Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ring-shaped suspension conveying technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent suspension conveying system for coffee machine milk cartons. Background Technology
[0002] The intelligent suspended conveyor system for coffee machines' milk cartons is an advanced system that combines automated suspension technology, intelligent control, and conveying devices. It is primarily used in coffee machines for the automated suspended conveying and management of milk cartons during the coffee-making process. Its core function is to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs.
[0003] In existing publicly available literature, patent publication number CN217349433U discloses a milk carton conveying device for a coffee machine. This technology uses a mounting rod to drive a rotating disc, which in turn drives a rotating mounting column. Simultaneously, due to the cooperation between the mounting column and the elongated opening, the mounting column drives two baffles to move towards each other on the outer surface of a limiting rod. These baffles then drive pulleys to contact the milk cartons, facilitating the operator to limit the milk cartons at the top of the conveyor belt and prevent tipping, thus providing convenience for the operator. However, this technology still has the following drawbacks.
[0004] While the intelligent suspended conveyor system for coffee machine milk cartons can automatically deliver milk cartons to the coffee machine, there is an efficiency bottleneck in the milk filling process. The current system requires stopping operation after delivery, and the milk cartons must be manually removed and opened before the milk can be poured into the coffee machine's milk inlet. This process cannot be completed without stopping the conveyor, resulting in operational interruptions and increased time consumption. Furthermore, the need to frequently start and stop the conveyor not only reduces the overall conveying efficiency but also affects the equipment's lifespan. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve accurate milk filling while the coffee machine's milk carton conveyor system is running continuously. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent suspended conveying system for coffee machine milk cartons, comprising a ring conveyor frame, multiple suspension frames, and a wireless controller. The multiple suspension frames are fixed to the outer wall of the ring conveyor frame, and a suspended following conveying assembly is provided below each suspension frame. The suspended following conveying assembly includes a pipe arranged below the suspension frame, with a sliding sleeve plate slidably connected to the outer wall of the pipe. An arc-shaped collection groove is slidably connected to the lower surface of the sliding sleeve plate. A sliding strip is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve plate, and an arc-shaped rail is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding strip. An arc-shaped groove is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding strip. A guide hole is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the suspension frame, and multiple grooves are provided on the inner wall of the pipe.
[0006] Preferably, the arc-shaped rail and the arc-shaped groove are fixedly connected, and the arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped collection groove are fixedly connected; the inner wall of the guide hole is chamfered. A silicone ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drain pipe near the drain groove; a pressure ring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the silicone ring, and a positioning pressure sensor is installed on the lower surface of the pressure ring. A miniature electric cylinder is installed on the lower surface of the positioning pressure sensor. The miniature electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve, and the output end of the miniature electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the sensing end of the positioning pressure sensor; both the miniature electric cylinder and the positioning pressure sensor are electrically connected to the wireless controller; a coffee machine guide pipe is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the arc-shaped collection groove.
[0007] In operation, this technology uses a miniature electric cylinder to move the positioning pressure sensor upwards, which in turn moves the pressure ring upwards, causing the silicone ring to press against the lower surface of the suspension frame. When the pressure value sensed by the positioning pressure sensor matches the pressure value set by the wireless controller, the miniature electric cylinder is deactivated via the wireless controller. Simultaneously, the pressure ring moves the feeding tube upwards, guiding it through the guide hole to the weakest point of the bottom cardboard of the milk carton. The curved titanium-zinc plate provides limiting support to the upper surface of the milk carton, instantly connecting the feeding tube to the milk carton. As the suspension frame continues to rotate and transport, the feeding tube drives the sliding sleeve plate to rotate. The sliding sleeve plate simultaneously moves the sliding sleeve bar to the right along an arc-shaped path. This allows the milk carton to be transported into the feeding tube as it rotates, and the feeding tube moves the milk carton downwards along the inside of the arc-shaped collection groove.
