Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a bowl-cup separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Bowls and cups are increasingly favored by consumers as aesthetically pleasing outer packaging containers, convenient for carrying and packing. They are frequently used in the outer packaging of some high-end health supplements, such as bird's nest supplements. After molding, bowls and cups are often stacked neatly without taking up too much space. However, during the subsequent canning process, individual bowls and cups need to be separated and cleaned, and then filled with materials. A search revealed that utility model patent application number 202021600393.7 discloses a separation device for bowl-shaped containers. In this design, a combination of upper and lower blades separates the stacked bowl-shaped containers. This requires multiple sets of power mechanisms working together, resulting in a complex structure that affects separation efficiency. Furthermore, it is only suitable for a limited range of cup sizes, lacking versatility. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bowl and cup separation device, comprising a feeding mechanism, a cup separating mechanism, and a discharge conveyor belt arranged sequentially from top to bottom;

[0005] The cup-separating mechanism has three sets arranged vertically and symmetrically. The cup-separating mechanism includes a cup-separating wheel, a guide wheel fixedly installed at the lower part of the cup-separating wheel, and a transmission mechanism connected to the upper part of the cup-separating wheel through a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is mounted on a positioning plate through a bearing seat. A circular arc groove is machined along the circumferential direction at one edge of the cup-separating wheel. A guide slope is machined at the front end of the circular arc groove along the rotation direction of the cup-separating wheel. A cup-separating cutter is machined at the other end of the circular arc groove. A spiral guide groove is machined along the rotation direction on the outer circumferential surface of the guide wheel.

[0006] The positioning plate is installed at the bottom of the fixed plate, and the middle part of the positioning plate is hinged to the fixed plate by a pin. The cup-separating mechanism is installed at one end of the positioning plate, and the other end of the positioning plate is connected to the fixed plate by an adjusting bolt assembly.

[0007] The feeding mechanism includes an annular plate, and guide rods are located on the inner side of the annular plate through positioning blocks and are centrally symmetrically distributed. The guide rods form a channel for bowls and cups to pass through.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the cup-separating knife has a planar structure and forms a guide channel by surrounding the upper surface of the guide wheel. The two ends of the guide channel are respectively connected to the arc groove and the spiral guide groove. The lower end of the spiral guide groove extends to the bottom of the guide wheel, and the top of the cup-separating knife has an inclined structure.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the diameter of the circle formed by the outer circumference of the three cup-dividing wheels is smaller than the bottom diameter of the bowl, the diameter of the circle formed by the sidewalls of the arc grooves on the three cup-dividing wheels matches the bottom diameter of the bowl, and the outer diameters of the cup-dividing wheels and the guide wheels match.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a waist-shaped groove is correspondingly provided on the fixing plate to cooperate with the adjusting bolt assembly, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the fixing plate. An avoidance groove is machined on the inner wall of the through hole to accommodate the cup-dividing mechanism.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the transmission mechanism includes a driving wheel installed at the end of the main shaft of the drive motor and a driven wheel installed at the upper end of the rotating shaft. The transmission belt is wound between the three driven wheels and the driving wheel. The three driven wheels rotate in the same direction. The drive motor is mounted on the fixed plate through a bracket. The bracket is machined with a waist-shaped groove I at the connection between the front and rear sides and the fixed plate. Bolts are installed in the waist-shaped groove I to connect and position the fixed plate.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the annular plate is connected to the fixed plate by a support rod, the radial position between the positioning block and the annular plate is adjustable, and a waist-shaped groove II is machined at the connection between the positioning block and the annular plate, and bolts are installed in the waist-shaped groove II to connect with the annular plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The positions of the cup-separating mechanism and the guide rod in this separation device are adjustable, making it suitable for separating bowls and cups of different sizes and offering good versatility.

[0015] 2. The cup-separating mechanism mainly includes a cup-separating wheel and a guide wheel.

[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the bowl and cup separation device of this utility model includes a feeding mechanism 9, a cup separating mechanism 3, and a discharge conveyor belt 1 arranged sequentially from top to bottom;

[0026] The cup-separating mechanism 3 has three sets arranged vertically and symmetrically. The cup-separating mechanism 3 includes a cup-separating wheel 32, with a guide wheel 31 fixedly mounted on the lower part of the cup-separating wheel 32. The upper part of the cup-separating wheel 32 is connected to the transmission mechanism 7 via a rotating shaft 33. The rotating shaft 33 is mounted on the positioning plate 4 via a bearing seat 34. A circular arc groove 323 is machined along the circumferential direction on one side edge of the cup-separating wheel 32. A guide slope 322 is machined at the front end of the circular arc groove 323 along the rotation direction of the cup-separating wheel 32. A cup-separating cutter 321 is formed at the other end of the circular arc groove 323 (see...). Figure 4-6 A spiral guide groove 311 is machined along the rotation direction on the outer circumferential surface of the guide wheel 31. The bottom of the cup-separating cutter 321 has a planar structure and forms a guide channel 35 by enclosing the upper surface of the guide wheel 31. The two ends of the guide channel 35 are connected to the arc groove 323 and the spiral guide groove 311, respectively. The lower end of the spiral guide groove 311 extends to the bottom of the guide wheel 31 (see...). Figure 3The top of the cup-separating knife 321 has a sloping structure. The diameter of the circle formed by the outer circumference of the three cup-separating wheels 32 is smaller than the bottom diameter of the bowl cup 2. The diameter of the circle formed by the side wall of the arc groove 323 on the three cup-separating wheels 32 matches the bottom diameter of the bowl cup 2. The outer diameters of the cup-separating wheels 32 and the guide wheels 32 are matched.

