[0014] (3) Beneficial effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a transfer device for processing disposable paper cups, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. By setting up an incomplete gear and rack drive component, when loading is required, the lifting component drives the stretching component to move upward. After the stretching component contacts the rack drive component, it will use its own vertical movement to drive the rack drive component to move horizontally. When the rack drive component moves horizontally, it will drive the incomplete gear meshing with it to rotate. The incomplete gear rotates on the support rod and drives the material placement plate connected to it to rotate, causing the material placement plate to rotate outward 90 degrees and expand. This achieves the purpose of expanding the material placement plate during loading and unloading, making it easier for the robotic arm to load and unload materials, reducing manual labor intensity, and improving transfer efficiency.
[0017] 2. By setting a stretching component, an inclined structure corresponding to the rack drive component is provided in the stretching component.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] See also Figure 1-4, a transfer device for processing disposable paper cups, including a mobile base 1, a lifting component 6 and two support rods 2 are provided on the mobile base 1, the top of the lifting component 6 is connected to the top of the support rod 2, and the two support rods 2 are rotatably connected with an incomplete gear 4, a material placing plate 5 is provided on the side of the incomplete gear 4, a rack driving component 3 is meshed between the incomplete gears 4, and a supporting component 9 is provided on the side of the support rod 2 for supporting the rack driving component 3. A stretching component 8 for driving the rack driving component 3 to move horizontally is provided in the lifting component 6, and a coil spring 10 is provided on the incomplete gear 4. The other end of the coil spring 10 is connected to the support rod 2;
[0025] In the present invention, an incomplete gear 4 and a rack drive component 3 are provided. When loading is required, the lifting component 6 drives the stretching component 8 to move upward. After the stretching component 8 contacts the rack drive component 3, it will use its own vertical movement to drive the rack drive component 3 to move horizontally. When the rack drive component 3 moves horizontally, it will drive the incomplete gear 4 meshed with it to rotate. The incomplete gear 4 rotates on the support rod 2 and drives the material placing plate 5 connected thereto to rotate, so that the material placing plate 5 rotates outward 90 degrees, so that the material placing plate 5 is unfolded, realizing the purpose of unfolding the material placing plate 5 when loading and unloading, facilitating the loading and unloading work of the robot arm, reducing the labor intensity of manual labor, and improving the efficiency of transfer.
[0026] It should be further explained that the coil spring 10 provided on the incomplete gear 4 can limit its position, that is, when the incomplete gear 4 rotates outward, the coil spring 10 will be driven and is in a potential energy storage state. When the rack drive component 3 loses the driving force on the incomplete gear 4, the coil spring 10 will release its own elastic force and rotate the incomplete gear 4 to reset, so that the loading plate 5 can automatically reset after the loading is completed.
[0027] The lifting component 6 includes a fixed frame 601, the bottom end of the fixed frame 601 is connected to the mobile base 1, and the top end is connected to the support rod 2. A slide rod 602 and a screw rod 603 are provided in the fixed frame 601. A motor 604 is provided on the screw rod 603. The screw rod 603 is threadedly engaged with the stretching component 8 and vertically slides with the slide rod 602;
[0028] By setting the sliding rod 602 and the screw rod 603, the screw rod 603 can cooperate with the thread of the stretching component 8, and then use its own rotation to drive the stretching component 8 to move vertically up and down, thereby achieving the purpose of lifting and lowering the stretching component 8, and the sliding rod 602 can limit the position of the stretching component 8, so that the stretching component 8 always maintains a straight position during the rising and falling process, ensuring the stability and firmness of the up and down movement of the stretching component 8.
[0029] The rack drive component 3 includes a bidirectional rack 301, which is meshed with the incomplete gear 4. A connecting rod 302 is provided on the end surface of the bidirectional rack 301. The connecting rod 302 is arranged in the support component 9. A pin 303 is provided on the end surface of the connecting rod 302. A roller 304 is rotatably provided on the side of the pin 303. The roller 304 is in contact with the stretching component 8.
[0030] By setting up a two-way rack 301 and a roller 304, the two-way rack 301 can use its own horizontal movement to drive the incomplete gears 4 meshing on both sides to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the material loading plate 5 to unfold through the incomplete gear 4, and using the transmission method of the two-way rack 301, the two incomplete gears 4 can be rotated towards and away from each other, thereby achieving the purpose of synchronous unfolding and closing of the material loading plates 5 at the same level, and the roller 304 at the tail end of the connecting rod 302 is hinged to it by rotation, so that it can rotate itself, and the rotation is used to reduce the friction when the stretching component 8 is pushed, so that the movement of the connecting rod 302 and the two-way rack 301 is smoother, and the wear of the rack driving component 3 and the stretching component 8 in the linked state is reduced.
