Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a degradable cup taking, placing and conveying integrated machine and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional disposable cups are relatively difficult to degrade. With the continuous development of society, people's quality of life is also constantly improving. Water is an indispensable substance for the human body. As living standards continue to improve, disposable items are becoming more and more common. Large-scale use will cause environmental pollution. Therefore, degradable cups are a trend in the future.

[0003] When producing biodegradable cups, especially for the last step, after they are finally shaped, they need to be grabbed by a robotic arm and transported to a conveyor belt. Finally, the quantity is manually confirmed before packaging.

[0004] However, there are several disadvantages when taking or placing: when the robotic arm swings to take or place, there is a period of idle time, and the production efficiency of the production machinery is relatively high. There will also be an idle time while waiting for taking, which reduces the production efficiency. In addition, during transportation, a conveyor belt is usually used for transportation, and the collected quantity is relatively fixed. It needs to be checked by manpower before the next step can be taken. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a decoration with relatively high efficiency in taking and placing and a relatively fixed number of placements. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] To address the existing issues of a large number of unused spaces and the inability to arrange the required number of degradable cups, the present invention provides a degradable cup retrieval, placement, and transport machine and its method of use. The following, combined with the accompanying drawings, provides a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the invention described is only a portion of the present invention, not the entire invention. Based on the inventions herein, all other inventions obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an all-in-one machine for picking up, placing and transporting degradable cups, comprising a bracket 1, a rotatable flip frame 2 being provided on the bracket 1, a telescopic bin 5 being symmetrically provided on the picking up and placing end of the flip frame 2, an expansion bin 10 being provided on the telescopic bin 5 which can expand outward and fit the inner wall of the degradable cup when squeezed, a feeding bin 16 being provided at the transport end of the bracket 1 which can accommodate degradable cups, recovery blocks 17 which can move vertically back and forth being symmetrically provided at the internal engaging ends of the feed bin 16, friction blocks 18 which can generate friction on the degradable cup being provided at relative positions of the two recovery blocks 17, and a groove 19 which can cancel the restriction on the recovery blocks 17 being provided inside the feed bin 16.

[0026] Furthermore, a placement rod 3 is symmetrically provided on the surface of the flip frame 2, a rotating rod 4 is provided on the placement rod 3, and the telescopic bin 5 is provided on the rotating rod 4; through the rotating rod 4, the lower end of the telescopic bin 5 is always pointed to the ground when rotating or stopping, thereby ensuring that the biodegradable cups can be taken and placed.

[0027] Furthermore, an electric push rod 6 is provided inside the telescopic warehouse 5, a cross bar 7 is provided at the power output end of the electric push rod 6, and an extension rod 8 is provided on the surface of the cross bar 7 in a linear array, and the expansion warehouse 10 is provided on the extension rod 8; the cross bar 7 is driven to move by the electric push rod 6, thereby synchronously driving all the extension rods 8 to move.

[0028] Furthermore, an extrusion block 9 is provided on the extension rod 8, and a slope block 11 is provided inside the expansion chamber 10 at a position corresponding to the extrusion block 9. The slope block 11 passes through the expansion chamber 10 and a contact block 12 is provided on one side; the extrusion block 9 squeezes the slope block 11, thereby forcing it to drive the contact block 12 to expand outward.

[0029] Furthermore, a push lock 13 is provided on the extension rod 8, and the other side of the push lock 13 is provided inside the expansion compartment 10; the push lock 13 is locked when pressed for the first time and unlocked when pressed for the second time.

[0030] Furthermore, a discharge bin 14 is provided on the bracket 1 , and the feed bin 16 is provided on the discharge bin 14 in a linear array; the feed bin 16 is supported by the discharge bin 14 .

[0031] Furthermore, a connecting rod 15 is provided on the discharge bin 14 at a position corresponding to the feed bin 16, and multiple connecting rods 15 are connected through a load-bearing rod 23. A first servo motor 25 is provided on the discharge bin 14, and a screw rod 24 is provided at the power output end of the first servo motor 25, and the screw rod 24 is provided on the load-bearing rod 23; the first servo motor 25 is started, and the first servo motor 25 drives the screw rod 24 to rotate. Since the two friction blocks 18 are connected, the friction block 18 is driven to reset under the action of the thread for the next collection.

