DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention; in the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" and "several" is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0034] See also Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a rotary box erector that can be flipped in multiple directions, including a supporting base frame 1, a rotating mechanism 3, a rotating frame 2, a flipping mechanism 5, a turning frame 4, and a clamping mechanism 8. The rotating frame 2 is arranged above the supporting base frame 1, and the supporting base frame 1 is connected to the rotating frame 2 through the rotating mechanism 3. The flipping mechanism 5 is arranged on one side of the rotating frame 2, and the rotating frame 2 is connected to the turning frame 4 through the flipping mechanism 5. The clamping mechanism 8 is arranged on the turning frame 4 and is locked and connected to the box body 7 through the clamping mechanism 8.

[0035] After the box 7 is turned over and reset, the turning frame 4 is driven by the turning mechanism 3 to rotate to the corresponding diversion production line channel side, and the turning frame 4 is driven by the turning mechanism 5 to rotate away from the turntable 2 to facilitate the box 7 to stand upright on the corresponding diversion production line channel side. At this time, the locking connection of the clamping mechanism 8 to the box 7 can be released, thereby facilitating the continuous clamping, turning and rotation operations of the box 7, so that the box 7 can be quickly diverted to the corresponding set production line channel for the next step, which is fully automated and does not require manual assistance. The rotary box erector equipment of the present application is convenient for integrating the clamping, turning and rotation of the box 7 into one device, and the rotary turning angle can be set according to production needs to realize multi-station action, save space and reduce investment.

[0036] In this specific embodiment, combined with Figure 8As shown, conveyor line 11 and conveyor line 2 12 are set to be diverted at 90 degrees. Conveyor line 11 and conveyor line 2 12 are both driven by rollers that are evenly distributed to drive the box body 7 for transfer. Conveyor line 11 transfers the box body 7 to the rotary box erector position of the present application, so that the box body 7 can be locked on the support plate 6 on the flip frame 4 through the clamping mechanism 8, and then the flip frame 4 is driven to reset through the flip mechanism 5. After resetting, the rotary frame 2 is driven to move through the rotary mechanism 3 to divert the box body 7 to the corresponding position of conveyor line 2 12, and then the box body 7 is turned over and the clamping mechanism 8 is released, so that the upright box body 7 is diverted to the conveyor line 2 12 for transfer. The operation is convenient, the operation is coherent, and the degree of automation is high. There is no need for manual assistance to straighten the box body 7, which helps to improve the erection processing operation effect of the refrigerator box 7.

[0037] The process of rotating and diverting the box 7 from one conveyor line to another conveyor line will be described in detail below.

[0038] During the rotation and diversion process, the rotation angle range of the rotary frame 2 along the supporting base frame 1 is 0-360°, which is convenient for setting the feeding direction and the discharging direction of the conveyor line along the rotation angle range of 0-360°, and has a wide operating range.

[0039] In this specific embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotary mechanism 3 includes a rotary motor 30 and a reducer 31. The rotary motor 30 is installed on the reducer 31, and the reducer 31 is fixedly installed on the support base 1. The output shaft end of the reducer 31 is sleeved with a small gear 32, and the small gear 32 is meshed and connected to the large gear 33. The upper circumferential end surface of the large gear 33 is fixedly connected to the rotary frame 2, and the inner circumferential surface of the large gear 33 is rotatably connected to the sizing ring 34. The lower circumferential end surface of the sizing ring 34 is fixedly connected to the support base 1, and the rotary frame 2 rotates along the support base 1. During the operation within the 0-360° angle range, by starting the rotary motor 30, the reducer 31 reduces the output speed of the rotary motor 30, and the reducer 31 drives the small gear 32 with reduced speed to rotate, and the small gear 32 engages and transmits the large gear 33 to rotate. The large gear 33 is arranged between the supporting base 1 and the rotary frame 2, which is convenient for driving the large gear 33 to rotate stably along the sizing ring 34, so as to drive the rotary frame 2 to rotate 0-360° along the supporting base 1. The operation is convenient, and the rotation is stable and reliable.

[0040] The operation of turning and erecting the box body 7 during the rotation and diversion process will be described in detail below.

