DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. In the description of the utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an automatic packaging device for cotton swab production includes a center frame 1, a lifting and translation mechanism 4 is provided on the top of the center frame, a clamp is connected to the lifting and translation mechanism, a camera is provided at the bottom left side of the center frame, a feed conveyor 2 is placed directly below the camera, a discharge conveyor 3 is provided directly below the center frame, a packaging box is placed on the discharge conveyor, the clamp includes a mounting plate 47, a plurality of suction cups 48 are installed on the mounting plate, the suction cups are connected to a vacuum generator through an air pipe, and a clamping cylinder 49 is provided on each side of the mounting plate. When the suction cup absorbs the cotton swab through the vacuum suction generated by the vacuum generator, the clamping cylinder will also generate a certain clamping force on the cotton swab, which can better ensure the stability of the cotton swab during the absorption and movement process. This double clamping design not only ensures the efficiency of packaging, but also avoids damage and waste of the cotton swab during the transmission process.

[0018] The camera and the feed conveyor work together to ensure the accurate supply of cotton swabs. The camera monitors the cotton swabs on the feed conveyor in real time. Once the cotton swabs are found to be arranged irregularly or insufficient in number, a signal will be immediately sent to notify the lifting and translation mechanism and the clamp to make corresponding adjustments. This intelligent monitoring and adjustment mechanism greatly improves the automation and production efficiency of the device.

[0019] In at least one embodiment, the lifting and translation mechanism includes a slide rail 41, on which a slider 42 is slidably matched. The sliding fit between the slide rail and the slider allows the entire mechanism to move smoothly in the horizontal direction. A fixed frame 43 is installed on the two sliders, and a linear motor slide 44 is provided on the left side of the fixed frame. A vertical connecting plate 46 is installed on the slide of the linear motor slide. A clamp is provided at the bottom of the vertical connecting plate to achieve precise movement of the clamp in the vertical direction. The fixed frame is connected to a horizontal electric cylinder 45, which is fixedly connected to the center frame. This free movement in three-dimensional space allows the clamp to easily clamp and arrange cotton swabs in different positions, greatly improving the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0020] In at least one embodiment, the discharge conveyor is provided with a push plate mechanism, which includes a push plate electric cylinder 61, and the telescopic rod of the push plate electric cylinder is connected to a lifting plate 62. In conjunction with the push plate, the discharge conveyor includes an intermediate plate 31, and the push plate electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the intermediate plate. The packaging box here is composed of an outer shell 51 and an inner sliding box 52. The outer shell is designed to be able to slide with the inner sliding box. When the packaging box reaches the position of the lifting plate with the movement of the discharge conveyor, the telescopic rod of the push plate electric cylinder will extend on time. This action ensures that the lifting plate can stably limit the movement of the inner sliding box, while the outer shell can continue to move forward with the movement of the discharge conveyor. This unique design ensures that the outer shell and the inner sliding box can overlap in an ideal way at the right time, thereby successfully completing the packaging process. This series of mechanical structure movements not only improves production efficiency, but also ensures product quality.

[0021] In order to further improve the stability and precision of the device, a guide mechanism is provided between the middle plate and the lifting plate.

[0022] The solution is refined, the guide mechanism includes an outer tube 64 and an inner rod 63, the inner rod is slidably fitted inside the outer tube, the bottom of the outer tube is fixedly connected to the middle plate, and the top of the inner rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate. This structure ensures the stability and accuracy of the lifting plate during the lifting process, and avoids errors caused by mechanical vibration or position offset.

[0023] The steps for using the automatic packaging device for cotton swab production are as follows:

[0024] 1. Place the cotton swabs on the feed conveyor and ensure that the camera can monitor the arrangement and quantity of the cotton swabs in real time.

[0025] 2. Start the device, and the lifting and translation mechanism starts to work. Through the sliding cooperation of the slide rail and the slider, the clamp can move smoothly in the horizontal direction.

[0026] 3. The clamper stably clamps the cotton swab through the vacuum suction force generated by the vacuum generator and the clamping force of the clamping cylinder.

[0027] 4. The lifting and translation mechanism continues to move, accurately moving the clamp in the vertical direction to move the clamped cotton swab to the predetermined position.

[0028] 5. The discharging conveyor starts working and delivers the arranged cotton swabs into the packaging box.

[0029] 6. When the packaging box reaches the position of the lifting plate as the unloading conveyor moves, the telescopic rod of the push plate electric cylinder extends to ensure that the lifting plate can stably limit the movement of the inner sliding box, while the outer shell continues to move forward.

[0030] 7. The outer shell and the inner sliding box are matched and overlapped in an ideal way at the right moment to complete the packaging process.

[0031] Except for the technical features described in the specification, all other technical features are known technologies to those skilled in the art.
