Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of paper packaging box production equipment, and in particular to a box collecting machine with the function of flipping and arranging boxes in an orderly manner. Background Art

[0002] In the packaging and printing industry, the folder gluing machine is the last step in the packaging box processing. It is used to fold the printed and die-cut cardboard into shape and glue the edges together. After gluing, the paper box formed is in a flat state. However, after the current folder gluing machine completes the box gluing operation, the final box collection link still relies on manual operation. Due to the high operating speed of the folder gluing machine, one machine often needs to be equipped with multiple workers to collect and pack the boxes, which not only leads to high labor costs, but also workers are in a high-intensity working state for a long time, and the labor intensity is extremely high.

[0003] Based on the above situation, in order to solve the problem of manual box collection at the end of the box gluing machine, the existing technology with patent number CN201920755566.3 proposes an automatic box collection device for the box gluing machine. The device is arranged at the end of the conveying part of the box gluing machine. The paper boxes output by the conveying part are adjusted from a lying state to a standing state through a posture adjustment mechanism, and then the standing paper boxes are collected and arranged into stacks by a collecting mechanism. Among them, the posture adjustment mechanism adopts a guide rail type linear pressure belt mechanism, which completes the posture adjustment of the paper box during the conveying process by twisting the belt 90 degrees; the collecting mechanism cooperates with the conveying mechanism and the synchronous rule mechanism to realize the neat collection of the paper boxes.

[0004] Although the existing automatic box collection device can automatically collect and stack cartons, it still has obvious shortcomings in actual application. Specifically, when workers take stacks of cartons from the collection mechanism, they cannot intuitively know the specific number of cartons taken each time and need to count them by themselves. This process not only increases the workload of workers, but also reduces the transfer efficiency of stacks of cartons. As a result, while the existing technology improves the degree of automation, it fails to fully meet the requirements for efficiency and convenience in actual production. Summary of the Invention

[0007] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate are respectively provided with fixing grooves for engaging with the upper and lower edges of the dividing conveyor belt, and fixing screws corresponding to the fixing grooves. The upper and lower edges of the dividing conveyor belt are penetrated with fixing holes corresponding to the fixing grooves of the mounting plate. The fixing screws penetrate the fixing groove of the mounting plate and the dividing conveyor belt in the fixing groove to fix the dividing plate on the dividing conveyor belt.

[0008] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a self-lubricating and arc-shaped conductive slide plate is provided inside the power receiving seat, and the conductive slide plate slides in cooperation with the conductive sliding bar.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the partition assembly is respectively provided with front paper baffles connected to the frame at the discharge ends of the upper clamping belt and the lower clamping belt, the two front paper baffles are arranged parallel to each other, and the two front paper baffles are respectively provided with front rotating channels for the partition plate to rotate through on one side close to the discharge ends of the upper clamping belt and the lower clamping belt.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the discharge end of the partition component is provided with a U-shaped storage plate connected to the frame and located above the conveyor belt. The U-shaped storage plate and the conveyor belt below it are combined to form a storage groove. The end position of the U-shaped storage plate on the side close to the discharge end of the partition component is provided with a rear rotating channel for the partition plate to rotate through.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the top surface of the U-shaped storage plate is symmetrically provided with slide grooves, a partition slide is provided inside the storage groove, and both ends of the partition slide are arranged in the slide groove and can slide in cooperation with the slide groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: Through the coordinated action of the clamping and flipping components and the symmetrical partition components, the automatic adjustment and quantitative separation of the cartons from a lying position to a standing position are realized.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a box collecting machine with the function of flipping and arranging neatly, comprising a frame 1, a clamping and flipping component 2 arranged on the frame 1, a conveying component 3 arranged perpendicular to the clamping and flipping component 2 and connected to the frame 1, a partition component 4 connected to the frame 1 is symmetrically arranged above the conveying component 3, and the partition component 4 is arranged parallel to the conveying component 3 up and down, the clamping and flipping component 2 comprises an upper clamping belt 21 and a lower clamping belt 22 pressed together, a front guide wheel 23 and a rear guide wheel 24 respectively arranged along the conveying path of the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22, the portion where the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22 are pressed together is provided with a number of flipping guide wheels 25 which gradually transition from horizontal installation to vertical installation along the material conveying direction, the conveying component 3 comprises a conveying belt 31 symmetrically arranged below the partitioning component 4, a driving pulley 32 and a driven pulley 34 arranged at both ends of the conveying belt 31 and transmission connected to the conveying belt 31. The partition assembly 4 includes a partition conveyor belt 41 arranged perpendicular to the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 31, a partition plate 42 arranged at equal intervals along the conveying path of the partition conveyor belt 41 and installed perpendicular to the conveying surface of the partition conveyor belt 41, a retractable pushing assembly 5 is installed inside the partition plate 42, a guide rail 45 parallel to the partition conveyor belt 41 is provided on the inner side of the partition conveyor belt 41, and the partition plate 42 is provided with a mounting plate 422 for connecting to the partition conveyor belt 41, and the mounting plate 422 A pulley 423 capable of cooperating with the guide rail 45 is provided at the upper end thereof, and an arc-shaped conductive slide 452 parallel to the guide rail 45 is insulated and installed above the end of the guide rail 45 close to the discharge end of the clamping and flipping component 2. An electric receiving seat 424 connected to the mounting plate 422 is provided between the pulleys 423 at the upper end of the mounting plate 422, and the pushing component 5 is electrically connected to the conductive slide 452 through the electric receiving seat 424. An industrial camera 6 for counting is provided above the feed end of the partition component 4.

