Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service coffee kiosk technology, specifically a cup dispenser for self-service coffee kiosks. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of unmanned retail technology, self-service coffee kiosks, due to their convenience and efficiency, are widely used in densely populated places such as office buildings, shopping malls, and train stations. The cup and lid dispensing device, as one of the core components of the self-service coffee kiosk, is mainly used to achieve the orderly storage and precise dropping of cups and lids, ensuring the smooth and automated operation of the coffee making process.

[0003] Existing self-service coffee kiosks typically use cup dispensers and lid dispensers, with corresponding circular holes for cups and lids to fall, ensuring directional dispensing of the beverage. However, most cup dispensers on the market have fixed-position holes for these holes, which cannot be adjusted to meet specific needs. During installation and testing, this fixed position often leads to misalignment between the dispensing outlets and the holes of the cup and lid dispensers. To ensure smooth cup and lid descent, staff must repeatedly adjust the positions of the dispensers, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming but also risks loosening the installation structure and affecting the stability of the system.

[0004] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cup dispenser based on a self-service coffee kiosk to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cup feeding device based on a self-service coffee kiosk, including a lifting frame.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a cup feeding device based on a self-service coffee kiosk, including a lifting frame 1, on which a feeding platform is installed in a height-adjustable manner. The feeding platform includes a panel 2 slidably installed on the lifting frame 1. An installation frame 7 is installed on the back of the panel 2. A lower support plate 8 and an upper cover plate 9 are installed at intervals on the installation frame 7. A surrounding plate 10 is provided between the lower support plate 8 and the upper cover plate 9. The panel 2, the lower support plate 8, the upper cover plate 9 and the surrounding plate 10 enclose and form a feeding opening 3. Two discharge ports 13 connected to the feeding opening 3 are symmetrically opened on the upper cover plate 9. A cup dropper mounting plate 11 and a lid dropper mounting plate 12 corresponding to the discharge ports 13 are installed on the top surface of the upper cover plate 9. A movable plate 14 corresponding to the discharge ports 13 is provided between the cup dropper mounting plate 11 and the upper cover plate 9. A circular hole 15 is opened on the movable plate 14. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the movable plate 14 is installed on the upper cover plate 9.

[0025] Specifically, with the lifting frame 1 as the supporting base, the loading platform is slidably assembled to the lifting frame 1 via the panel 2. The mounting frame 7 on the back of the panel 2 provides installation support for the lower support plate 8 and the upper cover plate 9. The four of them, together with the surrounding plate 10, form a loading port 3 for storing cups and lids. The two discharge ports 13 of the upper cover plate 9 are respectively matched with the cup dropper mounting plate 11 and the lid dropper mounting plate 12 for installing the cup dropper and the lid dropper. The movable plate 14 is located between the cup dropper mounting plate 11 and the upper cover plate 9. Its round hole 15 corresponds to the discharge port 13. By driving the movable plate 14 to move through the adjustment mechanism, the horizontal position of the round hole 15 can be changed to achieve precise alignment with the discharge port of the cup dropper and the lid dropper.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the adjustment mechanism includes a first adjusting screw 16 and a second adjusting screw 17 rotatably mounted on the top surface of the upper cover plate 9. The first adjusting screw 16 extends along the width direction of the upper cover plate 9, and the second adjusting screw 17 extends along the length direction of the upper cover plate 9. The ends of the first adjusting screw 16 and the second adjusting screw 17 are rotatably connected to movable seats 18. The movable seats 18 located on the first adjusting screw 16 are slidably connected to the side wall of the movable plate 14 in the length direction, and the movable seats 18 located on the second adjusting screw 17 are slidably connected to the side wall of the movable plate 14 in the width direction.

[0027] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism consists of a first adjusting screw 16 extending along the width direction of the upper cover plate 9 and a second adjusting screw 17 extending along the length direction, both of which are rotatably mounted on the top surface of the upper cover plate 9; the movable seat 18 at the end of the screw is slidably connected to the side wall of the movable plate 14 in the length and width directions respectively; rotating the first adjusting screw 16 can drive the movable plate 14 to move along the width direction, and rotating the second adjusting screw 17 can drive the movable plate 14 to move along the length direction, thereby realizing bidirectional position adjustment of the movable plate 14 on the horizontal plane.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, guide rails 19 are installed on the side walls of the movable plate 14 in both the length and width directions, and the movable seat 18 is slidably connected to the guide rails 19.

