Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic product transportation packaging, and specifically to an automatic transportation packaging device for electronic products. Background Art

[0002] Electronic products are related products based on electric energy, mainly including: electronic watches, smart phones, telephones, televisions, video disc players (VCD, SVCD, DVD), video recorders, video cameras, radios, tape recorders, combined speakers, CD players (CD), computers, game consoles, mobile communication products, etc. They were named electronic products because the early products mainly used electron tubes as basic components.

[0003] After the production of electronic products is completed, they need to be packaged before being sent to the warehouse for subsequent sales. Some large electronic products are packed in cardboard boxes during packaging, and foam boards are placed at the top and bottom of the cardboard boxes to provide shock absorption and protection for the electronic products, so as to prevent the electronic products from being easily damaged during the handling and movement of the cardboard boxes. At the same time, in order to improve the packaging efficiency, automatic packaging equipment has been started to be used. The cardboard boxes are placed on the conveyor belt for assembly line automatic packaging. The packaging process is to first press the bottom foam board into the bottom of the cardboard box, then load the electronic product into the cardboard box and insert it into the top of the bottom foam board at the same time, then press the top foam board into the cardboard box and cover it on the top of the electronic product, then cover the four covers of the cardboard box, and finally seal the cardboard box.

[0004] However, when the cardboard box moves under the conveyance of the conveyor belt, the four covers of the cardboard box are prone to rotate and fold inward. Therefore, when loading the bottom foam board, the electronic product and the top foam board into the cardboard box, the four covers that are turned and folded inward are likely to hinder the loading operation of the bottom foam board, the electronic product and the top foam board, resulting in the failure to smoothly complete the automatic transportation packaging work and reducing the reliability of the automatic transportation packaging work of electronic products. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic transportation packaging device for electronic products to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an automatic transport and packaging device for electronic products, comprising: a base; a conveyor belt is fixedly installed on the top of the base, a robotic arm is connected to the top of the base, a flange is fixedly connected to the robotic arm, the bottom of the flange is fixedly connected to a circular plate through a connecting block, the bottom of the circular plate is fixedly connected to a guide column, the bottom of the guide column is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, the bottom of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a grabbing tool, a plurality of first electric push rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular plate in an annular shape at equal angles, a push ring is fixedly connected between the output ends of the plurality of first electric push rods, the push ring is movably sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the guide column, and the push ring is connected to a toggle assembly for toggling the four cover plates on the top of the carton;

[0007] The toggle assembly includes four fixed rods fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the push ring at equal angles in a ring shape, and four toggle rods are connected to one end of the four fixed rods away from the push ring through a first rotating rod at equal angles in a ring shape, and the sides of the four toggle rods are fixedly connected to the first motors, and the four first motors are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the four first rotating rods;

[0008] The grabbing tooling also includes four auxiliary folding components connected in a circular shape at equal angles to the end of the lever away from the fixed lever, which are used to fold the cover until the angle between it and the side of the carton is close to zero degrees. Four pushing components are connected in a circular shape at equal angles to the four levers, and the pushing components are used to push the carton cover to flip so as to cooperate with the auxiliary folding components to better drive the carton cover to fold.

[0009] By using the auxiliary folding component to fold the cover that is flipped to an angle close to zero with the side of the carton, the cover that is close to parallel to the conveyor belt surface can be flipped, so that the folded cover can be flipped more smoothly and reliably, thereby ensuring that the cover can be flipped from the inside to the outside of the carton or from the outside to the inside of the carton can be carried out smoothly, thereby preventing the cover from obstructing the packaging of electronic products, bottom foam boards and top foam boards. At the same time, after the electronic products, bottom foam boards and top foam boards are packed, the four cover boards can be covered in order, ensuring that the automatic packaging of electronic products can be carried out smoothly and quickly.