[0025] The upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22 in the clamping and flipping assembly 2 of the present invention cooperate with the flipping guide wheel 25 to automatically adjust the conveyed paper boxes from a lying state to a standing state, which is convenient for the subsequent quantitative separation and collection of paper boxes. The symmetrically arranged separation assembly 4 drives the separation plate 42 to rotate synchronously through the separation conveyor belt 41. With the cooperation of the counting function of the industrial camera 6, the paper boxes in the standing state can be separated into the separation groove formed by the four adjacent front and rear separation plates 42 according to the preset number, thereby realizing the quantitative stacking of paper boxes. Workers can directly obtain the quantitative paper box stacks from the storage groove 471 formed by the U-shaped storage plate 47 and the conveyor belt 31 without manual counting, which greatly reduces the workload and improves the transfer efficiency.

[0026] The push assembly 5 in the partition plate 42 of the present invention is electrically connected to the conductive slide 452 via the electric base 424. When the partition plate 42 passes through the front rotating channel 461, the electromagnet 421 attracts the permanent magnet 55 to cause the push plate 52 to retract into the receiving groove 51, thereby avoiding interference with the reception and separation of the paper boxes. When the partition plate 42 completes the reception of the paper boxes and enters the conveying working position, the electromagnet 421 is de-energized, and the spring 54 ejects the push plate 52, so that the paper boxes in the partition groove are tightly arranged to prevent tipping or displacement. To ensure that the cartons are transported stably along the conveyor belt 31, the guide rail 45 in the partition assembly 4 cooperates with the pulley 423 to ensure the stability of the operation of the partition plate 42. The front rotation channel 461 and the rear rotation channel 472 on the front baffle board 46 and the U-shaped storage plate 47 provide a smooth path for the rotation of the partition plate 42. The slide groove 473 on the top of the U-shaped storage plate 47 cooperates with the partition slide 474, so that workers can further separate the cartons in the storage groove 471 after a certain number of them accumulate, making it convenient for workers to take them as needed.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in the structure of the clamping and flipping assembly 2, a front guide wheel 23 and a rear guide wheel 24 are arranged on the conveying path of the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22, the front guide wheel 23 is arranged at the feed end of the clamping and flipping assembly 2 and is arranged horizontally, the rear guide wheel 24 is arranged at the discharge end of the clamping and flipping assembly 2 and is arranged vertically, and the flipping guide wheel 25 is arranged along the material conveying direction with a gradual transition from horizontal installation to vertical installation, so that the mutually pressed part of the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22 is flipped from horizontal to vertical, and the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22 are both provided with a driving wheel 26 with a transmission connection on the frame 1, and the driving wheel 26 is provided with a corresponding motor (not shown), and the motor drives the driving wheel 26 to rotate, thereby driving the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22 to run respectively.

[0028] It should be noted that the motor drives the active wheel 26 to drive the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22 to run. The carton enters from the feed end of the clamping and flipping component 2 and is clamped and conveyed by the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22. The front guide wheel 23 is horizontally arranged at the feed end, and the rear guide wheel 24 is vertically arranged at the discharge end. The flipping guide wheel 25 along the material conveying direction is gradually installed from horizontal to vertical, so that the mutually pressed part of the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22 gradually changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22 clamp the carton through friction and twist synchronously. When the carton moves to the discharge end, its posture is flipped 90° from a lying state to a standing state, realizing automatic posture conversion during carton conveying.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, in the structure of the conveying assembly 3, the conveying assembly 3 includes a conveying belt 31 symmetrically arranged below the partition assembly 4, a driving pulley 32 and a driven pulley 34 arranged at both ends of the conveying belt 31 and transmission-connected to the conveying belt 31, the driving pulleys 32 corresponding to the two conveying belts 31 are connected to the first motor 36 mounted on the frame 1 through the same first rotating shaft 33, and the driven pulleys 34 corresponding to the two conveying belts 31 are connected through the same second rotating shaft 35, and both ends of the second rotating shaft 35 are rotationally connected to the frame 1.

