Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of egg tart production, and in particular to a cup supply device for egg tart production. Background Art

[0002] Egg tarts are composed of two core components: the outer layer of pastry and the inner egg filling, creating a distinct contrast in texture. During the production and baking process, the tart crust relies primarily on a tinfoil cup as a support mold. During the egg tart production process, the tinfoil cup needs to be placed in a designated position to hold the ingredients and allow for subsequent processing.

[0003] The patent document with announcement number CN221563659U discloses a cup supply device for an egg tart production line, including a conveyor belt, the bottom surface of which is fixedly provided with support legs, the number of which is four and evenly distributed around the bottom surface of the conveyor belt, the top surface of the right end of the conveyor belt is fixedly provided with a conveying mechanism, and the top surface of the left end of the conveyor belt is fixedly provided with a cup supply mechanism; the conveying mechanism includes a conveying part and a control part, and the inner wall of the conveying part is fixedly connected to the side surface of the control part; the conveying part includes a device block, and the top surface of the right end of the conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the device block.

[0004] By providing a cup feeding mechanism and cooperating with a motor and a threaded rod, when the egg tart tin paper cup is placed inside the cup feeding tube and the cup needs to be fed, the connecting plate drives the extrusion block to move downward, so that the tin paper cup can squeeze the clamping ring until the bottom tin paper cup is separated from the arch cup tube and then enters the conveying part for the cup feeding operation.

[0005] However, this solution still has the following problems: the downward movement of the extrusion plate drives the tin foil cup to squeeze the retaining ring, thereby separating the tin foil cup from the arched cup tube. However, when squeezing the retaining ring, the edge of the tin foil cup is easily deformed, affecting subsequent production. In order to facilitate the tin foil cup to squeeze the retaining ring, the inner diameter of the arched cup tube needs to be set to match the outer diameter of the tin foil cup. However, this makes it difficult to stack the tin foil cups in the arched cup tube. Alternatively, when the tin foil cups are placed, the sides of the tin foil cups are easily in contact with the side walls of the arched cup tube, causing the tin foil cups to tilt, affecting the subsequent separation operation of the tin foil cups. In this case, the tin foil cups are more likely to deform. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention provides a cup supply device for egg tart production, aiming to solve the problem in the related art that tin foil cups are easily deformed when separated from arched cup tubes, thereby affecting subsequent processing.

[0007] The cup supply device for egg tart production of the present invention comprises a frame and a mechanical arm, wherein the mechanical arm is provided with a suction cup for transferring tin foil cups, and the frame is provided with a placing component, a pushing component, and an adjusting component; The placement assembly is rotatably mounted on the frame, and includes: a mounting plate, a plurality of placement racks circumferentially arranged around the mounting plate, the placement racks including a plurality of placement rods circumferentially arranged and used to place the tin foil cups; the placement rods including: a rotating rod rotatably engaged with the mounting plate, and a stop rod connected to the rotating rod, the rotating rod and the stop rod being spaced apart, and the stop rod being located inside the rotating rod; The adjustment assembly is connected to the rotating rod to drive the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod rotates and adjusts the distance between the multiple baffles at the same time. When the distance between the baffles increases, it is in the loading position, and when it decreases, it is in the supporting position. The pushing component is located under the placement rack and is used to push the tinfoil cup upward to the suction cup. When the placement rack is close to the pushing component, the baffle is in the supporting position. When the placement rack is away from the pushing component, the baffle is in the loading position.

