Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper cup production technology, and in particular to a transfer clamp for paper cup production. Background Technology

[0002] Paper cups are paper containers made by mechanically processing and bonding base paper (white paperboard) made from chemical wood pulp. They are cup-shaped in appearance. During the processing and production of paper cups, transfer clamps are needed to move the paper cups to the next work station for processing.

[0003] For example, CN216001593U discloses a transfer fixture for paper cup processing, including a guide rail, a driving structure on the guide rail, a reset structure connected to the driving structure, an adjustment structure connected to the reset structure, a fixing structure on the adjustment structure, and a fixing plate including a fixing plate, with a limit plate fixedly connected to the fixing plate.

[0004] In the existing technology, the clamping plates of the fixtures are mostly made of rigid materials, and the clamping force is not precisely adjusted. This can easily cause the paper cup wall to wrinkle and the cup mouth to deform due to rigid contact or excessive clamping force. Furthermore, the paper cup is only clamped on the side during transfer. If the clamping force is uneven or the center of gravity of the paper cup shifts, it can cause the cup to tilt or fall over during transfer, affecting the subsequent processes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art where paper cups are only clamped on the side during transfer. If the clamping force is uneven or the center of gravity of the paper cup is off, it will cause tilting and tipping during the transfer process. Therefore, this invention proposes a transfer fixture for paper cup production.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a transfer fixture for paper cup production, comprising a support frame, a transfer mechanism mounted on the top of the support frame, the transfer mechanism comprising a steering wheel, a clamping mechanism mounted on one side of the steering wheel, the clamping mechanism comprising a fixed plate, a connecting plate fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate, a connecting plate fixedly connected to one side of the steering wheel, a vacuum tube mounted in the middle of the fixed plate, a vacuum suction cup fixedly connected to one end of the vacuum tube, the vacuum suction cup fixedly connected to the outside of the steering wheel, a positioning block fixedly connected to the bottom side of the steering wheel, an electric push rod fixedly connected to one side of the positioning block, a push plate fixedly connected to one end of the electric push rod, a moving rod fixedly connected to one end of the push plate, and a clamping plate fixedly connected to one end of the moving rod passing through the steering wheel.

[0007] Preferably, a flexible pad is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping plate.

[0008] Preferably, the other end of the vacuum tube is fixedly connected to a vacuum generator, and one side of the vacuum generator is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate.

[0009] Preferably, the steering wheel has a slot, and the outside of the moving rod is slidably connected to the inside of the slot.

[0010] Preferably, a positioning frame is fixedly connected to the top side of the steering wheel. The positioning frame is an annular plate structure with an opening on one side. Multiple positioning frames are arranged in a uniform annular array around the center line of the steering wheel. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the steering wheel. A mounting plate is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating rod. One side of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame.

[0011] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly connected to the other side of the support frame, and a belt assembly is installed between the output end of the drive motor and one end of the rotating rod.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing frame is provided on the outer side of the steering wheel, and the bottom end of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, the electric push rod drives the push plate to move, and the moving rod and clamping plate move accordingly. Multiple clamping plates move to clamp the outside of the paper cup, and flexible pads are installed at the ends of the clamping plates to flexibly clamp the paper cup, reducing deformation and damage to the paper cup. At the same time, a vacuum is drawn inside the vacuum generator, and the air inside the vacuum suction cup and vacuum tube is extracted, so that the vacuum suction cup vacuum adsorbs the bottom of the paper cup, thereby improving the clamping and fixing effect of the paper cup, keeping the paper cup in a vertical state, and improving the stability of transportation.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, when the drive motor is working, it drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the steering wheel to rotate. When the steering wheel rotates intermittently under the drive of the rotating rod, the position of the positioning frame switches periodically, thereby realizing the processing and transfer of the paper cups produced, ensuring that the paper cups are stably positioned in each process, and improving the processing efficiency through the parallel operation of multiple positioning frames.

