The box body has a cavity, a feed inlet and a discharge outlet. The feed inlet and the discharge outlet are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the box body in the first direction and are both communicated with the cavity. A material passing channel is formed between the feed inlet and the discharge outlet. The separating member is installed in the cavity, extends along the first direction on one side of the material passing channel, and is provided with a single-thread thread on its circumferential side. The single-thread thread is wound around multiple turns to form multiple thread tip grooves in the first direction. The multiple thread tip grooves are used to respectively limit the edges of multiple packages. Wherein, the lead of the single-thread thread gradually increases from the feed inlet to the discharge outlet direction. The separating member rotates along the axis in the first direction to gradually separate adjacent two packages.

[0006] In one embodiment, a plurality of the separating members are provided, and the plurality of separating members surround the circumferential side of the material passing channel.

[0007] In one embodiment, any two of the separating members satisfy: the single-thread threads on the two separating members have the same helix direction, and the rotation directions of the two separating members are set in the same direction; or,

[0008] the single-thread threads on the two separating members have opposite helix directions, and the rotation directions of the two separating members are set in opposite directions.

[0009] In one embodiment, two of the separating members are provided, and the separating mechanism further includes:

[0010] The first gear and the second gear are respectively fixedly arranged at one end of the two separating parts in the first direction;

[0011] The third gear is arranged between the first gear and the second gear and meshes with the first gear and the second gear respectively. An avoidance hole penetrating in the first direction is arranged in the middle of the third gear, and the avoidance hole is correspondingly arranged with the material passing channel.

[0012] The driving motor is installed on the box body and is drivingly connected with one of the first gear and the second gear.

[0013] In an embodiment, the circular area corresponding to the avoidance hole and the circular area corresponding to the cross-section of the separating part at the major diameter of the single-thread are at least partially oppositely arranged in the first direction; and the circular area corresponding to the avoidance hole and the circular area corresponding to the cross-section of the separating part at the minor diameter of the single-thread are staggeredly arranged in the first direction.

[0014] In an embodiment, the cup discharging device further includes a feeding mechanism, and the feeding mechanism includes:

[0015] A placing groove for placing packaging pieces. A blanking port is arranged at the bottom of the placing groove at a position close to one side in the extending direction of the placing groove, and the blanking port is correspondingly arranged with the feeding port;

[0016] A pushing member, at least partially located in the placing groove, and the part of the pushing member located in the placing groove has a moving stroke along the extending direction of the placing groove.

[0017] The present invention also provides a beverage vending machine, which includes: a first cup discharging device and a second cup discharging device. The first cup discharging device includes a cup discharging device for separating the cup body; the second cup discharging device includes a cup discharging device for separating the cup cover.

[0018] Among them, the cup discharging device is used to separately discharge multiple stacked packaging units. The packaging unit includes a cup body and a cup lid. The cup discharging device includes a separating mechanism, and the separating mechanism includes: a box body and a separating member. The box body has a cavity, a feeding port, and a discharging port. The feeding port and the discharging port are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the box body in the first direction and are both communicated with the cavity. A material passing channel is formed between the feeding port and the discharging port. The separating member is installed in the cavity, extends along the first direction on one side of the material passing channel, and has a single-thread screw on its circumferential side. The single-thread screw is wound around multiple turns to form multiple screw thread tip grooves in the first direction. The multiple screw thread tip grooves are used to respectively limit the edges of multiple packaging units. Among them, the lead of the single-thread screw gradually increases from the feeding port to the discharging port direction. The separating member rotates along the axis in the first direction to gradually separate adjacent two packaging units.

[0019] In an embodiment, the second cup discharging device further includes a covering mechanism. The covering mechanism has a pressing part. The pressing part is rotatably arranged along the first direction and has an avoiding position and a working position in the rotation stroke. When the pressing part moves to the avoiding position, the pressing part and the discharging port are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction. When the pressing part moves to the working position, the pressing part and the discharging port are arranged offset in the first direction.

[0020] In an embodiment, the pressing part further has a moving stroke along the first direction to press the cup lid in the first direction.

[0021] In an embodiment, the covering mechanism includes:

[0022] A sleeve, fixedly connected to the box body, having a guiding cavity extending along the first direction. A guiding groove is arranged on the side wall of the sleeve, and the guiding groove is communicated with the guiding cavity.

