Description

The invention belongs to the field of mechanical engineering of devices for filling, packing and packaging of beverages. In particular, the invention is a device for automatic contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable glasses with a drink in places of production and retail sale of coffee, tea and other similar drinks, including - at gas stations, in shops, supermarkets, airports, train stations, shopping and entertainment centers, in fitness centers, sports facilities, concert halls, theaters, cinemas, business centers, in places of street trade and in other places.

In the field of preparation and sale of hot drinks, there are a large number of well-known technical solutions and devices that are capable of producing a drink in an automatic or semi-automatic mode with high quality and speed and pouring it into dishes (including disposable ones) - that is, preparing a drink for the consumer. A certain percentage of consumers of such drinks want to close a disposable cup with a drink with a disposable lid for further consumption of this drink through the hole with the lid or through the tube. In such cases, the lid on a glass with a drink is put on "manually" by an employee of the establishment where the drink is sold, or the consumer does it himself.

The process of "manually" putting a lid on a glass with a drink is inconvenient, unhygienic and can cause accidental spillage of the drink, damage to the lid or glass, and even scalding the consumer with a spilled hot drink. Also, when manually putting the lid on the glass, it can be put on unevenly, and very often when manually putting on the lid, it cannot be put on completely. This is the cause of the drink leaking from the glass, or its spillage in general.

The world's most famous beverage manufacturers currently do not offer consumers any automatic and contactless devices for putting disposable lids on disposable glasses.

For example, well-known coffee machines produced by the company "U/ME Sgoyr str", such as "UUME 1100 5", "M/ME 1300 5", "UUME 1500 5 Siazvis", "M/ME 1500 5 zh", "MU/ME 5000 5 zh", "UUME 9000 5 t". Devices and structural units are installed in the composition of the mentioned devices, which contain a body in which separate sections for components and parts of the device are located, including a section for disposable cups, movable manipulators, a microprocessor a controller with a software set of commands and instructions, sensors, power elements and switching elements

The specified devices are high-quality devices with full automation of the coffee preparation process, but the designs of these devices are not designed to ensure automatic and contactless putting of lids on disposable paper or cardboard cups with coffee, while ensuring accurate and reliable closing of the lid to prevent the drink from spilling from the cup.

There are also known coffee machines, information about which is located on the website of the company "Evrge550-

Hey! Vezi Oyise SopPee Zegmisev5", such as "Bemoishiop Toisp", "EsseMPepla Tocsp", "Agota 5000", "Agota 5500". These coffee machines contain a body in which there are separate sections for the components and parts of the device, including a section for cups , moving manipulators, a microprocessor-controller with a software set of commands and instructions, sensors, power elements and switching elements (Esvrge550-Eis!, section - SottegsiaI-Sstade ONise Sopeye

Such coffee machines are high-quality devices for preparing and pouring coffee for consumers, but the designs of these coffee machines do not provide automatic and contactless application of lids on disposable paper or cardboard cups with coffee, while ensuring accurate and reliable closing of the lid to prevent the beverage from spilling from the cup.

Various designs of lids for disposable cups are known, for example - "A lid made with the possibility of reclosing the container, in particular a paper cup" (Patent of the Russian Federation (KU) for the invention Mo 2496698, IPC 8650 47/26, publ. 10/27/2013, bull. Mo 30 |ZI).

The mentioned invention relates to a cover which is made with the possibility of reclosing a container with liquid drinks (such as a paper cup and the like). The lid described in the patent can be manually opened and manually closed again after the user has consumed part of the drink. Accordingly, the mentioned design of the lid is used by consumers only manually and is not intended for automatic and contactless putting of lids on disposable paper or other cups with a drink. A "Disposable instant coffee cup" is known, which includes a body and a cup lid, where the cup lid and the bottom of the cup body are hermetically sealed. This coffee cup is made of recyclable plastic. The cup has such a hermetic design that allows sanitary conditions to be maintained inside the cup; and the sealing ring located in the holes of the cup can effectively seal the cup and prevent the leakage of hot liquid (PRC Patent (CM) utility model Mo 201641372,

IPC A47019 / 22, publ. 11/24/2010 |4Y). The cup and lid described in the patent are intended for manual closing/opening, but this design is not intended for automatic and contactless application of lids to disposable paper or other beverage cups. There are also various technological lines and devices that, on an industrial scale, carry out packaging and packaging operations (putting lids on containers/glasses) of liquid and pasty food products and beverages. For example, the well-known device "Automat "M2", which belongs to the packaging equipment for packing and packaging of liquid and paste-like products, such as sour cream, yogurt, milk, kefir, ryazhanka, condensed milk, ketchup, mayonnaise, jam, curd mass, creamy and vegetable oil, margarine, honey, mustard and other products of a similar consistency into a plastic cup with a welded aluminum lid (Automat M2 for packing in plastic cups, Production of packaging equipment INTA, section

Equipment for packaging in plastic cups, website ipia.ogd.sha: Access mode: per: /Lpa.ogud.cha/мМм2.пити; date of application: 19.09.2020 |51I). The "M2" machine can also be equipped with a unit for putting a lid on top of a cup/container. However, the specified design does not allow automatic and contactless putting of lids on disposable cups with a hot drink in places of production and sale of such drinks.

The closest thing to the proposed invention is the "Automatic machine for dispensing drinks with weight dosing of ingredients", which contains a housing in which there are separate sections for the components and details of the device, including a section for disposable cups, at least one movable manipulator with a motor for horizontal movement, a microprocessor - a controller with a software set of commands and instructions, sensors that have a connection with a microprocessor-controller, including a weight sensor that is located in the section for disposable cups, power elements and switching elements, while the microprocessor-controller is made with the ability to provide signals to other components of the device taking into account the signals received from the sensors and taking into account the signals and data from the software set of commands and

From the instructions (Patent of the Russian Federation (KU)) for the invention No. 2652548, IPC 670 1/00, publ. 26.04.2018, Bull. Mo 12

I6Й). The specified invention solves the problem of increasing the accuracy of dosing of drink ingredients in automatic mode, that is, the adequacy of the prepared drink to the request issued by the consumer, but this design does not allow for automatic and contactless putting on of lids on disposable glasses with a drink (including hot drink) with simultaneous provision precise and reliable closing of the lid to prevent the drink from spilling from the glass.

Thus, there is a problem of the lack of an assortment of devices, devices and devices for automatic contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable cups in the field of production and sale of hot drinks.

The technical task of the proposed invention is to create such a device that would allow automatic and contactless putting on of lids on disposable glasses with a drink (including a hot drink) while ensuring accurate and reliable closing of the lid to prevent spillage of the drink from the glass.

The task is solved by the fact that the device for automatic contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable cups contains a housing 1, in which there are separate sections for components and parts of the device, including a section 7 for disposable cups 8, at least one movable manipulator 12 with a horizontal movement motor 42 , a microprocessor-controller 46 with a software set of commands and instructions, sensors that have a connection with the microprocessor-controller 46, including a weight sensor 19, which is located in section 7 for disposable cups 8, power elements and switching elements, while the microprocessor-controller 46 is made with the ability to provide signals to other components of the device taking into account the signals received from the sensors and taking into account the signals and data from the software set of commands and instructions.

In addition, in the lower part of the section 7, a shelf 10 for a glass 8 is horizontally installed, while the shelf 10 contains a depression 11 for the bottom of the glass 8, and such a depression 11 is made and located in the shelf 10 coaxially with the cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12 , when the cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12 is in the position "above the glass 8". The weight sensor 19 is connected to the shelf 10 for the glass 8 and is configured in such a way that if there is no glass 8 on the shelf 10, if there is an empty glass 8 on the shelf 10, if there is a glass 8 on the shelf 10, which is filled with a drink more or less in advance set indicator of the weight of the drink, if there is a glass 8 on the shelf 10, which is filled with a drink within the pre-set indicator of the weight of the drink, the weight sensor 19 transmits signals to the microprocessor-controller 46.

