Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wine product production, and particularly relates to a case tucking device for tucking large and small flaps at the bottom of a wine case. Background Art

[0002] Wine is a liquid made from grains through fermentation and brewing. Its main chemical component is ethanol, and it generally contains trace amounts of fusel oils. It is a beverage with cultural characteristics. Before the wine products leave the factory, they need to be filled into washed wine bottles as semi-finished wine on the filling production line through filling equipment, and then the semi-finished wine is externally packaged with wine boxes and wine cases.

[0003] In actual production, most wine cases adopt a bottom-opening structure. When using a wine case to package wine products, an operator needs to set the bottom-opening wine case over a plurality of stacked wine boxes, and then another operator needs to turn the wine case and the wine boxes inside it as a whole so that the bottom of the wine case faces upward. Then, the bottom of the wine case is tucked, and then the wine case and the wine boxes inside it are turned back to their original positions for sealing the bottom of the wine case. This operation process is relatively complex, the production efficiency is not ideal, and at the same time, the labor intensity is relatively high, which is not conducive to the physical health of the operators and the control of labor costs.

[0045] Preferably, the conveying mechanisms 4 are arranged in pairs symmetrically on both sides of the long slot 22 and include a conveying motor 41, a driving wheel 42, a driven wheel 43 and a transmission belt 44;

[0046] The transmission belt 44 is located on the side of the long slot 22, is tensioned on the driving wheel 42 and the driven wheel 43, and is in pressing contact with the wine box 1 passing by on its side. The conveying motor 41 is fixedly installed on the workbench 2, its output end is fixedly installed with the driving wheel 42, and the driven wheel 43 is rotatably installed and connected to the workbench 2 through a rotating rod.

[0047] The conveying motor 41 drives the driving wheel 42 to rotate, the transmission belt 44 follows the driving wheel 42 to move and drives the driven wheel 43 to rotate. At the same time, the transmission belt 44 contacts the wine box 1 and conveys the wine box 1 forward.

The swing block 364 serves as the output end of the flipping mechanism 36, and its top is fixedly installed with the front end of the flipping rod and is hinged to the flipping bracket 362 in the middle;

[0059] A rotating pair is formed between the swing block 364 and the flipping bracket 362 to support the swing block 364 to drive the flipping rod to swing upward or downward with its front end as the swing axis under the drive of the flipping cylinder 361 and the transmission of the swing rod 363.

[0060] Preferably, a flipping roller is hinged to the end of the flipping rod.

[0061] The flipping roller contacts the inner top small flap 11 when the flipping rod swings upward and rolls in contact with the inner top small flap 11. Compared with the direct contact between the end of the flipping rod and the inner top small flap 11, the flipping roller can better maintain good contact with the inner top small flap 11 throughout the folding process of the inner top small flap 11, that is, when the inner top small flap 11 is in different folding angle states, and can also avoid the knocking damage or stabbing of the inner top small flap 11 caused by the direct inner top of the end of the flipping rod to the inner top small flap 11.

[0062] During specific use, it includes the following processes:

[0063] First step: The wine box 1 is conveyed along the conveying channel under the action of the conveying structure 21 until it reaches the conveying mechanism 4. The wine box 1 is pressed and contacted with the conveyor belts 44 on both sides, and continues to be conveyed along the conveying channel under the action of the conveyor belts 44 until the wine box 1 disengages from the conveying structure 21.

[0064] Second step: The limit cylinder 32 drives the limit rod to extend into the conveying channel to stop the wine box 1 in front of the wine box 1.

[0065] Third step: The top cylinder 33 drives the top rod to move upward to push up each wine box from the bottom of the wine boxes stacked in the wine box 1 into the wine box 1, making the inner sides of the small flaps 11 and the large flaps 12 at the bottom of the wine box 1 in a vacant state.

[0066] Fourth step: A pair of flipping cylinders 36 drive a pair of flipping rods to swing upward, and respectively push up a pair of small flaps 11 from the front side and the rear side inside the bottom of the wine box 1, so that the pair of small flaps 11 are folded inward into the opening of the wine box 1.

[0067] Subsequently, a pair of box-tucking cylinders 35 drive a pair of box-tucking rods to push up a pair of large flaps 12 from the left side and the right side inside the bottom of the wine box 1, so that the pair of large flaps 12 are folded inward into the opening of the wine box 1.

[0068] Fifth step: The pressing cylinder 34 drives the pressing rod to move downward until the pressing rod presses the wine box 1, so that the small flaps 11 and the large flaps 12 are completely tucked together.

[0069] Sixth step: The limit cylinder 32 drives the limit rod to completely retract outside the conveying channel.

[0070] Seventh step: The wine box 1 continues to be conveyed forward along the conveying channel under the action of a pair of conveyor belts 44, gradually enters the conveying structure 21 behind the conveying mechanism 4, and gradually disengages from the conveyor belts 44, and is sent to the downstream process by the conveying structure 21.

[0071] During the above process, the control of the limit cylinder 32 in the second step can be automatically realized by the sensor provided corresponding to the limit cylinder 32, and the control of the limit cylinder 32 in the sixth step can be realized by setting a delay time, so that the limit cylinder 32 retracts after extending for a preset delay time.