[0030] It should be noted that the structure of the present invention should also include a controller (not shown), which is electrically connected to electrical components such as the industrial camera 6, the second motor 48, the first motor 36, and the motor of the clamping and flipping assembly 2. The controller can receive the counting signal of the industrial camera 6, control the start and stop of the partition conveyor belt 41 and the operating rhythm of the partition plate 42 according to the preset number, and coordinate the operation of the motor driving the active wheel 26 to realize the linkage between the clamping and flipping assembly 2 and the partition assembly 4, thereby ensuring the automated operation of the carton posture adjustment, quantitative separation and storage process.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 ,and Figure 5 As shown, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the inner side of the dividing conveyor belt 41 is connected to a conveying card strip 412, and the inner sides of both ends of the dividing conveyor belt 41 are provided with conveying rollers 43 that are transmission-connected to the dividing conveyor belt 41, and the surface of the conveying roller 43 is provided with an annular card groove 431 that cooperates with the conveying card strip 412, and a second motor 48 that is transmission-connected to the conveying roller 43 at the feed end of the dividing conveyor belt 41 is provided below the conveying roller 43.

[0032] The conveying card strip 412 on the inner side of the separating conveyor belt 41 cooperates with the annular card groove 431 on the surface of the conveyor roller 43. When the second motor 48 drives the conveyor roller 43 at the feed end to rotate, the conveying card strip 412 is embedded in the annular card groove 431 and runs synchronously, which can effectively prevent the separating conveyor belt 41 from slipping, deviation, etc. during the transmission process, and ensure that the separating conveyor belt 41 stably drives the dividing plate 42 to move accurately along the preset path, so that the dividing plate 42 can accurately match the counting signal of the industrial camera 6 and the action rhythm of the pushing component 5, ensuring that the paper boxes are quantitatively separated into the independent space formed by the adjacent dividing plates 42 during the conveying process, and ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the entire quantitative stacking process.

[0033] like Figure 7As shown, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 422 are respectively provided with fixing grooves for engaging with the upper and lower edges of the dividing conveyor belt 41, and fixing screws 44 corresponding to the fixing grooves, and the upper and lower edges of the dividing conveyor belt 41 are penetrated by fixing holes 411 corresponding to the fixing grooves of the mounting plate 422, and the fixing screws 44 penetrate the fixing grooves of the mounting plate 422 and the dividing conveyor belt 41 in the fixing grooves to fix the partition plate 42 on the dividing conveyor belt 41.

[0034] The fixing slots at the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 422 are connected to the fixing holes 411 on the edge of the dividing conveyor belt 41 via fixing screws 44, forming a detachable fixing structure. When the number of cartons to be stacked needs to be adjusted, the number of installed separators 42 can be increased or decreased to accommodate cartons of varying cumulative thickness. After loosening the fixing screws 44, the excess separators 42 can be removed or new separators 42 can be installed along the edge of the dividing conveyor belt 41. The separators 42 can then be re-secured to the dividing conveyor belt 41 by aligning the fixing slots with the fixing holes 411 and tightening the fixing screws 44. This allows for flexible adjustment of the number of separators 42, allowing the equipment to adapt to different quantitative palletizing requirements.

[0035] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 4 , as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a self-lubricating and arc-shaped conductive slide 425 is provided inside the power receiving seat 424 , and the conductive slide 425 slides in cooperation with the conductive slide bar 452 .

