Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cup blanking, in particular to a cup blanking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A cup blanking mechanism is a device or apparatus used to accurately and efficiently transfer cup materials from a hopper or storage container to the next production process or packaging container. Such a mechanism is usually used in an automated production line to improve production efficiency and reduce manual operations.

[0003] Since most current food factories, especially the zongzi industry, need to precisely control the weight before packaging, the traditional manual material distribution method has become a bottleneck restricting industrial efficiency due to insufficient accuracy and low efficiency. It is necessary to develop a cup blanking mechanism specifically used to overcome the above problems, which has the advantages of accurate weight filling and high efficiency.

The cup tea blanking mechanism provided by this utility model, after a paper cup is placed inside the cup mold, drives the paper cup into the blanking component for blanking through the rotation of the cup moving component, and after continuing to rotate and displace, contacts the tea leveling component, so that the paper cup can maintain the same self-rotation trajectory as the cup mold, enabling the tea leaves accumulated in the paper cup during blanking to be evenly dispersed under the centrifugal throwing force, facilitating extrusion during subsequent filter paper pressing sealing, further reducing the gaps between the tea leaves, facilitating the improvement of the preservation quality, and also being able to avoid excessive accumulation of tea leaves at the corners, affecting the sealing operation of the filter paper inside the paper cup, reducing the waste rate.

Cup bodies are placed on one side of the main flexible chain channel.

[0008] Preferably, the outer retaining edge and the inner retaining edge are arranged on both sides of the cup body, and there are multiple groups of the outer retaining edge and the inner retaining edge.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] First, by setting a cup feeding auger, a main material hopper and other structures, the present utility model conducts operations of conveying, flowing and precisely feeding the cup body, ensuring the stability of product quality and meeting the requirements of high-precision production. The cup body passes through the main flexible chain channel, and through the limiting and guiding of the outer edge and the inner edge, it enters the groove of the cup feeding auger. The cup feeding auger is driven by a servo motor connected to a synchronous belt to drive the cup feeding auger to rotate, sending multiple groups of cup bodies to a predetermined position, that is, to the electronic scale tray.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , a cup body feeding mechanism, including a flange 1. One side of the flange 1 includes an outer flange 101, and an inner flange 102 is provided on the other side of the outer flange 101. A ball base 2 for cup inlet and outlet is arranged between the outer flange 101 and the inner flange 102. A servo motor 5 for auger drive is installed on one side of the ball base 2 for cup inlet and outlet, and a synchronous belt 6 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 5 for auger drive. A cup feeding auger 3 is installed on one side of the synchronous belt 6, and an electronic scale support plate 4 is arranged on the other side of the cup feeding auger 3. An electronic scale 14 is installed below the electronic scale support plate 4. A cup inlet stop cylinder 7 is installed on one side of the outer flange 101, and a main flexible chain channel 8 is arranged at the lower end of the outer flange 101. A primary linear vibratory feeder 9 is installed above the cup feeding auger 3. A buckle 11 for the primary linear vibratory hopper is installed above the primary linear vibratory feeder 9. A primary linear vibratory hopper 10 is installed above the buckle 11 for the primary linear vibratory hopper, and a hopper buckle 19 is installed at the upper end of the primary linear vibratory hopper 10. A main hopper 15 is installed above the hopper buckle 19. A vibration motor 16 for the main hopper is installed on one side of the main hopper 15, and an electric eye 17 for detecting the material level of the main hopper is installed above one side of the main hopper 15. A servo motor 12 for secondary auger feeding is arranged on one side below the primary linear vibratory feeder 9. A secondary auger feeding hopper 13 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 12 for secondary auger feeding. An electric eye 18 for detecting the material level of the secondary auger feeding hopper is installed on one side of the secondary auger feeding hopper 13. A secondary auger mounting plate and slide rail 20 are arranged at the upper end of the secondary auger feeding hopper 13. A cup body 21 is placed on one side of the main flexible chain channel 8.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, by setting the cup feeding auger 3, the main material hopper 15 and other structures, the cup body 21 is conveyed and precisely fed, ensuring the stability of product quality and meeting the requirements of high-precision production. The cup body 21 passes through the main flexible chain channel 8, and through the limiting and guiding of the outer edge 101 and the inner edge 102, it enters the groove of the cup feeding auger 3. The auger driving servo motor 5 is connected to the synchronous belt 6 to drive the cup feeding auger 3 to rotate, and multiple groups of cup bodies 21 are sent to the predetermined position, that is, to the electronic scale tray 4. Then the main material hopper 15 feeds, and the incoming cup stop cylinder 7 stops the excessive cup bodies 21. After the feeding is completed, the stop is cancelled and the next batch of cup bodies 21 is continued to be conveyed. The filled cup bodies 21 pass through the cup feeding auger 3, the outer edge 101 and the inner edge 102, and the cup bodies 21 are conveyed to the main flexible chain channel 8 on the right side and enter the next working station. The material is monitored by the main material hopper level detection photoelectric eye 17. When the level is low, feeding starts into the main material hopper 15. When the material adheres to the hopper wall, the main material hopper vibration motor 16 vibrates and drops the raw materials such as rice grains. The material falls into the first-stage linear vibrating hopper 10, and through the first-stage linear vibrating feeding 9, the material is conveyed into the second-stage auger feeding hopper 13, and the appropriate material is conveyed through the second-stage auger feeding hopper level detection photoelectric eye 18. Then the second-stage auger feeding servo motor 12 rotates to drive the small auger, and the materials such as rice grains are sent and dropped into the cup body 21 to complete quantitative filling. By setting the hopper buckle 19, the first-stage linear vibrating hopper buckle 11, the second-stage auger mounting plate and the slide rail 20, it is convenient to quickly disassemble the main material hopper 15, the first-stage linear vibrating hopper 10 and the second-stage auger feeding hopper 13 for easy cleaning. The main material hopper 15 is quickly disassembled through the hopper buckle 19, the second-stage auger feeding hopper 13 is quickly disassembled through the first-stage linear vibrating hopper buckle 11, and the second-stage auger feeding hopper 13 and the second-stage auger feeding servo motor 12 are quickly separated from the cup body 21 through the second-stage auger mounting plate and the slide rail 20 for easy cleaning.

