Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of packaging box unpacking auxiliary equipment, and in particular to a packaging box cable tie shearing and recycling integrated robot and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and tobacco industries, materials are often packed into boxes and secured with cable ties for easy storage and transportation. During unpacking, the boxes must first be transported to a designated work location, where the cable ties are cut and retracted before the materials can be opened. Currently, the cable ties are primarily cut and retracted manually during unpacking. Manual cable tie cutting and retraction require significant physical effort due to the large and heavy boxes, resulting in extremely low work efficiency and difficulty meeting the needs of large-scale production. Using robotic unpacking also presents numerous problems: Most existing robots place cable tie cutting and retraction at two separate workstations, resulting in a complex overall structure that increases equipment costs and makes control more difficult. During cable tie removal, some ties can become trapped between the bottom of the box and the conveyor, preventing them from being properly removed and requiring manual intervention, reducing the degree of automation. Furthermore, cable ties can be missed, resulting in a low success rate for cutting and retraction. Furthermore, inaccurate positioning or improper operation during cable tie positioning and cutting can damage the box, impacting the quality of the box and the materials inside.

[0011] The present invention also provides a control method for a packaging box tie shearing and recycling integrated robot, which is applied to the above-mentioned packaging box tie shearing and recycling integrated robot, and specifically comprises the following steps: Step S1: When the material conveyor conveys the packaging box to be processed to the clamping machine position, the clamping machine starts to firmly clamp the packaging box and lift it to facilitate the subsequent smooth recovery of the cable tie, so as to prevent some of the cable tie from being pressed between the packaging box and the material conveyor and unable to be extracted; Step S2: The laser positioning device on the mobile arm emits a laser beam to accurately detect the distance between the cutting and recycling device and the packaging box, and feeds back the detection data. According to the detection data fed back by the laser positioning device, the horizontal linear module and the feed linear module are controlled to work together to drive the cutting and recycling device and the laser positioning device to approach the packaging box. The laser positioning device continuously collects the distance data between the cutting and recycling device and the packaging box, and adjusts the feed distance of the feed linear module according to the data collected by the laser positioning device to stop it at an appropriate position. At this time, the cutting insertion plate of the cutting and recycling device slightly squeezes the packaging box to facilitate the subsequent insertion and picking up of the cable tie; Step S3: Control the transverse linear module to drive the cable cutter recovery device to move transversely along the surface of the packaging box, so that the cable cutter insertion plate is inserted into the gap between the packaging box and the cable tie, thereby picking up the cable tie, and detecting the height change between the cable tie bundling position and the actual height of the packaging box through the laser positioning device, and obtaining the position information of the cable tie on the side of the packaging box. According to the position information fed back by the laser positioning device, the motion parameters of the transverse linear module are adjusted again, so that the cable tie moves to the preset cable cutter position on the surface of the cable cutter insertion plate, that is, the side edge of the cable tie is close to the cable tie limit block provided on the surface of the cable cutter insertion plate, in preparation for the cable cutter operation; Step S4: Control the roller moving electric cylinder to drive the large roller close to the small roller provided on the front end surface of the cutting tape insertion plate to clamp the cable tie at the cutting tape position to ensure that the cable tie remains stable and prevents deviation during the cutting process. Then control the cutting tape moving electric cylinder to drive the cutting tape tool close to the cable tie, and at the same time start the tool motor to drive the cutting tape tool to rotate to quickly cut the cable tie. Finally, control the cutting tape moving electric cylinder to drive the cutting tape tool to retreat to leave working space for the extraction and recovery operation. At the same time, control the feed linear module to drive the cutting tape recovery device to retreat to ensure that the cable tie can accurately fall into the cable tie recovery box when it is recovered. Step S5: After the preset time for the tape cutting operation in step S4 ends, the large roller motor and the small roller motor are both started, and the large roller and the small roller are driven to rotate synchronously in opposite directions through the transmission of the synchronous belt, so that the cut cable ties are extracted and collected in the cable tie recycling box. Subsequently, the roller moving electric cylinder is controlled to drive the large roller to reset, completing one tape extraction action. Finally, the horizontal linear module is controlled to drive the tape cutting and recycling device to move a distance in a direction parallel to the side of the packaging box, and steps S2 to S5 are repeated to complete the cutting and recycling of all cable ties. Step S6: The clamping machine drives the packaging box with all the cable ties cut off to descend and place it on the material conveyor to be transferred to the next process.