For some specific conditions and cases of use of the design of the invention, the proposed 60 device for automatic non-contact application of disposable lids on disposable cups is characterized by the following features that develop and clarify the set of features of the independent claim.

In the region of section 6, the door 21 is connected to the side wall 5 of the housing 1 with the possibility of movement, and on the inner plane of the door 21, a vertical guide 22 for the cassette 13 of the lid 9 is installed, and inside the section b, at least two vertical guides 23, 24 for the cassette 13 are also installed vertically. cover 9, and each of the vertical guides 22, 23, 24 in cross-section has a segmental shape of "part of a circle".

The design of the device for automatic contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable glasses with a drink allows you to achieve the set technical task. The totality of all the essential features of the invention, including the new essential features of the device, make it possible to ensure the achievement of a technical result when using it.

In order to carry out operations on automatic and contactless putting on lids on disposable cups with a drink in the device, it is necessary to ensure: there is a place for installing a cup 8 with a drink;

From the presence of information that the glass 8 is present in the device and contains a certain amount of drink; the presence of a place for accumulating a certain number of covers 9 and the presence of such covers 9; the presence of information about a certain necessary position in section b of the "working" cover 9, which must be "captured" and transported to section 7 for putting on the cup 8; the possibility of "taking" one cover 9 and moving such a cover 9 from the place of concentration of covers 9 to the glass 8; the possibility to carefully (without deforming the lid 9 and the glass 8) carry out the operation of putting the lid 9 on the glass 8; availability of information that glass 8 is missing from the device (taken by the consumer); the ability to repeatedly (cyclically) carry out the operation of transporting and putting on the cover 9 on the glass 8; "close" the working areas of the device as much as possible in order to ensure sanitary standards and safety techniques for the operation of the device.

In order to provide space for the cup 8 and for the storage of the lids 9, the device contains two separate sections 6 and 7, where one of the sections is the section 6 for the cassette 13 of the lids 9 and the other section 7 is the section for the cup 8. Both sections 6 and 7 are connected in case 1, and also in case 1 are installed all the necessary elements and parts for the effective operation of the device. Thus, the device is an independent device that can be conveniently installed in any convenient place of its use. The design of the device and its body 1 allows you to make the "open" section 7 for glasses from the side (from the end) of the device (fig. 2-5, 7) or from its front part (fig. 6, 10). At the same time, in such cases, the side walls 4, 5 and the rear wall 52 of the housing 1 can be changed in their location. Such configurations of the device allow you to make it elongated "in width" or "in depth", depending on the future place of installation and operation.

Both sections b and 7 are located in the upper part of the housing 1, and in the lower part 2 there is a closed compartment for the microprocessor-controller 46, two motors 30, 35 and other electronic components and parts (Fig. 1).

A feature and a new feature of the invention is that the device is built in such a way that it contains exactly two independent sections 6 (for the lids 9) and 7 (for the cup 8) (Fig. 1-6).

Section b is intended for accumulation and transportation in the vertical plane (up/down) of several lids 9. In the lower part of section b, a flat manipulator stand 20 is horizontally located, on which the operator of the device horizontally stacks one on top of another lid 9 in the amount, for example, fifty covers 9. In this way, a cassette 13 of covers 9 is formed.

The design of the invention provides that the stand-manipulator 20 together with the cassette 13 with covers 9 are moving objects. The invention provides that the vertical mobility of the cassette 13 from the covers 9 is necessary to transport the upper cover 9 to a certain defined position in the upper part of the section b for the possibility of further "removal" of the cover 9 from a certain place in the section b to the section 7. "Mobility" of the cassette 13 from covers 9 is provided by the presence of the motor 30 and the toothed belt 28. The toothed belt 28 is connected to the manipulator stand 20, and also through the pulley the toothed belt 28 is connected to the motor 30, which has a connection with the microprocessor-controller 46 and is located in the closed compartment 14 of the lower part 2 of the housing 1. With the help of only one toothed belt 28, the stand-manipulator 20 together with the cassette 13 of the covers 9 cannot move evenly and stably (without oscillations) and stop at the required point. Therefore, the design of the invention contains vertical rigid rods 26, 27 in section 6, which are intended to direct the vertical movement of the manipulator stand 20. The vertical rods 26, 27 are connected to the manipulator stand 20 using and through the holes of the connecting element 29, which is part of the manipulator stand.

In order for the cassette 13 with covers 9 to reach the required position in section b, the engine 30 must be given a certain signal to start and stop its operation, and accordingly, to move or stop the stand-manipulators 20 together with the cassette 13 with covers 9. The corresponding signals to the engine 30 provided by the microprocessor-controller 46. In turn, the microprocessor-controller 46 receives information about the need to move/stop the cassette 13 from the sensor 31, which determines the position of the height 1 of the upper cover 9 in the cassette 13 - that is, the sensor 31 determines the distance from the upper cover 9 in the cassette 13 to the sensor 31. The invention provides that at least one sensor 31 is installed in section 6 on the inner plane of the upper wall of the housing 1, which has a connection with the microprocessor-controller 46. The sensor 31 determines exactly the distance from itself to the plane of the upper cover 9 in the cassette 13, and the sensor 31 provides indicators regarding this distance to the microprocessor-controller 46, which, in turn, thanks to the settings of the software set of commands and instruments uctions, provides signals to the engine 30 to move in one direction or another

From the side or about the stop. Engine 30 works together with its own driver (electronic board). Thus, the invention provides: the presence of a place for accumulating a certain number of lids 9, the presence of such lids 9, the presence of information about a certain necessary position in section 6 of the "working" lid 9, which must be "captured" and transported to section 7 for putting on the glass 8 , and the possibility of vertical transportation of the cover 9 up/down in the section 6 is also provided for the cover 9 to acquire a certain necessary position in the section b of this "working" cover 9. The inventive step of the design in this case is that regardless of the number of covers 9 in the cassette 13 , thanks to the sensor 31 and its communication with the microprocessor-controller 46, it is the microprocessor-controller 46 that always receives information about the distance between the sensor 31 and the upper cover 9, which allows the microprocessor-controller 46 to provide the necessary signals to the motor 30, and to form such movements and stops of the stand-manipulator 20 together with the cassette 13, which will ensure the necessary position of the upper cover 9 in section 6. The toothed belt 28 provides the most accurate possible transfer of movement/stop from the motor 30 to the stand-manipulator 20, which allows you to quite accurately "expose" the cassette 13 with the upper cover 9 in the required position.

In order to be able to "pick up" the cover 9 from section 6 and transport it to section 7 to the cup 8, a movable manipulator 12 with a horizontal movement motor 42 is installed in section 7, which ensures horizontal movement of the manipulator 12 in opposite directions (from section 7 to section 6 and vice versa). Also, the manipulator 12 is made and installed with the possibility of vertical movement in section 7. The vertical movement of the manipulator 12 is necessary: to set the manipulator 12 in a certain position at a certain height before starting the horizontal movement of the manipulator 12 from section b to section 7; to install the manipulator 12 with the captured cover 9 in the necessary certain position at a certain height to wait for the appearance of the glass 8 under the manipulator 12; to move the manipulator 12 with the captured cover 9 down and create pressure on the cup 8; to return the manipulator 12 upwards after putting the cover 9 on the cup 8. In order to solve this technical problem, the vertical rods 32, 33 for directing the vertical movement of the manipulator 12 and the vertical running screw 34 to ensure the vertical movement of the manipulator 12 are located in section 7, and these vertical rods 32, 33 and the vertical screw 34 are connected to the manipulator 12 through the movable carriage 37, and the vertical screw 34 is connected to the motor 35, which has communication with the microprocessor or controller 46 and is located in a closed compartment 14 of the lower part of the 2 housing 1. Engine

35 works together with the corresponding own driver (electronic board) and depending on the signals of the microprocessor-controller 46, which in turn works taking into account the indicators of the weight sensor 19 and data from the software set of commands and instructions, which will be mentioned later.

