[0003] In the paper cup production process, the paper cup collected after processing and forming is an important link, so as to subsequent packaging, storage for transportation. At present, the collection methods of paper cup mainly have the following kinds: one is to rely on manual operation, workers need to manually take down paper cup from production line and arrange and stack. This way is not only inefficient, consumes a lot of manpower, and is easy to cause the surface of paper cup to be contaminated or damaged, affecting product quality. Another is to set collecting frame and blocking plate at the outlet of material conveying pipe, open the blocking plate and put down the collecting frame after collecting a certain amount, so as to take out the stacked paper cup on the collecting frame, but this way needs to use the cooperation of blocking plate and collecting frame, and the collection procedure is complicated, and moreover, the paper cup blocked by the blocking plate is still stacked in the process of putting down the collecting frame, which is easy to cause paper cup congestion, and when the blocking plate is opened, the stacked paper cup on the blocking plate will fall on the collecting frame, which has certain risk of damaging paper cup, affecting the quality of paper cup.
[0004] Therefore, a more simple and reliable way is needed to solve the above problems. INVENTION CONTENTS
[0005] The utility model provides a kind of forming paper cup collecting device to solve at least one of the above technical problems.
[0006] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows: a kind of forming paper cup collecting device, including material conveying barrel and the collecting mechanism matched with the material conveying barrel, the collecting mechanism has the guide collecting plate connected with the material conveying barrel, the guide collecting plate has included angle with horizontal plane, the guide collecting plate has the baffle that limits paper cup position, the baffle includes tail baffle and side baffle, the side baffle has pusher mechanism on one side, the pusher mechanism has pusher hydraulic rod and pusher plate that moves along the width direction of the guide collecting plate, the side of the guide collecting plate opposite to the pusher mechanism has transport mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the transport mechanism is a conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is provided with a limiting block.
[0008] Preferably, the guiding and collecting plate is in the shape of a rectangle or a circular arc, and the pushing plate is in the shape of a rectangle or a circular arc.
[0009] Preferably, the guiding and collecting plate comprises a first collecting plate and a second collecting plate, and the first collecting plate and the second collecting plate are slidingly connected.
[0010] Preferably, the pushing plate comprises a first pushing plate and a second pushing plate, and the first pushing plate and the second pushing plate are slidingly connected.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the guiding and collecting plate is provided with a polyurethane coating, a polytetrafluoroethylene coating or a silicon dioxide nano coating for reducing friction.
[0012] Preferably, the pushing plate is perpendicular to the guiding and collecting plate, and the height of the pushing plate from the guiding and collecting plate is less than the radius of the paper cup.
[0013] Preferably, the distance between the side of the guiding and collecting plate close to the conveying mechanism and the horizontal ground is greater than the distance between the side of the guiding and collecting plate close to the pushing mechanism and the horizontal ground.
[0014] Preferably, the height of the pushing plate from the guiding and collecting plate is consistent with the height of the side of the guiding and collecting plate close to the conveying mechanism.
[0015] Preferably, the pushing mechanism further comprises a guide rail extending along the length direction of the guiding and collecting plate, the guide rail is provided with a sliding block sliding along the guide rail, and the pushing hydraulic rod is connected to the sliding block.
[0016] Thanks to the above technical scheme, the present application has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. The forming paper cup collecting device comprises a conveying cylinder and a collecting mechanism matched with the conveying cylinder, and the forming paper cup at the outlet of the conveying cylinder directly enters the collecting mechanism, so that the process is simple and fast.
[0018] 2. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, when a conveyor belt is used as the transport mechanism, after the formed paper cups are stacked to a certain quantity, the pusher plate directly pushes the stacked formed paper cups onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt will transport the paper cups to the automatic packaging area. In addition, the conveyor belt transport can provide moderate friction to prevent the paper cups from sliding or tipping over, which facilitates operations such as random inspection of the paper cups and forms an efficient production line. The inclination angle of the conveyor belt is consistent with that of the guide collection plate, which can ensure smooth and unobstructed pushing of the paper cups. Limiting blocks are also set on the conveyor belt to effectively prevent the paper cups from slipping off the inclined conveyor belt due to excessive weight when stacked too many times.
