[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a yogurt cup cover fastening device, including a first conveying platform 1, a second conveying platform 2, a fastening mechanism 3, and a receiving mechanism 4.

[0020] Specifically, the first conveyor table 1 has a plurality of grooves in the table array, each of which is provided with a yogurt cup. The yogurt cup contains yogurt and has a sealed top. To facilitate the lid closing, the top surface of the yogurt cup is higher than the table surface of the first conveyor table 1.

[0021] When in use, a filling machine and a sealing machine can be set upstream of the conveying direction of the first conveyor platform 1, and an empty yogurt cup is pre-placed in each groove. At the filling machine, yogurt is automatically injected into the yogurt cup by the filling machine, and the first conveyor platform 1 continues to convey downstream. At the sealing machine, the yogurt cup is sealed by the sealing machine, and the first conveyor platform 1 conveys the sealed yogurt cup to the fastening mechanism 3 for fastening.

[0022] Specifically, the second conveyor platform 2 is arranged on the first bracket, and is used to sequentially convey the milk caps, which contain fruit and vegetable crisps and have been sealed. The height of the second conveyor platform 2 is higher than that of the first conveyor platform 1, and the conveying direction of the second conveyor platform 2 is perpendicular to that of the first conveyor platform 1. Due to limited space, only one section of the first conveyor platform 1 and one section of the second conveyor platform 2 are shown in the attached figure.

[0023] Specifically, the receiving mechanism 4 includes a linear stroke component 41 and a tray 42. The tray 42 is located above the first conveyor platform 1. The tray 42 is connected to the rear end of the second conveyor platform 2. The top surface of the tray 42 is flush with the surface of the second conveyor platform 2. The tray 42 is used to receive multiple milk caps delivered by the second conveyor platform 2. The linear stroke component 41 is arranged on the second bracket. The linear stroke component 41 is used to keep the tray 42 away from the rear end of the second conveyor platform 2. There are many ways to implement the linear stroke component 41, such as using a motor to drive a screw rod, or using a cylinder, oil cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder to drive.

[0024] The specific structure of the tray 42 is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, it includes a bottom plate 421, two side plates 422 and a baffle 423. The two side plates 422 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 421, and their symmetry axes are consistent with the conveying direction of the second conveyor platform 2. The baffle 423 is arranged at one end of the bottom plate 421 away from the second conveyor platform 2. The baffle 423 is used to stop the milk cap on the tray 42.

[0025] Specifically, the mounting mechanism 3 includes a lifting component 31, multiple suction cups 32 and a horizontal plate 33. The lifting component 31 is arranged on the third bracket and is used to adjust the height of the horizontal plate 33. There are many ways to implement the lifting component 31, such as using a cylinder, an oil cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder to drive. Multiple suction cups 32 are connected to the horizontal plate 33. The suction cups 32 are located above the tray 42. The multiple suction cups 32 correspond to the milk caps on the tray 42 one by one. When the suction cups 32 move downward with the horizontal plate 33, the suction cups 32 are used to absorb the milk caps on the tray 42 and mount the milk caps on the corresponding yogurt cups.

[0026] The method of use is as follows: use the second conveyor platform 2 to convey multiple milk caps to the tray 42; use the lifting component 31 to move the horizontal plate 33 downward, and the suction cup 32 moves downward with the horizontal plate 33. After the suction cup 32 contacts and vacuum-absorbs the milk caps, it first remains still; use the linear stroke component 41 to horizontally move the tray 42 to move the tray 42 away from the rear end of the second conveyor platform 2, and the milk caps on the suction cup 32 lose the obstruction of the tray 42, and then use the lifting component 31 to continue to move the horizontal plate 33 downward until the milk caps are buckled onto the corresponding yogurt cups.

[0027] After the second conveyor platform 2 conveys multiple milk caps to the tray 42, in order to ensure that the remaining milk caps on the second conveyor platform 2 can stop in time, or when the tray 42 is away from the rear end of the second conveyor platform 2, to prevent the milk caps on the second conveyor platform 2 from falling, a stopping component can be provided at the rear end of the second conveyor platform 2. The stopping component is used to stop the milk caps on the second conveyor platform 2. The stopping component is an existing component, and its structure is not elaborated in detail here. For example, a pneumatic lifting rod is used to control the height of the blocking bar, and when the blocking bar moves down, it is used to block the milk caps.

[0028] In the above scheme, the multiple milk caps on the tray 42 are arranged in sequence, and the gap between two adjacent milk caps is very small, or even close together, because the milk caps are first opened by the outer edge of the yogurt cup during the buckling process, and then buckled on the outer edge of the yogurt cup, so the distance between two adjacent milk caps is too close, which may affect the buckling effect. In addition, the gap between two adjacent milk caps is very small, which also means that the gap between two adjacent yogurt cups is also very small, which is not conducive to sealing the yogurt cups upstream of the first conveyor 1.

[0029] Preferably, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the buckling mechanism 3 of this embodiment also includes a regulating plate 34, which is vertically arranged on the fourth bracket, and the third bracket is arranged on the top of the regulating plate 34. A plurality of slide grooves 341 are provided on the regulating plate 34, and the top and bottom ends of the slide grooves 341 are both vertically arranged. The top spacing of any two adjacent slide grooves 341 is the same, and the bottom spacing of any two adjacent slide grooves 341 is the same, and the bottom spacing is greater than the top spacing. An extension plate 331 is provided at the bottom of both ends of the horizontal plate 33, and a guide rod 332 is provided between the two extension plates 331. An L-shaped plate 321 is provided on the top of the suction cup 32, and the bottom of the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 321 is connected to the suction cup 32, and the longitudinal section of the L-shaped plate 321 is slidably matched with the guide rod 332, and the top of the longitudinal section of the L-shaped plate 321 is close to the horizontal plate 33, and a cylinder 322 is provided on the outer side of the longitudinal section of the L-shaped plate 321, and the cylinder 322 is slidably matched with the corresponding slide groove 341.

[0030] The function of the regulating plate 34 is to adjust the distance between two adjacent suction cups 32, and then adjust the distance between the milk caps. When the cylinder 322 is located at the top of the chute 341, the suction cup 32 is located directly above the corresponding milk cap, and when the suction cup 32 moves downward, it is convenient to absorb the milk cap on the tray 42; when the cylinder 322 moves to the bottom of the chute 341, the suction cup 32 is located directly above the corresponding yogurt cup.

[0031] The method is as follows: use the lifting component 31 to move the horizontal plate 33 downward, because the cylinder 322 is located at the top of the slide groove 341, the suction cup 32 first moves downward in a straight line with the horizontal plate 33, and the suction cup 32 contacts and vacuum absorbs the milk cap and then remains stationary; use the linear stroke component 41 to horizontally move the tray 42 to make the tray 42 away from the tail end of the second conveyor platform 2, and the milk cap on the suction cup 32 loses the obstruction of the tray 42, and then use the lifting component 31 to continue to move the horizontal plate 33 downward. When the cylinder 322 moves to the bottom of the slide groove 341, the distance between the two adjacent suction cups 32 is enlarged, and the suction cup 32 is located directly above the corresponding yogurt cup. The lifting component 31 continues to move the horizontal plate 33 downward, and the suction cup 32 moves downward in a straight line until the milk cap is buckled onto the corresponding yogurt cup.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical ideas and features of the utility model, and are not intended to be the only or limit the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes or equivalent replacements made to the utility model without departing from the scope of the utility model are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