The manipulator 12 is made as a complex device for capturing the upper cover 9 from the cassette 13 in section 6 and transporting this cover 9 to section 7 for putting on the cup 8. Covers 9 for disposable cups have a round shape. Accordingly, the invention provides that the manipulator 12 contains a drop-shaped body 39, which is formed from a monolithically connected shoulder 40 and a round cup-shaped part 41, which is intended for capturing, holding and "releasing" the cover 9 (Fig. 11). The round cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12 has an original unusual design, which was developed, improved and created specifically for this invention. In the inner cavity of the cup-shaped part 41, along the entire diameter of the cup-shaped part 41, there is also a limiting ring 44, on the inner plane of which at least three flexible, plastic-elastic gripping fingers 45 are installed, which are directly intended for capturing, holding and "releasing" the cover 9 In the inner cavity of the cup-shaped part 41, there is also an inner cup 43 of a conical shape, which has a much smaller diameter than the diameters of the cup-shaped part 41 and the limiting ring 44. The inner cup 43 of a conical shape is located in the center of the inner cavity of the cup-shaped part 41. The "conicity" of the inner cup 43 is made in such a way that the outer edges 48 expand from the inner cavity of the cup-shaped part 41. In addition, the outer edges 48 of the inner cup 43 are located below the level of the outer edges 56 of the limiting ring 44 so that the height y3 of the walls of the inner cup 43 is greater than the height P4 walls of the limiting ring 44 (Fig. 13). The technical function of this design of the inner cup 43 is that at the time of putting the cover 9 on the cup 8, the main primary pressure (p) on the cover 9 occurs in the central part of the cover 9 precisely from several protruding edges 48 of the inner cup 43, which allows at the beginning putting the lid 9 on the glass 8, due to the primary pressure (p) in the center of the lid 9, slightly deform and "open" the edges of the lid 9, after which it (lid 9) is more easily and quickly put on the glass 8 (Fig. 13).

The manipulator 12 also contains a movable carriage 37, which is made in conjunction with a pressure lever 38 and is connected to the drive arm 50. And the manipulator 12 also contains a horizontal movement motor 42, which is installed on the movable carriage 37 in the area of the drive arm 50. Described above, the drop-shaped housing 39 is also connected to the drive arm 50 and to the horizontal movement motor 42, and the drive arm 50 is connected to the movable carriage 37. The horizontal movement motor 42 is in communication with the microprocessor-controller 46, and operates depending from the settings of the software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46.

In order that during the vertical movement of the manipulator 12, the top of the manipulator 12 stops in time and takes the necessary position before the horizontal movement into the section 6 behind the cover 9, on the inner plane of the upper wall of the housing 1 in the section 7, a limit switch 51 is installed, which has a connection with the microprocessor-controller 46. The limit switch 51 is activated by touching it with the manipulator 12, after which the microprocessor-controller 46 gives the motor 35 a signal to stop, and the manipulator 12 occupies the required position in the upper part of the section 7.

After the manipulator 12 touches the limit switch 51 in section 7 and after the manipulator 12 stops at the top of section 7, the microprocessor-controller 46 briefly (1-3 seconds) turns on the horizontal movement motor 42, which horizontally transports the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 into the section 7. At the moment when the manipulator 12 makes a horizontal movement from section 7 to section b "behind the cover 9", it (manipulator 12) must stop in a certain position - exactly above the cassette 13. For such a timely stop and to occupy the necessary position, the design of the invention provides the fact that in the upper part of section b, on vertical supports 54, an internal upper horizontal shelf 53 is installed (with a hole 55 for the upper cover 9 of the cassette 13), and on the upper plane of the internal upper horizontal shelf 53, a stop 18 for the movable manipulator 12 is installed. The round cup-shaped part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 during horizontal movement in section 6 is located exactly on the ditch not "above the upper horizontal shelf 53" and when the cup-shaped part 41 reaches the hole 55 of the horizontal shelf 53 and becomes "aligned" with this hole 55 (that is, when the cup-shaped part 41 is already above the hole 55), then the cup-shaped part 41 touches and rests against the stop 18 , which is installed in such a way that even if the motor 42 continues to push the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 in the horizontal direction, the stop 18 does not allow the round cup-shaped part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 60 to move further, and, accordingly, the cup-shaped part 41 occupies the necessary coaxial above hole 55 and is ready for "acceptance" of the upper cover 9 from the cassette 13. In addition, the stop 18 and the horizontal shelf 53 hold the round cup-shaped part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 in one position during movement and pressure from the bottom of the cassette 13 with covers 9.

The specified original design of the manipulator 12, the location and mutual connection of all the described elements and other details of the device allow: to carry out the transportation of the manipulator 12 to the top of section 7; then carry out horizontal transportation of manipulator 12 to section 6; then the stand-manipulator 20 in section 6 moves upwards and "gives" the upper cover 9 from the cassette 13 to the cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12; and then the manipulator 12 returns with the cover 9 (making a horizontal movement) to the section 7 and takes the position "above the glass 8" (while the glass 8 may already be installed in the section 7 or absent).

After the manipulator 12 with the cover 9 in section 7 takes the position "above the glass 8", the microprocessor-controller 46 (which controls the motors 30, 35, 42) needs to receive information and "understand" about the absence or presence of the glass 8 with drink in section 7. Based on this information, the microprocessor-controller 46 either commands the motor 35 to lower the manipulator 12 with the lid 9 onto the cup 8, or waits for the cup 8 to appear.

In addition, for the effective operation of the device (that is, for the effective automatic dressing of the cover 9 on the cup 8), there is a need to install each subsequent cup 8 in the section 7 in such a way that it (the cup 8) occupies the most accurate certain position in the section 7 for the possibility of formation coaxial with the cover 9, which is located in the cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12 above the glass 8.

To solve this part of the technical task (providing the cup 8 in the exact position in the section 7), the invention provides that in the lower part of the section 7 a shelf 10 for the cup 8 is installed horizontally (fig. 1-7). The shelf 10 contains a depression 11 for the bottom of the glass 8, and such a depression 11 (or a shallow hole, depression) is made and located in the shelf 10 coaxially with the cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12, when the cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12 is in the position "above the glass 8". Indentation 11 (or shallow hole, indentation) should have a round shape with a diameter slightly larger than the bottom of the glass

From 8. If there is a specified indentation 11 or hole, indentation in the shelf 10, the consumer will in any case forcibly install the glass 8 in this indentation/hole/indentation 11 in such a way that a co-axis will be formed between the glass 8 and the lid 9, which is located in the cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12 above the glass 8. In some cases of implementation of the invention, the shelf 10 can have a different configuration and shape, for example - planar or cone-shaped, or another.

To receive and process information about the absence or presence of a glass 8 with a drink in section 7, the device contains a weight sensor 19 (Fig. 1) (for example, a strain gauge sensor, but not limited to this). The weight sensor 19 can be installed under the shelf 10, connected to the shelf 10 for the glass 8 and configured in such a way that in the absence or presence of the glass 8 on the shelf 10, the weight sensor 19 transmits the corresponding signals to the microprocessor-controller 46.

In addition, the weight sensor 19 also sends appropriate signals to the microprocessor-controller 46 in the following cases: when there is a glass 8 on the shelf 10, which is filled with a drink that is less or more than a pre-set indicator of the weight of the drink; if there is a glass 8 on the shelf 10, which is filled with a drink within the pre-set indicator of the weight of the drink.

