Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of post-processing, and in particular to a force-measuring lid-opening and transfer device and method for post-processing product cups. Background Art

[0002] In the post-processing field, product cups are essential tools. The lids of product cups typically feature a special grooved structure, requiring the opening force to be within a specified range. Therefore, the force required to open and close the lid must be measured in advance. Existing force-measuring devices are complex and expensive, integrating numerous precision sensors and requiring regular maintenance by professionals. This makes them unsuitable for applications requiring convenient operation. Therefore, developing a force-measuring, lid-opening, and transfer device that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and meets testing requirements is of great practical significance.

[0003] This device can simultaneously solve the problem of the inner cup falling off caused by the structural limitations of the traditional vacuum suction cup when carrying inner cup products, and can also realize the transfer of the outer cup of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a force measuring lid opening and transfer device and method for post-processing product cups, so as to solve the problem of difficulty in opening the lid of product cups during post-processing, realize simple and quick completion of the lid opening and closing force test, and at the same time meet the requirements of unsealing the product cup and transferring the product cup.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A force-measuring lid-opening and transfer device for post-processing product cups comprises a force-measuring component, a clamping component, and a locking mechanism;

[0006] The clamping component includes a clamping component handle, a connecting rod, a large arm, a clamping block seat, and a clamping block. The clamping component handle is connected to the large arm through the connecting rod. The lower end of the large arm is hinged to the clamping block seat, and the clamping block is installed in the clamping block seat.

[0007] The force measuring component includes a force measuring component handle, a connecting rod, a limiting connecting rod, a force measuring component, and a cover opener component; the limiting connecting rod is connected to the connecting rod connecting piece, which is located at the lower end of the connecting rod connecting piece, and the lower end of the force measuring component is connected to the cover opener.

[0008] The force measuring component has two handles, two connecting rods and two limiting connecting rods.

[0009] A slot of a certain length is provided on the limiting connecting rod, and the lower end of the connecting rod is inserted into the slot, so that the connecting rod moves up and down in the slot. When the clamping component handle is used to lock the product cup, the clamping component handle will move upward.

[0010] The locking mechanism includes a locking nut, a locking ball, and a device frame, wherein the locking ball is connected to a wedge block. When locking is required, the locking nut is screwed into the external thread on the device frame, so that the wedge block 28 connected to the locking ball moves inward along the inclined surface on the locking nut, thereby pushing the locking ball inward to retract, thereby expanding the angle of the arm.

[0011] The force measuring component includes a connecting rod connector, an indicating sleeve, a spring, a limit sleeve, and a connecting rod with a pointer; the connecting rod connector is hinged to the lower end of the limit connecting rod, the connecting rod connector is tightly connected to the indicating sleeve, the limit sleeve and the connecting rod connector are connected by a spring and a connecting rod with a pointer, there is a pointer on the connecting rod with a pointer, and a vertical long slot is opened on the indicating sleeve, extending from the vertical long slot on the indicating sleeve.

These terms are merely used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, "first" may also be referred to as "second," and similarly, "second" may also be referred to as "first," without departing from the scope of one or more embodiments of the present application.

[0038] The specific technical content of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings;

[0039] The present invention relates to a force-measuring lid-opening and transfer device for a post-processing product cup, comprising a force-measuring component 1, a clamping component 2, and a locking mechanism 3; Figure 1 As shown, the force measuring component 1 is located in front of the clamping component 2; the force measuring component 1 is used to test the force range of opening and closing the cover and to perform the opening and closing operation on the cup cover 27 of the product cup. The clamping component 2 is used to clamp the cup wall. The locking mechanism 3 is a safety mechanism installed during the product process, which is used to lock the clamping mechanism to ensure that the product cup remains clamped during the product process.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, the clamping component 2 includes a clamping component handle 4, a connecting rod 5, a large arm 6, a clamping block seat 7, and a clamping block 8, wherein the clamping component handle 4 is where the operator holds the hand. The clamping component handle 4 is connected to the large arm 6 through the connecting rod 5. The lower end of the large arm is hinged to the clamping block seat 7, and the clamping block 8 is installed in the clamping block seat 7. When the operator pulls up the clamping component handle 4, the large arm 6 will shrink inward, and the clamping block seat 7 will be retracted toward the outer wall of the product cup. The clamping block 8 on the clamping block seat 7 has a certain elasticity and a high friction coefficient, so that it can fit tightly against the outer wall of the product cup, and the clamping block 8 made of elastic material can adapt to the cup wall with a certain curvature. The large arm 6 is X-shaped, fixed by a pin 26 in the middle, and forms a large arm angle;

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the force-measuring component 1 includes two force-measuring component handles 9, two connecting rods 10, two limiting connecting rods 11, a force-measuring component 12, and a lid opener component 13. The limiting connecting rod 11 has a slot of a certain length, into which the lower end of the connecting rod 10 is inserted, allowing the connecting rod 10 to move up and down a certain distance in the slot. When the clamping component handle 4 is used to lock the product cup, the clamping component handle 4 moves upward, and the connecting rod 10 can also move up and down a certain distance, so that the holding component handle 4 and the force-measuring component handle 9 are at the same height, facilitating operation. The force-measuring component 12 is located at the lower end of the limiting connecting rod 11, and the lower end of the force-measuring component 12 is connected to the lid opener 13.

