When the clamping sleeve 204 works, the clamping block 23 can effectively prevent displacement, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the paper cup clamping operation.
[0047] Working principle: when the motor one 3 starts, power is transmitted to the conveying belt 1, so that the conveying belt 1 starts to rotate stably. The paper cups to be processed are placed on the conveying belt 1 and are horizontally conveyed along with the rotation of the conveying belt 1, and are transported to the subsequent material discharging and overturning operation area. The conveying belt 1 plays a stable and continuous material conveying role. After the paper cups are conveyed to the appropriate position, the spacing of the clamping jaws 10 is adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction action of the extension rods 13. One end of the extension rod 13 is connected to the connecting seat one 11 on the left and right ends of the front side of the fixed plate 7, and the other end is connected to the connecting seat two 12 on the far side of the rotating seat 8 and the clamping jaw 10. When the extension rod 13 pushes the connecting seat two 12, the clamping jaw 10 is driven to move due to the transmission of force, so that the spacing between the clamping jaws 10 is changed according to the actual size of the paper cups, and finally the stable clamping of paper cups of different sizes is realized. The clamps 9 can rotate left and right on the rotating seat 8, which can further fine-tune the position to better adapt to different work requirements and ensure accurate clamping of the paper cups. When the paper cups are stably clamped by the clamping jaws 10, the motor two 14 is started. The rotation of the motor two 14 can accurately control the rotation of the mechanical arm 5 at the top of the bracket 4. The mechanical arm 5 drives the rotating shaft 6 and other components connected thereto to move, so that the clamped paper cups reach the appropriate material discharging position. The rotating shaft 6 can rotate to realize the overturning action of the paper cups, and adjust the paper cups to the required angle. After the overturning and reaching the specified position are completed, the clamping jaws 10 are released, the paper cups are discharged, and enter the next process.
[0048] And, in the operation process of the conveying belt 1, the paper cup to be clamped will pass through the region of the fixed block 201 distributed on the upper and lower sides in turn, and the notch 202 at the top of the fixed block 201 provides installation and rotating space for the rotating ring 203, so that the rotating ring 203 can rotate freely within a limited range, when the paper cup enters the clamping position, the operator rotates the rotating ring 203, and as the rotating ring 203 starts to rotate, the uniformly distributed extrusion blocks 206 in the rotating ring 203 will change position synchronously, since the extrusion blocks 206 and the fixed column 205 are in a relative motion state, during the continuous rotation of the rotating ring 203, the extrusion blocks 206 will gradually approach and finally contact the fixed column 205, and then extrusion force is applied to the fixed column 205, because the fixed column 205 is closely connected with the clamping sleeve 204, so when the fixed column 205 is extruded by the extrusion blocks 206, the force will be transmitted to the clamping sleeve 204, under the action of the extrusion force, the clamping sleeve 204 will overcome the initial position resistance of itself and move towards the middle, since the paper cup is located between the multiple clamping sleeves 204, when the multiple clamping sleeves 204 move towards the middle at the same time, the spacing between them will gradually decrease, until it is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the paper cup, so as to realize stable clamping of paper cups of different sizes, and improve the universality and convenience in the process of clamping the paper cup.
[0049] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and not for limiting the present application, although the foregoing detailed description of the present application, for those skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, within the spirit and principles of the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
