Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disposable cup technology, specifically to a disposable cup dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] Disposable cups are convenient and hygienic drinking containers widely used in homes, restaurants, offices, and outdoor activities. They are typically made of food-grade plastic, paper, or biodegradable materials, and are lightweight, leak-proof, and heat-resistant. They are suitable for holding hot and cold beverages such as coffee, tea, and juice. Various designs are available, including heat-resistant cups, cups with lids, and printed cups, to meet different needs. They require no washing after use, saving time and avoiding cross-contamination. Some environmentally friendly cups use biodegradable materials, reducing environmental impact, making them an economical and practical choice for modern fast-paced life.

[0003] However, it still has some drawbacks. For example, there are obvious deficiencies in the cup-separation process after the cups are dispensed. The traditional fixed channel design cannot adapt to different cup diameters, which makes it easy for cups to get stuck and deviate during the conveying process. This affects production efficiency and increases labor costs. At the same time, the fixed-size guide device is difficult to cope with differences in cup width.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a dispensing device for disposable cups. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a disposable cup dispensing device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the traditional cup dispensing channel cannot adapt to differences in cup diameter, resulting in jamming and displacement, which affects efficiency.

One side of the feeding waiting area is fixedly connected to the feeding assembly line, and one side of the feeding assembly line is fixedly connected to the cup inlet channel. A cup size control device is detachably mounted above the dispensing channel. The cup size control device can easily adjust the size of its internal channel to adapt to different cup diameters, ensuring that the disposable cup can remain centered on the dispensing channel and smoothly enter the packaging process after automatically adjusting according to the cup size, thus solving problems such as jamming and offset during the packaging process.

[0007] Preferably, one side of the cup feeding channel is fixedly connected to the cup separating device, one side of the cup separating device is equipped with a printing processing device, one side of the printing processing device is equipped with a color station, one side of the cup separating device is equipped with a curing device, and one side of the color station is equipped with an operating table.

[0008] Preferably, a cup dispensing channel is installed on one side of the cup dispensing device, a counting device is installed on one side of the cup dispensing channel, a packaging device is installed on one side of the cup dispensing channel, one side of the packaging device is fixedly connected to the finished product temporary storage area, and support frames are installed on both sides of the cup dispensing channel, and the support frames are provided in two sets, and the support frames are provided with mounting slots inside, and the mounting slots are provided in multiple sets.

[0009] Preferably, the cup size control device is fixedly connected to a fixing pin at the bottom, and multiple sets of fixing pins are provided. The fixing pins have a limiting fixing groove inside, and the cup size control device has a threaded groove inside. A threaded rod is movable inside the threaded groove. One side of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the turntable device, and the other side of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the limiting ring.
