DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The utility model will be further explained in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, and is not limited to this within the scope of the utility model.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the sauce cup arrangement mechanism of the embodiment includes a conveying assembly 1 for conveying horizontally stacked sauce cups, a bearing table 2 provided on the outer side of one end of the conveying assembly 1, and an arrangement assembly provided above the conveying assembly 1;The bearing table 2 and the conveying assembly 1 are smoothly connected, so that the sauce cup can be smoothly moved from the conveying assembly 1 to the bearing table 2;

[0026] The arrangement assembly includes a push plate 35;The bearing table 2 is provided with a guide rod 4;One end of the guide rod 4 extends above the conveying assembly 1;The bearing table 2 is also provided with a blocking assembly;The blocking assembly includes a blocking rod 52;The bearing table 2 is provided with a first sensor 6 on both sides of the guide rod 4;When the first sensor 6 generates a first signal, the blocking rod 52 is in a blocking state;When the first sensor 6 generates a second signal, the blocking rod 52 is in a storage state.

[0027] Specifically, initially, the blocking rod 52 is in a blocking state;In actual use, the external mechanical hand vertically stacks the sauce cup formed by the injection molding machine and transfers it to the external conveying mechanism, the external conveying mechanism and the conveying assembly 1 have a height difference, the external conveying mechanism conveys the vertically stacked sauce cup stack to the conveying assembly 1, at this time, due to the height difference, the sauce cup stack changes from the vertical stacking state to the horizontal stacking state during the transfer process, and the connecting link between the cup cover and the cup body of the sauce cup is supported on the guide rod 4, then the conveying assembly 1 conveys the horizontally stacked sauce cup to the bearing table 2, the guide rod 4 provides guidance for the sauce cup stack, so that the sauce cup stack can move along the axis direction of the guide rod 4, until a predetermined number of sauce cup stacks are reached, the conveying assembly 1 stops working;At this time, the push plate 35 of the arrangement assembly can push the horizontally stacked sauce cup stack on the conveying assembly 1 to the bearing table 2;

[0028] When the stack of sauce cups at the front end of the conveying is in a position corresponding to the first sensor 6, the first sensor 6 generates a second signal, and the sorting assembly can push the horizontally stacked stack of sauce cups to the carrying table 2 according to the second signal, that is, the horizontally stacked stack of sauce cups is extruded to make the horizontally stacked stack of sauce cups more closely stacked; after the pushing is completed, the blocking assembly makes the blocking rod 52 in the storage state, and the external material sorting and transferring mechanism transfers the stack of sauce cups in the preset quantity and in the horizontally stacked state to the external packaging machine; at this time, the first sensor 6 generates a first signal, and the blocking assembly makes the blocking rod 52 in the blocking state, and the sorting assembly pushes the horizontally stacked stack of sauce cups to the carrying table 2 according to the first signal, so that the external material sorting and transferring mechanism transfers the stack of sauce cups in the preset quantity to the external packaging machine again.

[0029] The embodiment cooperates the sorting assembly, the blocking assembly and the first sensor 6, so that the stack of sauce cups can be automatically sorted during the conveying of the stack of sauce cups in the stacked state, so that the external material sorting and transferring mechanism transfers the stack of sauce cups in the preset quantity to the external packaging machine for bagging and packaging, without manual sorting operation, thereby improving the packaging production efficiency of the sauce cups.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the sorting mechanism for the sauce cups in the embodiment, in some embodiments, the carrying table 2 is provided with at least two guide rods 4; the carrying table 2 is provided with a blocking assembly corresponding to the position of each guide rod 4; and the carrying table 2 is provided with a first sensor 6 on both sides of each guide rod 4.

[0031] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , four guide rods 4 are arranged on the carrying table 2, and the four guide rods 4 are evenly distributed at both ends of the carrying table 2, that is, four rows of conveying lines are formed, and the two guide rods 4 at the same end of the carrying table 2 form a group; in actual use, the external conveying mechanism simultaneously conveys four rows of stacks of sauce cups in the vertically stacked state, and the four rows of stacks of sauce cups in the vertically stacked state can be simultaneously conveyed to the conveying assembly 1, at which time the four rows of stacks of sauce cups are changed from the vertically stacked state to the horizontally stacked state; in this way, the packaging production efficiency of the sauce cups is further improved.

