For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0042] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, it is a cotton swab loading machine of the present utility model, which is used to load cotton swabs into a cotton swab box, and includes a machine table 100, a cotton swab regularizing mechanism 200 fixed on the machine table 100, and a transfer mechanism 300 arranged on the side of the cotton swab regularizing mechanism 200; the cotton swab regularizing mechanism 200 includes a transfer module 21, a pressing module 22 fixed on the transfer module 21, a first pushing module 25 perpendicular to the transfer direction of the transfer module 21, and a second pushing module 26 perpendicular to the transfer direction of the transfer module 21; in addition, a 500 is provided at the pushing end of the first pushing module 25.

[0043] During specific operation, multiple processed cotton swabs are stacked inside 500; the transfer module 21 drives the pressing module 22 to move to align with 500, and the first pusher module 25 pushes the cotton swabs inside 500 into the pressing module 22; the pressing module 22 presses the cotton swabs to adapt to the shape of the cotton swab box, ensuring that the cotton swabs can be packed into the cotton swab box; subsequently, the transfer module 21 drives the pressing module 22 to move to align with the second pusher module 26. The transfer mechanism 300 drives an empty cotton swab box to move to the packing station. Specifically, the cotton swab box, the pressing module 22, and the second pusher module 26 are in a straight line; the second pusher module 26 pushes the cotton swabs in the pressing module 22, and the cotton swabs are pushed into the cotton swab box, completing the packing of the cotton swabs. The transfer mechanism 300 drives the fully loaded cotton swab box to discharge.

[0044] Next, the structure of the cotton swab regularizing mechanism 200 will be described in detail:

[0045] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the transfer module 21 includes a slide rail 211 and a sliding seat 212 slidably connected to the slide rail 211; the pressing module 22 is fixed to the upper end of the sliding seat 212. The pressing module 22 includes a horizontal pressing component 23 provided on the upper end surface of the sliding seat 212 and a vertical pressing component 24 provided above the horizontal pressing component 23. The horizontal pressing component 23 is used to achieve pressing in the horizontal direction, while the vertical pressing component 24 is used to achieve pressing in the vertical direction, so that the cotton swabs are pressed.

[0046] In this embodiment, the horizontal pressing component 23 includes a first pressing block 231 fixed to the upper end surface of the sliding seat 212, a second pressing block 232 movably connected to the upper end surface of the sliding seat 212, and a telescopic driving module 233 fixed to the upper end surface of the sliding seat 212 and drivingly connected to the second pressing block 232. The telescopic driving module 233 selects a cylinder. When the cotton swabs are pushed by the first pusher module 25 between the first pressing block 231 and the second pressing block 232, the telescopic driving module 233 drives the second pressing block 232 to move towards the first pressing block 231, thereby pressing the cotton swabs. Since the cotton swab box targeted in this embodiment is cylindrical, the opposite surfaces of the first pressing block 231 and the second pressing block 232 are both arc-shaped. When the first pressing block 231 and the second pressing block 232 are joined together, a circle is formed, thereby realizing that the cotton swabs are pressed into a cylindrical shape for easy packing into the cylindrical cotton swab box. Understandably, when the corresponding cotton swab box is rectangular, the first pressing block 231 and the second pressing block 232 can be designed into a U shape.

[0047] In this embodiment, the vertical pressing assembly 24 includes a lower pressing block 241 provided at the upper end of the horizontal pressing assembly 23 and a lower pressing driving module 242 drivingly connected to the lower pressing block 241. The lower pressing driving module 242 drives the lower pressing block 241 to press down vertically and abuts against the upper end faces of the first pressing block 231 and the second pressing block 232, so as to improve the pressing effect.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first material pushing module 25 includes a first pushing cylinder 251 and a first pushing block 252; the first pushing block 252 is rectangular; the first pushing cylinder 251 drives the first pushing block 252 to push the cotton swabs in 500 into the pressing module 22. The second material pushing module 26 includes a second pushing cylinder 261 and a second pushing block 262; the second pushing block 262 is cylindrical to fit the cylindrical cotton swab box.

[0049] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a partition plate 400 is provided between the cotton swab rectifying mechanism 200 and the transfer mechanism 300. The partition plate 400 is provided with a circular through hole 41, and a sleeve 42 is extended and provided on the side of the partition plate 400 facing the transfer mechanism 300; when the second material pushing module 26 pushes the cotton swabs in the pressing module 22, the cotton swabs enter the cotton swab box through the sleeve 42.

