[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic cup production technology, and in particular to a plastic cup packing and feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Significant problems exist in the conveying and packing processes after the plastic cups are manufactured. Currently, the most common conveying and packing mode is single-line conveying, which greatly limits packing efficiency. With the continuous growth of market demand for plastic cups, single-line conveying cannot meet the need for packaging multiple rows of plastic cups simultaneously, making it impossible to achieve large-scale, efficient packing operations, and seriously affecting the smoothness and output of the entire production process.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Example
[0025] like Figures 1-5As shown, a plastic cup packing and feeding device includes a box conveying mechanism 1, a plastic cup conveying mechanism 2, a grouping mechanism 3, and a packing assembly 4. The plastic cup conveying mechanism 2 is located on the right side of the box conveying mechanism 1. A support frame 5 is connected to the front of the box conveying mechanism 1 and the plastic cup conveying mechanism 2. The grouping mechanism 3 is located on the right side of the support frame 5, and the packing assembly 4 is located on the left side of the support frame 5. The grouping mechanism 3 includes a first hydraulic rod 31. A pusher plate 32 is installed on the left side of the first hydraulic rod 31. The position of the pusher plate 32 corresponds to the position of the plastic cup conveying mechanism 2. A grouping platform 33 is located on the left side of the pusher plate 32. The packing assembly 4 includes a transverse base 41. Slide rails 51 are fixed on both sides of the upper end of the support frame 5. Slider blocks 42 are fixed on both sides of the transverse base 41. The transverse base 41 is mounted on the sliders 42. At the upper end of the slide rail 51, the right side of the transverse base 41 is connected to the support frame 5 via the second hydraulic rod 411. A lifting motor 43 is installed at the upper end of the transverse base 41. A transmission chain 45 is connected to the side of the lifting motor 43. A lifting base 44 is connected to the side of the transmission chain 45. The transmission chain 45 and the lifting base 44 are connected. When the transmission chain 45 moves, the lifting base 44 moves with the transmission chain 45. The transmission chain 45 drives the lifting base 44 to rise or fall a certain height. The lifting motor 43 and the sprocket of the transmission chain 45 are connected, so that the sprocket drives the transmission chain 45 to move. Multiple suction cups 48 are provided at the lower end of the lifting base 44. The right side of the slide rail 51 corresponds to the position of the group platform 33, and the left side of the slide rail 51 corresponds to the position of the box conveying mechanism 1.
[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the box conveyor 1 is responsible for conveying boxes for plastic cups, and the plastic cup conveyor 2 conveys the produced plastic cups. The pusher plate 32, driven by the first hydraulic rod 31, pushes the plastic cups on the plastic cup conveyor 2 onto the grouping platform 33, so that the plastic cups are grouped according to a certain quantity and arrangement, which is convenient for subsequent one-time boxing. The transverse base 41 slides on the slide rail 51 through the slider 42. The second hydraulic rod 411 provides power for the transverse base 41 to move laterally, ensuring that the transverse base 41 can move accurately according to the set position, and ensuring that the grouped plastic cups can be accurately placed into the box. The lifting motor 43, the transmission chain 45 and the lifting base 44 enable the suction cup 48 installed at the lower end of the lifting base 44 to descend to the grouping platform 33 to grab the plastic cup, then rise and move it above the box and then descend again to put the plastic cup into the box, realizing the vertical transportation of the plastic cup. In conjunction with the lateral movement of the transverse base 41, the entire boxing process is completed. The suction cup 48 grabs and releases the plastic cup.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the lifting base 44 is provided with an air pressure interface 49. Multiple suction cups 48 are connected to the air pressure interface 49. The air pressure interface 49 serves as the hub for gas transmission, responsible for connecting to an external air source and providing a stable negative air pressure supply for the entire suction cup 48 system.
[0028] The lifting motor 43 is a servo motor, which can achieve precise position, speed and torque control. During the plastic cup packing process, it can accurately control the lifting height of the lifting base 44.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the box conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveying bracket 11. Multiple sets of conveying wheels 12 are provided on the upper end of the conveying bracket 11. The conveying bracket 11 serves as a basic structural component. The multiple sets of conveying wheels 12, through their own rotation, smoothly convey the boxes placed on them along a predetermined direction. Support brackets 13 are fixed on both sides of the upper end of the conveying bracket 11. Support rods 14 are fixed on the support brackets 13 on both sides. The rear side of the support rods 14 is arc-shaped. When the carton moves forward on the conveying wheels 12, the arc-shaped support rods 14 can guide the opening of the carton, avoiding the situation where the plastic cup is difficult to fill or even impossible to fill due to the carton opening being too small or in a closed state.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a guide hole 47 is provided at the corner of the transverse base 41, and a guide rod 46 is fixed at the upper corner of the lifting base 44. The guide rod 46 is movably installed in the guide hole 47 and is firmly fixed at the upper corner of the lifting base 44, providing a stable guide reference for the vertical movement of the lifting base 44. When the lifting motor 43 drives the lifting base 44 to perform vertical lifting action, the guide rod 46 moves linearly along the guide hole 47 on the transverse base 41.
[0031] When using the plastic cup packing and feeding device, first start the box conveying mechanism 1 and the plastic cup conveying mechanism 2. The conveying support 11 of the box conveying mechanism 1 carries multiple sets of conveying wheels 12, which smoothly transport the empty box to the designated position. At the same time, the arc-shaped support rods 14 on the support brackets 13 on both sides of the conveying support 11 guide the opening of the carton during the forward movement of the box, preparing for subsequent packing. The plastic cup conveying mechanism 2 then transports the produced plastic cups in an orderly manner to the position corresponding to the grouping mechanism 3.
[0032] The first hydraulic rod 31 pushes the pusher plate 32, accurately pushing the plastic cups on the plastic cup conveying mechanism 2 to the grouping platform 33. The plastic cups are grouped according to the preset quantity and arrangement. The boxing component 4 then moves. The transverse base 41 slides on the slide rail 51 via the slider 42. The second hydraulic rod 411 provides power for its transverse movement and accurately positions it above the grouping platform 33. The lifting motor 43 drives the lifting base 44 and the suction cup 48 at the lower end to descend via the transmission chain 45. The suction cup 48 is connected to the air pressure interface 49. Under the action of stable negative air pressure, it firmly grasps the plastic cups on the grouping platform 33. The lifting base 44 rises, the transverse base 41 moves above the box conveying mechanism 1, the lifting base 44 descends again, and the suction cup 48 releases the plastic cups, completing the boxing action.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various modifications and variations. 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.