[0008] Preferably, a positioning block is provided on one side of the pipe, and the positioning block is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve plate. A distance sensor is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the arc-shaped collection groove away from the positioning block, and the distance sensor is electrically connected to the wireless controller. A linkage block is provided on the other side of the pipe, and the linkage block is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve plate. A reset rope is fixedly connected to one side of the linkage block. A buffer sleeve plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the reset rope, and the buffer sleeve plate is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped collection groove. A gap is provided between the buffer sleeve plate and the sliding sleeve plate. A sliding sleeve block is fixedly installed at one end of the arc-shaped collection groove, and the sliding sleeve block is slidably connected to the reset rope. A counterweight cone is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the reset rope. The outer wall of the reset rope and the inner wall of the buffer sleeve plate are both smooth surfaces, and the inner wall of the sliding sleeve block is also a smooth surface. The counterweight cone is used to counterbalance the reset rope, and the vertical cross-section of the buffer sleeve plate is rectangular.
[0009] In operation, as the sliding sleeve moves to the right along an arc-shaped path, the positioning block moves closer to the distance sensor. When the distance sensor detects a distance of two centimeters, the wireless controller activates a miniature electric cylinder, causing the positioning pressure sensor to move downwards. This causes the pressure ring to move the pipe downwards, and the pipe no longer contacts the suspension frame. Simultaneously, under the counterweight cone's force, the bottom end of the reset rope moves downwards, sliding along the inner wall of the buffer sleeve. The top of the reset rope then moves the linkage block to the left, causing the sliding sleeve to move to the left along an arc-shaped path along the upper surface of the arc-shaped collection groove. When the sliding sleeve contacts the buffer sleeve, the pipe automatically resets to its initial position under the counterweight cone's force.
[0010] Preferably, a conveyor motor is installed at the top of the annular conveyor frame, and the conveyor motor is electrically connected to the wireless controller; the output end of the conveyor motor is fixedly connected to the annular conveyor frame, a suspension frame is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the conveyor motor, a socket plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the suspension frame, the wireless controller is fixedly located on the upper surface of the socket plate, a positioning sleeve is fixedly installed at one end of the socket plate, and the positioning sleeve is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped collection groove; a proximity sensor is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning sleeve, and a protrusion is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each suspension frame. A linkage electric cylinder is provided on one side of the wireless controller.
[0011] The linkage electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the socket plate, and the output end of the linkage electric cylinder is slidably connected to the socket plate. A rubber column is fixedly connected to the output end of the linkage electric cylinder, and a linkage pressure sensor is installed at the bottom end of the rubber column. A guide cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the linkage pressure sensor. Both the rubber column and the output end of the linkage electric cylinder are slidably connected to the guide cylinder. An arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide cylinder, and the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate is fixedly connected to the linkage pressure sensor. A milk box is inserted into the inner wall of the suspension frame. An arc-shaped guide groove is formed on one side of the inner wall of the milk box, and the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate is slidably connected to the milk box. The cross-sectional shape of the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate is arc-shaped, and the cross-sectional shape of the arc-shaped guide groove is arc-shaped. The lower surface of the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate is a smooth surface, and the inner wall of the arc-shaped guide groove is a smooth surface.
[0012] During operation, the milk carton inside the suspension frame slides along the lower surface of the curved titanium-zinc plate. The output end of the linkage electric cylinder moves downwards along the inner wall of the connecting frame plate. The rubber column drives the linkage pressure sensor downwards, which in turn drives the curved titanium-zinc plate downwards. The curved titanium-zinc plate then presses down along the curved guide groove inside the suspension frame. The curved guide groove on the suspension frame rotates on the curved titanium-zinc plate. When the pressure value sensed by the linkage pressure sensor is the pressure value set by the wireless controller, and this pressure value is less than the sliding friction between the milk carton and the curved titanium-zinc plate, it ensures that while the curved titanium-zinc plate presses the milk carton downwards, it also allows the milk carton to rotate on the smooth lower surface of the curved titanium-zinc plate.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:
[0014] 1. This invention employs a suspended following conveyor assembly. The pipe is guided through the guide hole and inserted into the weak paper section at the bottom of the milk carton. Pressure sensing is achieved through a positioning pressure sensor. As the suspension frame rotates continuously, it drives the pipe to rotate. The sliding sleeve moves to the right along an arc-shaped path on the arc-shaped collection groove. Simultaneously, the sliding sleeve moves to the right along an arc-shaped path along the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove. The pipe moves the milk down along the inside of the arc-shaped collection groove. The milk down is then collected in the arc-shaped collection groove and enters the coffee machine's guide pipe. During the continuous conveying of multiple milk cartons, the milk inside the milk cartons can be suspended and followed to the milk inlet of the coffee machine. This not only improves the overall suspended conveying efficiency but also significantly extends the equipment's lifespan, enabling intelligent and precise milk filling without stopping the milk carton conveying process.
