Automatic tableware separation module

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an automatic tableware separation module that sequentially separates the lowest tableware from a stack using horizontal rotational motion of a separation component, wherein the separation component comprises: a cylindrical body with a central rotation shaft, multiple screw holes spaced apart along its upper surface, and an extended protruding separation blade that facilitates the sequential separation of the lowest tableware; a width adjustment blade that is screw-attached to the upper surface of the cylindrical body and can be rotated to adjust the separation width by repositioning the screw holes; and a guiding blade that is spirally formed along the outer surface of the cylindrical body to guide the separated tableware downward. The automatic tableware separation module of the present disclosure allows smooth and efficient separation of individual tableware from a stack without the need to replace separation components, accommodating tableware of various thicknesses with ease.