[0032] In actual application, after the second signal is generated by each first sensor 6, each blocking component respectively makes the blocking rod 52 in the storage state, and then the external transfer mechanism sequentially transfers the preset number of sauce cup stacks on each row of conveying lines to the external packaging machine until the first signal is generated by each first sensor 6, the therapy component makes the push plate 35 push the horizontally stacked sauce cup stack to the support table 2, and each blocking component makes the blocking rod 52 in the blocking state. At this time, each first sensor 6 will generate a second signal again, and then the external transfer mechanism transfers the sauce cup stack on each row of conveying lines again; such a cycle is repeated to continuously sort the sauce cup stacks.

[0033] Of course, in actual application, when the first signal is generated by the first sensor 6, the corresponding blocking component can make the corresponding blocking rod 52 in the blocking state, without waiting for the first signal to be generated by other first sensors 6. The user can freely set according to the actual design needs.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the sauce cup sorting mechanism described in the embodiment, in some embodiments, the sorting component further comprises a support table 31, a first displacement mechanism 32 arranged on the support table 31, and a second displacement mechanism 33 arranged on the output end of the first displacement mechanism 32; the push plate 35 is arranged on the output end of the second displacement mechanism 33; the first displacement mechanism 32 drives the push plate 35 to move along the conveying direction of the sauce cup stack through the second displacement mechanism 33, and the second displacement mechanism 33 drives the push plate 35 to move along the vertical direction. Preferably, the first displacement mechanism 32 is a linear module, and the second displacement mechanism 33 is a displacement cylinder.

[0035] Specifically, the support table 31 is connected with both sides of the conveying assembly 1 to realize the installation of the support table 31, and the first displacement mechanism 32 and the second displacement mechanism 33 are installed by arranging the support table 31; when it is necessary to apply a squeezing pushing force to the horizontally stacked sauce cup stack through the push plate 35, the linear module drives the push plate 35 to move in the conveying direction of the sauce cup stack through the displacement cylinder to adjust the position of the push plate 35, and the displacement cylinder drives the push plate 35 to move in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the push plate 35; thus, the sorting operation of the sauce cup stack is realized.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 , the sauce cup sorting mechanism described in the embodiment, in some embodiments, the push plate 35 is located between the adjacent two guide rods 4. In this way, when the push plate 35 is working, the push plate 35 can simultaneously sort the sauce cup stacks on the two rows of conveying lines, improve the efficiency of sorting, and thus improve the packaging production efficiency of the sauce cup.

[0037] AsFigure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, in this embodiment, the support platform 31 is slidably equipped with a sliding frame 34, which is connected to the output end of the first displacement mechanism 32, and the second displacement mechanism 33 is disposed on the sliding frame 34. Preferably, the second displacement mechanism 33 is installed at both ends of the sliding frame 34, and each second displacement mechanism 33 is connected to a push plate 35 at its output end. This embodiment uses a sliding frame 34 to facilitate the installation of the second displacement mechanism 33. In actual use, the linear module drives the sliding frame 34 to slide, the sliding frame 34 drives the two second displacement mechanisms 33 to move synchronously, and the two second displacement mechanisms 33 respectively drive the push plate 35 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the push plate 35 in the sauce cup stack conveying direction to perform a material handling operation on the sauce cup stack.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, in some embodiments of the sauce cup feeding mechanism, both ends of the sliding frame 34 are provided with connecting seats 341, and the two second displacement mechanisms 33 are respectively installed on the two connecting seats 341. This embodiment uses connecting seats 341 to facilitate the installation of the two displacement cylinders, thereby reducing the stroke of the displacement cylinders and saving energy. Preferably, the connecting seat 341 has an I-shaped structure.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, in some embodiments of the sauce cup feeding mechanism, the blocking component further includes a blocking cylinder 51 installed on the bottom surface of the support platform 2; the blocking rod 52 is connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder 51; the support platform 2 is provided with a through hole 21 corresponding to the position of the blocking rod 52; when the blocking cylinder 51 causes the blocking rod 52 to pass through the through hole 21 and protrude above the through hole 21, the blocking rod 52 is in a blocking state.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the blocking cylinder 51 drives the blocking rod 52 upward through the through hole 21, the blocking rod 52 is in a blocking state to block the sauce cup stack and prevent the sauce cup stack from falling off the support platform 2; when the blocking cylinder 51 drives the blocking rod 52 downward back into the through hole 21, the blocking rod 52 is in a retracted state so that the external transfer mechanism can transfer the sauce cup stack on the support platform 2 to the external packaging machine.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the second displacement mechanism 33 is connected with a first pushing seat 331 at the output end, a connecting rod 351 is slidably arranged on the first pushing seat 331, the pushing plate 35 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 351, the other end of the connecting rod 351 is connected with a second pushing seat 352, the second pushing seat 352 is provided with a baffle 353, the first pushing seat 331 is provided with a second sensor 332, a spring 354 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod 351, and the two ends of the spring 354 are respectively in abutment with the pushing plate 35 and the first pushing seat 331. Specifically, the number of connecting rods 351 is two, the two connecting rods 351 are arranged at intervals, the spring 354 is sleeved on each connecting rod 351, and the pushing plate 35 is connected with the two connecting rods 351.

