Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a processing table 1, a rotating plate 2 rotatably connected to the upper end of the processing table 1, an outer ring groove 21 equidistantly opened around the outer periphery of the rotating plate 2, a vertical plate 3 fixed to the upper end of the processing table 1 and located behind the rotating plate 2, a turntable 4 rotatably connected to the front side of the vertical plate 3, a telescopic cylinder 41 equidistantly fixed around the outer periphery of the turntable 4, and a vacuum suction cup 42 fixed to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 41, a storage box 5 fixed to the upper front side of the vertical plate 3, the storage box 5, the telescopic cylinder 41 and the outer ring groove 21 are vertically aligned, a horizontal plate 31 fixed to the front side of the vertical plate 3 and located between the rotating plate 2 and the turntable 4, and a guide sleeve 32 fixed on the horizontal plate 31.

[0019] An outer ring 22 is fixed on the processing table 1 and located around the rotating plate 2. A collection groove 11 is provided on the upper end of the processing table 1 and aligned with one of the outer ring grooves 21. An outer ring notch 23 is provided on the outer ring 22 and aligned with the collection groove 11. A stepper motor 12 is fixed inside the processing table 1. The output end of the stepper motor 12 is fixed at the bottom of the rotating plate 2. A synchronous motor 43 that drives the turntable 4 to rotate is fixed on the rear side of the upright plate 3.

[0020] The storage box 5 is provided with a storage groove 51 that runs through the storage box 5. An elastic ring 53 is fixed to the inner side of the bottom of the storage groove 51. An observation window 52 is provided on the front side of the storage box 5.

[0021] Working principle: First, connect the entire device to an external power source. Then, place each toothpick box into the outer ring groove 21. The stepper motor 12 drives the rotating plate 2 to rotate, allowing each toothpick box to enter the storage box 5 one by one. Next, the synchronous rotation of the synchronous motor 43 drives the turntable 4 to rotate. The telescopic cylinder 41 extends the vacuum suction cup 42 into the storage tank 51 to suction the bottom lid. Then, rotate the bottom to align with the toothpick box, and use the push and squeeze of the telescopic cylinder 41 to achieve the purpose of capping. During this process, the lids in the storage tank 51 are blocked by the elastic ring 53 and will not fall down collectively. They can only be pulled out when the vacuum suction cup 42 suctions and pulls. After the capping is completed, when the toothpick box rotates to the outer ring notch 23, it can fall directly into the collection tank 11 for collection, achieving the purpose of automatic feeding. The whole process only requires placing each toothpick box into the outer ring groove 21 one by one, which is simple to operate and improves work efficiency.