[0015] 2. This invention utilizes an arc-shaped guide groove on the suspension frame that rotates on an arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate. A pressure sensor precisely senses the squeezing force of the rubber column. When the pressure reaches the set value of the wireless controller but is less than the sliding friction between the milk carton and the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate, it ensures downward pressure on the milk carton while allowing it to rotate on the smooth lower surface of the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate. This enables intelligent and rapid, non-stop delivery of the milk within the carton. This design effectively avoids interfering with the normal circular suspension delivery of the milk carton and quickly delivers the milk into the drain pipe, where it is efficiently transported via an arc-shaped collection trough.
[0016] 3. This invention uses a sliding sleeve plate that moves to the right, bringing the positioning block closer to the distance sensor. When the distance sensor detects a value of two centimeters, it indicates that the milk in the milk box is empty. A miniature electric cylinder moves the discharge pipe downwards and detaches it from the suspension frame, enabling non-stop conveying of empty milk boxes. The counterweight cone's gravity drives the reset rope, causing the linkage block to move to the left. This causes the sliding sleeve plate and discharge pipe to move to the left along the arc-shaped collection groove and reset. Furthermore, the sliding sleeve plate automatically returns to its initial position after contacting the buffer sleeve plate, allowing for non-stop following and conveying of other milk boxes. This improves the overall suspension conveying efficiency, and the reset utilizes counterweight force to save energy. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 9 The present invention discloses an intelligent suspended conveying system for coffee machine milk cartons.

This not only improves the overall suspended conveying efficiency but also significantly extends the life of the equipment.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, multiple suspension frames 2 are fixed to the outer wall of the annular conveyor frame 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, a silicone ring 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pipe 3 near the drain 10; a pressure ring 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the silicone ring 11, and a positioning pressure sensor 13 is installed on the lower surface of the pressure ring 12.

Both the miniature electric cylinder 14 and the positioning pressure sensor 13 are electrically connected to the wireless controller 25 so that the miniature electric cylinder 14 can push the positioning pressure sensor 13 upward, and the pressure ring 12 can drive the silicone ring 11 upward. At the same time, the silicone ring 11 is pressed and adhered to the lower surface of the suspension frame 2 for sealing. When the pressure value sensed by the positioning pressure sensor 13 is the same as the pressure value set by the wireless controller 25, the miniature electric cylinder 14 is turned off by the wireless controller 25. The lower surface of the arc-shaped collection tank 5 is fixedly connected to the coffee machine guide tube 15, so that the coffee machine guide tube 15 can be inserted into the milk inlet of the coffee machine to transport the milk inside the arc-shaped collection tank 5 to the milk inlet of the coffee machine.
[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 - Figure 7 As shown, a positioning block 16 is provided on one side of the pipe 3, and the positioning block 16 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve plate 4. A distance sensor 17 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the arc-shaped collection groove 5 at a position away from the positioning block 16, and the distance sensor 17 is electrically connected to the wireless controller 25.
