[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] As Figures 1 to 11As shown in the figure, a paper cup detection device includes a box body 1, a cup feeding mechanism 2 arranged at the upper part of the box body 1, and a detection module 3 arranged below the cup feeding mechanism 2. The detection module 3 includes a cup bottom detection mechanism 31, a cup body detection mechanism 32, and a cup mouth detection mechanism 33. A storage mechanism 4 is arranged below the detection module 3. Waste cup treatment pipelines 5 are arranged below the cup bottom detection mechanism 31 and on one side of the cup mouth detection mechanism 33. The detection module 3 detects the cup bottom, cup body, and cup mouth of the paper cup 6 output from the cup feeding mechanism 2 one by one, and conveys it into the storage mechanism 4 or the waste cup treatment pipeline 5 according to the detection results.

[0036] As Figure 3 , as shown in Figure 4, the cup bottom detection mechanism 31 and the cup mouth detection mechanism 33 are arranged in parallel. The cup bottom detection mechanism 31 includes a cup bottom turret assembly 311 for adsorbing and rotating the paper cup 6 and a cup bottom detection component 312. The cup mouth detection mechanism 33 includes a cup mouth turret assembly 331 for adsorbing and rotating the paper cup 6 and a cup mouth detection component 332. The cup body detection mechanism 32 includes a front cup body detection component 321 arranged below the cup bottom detection component 312 and a rear cup body detection component 322 arranged on one side of the cup mouth detection component 332. All detection components are arranged on the rotation paths of the cup bottom turret assembly 311 and the cup mouth turret assembly 331.

[0037] It is worth mentioning here that by arranging multiple groups of detection components on the rotation path of the paper cup 6, the appearance of the paper cup 6 can be detected more comprehensively. And during the detection process, the detection components replace manual detection, which can avoid misjudgment caused by visual fatigue during long-term manual detection.

[0038] As Figure 3 , as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, the cup bottom turret assembly 311 includes a turntable 35 and several groups of cup bottom molds 36 that rotate with the turntable 35. The cup bottom molds 36 adsorb the paper cup 6 with the cup bottom facing outward. The cup mouth turret assembly 331 includes a turntable 37 and several groups of cup mouth molds 38 that rotate with the turntable. The cup mouth molds 38 adsorb the paper cup 6 with the cup mouth facing outward. The protrusions of the cup bottom molds 36 are arranged in a shape similar to the paper cup 6. The cup mouth molds 38 are provided with a receiving cavity arranged in a shape similar to the paper cup 6.

[0039] It is worth mentioning here that by respectively arranging 4 groups of cup bottom molds 36 and cup mouth molds 38 in a circular array on the cup bottom detection mechanism 31 and the cup mouth detection mechanism 33, the cup feeding, detection, rejection, and switching operations on the cup bottom detection mechanism 31 can be carried out synchronously. The switching, detection, rejection, and cup dropping operations on the cup mouth detection mechanism 33 can be carried out synchronously, saving the waiting time between each process, improving efficiency, and the detection of paper cups 6 of other sizes can be completed by replacing the models of the cup bottom molds 36 and the cup mouth molds 38.

[0040] As Figure 3 , as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, an air pump 39 is provided on one side of the detection module 3. A switching station is provided between the bottom cup detection mechanism 31 and the cup mouth detection mechanism 33. Air flow channels for gas flow are provided on both the bottom cup mold 36 and the cup mouth mold 38. The paper cup 6 is switched between the bottom cup detection mechanism 31 and the cup mouth detection mechanism 33 by means of air blowing at the switching station.

[0041] It is worth mentioning here that by setting the method of blowing air to replace the manual operation between workstations, it can avoid the artificial contamination of the paper cup 6.

[0042] As Figure 7 , as shown, the cup feeding mechanism 2 includes a spiral cup dropping assembly 21 and a cup feeding pipe 22. The spiral cup dropping assembly includes a number of spiral rods 211 and a driving member 212.

[0043] It is worth mentioning here that by setting 4 groups of spiral rods 211 with a spiral structure to separate the stacked paper cups 6 one by one, it can prevent the subsequent detection work from missing inspections due to multiple paper cups 6 being stacked.

[0044] As Figure 8 , as shown in Figures 9, 10, and 11, the storage mechanism 4 includes a storage cage assembly 41 for storing the qualified paper cups 6 output by the detection module 3 and a cup receiving table 42 for receiving the paper cups 6 horizontally output by the storage cage assembly 41. The storage cage assembly 41 includes a storage cage 411, indexing teeth 412 fixed on the storage cage 411. The indexing teeth 412 are engaged with a motor gear 413. The motor gear 413 is rotatably arranged on a motor 414. The motor 414 is fixed on the box body 1. A cylinder 415 is further provided on the upper half of the storage cage 411. One end of the cylinder 415 is connected to the lower half of the storage cage 411.

[0045] It is worth mentioning here that the indexing teeth 412 on the storage cage assembly 41 are engaged with the motor gear 413 and drive the rotation of the storage cage assembly 41 through its rotation, so that the stacked paper cups 6 falling vertically into the storage cage assembly 41 can be rotated to the horizontal. The cylinder 412 on the upper half of the storage cage assembly 41 controls the opening and closing of the lower half of the storage cage assembly 41, so that the paper cups 6 can be stably output to the cup receiving table 42.

[0046] The working process is as follows:

[0047] Stacks of paper cups 6 enter through the cup inlet pipe 22. After passing through the spiral cup dispenser 21, one paper cup is separated and enters the detection module 3. The paper cup 6 is adsorbed by the cup bottom mold 36 on the cup bottom turret assembly 31, with the cup bottom facing outward. It rotates to pass through the cup bottom detection assembly 312 to detect the bottom of the paper cup 6, and then rotates downward to pass through the front cup body detection assembly 321 to detect one side of the cup body of the paper cup 6. The unqualified paper cups 6 will be blown into the pipe by air when rotating to the waste cup treatment pipe 5, and then rotate to the switching station. At this time, the rear cup body detection assembly 322 located above detects the other side of the cup body of the paper cup 6. The paper cup 6 is adsorbed onto the cup mouth mold 38 of the cup mouth turret assembly 33 by air blowing, rotates to the lower part of the cup mouth detection assembly 332 to detect the mouth of the paper cup 6. The unqualified paper cups 6 will be blown into the pipe by air when rotating to the waste cup treatment pipe 5. The qualified paper cups 6 will continue to rotate downward and enter the storage cage assembly 41. When the first paper cup 6 is being detected, the subsequent entering paper cups 6 repeat the detection process of the previous paper cup 6. When the number of paper cups 6 in the storage cage assembly 41 stacks up to a certain amount, the storage cage assembly 41 will rotate to the horizontal position, the lower part of the storage cage assembly 41 opens, and the paper cups 6 are output to the cup collection table 42.

[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