Thus, due to the presence and operation of the weight sensor 19 in section 7 of the device, it becomes possible to receive and transmit signals to the microprocessor-controller 46 about the presence/absence/fullness of the cup 8 on the shelf 10 in section 7. Accordingly, the microprocessor-controller 46, taking into account the received indicators from the weight sensor 19 and according to the settings of the software set of commands and instructions, sends or does not send signals to the engine 35 about the start of movement for putting on the cover 9.

In some cases of implementation and operation of the device, the function of determining the presence/absence/height of the glass 8 on the shelf 10 in section 7 can be performed by Zb sensors (optical, other), which can be installed on the inner plane of the side wall in section 7.

But in most cases of implementation of the invention, the use of the weight sensor 19 is more expedient, because the original and non-standard technical solution of the present invention is that the weight sensor 19, in addition to determining information about the presence/absence/fullness of the cup 8, because it also allows receiving and providing to the microprocessor-controller 46 signals and information about the force of pressure of the manipulator 12 on the lid 9 in the process of putting it on the glass 8. This allows the microprocessor-controller 46 to quickly regulate the operation of the motor 35 and thereby reduce or increase, or leave unchanged the force of pressure of the manipulator 12 on the lid 9 in the process of putting it on the cup 8. This relationship: weight sensor 19 - microprocessor-controller 46 - motor 35 - manipulator 12 - cover 9 - cup 8, allows to ensure a more reliable putting of the cover 9 on the cup 8 and at the same time exclude the possibility of damage (deformation, flattening) of the cover 9 and cup 8 from too much pressure from the side of the manipulator 12.

In addition, after putting the lid 9 on the cup 8, and after the consumer takes the cup 8 from the section 7, the weight sensor 19 is activated and provides a signal to the microprocessor-controller 46 about "the absence of the cup 8 after putting on the lid 9", which is for the microprocessor-controller 46 a new signal for the next loading of a new cover 9 into the manipulator 12.

One of the main structural elements of the device is the microprocessor-controller 46 and the software set of commands and instructions, which is loaded into the memory of the microprocessor-controller 46. It is clear that all the actions and movements of the parts and structural elements of the device for automatic contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable cups with the drink take place "under the guidance" of the microprocessor-controller 46. The software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46 can be programmed and reprogrammed depending on specific modifications of the main structural elements, such as - engines 30, 35, 42, sensors 31, 19, limit switch 51 and others.

In general, the invention provides that the microprocessor-controller 46 and the software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46 are made and work in such a way that: depending on the indicators of the sensor 31, the microprocessor-controller 46 determines the position of the height 1 of the upper cover 9 in the cassette 13, and with the help of the motor 30 and the toothed belt 28 directs the movement of the stand-manipulator 20 with the cassette 13 up/down until the acquisition of the upper cover 9 in section b of such a height pP5 that corresponds to the height PB of the manipulator 12 for the possibility of grabbing the upper cover 9 from the cassette 13 (fig. 6); depending on the indicators of the limit switch 51, the microprocessor-controller 46 determines the position of the manipulator 12 in the section 7 and with the help of the motor 35, the propeller 34 and the motor

From the horizontal movement 42 directs the movement of the manipulator 12 from the section 7 to the section b to capture the upper cover 9 from the cassette 13 and after capturing the upper cover 9 from the cassette 13, the microprocessor-controller 46 with the help of the horizontal movement motor 42 directs the movement of the manipulator 12 with the cover 9 from the section 6 in section 7; depending on the indicators of the weight sensor 19, the microprocessor-controller 46 determines the presence 35 of the glass 8 on the shelf 10, which is filled with a drink within the predetermined weight of the drink, and then the microprocessor-controller 46, with the help of the motor 35 and the propeller 34, directs the movement of the manipulator 12 with a lid 9 on the upper part of the glass 8; depending on the indicators of the weight sensor 19, the microprocessor-controller 46 with the help of the motor 35 and the running screw 34 regulates the force of pressure of the movable manipulator 12 on the lid 9 of the cup 8 in 40 of section 7.

A detailed description of the entire work of the design of the invention is described further in the corresponding section of the present invention, and in general, the algorithm of the sequence of actions and operations of the device can be described as follows. 1. After turning on the device, it is immediately prepared for work - i.e. 45, the positions of all moving parts, motors are zeroed: a) first, in section 6, the stand-manipulator 20 with cassette 13, cover 9 moves down/up with the help of the motor to a certain distance to the sensor 31, which is located above the cassette 13 covers; b) then the horizontal movement engine 42 presses (moves) the manipulator 12 to the moving carriage 37 (into the working position) in order to ensure that the manipulator 12 is not damaged during the vertical movements of the carriage 37; c) further, in section 7, the carriage 37 with the manipulator 12 moves up to the limit switch 51, and after the limit switch 51 has operated (sent a signal to the microprocessor-controller 46), the carriage 37 moves down a little and takes the working position for receiving the covers 9 from knuckles 13; d) then the motor 42 of the horizontal movement of the manipulator 12 moves the manipulator 12 in section b to the stop 18, which stops the movement of the manipulator 12 and places the cup-shaped part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 clearly coaxially above the cassette 13 of the covers 9; e) then the engine Z0 in section 6 lifts the stand-manipulator 20 with the cassette 13 cover 9 upwards and clamps the upper cover 9 of the cassette 13 into the cup-shaped part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12, where at least three flexible plastic-elastic gripping fingers 45 (which are located on the inner plane of the limiting ring 44) under the pressure of the stand-manipulator 20 capture the upper cover 9; then the motor 30 in section b lowers the stand-manipulator 20 with the cassette 13 of the covers 9 down, and one upper cover 9 remains in the cup-shaped part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 (this cover 9 is held by the gripper fingers 45); e) then the engine 42 of horizontal movement moves the manipulator 12 with the captured cover 9 into section 7; g) further in section 7, the motor 35 lowers the carriage 37 together with the manipulator 12 and the cover 9 down to a certain height above the glass 8 and stops. A sound/light signal is given that a cup 8 can be placed in section 7.

In this way, the device is ready to put on the cover and waits for the appearance of cup 8 of section 7.

Waiting continues for any time until glass 8 is placed in section 7 on shelf 10. 2. Work cycle: a) if in section 7 (on shelf 10) the consumer has placed glass 8 with a drink weighing, for example, from 100 to 500 g , then the weight sensor 19 sends the corresponding signal to the microprocessor-controller 46, and the microprocessor-controller 46 starts the motor 35 for the vertical movement of the carriage 37 with the manipulator 12 and with the cover 9. The manipulator 12 with the cover 9 starts moving down and creates pressure on the cover 9 until it is fully putting the cover 9 on the cup 8. The force of pressure of the manipulator 12 on the cup 8 can be limited due to the indicators from the weight sensor; b) putting the lid 9 on the cup 8 is done by: pressing the edges 48 of the inner conical cup 43 into the center of the lid 9, the general pressure of the cup-shaped part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 on the lid 9, "opening" the edges of the lid 9 and putting on the sides 47 of the lid 9 on the sidewall 49 of the cup 8, engagement of the edges 47 of the cover 9 with the sidewall 49 (edge) of the glass 8, the upward movement of the manipulator 12, opening and unhooking the flexible plastic-elastic gripping fingers 45 from the cover 9; c) after the cover 9 is completely put on the glass 8, the carriage 37 with the manipulator 12 will rise up to a certain height and a sound signal/light signal will sound for the consumer that it is possible to take the glass 8 covered with the cover 9 from the section 7;

From d) after the cup 8 was removed from section 7, the carriage 37 with the manipulator 12 moves up to the limit switch 51.

Next, points are repeated: c), d), e), f) from point 1 of the described algorithm.

Accordingly, the design of the invention makes it possible to repeatedly (cyclically) carry out the operation of "grabbing", transporting and putting the lid 9 on the cup 8.

