Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service coffee machines, and more specifically, to a cup lid mounting structure. Background Technology
[0002] Self-service coffee machines are typically placed in public places such as offices, airports, train stations, and shopping malls, allowing users to obtain coffee independently. With the advancement of technology and the improvement of consumer demand, the coffee machine industry is developing towards a more intelligent and automated direction.
[0003] However, traditional self-service coffee machines often rely on users to manually place the lid on the cup or use simple mechanical structures to assist in placement, but they lack a proper lid installation mechanism. If the lid is not installed correctly, coffee may spill out during movement or when the user picks up the coffee, increasing the risk of burns.
[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing a cup lid mounting structure. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem that traditional self-service coffee machines currently lack a cup lid installation structure.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives and improve the above-mentioned problems, this utility model provides a cup lid mounting structure, including a mounting base. The top of the mounting base is provided with a driving component, and both sides of the driving component are provided with sliding components. The top of the driving component is provided with a connecting frame, and the front end of the connecting frame is provided with a pressing ring. The sliding components are provided with mounting components on the side away from the driving component. The sliding components and the mounting components are connected by a transmission component, and the mounting components are provided with a positioning component inside.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the driving component includes a motor fixed to the top of the mounting base, and the sliding assembly includes two sliding cylinders located on both sides of the motor. The sliding cylinders are fixedly connected to the mounting base, and a sliding rod is slidably provided inside the sliding cylinder.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the connecting frame includes a connecting rod fixedly connected to two sliding rods, an mounting cylinder is fixedly provided at the top end of the connecting rod, a connecting plate is fixedly provided at the top end of the mounting cylinder, and one end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to a pressing ring.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bottom end of the connecting rod is provided with a threaded cylinder, the bottom end of the mounting cylinder passes through the interior of the connecting rod and is threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder, and the threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a connecting column is fixedly provided on the side of the slide cylinder away from the motor, and a transition column is fixedly provided at the top of the connecting column, and a transition ring is rotatably connected to the outside of the transition column.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the mounting assembly includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to one side of the adapter post, a support plate fixedly provided at the bottom end of the mounting plate, the support plate being fixedly connected to the mounting base, and an arc-shaped cylinder fixedly provided on one side of the mounting plate.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the positioning component includes an arc-shaped slide rod that is slidably connected to the inside of the arc-shaped cylinder, an arc-shaped grip rod is fixedly provided at the end of the arc-shaped slide rod, and an adapter rod is fixedly provided between the arc-shaped slide rod and the adapter ring.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the transmission component includes two transmission pipes, which are respectively located between the slide cylinders on both sides and the arc-shaped cylinder. One end of the transmission pipe is fixedly connected to the interior of the slide cylinder, and the other end of the transmission pipe is fixedly connected to the interior of the arc-shaped cylinder.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the top of the connecting plate is provided with a reinforcing component, the reinforcing component includes a reinforcing plate fixed to the top of the connecting plate, a triangular plate is fixedly provided at the front end of the reinforcing plate, and the bottom end of the triangular plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] In the scheme of this application:
[0017] 1. By using a connecting frame and a pressing ring, the connecting frame and pressing ring are driven by a drive component to press down. The sliding component then drives the positioning component to hold the cup body, thereby moving the cup body under the pressing ring. The pressing ring continues to press down to press the cup body and lid together, improving the automation of the self-service coffee machine. This gives the self-service coffee machine a structure that can install the cup body and lid properly, preventing coffee from splashing out during movement or when the user takes it out due to the lid not being installed correctly. This solves the problem that traditional self-service coffee machines in the prior art lack a lid installation structure.
[0018] 2. By setting up the installation component and the positioning component, the positioning component is moved by the sliding component, so that the cup body is moved directly under the pressing ring and the cup body is fixed. This solves the problem that the pressing ring may not be able to press the cup lid tightly onto the cup body due to the positional deviation of the cup body in the prior art. It also avoids the problem that the cup body and the cup lid may be displaced during the pressing process.
[0019] 3. By using the transmission component, the alignment component can be driven to move through the sliding component and the transmission component when the connecting frame moves, which reduces manufacturing and operating costs. It eliminates the need for multiple drive devices and solves the problem of high manufacturing costs in the existing cup lid installation structure. Attached Figure Description

[0030] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A cup lid mounting structure is provided with a driving component at the top of the mounting base 1. The driving component is used to drive the entire structure to operate. Sliding components 2 are provided on both sides of the driving component. The sliding components 2 play a limiting role. A connecting frame 4 is provided at the top of the driving component. A pressing ring 601 is provided at the front end of the connecting frame 4. The pressing ring 601 is driven to move down by the driving component, thereby pressing the cup body and the cup lid together.
[0033] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving component includes a motor 301 fixed to the top of the mounting base 1. Starting the motor 301 drives the connecting frame 4 to move up and down through the sliding assembly 2. The sliding assembly 2 includes two sliding cylinders 21 located on both sides of the motor 301. The sliding cylinders 21 are fixedly connected to the mounting base 1. A sliding rod 22 is slidably connected inside the sliding cylinder 21. The sliding rod 22 is used to connect with the connecting frame 4 and also serves as a limiter through its sliding connection with the sliding cylinder 21.
