Description

Technical field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of powder filling production, in particular to a material cup unloading device. [Background Technology]

[0002] When filling, the coffee capsules are placed on the filling conveyor line with the cup facing upwards. After filling, they need to be transported to the material conveyor line to be boxed to obtain boxed coffee capsules. The coffee capsules are placed on the material conveyor line with the cup facing downwards. Therefore, a related unloading device is required to complete both the transporting action and the flipping action. For example, the Chinese patent authorization announcement number CN205438569U discloses a swinging material picking robot, which includes a rotating cylinder, a swinging plate, a synchronous belt and a suction cup assembly; the rotating cylinder includes a fixed shaft and a cylinder head that can rotate around the fixed shaft, one end of the swinging plate is fixedly connected to the cylinder head so as to rotate around the fixed shaft with the cylinder head, and the suction cup assembly is rotatably provided on the other end of the swinging plate, and the suction cup assembly is connected to the fixed shaft through a synchronous belt. Although this solution can realize the transportation of products from one side to the other side, it cannot realize the flipping action of the product. Moreover, in this solution, the suction cup assembly is in the form of a cantilever beam, and unstable swinging will occur during the material picking process, and position deviation will occur when picking or releasing materials, which will affect the entire unloading process.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cup feeding device to solve the above technical problems. [Utility Model Content]

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a material cup unloading device, which can complete the unloading and flipping actions of the material cup, has a fast unloading rhythm, and can also avoid the phenomenon of unstable swinging during the material taking process.

[0005] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions: a material cup unloading device, which includes a mounting plate, a rotary drive assembly arranged on the mounting plate, a transmission shaft driven by the rotary drive assembly to rotate around a horizontal axis, and a pair of swinging shells fixed at one end to the transmission shaft and parallel to each other, a clamping and conveying mechanism rotatably arranged at the other end of the pair of swinging shells and clamping and conveying the material cup, and a buffer rotating assembly for receiving the material cup conveyed by the clamping and conveying mechanism and realizing the up and down flipping action of the material cup. The rotation transmission is realized between the transmission shaft and the clamping and conveying mechanism through a pair of synchronous pulley assemblies.

[0006] Furthermore, the clamping and transporting mechanism includes two rotating shafts respectively rotatably arranged on a pair of the swinging shells, a clamping claw mounting plate with both ends respectively fixed on the two rotating shafts, and a plurality of clamping components arranged on the clamping claw mounting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a first cylinder fixed on the clamp mounting plate and a pair of clamps driven by the first cylinder to perform clamping or opening actions.

[0008] Furthermore, a clamping groove for clamping the mouth of the material cup is provided at the lower end of the clamping jaw, and the shape of the clamping groove is consistent with the shape of the mouth of the material cup.

[0009] Furthermore, annular bosses protruding from the outer circumference of the transmission shaft are provided at both ends of the transmission shaft, and a mounting groove for accommodating the annular boss is provided on the swing housing. Corresponding threaded holes are provided on the annular boss and the mounting groove, and the annular boss is installed in the mounting groove by bolts to achieve fixed installation of one end of the swing housing and the transmission shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the synchronous pulley assembly is located inside the swing housing, and the synchronous pulley assembly includes synchronous pulleys fixed on the transmission shaft and the rotating shaft respectively, and a synchronous belt wrapped around the synchronous pulley to realize rotational transmission. A tensioning pulley is provided inside the swing housing to tension the synchronous belt.

[0012] Furthermore, the buffer plate is provided with a plurality of accommodating through holes for accommodating material cups.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the cup feeding device of the utility model are:

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The present embodiment is a cup feeding device, which includes a mounting plate 71, a rotary drive assembly 72 arranged on the mounting plate 71, a transmission shaft 73 driven by the rotary drive assembly 72 to rotate around a horizontal axis, and a pair of swinging shells 74 fixed at one end to the transmission shaft 73 and parallel to each other, a clamping and conveying mechanism 76 rotatably arranged at the other end of the pair of swinging shells 74 for clamping and conveying the cup, and a buffer rotating assembly 77 for receiving the cup conveyed by the clamping and conveying mechanism 76 and realizing the up and down flipping of the cup. The transmission shaft 73 and the clamping and conveying mechanism 76 are rotated by a pair of synchronous pulley assemblies 75 to realize rotation transmission.

