[Specific implementation method]

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5The present embodiment is a coffee capsule transport device 100 with a simple structure, which is used to transport the filled and sealed coffee capsule to the next process. The coffee capsule transport device 100 with a simple structure includes a mounting seat 1, a driving motor 2 fixed on the mounting seat 1, a mounting plate 3 driven by the driving motor 2 to rotate, and a clamping mechanism 4 fixed on the mounting plate 3.

[0031] By providing a driving motor 2, the position of the clamping mechanism 4 can be quickly switched by rotation, and the movement in the horizontal direction and the height direction can be realized at the same time, which can effectively shorten the linear transfer time and improve the handling efficiency.

[0032] The mounting plate 3 includes a rotating arm 31 fixed to the output end of the driving motor 2 and a horizontal plate 32 for supporting and fixing the clamping mechanism 4 .

[0033] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a movable bracket 42 movably arranged above the mounting plate 3, a plurality of pairs of clamping jaws 43 hinged on the movable bracket 42 and extending horizontally, and a driving cylinder 41 that drives the movable bracket 42 to move left and right and drives the plurality of pairs of clamping jaws 43 to clamp or open simultaneously; the driving cylinder 41 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal plate 32; the clamping jaws 43 are all arranged horizontally, which is suitable for machines with small vertical space and has strong applicability.

[0034] The horizontal plate 32 is provided with a slide groove 321 and a slide rail 328 which are perpendicular to each other. The slide groove 321 is horizontally arranged left and right, and the slide rail 328 is arranged front and back. The movable bracket 42 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 321. The lower surface of each pair of clamping jaws 43 is provided with a slider 45, and the slider 45 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 328.

[0035] One end of the two claw bodies 431 of each pair of clamping claws 43 is hinged on the movable bracket 42 through a connecting rod 44, the first end of the connecting rod 44 is fixedly connected to the movable bracket 42, and the second end is hinged to one end of the claw body 431; the other ends of the two claw bodies 431 are oppositely provided with contact arc surfaces 4315 that imitate the outer wall of the coffee capsule.

[0036] Since the cup body of the coffee capsule to be transported has a conical structure with a large diameter at the upper end and a small diameter at the lower end, in order to stably clamp the coffee capsule, the claw body 431 is provided with an upper clamping jaw 4311 for clamping the upper end of the coffee capsule and a lower clamping jaw 4312 for clamping the lower end of the coffee capsule, the two lower clamping jaws 4312 are located on the inner sides of the two upper clamping jaws 4311, the upper clamping jaw 4311 is provided with a first contact arc surface 4313 that is contoured to the upper end of the coffee capsule, and the lower clamping jaw 4312 is provided with a second contact arc surface 4314 that is contoured to the lower end of the coffee capsule; the slider 45 is fixed to the lower surface of the lower clamping jaw 4312.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the filling and sealing of the coffee capsules are completed on the disc, and three coffee capsules are processed and transported each time, namely, one coffee capsule in the inner circle of the disc and two coffee capsules in the outer circle of the disc, and the one coffee capsule in the inner circle is located on the extension line of the symmetry center of the two coffee capsules in the outer circle. Correspondingly, in the present scheme, three pairs of jaws 43 are provided on the movable bracket 42, namely, the first jaw 46, the second jaw 47 and the third jaw 48. The first jaw 46 and the second jaw 47 are arranged opposite to each other front and back, and the third jaw 48 is located on the extension line of the symmetry center of the first jaw 46 and the second jaw 47, and the third jaw 48 is located on the right side of the first jaw 46 and the second jaw 47. The first jaw 46, the second jaw 47 and the third jaw 48 form a triangular structure on the horizontal plane.

[0038] When the coffee capsule is carried on the disc, the three clamps 43 are arranged horizontally, and the three clamps 43 need to extend into the horizontally arranged disc to clamp the coffee capsule, so the horizontal plate 32 needs to have openings at the positions where the clamps 43 are located. The horizontal plate 32 is provided with a first avoidance opening 322, a second avoidance opening 323 and a third avoidance opening 324 at the positions where the first clamp 46, the second clamp 47 and the third clamp 48 are located, respectively. The horizontal plate 32 is in an "I"-shaped structure, including a first mounting portion 325 on the left, a crossbeam 326 in the middle and a second mounting portion 327 on the right. The first mounting portion 325 and the second mounting portion 327 are both provided with slide rails 328, the slide groove 321 is fixed on the crossbeam 326 in the middle, and the movable bracket 42 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 321. Correspondingly, the movable bracket 42 includes a first extension rod 421 extending forward and used to hinge the first clamping jaw 46, a second extension rod 422 extending backward and used to hinge the second clamping jaw 47, and a third extension rod 423 extending rightward from the middle of the first extension rod 421 and the second extension rod 422 and used to hinge the third clamping jaw 48. The third extension rod 423 is a slender structure, and the middle part of the third extension rod 423 is slidably set in the slide groove 321. The third clamping jaw 48 is hinged at the end of the third extension rod 423. The end of the third extension rod 423 is located on the left side of the slide rail 328 on the second mounting portion 327, and does not interfere with the opening and clamping action of the third clamping jaw 48.

[0039] When the coffee capsule handling device 100 with a simple structure provided by the present solution is used, the driving motor 2 drives the rotating arm 31 to rotate and drives the horizontal plate 32 to extend onto the disc, so that the coffee capsule is located inside the clamping jaws 43. The driving cylinder 41 drives the movable bracket 42 to move to the left, and each pair of clamping jaws 43 slide on the slider 45 and move closer to each other to clamp the coffee capsule. The driving motor 2 drives the rotating arm 31 to rotate in the opposite direction to transport the coffee capsule removed from the disc to the lower material receiving conveyor line (not shown in the figure). The driving cylinder 41 drives the movable bracket 42 to move in the opposite direction, and each pair of clamping jaws 43 slide on the slider 45 and move away from each other to open, so that the coffee capsule enters the unloading conveyor line, thereby completing the handling of the coffee capsule.

[0040] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
