Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cup cover droppers, in particular to an automatic cup cover dropper. Background Art

[0002] A water dispenser is a device that heats or cools bottled pure water to make it convenient for people to drink, and a cap dropper is a component in the water dispenser that is used to drop the paper cup inside it to the water receiving platform.

[0003] However, the existing cap dropper still has some disadvantages in actual use. For example, there are many connecting parts in the existing cap dropper, so there are disadvantages such as large idle stroke, large transmission error and asynchronous movement during actual operation. At the same time, too many parts are time-consuming and labor-intensive to process and install, and also increase costs.

[0004] In the previous patent 202120702068.X, a cover dropper was disclosed, including an upper cover and a lower cover. A transmission gear is provided inside the lower cover. There are connecting parts and connecting gears inside the lower cover. One end of the connecting part is plugged into the bayonet of the lower cover, and the other end of the connecting part is used to fix the connecting gear. The connecting gear is meshed with the transmission gear, and multiple cup dropping gears are provided inside the lower cover.

[0005] In this patent, the structure of the cup-dropping gear can be seen from the figure. A spiral plate is provided on the outer edge of the cup-dropping gear. The cup-dropping gear rotates to move the edge of the cup downward along the spiral plate to achieve the dropping of the cup. However, in actual use, the structure of the cup-dropping gear makes it easy for paper cups to get stuck and cannot fall smoothly. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides an automatic cup and lid dropper, which effectively solves the problem that paper cups cannot fall smoothly.

[0007] The technical solution to the technical problem is: an automatic cup and cover dropper, including an annular upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate, the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate are fixedly connected by multiple support columns, and multiple cover drop wheels are detachably mounted on the lower mounting plate, and the multiple cover drop wheels are synchronously driven by a transmission belt. A driving motor is provided on the lower mounting plate, and the driving motor is connected to the transmission belt. Upper fan plates and lower fan plates are spaced apart on the cover drop wheels, and the upper fan plates and the lower fan plates are semicircular structures and do not overlap in the vertical direction.

[0008] Preferably, a micro switch is provided on the upper mounting plate, and the micro switch is electrically connected to the drive motor.

[0009] Preferably, the support column is connected to the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate via screws.

[0010] Preferably, a flange is fixed on the lower mounting plate, and the flange is rotatably connected to the cover-dropping wheel.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission belt is a chain, and teeth cooperating with the chain are provided on the outer side of the cover-dropping wheel.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission belt is an inner gear ring, and a gear meshing with the inner gear ring is provided on the outer side of the cover-dropping wheel.

[0013] The utility model has a simple and ingenious structure and is easy to use. After the cover-dropping wheel is redesigned, the upper fan plate and the lower fan plate that do not overlap with each other are used to limit and separate the cup, thereby ensuring that the cup drops smoothly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 2 The utility model is a structural schematic diagram of a cover-dropping wheel in an automatic cup and cover-dropping device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The specific implementation of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Depend on Figures 1 to 2 It can be seen that an automatic cup and cover dropping device includes an annular upper mounting plate 1 and a lower mounting plate 2, which are fixedly connected by a plurality of support columns 3. A plurality of cover dropping wheels 4 are detachably mounted on the lower mounting plate 2, and the plurality of cover dropping wheels 4 are synchronously driven by a transmission belt 5. A driving motor 6 is provided on the lower mounting plate 2, and the driving motor 6 is connected to the transmission belt 5 for transmission. An upper fan plate 7 and a lower fan plate 8 are arranged at intervals on the cover dropping wheel 4, and the upper fan plate 7 and the lower fan plate 8 are semicircular structures and do not overlap in the vertical direction.

[0018] When the utility model is used,

[0019] The equipment is assembled and then fixed in the required place. Cups and other items are placed in the internal cavity and cooperate with the cover-dropping wheel 4. When in use, the drive motor 6 is started, and the transmission belt 5 drives multiple cover-dropping wheels 4 to rotate synchronously. The edge of the lowest cup is located between the upper fan plate 7 and the lower fan plate 8. When the cover-dropping wheel 4 rotates 180°, the lower fan plate 8 rotates to the outside of the lower mounting plate 2 and no longer contacts the edge of the cup. The cup can fall smoothly, and the upper fan plate 7 is inserted above the lowest cup to support the cup above. Then the cover-dropping wheel 4 continues to rotate, the upper fan plate 7 rotates to the outside of the lower mounting plate 2, the cup falls, and the lower fan plate 8 rotates to the inside of the lower mounting plate 2 to support the lowest cup, completing a cycle. Whenever a cup needs to be used, the drive motor 6 is started, and a cycle is completed to achieve the dropping of a cup.

[0020] In this device, the edges of the upper fan plate 7 and the lower fan plate 8 are provided with wedge-shaped surfaces, which are convenient for being inserted between two adjacent cups, thereby supporting the upper cup.

[0021] A micro switch 9 is provided on the upper mounting plate 1. The micro switch 9 is electrically connected to the drive motor 6. The drive motor 6 is controlled by the micro switch 9. The micro switch 9 has the characteristics of small contact spacing, short action stroke, small pressing force, and fast switching. When in use, the equipment can be operated with just a light touch, which is convenient to use.

[0022] The support column 3 is connected to the upper mounting plate 1 and the lower mounting plate 2 by screws. A flange 10 is fixed on the lower mounting plate 2. The flange 10 is rotatably connected to the cover-dropping wheel 4. The distance between the upper fan plate 7 and the lower fan plate 8 of the cover-dropping wheel 4 is selected according to the items to be dropped. The length of the support column 3 is adapted to the specifications of the cover-dropping wheel 4, so as to achieve smooth drop of the covers on the items.

[0023] The transmission belt 5 has various forms to achieve the synchronous rotation of multiple cover-dropping wheels 4, for example:

[0024] 1. When the transmission belt 5 is a chain, teeth cooperating with the chain are provided on the outside of the cover-dropping wheel 4 (not shown in the figure). The driving motor 6 drives the chain to make multiple cover-dropping wheels 4 rotate synchronously to achieve smooth cover dropping.

[0025] 2. When the transmission belt 5 is an inner gear ring, a gear (not shown in the figure) meshing with the inner gear ring is provided on the outer side of the cover-dropping wheel 4. The driving motor 6 drives the inner gear ring to rotate, so that multiple cover-dropping wheels 4 rotate synchronously to achieve smooth cover dropping.

[0026] This device can not only be used for dropping cups, but can also be applied to scenes where various round objects are dropped one after another, such as bowls in a restaurant, which can be dropped one after another to achieve the purpose of taking the bowls.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the structure of the cover-dropping wheel is improved, and an upper fan plate and a lower fan plate are arranged on the outer side of the cover-dropping wheel, so that the cup body can be separated, limited and dropped by rotation, thereby ensuring the smooth falling off of the cup body.
