Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of packaging, in particular to a packaging box turning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the modern packaging industry, the flipping operation of packaging boxes is an indispensable part of the automated assembly line. Especially in the process of product packaging, sorting, inspection and subsequent processing, it is often necessary to perform precise flipping of packaging boxes to meet the needs of different processes.

[0003] However, the packaging box flipping mechanisms currently used in the market generally have some technical defects and operational difficulties, which seriously affect the packaging efficiency and the stability of product quality.

[0004] First, the existing packaging box flipping mechanism has limitations in flipping angle control. Due to design complexity and technical bottlenecks, most flipping mechanisms often have difficulty in achieving accurate and adjustable flipping angle control, which makes it difficult to meet packaging requirements at specific angles during the flipping process, affecting the smooth connection of subsequent processes.

[0005] Secondly, the existing flipping mechanism has poor flipping stability during the conveying process. When the packaging box is flipped during the conveying process, due to the physical characteristics of the packaging box itself and the instantaneous nature of the flipping action, once the packaging box returns to the conveyor belt after the flipping, it will often flip again or flip unsteadily due to its own inertia, which not only greatly reduces the flipping effect, but also may cause the packaging box to be misplaced, damaged, and other problems, directly affecting product quality and production efficiency.

[0006] In addition, the existing flipping mechanism also has deficiencies in reliability and durability. Frequent flipping operations will cause rapid wear on the parts of the mechanism, especially on high-speed production lines. The durability and maintenance cycle of the flipping mechanism are particularly important. However, some flipping mechanisms on the market currently do not fully consider this point, and often have problems such as reduced flipping accuracy and flipping failure due to wear.

[0007] In summary, the current packaging box flipping mechanism still has many problems in terms of precise control of the flipping angle, flipping stability during transportation, and durability of the mechanism itself. It is urgent to improve the accuracy and stability of the flipping action and the reliability of the entire system through technological innovation and optimized design to meet the needs of modern, efficient, precise and stable packaging line operations.

[0008] For this purpose, we propose a packaging box flipping mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0010] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0021] The side walls of the two telescopic mechanisms are connected with a same connecting plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the mounting frame via a lead screw, so that the connecting plate can move on the mounting frame along the telescopic direction of the telescopic mechanism.

[0022] The mounting frame is also connected with a plurality of photoelectric sensors for detecting the position of the packaging box.

[0023] The position adjustment mechanism comprises:

[0024] A vertical drive mechanism, whose drive end is connected to the back plate and drives the back plate to move up and down; and

[0025] The horizontal driving mechanism comprises two transmission wheels and a conveyor belt connected to the transmission wheels, and the back plate is connected to the conveyor belt. The horizontal driving mechanism is also connected to a driving motor for driving one of the transmission wheels to rotate.

[0026] The position adjustment mechanism also includes a mounting plate, on which a vertical movable guide rail corresponding to the back plate is arranged.

[0027] It also includes a frame, on which the position adjustment mechanism is installed, and the frame is provided with a horizontal driving guide rail corresponding to the mounting plate.

[0028] The moving speed of the horizontal driving mechanism is infinitely close to the moving speed of the conveying mechanism.

[0044] The specific implementation of the present utility model is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Embodiment 1

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a packaging box flipping mechanism, which is intended to achieve accurate flipping of the packaging box while ensuring stability and efficiency during the flipping process.

[0046] The packaging box turning mechanism mainly includes a conveying mechanism 400 , a turning mechanism 100 and a position adjustment mechanism 200 .

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveying mechanism 400 in this embodiment is responsible for carrying a plurality of packaging boxes 500 and moving in a straight line. These packaging boxes 500 are distributed in parallel on the conveying mechanism 400 to ensure that they can pass through the turning mechanism 100 in a stable and orderly manner.

[0048] like Figure 3As shown, the flip mechanism 100 in this embodiment is located above the conveying path of the packaging box 500. It has the ability to grab at least one packaging box 500 at the same time and can flip the grabbed packaging box 500. The specific structure of the flip mechanism 100 includes a mounting frame 101, a rotating mechanism 103 and a touch rod 106. The mounting frame 101 is connected to the position adjustment mechanism 200 through a back plate 102 to ensure that the flip mechanism 100 can move with the movement of the position adjustment mechanism 200.

[0049] In this embodiment, there are multiple rotating mechanisms 103, which are connected to the back plate 102 and located on one side of the moving path of the packaging box 500. The touch rod 106 is telescopically connected to the mounting frame 101, and its telescopic direction is arranged opposite to the rotating mechanism 103, so as to clamp the packaging box 500. In addition, the end of the touch rod 106 can rotate axially, and cooperate with the rotating mechanism 103 to realize the flipping of the packaging box 500.

