Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a packaging device, in particular to a spoon sticking machine, and belongs to the technical field of packaging equipment. Background Art

[0002] Currently, many low-temperature milk manufacturers prefer to use round plastic cups to package products such as yogurt. Because yogurt has a different consistency than liquid milk, it cannot be consumed with a straw. To make it easier for users to consume, dairy manufacturers place a foldable plastic spoon on the top sealing film of the cup and then cover it with a plastic cup lid. However, many manufacturers still manually place the spoon on the top of the cup and then manually close the lid, which is inefficient.

[0003] To address this situation, a fully automatic spoon-applying machine is needed. This machine integrates glue spraying and spoon-applying, automatically completing all operations on the production line. Existing spoon-applying machines have the following problems: Yogurt cups are prone to tipping over when traveling on the conveyor line, and the existing rotating drum lacks a groove for the spoon. A groove needs to be created to allow the spoon to fit perfectly onto the drum, where it can then be cut and applied.

[0004] The utility model proposes a new solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that the existing spoon sticking machine is easy to fall over when the yogurt round cup is moving on the conveyor line and the existing rotary drum has no groove for the spoon, and to provide a spoon sticking machine.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] A spoon sticking machine includes a conveyor line and cups located on the conveyor line. The conveyor line is provided with an anti-cup overturning mechanism, a cup separating mechanism, a glue spraying mechanism and a spoon sticking mechanism in sequence along the conveying direction. The anti-cup overturning mechanism includes side rods installed on the conveyor line and located on both sides of the cup. A top rod located on the top of the cup is provided above the conveyor line. The cup separating mechanism includes a cylinder installed on the front of the conveyor line and a baffle installed at the output end of the cylinder and located on the top of the conveyor line.

[0008] Preferably, the glue spraying mechanism includes a lifting frame installed in front of the conveyor line, the output end of the lifting frame is fixedly connected to an extension arm located above the conveyor line, and the glue spraying machine is installed on the extension arm.

[0009] Preferably, the spoon sticking mechanism includes a mounting frame installed on the conveyor line and a rotating drum installed on the mounting frame, and a cutter is provided on one side of the rotating drum.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of grooves are provided on the rotary drum, and a knife groove cooperating with the cutter is provided between two of the grooves.

[0011] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: according to the spoon sticking machine of the present invention, through the arrangement of the cup-anti-overturning mechanism, the cup-splitting mechanism, the glue-spraying mechanism and the spoon-sticking mechanism, the cups pass through the above mechanisms in sequence on the conveyor line to complete the spoon sticking, thereby improving work efficiency; through the arrangement of the cup-anti-overturning mechanism, the two side rods and the top rod play a restrictive role on the cups to prevent the cups from tipping over and affecting the subsequent spoon sticking; through the arrangement of the cylinder and the baffle, the cups can be separated to prevent the cups from being close together, resulting in omissions in the spoon sticking and affecting use.

[0019] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention more clear and specific to those skilled in the art, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to embodiments and drawings, but the implementation manner of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0020] like Figures 1-6As shown, the spoon-attaching machine provided in this embodiment includes a conveyor line 1 and cups 2 positioned on the conveyor line 1. The conveyor line 1 is provided with an anti-cup tipping mechanism 3, a cup-separating mechanism 4, a glue-spraying mechanism 5, and a spoon-attaching mechanism 6, sequentially arranged along the conveying direction. The anti-cup tipping mechanism 3 includes side bars 7 mounted on the conveyor line 1 and located on both sides of the cups 2. A top bar 8 is provided above the conveyor line 1 and located on top of the cups 2. The cup-separating mechanism 4 includes a cylinder 9 mounted on the front of the conveyor line 1 and a baffle 10 mounted at the output end of the cylinder 9 and located on top of the conveyor line 1. Through the arrangement of the anti-cup tipping mechanism 3, the cup-separating mechanism 4, the glue-spraying mechanism 5, and the spoon-attaching mechanism 6, the cups 2 pass through these mechanisms on the conveyor line 1 in sequence, completing the spoon-attaching process and improving work efficiency. The anti-cup tipping mechanism 3 allows the two side bars 7 and the top bar 8 to restrain the cups 2, preventing them from tipping over and affecting subsequent spoon-attaching. The cylinder 9 and the baffle 10 enable cup-tapping, preventing the cups 2 from clumping together, which could result in missed spoon attachments and affect their use.

[0021] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the glue spraying mechanism 5 includes a lifting frame 11 mounted on the front of the conveyor line 1. The output end of the lifting frame 11 is fixedly connected to an extension arm 12 located above the conveyor line 1. A glue sprayer 13 is mounted on the extension arm 12. The setting of the lifting frame 11 can adjust the height of the glue sprayer 13 to accommodate cups 2 of different heights and prevent inaccurate glue spraying due to large spacing.

[0022] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the spoon attachment mechanism 6 includes a mounting frame 14 mounted on the conveyor line 1 and a rotating drum 15 mounted on the mounting frame 14. A cutter 16 is provided on one side of the rotating drum 15. The rotating drum 15 is provided with multiple grooves 17. A knife groove 18 is provided between two grooves 17 to cooperate with the cutter 16. Through the configuration of the rotating drum, the grooves 17 are provided on the rotating drum 15 according to the shape of the spoon, allowing the spoon to fit completely on the rotating drum 15, and then cut and attached on the rotating drum 15.

[0023] In this embodiment, if Figures 1-6 As shown, the working principle of a spoon sticking machine provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0024] Through the setting of the anti-cup-falling mechanism 3, the cup-splitting mechanism 4, the glue-spraying mechanism 5 and the spoon-sticking mechanism 6, the cup 2 passes through the above-mentioned mechanisms in sequence on the conveyor line 1, and the spoon-sticking is completed, thereby improving work efficiency; through the setting of the anti-cup-falling mechanism 3, the two side rods 7 and the top rod 8 play a restrictive role on the cup 2, preventing the cup 2 from tipping over and affecting the subsequent spoon-sticking; through the setting of the cylinder 9 and the baffle 10, the cups can be separated to prevent the cups 2 from being close together, resulting in omissions in the spoon-sticking and affecting the use; through the setting of the lifting frame 11, the height of the glue-spraying machine 13 can be adjusted to adapt to cups 2 of different heights, and prevent the spacing from being large, resulting in inaccurate glue spraying position; through the setting of the drum, a groove 17 is opened on the drum 15 according to the shape of the spoon, so that the spoon can fit completely on the drum 15, and then cut and stick on the drum 15.

[0025] The above is only a further embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and concept of the present invention within the scope disclosed by the present invention, which falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
