When the cup cover rotates to the top of the circular hole on the top of the base plate, air can be blown through the air port of the air pump, so that the cup cover at the bottom of the suction tube can fall from the circular hole on the top of the base plate to the space surrounded by the limiting rod and be lifted by the receiving fork. As the cup cover continues to fall, the cup cover can be gathered in the space surrounded by the limiting rod, thereby stacking the cup cover.

[0025] 4. The integrated equipment for detecting, stacking and packaging cup lids, as the rotating shaft drives the suction module to rotate continuously as a whole, causes the sucked cup lids to rotate together. When the cup lids rotate to just above the circular hole on the top of the base plate, air can be blown through the air port of the air pump, so that the cup lids at the bottom of the suction tube can fall from the circular hole on the top of the base plate to the space surrounded by the limiting rod and be lifted by the receiving fork. As the cup lids continue to fall, the space surrounded by the limiting rod can be gathered to stack the cup lids.

[0026] 5.

The integrated equipment for detecting, stacking and packaging cup lids, when the cup lids are stacked in the space surrounded by the limit rod, the auxiliary fork can be driven to move upward by the output end of the second linear drive, so that the auxiliary fork moves to the position of the bottom end of the limit rod, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is extended to move the receiving fork out of the limit rod, thereby transferring the stacked cup lids to the auxiliary fork, and as the output end of the second linear drive drives the auxiliary fork to move downward, the cup lids can be transferred.

[0028] 7.

[0029] 8. The integrated equipment for detecting, stacking and packaging cup lids utilizes the forward rotation of the output end of the stepper motor to drive the round roller to rotate, so that the belt can run, and the support plate and the round rod can be driven to move toward the direction close to the limit rod. When the round rod moves to the bottom of the limit rod, the stepper motor is paused to allow the auxiliary fork to be inserted into the space surrounded by the round rod, so as to facilitate the collection of the stacked cup lids.

[0030] 9. The cup cover detection, stacking and packaging integrated equipment, as the auxiliary fork is driven downward by the output end of the second linear drive, the stacked cup covers enter the space surrounded by the round rods, and the round rollers are driven to rotate in the opposite direction by the output end of the stepper motor, so that the belt can be reversed, so that the support plate and the round rod move the cup cover materials toward the position of the turning component, so that the cup cover materials can be put into operation, and the overall position of the cup cover materials can be changed to prepare for subsequent loading.

[0031] 10.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] The first embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0044] A cup cover detection stacking packaging integrated device comprises a body 1 and a frame 4, wherein the frame 4 is installed at the side of the outer side of the body 1, a detector 2 is installed at the middle of the top of the body 1, and a feeder 3 is installed on the top of the body 1. The cup cover to be detected is placed on one end of the feeder 3 on the top of the body 1, and the cup cover to be detected can be conveyed toward the bottom of the detector 2 through the feeder 3. The cup cover can be detected by moving and passing through the bottom of the detector 2;

[0045] A material storage mechanism 5, which is used to take and stack the cup lids, and is installed outside the machine body 1 and close to the frame 4;

[0046] The material storage mechanism 5 comprises a right-angle frame 51 and a base plate 52. The right-angle frame 51 is mounted on the side of the outer side of the machine body 1. The base plate 52 is mounted on the outer side of the machine body 1 and away from the right-angle frame 51. A first linear driver 53 is mounted on the bottom of the base plate 52 and away from the end of the machine body 1. A cylinder 54 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first linear driver 53. A second linear driver 55 is mounted on the outer side of the machine body 1 and close to the base plate 52. A limiting rod 56 is fixedly mounted on the circular hole at the bottom of the base plate 52. A material receiving fork 57 is mounted on the output end of the cylinder 54 and close to the limiting rod 56. An auxiliary fork 58 is mounted on the output end of the second linear driver 55. A material taking assembly 59 is mounted in the middle of the inner side of the right-angle frame 51. As more cup lids gather in the space surrounded by the limiting rod 56, the output end of the first linear driver 53 can be used to drive the cylinder 54 to move downward, so that the material receiving fork 57 moves downward together, so that more cup lids can be accumulated.