[0031] The stretching component 8 includes a lifting frame 801, which is threadedly engaged with the screw rod 603 and vertically slides with the slide rod 602. A connecting frame 802 is provided on the side of the lifting frame 801, and an inclined frame 803 is provided on the connecting frame 802. The inclined frame 803 is in contact with the roller 304;
[0032] By setting up the inclined bracket 803, the inclined bracket 803 is connected to the lifting frame 801 by the connecting frame 802, so that it can move up and down with the lifting frame 801, and the position of the center of the inclined bracket 803 corresponding to the connecting rod 302 is set to be through, so that it can fit with the side of the roller 304. When the inclined bracket 803 moves up or down, the straight surface of the inclined bracket 803 will first fit with the outer side of the roller 304 and hook the roller 304. Then, as the inclined bracket 803 continues to move, its inclined surface gradually begins to squeeze the roller 304. Since the connecting rod 302 can only slide horizontally under the restriction of the support component 9, the roller 304 can only move horizontally by pulling the connecting rod 302 through the pin shaft 303 after being squeezed, and the connecting rod 302 pulls the bidirectional rack 301 to move, thereby achieving the effect of the bidirectional rack 301 driving the incomplete gear 4;
[0033] It should be further explained that the inclined bracket 803 is arranged in the same manner at the upper and lower ends so that both its ascent and descent can trigger the rack drive component 3 .
[0034] A groove 804 is formed at the center of the inclined bracket 803, and the groove 804 fits in with the outer side surface of the roller 304;
[0035] By providing the groove 804, the groove 804 is located at the peak position of the inclined bracket 803. When the roller 304 moves to this position, the surface connecting rod 302 has pulled the bidirectional rack 301 to the end. At the same time, the incomplete gear 4 in this state is also driven to rotate 90 degrees and unfold. The roller 304 can be clamped by the groove 804, so that the rack drive component 3 can be stably fixed. Correspondingly, it can ensure that the incomplete gear 4 and the material loading plate 5 are in a stable state when unfolded, preventing the problem of shaking.
[0036] The support component 9 includes a support plate 901, which is arranged on the side of the support rod 2. The support plate 901 is provided with a sliding sleeve 902, which slides with the connecting rod 302;
[0037] By setting a support plate 901 and a sliding sleeve 902, the support plate 901 can be connected to the side of the support rod 2, and the sliding sleeve 902 set at the front end is used to cooperate with the connecting rod 302. The sliding sleeve 902 is used to support the connecting rod 302 and does not limit the horizontal movement of the connecting rod 302. After being pushed, the roller 304 at the tail end of the connecting rod 302 can convert the push into a horizontal driving force, so that the connecting rod 302 can achieve the purpose of horizontally pulling the two-way rack 301, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the two-way rack 301.
[0038] The support plate 901 is provided with a slide rail 904, and a movable plate 903 is slidably connected to the slide rail 904. The movable plate 903 is fixedly connected to the connection portion between the bidirectional rack 301 and the connecting rod 302. A spring 905 is provided between the movable plate 903 and the support plate 901;
[0039] By providing the slide rail 904 and the movable plate 903, the movable plate 903 can slide horizontally on the slide rail 904, and the top end of the movable plate 903 is fixedly connected to the two-way rack 301 and the connecting rod 302. When the connecting rod 302 pulls the two-way rack 301 to move, the movable plate 903 will move synchronously on the slide rail 904. In this way, the center position of the connecting rod 302 and the two-way rack 301 can be effectively supported, avoiding the problem of the far end easily falling due to the excessive length of the two-way rack 301 and the connecting rod 302, further ensuring the smooth movement of the rack drive component 3.
[0040] It should be further explained that the spring 905 on the support plate 901 can stabilize the position of the movable plate 903. When the movable plate 903 is driven to move, the spring 905 is compressed and automatically pushes the movable plate 903 to return to its original position after the connecting rod 302 releases its force.
[0041] A slot 7 is provided on the loading plate 5, and the size of the slot 7 is the same as the diameter of the paper cup;
[0042] By providing the card slot 7, the card slot 7 on the material placing plate 5 can limit the position of the paper cup, so that when the paper cup is placed and transferred, the stability of the paper cup can be guaranteed and the problem of the paper cup sliding can be avoided.
[0043] Working principle:
[0044] When it is necessary to place paper cups on the loading plate 5, the motor 604 drives the lifting frame 801 to move vertically through the screw rod 603, and the lifting frame 801 drives the inclined frame 803 to move through the connecting frame 802. When the inclined frame 803 moves vertically, the inclined surface is used to squeeze the roller 304. After the roller 304 is squeezed, it drives the connecting rod 302 to move through the pin shaft 303. The connecting rod 302 moves horizontally under the restriction of the sliding sleeve 902 and pulls the two-way rack 301. When the two-way rack 301 moves, it drives the meshed incomplete gear 4 on both sides to rotate. When the incomplete gear 4 rotates, it drives the loading plate 5 to unfold and stores energy in the coil spring 10. After the loading plate 5 is unfolded, the robotic arm can be used for batch loading.
[0045] After the paper cups are placed, the inclined frame 803 continues to be vertical, and the above movement is repeated to trigger the loading plates 5 of the remaining layers. At the same time, the symmetrically arranged inclined surfaces of the inclined frame 803 will slowly release the pressure on the roller 304, so that the coil spring 10 can slowly release its own elastic force and drive the incomplete gear 4 and the two-way rack 301 to reset, thereby resetting the loading plate 5.
[0046] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications based on the present invention that solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