[0010] The pushing component is used to push the carton cover to flip so as to cooperate with the auxiliary folding component to better drive the carton cover to fold. The advantage of this arrangement is that when the elastic cover absorbs the cover and flips it, the pushing component can push the cover to fold at a larger angle, thereby avoiding the cover from obstructing the packing and packaging operations of electronic products, bottom foam boards and top foam boards, or allowing the cover to smoothly cover the top of the carton to complete the sealing operation, thereby improving the reliability and practicality of the packaging equipment.

[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary folding component includes a moving mechanism provided at the end of the lever. The moving mechanism includes two symmetrically distributed moving blocks. The two moving blocks can reciprocate synchronously along the length direction of the lever. A second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the side surface of one of the moving blocks, and a rotating tube is rotatably connected to the side surface of the other moving block. A circular block is fixedly connected between the closer ends of the second rotating rod and the rotating tube. A hollow cavity is formed inside the circular block. One end of the rotating tube close to the circular block is communicated with the hollow cavity. The bottom of the circular block is communicated with an elastic cover. One end of the rotating tube away from the circular block penetrates through the moving block and is communicated with a first suction pump. The first suction pump is fixedly connected to the side surface of the moving block. The output end of the first suction pump is communicated with a first exhaust pipe. The advantage of such a setting is that the first electric push rod cooperates with the push ring to push the lever and the elastic cover downward until they are in contact with and fit the cover plate that is nearly parallel to the top surface of the conveyor belt. At the same time, the first suction pump is started, and the air in the hollow cavity of the circular block is sucked away through the rotating tube and the first exhaust pipe to form a negative pressure. In this way, the cover plate can be adsorbed in cooperation with the elastic cover. Then, the first electric push rod is started to drive the elastic cover to move upward. At the same time, the first motor drives the lever to rotate towards the outside or inside of the cardboard box through the first rotating rod. In this way, the cover plate can be flipped from the inside of the cardboard box to the outside or the cover plate can be flipped from the outside of the cardboard box to the top of the cardboard box to complete the capping operation. And because the circular block can rotate itself and can move along the length direction of the lever under the action of the moving mechanism, the elastic cover can still drive the cover plate to flip smoothly after adsorbing the cover plate, avoiding deformation of the cover plate or generating a large pulling force on the cover plate to pull the cardboard box out of position, ensuring that the automatic packaging work can be carried out smoothly and reliably.

[0012] Preferably, the moving mechanism further includes a moving cavity provided at the end of the lever away from the fixed rod. Two moving grooves are symmetrically provided on the side surface of the lever. Both of the two moving grooves are communicated with the moving cavity. The two moving blocks are symmetrically slidably connected in the two moving grooves. Two round rods are symmetrically fixedly connected between the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the two moving grooves. The two moving blocks are symmetrically movably sleeved on the two round rods. Two first elastic members are symmetrically fixedly connected between the tops of the two moving blocks and the inner top walls of the two moving grooves. The advantage of such a setting is that the moving blocks and the circular block can move stably along the moving grooves under the limiting action of the moving grooves and the round rods.

[0013] Preferably, the pushing component includes a second motor fixedly connected to the side surface of the lever through a fixing frame. The output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to a rotating plate. The rotating plate swings along a plane parallel to the side surface of the lever. The advantage of such a setting is that the second motor drives the rotating plate to swing along a plane parallel to the side surface of the lever, which can stably push the cover plate to flip.

[0014] Preferably, the width of the end of the lever away from the second motor gradually decreases from the direction close to the second motor to the direction away from the second motor. The advantage of this setting is that when the rotating plate pushes the cover plate to flip, the acting force between the rotating plate and the side surface of the cover plate is reduced, protecting the cover plate from being scratched during the flipping process, and improving the reliability and safety of the packaging equipment.

