Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a device for trimming the mouth of an edible coffee cup. Background Technology

[0002] Existing edible coffee cups are containers made from edible raw materials such as grain powder and starch through molding and baking. They combine the functions of a container with edibility and have been increasingly used in catering settings in recent years to reduce packaging waste. Currently, the rim trimming process is mostly done manually with hand-held cutting tools, or by using simple clamps to fix the cup in place and then using a single cutting mechanism. Manual trimming requires manually positioning the coffee cup and controlling the cutting trajectory, while simple clamps are mostly rigid structures that provide basic clamping and fixation. After cutting, the crumbs inside the cup need to be manually emptied. However, existing technologies have the following problems: Edible coffee cups are mostly made from grain powder, starch, and other raw materials, which are brittle and have low structural strength. Existing rigid clamps are prone to squeezing and damaging the cup walls during the clamping process. Manual positioning and cutting methods are not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also make it difficult to ensure the consistency of cup rim sizes across different products. Furthermore, edible residues generated during cutting easily remain inside the cup, and existing technologies rely on manual cleaning of these residues, increasing the production process and making it difficult to meet the hygiene and efficiency requirements of large-scale production. Therefore, it is necessary to design an edible coffee cup rim trimming device. Utility Model Content

[0017] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0018] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an edible coffee cup cleaning device, including a base 1, a placement component 2, a moving component 3, a cutting component 4, and a flipping component 5. The base 1 has a processing table 11 with a receiving groove. The bottom surface of the inner wall of the receiving groove is designed as an arc-shaped slope 12, and collection boxes 13 are embedded in the low positions on both sides of the processing table 11 and installed by fasteners. The placement component 2 is slidably assembled in the receiving groove and includes a placement plate 22 for supporting the coffee cup. The moving component 3 is located on the side of the base 1 and is used to drive the placement component 2 to move horizontally. The cutting component 4 is located on the base 1 and directly above the center of the processing table 11. The flipping component 5 is located on the side of the placement component 2. When the placement component 2 is moved to one end of the processing table 11 by the moving component 3, the flipping component 5 drives the placement component 2 to flip over to clean up the residue.

[0020] The placement component 2 in this utility model is mainly used to support and position the edible coffee cup, providing a stable clamping base for the cup rim trimming process. Preferably, the placement component 2 includes two sets of slide rails 21 arranged parallel to each other in the receiving groove. A gap is left between the slide rails 21 and the bottom surface of the inner wall of the receiving groove to avoid the accumulation of residue affecting the smoothness of sliding. The placement plate 22 is slidably mounted on the two sets of slide rails 21 through the slider 23 at its bottom, and the placement plate 22 is mounted on the top surface of the two sets of sliders 23. One side of the placement plate 22 (corresponding to area A in the figure) is provided with a limiting plate 24 that partially fits against the outer wall of the coffee cup, and a sponge layer (not shown in the figure) is attached to the contact surface of the limiting plate 24 facing the coffee cup to avoid damaging the fragile edible coffee cup through the flexible contact of the sponge layer.

[0021] To further improve the adaptability and clamping stability of edible coffee cups of different sizes, the placement plate 22 locks the coffee cups using a locking unit. The locking unit includes a vertically arranged support plate 25, which is embedded in the side of the placement plate 22 (corresponding to area A in the figure). A concave seat 26 is fixed to one side of the support plate 25. A contact element 27 is rotatably mounted in the concave seat 26 via a pivot, forming an adaptive clamping structure. The contact surface of the contact element 27 facing the coffee cup is covered with a flexible sponge (adaptive to the coffee cup). The material is brittle to avoid damage from clamping, and a pressure sensor is embedded in the contact surface (which can monitor the clamping force and prevent over-clamping and breakage); the rigid support provided by the support plate 25 and the flexible clamping of the contact 27 cooperate to form a combination: the support plate 25 provides an installation reference for the contact 27 and limits its unnecessary displacement, while the contact 27 adapts to the outer contour of the coffee cup by rotating through the pivot, so that the coffee cup is clamped on the placement plate 22, effectively counteracting the radial force applied by the saw blade during trimming, ensuring that the cup does not shake or move during the entire trimming process, and ensuring trimming accuracy; A torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is connected between the contact 27 and the inner wall of the concave seat 26 to assist the contact 27 in resetting. A contact wheel 28 is movably mounted on one side of the contact 27. A protrusion 251 is formed by extending one side of the support plate 25 outward. A screw 29 is threaded onto the protrusion 251. One end of the screw 29 is connected to a pin 210 that abuts against the contact wheel 28 through a bearing. Rotating the screw 29 can push the pin 210 to press against the contact wheel 28, thereby causing the contact 27 to rotate around the axis. This adjusts the contact angle between the contact 27 and the coffee cup, achieving stable clamping of coffee cups of different sizes.

