[0028] The first XZ moving mechanism and the second XZ moving mechanism are relatively mature existing technologies, and their structural principles are not described in detail here. It is only necessary to drive their own moving ends to move along the X-axis and the Z-axis.
[0029] A vacuum generator is provided on the frame, and a connecting pipe is connected between the vacuum suction cup and the vacuum generator. It is a relatively mature prior art to put the vacuum suction cup in a vacuum adsorption state through the vacuum generator, and its structural principle will not be described in detail here.
[0030] Specifically, when the lid of the candy box is in a closed state, it is in a connected state covering the opening of the box body, and the edge of the lid protrudes from the box body. At this time, the candy box with the lid in the closed state is placed in the clamp, and the clamp clamps the box body of the candy box, and then the stepper motor cooperates with the rotating platform to make the rotating platform perform a circular intermittent rotation, and then the clamp on the rotating platform rotates accordingly and flows through the lid opening device and the box closing output device in sequence, and then cooperates with the ejector rod through the first XZ moving mechanism in the switch device, so that the ejector rod moves to abut against the lower edge of the lid of the candy box and continues to move to cause it to flip open, thereby realizing the automatic opening of the candy box lid;
[0031] After the candy box is filled with candies, the lid is first moved and driven by the cover-pushing mechanism of the box closing and outputting device to make the lid flip over and be in a state of pre-closing on the candy box body. At this time, the second XZ moving mechanism in the cover pressing moving mechanism cooperates with the vacuum suction cup to move the vacuum suction cup and press and adsorb on the upper side of the candy box lid. At this time, the lid is pressed from top to bottom by the vacuum suction cup and is in a closed state completely closed to the candy box body, thereby realizing the fully automatic closing of the candy box lid. At the same time, the vacuum suction cup cooperates with the second XZ moving mechanism to directly grab and convey the candy box out of the clamp, thereby simultaneously realizing the automatic output of the filled candy box, which greatly improves the production efficiency and meets the production needs.
[0032] Furthermore, the clamp 23 includes a fixed seat 41 and a positioning groove 42 recessed on one side of the fixed seat 41, a slide rail 43 arranged on the rotating platform 21, a first slider 44 movably arranged on the slide rail 43, and a first cylinder 45 for driving the first slider 44 to move axially along the slide rail 43, and a clamp 46 is provided on the first slider 44 corresponding to the positioning groove 42, and the clamp 46 moves with the first slider 44 to press and clamp the box body of the candy box in the positioning groove 42.
[0033] Specifically, the candy box is placed in the positioning groove, and at this time, the candy box is placed in a state where one side partially protrudes out of the positioning groove. The first cylinder is used to drive the first slider to move axially along the slide rail, thereby driving the clip on the first slider to move and clamp the candy box body in the positioning groove, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of the candy box in the positioning groove.
[0034] Furthermore, an installation cavity is formed between the lower side of the fixing seat 41 and the rotating platform 21, and the slide rail 43 and the first cylinder 45 are arranged in the installation cavity, thereby effectively reducing the overall volume of the rotating platform and forming a reasonable layout.
[0035] Furthermore, there are a plurality of positioning grooves 42, which are spaced apart and arranged on the fixing seat 41 along the same axis, and a plurality of clips 46 are arranged corresponding to the positioning grooves 42. Thus, one clamp can realize the clamping and fixing of a plurality of candy boxes.
[0036] Furthermore, the cover opening device also includes a connection seat 51 arranged at the moving end of the first XZ moving mechanism 24, and a guide groove 52 is formed through the connection seat 51, and a second slider 53 is movably arranged in the guide groove 52, and the second slider 53 is adjustable and locked on the connection seat 51 through bolts and nuts, and the ejector rod 25 is horizontally inserted into the second slider 53 through threaded matching. Then, the ejector rod can be adjusted and installed along the axial direction of the guide groove with the second slider through the bolts and nuts. Specifically, the rod of the bolt passes through the second slider and the guide groove in sequence, and the nut is located below the connection seat and is threadedly connected with the rod of the bolt and threadedly moved to tightly contact the connection seat, so as to realize the movement adjustment or installation and fixation of the second slider along the axial direction of the guide groove, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the ejector rod, and through the threaded connection between the ejector rod and the second slider, the ejector rod can be screwed to adjust the height of the ejector rod protruding from one side of the second slider, thereby facilitating the adaptive adjustment of the staff.
[0037] Furthermore, the push rod 25 is respectively threadedly sleeved with limit nuts 54 on both sides of the second slider 53. Specifically, the limit nuts are used to effectively prevent the push rod from being displaced relative to the second slider due to loosening.
[0038] Furthermore, the cover pushing mechanism 26 includes a second cylinder 71 and a push plate 72 disposed on the driving shaft of the second cylinder 71. Specifically, when the candy box cover is in a flipped open state, the push plate is driven by the second cylinder to move, so that the push plate moves from the center of the rotating platform to the peripheral edge thereof, and then the push plate moves to contact the top side of the candy box cover, so that the cover flips over and covers the opening of the candy box body.
[0039] Furthermore, a conveyor belt 73 is provided on the frame 1 within the moving path of the second XZ moving mechanism 28. The second XZ moving mechanism cooperates with the vacuum suction cup to convey the filled and packaged candy boxes to the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is used to realize automatic unloading and output.