The present invention optimizes the operation process of the integrated manipulator of the present invention through continuous operation actions such as laser positioning, cable tie lifting, gap insertion, cable tie pressing, cable tie cutting, and cable tie extraction and recovery, thereby shortening the action interval and operation time; 3. When the clamping machine of the present invention clamps and lifts the packaging box, there is no obstruction when the cable tie is cut, and the cable tie can be easily collected. The laser positioning device of the present invention can accurately detect the height difference between the height of the packaging box where the cable tie is tied and the actual height of the packaging box where the cable tie is not tied, so as to locate the position of the cable tie on the packaging box, avoid missing the cable tie during the cutting and recycling process, and improve the success rate of cutting and collecting. The laser positioning device can also accurately detect the distance between the cutting and recycling device and the packaging box, providing a basis for accurately adjusting the motion parameters of the horizontal linear module and the feed linear module, thereby avoiding damage to the packaging box surface, extending the recycling period of the packaging box, and improving economic benefits.

The laser positioning device 4 continuously collects the distance data between the cutting tape recovery device and the packaging box 6, and adjusts the feeding distance of the feed linear module 2 according to the data collected by the laser positioning device 4 to stop it at an appropriate position. At this time, the cutting tape insertion plate 5 of the cutting tape recovery device slightly squeezes the packaging box 6 to facilitate the subsequent insertion and picking up of the cable tie 61; Step S3: Control the transverse linear module 11 to drive the cutting and recovering device to move transversely along the surface of the packaging box 6, so that the cutting insertion plate 5 is inserted into the gap between the packaging box 6 and the cable tie 61, thereby picking up the cable tie 61, and detecting the height change between the binding position of the cable tie 61 and the actual height of the packaging box 6 through the laser positioning device 4, and obtaining the position information of the cable tie 61 on the side of the packaging box 6, so as to adjust the motion parameters of the transverse linear module 11 again according to the position information fed back by the laser positioning device 4, so that the cable tie 61 moves to the preset cutting position on the surface of the cutting insertion plate 5, that is, the side edge of the cable tie 61 is close to the cable tie 61 limit block 51 provided on the surface of the cutting insertion plate 5, in preparation for the cutting operation; Step S4: Control the roller moving electric cylinder 35 to drive the large roller 31 close to the small roller 33 provided on the front end surface of the cutting tape insertion plate 5 to clamp the cable tie 61 at the cutting tape position to ensure that the cable tie 61 remains stable and prevents deviation during the cutting process. Then control the cable tie moving electric cylinder 23 to drive the cable tie cutting tool 21 close to the cable tie 61, and start the tool motor 22 at the same time to drive the cable tie cutting tool 21 to rotate to quickly cut the cable tie 61. Finally, control the cable tie moving electric cylinder 23 to drive the cable tie cutting tool 21 to retreat to leave working space for the extraction and recovery operation. At the same time, control the feed linear module 2 to drive the cable tie recovery device to retreat to ensure that the cable tie 61 can accurately fall into the cable tie recovery box 9 when it is recovered. Step S5: After the preset time period for the tape cutting operation in step S4 ends, the large roller motor 32 and the small roller motor 34 are both started, and the large roller 31 and the small roller 33 are driven to rotate synchronously in opposite directions through the transmission of the synchronous belt, so that the cut cable ties 61 are extracted and collected in the cable tie recovery box 9. Subsequently, the roller moving electric cylinder 35 is controlled to drive the large roller 31 to reset, completing one tape extraction action. Finally, the horizontal linear module 11 is controlled to drive the tape cutting and recovery device to move a distance in a direction parallel to the side of the packaging box 6, and steps S2 to S5 are repeated to complete the shearing and recovery of all cable ties 61. Step S6: the clamping machine 7 drives the packaging box 6 with all the cable ties 61 cut off to descend and place it on the material conveyor 8 to be transferred to the next process.
