Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton candy equipment technology, specifically, a cotton candy machine robot and a cotton candy machine main unit. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the sugar thread winding device of fully automatic cotton candy machines typically uses a stepper motor to drive a robotic arm holding the roller, which requires a reset sensor to complete the initial positioning of the robotic arm. This results in the following complex structure: the need for an additional reset sensor and signal processing circuit, increasing potential points of failure; limited control accuracy: the stepper motor needs frequent resets, and the response delay may lead to uneven sugar thread winding; and poor stability: the sensor is susceptible to environmental factors such as sugar debris and steam, leading to malfunctions or failures. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a cotton candy machine robot and a cotton candy machine host, aiming to solve the problems in the existing technology.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a cotton candy machine manipulator, including a housing, a swinging component is provided inside the housing, an opening is provided at the upper end of the housing, a rotatable clamping rod assembly is provided in the opening, the clamping rod assembly is connected to the swinging component, and a mounting base is provided at the lower end of the swinging component.

[0005] In the aforementioned cotton candy machine manipulator, the swinging component is a servo motor, the lower end of which is fixed on a mounting base, a bracket is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor, and the clamping rod assembly is mounted on the bracket.

[0006] In the aforementioned cotton candy machine manipulator, the clamping rod assembly includes a cylinder, a rotary motor is installed inside the cylinder, the rotary motor is fixedly connected to a bracket, and a clamping rod is installed on the motor shaft of the rotary motor.

[0007] In the aforementioned cotton candy machine manipulator, the clamping rod includes a bottom ring, which is fixedly installed inside a cylinder. The motor shaft of the rotary motor is installed inside the bottom ring. A rod insertion cylinder is provided on the bottom ring, and at least two gaps are provided on the cylinder body of the rod insertion cylinder. The end of the gap away from the bottom ring is open.

[0008] A cotton candy machine main unit includes the aforementioned cotton candy machine robot arm and a main unit body. A furnace head is installed on the main unit body, and a housing is provided on one side of the furnace head. The housing is fixed to the main unit body by a mounting base.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the clamping rod assembly only needs to be responsible for clamping the rod and rotating it to wrap the sugar filament. The clamping rod assembly can be swung by the swinging component, so that the clamping rod assembly can be swung to adjust its position. There is no need to use a traditional stepper motor, reducing the use of a reset sensor, thereby improving the stability of the structure, increasing the response speed, and preventing malfunctions or failures.

[0014] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0015] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The illustrated main body of a cotton candy machine includes a main body 12, on which a furnace head 13 is mounted. A cotton candy machine manipulator is located on one side of the furnace head 13. The manipulator includes a housing 1, within which a swinging component 3 is installed. An opening 5 is provided at the upper end of the housing 1, within which a rotatable gripper assembly 6 is installed. The gripper assembly 6 is connected to the swinging component 3. A mounting base 4 is provided at the lower end of the swinging component 3. The housing 1 is fixed to the main body 12 via the mounting base 4. The gripper assembly 6 only needs to rotate to grip and rotate the sticks to wrap the cotton candy strands. The gripper assembly 6 can be swung by the swinging component 3, allowing the gripper assembly 6 to adjust its position by swaying. This eliminates the need for a traditional stepper motor, reduces the use of a reset sensor, thereby improving structural stability, increasing response speed, and preventing malfunctions or failures.

[0016] Specifically, in this embodiment, the swinging component 3 is a servo motor. The lower end of the servo motor is fixed on the mounting base 4, and a bracket 2 is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor. The clamping rod assembly 6 is mounted on the bracket 2. The servo disk can be rotated and adjusted according to a preset trajectory or angle. The servo motor drives the clamping rod assembly 6 to swing, thereby completing the sugar thread winding path planning. Since the servo motor has a built-in angle reset reference, the servo disk angle operation is realized by controlling the duty cycle time. The servo motor is prior art, and those skilled in the art should be able to understand the internal structure and operation of the servo motor, which will not be described in detail here.

[0017] The clamping rod assembly 6 in this embodiment includes a cylinder 7, in which a rotary motor 8 is installed. The rotary motor 8 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2. The clamping rod is installed on the motor shaft of the rotary motor 8. The rotary motor is driven by a servo motor to swing the angle, thus eliminating the need for a separate reset sensor and replication circuit, reducing the number of failure points. Moreover, the rotary motor 8 can be a regular motor and does not need to be a stepper motor.

[0018] Specifically, the clamping rod component in this embodiment includes a bottom ring 9, which is fixedly installed inside the cylinder 7. The motor shaft of the rotary motor 8 is installed through the bottom ring 9. A rod insertion tube 10 is provided on the bottom ring 9. At least two gaps 11 are provided on the cylinder of the rod insertion tube 10, and the end of the gap 11 away from the bottom ring 9 is open. This allows the rod insertion tube 10 to be opened after the rod is inserted, so that the rod insertion tube 10 can clamp the rod and rotate it through the rotary motor 8, thereby facilitating the winding of sugar threads.

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