[0041] During the flipping and erecting operation of the box body 7, the flipping angle range of the flipping frame 4 along the rotating frame 2 is 0-90°, which is convenient for flipping and resetting the box body 7 in the feeding direction of the conveyor line. When rotating to the discharging direction of the conveyor line, the flipping mechanism 5 is used again to flip the box body 7 and stand it upright on the discharging conveyor line, and the flipping and erecting operation at an angle of 0-90° is performed during the rotation and diversion process.

[0042] In this specific embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the flipping mechanism 5 includes a flipping motor 50 arranged on a connecting seat 51, and one end of the flipping shaft 52 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 51, and the output end of the flipping motor 50 is key-connected to the flipping shaft 52, and the flipping shaft 52 is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating frame 2 through a bearing seat 53, and the flipping shaft 52 is fixedly connected to the flipping frame 4 through a plurality of flange support blocks 54. During the operation of the flipping frame 4 flipping along the rotating frame 2 within an angle range of 0-90°, the flipping motor 50 rotates through the key-connected flipping shaft 52, so that the flipping shaft 52 drives the flange support block 54 to flip, so as to realize the flipping of the flipping frame 4 along the rotating frame 2 within an angle range of 0-90°. The operation is convenient, and the flipping is stable and reliable.

[0043] In this specific embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of buffer pillars 10 are provided on one side of the rotating frame 2 away from the flip axis 52. The buffer pillars 10 are used to limit the contact with the flip frame 4. During the process of clamping and locking the box body 7 for flipping and resetting, the buffer pillars 10 are used to limit the flipping angle of the box body 7 to prevent the flip frame 4 from directly impacting the rotating frame 2.

[0044] The clamping and locking operation of the box body 7 during the rotary diversion process will be described in detail below.

[0045] During the clamping and locking operation, if Figure 5 As shown, the clamping mechanism 8 includes a transverse telescopic cylinder 80, the tail end of which is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 81, on which two vertical telescopic cylinders 82 are provided. The telescopic directions of the two vertical telescopic cylinders 82 are opposite, and the tail end of each vertical telescopic cylinder 82 clamps the inner wall of the open end of the fixed box body 7 through a butt plate 83. The vertical telescopic cylinder 82 is driven by the transverse telescopic cylinder 80 to enter the open end of the box body 7, and then the vertical telescopic cylinder 82 set in the opposite direction of telescopic movement is actuated to enable the butt plate 83 to clamp the fixed box body 7, thereby ensuring that the box body 7 is locked and clamped stably and securely, facilitating flipping and rotation operations.

[0046] In this specific embodiment, when the specifications and sizes of the box body 7 to be clamped and fixed are different, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the flip frame 4 is connected to the clamping mechanism 8 through a sliding adjustment mechanism 9. Two clamping mechanisms 8 are provided. The gap distance between the two clamping mechanisms 8 is adjusted by the sliding adjustment mechanism 9. In order to ensure the stability of clamping and fixing the boxes 7 of different sizes, the working gap position of the two clamping mechanisms 8 can be adjusted by the sliding adjustment mechanism 9 to meet the needs of clamping and fixing the boxes 7 of different sizes, and the operation is convenient.

[0047] In this specific embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sliding adjustment mechanism 9 includes a sliding motor 96 fixedly mounted on the flip frame 4, the output end of the sliding motor 96 is fixedly connected to the left and right screw rods 95, the two sides of the left and right screw rods 95 are respectively threadedly connected to the threaded sleeves 94, the threaded sleeves 94 are fixedly connected to the slide seat 90 through the support plate 93, the slide seat 90 is fixedly mounted with a transverse telescopic cylinder 80, the flip frame 4 is provided with at least two straight slide rails 92, the slide seat 90 is slidably connected to the straight slide rails 92 through the slider 91, the two ends of the left and right screw rods 95 are respectively rotatably connected to the bearing seat 2 97, the shaft The second support 97 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the flip frame 4. When the sliding adjustment mechanism 9 adjusts the working gap position of the two clamping mechanisms 8, the sliding motor 96 drives the left and right screw rods 95 to rotate. The threads of the left and right screw rods 95 are threadedly connected to the slide seat 90 through the threaded sleeve 94 and the support plate 93, so that the slide seats 90 on both sides can slide along the straight bar through the slider 91 to move closer to or away from each other. The operation is convenient, so as to adjust the gap position of the two clamping mechanisms 8, thereby meeting the clamping and locking use of boxes 7 of different specifications and sizes.

[0048] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention. However, the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
