Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a vertical cup receiving mechanism of a cup stacking machine. Background Art

[0002] In the current packaging machinery design process, different styles of packaging containers, such as cup-shaped and bowl-shaped, need to be prepared, crushed, hot-melt formed, and then discharged during their production. The packaging containers after molding are generally in a single independent upward opening. To meet the needs of subsequent production, the completed individual packaging containers need to be stacked to save space and facilitate subsequent discharge. In order to improve the stacking efficiency, the packaging containers can be formed into an array distribution pattern through preliminary sorting. The packaging containers are adsorbed and placed into the cup receiver through a row of suction cups with the same array distribution, and large quantities are stacked simultaneously in a reciprocating cycle. However, the current cup receiving mechanism realizes the up and down movement of the suction cup by setting a cylinder or a drive at the upper end of the suction cup to achieve vertical displacement. This type of structure requires sufficient space on the top to operate normally, which will limit the applicability of the equipment in different production workshops. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a vertical cup receiving mechanism for a cup stacking machine, which realizes the vertical displacement of the suction cup by passing it through an inverted U-shaped lifting seat, and the driving motor is arranged in the frame and the lifting seat is driven to move by the linkage of the horizontal rod and the vertical rod, thereby reducing the top space occupied, so that the equipment can still be used in workshops with insufficient top space, and has strong applicability.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] A vertical cup receiving mechanism of a cup stacking machine comprises a frame, a cup receiving assembly and a cup receiver, wherein the cup receiving assembly comprises a vertical member, a horizontal member, a movable plate and a suction cup, wherein the vertical member is arranged on the frame, the horizontal member is arranged on the vertical member and is driven to perform vertical displacement, the movable plate is arranged on the horizontal member and is driven to perform horizontal displacement, and the suction cup is arranged at the lower end of the movable plate and faces the cup receiver on the frame.

[0006] The vertical component includes a lifting seat, a guide rail, a driving motor, a reducer, a transverse rod and a vertical rod. The driving motor is arranged on the frame, and the end of the driving motor is connected to the reducer and drives the transverse rod to rotate through the reducer. The end of the transverse rod is driven by the lower end of the vertical rod through a bevel gear set, and the upper end of the vertical rod is connected to the end of the lifting seat by a screw rod. Under the drive of the driving motor, the lifting seat makes vertical displacement on the guide rail; the lifting seat has an inverted U-shaped structure, and the guide rails include two groups, and the two groups of guide rails are respectively arranged on the left and right side walls of the frame, and the two ends of the lifting seat are respectively slidably connected to the two groups of guide rails; the vertical rod includes two groups, the transverse rod crosses the reducer and is driven by the lower ends of the two groups of vertical rods at its left and right ends through a bevel gear set, and the upper ends of the two groups of vertical rods are respectively connected to the two end ends of the lifting seat by a screw rod.

[0007] The transverse member includes a transverse seat, a rack, a moving motor, a slide rail and a slide seat, the rack is connected to the transverse seat, the moving motor is arranged on the lifting seat, the output end of the moving motor is meshed with the rack, the transverse seat is driven by the moving motor to perform transverse displacement, and the moving plate is arranged below the transverse seat; the slide rail is arranged at the lower end of the rack and the transverse seat, the slide seat is fixedly connected to the lifting seat, and the slide rail is fitted in the slide seat; the slide rail and the slide seat each include two groups, and the two groups of slide rails and slide seats are respectively arranged at the lower ends of the left and right ends of the transverse seat.

[0008] The vertical cup receiving mechanism of the cup stacking machine adopts this structure. In order to transfer and stack the packaging containers conveyed from the feeding conveyor, it is necessary to control the suction cup to rise, move horizontally, fall, absorb, rise, move horizontally, fall, and release to realize vertical stacking in the cup receiver. In the prior art, in order to realize the up and down movement of the suction cup, the cylinder is set at the upper end of the suction cup, which occupies the space above the suction cup. As a result, the lifting space of the cylinder above the suction cup needs to be considered during the up and down movement of the suction cup. Once the reserved space is insufficient, it will directly lead to the possibility of collision, which will at least affect the transfer of the packaging container and at worst cause damage to the equipment. Therefore, the driving motor is set in the frame, and the speed reducer is used to reduce the rotation rate of the driving transverse rod, while the transverse rod drives the rotation of the vertical rod through the bevel gear set. The upper end of the vertical rod is connected to the end of the lifting seat by a screw rod. Therefore, during the rotation of the vertical rod, the lifting seat can be driven to rise or fall on the guide rail. Since the lifting seat is an inverted U-shaped structure, if only one end of the lifting seat is driven, the lifting process will not be smooth enough. Therefore, the transverse rod is placed horizontally in the speed reducer, and the two ends of the transverse rod respectively drive the two sets of vertical rods, which rise or fall synchronously from both ends of the lifting seat, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the lifting seat.

[0009] In addition to lifting, lateral displacement is also related to the stable stacking of the packaging containers, especially the span of the lateral displacement, if the stable lateral displacement cannot be ensured, the production efficiency will be affected, therefore, through the connection of the rack and the lateral displacement seat, the rack can be moved along the lateral direction under the driving of the moving motor, so that the lateral displacement seat is also displaced, since the connection of the ends of the rack and the lateral displacement seat cannot ensure the stable displacement, therefore, the slide rail is arranged at the lower end of the rack and the lateral displacement seat, so that the rack, the lateral displacement seat and the slide rail are connected as a whole, the structure is more stable, and the slide seat is fixed on the lifting seat, therefore, the lateral displacement can be more stable under the driving of the moving motor, and the accuracy of the placement position of the packaging containers during movement is higher.