[0036] The self-lubricating arc-shaped conductive slide 425 in the electric base 424 is installed parallel to the guide rail 45. When the separation conveyor belt 41 drives the separation plate 42 to run, the electric base 424 moves with the separation plate 42. The conductive slide 425 maintains sliding contact with the arc-shaped conductive slide 452 to form a conductive path, so that the electromagnet 421 is energized to attract the permanent magnet 55, so that the spring 54 is compressed, thereby allowing the push plate 52 to retract into the receiving groove 51, avoiding the separation plate 42 from interfering with the paper box when passing through the front rotating channel 461; when the electric base 4 When 24 slides away from the conductive slide bar 452, the circuit is disconnected, the electromagnet 421 loses power and the attraction to the permanent magnet 55 disappears, and the spring 54 pushes the push plate 52 to pop out, pushing the paper box in the partition slot tightly. Through the sliding conductive characteristics of the conductive slide plate 425 and the conductive slide bar 452, the pushing component 5 automatically switches the action state according to the running position of the partition plate 42. The self-lubricating design reduces sliding friction, and the arc adaptation ensures the stability of the conductive contact, ensuring that the pushing component 5 accurately executes the contraction or pop-up action in different working stages.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the partition assembly 4 is respectively provided with front paper baffles 46 connected to the frame 1 at the discharge ends of the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22, and the two front paper baffles 46 are arranged in parallel with each other. The two front paper baffles 46 are respectively provided with front rotating channels 461 on one side close to the discharge ends of the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22, through which the partition plate 42 can rotate.

[0038] The front paper baffle 46 provided at the discharge end of the clamping and flipping assembly 2 of the partition assembly 4 forms a limiting channel through two parallel baffles, which laterally locates and guides the standing paper boxes output from the clamping and flipping assembly 2, preventing the paper boxes from deflecting or tipping over when entering the partition assembly 4, and ensuring that the paper boxes accurately move along the preset path to between the partition plates 42. The front rotating channel 461 of the front paper baffle 46 near the discharge end is shaped to match the rotation trajectory of the partition plates 42. When the partition conveyor belt 41 drives the partition plates 42 to run, the partition plates 42 are allowed to rotate smoothly from the horizontal conveying state into the limiting area between the front paper baffles 46, avoiding interference between the partition plates 42 and the front paper baffles 46. At the same time, the industrial camera 6 is used to accurately count the paper boxes entering the limiting channel, so that the partition plates 42 can receive and separate the paper boxes according to the preset number, ensuring the orderly progress of the quantitative stacking process.

[0039] When the paper box in a standing state is transported to the discharge port by the upper clamping belt 21 and the lower clamping belt 22 of the clamping and turning assembly 2, the parallel front paper plate 46 is used to form a limiting channel for the paper box to be laterally positioned and guided, so that it moves along the preset path between the partition plates 42. Under the transportation of the conveyor belt 31 and the support of the partition plates 42, the paper boxes are neatly arranged in a standing state at the discharge port of the clamping and turning assembly 2. In the process of gradual rotation and tilting of the partition plates 42, the partition conveyor belt 41 drives the partition plates 42 to gradually approach the discharge port. During the process, the electric seat 424 contacts the conductive slide bar 452, the electromagnet 421 is energized to attract the permanent magnet 55, and the push plate 52 is retracted into the partition plate 42. The partition plate 42 makes a semi-circular motion at the end of the partition conveyor belt 41 near the discharge port, so that the plate tip gradually tilts toward the discharge port of the clamping and turning assembly 2 and enters the waiting state through the front rotating channel 461.

[0040] When the tip of the partition plate 42 exceeds the front rotating channel 461, it starts to receive the paper boxes, and the industrial camera 6 counts the received paper boxes in real time. After accumulating to a preset number, the next partition plate 42 rotates synchronously in a semicircle under the drive of the partition conveyor belt 41, and its tip tilts beyond the front rotating channel 461 and starts the next reception. At the same time, the previous batch of paper box stacks that have been received are separated into the separation grooves formed by the four adjacent partition plates 42 in the front and rear. Then the partition plate 42 drives the receiving seat 424 to disengage from the conductive slide 452, the circuit is disconnected, the electromagnet 421 loses power, and the spring 54 pushes the push plate 52 to pop out, pressing the paper boxes in the separation groove tightly to prevent them from tipping over during transportation. The partition plate 42 continues to run in a straight line with the partition conveyor belt 41, and cooperates with the conveyor belt 31 to gradually transport the quantitative paper box stacks to the storage groove 471 of the U-shaped storage plate 47.

[0041] It should be noted that the industrial camera 6 is an existing technology, which is installed above the feed end of the partition component 4, with the lens facing the standing cartons delivered from the discharge end of the clamping and flipping component 2. The industrial camera 6 collects the images of the cartons flowing through its field of view in real time, and uses a built-in or external image processing system to identify and count individual cartons in the image; when the number of continuous cartons identified reaches the separation number value preset by the controller, the industrial camera 6 will send a counting completion signal to the controller; based on this signal, the controller controls the second motor 48 to drive the separation conveyor belt 41 to drive the separation plate 42 to move one separation station in a stepwise manner, ensuring that the next separation plate 42 is in place in time to receive a new batch of cartons, and at the same time, the separation slot filled with a preset number of cartons is moved out of the receiving area and into the conveying state, thereby realizing automatic and quantitative stacking of cartons.