[0034] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting frame 4 includes a connecting rod 41 fixedly connected to two sliding rods 22. The connecting rod 41 is used to connect the connecting frame 4 to the sliding assembly 2 so that it will not be driven to rotate by the motor 301. The top end of the connecting rod 41 is fixedly provided with a mounting cylinder 42, which is used to connect with the driving component. The top end of the mounting cylinder 42 is fixedly provided with a connecting plate 43, and one end of the connecting plate 43 is fixedly connected to the pressing ring 601.
[0035] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the connecting rod 41 is provided with a threaded cylinder 302. The bottom end of the mounting cylinder 42 passes through the interior of the connecting rod 41 and is threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder 302. When the threaded cylinder 302 rotates, it drives the connecting frame 4 to move up and down. The threaded cylinder 302 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 301, and the motor 301 drives the threaded cylinder 302 to rotate.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] The cup lid mounting structure provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a rotating component 8 is provided on the side of the sliding component 2 away from the driving component. The sliding component 2 and the rotating component 8 are connected by a transmission component, which is used to transmit kinetic energy to the interior of the rotating component 8. A positioning component 9 is provided inside the rotating component 8. The positioning component 9 is driven to slide inside the rotating component 8 by the change in air pressure inside the sliding component 2. The positioning component 9 slides towards the center to hold the cup body and calibrate the position of the cup body so that it can be smoothly moved down by the pressing ring 601 to press the cup lid tightly onto the cup body.
[0038] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting column 81 is fixedly provided on the side of the slide cylinder 21 away from the motor 301. A transition column 85 is fixedly provided at the top of the connecting column 81. The transition column 85 is used to connect with the rotating component 8. A transition ring 10 is rotatably connected to the outside of the transition column 85. The transition ring 10 is used to connect with the alignment component 9. The inside of the slide cylinder 21 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 22 through a piston. When the sliding rod 22 slides up and down, it drives the air pressure inside the slide cylinder 21 to change, and then drives the alignment component 9 to move through the transmission component.
[0039] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating assembly 8 includes a mounting plate 82 fixedly connected to one side of the adapter post 85. The mounting plate 82 is not connected to the adapter ring 10. A support plate 84 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the mounting plate 82. The support plate 84 is used to increase the stability of the rotating assembly 8 and make it more securely installed. The support plate 84 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1. An arc-shaped cylinder 83 is fixedly provided on one side of the mounting plate 82. The arc-shaped cylinder 83 is used to connect with the transmission component.
[0040] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning assembly 9 includes an arc-shaped slide rod 91 that is slidably connected to the inside of the arc-shaped cylinder 83. An arc-shaped grip rod 92 is fixedly provided at the end of the arc-shaped slide rod 91. The two arc-shaped grip rods 92 are used to hold the cup body and move the cup body and the cup lid to below the pressing ring 601, so as to avoid the cup body and the cup lid on the cup body not being able to be pressed tightly due to incorrect positioning. A connecting rod 93 is fixedly provided between the arc-shaped slide rod 91 and the connecting ring 10. The connecting rod 93 is used to increase the stability of the sliding of the arc-shaped slide rod 91.
[0041] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the transmission component includes two transmission pipes 701. The transmission pipes 701 are used to connect the interior of the arc-shaped cylinder 83 with the interior of the slide cylinder 21. When the internal air pressure of the slide cylinder 21 changes, it can drive the arc-shaped slide rod 91 to slide back and forth inside the arc-shaped cylinder 83 due to the change in internal air pressure. The two transmission pipes 701 are respectively located between the slide cylinder 21 and the arc-shaped cylinder 83 on both sides. One end of the transmission pipe 701 is fixedly connected to the interior of the slide cylinder 21, and the other end of the transmission pipe 701 is fixedly connected to the interior of the arc-shaped cylinder 83.
[0042] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the connecting plate 43 is provided with a reinforcing component 5. The reinforcing component 5 is used to increase the stability of the connecting plate 43 and to resist the force of the pressing ring 601 when it is pressed down. The reinforcing component 5 includes a reinforcing plate 51 fixed to the top of the connecting plate 43. A triangular plate 52 is fixedly provided at the front end of the reinforcing plate 51. The bottom end of the triangular plate 52 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 43.
[0043] The usage process of the cup lid mounting structure provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0044] The cup is dropped into the moving device in the self-service coffee machine by the cup dropper, and the cup is moved to the extraction device to fill the coffee. After filling, the cup is moved to the bottom of the cup dropper by the moving device, and the cup lid is placed on the top of the cup by the cup dropper. Then the cup is moved to the bottom of the pressing ring 601 by the moving device.
[0045] At this point, the cup body and lid need to be pressed tightly together. The motor 301 is started to drive the threaded cylinder 302 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting frame 4 to move downward through the threaded connection with the mounting cylinder 42. At this time, as the sliding rod 22 moves downward inside the sliding cylinder 21, it compresses the gas inside the sliding cylinder 21, thereby transmitting the gas to the arc-shaped cylinder 83 through the transmission pipe 701, thereby pushing the arc-shaped sliding rod 91 to move, so that the adapter rod 93 is rotatably connected to the adapter post 85 through the adapter ring 10. The cup body is held by the arc-shaped grips 92 on both sides. When the cup body is not directly below the pressing ring 601, it will be pushed directly below by the corresponding arc-shaped grip 92 on one side. Since the gas can be compressed, the motor 301 continues to move downward, pressing the lid tightly above the cup body through the pressing ring 601.
