Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper cup production technology, specifically to a spiral cup separating device. Background Technology
[0002] In automated production lines for disposable containers such as paper cups and plastic cups, the cup-separating device is a crucial component. Its function is to separate densely packed, continuously fed cups into fixed intervals to facilitate subsequent processes such as bagging, packaging, and boxing. The quality of the cup-separating directly impacts the efficiency and yield of the entire production line.
[0003] In the existing technology, common cup-separating devices use a cylinder or motor-driven baffle to periodically block and release the cup to achieve separation. This mechanism has a simple structure, but it has problems such as unstable cup separation distance, slow running speed, and rigid contact between the baffle and the cup, which can easily cause the cup to deform or scratch due to impact. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application proposes a spiral cup separating device that uses the curved surface of the spiral groove on the spiral roller to progressively guide and push the paper cup. This contact method is gentle and continuous, avoiding instantaneous impact, thereby significantly reducing the risk of paper cups being dented, deformed, or scratched. It is particularly suitable for the production of thin-walled high-end paper cups.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a spiral cup-dividing device, comprising: a support frame and a worktable; two spiral rollers are provided on the top of the support frame; fixed frames are provided on the left and right sides of the spiral rollers; a first driven rod and a second driven rod are respectively fixedly inserted through the inner cavity of the two spiral rollers; a protective box is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame near the right side; a servo motor is installed on the right side wall of the protective box; a drive rod is rotatably connected to the right side wall of the inner cavity of the protective box; a drive single groove wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the drive rod; a driven single groove wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the first driven rod; and a driven double groove wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the second driven rod.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the support frame is fixedly connected with four feet, which are arranged in a rectangular array.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the workbench is located inside the support frame, and two support plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and the two ends of the first driven rod and the second driven rod are respectively rotatably connected to the adjacent fixing frame.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driven single groove wheel, the driven double groove wheel, and the driving single groove wheel are all part of the inner cavity of the protective box. A driven belt is provided between the driven single groove wheel and the driven double groove wheel, and the driven single groove wheel and the driven double groove wheel are connected by the driven belt drive.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a drive belt is provided between the driven double grooved wheel and the driving single grooved wheel, and the driven double grooved wheel and the driving single grooved wheel are connected by the drive belt transmission.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the right end of the drive rod is fixedly connected to the power output end of the servo motor, and a through hole is provided at the bottom of the protective box, which corresponds to the worktable.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In this utility model, the cup separation is precise and stable, eliminating cup jamming and stacking. Driven by a servo motor, the system drives a pair of spiral rollers to rotate synchronously via a single grooved wheel, a drive belt, a driven double grooved wheel, a driven belt, and a driven single grooved wheel. The spiral grooves on the spiral rollers form a flexible line contact and guide with the paper cups, which can reliably and equidistantly separate densely packed cups. This effectively solves the problems of uneven cup separation, cup jamming, and stacking caused by inaccurate synchronization and rigid impact in traditional baffle or star wheel mechanisms. 2. In this utility model, the device uses flexible contact, which greatly reduces product damage. Unlike the rigid impact of the baffle or the toothed impact of the star wheel in the prior art, this device uses the curved surface of the spiral groove on the spiral roller to gradually guide and push the paper cup. This contact method is gentle and continuous, avoiding instantaneous impact, thereby significantly reducing the risk of the paper cup being dented, deformed or scratched. It is especially suitable for the production of thin-walled high-end paper cups. Attached Figure Description

[0014] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0015] Example like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a spiral cup-dividing device includes: a support frame 1 and a worktable 3. The worktable 3 is located inside the support frame 1. Two support plates 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the worktable 3. Four feet 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 1. The four feet 2 are arranged in a rectangular array. Two spiral rollers 5 are provided on the top of the support frame 1. Fixed frames 6 are provided on the left and right sides of the spiral rollers 5. A first driven rod 9 and a second driven rod 10 are fixedly passed through the inner cavity of the two spiral rollers 5 respectively. The fixed frames 6 are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. The two ends of the first driven rod 9 and the second driven rod 10 are rotatably connected to the adjacent fixed frames 6 respectively. A protective box 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1 near the right side. A servo motor 8 is installed on the right side wall of the protective box 7. A drive rod 16 is rotatably connected to the right side wall of the inner cavity of the protective box 7.