The design of the device provides for the presence of a common body 1, which contains an upper part and a lower part 2, which in turn contains a closed compartment 14 for a microprocessor-controller 46, motors 30, 35 and electronic components and parts. The upper part of the case 1 contains the upper wall C and the side walls. Between sections b and 7 is a vertical partition 17. Accordingly, the invention provides that all working areas (except section 7, in which the glass 8 is placed) can be maximally "closed" by walls and partitions to ensure sanitary standards and safety techniques for the operation of the device.

Thus, due to the presence of all structural elements of the device, their mutual location, connections between parts, due to the settings of the sensors and the settings of the microprocessor-controller 46, due to the original design and places of installation and location of the stand-manipulator 20, the manipulator 12 and its drop-shaped body 39 with an inner cup of a conical shape 43, a limiting ring 44 and with gripping fingers 45, the effective operation of the device takes place and the achievement of the technical result is ensured - the automatic and contactless putting on of the lids 9 on the disposable glasses 8 with a drink (including with hot drink) while ensuring accurate and reliable closing of the lid 8 to prevent spillage of the drink from the glass 9.

The achievement of the technical result is also strengthened, diversified (it is improved by the following additional features and constructive elements that can be used in the invention.

In the region of section 6, a door 21 is attached to the side wall 5 of the housing 1 with the possibility of movement, and on the inner plane of the door 21, a vertical guide 22 for the cassette 13 of the lid 9 is installed. At the same time, at least two vertical guides 23, 24 for the cassette are also installed vertically inside the section b 13 covers 9. Each of the three vertical guides 22, 23, 24 in cross-section has a segmental shape of "part of a circle". This solution allows you to more accurately group a set of covers 9 in a cassette 13 and place them evenly on the manipulator stand 20, because each of the three vertical guides 22, 23, 24 "covers"

and "pushes" closer to the center of the cover 9 at the moment of stacking by the operator or already after stacking, at the moment of closing the door 21. Thus, the presence, configuration and location of the door 21 of the three vertical guides 22, 23, 24 make it possible to form a more accurate location of each subsequent upper cover 9 at the top of section 6.

The possibility of installing a vertical partition 17 inside the body 1 between sections 6 and 7 allows to ensure the separation of the open area of the cup 8 from the working area in section 6, which increases the safety of the device from the point of view of the impossibility of consumer intervention in section 6 with the cover cassette 13 and with the movable toothed belt 28 and manipulator stand 20.

In section 6 of housing 1, a lower horizontal shelf 15 is installed, and in section 7 of housing 1, a lower horizontal shelf 16 is installed. This solution allows you to conveniently install a manipulator stand 20 in section 6, and also conveniently install a shelf 10 for a glass 8 in section 7. in addition, in the lower horizontal shelf 15 of the section, a hole 25 can be made for the manipulator stand 20, which, according to its contour, can reproduce the contours of the manipulator stand 20 so that when loading a set of covers 9 into the cassette 13, the manipulator stand 20 could be on the same level as the horizontal shelf 15, which adds convenience when loading the covers 9.

Each of the motors 30, 35, 42 of the device contains a corresponding driver-electronic board, which has a connection and communication with the microprocessor-controller 46, which allows to effectively control the operation of the motors 30, 35, 42.

As already mentioned earlier, sensors 36 can be installed in the section 7 on the inner plane of the side wall of the housing 1 to determine the presence and height Пп2 of the cup 8 when it is located inside the section 7. This solution is convenient in cases where, for example, the microprocessor the controller 46 is configured to determine the presence of a glass 8 in the section not from the weight of the glass 8, but from its height.

The horizontal shelf 10 for the glass 8 can have a different forum and configuration, including it can be made conical or planar. This allows the device to be used in individual cases for different types of glasses 8 with different configurations and bottom diameters.

Thus, the set of essential features of the device for automatic non-contact fitting of disposable lids on disposable cups with a drink allows to achieve a technical result, namely, to ensure automatic and contactless fitting of lids on disposable cups with a drink (including hot drinks) with simultaneous ensuring accurate and reliable closing of the lid to prevent spillage of the drink from the glass.

Static description of the design of the invention.

The device for automatic non-contact application of disposable lids on disposable cups contains the following main components: body 1, which contains section b for lids 9, section 7 for cups 8 and section 14 for electronic elements (fig. 1 - fig. b), for the unit power supply, for the microprocessor-controller 46 and for two motors Z0, 35 (Fig. 1); in section 6, a cassette 13 (fig. 1-3, 6, 10) consisting of a plurality of covers 9, a stand-manipulator 20 (fig. 1-2, 6, 10, 12) for vertical movement of the cassette 13 consisting of several covers 9, elements for controlling and providing the movement of the manipulator stand 20 and the movement of the cassette 13 for the covers 9; in the lower part of the section 7, a shelf 10 for a glass 8 (fig. 1-7, 9, 10) is horizontally installed, while the shelf 10 contains a round depression 11 (or round hole) (fig. 5, 6, 10) for the bottom of the glass 8 The depression 11 (or round hole) is made and located in the shelf 10 coaxially with the manipulator 12, when the manipulator 12 is in the position "above the glass 8"; in section 7 there is a movable manipulator 12 (fig. 1-5, 8) with a horizontal movement motor 42 (fig. 1-3) for capturing the lid 9 from the cassette 13, for vertical and horizontal movement of one lid 9 and for putting it on the glass 8, elements of providing movement and controlling the manipulator 12, including limit switch 51 (Fig. 1); sensor 31 of the height of the cassette 13 in section b and weight sensor 19, which is located in section 7 for disposable cups 8 (Fig. 1); microprocessor-controller 46 (Fig. 1) with a software set of commands and instructions, which is made with the ability to provide signals to other components of the device taking into account the signals received from the sensors and taking into account the signals and data from the software set of commands and instructions; power elements and switching elements.

The body 1 contains the lower part 2, the upper wall 3, the side walls 4, 5, the back wall 52 (fig. 6, 7, 10). The inner cavity of the housing 1 contains section 6 for lids 9 and section 7 for cups 8, which can be separated from each other by a vertical partition 17 (fig. 1, 6, 10) (for safety and protection from external interference of device users). In the lower part of the 2nd building

From there is a compartment 14 for electronic elements, a microprocessor-controller 46 and motors 30, 35.

Section 6 contains the lower horizontal shelf 15 (fig. 1, 4, 6, 10). In the region of section b, the door 21 (fig. 3, 5, 7, 10) is attached (with the possibility of movement) to the side wall 5 of the body 1. On the inner plane of the door 21, a vertical guide 22 (Fig. 10) is installed for the cassette 13 of the cover 9, which in the cross section has a segmental shape - "parts of a circle". Inside the section 6, at least two similar vertical guides 23, 24 (Fig. 10) are also vertically installed for the cassette 13 of the cover 9, each of which in cross-section also has a segmental shape - "parts of a circle". When the door 21 is closed inside the section 6, the three vertical guides 22, 23, 24 together form a conventional cylindrical space around the cassette 13 of the covers 9, and thanks to these guides 22, 23, 24, the cassette 13 with the covers 9 during its own vertical movement up/down can move in such a way that the covers 9 do not "come out" during movement and do not fall out of the formed cylindrical space, which allows you to deliver the upper cover 9 in the cassette 13 to a certain necessary position in the upper part of the section 6 as accurately as possible.

Inside the section 6, there is a stand-manipulator 20, on which a set of covers 9 are installed, which form a cassette 13. The lower horizontal shelf 15 in some cases of implementation of the invention may contain a hole 25 (Fig. 4, 6, 10), which is designed to be inserted into it stand-manipulator 20 for "equalizing" the plane of the stand-manipulator 20 with the horizontal level of the lower horizontal shelf 15 for convenient installation on the stand-manipulator 20 of a set of covers 9.

