[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a milk cup and milk cap buckling device, including a milk cup packaging line, a milk cap packaging line, and a buckling mechanism 3.

[0020] The milk cup packaging line is an existing production line. This solution does not improve the milk cup packaging line. The milk cup packaging line includes a conveyor table 21. A plurality of grooves are arranged in an array on the conveyor table 21. The grooves are arranged in multiple rows and columns. An empty milk cup is pre-placed in each groove. The milk cup is first filled with yogurt by a filling machine, and then a sealing machine covers a layer of sealing paper on the milk cup. The packaged milk cup is then conveyed to the buckling mechanism 3 by the conveyor table 21.

[0021] In the prior art, the milk cap packaging line is basically the same as the milk cup packaging line. In order to cleverly coordinate the milk cap packaging line with the buckle assembly mechanism 3, the present invention makes the following improvements to the milk cap packaging line: the milk cap packaging line includes a travel mechanism 11 and a plurality of U-shaped transfer racks 12 arranged on the travel mechanism 11. Due to limited space, only two U-shaped transfer racks 12 are shown in the attached figure. In actual application, the number of U-shaped transfer racks 12 can be increased according to demand. The travel mechanism 11 is used to move the U-shaped transfer racks 12 to the top of the buckle assembly mechanism 3 in sequence. The moving directions of the plurality of U-shaped transfer racks 12 are consistent with the conveying The conveying direction of the delivery platform 21 is vertical. There are many ways to implement the travel mechanism 11. Its structure and principle are not described in detail here. Two support plates 13 are arranged between the two inner walls of the U-shaped transfer frame 12. A regulating box is arranged on the U-shaped transfer frame 12. The regulating box is a prior art and is used to adjust the distance between the two support plates 13. The structure and principle of the regulating box are not described in detail here. For example, the motor drives the screw rod, and the threads at both ends of the screw rod are in opposite directions. The inner walls opposite to each other of the two support plates 13 are provided with a plurality of arc grooves, and a packaged milk cap is placed in each arc groove, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom surface of the milk cover is lower than the bottom surface of the support plate 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 Shown is a schematic diagram of the structure of the milk cap.

[0022] At the upstream of the milk cap packaging line, the empty milk caps are first placed in the support plate 13 of each U-shaped transfer rack 12; the travel mechanism 11 moves the U-shaped transfer rack 12 to the quantitative feeder in sequence, and uses the quantitative feeder to load the crisp grains or fruit and vegetable crisps into the milk caps; the travel mechanism 11 moves the U-shaped transfer rack 12 to the sealing machine in sequence, and uses the sealing machine to seal the milk caps; the travel mechanism 11 moves the U-shaped transfer rack 12 to the buckling mechanism 3 in sequence, uses the buckling mechanism 3 to take out the milk caps in the support plate 13, and buckles the milk caps onto the corresponding milk cups.

[0023] The buckling mechanism 3 includes a power assembly, a frame 32 and a plurality of suction cups 33 disposed on the top of the frame 32. The power assembly is disposed on the support plate 311. The power assembly is used to adjust the height of the frame 32 and also to flip the frame 32 180°. Figure 4 As shown, the tops of the plurality of suction cups 33 correspond to the milk caps on the support plate 13 , and the bottoms of the plurality of suction cups 33 correspond to a row of milk cups on the conveying platform 21 .

[0024] The specific implementation of the power component is as follows: Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a lifting component 312, a cross plate 313, a gear 314 and a rack 315. The lifting component 312 is arranged on the outside of the support plate 311. The so-called outside of the support plate 311 refers to the side of the support plate 311 away from the conveying platform 21. The lifting component 312 is connected to a slider 3121 for adjusting the height of the slider 3121. There are many ways to implement the lifting component 312, such as using a motor to drive a screw rod, or using a cylinder, oil cylinder or hydraulic cylinder to drive. Two cylinders 3112 are arranged on the inner side of the support plate 311, and the support plate 311 is provided with a The slide groove 3111 is vertically arranged, and the slide groove 3111 is located between the two cylinders 3112. The rack 315 is vertically arranged on the inner side of the support plate 311. The frame 32 is arranged on the horizontal plate 313. The end of the horizontal plate 313 is connected to the center of the gear 314. The gear 314 is provided with a rotating rod on the side facing the support plate 311. The rotating rod passes through the slide groove 3111 and is rotatably connected to the slider 3121, and the rotating rod is matched with the slide groove 3111. The bottom of the gear 314 is provided with saw teeth within a preset range. The top of the gear 314 is provided with a U-shaped plate 3141, and the top of the U-shaped plate 3141 is provided with a U-shaped groove. Figure 2 From the perspective, at this time, the serrations of the gear 314 have just disengaged from the rack 315, and the cylinder 3112 has not yet entered the U-shaped groove. When the gear 314 moves downward, the serrations of the gear 314 are used to engage the rack 315, and when the gear 314 moves upward, the U-shaped groove is used to accommodate the cylinder 3112.

[0025] The method of use is as follows: use the lifting component 312 to move the slider 3121 upward, and the gear 314, the horizontal plate 313, the frame 32 and the multiple suction cups 33 move up with the slider 3121 as a whole. Note that when the gear 314 moves up, the cylinder 3112 will enter the U-shaped groove, and the cylinder 3112 plays a guiding role to ensure that the gear 314 can move vertically upward; when the suction cup 33 contacts and absorbs the corresponding milk cap and remains stationary, first use the control box to expand the distance between the two support plates 13. After the support plates 13 are away from the milk cap, use the lifting component 312 to move the slider 3121 downward, and the gear 314, the horizontal plate 313, the frame 32 and the multiple suction cups 33 move down with the slider 3121 as a whole; when the gear 314 engages the rack 315, it will cause the gear 314 to rotate 180°, thereby turning the milk cap over; when the gear 314 moves down and disengages from the rack 315, the state is the same as Figure 2 The U-shaped groove is similar to that in the embodiment, except that the U-shaped groove opens downward, and the slider 3121 is further moved downward by utilizing the lifting assembly 312, and the cylinder 3112 is accommodated in the U-shaped groove, so as to ensure that the gear 314 can move vertically downward until the milk cap is buckled onto the corresponding milk cup.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the fastening mechanism 3 of the present scheme can directly take away the milk caps on the milk cap packaging line. This process does not require the milk caps on the milk cap packaging line to be collected to the conveying mechanism. The prior art requires a turning mechanism to complete the turning task of the milk caps, and a robotic arm to complete the fastening task of the milk caps. The fastening mechanism 3 of the present scheme has both the functions of turning over and fastening the milk caps.

[0027] 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.