The rod part extends along the first direction, and one end is located in the guiding cavity and is axially rotatably connected to the pushing part along the first direction. The pressing part is fixedly connected to the other end of the rod part. The matching part is fixedly connected to the rod part and is located in the guiding groove.

[0025] Among them, the guiding groove has a first extending section and a second extending section arranged in sequence from the feeding port towards the discharging port direction. The first extending section extends circumferentially around the sleeve, and the second extending section extends along the first direction.

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention is that when the package enters the feeding channel, the edge position of the package is caught in the thread tip groove. Since the distance between adjacent multi-turn thread tip grooves gradually increases in the moving direction of the package, the technical effect of gradually separating adjacent two packages is achieved.

[0042] These disposable packages (cups and cup lids) are stacked together when leaving the factory. Taking the cup as an example, when manually separating the cups by hand, one hand needs to press the position of the cup mouth of the previous cup, and the other hand needs to pull the latter cup to separate the cups. Therefore, manually separating the cups easily contaminates the cups.

[0043] The present invention provides a cup discharging device.

[0044] Please refer toFigures 2 to 3 , in an embodiment of the present invention, the cup discharging device 100 is used for separately discharging a plurality of stacked packaging members. The packaging member includes a cup body and a cup lid. The cup discharging device 100 includes a separating mechanism 1. The separating mechanism 1 includes: a box body 11 and a separating member 12. The box body 11 has a cavity 111, a feed inlet 112 and a discharge outlet 113. The feed inlet 112 and the discharge outlet 113 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the box body 11 in the first direction and are both communicated with the cavity 111. A material passing channel 114 is formed between the feed inlet 112 and the discharge outlet 113. The separating member 12 is installed in the cavity 111, extends along the first direction on one side of the material passing channel 114, and is provided with a single-thread thread 121 on its circumferential side. The single-thread thread 121 is wound around for multiple turns to form multiple thread tip grooves 122 in the first direction. The multiple thread tip grooves 122 are used for respectively limiting the edges of the plurality of packaging members. Wherein, the lead of the single-thread thread 121 gradually increases from the feed inlet 112 to the discharge outlet 113 direction. The separating member 12 rotates along the axis in the first direction so that two adjacent packaging members are gradually separated.

[0045] In the technical solution of the present invention, a box body 11 is provided, and the box body 11 is provided with a cavity 111, a feed port 112 and a discharge port 113. The feed port 112 and the discharge port 113 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the box body 11 in a first direction (generally, the first direction corresponds to the direction of gravity), and are both connected to the cavity 111. A material transfer channel 114 is formed between the feed port 112 and the discharge port 113. The stacked packages enter the cavity 111 from the feed port 112, and are separated from the cavity 111 from the discharge port 113 after passing through the material transfer channel 114. A separator 12 is provided at a circumferential position of the material transfer channel 114. The separator 12 is used to transport the stacked packages to the discharge port 113, and separate the packages during the transport process. Specifically, a single-line thread 121 is provided on the circumference of the separator 12, and the single-line thread 121 is wound with multiple circles, and a thread tip groove 122 is formed between two adjacent circles of threads. The separator 12 rotates along the axis of the first direction. After the package enters the cavity 111, the side abuts against the end of the separator 12. During the rotation of the separator 12, the side of the package is screwed into the thread tip groove 122. During the rotation of the separator 12, the side of the package moves along the first direction and enters each circle of the thread tip groove 122 in turn. After the stacked packages enter the cavity 111, the sides of the multiple packages enter the multi-turn thread cusp grooves 122 in sequence. Since the lead of the single-thread 121 gradually increases from the feed port 112 to the discharge port 113, that is, the distance between two adjacent thread cusp grooves 122 gradually increases in the direction toward the discharge port 113, the separator 12 rotates to gradually increase the distance between the two adjacent packages, and finally separates the two adjacent packages and falls off from the discharge port 113. In this process, the packages are automatically separated, and manual operation is avoided to contaminate the packages.

[0046] If there is only one separator 12, only one side of the package is stuck in the thread tooth tip groove 122 in the circumferential direction. Due to uneven force, the package will deflect when falling toward the discharge port 113 and may get stuck in the material transfer channel 114. Therefore, in order to make the package bear force evenly, multiple separators 12 are provided, and multiple separators 12 are arranged around the circumference of the material transfer channel 114. The sides of the package are simultaneously stuck in the thread tooth tip grooves 122 of multiple separators 12, and are supported by multiple single-line threads 121, so that multiple places of the package in the circumferential direction can be supported to prevent deflection.

