Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plastic cup processing, in particular to an online automatic counting and packaging machine for plastic cups. Background Art

[0002] A plastic cup refers to a disposable container used to hold beverages and tea. It belongs to non-degradable products and is the main source of "white pollution". The largest amount of disposable plastic cups is generally used in beverage stores, hot and cold drink stores, milk tea shops, hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops, providing various plastic cup-packed takeout drinks and on-site use. Such cups belong to non-degradable products. After many people finish drinking the beverages, they casually throw away the cups, which also makes such disposable plastic cups become the main source of "white pollution". During the production process of plastic cups, they need to be heat-sealed and packaged. In the heat-sealing process of traditional packaging machines, problems such as uneven shrinkage are likely to occur. At the same time, using fixed-position cutting is not convenient for processing plastic cups of different specifications. For this reason, we propose an online automatic counting and packaging machine for plastic cups. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide an online automatic counting and packaging machine for plastic cups. When the linear motor is started, the heat-sealing cutter seals the packaged plastic cups. Subsequently, the main heating tube inside the housing can heat and shrink the plastic film sleeved on the outside of the plastic cup, while the blower can make the plastic cups roll back and forth, thereby improving the efficiency and effect of plastic film shrinkage, and effectively solving the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: an online automatic counting and packaging machine for plastic cups, including a conveyor and a heat-sealing cutter;

[0005] Conveyor: Brackets are fixed at the four corners of the bottom surface. The top surface of the conveyor is fixed with a housing.

The heat-sealing cutter is installed inside the tool holder. A heating tube is inserted into the through hole in the middle of the heat-sealing cutter.

[0006] Among them, it further includes a controller, which is arranged on the front side of the conveyor. The input ends of the conveyor, the main heating tube, the electric push rod, and the heating tube are electrically connected to the output end of the controller. The input end of the controller is electrically connected to the output end of an external power supply.

[0007] Start the electric push rod to drive the heat-sealing cutter to press down to seal the packaged plastic cups. The conveyor conveys the plastic cups, and the main heating tube inside the housing can heat and shrink the plastic film on the surface of the plastic cups, thereby completing the packaging of the plastic cups.

[0008] Further, the adjusting unit includes a linear motor, a support frame, an electric telescopic rod, a pressing rod and a rubber pressing strip.

At the same time, it is also convenient to adjust the sealing position according to the specifications of the plastic cup.

[0009] Further, it also includes a connecting plate, a screw rod and a limiting plate. There are two connecting plates which are respectively fixed at both ends of the left side of the housing. The screw hole in the middle of the connecting plate is threadedly connected with the screw rod. The inner end of the screw rod is rotatably connected to the outer side surface of the limiting plate. By rotating the screw rod to adjust the position of the limiting plate, the packaged plastic cups can be guided and limited, so as to facilitate subsequent collection.

[0010] Further, it also includes a fan frame and a fan. The fan frames are evenly installed on the front and back sides of the housing. The fan frames installed on the front and back sides are arranged in a cross-corresponding manner. A fan is placed inside the fan frame. The input end of the fan is electrically connected to the output end of the controller. The fans inside the fan frames can blow the plastic cups during packaging to make them roll back and forth to improve the efficiency and effect of plastic film shrinkage.

[0011] Further, it also includes a frame and an industrial camera. There are two frames which are fixedly arranged corresponding to the front and back at the top of the left side of the housing. An industrial camera is placed inside the frame. The input end of the industrial camera is electrically connected to the output end of the controller.
