[0002] Wide-mouth plastic cups (non-disposable plastic cups) have a wall thickness of 2 to 4 mm and can be nested with each other. They have a texture similar to that of glass cups, and their anti-fall performance and product production cost are superior to those of glass cups, so they are very popular in the market. The production process of wide-mouth plastic cups generally includes: injection blow molding, visual inspection, coding, cup stacking, and packaging into boxes. At present, the two processes of cup stacking and packaging into boxes in the whole set of flow processes require manual intervention. The Chinese invention patent with authorization announcement number CN111332553B discloses an integrated equipment for preparing, counting and packaging plastic cups. The equipment is mainly aimed at disposable plastic cups, and mainly solves the problem of automatic induction counting and film sealing packaging of plastic cups. The induction counting uses the induction signal after the touch of the extended reinforcement part of the mouth of the disposable plastic cup, while the mouth of the wide-mouth plastic cup generally does not need to be extended and strengthened, so it is not suitable for counting using this method. In addition, since it is much heavier than disposable plastic cups in weight, it generally does not need to be sealed after stacking but needs to be packaged into boxes. In addition, the products in the flow operation of the equipment are all arranged horizontally, resulting in large space occupation. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0033] Example 1

[0034] The present invention provides a wide-mouth plastic cup production line, which is directly arranged on the front side of the injection-blowing machine with a compact structure, so as to directly detect and package the plastic cups after they are formed, thereby reducing turnover and space occupation; Figure 1-2As shown, it specifically includes: a material taking manipulator 10 in front of the injection molding machine, a flow table 20 at one end of which the manipulator can reach, a directional guide component 30 arranged at the other end of the flow table 20, a stacking cup unloading component 40 arranged below the output end of the directional guide component 30, a coding component 50 arranged in the middle of the stacking cup unloading component 40, and a box receiving component 60 arranged below the stacking cup unloading component 40. The working process of the assembly line is that after the plastic cups are formed, they are placed on the flow table 20 by the material taking manipulator 10, and the conveyor belt of the flow table 20 transfers the plastic cups to the directional guide component 30. The directional guide component 30 ensures that the plastic cups enter the stacking cup unloading component 40 in the same direction. During the falling process of the plastic cups, they are blocked by the coding component 50 and the bottom of each plastic cup is sprayed with a mark. The sprayed plastic cups continue to fall. When the set number is reached, the stacking cup unloading component 40 starts unloading, and the corresponding box receiving component 60 receives them.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the directional guide assembly 30 includes a mounting plate 31 fixed to the end of the flow workbench 20, two guardrails 32, one end of which is fixed to the mounting plate 31 and the other end is fixed to the flow workbench 20, a guard member 33 provided on one side of the guardrail 32 fixed to the mounting plate 31 and fixed to the mounting plate 31, two parallel directional guide rods 34, one end of which is rotatably fixed to the mounting plate 31 and the other end of which is tilted downward to form a certain angle, and a fixed mounting seat 35 for rotatably mounting the directional guide rod 34, and a fixed mounting seat 35 for rotatably mounting the directional guide rod 34. The inner side of the mounting seat 35 is provided with two transmission gears 351 which are coaxially fixedly connected with the two directional guide rods 34 and mesh with each other; a driving motor 352 which is transmission-connected with one of the directional guide rods 34 on the outer side of the fixed mounting seat 35; a corner bracket 36 which is fixed at one end on the flow-through workbench 20 and at the other end for connecting and supporting the fixed mounting seat 35; a transmission belt 37 which is located below the directional guide rods 34 and is rotatably fixed at one end on the flow-through workbench 20 through a support and at the other end on the corner bracket 36; a transmission member 38 which is led out from one of the directional guide rods 34 through a pulley drive, then converted to a bevel gear and then converted to the transmission belt 37;

[0036] The two directional guide rods 34 have a section at one end close to the transmission gear 351, whose diameter is reduced to make the distance between them smaller than the maximum diameter of the plastic cup, thereby forming a drop zone 341; when the directional guide assembly 30 is working, the driving motor 352 drives the two directional guide rods 34 to rotate outward, so that the plastic cups that continuously enter are guided by the guardrail 32 and the shield 33. Since the diameter of the wide-mouth plastic cup is the largest at the mouth, no matter which end of the plastic cup is under the rotation of the directional guide rods 34 and the tilt angle, it will automatically adjust between the two directional guide rods 34 until the bottom of the plastic cup falls into the gap between the two directional guide rods 34, and below the two directional guide rods 34 is the running conveyor belt 37, so the bottom of the plastic cup will be quickly transferred to the side of the drop zone 341 when it touches the conveyor belt 37, and fall from the drop zone 341 in the same direction.

