[0019] Figure 1 The structure of a conveying and feeding device for a tulip paper cup machine is shown, including a frame 1, a worktable 2 on the frame 1, and a forming station and a feeding station arranged adjacent to each other on the worktable 2. The forming station is used to press paper sheets into the shape of paper cups, and the feeding station is used to output and collect the paper cups.

[0020] A movable component 4 is mounted on the frame 1. The movable component 4 is connected to a slide table 3, and an opening and closing component 5 is mounted on the slide table 3. The movable component 4 can switch the opening and closing component 5 between the forming station and the unloading station. In this embodiment, the movable component 4 includes two parallel linear modules 41. The two linear modules 41 are driven synchronously by a dual-axis motor 42, and the slide table 3 is mounted on the two linear modules 41.

[0021] Combination Figure 2 The opening and closing assembly 5 includes a first driving member 51, a first opening and closing member, and a second opening and closing member. The first opening and closing member includes a first sliding plate 52 and at least one first opening and closing plate 55 connected to the first sliding plate 52; the second opening and closing member includes a second sliding plate 53 and at least one second opening and closing plate 56 connected to the second sliding plate 53. Two slide blocks 58 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the slide table 3, and the first sliding plate 52 and the second sliding plate 53 are respectively slidably connected to the slide blocks 58.

[0022] The opening and closing assembly 5 also includes a swing arm 54 for linking the first sliding plate 52 and the second sliding plate 53. The middle part of the swing arm 54 is rotatably connected to the slide table 3, and the two ends of the swing arm 54 are respectively hinged to the first sliding plate 52 and the second sliding plate 53. The first driving member 51 is connected to the first sliding plate 52. When the first sliding plate 52 moves relative to the slide base 58, the second sliding plate 53 can be driven to slide relative to the first sliding plate 52 through the swing arm 54.

[0023] The first opening and closing plate 55 has an outwardly extending first opening and closing section 551, and the second opening and closing plate 56 has an outwardly extending second opening and closing section 561. The first opening and closing section 551 and the second opening and closing section 561 extend towards each other and are both arc-shaped sections. The first opening and closing section 551 and the second opening and closing section 561 have a certain distance to form a hugging area 57 for receiving paper cups.

[0024] The slide table 3 is also provided with a number of second feeding ports 31 corresponding to the number of clamping areas 57. The clamping areas 57 are located above the second feeding ports 31. In this embodiment, the first sliding plate 52 is provided with two first opening and closing plates 55, and the corresponding second sliding plate 53 is provided with two second opening and closing plates 56. Thus, the entire opening and closing assembly 5 has two clamping areas 57, which can simultaneously realize the conveying and feeding of two paper cups.

[0025] In another embodiment, the swing arm 54 is removed, and the first sliding plate 52 / second sliding plate 53 is fixed to the slide block 58. The remaining first sliding plate 52 / second sliding plate 53 is connected to the first driving member 51. When the first sliding plate 52 / second sliding plate 53 moves, the enclosing area 57 can also be increased / decreased.

[0026] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The unloading station has a first unloading port 21. The unloading station is also equipped with a material blocking component 7 and a material guiding component. The material blocking component 7 and the material guiding component are respectively installed below and below the workbench 2.

[0027] The material blocking assembly 7 includes a second drive member 71 and a connected material blocking plate 72. The material blocking plate 72 can open and close the first discharge port 21 to block the paper cup from being discharged. The material guiding assembly includes a material guiding cylinder 61 and a closing assembly for limiting the material guiding cylinder 61 placed on the first discharge port 21.

[0028] The retracting assembly includes a claw disk 62 fixed to the worktable 2, an adjusting disk 63 rotatably connected to the claw disk 62, and several limiting members slidably connected to the claw disk 62. The adjusting disk 63 has several evenly distributed turning grooves 633 circumferentially. Pins 634 pass through the turning grooves 633, one end of which is connected to the claw disk 62 and can slide within the turning grooves 633. The pins 634 limit the vertical movement of the claw disk 62 and the adjusting disk 63. Furthermore, the adjusting disk 63 has a lever 632 at its outer edge for easy manual rotation.

[0029] The limiting component includes a slider 64 and a limiting rod 65 connected to one end of the slider 64. The claw disk 62 has several circumferentially distributed first guide grooves 621. The slider 64 is disposed in the first guide grooves 621 and can move along the first guide grooves 621. The adjusting disk 63 has several second guide grooves 631. The other end of the slider 64 relative to the limiting rod 65 is provided with a guide post 641. The end of the guide post 641 passes through the first guide groove 621 and extends into the second guide groove 631, and the guide post 641 can slide in the second guide groove 631. When the rotating adjusting disk 63 drives the guide post 641 through the side wall of the second guide groove 631, it pushes the slider 64 to slide in the first guide groove 621. The extension directions of the plurality of first guide grooves 621 are all oriented towards the same center. One end of the limiting rod 65 extends vertically upward from the end face of the worktable 2. The plurality of limiting rods 65 enclose a closing area 66. The guide cylinder 61 is placed in the closing area 66 and can abut against the limiting rod 65 to maintain a relatively stationary state. It should be noted that when the claw disk 62 and the adjusting disk 63 are locked together, it is achieved by a locking member. In this embodiment, the locking member is a screw, which locks the claw disk 62 and the adjusting disk 63 together.

[0030] When this conveying and feeding device is conveying and feeding paper cups, the opening and closing component 5 is first moved to the forming station by the moving component 4. At this time, the first driving component 51 is activated, causing the first opening and closing plate 55 and the second opening and closing plate 56 to move towards each other, reducing the clamping area 57. Then, the paper cup falls from the upper mold of the forming mechanism into the clamping area 57, where it is received by the first opening and closing plate 55 and the second opening and closing plate 56. The moving component 4 pulls the slide table 3, causing the opening and closing component 5 to slide above the guiding mechanism 6. The first driving component 51 is activated, driving the first sliding plate 52 to move, causing the first opening and closing plate 55 and the second opening and closing plate 56 to move in opposite directions. The clamping area 57 gradually increases, and the paper cup detaches from the first opening and closing plate 55 and the second opening and closing plate 56 and falls from the second feeding port 31 into the guiding channel 611 of the guiding cylinder 61. The guiding cylinder 61 can be selected with different diameters according to the diameter of the paper cup, and the guiding cylinder 61 is made of transparent material to facilitate observation of the paper cup stacking inside the cylinder.

[0031] The paper cup receiving and dispensing operation is repeated. When a certain number of paper cups are stacked in the guide cylinder 61 (using a counter or sensor technology), the baffle assembly 7 is activated. The second drive component 71 drives the baffle plate 72 to open the first discharge port 21, at which point the paper cups stacked in the guide cylinder 61 fall out of the first discharge port 21. To collect the paper cups, a discharge hopper 9 is also provided below the worktable 2. One end of the discharge hopper 9 is connected to the first discharge port 21, and the other end extends away from the worktable 2. A collection hopper 8 is provided on the frame 1, and the other end of the discharge hopper 9 is placed above the collection hopper 8. Thus, the paper cups coming out of the first discharge port 21 are gradually conveyed to the collection hopper 8 for collection through the discharge hopper 9.

[0032] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