[0008] The effect is that the mounting plate rotates on the frame, driving the placement rack to rotate. Tin foil cups are stacked in each placement rack. When loading, the pushing component pushes the stacked tin foil cups in the placement rack upward, and then the robotic arm drives the suction cup to move to the top tin foil cup, absorbs the tin foil cup, and transfers the tin foil cup to the designated position for cup feeding. After the tin foil cup at this position is used, the mounting plate rotates, and the adjustment component cooperates with the rotating rod. When the mounting plate rotates and drives the rotating rod to the loading position, the distance between the baffles increases, that is, the radius of the arc where the multiple baffles are located increases, so that the stacked tin foil cups can be placed between the baffles at the loading position. When the mounting plate rotates again, it drives the baffles to rotate to the support position. The distance between the baffles gradually decreases and approaches the tin foil cup, supporting the tin foil cup and keeping it in a vertical state. By setting the baffle rod to include a supporting position and a loading position, the distance between the baffle rods is reduced in the supporting position, and the distance between the baffle rods is increased in the loading position, so that the tin foil cup can be placed between the baffle rods. After the tin foil cup is placed, the baffle rod can be reset to limit the tin foil cup to avoid deformation of the tin foil cup. In the process of resetting the baffle rod, the tin foil cup can be corrected so that it is neatly arranged in the vertical direction so that the suction cup can transfer it, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, a mounting ring connected to the rotating rod is provided on the mounting plate, and the adjusting assembly includes an adjusting plate, an adjusting rod, an adjusting ring, and an adjusting gear. The adjusting ring is rotatably set on the mounting ring, and the adjusting gear is coaxially set on the rotating rod. The adjusting rod is slidably assembled on the mounting plate and rotates with the mounting plate. A rack is provided on the side of the adjusting rod, and tooth grooves meshing with the adjusting gear and the rack are provided on the inner and outer sides of the adjusting ring. An adjusting groove is provided on the adjusting plate, and the end of the adjusting rod cooperates with the adjusting groove. The adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the frame, and different positions in the adjusting groove cooperate with the adjusting rod to drive the adjusting rod to slide.

[0010] The effect is that the rotation of the mounting plate drives the adjusting rod to rotate accordingly, and at the same time the adjusting rod rotates relative to the adjusting plate. The adjusting rod rotates and its end portion cooperates with different positions in the adjusting slot, so that the adjusting rod slides relative to the mounting plate while rotating with the mounting plate. The sliding of the adjusting rod drives the adjusting ring to rotate through the rack, and the rotation of the adjusting ring drives the rotating rod to rotate through the gear, thereby driving the stop rod to rotate and adjusting the position of the stop rod.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment groove includes: a supporting part corresponding to the supporting position, a loading part corresponding to the loading position, the supporting part is connected to the loading part, the supporting part is arranged in an arc shape around the rotation axis of the mounting plate, and the distance between the loading part and the center of the mounting plate is greater than the distance between the supporting part and the center of the mounting plate.

[0012] The effect is that when the adjusting rod rotates with the mounting plate, its end slides inside the support part and the feeding part, and the position of each point on the support part is the same as the center of the mounting plate. That is, when the end of the adjusting rod slides inside the support part, the adjusting rod remains stationary, and the distance between each point on the feeding part and the center of the mounting plate gradually decreases. When the adjusting rod slides inside the feeding part, the adjusting rod will move closer to or away from the center of the mounting plate under the action of the feeding part to achieve the adjustment of the adjusting rod. Then, the distance of the blocking rod under the support position can be adjusted to accommodate tin foil cups of different specifications. Preferably, the adjusting rod includes two connecting rods 1 and 2 arranged parallel to each other, connecting rod 1 cooperates with the adjusting slot, the rack is arranged on connecting rod 2, and connecting rod 1 and connecting rod 2 are each provided with an intermediate block at one end close to each other, a vertical slot is provided on the intermediate block on connecting rod 1, and an inclined slot is provided on the intermediate block on connecting rod 2. A control assembly is provided on the mounting plate, and an intermediate rod located between the two intermediate blocks is provided on the control assembly. The control assembly is connected to the intermediate rod to adjust the position of the intermediate rod, and sliders are provided on both sides of the intermediate rod, which cooperate with the vertical slot and the inclined slot respectively.

[0013] The effect is that the control assembly adjusts the position of the intermediate rod, causing it to move vertically. As the intermediate rod moves, the slider in the vertical slot also moves vertically, while Link 1 remains stationary. The slider in the inclined slot, in conjunction with a different position within the inclined slot, drives Link 2 to move relative to Link 1, thereby adjusting the length of the adjustment rod. Furthermore, as Link 1 moves, Link 2 can be driven synchronously by the slider and the intermediate rod to adjust the position of the barrier rod.

[0014] Preferably, the control assembly includes a control plate, a control frame, and a screw rod, wherein the screw rod is rotationally matched with the mounting plate, the control plate is connected to the intermediate rod, and the control frame is connected to the control plate and is threadably matched with the screw rod.

[0015] The effect is that the screw is rotated, the screw drives the control plate to move, the movement of the control plate drives the intermediate rod to move, and then the position of the intermediate rod is adjusted.

[0016] Preferably, a clearance groove is provided on the control panel along the length direction of the adjustment rod, and the middle rod is slidably clamped in the clearance groove.

