[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Refer to the attached Figure 1, this embodiment provides a buffer feeding device for a cartoning machine, which includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2, a bin 4, and a feeder 100 arranged in sequence on the frame 1. A plurality of buffer slots 3 are provided on the conveyor belt 2. The brochures are placed vertically in the buffer slots 3 manually. The conveyor belt 2 drives the buffer slots 3 to rotate and sends the brochures in the buffer slots 3 to the material clamping mechanism 5. The bin 4 is vertically arranged at the end of the conveyor belt 2, and the buffer slot 3 is parallel to the bin 4, that is, the length direction of the buffer slot 3 is the same as the length direction of the bin 4. Above the conveyor belt 2 and the bin 4, there is a material clamping mechanism 5 for transferring the material in the buffer slot 3 into the bin 4. A translatable push rod 61 is provided on the bin 4, and the push rod 61 cooperates with the material clamping mechanism 5 to push the material in the bin 4 to move. The push rod 61 pushes the material in the bin 4 forward at the end of the material. When feeding is required, the material clamping mechanism 5 moves the material in the buffer slot 3 to the end of the material in the bin 4. The push rod 61 comes out of the material and then moves to the end of the material in the bin 4 to continue pushing the material forward. During the process of the push rod 61 moving to the end of the material, the material clamping mechanism 5 takes over the push rod 61 to push the material forward. When pushing the material forward, the push rod 61 is attached to the back of the last brochure in the bin 4 to prevent it from falling down, so as to avoid the material in the bin 4 from getting messy and ensure that the material transferred from the buffer slot 3 can be smoothly combined with the material in the bin 4. In the present utility model, the material is buffered in the buffer slots 3 of the conveyor belt 2, effectively improving the buffer capacity. Then, through the cooperation of the material clamping mechanism 5 and the push rod 61, the material is automatically replenished into the bin 4, and its feeding efficiency can effectively meet the operation requirements of the cartoning machine. Among them, an operator can load multiple buffer slots 3 at one time, and the saved feeding waiting time can be used to take care of carton feeding, card feeding, vial feeding..., thereby improving the work efficiency of employees.

[0024] As another embodiment of the present utility model: Refer to the attached Figure 3 , a first avoidance mechanism 53 is provided on the material clamping mechanism 5, and a second avoidance mechanism 62 is provided on the push rod 61. The first avoidance mechanism 53 is used to move the material clamping mechanism 5 away from the bin 4, and the second avoidance mechanism 62 is used to move the push rod 61 away from the bin 4. An embodiment of the material clamping mechanism 5: The material clamping mechanism 5 includes: a clamping block 51, a first translation assembly 52, and a first avoidance mechanism 53. The clamping block 51 moves up and down through the first avoidance mechanism 53, and the clamping block 51 reciprocates between the bin 4 and the buffer slot 3 through the first translation assembly 52. The two clamping blocks 51 move towards and away from each other through a second translation assembly 54 to clamp or release the material.

[0025] As another embodiment of the present utility model: Refer to the attached Figure 2, this embodiment further includes a foldable storage table 7 provided on the rack 1, and the storage tables 7 are distributed at the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2. When needed, the storage table 7 is opened, and the cardboard box is placed on the storage table 7 to facilitate the employees to stack the brochures from the cardboard box into the buffer slot 3. When not in use, the storage table 7 is folded to reduce the occupied space of the device.

[0026] One implementation of the folding of the storage table 7: The storage table 7 is rotatably connected to the rack 1 through a rotating rod 8. A limiting slot is provided on the storage table 7, and a clamping rod 11 that cooperates with the limiting slot is slidably provided on the rack 1. The storage table 7 rotates around the rotating rod 8 on the rack 1. When the storage table 7 is vertically arranged, the folding is completed, and the occupied space becomes very small. When the storage table 7 is horizontally arranged, the clamping rod 11 enters the limiting slot to prevent the storage table 7 from rotating, so that it can maintain a horizontal state. At this time, the opening of the storage table 7 is completed.