[0047] The limiting rod 56 is evenly installed at the circular hole at the bottom of the base plate 52, and the position of the receiving fork 57 corresponds to the position of the limiting rod 56. When the cup lids are stacked in the space surrounded by the limiting rod 56, the auxiliary fork 58 can be driven to move upward by the output end of the second linear drive 55, so that the auxiliary fork 58 moves to the position of the bottom end of the limiting rod 56, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 54 is extended to move the receiving fork 57 out of the limiting rod 56, so that the stacked cup lids are transferred to the auxiliary fork 58, and as the output end of the second linear drive 55 drives the auxiliary fork 58 to move downward, the cup lids can be transferred.

[0048] The material taking component 59 includes a servo motor 591 and a rotating shaft 592. The servo motor 591 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the machine body 1 and close to the second linear drive 55. The rotating shaft 592 is rotatably mounted on the top of the inner side of the right-angle frame 51. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 592 is fixedly mounted with the output end of the servo motor 591 through a coupling. A presser 593 is installed at the corner of the top of the right-angle frame 51. A cross frame 594 is fixedly mounted on the outer cylindrical surface of the rotating shaft 592 and close to the position of the presser 593. An air pump 595 is installed on the side of the top of the cross frame 594. A suction device is installed at the end of the cross frame 594 away from the rotating shaft 592. Module 596, the staff turns on the servo motor 591 to work, and uses the rotation of the output end of the servo motor 591 and with the support of the right-angle frame 51 to drive the rotating shaft 592 to rotate, so that the cross frame 594 rotates with the rotating shaft 592, and the suction module 596 can be driven to rotate as a whole. When the suction module 596 rotates as a whole to just above the cup cover, the servo motor 591 is paused to facilitate the removal of materials from the cup cover. When the removal of materials is completed, the servo motor 591 can be turned on again to work, and the next suction module 596 can be rotated to the specified position to continue to remove materials from the cup cover.

[0049] There are four air pumps 595 , and the four air pumps 595 are evenly installed on the sides of the top of the cross frame 594 , and the suction module 596 is installed at a position close to the suction module 596 .

[0050] The suction module 596 includes a flat plate 5961, which is fixedly mounted on one end of the cross frame 594 away from the rotating shaft 592. A guide column 5962 is slidably mounted on the side of the outer side of the flat plate 5961. A support bar 5963 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the guide column 5962. A suction pipe 5964 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support bar 5963. An elastic reset member 5965 is installed between the top of the guide column 5962 and the top of the flat plate 5961. A hose 5966 is connected between the air port at the top of the suction pipe 5964 and the air port of the air pump 595. When the suction module 596 is rotated as a whole to the top of the cup cover, the presser 593 can be used to press the top of the guide column 5962. The pressure on the end causes the guide column 5962 to drive the support bar 5963 to move downward, and the elastic reset member 5965 is compressed, so that the bottom end of the suction tube 5964 fits against the top of the cup cover, and the air pump 595 is turned on to work, and the air port of the air pump 595 is used to inhale air, and under the transportation of the hose 5966, the gas inside the suction tube 5964 is sucked out, and under the action of negative pressure, the cup cover is sucked by the bottom end of the suction tube 5964, and the pressure of the presser 593 on the top of the guide column 5962 is stopped, and under the elastic force of the elastic reset member 5965, the guide column 5962 drives the support bar 5963 to move upward for reset, and the cup cover can be sucked up.

[0051] As the rotating shaft 592 drives the suction module 596 to rotate continuously as a whole, the sucked cup lids are also driven to rotate. When the cup lids rotate to just above the circular hole on the top of the base plate 52, air can be blown through the air port of the air pump 595, so that the cup lids at the bottom of the suction tube 5964 can fall from the circular hole on the top of the base plate 52 to the space surrounded by the limiting rod 56 and be supported by the receiving fork 57. As the cup lids continue to fall, the cup lids can be gathered in the space surrounded by the limiting rod 56, thereby stacking the cup lids.

To work, the contraction of the telescopic end of the first hydraulic cylinder 64 can drive the three-claw hook material block 67 to move, and pull the transferred cup cover material onto the arc-shaped positioning plate 63, so that no preliminary positioning is performed and it can be opened for work, and the extension of the telescopic end of the second hydraulic cylinder 65 can push the baffle 66 downward, so that the bottom of the baffle 66 is slightly higher than the edge of the top of the arc-shaped positioning plate 63, so that the cup cover material on the arc-shaped positioning plate 63 can be blocked, so that the cup cover material is not easy to slip off, and through the operation of the conveyor belt on the conveying discharger 62, the cup cover material can be output to the outside, which is convenient for packaging the cup cover material.

