Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plastic cup production equipment, and in particular to an anti-tipping cooling device for plastic cup processing. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling is a crucial step in the production of plastic cups, its main purpose being to rapidly reduce the temperature of the cups to ensure their shape stability and quality reliability. Existing cooling technologies primarily include air cooling and water cooling. Air cooling systems typically use fans to blow air onto the surface of the plastic cups to achieve a cooling effect. However, due to uneven airflow and fluctuations in wind speed, this often leads to localized areas of excessively high or low temperatures, affecting the quality of the cups and production efficiency. Water cooling systems, on the other hand, cool the surface of the plastic cups by spraying coolant onto them. This method effectively solves the problem of uneven temperature distribution in air cooling. However, traditional water cooling systems have several problems in practical applications: Firstly, the coolant is easily contaminated during circulation, and impurities deposited in the coolant can reduce its cooling effect, and in severe cases, even affect the coolant's fluidity and heat exchange efficiency. Secondly, the accumulation of impurities in the coolant can clog cooling pipes and nozzles, affecting the normal operation of the entire system. Furthermore, traditional water cooling systems usually require manual cleaning of the coolant, increasing labor intensity, and the frequent replacement of the coolant increases production costs.

[0003] Therefore, a solution is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6An embodiment of this utility model provides an anti-tipping cooling device for processing plastic cups, comprising a frame 2 and a conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 is installed inside the frame 2 and is used to transport plastic cups. Multiple through slots are equidistantly opened on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 1. A pump body 401 is installed on the outer side of the frame 2. A second connecting pipe 403 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump body 401, and a first connecting pipe 402 is fixedly connected to the input end of the pump body 401. An annular pipe 405 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 403. Multiple nozzles 404 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the annular pipe 405. A filter plate 505 is detachably connected to the inner side of the frame 2. A servo motor 501 is installed on the outer side of the frame 2. A drive screw 502 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 501. A scraper 503 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the drive screw 502. An anti-tipping component is installed on the inner top of the conveyor belt 1. One end of the first connecting pipe 402 is connected to the inside of the frame 2, and the annular pipe 405 is fixedly connected to the inside of the frame 2.

[0025] Specifically, frame 2 provides structural support and fixing devices for the cooling device. Frame 2 is constructed of metal or other robust materials to ensure the stability of the equipment. Conveyor belt 1 passes through the interior of frame 2, and its main function is to transport plastic cups. The plastic cups on conveyor belt 1 undergo cooling treatment during transportation, thereby achieving a cooling effect. Multiple slots are evenly spaced on the outer surface of conveyor belt 1. These slots help to evenly distribute the coolant on conveyor belt 1, ensuring smooth flow and uniform absorption by the plastic cups. Through these slots, the coolant can contact the plastic cups as it flows on the surface of conveyor belt 1, carrying away heat and thus achieving cooling. Pump body 401 draws coolant from the bottom and delivers it to the cooling area through a piping system. The operation of pump body 401 ensures continuous flow of coolant, providing the necessary power for the cooling process. An annular pipe 405 is fixed inside frame 2. Multiple nozzles 404 are distributed inside the annular pipe 405. These nozzles 404 are responsible for evenly spraying coolant onto the surface of the passing plastic cups for cooling treatment. The 404 nozzle design allows the coolant to be precisely sprayed onto the surface of each plastic cup, thereby improving the uniformity of the cooling effect.

[0026] The function of filter plate 505 is to filter impurities in the coolant. After the coolant is sprayed through nozzle 404 and comes into contact with the surface of the plastic cup, it flows along the grooves on the surface of conveyor belt 1 onto filter plate 505. During the flow, filter plate 505 effectively captures solid impurities (such as dust, dirt, etc.) in the coolant, preventing these impurities from entering the coolant circulation system. The coolant filtered by filter plate 505 will flow back into the interior of frame 2 and can be reused.

[0027] By activating the servo motor 501, the drive screw 502 is rotated, which in turn drives the scraper 503 to reciprocate along the outer surface of the screw. Precise control of the servo motor 501 ensures the movement path and force of the scraper 503, thereby maintaining the high efficiency of the cleaning process.

[0028] The anti-tipping assembly includes a mounting plate 6, which is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the frame 2. An electric guide rail 701 is mounted on the bottom end of the mounting plate 6. Multiple electric sliders 702 are mounted on the outer side of the electric guide rail 701. A first electric telescopic rod 703 is mounted on the bottom end of the electric slider 702. A fixed plate 706 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first electric telescopic rod 703. A second electric telescopic rod 705 is mounted on the outer side of the fixed plate 706. Multiple connecting rods 707 are rotatably connected to the outer side of the fixed plate 706. A gripper 704 is rotatably connected to one side of each connecting rod 707.