[0032] On the other side of the pipe 3, there is a linkage block 18, which is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve plate 4. A reset rope 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the linkage block 18. A buffer sleeve plate 20 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the reset rope 19, and the buffer sleeve plate 20 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped collection groove 5. There is a gap between the buffer sleeve plate 20 and the sliding sleeve plate 4. A sliding sleeve block 21 is fixedly installed at one end of the arc-shaped collection groove 5, and the sliding sleeve block 21 is slidably connected to the reset rope 19. A counterweight cone 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the reset rope 19. The outer wall of the reset rope 19 and the inner wall of the buffer sleeve plate 20 are both smooth surfaces, and the inner wall of the sliding sleeve block 21 is also smooth. The counterweight cone 22 is used to counterbalance the reset rope 19, and the vertical cross-section of the buffer sleeve plate 20 is rectangular.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 8As shown, a conveyor motor 23 is installed at the top of the annular conveyor frame 1. The conveyor motor 23 is electrically connected to the wireless controller 25. The output end of the conveyor motor 23 is fixedly connected to the annular conveyor frame 1. A suspension frame 24 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the conveyor motor 23. A socket plate 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the suspension frame 24. The wireless controller 25 is fixedly located on the upper surface of the socket plate 26. A positioning sleeve 27 is fixedly installed at one end of the socket plate 26. The positioning sleeve 27 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped collection groove 5. A proximity sensor 28 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 27. A protrusion 29 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each suspension frame 2.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 - Figure 9 As shown, a linkage cylinder 30 is provided on one side of the wireless controller 25; the linkage cylinder 30 is fixedly connected to the socket plate 26, the output end of the linkage cylinder 30 is slidably connected to the socket plate 26, a rubber column 31 is fixedly connected to the output end of the linkage cylinder 30, and a linkage pressure sensor 32 is installed at the bottom end of the rubber column 31, and a guide cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the linkage pressure sensor 32.
[0035] The output ends of the rubber column 31 and the linkage electric cylinder 30 are slidably connected to the guide cylinder 33. An arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide cylinder 33, and the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34 is fixedly connected to the linkage pressure sensor 32. A milk box 36 is inserted into the inner wall of the suspension frame 2. An arc-shaped guide groove 35 is formed on one side of the inner wall of the milk box 36, and the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34 is slidably connected to the milk box 36. The cross-sectional shape of the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34 is arc-shaped, and the cross-sectional shape of the arc-shaped guide groove 35 is arc-shaped. The lower surface of the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34 is smooth, and the inner wall of the arc-shaped guide groove 35 is smooth.
[0036] The method of using the intelligent suspended conveyor system for coffee machine milk cartons of the present invention is as follows:
[0037] Step 1: During installation and connection, suspend the top of the suspension bracket 24 from the indoor ceiling. Insert expansion bolts into the holes at the top of the suspension bracket 24 to secure it. The suspension bracket 24 supports the conveyor motor 23 and also supports the connecting plate 26. The connecting plate 26 supports the positioning sleeve 27, which in turn supports the arc-shaped collection groove 5, increasing its stability. Simultaneously, insert multiple milk cartons 36 into the multiple suspension frames 2 for placement, and then insert the coffee machine's guide tube 15 into the milk inlet of the coffee machine.
[0038] Step 2: During the circular suspension conveying process, the wireless controller 25 starts the conveyor motor 23, which drives the circular conveyor frame 1 to rotate. The circular conveyor frame 1 drives multiple suspension frames 2 to rotate, and the suspension frames 2 drive the milk box 36 to rotate. The milk box 36 is located on the lower surface of the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34. At the same time, the suspension frames 2 drive the protrusion 29 to rotate, and the protrusion 29 is located at the sensing end of the proximity sensor 28.
[0039] Step 3: During the suspended conveyor transport, when the protrusion 29 is located at the sensing end of the proximity sensor 28, the micro electric cylinder 14 is simultaneously activated by the wireless controller 25. The micro electric cylinder 14 pushes the positioning pressure sensor 13 upward, which in turn drives the pressure ring 12 upward. The pressure ring 12 then drives the silicone ring 11 upward, simultaneously pressing and adhering it to the lower surface of the suspension frame 2. Pressure is sensed by the positioning pressure sensor 13. When the pressure value sensed by the positioning pressure sensor 13 matches the pressure value set by the wireless controller 25, the micro electric cylinder 14 is deactivated by the wireless controller 25. Simultaneously, the pressure ring 12 drives the tube 3 upward. The tube 3 is guided along the guide hole 9 and inserted into the weak paper section at the bottom of the milk box 36. At the same time, the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34 provides limiting support to the upper surface of the milk box 36. This allows the tube 3 to be stably inserted into the milk box 36, thus establishing communication between the tube 3 and the milk box 36.
