[0026] In order to make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0029] In the production of disposable cup lids, whether it is the molding stage, the testing stage or the packaging stage, conveyor belts are usually required for transportation. Disposable cup lids are generally paper lids or plastic lids. During the transportation process, surface debris often falls and adheres to the conveyor belt, causing pollution to the conveyor belt. In addition, some debris will in turn adhere to other cup lids, causing pollution to the conveyed cup lids.

[0030] In order to overcome the above technical problems, refer to Figure 1-2 The present embodiment provides a cup lid conveying device, including a conveyor belt 1 and a cleaning mechanism 2. The cleaning mechanism 2 can continuously clean the surface of the conveyor belt 1 to avoid the problem that the conveyor belt 1 and the cup lid are repeatedly contaminated by dust and debris. The cup lid conveying device of the present solution can be specifically applied to various links in the production of disposable cup lids, such as cup lid forming equipment, cup lid automatic detection equipment, and cup lid packaging equipment.

[0031] Specifically, in the cup lid conveying device of this embodiment, the conveyor belt 1 is used to convey the cup lids; the cleaning mechanism 2 includes a cleaning brush 21 and a dust box 22, which are installed on the lower side of the conveyor belt 1 and are used to clean the surface of the conveyor belt 1; the dust box 22 is detachably connected to the cleaning brush 21 and is used to collect dust brushed by the cleaning brush 21.

[0032] In this embodiment, a cleaning mechanism 2 is provided at the lower side of the conveyor belt 1. The brush of the cleaning mechanism 2 contacts the lower surface of the conveyor belt 1. During the operation of the conveyor belt 1, dust and debris on the surface of the conveyor belt 1 will be brushed off by the cleaning brush 21, so the purpose of cleaning the conveyor belt 1 can be achieved. The dust and debris brushed off can be collected by the dust box 22, which is detachably connected to the cleaning brush 21. When a lot of garbage is collected, the user can remove the dust box 22 separately for cleaning, without disassembling the entire cleaning mechanism 2 or performing complicated maintenance operations, so that the cleaning mechanism 2 can be used for a long time.

[0033] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The cleaning brush 21 includes a brush holder 211 and a brush device 212. The brush holder 211 includes a support plate 2111 and two mounting plates 2112 connected to both ends of the support plate 2111. The brush device 212 is installed on the upper surface of the support plate 2111. The opposite sides of the two mounting plates 2112 are respectively provided with hanging bosses 213. The dust box 22 is provided with a hook 221, and the dust box 22 is hung on the hanging boss 213 through the hook 221.

[0034] A brush holder 211 is provided to support the brush 212, and the brush 212 is preferably detachably mounted to facilitate replacement of the brush 212. Two mounting plates 2112 of the brush 212 are provided with hooking bosses 213 on two opposite sides, and the dust box 22 is hooked on the hooking bosses 213 through hooks 221. It can be understood that the entire brush holder 211 and the downward projection of the brush 212 thereon can fall into the dust box 22. In other words, the dust and debris brushed off by the brush 212 can be collected by the dust box 22. The hooking bosses 213 on the mounting plate 2112 cooperate with the hooks 221 of the dust box 22, so that the dust box 22 can be easily hooked on the brush holder 211, which is convenient for the quick connection and separation of the cleaning brush 21 and the dust box 22.

[0035] In one embodiment, a J-shaped hole 222 is formed on the upper edge of the side wall plate of the dust box 22 , and the hook 221 is formed on the side of the J-shaped hole 222 .

[0036] A J-shaped hole 222 is directly opened on the side wall of the dust box 22 to form a hook 221. The hook 221 is an integral structure on the dust box 22, and has good connection reliability. It does not need to be processed and assembled separately, and has lower cost. In addition, the hook 221 is located below the upper edge of the dust box 22. When the dust box 22 is hung on the brush holder 211, the brush holder 211 actually extends into the cavity of the dust box 22, so that the distance between the dust box 22 and the brush 212 can be shortened, so that the fallen dust can be more completely collected by the dust box 22.

[0037] In one embodiment, at least two hanging bosses 213 are disposed on each of the mounting plates 2112 , and the hooks 221 disposed on the dust box 22 correspond to the hanging bosses 213 one by one.

[0038] The use of multiple hanging bosses 213 and hooks 221 can more evenly distribute the weight of the dust box 22, making the dust box 22 more stable when hung on the brush holder 211 and not easy to shake or fall off. Compared with a single hanging point, the design of multiple hanging bosses 213 and hooks 221 provides more connection points, thereby improving the reliability of the entire connection structure. Even if one of the hanging points is impacted or worn, the other hanging points can still maintain a stable connection.

[0039] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The support plate 2111 and the mounting plate 2112 are integrally formed sheet metal parts. The mounting plate 2112 is provided with a threaded hole 21121 , and the hanging boss 213 is threadedly mounted in the threaded hole 21121 .