[0050] The main function of the position adjustment mechanism 200 in this embodiment is to control the vertical and horizontal movement of the flip mechanism 100. It includes a vertical drive mechanism 201 and a horizontal drive mechanism 202. The driving end of the vertical drive mechanism 201 is connected to the back plate 102, which can drive the back plate 102 and the flip mechanism 100 to move up and down. The horizontal drive mechanism 202 includes two transmission wheels and a conveyor belt connected to the transmission wheels, and the back plate 102 is connected to the conveyor belt. The horizontal drive mechanism 202 is also connected to a drive motor 2021, which can drive one of the transmission wheels to rotate, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the flip mechanism 100.

[0051] In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the movement of the flip mechanism 100, a mounting plate is also provided on the position adjustment mechanism 200, and a vertical moving guide rail 2011 corresponding to the back plate 102 is provided on the mounting plate. At the same time, the entire flip mechanism is also installed on the frame 300, and a horizontal driving guide rail 2022 corresponding to the mounting plate is provided on the frame 300.

[0052] In the specific working process, when the packaging box 500 moves to the bottom of the flipping mechanism 100 through the conveying mechanism 400, the position information of the packaging box 500 is obtained by the photoelectric sensor 107. At this time, the telescopic mechanism 104 contracts, driving the touch rod 106 to move in the direction of the rotating mechanism 103, thereby clamping the packaging box 500. Subsequently, the position adjustment mechanism 200 drives the flipping mechanism 100 to move upward to provide space for the rotation of the rotating mechanism 103. The rotating mechanism 103 rotates the packaging box 500. After the rotation is completed, the position adjustment mechanism 200 keeps moving horizontally at the same speed as the conveying mechanism 400, and also drives the flipping mechanism 100 to move downward. Through the re-action of the telescopic mechanism 104, the rotated packaging box 500 is placed on the moving conveying mechanism 400. In this way, the packaging box 500 is prevented from flipping on the conveying mechanism 400 due to inertia, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the flipping process. Embodiment 2

[0053] Based on the first embodiment, the present embodiment further optimizes and improves the turning mechanism 100 to improve the turning efficiency and accuracy.

[0054] Specifically, both sides of the mounting frame 101 in the flip mechanism 100 are connected to telescopic mechanisms 104. The driving ends of the two telescopic mechanisms 104 are commonly connected to a sliding plate 105, and the sliding plate 105 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 101. A plurality of touch rods 106 are installed on the sliding plate 105, so when the telescopic mechanism 104 is actuated, the sliding plate 105 and the touch rod 106 can be driven to move together to achieve clamping and releasing of the packaging box 500.

[0055] In order to achieve precise control of the telescopic mechanism 104 and the sliding plate 105, and to facilitate adaptive adjustment according to different sizes of packaging boxes 500, this embodiment also connects a common connecting plate 1041 to the side walls of the two telescopic mechanisms 104. The connecting plate 1041 is connected to the mounting frame 101 through a lead screw 1042, so that the connecting plate 1041 can move on the mounting frame 101 along the direction of telescopic mechanism 104. By adjusting the rotation angle and speed of the lead screw 1042, the moving distance and speed of the telescopic mechanism 104 and the sliding plate 105 can be precisely controlled, thereby ensuring accurate clamping and release of the packaging box 500.

[0056] In addition, in order to improve the automation and intelligence level of the turning mechanism 100 , a plurality of photoelectric sensors 107 for detecting the position of the packaging box 500 are further arranged on the mounting frame 101 in this embodiment.

[0057] The packaging box flipping mechanism achieves precise flipping of the packaging box during the conveying process through the coordinated work of the cleverly designed flipping mechanism, position adjustment mechanism and conveying mechanism, effectively improving the flipping efficiency and accuracy, while ensuring the stability and safety of the flipping process, providing strong support for the efficient operation of the automated production line.

[0058] It also has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] The design of the flipping mechanism enables the packaging box to be clamped and flipped at the same time during the conveying process, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of flipping. Through the cooperation of the touch rod and the rotating mechanism, the packaging box can be quickly clamped and flipped stably, effectively avoiding damage or dislocation of the packaging box during the flipping process.

[0060] The introduction of the position adjustment mechanism enables the flipping mechanism to move precisely in the vertical and horizontal directions. Through the coordinated work of the vertical drive mechanism and the horizontal drive mechanism, the flipping mechanism can be adjusted in real time according to the position and conveying speed of the packaging box, ensuring the stability and continuity of the flipping process.

[0061] The application of photoelectric sensors enables the flipping mechanism to obtain the position information of the packaging box in real time, providing strong support for the precise control of the flipping process. At the same time, the ingenious design of the telescopic mechanism and the connecting plate makes the movement of the touch rod more flexible and stable, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the flipping.

[0062] The packaging box flipping mechanism is also highly practical and versatile, and can adapt to the flipping needs of packaging boxes of different sizes and shapes. At the same time, it has a compact structure, simple operation, and is easy to maintain and maintain, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the automated production line.

[0063] In summary, through clever design and optimization, the packaging box flipping mechanism achieves accurate flipping of the packaging box during the conveying process, improves production efficiency and product quality, and makes a positive contribution to the development of automated production lines.