[0015] Preferably, the pushing assembly further includes a receiving cavity opened on the side surface of the rotating plate close to the lever. Two hook plates are symmetrically and movably connected in the receiving cavity. The pushing assembly further includes a receiving mechanism connected to the rotating plate. The two hook plates are connected to the receiving mechanism. The receiving mechanism is used to drive the two hook plates to swing towards each other or away from each other to complete the receiving or extending operation of the hook plates. The advantage of this setting is that by driving the two hook plates to extend out of the receiving cavity through the receiving mechanism, the cover plate close to being parallel to the conveyor belt plane can be hooked, so as to cooperate with the elastic cover to drive the cover plate to flip more smoothly and reliably together, ensuring the smooth progress of the automatic packaging work.

[0016] Preferably, the receiving mechanism includes a third electric push rod fixedly connected to the side surface of the hook plate close to the rotating plate. The output end of the third electric push rod is fixedly connected with a push block. Two hinge rods are symmetrically hinged on the side surface of the push block. The ends of the two hinge rods away from the push block are respectively hinged to the two hook plates. Two through grooves are symmetrically opened on the side surfaces of the two hook plates. Two limiting columns are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the receiving cavity and are symmetrically and movably inserted into the two through grooves. The receiving mechanism receives the hook plates into the receiving cavity when the hook plates rotate to the overlapping position with the rotating plate. The advantage of this setting is that the third electric push rod is started to extend and retract to push the push block to move away from or close to the fixed rod. The push block drives the two hook plates to extend out of or retract into the receiving cavity through the hinge rods, through grooves and limiting columns, so as to ensure the stable and reliable progress of the receiving or extending operation of the hook plates.

[0017] Preferably, the two hook plates are right-angled triangles distributed symmetrically. The sides away from each other of the two hook plates are hypotenuses. The maximum included angle between the long right-angled side of the hook plate and the longitudinal center line of the rotating plate is not greater than 30 degrees. The advantage of this setting is that the hypotenuse of the hook plate contacts the side surface of the cover plate, and the rotation angle of the hook plate is prevented from being too large, so as to avoid scratching the cover plate, ensuring the safety of the carton and improving the reliability and safety of the automatic transportation and packaging operation of the equipment.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] The present invention drives four levers to be inserted between four cover plates through a first electric push rod and a push ring, then starts the first motor and drives the four levers to swing in directions away from each other through a first rotating rod, so that the four cover plates can be driven to flip to the outside of the carton, thereby preventing the cover plates from obstructing the movement of electronic products, bottom foam plates or top foam plates being loaded into the box, ensuring that the automatic transport and packaging operation of the equipment can be carried out smoothly, and improving the reliability and practicality of the automatic transport and packaging equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] 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 creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figures 1-8 , an automatic transport and packaging equipment for electronic products shown in the figure includes: a base 1; a conveyor belt 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, and a robotic arm is connected to the top of the base 1. The robotic arm is a mature existing technology and is therefore not shown in the drawings. A flange 2 is fixedly connected to the robotic arm, and a circular plate 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flange 2 through a connecting block. The bottom of the circular plate 21 is fixedly connected to a guide column 22, and the bottom of the guide column 22 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 23. The bottom of the mounting plate 23 is fixedly connected to a grabbing tool 24. A plurality of first electric push rods 3 are fixedly connected in an annular shape at equal angles to the bottom of the circular plate 21. A push ring 31 is fixedly connected between the output ends of the plurality of first electric push rods 3. The push ring 31 is movably sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the guide column 22. The push ring 31 is connected to a toggle component 4 for toggling the four cover plates on the top of the carton;

[0031] The grabbing tool 24 is used to grab the bottom foam board, electronic products or the top foam board;

[0032] The toggle assembly 4 includes four fixed rods 41 fixedly connected to the outer peripheral surface of the push ring 31 at equal angles in a ring shape. The four fixed rods 41 are connected to four toggle rods 42 at one end away from the push ring 31 through a first rotating rod at equal angles in a ring shape. The sides of the four toggle rods 42 are fixedly connected to the first motors 43, and the four first motors 43 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the four first rotating rods.

