Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of transmission devices, and in particular relates to a transfer transmission device for continuous production of cup bodies. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the production process of beverage cups, after the cups are formed, it is usually necessary to stack multiple cups to a certain number, and then use a transfer device to transfer the stacked cups from one processing station to the next processing station.

[0003] Existing transfer transmission devices generally use conveyor belts. Especially when it comes to reversing transmission, they are composed of two sets of conveyor belts with different transmission directions. For example, a transfer transmission device composed of a horizontal conveyor belt for transverse transmission and a horizontal conveyor belt for longitudinal transmission connected from the end can realize automatic reversal and transmission of the cup body between the transverse and longitudinal directions.

[0004] However, in actual production, when stacked cups are transferred from one conveyor belt to another, inertia can easily cause the cups to separate and scatter, or even roll off the conveyor belt, resulting in unstable transmission and affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a new transfer transmission device for continuous production of cup bodies.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A transfer transmission device for continuous production of cup bodies, which includes a first transmission unit forming a first transmission direction and a second transmission unit forming a second transmission direction. The second transmission unit includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt extending along the second transmission direction and arranged side by side. A transmission space that gradually narrows from top to bottom is formed between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. The transmission space is connected to the discharge end of the first transmission unit. The cup body transmitted along the first transmission direction falls into the transmission space through the discharge end and synchronously collides with the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt from the outer wall. The first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt drive the cup body to be transmitted along the second transmission direction.

[0008] Preferably, the stacking direction of the plurality of cups is the same as the second transport direction, so as to facilitate the cups to fall accurately into the transport space.

[0009] Preferably, the first transmission direction and the second transmission direction are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0010] Preferably, the conveying surfaces formed by the first and second conveyor belts extend downwardly and inwardly from the outside, with a conveying space formed between the two conveying surfaces. When the cup falls into the conveying space, the outer wall of the cup is tangent to the two conveying surfaces. When the cup falls into the conveying space, the first and second conveyor belts provide enhanced support for the cup, thereby preventing deformation of the cup during transport.

[0011] Specifically, in the orthographic projection along the second conveying direction, the angle between the center of the cup and the line connecting the tangent points on the two conveying surfaces is 40° to 60°. This arrangement of the tangent points not only ensures that the cup will not bounce out when it falls into the conveying space, but also prevents it from getting stuck between the first and second conveyor belts.

[0012] Preferably, the second conveyor unit further includes a base and a tilting seat disposed on the base so as to tilt about a centerline in the second conveying direction. The first and second conveyor belts are respectively disposed on the tilting seat and are capable of tilting toward or away from the discharge end of the first conveyor unit. The top opening of the conveyor space can be flexibly adjusted in orientation based on the conveying speed of the cups in the first conveying direction, significantly increasing the probability that the cups will accurately land in the conveying space.

[0013] Preferably, the second conveying unit further includes a material-forming component disposed above the conveying space. As the cups are conveyed along the second conveying direction, the material-forming component presses down on the cups one by one, flattening them. If a cup is partially arched, the material-forming component presses down on the cups to ensure that they are aligned, thereby achieving precise feeding of the cups.

[0014] Specifically, the monolithic component includes a pressing wheel that freely rotates perpendicular to the second transmission direction. The structure is simple and easy to install and implement.

[0015] Furthermore, the whole material component also includes a lifting and adjusting frame fixed to one side of the first conveyor belt or the second conveyor belt, and the pressure wheel is movably connected to the lifting and adjusting frame, thereby flexibly meeting the transmission requirements of cups of different calibers.

[0016] Furthermore, the first conveying unit includes an endless conveyor belt and spacers spaced along the first conveying direction. A loading area extending in the direction of cup stacking is formed between each pair of adjacent spacers. The height of each spacer is 0.5 to 0.7 times the diameter of the cup, facilitating rapid ejection of the cups when they reach the end of the endless conveyor belt.

[0017] Due to the implementation of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] In the prior art, when stacked cup bodies are transferred from one conveyor belt to another, under the influence of inertia, it is easy for the cup bodies to separate and scatter, or even roll off the conveyor belt, resulting in unstable transmission and affecting production efficiency. The present application comprehensively designs the structure of a transfer transmission device for continuous production of cup bodies, cleverly solving the shortcomings and defects of the prior art. After adopting the transfer transmission device, the stacked cup bodies are placed on the first transmission unit and transmitted along the first transmission direction. When the cup bodies are output from the discharge end of the first transmission unit, the cup bodies can fall into the transmission space formed by the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, and under the transmission of the first and second conveyor belts, the cup bodies immediately change direction and are transmitted along the second transmission direction. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present invention uses a transmission space that gradually narrows from top to bottom, so that the cup bodies fall into the transmission space and implement reversal transmission based on the conflict between the cup bodies and the conveyor belts on both sides, which greatly reduces the influence of inertia and effectively improves the stability of the reversal transmission of multiple cup bodies in a stacked state, thereby helping to improve production efficiency.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the transfer transmission device for continuous production of cup bodies in this embodiment includes a first transmission unit 1 forming a first transmission direction and a second transmission unit 2 forming a second transmission direction.

