Therefore, a paper cup using polylactic acid (PLA) as the film-coated material is developed, which has the characteristics of environmental protection and biodegradability. PLA is a new biodegradable material made from starch raw materials extracted from renewable plant resources such as corn, and can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water in the natural environment through fermentation and polymerization reaction, without causing pollution to the environment. After film-coating, slitting, printing, die-cutting and other processes, the paper cup enters the forming stage. After the cup body is formed, it needs to be dried by a drying machine to completely cure the PLA film-coated material, improve the waterproof performance and prevent the paper cup from being deformed due to moisture during storage or use.

[0021] The residues on the paper cup are not easily attached to the conveying belt 1010 by the regular slight vibration generated by the vibration assembly 200, and the glue attached to the surface of the conveying belt 1010 is cleaned and collected by the auxiliary assembly 300.

[0022] The improvement of the embodiment is that:

[0023] The residues on the paper cup are not easily attached to the conveying belt 1010 by the regular slight vibration generated by the vibration assembly 200, and the glue attached to the surface of the conveying belt 1010 is cleaned and collected by the auxiliary assembly 300.

[0024] First, in order to avoid the paper dust impurities adhere to the conveyor belt 1010, the vibration assembly 200 includes a support rod 201 and eccentric wheel 202, the support rod 201 end with eccentric wheel 202 surface connection. The bottom surface of the mounting seat 101 one side is installed with a connecting plate 1013, the connecting plate 1013 surface is installed with a drive motor 1014, the drive motor 1014 output end and support rod 201 end connection; when the drive motor 1014 rotates, drive eccentric wheel 202 rotation, because the center of gravity of eccentric wheel 202 offset, will make the support rod 201 produce regular slight vibration. The vibration is transmitted to the conveyor belt 1010, make the paper cup placed on the conveyor belt 1010 also produce corresponding slight vibration. Through the generation of regular slight vibration, the paper dust on the paper cup is not easy to adhere to the conveyor belt 1010. The vibration can destroy the adhesion between the paper dust and the conveyor belt 1010, let the paper dust more easily fall off, keep the surface of the conveyor belt 1010 clean, reduce the influence of paper dust on the subsequent drying and cleaning work.

[0025] Second, in order to clean and collect the adhesive on the surface of the conveyor belt 1010, the auxiliary assembly 300 includes a cleaning plate 301 and a collection box 302, the cleaning plate 301 opposite two side walls and the bottom end of the mounting seat 101 opposite two inner walls are connected, the cleaning plate 301 top end and the bottom of the conveyor belt 1010 are attached; the cleaning plate 301 bottom end is provided with a sliding groove, the collection box 302 top end is installed with a sliding block 3020, the sliding block 3020 and the sliding groove slide fit; the cleaning plate 301 is driven by the conveyor belt 1010, and the relative friction with the surface of the conveyor belt 1010 is generated. The collection box 302 is installed below the cleaning plate 301, when the adhesive and other sticky substances fall off from the paper cup and adhere to the surface of the conveyor belt 1010, the cleaning plate 301 will clean the glue, scrape it off, the scraped glue falls along the cleaning plate 301 into the collection box 302, prevent the glue from accumulating on the surface of the conveyor belt 1010, affect the performance of the conveyor belt 1010 and the drying quality of the paper cup, at the same time collect the glue to facilitate the subsequent centralized processing.

[0026] The utility model discloses polylactic acid membrane-coated paper cup drying machine in specific use, and the operator places polylactic acid membrane-coated paper cup at the feed inlet end of conveyer belt 1010.

Under the action of this continuous slight vibration, the adhesion between the paper scrap on the surface and conveyer belt 1010 gradually weakens, and the paper scrap starts to fall off from the paper cup and scatters on conveyer belt 1010. At the same time, the heating pipe 1012 in the heating cover 1011 starts heating, and the temperature in the heating cover 1011 gradually rises to the set drying temperature. With the continuous operation of the motor that controls the operation of conveyer belt 1010, the conveyer belt 1010 with the paper cup slowly passes through the area of heating cover 1011. In this process, the paper cup is affected by the heat emitted by heating pipe 1012, and the moisture gradually evaporates, realizing drying. At the same time, the vibration generated by vibration assembly 200 makes the paper scrap on the paper cup not easy to adhere to conveyer belt 1010, and keeps the surface of conveyer belt 1010 relatively clean. In the process of conveying the paper cup by conveyer belt 1010, the cleaning plate 301 closely adheres to the surface of conveyer belt 1010, and is relatively rubbed under the drive of conveyer belt 1010, and the glue and paper scrap impurities adhered to the surface are scraped off, and flow into the collection box 302 along the cleaning plate 301, realizing the centralized collection of impurities. The sliding block 3020 in the collection box 302 slides in the sliding groove, facilitating the installation and dismounting of the collection box 302, so as to regularly clean the impurities. The paper cup after drying and cleaning reaches the outlet end with the operation of conveyer belt 1010, and the operator takes out the dried paper cup from the outlet end, completing the whole drying process.