[0019] 3. In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide collecting plate is shaped like an arc. The arc-shaped guide collecting plate can better fit with the discharge port of the conveyor cylinder. The arc transition can eliminate the risk of paper cups stagnating at the outlet, prevent the cup mouth or bottom from getting stuck in the gap, and ensure continuous flow. In addition, the arc-shaped guide plate generates a guiding force towards the center during the movement of the paper cup, causing the paper cup to automatically align with the baffle restriction area. On the other hand, the side baffle connected at the arc end can smoothly transition to the conveyor belt, avoiding the risk of collision deformation caused by right angle transition.
[0020] The pusher plate is designed in an arc shape. On the one hand, the arc shape of the pusher plate can cooperate with the arc shape of the guide collection plate, which helps to avoid uneven force or material jamming caused by the guide collection plate being arc-shaped but the pusher plate being rectangular. On the other hand, the arc shape of the pusher plate can fit the side shape of the paper cup, so that the pusher plate side in contact with the paper cup is evenly stressed, which helps the pusher plate to smoothly push the paper cup to the conveyor belt.
[0021] 4. In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide collecting plate is designed as two parts, namely a first collecting plate and a second collecting plate. The first collecting plate is fitted with the outlet of the conveying cylinder, and the second collecting plate is slidably connected to the first collecting plate, so that the guide collecting plate has a telescopic function. With the help of a pressure sensor, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual business scenario to meet the requirements of the number of paper cups stacked. At the same time, the pusher plate is also designed as two parts, namely a first pusher plate and a second pusher plate. The second pusher plate is slidably connected to the first pusher plate, so that the pusher plate also has a telescopic function, which is adapted to the telescopic function of the guide collecting plate. This effectively prevents uneven force caused by changes in contact area, and prevents the paper cups from tilting and affecting the conveying when pushing the stacked paper cups.
[0022] 5. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a layer of silica nano-coating is applied to the surface of the guide collection plate. The nano-coating has excellent wear resistance, which can make the surface of the guide collection plate smoother and help reduce the resistance during the paper cup stacking process.
[0023] 6. In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the distance between the guide collecting plate near the conveying mechanism and the horizontal ground is greater than the distance between the guide collecting plate near the pushing mechanism and the horizontal ground. This causes the guide collecting plate to tilt towards the side near the pushing mechanism. By coordinating the tilt angle of the guide collecting plate with the height of the side baffle, the risk of the formed paper cups slipping off the sides of the guide collecting plate during stacking can be effectively avoided. The pushing plate is kept perpendicular to the guide collecting plate, allowing it to move smoothly along the width of the guide collecting plate. The height of the pushing plate from the guide collecting plate is less than the radius of the paper cup, ensuring that the pushing plate can push the paper cup normally and preventing the problem of the pushing plate being too high to push the paper cup. The height of the pushing plate from the guide collecting plate is the same as the height of the guide collecting plate near the conveying mechanism, effectively ensuring that the pushing plate smoothly pushes the paper cup onto the conveying mechanism, cooperating with the conveyor belt to improve collection efficiency.
[0024] 7. In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pushing mechanism further includes a guide rail at the same angle as the guide collecting plate, so that the guide rail and the guide collecting plate are in a parallel state, so that the pushing plate can move along the width direction of the guide collecting plate. The guide rail has a slider that slides along the guide rail. A pushing hydraulic rod that moves along the width direction of the guide collecting plate is fixedly connected between the slider and the pushing plate. When the guide collecting plate and the pushing plate are extended, the number of paper cups stacked increases. By changing the relative position of the pushing plate by sliding the slider on the guide rail, the force point during the pushing process can be located in the middle of the stacked paper cups, making the force more uniform and avoiding the tilting of the stacked paper cups due to uneven force. This is beneficial to improving the paper cup collection quality and collection efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Example 2
[0048] As Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, a guide collecting plate 21 and a pusher plate 41 of a forming paper cup collecting device are different from those in Embodiment 1. The guide collecting plate 21 includes two parts, namely a first collecting plate 211 and a second collecting plate 212. The upper end of the first collecting plate 211 is fixedly connected to the conveying cylinder 1, and the second collecting plate 212 is connected to the bottom end of the first collecting plate 211 through a slide rail. When it is necessary to increase the number of stacked forming paper cups 6, the second collecting plate 212 can be extended so that the guide collecting plate 21 can accommodate more stacked forming paper cups 6, which is beneficial to adapting to the stacking requirements of non-forming paper cups 6.
