Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0025] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an automatic boxing machine, including a support frame 1, a waist strip hopper 2, a waist strip picking module 3, and a boxing picking module 4. The support frame 1 is vertically arranged, and a horizontally arranged conveyor belt 11 is provided on the support frame 1. A protective cover 12 is provided on the support frame 1. The waist strip hopper 2 is vertically arranged on the side wall of the support frame 1. The support frame 1 is also provided with a guide strip adjusting seat 5. The waist strip picking module 3 is horizontally arranged on the support frame 1 and is connected to the waist strip hopper 2. The boxing picking module 4 is arranged on the support frame 1 and is located next to the waist strip picking module 3.

[0027] Working principle: When assembling packaging boxes, the waist strip is placed in the waist strip hopper 2, and the top box and bottom box are placed on the conveyor belt 11 at equal intervals. The bottom box and top box are manually conveyed to the processing area. Two limit cylinders 6 work to drive two limit blocks 61 to limit one end of the bottom box. Then, the positioning cylinder 7 works to drive the positioning block 71 to move and limit the side wall of the bottom box. The waist strip picking module 3 picks up the waist strip and places it horizontally on the bottom box. Then, the box picking module 4 picks up the top box and moves it above the bottom box, assembling the top box on the bottom box, thus realizing the assembly operation of the packaging box. Compared with the existing technology of manual assembly, the present invention reduces the defect rate, does not require skilled workers, increases production capacity, and reduces defects caused by manual operation, which can quickly and effectively improve efficiency and reduce costs.

[0028] Specifically, the waist strip hopper 2 includes a placement hopper 21, a waist strip feeding plate 22, a feeding motor 23, a feeding screw 24, and two sliding rods 25. The placement hopper 21 is vertically mounted on the side wall of the support frame 1. The feeding motor 23 is located at the bottom of the placement hopper 21. The feeding screw 24 is rotatably connected inside the placement hopper 21 and connected to the main shaft of the feeding motor 23. The two sliding rods 25 are symmetrically arranged inside the placement hopper 21. One end of the waist strip feeding plate 22 is threadedly connected to the feeding screw 24 and slides with the two sliding rods 25. The other end of the waist strip feeding plate 22 extends outside the placement hopper 21.

[0029] When the waist strips are stacked on the waist strip feeding plate 22 located outside the placement chamber 21, the feeding motor 23 drives the feeding screw 24 to rotate on the placement chamber 21, thereby driving the waist strip feeding plate 22 to move upward on the two sliding rods 25, moving the waist strips located above the stacked waist strips to below the two waist strip clamping suction cups 38, thereby realizing the automatic feeding operation of the waist strips.

[0030] Specifically, the guide bar adjustment seat 5 includes two guide rods 51 and two sets of guide seats 52. The two guide rods 51 are symmetrically arranged on the support frame 1, and the two sets of guide seats 52 are symmetrically arranged on the two guide rods 51 and slide in cooperation with the guide rods 51. The two sets of guide seats 52 form two moving passages. When feeding the top box and bottom box, the distance and position of the two sets of guide seats 52 on the two guide rods 51 can be adjusted to adapt to the feeding guidance of top boxes and bottom boxes of different sizes.

[0031] Specifically, one of the guide seats 52 is equipped with two limiting cylinders 6, each with a limiting block 61 on its telescopic end. The guide seat 52 is also equipped with a positioning cylinder 7, with a positioning block 71 on its telescopic end. The two limiting cylinders 6 work to move the two limiting blocks 61, thus limiting one end of the bottom box. Then, the positioning cylinder 7 moves the positioning block 71 to limit the side wall of the bottom box, preventing the bottom box from shifting during assembly and affecting processing accuracy.

[0032] Specifically, the waist strip picking module 3 includes a mounting plate 31, a drive motor 32, a sliding block 33, a sliding rail 34, a lifting cylinder 35, a belt 36, two drive wheels 37, and two waist strip clamping suction cups 38. The mounting plate 31 is horizontally arranged, and the two drive wheels 37 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the mounting plate 31. The belt 36 is sleeved on the two drive wheels 37. The drive motor 32 is located on the mounting plate 31 and is connected to one of the drive wheels 37. The sliding rail 34 is horizontally arranged on the mounting plate 31. The sliding block 33 is slidably connected to the sliding rail 34 and connected to the belt 36. The lifting cylinder 35 is located on the sliding block 33. A connecting plate 39 is provided on the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 35. The two waist strip clamping suction cups 38 are symmetrically arranged on the connecting plate 39.

[0033] When the waist strip is being fed and moved, the drive motor 32 drives the two drive wheels 37 to rotate on the mounting plate 31, which in turn drives the belt 36 to rotate, causing the sliding block 33 to move horizontally on the sliding rail 34. This moves the position of the two waist strip clamping suction cups 38 above the placement chamber 21. Then, the lifting cylinder 35 drives the two waist strip clamping suction cups 38 on the connecting plate 39 to move downwards and pick up both ends of the waist strip. After picking up the waist strip, the drive motor 32 moves the waist strip above the bottom box and places it horizontally, thus realizing the automatic feeding operation of the waist strip.

[0034] Specifically, the kit material handling module 4 includes a support plate 41, a rotary motor 42, a sliding rail 43, a moving block 44, a drive screw slide 45, a connecting belt 46, a material handling gripper 47, and two rotating wheels 48. The support plate 41 is horizontally arranged, and the two rotating wheels 48 are symmetrically rotated and connected to the support plate 41. The connecting belt 46 is sleeved on the two rotating wheels 48. The sliding rail 43 is horizontally arranged on the support plate 41. The moving block 44 is slidably connected to the sliding rail 43 and connected to the connecting belt 46. The rotary motor 42 is located at the bottom of the support plate 41 and is driven by one of the rotating wheels 48. The drive screw slide 45 is vertically connected to the moving block 44, and the material handling gripper 47 is connected to the moving end of the drive screw slide 45.

[0035] When the top box of the packaging box is gripped and moved, the rotating motor 42 drives the two rotating wheels 48 to rotate on the support plate 41, thereby driving the connecting belt 46 to rotate. This causes the moving block 44 to move horizontally on the moving slide rail 43, moving the position of the picking claw 47 to the top box. Then, the driving screw slide 45 drives the position of the picking claw 47 to move downward to grip the top box. After gripping, the rotating motor 42 drives the gripped top box to move above the bottom box. Then, the driving screw slide 45 drives the position of the top box to move downward and assemble it onto the bottom box, thereby realizing the assembly of the packaging box.

[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
