Description

Cup lid automatic lid closing device

This creation is related to an assembly structure, especially an automatic lid closure device that can be moved by vacuum suction.

Press, in the conventional beverage brewing vending machine, after the beverage is brewed, there will be a cup lid on the lid, and the lid will be installed on the container that holds the drink, so that the user can get it. It can maintain the integrity of the drink and avoid tipping over. A conventional cup lid lid closing device includes a cup lid clamping portion and a container top support portion, the cup lid clamping portion includes a motor and a clamping jaw; the container top support portion includes a base and A driving part; the motor will drive the clamping jaw to rotate a predetermined angle to clamp the cup lid and rotate to the lid cup position; and the base will be provided with a container above the base, and through the driving part the base will be clamped Push in the direction of the claw, so that the cup cover can be covered on the container.

However, in the conventional cup lid closing device, the clamping jaws can only produce a clamping action and cannot press forcefully, so that the force between the base and the clamping jaws is insufficient, and the cup lid cannot be pressed completely, or Poor alignment results in failure to press, and during the clamping process, the clamping jaws use the side to clamp the action, the clamping force is unstable, it may clamp several cup lids at a time, or it may not be clamped The cup lid, and the action of covering the cup; the result of the lid closing effect is not good. In addition, the clamping jaw is driven by the motor, so the moving position is fixed, and there is no way to adjust it. Use, the cup and the lid The placement position is relatively restricted.

This creative department provides an automatic lid closure device, including: A cover-retaining frame with an accommodating space provided inside the cover-retaining frame, a pushing part is arranged in the cover-retaining frame, and the pushing part can move up and down in the cover-retaining frame; A pedestal A cup lid moving unit; it includes a pressing arm, a vacuum suction cup and a moving part; the front end of the pressing arm is provided with a pressing block which can be moved back and forth on the moving part; the vacuum suction cup is arranged on the pressing block At the bottom, the moving part can drive the pressing arm to move between the accommodating space and the base.

The cup lid automatic lid closing device provided by this creation can suck the lid under negative pressure from the lid holder through the vacuum sucker of the lid moving unit, and only a single lid is sucked each time, and, The pressing arm can be moved to the position of the base through the moving part, and then the pressing block is driven by the pressing arm to press the cup cover and the cup set on the base to ensure that the cover can be closed. Achieve a predetermined degree of tightness.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, this creation provides a preferred embodiment of an automatic lid closure device, which includes:

A cover frame 10 is provided with an accommodating space 11 inside. The accommodating space 11 is provided with a pushing part 12, a positioning sensor 13 and a limit sensor 14; the pushing part 12 can be placed in the accommodating space 11 The cover frame 10 moves up and down, the positioning sensor 13 can sense whether the item in the accommodating space 11 has reached the positioning, and the limit sensor 14 can sense the position of the pushing portion 12, when the pushing When the portion 12 is sensed by the limit sensor 14, it indicates that the items in the accommodating space 11 need to be supplemented;

A base 20, which is spaced apart from the cover frame 10, and can contain a cup 70 for containing beverages therein. The base 20 can be a feeding structure such as a rotating disk or a belt, and is not limited;

A cup lid moving unit 3; it includes a pressing arm 30, a vacuum chuck 40 and a moving part 50; the front end of the pressing arm 30 is provided with a pressing block 31, and the circumference of the bottom of the pressing block 31 is provided with a pressing rib 311 , The vacuum chuck 40 is arranged in the center of the pressure rib 311 of the pressure block 31, and the height of the pressure rib 311 is higher than the vacuum chuck 40; the side of the pressure arm 30 is provided with a rack 32, the rack 32 It is driven by a driving motor 33. The upper shaft of the driving motor 33 is provided with a gear 331 to mesh with the rack 32, and the driving motor 33 is provided with a PWM controller 332, which can control the pulse width of the driving motor 33 , And can control the force applied by the driving motor 33; the moving part 50 is a crawler belt 51, the crawler belt 51 is provided with a sliding seat 52, the pressing arm 30 and the driving motor 33 are arranged on the sliding seat 52 , So that the moving part 50 is driven by the crawler 51 for reciprocating movement, and a position sensor 53 is provided on the moving part 50, which can sense the position of the pressure arm 30 and can drive the pressure arm 30 moves between the cover frame 10 and the base 20.

Please refer to FIGS. 3 and 4, the accommodating space 11 of the cover holder 10 can accommodate several cup lids 60, and the accommodating space 11 is approximately the same size as the cup lids 60, so the cup lid 60 After being inserted, the position will be fixed; then, when a cup 70 filled with beverage is placed on the base 20; the pushing part 12 in the lid holder 10 will push the built-in cup lids 60 upward, After the positioning sensor 13 senses the cup lid 60, the pushing part 12 stops the pushing of the cup lid 60, which also means that the cup lid 60 has been pushed to the position; if the limit sensor 14 senses The pushing part 12 indicates that the cup lid 60 in the accommodating space 11 is insufficient, and a notification is generated to supplement the cup lid 60; when the cup lids 60 are pushed to the position, the cup lid moving unit The moving part 50 of 3 drives the crawler 51 to drive the sliding seat 52, so that the pressing arm 30 can move above the accommodating space 11 of the cover frame 10, and the pressure can be sensed through the position sensor 53 The position of the arm 30; when the position is reached, the pressing arm 30 can be driven by the driving motor 33 to drive the gear 331, so that the rack 32 can move downward, so that the pressing block 31 at the front end of the pressing arm 30 can approach the cups The top position of the lid 60 is facing the topmost cup lid, and then the vacuum suction cup 40 is made to generate a negative pressure suction force to suck the topmost cup lid 60, after the suction is completed. The driving motor 33 will drive the pressing arm 30 out of the accommodating space 11; then, the crawler 51 of the moving part 50 will drive the sliding seat 52 to move to the position of the base 20, so that the vacuum on the pressing arm 30 The suction cup 40 can absorb a single cup cover 60 to move to the base 20; when the position sensor 53 senses that the position of the pressing arm 30 has reached the base 20, the driving motor 33 will drive the gear 331 to The position of the cup 70 of the base 20 is close. When the pressing block 31 approaches the cup 70, the vacuum suction cup 40 stops generating negative pressure, so that the cup cover 60 can be closed on the cup 70. Then, the driving motor 33 will continue to drive the gear 331 to press the pressure block 31 toward the cup 70, because the pressure rib 311 is higher than the vacuum suction cup 40, so that the pressure rib 311 on the pressure block 31 can press against the cup. Cover 60, and apply force to the cup 70, so that the cup cover 60 can be pressed tightly on the cup 70 to complete a closing action.

The cup lid automatic lid closing device provided by this creation can accurately absorb a single cup lid through the negative pressure suction of the vacuum suction cup 40, avoiding waste caused by clamping too many lids at a time. Through the pressure rib of the pressure block, a force can be applied to ensure that the cup lid can be firmly combined with the cup.

The above-disclosed examples only illustrate the technical means of this creation and not limit it. Any equivalent modification made by this creation should be regarded as the protection scope of this creation. The ice-making device of this creation is the first structure in this field, and has the enhancement of practical effects, and an application is submitted in accordance with the law.
