Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an anti-tipping cup baffle structure and conveying equipment, belonging to the field of general mechanical equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] In some automated production lines, conveyor belts are the main transport equipment, capable of efficiently transporting goods. However, during the transport of cups, when two streams of cups meet on the conveyor belt, cup tipping frequently occurs. This problem is caused by multiple factors. For example, at the moment the cups meet, the sudden change in speed, direction, and magnitude generates a large inertial force; if the cup's center of gravity is high and the bottom support area is limited, it is very easy for it to tip over due to the shift in the center of gravity. Alternatively, poor connection at the conveyor belt meeting point, missing guide structures, or unreasonable design can lead to a lack of effective guidance and restraint for the cups during the meeting process, causing them to tip over.

[0003] The phenomenon of cup tipping not only severely impacts production efficiency and increases the time cost of manually straightening cups, but it can also lead to cup damage and direct economic losses. Furthermore, frequent cup tipping necessitates production line interruptions for handling, further reducing production continuity and smoothness, decreasing efficiency, and increasing product costs. Existing conveyor belts reduce tipping by lowering belt speed, but this significantly reduces production efficiency and cannot meet the demands of large-scale, high-efficiency production; alternatively, adding guide plates on one side limits the usability of the production line to only one type of cup, resulting in waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an anti-tipping cup baffle structure and conveying equipment to solve the problems of cups tipping over during conveyor belt transportation, causing cup damage, requiring frequent production line interruptions for handling, affecting the continuity and smoothness of production, reducing production efficiency, increasing production costs, and the inability to adjust the guide plate spacing, which limits the scope of production line use and causes waste.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] Firstly, this utility model provides an anti-tipping cup baffle structure, including...

[0007] Baffles are located on both sides of the cup body;

[0008] A first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, one end of the first connecting plate is connected to the baffle, and the side of the first connecting plate facing away from the baffle is connected to the second connecting plate;

[0009] Waist-shaped hole, the waist-shaped hole is disposed on the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, an elastomer is included, which covers one side of the baffle and is able to abut against the cup body.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the baffle is inclined along the transport convergence direction, and its inclination angle is less than 30°. The inclination angle should not be too large, as an excessively large inclination angle will increase the collision force between the cup and the baffle, making the cup prone to tipping over.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, at least two oblong holes are provided on the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, and the length direction of the oblong holes is perpendicular to the baffle. The two oblong holes can position the baffle and prevent it from tilting due to excessive weight, thus affecting the transportation of the cup.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, a bracket is included, which is connected to the second connecting plate.

[0014] Secondly, this utility model provides a conveying device, including the aforementioned anti-tipping cup baffle structure.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, a conveyor belt is included, and the baffles are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first connector, a second connector, and a driving mechanism are included. The driving mechanism is connected to the second connector. The first connector is sleeved on the outside of the second connector, and the conveyor belt is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first connector.

[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, a frame is included, a bracket is connected to the frame, and a drive mechanism is mounted on the frame.

[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, a support plate is also included, which is mounted on the frame.

[0019] Beneficial effects

[0020] The anti-tipping cup baffle structure provided by this utility model provides support and guidance for the cup body by setting baffles on both sides, preventing the cup from tilting. This reduces the time cost of manually straightening the cup, eliminates the need for frequent production line interruptions, ensures production continuity and smoothness, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs. The distance between the two baffles can be adjusted by changing the distance between the first and second connecting plates, making this anti-tipping cup baffle structure applicable to various types of cups and expanding the range of applications on the production line. By covering the inner side of the baffle with an elastomer, a buffer is provided when the cup body collides with the baffle, preventing a rigid collision between the cup body and the baffle when they meet, which could cause the cup to tip over due to a shift in the center of gravity.

[0029] 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, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the illustration, this application provides an anti-tipping cup baffle structure. The baffle structure 100 is installed on both sides of the cup body to provide support and guidance during transport, preventing the cup from tipping over. The baffle structure 100 includes a baffle 1, an elastic body 2, a first connecting plate 3, a second connecting plate 4, and a bracket 6. The baffle 1 is a rectangular plate structure. The elastic body 2 covers one side of the baffle 1 and abuts against the cup body. The elastic body 2 provides cushioning when the cup body collides with the baffle 1, preventing a rigid collision between the cup body and the baffle 1 during contact, thus avoiding tipping due to a shift in the center of gravity. The side of the baffle 1 opposite to the elastic body 2 is connected to the first connecting plate 3. The side of the first connecting plate 3 opposite to the baffle 1 is connected to the second connecting plate 4. The end of the second connecting plate 4 opposite to the first connecting plate 3 is connected to the bracket 6. The baffle structure 100 is fixedly installed on other equipment via the bracket 6.