Inside the section b are located: two vertical guide rods 26, 27 (for directing the vertical movement of the manipulator stand 20) (Fig. 1, 10), and a vertically installed toothed belt 28 (Fig. 1) for the manipulator stand 20, which is connected through a pulley with the motor 30, and which is designed to ensure the vertical movement up/down of the manipulator stand 20. The vertical rods 26, 27 are connected to the manipulator stand 20 by means of a connecting element 29 (Fig. 12), which is made monolithically connected to the manipulator stand 20. The connecting element 29 is part of the manipulator stand 20, and the connecting element 29 contains through holes for two guide vertical rods 26, 27. A vertically installed toothed belt 28 through a pulley with connected to the motor 30, which is located in the closed compartment 14 of the lower part of the housing 1 under the bo section 6. The toothed belt 28, the pulley and the motor 30 form a belt toothed transmission.

Accordingly, the toothed belt 28 is also connected to the manipulator stand 20.

In the upper part of the section 6 on the vertical supports 54 (fig. 2, 4, 5) an internal upper horizontal shelf 53 (fig. 1-6) is installed, which contains a round hole 55 (fig. 6) for the upper cover 9 of the cassette 13. On on the upper plane of the inner upper horizontal shelf 53, a stop 18 (fig. 1-3, 5, 6) for the movable manipulator 12 is installed.

At least one sensor 31 (Fig. 1) is installed in section 6 on the inner plane of the upper wall Z of the housing 1 to determine the height P1 (Fig. 1) from the upper cover 9 in the cassette 13 to the sensor 31. The sensor 31 has a connection with the microprocessor- controller 46.

Section 7 can contain a lower horizontal shelf 16 (fig. 1, 2, 4-7, 9, 10), on the plane of which or above the shelf 16 in the lower part of section 7, a shelf 10 for a glass 8 is horizontally installed. The shelf 10 for a glass 8 can be installed regardless of the presence of the lower horizontal shelf 16. The shelf 10 contains a round depression 11 (or hole) for the bottom of the glass 8.

The depression (or hole) 11 is made and located in the shelf 10 coaxially with the cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12 (which is described below), when the cup-shaped part 41 of the manipulator 12 is in the section 7 in the position "above the glass 8". In some cases of implementation of the invention, the horizontal shelf 10 for the glass 8 can be made planar (fig. b, 10) or cone-shaped (fig. 2-5, 7, 9), or of another shape.

Inside the section 7 are located: two guide vertical rods 32, 33 (fig. 1-3, 5, 9) for directing the vertical movement of the manipulator 12, and a vertical screw 34 (fig. 1-3, 5, 9), which is intended for ensuring vertical movement up/down of the manipulator 12.

The vertical propeller 34 is connected to the motor 35 (Fig. 1), which is located in the closed compartment 14 of the lower part of the housing 1 under section 7. The manipulator 12 is connected to the vertical rods 32, 33 and to the vertical propeller 34 through a movable carriage 37 (fig. 2-4, 6, 8). The vertical propeller 34 is connected to the motor 35, which has a connection with the microprocessor-controller 46 and is located in the closed compartment 14 of the lower part 2 of the housing 1.

On the inner plane of the upper wall Z of the housing 1 in the area of section 7, approximately above the pressure lever 38 (Fig. 2, 4-6, 8) of the manipulator 12, a limit switch 51 (Fig. 1) is installed, which has a connection with the microprocessor-controller 46 .

The weight sensor 19 (Fig. 1) is located in section 7 and can be installed from below the horizontal shelf 10. The weight sensor 19 is connected to the shelf 10 for the cup 8 and is configured in such a way that: when there is no cup 8 on the shelf 10 or when in the presence of an empty glass 8 on the shelf 10, or in the presence of an empty glass 8 on the shelf 10, which is filled with a drink less than or more than the predetermined weight of the drink, or which is filled with a drink within the predetermined weight of the drink, the weight sensor 19 transmits signals to the microprocessor-controller 46.

In some cases of implementation of the invention, sensors 36 (Fig. 1) can be installed in section 7 on the inner plane of the side wall of the housing 1 to determine the height of p2 (Fig. 1) and the presence of the cup 8 when it is located inside section 7.

Movable manipulator 12.

The movable manipulator 12 is stationary located in section 7 with the possibility of vertical movement up/down and with the possibility of horizontal movement in opposite directions. The manipulator 12 is a device for capturing the upper cover 9 from the cassette 13 in section 6 and for transporting this cover 9 to section 7 for the purpose of further putting the cover 9 on the cup 8.

The manipulator 12 is a complex structure, which is formed from several elements and parts.

The manipulator 12 contains: a drop-shaped body 39 (Fig. 4, 5, 8, 11), which is formed from a monolithically connected shoulder 40 and a round cup-shaped part 41 (Fig. 11, 13); the movable carriage 37, which is connected to the pressure lever 38 and connected to the drive arm 50 (Fig. 2, 6, 8.2); the horizontal movement engine 42, which is installed on the movable carriage 37 in the area of the drive arm 50 (the horizontal movement engine 42 is connected to the microprocessor-controller 46); the drop-shaped body 39 is connected to the drive arm 50 and to the horizontal motion motor 42; the drive arm 50 is connected to the movable carriage 37.

In the center of the inner cavity of the cup-shaped part 41 are located: the inner cup 43 of a conical shape (fig. 11.2, 13) (which directly exerts pressure on the cover 9 of the cup 8 during the operation of the device). Closer to the edges of the inner cavity of the cup-shaped part 41 along the entire diameter is the limiting ring 44 (Fig. 11.2). The outer edges 48 (Fig. 11.2, Fig. 13) of the inner cup 43 of the conical shape are located below the level of the outer edges 56 of the limiting ring 44. That is, the height of the walls of the inner cup 43 of the conical shape is greater than the height П4 of the walls of the limiting ring 44 (Fig. 13). Thus, the outer edges of the inner cup 43 of a conical shape slightly protrude beyond the general outer (lower) level of the cup-shaped part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12. On the inner plane of the limiting ring 44, at approximately the same distance from each other, at least three flexible, plastic-elastic gripping fingers 45. The number and shape of gripping fingers 45 can be different. The material from which the hooks and plastic gripper fingers 45 can be made can also be different, for example - silicone, but not limited to this.

As already mentioned, the manipulator 12 is connected to the vertical travel screw 34 and to the vertical rods 32, 33 through the movable carriage 37. The vertical travel screw 34 is connected to the motor 35, which provides the vertical movement of the manipulator 12 up/down.

Electronics.

In the lower part 2 of the housing 1, inside the compartment 14, a microprocessor-controller 46 is installed, on the basis of which the electronic system of the device for automatic contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable cups is built. The microprocessor-controller 46 and the electronic system contain a software set of commands and instructions, with the help of which (and with the help of the indicators of the sensor 31 (height of the cassette 13 with covers 9), the weight sensor 19 (for example - a strain gauge sensor, but not limited to this), in separate - in the case of the cup height sensor 36 8) the motors 30, 35, 42 are automatically controlled, and accordingly, control of the stand-manipulator 20, the vertical movement of the cassette 13 with several covers 9, the vertical and horizontal movement of the manipulator 12 and the cover 9, which is put on the cup 8. That is, the microprocessor-controller 46 and the software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46 are made in such a way that: depending on the indicators of the sensor 31, the microprocessor-controller 46 determines the position of the height 1 from the upper cover 9 in the cassette 13 to the sensor 31, and according with the help of the motor 30 and the toothed belt 28, it directs the movement of the stand-manipulator 20 with the cassette 13 up/down to the acquisition of the upper cover 9 in section b of such height P5, which corresponds to the height b of the manipulator 12 for the possibility of grabbing the upper cover 9 from the cassette 13 (fig. b);

Depending on the indicators of the weight sensor 19, the microprocessor-controller 46 determines the presence of a glass 8 on the plate 10, which is filled with a drink within the pre-set indicator of the weight of the drink, and with the help of the motor 35, the propeller 34 and the motor of horizontal movement 42 directs the movement of the manipulator 12 initially up/down inside the section 7 and then from the section 7 to the section 6 to grab the top cover 9 from the cassette 13, and after grabbing the top cover 9 from the cassette 13 directs the movement of the manipulator 12 with the cover 9 from the section 6 to the section 7 and then directs the movement manipulator 12 with cover 9 on the upper part of the glass (8); depending on the indicators of the weight sensor 19, the microprocessor-controller 46 with the help of the motor 35 and the running screw 34 regulates the force of pressure of the movable manipulator 12 on the cover 9 of the cup 8 in section 7.