[0033] See Figures 1-3 Four auxiliary folding components 5 are connected to one end of the four levers 42 away from the fixed rod 41 at equal angles in a ring shape. The auxiliary folding components 5 are used to fold the cover that is flipped to an angle close to zero with the side of the carton.

[0034] Specifically, the cover plate that is close to being parallel to the surface of the conveyor belt 11 can be moved and flipped, so that the folded cover plate can be moved and flipped more smoothly and reliably, thereby ensuring that the cover plate can be flipped from the inside to the outside of the carton or from the outside to the inside of the carton can be flipped smoothly. In this way, the cover plate can be prevented from obstructing the packaging of electronic products, bottom foam plates and top foam plates. At the same time, after the electronic products, bottom foam plates and top foam plates are packed, the four cover plates can be covered in order to ensure that the automatic packaging of electronic products can be carried out smoothly and quickly.

[0035] SeeFigures 2-6 The auxiliary folding component 5 includes a moving mechanism 51 provided at the end of the lever 42. The moving mechanism 51 includes two symmetrically distributed moving blocks 511. The two moving blocks 511 can reciprocate synchronously along the length direction of the lever 42. A second rotating rod 52 is rotatably connected to the side surface of one of the moving blocks 511, and a rotating tube is rotatably connected to the side surface of the other moving block 511. A circular block 53 is fixedly connected between the closer ends of the second rotating rod 52 and the rotating tube. A hollow cavity is provided inside the circular block 53. One end of the rotating tube close to the circular block 53 is communicated with the hollow cavity. The bottom of the circular block 53 is communicated with an elastic cover 54. One end of the rotating tube far from the circular block 53 penetrates through the moving block 511 and is communicated with a first suction pump 55. The first suction pump 55 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the moving block 511. The output end of the first suction pump 55 is communicated with a first exhaust pipe 56.

[0036] Specifically, the first electric push rod 3 cooperates with the push ring 31 to push the lever 42 and the elastic cover 54 downward until they are in contact with and fit against the cover plate that is nearly parallel to the top surface of the conveyor belt 11. At the same time, the first suction pump 55 is started, and the air in the hollow cavity of the circular block 53 is sucked away through the rotating tube and the first exhaust pipe 56 to form a negative pressure. In this way, the cover plate can be adsorbed in cooperation with the elastic cover 54. Then, the first electric push rod 3 is started to drive the elastic cover 54 to move upward. At the same time, the first motor 43 drives the lever 42 to rotate towards the outside or the inside of the cardboard box through the first rotating rod. In this way, the cover plate can be flipped from the inside of the cardboard box to the outside or from the outside of the cardboard box to the top of the cardboard box to complete the capping operation. And because the circular block 53 can rotate itself, and at the same time, the circular block 53 can move along the length direction of the lever 42 under the action of the moving mechanism 51, so that the elastic cover 54 can still drive the cover plate to flip smoothly after adsorbing the cover plate, avoiding deformation of the cover plate or generating a large pulling force on the cover plate to pull the cardboard box to shift, ensuring that the automatic packaging work can be carried out smoothly and reliably.

[0037] Refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the moving mechanism 51 further includes a moving cavity 512 opened at the end of the lever 42 far from the fixed rod 41. Two moving grooves 513 are symmetrically opened on the side surface of the lever 42. Both of the two moving grooves 513 are communicated with the moving cavity 512. The two moving blocks 511 are symmetrically slidably connected in the two moving grooves 513. Two round rods 514 are symmetrically fixedly connected between the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the two moving grooves 513. The two moving blocks 511 are symmetrically movably sleeved on the two round rods 514. Two first elastic members 515 are symmetrically fixedly connected between the tops of the two moving blocks 511 and the inner top walls of the two moving grooves 513.

[0038] Specifically, under the limiting effect of the moving groove 513 and the round rod 514, the moving block 511 and the circular block 53 can move stably along the moving groove 513.

