1 is a front view of a horizontal circulation type cup feeder apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of a horizontal circulation type cup feeder apparatus according to the present invention.

It will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The horizontal circulation cup feeder device according to the present invention includes a frame 100, a chain 200, a transfer cup 300, a driving motor (not shown), and a discharge unit 400.

The frame 100 is a component constituting the body of the cup feeder device, and includes a horizontal portion 110 and an inclined portion 120.

The inclined portion 120 is connected to the horizontal portion 110 and is formed to be inclined at a predetermined angle. This is to allow the transfer cup 300 transferred along the upper portion of the inclined portion 120 to be discharged to the automatic packaging device disposed under the inclined portion 120.

The conventional front and rear circulation cup feeder device has low filling efficiency due to the transfer of the transfer cup 300 in one row, and the work space is inconvenient because the operator must approach and perform the work in one row.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the horizontal circulation type was adopted to increase the filling efficiency and the work space was also expanded.

As the transfer cup 300 circulates in the horizontal direction while drawing an elliptical trajectory, the transfer cup 300 circulates in two rows, so that not only can the filling efficiency be increased, but also the work space accessible to the operator is expanded.

The chain 200 is a configuration for transferring the transfer cup 300, and circulates in the horizontal direction while surrounding the outside of the frame 100.

The transfer cup 300 is coupled to the outer surface of the chain 200 so as to be spaced apart at predetermined intervals to move together with the chain 200. The inside of the transfer cup 300 is filled with a filling material.

The drive motor is provided on one side of the frame 100 to provide power to the chain 200.

The discharge unit 400 is configured to discharge the filling material filled in the transfer cup 300 to the outside.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the discharge unit 400 according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a side view of the discharge unit 400 according to the present invention, Figure 5 is an exploded view of the discharge unit 400 according to the present invention, Figure 6 Is a front view of the discharge unit 400 according to the present invention, Figure 7 is a view for explaining the operating principle of the discharge rod 600 and compression rod 700 according to the present invention.

This will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.

In the conventional front and rear circulation cup feeder device, a transfer cup 300 is mounted on an upper surface of the chain 200 and rails for guiding the transfer cup 300 from both sides are formed. Since the size and shape of the transfer cup 300 is limited due to the guide rail, there is a limitation that only the transfer cup 300 having the size and shape considered at the time of initial production should be used.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the transfer cup 300 of various sizes and shapes can be used.

The coupling unit 410 according to the present invention is configured to couple the transfer cup 300 to the chain 200.

The chain 200 is surrounded along the outer surface of the frame 100 in the longitudinal direction, and the width direction is disposed in a vertical direction.

One side of the coupling unit 410 is coupled to the outer surface of the chain 200 and the other side is coupled to the outer surface of the transfer cup 300.

In the present invention, since only one side of the transfer cup 300 is moved in a state mounted on the outer side of the chain 200, it is not interfered with by structures such as a conventional guide rail. As a result, there is an advantage that the transfer cup 300 of various sizes and shapes can be used.

The discharge unit 400 according to the present invention includes an opening bar 500, a first cylinder 510, an open door 420, a bottom plate 430, and a spring 440.

The conventional reversing transfer cup 300 is provided with a bottom plate 430 and an open transfer cup 300 in the present invention, since the fillings attached therein cannot be discharged when the filling is discharged.

The open bar 500 is a component that rotates the open door 420, and rotates the open door 420 in one direction by pushing the upper end of the open door 420 while descending in the vertical direction.

The first cylinder 510 is configured to transmit power so that the opening rod 500 moves linearly and reciprocally in the vertical direction.

The open door 420 is configured to transmit a rotational force to the base plate 430 of the transfer cup 300 by receiving the linear reciprocating motion of the open bar 500.

A pair of open doors 420 is disposed under the open bar 500.

In addition, the open door 420 has a rotation shaft 421 protruding from the plate material in the thickness direction, and the rotation shaft 421 is rotatably coupled to the coupling unit 410.

