[0019] In order to more fully understand the technical content of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further introduced and illustrated in conjunction with specific embodiments below.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1-4 The carton clamping device shown comprises a connecting plate 1, a clamping arm 21, and a rotating push rod 34. The clamping arm 21 and the rotating push rod are arranged on the connecting plate 1.

[0022] The clamping arm 21 is arranged at both sides of the bottom of the connecting plate 1. A clamping gasket 23 is arranged at the connection between the clamping arm 21 and the connecting plate 1, and a clamping plate 22 is also fixed at the end of the clamping arm 21, and the clamping plate 22 includes a first folded edge 221, a second folded edge 222, a third folded edge 223, and a fourth folded edge 224. The first folded edge 221 is fixed to the clamping arm 21, the second folded edge 222 is vertically connected to the first folded edge 221 and extends inwardly, the third folded edge 223 is vertically connected to the second folded edge 222 and extends downwardly, and the fourth folded edge 224 is vertically connected to the third folded edge 223 and extends inwardly.

[0023] The carton clamping device also includes a cylinder 31, a rack 32, a gear 33, and a bottom support ear plate 35 fixed on the connecting plate 1. The cylinder 31 is fixed on the connecting plate 1, and the top of the cylinder 31 is connected to the rack 32. The gear 33 is arranged on the top of the rack 32. The gear 33 can rotate with the movement of the rack 32. The bottom support ear plate 35 is provided with a through hole, and a connecting rod is arranged at the through hole. The gear 33 and the rotating top rod 34 are connected and rotated together through the connecting rod, and the bottom support ear plate 35 is arranged between the gear 33 and the rotating top rod 34, which can ensure the connection between the rotating top rod 34 and the connecting plate 1 and realize the lifting function. The rotating top rod 34 is provided with a fifth folding edge 341, a sixth folding edge 342, a seventh folding edge 343, and an eighth folding edge 344. The eighth folding edge 344 of the rotating top rod 34 can support the product flatly after the carton buckles the product to prevent the product from falling. The cylinder 31 is also provided with a speed regulating valve 36, which can be used to adjust the movement speed of the cylinder.

[0024] The carton clamping device also includes a box supporting assembly, which includes a box supporting frame 41 arranged on the top of the connecting plate 1 and a box supporting sheet 42 arranged on the bottom of the box supporting frame. The box supporting sheet 42 extends inwardly to keep the top of the carton open while the device clamps the carton.

[0025] The carton clamping device can be installed on a robot to perform product packing operations on an assembly line. When in use, the device clamps the carton downwards. The bottom of the carton has completed the carton sealing process, and only the top is kept open. During the downward movement of the device, the box support sheet 42 clamps the top opening of the carton. The clamping arm 21 moves inward to clamp the carton. If it is a large carton, the first folded edge 221 and the second folded edge 222 of the clamping plate 22 are used to clamp the carton together; if it is a small carton, the third folded edge 223 and the fourth folded edge 224 of the clamping plate 22 are used to clamp the carton together. After the clamping arm 21 clamps the carton, the robot moves and drives the device and the carton to flip 180° together. The carton opening is downward to hold the product on the production line. While holding the product, the cylinder 31 moves, and the rack 32 moves with the cylinder 31 and drives the gear 33 to rotate. The connecting rod rotates with the gear 33, and the rotating push rod 34 set on the connecting rod rotates accordingly and holds the product inward. The eighth folded edge 344 of the rotating push rod 34 just holds the product flatly to ensure that the product will not fall. After the rotating push rod 34 holds the product, the robot drives the device to flip 180° again to put the carton on the production line. After ensuring that the carton opening is facing upward, the clamping arm 21 is released, and the cylinder 31 and the rotating push rod 34 are reset, and the carton enters the next process of the production line.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] The difference between the carton clamping device of this embodiment and the carton clamping device of embodiment 1 is that the carton clamping device of this embodiment drives the clamping arm 21 to move inwards to clamp the carton by the clamping gasket 23 moving inwards during the carton clamping process, which can ensure that the carton side wall will not be deformed. The carton clamping device of embodiment 2 can well complete the product packing operation.

[0028] The above description is only used to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention by examples, so as to facilitate readers to understand more easily, but it does not mean that the implementation mode of the present invention is limited to this. Any technical extension or re-creation made according to the present invention is protected by the present invention.
