[0003] In the prior art, the clamping and transfer of paper cups usually rely on simple mechanical clamping devices or manual operation. However, these methods have the following problems: insufficient stability: simple mechanical clamping devices are prone to cause paper cup deformation, damage, scattering and other problems when clamping paper cups, especially on high-speed production lines, the clamping force is not easy to control, which affects the product quality. Manual operation not only has low efficiency, but also is prone to cause paper cup damage or misplacement due to operation errors, which is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale automated production. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a paper cup clamping mechanism that can realize stable, accurate and efficient clamping and transfer in various links of paper cup production, improve production efficiency and product quality, and meet the actual needs of paper cup production enterprises.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0026] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-7 A paper cup clamping mechanism includes a horizontal plate 1 as a basic support part, and further includes: clamping arms 12 symmetrically slidably connected to the horizontal plate 1; actuating plates 15 respectively disposed at the ends of the clamping arms 12, wherein when the clamping arms 12 are far apart, the symmetrical actuating plates 15 are horizontal with the clamping arms 12, and when the clamping arms 12 are close together, the symmetrical actuating plates 15 are obtuse angles with the clamping arms 12, forming a V-shaped encircling area 5; and elastically telescopically symmetrically disposed limiting plates 24, wherein a figure-eight encircling limiting area 3 is formed between two adjacent limiting plates 24, and a diamond-shaped clamping area 6 is formed with the V-shaped encircling area 5.

[0027] A dual-axis cylinder 11 is installed on the horizontal plate 1. The two ends of the dual-axis cylinder 11 are connected to two clamping arms 12 respectively. The horizontal plate 1 has symmetrically opened sliding grooves 10, and the clamping arms 12 slide in the sliding grooves 10.

[0028] The actuating plate 15 is rotatably connected to the end of the clamping arm 12 via a rotating shaft. A torsion spring 18 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the actuating plate 15, and the two ends of the torsion spring 18 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and the clamping arm 12, respectively.

[0029] A gear 16 is fixedly connected to the actuating plate 15, and a rack 17 is installed on the horizontal plate 1. The rack 17 meshes with the gear 16.

[0030] A mounting plate 2 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 1. A sliding rod 21 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 2. A fixing block 23 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 21. A spring 22 is sleeved on the sliding rod 21. The two ends of the spring 22 are fixedly connected to the fixing block 23 and the mounting plate 2, respectively. A limiting plate 24 is rotatably connected to the sliding rod 21.

[0031] When in use, the clamping arm 12 moves down from above the stacked paper cups;

[0032] The clamping arms 12 move away from each other or move closer to each other under the action of the dual-axis cylinder 11. When they move closer to each other, they are used to clamp the stacked paper cups. The actuating plate 15 is horizontal with the clamping arms 12 under the action of the gear 16 and the rack 17 and has not yet formed a V-shaped encircling area 5.

[0033] When paper cups need to be clamped, the action of the dual-axis cylinder 11 causes the adjacent clamping arms 12 to move closer to each other. The actuating plate 15 rotates under the action of the gear 16 and the rack 17, and gradually forms an obtuse angle with the clamping arms 12, thereby forming a V-shaped encircling area 5. When the clamping arms 12 move closer to the paper cup, the actuating plate 15, which rotates in the direction of moving closer to the paper cup, can snag under the paper cup. When the stroke of the dual-axis cylinder 11 is reached, the gear 16 will disengage from the rack 17, the torsion spring 18 will lose its restriction, and then quickly reset. This allows the actuating plate 15 to quickly lift the clamped paper cup upward, thereby clamping the paper cup in the diamond-shaped clamping area 6 formed between the V-shaped encircling area 5 and the figure-eight encircling limiting area 3. Since the limiting plate 24 is connected to the mounting plate 2 through the spring 22, the paper cup can be more stable in the diamond-shaped clamping area 6.

[0034] In addition, the diamond-shaped clamping area 6 has multiple sides, which can increase the contact points with the paper cup, thereby enhancing the clamping stability of the paper cup and making the paper cup less prone to deformation, damage, and falling during clamping.

[0035] When the paper cup needs to be released, the dual-axis cylinder 11 drives the clamping arms 12 to move away from each other. At this time, the gear 16 meshes with the rack 17, driving the actuating plate 15 to rotate, so that the actuating plate 15 and the clamping arms 12 are horizontal. During the rotation of the actuating plate 15, the paper cup is gradually released. The actuating plate 15, which rotates horizontally with the clamping arms 12, guides and limits the released paper cup, thereby effectively preventing the paper cup from being misaligned or tilted when it is released.

[0036] Example 2: Refer to Figure 2A paper cup clamping mechanism is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, but further: a connecting plate 13 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 1, and a support rod 14 is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 12. The support rod 14 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 13 to support the clamping arm 12 and improve the stability of the clamping arm 12.

[0037] Limiting plates 24 are distributed on both sides of the horizontal plate 1 to further improve the clamping stability of the paper cup.

[0038] Both the limiting plate 24 and the toggle plate 15 have protective pads on one side to increase the friction between them and the paper cup and to prevent damage to the paper cup.

[0039] In one embodiment, multiple horizontal plates 1 can be installed on the connecting arm 4 according to actual conditions, thereby forming a clamping device with a certain length to meet the clamping requirements of paper cups stacked with different lengths.

[0040] This utility model forms a diamond-shaped clamping area 6 by combining a V-shaped encircling area 5 and a figure-eight encircling limiting area 3, which increases the contact points with the paper cup, improves the stability of the clamping, and prevents the paper cup from deforming, being damaged, or falling apart during the clamping process. Furthermore, the innovatively designed toggle plate 15 can effectively improve the clamping effect on the paper cup.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
