[0010] Further, a chute extending downward is provided at one end of the guiding unit close to the discharging end of the conveying unit, and a bump with an inclined surface is further included, and the inclined surface is used to tilt the cup body into the chute.

[0011] Further, the guiding unit includes side plates distributed on both sides of the conveying unit, the included angle between the inclined surface and the side plate is 10 to 20 degrees, and the length of the inclined surface is 140 to 150 mm.

[0012] Further, the conveying unit includes two rotating wheels rotatably connected to the frame, a belt tensioned by the rotating wheels, and a motor for driving the rotating wheels to rotate; the guiding unit further includes a bottom plate fixedly connecting the side plates, and a groove for accommodating the belt is provided on the bottom plate.

[0013] Further, one end of the guiding unit close to the loading end is open.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] The following is a description of some embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model proposes an automatic cup stand device, comprising a frame 1, a guide unit 2, a rotary unit 3 and a conveying unit 4, wherein the conveying unit 4 is used to move the cup body from its feeding end ( Figure 1 The left end of the material is transported to the unloading end ( Figure 1 The right end of the cup body is positioned in the conveying unit 4, and the guide unit 2 guides the cup body in this process; illustratively, the conveying unit 4 includes a motor, a rotating wheel and a belt 401, two rotating wheels are provided and are respectively rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the frame 1, the belt 401 is sleeved on the two rotating wheels and is tensioned by the rotating wheels, the motor is installed on the frame 1, and the motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating wheel to drive the rotating wheel to rotate.

[0025] The rotary unit 3 is arranged between the feeding end and the unloading end of the conveying unit 4. When the cup body passes through the rotary unit 3, the rotary unit 3 makes the cup body stand upright by friction. For example, the rotary unit 3 includes a motor and two turntables 302. The two turntables 302 are both rotatably connected to the frame 1 and the two turntables 302 are distributed on opposite sides of the conveying unit 4. The guide unit 2 includes a side plate 203 fixed to the frame 1, and the side plates 203 are distributed on opposite sides of the belt 401. Since the rotary unit 3 is arranged in the middle position of the conveying unit 4, the guide unit 2 can be divided into two sections here to avoid motion interference with the rotary unit 3.

[0026] Adopt the above solution:

[0027] Place the cup body on the belt 401 with its axial direction roughly along the transportation direction of the conveying unit 4. The opening of the cup body can face left or right. Specifically, taking the opening of the cup body facing right as an example, the conveying unit 4 conveys the cup body from the feeding end to the discharging end. During this process, the side plate 203 plays a role in limiting and guiding the cup body. When the opening end of the cup body reaches the turntable 302, the two turntables 302 clamp the opening of the cup body. The turntable 302 rotates clockwise, and the cup body changes from facing right to upright (opening upward) under the frictional force of the belt 401 and the turntable 302. Subsequently, the cup body continues to move rightward and finally completes the discharging operation from the discharging end. The automatic cup body straightening device of this assembly line is efficient, convenient and cost-saving; in addition, the cup body can be straightened by moving along the same straight line of the device, and the cup body is stable and safe during the straightening process and is not easily damaged.

[0028] Furthermore, considering that the outer wall of the cup body has a certain curvature, in order to facilitate clamping the cup body, bevel chamfers 301 are provided on the opposite sides of the turntable 302.

[0029] In some other embodiments, considering that the cup bodies need to be arranged longitudinally (i.e., the axial direction of the rotating wheel) uniformly after straightening, a downward extending slideway is provided at one end of the side plate 203 close to the discharging end of the conveying unit 4. Exemplarily, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the right side plate 203 is provided with a first slope 201 that slopes downward from left to right. For the convenience of installation, it further includes a connecting block 5. The connecting block 5 is detachably connected to the side plate 203 having the first slope 201. The connecting block 5 is provided with a second slope parallel to the first slope 201. The first slope 201, the second slope, and the side walls of the side plate 203 and the connecting block 5 together form a slideway. It further includes a convex block 6 having an inclined surface 601. The convex block 6 is fixedly installed on one of the side plates 203, and the inclined surface 601 is used to tilt the cup body into the slideway.

[0030] In this way, the belt 401 transports the upright cup body to the convex block 6, and the cup body slides along the inclined surface 601. When the cup body slides to the end of the inclined surface 601, its center of gravity changes. At this time, the cup body tilts into the slideway (the axial direction of the cup body is roughly parallel to the axial direction of the rotating wheel) and slides downward along the slideway.

[0031] Furthermore, the included angle between the inclined surface 601 and the side plate 203 fixed thereto is 10 to 20 degrees, and the length of the inclined surface 601 is 140 to 150 mm. Preferably, the included angle between the inclined surface 601 and the side plate 203 fixed thereto is 15 degrees, and the length of the inclined surface 601 is 145 mm; in this way, the cup body can fall into the slideway more gently.

[0032] Further, flexible pads are fixedly provided on the first slope 201 and the second slope, and the flexible pads play a buffering role for the dropped cup body.

[0033] Further, the guiding unit 2 further includes a bottom plate fixedly connected to the side plate 203. A groove 202 is provided on the bottom plate, and the width of the groove 202 matches the width of the belt 401 for accommodating the belt 401. In this way, on the one hand, the bottom plate supports the belt 401 to make the cup body conveying process more stable, and on the other hand, it can also play an auxiliary limiting role for the belt 401.

[0034] Further, one end of the side plate 203 close to the feeding end is open, that is, the left section of the side plate 203 is set such that the left end is larger than the right end, forming a flared shape. As the cup body is conveyed along with the belt 401, its posture is gradually adjusted under the guiding and limiting action of the side plate 203, facilitating the turntable 302 to clamp the cup body.

[0035] The present utility model also proposes a cleaning device, including any one of the above automatic cup standing devices.

[0036] Since the cleaning device is equipped with the above automatic cup standing device, on the one hand, it can smoothly and quickly arrange the cup bodies into an upright state; on the other hand, it can automatically adjust the posture of the cup bodies at the discharging end to make them lie longitudinally flat.
