Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dental floss pick equipment, and in particular to a box opening and loading device based on dental floss picks. Background Art

[0002] Dental floss sticks, also known as dental floss picks, are a product used with a toothbrush in daily oral care. Before dental floss sticks, people used dental floss to achieve the same effect. Compared with dental floss, dental floss sticks have the advantages of being more convenient, efficient, safe, and hygienic.

[0003] Toothbrushes can only brush 70% of the surface of teeth, and dental floss makes up for the shortcomings of toothbrushes. It is a household tooth protection product commonly used in Europe and the United States today. This product can be used as both a toothpick and a dental floss. It has a smooth arc-shaped dental floss head design. The 2 kg tensile dental floss protects the gums and removes dental plaque, soft scale, and food residues. The middle of the toothpick is designed with anti-slip edges or various anti-slip textures. The toothpick head is flat, like a knife, which is more conducive to inserting into the gap between teeth. It can be bent at a 45-degree angle, which is conducive to removing debris that ordinary toothpicks cannot reach.

[0004] In the process of putting dental floss sticks into bags and boxes, the methods are different. When putting dental floss sticks into bags, the bag will be opened by a bag-holding device first, and then the dental floss sticks will be put into the bag. However, the order of the dental floss sticks is disordered, and they will puncture the bag body during transportation after putting them into the bag. If the dental floss sticks are put into a box, the disordered order will also cause the space inside the box to be compressed, reducing the available storage space inside the box, and the dental floss sticks will be entangled with each other, and after putting them into the box, the dental floss sticks will be locked together. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application aims to solve the technical problems that when putting dental floss sticks into a bag, the bag must be opened by a bag-holding device first, and then the dental floss sticks are put into the bag. However, the order of the dental floss sticks is disordered, and the bag body will be punctured during transportation after the dental floss sticks are put into the bag. If the dental floss sticks are put into a box, the disordered order will also cause the space in the box to be compressed, reducing the available storage space in the box.

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] A dental floss pick-based box opening and loading device, the device comprising:

[0040] A material clamping assembly 7, wherein the material clamping assembly 7 comprises a first servo motor 702, a first clamping plate 701, a linear guide rail 703, a rack 704 and a clamping member 705;

[0041] The first servo motor 702 is arranged on one side of the first clamping plate 701, the linear guide rail 703 and the rack 704 are arranged on the other side of the first clamping plate 701, the output end of the first servo motor 702 is connected to the rack 704, the rack 704 is connected to the plug-in clamp 705, and the plug-in clamp 705 moves laterally on the rack 704 and the linear guide rail 703 as the first servo motor 702 rotates;

[0042] A material regulating assembly 8, wherein the material regulating assembly 8 comprises a second clamping plate 801, a second servo motor 805 and a third servo motor 806, and a plurality of fixed pulleys 802, a belt 803 and a contoured gripper 804;

[0043] The second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806 are both arranged on one side of the second clamping plate 801, and the fixed pulley 802 and the belt 803 are arranged on the other side of the second clamping plate 801. The output ends of the second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806 are respectively connected to the corresponding fixed pulley 802 through the belt 803 to move, and the plurality of contour grippers 804 are respectively connected to the output ends of the second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806;

[0044] A material pushing component 9, wherein the material pushing component 9 comprises a third clamping plate 901, a pushing cylinder 902 and a pushing plate 903;

[0045] One side of the third clamping plate 901 is connected to the first clamping plate 701, and the pushing cylinder 902 is arranged on the other side of the third clamping plate 901. The output end of the pushing cylinder 902 is connected to the pushing plate 903, and the moving direction of the pushing plate 903 is toward the box;

[0046] The machine unit moving assembly includes a first lifting motor 2, a first lifting slide 1, a second lifting motor 4, a second lifting slide 3, a slide cylinder 5, and a track 6;

[0047] The first lifting motor 2 is adapted to the first lifting slide 1, the first clamping plate 701 is connected to the first lifting slide 1, and the first clamping plate 701 is lifted and lowered along with the first lifting slide 1 through the first lifting motor 2;

[0048] The second lifting motor 4 is adapted to the second lifting slide 3, and the slide cylinder 5 is connected to the second lifting slide 3. The slide cylinder 5 is lifted and lowered along with the second lifting slide 3 through the second lifting motor 4.

[0049] The slide cylinder 5 is clamped with the track 6 , and the second clamping plate 801 is connected with the track 6 .

[0050] The number of the plurality of contour-bearing claws 804 is two, and the two contour-bearing claws 804 respectively correspond to the output ends of the second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806 to perform self-rotation activities.

[0051] The second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806 are arranged in parallel and are perpendicular to the second clamping plate 801 .

