Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper cup processing technology and equipment, and in particular to a paper cup and paper mold stacking and straightening machine. Background Technology
[0002] The manufacturing process of paper cups typically includes steps such as paper winding, printing, cutting, molding, and heat sealing. First, the paper is cut to the appropriate size and printed with brand logos, graphics, or advertisements. Next, the paper is wound and molded to form the basic shape of the paper cup. Finally, heat sealing is used to secure the bottom of the cup, ensuring its durability. Paper cups are widely used in the catering industry, especially for serving beverages, coffee, and cold drinks. Due to their lightweight, hygiene, convenience, and environmental friendliness, they have gradually replaced traditional plastic and glass cups, becoming an important packaging material for the takeout and fast food industries. With increasing environmental awareness, many paper cups use recyclable or biodegradable materials, further promoting their widespread use in daily life.
[0003] However, the following problems are frequently encountered in existing paper mold processing:
[0004] When the paper cups are in the paper mold processing stage, the paper mold forming machine will merge two stacked fan-shaped paper molds into an "S" shape and pop them out during the output stage. This output method requires the staff to manually lift and flip one of the fan-shaped paper molds and merge and stack them with the other set before proceeding to the next processing step. The process of constantly lifting and flipping manually requires a certain amount of physical strength from the staff. If the staff is physically exhausted or is slightly careless, the stacked paper molds can easily be knocked over and scattered all over the ground, affecting processing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a paper cup and paper mold stacking and straightening machine. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background art where existing paper mold forming machines require manual operation of one set of fan-shaped paper molds, which must be lifted, flipped, and stacked with another set. This requires considerable physical strength from the operator. The lifting plate in this invention raises a lifting rod, which supports one set of fan-shaped paper molds. A steering motor then flips the rod, aligning the two sets of fan-shaped paper molds. Finally, a booster cylinder pushes the two aligned sets of paper molds into a guide slide for stacking. The entire process requires no manual operation, significantly reducing errors and improving processing efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A paper cup and paper mold stacking and straightening machine includes:
[0008] Workbench;
[0009] A guide slide is provided on one side of the worktable. The guide slide includes a partition, a slide groove, and a transition surface. The slide groove is integrated with one side edge of the worktable. The partition is provided on the inner wall of the slide groove, dividing the slide groove into two parallel spaces. The transition surface is located at the junction of the slide groove and the worktable.
[0010] A lifting plate is located below the workbench and is mounted on the legs of the workbench.
[0011] A lifting rod is mounted longitudinally on the lifting plate, and a bearing is provided at the connection between the bottom end of the lifting rod and the lifting plate. The top end of the lifting rod passes through the worktable, and the lifting plate can push the lifting rod to move longitudinally by lifting and lowering.

[0028] The sensor is electrically connected to an adjacent set of booster mechanisms.
[0029] The angle between the paddle and the linkage rod is an obtuse angle.
[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The lifting plate designed in this invention lifts a lifting rod, uses the supporting component of the lifting rod to lift one set of fan-shaped paper molds, and uses a steering motor to flip them, thereby aligning the two sets of fan-shaped paper molds.

[0036] 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.
[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0038] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a paper cup and paper mold stacking and straightening machine, which includes a worktable 1, a guide slide 2, a partition 21, a slide groove 22, a transition surface 23, a lifting plate 3, and a lifting rod 4.
[0039] The guide slide 2 is located on one side of the workbench 1. The guide slide 2 includes a partition 21, a chute 22, and a transition surface 23. The chute 22 is integrated with one side edge of the workbench 1. The partition 21 is located on the inner wall of the chute 22, dividing it into two parallel spaces. The transition surface 23 is located at the junction of the chute 22 and the workbench 1. The spaces divided by the partition 21 have the same volume. The lifting plate 3 is located below the workbench 1 and is mounted on the legs of the workbench 1. The lifting rod 4 is longitudinally mounted on the lifting plate 3, and a bearing is provided at the connection between the bottom end of the lifting rod 4 and the lifting plate 3. The top end of the lifting rod 4 passes through the workbench 1. The lifting plate 3 can move the lifting rod 4 longitudinally by lifting and lowering it. The purpose of the guide slide 2 is to guide the paper model to the correct position, ensuring that the paper models are arranged neatly through the divided spaces, avoiding misalignment or disorderly stacking. The partition 21 divides the slide 22 into two parallel spaces, which can process two sets of paper molds at the same time, reducing the waiting time for each operation and improving efficiency.
