Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Plastic cup conveying devices are widely used in automated production lines in the food and beverage industries. Traditional manual or semi-automatic conveying methods suffer from low efficiency and high labor intensity, affecting production speed and product quality. Therefore, developing a high-efficiency and stable plastic cup conveying device that can improve production efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and ensure the continuity and automation level of the production line is a current industrial need.

[0003] However, in actual use, the following shortcomings still exist. For example, the existing plastic cup conveying device cannot distribute stacked plastic cups. When plastic cups are stacked together, the conveying device has difficulty separating them one by one and accurately transporting them to the next process. This will cause the production line to stop, waiting for manual intervention to separate the cups, thereby reducing the overall production efficiency. Highly automated production lines require continuous and stable material supply, but the existing conveying device cannot meet this requirement, resulting in a decrease in equipment utilization. Since the conveying device cannot handle stacked plastic cups, additional manual labor is required to separate and place them, which not only increases labor intensity but also increases labor costs.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a plastic cup conveying device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a plastic cup conveying device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a plastic cup conveying device, comprising:

A second drive motor is installed on one side of the support plate. A gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor. A rack meshes with the gear. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the rack.

[0009] A plastic cup dispensing assembly is placed on a fixed plate near the conveying device. The plastic cup dispensing assembly includes a cup dispensing cylinder fixed on the fixed plate near the conveying device. A support block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cup dispensing cylinder. An electric push rod is installed on the top of the support block. A second limiting block is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod. A third rotating block is rotatably connected to the side of the second limiting block away from the electric push rod. A push rod is rotatably connected to the end of the third rotating block away from the second limiting block.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the other end of the second rotating block is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, and the first limiting block is rotatably connected to the fixed plate.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: since the other end of the second rotating block is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, when the second rotating block rotates on the fixed plate, the fixed plate can play a supporting and limiting role in the rotation of the second rotating block; since the first limiting block is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, when the first limiting block rotates on the fixed plate, the fixed plate can play a supporting and limiting role in the rotation of the first limiting block.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second rotating block, and the rack is slidably connected to the support plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: since the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second rotating block, the second rotating block can drive the connecting rod to move when it rotates; since the rack is slidably connected to the support plate, the support plate can support and limit the movement of the rack.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, an observation groove is provided on the side of the cup-dispensing cylinder away from the fixed plate.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, since an observation groove is provided on the side of the cup dispensing tube away from the fixed plate, the number of plastic cups inside the cup dispensing tube can be observed through the observation groove provided on the cup dispensing tube.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the second limiting block is slidably connected to the support block.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, since the second limiting block is slidably connected to the support block, the support block can support the second limiting block.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting groove is provided on the support block, and the push rod is slidably connected in the limiting groove.

[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, since the support block has a limiting groove and the push rod is slidably connected in the limiting groove, when the push rod moves in the limiting groove, the limiting groove can support and limit the movement of the push rod, preventing the push rod from deviating when it moves.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a cup holder is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt.

[0021] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, since the top of the conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the cup holder, the plastic cup placed in the cup holder can play a stabilizing role and prevent the plastic cup from tipping over when moving.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] In this invention, firstly, the first drive motor drives the eccentric block to rotate. Through the linkage of the first rotating block, the second rotating block, and the moving rod, the connecting rod drives the support plate to move up and down and rotate. When the support plate moves close to the plastic cup, the second drive motor drives the gear to rotate, and transmits the power to the clamping plate through the rack, so that the clamping plate clamps and conveys the plastic cup. On the side of the fixed plate close to the conveying device, the plastic cup dispensing component starts to work. The electric push rod pushes the second limiting block, causing the third rotating block to rotate around its axis, thereby pushing the push rod to move into the cup outlet cylinder. When the push rod contacts the plastic cup, due to the friction, the plastic cup will be pushed out along the direction of the cup outlet cylinder, realizing the dispensing of the stacked plastic cups.

[0033] 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.

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a plastic cup conveying device, comprising:

[0035] Conveyor belt 1 and fixing plate 2 fixed on conveyor belt 1;

[0036] The conveying device 3 is placed on one side of the fixed plate 2. The conveying device 3 includes a first drive motor 31 fixed on one side of the fixed plate 2. An eccentric block 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor 31. A first rotating block 33 is rotatably connected to one side of the eccentric block 32. A second rotating block 34 is rotatably connected to the side of the first rotating block 33 away from the eccentric block 32. A moving rod 35 is rotatably connected to one end of the second rotating block 34. A first limiting block 36 is slidably connected to the moving rod 35. A connecting rod 37 is rotatably connected to one end of the moving rod 35. A support plate 38 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 37. A second drive motor 39 is installed on one side of the support plate 38. A gear 310 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor 39. A rack 311 meshes with the gear 310. A clamping plate 312 is fixedly connected to the rack 311.

