Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of counting and stacking devices, and more specifically, to an automatic counting and stacking device for cup stacks. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as food, beverage, and daily packaging, metal or plastic cup sheets are the basic components of container production. The efficiency and precision of their post-production processing directly affect the production capacity of the downstream industry chain. With the continuous growth of consumer demand for packaging containers, the annual production capacity of metal cup sheets (such as aluminum beverage cups) and plastic cup sheets (such as PP food cups) is increasing.
[0003] Currently, the stacking, counting, and sorting of metal cups mostly relies on manual operation or semi-automatic equipment. The manual method, which involves stacking and counting by hand, is not only inefficient but also prone to counting errors due to fatigue, making it difficult to adapt to high-speed production lines. Although semi-automatic equipment achieves partial automation, it often uses a single sensor for counting, which is easily affected by the deformation or stacking of the metal cups, resulting in insufficient counting accuracy. How to invent an automatic counting and sorting device for stacked cups to improve these problems has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art to solve. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides an automatic counting and stacking device for stacked cup pieces, which aims to improve the problems of deformation or stacking of metal cup pieces and the easy appearance of burrs on the surface of metal cup pieces during stacking.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: This utility model provides an automatic counting and stacking device for cup slices, including a base, a platform fixedly installed on the side wall of the base, a controller fixedly installed on the side wall of the platform, a limit plate fixedly installed on the side wall of the base, a limit frame, a conveying device, a conveyor belt, and a drive roller on the side wall of the base, and a power assembly above the platform. The power assembly includes a telescopic rod, which is fixedly connected to one end of the controller, and further includes: A flattening assembly, which is located above the platform.
[0006] Preferably, the side wall of the base is provided with a sliding groove, and a push block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. The push block is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod away from the controller, and a toothed belt is fixedly installed at one end of the push block.
[0007] Preferably, an airbag is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute, the airbag is fixedly connected to the end of the push block away from the telescopic rod, and an exhaust hole is provided on the inner wall of the airbag.
[0008] Preferably, the flattening assembly includes a pressing roller, the side wall of which has a circular groove, a limiting block is provided on one side of the circular groove, the limiting block is fixedly connected to the platform, the circular groove and the limiting block slide against each other, one end of the limiting block is fixedly connected to a limiting plate, the other end of the limiting block is fixedly connected to a limiting frame, and a gear is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pressing roller, the gear meshing with a toothed belt.
[0009] Preferably, the base has a lifting groove on its side wall, a slider is slidably installed on the inner wall of the lifting groove, a slide rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider, one end of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove, a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove and the side wall of the slider, respectively. The pressing roller is rotatably connected to the side wall of the slider.
[0010] Preferably, the base is rotatably connected to both ends of the transmission roller, the transmission roller is drivenly connected to the inner wall of the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt is located on one side of the platform, the base is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying device, the base is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting frame, and the limiting frame is located below the conveying device.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This device uses a telescopic rod to drive a pusher block to push metal cups, causing the lower metal cups to slide along the platform while the upper metal cups are restricted by the limiting frame. At the same time, as the pusher block slides, it compresses the airbag, and then uses the lateral impact force of the airflow to separate the edges of the metal cups first. The gap after separation will guide the airflow to further penetrate between the two pieces, forming an air pressure difference, while also assisting the pusher block to push the whole thing apart, preventing the uneven stacking of the two metal cups from affecting subsequent stacking and counting.
[0012] During the above process, when the metal cup moves below the pressing roller, the rotating pressing roller and the pusher push it, causing the pressing roller to press the metal cup. At this time, the slider overcomes the elastic force of the spring and slides along the inner wall of the lifting groove. Meanwhile, due to the frosted surface of the pressing roller, the toothed belt and gear drive the pressing roller to rotate, so that the frosted surface of the roller contacts the metal cup under the action of force, thereby polishing the metal cup to remove burrs and perform preliminary polishing.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, 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 scope of protection of this utility model.
[0017] Example, refer to Figures 1-5An automatic counting and stacking device for cup slices includes a base 1, a platform 3 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the base 1, a controller 4 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the platform 3, a limit plate 8 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the base 1, a limit frame 5, a conveying device 6, a conveyor belt 7, and a transmission roller 10 provided on the side wall of the base 1, and a power assembly 2 provided above the platform 3. The power assembly 2 includes a telescopic rod 201, which is fixedly connected to one end of the controller 4, and also includes: Flattening component 9 is located above platform 3.
[0018] Furthermore, the base 1 has a sliding groove 203 on its side wall, and a push block 202 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 203. The push block 202 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 201 away from the controller 4. A toothed belt 206 is fixedly installed on one end of the push block 202. An airbag 204 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 203. The airbag 204 is fixedly connected to the end of the push block 202 away from the telescopic rod 201. An exhaust hole 205 is provided on the inner wall of the airbag 204. The base 1 is rotatably connected to both ends of the transmission roller 10. The transmission roller 10 is connected to the inner wall of the conveyor belt 7. The conveyor belt 7 is located on one side of the platform 3. The base 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying device 6. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting frame 5. The limiting frame 5 is located below the conveying device 6.