[0039] Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , four pushing components 6 are annularly and equally angularly connected to the four lever rods 42. The pushing components 6 are used to push the carton cover plate to turn over to cooperate with the auxiliary folding component 5 to better drive the carton cover plate to fold.

[0040] Specifically, when the elastic cover 54 adsorbs and flips the cover plate, the pushing component 6 can push the cover plate to fold at a larger angle, avoiding obstacles to the packing and packaging operations of electronic products, bottom foam boards and top foam boards by the cover plate or enabling the cover plate to be smoothly covered on the top of the carton to complete the sealing operation, improving the reliability and practicability of the packaging equipment.

[0041] Refer to Figure 5 , the pushing component 6 includes a second motor 61 fixedly connected to the side of the lever rod 42 through a fixing frame. The output end of the second motor 61 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 62, and the rotating plate 62 swings along a plane parallel to the side of the lever rod 42.

[0042] Specifically, by driving the rotating plate 62 to swing along a plane parallel to the side of the lever rod 42 through the second motor 61, the cover plate can be stably pushed to turn over.

[0043] Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the width of the end of the lever rod 42 away from the second motor 61 gradually decreases from the direction close to the second motor 61 to the direction away from the second motor 61.

[0044] Specifically, when the rotating plate 62 pushes the cover plate to turn over, the acting force between the rotating plate 62 and the side of the cover plate is reduced, protecting the cover plate from being scratched during the turning process, and improving the reliability and safety of the packaging equipment.

[0045] Refer to Figure 7 , the pushing component 6 further includes a receiving cavity 63 opened on the side of the rotating plate 62 close to the lever rod 42. Two hook plates 64 are symmetrically and movably connected in the receiving cavity 63. The pushing component 6 further includes a receiving mechanism 65 connected to the rotating plate 62. The two hook plates 64 are connected to the receiving mechanism 65, and the receiving mechanism 65 is used to drive the two hook plates 64 to swing towards each other or away from each other to complete the receiving or extending operation of the hook plates 64.

[0046] Specifically, the storage mechanism 65 drives the two hook plates 64 to extend out of the accommodation cavity 63, and can lift the cover plate that is close to being parallel to the plane of the conveyor belt 11, so as to cooperate with the elastic cover 54 to drive the cover plate to flip more smoothly and reliably together, ensuring the smooth progress of the automatic packaging work.

[0047] Refer to Figure 7 , the storage mechanism 65 includes a third electric push rod 651 fixedly connected to the side of the hook plate 64 close to the rotating plate 62. The output end of the third electric push rod 651 is fixedly connected with a push block 652. Two hinge rods 653 are symmetrically hinged on the side of the push block 652. One ends of the two hinge rods 653 far from the push block 652 are respectively hinged to the two hook plates 64. Two through grooves 654 are symmetrically opened on the sides of the two hook plates 64. Two limit columns 655 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the accommodation cavity 63 and are symmetrically and movably inserted into the two through grooves 654. The storage mechanism 65 stores the hook plate 64 into the accommodation cavity 63 when the hook plate 64 rotates to the overlapping position with the rotating plate 62.

[0048] Specifically, start the third electric push rod 651 to expand and contract to push the push block 652 to move away from or close to the fixed rod 41. The push block 652 drives the two hook plates 64 to extend out of or retract into the accommodation cavity 63 through the hinge rods 653, the through grooves 654 and the limit columns 655, so as to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the storage or extension operation of the hook plate 64.

[0049] Refer to Figure 7 , the two hook plates 64 are right-angled triangles distributed symmetrically. The sides away from each other of the two hook plates 64 are hypotenuses. The maximum included angle between the long right-angled side of the hook plate 64 and the longitudinal center line of the rotating plate 62 is not greater than 30 degrees.

[0050] Specifically, make the hypotenuse of the hook plate 64 contact with the side of the cover plate, and avoid the over-large rotation angle of the hook plate 64, so as to avoid scratching the cover plate by the hook plate 64, ensure the safety of the carton, and improve the reliability and safety of the automatic transportation and packaging operation of the equipment.