Both ends of the spring 440 are coupled to one side of a pair of open doors 420.

The spring 440 serves to return the open door 420 in the reverse direction when the open bar 500 is raised.

The base plate 430 is configured to selectively seal or open the lower portion of the transfer cup 300.

The base plate 430 is formed of a b-shaped plate and includes a horizontal portion 433 and a vertical portion 432.

At one side of the vertical part 432 of the base plate 430, teeth 431 of the gear are formed.

6(a) shows a state in which the lower part of the transfer cup 300 is closed by the base plate 430 and the filling material is filled, and FIG. 6(b) shows the base plate 430 under the transfer cup 300 is opened. It shows the state in which the filling is discharged.

As the opening rod 500 descends by the first cylinder 510, the upper end of the open door 420 is pushed out. At this time, the pair of open doors 420 rotate in opposite directions.

The base plate 430 is coupled with the open door 420 and rotates together in conjunction with the rotation of the open door 420. That is, the base plate 430 blocks the lower portion of the transfer cup 300 when filling the filling material and opens it when the filling material is discharged.

When the vertical portion 432 of the base plate 430 rotates, the teeth 431 of the vertical portion 432 are engaged with the opposed teeth 431 so that the two base plates 430 rotate in opposite directions.

As the period of use elapses, the open bar 500 or the open door 420 may deviate from its design position. For this reason, even when the open bar 500 rotates only one open door 420, the pair of bottom plates 430 are to be rotated together due to the teeth 431 formed on the vertical portion 432 of the base plate 430 to be.

The conventional front and rear switchable cup feeder device has a problem in that it is not possible to remove the filling material attached to the inner surface of the transfer cup 300.

Accordingly, in the present invention, this problem is solved by providing a discharge rod 600.

The discharge rod 600 is configured to discharge the filling material inside the transfer cup 300 to the outside, and is disposed above the transfer cup 300 to perform linear reciprocating motion.

The second cylinder 610 is configured to transmit power to the discharge rod 600.

7(a) is a view showing a state before the discharge rod 600 and the compression rod 700 come down, and FIG. 7(b) shows the filling material after the discharge rod 600 and the compression rod 700 come down. It is a diagram showing the discharged state.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the present invention, in the state where the base plate 430 is opened, the discharge rod 600 pushes the filling material attached to the inner surface of the transfer cup 300 to the lower portion of the transfer cup 300 to be discharged. By doing so, it was possible to accurately transfer the filling material.

In the case of a bulky filling, it was not smooth because it was spread inside the transfer cup 300.

Accordingly, in the present invention, a compression rod 700 for compressing the filling material to the lower portion of the transfer cup 300 is provided before discharging the filling material.

The compression rod 700 is disposed to be spaced apart by a predetermined distance to the rear of the discharge unit 400.

The compression rod 700 performs a linear reciprocating motion together with the discharge rod 600 and compresses the filling material filled in the transfer cup 300.

In this way, the compression rod 700 serves to facilitate the discharge of the filling material by compacting the filling material filled in the transfer cup 300 to move to the lower portion of the transfer cup 300.

The present invention relates to a horizontal circulating cup feeder device, in which the bottom plate 430 of the filling cup is opened and the discharge rod 600 is linearly reciprocated so as to penetrate the inside of the transfer cup so that the filling is discharged from the transfer cup without leaving behind. On the other hand, the transfer cup is circulated in the horizontal direction to improve the efficiency of supplying the filling, and the transfer cups of various sizes and shapes are used by moving with one side of the transfer cup mounted on the side of the chain circulating in the horizontal direction. There is an effect made possible.

In the above, preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and is generally used in the technical field to which the present invention belongs without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims. Of course, various modifications may be implemented by those skilled in the art, and these modified embodiments should not be individually understood from the technical spirit or prospect of the present invention.