[0055] The first hydraulic cylinder 64 is installed at an angle, and passes through the middle of the material transfer belt outside the conveying and discharging device 62 , and the arc-shaped positioning plate 63 is evenly installed on the material transfer belt outside the conveying and discharging device 62 .

[0056] The third embodiment is based on the first and second embodiments. Figures 1 to 9 As shown:

[0057] A transfer mechanism 7 is installed on the top of the frame 4. The transfer mechanism 7 includes a round roller 71 and a stepper motor 72. The round roller 71 is installed at both ends of the top of the frame 4. The stepper motor 72 is installed on the outside of the frame 4 and close to the round roller 71. The output end of the stepper motor 72 is fixedly installed between the round roller 71 through a coupling. A belt 73 is installed on the outer surface of the round roller 71 and close to the frame 4. A support plate 74 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer side of the belt 73. A first electric telescopic rod 75 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the support plate 74. The round hole on the top of the support plate 74 A round rod 76 is fixedly installed, and a material turning assembly 77 is installed in the middle of the top of the frame 4. The staff turns on the stepper motor 72 to work. The output end of the stepper motor 72 rotates forward, which can drive the round roller 71 to rotate, so that the belt 73 runs, and the support plate 74 and the round rod 76 can be driven to move in the direction close to the limit rod 56. When the round rod 76 moves to just below the limit rod 56, the stepper motor 72 is suspended, so that the auxiliary fork 58 is inserted into the space surrounded by the round rod 76, so as to facilitate the collection of the stacked cup lids.

[0058] The round rods 76 are evenly installed at the round holes on the top of the support plate 74. There are three first electric telescopic rods 75, and the three first electric telescopic rods 75 are evenly installed at the bottom of the support plate 74. As the auxiliary fork 58 is driven downward by the output end of the second linear drive 55, the stacked cup lids enter the space surrounded by the round rods 76, and the round rollers 71 are driven to rotate in the opposite direction by the output end of the stepper motor 72, so that the belt 73 can be reversed, so that the support plate 74 and the round rods 76 move the cup lid material toward the position of the turning assembly 77, so that the cup lid material can be rotated, and the overall position of the cup lid material can be changed to prepare for subsequent loading.

[0059] The material turning assembly 77 includes a U-shaped frame 771, the opening of the U-shaped frame 771 is downward, and the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 771 is fixedly installed at the middle of the top of the frame 4, a support plate 772 is rotatably installed on the outside of the U-shaped frame 771 and near the top, a circular notch 773 is provided on the outside of the support plate 772 and near the position of the three-claw hook material block 67, a guide rod 774 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 772 and near the circular notch 773, a force-bearing tooth 775 is fixedly installed on the side of the outside of the support plate 772, and a second electric telescopic rod 776 is hinged between the bottom end of the force-bearing tooth 775 and the side of the outside of the frame 4.

[0060] When the support plate 74 and the round rod 76 move the cup cover material to just below the support piece 772, the stepper motor 72 is paused and the first electric telescopic rod 75 is turned on to work. The cup cover material can be pushed upward by the extension of the protruding end of the first electric telescopic rod 75, and under the guidance of the round rod 76, the cup cover material enters the guide rod 774, and the friction between the outer cylindrical surface of the guide rod 774 and the edge of the cup cover material can make the cup cover material be in the space surrounded by the guide rod 774, and the second electric telescopic rod 776 is turned on to work. The extension of the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 776 can apply a driving force to the force-bearing tooth 775, so as to drive the support piece 772 to rotate and adjust the angle, so as to facilitate the removal of the cup cover material in the space surrounded by the guide rod 774.

[0061] The guide rod 774 is evenly installed on the top of the support plate 772 and close to the circular notch 773, and the second electric telescopic rod 776 is installed at an angle.

[0062] When in use, the staff first turns on the stepper motor 72 to work, and the output end of the stepper motor 72 rotates forward to drive the round roller 71 to rotate, so that the belt 73 runs, and the support plate 74 and the round rod 76 can be driven to move in the direction close to the limit rod 56. When the round rod 76 moves to the right below the limit rod 56, the stepper motor 72 is stopped to allow the auxiliary fork 58 to be inserted into the space surrounded by the round rod 76;

[0063] Then, the cup cover to be inspected is placed on one end of the feeder 3 on the top of the machine body 1, and the cup cover to be inspected can be transported toward the bottom of the detector 2 through the feeder 3. The cup cover can be inspected by moving through the bottom of the detector 2;

