The outer side of the rotating plate 13 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped grooves 12 for driving the cups to move. A stack of stacked cups is placed in the circular groove 17. At this time, the first limit plate 19 will support the edge of the cup at the bottom, so that the cup is placed in the circular groove 17. Then, a transparent glass cover is used to cover the stacked cups. Then, the support assembly is used to make the stacked cups fall into the groove individually and enter the arc-shaped groove 12 on the rotating plate 13. Then, the driving assembly is used to drive the rotating plate 13 to rotate. The rotating plate 13 will drive the cup to move in a circle through the arc-shaped groove 12. At this time, since the top of the cup is in contact with the support frame 3, the cup mouth will be sealed to prevent dust in the air from entering the beverage cup and affecting the quality of the beverage, thereby improving the sealing of the filling equipment.

[0025] In the present invention, the support assembly includes a U-shaped frame 21, and a U-shaped groove 18 is opened on one side of the fixed frame 8 and is connected to the circular groove 17. The U-shaped frame 21 is slidably connected in the U-shaped groove 18. A first limit plate 19 and a second limit plate 20 are welded on both sides of the U-shaped frame 21, and the first limit plate 19 and the second limit plate 20 are staggered up and down. A power assembly for driving the U-shaped frame 21 to move is provided on one side of the fixed frame 8. The power assembly includes an L-shaped plate, which is welded to one side of the fixed frame 8 at a position below the U-shaped groove 18. Two electric push rods 16 are fixed to one side of the L-shaped plate by bolts, and one end of the telescopic part of the electric push rod 16 is fixed to the U-shaped frame 21. When the cup needs to fall, it is started The electric push rod 16 contracts, and the electric push rod 16 drives the U-shaped frame 21 to move in the U-shaped groove 18. The U-shaped frame 21 drives the first limiting plate 19 to move, so that the first limiting plate 19 is separated from the edge of the lowermost cup. At this time, the cup will fall downward slightly, so that the second limiting plate 20 supports the edge of the lowermost cup. Then the electric push rod 16 is started to extend, so that the U-shaped frame 21 is reset. At this time, the second limiting plate 20 is separated from the edge of the lowermost cup, and the first limiting plate 19 supports the edge of the upper cup. At this time, the lowermost cup falls into the groove on the housing 1 under the action of gravity and enters the arc-shaped groove 12 on the rotating plate 13;

[0026] In particular, the driving assembly includes a stepper motor, which is fixed to the bottom inner wall of the housing 1 by bolts. One end of the stepper motor output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft 14 through a coupling, and the rotating shaft 14 passes through the housing 1 and is fixed to the rotating plate 13. The filling assembly includes a tank body 6, a mounting frame is welded on the top of the support frame 3, and the tank body 6 is fixed in the mounting frame by bolts. A mounting hole is opened on the top of the support frame 3, and a filling head 11 is fixed in the mounting hole by bolts, and the bottom of the filling head 11 is flush with the support frame 3. An electric control valve 7 is provided on the outside of the filling head 11, and a hose is provided at the bottom of the tank body 6, and the hose is connected to the filling head 11. When the cup needs to be moved, the stepper motor is started, and the stepper motor drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate at intervals. The rotating shaft 14 drives the rotating plate 13 to rotate, and the rotating plate 13 drives the cup to move in a circle through the arc groove 12. When the cup moves to the bottom of the filling head 11, the other arc groove 12 moves to the bottom of the circular groove 17. At this time, the electric control valve 7 is opened to make the filling head 11 fill, and at the same time, the cup in the circular groove 17 falls into the other arc groove 12. When the filling is completed, the rotating plate 13 drives the cup to move, so that the filled cup moves to the bottom of the sealing port 4. The filling port 5 is provided on the top of the tank body 6, and a reduction motor is fixed to the top outer wall of the tank body 6 by bolts. One end of the reduction motor output shaft passes through the tank body 6 and is connected to the stirring frame 10 through a coupling. When the reduction motor is started, the reduction motor drives the stirring frame 10 to rotate. The stirring frame 10 stirs the beverage in the tank body 6 to prevent the beverage in the tank body 6 from settling, thereby ensuring the flavor of the beverage. A feeding platform 15 is provided on one side of the shell 1, which is bent upward. The feeding platform 15 The upward bend of the extends into the groove and is flush with the bottom of the groove, and the end of the feeding platform 15 is flush with the rotating plate 13. When the sealing is completed, the rotating plate 13 drives the cup to continue to move through the arc groove 12, so that the sealed cup moves to the feeding platform 15. Since the feeding platform 15 is inclined, the cup will slide downward along the inclination of the feeding platform 15 under the action of gravity and move out of the shell 1. A counter 2 is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the shell 1 near the feeding platform 15 by bolts. The counter 2 will count the cups that slide out through the feeding platform 15, which is convenient for the staff to count.

[0027] Working principle: When it is needed, put a stack of cups into the circular groove 17. At this time, the first limit plate 19 will support the edge of the cup at the bottom, so that the cup is placed in the circular groove 17. Then use a transparent glass cover to cover the stacked cups, and then start the electric push rod 16 to retract. The electric push rod 16 will drive the U-shaped frame 21 to move in the U-shaped groove 18. The U-shaped frame 21 will drive the first limit plate 19 to move, so that the first limit plate 19 is separated from the edge of the cup at the bottom. At this time, the cup will fall down slightly. Thereby, the second limiting plate 20 supports the rim of the lowermost cup, and then the electric push rod 16 is started to extend, so that the U-shaped frame 21 is reset. At this time, the second limiting plate 20 will be separated from the rim of the lowermost cup, and the first limiting plate 19 will support the rim of the upper cup. At this time, the lowermost cup will fall into the groove on the shell 1 under the action of gravity and enter the arc groove 12 on the rotating plate 13. Then the stepping motor is started, and the stepping motor drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate at intervals, and the rotating shaft 14 drives the rotating plate 13 to rotate. When the cup is moved to the bottom of the filling head 11, the other arc-shaped groove 12 will move to the bottom of the circular groove 17. At this time, the electric control valve 7 will be opened to enable the filling head 11 to fill the cup, and at the same time, the cup in the circular groove 17 will fall into the other arc-shaped groove 12. After the filling is completed, the rotating plate 13 drives the cup to move, so that the filled cup moves to the bottom of the sealing port 4, thereby sealing the filled cup through the sealing port 4. At the same time, another cup will move to the bottom of the filling head 11 for filling. When the sealing is completed, the rotating plate 13 drives the cup to continue to move through the arc groove 12, so that the sealed cup moves to the feeding platform 15. Since the feeding platform 15 is inclined, the cup will slide down along the inclination of the feeding platform 15 under the action of gravity and move out of the shell 1.

[0028] In addition, although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
