Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of paper cup collecting devices, and in particular to a paper cup collecting device. Background Technology
[0002] Disposable paper cups are convenient to carry and use, and are inexpensive, making them a common drinking tool in many homes and public places.
[0003] After paper cups are produced by a paper cup forming machine, they need to be collected in an orderly manner for subsequent packaging and transportation. Traditional collection methods often rely on manual handling or simple chutes, which suffer from low efficiency, easy deformation of paper cups due to collisions during collection, difficulty in accurate counting, and inconvenience for automated batch processing. Furthermore, existing collection devices have complex connections between components, hindering quick installation, disassembly, and maintenance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a paper cup collection device that is efficient, non-destructive, automatically counts, and easy to maintain. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a paper cup collecting device that features a simple structure, stable conveying, high efficiency, non-destructive operation, and automatic counting of paper cups.
[0005] This utility model provides a paper cup collecting device, comprising: a first conveying pipe connected in sequence to the outlet of the paper cup forming machine, a first arc-shaped guide pipe connected to the other end of the first conveying pipe, a second conveying pipe disposed at the other end of the first arc-shaped guide pipe, a second arc-shaped guide pipe connected to the other end of the second conveying pipe, and a collecting pipe vertically disposed at the other end of the second arc-shaped guide pipe.
[0006] A counting device is provided at the upper end of the collection tube.
[0007] The first conveying pipe, the first arc-shaped guide pipe, the second conveying pipe, the second arc-shaped guide pipe, and the second conveying pipe are quickly fixed together by snap-fit.
[0008] Preferably, the paper cup forming machine also includes a negative pressure fan located at the outlet of the paper cup forming machine, the negative pressure fan being used to blow the formed paper cups.
[0009] Preferably, the first arc-shaped guide tube includes multiple evenly distributed arc-shaped guide rods, a fixing sleeve that is spaced apart on the guide rods to fix the guide rods, and a transparent sealing tube that is wrapped around the outside of the guide rods; the multiple guide rods form a guide channel for the paper cup to pass through.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the end where the first conveying pipe connects to the first arc-shaped guide pipe is evenly provided with a plurality of guide slots and an annular slot provided at one end of the guide slots. The annular slot is concentrically arranged with the inner wall of the first arc-shaped guide pipe, and the outer wall of the first arc-shaped guide pipe is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the guide slot.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the collecting tube is provided with an isolation plate, and the isolation plate is connected to an opening and closing cylinder.
[0012] Preferably, the collection tube includes multiple evenly distributed guide rods, forming a paper cup collection space between the multiple guide rods.
[0013] Beneficial effects:
[0014] This utility model provides a paper cup collecting device.
[0015] 1. High-efficiency and non-destructive collection: By setting up first and second conveying pipes and an arc-shaped guide pipe, a smooth conveying path is formed. In particular, the arc-shaped guide pipe can smoothly change the direction of paper cup movement, avoiding jamming or deformation caused by sharp turns. The introduction of a negative pressure fan provides initial power, ensuring the continuity of collection.
[0016] 2. Automatic Counting and Batch Processing: A counting device is installed at the top of the collection tube to accurately count the output in real time. The isolation plate at the bottom of the collection tube works in conjunction with the opening and closing cylinder to achieve automatic unloading of a fixed quantity (e.g., every 100 pieces), which greatly facilitates the subsequent packaging process and improves the level of automation.
[0017] 3. Visibility and Ease of Maintenance: The arc-shaped guide tube utilizes a guide rod and transparent sealing structure, ensuring structural strength while facilitating observation of the internal paper cup flow, allowing for timely detection and resolution of problems. Components are quickly secured using snap-fit connections, simplifying installation and disassembly processes and facilitating cleaning and maintenance.
[0018] 4. Compact and reasonable structure: The collection tube adopts a multi-guide rod structure, which not only provides a stable space for the paper cups to fall and stack, but also has a certain degree of air permeability and saves materials. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Reference Figure 1
[0024] This utility model provides a paper cup collecting device, comprising: a first conveying pipe sequentially connected to the outlet of the paper cup forming machine; a first arc-shaped guide pipe connected to the other end of the first conveying pipe; a second conveying pipe disposed at the other end of the first arc-shaped guide pipe; a second arc-shaped guide pipe connected to the other end of the second conveying pipe; and a collecting pipe vertically disposed at the other end of the second arc-shaped guide pipe. During operation, the formed paper cups are blown out of the outlet 1 by the airflow generated by the negative pressure fan 8 and enter the first conveying pipe 2. The first conveying pipe 2 is typically a straight pipe. The paper cups then enter the first arc-shaped guide pipe 3, whose arc-shaped structure causes a smooth change in the direction of movement of the paper cups for the first time, avoiding direct impact. A counting device is provided at the upper end of the collecting pipe.
[0025] The first conveying pipe, the first arc-shaped guide pipe, the second conveying pipe, the second arc-shaped guide pipe, and the second conveying pipe are quickly fixed together by snap-fit.
[0026] The first arc-shaped guide tube 3 consists of multiple (e.g., 4-6) arc-shaped guide rods 31 evenly arranged to form a cylindrical channel. The guide rods 31 are kept in a stable relative position by multiple spaced fixing sleeves 32. The outside is wrapped with a transparent plastic or glass sealing tube 33, and the gaps between the guide rods 31 form a guide channel 34 for the paper cup to pass through. This structure ensures both guiding strength and easy observation.
[0027] After passing through the first arc-shaped guide tube 3, the paper cup enters the second conveying tube 4, and then undergoes a second directional adjustment through the second arc-shaped guide tube 5, finally being guided into the vertically arranged collection tube 6. The collection tube 6 can also be formed by multiple vertical guide rods 61, creating a collection space in the middle for easy observation and ventilation.
[0028] The first conveying pipe 2 and the first arc-shaped guide pipe 3 are connected by a snap-fit structure. Multiple circumferentially distributed guide grooves 9 and an annular groove 10 concentric with the inner wall of the first arc-shaped guide pipe 3 are machined on the inner wall of the connecting end of the first conveying pipe 2. Protrusions 11 corresponding to the number and position of the guide grooves 9 are provided on the outer wall of the connecting end of the first arc-shaped guide pipe 3. During installation, the protrusions 11 are aligned with the guide grooves 9 and inserted, and then the first arc-shaped guide pipe 3 is rotated to allow the protrusions 11 to slide into the annular groove 10, thus achieving quick fixing and sealing. Connections between other components, such as the second conveying pipe 4 and the second arc-shaped guide pipe 5, and the second arc-shaped guide pipe 5 and the collecting pipe 6, can all employ similar or identical snap-fit structures, thereby enabling rapid assembly and disassembly of the entire device.
[0029] A counting device 7 (such as a photoelectric sensor) is installed at the top of the collection tube 6, counting once each paper cup passes through. A separating plate 12 is located at the bottom of the collection tube 6, which is normally closed to support the falling paper cups. The separating plate 12 is connected to an opening / closing cylinder 13. When the counting device 7 reaches a preset value (e.g., 100), the control system sends a signal to the opening / closing cylinder 13, which actuates, pulling the separating plate 12 open, allowing the entire batch of paper cups to fall into the packaging box or the next workstation. The separating plate then closes, and the collection of the next batch of paper cups continues.