[0027] The positioning plate 4 is installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 5. The middle part of the positioning plate 4 is hinged to the fixed plate 5 through the pin 41. The cup-separating mechanism 3 is installed at one end of the positioning plate 4. The other end of the positioning plate 4 is connected to the fixed plate 5 through the adjusting bolt assembly 42. The fixed plate 5 has a waist-shaped groove 53 that cooperates with the adjusting bolt assembly 42. The middle part of the fixed plate 5 has a through hole 51. The inner wall of the through hole 51 is machined with a relief groove 52 to accommodate the cup-separating mechanism 3.

[0028] The transmission mechanism 7 includes a drive wheel 71 mounted on the end of the main shaft of the drive motor 8 and a driven wheel 72 mounted on the upper end of the rotating shaft 33. The transmission belt 73 is wound between the three driven wheels 72 and the drive wheel 71. The three driven wheels 72 rotate in the same direction. The drive motor 8 is mounted on the fixed plate 5 through the bracket 6. The bracket 6 is machined with a waist-shaped groove I 61 at the connection between the front and rear sides and the fixed plate 5. Bolts are installed in the waist-shaped groove I 61 to connect and position it with the fixed plate 5.

[0029] The feeding mechanism 9 includes an annular plate 91. Guide rods 92 are located on the inner side of the annular plate 91 via positioning blocks 93 and are centrally symmetrically distributed. The guide rods 92 form a channel for the bowl 2 to pass through. The lower ends of the guide rods 92 extend to the bottom of the guide wheel. The bottom of the annular plate 91 is connected to the fixed plate 5 via support rods 94. The radial position between the positioning block 93 and the annular plate 91 is adjustable. A waist-shaped groove II 931 is machined at the connection between the positioning block 93 and the annular plate 91. Bolts are installed in the waist-shaped groove II 931 to connect with the annular plate 91 (see...). Figure 7 ).

[0030] The positions of the cup-separating mechanism and guide rod in this separation device are adjustable, making it suitable for separating cups of different sizes and offering good versatility. The cup-separating mechanism mainly includes a cup-separating wheel and a guide wheel. The cup-separating wheel is machined with an arc groove, and cup-separating blades and guide ramps are set at both ends of the arc groove. The cutting edge of the cup-separating blade faces the lower surface of the guide ramp. The guide wheel is machined with a spiral guide groove that connects with the arc groove on the cup-separating wheel. The edge of the cup is first placed in the arc groove, and then the cutting edge of the cup-separating blade is inserted into the gap between the two cups. The cup located below the cup-separating blade slides out along the spiral guide groove and falls onto the discharge conveyor belt, achieving rapid cup separation with high efficiency.

[0031] In practical use, for ease of understanding of this utility model, it will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings;

[0032] Before starting the work, adjust the positions of the cup-separating mechanism and guide rod according to the size of the bowl / cup. When adjusting the cup-separating mechanism, simply loosen the adjusting bolt assembly, and the entire positioning plate will rotate around the pin. The adjusting bolt assembly will slide along the waist-shaped groove on the fixed plate, and the cup-separating mechanism at the other end of the positioning plate will move to a certain position. After adjusting the three cup-separating mechanisms, ensure that the diameter of the circle formed by the outer circumferences of the three guide wheels is smaller than the bottom diameter of the bowl / cup, and the diameter of the circle formed by the sidewalls of the arc grooves on the three cup-separating wheels matches the bottom diameter of the bowl / cup. At the same time, adjust the tension of the transmission belt by sliding the bracket with the drive motor along the direction of the waist-shaped groove I and then locking it. When adjusting the guide rod, move the positioning block radially along the annular plate and then lock it with bolts so that the diameter of the circle formed by the outer circumferences of the guide rod matches the bottom diameter of the bowl / cup. The process involves matching the diameter of the cups. During operation, cups with their openings facing down are stacked and placed within the channel formed by the guide rods. The lower edges of the cups rest against the top edges of the three cup-separating wheels, which provide upward support. The drive motor then operates, with the driving wheel rotating via a transmission belt. The three driven wheels then rotate the three cup-separating wheels. As the cup-separating wheels rotate, the edges of the cups slide along the guide ramp into the arc groove until the cup-separating knife inserts between the edges of two cups. The cup below the cup-separating knife slides along the guide channel at the bottom of the cup-separating knife into the spiral guide groove, then slides out of the guide wheel along the spiral guide groove and falls onto the discharge conveyor belt. The cup above the cup-separating knife continues to slide along the blade of the cup-separating knife to the top edge of the cup-separating wheel, thus completing one cup-separating process.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