[0040] As the suspension frame 2 continues to rotate and convey, the suspension frame 2 drives the pipe 3 to rotate, and the pipe 3 drives the sliding sleeve 4 to rotate. The sliding sleeve 4 moves to the right along the arc-shaped collection groove 5 in an arc-shaped path. At the same time, the sliding sleeve 4 drives the sliding sleeve 6 to move to the right along the arc-shaped path. The sliding sleeve 6 moves to the right along the outer wall of the arc-shaped rail 7 in an arc-shaped path, and at the same time, the sliding sleeve 6 moves to the right along the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 8 in an arc-shaped path. In this way, when the milk box 36 rotates, it can convey the milk into the pipe 3. The pipe 3 moves the milk down along the inside of the arc-shaped collection groove 5. The milk down is carried by the arc-shaped collection groove 5 and enters the coffee machine guide pipe 15. The coffee machine guide pipe 15 directly conveys the milk into the coffee machine milk inlet. At the same time, the sliding sleeve 4 drives the linkage block 18 to move to the right, the linkage block 18 drives the reset rope 19 to move to the right, the reset rope 19 slides to the right along the inner wall of the buffer sleeve 20, and the reset rope 19 simultaneously slides to the right along the inner wall of the buffer sleeve 20, and the reset rope 19 drives the counterweight cone 22 to move upward.
[0041] Step 4: During constant pressure delivery, the milk box 36 inside the suspension frame 2 slides along the lower surface of the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34. The linkage electric cylinder 30 is activated by the wireless controller 25. The output end of the linkage electric cylinder 30 moves down along the inner wall of the sleeve plate 26. The output end of the linkage electric cylinder 30 drives the rubber column 31 to move down. The rubber column 31 drives the linkage pressure sensor 32 to move down. The linkage pressure sensor 32 drives the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34 to move down. In this way, the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34 will be pressed down along the arc-shaped guide groove 35 inside the suspension frame 2.
[0042] Meanwhile, the arc-shaped guide groove 35 on the suspension frame 2 will rotate on the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34. The pressure sensor 32 senses the squeezing force of the rubber column 31. When the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor 32 is the pressure value set by the wireless controller 25, and the pressure value is less than the sliding friction between the milk box 36 and the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34, it can be ensured that while the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34 is squeezing the milk box 36 downward, the milk box 36 can also rotate on the smooth surface of the lower surface of the arc-shaped titanium-zinc plate 34. This will not affect the normal circular rotation and conveying of the milk box 36. The milk inside the milk box 36 can be quickly conveyed to the drain pipe 3 during the non-stop conveying process, and then quickly conveyed to the arc-shaped collection tank 5 through the drain pipe 3.
[0043] Step 5: During the repositioning process, as the sliding sleeve 4 moves to the right along an arc path, the positioning block 16 also moves to the right along an arc path. The positioning block 16 moves closer to the distance sensor 17. When the distance sensor 17 senses a distance of two centimeters, the drain pipe 3 moves with the milk box 36 to the end position, indicating that the milk inside the milk box 36 has been completely drained. At this point, the wireless controller 25 activates the micro electric cylinder 14 to drive the positioning pressure sensor 13 to move down. The positioning pressure sensor 13 drives the pressure ring 12 to move down, and the pressure ring 12 drives the drain pipe 3 to move down. The drain pipe 3 no longer contacts the suspension frame 2, so the suspension frame 2 can transport the used milk box without stopping the machine.
[0044] Simultaneously, under the counterweight force of the counterweight cone 22, the bottom end of the reset rope 19 moves downward, and the reset rope 19 slides along the inner wall of the sliding sleeve block 21, and at the same time slides along the inner wall of the buffer sleeve plate 20. The top end of the reset rope 19 drives the linkage block 18 to move to the left, and the linkage block 18 drives the sliding sleeve plate 4 to move to the left along an arc path to reset. The sliding sleeve plate 4 moves to the left along an arc path along the upper surface of the arc-shaped collection groove 5 to reset, and the sliding sleeve plate 4 drives the drain pipe 3 to move to the left along an arc path to reset. When the sliding sleeve plate 4 contacts the buffer sleeve plate 20, the drain pipe 3 automatically resets to its initial position under the counterweight force of the counterweight cone 22. In this way, the drain pipe 3 continues to continuously transport the milk inside the other milk boxes 36 without stopping.
