Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of accessories for automatic vending machines, in particular to a filter paper bracket. Background Art
[0002] When vending machines sell freshly brewed beverages, the filter paper is typically supported by a filter paper holder. This holder prevents the filter paper from tilting during the filtration process. However, when dispensing filter paper holders from a vending machine, it is often necessary to separate the stacked holders and then dispense them one at a time. To prevent the holders from taking up too much space, the holders are stacked tightly together, making it difficult for the vending machine to separate the stacked holders. This creates design challenges for the machine's ability to automatically and stably dispense a single holder. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a filter paper holder, which can ensure that the filter paper holders are stacked on each other during storage, and can also be easily separated from each other through simple operations, so that the automatic equipment can output the filter paper holders in an orderly manner.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0005] A filter paper holder comprises a holder body, the top of the holder body having an opening, the top edge of the holder body extending outward to form an outer edge, the outer edge being thin-walled, the top surface of the outer edge having a thin-walled protrusion, and the back surface of the thin-walled protrusion forming a groove;
[0006] When two filter paper holders are stacked, the holder body of the upper filter paper holder is inserted into the inner cavity of the holder body of the lower filter paper holder, and the thin-wall protrusion of the lower filter paper holder is inserted into the groove of the upper filter paper holder, and the outer edge of the upper filter paper holder is spaced from the outer edge of the lower filter paper holder.
[0007] Preferably, the thin-walled protrusions and / or grooves are frustum-shaped structures.
[0008] Preferably, a first transition curved surface is formed at the connection between the side wall of the thin-walled protrusion and the outer edge.
[0009] Preferably, a second transition curved surface is provided at the connection between the top surface of the thin-walled protrusion and the side wall of the wall protrusion.
[0010] Preferably, a first transition curved surface is formed at the connection between the side wall of the thin-walled protrusion and the outer edge, and the first transition curved surface is a chamfered corner with a chamfer radius of R1;
[0011] A second transition curved surface is provided at the connection between the top surface of the thin-walled protrusion and the side wall of the wall protrusion. The second transition curved surface is chamfered, and the chamfer radius is R2;
[0012] And the condition is met, R2≥R1.
[0013] Preferably, the filter paper holder is a degradable paper cup or a plant fiber cup.
[0014] Preferably, there are multiple thin-wall protrusions, and they are arranged in a ring array.
[0015] Preferably, the cross section of the thin-walled protrusion is a waist-shaped surface.
[0016] The beneficial effects of using the utility model are:

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this technical solution more clear, the following technical solution is further described in detail in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of this technical solution.
[0027] In order to solve the problem that the filter paper holders in the prior art are tightly stacked to avoid taking up too much space, it is difficult for the vending machine to separate the stacked filter paper holders. Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a filter paper holder, the lower part of which is a holder body 10. The holder body 10 is generally conical or frustum-shaped, and has a large area of hollowing on the curved side walls and lower wall of the holder body 10. The function of the hollowing is to reduce the overall material used in the filter paper holder and reduce the weight. At the same time, the hollowing also serves as a channel for the filtered beverage to flow out.
[0028] The top of the bracket body 10 is open, and the top edge of the bracket body 10 extends horizontally outward to form an outer edge 20. Since the outer edge 20 is an integral structure with the bracket body 10, the outer edge 20 and the main body of the bracket body 10 are both thin-walled structures. The top surface of the outer edge 20 has a thin-walled protrusion 21, and the back surface of the thin-walled protrusion 21 forms a groove 22. In this embodiment, there are four thin-walled protrusions 21, which are arranged in a circular array with the axis of the bracket body 10 as the center. Each thin-walled protrusion 21 is a waist-shaped protrusion with a certain curvature.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the connection between the protrusion sidewall 211 of the thin-walled protrusion 21 and the outer edge 20 forms a second transition curved surface 213. The connection between the top surface of the thin-walled protrusion 21 and the sidewall of the thin-walled protrusion has a first transition curved surface 212.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, since the outer edge 20 and the thin-walled protrusion 21 are both thin-walled structures, there is a corresponding groove 22 on the back of each thin-walled protrusion 21. Figure 4 As shown, due to the existence of the second transition surface 213 , a third transition surface 222 is formed between the inner annular wall of the groove 22 and the lower surface of the outer edge 20 , that is, the back side of the second transition surface 213 corresponds to the third transition surface 222 .
[0031] When two filter paper holders are stacked, the holder body 10 of the upper filter paper holder is inserted into the cavity of the holder body 10 of the lower filter paper holder, and the thin-walled protrusion 21 of the lower filter paper holder is inserted into the groove 22 of the upper filter paper holder. Because the chamfer radius R1 of the first transition surface 212 is greater than the chamfer radius R2 of the second transition surface 213, a guide structure is formed between the first transition surface 212 of the thin-walled protrusion 21 and the third transition surface 222 of the groove 22, which can guide the lower thin-walled protrusion 21 into the upper groove 22. At the same time, when multiple filter paper holders are stacked, they are very stable and will not rotate relative to each other.
[0032] The filter paper holders in this embodiment are made of pulp or plant fiber. To maintain strength, the thin-walled filter paper holders are still thick. Therefore, when two filter paper holders are stacked, the thin-walled protrusions 21 on the lower side cannot fully enter the grooves 22 on the upper side. Consequently, the outer edge 20 of the upper filter paper holder is spaced apart from the outer edge 20 of the lower filter paper holder.
[0033] The filter paper holder is made of pulp or plant fiber and is molded through a series of processes. The production process does not generate any wastewater, has waterproof and oil-proof functions, and can be completely degraded within 45-90 days under natural conditions, causing no pollution to the environment.
[0034] The filter paper holder is designed with a thin-walled protrusion 21 when its outer edge 20 is formed. The back of the thin-walled protrusion 21 corresponds to a groove 22. When two filter paper holders are stacked, the thin-walled protrusion 21 of the lower filter paper holder is inserted into the groove 22 of the upper filter paper holder, and the outer edge 20 of the upper filter paper holder is separated from the outer edge 20 of the lower filter paper holder. When stored, the filter paper holders are stacked together. Because the outer edge 20 of the upper filter paper holder is separated from the outer edge 20 of the lower filter paper holder, the filter paper holders can be easily separated using simple equipment, facilitating the orderly output of the filter paper holders by automated equipment.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the filter paper holder is stored in a storage barrel 30 when in use, and the filter paper holders are stacked in the storage barrel 30 to save space. A bracket 40 is provided below the storage barrel for temporarily supporting the filter paper holder.
[0036] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, many changes can be made in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present technical content. As long as these changes do not deviate from the concept of the present invention, they all fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