[0017] The effect is that the intermediate rod slides in the give way groove, so that the intermediate rod can move synchronously with the connecting rod one and the connecting rod two, and under the restriction of the control board, the intermediate rod will not be displaced in the vertical direction when moving, thereby preventing the connecting rod one and the connecting rod from being displaced relative to each other after the length of the adjusting rod is adjusted, thereby maintaining its stability.

[0018] Preferably, a plurality of paving grooves are provided on the circumferential direction of the control panel, and the plurality of paving grooves are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of adjustment rods.

[0019] The effect is that the control panel cooperates with multiple intermediate rods at the same time through multiple give way slots. When the control panel moves, the positions of the multiple intermediate rods are adjusted at the same time, so that the multiple blocking rods move synchronously and the moving distance is the same, so as to ensure that the distance between each blocking rod and the tin foil cup is the same, so that the tin foil cup is evenly stressed when supporting the tin foil cup.

[0020] Preferably, an opening is provided on the side of the mounting ring, and the pushing assembly includes a push plate slidably assembled on the frame, the push plate corresponds to the opening of the mounting ring, and a driving member connected to the push plate and driving the push plate to move up and down is provided on the frame, and the push plate abuts against the lowest tin foil cup to push the tin foil cup upward.

[0021] The effect is that when the push plate moves upward, it abuts against the tin foil cup at the bottom, drives the tin foil cup upward, and pushes the tin foil cup to the robotic arm for loading.

[0022] Preferably, a support plate is provided on the mounting plate, the support plate is located at the bottom of the placement rod, the support plate is used to support the tin foil cup, a through slot is provided on the support plate, and the push plate moves to the top of the support plate through the through slot.

[0023] The effect is that after the tinfoil cup is placed between the baffles, the tinfoil cup at the bottom is supported by the support plate, and the push plate can be moved to the top of the support plate through the through slot, passing through the support plate, driving the tinfoil cup to move upward.

[0024] Preferably, each rotating rod is provided with an adjusting gear, and the tooth grooves on the inner side of the adjusting ring are engaged with multiple adjusting gears at the same time.

[0025] The effect is that the adjustment ring is engaged with multiple adjustment gears at the same time. When the adjustment ring rotates, the multiple adjustment gears are driven to rotate at the same time, thereby adjusting the positions of multiple shift rods at the same time.

[0026] Beneficial effects: 1. The present invention sets two working stations, including a supporting position and a loading position. The distances between the baffles at the supporting position and the loading position are different. The distance between the baffles is the smallest in the supporting position, and the tin foil cup is supported at this time so that the tin foil cup is in a vertical state. The distance between the baffles is the largest in the loading position. At this time, the inner diameter of multiple baffles is larger than the outer diameter of the tin foil cup, so that the tin foil cup can be placed between the baffles. When the mounting plate drives the baffles to rotate to the specified position, the baffles can be switched to the supporting position and the loading position respectively. At the same time, when the tin foil cup is placed, the distance between the baffles is the largest, which can reduce the damage of the tin foil cup due to squeezing and improve the processing efficiency.

[0027] 2. The adjusting rod includes connecting rod one and connecting rod two, and an intermediate block is set on the two, and an intermediate rod is set between the two intermediate blocks. The length of the adjusting rod, that is, the distance between the two ends of the adjusting rod can be adjusted by moving the intermediate rod, and when the adjusting rod moves, the intermediate rod will move accordingly, so that after the adjustment is completed, the length of the adjusting rod remains unchanged during the movement. By adjusting the length of the adjusting rod, the distance between the lower baffles of the support position can be adjusted, so as to facilitate adaptive adjustment according to tin foil cups of different specifications, so as to place different tin foil cups and improve processing efficiency.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the cup supply device for egg tart production of the present invention includes a frame 1, a robotic arm 2, a placement component 3, a pushing component 4, and an adjusting component 5. The robotic arm 2 is arranged on the frame 1, and a suction cup (not shown in the figure) is provided on the robotic arm 2. The placement component 3 is arranged on one side of the robotic arm 2. The placement component 3 is used to place a tin foil cup. The adjusting component 5 cooperates with the placement component 3 to assist in placing the tin foil cup in the placement component 3. The pushing component 4 is used to push the tin foil cup on the placement component 3 upward to the robotic arm 2, and then the robotic arm 2 transfers the tin foil cup through the suction cup to place the tin foil cup at a designated position for subsequent processing.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3The placement assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 6 and a placement rack 7. The mounting plate 6 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The placement racks 7 are mounted on the mounting plate 6 and arranged in multiple groups circumferentially around the mounting plate 6. The placement racks 7 include multiple placement rods 71. Each group of placement racks 7 is circumferentially arranged to accommodate the tin foil cups. The placement rods 71 ​​are arranged vertically, and the tin foil cups are stacked vertically between the placement rods 71.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 Two mounting plates 6 are provided, one above the other, with a mounting sleeve 61 positioned between them. A power member 11 is provided on the frame 1. This power member 11 is configured as a motor, and a power gear 12 is provided at the output end of the power member 11. A ring gear 13 is provided on the lower mounting plate 6. The ring gear 13 is coaxially disposed with the mounting plate 6, and the power gear 12 meshes with the ring gear 13. A mounting rod 14 is provided on the frame 1. The mounting rod 14 is vertically disposed and welded to the frame 1. The mounting plate 6 and the mounting rod 14 are rotatably engaged.