From the inside of the compartment 14 to the manipulator 12, including to the motor 42, a loop of electrical wires is connected, through which there is interaction and signal transmission with the electronic system of the device and with the microprocessor-controller 46. Sensors 31 and 19, 36 are also connected by means of electrical wires by electronic system of the device and with the microprocessor-controller 46.

In the compartment 14 can also be located the gearbox of the motor 35 of the manipulator 12, the driver (electronic board) of the motor 35 of the manipulator 12, the driver (electronic board) of the motor 30 for the movement of the cassette 13, the covers 9, the power supply unit, the transformer and other parts and elements that are obvious and necessary for the effective operation of the proposed device for automatic contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable cups.

The design of the device may also contain elements and details of light and/or sound indication.

Operation of the device.

The device is designed to ensure automatic and contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable cups (paper or other) with a drink (including a hot drink) while ensuring accurate and reliable closing of the lid on the cup to prevent spillage of the drink from the cup.

After connecting the device to the power supply, the process of "zeroing the positions" and preparing the device for work takes place. First of all, the cassette 13 covers 9 automatically, under the "guidance" of the microprocessor-controller 46 (with the help of the stand - the manipulator 20, because the motor 30 and the toothed belt 28) moves down to the lower point in the section 6 (for example - to the switch button, or for a certain distance, which is calculated by the software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46). After stopping the stand-manipulator 20 and the cassette 13 at the lower point, they automatically, under the "guidance" of the microprocessor-controller 46, begin to move upwards until they stop at the upper point at a certain distance to the sensor 31 (this distance to the sensor 31 is calculated by a software set of commands and instructions microprocessor-controller 46). It should be noted that section b for covers 9 usually contains, for example, 50 covers 9, but the number of covers 9 may be different. A set of covers 9 is manually loaded into the section 6 by the operator of the device. A sensor 31 (optical, ultrasonic, other) is installed on the inner plane of the upper wall Z of the housing 1 in the zone of section b above the cassette 13 of the cover 9, which determines the position (number) of the covers 9 in the cassette 13, i.e. the sensor 31 determines the height P1 of the cassette 13 precisely relative to this sensor 31. Thus, the upper cover 9 of the cassette 13 must be at a certain height 5 inside the section 6. During the operation of the device, the sensor 31 of the position of the covers 9 sends a signal to the microprocessor-controller 46, after which the microprocessor-controller 46 uses a software set of commands and of instructions sends a signal to the motor 30 for the vertical movement of the cassette 13 covers 9, which, through a pulley with the help of a toothed belt 28 (that is, with the help of a belt toothed transmission), transmits mechanical movement to the stand-manipulator 20 of the cassette 13 covers 9, which in turn moves and directs cassette 13 with covers 9 down or up (depending on their final position) to a certain required height of the upper cover 9 in cassette 13. Level and directed vertical movement of the stand-manipulator 20 is provided by two guide vertical rods 26, 27, which are connected to the stand-manipulator 20 through the connecting element 29.

After the upper cover 9 of the cassette 13 reaches a certain required height P5, the sensor 31 of the position of the covers 9 again sends a signal to the microprocessor-controller 46, after which the microprocessor-controller 46 sends a "stop" signal to the motor 30 of the vertical movement of the cassette 13 using a software set of commands and instructions, and, accordingly, with the help of a vertically installed toothed belt 28 and a pulley (that is, with the help of a belt toothed transmission) and with the help of two guide vertical rods 26, 27, the manipulator stand 20 of the cassette 13 stops in a certain position with the location of the upper cover 9 at a certain height p5 inside section 6. Thus, in section b for lids 9, the cassette 13 with lids 9 is prepared for the possibility of "picking up" by another manipulator 12 from the cassette 13 the upper lid 9 and moving this lid 9 to section 7 for further putting on a disposable cup 8 with a drink .

Section 7 for glasses 8. On the shelf 10 for a glass 8, the consumer installs a disposable glass 8 with a drink in such a way that its bottom is inserted into a small round depression/hole 11 for the bottom of the glass 8. The weight sensor 19 is triggered by the weight of the glass 8 with a drink and provides a corresponding signal to the microprocessor-controller 46, which determines the presence of a glass 8 in the working area of section 7. At the same time, the microprocessor-controller 46 also (depending on the indicators of the weight sensor 19) determines not only the presence or absence of the amount of drink in the glass 8, but also the amount of the drink also. With the help of a software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46, the minimum and maximum value of the amount of drink in the glass 8 can be set in the device, that is, the weight of the glass 8 with the drink. For example, if the weight of a glass with a drink is less than 100 g. or more than UAH 500, the device will not perform the operation of putting the lid 9 on the glass 8, and will be in standby mode until the condition (certain weight of the glass 8 with a drink) is met. The limits of the weight of the glass 8 with a drink can be changed in the software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46.

In some cases of implementation of the invention, the height sensors of the cups 36, which can be located in section 7, "determine" the presence and height p2 of the installed cup 8. Then the microprocessor-controller 46, using a software set of commands and instructions, "takes/receives" from the sensor 36 as from the "reading device" a certain signal about the presence and about the height/size of the cup 8, and then again with the help of a software set of commands and instructions, the microprocessor-controller 46 sends a signal to the motor 35 to produce a vertical movement of the manipulator 12, which, with the help of a vertical propeller 34 and two guide vertical rods 32, 33, transmits mechanical movement to the manipulator 12.

At the beginning of the movements of the manipulator 12, the horizontal movement motor 42 automatically presses (moves) the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 to the movable carriage 37 (into the working position) in order to prevent damage to the constituent parts of the manipulator 12 during the vertical movements of the carriage 37.

Next, the manipulator 12 moves vertically (before "removing" the cover 9 from section b, because such movement occurs mainly upwards) until the moment of acquiring the necessary height pb, which corresponds to such a position of the manipulator 12, which allows it to make a horizontal movement from section 7 to section b for " removing" the cover 9 from the cassette 13. This happens in two small stages. In the first stage, the manipulator 12 moves vertically until the upper plane of the pressure lever 38 of the manipulator 12 comes into contact with the limit switch 51, which is installed on the inner plane of the upper wall C of the housing 1 in the area of section 7, and which is activated by contact with the manipulator 12, when he (manipulator 12) is in the uppermost position. After that, the limit switch 51 provides a signal to the microprocessor-controller 46 that the manipulator 12 has reached the maximum possible upper point in section 7, and the microprocessor-controller 46, using a software set of commands and instructions, sends a "stop" signal to the motor 35, and the microprocessor-controller 46 also provides a signal engine 35 to make a small movement of the manipulator 12 "down" and stop (second stage). The manipulator 12 acquires the required position at a certain height of NE in section 7.