[0029] Specifically, guide rails 19 are installed on the side walls of the movable plate 14 in the length and width directions. The movable seat 18 at the end of the first adjusting screw 16 and the second adjusting screw 17 is slidably embedded in the guide rail 19. When the screw rotates and drives the movable seat 18 to move, the movable seat 18 slides along the guide rail 19 in a directional manner, thereby driving the movable plate 14 to move smoothly.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a support seat 20 for supporting the first adjusting screw 16 and the second adjusting screw 17 is also installed on the upper cover plate 9. A threaded through hole is provided on the support seat 20, and the first adjusting screw 16 and the second adjusting screw 17 are threadedly connected inside the threaded through hole.

[0031] Specifically, the support seat 20 on the upper cover plate 9 has a threaded through hole, and the first adjusting screw 16 and the second adjusting screw 17 are threadedly connected to the threaded through hole. The support seat 20 provides a stable installation support for the screw, so that the screw keeps the axis stable during rotation and avoids shaking, deviation and other situations.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the support base 20 is also threadedly connected with a locking bolt 21. The locking bolt 21 is perpendicular to the first adjusting screw 16 and the second adjusting screw 17, and the bottom end of the locking bolt 21 is tightly abutted against the outer wall of the first adjusting screw 16 and the second adjusting screw 17.

[0033] Specifically, the locking bolt 21 threaded on the support base 20 is perpendicular to the first adjusting screw 16 and the second adjusting screw 17. After the position of the movable plate 14 is adjusted to the correct position, the locking bolt 21 is tightened so that its bottom end is pressed against the outer wall of the screw. The friction force restricts the rotation of the screw, thereby positioning the screw and fixing the position of the movable plate 14.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an electric lifting rod 6 is installed on the lifting frame 1, and the telescopic end of the electric lifting rod 6 is connected to the mounting frame 7.

[0035] Specifically, the electric lifting rod 6 installed on the lifting frame 1 has its telescopic end connected to the mounting frame 7. Through the telescopic movement of the electric lifting rod 6, the mounting frame 7 and the entire loading platform can be driven to rise and fall along the lifting frame 1, thereby adjusting the height of the loading port 3.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a slide rail 4 extending along its length is installed on the front end face of the lifting frame 1, and a slide block 5 is installed on the back of the panel 2, with the slide block 5 slidably connected to the slide rail 4.

[0037] Specifically, the slide rail 4 on the front end of the lifting frame 1 and the slide block 5 on the back of the panel 2 slide together to form a guide structure for lifting the loading platform. When the electric lifting rod 6 drives the loading platform to lift, the slide block 5 slides along the slide rail 4 in a directional manner, limiting the lifting trajectory of the loading platform.

[0038] The overall working principle of this solution is as follows: This cup-feeding device based on a self-service coffee kiosk uses a lifting frame 1 as its installation base to achieve the lifting and lowering of the feeding platform and the precise feeding of cups and lids. First, the feeding platform is slidably mounted on the slide rail 4 on the front face of the lifting frame 1 via the slide seat 5 on the back of the panel 2. In conjunction with the electric lifting rod 6 installed on the lifting frame 1, whose telescopic end is connected to the mounting frame 7 on the back of the panel 2, it can drive the entire feeding platform to rise and fall stably along the lifting frame 1, adapting to different feeding height requirements. Second, the feeding space is formed by the panel 2, the lower support plate 8 on the mounting frame 7, the upper cover plate 9, and the surrounding plate 10, forming the feeding opening 3, which is used to store the cups and lids to be fed. Two symmetrically opened dropping ports 13 on the upper cover plate 9 correspond to the cup dropping device mounting plate 11 and the lid dropping device mounting plate 12, respectively, allowing the cups and lids to fall. The key adjustment is achieved through the movable plate 14 and the adjustment mechanism: the movable plate 14 is set between the cup dropper mounting plate 11 and the upper cover plate 9, and the round hole 15 on it corresponds to the material drop port 13. The first adjustment screw 16 in the adjustment mechanism extends along the width direction of the upper cover plate 9, and the second adjustment screw 17 extends along the length direction of the upper cover plate 9. The two are installed on the top surface of the upper cover plate 9 through the threaded through hole on the support seat 20. The movable seats 18 at the ends are slidably connected to the guide rails 19 on the side walls of the movable plate 14 in the length and width directions, respectively. Rotating the first adjusting screw 16 or the second adjusting screw 17 can drive the movable seat 18 to slide along the guide rail 19, thereby driving the movable plate 14 to adjust its position in the width and length directions on the horizontal plane, so that the round hole 15 is precisely aligned with the discharge port of the cup dropper and the lid dropper; after the adjustment is completed, tighten the locking bolt 21 on the support seat 20 that is perpendicular to the screw, so that its bottom end is tightly against the outer wall of the screw, thereby positioning the screw and preventing the movable plate 14 from shifting, and finally solving the problem of inconvenient alignment caused by the fixed position of the round hole in the existing device.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