[0022] To prevent edible scraps from cutting from entering the locking unit and causing component jamming, a protective cover 211 for enclosing the locking unit is fixed on the support plate 25. The protective cover 211 has a sliding groove (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the rotation path of the contact member 27, which provides space for the clamping action of the contact member 27. A sliding plate 212 is fixed on the side of the contact member 27, and the sliding plate 212 and the upper end face of the protective cover 211 are arranged at a preset distance. This distance design ensures that the sliding plate 212 always covers the sliding groove when it moves synchronously with the contact member 27, effectively preventing scraps from entering the transmission components of the locking unit. On the other hand, it can prevent the sliding plate 212 from having a hard collision or motion interference with the upper end face of the protective cover 211 during the rotation of the contact member 27, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the locking unit.

[0023] The moving component 3 in this utility model is mainly used to provide a stable and precise horizontal driving force for the placement component 2, driving the placement component 2, which carries the coffee cup, to reciprocate within the receiving groove of the processing table 11. Preferably, the moving component 3 includes a concave frame 31 fixed to the side of the processing table 11. A lead screw 32 is rotatably connected between the two vertical ends of the concave frame 31 through bearings. Guide rods 34 are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the lead screw 32. The two ends of the guide rods 34 are fixedly connected to the two vertical ends of the concave frame 31. A sliding seat 33 is threaded onto the lead screw 32. The sliding seat 33 is simultaneously movably sleeved on the two sets of guide rods 34 to constrain the rotational freedom of the sliding seat 33 through the guide rods 34. A bending plate 37 is fixedly provided on the sliding seat 33. One end of the bending plate 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of one set of sliders 23. A servo motor 35 is installed on one side of the concave frame 31. The output shaft of the servo motor 35 is connected to one end of the lead screw 32 through a coupling.

[0024] To prevent crumbs generated during the trimming of edible coffee cups from falling into the transmission structure of the moving component 3 (such as the lead screw 32 and guide rod 34) and causing jamming or contamination, an inclined baffle 36 is provided above the moving component 3. The inclined baffle 36 is fixed to the upper surface of the processing table 11, and its tilt angle can guide the crumbs to slide down. At the same time, a small gap is reserved between the inclined baffle 36 and the bending plate 37. This gap ensures that there is no movement interference when the bending plate 37 moves synchronously with the sliding seat 33, and also maintains the shielding range of the moving component 3. Under the premise of not affecting the operation of the moving component 3, the transmission components are protected and the crumbs are guided.

[0025] The flipping component 5 in this invention is mainly used to drive the placement plate 22 to flip, so that the crumbs remaining in the coffee cup after trimming will automatically fall into the collection area, realizing automated cleaning of the crumbs. Preferably, the flipping component 5 includes a torsion spring hinge 51, which connects the placement plate 22 and one of the sliders 23, allowing the placement plate 22 to rotate flexibly around the hinge axis 53 of the torsion spring hinge 51. At the same time, the torsion spring structure can assist the placement plate 22 in returning to its original position after flipping. A mounting shell 52 is fixed to the side of the slider 23, and a drive shaft 54 ​​is rotatably connected to the mounting shell 52 through a bearing, which can ensure the stable rotation of the drive shaft 54. A main... The driving bevel gear 55 and the hinge shaft 53 of the torsion spring hinge 51 are fixed with a driven bevel gear (not shown in the figure) that meshes with the driving bevel gear 55, thus forming a bevel gear transmission structure to realize the direction of power steering; a gear 56 is coaxially fixed on the driving bevel gear 55, and a rack 58 is adapted to mesh with the gear 56. The rack 58 is fixed to one end of the inner wall of the processing table 11 by a concave fixing cover 57; when the placement component 2 moves to one end of the processing table 11 with the moving component 3, the gear 56 meshes with the rack 58. The translational force of the placement component 2 drives the gear 56 to rotate, and the hinge shaft 53 is driven to rotate through the bevel gear transmission, finally realizing the automatic flipping of the placement plate 22.