[0051] Working principle: When in use, the conveyor belt 11 drives the carton to move intermittently. Whenever it moves to directly below the mounting plate 23, it stops moving. Then start the first suction pump 55, the rotating pipe and the first exhaust pipe 56 to suck away the air in the hollow cavity of the circular block 53 and form a negative pressure. Then start the first electric push rod 3 and the push ring 31 to drive the four dial rods 42 to insert between the four cover plates. Then start the first motor 43 and drive the four dial rods 42 to swing away from each other through the first rotating rod, so as to drive the four cover plates to flip to the outside of the carton, avoiding the cover plates from hindering the smooth progress of the automatic packaging process.

[0052] And when the cover plate flips to the upper side of the box body and approaches a position parallel to the surface of the conveyor belt 11, when the first electric push rod 3 cooperates with the push ring 31 to push the lever 42 downward, the lever 42 will drive the elastic cover 54 to move downward until it contacts and fits with the cover plate that is nearly parallel to the top surface of the conveyor belt 11. And at this time, the first suction pump 55 sucks the air in the hollow cavity of the circular block 53 through the rotating pipe and the first exhaust pipe 56 to form a negative pressure, so that the cover plate can be adsorbed in cooperation with the elastic cover 54. Then, start the first electric push rod 3 to drive the elastic cover 54 to move upward. At the same time, the first motor 43 drives the lever 42 to rotate towards the outside or inside of the cardboard box through the first rotating rod. In this way, the cover plate can be flipped from the inside of the cardboard box to the outside or the cover plate can be flipped from the outside of the cardboard box to the top of the cardboard box to complete the capping operation. And because the circular block 53 can rotate itself, and at the same time, the circular block 53 can move along the length direction of the lever 42 under the action of the moving mechanism 51, so that after the elastic cover 54 adsorbs the cover plate, it can still drive the cover plate to flip smoothly, avoiding deformation of the cover plate or generating a large pulling force on the cover plate to pull the cardboard box to shift, ensuring that the automatic packaging work can be carried out smoothly and reliably.

[0053] And when the lever 42 drives the cover plate to flip, start the second motor 61 to drive the rotating plate 62 to swing along a plane parallel to the side surface of the lever 42, so that the hook plate 64 can push the cover plate to flip, thus stably pushing the cover plate to flip.

[0054] At the same time, start the third electric push rod 651 to extend to push the push block 652 to move away from the fixed rod 41. The push block 652 drives the two hook plates 64 to extend out of the accommodation cavity 63 through the hinge rod 653, the through groove 654 and the limit post 655. In this way, it can be ensured that the hook plates 64 extend out and hook up the cover plate that is nearly parallel to the plane of the conveyor belt 11, so as to cooperate with the elastic cover 54 to drive the cover plate to flip more smoothly and reliably together, ensuring that the automatic packaging work can be carried out smoothly.

[0055] And when the hook plate 64 rotates to the overlapping position with the rotating plate 62, the third electric push rod 651 contracts to drive the hook plate 64 to retract into the accommodation cavity 63. In this way, when the rotating plate 62 pushes the cover plate to flip and the overlapping length between the rotating plate 62 and the cover plate is the largest, the acting force between the rotating plate 62 and the side surface of the cover plate can be reduced, protecting the cover plate from being scratched during the flipping process, improving the reliability and safety of the packaging equipment.

[0056] And the robotic arm drives the grasping tooling 24 to move to continuously grasp the bottom foam board, electronic products or top foam board, and then the grasping tooling 24, driven by the robotic arm, smoothly and orderly loads the grasped bottom foam board, electronic products or top foam board into the carton. Subsequently, the carton is conveyed by the conveyor belt 11 to the next process, thus successfully completing the automatic transportation and packaging work of the electronic products.