[0019] It should be noted that: initially, the processed metal cup pieces fall from the processing device onto the conveying device 6, and are then conveyed by the conveying device 6 into the interior of the limiting frame 5. Since the limiting frame 5 is arranged to be wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, when the metal cup pieces fall into the limiting frame 5, the limiting frame 5 restrains them, causing the originally messy metal cup pieces to fall into the platform 3 below in the same position. The limiting frame 5 and the flattening component 9 at the lower end restrain the metal cup pieces, which facilitates subsequent stacking and prevents the stack from collapsing due to unevenness.
[0020] Simultaneously, the controller 4 controls the telescopic rod 201 to move towards the flattening component 9, thereby driving the pusher block 202 to slide along the inner wall of the slide groove 203 and compress the airbag 204. This allows the pusher block 202 to push the metal cup plate along the platform 3 towards the flattening component 9. During this process, the pusher block 202 pushes the airbag 204, causing the space inside the airbag 204 to shrink. Since the gas volume remains constant, the shrinking space causes the gas inside the airbag 204 to be discharged from the exhaust port 205 and blown onto the surface of the metal cup plate, thus blowing away the dust on the surface of the metal cup plate. At the same time, the gas also assists the pusher block 202 in pushing the metal cup plate. This allows the lower metal cup to slide along the platform 3, while the upper metal cup is restricted by the limiting frame 5 (because the section of the limiting frame 5 near the flattening component 9 is relatively long, the distance between the limiting frame 5 and the platform 3 can only accommodate one metal cup). This separates the two metal cups that are stuck together due to static electricity (using the lateral impact force of the airflow to separate the edges of the metal cups first, the gap after separation will guide the airflow to further penetrate between the two pieces, forming an air pressure difference, while the pusher block 202 assists in pushing the whole to separate), preventing the uneven stacking of the two metal cups from affecting subsequent stacking and counting.
[0021] Reference Figures 3-5 Furthermore, the flattening assembly 9 includes a pressing roller 901, with a circular groove 902 formed on the side wall of the pressing roller 901. A limiting block 903 is provided on one side of the circular groove 902. The limiting block 903 is fixedly connected to the platform 3, and the circular groove 902 and the limiting block 903 slide relative to each other. One end of the limiting block 903 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 8, and the other end of the limiting block 903 is fixedly connected to the limiting frame 5. A gear 904 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pressing roller 901, and the gear 904... The toothed belt 206 is engaged. The side wall of the base 1 is provided with a lifting groove 908. A slider 905 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the lifting groove 908. A slide rod 906 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider 905. One end of the slide rod 906 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove 908. A spring 907 is sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod 906. The two ends of the spring 907 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove 908 and the side wall of the slider 905, respectively. The pressing roller 901 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the slider 905.
[0022] It should be noted that: at the same time, the pusher 202 continues to drive the toothed belt 206 to move towards the limiting plate 8. Since the toothed belt 206 is in contact with the gear 904, it synchronously drives the gear 904 and the pressing roller 901. As the metal cup is pushed by the pusher 202, it slides along the inner wall of the limiting block 903. At this time, the metal cup moves below the pressing roller 901. With the rotation of the pressing roller 901 and the pusher 202, the pressing roller 901 presses the metal cup. At this time, the slider 905 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 907 and slides along the inner wall of the lifting groove 908, causing the pressing roller 901 to move slightly upward (the upward distance is far below the meshing limit distance between the toothed belt 206 and the gear 904, and will not affect the transmission between the toothed belt 206 and the gear 904).
[0023] When occasional abnormalities occur in the stacked cup pieces, such as warping at the edges during cutting (due to uneven material stress, internal stress release, or unreasonable process parameters during cutting), the upward movement of the roller can absorb the instantaneous impact force through spring 907, preventing damage to components such as gear 904, toothed belt 206, and roller due to rigid collisions. This avoids cup piece deformation, creases, or surface scratches. Simultaneously, the gravity of the pressing roller 901 corrects slightly deformed metal cup pieces. Furthermore, the frosted surface of the pressing roller 901, in conjunction with the toothed belt 206 and gear 904, drives the pressing roller 901... 1. Rotation causes the frosted surface of the pressing roller 901 to contact the metal cup under force, thereby polishing the metal cup to remove burrs and perform preliminary polishing. Since the limiting plate 8 is connected to the limiting block 903, the pushing block 202 causes the metal cup to fall onto the conveyor belt 7. As the conveyor belt 7 is conveyed, the metal cup is conveyed along the limiting plate 8 on the conveyor belt 7, so as to be limited by the limiting plate 8 and the limiting block 903, so as to facilitate subsequent stacking and prevent the disordered position of the metal cup from affecting subsequent stacking and counting.
[0024] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