[0042] Slots are provided on both the force-measuring component handles 9 and the clamping component handle 4, allowing the two force-measuring component handles 9 and the clamping component handle 4 to be aligned with each other. That is, in the specific operation steps, alignment is achieved by passing a straight rod through the three slots or by observing the slots during the adjustment of the handle. The slots also serve to reduce weight.

[0043] like Figure 4A As shown in Figure 2B, the locking mechanism 3 includes a locking nut 14, a locking ball 15, and a device frame 16, wherein the device frame 16 is connected to the arm 6 via a pin 26. When the clamping component 2 completes the clamping action, the locking mechanism 3 locks the device through the locking ball 15 and the locking nut 14. The locking ball 15 is connected to a wedge block, and the locking nut 14 is a ring with an internal thread and a wedge surface, and its wedge surface matches the wedge block connected to the locking ball 15. When locking is required, the locking nut 14 is screwed into the external thread on the device frame 16, causing the wedge block connected to the locking ball 15 to move inward along the inclined surface on the locking nut 14, thereby pushing the locking ball 15 inward, thereby expanding the angle of the arm 6 and making the arm 6 clamp the product cup more tightly. The device is locked when the locking nut 14 is screwed into a position where it can no longer move downward. At this point, the threaded connection between the device frame 16 and the locking nut 14 completes the fixation of the locking ball 15. There are multiple round holes on the device frame 16 for weight reduction;

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the force-measuring component 12 includes a connecting rod 20, an indicator sleeve 21, a spring 17, a limit sleeve 19, and a connecting rod with a pointer 18. The force-measuring component 12 measures the lid-opening force by adjusting the deformation of the spring 17. This force is tested to see if it meets the designed range (90-140 Newtons) by measuring the movement of the pointer on the connecting rod with a pointer 18 across the scale on the indicator sleeve 21. The connecting rod 20 is hingedly connected to the lower end of the limit link 11, serving as the source of tension for the force-measuring component 12. The connecting rod connecting piece 20 is tightly connected to the indicating sleeve 21, and no relative movement occurs between the two. The limiting sleeve 19 and the connecting rod connecting piece 20 are connected by a spring 17 and a pointer connecting rod 18. There is a pointer 29 on the pointer connecting rod 18. A vertical long slot is opened on the indicating sleeve 21, extending from the vertical long slot on the indicating sleeve 21. When the spring 17 is pulled, the deformation generated is indicated by the pointer 29 on the pointer connecting rod 18 within the indicating range of the indicating sleeve 21, thereby completing the test of the cover opening force range.

[0045] like Figure 6A As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the cover opener 13 includes a cover opener limiting sleeve 22, a lock tongue 24 and a rotating block 23. The rotating block 23 is cylindrical, and its lower end is connected to the lock tongue 24 through a connecting rod 25. The rotating block 23 moves up and down in the cover opener limiting sleeve 22. A Z-shaped notch is provided on the cover opener limiting sleeve 22. A cylindrical pin is provided on the rotating block 23. The cylindrical pin extends out of the Z-shaped notch. When the cylindrical pin is at the upper part of the Z-shaped notch, the lock tongue 24 is in the cover opener limiting sleeve 22 and is locked by the cover opener limiting sleeve 22. When the cylindrical pin of the rotating block 23 is at the bottom of the Z-shaped notch, the locking tongue 24 extends out of the limiting sleeve 22 of the cover opener and opens, thereby controlling the extension and opening of the locking tongue 24 by the position of the cylindrical pin of the rotating block 23 at the Z-shaped notch; when the locking tongue 24 extends out of the lower end of the limiting sleeve 22 of the cover opener and enters the groove of the product cup cover 27, the locking tongue 24 opens in the groove of the product cup cover 27, thereby locking the product cup cover 27; the locking tongue 23 has two locking tongue flap structures.

[0046] The specific steps of using this simple force measuring device are as follows:

[0047] When the lid of a product cup needs to be opened, the locking tongue 24 on the lid opener 13 is aligned with the groove in the product cup lid 27. The operator grasps the clamping component handle 4 and presses it downward to open the upper arm 6. At this time, the force measuring component handle 9 is controlled to be at the same height as the clamping component handle 4. The lid opener 13 is used to open the locking tongue 24 in the groove in the product cup lid 27. The clamping component handle 4 is pulled upward so that the clamping block 8 on the upper arm 6 is in close contact with the outer wall of the product cup. At this time, the force measuring component handle 9 is controlled to be at the same height as the clamping component handle 4. The clamping mechanism 1 is locked using the locking device 3. Pulling up the force measuring component handle 9 completes the lid opening and lid opening force test.

[0048] To transport the product cup, align the lid opener 13 on the device with the groove in the cup lid 27. Press down on the gripper handle 4 to open the upper arm 6. Use the lid opener 13 to allow the locking tongue 24 to open within the groove in the cup lid 27. Pull up on the gripper handle 4, bringing the clamping block 8 on the upper arm 6 into close contact with the outer wall of the product cup. Use the locking device 3 to lock the clamping mechanism 2. At this point, control the force-measuring gripper 9 to the same height as the gripper handle 4, ensuring product gripping during transport. Once transported to the desired location, press down on the gripper handle 4, releasing the upper arm and closing the locking tongue 24 to remove the device.

[0049] Through the above operations, the simple force measuring device of the present invention can efficiently and safely complete its intended function, meeting the needs of lid opening and closing force testing, product inner cup unsealing lid and product requirements.