[0042] When the sauce cup stack is arranged, the pushing plate 35 is in contact with the sauce cup stack, and a pushing force is applied to the direction of the bearing table 2. With the extrusion of the pushing plate 35, the reaction force of the sauce cup stack on the pushing plate 35 increases, so that the pushing plate 35 and the connecting rod 351 slide relative to the first pushing seat 331, the spring 354 is compressed, the connecting rod 351 drives the second pushing seat 352 to move, so that the baffle 353 corresponds to the position of the second sensor 332. At this time, the second sensor 332 generates a third signal, and the linear module drives the pushing plate 35 to move reversely according to the third signal, so as to release the extrusion on the sauce cup stack. The pushing plate 35 releases the extrusion on the spring 354, the spring 354 pushes the pushing plate 35 to reset, the displacement cylinder drives the pushing plate 35 to move upward to reset, so as to complete the arrangement operation.

[0043] In this embodiment, the pushing plate 35 is slidably arranged on the first pushing seat 331 through the connecting rod 351, the spring 354 is arranged between the pushing plate 35 and the first pushing seat 331, the second pushing seat 352 is arranged on the connecting rod 351, the baffle 353 is arranged on the second pushing seat 352, and the second sensor 332 is arranged on the first pushing seat 331. Therefore, the pushing plate 35 can effectively prevent the horizontal stacked sauce cup stack from being bent or arched, or even loosened, when the pushing force is too large during the arrangement process, so that the reliability of the arrangement operation is higher.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the two sides of the conveying assembly 1 are provided with a third sensor 7. In this embodiment, when the third sensor 7 generates a fourth signal after the conveying assembly 1 is horizontally stacked with too many sauce cup stacks, the arrangement assembly controls the pushing plate 35 to apply a pushing force to the horizontally stacked sauce cup stack along the conveying direction of the sauce cup stack according to the fourth signal, so that the sauce cup stacks can be closely stacked together, so as to ensure that the subsequent external transfer mechanism can reliably grasp a preset number of sauce cup stacks.

[0045] As Figure 1 shown, the sauce cup arrangement mechanism in some embodiments, the conveying assembly 1 comprises a conveying bracket, a transmission belt rotatably connected to the conveying bracket, and a power member mounted on the conveying bracket and used for driving the transmission belt to rotate cyclically. The power member adopts an existing motor driving structure. The transmission belt is driven to rotate cyclically by the power member, thereby achieving the conveying of the sauce cup stack.

[0046] Preferably, as Figure 3 shown, the third sensor 7 is detachably connected to the conveying bracket, so that the position of the third sensor 7 can be adjusted, and the structure is more flexible.

[0047] The above is only one preferred embodiment of the present application, so any equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the patent application range of the present application are included in the protection scope of the patent application of the present application.
