[0035] The embodiment of the present application discloses a cup clamp moving device for automatic milk tea machine. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cup clamp moving device for automatic milk tea machine comprises a moving mechanism 100 and a clamping mechanism 200. The moving mechanism 100 comprises an x-axis moving assembly 110 and a y-axis moving assembly 120, the x-axis moving assembly 110 and the y-axis moving assembly 120 are both ball screw linear driving modules, the y-axis moving assembly 120 is installed on the sliding table of the x-axis moving assembly 110, and the clamping mechanism 200 is installed on the sliding table of the y-axis moving assembly 120. The clamping mechanism 200 comprises a mounting seat 210, a cup clamp assembly 220 and a supporting assembly 230. The mounting seat 210 is fixedly connected with the sliding table of the y-axis moving assembly 120.

The supporting assembly 230 is installed on the mounting seat 210, and the supporting assembly 230 is used for supporting the milk tea cup 400.

[0036] The milk tea cup 400 is accurately moved on a two-dimensional plane through cooperation of the x-axis moving assembly 110 and the y-axis moving assembly 120, the milk tea cup 400 is placed in the containing cavity defined between the two clamping jaws 221, the two clamping jaws 221 are used to clamp and fix the milk tea cup 400 on both sides of the milk tea cup 400, and the supporting assembly 230 supports the milk tea cup 400 below the milk tea cup 400. The arrangement of the supporting assembly 230 enhances the stability of the device. During the movement of the device driving the milk tea cup 400, especially when the milk tea cup 400 contains liquid, the additional support can effectively alleviate the problem of liquid spilling out of the milk tea cup 400 due to the inclination of the cup during the start and stop of the movement, thereby ensuring the continuity of the milk tea making and the quality of the finished product. In addition, the clamping jaw 221 is elastically connected with the limiting block 222. During the start and stop of the movement of the milk tea cup 400, the clamping jaw 221 is elastically clamped, and the supporting assembly 230 supports the milk tea cup 400 below the milk tea cup 400, thereby further reducing the possibility of liquid spilling out of the milk tea cup 400 under the action of inertia.

[0037] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the supporting assembly 230 comprises a cup seat 231, the cup seat 231 is slidably connected with the mounting seat 210 through a lifting assembly, the lifting assembly drives the cup seat 231 to move along the z-axis direction, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the plane where the x-axis and the y-axis are located. The lifting assembly comprises an electric push rod 240, the electric push rod 240 is fixedly connected with the mounting seat 210, and the piston rod of the electric push rod 240 is fixedly connected with the cup seat 231.

[0038] By slidably connecting the cup seat 231 on the mounting seat 210, the cup seat 231 is used to support the milk tea cup 400, and the supporting position of the cup seat 231 can be adjusted through the electric push rod 240, so that different models of milk tea cups 400 can be supported, the applicability of the supporting assembly 230 is improved, and the supporting effect of the supporting assembly 230 is ensured.

[0039] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the spring 223 is installed on the side of the clamping jaw 221 close to the limiting block 222. The first pressure detection sensor 224 is fixedly connected on the side of the limiting block 222 close to the clamping jaw 221.

The first pressure detection sensor 224 is electrically connected with the electric push rod 240.

[0040] When the milk tea cup 400 is placed between the two clamping jaws, as the milk tea cup 400 gradually falls, the pressure applied by the clamping jaw 221 to the limiting block 222 through the spring 223 gradually increases, and the pressure applied by the spring 223 to the limiting block 222 is detected by the detection sensor arranged on the limiting block 222. When the value detected by the first pressure detection sensor 224 is less than the set value, the electric push rod 240 drives the cup seat 231 to move away from the cup clamping assembly 220, so that the milk tea cup 400 can continue to fall. When the value detected by the first pressure detection sensor 224 reaches the set value, the electric push rod 240 stops working, reducing the possibility of unstable clamping of the milk tea cup 400 by the clamping jaw 221 due to the high support position of the cup seat 231.

[0041] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the mounting seat 210 is fixedly connected with a distance detection sensor 211, and the distance detection sensor 211 is located between the two clamping jaws 221.

[0042] When the distance detection sensor 211 detects that the milk tea cup 400 enters the accommodating cavity, the distance detection sensor 211 transmits a signal to the first pressure detection sensor 224, and the data detected by the first pressure detection sensor 224 is used to adjust the position of the cup seat 231.

[0044] By arranging the second pressure detection sensor 232 on the cup seat 231, the pressure applied by the milk tea cup 400 to the cup seat 231 is detected by the second pressure detection sensor 232. When the value detected by the second pressure detection sensor 232 exceeds the set value, i.e. after the liquid raw material is added to the milk tea cup 400, the second pressure detection sensor 232 transmits a signal to the cup sealing mechanism 300, and the cup opening of the milk tea cup 400 is sealed by the cup sealing mechanism 300, further reducing the possibility of spilling of the liquid inside the milk tea cup 400 during movement.

[0045] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Figure 1 Figure 2The sealing cup mechanism 300 comprises a cup cover 310, a rotating rod 320 and a driving assembly.
