The cup lid includes a lid body with a sliding groove and a locking gripper on the groove. The locking gripper includes a cup cap on the lid, a limiting plate with a limiting hole, a spring hole on the cup cap, a spring in the spring hole, and left and right locking tongues with clamping portions. The limiting plate restrains the clamping portion from abutting against the spring through the limiting hole. The locking tongues are mounted on the sliding groove and can slide horizontally within the space defined by the limiting hole. The cup lid also covers the cup body. The aforementioned cup lids and dyeing cups disclosed in China, when used in dyeing machines, especially in intelligent dyeing machines where the dyeing cups need to be flipped, present the following problems. First, to ensure the stability of the clamping, after the automatic locking cup lid is pressed into the cup body, there may be a situation where the left or right locking tongue does not fully extend into the tongue groove of the cup body. Therefore, in order to solve the above, a corresponding second-determining tube lid structure needs to be set on the intelligent dyeing machine to ensure that the left or right locking tongue fully extends into the tongue groove. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a lid clamping hand and lid pressing system capable of stably holding the aforementioned automatic locking cup lid and providing secondary confirmation that the lid's locking tongue is fully inserted into the cup body's tongue groove.

When an element is said to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0015] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a cup lid clamp, which is mainly used to clamp an automatic locking cup lid and a dyeing and finishing cup disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 2024206238648. The disclosed automatic locking cup lid A (hereinafter referred to as the cup lid) is clamped by the cup lid clamp of this utility model, so that its left and right locking tongues retract into the sliding groove, and then placed into the mouth of the cup body B.

[0017] The cup lid clamp of this utility model includes a lifting bracket 10 and clamping components 20 symmetrically installed on both sides of the lifting bracket 10. The clamping components 20 include a clamping cylinder 21, a pushing fork 22, two first connecting rods 23, two second connecting rods 24, an L-shaped clamping connecting rod 25, a swing plate 26, a limiting block 27, and clamping fingers 28. The clamping cylinder 21 is fixed on the lifting bracket 10. The pushing fork 22 is installed on the cylinder shaft of the clamping cylinder 21 and connected to one end of each of the two first connecting rods 23 and one end of each of the second connecting rods 24 via pins A. The limiting block 27 is fixed on the lifting bracket 10. The other ends of the two second connecting rods 24 are movably connected to the limiting block 27 via pins A. The other end of the second connecting rod 24 is movably connected to one end of the L-shaped clamping connecting rod 25 via a pivot pin A. The other end of the L-shaped clamping connecting rod 25 is fixed to the bottom end of the swing plate 26. The top end of the swing plate 26 is movably connected to the top of the lifting bracket 10 via a rotating shaft B. The clamping finger 28 is fixed to the bottom end of the swing plate 26. The clamping cylinder 21 pulls the second connecting rod 24 to move, and then the second connecting rod 24 pulls the L-shaped clamping connecting rod 25 to move, so that the L-shaped clamping connecting rod 25 drives the swing plate 26 to swing around the rotating shaft B as the axis. This achieves the clamping of the cup lid by the two clamping components 20. The stability of the clamping can be improved by the cooperation of the two sets of clamping components 20.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the cup lid pressing system provided by this utility model includes the aforementioned cup lid clamping hand and a finger cylinder 30 installed on the lifting bracket of the cup lid clamping hand. Each translating finger 30 of the finger cylinder 30 is fixed with a spreading block 31. The two spreading blocks 31 extend into the two clamping parts of the cup lid, so that the finger cylinder 30 works to spread the two clamping parts, so that the two clamping parts of the cup lid are fully inserted into the tongue groove.

[0019] It is worth mentioning that the finger cylinder is a common type of open-closed type in this field, such as the Japanese SMC cylinder MHZ2-20D3 or the AirTAC cylinder HFK20. Therefore, the specific structure of the finger cylinder will not be described.

[0020] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cup lid clamp of this utility model is mounted on the XYZ moving platform 50. The cup lid clamp moves in the X, Y, and Z axes via the XYZ moving platform 40. The XYZ axis platform is a conventional technology in the field, which uses an electric lead screw pair or a cup lid clamp to achieve various movements. After the cup lid clamp 1 clamps the cup lid and presses it into the cup body, the movement of the XYZ moving platform drives the finger cylinder to move, so that the two opening blocks extend between the two clamping parts of the cup lid and open the clamping parts of the cup lid.

[0021] The cup lid clamping method provided by the utility model includes the following steps:

[0022] S1, the XYZ moving platform moves the lid clamping hand horizontally to the lid position, and then the XYZ axis moving platform descends to clamp the lid with the two sets of clamping components of the lid clamping hand before rising again.

[0023] S2, the lid clamping hand, which clamps the lid, is moved horizontally to the mouth of the cup body by the XYZ axis moving platform, and the lid is pressed into the mouth of the cup body by the XYZ axis moving platform descending.

[0024] S3, the XYZ axis moving platform moves the finger cylinder to the cup lid after it is pressed into the cup body. The XYZ axis moving platform descends to make the two opening blocks on the finger cylinder extend between the two clamping parts of the cup lid. The finger cylinder pushes the two opening blocks to open them, so that the two clamping parts of the cup lid are fully inserted into the tongue groove.

[0025] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