[0029] Specifically, the position of the anti-tipping component is adjusted by coordinating the electric guide rail 701 and the electric slider 702. At this time, the second electric telescopic rod 705 is activated, driving the connecting rod 707 to extend outward. In this way, multiple grippers 704 expand outward, gradually contacting the outer wall of the plastic cup and preparing for the fixing action. After the grippers 704 expand outward, the first electric telescopic rod 703 is activated, causing the grippers 704 to move inward along the connecting rod 707, gradually bringing the grippers 704 to the inside of the plastic cup. At this point, the inside of the grippers 704 is tightly pressed against the outer wall of the plastic cup, ensuring that the grippers 704 can firmly clamp the plastic cup.

[0030] When the gripper 704 approaches and contacts the outer wall of the plastic cup, its clamping action secures the cup in place, preventing it from tilting or tipping over during transport. The design and operation of the gripper 704 ensures the plastic cup remains vertical on the conveyor belt 1, thus avoiding uneven or wasted coolant spraying caused by cup tilting. Once the gripper 704 has secured the plastic cup, the second electric telescopic rod 705 closes, ensuring the gripper 704 remains in a fixed position and will not loosen due to external vibration or force. At this point, the plastic cup will continue to move stably along the conveyor belt 1 under the protection of the anti-tipping mechanism until the processing is complete.

[0031] This clamping and securing mechanism effectively prevents the plastic cups from tilting or tipping over, ensuring that the coolant is evenly sprayed onto the surface of each cup and guaranteeing consistent cooling performance. Especially during high-speed production or mass production, this anti-tipping design significantly improves the efficiency and stability of the cooling system.

[0032] A guide rod 504 is slidably connected to a through hole on one side of the scraper 503. Both ends of the guide rod 504 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 2. The outer surface of the scraper 503 is in contact with the upper surface of the filter plate 505. The end of the drive screw 502 away from the servo motor 501 is movably connected to the inner wall of the frame 2 through a bearing.

[0033] Specifically, during the rotation of the drive screw 502, the scraper 503 slides along the guide rod 504. The guide rod 504 ensures that the sliding path of the scraper 503 is accurate, so that the scraper 503 can always be in contact with the surface of the filter plate 505 to clean impurities.

[0034] The frame 2 is externally fixedly connected to a controller 3, which is electrically connected to the servo motor 501 and the second electric telescopic rod 705.

[0035] Specifically, controller 3 is responsible for coordinating and managing the operation of each electric component. Controller 3 is electrically connected to servo motor 501 and the second electric telescopic rod 705, and can receive and send commands to control the start / stop, direction of movement, speed, and position of these components. Controller 3 can adjust the operating status of these components in real time based on operating commands or sensor feedback to ensure the normal operation of the entire cooling system and anti-tipping assembly.

[0036] Working principle: When using this device, the plastic cup is first transported by starting the conveyor belt 1. The plastic cup in the transport state passes through the inside of the frame 2. At this time, the pump body 401 is started, and the coolant at the bottom of the frame 2 enters the inside of the second connecting pipe 403 through the first connecting pipe 402. It is then transported to the inside of the annular pipe 405 through the second connecting pipe 403 and sprayed out through multiple nozzles 404 to cool the plastic cup during the transport process. At this time, the coolant flows through the groove on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 1 onto the outer surface of the filter plate 505. After being filtered by the filter plate 505, it flows back into the inside of the frame 2, realizing the recycling of coolant.

[0037] In addition, by starting the servo motor 501, the drive screw 502 is driven to rotate, which causes the scraper 503 to move back and forth along the outer surface of the drive screw 502. The scraper 503 contacts the filter plate 505 to clean the impurities on the outer surface of the filter plate 505, preventing the filter plate 505 from becoming clogged. This prevents the coolant from being contaminated during circulation and maintains the stability and durability of the cooling effect.

[0038] In addition, when cooling the plastic cup, the relative position of the anti-tipping component is changed by the cooperation of the electric guide rail 701 and the electric slider 702. At this time, the second electric telescopic rod 705 is activated to drive multiple grippers 704 to extend outward, the first electric telescopic rod 703 is activated to drive the grippers 704 to move closer to the inside of the plastic cup, and the second electric telescopic rod 705 is closed. In this way, the grippers 704 move inward under the swing action of the connecting rod 707 until the grippers 704 contact the outer wall of the plastic cup and fix it, thus avoiding uneven spraying of coolant due to the plastic cup tilting or tipping over.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