[0037] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the cup stacking and unloading assembly 40 includes a cup stacking tube 41 which is sleeved and fixed on the fixed mounting seat 35 below the material dropping area 341, and a connecting seat 44 which is fixed at the foot position of the transfer workbench 20 and is used to fix the cup stacking tube 41;

[0038] The length of the cup stacking tube 41 is close to the foot of the flow table 20 and the lower end is offset toward one end of the foot of the work table 20. The upper part of the cup stacking tube 41 is tilted outwards. The high end entrance of the cup stacking tube 41 is open outwards. The lower end of the cup stacking tube 41 is provided with an inwardly cut section 411 on the side facing the flow table 20. The inwardly cut section 411 is further downwards to the lowest end, which is an outwardly cut section 412 facing away from the flow table 20.

[0039] The stacking cup unloading assembly 40 also includes two guide rails 42 fixedly arranged at the two cut edges of the outward cut section 412 and extending upward, and a unloading half-circle cylinder 43 that is slidably matched with the guide rails 42 by fixing guide pins 01 at the upper and lower ends respectively; the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 refers to Figure 3 , 6 , 7, 13, the overall cross-section is semicircular, and the two long straight sides have limit stop bars 431 matching the guide rail 42, and the guide pins 01 are respectively fixedly installed on the upper and lower ends of the limit stop bars 431. After the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 cooperates with the guide rail 42, the two sides of the upward end are respectively rotatably fixed with elastic belt mounting buckles 02, and the two sides of the downward end are respectively rotatably fixed with unloading flip gears 03. The hinge shaft 04 is coaxially fixedly connected between the two unloading flip gears 03, and a support plate 07 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 located on one side of the unloading flip gear 03;

[0040] Reference Fig.14The middle part of the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 is composed of two arc-shaped flip doors 433 that can be flipped to both sides respectively. A magnetic strip 434 is fixed on one side where the two arc-shaped flip doors 433 intersect. An opening and closing trigger shaft 05 is fixed on one side where the unloading flip gear 03 is installed. A avoidance hole 06 is provided at the position of the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 corresponding to the opening and closing trigger shaft 05.

[0041] The unloading half-circle cylinder 43 also includes a cylinder reset member 45 fixedly arranged on the connecting seat 44; Figure 7 The cylinder reset member 45 includes two racks 451 arranged at positions corresponding to the unloading and flipping gears 03, and the inner sides of the two racks 451 are respectively provided with a triangular lifting plate 452 protruding upwards, and a reset cylinder 453 is fixedly arranged on one side of the two racks 451 facing the flow workbench 20, referring to Fig.13 , a receiving seat 454 fixed on the connecting seat 44 between the two racks 451; the receiving seat 454 has a groove 08 matching the hinge shaft 04, and is made of elastic plastic material. When the hinge shaft 04 falls with gravity, the position corresponds to the groove of the receiving seat 454, and can be squeezed into the groove 08 under the action of gravity. When the hinge shaft 04 falls into the groove 08, the outer side of the two triangular lifting plates 452 is just in contact with the hinge shaft 04. The purpose is that in this state, the reset cylinder 453 starts to move forward, and the two triangular lifting plates 452 will resist the hinge shaft 04 to force it to leave the groove 08, and make the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 return to the guide rail 42;

[0042] In order to facilitate the control of the movement of the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 in the guide rail 42, an elastic band retractable roll 09 is fixedly arranged in the cup stacking tube 41 near the highest point of the guide rail 42 and can be rotated at a certain angle. The elastic band retractable roll 09 has a coil spring inside, and the elastic band is retracted by the coil spring. The elastic band itself is also elastic, and the exposed end of the elastic band is fixedly connected to the elastic band mounting buckle 02; in order to allow the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 to unload itself after receiving a certain number of plastic cups, the elastic force of the coil spring of the elastic band and the elastic force of the elastic band itself need to match the weight design of the plastic cups, that is, each time a plastic cup is received, the elastic band retractable roll 09 releases a section of the elastic band until the hinge shaft 04 enters the groove 08. At this time, the stacked plastic cups received are a group, and the number is the number of one discharge. Since the inclined setting of the cup stacking tube 41 can make the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 have a tendency to tip outward after losing the limit of the guide rail, after the hinge shaft 04 falls into the groove 08, the guide pin 01 at the lower part has been separated from the guide rail 42, and the two guide rails 42 corresponding to the guide pin 01 at the upper part are provided with notches 001. In this way, the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 will turn downward around the hinge shaft 04. In order to open the arc-shaped flip door 433 when turning to the required angle so that the stacked plastic cups can fall downward into the packaging box, refer to Figure 8A recessed avoidance notch 002 is provided in the connection seat 44 for unloading the half-circle cylinder 43 when it is turned downward. Two arc grooves 004 are provided at the lower end surface of the avoidance notch 002 in the connection seat 44 for the corresponding movement of the opening and closing trigger shafts 05 when the two arc-shaped flip doors 433 are opened. A trigger pin 003 protruding upward is fixedly set in the avoidance notch 002. The diameter of the upper end of the trigger pin 003 is the smallest and gradually increases downward to form a cone shape as a whole. The position of the trigger pin 003 corresponds to the center of the two opening and closing trigger shafts 05, which is set to be when the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 is turned downward to When the far end is lower than the horizontal position, the trigger pin 003 enters between the two opening and closing trigger shafts 05. At this time, the stacked plastic cups will slide toward the far end because the far end of the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 is lower than the horizontal position, that is, the group of plastic cups completely enters the area of ​​the arc-shaped flip door 433, and the tapered shape of the trigger pin 003 forces the two opening and closing trigger shafts 05 to separate, that is, the two magnetic strips 434 separate, and the two arc-shaped flip doors 433 are opened under the dead weight of the stacked plastic cups, and the group of plastic cups falls out in the gap between the two arc-shaped flip doors 433.