Next, the microprocessor-controller 46 gives a signal to the horizontal movement motor 42 to turn off for a short period of time, for example, for 2-3 seconds, to carry out (through the movable carriage 37 and through the arm 40) the horizontal movement of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 from section 6 to section 7 After the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 enters section 6, it stops with the help of the stop 18, with which the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 comes into contact precisely in section b, while the motor 42 already stops its work. At this stage, the teardrop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 has taken the position "aligned above the upper cover 9" of the cassette 13 in section 6. Next, the microprocessor-controller 46 with the help of a software set of commands and instructions sends a signal to the engine 30, which starts to work and, with the help of the toothed belt 28 and the pulley (that is, with the help of a belt gear transmission) and with the help of two guide vertical rods 26, 27 forms an upward movement of the manipulator stand 20 and the cassette 13 until the upper cover 9 "enters" the limiting ring 44 of the inner cup 43 in the inner cavity of the cup-like part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39. Standard known designs of lids 9 (in most cases of their implementation) have a small "edge" 47 (Figs. 12, 13) around the diameter, which protrudes outward from the sides of the lid 9. Under the pressure of the stand-manipulator 20 and cassettes 13 (which gradually move upwards) the upper cover 9 with its own "sides" 47 bends the flexible gripper fingers 45 and

Zo enters the limiting ring 44 of the inner cup 43 in the inner cavity of the cup-like part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 in such a way that the edges of the "side" 47 are already behind the gripper fingers 45. Accordingly, the flexible gripper fingers 45, after bending the flexible gripper fingers 45 sides 47, and when these sides 47 fall "behind the grip fingers 45", the grip fingers 45 "return" to their original position and hold the cover 9 by the sides 47 within the limit ring 44 of the inner cup 43 in the inner cavity of the cup-like part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 Next, the microprocessor-controller 46 sends a signal to the engine 30, which starts to work and, with the help of a belt gear, creates a downward movement of the manipulator stand 20 and the cassette 13. One (upper) cover 9 remains in the inner cavity of the cup-shaped part 41 of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12.

Next, the microprocessor-controller 46, with the help of a software set of commands and instructions, sends a signal to the horizontal movement motor 42 (turns on the motor 42), which starts the reverse horizontal movement of the drop-shaped body 39 of the manipulator 12 with the "captured" cover 9 from section b to section 7 until the moment of ignition of the drop-shaped of the body 39 with the "captured" cover 9 acquire a coaxial and dedented position "over the cup 8" just before starting the downward movement to press the cover 9 and to put it on the cup 8. Then the motor 35 (in automatic mode, depending on the settings of the software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46) severally lowers the carriage 37 together with the manipulator 12 and the cover 9 to a certain height in the position "above the glass 8" and stops. If the glass 8 with a drink has not yet been installed in section 7, then a sound and/or light signal can be activated for consumers (in automatic mode, depending on the settings of the software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46) that it is possible to put a glass in the device 8 with a drink. It should be noted that the glass 8 with a drink can be installed in advance (before the movements of the manipulator 12) or after the manipulator 12 has grabbed the cover 9 and moved it to section 7. In the event that the glass 8 with a drink is not installed in section 7, then the device "waits" for any period of time until the consumer puts the glass 8 in the section 7 on the shelf 10, and until the weight sensor 19 (or in some cases sensors 36) is triggered.

If a glass 8 with a drink is placed on the shelf 10, its weight corresponds to the values set in advance in the software set of commands and instructions, for example, from 100 g. up to 500 gr., the weight sensor 19 transmits a signal to the microprocessor-controller 46, and then the microprocessor-

the controller 46 sends a signal to the motor 35, which forms a gradual vertical downward movement of the manipulator 12 with the "captured" cover 9. At the moment when the cover 9 touches the edges of the cup 8, the gradual downward movement of the manipulator 12 continues, and through the shoulder 40, through the upper plane of the cup-shaped part 41 and through the inner cup of the conical shape 43 of the drop-shaped body 39 on the upper plane of the lid 9 there is pressure (p) from above (Fig. 13).

At the same time, the lower edges 48 of the inner conical cup 43 press "circularly" into the central part of the upper plane of the lid 9 in such a way that the lid 9, already resting with its own edges on the edge of the walls of the glass 8, is preferably subjected to greater pressure (p) precisely in its own central part (under the influence of the lower edges 48 of the inner conical cup 43) and partial (but less) pressure on the edges, and such an uneven distribution of pressure on the upper plane of the cover 9 contributes to the fact that the cover 9 is slightly more deformed and bent in the center than at the edges . Due to such bending and deformation in the central part, the lid 9 "opens" its own edges, which facilitates its fairly easy and quick fitting on the upper edges of the glass 8. The upper edges of the glass 8 have a flange 49 (edge) along the entire diameter (Fig. 2, 7 , 9), and, accordingly, after putting the lid 9 on the glass and after the top pressure from the manipulator 12 on the lid 9 stops, it (lid 9) clings and is fixed by several "open" own edges to the flap 49 (rim) of the glass 8, and after the upper pressure of the manipulator 12 on the lid 9 is stopped, the deformation and bending of the lid 9 in the central part stops, and the edges of the lid 9 are even more rigidly fixed along the entire diameter behind the flange 49 (edge) of the cup 8.

It should be noted that with the help of the weight sensor 19 and its indicators at the moment of pressure of the manipulator 12 with the cover 9 on the cup 8, such a pressure force is controlled, and thanks to the signals and indicators from the weight sensor 19 about such a pressure force, the microprocessor-controller 46 (due to settings and settings of the software set of commands and instructions) "regulates" the pressure force of the manipulator 12 on the cup 8, and limits such pressure force as necessary. Such control and mutual work of the weight sensor 19, the microprocessor-controller 46, the motor 35 and the manipulator 12 ensure the most reliable fitting (closing) of the cover 9 on the cup 8, and at the same time exclude the possibility of damage to the cup 8 and the cover 9 from deformation and flattening.

After putting the cover 9 on the cup 8, the microprocessor-controller 46 sends a signal to the motor 35, which forms a gradual vertical upward movement of the manipulator 12 from the cup 8. Accordingly, the gripper fingers 45, which held the cover 9 by the sides 47 in the limiting ring 44 of the inner cup 43 of the drop-shaped body 39, under the action of the engine 35, due to its own plasticity, and due to the fact that the lid 9 is already rigidly fixed behind the flap 49 (edge) of the glass 8, the lid 9 is unzipped and "released" from the manipulator 12. The movable card 37 and the entire the manipulator 12 (under the action of the engine 35 and other parts) rises above the glass 8 in such a way and to such a height that the consumer has the opportunity to take the glass 8 with a drink and a closed lid 9 from the device. If the device contains a light and/or sound alarm, then after putting the cover 9 on the cup 8 and after lifting the manipulator 12 above the cup 8, such an alarm can notify the consumer about the possibility of taking the cup 8 with the cover 8 on from the section 7 of the device. Thus, the glass 8 with the drink is automatically closed with the lid 9 and is ready for use by the consumer.

After the glass 8 is taken by the consumer from the shelf 10, the weight sensor 19 is activated, and thanks to the settings of the software set of commands and instructions of the microprocessor-controller 46, the motor 35 lifts the moving carriage 37 and the entire manipulator 12 up to the limit switch 51.

Regardless of whether the next glass 8 is installed in the section 7 or not, the manipulator 12 (using the commands of the microprocessor-controller 46 and all other described details and elements) in advance "takes" the next new cover 9 and is ready to put it on the next glass 8.

Accordingly, in this position, the device is again ready to carry out the described operations and for further automatic contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable cups.

The proposed device for automatic non-contact application of disposable lids on disposable cups has been tested during its experimental and industrial production, as well as during its intended use.

The results of the tests showed that the design of the proposed invention allows, which during its operation, due to the combination of all essential features of the product, allows to achieve the specified technical result - to ensure automatic and contactless putting of lids on disposable glasses with a drink (including hot drinks) with the simultaneous provision of accurate and reliable closing of the lid to prevent spillage of the drink from the glass

An example of a specific industrial implementation of the proposed invention, its use is given above as a preferred example of implementation.

The proposed device for automatic contactless putting of disposable lids on disposable cups meets all the requirements of operation, application and generally accepted rules of safety and operation of similar products.