[0010] Further, the suction cups comprise a plurality of groups, and the plurality of suction cups are arranged in a display manner at the lower end of the moving plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that: the driving motor is arranged in the rack, the rotation rate of the driving lateral rod is reduced by the speed reducer, the lifting seat can be lifted or lowered on the guide rail during the rotation of the vertical rod driven by the lateral rod, the two ends of the lateral rod drive two groups of vertical rods respectively, the two ends of the lifting seat are lifted or lowered synchronously, so that the stable operation of the lifting seat is ensured, the rack, the lateral displacement seat and the slide rail are connected as a whole, the structure is more stable, and the slide seat is fixed on the lifting seat, so that the lateral displacement can be more stable under the driving of the moving motor, and the accuracy of the placement position of the packaging containers during movement is higher.

[0026] Furthermore, the suction cups 24 include several groups, and the suction cups 24 are distributed in an array at the lower end of the movable plate 23 .

[0027] Description of the working method of this utility model:

[0028] The vertical cup receiving mechanism of the cup stacking machine adopts this structure, in order to transfer and stack the packaging containers conveyed from the feeding conveyor, firstly, the structure of the cup receiver 3 is a cylindrical structure, and the diameter of the upper opening is larger than that of the lower opening, so that the packaging containers can enter from the top and bottom, but cannot pass through from the bottom and are restricted, to prevent falling and facilitate transportation. This structure is a commonly used existing technology and will not be described in detail. Secondly, it is necessary to control the suction cup 24 to rise, move horizontally, fall, absorb, rise, move horizontally, fall, and release to achieve vertical stacking in the cup receiver 3. In the prior art, in order to achieve the up and down lifting of the suction cup 24, the cylinder is set at the upper end of the suction cup 24, which occupies the space above the suction cup 24. As a result, in the process of the suction cup 24 moving up and down, the cylinder lifting space above it needs to be considered. Once the space is not reserved enough, it will directly lead to the possibility of collision, which will at least affect the transfer of the packaging container and at worst cause damage to the equipment. Therefore, the drive motor 213 is set in the frame 1, through The speed reducer 214 is used to reduce the rotation speed of the driving horizontal rod 215, and the horizontal rod 215 drives the rotation of the vertical rod 216 through the bevel gear set 217. The upper end of the vertical rod 216 is connected to the end of the lifting seat 211 by a screw. Since the driving method of the screw is to convert the rotational motion into linear motion, the principle is that the end of the upper end of the vertical rod 216 is provided with a thread, and an internal threaded hole for screwing is provided at one end of the lifting seat 211. This structure belongs to the existing technology, so how to achieve the driving will not be described here. In the process of rotating the vertical rod 216, the lifting seat 211 can be driven to rise or fall on the guide rail 212. Since the lifting seat 211 is an inverted U-shaped structure, if only one end of the lifting seat 211 is driven, the lifting process will not be smooth enough. Therefore, the transverse rod 215 is placed horizontally in the reducer 214. The two ends of the transverse rod 215 respectively drive two groups of vertical rods 216, which rise or fall synchronously from both ends of the lifting seat 211, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the lifting seat 211.

[0029] In addition to lifting, lateral displacement is also related to the smooth stacking of packaging containers, especially when the span of lateral displacement is long. If smooth lateral displacement cannot be guaranteed, it will affect production efficiency. Therefore, through the connection between the rack 222 and the transverse displacement seat 221, the rack 222 can be moved in the transverse direction under the drive of the mobile motor 223, so that the transverse displacement seat 221 is also displaced. Since the end connection between the rack 222 and the transverse displacement seat 221 cannot ensure its smooth displacement, a slide rail 224 is added to the lower end of the rack 222 and the transverse displacement seat 221, so that the rack 222, the transverse displacement seat 221 and the slide rail 224 are connected as one, and the structure is more stable. The slide seat 225 is fixed on the lifting seat 211, so it can be moved more smoothly under the drive of the mobile motor 223, ensuring that the placement accuracy of the packaging container during the movement is higher.

[0030] Several groups of suction cups 24 distributed in a vertical and horizontal array can absorb more packaging containers at one time. At the same time, the cup holder 3 is also provided with several groups with the same distribution as the suction cups 24, so that more cups can be stacked each time, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0031] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that by arranging the driving motor 213 in the frame 1, the speed reducer 214 reduces the rotation rate of the driving transverse rod 215. In the process of the transverse rod 215 driving the vertical rod 216 to rotate, the lifting seat 211 can be driven to rise or fall on the guide rail 212. The two ends of the transverse rod 215 respectively drive two groups of vertical rods 216, which rise or fall synchronously from the two ends of the lifting seat 211, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the lifting seat 211. The rack 222, the transverse seat 221 and the slide rail 224 are connected as a whole, and the structure is more stable. The slide 225 is fixed on the lifting seat 211, so it can move laterally more smoothly under the drive of the moving motor 223, ensuring that the placement accuracy of the packaging container during the movement is higher.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