[0046] The power part 11 drives the mounting plate 6 to rotate through the power gear 12 and the ring gear 13. Tin foil cups are placed in each group of placement racks 7. The mounting plate 6 rotates to drive multiple groups of placement racks 7 to rotate. After the tin foil cups in the placement racks 7 are used up, the rotation drives another placement rack 7 to correspond to the pushing component 4 to feed again.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 The placement rod 71 includes a rotating rod 711 and a blocking rod 712. The rotating rod 711 is rotatably engaged with the mounting plate 6. A connecting rod 713 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 711. The connecting rod 713 is connected to the end of the blocking rod 712. That is, the rotating rod 711 and the blocking rod 712 are connected by the connecting rod 713. The multiple blocking rods 712 in each group of placement racks 7 are located inside the multiple rotating rods 711. The adjustment assembly 5 is connected to the rotating rod 711 to drive the rotating rod 711 to rotate.

[0048] When the adjustment assembly 5 rotates the rotating rod 711, the rotating rod 711 also rotates the baffles 712, thereby adjusting the distance between the baffles 712. When the distance between the baffles 712 increases, the baffles 712 are in the loading position, because the distance between the baffles 712 is now larger, making it easier to place a tin foil cup between the baffles 712. When the distance between the baffles 712 decreases, the baffles 712 are in the supporting position. After a tin foil cup is placed between the baffles 712, the distance between the baffles 712 decreases until the baffles 712 abut against the side of the tin foil cup, supporting the cup and keeping it in an upright position.

[0049] The inner diameter of the baffle 712 in the supporting position is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the tinfoil cup. This allows the baffle 712 to support the tinfoil cup while preventing it from interfering with the movement of the tinfoil cup by the push assembly 4. A connecting rod 713 is also provided to rotatably engage with the baffle 712, and a torsion spring (not shown) is provided at the junction of the connecting rod 713 and the baffle 712. When the rotating rod 711 rotates, the torsion spring drives the connecting rod 713 and the baffle 712 to rotate. This allows the baffle 712 and the rotating rod 711 to rotate asynchronously, preventing hard contact between the baffle 712 and the tinfoil cup and reducing damage to the tinfoil cup.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 5 When the baffle 712 rotates to the pushing assembly 4, the baffle 712 is in the supporting position. When the baffle 712 moves away from the pushing assembly 4, the baffle 712 opens and is in the loading position, so that the tin paper cup can be placed between the baffles 712 later.

[0051] A plurality of mounting openings 611 are circumferentially provided on the side surface of the mounting plate 6 . The plurality of mounting openings 611 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of placement racks 7 . A mounting ring 62 is provided in the mounting opening 611 , and the rotating rod 711 is mounted on the mounting ring 62 .

[0052] Reference Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The adjustment assembly 5 includes an adjustment plate 51, an adjustment rod 52, an adjustment ring 53, and an adjustment gear 54. The adjustment ring 53 is rotatably mounted on the mounting ring 62. The adjustment gear 54 is coaxially mounted on the rotating rod 711. The adjustment rod 52 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 6, that is, the adjustment rod 52 can rotate with the mounting plate 6 and slide toward the axis of the mounting plate 6. A rack 521 is provided on the side of the adjustment rod 52. The adjustment ring 53 is disposed between the adjustment gear 54 and the rack 521. Tooth grooves 531 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the adjustment ring 53. The adjustment gear 54 and the rack 521 both mesh with the tooth grooves 531. An adjustment slot 511 is provided on the adjustment plate 51. The end of the adjustment rod 52 engages with the adjustment slot 511. The adjustment plate 51 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 via the mounting rod 14.

