Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of packaging box manufacturing, in particular to a side panel laminating machine. Background Art

[0002] The sides of the existing "bottom and bottom lid box" packaging products need to be fitted with "surrounding panels" (such as Figure 7 As shown), to strengthen the strength of its side panels or to effectively support the internal packaging products. The enclosure is made of folded cardboard to form a plate-like product that is thick at the upper end and thin at the lower end. At present, the assembly of the enclosure and the outer box is often done manually by manual bonding. The operator first takes out a piece from the stacked enclosure, and then bonds it to the inner side of the enclosure. The efficiency is low, and it cannot be connected with the forming of the outer box in the previous process and the packaging of the items in the subsequent process, so it is not suitable for mass production. In addition, the manual operation of the enclosure and the outer box randomly places a large area, and it is also easy to miss the enclosure. At the same time, the assembled and bonded outer boxes also require additional manual collection, sorting or stacking for subsequent production and use, which further increases the labor and increases the production cost. Therefore, how to improve the assembly efficiency and yield rate of packaging boxes and enclosures is a problem that technicians in this field need to consider. Utility Model Content

[0035] The following is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0036] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a side panel laminating machine comprises: a frame 1, on which a silo 2, a material distribution component 3, a first positioning component 4, an outer box flow channel 5 and a mechanical arm 6 are arranged. The material distribution component 3 is connected to the silo 2, and the material distribution component 3 comprises a first transfer device 31, which transfers the side panels in the silo 2 to the first positioning component 4; the outer box flow channel 5 comprises a second positioning component 51, which can position the outer box, and move the side panels at the first positioning component 4 to the outer box through the mechanical arm 6 to complete the laminating.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the silo 2 includes a first conveyor belt 21 on which a shroud is placed, a counterweight block 22 arranged on the first conveyor belt 21, and two first limit plates 23 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first conveyor belt 21. The ends of the two first limit plates 23 are both provided with a first baffle 24.

[0038] In this embodiment, the two first limiting plates 23 are parallel to each other and are both connected to the edge of the first conveyor belt 21 through the first adjusting device 25, wherein the first adjusting device 25 includes a first base 251 fixedly connected to the edge of the first conveyor belt 21, and a first connecting block 252 fixedly connected to the first limiting plate 23, and the first connecting block 252 is connected to the first base 251 through a first connecting rod 253; the distance between the first limiting plate 23 and the edge of the first conveyor belt 21 can be adjusted by adjusting the connection position of the first connecting rod 253 and the first base 251, and then the spacing between the two first limiting plates 23 can be adjusted to achieve the placement of enclosures of different sizes.

[0039] A gap is formed between the two first limit plates 23, the length direction of the gap is the same as the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 21, and the width of the gap is slightly larger than the length of the enclosure. The first baffles 24 at the ends of the two first limit plates 23 extend in opposite directions, so that at least part of their area protrudes from the first limit plates 23. Multiple enclosures are stacked on the first conveyor belt 21 along the length direction of the first conveyor belt 21 and between the two first limit plates 23; at the same time, in the thickness direction of the enclosure, the two ends of one side abut against the first baffle 24, and the other side abuts against the counterweight 22. When the first suction cup assembly 312 sucks the enclosure on the side close to the first baffle 24, the first conveyor belt 21 starts, and the counterweight 22 is driven to abut against the enclosure, so that the enclosure close to the first baffle 24 always abuts against the first baffle 24.

[0040] In addition, in this embodiment, a first photoelectric sensor 211 is provided on one side of the first conveyor belt 21 near the first baffle 24 to sense the panels. That is, when the remaining panels on the first conveyor belt 21 are small, the first photoelectric sensor 211 cannot sense the panels, and an alarm is issued to prompt the operator to replenish the panels, thereby realizing non-stop loading and further improving production efficiency.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the material distribution assembly 3 includes a first bracket 32 ​​arranged above the first conveyor belt 21. The first transfer device 31 includes a first driving device 311 connected to the first bracket 32, and the first driving device 311 is connected to a first suction cup assembly 312; the first suction cup assembly 312 sucks the enclosure from the side close to the first baffle 24, and moves to the first positioning assembly 4 under the drive of the first driving device 311.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first driving device 311 can be a motor, a cylinder or other device that can drive the first suction cup assembly 312 to move in a straight line. The direction of the driving movement of the first driving device 311 is the same as the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 21. Specifically, when the first driving device 311 drives the first suction cup assembly 312 to reset, the suction nozzle on the first suction cup assembly 312 sucks a piece of enclosure near the first baffle 24; when the first driving device 311 drives the first suction cup assembly 312 to extend, the enclosure is driven and separated from the first conveyor belt 21. The position where the first suction cup assembly 312 sucks the enclosure is in the middle section of the enclosure. Therefore, in the process of the enclosure being separated from the first conveyor belt 21, the enclosure is bent so that its two ends pass over the first baffle 24.

[0043] It should be noted that the first conveyor belt 21 is activated once each time the first suction cup assembly 312 separates a panel, so that the panels in the silo 2 are always neatly stacked, so as to facilitate the subsequent separation of the panels. In addition, after the first driving device 311 drives the first suction cup assembly 312 to extend, it is located just above the first positioning assembly 4, so that the panels can fall freely into the first positioning assembly 4.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the first positioning assembly 4 includes a carrier 41 disposed on the frame 1, and a vertical first guide plate 42, a second limit plate 43 and a third limit plate 44 are disposed on the carrier 41. The second limit plate 43 and the third limit plate 44 are respectively disposed at both ends of the first guide plate 42, and a side of the second limit plate 43 away from the first guide plate 42 extends toward the third limit plate 44 to form a second baffle 431; a side of the third limit plate 44 away from the first guide plate 42 extends toward the second limit plate 43 to form a third baffle 441.

