[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a toothpick feeding mechanism for a tableware packaging machine, including an outer ring 100. An inner plate 106 is provided at the bottom of the outer ring 100, and a gap is formed between the outer ring 100 and the inner plate 106. An L-shaped plate 102 is fixed to the outer wall of the outer ring 100. A motor 103 is fixed to the side of the L-shaped plate 102 near the inner plate 106. A rotating ring 101 is fixed to the output end of the motor 103. A rubber ring 104 is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating ring 101. A plurality of circumferentially distributed grooves 105 are formed on the outer wall of the rubber ring 104. A bottom ring guide rail 200 is fixed between the bottom surface of the outer ring 100 and the inner plate 106, and the interior of the bottom ring guide rail 200 corresponds to the gap.

[0026] This solution has the following working process: When feeding toothpicks, firstly, the push block 207 is manually pulled, causing the push plate 206 to move. The movement of the push plate 206 drives the movable column 204 to move, thereby compressing the spring 205. Then, a bundle of toothpicks is placed in the area between the push plate 206 and the outer ring 100 within the U-shaped strip 202. The pull on the push block 207 is released, and the spring 205 pushes the push plate 206, causing the toothpicks to be squeezed. Some toothpicks engage with the grooves 105 on the outer wall of the rubber ring 104 one by one. Then, the motor 103 is started. The rotation of the motor 103 drives the rotating ring 101 to rotate, which in turn drives the rubber ring 104 to rotate. The rotation of the rubber ring 104 drives the engaged toothpicks to rotate, and then the engaged toothpicks are drawn into the gap between the rubber ring 104 and the outer ring 100. Because the rubber ring 104 has... The elasticity causes the toothpick inside the U-shaped strip 202 to move from inside the U-shaped strip 202 to the gap between the rubber ring 104 and the outer ring 100. During the subsequent rotation, the position of the toothpick remains stable. After the toothpick at the front opening 201 is moved, the groove 105 behind it fills in. Under the push of the push plate 206, the toothpick inside the U-shaped strip 202 is pushed into the groove 105 behind it. This process is repeated so that the toothpick inside the U-shaped strip 202 is continuously replenished into the groove 105 and moved to the perforation 300. When the toothpick is at the perforation 300, since the outer wall of the toothpick is not in contact with the inner wall of the outer ring 100, the toothpick is no longer restricted. Then the toothpick falls from the groove 105 into the guide tube 301 and then into the feeding port of the packaging machine. The toothpick is then packaged into bags one by one by the packaging machine.

[0027] As can be seen from the above working process: the movable column 204, spring 205, and push plate 206 enable the toothpick placed in the U-shaped strip 202 to be pushed, so that the toothpick is engaged in different grooves 105, which facilitates the rotation and transportation of the toothpick; the bottom ring guide rail 200 ensures that the bottom of the toothpick is located in the bottom ring guide rail 200 when it is being transported, which facilitates the transportation of the toothpick; the rotating ring 101 and motor 103 enable the rubber ring 104 to rotate, which in turn drives the toothpick in the groove 105 to rotate, so that the toothpick can always be fed in single pieces during the feeding process, avoiding affecting the quality stability of the final product.

[0028] Further as Figure 2 As shown, the outer side wall of the bottom ring guide rail 200 has a side opening 201, the outer side wall of the outer ring 100 has an opening, the inner side wall of the side opening 201 is fixed with a U-shaped strip 202, the inside of the U-shaped strip 202 is fixed with a limiting plate 203, two movable columns 204 are movably connected to one side of the limiting plate 203, a push plate 206 is fixed to one end of the two movable columns 204, and a spring 205 is provided on the outer side wall of the movable column 204.

[0029] The side opening 201 and the opening facilitate the connection of the U-shaped strip 202 with the outer ring 100 and the bottom ring guide rail 200. The movable column 204, spring 205 and push plate 206 allow toothpicks placed inside the U-shaped strip 202 near the outer ring 100 to be pushed by the push plate 206. This allows the toothpicks between the push plate 206 and the rubber ring 104 to be pushed by the push plate 206, enabling the toothpicks to engage with the grooves 105 at different positions. This facilitates the movement of the sorted toothpicks, allowing them to reach the corresponding positions. This design ensures that the toothpicks inside the U-shaped strip 202 can be continuously replenished into the grooves 105, effectively sorting and transporting the toothpicks.

[0030] Further as Figure 2 As shown, a pusher block 207 is fixed on the top surface of the pusher plate 206.

[0031] The pusher block 207 allows the pusher plate 206 to move, thereby increasing the area between the pusher plate 206 and the outer ring 100, making it easier to insert toothpicks into the U-shaped strip 202.

[0032] Further as Figure 2 As shown, the outer ring 100 has a through hole 300 on its top surface, the through hole 300 extends to the bottom surface of the bottom ring guide rail 200, and a guide tube 301 is fixed on the bottom surface of the bottom ring guide rail 200 at the position of the through hole 300.

[0033] The perforation 300 allows the toothpick, after being rotated and transported, to fall through the perforation 300 and enter the guide tube 301, eventually entering the inlet of the packaging machine through the guide tube 301.

[0034] In summary: When feeding toothpicks, firstly, manually pull the push block 207 to move the push plate 206. The movement of the push plate 206 moves the movable column 204, which in turn compresses the spring 205. Then, the bundle of toothpicks is placed in the area between the push plate 206 and the outer ring 100 within the U-shaped strip 202. Releasing the pull on the push block 207 causes the spring 205 to push the push plate 206, squeezing the toothpicks. Some toothpicks engage with the grooves 105 on the outer wall of the rubber ring 104 one by one. Then, the motor 103 is started. The rotation of the motor 103 drives the rotating ring 101 to rotate, which in turn drives the rubber ring 104 to rotate. The rotation of the rubber ring 104 causes the engaged toothpicks to rotate, and the engaged toothpicks are then drawn into the gap between the rubber ring 104 and the outer ring 100. Due to the elasticity of the rubber ring 104, the toothpicks are compressed. The toothpick inside the U-shaped strip 202 moves from the U-shaped strip 202 to the gap between the rubber ring 104 and the outer ring 100. During the subsequent rotation, the position of the toothpick remains stable. After the toothpick at the front opening 201 is moved, the groove 105 behind it fills in. Under the push of the push plate 206, the toothpick inside the U-shaped strip 202 is pushed into the groove 105 behind it. This process is repeated so that the toothpick inside the U-shaped strip 202 is continuously replenished into the groove 105 and moved to the perforation 300. When the toothpick is at the perforation 300, since the outer wall of the toothpick is not in contact with the inner wall of the outer ring 100, the toothpick is no longer restricted. Then the toothpick falls from the groove 105 into the guide tube 301 and then into the feeding port of the packaging machine. The toothpick is then packaged into bags one by one by the packaging machine.

[0035] 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 can 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.