[0053] When the mounting plate 6 rotates, the adjusting rod 52 is driven to rotate around the adjusting plate 51. At the same time, the end of the adjusting rod 52 cooperates with different positions in the adjusting slot 511 to drive the adjusting rod 52 to move relative to the mounting plate 6. When the adjusting rod 52 moves, the adjusting ring 53 and the adjusting gear 54 are driven to rotate through the rack 521. The rotation of the adjusting gear 54 drives the rotating rod 711 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 711 drives the baffle rod 712 to rotate accordingly, thereby adjusting the distance between the two adjacent baffle rods 712.

[0054] Reference Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 10 An adjusting gear 54 is provided on each rotating rod 711, and multiple adjusting gears 54 are engaged with the adjusting ring 53 at the same time. When the adjusting ring 53 rotates, the multiple adjusting gears 54 are driven to rotate at the same time, and then the multiple rotating rods 711 are driven to rotate at the same time, so that the multiple blocking rods 712 move synchronously.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 、 Figure 9 The adjustment slot 511 includes a support portion 512 and a feeding portion 513. The support portion 512 corresponds to the support position of the stopper 712, and the feeding portion 513 corresponds to the feeding position of the stopper 712. Both the support portion 512 and the feeding portion 513 are arc-shaped. The support portion 512 is coaxial with the axis of the mounting plate 6. The feeding portion 513 is connected to the support portion 512. The diameter of the feeding portion 513 is larger than the diameter of the support portion 512, and the distance between the feeding portion 513 and the center of the mounting plate 6 is larger than the distance between the support portion 512 and the center of the mounting plate 6. A clamping block 522 is provided on the adjustment rod 52 to slidably engage with the support portion 512 and the feeding portion 513.

[0056] When the mounting plate 6 rotates, the adjustment plate 51 remains stationary, and the clamping block 522 slides within the support portion 512 and the loading portion 513. When the clamping block 522 is within the support portion 512, the distance between the blocking rods 712 is minimized. When the clamping block 522 moves into the loading portion 513, it drives the adjustment rod 52 toward the center of the mounting plate 6 and simultaneously drives the rotating rod 711 to rotate. At this point, the distance between the blocking rods 712 is adjusted to the maximum, allowing the tin foil cup to be placed between the blocking rods 712 for loading.

[0057] Reference Figure 7 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 The adjusting rod 52 includes: a connecting rod 1 523 and a connecting rod 2 524. The connecting rod 1 523 and the connecting rod 2 524 are parallel to each other. The connecting rod 1 523 cooperates with the adjusting slot 511. The connecting rod 1 523 cooperates with the adjusting slot 511. The rack 521 is set on the connecting rod 2 524. The connecting rod 1 523 and the connecting rod 2 524 are close to each other. An intermediate block 8 is provided at one end. A vertical slot 81 is provided on the intermediate block 8 on the connecting rod 1 523. An inclined slot 82 is provided on the intermediate block 8 on the connecting rod 2 524. An intermediate rod 83 is provided between the two intermediate blocks 8 for sliding up and down. Slide blocks 84 are provided on both sides of the intermediate rod 83. The slide blocks 84 slide with the vertical slot 81 and the inclined slot 82 respectively.

[0058] Reference Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13A control assembly 9 is provided on the mounting plate 6 and is connected to the intermediate rod 83 to adjust its position. When the intermediate rod 83 moves vertically, the slider 84 moves within the vertical slot 81, while the first connecting rod 523 remains stationary. The slider 84 moves within the inclined slot 82, abutting against different positions within the inclined slot 82, driving the second connecting rod 524 to move relative to the first connecting rod 523, thereby adjusting the length of the adjustment rod 52. Furthermore, the distance between the stopper 712 and the support position is adjusted to support tin foil cups of different diameters, facilitating adjustment of tin foil cups of different sizes.

[0059] The control assembly 9 includes: a control board 91, a control frame 92, and a screw 93. The screw 93 is rotationally matched with the mounting plate 6. The control board 91 is matched with the screw 93 through the control frame 92, and the screw 93 is threadedly matched with the control frame 92. The control board 91 is connected to the intermediate rod 83.

[0060] A fixing nut 931 is threadedly engaged with the screw rod 93. Rotating the screw rod 93 causes the control plate 91 to move via the control frame 92, which in turn causes the intermediate rod 83 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the intermediate rod 83. The fixing nut 931 is then rotated to abut against the side of the control frame 92, thereby fixing the position of the control frame 92 and the intermediate rod 83.