[0024] Specifically, the outer edge 101 and the inner edge 102 are arranged on both sides of the cup body 21, and there are multiple groups of the outer edge 101 and the inner edge 102. Multiple groups of the outer edge 101 and the inner edge 102 are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the main flexible chain channel 8.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the cup body feeding mechanism mainly consists of the edge 1. One side of the edge 1 is provided with the outer edge 101, and the inner edge 102 is arranged on the other side of the outer edge 101. Between the outer edge 101 and the inner edge 102, the cup inlet and outlet ball bottom bracket 2 is installed for smoothly conveying the cup body.

[0026] Specifically, there are multiple groups of the cup feeding auger 3, and multiple groups of the cup feeding auger 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main material hopper 15.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, the symmetrically arranged cup feeding auger 3 improves the conveying efficiency of the cup body. The cup feeding auger 3 is arranged on one side of the ball bottom support 2 for cup inlet and outlet, facilitating the conveying of the cup body 21.

[0028] Specifically, the auger driving servo motor 5 is detachably connected to the synchronous belt 6.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, the auger driving servo motor 5 drives the synchronous belt 6 to operate, thereby driving the cup feeding auger 3 to operate. The cup feeding auger 3 conveys the cup body 21. The electronic scale tray 4 is arranged on the other side of the cup feeding auger 3 for precisely controlling the weight of the cup body. The detachable structure of the auger driving servo motor 5 and the synchronous belt 6 facilitates maintenance and replacement.

[0030] Specifically, the output end of the cup inlet stop cylinder 7 penetrates through the outer edge 101 and extends to its outside.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, the cup inlet stop cylinder 7 installed on one side of the outer edge 101 is used to stop the flow of the cup body when needed, and cancel the stop after the feeding is completed to continue conveying the next batch of cup bodies 21. At the same time, the main flexible chain channel 8 arranged at the lower end of the outer edge 101 conveys the cup body 21.

[0032] Specifically, the main hopper vibration motor 16 is detachably arranged on one side of the main hopper 15.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, the main hopper vibration motor 16 is externally connected to a power supply and a controller to ensure the independent operation of each device. The main hopper vibration motor 16 is used to vibrate and shed raw materials such as rice grains. The materials fall into the first-stage linear vibrating hopper 10 and are conveyed into the second-stage auger feeding hopper 13 through the first-stage linear vibrating feeding 9, ensuring the smooth flow of the materials and helping to prevent the materials from clogging or forming lumps in the hopper. The main hopper vibration motor 16 is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.

[0034] Specifically, there are multiple groups of cup bodies 21, and the multiple groups of cup bodies 21 are placed on the upper end of the main flexible chain channel 8.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, there are multiple groups of cup bodies 21, which are neatly placed on the main flexible chain channel 8 to ensure the continuity and stability of the feeding process. The main flexible chain channel 8 provides a continuous platform that can carry multiple groups of cup bodies 21. Based on the characteristics of the flexible chain, it allows for a certain degree of bending and adjustment during the conveying process as needed, facilitating the cup bodies 21 to enter the groove of the cup feeding auger 3 through the limiting and guiding of the outer edge 101 and the inner edge 102.

[0036] In use, when it is necessary to convey the cup body 21, the cup body 21 passes through the main flexible chain channel 8, and through the limiting and guiding of the outer edge 101 and the inner edge 102, it enters the groove of the cup conveying auger 3. The cup conveying auger 3 is driven by the servo motor 5 connected to the synchronous belt 6 to drive the cup conveying auger 3 to rotate, and convey multiple groups of cup bodies 21 to a predetermined position, that is, to the electronic scale tray 4. Then, the main hopper 15 discharges materials, and the incoming cup bodies are stopped by the cup inlet stop cylinder 7. After the discharging is completed, the stop is cancelled and the next batch of cup bodies 21 is conveyed. The filled cup bodies 21 pass through the cup conveying auger 3, the outer edge 101 and the inner edge 102, and convey the cup bodies 21 to the main flexible chain channel 8 on the right side and enter the next working station. When quantitative feeding is required, the material is monitored by the main hopper level detection photoelectric eye 17. When the level is low, feeding starts into the main hopper 15. When the material adheres to the hopper wall, the main hopper vibration motor 16 vibrates to drop the raw materials such as rice grains. The material falls into the first-stage linear vibrating hopper 10, and through the first-stage linear vibrating feeding 9, the material is conveyed into the second-stage auger feeding hopper 13. The appropriate material is conveyed through the second-stage auger feeding hopper level detection photoelectric eye 18. Then, the second-stage auger feeding servo motor 12 operates to drive the small auger, and drops the materials such as rice grains into the cup body to complete quantitative filling. When quick disassembly for easy cleaning is required, the main hopper 15 is quickly disassembled through the hopper buckle 19, and the second-stage auger feeding hopper 13 is quickly disassembled through the first-stage linear vibrating hopper buckle 11. The second-stage auger feeding hopper 13 and the second-stage auger feeding servo motor 12 are quickly separated from the cup body 21 through the second-stage auger mounting plate and the slide rail 20, which is convenient for cleaning.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits, and the scope is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
