Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper cup production and conveying technology, and in particular to a paper cup production and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Paper cups are common disposable beverage containers, made primarily of paper pulp with a food-grade polyethylene film lining the inner wall for waterproofing and leak prevention. Manufactured on a production line through multiple processes, they offer significant advantages: convenience, hygiene, no cleaning hassles, low cost, and some heat insulation. However, their disadvantages are also undeniable: large-scale disposal can lead to environmental problems, and their heat and cold resistance is limited. They are widely used, frequently found in restaurants, offices, and gatherings to hold various beverages.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN217671421 U discloses a conveyor packaging machine for paper cup production. It includes multiple horizontally arranged conveyor seats, a conveyor belt at the top of each seat, and two guide plates rotatably connected to the upper end of each seat. The two guide plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt and inclined towards the belt. A guide belt is located on one side of each guide plate, close to the other. Adjustment mechanisms are located on both sides of the conveyor seats, connected to the guide plates, to control the rotation of the guide plates at the top of the conveyor seats. This device differs from traditional forming devices in that it positions the two guide plates above the conveyor seats. The guide belts on the guide plates guide the conveyed paper cups, preventing them from shifting or falling off during rapid transport. Simultaneously, the adjustment mechanisms on the conveyor seats, by controlling the rotation of the guide plates, can bring the guide belt closer to the paper cups, thus allowing the guide belt to accommodate different sizes of paper cups, making it widely applicable.

[0004] After the paper cups are conveyed, they need to be stacked to facilitate efficient storage, handling, and sales. However, the current device has many limitations, which greatly restricts the smoothness and practicality of the overall production process. At present, the device only has the single function of conveying paper cups of different wall diameters. In subsequent key processes, it cannot flexibly and accurately stack the conveyed paper cups into stacks according to the established standards. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a paper cup production conveying device includes a connecting frame 1, the top of the connecting frame 1 is open, a feeding component 2 is installed on the upper front side of the connecting frame 1, a conveying component 3 is installed on the right front side of the connecting frame 1, a limiting component 4 is provided on the left front side of the connecting frame 1, a tilting feeding component 5 is installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the connecting frame 1, and a pneumatic component 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the connecting frame 1 between the front side and the tilting feeding component 5.

[0026] In actual use, the paper cups slide down through the feeding component 2 to the front of the inner cavity of the connecting frame 1. The conveying component 3 and the limiting component 4 work together to convey paper cups of different wall diameters. During conveying, the paper cups are flipped over by the flipping feeding component 5 and stacked into a pile. By setting the pneumatic component 6, the paper cups are blown by high-pressure gas during the stacking of paper cups, which makes the paper cups fit tightly together and the layers are stacked more tightly and stably, which greatly improves the stacking quality and efficiency of paper cups.

[0027] Specifically, the limiting component 4 includes a slide groove 41 and a threaded hole 42. The slide groove 41 and the threaded hole 42 are respectively opened through the front left side of the connecting frame 1. The threaded hole 42 is located on the lower side of the slide groove 41. An L-shaped plate 43 is slidably installed on the inner surface of the slide groove 41.

[0028] An inclined plate 431 is fixedly installed on the right side of the top of the L-shaped plate 43 in the horizontal direction. A sleeve 44 is fixedly installed in the middle of the left end of the L-shaped plate 43 in the vertical direction. A threaded rod 441 is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the sleeve 44. The threaded rod 441 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 42. A screw plate 45 is fixedly installed at the end of the threaded rod 441 away from the sleeve 44.

[0029] Tighten the screw plate 45, and the screw plate 45 drives 411 to push the vertical surface of the L-shaped plate 43 to the right with the axis of the threaded hole 42 as the reference. This causes the horizontal end of the L-shaped plate 43 to slide to the right along the inner surface of the slide groove 41. This adjusts the distance between the L-shaped plate 43 and the conveying assembly 3 according to the wall diameter of the paper cup.

[0030] The threaded rod 441 is rotatably connected to the vertical surface of the L-shaped plate 43 through the sleeve 44, so that when the threaded rod 441 rotates, it will prevent the L-shaped plate 43 from rotating together.