[0061] Reference Figure 13 A clearance groove 911 is provided on the control plate 91. The intermediate rod 83 slides in the clearance groove 911. That is, when the connecting rod 1 523 and the connecting rod 2 524 slide, the intermediate rod 83 moves accordingly. This reduces the phenomenon of the control plate 91 interfering with the movement of the intermediate rod 83. In other words, the control plate 91 only adjusts the vertical position of the intermediate rod 83 and does not affect the movement of the intermediate rod 83 with the connecting rod 1 523. There are multiple clearance grooves 911, and the multiple clearance grooves 911 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple adjustment rods 52. When the control rod moves, the position of the intermediate rod 83 is adjusted simultaneously, and then the length of the multiple adjustment rods 52 is adjusted simultaneously.

[0062] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The pushing assembly 4 includes a push plate 41 that is slidably mounted on the frame 1. A driving member (not shown in the figure) is provided on the frame 1 and is connected to the push plate 41 and drives the push plate 41 to move up and down. The driving member can be set as a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the push plate 41 to drive the push plate 41 to move up and down. The push plate 41 contacts the tin foil cup at the bottom. When the push plate 41 moves upward, it drives the tin foil cup upward. The side of the mounting ring 62 is provided with an opening, and the adjusting ring 53 is also provided with an opening. The opening of the adjusting ring 53 is larger than the opening of the mounting ring 62, so that the adjusting ring 53 can rotate relative to the mounting ring 62. The opening of the mounting ring 62 is arranged away from the center of the mounting plate 6, so that the push plate 41 can move upward through the opening of the mounting ring 62, thereby pushing the tinfoil cup upward.

[0063] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 In addition, a support plate 63 is provided on the bottom mounting plate 6. The support plate 63 is located at the bottom of the placement rod 71 and is used to support the tin foil cup. A through slot 631 is provided on the support plate 63, and the through slot 631 corresponds to the push plate 41. The push plate 41 can move up and down through the support plate 63 through the through slot 631. In the initial state, the push plate 41 is located below the support plate 63. When loading is required, the push plate 41 moves upward, abuts against the bottom of the tin foil cup through the through slot 631, and pushes the tin foil cup upward. After loading is completed, the push plate 41 moves downward to the bottom of the support plate 63 and returns to its initial position. This allows for the next feeding and reduces the interference of the push plate 41 with the rotation of the mounting plate 6.

[0064] The implementation principle of the present invention is as follows: In the initial state, stacked tin foil cups are placed vertically in multiple groups of placement racks 7, with the push plate 41 located below the mounting plate 6 and the support plate 63. When loading is required, the push plate 41 moves upward through the through slot 631 to contact the tin foil cups at the bottom, driving the stacked tin foil cups upward. Simultaneously, the robotic arm 2 drives the suction cup to the tin foil cup, absorbs the tin foil cup, and transfers the tin foil cup to the designated location. After the tin foil cup at that location is used, the push plate 41 moves downward to the initial position, i.e., below the support plate 63. The power member 11 then drives the mounting plate 6 to rotate, which drives the placement rack 7 at that location away from the push plate 41, while simultaneously driving the next placement rack 7 with a tin foil cup to rotate to the push plate 41. The above operation is repeated to load the cups again. When the mounting plate 6 rotates, the block 522 on the connecting rod 1 523 rotates to engage with the loading portion 513 of the adjustment slot 511, driving the rotating rod 711 to rotate, increasing the distance between the blocking rods 712, causing the blocking rods 712 to open and be in the loading position. The tin foil cups are then stacked and placed on the support plate 63 in the loading position. When the mounting plate 6 rotates again, driving the block 522 on the connecting rod 1 523 to rotate into the support portion 512, the rotating rod 711 rotates to its initial position. At this time, the blocking rod 712 approaches the tin foil cups, supporting them and arranging them vertically for subsequent feeding.

[0065] The present application sets a loading position and a supporting position for the baffle 712. When in the loading position, the baffle 712 is opened to place the tin foil cup in the placement rack 7. When in the supporting position, the baffle 712 is retracted to put the tin foil cup in a vertical state so that the suction cup can transfer the tin foil cup, thereby reducing the tilting of the tin foil cup when placing it and reducing the deformation of the tin foil cup when transferring it with the suction cup, thereby improving the loading efficiency and the subsequent processing quality.

[0066] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it will be understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and are not to be construed as limitations on the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