[0033] In some embodiments, baffles 1 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cup body to provide support. During the transportation of the cup body, the elastic body 2 on the baffle 1 can always maintain slight contact with the cup body, guiding the cup body forward along the transportation direction and preventing the cup body from tipping over due to deviation. At the confluence of multiple transportation routes, the baffle 1 is inclined, consistent with the transportation path of the cup body. The inward tilt angle of the baffle 1 is less than 30°. The tilt angle should not be too large, as an excessively large tilt angle will increase the collision force between the cup body and the baffle 1, making the cup body more prone to tipping over.

[0034] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the elastomer 2 can be a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as rubber or silicone.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, both the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4 are provided with waist-shaped holes 5. The first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4 are provided with at least two waist-shaped holes 5. The length direction of the two waist-shaped holes 5 is perpendicular to the baffle 1. The two waist-shaped holes 5 can position the baffle 1, preventing it from tilting due to excessive weight, thus affecting the transportation of the cup. The waist-shaped holes 5 also allow adjustment of the distance between the baffle 1 and the support 6, ensuring that the baffle 1 always remains in contact with the cup, thereby enabling the baffle structure 100 to be used for transporting cups of various sizes.

[0036] In addition, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model also provides a conveying device, including the aforementioned baffle structure 100. The conveying device 200 further includes a conveyor belt 7, a support plate 8, a frame 9, a first connecting member 10, a second connecting member 11, and a drive mechanism 12. The conveyor belt 7 is a ring structure, installed on the frame 9, and rotatably connected to the frame 9 for conveying cups. The first connecting member 10 is arranged along the interior of the conveyor belt 7. Two second connecting members 11 are installed at both ends of the frame 9 and rotatably connected to the frame 9. The first connecting member 10 is sleeved on the outside of the two second connecting members 11 and abuts against them. The drive mechanism 12 is installed at one end of the frame 9, and its power output end is connected to the second connecting member 11, enabling it to drive the second connecting member 11 to rotate. The drive mechanism 12 can be a drive motor, cylinder, electric cylinder, or other structure, without specific limitation. The rotation of the second connecting member 11 drives the first connecting member 10 to rotate, thereby rotating the conveyor belt 7 and realizing the transport of the product. A support plate 8 is provided on the side of the conveyor belt 7 away from the first connector 10. The support plate 8 is installed on the frame 9 and located below the conveyor belt 7 to provide support for the conveyor belt 7, keeping it stable during transportation and preventing it from tilting, which could cause the cups to tip over during transport. Baffle structures 100 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 7 and connected to the frame 9 via brackets 6.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 10 can be a chain, rack, or other structure, and the second connecting member 11 can be a gear, pulley, or other structure. The second connecting member 11 can mesh with the first connecting member 10 to drive the first connecting member 10 to rotate. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting member 10 is a chain, and the second connecting member 11 is a gear, and the two mesh with each other.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Baffles 1 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 7 via brackets 6. By adjusting the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4, the elastic body 2 on the baffle 1 abuts against the cup body. At the confluence of the two conveyor belts 7, the baffle 1 is inclined along the confluence direction. When the drive mechanism 12 is activated, it drives the second connecting member 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the first connecting member 10 to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt 7 to rotate. Guided by the baffles 1, the cups on the conveyor belt 7 converge towards the middle conveyor belt 7. Because both sides of the cup body have baffles, the cup body will not tip over during movement, avoiding the problem of cup tipping at the confluence. The baffle structure 100 is simple in structure, easy to install and disassemble. The baffle 1 is installed on both sides of the cup body, which can provide support and guidance for the cup body, prevent the cup body from tilting, reduce the time for manual straightening of the cup, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs. The distance between the two baffles 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4, so that the baffle structure 100 can be used for various types of cup bodies, and the manufacturing cost is low, avoiding the problem of increased costs caused by using lead screw adjustment.

[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0040] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
