Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated beverage equipment, and in particular to an integrated cup-shaking structure for beverage robots. Background Technology

[0002] In some existing production, experimental or service scenarios, robotic arms are often needed to assist in completing liquid-related operations, such as in beverage preparation and liquid mixing in chemical experiments.

[0003] However, currently, when these robotic arms process liquids, they can often only complete the simple step of picking up the liquid. Subsequent, more complex operations, such as thoroughly shaking the liquid, filtering and pouring it out, and picking up disposable cups, still require the use of multiple separate devices. This is not only cumbersome and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to guarantee the degree of automation and accuracy of the entire process, which is not conducive to achieving an efficient and precise liquid processing flow.

[0004] In view of this, this technical solution proposes an integrated cup-shaking structure for beverage robots, which has the functions of shaking and filtering, and also has a cup-clamping and placing action. The whole action is smooth and efficient, the overall structure is simple, and it is suitable for rapid assembly of various robotic arms. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an integrated shaker structure for a beverage robot, comprising a filter sealing assembly and a shaker sealing assembly respectively disposed on both sides of the cup body.

[0007] The filter-out capping assembly and the shake-to-capping assembly are both connected to their respective flipping mechanisms.

[0008] Both of the aforementioned flipping mechanisms are oriented towards the cup body. They each include a drive connected to a rotating shaft and a connector connected to the rotating shaft, with one end of the connector forming a connecting portion.

[0009] The filter sealing assembly includes a filter hole cover with filter holes on the cover body. One side of the filter hole cover is connected to the nearest flipping mechanism, enabling the filter hole cover to rotate and open / close with the cup opening portion of the cup body.

[0011] The bottoms of the cup body, the filter hole cover, the sealing cover and the turnover mechanism are all fixed on a mounting bracket, and a side hole plate assembled with an external mechanical arm is arranged on one side of the mounting bracket.

[0012] As a further solution of the present utility model, the mounting bracket is of an L-shaped structure, the bottom of which forms a bottom plate connected to the bottom end of the side hole plate, and the other side of the bottom plate is provided with a locking member that passes through the bottom plate and then is connected to the bottom of the cup body.

[0013] As a further solution of the present utility model, the bottom of the drive is sleeved with an outer casing, and the bottom of the outer casing is connected to the bottom plate.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0020] This technical solution successfully integrates the functions of shaking and filtering / pouring into one unit by placing the filter capping assembly and the shaking capping assembly on opposite sides of the cup body and connecting each to an independent flipping mechanism.

[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 1-7 ,

[0033] This technical solution provides an integrated shaker structure for a beverage robot. Its main structure consists of a filter-out sealing assembly (2) and a shaker-out sealing assembly (3) respectively arranged on both sides of the cup body (1). Each of these two assemblies is connected to an independent flipping mechanism (4). Each flipping mechanism (4) is installed facing the cup body (1) and includes a drive component (40). The drive (40) is connected to a rotating shaft (41), which is then connected to a connector (42). One end of the connector (42) forms a connecting portion (421). The filter-out sealing assembly (2) includes a filter-hole cover (20) with filter holes on the cover body. One side of the filter-hole cover (20) is connected to the nearest flipping mechanism (4) via the connecting portion (421), allowing the filter-hole cover (20) to rotate around the rotating shaft (41), thus opening or closing the cup body (1). Similarly, the shaker cap assembly (3) includes a sealing cap (30), one side of which is connected to the nearest flipping mechanism (4) via a connecting part (421) to achieve the rotational opening and closing of the sealing cap (30). In the entire structure, the bottom of the cup body (1), the filter cap (20), the sealing cap (30), and the flipping mechanism (4) are all fixed on an assembly bracket (6). One side of the assembly bracket (6) is provided with a side perforated plate (61) for quick assembly with an external robotic arm, thereby forming a compact integrated unit.

[0034] Specifically, the beneficial effect is that this solution improves the operational efficiency and continuity of automated beverage equipment. Traditional equipment requires multiple independent devices to complete the shaking, filtering and pouring actions separately, while this solution integrates all these functions into one structure. The opening and closing of the filter hole cover (20) and the sealing cover (30) can be controlled by the simple drive of the flipping mechanism (4), avoiding the trouble of frequently changing tools or manual intervention.

[0035] In practice, for example, when it is necessary to shake the liquid in the cup, the drive (40) of the shaking and sealing assembly (3) is activated, driving the rotating shaft (41) to rotate. The rotating shaft (41) pushes the sealing cap (30) to flip and tightly cover the cup mouth through the connector (42). At this time, the robotic arm can stably shake the cup body (1) after being connected through the side hole plate (61) to ensure that the liquid is fully mixed. After the mixing is completed, the drive (40) works in reverse, and the sealing cap (30) automatically opens, ready for the next operation. Similarly, when it is necessary to filter the liquid, the drive (40) of the filter sealing assembly (2) is activated, driving the filter hole cap (20) to flip and cover the cup mouth through the same mechanism. Then the liquid is poured out. The filter hole can effectively intercept solid impurities and achieve rapid filtration. The whole process does not require disassembly or adjustment of parts. The action is smooth and automatic, which greatly reduces the operation time and complexity. At the same time, the structure is simple and reliable, and it is easy to be adapted to various robotic arms. It is suitable for scenarios such as beverage making and experimental mixing, improving the overall level of automation and the processing accuracy of various liquids (mainly beverages).