[0026] To achieve protection of rack 58 in non-working state and control of engagement / disengagement between gear 56 and rack 58, the flipping assembly 5 also includes cylinder 2 510 vertically arranged on the outer side of the processing table 11; the telescopic end of cylinder 2 510 is fixed with a shield 59, which is normally in a downward state and can shield gear 56, thus preventing rack 58 from being exposed to the outside and contaminated by debris or damaged by collision, and also preventing gear 56 from prematurely engaging with rack 58; The inner side of the processing table 11 is equipped with sensing components (including engagement trigger sensor and reset trigger sensor) adapted to the movement path of the placement component 2. The sensing components are electrically connected to the cylinder 510 through the control system to form a complete signal linkage mechanism. When the placement component 2 moves with the moving component 3 to the preset engagement position after the trimming process is completed (i.e., the sensing range of the engagement trigger sensor), the engagement trigger sensor captures the position signal in real time and feeds it back to the control system, thereby triggering the cylinder 510 to extend and drive the blocking component 59 to retract upward. At this time, the blocking restriction of the gear 56 is released, and it can smoothly engage with the rack 58 as the placement component 2 continues to move, ensuring that the subsequent transmission action of the flipping component 5 is carried out in an orderly manner. After the overturning and cleaning is completed, when the placement component 2 moves in the opposite direction to the preset reset position (i.e., the sensing range of the reset trigger sensor) along with the moving component 3, the reset trigger sensor 512 sends a signal to the control system, triggering the cylinder 2 510 to retract and reset, driving the shield 59 to fall back to the initial shield position, re-protecting the gear 56, and preventing the gear 56 from accidentally meshing with the rack 58 again during the return process, avoiding unnecessary meshing and causing component wear, and ensuring the stability of the device's cyclic operation.

[0027] In order to collect the edible coffee cup crumbs that fall when the placement plate 22 is flipped, a collection box 511 is provided on the flipping side of the flipping component 5 (i.e. the area where the crumbs fall after the placement plate 22 is flipped). The collection box 511 is detachably placed on the base 1 by fasteners, and its opening is directly below the flipping trajectory of the placement plate 22, ensuring that the crumbs fall accurately into the box, which is convenient for subsequent unified cleaning and also ensures the cleanliness of the surrounding environment of the device.

[0028] The cutting component 4 in this utility model is mainly used to adapt to edible coffee cups of different diameters. By adjusting the horizontal position of the saw blade 46, it can achieve precise trimming of cups of different sizes, thus improving the versatility of the device. As a preferred cutting component 4, it includes a bracket 41 fixed on the base 1. A cylinder 42 (preferably a stroke adjustable cylinder, which takes into account both lifting drive and horizontal adjustment adaptability) is fixed at the top of the bracket 41. A fixed seat (not shown in the figure) is fixed at the telescopic end of the cylinder 42. Two sets of symmetrically arranged guide rods 44 are fixed on the side of the fixed seat. The guide rods 44 move through the crossbeam of the bracket 41 to precisely guide and limit the horizontal movement of the fixed seat, avoid deviation during the adjustment process, and ensure the positional accuracy of the saw blade 46. A drive motor 45 is mounted on the side of the fixed base. It can be driven by a cylinder 42 to slide horizontally along the fixed base, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the saw blade 46. The output end of the drive motor 45 is fixedly connected to the saw blade 46 by anti-loosening fasteners. The saw blade 46 is preferably a thin, fine-toothed saw blade to reduce the splashing of debris and damage to the cup rim during trimming. During operation, the drive motor 45 drives the saw blade 46 to rotate at high speed, achieving precise and flat trimming of the rim of coffee cups of different diameters.