[0027] As another implementation of the present utility model: An inclined slot 12 is provided on the rack 1, and the clamping rod 11 moves along the inclined slot 12. The lower end of the inclined slot 12 is close to the storage table 7, and a placement slot 13 is provided at the higher end of the inclined slot 12. When the clamping rod 11 is placed in the placement slot 13, the clamping rod 11 is restricted in the placement slot 13 and cannot move freely. When the clamping rod 11 enters the limiting slot from high to low along the inclined slot 12, it is not easy for the clamping rod 11 to come out of the limiting slot. This setting helps to keep the horizontal state of the storage table 7 stable.

[0028] As another implementation of the present utility model: Refer to the attached Figure 4 , the push rod 61 is connected with a third translation assembly 63. The push rod 61 moves up and down through a second avoidance mechanism 62, and the push rod 61 moves horizontally through the third translation assembly 63. The second avoidance mechanism 62 is arranged between the push rod 61 and the third translation assembly 63. The push rod 61, the second avoidance mechanism 62 and the third translation assembly 63 constitute a material pushing mechanism. Specifically, when the push rod 61 pushes the brochures in the bin 4 to a predetermined position, the clamping block 51 of the material clamping mechanism 5 clamps a brochure in a buffer slot 3 and moves it to the end of the brochures in the bin 4. Then the push rod 61 moves downward to move from below the bin 4 to the end of the just transferred brochure, so as to push the brochure forward again.

[0029] As another implementation of the present utility model: An avoidance slot 511 adapted to the push rod 61 is provided on the clamping block 51. When the clamping block 51 clamps the material (new material) in the buffer slot 3 and moves to the end of the material (old material) in the bin 4, the push rod 61 is attached to the end of the old material to prevent the old material from falling down. When the clamping block 51 is attached to the old material, the push rod 61 is located in the avoidance slot 511 to avoid interference with the clamping block 51.

[0030] As another embodiment of the present utility model: A shield 9 is provided at the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2. Part of the buffer tank 3 is located inside the shield 9, and the placing table 7 is arranged on the side of the shield 9 away from the material clamping mechanism 5. The buffer tank 3 at the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2 is located inside the shield 9, which can effectively isolate the employee from the buffer tank 3 at the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2 when loading materials from the paper box, protecting the personal safety of the employee.

[0031] As another embodiment of the present utility model: The buffer tank 3 includes a bottom plate 31 and two vertical plates 32. The two vertical plates 32 are fixed on the bottom plate 31, and the bottom plate 31 is fixed on the conveyor belt 2. Guard plates 14 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 2. The buffer tank 3 is arranged between the two guard plates 14. The guard plates 14 extend to the material clamping mechanism 5. The guard plates 14 prevent the materials in the buffer tank 3 from coming out. After the buffer tank 3 passes through the guard plates 14, the two clamping blocks 51 clamp the materials in the buffer tank 3.

[0032] As another embodiment of the present utility model: A guiding plate 15 is provided between the conveyor belt 2 and the bin 4. A channel is provided between the two guiding plates 15. The channel is communicated with the bin 4. The two clamping blocks 51 clamp the materials in the buffer tank 3 and pass through the channel into the bin 4.

[0033] As another embodiment of the present utility model: Two flat plates are fixed on the frame 1. A rotating rod 8 is fixed on the two flat plates. A placing plate is fixed between the two vertical plates. The vertical plates are rotatably connected to the rotating rod 8. The limiting groove is arranged at the end of the vertical plate, and the inclined groove 12 is arranged on the flat plate.

[0034] Specifically, both the first avoidance mechanism 53 and the second avoidance mechanism 62 are lifting cylinders.

[0035] In the present utility model, when the push rod 61 travels to a predetermined position along with the brochures in the bin 4, the material clamping mechanism 5 clamps a brochure in a buffer tank 3, moves it to the end of the brochures in the bin 4 and pushes the materials forward. Then the push rod 61 comes out of the brochures and moves to the end of the brochures to push the brochures forward again. When there are not many brochures in the buffer tank 3, it reminds the personnel to manually feed the materials. For example, when there are only 2 buffer tanks 3 with brochures, an alarm is given to remind the personnel to feed the buffer tank 3.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that: The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit it; Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: They can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; And these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model.
