[0029] The lock catcher 12 includes a cup cap 13 provided on the cup cover 1, a limiting plate 14 having a limiting hole 141, a compression spring hole provided on the cup cap 13, a compression spring 15 provided in the compression spring hole, and left and right locking tongues 17 having a clamping portion 16;

[0030] The limiting plate 14 restrains the clamping portion 16 against the compression spring 15 through the limiting hole 141 , and the locking tongue 17 is assembled in the slide slot 11 and can slide horizontally in the space defined by the limiting hole 141 in the slide slot 11 .

[0031] Lock catch assembly process: Figure 1As shown, the compression spring 15 is arranged in the compression spring hole, and the left and right locking tongues 17 are installed from both sides of the slide groove 11 so that the clamping portion 16 of the locking tongue 17 is close to the compression spring 15, and the clamping portion 16 of the locking tongue 17 is restrained in the limiting hole 141 by the limiting plate 14, and then the limiting plate 14 is fixed on the cup cover 1 to complete the installation of the lock catch 12. After the assembly is completed, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown.

[0032] Working principle of the lock catcher: the clamping part 16 is pressed by the compression spring 15 and squeezed toward the two ends of the limiting hole in the space defined by the limiting hole 141, so that a part of the left and right lock tongues 17 remain extended to press the cover as a lock cup state; when the clamping part 16 is clamped by a robot or other external force, the left and right lock tongues 17 retract into the slide groove 11 to open the cover.

[0033] Examples of using the locking gripper with a manipulator: Figure 3-4 The dyeing and finishing cup shown is in a locked state. The robot moves to the top of the cup cover 1, aligns with the lock catch and clamps the clamping part 16 to retract the left and right locking tongues 17 into the slide groove 11 to keep the cover open. The robot grabs the cup cover 1 to the waiting area.

[0034] According to the process procedure, the cup cover 1 in the waiting area is grasped to the top of the cup cover 1, and the cup cover is aligned with the cup body and installed, and the clamping part 16 is released. The clamping part 16 is pressed by the compression spring 15 and squeezed toward the two ends of the limiting hole in the space defined by the limiting hole 141, so that a part of the left and right locking tongues 17 extend out of the pressure cover to reach the tongue groove 191 of the cup body 19 to maintain the locked cup state.

[0038] For example, Figure 1-2 As shown, the cup cap 13 is centered on the cup cover 1 and is arranged on the slide groove 11 .

[0039] Exemplarily, not shown in the figure, the cup cap 13 is centered on the cup cover 1 but is not arranged in the slide groove 11, and is welded to the cup cover in the air apart from the slide groove 11.

[0040] For example, Figure 1-2As shown, the cup cover 1 and the limiting plate 14 are both provided with mutually matching screw holes 142 , and the limiting plate 14 is fixed to the cup cover 1 by screws 143 .

[0041] For example, Figure 1-2 As shown, the slide groove 11 is provided with a guide rail 111 , and the left and right locking tongues 17 are provided with guide sleeves 171 that can slide on the guide rail 111 .

[0042] For example, Figure 1-4 As shown, it also includes a sealing ring 18 assembled on the cup cover 1. This embodiment is suitable for processes that require the dyeing and finishing cup to swing, shake, and sway, and the sealing ring is used to seal the cup body to prevent the liquid in the cup body from overflowing.

[0043] This embodiment shows a dyeing and finishing cup, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, it includes a cup body 19, and the automatic locking cup cover covers the cup body 19.

[0044] For example, Figure 3-4 As shown, a tongue groove 191 is provided on the inner side of the cup mouth of the cup body 19. The clamping part 16 is released by external force or a robot. The clamping part 16 is pressed by the compression spring 15 and squeezed toward the two ends of the limiting hole in the space defined by the limiting hole 141, so that a part of the left and right locking tongues 17 extends out of the pressure cover to reach the tongue groove 191 of the cup mouth to complete the automatic locking of the cup.

[0045] For example, Figure 3 As shown, a drain port 192 is provided at the bottom of the cup body 19 , and a drain valve 193 is connected to the drain port 192 to drain the liquid in the cup body 19 .
