[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , the present utility model provides a technical solution for an automatic carton loading mechanism: an automatic carton loading mechanism includes a machine body 1. The interior of the machine body 1 is partitioned into two carton storage chambers. Two movable carton storage carts 6 can be stored in the two carton storage chambers at the same time, which is convenient during the working process. When the cartons in one movable carton storage cart 6 are taken out, the vacuum suction tool 5 is transferred to the other movable carton storage cart 6 to take out the stacked cartons inside it. During this process, the other movable carton storage cart 6 can be pulled out to place the cartons, so as to realize the uninterrupted carton loading. At the position corresponding to each carton storage chamber on the upper surface of the machine body 1, a carton taking opening is provided, and an X-axis module 2 is installed on one side edge of the upper surface of the machine body 1. A Y-axis module 3 is movably arranged on the X-axis module 2, and a Z-axis module 4 is movably arranged on the Y-axis module 3. A vacuum suction tool 5 for adsorbing and taking out cartons is movably arranged on the Z-axis module 4. By the operation of the Z-axis module 4, the vacuum suction tool 5 can be driven to move up and down in the Z-axis direction (i.e., the vertical direction). By using the Y-axis module 3, the Z-axis module 4 can be driven to drive the vacuum suction tool 5 to move and adjust in the longitudinal position. By using the X-axis module 2, the Y-axis module 3 can be driven to move and adjust in the transverse position, so as to drive the Z-axis module 4 and the vacuum suction tool 5 to move and adjust in the transverse position. Moreover, the working principles of the X-axis module 2, the Y-axis module 3 and the Z-axis module 4 are the same, and all adopt the existing conventional three-axis drive mechanism. Secondly, the vacuum suction tool 5 adopts the existing conventional suction cup tool for adsorbing and fixing cartons.

[0029] One movable carton storage cart 6 is arranged in each carton storage chamber. The movable carton storage cart 6 includes a pusher 61 installed at the top of the side surface and moving wheels installed at the four bottom corners. Four limiting slide bars 62 are installed inside the movable carton storage cart 6 in a rectangular shape. A carton bearing plate 63 is slidably connected to the four limiting slide bars 62 together. The carton bearing plate 63 is erected at the lower end inside the movable carton storage cart 6. After the movable carton storage cart 6 is pushed into the carton storage chamber, the lifting plate 75 just inserts into the movable carton storage cart 6 below the carton bearing plate 63. Moreover, by the limitation of the four limiting slide bars 62, the stability of the lifting plate 75 rising to push the carton bearing plate 63 to rise can be ensured;

[0030] AsFigure 3 and 4 As shown in 4 , a plurality of adjustment grooves are formed on the surface of the paper box bearing plate 63. Corresponding to the adjustment grooves inside the movable paper box storage cart 6, an adjustment limit rod 64 is vertically installed. The adjustment limit rod 64 is used to limit the paper boxes stacked on the paper box bearing plate 63 to ensure the neatness of the stacked paper boxes. Moreover, the adjustment limit rod 64 can be moved and adjusted in the adjustment groove, and the adjustment limit rod 64 is slidably arranged at the inner bottom of the movable paper box storage cart 6 and fixed by bolts. By moving and adjusting the adjustment limit rod 64 at the inner bottom end of the movable paper box storage cart 6, the adjustment limit rod 64 can be moved in the adjustment groove, so as to facilitate adjusting the positions of several adjustment limit rods 64 according to the different sizes of the paper boxes, ensuring that the adjustment limit rod 64 can limit the paper boxes and avoiding affecting the neatness of the stacked paper boxes;

[0031] As Figure 5 and 6 As shown in Figure 5 and 6 , a lifting module 7 for lifting the paper boxes in the movable paper box storage cart 6 is provided on the inner wall of each paper box storage chamber. The lifting module 7 includes a mounting plate 71 installed on the inner wall of the paper box storage chamber and a limit sliding plate 72 installed on the front side of the mounting plate 71. A driving screw rod 77 is vertically installed near the limit sliding plate 72 on the inner side of the mounting plate 71. A moving seat 73 is jointly connected to the driving screw rod 77 and the limit sliding plate 72. The moving seat 73 is in threaded connection with the driving screw rod 77, and the moving seat 73 is slidably sleeved on the limit sliding plate 72. The lifting module 7 further includes a driving motor 74 installed on one side of the lower end of the mounting plate 71. The output end of the driving motor 74 and the bottom end of the moving seat 73 are both connected with a pulley 78, and a synchronous belt 79 is jointly connected to the outer surfaces of the two pulleys 78. The top end of the driving screw rod 77 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 71, and the bottom end of the driving screw rod 77 penetrates through the bottom of the mounting plate 71 and is rotatably connected thereto. By the forward rotation of the driving motor 74 and the transmission of the pulley 78 and the synchronous belt 79, the driving screw rod 77 can be driven to rotate. When the driving screw rod 77 rotates, since it is in threaded connection with the moving seat 73, the moving seat 73 will linearly rise along the surface of the driving screw rod 77. During the rising process, the moving seat 73 will also slide along the limit sliding plate 72 to improve the stability of the moving seat 73 during rising. Thus, the rising of the moving seat 73 will drive the lifting plate 75 to rise, so as to lift the paper box bearing plate 63 by using the lifting plate 75. After the vacuum suction device 5 takes out the paper box stacked at the top of the paper box bearing plate 63, the paper box bearing plate 63 can be lifted by using the lifting plate 75, facilitating the vacuum suction device 5 to take out the paper box at the bottom layer of the paper box bearing plate 63;