[0047] Since there are multiple separating members 12, the acting effects of different separating members 12 on the packaging member need to be the same, and they all need to drive the packaging member to move in the direction of the discharge port 113. Therefore, the acting effects of any two separating members 12 are the same. Any two of the separating members 12 satisfy: the helix directions of the single-threaded threads 121 on the two separating members 12 are the same, and the rotation directions of the two separating members 12 are set in the same direction; or satisfy: the helix directions of the single-threaded threads 121 on the two separating members 12 are opposite, and the rotation directions of the two separating members 12 are set in the opposite direction.

[0048] In order to make the parts clamped in the thread crest grooves 122 move towards the discharge port 113 simultaneously, multiple separating members 12 need to rotate simultaneously. In one type of embodiment, there are two separating members 12, and the separating mechanism 1 further includes: a first gear 13, a second gear 14, a third gear 15, and a driving motor 16. The first gear 13 and the second gear 14 are respectively fixedly arranged at one ends of the two separating members 12 in the first direction; the third gear 15 is arranged between the first gear 13 and the second gear 14 and meshes with the first gear 13 and the second gear 14 respectively. The third gear 15 serves as a transmission structure to realize the synchronous rotation of the first gear 13 and the second gear 14. A relief hole 151 penetrating in the first direction is arranged in the middle of the third gear 15, and the relief hole 151 is correspondingly arranged with the material passing channel 114 to connect the feed port 112 with the material passing channel 114 and avoid the movement path of the packaging member. The driving motor 16 is installed on the box body 11 and is drivingly connected to one of the first gear 13 and the second gear 14, enabling the other to rotate synchronously. In addition, the number of teeth of the first gear 13 and the second gear 14 is the same, so that the rotation angles of the two separating members 12 are also the same, preventing the displacement distances at some positions on the side of the packaging member from being long and those at some places from being short, causing deflection of the packaging member or even deformation of the packaging member, and ensuring that the packaging member falls from the discharge port 113 in a horizontal state.

[0049] In addition, in order to determine the position when the packaging member contacts the separating member 12, the diameter of the relief hole 151 is equivalent to the diameter of the packaging member, and the relief hole 151 also plays a role in positioning the packaging member. In order to enable the packaging member to smoothly screw into the thread crest groove 122, the circular area corresponding to the relief hole 151 and the circular area corresponding to the cross-section of the separating member 12 at the major diameter of the single-threaded thread 121 are at least partially opposite in the first direction, ensuring that there is a part of the packaging member that can screw into the thread crest groove 122. The circular area corresponding to the relief hole 151 and the circular area corresponding to the cross-section of the separating member 12 at the minor diameter of the single-threaded thread 121 are offset in the first direction, preventing the part of the side of the packaging member that screws into the thread crest groove 122 from being greater than the depth of the thread crest groove 122.

[0050] When a stack of packaging components enters the separation mechanism 1 and is separated, it is necessary to replenish the packaging components to the separation mechanism 1. Therefore, the cup discharging device 100 further includes a feeding mechanism 2. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The feeding mechanism 2 includes: a placement groove 21 and a pushing member 22. A large number of packaging components are placed in the placement groove 21. A blanking port 211 is provided at the bottom of the placement groove 21 near one side in the extending direction of the placement groove 21, and the blanking port 211 is correspondingly arranged with the feeding port 112; at least a part of the pushing member 22 is located in the placement groove 21, and the part of the pushing member 22 located in the placement groove 21 has a moving stroke along the extending direction of the placement groove 21 for pushing the packaging components to the blanking port 211. The packaging components fall from the blanking port 211 to the feeding port 112 and enter the separation mechanism 1 to achieve replenishment of materials.