[0042] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the discharge end of the partition component 4 is provided with a U-shaped receiving plate 47 connected to the frame 1 and located above the conveyor belt 31, and the U-shaped receiving plate 47 and the conveyor belt 31 thereunder are combined to form a receiving groove 471, and the end position of the U-shaped receiving plate 47 on the side close to the discharge end of the partition component 4 is provided with a rear rotating channel 472 through which the partition plate 42 can rotate.

[0043] Furthermore, in the above structure, the top surface of the U-shaped storage plate 47 is symmetrically provided with a slide groove 473, and a partition slide 474 is provided inside the storage groove 471. Both ends of the partition slide 474 are provided in the slide groove 473 and can slide in cooperation with the slide groove 473.

[0044] The U-shaped receiving plate 47 and the conveyor belt 31 below form a receiving groove 471, which is used to receive the quantitative paper box stack output by the partition component 4. The rear rotation channel 472 near the discharge end of the partition component 4 allows the partition plate 42 that has completed the paper box separation to rotate smoothly through the channel to detach from the receiving groove 471, avoiding interference with the stored paper box stack and ensuring the circulation of the partition plate 42.

[0045] The chute 473 on the top of the U-shaped storage plate 47 cooperates with the dividing slide 474 in the storage groove 471. In the initial state, the dividing slide 474 is located at the feeding end. When the dividing plate 42 pushes the paper box stack from the feeding end into the storage groove 471, the paper box stack pushes the dividing slide 474 to slide in the chute 473. When the paper box stack in the storage groove 471 accumulates to a specified number, the worker can place another dividing slide 474 between the currently accumulated paper box stack and the subsequent paper box stack that is about to enter, and embed the two ends into the chute 473, so that the paper boxes of different stacks can be separated. The boxes are separated in independent areas, which makes it convenient for workers to directly take the currently accumulated stack of cartons without affecting the continued accumulation of the next stack of cartons in the storage slot 471. The partitioned storage of the stack of cartons in the storage slot 471 is achieved through the sliding adjustment of the partition slide 474. Because the number of cartons in each stack entering the storage slot 471 is fixed, the workers can know the number of cartons in the accumulated stack of cartons, thereby ensuring that the workers can clearly know the number of cartons in each stack, and ensuring the continuity of the stacking process, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of carton transfer.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the pushing assembly 5 includes a push plate 52 arranged in the partition plate 42 and capable of popping out along the feeding direction, a spring 54 connected to the partition plate 42 and the push plate 52 at both ends, and a permanent magnet 55 arranged inside the push plate 52. The partition plate 42 is provided with a mounting groove 53 for installing the spring 54 and a receiving groove 51 for accommodating the push plate 52. The partition plate 42 is provided with an electromagnet 421 that attracts the permanent magnet 55. The electromagnet 421 is electrically connected to the conductive slide 452 through the receiving seat 424.

[0047] In the pushing assembly 5, the push plate 52 can slide in the partition plate 42 along the feeding direction, and the permanent magnet 55 inside it cooperates with the electromagnet 421 in the partition plate 42 through magnetic attraction. The two ends of the spring 54 are respectively connected to the partition plate 42 and the push plate 52 to form an elastic telescopic structure. When the partition plate 42 runs with the partition conveyor belt 41 to the vicinity of the discharge end of the clamping and flipping assembly 2, the receiving seat 424 contacts the conductive slide 452 and is energized. The electromagnet 421 attracts the permanent magnet 55, so that the push plate 52 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 54 and shrinks into the receiving groove 51 to avoid interference with the paper box when receiving the paper box; when the partition plate 42 leaves the conductive slide 4 After 52, the circuit is disconnected, the electromagnet 421 loses power, and the spring 54 resets to push the push plate 52 to pop out in the feeding direction, tightly pressing the cartons in the partition groove formed by the adjacent partition plates 42, so that they are arranged closely in a standing state, preventing the cartons from tipping over or shifting during transportation with the conveyor belt 31. Through the magnetic coupling between the electromagnet 421 and the permanent magnet 55 and the elastic effect of the spring 54, the push plate 52 is automatically extended and retracted in different operating stages of the partition plate 42, ensuring the smoothness of the cartons when receiving and the stability during transportation, and cooperating with the counting function of the industrial camera 6 to ensure that the quantitatively stacked cartons maintain a regular posture in the partition groove.

It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
