The ejecting means 140 is to attach to the beverage container 30 by detaching the packing straw 10 transported by the supply drum 150 to be described later, one part of the features of the present invention. The ejecting means 140 will be described in more detail later with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

The supply drum 150 is installed adjacent to the ejecting means 140. The supply drum 150 is for supplying up to the side of the beverage container 30 to which the packaging paper 10 in which the release paper 18 is peeled off is to be attached, and the packaging straw 10 is cut one by one on its surface. Cutting grooves 152 and the straw 12 to be able to be inserted is formed a plurality of straw grooves 154 that can be fixed to the outer peripheral surface, which can be seen in detail with reference to FIG. Regarding this supply drum 150, the publications mentioned in the prior art can be seen in more detail. The supply drum 150 of the present invention is temporarily stopped by the gearbox 202 (see FIG. 3), which will be described later. In this case, the cutting device 160 and the ejecting means 140 are driven. It is time to drive.

One side of the supply drum 150 is a cutting device 160 is installed. The cutting device 160 is for cutting the packing straw 10 from which the release paper 18 wound on the supply drum 150 is separated one by one. As shown in FIG. 3, the cutting device 160 cuts the packaging straw 10 accurately by allowing the blade 162 to linearly move. When the blade 162 of the cutting device 162 operates, the cutting device 160 operates. The supply drum 150 which transfers the straw 12 temporarily stops, and the blade 162 cuts the straw 12 one by one from the wrapping straw 10, and the straw 12 ) Is accurately positioned in the straw groove 154 of the feed drum 150. The cutting device 162 continues to operate even when the supply drum 150 stops driving.

Facing the supply drum 150, a screw 170 is installed. The screw 170 supports the sides of the beverage container 30 while forcibly transferring the beverage containers 30 that are conveyed onto the conveyor 110 at precise intervals so that the beverage container 30 does not fall when the straw is attached. This is to avoid.

On the conveyor 110 between the supply drum 150 and the screw 170, an auxiliary conveyor 180 for pressing the upper surface of the beverage container 30 moved along the conveyor 110 is installed. This is also to allow the beverage container 30 to be moved while maintaining the correct posture. Among the components described above, the ejecting means 140, the supply drum 150, the cutting device 160, the screw 170, and the auxiliary conveyor 180 are driven by the power of the same driving means 190. In this regard, with reference to Figures 3 and 4 will be described in detail.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the driving means of the straw attaching apparatus of FIG. 2, and FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the drive means 190 includes a motor 192. The motor 192 is for supplying power to the ejecting means 140, the supply drum 150, the cutting device 160, the screw 170 and the auxiliary conveyor 180 described above. The first shaft 194 is connected to the motor 192. The first bevel gear 196, the third bevel gear 198, and the fifth bevel gear 200 are provided on the first shaft 194. In addition, a gear box (Index) 202 for deceleration is provided between the third bevel gear 198 and the first bevel gear 196.

A first power transmission means 210 such as a timing belt is connected between the first pulley 206 and the second pulley 208 provided on the eccentric shaft 142 shown in FIG. 6. Each component driven by 196 is a first driving means for operating the ejecting means 140 for detaching the cut straw 12 from the supply drum 150 and attaching it to the beverage container 30. It can be seen that the ejecting means 140 operates separately from the third and fourth pulleys 212 and 214 which drive the drum 150 by the power output through the gearbox 202.

As shown, the third pulley 212 is connected to the gear box 202. The gearbox 202 decelerates the rotational speed of the first shaft 194 to supply only the angle between neighboring straws 12 when the second pulley 212 rotates once to operate the eject bar 144 described later. Allow the drum 150 to rotate. That is, the third and fourth pulleys 212 and 214, which are driving means for driving the supply drum 150, have a straw 12 from which the ejecting means 140 driven by the first bevel gear 196 is cut. When it comes out of the supply drum 150, it remains in a stopped state for a while. This allows the ejecting means 140 to be subjected to the correct attachment of the straw 12 to the container side.

A second power transmission means 216 such as a timing belt is connected between the third pulley 212 and the fourth pulley 214 for rotating the supply drum 150. Each component driven by the third pulley 212 is a second driving means for driving the supply drum 150.

