[0027] The following will disclose multiple embodiments of the utility model with diagrams.

However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the utility model.

[0028] Example

[0029] At present, in the automated warehousing and logistics industry, in the process of packaging goods, in order to prevent the corners of the carton from being damaged and affecting the appearance of the product, it is necessary to install corner protectors at the four corners of the carton during the packaging process. However, the installation process of the carton corner protectors is basically manual, which is inefficient, time-consuming and labor-intensive. On the other hand, angle deviation is prone to occur during the installation of the corner protectors. In response to this phenomenon, we propose a device that can automatically install and load carton corner protectors. The specific solution is as follows:

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present embodiment discloses a carton corner guard installation and feeding machine, comprising a main frame 1 and a sub-frame 2 installed on the side of the main frame 1, wherein a transverse drive assembly is installed on the main frame 1, an automatic corner guard feeding mechanism is installed on the transverse drive assembly, and a plurality of corner guard temporary storage racks 8 for storing carton corner guards in an upright shape are installed side by side on the sub-frame 2.

[0031] The specific design is as follows:

[0032] like Figure 1-6As shown, the transverse driving assembly includes a horizontally designed transverse frame 3 and two groups of transverse force assemblies installed on the transverse frame 3 and movable, the two groups of transverse force assemblies are respectively No. 1 transverse force assembly 7 and No. 2 transverse force assembly 6. At the same time, there are two groups of the above-mentioned corner guard automatic feeding mechanisms, the two groups of corner guard automatic feeding mechanisms are respectively No. 1 corner guard automatic feeding mechanism 4 and No. 2 corner guard automatic feeding mechanism 5. The No. 1 corner guard automatic feeding mechanism 4 is installed on the No. 1 transverse force assembly 7, and the No. 2 corner guard automatic feeding mechanism 5 is installed on the No. 2 transverse force assembly 6. Moreover, the No. 1 corner guard automatic feeding mechanism 4 and the No. 2 corner guard automatic feeding mechanism 5 are both installed horizontally and designed to be vertical to the transverse frame 3.

[0033] During the entire loading process, the two groups of transverse moving force components move horizontally on the transverse moving frame 3. During the movement process, the transverse moving force components respectively drive the two groups of automatic corner guard feeding mechanisms to move. When the automatic corner guard feeding mechanism moves to the position corresponding to the corner guard temporary storage rack 8, the propulsion cylinder 407 on the automatic corner guard feeding mechanism extends and pushes the cross arm 404 forward to take the carton corner guard. When the corner guard is taken, the propulsion cylinder 407 contracts, so that the automatic corner guard feeding mechanism carries the corner guard away from the corner guard temporary storage rack 8, and then the automatic corner guard feeding mechanism carrying the corner guard moves to the predetermined position under the cooperative drive of the transverse moving force component and the transverse moving frame 3, and the propulsion cylinder 407 in the automatic corner guard feeding mechanism pushes forward, so that the cross arm 404 moves forward and sends the corner guard to the designated position, thereby achieving the loading purpose.

[0034] In order to achieve effective transmission cooperation between the two sets of lateral moving force components and the lateral moving frame 3, and finally realize the position transfer of the carton corner guard, and achieve the purpose of automatic feeding, among which, Figure 6 As shown, the transverse frame 3 includes a square frame 301 fixedly mounted on the top of the main frame 1, and a group of No. 1 transverse slide rails 302 and a group of No. 2 transverse slide rails 303 are fixedly mounted on the top of the square frame 301 and the side close to the auxiliary frame 2, and at the same time, a No. 1 driving rack 304 and a No. 2 driving rack 305 are fixedly mounted on the positions of the square frame 301 close to the No. 1 transverse slide rail 302 and the No. 2 transverse slide rail 303, respectively. It should be further explained that the No. 1 transverse slide rail 302 and the No. 2 transverse slide rail 303 are consistent with the length direction of the square frame 301, and at the same time, the No. 1 driving rack 304 and the No. 2 driving rack 305 are respectively arranged parallel to the No. 1 transverse slide rail 302 and the No. 2 transverse slide rail 303.

[0035] At the same time, Figure 1 , Figure 6As shown, two groups of transverse movement force components (i.e., No. 1 transverse movement force component 7 and No. 2 transverse movement force component 6) adopt the same structural design, and the transverse movement force components include a carrier plate 701, a driving servo motor 703 is installed in the middle of the carrier plate 701, and the output shaft of the driving servo motor 703 is also installed with a gear 704 after passing through the carrier plate 701. It should be further explained that the carrier plates 701 in the No. 1 transverse movement force component 7 and the No. 2 transverse movement force component 6 are slidably installed on the No. 2 transverse movement slide rail 303 and the No. 1 transverse movement slide rail 302 respectively through the No. 1 slider 702. At the same time, the gears 704 in the No. 1 transverse movement force component 7 and the No. 2 transverse movement force component 6 04 is respectively meshed with the No. 2 driving rack 305 and the No. 1 driving rack 304 for transmission. When the transverse force assembly moves, the driving servo motor 703 drives the gear 704 to rotate. Since the two sets of transverse force assemblies and the corresponding No. 1 transverse slide rail 302 and No. 2 transverse slide rail 303 are slidably matched with the No. 1 slider 702, when the No. 1 driving rack 304 and the No. 2 driving rack 305 are fixed on the square frame 301, the rotation of the gear 704 can realize the horizontal movement of the transverse force assembly on the transverse frame 3, and the back and forth translational action of the transverse force assembly can be controlled by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the driving servo motor 703.

