[0025] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the utility model shown preferably provides a box loading device for a candy packaging line, including: a frame 1; a conveyor belt 2, which is arranged on one side of the frame 1, and a first limit baffle 3 is arranged at its output end, so that the packaging boxes located on its conveying surface are compactly arranged and stop at its output end along with the conveying; a working platform 4, which is arranged on one side of the frame 1, and a plurality of first positioning grooves 5 are evenly spaced and recessed thereon along the parallel axis of the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2; a conveying unit, which is arranged on the frame 1, for driving the packaging boxes of the conveyor belt 2 to be conveyed one by one to the first positioning grooves 5, and includes an XZ moving device 6, a connecting seat 7 arranged at the moving end of the XZ moving device 6, and a grasping device arranged on the connecting seat 7, the grasping device includes a plurality of grasping members 8, and a driving member 9 capable of driving the plurality of grasping members 8 to move is arranged on the connecting seat 7. Specifically, the XZ moving device is a relatively mature prior art, and its structural principle will not be described in detail here. It can drive the connecting seat to move along the X-axis and the Z-axis;

[0027] The candy boxes are automatically transported on the assembly line through a conveyor belt, and the XZ moving device of the conveying unit cooperates with the grabbing component to automatically grab the boxes and transport them to the working platform, so as to realize automatic transfer and transportation of the boxes. Through the driving component, multiple boxes compactly arranged on the conveyor belt can be separated and placed one by one in the first positioning groove, thereby effectively avoiding the disadvantage of adding partitions on the conveyor belt to place the conveyed boxes.

The connecting member includes a connecting screw 95 and a first nut 96 and a second nut 97 respectively threadedly connected to the connecting screw 95. Lugs 98 are provided on the slider 93 and the fixing block 94. The connecting screw 95 is inserted between adjacent lugs 98, and the first nut 96 and the second nut 97 are respectively located on both sides of the same lug 98 away from the end of the connecting screw 95.

[0029] Specifically, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a plurality of sliders are connected to a fixed block in sequence through a connecting member, and a plurality of sliders can perform limited relative movement along the axial direction of the slide rail through the mutual cooperation between the connecting screws of the connecting member and the first nut and the second nut. Then, when the driving member drives the slider located at the farthest end away from the fixed block to move axially along the slide rail, the plurality of sliders can be driven and moved in sequence through the connecting member, so that the grasping members on the plurality of sliders can be separated at intervals, so that a plurality of packaging boxes compactly arranged on the conveyor belt can be separated at intervals and placed one by one in the first positioning groove, and the spacing between a plurality of adjacent sliders and the fixed block when they are driven to gather or separate can be adjusted by screwing the spacing between the first nut and the second nut, thereby greatly enhancing the adaptability of the first positioning grooves corresponding to different spacings, and facilitating the transportation of candy boxes of different sizes.

[0033] Specifically, by adding a transfer seat between the conveyor belt and the working platform, and cooperating with two groups of grabbing devices, the two groups of grabbing devices can be driven to move along with the connecting seat by the XZ moving device, and then one group connected to the driving component can grab the packaging box on the conveyor belt and transport it to the second positioning groove of the transfer seat, while the other group of grabbing devices can synchronously grab the packaging box in the second positioning groove and transport it to the first positioning groove, thereby effectively speeding up the loading and conveying efficiency of the packaging box.

[0034] Furthermore, the conveyor belt 2 is provided with second limit baffles 13 on both sides, and the distance between the two second limit baffles 13 is equal to the width of the packaging box, so as to realize the positioning and guiding transportation of the packaging box.

[0035] Furthermore, a photoelectric switch is provided at the output end of the conveyor belt 2. The photoelectric switch is used to monitor whether there is a packaging box on the conveyor belt for subsequent grabbing and conveying work.