[0031] An inclined plate 431 is fixedly installed on the horizontal end of the L-shaped plate 43. The top of the inclined plate 431 in the horizontal direction is inclined. This prevents the material from falling outward when the feeding assembly 2 feeds the material, so that the material rolls down into the inner cavity of the connecting frame 1 through the inclined surface of the inclined plate 431 after sliding down.

[0032] Specifically, the conveying assembly 3 includes a bottom plate 31 and a top plate 33. The bottom plate 31 is fixedly installed on the front right side of the connecting frame 1. The bottom plate 31 and the top plate 33 are parallel to each other. A fixing plate 32 is connected between the right sides of the opposite surfaces of the bottom plate 31 and the top plate 33.

[0033] Three rotating shafts 34 are mounted together on the base plate 31 and the top plate 33, and the three rotating shafts 34 are arranged in a triangle. Three transmission wheels 341 are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the three rotating shafts 34, and a conveyor belt 342 is connected between the three transmission wheels 341. A motor 35 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the bottom middle of the base plate 31, and the output shaft of the motor 35 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 34 at the middle through a coupling.

[0034] When the paper cup falls into the inner cavity of the connecting frame 1, its outer surface is limited and supported by the L-shaped plate 43 and the opposite surface of the conveyor belt 342. The motor 35 is started, and the motor 35 drives the central transmission wheel 341 to rotate. The central transmission wheel 341 drives the other two transmission wheels 341 to rotate together through the conveyor belt 342. In this way, the paper cup is moved backward and conveyed during the rotation of the conveyor belt 342.

[0035] Furthermore, the flipping and unloading assembly 5 includes a flipping component 51, which is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the connecting frame 1. The front and rear sides of the flipping component 51 are triangular, and a semi-arc groove 52 with the same slope is opened on the rear side of the flipping component 51. The middle part of the flipping component 51 is higher than the inclined surfaces of the front and rear sides.

[0036] When the paper cup is conveyed to the middle of the connecting frame 1 by the conveyor belt 342, the bottom of the paper cup first contacts the inclined surface on the front side of the flipper 51, so that the paper cup tilts when it is conveyed backward. When the paper cup passes the highest part of the middle of the flipper 51, it slides backward into the semi-arc groove 52 on the inclined surface on the rear side of the flipper 51, and continues to slide backward through the inclination angle of the semi-arc groove 52, so that the paper cup can be stacked into a stack after being conveyed.

[0037] Furthermore, the pneumatic assembly 6 includes an air pump 61, which is fixedly installed on the front side of the inner cavity of the connecting frame 1. A hose 62 is fixedly installed at the output end of the air pump 61. A nozzle 63 is fixedly installed at the end of the hose 62 away from the air pump 61. The end of the nozzle 63 away from the hose 62 passes through the middle of the flipping part 51 and extends into the semi-arc groove 52.

[0038] After the paper cups fall into the inner cavity of the semi-circular groove 52, due to their light weight, it is difficult for the paper cups to be tightly stacked together during the stacking process.

[0039] Start the air pump 61. The output end of the air pump 61 blows out air and blows the air into the semi-circular groove 52 through the nozzle 63. In this way, the air thrust of the air pump 61 can make the paper cups stacked more tightly together during the sliding process.

[0040] Specifically, the feeding assembly 2 includes a hopper 21, which is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid. The top of the hopper 21 is open. The bottom of the inner cavity of the hopper 21 is provided with a feeding port 211 that is aligned with the inner cavity of the connecting frame 1. Two supports 22 are symmetrically installed on the lower side of both ends of the hopper 21 along its height direction. The hopper 21 is fixedly installed on the front side of the top of the connecting frame 1 by the two supports 22.

[0041] After the paper cups enter the hopper 21, they fall through the discharge port 211 to the front of the inner cavity of the connecting frame 1 for conveying and stacking.

[0042] It should be noted that the specific installation method, circuit connection method, and control method of the motor 35 and air pump 61 used in this utility model are all conventional designs, and will not be described in detail in this utility model.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