[0064] At this time, the staff starts the servo motor 591 to work, and uses the rotation of the output end of the servo motor 591 and the support of the right-angle frame 51 to drive the rotating shaft 592 to rotate, so that the cross frame 594 rotates with the rotating shaft 592, and the suction module 596 can be driven to rotate as a whole. When the suction module 596 rotates as a whole to just above the cup cover, the servo motor 591 is stopped;

[0065] The top of the guide column 5962 is pressed by the presser 593, so that the guide column 5962 drives the support bar 5963 to move downward, and the elastic reset member 5965 is compressed, so that the bottom end of the suction pipe 5964 fits with the top of the cup cover, and the air pump 595 is turned on to work, and the air port of the air pump 595 is used to suck air, and under the transportation of the hose 5966, the gas inside the suction pipe 5964 is sucked out, and under the action of negative pressure, the cup cover is sucked by the bottom end of the suction pipe 5964, and the presser 593 is stopped from pressing the top of the guide column 5962, and under the elastic force of the elastic reset member 5965, the guide column 5962 drives the support bar 5963 to move upward for reset, so that the cup cover can be sucked up, and when the material is taken, the servo motor 591 can be turned on again to work, and the next suction module 596 is rotated to the specified position, so that the cup cover can be continuously taken;

[0066] As the rotating shaft 592 drives the suction module 596 to rotate continuously as a whole, the sucked cup cover is driven to rotate together. When the cup cover rotates to the top of the round hole on the top of the base plate 52, the air port of the air pump 595 can be used to blow air, so that the cup cover at the bottom of the suction pipe 5964 can fall from the round hole on the top of the base plate 52 to the space surrounded by the limiting rod 56 and be lifted by the receiving fork 57. As the cup cover continues to fall, the cup cover can be gathered in the space surrounded by the limiting rod 56, so that the cup cover is stacked;

[0067] When the cup lids are stacked in the space surrounded by the limiting rod 56, the auxiliary fork 58 can be driven to move upward by the output end of the second linear drive 55, so that the auxiliary fork 58 moves to the position of the bottom end of the limiting rod 56, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 54 is extended to move the receiving fork 57 out of the limiting rod 56, so that the stacked cup lids are transferred to the auxiliary fork 58, and as the output end of the second linear drive 55 drives the auxiliary fork 58 to move downward, the cup lids can be transferred;

[0068] The output end of the stepper motor 72 drives the round roller 71 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the belt 73 can rotate in the opposite direction, so that the support plate 74 and the round rod 76 move the cup cover material toward the position of the turning component 77, so that the cup cover material can be rotated and the overall position of the cup cover material can be changed;

[0069] When the support plate 74 and the round rod 76 move the cup cover material to the right below the support sheet 772, the stepper motor 72 is stopped and the first electric telescopic rod 75 is turned on to work. The cup cover material can be pushed upward by the extension of the extended end of the first electric telescopic rod 75, and under the guidance of the round rod 76, the cup cover material enters the guide rod 774, and the friction between the outer cylindrical surface of the guide rod 774 and the edge of the cup cover material can make the cup cover material be in the space surrounded by the guide rod 774. At this time, the staff turns on the first hydraulic cylinder 64 to work, and the three-claw hook material block 67 can be pushed downward by the extension of the telescopic end of the first hydraulic cylinder 64, so that the three-claw hook material block 67 is at the bottom of the support sheet 772.

[0070] The second electric telescopic rod 776 is turned on to work. The extension of the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 776 can apply a pushing force to the force-bearing tooth 775, which can drive the support sheet 772 to rotate and adjust the angle, so as to facilitate the removal of the cup cover material in the space surrounded by the guide rod 774;

[0071] Moreover, the contraction of the telescopic end of the first hydraulic cylinder 64 can drive the three-claw hook material block 67 to move, and the rectangular block on the top of the three-claw hook material block 67 passes through the circular notch 773, and pulls the transferred cup cover material onto the arc-shaped positioning plate 63, so that it can be initially positioned without being opened for work, and the extension of the telescopic end of the second hydraulic cylinder 65 can push the baffle 66 downward, so that the bottom of the baffle 66 is slightly higher than the edge of the top of the arc-shaped positioning plate 63, so that the cup cover material on the arc-shaped positioning plate 63 can be blocked, so that the cup cover material is not easy to slip off, and through the operation of the conveyor belt on the conveying discharger 62, the cup cover material can be output to the outside, which is convenient for packaging the cup cover material.