[0032] Furthermore, a screw 21 is symmetrically provided on the feed bin 16 with the lead screw 24, and a threaded block 20 is provided on the surface of the screw 21. The two recovery blocks 17 are connected to the screw 21 and the supporting rod 23 through the threaded block 20 and the connecting rod 15 respectively, and a deceleration block 22 is provided on one side of the surface of the screw 21; under the action of the extension rod 8, the cup is driven to be inserted into the feed bin 16. Since the deceleration block 22 will reduce the rotation speed of the screw 21, the descending speed of the friction block 18 will be slowed down under the action of the thread, so that a certain upward force will be generated after the cup and the friction block 18 contact each other, and then the lock 13 will be pressed again to unlock it so that the extension rod 8 can move in the expansion bin 10. Since a spring is embedded in the inclined block 11, when the extension rod 8 contracts, the extrusion block 9 on its surface will cancel the extrusion of the contact block 12, and then the cup can be put down after it contracts under the action of the spring to cancel the restriction on the cup wall.

[0033] Furthermore, a second servo motor 26 is provided on the bracket 1, the flip frame 2 is provided on the surface of the second servo motor 26, and a sensor 27 is provided on the lower surface of the discharge bin 14; the flip frame 2 is driven to rotate by the second servo motor 26, and the falling situation of the degradable cup is sensed by the sensor 27.

[0034] The method for using the biodegradable cup taking, placing and transporting integrated machine comprises the following steps:

[0035] Step A, Debugging: Debug the entire device and install it at the designated location. The debugging requirements are as follows:

[0036] 1. The bottom of the biodegradable cup after shaping is horizontally located from the turning frame 2, minus 1 cm from the maximum extension distance of the extension rod 8.

[0037] 2. Stack the biodegradable cups according to the preset number, measure the height, and adjust the size of the groove 19 in the feed bin 16 so that the length of the upper part of the feed bin 16 is equal to the measured height;

[0038] Step B, taking the cup: Start the electric push rod 6 located just above the newly produced cup, and let it drive the cross bar 7 to move downward, thereby synchronously driving the extension rod 8 to move downward until the bottom of the expansion chamber 10 contacts the bottom of the cup. Continue squeezing, so that the squeezing block 9 squeezes the inclined block 11, forcing the contact block 12 to expand outward, so that it fits the cup wall. Under the action of squeezing, the lock 13 is pressed to lock, allowing the expansion chamber 10 to maintain its original shape and continue to rub against the cup wall;

[0039] Step C, placing the cup: start the second servo motor 26, which drives the flip frame 2 to rotate, and drives the cup to flip and move to the discharge bin 14 under the action of friction, and then start the electric push rod 6 again synchronously. Under the action of the electric push rod 6 located on the discharge bin 14, the cup is driven to be inserted into the feed bin 16 under the action of the extension rod 8. Since the deceleration block 22 reduces the rotation speed of the screw 21, the descending speed of the friction block 18 is slowed down under the action of the thread, so that a certain upward force is generated after the cup and the friction block 18 contact each other, and then the lock 13 is restarted to unlock it so that the extension rod 8 can move in the extension bin 10. Since a spring is embedded in the inclined block 11, when the extension rod 8 contracts, the extrusion block 9 on its surface will cancel the extrusion of the contact block 12, and then contract under the action of the spring to cancel the restriction on the cup wall, and then the cup can be placed down;

[0040] Step D, quantitative collection: Repeat the above operation. With continuous collection, the height of the cups inside the feed bin 16 continues to increase until the friction block 18 is driven to move to the groove 19. Since the inner diameter of the groove 19 is larger than the inner diameter of the feed bin 16, the support for the recovery block 17 is cancelled. As a result, the two friction blocks 18 are separated from the surface of the cups under the action of the recovery block 17. The collected cups fall under the action of gravity. At this time, they are sensed by the sensor 27, which starts the first servo motor 25. The first servo motor 25 drives the screw rod 24 to rotate. Since the two friction blocks 18 are connected, the action of the thread drives the friction block 18 to reset and the next collection is carried out.

[0041] Step E: Repeat the above operation to achieve continuous taking, placing and transport of the biodegradable cups.

[0042] The present invention provides a biodegradable cup taking, placing and conveying integrated machine and a method of using the same, which have the following advantages:

[0043] 1. When the whole machine is in use, the degradable cups are picked up and placed by rotating the arms, which reduces the idle intervals caused by swinging, thereby increasing the overall production efficiency;

[0044] 2. Through the mutual cooperation of the friction block 18, the recovery block 17 and the groove 19, after collecting a specified number of degradable cups, automatic release and transmission are realized, which reduces the subsequent manual placement process, reduces costs and increases production efficiency. It can be widely applied to degradable cup retrieval, placement and transmission all-in-one machines.

[0045] While the invention has been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made thereto without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

Under the action of the electric push rod (6) located on the discharge bin (14), the cup is driven to be inserted into the feed bin (16) under the action of the extension rod (8).