[0037] A plastic cup dispensing assembly 4 is placed on the fixed plate 2 near the conveying device 3. The assembly includes a cup dispensing cylinder 41 fixed to the fixed plate 2 near the conveying device 3. A support block 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cup dispensing cylinder 41, and an electric push rod 45 is mounted on the top of the support block 43. A second limiting block 46 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 45. A third rotating block 47 is rotatably connected to the side of the second limiting block 46 away from the electric push rod 45. A push rod 48 is rotatably connected to the end of the third rotating block 47 away from the second limiting block 46. First, the first transmission motor 31 drives the eccentric block 32 to rotate, and the first rotating block 33, the second rotating block 34, and the moving rod 3... The linkage of 5 causes the connecting rod 37 to drive the support plate 38 to move up and down and rotate. When the support plate 38 moves close to the plastic cup, the second transmission motor 39 drives the gear 310 to rotate, and transmits the power to the clamping plate 312 through the rack 311, so that the clamping plate 312 clamps and conveys the plastic cup. On the side of the fixed plate 2 close to the conveying device 3, the plastic cup dispensing component 4 starts to work. The electric push rod 45 pushes the second limit block 46, causing the third rotating block 47 to rotate around its axis, thereby pushing the push rod 48 to move into the cup dispensing cylinder 41. When the push rod 48 contacts the plastic cup, due to the friction, the plastic cup will be pushed out along the direction of the cup dispensing cylinder 41, realizing the dispensing of the stacked plastic cups.

[0038] The above solutions also have the problem of not being able to quickly transfer multiple plastic cups when they need to be transferred, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown: The other end of the second rotating block 34 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 2, and the first limiting block 36 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 2. Since the other end of the second rotating block 34 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 2, when the second rotating block 34 rotates on the fixed plate 2, the fixed plate 2 can support and limit the rotation of the second rotating block 34. Since the first limiting block 36 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 2, when the first limiting block 36 rotates on the fixed plate 2, the fixed plate 2 can support and limit the rotation of the first limiting block 36. The connecting rod 37 is rotatably connected to the second rotating block 34, and the rack 311 is slidably connected to the support plate 38. Since the connecting rod 37 is rotatably connected to the second rotating block 34, when the second rotating block 34 rotates, the second rotating block 34 can drive the connecting rod 37 to move. Since the rack 311 is slidably connected to the support plate 38, the support plate 38 can support and limit the movement of the rack 311.

[0039] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 4As shown, an observation groove 42 is provided on the side of the cup dispensing cylinder 41 away from the fixed plate 2. Because the observation groove 42 is provided on the side of the cup dispensing cylinder 41 away from the fixed plate 2, the number of plastic cups inside the cup dispensing cylinder 41 can be observed through the observation groove 42. The second limiting block 46 is slidably connected to the support block 43. Because the second limiting block 46 is slidably connected to the support block 43, the support block 43 can support the second limiting block 46. A limiting groove 44 is provided on the support block 43, and the push rod 48 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 44. Because the supporting block 43 has a limiting groove 44 and the push rod 48 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 44, when the push rod 48 moves in the limiting groove 44, the limiting groove 44 can support and limit the movement of the push rod 48, preventing the push rod 48 from deviating during movement.

[0040] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a cup holder 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 1. Because the cup holder 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 1, the plastic cup placed in the cup holder 5 can stabilize the plastic cup and prevent it from tipping over when moving.

[0041] like Figures 1-4 As shown, firstly, near the conveying device 3 on the fixed plate 2, the plastic cup dispensing assembly 4 begins to operate. The electric push rod 45 advances the second limiting block 46 forward. This limiting block acts as a fulcrum, causing the third rotating block 47 to rotate around its axis. As the third rotating block 47 rotates, the push rod 48 is pulled into the cup dispensing cylinder 41 by the traction force. When the push rod 48 contacts the bottom plastic cup, due to the friction between them, plus the external force, the plastic cup is smoothly pushed out along the direction of the cup dispensing cylinder 41, thus realizing the dispensing of the stacked cups. During the effective separation and distribution of the plastic cup, the first drive motor 31 starts and drives the eccentric block 32 to rotate. The first rotating block 33, the second rotating block 34, and the moving rod 35 work together to make the connecting rod 37 drive the support plate 38 to perform compound movements in the up-down and back-forward directions. When the support plate 38 moves close to the position of the plastic cup to be grasped, the second drive motor 39 is activated. It drives the gear 310 to start rotating. The gear 310 meshes with the rack 311 and effectively transmits power to the clamping plate 312, so that the clamping plate 312 can accurately position and clamp the target plastic cup for transfer.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
