Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of paper cup detection technology, specifically to a paper cup detection and rejection device. Background Technology

[0002] In the paper cup manufacturing industry, as market demands for product quality continue to rise, quality inspection and processing of paper cups have become crucial. Traditional paper cup inspection relies heavily on manual visual observation, requiring inspectors to work long hours and under high intensity. This is not only inefficient but also susceptible to subjective factors, leading to missed or incorrect inspections, making it difficult to guarantee the stability and consistency of product quality.

[0003] In the sorting and processing of paper cups, manual sorting is slow and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Previously, substandard paper cups were often simply piled up or discarded, which occupies a lot of space, wastes resources, and does not conform to the principles of green production and environmental protection. Furthermore, manual operation involves high labor intensity and safety hazards, increasing labor costs and management difficulties for enterprises. Therefore, developing a highly automated, accurate, and efficient paper cup inspection and rejection device has become an urgent need to solve current industry pain points and improve production efficiency and product quality.

It realizes fully automated closed-loop management from production to quality control, ensuring that only paper cups that meet the standards enter the market. The automated operation mode reduces manual participation, lowers labor costs, and enhances the company's economic benefits and competitiveness.

[0016] The combination of inspection camera one and inspection camera two in this invention enables multi-dimensional inspection of paper cups, allowing for rapid and accurate detection of minute defects, significantly improving inspection efficiency and accuracy.

[0030] See attached document Figures 1-6A paper cup inspection and rejection device includes a test conveyor belt 1 for conveying paper cups to be inspected. A detection mechanism 2 is provided on the test conveyor belt 1. The detection mechanism 2 sequentially inspects the paper cups conveyed on the test conveyor belt 1. A transfer mechanism 3 is provided on the left side of the test conveyor belt 1. A finished product conveyor belt 4 and a compression mechanism 5 are sequentially provided on the rear side of the test conveyor belt 1. Paper cups that pass the inspection are picked up by the transfer mechanism 3 and transferred to the finished product conveyor belt 4. Paper cups that fail the inspection are picked up by the transfer mechanism 3 and transferred to the compression mechanism 5. The compression mechanism 5 compresses the unqualified paper cups.

[0031] The detection mechanism 2 includes a fixed plate 21 fixed to one side of the conveyor belt 1 to be tested. A detection camera 23 for detecting the side of the paper cup is provided on the fixed plate 21. A support frame 22 is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 21. A camera mounting frame 24 is fixedly installed at the end of the support frame 22. A second detection camera 25 is fixedly installed on the camera mounting frame 24. The second detection camera 25 is located above the conveyor belt 1 to be tested and is used to detect the top surface of the paper cup.

[0032] The material transfer mechanism 3 includes a frame 31, on which a hydraulic cylinder 32 is fixedly mounted. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 33, and a clamping mechanism 36 is provided on the mounting plate 33. A guide rail 34 is provided on the frame 31, and a slider 35 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 33. The slider 35 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 34. The clamping mechanism 36 includes a mounting base 361 fixed on a mounting plate 33. A rack 1 363 and a rack 2 365 are slidably mounted on the mounting base 361. A gear 364 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 361. Both rack 1 363 and rack 2 365 mesh with gear 364. Rack 1 363 is located below gear 364, and rack 2 365 is located above gear 364. A hydraulic cylinder 2 362 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 33. The piston rod of hydraulic cylinder 2 362 is connected to rack 1 363. A clamping claw 1 366 is fixedly mounted on rack 1 363, and a clamping claw 2 367 is fixedly mounted on rack 2 365.

[0033] The compression mechanism 5 includes a base plate 51, on which a compression barrel 52 is provided. Support columns 53 are provided on both sides of the compression barrel 52. The bottom of the support columns 53 is fixed to the base plate 51. A crossbeam 54 is fixedly installed between the tops of the two support columns 53. A hydraulic cylinder 3 55 is fixedly installed on the crossbeam 54. A pressure block 56 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3 55.

[0034] Working principle: The conveyor belt 1 under test operates at a constant speed, conveying paper cups sequentially to the testing area. Detection camera 1 23 is fixed to the side of the conveyor belt 1 under test via a fixing plate 21. As the paper cups pass by, its high-resolution lens quickly captures images of the side of the paper cups, identifying scratches, printing defects, and other problems. Detection camera 25 is mounted on a camera mounting bracket 24, located directly above the conveyor belt 1 under test, simultaneously photographing the top surface of the paper cups to detect the flatness of the cup rim, stains on the inner wall, etc.

[0035] If the inspection is successful, hydraulic cylinder 32 receives a command from the control system, and its piston rod extends, pushing the mounting plate 33 to slide on the guide rail 34, thereby moving the clamping mechanism 36 above the target paper cup. Subsequently, hydraulic cylinder 362 actuates, extending its piston rod to move rack 363. Rack 363 meshes with gear 364, and gear 364 rotates, causing rack 365 to move in the opposite direction, causing clamping claws 366 and 367 to simultaneously approach and precisely clamp the paper cup. Then, hydraulic cylinder 32 retracts its piston rod, transferring the successful paper cup to the finished product conveyor belt 4. If the inspection fails, the same transfer process moves the paper cup to the compression drum 52 of the compression mechanism 5.

[0036] When the defective paper cups fall into the compression drum 52, the hydraulic cylinder 55 receives the command and the piston rod drives the pressure block 56 to move downward, using strong pressure to compress the paper cups, reduce their volume, and facilitate subsequent centralized recycling and processing.

[0037] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