[0029] In this application, each of the two sets of sliders 23 is connected to a scraper (not shown in the figure) that is elastically supported by a spring. The bottom surface of the scraper is in contact with the arc-shaped inclined surface 12 of the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the length of the scraper is adapted to the width of the receiving groove. When the slider 23 drives the placement component 2 to move back and forth along the slide rail 21, the scraper moves synchronously with the slider 23. The preload of the spring keeps the scraper in contact with the bottom surface of the receiving groove, and scrapes the debris that falls into the receiving groove during the trimming process into the collection boxes 13 at the lower position on both sides, so as to realize the dynamic centralized collection of debris. In this application, the contact area of ​​the contact member 27 facing the coffee cup is detachably equipped with a fan-shaped clamping member (not shown in the figure). The inner arc surface of the fan-shaped clamping member is adapted to the outer contour of the edible coffee cup, and a flexible anti-slip pad is attached to the inner arc surface. By increasing the contact area with the coffee cup through the fan-shaped structure, and with the anti-slip effect of the flexible pad, the clamping pressure can be distributed to avoid damage to the brittle cup body, and the clamping stability of coffee cups of different diameters can be improved to prevent the cup body from shifting during trimming or flipping.

[0030] It should be noted that in this application, a control device (such as a PLC controller or touch operation panel) is integrated on one side of the base 1. This control device is electrically connected to the servo motor 35, drive motor 45, cylinder 1 42, cylinder 2 510, and sensing components (engagement trigger sensor, reset trigger sensor), pressure sensor, etc., through wiring to form a centralized control. Operators can preset parameters such as coffee cup diameter, trimming depth, and clamping force threshold through the control device, and can also monitor the equipment's operating status in real time. When the equipment is working, the control device triggers the motor to start and stop, and the cylinders to extend and retract based on the position signals fed back by each sensor and the clamping force signals fed back by the pressure sensor, realizing the automated linkage of processes such as clamping and positioning, leveling adjustment, cup trimming, and rinsing, thus ensuring ease of operation.

[0031] Working principle: At the beginning of operation, the operator places the edible coffee cup to be trimmed on the placement plate 22. By rotating the screw 29 of the locking unit, the operator pushes the pin block 210 to press against the contact wheel 28, causing the contact element 27 to rotate around the axis and fit against the outer wall of the coffee cup. This, combined with the flexible clamping of the limiting plate 24, achieves dual positioning. The pressure sensor on the contact element 27 monitors the clamping force in real time to prevent over-clamping and damage to the fragile coffee cup. The torsion spring provides the contact element 27 with a reset capability, adapting to coffee cups of different diameters. At the same time, the cooperation between the protective cover 211 and the sliding plate 212 can prevent debris generated during the subsequent trimming process from entering the locking unit, ensuring the stable operation of the clamping structure.

[0032] After the device is started, the servo motor 35 of the moving component 3 drives the lead screw 32 to rotate through the coupling. The sliding seat 33 moves horizontally along the lead screw 32 under the constraint of the guide rod 34. The bending plate 37 drives the placement component 2 to move along the slide rail 21 towards the cutting area in the center of the processing table 11. The inclined baffle 36 can prevent debris from falling into the transmission components such as the lead screw 32 and the guide rod 34, ensuring smooth movement. When the placement component 2 carries the coffee cup to the trimming station, the cutting component 4 drives the fixed seat to adjust the horizontal position of the saw blade 46 according to the diameter of the coffee cup through the cylinder 42. Then the drive motor 45 drives the thin fine tooth saw blade 46 to rotate at high speed. The cylinder 42 pushes the saw blade 46 to feed smoothly and precisely trim the mouth of the coffee cup. Some of the debris generated during trimming slides down the arc-shaped inclined surface 12 of the receiving groove of the processing table 11 to the collection boxes 13 on both sides, achieving initial collection.

[0033] After trimming, the moving component 3 drives the placement component 2 to continue moving towards the flipping area at one end of the processing table 11. When it reaches the sensing range of the engagement trigger sensor, the cylinder 510 receives a signal and extends, causing the blocking component 59 to move upward and release the obstruction of the gear 56. As the placement component 2 continues to move, the gear 56 meshes with the rack 58, using translational force to drive the driving bevel gear 55 to rotate. This rotation, via the driven bevel gear, drives the hinge shaft 53 of the torsion spring hinge 51 to rotate, causing the placement plate 22 to flip, and the residue remaining in the coffee cup falls into the collection box 511 below. After cleaning, the servo motor 35 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the placement component 2 to move back. When it reaches the sensing range of the reset trigger sensor, the cylinder 510 retracts and resets, and the blocking component 59 falls back to its initial position to protect the gear 56 and rack 58. At the same time, the torsion spring hinge 51 resets the placement plate 22, and the device returns to its initial state, completing one trimming operation. The operation can then be repeated for the next cycle.