[0032] The lifting module 7 further includes a lifting plate 75 vertically installed on the surface of the moving seat 73. On one side of the front end of the lifting plate 75, an infrared sensor 76 is installed for detecting whether there is a paper box in the movable storage box cart 6. A lifting chute 66 corresponding to the lifting plate 75 is vertically opened on the rear side surface of the movable storage box cart 6. One end of the lifting plate 75 passes through the lifting chute 66 and extends to the bottom of the paper box bearing plate 63. When the vacuum sucker 5 takes out the paper box on the paper box bearing plate 63, when the infrared sensor 76 on the lifting plate 75 cannot sense the paper box, it means that the paper box on the paper box bearing plate 63 has been completely taken out. Thus, a signal will be transmitted to the background server, facilitating the staff to replenish the paper box in the movable storage box cart 6 in time.

[0033] As Figure 2 and 3 shown, on the inner wall of each storage box chamber, locking cylinders 8 for locking the movable storage box cart 6 to prevent it from moving are symmetrically arranged. On the lower ends of the two side surfaces of the movable storage box cart 6, locking limit holes 65 corresponding to the locking cylinders 8 are symmetrically opened. When the telescopic end of the locking cylinder 8 extends, it extends into the locking limit hole 65 for locking the movable storage box cart 6. A trigger switch is also arranged at the inner bottom of the storage box chamber. When the movable storage box cart 6 is completely pushed into the storage box chamber, the movable storage box cart 6 will touch the trigger switch. At this time, the two locking cylinders 8 inside the storage box chamber will synchronously extend and insert into the locking limit holes 65 on both sides of the movable storage box cart 6, realizing the locking and fixing of the movable storage box cart 6 and preventing it from moving during the working process. When it is necessary to push the movable storage box cart 6 out of the storage box chamber, the controller is used to control the locking cylinder 8 to retract and reset, and the locking of the movable storage box cart 6 can be released.

[0034] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: Before working, according to the size of the paper box, the adjusting limit rod 64 is moved and adjusted in the adjusting groove to make the adjusting limit rod 64 approach the paper box. After the adjustment is completed, the bottom of the adjusting limit rod 64 is fixed to the movable storage box cart 6 by using a screw. Thus, the space formed between several adjusting limit rods 64 can adapt to the stacking of the paper boxes. Then, the paper boxes are stacked on the paper box bearing plate 63. By using the limiting and intercepting of the adjusting limit rod 64, the stability of the stacked paper boxes can be ensured;

[0035] The two movable storage box carts 6 with stacked paper boxes are respectively pushed into the two storage box chambers. When the movable storage box cart 6 is completely pushed into the storage box chamber, it will touch the trigger switch. At this time, the two locking cylinders 8 inside the storage box chamber will synchronously extend and insert into the locking limit holes 65 on both sides of the movable storage box cart 6, realizing the locking and fixing of the movable storage box cart 6;

[0036] After the movable storage box vehicle 6 is fixed, control the X-axis module 2, Y-axis module 3 and Z-axis module 4 to work according to a certain control sequence, which can adopt the existing conventional three-axis reciprocating drive control system, so as to operate the position of the vacuum suction device 5, so as to facilitate the use of the vacuum suction device 5 to take out the paper boxes stacked in the movable storage box vehicle 6. It should be noted that after the paper boxes in one of the movable storage box vehicles 6 are taken out, the infrared sensor 76 inside the storage chamber will transmit a signal to the background server. Thus, it is convenient for the staff to replenish the paper boxes in time to ensure the uninterrupted feeding of the paper boxes.

[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art of the present technology, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and retouches can be made, and these improvements and retouches should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model. The structures, devices and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the present utility model, unless otherwise specified and limited, are implemented according to the conventional means in the art.
