Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of paper cup production equipment, specifically to a paper cup ring flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During the production and forming process of paper cups, the paper cups need to be conveyed. Usually, there is a multi-station paper cup turret that continuously processes the paper cups through multiple steps. The paper cups first enter the flipping mechanism horizontally, and after flipping upwards, they continue to be fed to the multi-station paper cup turret. Due to the limited space between some paper cup production stations, the paper cup turret cannot be installed, making it inconvenient for the paper cups to be fed upwards. In this case, manual labor is usually required, which is labor-intensive and reduces the production efficiency of the paper cup production equipment.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes a paper cup ring flipping mechanism that is small in size and allows for continuous feeding. Utility Model Content

[0008] The receiving platform is provided with multiple sets of cutting grooves on its eccentric side. A rotatable paper cup positioning ring is installed on the upper side of the receiving platform and directly above the multiple sets of cutting grooves. A rotating component is installed on the upper side of the receiving platform, which drives the paper cup positioning ring to rotate for positioning.

[0009] A lifting component is installed on the lower side of the receiving platform, which pushes the paper cup out of the paper cup positioning ring.

[0010] As an improvement, the rotating assembly includes a mounting block installed between the inner wall of the cutting groove and the axis of the receiving platform. A small motor is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting block away from the center. The shaft end of the small motor passes through the mounting block and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the paper cup positioning ring.

[0011] As an improvement, the rotation angle of the paper cup positioning ring includes: the axis of the paper cup positioning ring is parallel and perpendicular to the upper side of the receiving platform.

[0012] As an improvement, when the axis of the paper cup positioning ring is parallel to the upper side of the receiving platform, the lower side wall of the paper cup positioning ring passes through the inner side of the cutting groove, and the bottom end of the lower inner wall is at the same height as the upper side of the receiving platform.

[0013] As an improvement, the lifting assembly includes an electric telescopic rod and a push plate. A connecting vertical plate is fixedly installed at the eccentric position on the lower side of the receiving platform. A mounting horizontal plate is connected to the bottom of the connecting vertical plate. The electric telescopic rod passes through the mounting horizontal plate and is fixedly connected.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a paper cup ring flipping mechanism includes a receiving platform 1, a support frame 2 installed at the bottom of the receiving platform 1, and a positioning mounting frame 12 installed at the bottom of the support frame 2. The positioning mounting frame 12 is installed on the paper cup production machine frame by multiple sets of bolts, so that the receiving platform 1 is at the same height as the conveying structure of the previous process. The paper cup is pushed to the upper side of the receiving platform 1 by the conveying structure of the previous process. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 2. The shaft end of the motor 3 passes through the support frame 2 and is connected to the center of the receiving platform 1. The motor 3 is set to rotate at a fixed amplitude according to the number of grooves 4 described below, and three rotations constitute one revolution.

[0025] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the receiving platform 1 has three sets of cutting grooves 4 on its eccentric side. A rotatable paper cup positioning ring 7 is installed on the upper side of the receiving platform 1 and directly above the three sets of cutting grooves 4. A rotating assembly is installed on the upper side of the receiving platform 1. The rotating assembly includes a mounting block 5. The mounting block 5 is installed between the inner wall of the cutting groove 4 and the axis of the receiving platform 1. A small motor 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting block 5 away from the axis. The shaft end of the small motor 6 passes through the mounting block 5 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the paper cup positioning ring 7. The lower side of the receiving platform 1 is connected to the power supply line by a plug-type slip ring to supply power to the small motor 6. The paper cup positioning ring 7 is rotated by the shaft end of the small motor 6.

[0026] The small motor 6 is set to reciprocate at 90°. The rotation angle of the paper cup positioning ring 7 includes: the axis of the paper cup positioning ring 7 is parallel and perpendicular to the upper side of the receiving platform 1. When the axis of the paper cup positioning ring 7 is parallel to the upper side of the receiving platform 1, the lower side wall of the paper cup positioning ring 7 passes through the inner side of the cutting groove 4, and the bottom end of the lower inner wall is at the same height as the upper side of the receiving platform 1. When the paper cup is pushed to the upper side of the receiving platform 1, the bottom of the paper cup directly passes through the inside of the paper cup positioning ring 7. The paper cup positioning ring 7 drives the rotation by 90°, rotating the bottom of the paper cup downward to the inner side of the cutting groove 4, with the cup mouth facing upward.

[0027] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 4As shown, a lifting assembly is installed on the lower side of the receiving platform 1. The lifting assembly includes an electric telescopic rod 10 and a push plate 11. A connecting vertical plate 8 is fixedly installed at the eccentric position on the lower side of the receiving platform 1. A mounting horizontal plate 9 is connected to the bottom of the connecting vertical plate 8. The electric telescopic rod 10 passes through the mounting horizontal plate 9 and is fixedly connected. The extended end of the electric telescopic rod 10 faces upward and is fixedly connected to the lower side of the push plate 11. The lower side of the receiving platform 1 is connected to the power supply line by a plug-type slip ring to supply power to the electric telescopic rod 10. The push plate 11 is located directly below the paper cup positioning ring 7. When the paper cup moves to the next station, the electric telescopic rod 10 extends and pushes the push plate 11 upward. The push plate 11 pushes the paper cup out of the paper cup positioning ring 7. The material picking assembly in the next process inserts into the paper cup and positions the paper cup by adsorption and transports it to the next process frame.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the height and width of the flipping mechanism of this application are both within the length of two paper cups stacked together, and the volume is small, making it easy to install in environments with limited space in the paper cup production station.
