Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage sealing technology, and in particular to a cup holder for a beverage sealing machine and a beverage sealing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the fresh-squeezed beverage industry, packaging containers are generally cups. Current packaging cups are typically frustoconical cups with a wide mouth and a ring-shaped outward-flaring rim. The workflow of a beverage sealing machine is as follows: automatic cup unloading, automatic lid placement, automatic sealing, and automatic cup dispensing. The sealing machine is equipped with a cup holder; the cup is placed in the holder, and the sealing machine uses a film to seal the cup mouth. Then, heat pressing is used to firmly press the film onto the cup mouth, and finally, the cup is cut off from the film.

[0003] Chinese patent CN221520118U discloses a cup holder for a beverage sealing machine, including a tray plate. A support edge is provided on the upper surface of the tray plate, and the lower part of the tray plate is a plate. This plate is fixed below the hot pressing structure of the sealing machine. A support edge is fixed on the tray plate, and an inner hole is opened on the tray plate corresponding to the inner hole of the support edge. This inner hole is coaxial with the inner hole of the support edge. In use, the cup is placed into the support edge and the inner hole of the tray plate. The outer edge of the cup is supported on the support edge. After the film is applied to the end of the cup, the hot pressing mechanism presses the film onto the outer edge of the cup. In this process, the support edge plays a supporting role.

[0004] However, this cup holder cannot guarantee the stability of the cup after it automatically falls into the holder and bounces upwards. The stability is even worse for slightly larger cups. Especially during the beverage filling process, the flow of liquid may cause the cup to shake, resulting in the beverage spilling out of the cup, causing waste and soiling the sealing machine's surrounding surface. Furthermore, the displacement of the cup after liquid filling can cause errors in the sealing process. In addition, this cup holder does not have a beverage weighing function, which cannot meet the needs of situations where beverage weighing is required, making its functionality relatively limited. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model aims to provide a cup holder for a beverage sealing machine that ensures the stability of the packaged cup after it automatically falls into the cup holder, prevents the packaged cup from rebounding after falling, and prevents the packaged cup from shaking during the beverage filling process. It also adds a weighing function.

[0006] The main idea of ​​the technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: a protective structure is set up to ensure the stability of the packaging cup after it automatically falls into the cup holder; a measuring device is set up to make it suitable for beverage packaging machines that require weighing.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A cup holder for a beverage sealing machine includes a tray plate and a support edge installed on the side of the beverage sealing machine. The tray plate is located below the support edge and away from the lower surface of the support edge. A protective structure for wrapping a packaged cup is connected to the upper surface of the tray plate, and the protective structure is located below the support edge.

[0009] Furthermore, based on the above technical solution, the protective structure includes a base, and multiple fences are connected along the periphery of the upper surface of the base; the base and the inner hole of the support are coaxial.

[0010] Furthermore, through the above technical solution, the bottom end of the fence is connected to the upper surface of the base, and the top end of the fence extends in a direction away from the axis of the base.

[0011] Furthermore, based on the above technical solution: the fence includes an upper railing and a lower railing, the lower railing is connected to the base, the bottom end of the upper railing is connected to the lower railing, the top end of the upper railing is bent away from the axis of the base, and the angle between the upper railing and the lower railing in the direction away from the axis of the base is no greater than 180 degrees. 0 The obtuse angle.

[0012] Furthermore, the above technical solution includes: a weighing device connected to the upper surface of the pallet, and a protective structure connected to the end of the weighing device away from the pallet.

[0013] This utility model also discloses a beverage sealing machine, including a cup holder, wherein the cup holder is any of the aforementioned beverage sealing machine cup holders, and the tray and support are connected to one side of the beverage sealing machine.

[0014] This utility model also discloses a beverage vending machine, including a beverage sealing machine and an automatic cup dispenser. The beverage sealing machine is the beverage sealing machine with the aforementioned structure and is adapted to the automatic cup dispenser.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the improvement of this utility model lies in that...

[0016] ① By setting up a protective structure, the stability of the packaging cup after it automatically falls into the cup holder can be guaranteed. On the one hand, it prevents the cup from rebounding after falling, and on the other hand, it prevents the packaging cup from shaking during the beverage injection process. This reduces the liquid spillage caused by the unstable packaging cup during the injection process, which would result in beverage waste. It also avoids errors in the sealing process, which would result in poor sealing effect. Human contact is avoided during the entire sealing process of the sealing machine, thereby achieving fast sealing and tight, consistent sealing.

[0017] ② By setting up a fence, the packaging cup can fit more closely to its outer wall, making it more stable. Furthermore, the angle between the upper and lower fences facing away from the base axis should not exceed 180 degrees. 0 The obtuse-angled structure serves to support the packaging cup. In addition, the packaging cup can fall to the base along the arc of the upper and lower rails. The simple railing structure improves the accuracy of cup dropping and the efficiency of sealing.