[0040] The one-piece sheet metal design simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces production costs. The one-piece sheet metal structure not only ensures overall strength, but also enhances the stability of the cleaning mechanism 2. This structure can resist vibration and impact that may occur during the cleaning process, ensuring long-term reliability. At the same time, the mounting boss 213 is installed in the threaded hole 21121 through a thread, making the assembly process simpler and faster, and improving production efficiency.

[0041] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt 1 includes a conveyor belt frame 13, a pulley 12 and a belt body 11. The conveyor belt frame 13 is equipped with at least two parallel pulleys 12, and the belt body 11 is sleeved outside all the pulleys 12; the two mounting plates 2112 are bent upward relative to the support plate 2111 and fixed to the conveyor belt frame 13.

[0042] By bending the mounting plate 2112 upward and fixing it to the conveyor belt frame 13, a stable connection structure is formed between the cleaning brush 21 and the conveyor belt 1. This design makes it difficult for the cleaning brush 21 to shake or fall off during the cleaning process, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of cleaning. Moreover, this method can ensure that the cleaning mechanism 2 can be close enough to the lower surface of the belt body 11, so that the brush device 212 can stably contact the belt body 11, thereby achieving stable cleaning of the belt body 11. In addition, there is no need to set up a separate support frame to support the cleaning mechanism 2, which can reduce the cost of the device.

[0043] The fixing method of the mounting plate 2112 and the conveyor belt frame 13 can be designed to be relatively simple, such as using bolts, buckles and other connectors for fixing. This design makes the installation and removal process of the cleaning brush 21 very convenient, without complicated operations or tools, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0044] In one embodiment, a positioning hole 21122 is provided on the mounting plate 2112 , and a positioning nut is provided on the conveyor belt frame 13 . A positioning bolt passes through the positioning hole 21122 and is connected to the positioning nut to fix the mounting plate 2112 to the conveyor belt frame 13 .

[0045] The design of the positioning hole 21122 and the positioning nut enables the mounting plate 2112 to be accurately and quickly mounted on the conveyor belt frame 13, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the position of the cleaning brush 21. This connection method can effectively prevent the mounting plate 2112 from shifting or shaking during operation, thereby ensuring that the cleaning brush 21 is always in the correct position for cleaning. The bolt connection method makes the installation and removal of the mounting plate 2112 relatively simple and quick. The staff only needs to tighten or loosen the bolts to easily fix or remove the mounting plate 2112, which greatly improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0046] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , also includes a blowing mechanism 3 and a material receiving mechanism, the blowing mechanism 3 and the material receiving mechanism are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 1; the material receiving mechanism includes a material receiving conduit 4, the inlet end of the material receiving conduit 4 is located above the conveyor belt 1 and faces the blowing mechanism 3, and the blowing mechanism 3 can blow the cup lids on the conveyor belt 1 into the material receiving conduit 4.

[0047] A blowing mechanism 3 and a receiving mechanism are provided, which are generally used in automatic cup lid detection equipment. During the detection process, the equipment can automatically sort the cup lids according to the detection results. When the cup lids are transported to the corresponding category of receiving mechanisms after the detection, the corresponding blowing mechanism 3 is started, and the cup lids can be blown horizontally to the receiving duct 4, and the cup lids are guided by the receiving duct 4 to fall into the receiving box located below the receiving duct 4, thereby realizing the automatic sorting and collection function.

[0048] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 4 A distance detector 41 is provided at the outlet end of the material collecting conduit 4 , and the distance detector 41 is used to detect the height of the cup lids collected by the material collecting box below the material collecting conduit 4 .

[0049] The distance detector 41 can detect the height of the cup lids collected in the receiving box. When the height reaches the set prompt height, a prompt message can be sent to the staff to remind the staff to clean the receiving box in time. Therefore, the cup lid conveying device of this solution is more intelligent.

[0050] On the other hand, refer to Figure 5 , this embodiment also provides a cup lid visual inspection device, including the above-mentioned cup lid conveying device.

[0051] Specifically, the cup lid visual inspection equipment of this embodiment also includes a visual inspection device 5 located between the cup lid conveying devices. The cup lids are conveyed to the visual inspection device 5 by the cup lid conveying device at the front end, and the cup lid conveying device at the rear end conveys the inspected cup lids. The visual inspection device 5 can take images of the surface of the cup lids and upload them to the analysis system for automatic analysis and inspection, thereby realizing an automated inspection function.

[0052] The cup lid visual inspection device of the present embodiment includes the above-mentioned cup lid conveying device, so the cup lid visual inspection device of the present embodiment can also achieve the purpose of cleaning the conveyor belt 1, avoiding the problem of repeated contamination of the conveyor belt 1 and the cup lids by dust and debris.
