[0024] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a first servo motor 31, a turbine 32 and a worm 33; a shaft 34 is integrally formed at the bottom of the rotating table 2, and the rotating table 2 is rotatably connected to the inside of the operating table 1 through the shaft 34. The side wall of the shaft 34 is integrally formed with a turbine 32. The first servo motor 31 is fixedly installed inside the operating table 1, and the output end of the first servo motor 31 is connected to the worm 33 through a coupling. The worm 33 is meshed with the turbine 32; in this embodiment, the connection method of the shaft 34, the turbine 32, and the worm 33 is as follows Figure 5 As shown, when in use, the first servo motor 31 is started to drive the worm 33 to rotate, and the turbine 32 engaged therewith rotates, thereby driving the rotating platform 2 to rotate.

[0025] like Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a fixing seat 41, a second servo motor 42, a driving wheel 43, a fixing rod 44 and three driven wheels 45; the interior of the rotating table 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 41, the fixing seat 41 is a hollow structure, the bottom of the fixing seat 41 is fixedly installed with the second servo motor 42, the output end of the second servo motor 42 passes through the bottom wall of the fixing seat 41 and extends to the interior of the fixing seat 41 and is connected to the driving wheel 43, the interior of the fixing seat 41 is rotatably connected to the three driven wheels 45, the three driven wheels 45 are all meshed with the driving wheel 43, and the tops of the three driven wheels 45 are fixedly connected to the driving wheel 43.

This embodiment takes three driven wheels 45 as an example. Since the triangle is the most stable, the use of three driven wheels 45 and fixing rods 44 can ensure that each plastic beverage cup is fixed at a position centered on the axis of the driving wheel 43, avoiding printing misalignment due to movement or deformation. In the default state, the three driven wheels 45 are arranged in a "品" shape, and the three fixed rods 44 are all at the position closest to the axis of the driving wheel 43. At this time, the inner diameter of the plastic drink cup is larger than the inner diameter of the virtual circle formed by the three fixed rods 44. When the second servo motor 42 is started, it will drive the driving wheel 43 to rotate, and the three driven wheels 45 engaged with it will also rotate. The three fixed rods 44 will move along the arc-shaped slide 46 and stop when they reach the specified position. The three fixed rods 44 will fix the plastic drink cup from the inside. This design is also suitable for plastic drink cups of different sizes.