[0052] In this embodiment,

[0053] Specifically, the dental floss sticks are evenly inserted into the two contoured claws 804, and the number of dental floss sticks on the two contoured claws 804 is the same. In order to be loaded into the box in an orderly and convenient manner, the dental floss sticks themselves are shaped like the number "9", and the tails of the dental floss sticks on the two contoured claws 804 are arranged in a relative direction. The rotation of the second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806 drives the contoured claws 804 to rotate, and the rotation of the contoured claws 804 drives the dental floss sticks to rotate until the tails of the dental floss sticks are arranged in a relative direction, and the dental floss sticks are alternately connected front and back. For example, the dental floss sticks on the left contoured claw 804 are arranged in the front, and the dental floss sticks on the right contoured claw 804 are arranged in the back. The alternating front and back inserted dental floss sticks are combined and arranged to improve the utilization rate of the dental floss sticks;

[0054] After the dental floss stick is sleeved on the two contour claws 804 and the shapes are matched alternately, the first lifting motor 2 drives the first clamping plate 701 on the first lifting slide 1 to move up and down. After the first clamping plate 701 moves to the highest point of the first lifting slide 1, the plug-in clamp 705 is aligned with the two contour claws 804 and gradually moved downward, so that the plug-in clamp 705 can be clamped on the contour claws 804;

[0055] Then, in order to facilitate the driving and adjusting of the position of the profiling gripper 804, the second lifting slide 3 is driven by the second lifting motor 4 to drive the slide cylinder 5 to move. Because the profiling gripper 804 is fixed on the second clamping plate 801, the second clamping plate 801 is connected to the track 6, and the track 6 is connected to the slide cylinder 5, the profiling gripper 804 will move up and down with the slide cylinder 5. At the same time, the second clamping plate 801 on the profiling gripper 804 moves horizontally with the movement of the track 6 and the slide cylinder 5.

[0056] Through the lifting and lateral movement of the first clamping plate 701 and the lifting and lateral movement of the second clamping plate 801, the clamping piece 705 and the contoured claw 804 can be flexibly adapted and connected to each other, and then the pushing cylinder 902 on the third clamping plate 901 drives the pushing plate 903 to push the dental floss stick. Before pushing, the multiple dental floss sticks evenly arranged on the contoured claw 804 are fixed by the clamping piece 705, and then the contoured claw 804 is taken out of the multiple dental floss sticks, so that the multiple evenly arranged dental floss sticks are suspended in the clamping piece 705, and then the pushing plate 903 pushes the multiple dental floss sticks into the box below for storage with the power of the pushing cylinder 902, so as to complete all the above-mentioned fully automatic dental floss stick boxing operations.

[0057] The clamping member 705 is lifted and lowered by the first lifting motor 2, the clamping member 705 is laterally moved by the first servo motor 702, and the clamping member 705 is moved up and down by the pushing cylinder 902;

[0058] The contour-copying claw 804 is rotated by the second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806 , the contour-copying claw 804 is laterally moved by the slide cylinder 5 , and the contour-copying claw 804 is lifted and lowered by the second lifting motor 4 .

[0059] In this embodiment, the clamping member 705 is composed of two clamping blocks and a transverse plate, and the two transverse plates are connected to the first clamping plate 701 via the two clamping blocks.

[0060] The bottom of the two horizontal plates each has two inlays, and the width of the two inlays is adapted to the diameter of the two contoured grippers 804 .

[0061] The four inlays of the two transverse plates are respectively clamped at the front end and the rear end of the contoured grippers 804 in pairs.

[0062] Specifically, one end of the two card blocks is connected to the first card plate 701, and the other ends of the two card blocks are respectively connected to the corresponding two cross plates. The two card blocks are arranged in parallel with respect to the first card plate 701, and there is a space between the two card blocks, which is used to accommodate the third card plate 901, the push cylinder 902 and the push plate 903. The card block on the outer side of the dental floss stick is connected to the rack 704, and the card block on the inner side is fixed on the card plate. The rack 704 will drive the rack 704 to move horizontally on the linear guide 703 as the first servo motor 702 drives it, and the card block on the outer side moves inward. Another card block is gradually squeezed, and the space is also gradually squeezed to achieve the compression of multiple dental floss sticks evenly arranged on the contoured claws 804 to be clamped. The clamping is achieved through the action of two horizontal plates. The inlays set on the horizontal plates are used for the contoured claws 804 to pass through the openings left. Therefore, after the horizontal plates clamp the dental floss sticks, the contoured claws 804 will pull out the centers of multiple dental floss sticks, and the four corners of the box will be pressed tightly by the four corners of the horizontal plates. Then, the push plate 903 will push the multiple dental floss sticks to move into the box below and load them, so as to complete the fully automated process of aligning the dental floss sticks with each other and loading them into the box.
