Disposable cup stacking machine

Abstract

The utility model belongs to the technical field of cup machining, and particularly relates to a disposable cup stacking machine which comprises a plastic uptake piece taking mechanism, a plastic uptake machine conveying mechanism and a plurality of cup limiting mechanisms which are arranged on the plastic uptake machine conveying mechanism and matched with material taking chuck suckers on the plastic uptake piece taking mechanism in number. A bottom cover of a cup covers the periphery of the cup limiting mechanism through the plastic uptake piece taking mechanism, and then the gear motor is started to drive the rotary disc to rotate on the ring base. Due to the fact that the track line of the guide hole is a special curve, along with rotation of the rotary disc, the installation base moves in the guide hole, then the guide rod drives the limiting arc plates to move in the radial direction along the sliding hole of the guide base, cups are limited through the three limiting arc plates, and the cups are prevented from toppling when the conveying mechanism of the plastic vacuum forming machine moves.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cup processing technology, specifically relating to a disposable cup stacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of disposable cups, the thermoformed cups need to be stacked and collected. Existing stacking methods are prone to tipping over during operation due to vibrations generated by the conveyor mechanism of the thermoforming machine. This results in low stacking efficiency and may damage the cups, affecting product quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a disposable cup stacking machine that can easily limit the movement of cups during stacking to prevent them from tipping over due to the movement of the thermoforming machine's conveyor mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a disposable cup stacking machine to solve the problem that cups easily tip over during stacking due to the movement of the blister pack conveyor mechanism.

[0004] A disposable cup stacking machine includes a blister packaging mechanism and a blister packaging machine conveying mechanism, as well as several sets of cup limiting mechanisms disposed on the blister packaging machine conveying mechanism that match the number of suction cups of the material picking clamps on the blister packaging mechanism.

[0005] The cup limiting mechanism includes three mounting legs fixed on the conveying mechanism of the vacuum forming machine. A ring seat is provided at the top of the three mounting legs. A turntable is provided at the center of the ring seat through a bearing. A reduction motor is fixed at the bottom of the ring seat. Three guide seats are arranged in an arc array on the ring seat. A guide rod is provided on the guide seat through a sliding hole. A limiting arc plate is fixed at one end of the guide rod, and a mounting seat is provided at the other end.

[0006] The turntable is provided with three guide holes, and the trajectory of each guide hole is a curve that gradually narrows from the outer periphery of the turntable towards the center. The radial distance from any point on the curve trajectory to the center of the turntable gradually decreases as the curve extends. The three mounting seats are respectively movably disposed inside the three guide holes.

[0007] The cup's bottom is placed around the cup's limiting mechanism using a vacuum forming mechanism. Then, the geared motor is started, causing the turntable to rotate on the ring seat. Because the guide hole's trajectory is a special curve, as the turntable rotates, the mounting base moves within the guide hole. This movement, in turn, drives the limiting arc plates to move radially along the sliding holes of the guide seat via guide rods. The three limiting arc plates limit the cup's position, preventing it from tipping over during the vacuum forming machine's conveyor mechanism.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 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.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown;

[0020] A disposable cup stacking machine.

[0021] This implementation plan addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as the "In the production process of disposable cups, it is necessary to stack and collect the cups after vacuum forming. Existing stacking methods, due to vibrations generated by the vacuum forming machine's conveyor mechanism during operation, easily cause the cups to tip over during stacking, resulting in low stacking efficiency and potential damage to the cups, affecting product quality." In practical terms, this problem is clearly real and difficult to solve. Therefore, to solve this technical problem, a disposable cup stacking machine is provided.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure;

[0023] Based on the above, the device includes a blister packaging mechanism 1 and a blister packaging machine conveying mechanism 2, as well as several sets of cup limiting mechanisms 3 installed on the blister packaging machine conveying mechanism 2, matching the number of suction cups on the blister packaging mechanism 1. Each cup limiting mechanism 3 includes three mounting legs 31 fixed to the blister packaging machine conveying mechanism 2. A ring seat 32 is provided at the top of each of the three mounting legs 31. A turntable 33 is mounted at the center of the ring seat 32 via a bearing. A reduction motor 34 is fixed at the bottom of the ring seat 32. An arc-shaped array is formed on the ring seat 32. The turntable 33 is provided with three guide seats 35, and guide rods 37 are provided on the guide seats 35 through sliding holes 36. One end of the guide rod 37 is fixed with a limiting arc plate 371, and the other end is provided with a mounting seat 372. The turntable 33 is provided with three guide holes 331. The trajectory line of each guide hole 331 is a curve that gradually shrinks from the outer periphery of the turntable 33 towards the center. The radial distance from any point on the curve trajectory to the center of the turntable gradually decreases as the curve extends. The three mounting seats 372 are respectively movably disposed inside the three guide holes 331.

[0024] The suction cup of the blister packaging mechanism 1 is made of silicone, which has good adsorption and wear resistance.

[0025] The inner wall of the ring seat 32 is provided with a lubricating layer to reduce the friction between the turntable 33 and the ring seat 32 and improve the rotational flexibility of the turntable 33.

[0026] The geared motor 34 is a servo geared motor, which can precisely control the rotation speed and angle of the turntable 33.

[0027] A linear bearing is installed in the sliding hole 36 of the guide seat 35, and the guide rod 37 cooperates with the linear bearing to reduce the resistance when the guide rod 37 slides in the sliding hole 36.

[0028] The inner surface of the limiting arc plate 371 is provided with a buffer pad to prevent damage to the surface of the cup during the limiting process.

[0029] Installation process

[0030] First, install the conveyor mechanism of the vacuum forming machine in the designated working position, ensuring that it is stable and secure.

[0031] Then, the three mounting legs of the cup limiting mechanism are fixed to the conveying mechanism of the vacuum forming machine by means of bolts, so that the ring seat is in a horizontal state.

[0032] The turntable is mounted at the center of the ring seat via bearings. Then, a geared motor is installed, and its output shaft is connected to the turntable to ensure that it can drive the turntable to rotate.

[0033] Install three guide seats in an arc array on the ring seat, install the guide rod on the guide seat through the sliding hole, install a limiting arc plate on one end of the guide rod and an installation seat on the other end, and finally place the installation seat into the guide hole on the turntable.

[0034] Install the blister packaging mechanism in a suitable position so that its material-grabbing suction cup corresponds to the cup-limiting mechanism and can accurately pick up and place cups.

[0035] Work process

[0036] The thermoforming cup's bottom is placed around the cup's limiting mechanism by the thermoforming pick-up mechanism. Then, the geared motor is started, driving the turntable to rotate on the ring seat. Because the guide hole's trajectory is a special curve, as the turntable rotates, the mounting seat moves within the guide hole, which in turn drives the limiting arc plates to move radially along the guide seat's sliding holes via the guide rod. The three limiting arc plates limit the cup's position, preventing it from tipping over during the thermoforming machine's conveyor mechanism's movement.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
