[0025] Such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, a fully automatic milk tea cup conveyor line includes a vertical annular conveyor belt 3. On both sides of the vertical annular conveyor belt 3, a first conveyor belt 1 and a second conveyor belt 2 are respectively arranged. The vertical annular conveyor belt 3 includes an annular transmission belt 6. On the annular transmission belt 6, turnover clamping members 7 are arranged at equal intervals. The turnover clamping member 7 includes a connecting plate 8 hinged to the annular transmission belt 6. On the upper end surface of the connecting plate 8, a fixing member 34 is arranged. The fixing member 34 includes a driving member and two clamping plates 16. The driving member is used to control the two clamping plates 16 to move towards each other to clamp the milk tea cups placed on the first conveyor belt 1. The two clamping plates 16 are located on the front side and the rear side of the clamped milk tea cups. On one side of the connecting plate 8 where the fixing member 34 is arranged, a first airbag 17 is arranged. On the other side of the connecting plate 8, a second airbag 18 communicated with the first airbag 17 is arranged. The two sides of the second airbag 18 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 8 and the annular transmission belt 6.

[0026] When it is necessary to transport the milk tea cups, the milk tea cups are transported on the first conveyor belt 1. The milk tea cups are transported by the first conveyor belt 1 to one side of the vertical annular conveyor belt 3. The driving member controls the two clamping plates 16 to move towards each other to clamp the milk tea cups placed on the first conveyor belt 1. After the milk tea cups are clamped, the vertical annular conveyor belt 3 drives the milk tea cups to be transported and turns them over. After turning over, the opening of the milk tea cup faces downward. The diameter of the opening of the milk tea cup is larger than the diameter of the bottom of the milk tea cup. The milk tea cups with the opening facing downward are placed on the second conveyor belt 2. The fixed clamping members on the second conveyor belt 2 fixedly clamp the milk tea cups. The subsequent milk tea cups are sequentially stacked on the previous milk tea cup placed on the second conveyor belt 2. Then the driving member controls the two clamping plates 16 to move away from each other to loosen the milk tea cups. At this time, while the two clamping plates 16 move in opposite directions, they also move downward. The two clamping plates 16 are also convenient for tightly sleeving the milk tea cups on the previous milk tea cup. After the milk tea cup is sleeved on the previous milk tea cup, the lower end of the connecting plate 8 swings due to the limitation of the milk tea cup. The connecting plate 8 swings counterclockwise upward. Since the connecting plate 8 is hinged to the annular transmission belt 6, the connecting plate 8 has a tendency to swing downward. The connecting plate 8 is also convenient for tightly sleeving the milk tea cups on the previous milk tea cup. The present invention is convenient for sleeving multiple paper milk tea cups and also improves the production efficiency.

[0027] On the outer side of the second airbag 18, a multi - section telescopic sheath 19 is arranged. The two ends of the multi - section telescopic sheath 19 are respectively movably connected to the connecting plate 8 and the annular transmission belt 6, which is convenient for squeezing the second airbag 18 when the connecting plate 8 swings. The air in the second airbag 18 can enter the first airbag 17, further reducing the damage of the connecting plate 8 to the milk tea cups.

[0028] The annular drive belt 6 is hinged to the connecting plate 8 by a first hinge shaft 9. A first torsion spring is provided on the first hinge shaft 9, and both ends of the first torsion spring are in contact with the connecting plate 8 and the annular drive belt 6 respectively. The middle part of the lower end face of the connecting plate 8 is connected to the annular drive belt 6 by a first spring 10.

[0029] A friction rubber elastic plate 11 is provided on the end face of the first airbag 17 in contact with the milk tea cup. The friction rubber elastic plate 11 is arranged parallel to the connecting plate 8, and the length of the friction rubber elastic plate 11 is greater than the length of the connecting plate 8. The friction rubber elastic plate 11 facilitates the downward movement of the friction rubber elastic plate 11 when the connecting plate 8 moves downward, so as to contact the milk tea cup and pull the milk tea cup to be nested more tightly with the milk tea cup below it.

[0030] One side of the fixing member 34 is provided with a first limiting block 20 fixedly connected to the annular drive belt 6, and the first limiting block 20 is in contact with the connecting plate 8.

[0031] It is convenient to turn and transport the milk tea cups transported on the first conveyor belt 1 to the second conveyor belt 2. The vertical annular conveyor belt 3 further includes a first transmission gear 4, and a second transmission gear 5 driven by the annular drive belt 6 is provided below the first transmission gear 4.