[0045] The first guide plate 42 is connected to a second driving device 421, which is also connected to the second limit plate and can drive the second limit plate 43 to move away from the third limit plate 44. The second driving device 421 can be a device such as a cylinder or a motor. In this embodiment, the second driving device 421 is a cylinder and is fixedly connected to the first guide plate 42, and its piston end is connected to the second limit plate 43 through a connecting block 4211. The first guide plate 42 is also connected to a second photoelectric sensor 423, which senses the enclosure on the carrier 41 through a window 424 provided on the first guide plate 42, that is, when the second photoelectric sensor 423 senses, it indicates that there is an enclosure on the carrier 41, and at this time, the robot arm 6 performs the action of picking up the enclosure.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the enclosure is separated by the material dividing assembly 3 and moved to directly above the first positioning assembly 4, the second driving device 421 drives the second limiting plate 43 to move in the direction away from the third limiting plate 44; the enclosure falls freely or slides along the guide surface 422 and falls onto the carrier 41; then the second driving device 421 drives the second limiting plate 43 to reset. When resetting, the second limiting plate 43 pushes one end of the enclosure so that the other end of the enclosure rests on the third limiting plate 44, thereby realizing the positioning of the enclosure, which is convenient for picking up by the robot arm 6 in the subsequent process.

[0047] It should be noted that, in order to make the enclosure plate fall stably onto the carrier 41, inclined surfaces can be provided above the second limit plate 43, the second baffle plate 431, the third limit plate 44 and the third baffle plate 441 to guide the enclosure plate to fall. After the robot arm 6 drives the second suction cup assembly 61 to suck the enclosure plate, the second driving device 421 drives the second limit plate 43 to move away from the third limit plate 44 again to avoid interference when moving the enclosure plate.

[0048] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the outer box flow channel 5 includes a second conveyor belt (not shown in the figure), a second guide plate 52 and a third guide plate 53 arranged above the second conveyor belt; a flow channel is formed between the second guide plate 52 and the third guide plate 53, and the width of the flow channel is slightly larger than the width of the outer box; the outer box enters the flow channel when being conveyed on the second conveyor belt to achieve guidance.

[0049] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is further provided with a second bracket 54, and the second guide plate 52 and the third guide plate 53 are connected to the second bracket 54 through a third bracket 541 and a fourth bracket 542, respectively. Two third brackets 541 and two fourth brackets 542 can be provided, and the upper end of the third bracket 541 is connected to the second bracket 54, and the lower end is connected to the second guide rail 52; the upper end of the fourth bracket 542 is connected to the second bracket 54, and the lower end is connected to the third guide rail 53. The third bracket 541 and the fourth bracket 542 can be connected to the second bracket 54 by direct bolt connection, and the bolts can be removed to adjust the connection position, thereby adjusting the position of the second guide rail 52 and the third guide rail 53 on the second conveyor belt. Further, for the convenience of adjustment, a guide rail 543 may be provided on the second bracket 54, and the upper ends of the third bracket 541 and the fourth bracket 542 are connected to the guide rail 543 through corresponding sliders, so that the third bracket 541 and the fourth bracket 542 can adjust the connection position on the second bracket 54 through the relative sliding of the slider and the guide rail 543. Of course, after the adjustment, the third bracket 541 and the fourth bracket 542 need to be fixed to the second bracket 54 by tightening bolts. The adjustment in the above manner can realize the adjustment of the position of the second guide plate 52 and the third guide plate 53 on the second conveyor belt, and can also adjust the spacing between the second guide plate 52 and the third guide plate 53, so as to be suitable for the transmission of outer boxes of different sizes.

[0050] In addition, it should be noted that the second guide plate 52 and the third guide plate 53 are located above the second conveyor belt, and their lower end surfaces do not contact the second conveyor belt to avoid wear on the second conveyor belt after long-term operation. The second guide plate 52 and the third guide plate 53 are both provided with inclined surfaces at the ends of the incoming direction of the outer box, that is, the two together form a gradually larger opening in the incoming direction, so that when the outer box enters through this opening, the edge of the outer box slides with the edge of the opening while entering, so as to realize automatic adjustment of the entry posture of the outer box.

[0051] The second positioning assembly 51 includes a material blocking cylinder 511 symmetrically arranged on the second guide plate 52 and the third guide plate 53, and a third driving device 512 and a fourth limiting plate 513 respectively arranged on the second guide plate 52 and the third guide plate 53. A stopper 5111 is connected to the material blocking cylinder 511, and a first push plate 5121 is connected to the third driving device 512. A material blocking assembly 55 is also arranged on the second guide plate 52, and the material blocking assembly 55 includes a fourth driving device 551 connected to a second push plate 552.

[0052] In this embodiment, the material blocking assembly 55 drives the block 5111 to extend, and when the outer box is conveyed to the block 5111 by the second conveyor belt, the outer box is blocked and stops; the third driving device 512 drives the first push plate 5121 to push the outer box, so that the end of the outer box away from the first push plate 5121 contacts the fourth limit plate 513, thereby positioning the outer box; at this time, the robot arm 6 drives the second suction cup assembly 61 to move the enclosure to the outer box, and realizes the fitting assembly with the outer box.

[0053] Because the outer boxes are continuously loaded, when the outer box reaches the stop block 5111 and is positioned, the fourth drive device 551 drives the second push plate 552 to push the second outer box close to the stop block 5111, so that the side of the outer box away from the second push plate 552 hits the fifth limit plate 553 and stops moving forward to avoid interference.

[0054] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the utility model. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive.