[0040] The lifting plate 3 also includes: a base plate 31 mounted on the legs of the workbench 1; a movable plate 32 located above the base plate 31, with a gap between the movable plate 32 and the base plate 31; a guide rod 33 whose top end is fixedly connected to the movable plate 32 and whose bottom end passes through the base plate 31; and a lifting cylinder 34 mounted on the base plate 31, with its output end connected to the bottom surface of the movable plate 32. The lifting plate 3 and the lifting rod 4 are designed to achieve the lifting and lowering operation of the paper mold. The longitudinal movement of the lifting plate 3 and the lifting rod 4 is driven by the cylinder, which in turn drives the lifting and lowering of the support component 8, thereby precisely controlling the vertical position of the paper mold. Especially when two sets of paper molds need to adjust their angles, the design of the lifting plate 3 and the lifting rod 4 can precisely control the rising and falling of the paper molds, avoiding uneven stacking due to incorrect angles.
[0041] In this embodiment, the driven gear 5 is sleeved on the body of the lifting rod 4, the steering motor 6 is mounted on the bottom surface of the movable plate 32, and the output end of the steering motor 6 passes through the movable plate 32. The driving gear 7 is mounted on the output end of the steering motor 6 and meshes with the driven gear 5. The support member 8 is mounted on the top of the lifting rod 4, and a baffle is provided on one side edge of the support member 8. The support cutout 9 is opened on the worktable 1, located in the extension direction on one side of the slide groove 22, and is located on the contact surface between the lifting rod 4 and the worktable 1. The support member 8 and the baffle are designed to support and fix the paper mold, ensuring that the paper mold does not shift or fall off during movement and adjustment. The design of the baffle takes into account the stability of the paper mold and avoids the paper mold sliding during lifting.
[0042] Two sets of booster mechanisms 10 are provided, which are installed on both sides of the guide slide 2 in the extension direction. Each booster mechanism 10 includes a tilting cylinder 101, a force rod 102, a linkage rod 103, a steering rod 104, and a paddle 105. The tilting cylinder 101 is installed on the table surface of the workbench 1. The force rod 102 is installed at the output end of the tilting cylinder 101. One end of the linkage rod 103 is connected to the force rod 102, and the other end of the linkage rod 103 is fixedly connected to the top end of the steering rod 104. The steering rod 104 is longitudinally movably installed on the table surface of the workbench 1. The paddle 105 is installed on the body of the steering rod 104. The angle between the paddle 105 and the linkage rod 103 is an obtuse angle. The sensor 11 is installed on one side of the booster mechanism 10 in the extension direction and is electrically connected to the adjacent booster mechanism 10. The booster mechanism 10 is mainly used to help adjust the angle of the paper molds so that the two sets of paper molds reach the same angle before stacking, ensuring the neatness and stability of the final stacking effect. The design of the flipping cylinder 101 and the force application rod 102 ensures that the force transmission is smooth and reliable, while the coordinated action of the steering rod 104 and the paddle 105 pushes the paper molds to the corresponding positions through precise mechanical movements.
[0043] Sensor 11 is designed to monitor the stacking status of the paper molds in real time and ensure that the up-and-down movement and angle adjustment of the paper molds are performed at precise times. The automatic control system integrates the actions of the cylinder, gear drive, and booster mechanism 10 to ensure seamless operation of the entire workflow, reduce manual intervention, and improve production efficiency.
[0044] It should be noted that, in the paper cup and paper mold stacking and straightening machine designed in this utility model, when the workbench 1 is set up at the downstream output end of the paper cup and paper mold forming machine, when two sets of paper molds are ejected in an "S" shape and enter the table surface of the workbench 1, the baffle of the support member 8 will abut against one set of paper molds. At this time, the lifting cylinder 34 is activated, and its output end pops out to push the movable plate 32 upward. The movable plate 32 moves upward and pushes the lifting rod 4 up. The top of the lifting rod 4 drives the support member 8 to rise together. The support member 8 lifts the set of paper molds that are abutted by the baffle. At this time, the steering motor 6 is activated, and the output end of the motor rotates, causing the driving gear 7 to drive the driven gear 5. The driven gear 5 rotates, causing the lifting rod 4 to rotate axially. After rotating 180 degrees, so that the angle of one set of paper molds carried by the carrier 8 is the same as that of another set of paper molds, the booster mechanism 10 on one side of the other set of paper molds is activated. The tilting cylinder 101 retracts, and the output end of the tilting cylinder 101 pulls the force rod 102. The force rod 102 pulls one end of the linkage rod 103, and one end of the linkage rod 103 will rotate axially around the other end as the axis. The other end of the linkage rod drives the steering rod 104 to rotate axially. The axial rotation of the steering rod 104 drives the paddle 105 to rotate. The rotation of the paddle 105 pushes the adjacent set of paper molds into a slide 22 for stacking. Finally, the lifting cylinder 34 retracts. After the sensor 11 senses that one set of paper molds on the carrier 8 has been lowered to the table height, the adjacent booster mechanism 10 is activated to push the tilted paper molds into another slide 22 for stacking. After that, you just need to wait for the next two sets of paper molds in an "S" shape to be pushed over, and repeat the above process. The whole process does not require manual operation and production is fast.
[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