[0032] A connecting frame 21 is provided on the other side of the second conveyor belt 2. A lifting member 22 is provided on the connecting frame 21.

On one side of the two adjusting plates 30 facing each other, a quantity control plate 33 is hingedly arranged. The quantity control plate 33 is connected to the adjusting plate 30 by a second hinge shaft 31. The lifting plate 24 controls the lifting of the lifting plate 24. The lifting plate 24 is located directly above the second conveyor belt 2. The distance between the lifting plate 24 and the second conveyor belt 2 is the height of the nested milk tea cups. After nesting to the set height, the second conveyor belt 2 transports the nested milk tea cups, which is convenient for the nesting of the subsequent milk tea cups.

[0033] A second torsion spring is provided on the second hinge shaft 31, and both ends of the second torsion spring are in contact with the quantity control plate 33 and the adjusting plate 30 respectively. A second limiting block 32 fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 30 is in contact with the quantity control plate 33. The middle part of the lower end face of the quantity control plate 33 is connected to the adjusting plate 30 by a second spring. The second limiting block 32 facilitates restricting the upward swing of the quantity control plate 33, and the quantity control plate 33 facilitates being touched by the milk tea cup when the milk tea cup moves downward and driving the quantity control plate 33 to swing.

[0034] The quantity control member is connected to the lifting plate 24 through a spacing adjusting member 25. The spacing adjusting member 25 includes an adjusting motor 26 connected to the end face of the lifting plate 24. The output end of the adjusting motor 26 is connected with an adjusting rotating shaft 27. Two adjusting thread segments 28 with opposite thread directions are arranged on the adjusting rotating shaft 27. Each adjusting thread segment 28 is provided with an adjusting ball 29. The two adjusting balls 29 are respectively fixedly connected to two adjusting plates 30. The spacing adjusting member 25 is used to adjust the spacing between the two adjusting plates 30, thereby facilitating the control of the spacing between the two quantity control plates 33. It is convenient to control the spacing between the two quantity control plates 33 for milk tea cups of different sizes. The spacing adjusting member 25 controls the spacing between the two quantity control plates 33 to become larger, facilitating larger milk tea cups to pass through the two quantity control plates 33 and come to the second conveyor belt 2 for stacking. The milk tea cups move downward under the transmission of the vertical annular conveyor belt 3. The milk tea cups squeeze the two quantity control plates 33, and the two quantity control plates 33 swing once. The number of swings of the quantity control plates 33 can be used to count the number of stacked milk tea cups.

[0035] The lifting member 22 includes a connecting frame 21 connected to the lifting control cylinder 23. The telescopic end of the lifting control cylinder 23 is connected to the lifting plate 24. The lifting control cylinder 23 expands and contracts to lift and lower the lifting plate 24, facilitating the control of the stacking height of the milk tea cups.

[0036] To facilitate the clamping and fixing of the milk tea cups, the driving member includes a clamping motor 12 connected to the connecting plate 8. The output end of the clamping motor 12 is connected with a clamping rotating shaft 13. Two clamping thread segments 14 with opposite thread directions are arranged on the clamping rotating shaft 13. The clamping thread segments 14 are provided with clamping balls 15. A track parallel to the clamping rotating shaft 13 is arranged on the connecting plate 8. The two clamping balls 15 are both slidably connected to the track. The two clamping plates 16 are respectively connected to the two clamping balls 15 one by one. When it is necessary to transport the milk tea cups on the first conveyor belt 1 to the vertical annular conveyor belt 3, the first conveyor belt 1 transports the milk tea cups to one side of the vertical annular conveyor belt 3. The clamping motor 12 is started to drive the clamping rotating shaft 13 to rotate, driving the two clamping balls 15 to move towards each other, so that the two clamping plates 16 move towards each other to clamp and fix the milk tea cups, facilitating the flipping of the milk tea cups on the vertical annular conveyor belt 3.

[0037] A groove is formed on the connecting plate 8. The fixing member 34 is arranged in the groove. The two clamping plates 16 extend out of the groove.

[0038] There are two of the first conveyor belts 1, and the two first conveyor belts 1 are arranged in parallel with each other. On one side of the two first conveyor belts 1 facing each other, transportation clamping members are arranged at equal intervals. The transportation clamping member includes a suction cup connected to the first conveyor belt 1. The suction cup is connected to the first conveyor belt 1 through a driving telescopic rod. The suction cup is communicated with an air pump through a straw. When the milk tea cup is transported between the two first conveyor belts 1, the suction cup adsorbs and fixes the milk tea cup, facilitating the stable transportation of the milk tea cup.