[0031] Specifically, the first conveying direction and the second conveying direction are arranged perpendicularly to each other; the stacking direction of the plurality of cup bodies B is the same as the second conveying direction.

[0032] In this example, the first conveyor unit 1 includes an endless conveyor belt 10 and partitions 11 spaced apart along the first conveying direction. A loading area q0 extending along the stacking direction of the cups B is formed between each pair of adjacent partitions 11. Specifically, after a certain number of cups are stacked, they are placed in the corresponding loading area q0, extending along the first conveying direction.

[0033] Each partition 11 is 0.5 to 0.7 times the diameter of the cup B. This facilitates the rapid ejection of the cup B from the conveyor belt's discharge port. The partitions 11 can be made of a flexible material and, as the conveyor belt moves, can overlap the second transfer unit 2 to ensure smooth entry of the cup B.

[0034] In this example, the second transmission unit 2 includes a first conveyor belt 21 and a second conveyor belt 22 extending along the second transmission direction and arranged side by side, wherein a transmission space q1 that gradually narrows from top to bottom is formed between the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22, and the transmission space q1 is connected to the discharge end of the first transmission unit 1. The cup body B transmitted along the first transmission direction falls into the transmission space q1 through the discharge end of the first transmission unit 1 and synchronously collides with the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 from the outer wall, and the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 drive the cup body B to be transmitted along the second transmission direction.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, both first conveyor belt 21 and second conveyor belt 22 are conventional endless conveyor belts. The conveying surfaces formed by first conveyor belt 21 and second conveyor belt 22 extend downwardly and inwardly from the outside, forming a conveying space q1 between the two conveying surfaces. When the cup B falls into the conveying space q1, the outer wall of the cup B is tangent to the two conveying surfaces. When the cup falls into the conveying space, the first and second conveyor belts provide enhanced support for the cup, thereby preventing deformation of the cup during transport.

[0036] At the same time, in the orthographic projection along the second conveying direction, the angle between the center of the cup body B and the line connecting the tangent points on the two conveying surfaces is 40° to 60°. In this embodiment, the preferred angle is 45°. This arrangement of the tangent points not only ensures that the cup body will not bounce out when it falls into the conveying space, but also prevents the cup body from getting stuck between the first and second conveyor belts.

[0037] For ease of implementation, the second conveyor unit 2 also includes a base 23 and a tilting seat 24, which is tilted about the centerline in the second conveying direction. The first and second conveyor belts 21 and 22 are respectively mounted on the tilting seat 24 and can tilt toward or away from the discharge end of the first conveyor unit 1. The top opening of the conveyor space can be flexibly adjusted in direction based on the conveying speed of the cups in the first conveying direction, greatly improving the probability that the cups will accurately land in the conveying space.

[0038] The second conveyor unit 2 also includes a material-forming component 25 positioned above the conveying space. As the cups B are conveyed along the second conveying direction, the material-forming component 25 presses down and flattens each cup B. The material-forming component 24 comprises a pressure roller 250 that rotates freely perpendicular to the second conveying direction and a lifting and adjusting frame 251 secured to one side of the first conveyor belt 21 or the second conveyor belt 22. The pressure roller 250 is movably connected to the lifting and adjusting frame 251. If a cup is partially arched, the material-forming component presses down on it, ensuring that the cups are aligned and accurately fed. Furthermore, the pressure roller can be adjusted up and down to flexibly accommodate cups of varying diameters.

[0039] In summary, after adopting the transfer transmission device, the stacked cup bodies are placed on the first transmission unit and transmitted along the first transmission direction, and when the cup bodies are output from the discharge end of the first transmission unit, the cup bodies can fall into the transmission space formed by the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, and under the transmission of the first and second conveyor belts, the cup bodies immediately change direction and are transmitted along the second transmission direction; therefore, compared with the prior art, the present invention uses a transmission space that gradually narrows from top to bottom, so that the cup bodies fall into the transmission space and implement reversing transmission based on the conflict between the cup bodies and the conveyor belts on both sides, which greatly reduces the influence of inertia and effectively improves the stability of reversing transmission of multiple cup bodies in a stacked state. Which is conducive to improving production efficiency; secondly, when the cup body falls into the transmission space, the support of the first and second conveyor belts on both sides for the cup body is enhanced to avoid deformation of the cup body during transmission; thirdly, based on the layout of the tangent points on both sides, it not only ensures that the cup body will not pop out when it falls into the transmission space, but also prevents the cup body from getting stuck between the first and second conveyor belts; fourthly, according to the transmission speed of the cup body in the first transmission direction, the direction of the top opening of the transmission space is flexibly adjusted to greatly improve the probability of the cup body falling into the transmission space accurately; fifthly, if the cup body is partially arched, the cup body is pressed down by the whole material component to ensure that the cup bodies are neatly arranged to achieve accurate feeding of the cup body.

[0040] The above detailed description of the utility model is intended to enable people familiar with the technology in this field to understand the content of the utility model and implement it. It is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the utility model.