[0028] The rotation drive assembly 72 can be driven by a cam or a motor, and the specific driving method is not limited, as long as it can drive the transmission shaft 73 to rotate.

[0029] The clamping and transporting mechanism 76 includes two rotating shafts 763 rotatably mounted on a pair of swinging housings 74, a clamping claw mounting plate 761 with its ends fixed to the two rotating shafts 761, and a plurality of clamping assemblies 762 mounted on the clamping claw mounting plate 761. The axes of the two rotating shafts 763 are located on the same horizontal line. The opposing outer ends of the two rotating shafts 763 are rotatably mounted on the swinging housings 74, while the opposing inner ends are fixed to the clamping claw mounting plates 761. Therefore, a swinging housing 74 is provided at each end of the clamping and transporting mechanism 76. The clamping and transporting mechanism 76 is located between the pair of swinging housings 74 and is driven to move by the pair of swinging housings 74. This ensures the stability of the movement of the clamping and transporting mechanism 76 and thus prevents unstable swinging during the material retrieving process.

[0030] The clamping assembly 762 includes a first cylinder 7621 fixed on the clamp mounting plate 761 and a pair of clamping jaws 7622 driven by the first cylinder 7621 to clamp or open.

[0031] The lower end of the clamping jaw 7622 is provided with a clamping groove 7623 for clamping the cup mouth of the material cup. The shape of the clamping groove 7623 is consistent with the cup mouth of the material cup, so that when a pair of clamping jaws 7622 are clamped on both sides of the material cup, the clamping groove 7623 can stably clamp the edge of the material cup to prevent the material cup from shaking during transportation.

[0032] Both ends of the transmission shaft 73 are provided with annular bosses 731 protruding from the outer circumference of the transmission shaft 73, and the swing housing 74 is provided with a mounting groove 741 for accommodating the annular boss 731. Corresponding threaded holes are provided on the annular boss 731 and the mounting groove 741. The annular boss 731 is installed in the mounting groove 741 by bolts, thereby realizing the fixed installation of one end of the swing housing 74 and the transmission shaft 73.

[0033] The synchronous pulley assembly 75 is located inside the swing housing 74. The synchronous pulley assembly 75 includes a synchronous pulley 751 fixed on the transmission shaft 73 and the rotating shaft 763 respectively, and a synchronous belt 752 wound around the synchronous pulley 751 to realize rotational transmission. A tensioning pulley 753 is provided inside the swing housing 74 to tighten the synchronous belt 752.

[0034] The cup is facing upward during filling, but needs to face downward on the material conveyor line (not shown in the figure). Therefore, the buffer rotating assembly 77 is provided to flip the cup upside down so that it automatically falls on the material conveyor line (not shown in the figure) with the cup facing downward.

[0035] The cache rotating assembly 77 includes a second cylinder 771 fixed on the mounting plate 71 and a cache plate 772 driven by the second cylinder 771 to rotate around a horizontal axis. The cache plate 772 is provided with a plurality of accommodating through holes 773 for accommodating material cups.

[0036] In this embodiment, six clamping and transporting mechanisms 76 are provided, which can clamp and transport six material cups at the same time. In other implementations, the number of the clamping and transporting mechanisms 76 can be set according to design conditions and is not limited here.

[0037] When the cup feeding device 7 provided by the present invention is used, the rotary drive assembly 72 drives the transmission shaft 73 to drive the swing housing 74 to swing to the top of the filling conveyor line on the left (not shown in the figure), and the first cylinder 7621 drives the clamping claw 7622 to open and clamp the sealed cup. Since the clamping and transporting mechanism 76 is rotatably arranged on the swing housing 74, when the swing housing 74 swings, the plurality of clamping assemblies 762 always remain in a vertical state, and the rotary drive assembly 72 drives the transmission shaft 73 to drive the swing housing 74 to swing to the top of the cache rotating assembly 77 on the right, and the first cylinder 7621 drives the clamping claw 7622 to open and place the cup into the accommodating through hole 773 on the cache plate 772, with the cup mouth facing upward and the cup mouth supported on the upper surface of the cache plate 772, and the second cylinder 771 drives the cache plate 772 to rotate 180 degrees to flip the cup up and down, so that the cup mouth of the cup automatically falls on the material conveyor line (not shown in the figure) with the cup mouth facing downward, thereby completing the feeding and cup flipping actions.

[0038] The above descriptions are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