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a transfer fixture for paper cup production, including a support frame 1. A transfer mechanism 4 is installed on the top of the support frame 1. The transfer mechanism 4 includes a steering wheel 41. A clamping mechanism 2 is installed on one side of the steering wheel 41. The clamping mechanism 2 includes a fixing plate 25. A connecting plate 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 25. One side of the connecting plate 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the steering wheel 41. A vacuum tube 211 is installed in the middle of the fixing plate 25. One end of the vacuum tube 211 is fixedly connected to a vacuum suction cup 23. The vacuum suction cup 23 is fixedly connected to the inside of the steering wheel 41. The bottom side of the steering wheel 41... A positioning block 210 is fixedly connected, an electric push rod 29 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning block 210, a push plate 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the electric push rod 29, a moving rod 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the push plate 27, one end of the moving rod 24 passes through the steering wheel 41 and is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 21; a flexible pad 28 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping plate 21; a vacuum generator 212 is fixedly connected to the other end of the vacuum tube 211, one side of the vacuum generator 212 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 25; a slot 22 is opened on the steering wheel 41, and the outside of the moving rod 24 is slidably connected to the inside of the slot 22.

[0025] When the paper cup is transferred to the inner side of the positioning frame 46, it first enters the inner position of multiple clamping plates 21 arranged in a ring. The electric push rod 29 drives the push plate 27 to move, and the moving rod 24 and clamping plates 21 move accordingly. The moving rod 24 slides inside the slot 22 to fix the movement path of the clamping plates 21. The multiple clamping plates 21 move to clamp the outer side of the paper cup. The end of the clamping plate 21 is equipped with a flexible pad 28. The flexible pad 28 is made of flexible material and can flexibly clamp the paper cup, reducing the deformation and damage to the paper cup. At the same time, the vacuum generator 212 is evacuated, and the air inside the vacuum suction cup 23 and vacuum tube 211 is extracted, so that the vacuum suction cup 23 vacuum adsorbs the bottom of the paper cup, thereby improving the clamping and fixing effect of the paper cup and keeping the paper cup in a vertical state.

[0026] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a positioning frame 46 is fixedly connected to the top side of the steering wheel 41. The positioning frame 46 is an annular plate structure with one side open. Multiple positioning frames 46 are arranged in a uniform annular array around the center line of the steering wheel 41. A rotating rod 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the steering wheel 41. A mounting plate 43 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating rod 42. One side of the mounting plate 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 1. A drive motor 45 is fixedly connected to the other side of the support frame 1. A belt assembly 44 is installed between the output end of the drive motor 45 and one end of the rotating rod 42. A fixing frame 3 is provided on the outer side of the steering wheel 41. The bottom end of the fixing frame 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 1.

[0027] The overall effect of this embodiment is that the belt assembly 44 consists of two pulleys of different sizes and a conveyor belt. When the drive motor 45 is working, it drives the rotating rod 42 to rotate, which can drive the steering wheel 41 to rotate. This allows the position of the positioning frame 46 distributed in a ring on the steering wheel 41 to be switched, thereby realizing the processing and transfer of the produced paper cups.

[0028] The device is used and works as follows: When the drive motor 45 is working, it drives the rotating rod 42 to rotate, which in turn drives the steering wheel 41 to rotate, allowing the position of the positioning frame 46 to be switched. When the paper cup is transferred to the inner side of the positioning frame 46, it enters the inner position of multiple clamping plates 21 arranged in a ring. The electric push rod 29 drives the push plate 27 to move, and the moving rod 24 and clamping plates 21 move accordingly to clamp the outer side of the paper cup. The end of the clamping plate 21 is equipped with a flexible pad 28 to flexibly clamp the paper cup. At the same time, the vacuum generator 212 is evacuated, and the air inside the vacuum suction cup 23 and vacuum tube 211 is extracted, so that the vacuum suction cup 23 vacuum adsorbs the bottom of the paper cup.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