[0050] The structure of the transfer mechanism 300 will be described in detail below:

[0051] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the transfer mechanism 300 includes a clamping arm assembly 31, a vertical flipping assembly 32, a horizontal flipping assembly 33, a lifting assembly 34 and a linear driving assembly 35 which are connected in sequence. During operation, the clamping arm assembly 31 is used to clamp or release the cotton swab box, the vertical flipping assembly 32 is used to drive the clamping arm assembly 31 to flip in the vertical plane, the horizontal flipping assembly 33 is used to drive the clamping arm assembly 31 to flip in the horizontal plane, and the linear driving assembly 35 is used to drive the clamping assembly to approach or move away from the cotton swab rectifying mechanism 200.

[0052] Among them, the clamping arm assembly 31 includes a clamping cylinder 311 and clamping arms 312 that are symmetrically distributed and drivingly connected to the clamping cylinder 311. The clamping arms 312 are arc-shaped, and at the same time, an anti-slip sleeve 313 is sleeved on the outer side of the clamping arms 312 to facilitate the clamping arms 312 to clamp the cotton swab box. The vertical flipping assembly 32 includes a flipping plate 321, a connecting block 322, and a first flipping cylinder 323. Among them, the flipping plate 321 is rotationally connected to the connecting block 322 through a rotating shaft, and the first flipping cylinder 323 is arranged at the rotating part. The first flipping cylinder 323 is used to drive the relative flipping of the flipping plate 321 and the connecting block 322 in the vertical plane, thereby realizing the flipping of the clamping arms 312 in the vertical plane. The horizontal flipping assembly 33 includes a second flipping cylinder 331 fixed to the lower end of the connecting block 322 and a movable seat 332. The second flipping cylinder 331 is used to drive the relative flipping of the connecting block 322 and the movable seat 332 in the horizontal plane, thereby realizing the flipping of the clamping arms 312 in the horizontal plane. The lifting assembly 34 includes a lifting seat 341, a screw rod (not shown in the figure) arranged in the lifting seat 341, and a lifting motor 342 arranged at the upper end of the lifting seat 341. The lifting seat 341 is threadedly connected to the screw rod, and the lifting motor 342 drives the screw rod to rotate to drive the lifting seat 341 to lift. The above-mentioned movable seat 332 is fixedly connected to the lifting seat 341, thereby realizing the vertical lifting of the clamping arms 312. The linear driving assembly 35 includes a track 351 and a driving motor 352. The lifting seat 341 is slidably connected to the track 351, and the driving motor 352 drives the lifting seat 341 to linearly move along the track 351, thereby realizing the clamping arms 312 approaching or moving away from the cotton swab sorting mechanism 200.

[0053] In the initial state, the cotton swab box is in a flat state. The linear driving assembly 35 drives the clamping arms 312 to approach the cotton swab box. The clamping cylinder 311 drives the clamping arms 312 to tighten to clamp the cotton swab box. The vertical flipping assembly 32 drives the flipping of the cotton swab box in the vertical plane. At the same time, the lifting assembly 34 drives the cotton swab box to move upward so that the cotton swab box, the pressing module 22, and the second pushing module 26 are in a straight line. The linear driving assembly 35 drives the cotton swab box to move and sleeved on the outer side of the sleeve 42. Subsequently, the second pushing module 26 pushes the cotton swabs, and the cotton swabs enter the cotton swab box through the sleeve 42. After the loading is completed, the vertical flipping assembly 32 drives the flipping of the cotton swab box in the vertical plane so that the opening of the cotton swab box faces upward to prevent the cotton swabs from falling off. Finally, the horizontal flipping assembly 33 drives the flipping of the cotton swab box in the horizontal plane to discharge the full cotton swab box. Through the above driving mechanism and steps, the cotton swabs are automatically loaded into the cotton swab box, improving the efficiency and accuracy of cotton swab loading, and at the same time reducing the labor cost.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the cotton swab packing machine of the present utility model includes a cotton swab sorting mechanism 200 and a transfer mechanism 300; the cotton swab sorting mechanism 200 includes a transfer module 21, a pressing module 22, a first pushing module 25, and a second pushing module 26; the first pushing module 25 is used to push a plurality of processed cotton swabs into the pressing module 22, and the pressing module 22 presses the plurality of cotton swabs to match the space size of the cotton swab box. The second pushing module 26 is used to push the pressed cotton swabs into the cotton swab box to complete the packing of the cotton swabs; in addition, the transfer mechanism 300 is used to move the empty cotton swab box to the packing station for the packing of the cotton swabs; at the same time, the transfer mechanism 300 can discharge the cotton swab box; the packing of the cotton swabs is completed automatically, improving the packing accuracy and efficiency of the cotton swabs.

[0055] The above only expresses the preferred technical solution of the present utility model, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several variations and improvements can be made, and the present utility model also intends to include these changes and deformations.