[0018] ③ By installing a meter at the bottom of the protective structure, a weighing function can be added to meet the needs of measuring the weight of the liquid being dispensed. The weighing device is accurate, ensuring that every cup of liquid is of sufficient quantity, thus making it suitable for more scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] The inventors discovered that in the operation of existing fresh-pressed beverage sealing machines, after the automatic cup dropper drops the cup, the packaging cup bounces back, and during the liquid filling process, the packaging cup shakes, which may even cause the liquid to spill out of the cup; in addition, it cannot meet the requirement of measuring the weight of the beverage.

[0026] Based on the above findings, this application proposes a cup holder for a beverage sealing machine. The protective structure is designed to ensure the stability of the packaged cup after it automatically falls into the cup holder, preventing it from rebounding after falling and preventing the packaged cup from shaking during beverage injection. The measuring device meets the requirements for measuring the weight of the injected liquid. At the same time, the design is simple and easy to operate, which can improve the accuracy of liquid injection and the efficiency of sealing. Example

[0027] Please see Figure 1-3 A cup holder for a beverage sealing machine includes a tray 1 and a support edge 2 installed on the side of the beverage sealing machine. The tray 1 is located below the support edge 2 and away from the lower surface of the support edge 2. A protective structure for wrapping the packaged cup is connected to the upper surface of the tray 1, and the protective structure is located below the support edge 2.

[0028] The protective structure ensures the stability of the packaging cup after it automatically falls into the cup holder. On the one hand, it prevents the cup from rebounding after falling, and on the other hand, it prevents the packaging cup from shaking during the beverage injection process. This reduces liquid spillage caused by unstable packaging cups, which would otherwise lead to beverage waste. It also avoids errors in the sealing process, resulting in poor sealing effect. The sealing machine avoids human contact throughout the sealing process, thus achieving fast sealing with tight and consistent results.

[0029] The protective structure includes a base 3, and multiple fences 4 are connected around the periphery of the upper surface of the base 3; the base 3 and the inner hole of the support 2 are coaxial.

[0030] The bottom end of the fence 4 is connected to the upper surface of the base 3, and the top end of the fence 4 extends away from the axis of the base 3.

[0031] The fence 4 includes an upper railing 4-1 and a lower railing 4-2. The lower railing 4-2 is connected to the base 3. The bottom end of the upper railing 4-1 is connected to the lower railing 4-2. The top end of the upper railing 4-1 is bent away from the axis of the base 3. The angle between the upper railing 4-1 and the lower railing 4-2 in the direction away from the axis of the base 3 is no greater than 180 degrees. 0 The obtuse angle.

[0032] The obtuse angle structure of the upper rail 4-1 and the lower rail 4-2 not only supports the packaging cup, but also allows the packaging cup to fall smoothly into the cup holder along the arc of the upper rail 4-1 and the lower rail 4-2.

[0033] The simple structure of Fence 4 improves the accuracy of cup dropping and the efficiency of sealing.

[0034] This embodiment is applicable to various beverage sealing machines, and can be further applied to various beverage vending machines for beverage sales. Example

[0035] This embodiment has the same structure as the cup holder for a beverage sealing machine in Embodiment 1. The only difference is that... (Please refer to...) Figure 4 A weighing device 5 is connected to the upper surface of the tray 1, and a protective structure is connected to the end of the weighing device 5 away from the tray. This adds a weighing function to meet the needs of measuring the weight of the liquid being dispensed, and the weighing device 5 is accurate, ensuring that each cup of liquid is of sufficient quantity, thus making it suitable for more scenarios.

[0036] This embodiment is applicable to various beverage sealing machines, and can be further applied to various beverage vending machines for beverage sales.

[0037] The workflow of the beverage sealing machine as an example is as follows:

[0038] This beverage sealing machine is used in conjunction with an automatic cup dropper. Before filling the liquid, the cup holder is moved out of the beverage sealing machine along with the tray 1 and the support 2, and the automatic cup dropper automatically drops the packaged cup into the cup holder.

[0039] The obtuse angle structure of the upper rail 4-1 and the lower rail 4-2 not only supports the packaging cup, but also allows the packaging cup to fall smoothly into the cup holder along the arc of the upper rail 4-1 and the lower rail 4-2.

[0040] After the liquid beverage filling is completed, the tray 1 and the support edge 2 move the cup holder and the packaged cup containing the liquid into the beverage sealing machine together. At the same time, the tray 1 moves the cup holder downward so that the mouth of the packaged cup fits with the support edge 2, and then the packaged cup is sealed.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