A fourth bevel gear 218 is held in the third bevel gear 198, and a fifth pulley 220 is installed in the fourth bevel gear 218.

That is, when the crank 222 is rotated, the connecting rod 228 reciprocates the moving member 232 along the guide 230 to reciprocate the blade 162 in a straight line. Here, each component actuated by the third bevel gear 198 is third driving means for operating the cutting device 160. It can be seen that the cutting device 160 also operates separately from the third and fourth pulleys 212 and 214 which drive the drum 150 with the power output through the gearbox 202. That is, the third and fourth pulleys 212 and 214, which are driving means for driving the supply drum 150, are formed from the straw 12 in the straw 10 packed with the cutting device 160 driven by the third driving means. In the cutting, it is in a stopped state as in the driving of the ejecting means 140. This allows the cutting device 160 to perform the correct cutting of the straw 12.

The sixth bevel gear 234 is held in the fifth bevel gear 200 of the first shaft 194, and the sixth bevel gear 234 has a second shaft in a direction perpendicular to the first axis 194. 236 is connected. The seventh pulley 238 and the tenth pulley 240 are connected to the second shaft 236. An electric belt is connected to the fourth power transmission means 246 between the seventh pulley 238 and the eighth pulley 244 provided on the third shaft 242. The seventh bevel gear 248 is provided on the third shaft 242, and the eighth bevel gear 250 is held therein. The fourth shaft 252 is coupled to the eighth bevel gear 250. The fourth shaft 252 is provided with a ninth pulley 254 for rotating the screw 170, and is a fifth power transmission unit 256 between the ninth pulley 254 and the screw 170. The belt is installed. Each of the components for rotating the screw 170 through the fifth bevel gear 200 is the fourth driving means.

An electric belt, which is the sixth power transmission means 262, is connected between the tenth pulley 240 and the eleventh pulley 260 of the fifth shaft 258 and the twelfth pulley of the fifth shaft 258. 264 has a belt, which is a seventh power transmission means 266 for driving the auxiliary conveyor 180. Each of the components for driving the auxiliary conveyor 180 via the fifth bevel gear 200 and the tenth pulley 240 is the fifth driving means.

All of the above-mentioned first driving means to fifth driving means are driven at a speed determined by the motor 192, and a malfunction is not generated because a constant angular speed ratio is always maintained between each driving means. In addition, a light timing belt can be used as a power transmission means to keep the weight of the whole device light.

5 is a plan view showing the configuration of the ejecting means, Figure 6 is a front view of the ejecting means.

As can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, the ejecting means 140 has an eccentric shaft 142. The eccentric shaft 142 is vertically disposed as being rotated by the first driving means described above. The eject bar 144 is coupled to the eccentric shaft 142 through the bearing 146 of the shaft coupling portion 145.

At the rear end of the eject bar 144, the eject bar support shaft 146 is installed so that it can rotate in place. Eject bar support shaft 146 allows one end of eject bar 144 to engage and move in its longitudinal direction. The ejection part 144a at the other end of the eject bar 144 is cut one by one in the supply drum 150 while the other end is circularly moved by the eccentric shaft 142 and the other end is an elliptical motion as only linear motion is allowed. The separated packaging straw 10 serves to detach from the supply drum 150 and attach to the side of the beverage container 10 being transferred through the screw 170. This is part of the features of the present invention. That is, the packaging straw 10 is supplied to the supply drum 150 to release the release paper 18, while the packaging straw 10 coupled to the supply drum 150 is cut by the cutting device 160, The ejection part 144a of the eject bar 144 having an elliptic motion by the eccentric cam 142 is detached and attached to the side of the beverage container 30 which is transferred onto the conveyor 110. Of course, at this time, the screw 170 supports the side of the beverage container 30 and transfers the beverage container 30 at a predetermined interval, and the auxiliary conveyor 180 presses the upper surface of the beverage container 30 to drink Allow the container 30 to assume the correct posture. Of course, the ejecting means 140, the supply drum 150, the cutting device 160, the screw 170 and the auxiliary conveyor 180 is operated by the power of the same motor 192 to operate at the correct angular velocity ratio, so Each will work.