[0051] The present invention also provides a beverage vending machine 10000. Refer to Figure 5 , the beverage vending machine 10000 includes a first cup discharging device 1000 and a second cup discharging device 2000. Both the first cup discharging device 1000 and the second cup discharging device 2000 include the cup discharging device 100. The specific structure of the cup discharging device 100 refers to the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the beverage vending machine 10000 adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned all embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be elaborated one by one here. Among them, the first cup discharging device 1000 includes the cup discharging device 100, and the first cup discharging device 1000 is used to separate the cup body; the second cup discharging device 2000 includes the cup discharging device 100, and the second cup discharging device 2000 is used to separate the cup lid; the cup discharging device 100 includes a separation mechanism 1, and the separation mechanism 1 includes: a box body 11 and a separating member 12. The box body 11 has a cavity 111, a feeding port 112 and a discharging port 113. The feeding port 112 and the discharging port 113 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the box body 11 in the first direction and are both communicated with the cavity 111. A material passing channel 114 is formed between the feeding port 112 and the discharging port 113; the separating member 12 is installed in the cavity 111, extends along the first direction on one side of the material passing channel 114, and a single-thread thread 121 is arranged on the peripheral side. The single-thread thread 121 is wound around for multiple turns to form multiple thread tip grooves 122 in the first direction. The multiple thread tip grooves 122 are used to respectively limit the edges of multiple packaging components; wherein, the lead of the single-thread thread 121 gradually increases from the feeding port 112 to the discharging port 113 direction, and the separating member 12 rotates along the axis in the first direction to gradually separate adjacent two packaging components.

[0052] In order to enable the cup lid to be pressed after being separated from the cup, so that the cup lid can be fastened to the cup mouth position of the cup body, the second cup discharging device 2000 further includes a covering mechanism 2100. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the covering mechanism 2100 has a pressing part 2123. The pressing part 2123 needs to be in a position opposite to the blanking port 211 in the first direction, so as to press the separated cup lid. If the pressing part 2123 is always opposite to the blanking port 211 in the first direction, it will hinder the dropping of the cup lid. Therefore, the pressing part 2123 needs to be in a position misaligned with the discharging port 113 in the first direction. Specifically, the pressing part 2123 is rotatably arranged along the first direction, and has an avoidance position and a working position in the rotation stroke. When the pressing part 2123 moves to the avoidance position, the pressing part 2123 is arranged opposite to the discharging port 113 in the first direction. When the pressing part 2123 moves to the working position, the pressing part 2123 is arranged misaligned with the discharging port 113 in the first direction. When the cup lid is blanking, the pressing part 2123 is in the avoidance position. After blanking, the pressing part 2123 is in the working position.

[0053] In order to enable the cup lid to be fastened to the cup mouth of the cup body, in the first type of embodiment, the pressing part 2123 further has a moving stroke along the first direction for pressing the cup lid in the first direction. In the second type of embodiment, the pressing part 2123 is provided with an inclined surface for abutting against the upper side of the cup lid obliquely. During the gradual rotation of the pressing part 2123, the inclined surface applies a downward force to the cup lid, thereby fastening the cup lid.

[0054] In the first type of embodiments, the specific implementation manner is as follows: The covering mechanism 2100 includes: a sleeve 2110, a driving cylinder, and a pressing member 2120. The sleeve 2110 is fixedly connected to the box body 11 and has a guiding cavity extending in a first direction. A guiding groove 2111 is provided on the side wall of the sleeve 2110, and the guiding groove 2111 is communicated with the guiding cavity. The pressing member 2120 is inserted into the guiding cavity so that the pressing member 2120 can move in the first direction or rotate around the axis in the first direction. The driving cylinder is fixedly arranged at one end of the sleeve 2110 close to the feeding port 112 and has a pushing end movably arranged in the first direction, and the pushing end is located in the guiding cavity. The pressing member 2120 has a rod portion 2121, a matching portion 2122, and the pressing portion 2123. The rod portion 2121 extends in the first direction, and one end thereof is located in the guiding cavity and is axially rotatably connected to the pushing portion in the first direction. The pressing portion 2123 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rod portion 2121. The matching portion 2122 is fixedly connected to the rod portion 2121 and is located in the guiding groove 2111. Wherein, the guiding groove 2111 has a first extension section 21111 and a second extension section 21112 arranged in sequence from the feeding port 112 towards the discharging port 113. The first extension section 21111 extends circumferentially around the sleeve 2110, and the second extension section 21112 extends along the first direction. The matching portion 2122 moves in the first extension section 21111 to realize the rotation of the pressing member 2120 around the axis in the first direction, so that the pressing portion 2123 switches between a working position and an avoiding position; the matching portion 2122 moves in the second extension section 21112 to move the pressing portion 2123 up and down in the first direction for pressing the cup lid tightly.

[0055] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