[0043] When the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 turns downward to unload the group of plastic cups, the cylinder reset member 45 can be in a depressurized state, that is, it naturally turns downward with the gravity of the unloading half-circle cylinder 43, until the two arc-shaped turning doors 433 are opened to unload the group of plastic cups. The cylinder reset member 45 can also be in an actuated state, that is, the speed of the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 turning downward is controlled by controlling the moving speed of its two racks 451;

[0044] After the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 has completed unloading the group of plastic cups, it is necessary to close the two arc-shaped flip doors 433 and then return the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 to its original position by moving the rack 451 and the triangular lifting plate 452. For this purpose, refer to Figure 8-9 A rotation reset member 005 is respectively arranged at the end adjacent to the two arc-shaped grooves 004. The power source of the rotation reset member 005 can be a motor or a cylinder. The rotation reset member 005 pushes the opening and closing trigger shaft 05 to reset the two arc-shaped flip doors 433.

[0045] In order to prevent the upper assembly line from stagnating when unloading the half-circle tube 43, a cylinder stopper 70 is fixedly provided on the cup stacking tube 41 between the inwardly split section 411 and the outwardly split section 412 and toward the side of the transfer workbench 20. The telescopic end of the cylinder stopper 70 can enter the interior of the cup stacking tube 41 to block the falling plastic cups.

[0046] Reference Figure 10-12The inkjet coding assembly 50 includes an inkjet terminal 51 that can be translated into the inwardly cut section 411, a cam blocking member 52 arranged upward from the inwardly cut section 411, and a reduction transmission member 53 that applies power to the cam blocking member 52; the reduction transmission member 53 includes a small pulley 531 coaxially fixedly connected to the distal transmission shaft of the transmission belt 37, and a large pulley 532 connected by a belt drive; the large pulley 532 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting seat 35 through two supports; the cam blocking member 52 includes a cam 521 sleeved on the central axis of the large pulley 532, a compression spring 522 sleeved on the central axis of the large pulley 532 on the side away from the large pulley 532, and a contact head 523 fixed on the surface of the central axis of the large pulley 532 on the side close to the large pulley 532; the cam 521 refers to Fig.11 , with a raised guide portion 52a upward, a guide seat 52b matched with the guide portion is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the mounting seat 35, one end of the cam 521 axial direction is a straight end, and the other end is a cam end, the circumferential surfaces of the straight end and the cam end have a certain interval, and the axial direction is respectively extended from the center to the outside from small to large conical surfaces, the two conical surfaces can respectively block the entering plastic cup when the cam 521 moves back and forth laterally, that is, when the cam 521 continuously moves back and forth laterally, the plastic cup falls for a pause here, and during the short pause, the spray terminal 51 just enters to spray the mark on the plastic cup, the continuous lateral reciprocating movement of the cam 521 is obtained by the rotation of the large pulley 532, specifically, when the large pulley 532 rotates, the contact head 523 rotates accordingly and presses the cam end of the cam 521, and after the cam 521 moves, its straight end squeezes the compression spring 522, thereby obtaining continuous reciprocating movement.

[0047] In order to facilitate receiving the plastic cups in groups, a device that can be translated is set directly below the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 when it is horizontal, referring to Figure 6 , place the packaging box on the device and fill the packaging box by timely translation.

[0048] The overall working steps of the assembly line (refer to all attached pictures):

[0049] 1. According to Figure 4 As shown, the material taking robot 10 takes the formed plastic cup out of the injection molding machine and puts it into the transfer workbench 20;

[0050] 2. After visual inspection, the plastic cups enter the orientation guide assembly 30 and enter the stacking cup unloading assembly 40 after orientation adjustment;

[0051] 3. In the stacked cup unloading assembly 40, the coding assembly 50 completes coding and marking on each plastic cup;

[0052] 4. According to Figure 6As shown, the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 unloads the group of plastic cups into the packaging box, and at this time, the cylinder blocking member 70 extends to block the falling plastic cups;

[0053] 5. Under the action of the starting cylinder reset member 45 and the elastic band retractable roll 09, the unloading half-circle cylinder 43 is reset to return to the initial pick-up position, the cylinder blocking member 70 retracts, and the plastic cup continues to fall into the unloading half-circle cylinder 43; and the process is repeated in sequence.
