[0030] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a plastic cup groove forming device provided by an embodiment of this utility model. As Figure 1 shown, this plastic cup groove forming device includes a storage component 1. On both the left and right sides outside the storage component 1, a separation component 2 is fixedly connected. On both the left and right sides outside the storage component 1, a processing and fixing component 3 located below the separation component 2 is fixedly connected. Outside the bottom end of the storage component 1, a processing component 4 is fixedly connected.
[0031] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that the storage component 1 is a storage container in the form of a plastic cup. By controlling the separation component 2 and the processing and fixing component 3, the plastic cups stored in the storage component 1 are moved downward in sequence. During the movement, the processing component 4 processes grooves at the bottom of the plastic cups. This process is fully automated and does not require manual operation, which can improve the groove processing efficiency and enable customized groove processing at the bottom of the plastic cups.
[0032] As Figures 1-2 shown, the storage component 1 includes a storage tank 10, a first socket 11, a second socket 12, a fixed seat 13, a fixing plate 14, and a limiting column 15. On both the left and right sides of the outside of the storage tank 10, two first sockets 11 and two second sockets 12 are provided. The first socket 11 is square in shape, and the second socket 12 is located below the first socket 11. The second socket 12 is arc-shaped. Two fixed seats 13 are fixedly connected to the outside of both the first socket 11 and the second socket 12. Two fixing plates 14 are fixedly connected to the front and back of the storage tank 10. The fixing plates 14 are horizontally corresponding to the positions of the second sockets 12. Two limiting columns 15 are fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing plates 14.
[0033] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that two sets of symmetric first sockets 11 are provided on both sides of the storage tank 10 to enable the separation component 2 to smoothly enter the inside of the storage tank 10, thereby limiting the plastic cups in the storage tank 10 and effectively protecting the smooth progress of the groove processing of the plastic cups. And two sets of symmetric second sockets 12 are provided on both sides of the storage tank 10 to enable the processing and fixing component 3 to smoothly enter the inside of the storage tank 10, so that the processing and fixing component 3 can fix the plastic cups during processing. And the addition of the fixing plates 14 and the limiting columns 15 outside the second sockets 12 is to improve the stability of the processing and fixing component 3 during movement and prevent the processing and fixing component 3 from shifting.
[0034] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the separation component 2 includes a first support frame 20, a first sleeve 21, a first air pipe 22, a first moving rod 23, and a first separation tray 24. The first support frame 20 includes two connecting arms, two cylinders, and a connecting piece. The two ends of the connecting arms are respectively fixedly connected to the cylinders and the fixed seats 13. A connecting piece is fixedly connected between the two cylinders. Two first sleeves 21 are fixedly connected inside the first support frame 20. The air holes of the first sleeves 21 are connected to a first air pipe 22. The first air pipe 22 is connected to an air control device, and the air control device is electrically connected to the main control. A first moving rod 23 is sleeved inside the first sleeve 21. One end of the first moving rod 23 away from the first sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to a first separation tray 24. The first separation tray 24 includes a tray and an arc-shaped baffle, and the tray contacts the inside of the first socket 11.
[0035] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that the first support frame 20 plays a role in supporting and fixing, ensuring the stability of the first moving rod 23 during movement and air guiding. During the air intake process, the first moving rod 23 will extend outward in the first sleeve 21, and the first separation support 24 will move synchronously until it enters the inside of the storage tank 10. The two first separation supports 24 will move alternately under the control of the pneumatic control device. The lower first separation support 24 will block the plastic cups in the storage tank 10 to ensure the processing of the grooves of the lower plastic cups. When the processing of the lower plastic cups is completed, the upper first separation support 24 will retract first, so that the lower first separation support 24 holds the lowermost plastic cup. Then the upper first separation support 24 resets to hold the previous plastic cup. Finally, the lower first separation support 24 retracts to make the lowermost plastic cup fall downward, and then the lower first separation support 24 resets to end the cycle.
[0036] As Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the processing and fixing component 3 includes a second support frame 30, a second sleeve 31, a second moving rod 33, a second separation support 34 and a limiting piece 35. The second support frame 30 includes two connecting arms, two cylinders and a connecting piece. The two ends of the connecting arm are respectively fixedly connected to the cylinder and the fixed seat 13. A connecting piece is fixedly connected between the two cylinders. Two second sleeves 31 are fixedly connected inside the second support frame 30. The air holes of the second sleeve 31 are connected to a second air pipe 32, and the second air pipe 32 is connected to the pneumatic control device, and the pneumatic control device is electrically connected to the total control. A second moving rod 33 is sleeved inside the second sleeve 31. One end of the second moving rod 33 away from the second sleeve 31 is fixedly connected to a second separation support 34. The second separation support 34 includes an arc-shaped plate and an outer protection plate. The arc-shaped plate contacts the inner side of the second socket 12. Limiting pieces 35 are fixedly connected to the front and back of the second separation support 34, and positioning holes are formed in the limiting pieces 35, and the positioning holes are sleeved with limiting columns 15.
[0037] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that the upper second separation support 34 is in a retracted state. The lower second separation support 34 will catch the falling plastic cup. The pneumatic control device adjusts to make the upper second separation support 34 extend into the storage tank 10. Under the action of the two second separation supports 34, the plastic cup is fixed, and the processing component 4 processes the grooves of the plastic cup. After the processing is completed, the lower second separation support 34 retracts to make the plastic cup fall.
[0038] As Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the processing component 4 includes a fixed layer board 40, mounting pieces 41, a pneumatic push rod 44, a heater 45 and a heat insulation board 46. The fixed layer board 40 is arranged outside the bottom end of the storage tank 10. Two mounting pieces 41 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the fixed layer board 40 respectively. The mounting pieces 41 are fixedly installed on the outside of the storage tank 10 through mounting screws. A linear guide rail 42 located on the left side of the storage tank 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed layer board 40. The bottom of the slider of the linear guide rail 42 is fixedly connected to a mounting frame 43. A pneumatic push rod 44 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the end of the mounting frame 43 away from the slider. The pneumatic push rod 44 is connected to a pneumatic control device, and the pneumatic control device is electrically connected to the main control. A heater 45 is fixedly installed outside the telescopic rod of the pneumatic push rod 44. A heating mold is placed inside the heater 45, and the heater 45 is electrically connected to the main control. A heat insulation board 46 is fixedly connected to the side of the heater 45 close to the mounting frame 43.
[0039] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that the linear guide rail 42 regulates the position of the pneumatic push rod 44. When it is necessary to process a groove at the bottom of the plastic cup, the linear guide rail 42 is activated to move the pneumatic push rod 44 from left to right. The heater 45 is located directly below the storage tank 10 and faces the bottom of the plastic cup. The pneumatic push rod 44 is regulated by the pneumatic control device and extends. The heater 45 processes a groove at the bottom of the plastic cup. After the processing is completed, the pneumatic push rod 44 retracts, and the linear guide rail 42 resets to enable the plastic cup to fall successfully.
[0040] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used, with steps reordered, added or deleted. For example, the steps described in the present utility model can be executed in parallel, sequentially or in a different order, as long as the desired results of the technical solution of the present utility model can be achieved. This is not limited herein.
[0041] The above specific embodiments do not constitute a limitation to the protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub - combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