[0036] In order to ensure that the lateral movement force component can accurately move the corner guard automatic feeding mechanism to the specified position and realize accurate material picking and feeding, a laser ranging sensor is installed on one side of the carrier plate 701 in the two groups of lateral movement force components. The signal output end of the laser ranging sensor is electrically connected to the driving servo motor 703 controller in the corresponding lateral movement force component. The laser ranging sensor is used to detect the reciprocating and returning moving distances of the two groups of lateral movement force components in real time, and then the driving servo motor 703 controller cooperates to achieve the purpose of controlling the moving position of the corresponding lateral movement force component.

[0037] like Figure 4-5As shown, in order to realize the automatic material collection and loading of the carton corner protectors, the two sets of corner protector automatic loading mechanisms (i.e., the first corner protector automatic loading mechanism 4 and the second corner protector automatic loading mechanism 5) have the same structure. The corner protector automatic loading mechanism includes a mounting arm 401 fixedly mounted on the carrier plate 701, a mounting plate 402 is horizontally mounted on the end of the mounting arm 401, a second slider 403 is fixedly mounted on one side of the top of the mounting plate 402, and a cross arm 404 is slidably mounted on the second slider 403 through a guide rail 405. The cross arm 404 is fixedly assembled with the guide rail 405. The top of the mounting plate 402 is located on the side of the slider and a propulsion cylinder 407 is installed parallel to the cross arm 404 through a fixed frame 406. A right angle frame 409 is installed on the side of the cross arm 404. A linkage rod 408 is connected between the right angle frame 409 and the front end of the telescopic rod of the propulsion cylinder 407. When the automatic feeding mechanism of the corner protector performs the action of taking the carton corner protector or performing the feeding operation on the carton corner protector, the telescopic action of the propulsion cylinder 407 controls the cross arm 404 to move. The arm 404 moves forward and backward; and in order to cooperate with the cross arm 404 to realize the automatic material picking and loading action during the forward and backward movement, a connector 410 is installed at one end of the cross arm 404 close to the corner protection temporary storage rack 8, and a hinge seat 411 is installed at the front end of the connector 410 through a pin shaft, and a mounting frame 412 is vertically installed on the back of the hinge seat 411, and a plurality of vacuum suction nozzles 413 connected to an external vacuum device (not shown) through a spring tube are installed on the mounting frame 412. During the process, the vacuum nozzle 413 generates negative pressure under the action of the vacuum equipment, which adsorbs the corner protector of the carton, and smoothly detaches from the corner protector temporary storage rack 8 as the cross arm 404 moves backward. Finally, as the horizontal moving force component moves to the designated loading position, the cross arm 404 moves forward to push the carton corner protector to the designated position, and then cuts off the passage between the vacuum equipment and the vacuum nozzle 413. The vacuum nozzle 413 loses negative pressure, allowing the carton corner protector to automatically detach from the vacuum nozzle 413, thereby realizing automatic loading.

[0038] When taking materials, in order to make the angle of the vacuum suction nozzle 413 consistent with the angle of the carton corner guard temporarily stored on the corner guard temporary storage rack 8, and also to enable the carton corner guard to be installed on the corresponding carton corner at a precise angle when loading the materials later, an angle adjustment cylinder 415 is rotatably installed on the side of the cross arm 404 away from the propulsion cylinder 407 through the No. 2 right-angle bracket 414, and the front end of the angle adjustment cylinder 415 is hinged to one side of the hinge seat 411 through a movable joint, and the mounting frame 412 is designed as a right-angle structure from the cross section. A number of vacuum suction nozzles 413 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of vacuum suction nozzles 413 are respectively installed on both sides of the mounting frame 412 designed at a right angle.

[0039] like Figure 1-3As shown, in order to facilitate the material picking action of the automatic feeding mechanism of the corner guard and avoid the carton corner guard from tilting and falling, the corner guard temporary storage rack 8 includes a vertically installed and right-angled vertical plate, and a group of positioning frames are horizontally installed at both ends of the vertical plate close to the main frame 1. A strip brush is installed on the inner side of each group of positioning frames, and the gap on the inner side of each group of positioning frames and the carton corner guard are adaptively designed.

[0040] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