[0036] It is understood that the drive (40) in this solution can be a commonly available motor, cylinder, or other device. Furthermore, the assembly of the entire flipping mechanism (4) and the two sealing cap assemblies can be vertical or horizontal. For example, the attached diagram shows a vertical assembly. When assembled horizontally, the two caps open and close in an alternating manner with the cup opening of the cup body (1) along the X-axis. Additionally, the filter cap (20) and sealing cap (30) in this solution can also be other functional caps or devices, which can be replaced according to specific usage requirements.

[0037] Reference Appendix Figure 2 , 3 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket (6) is similar to an "L" shaped structure, with a base plate (60) extending from its bottom. One end of the base plate (60) is connected to the bottom end of the side hole plate (61). On the other side of the base plate (60), there is a detachable locking member (600). The locking member (600) passes through the bottom of the base plate (60) and is directly connected and fixed to the bottom of the cup body (1) upwards. The cup body (1) can be stably installed on the base plate (60).

[0038] Understandably, since the locking part (600) is detachable, for example, when it is necessary to replace the cup body (1) of different specifications or to perform cleaning and maintenance, the cup body (1) can be easily removed by simply unscrewing the locking part (600) from the bottom of the base plate (60). This not only makes the cup body (1) stable and does not shake during the shaking and filtering process, but also greatly facilitates the daily cleaning and replacement of parts of the equipment, and improves the practicality and maintenance efficiency of the entire structure.

[0039] Reference Appendix Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an outer cover (43) is fitted at the bottom of the drive (40) of the flipping mechanism (4). The bottom of the outer cover (43) is connected to the base plate (60) of the mounting bracket (6). The drive (40) and its driven rotating shaft (41), connecting parts (42) and other moving parts are stably fixed on the base plate (60), making the overall structure more compact and neat, and effectively preventing external interference or foreign objects from entering.

[0040] Reference Appendix Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a collar (5) is provided on the outside of the cup body (1), and connectors (50) are provided on both sides of the collar (5). The two connectors (50) are respectively connected to the outer cover (43) located on both sides of the cup body (1). Therefore, the outer cover (43) also has the function of connecting to the two connectors (50).

[0041] It is easy to understand that the connection manner between the outer casing (43) and the connection head (50) may also be detachable. The collar (5) can make the cup body (1) more stably fixed on the assembly bracket (6), effectively preventing possible shaking of the cup body (1) during dynamic operations such as shaking up or filtering out, and improving the stability and reliability of the operation of the entire apparatus.

[0042] Reference to the accompanying Figure 4 , 5 , a preferred embodiment of the present utility model is as follows: in the present solution, a circle of sealing groove (320) is provided on the inner side of each of the sealing cover (30) and the filter hole cover (20), and the shape of the sealing groove (320) corresponds to the cup rim structure at the upper edge of the cup body (1).

[0043] For example, in actual operation, when the sealing cover (30) or the filter hole cover (20) rotates under the drive (40) of the turnover mechanism (4) and closes over the cup opening, the cup rim of the cup body (1) will be embedded into the corresponding sealing groove (320) to form a tight seal, which effectively prevents the liquid in the cup body (1) from spilling from the gap of the cup opening during shaking or moving, ensures the cleanness of the operation process and no loss of materials, and also improves the sealing and hygiene level of the entire automated operation.

[0044] Reference to the accompanying Figure 4 , a preferred embodiment of the present utility model is as follows: the overall shape of the connecting member (42) is similar to a "U"-shaped structure, the two end heads on both sides in the opening direction thereof are respectively provided with a rotating shaft assembling hole (420) for connecting with the rotating shaft (41) of the turnover mechanism (4), and the closed bottom of the "U"-shaped structure forms a connecting portion (421), which is fixedly connected to the connecting positions (321) on the side surfaces of the filter hole cover (20) and the sealing cover (30) respectively.

[0045] It can be understood that the "U"-shaped structure is only one of the effective forms for realizing power transmission, which can stably convert the rotational motion of the drive (40) and the rotating shaft (41) into the turnover motion of the filter hole cover (20) and the sealing cover (30), ensure stable action and accurate position of the covers during the opening and closing process, is simple and reliable, makes the force transmission more direct, and also ensures that the covers can be tightly attached to the cup opening, so as to effectively complete the sealing or filtering function.

[0046] Certainly, the structure for achieving this technical effect is not limited to this "U" shape, and other structural forms with similar functions are also applicable to the present solution.

[0047] Reference to the accompanying Figure 4In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, fixing holes (430) are provided on both sides of the upper section of the outer cover (43), and the driving component (40) of the flipping mechanism (4) is directly fixed on both sides of the fixing holes (430), and the driving component (40) is positioned inside the outer cover (43).

[0048] The preferred fixing method of this solution is fixing on both sides, which effectively prevents the drive (40) from generating unnecessary vibration or displacement during operation. Of course, other types of fixing methods are also possible.

[0049] Reference Appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a cup clamping mechanism (7) is also provided on one side of the bottom of the base plate (60) of the mounting bracket (6). The entire device of this solution has an additional clamping function on the basis of having the core functions of shaking and filtering. The cup clamping mechanism (7) can directly clamp another independent disposable cup or other container, thereby realizing the automated operation from shaking and filtering to taking a new container. There is no need to change equipment or manual intervention, which greatly expands the working capacity of the equipment and makes the entire liquid processing process more efficient and integrated.