[0016] In this embodiment, a drive single groove wheel 14 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the drive rod 16, a driven single groove wheel 11 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the first driven rod 9, and a driven double groove wheel 12 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the second driven rod 10. The driven single groove wheel 11, the driven double groove wheel 12, and the drive single groove wheel 14 are all the inner cavities of the protective box 7. A driven belt 13 is provided between the driven single groove wheel 11 and the driven double groove wheel 12. The driven single groove wheel 11 and the driven double groove wheel 12 are connected by the driven belt 13. A drive belt 15 is provided between the driven double groove wheel 12 and the drive single groove wheel 14. The driven double groove wheel 12 and the drive single groove wheel 14 are connected by the drive belt 15. The right end of the drive rod 16 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the servo motor 8. A through hole is opened at the bottom of the protective box 7, and the through hole corresponds to the worktable 3.
[0017] When cups are being conveyed on the conveyor belt, the servo motor 8 drives the drive single groove wheel 14 to rotate via the drive rod 16. The drive single groove wheel 14 drives the driven double groove wheel 12 to rotate via the drive belt 15. The driven double groove wheel 12 drives the driven single groove wheel 11 to rotate via the driven belt 13. When the driven double groove wheel 12 rotates, it drives the second driven rod 10 to rotate. When the driven single groove wheel 11 rotates, it drives the first driven rod 9 to rotate. The first driven rod 9 and the second driven rod 10 drive the two spiral rollers 5 to rotate respectively. When the cups are conveyed to the spiral rollers 5, the spiral grooves on the outer side of the spiral rollers 5 cooperate with the paper cups to convey the paper cups and separate them at equal intervals.
[0018] This device provides precise and stable cup separation, eliminating cup jamming and stacking. Driven by a servo motor 8, it drives a pair of spiral rollers 5 to rotate synchronously via a drive single grooved wheel 14, drive belt 15, driven double grooved wheel 12, driven belt 13, and driven single grooved wheel 11. The spiral grooves on the spiral rollers 5 form flexible line contact and guidance with the paper cups, reliably and equidistantly separating densely packed cups. This effectively solves the problems of uneven cup separation, cup jamming, and stacking caused by inaccurate synchronization and rigid impact in traditional baffle or star wheel mechanisms.
[0019] This device features flexible contact, which greatly reduces product damage. Unlike the rigid impact of baffles or the toothed impact of star wheels in existing technologies, this device uses the curved surface of the spiral groove on the spiral roller 5 to gradually guide and push the paper cup. This contact method is gentle and continuous, avoiding instantaneous impact, thus significantly reducing the risk of paper cups being dented, deformed or scratched. It is particularly suitable for the production of thin-walled high-end paper cups.
[0020] Implementation plan: During use, when cups are being conveyed on the conveyor belt, the servo motor 8 drives the drive single groove wheel 14 to rotate via the drive rod 16. The drive single groove wheel 14 drives the driven double groove wheel 12 to rotate via the drive belt 15. The driven double groove wheel 12 drives the driven single groove wheel 11 to rotate via the driven belt 13. When the driven double groove wheel 12 rotates, it drives the second driven rod 10 to rotate. When the driven single groove wheel 11 rotates, it drives the first driven rod 9 to rotate. The first driven rod 9 and the second driven rod 10 drive the two spiral rollers 5 to rotate respectively. When the cups are conveyed to the spiral rollers 5, the spiral grooves on the outer side of the spiral rollers 5 cooperate with the paper cups to convey the paper cups and separate them at equal intervals.
