Detailed implementation manners

[0024] First of all, it should be pointed out that in different described embodiments, the same components are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names. Among them, the disclosed content included in the whole specification can be meaningfully applied to the same components with the same reference numerals or the same component names. The positional descriptions selected in the specification, such as up, down, lateral, etc., also refer to the directly described and illustrated drawings and are meaningfully applied to the new positions when the positions change.

[0025] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4, A horizontal transverse automatic box-changing loading machine, comprising a support frame 1, guide rails 2, a placement plate 3, sliders 4, a limit frame 5, a rotating shaft 7, a motor 6, a transmission belt 8, a connecting block 9 and a cardboard box 10. On the top of the support frame 1, there are symmetrically distributed guide rails 2 in the front and back. At the bottom of the placement plate 3, there are symmetrically distributed sliders 4 in pairs in the front and back. The placement plate 3 is slidably mounted on the guide rails 2 through the sliders 4. On the top of the placement plate 3, there are three equally spaced limit frames 5. Inside each limit frame 5, there is a cardboard box 10 for loading materials. On one side of the support frame 1, there is a motor 6. The start and stop of the motor 6 are controlled by the counting signal of the assembly machine. On the other side, there is a rotating shaft 7. Between the output shaft of the motor 6 and the rotating shaft 7, there is a transmission belt 8. The transmission belt 8 is connected to the placement plate 3 through the connecting block 9 to drive the placement plate 3 to move along the guide rails 2.

[0026] Before use, the operator needs to set the moving distance of the placement plate 3 according to the specific requirements of the production line. Usually, it is achieved by setting the preset number of assembled materials, that is, presetting the number of rotation turns of the motor 6. After the setting is completed, the assembly machine will send a start signal to the motor 6. After receiving the signal, the motor 6 starts and rotates precisely according to the preset number of rotation turns. At this time, through the cooperation of the motor 6 and the rotating shaft 7, the transmission belt 8 is driven to move. As the transmission belt 8 moves, the connecting block 9 drives the placement plate 3 to perform horizontal transverse movement along the guide rails 2, so that the cardboard box 10 on the placement plate 3 moves to the loading point. At this time, the external assembly machine will automatically load the materials into the cardboard box 10. The whole process does not require manual intervention, ensuring the accuracy and speed of loading. After the loading is completed, the motor 6 starts again, driving the placement plate 3 to automatically follow up, so that the next empty box automatically moves to the loading point and is ready to receive the loading operation. By continuously repeating the above steps, an efficient and continuous loading task is achieved, greatly improving the production efficiency.

[0027] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, please refer to Figure 3 , further comprising a guide frame 11, a connecting plate 12, a servo motor 13, a threaded rod 14, a buffer pad 24 and a protective plate 26. There is a guide frame 11 on the support frame 1. The support frame 1 can move up and down along the guide frame 11. At the bottom of the support feet of the support frame 1, there is a buffer pad 24 for protecting the support frame 1 and buffering and damping during the lifting of the support frame 1, reducing mechanical fatigue and damage caused by vibration. At the lower part of the support frame 1, there is a connecting plate 12 welded. In the middle of the guide frame 11, there is a servo motor 13. On the output shaft of the servo motor 13, there is a threaded rod 14 connected. The threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 12 to adjust the overall height of the support frame 1. On all four sides of the guide frame 11, there are protective plates 26 installed to cover the surrounding of transmission components such as the servo motor 13 and the threaded rod 14, forming a physical protection layer to prevent these key components from being contaminated and damaged.

[0028] By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor 13, the threaded rod 14 is driven to rotate, thereby enabling the connecting plate 12 to move up and down, ultimately achieving the purpose of adjusting the height of the entire support frame 1, ensuring that the carton 10 is always in the optimal material receiving position, avoiding problems such as damage caused by excessive dropping of materials during the filling process due to too low height. At the same time, the height of the support frame 1 can also be flexibly adjusted according to the requirements of different production lines to adapt to various production and packaging scenarios.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 also includes a lifting plate 15, a contact block 16, a wedge block 17 and an anti-slip pad 25. A lifting plate 15 is slidably arranged inside each limiting frame 5. The lifting plate 15 is located at the bottom of the carton 10. The surface of the lifting plate 15 in contact with the carton 10 is provided with an anti-slip pad 25 for increasing the friction between the lifting plate 15 and the carton 10 to prevent the carton 10 from sliding during lifting or moving. A contact block 16 is welded to the rear side of the lifting plate 15. A wedge block 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 1 close to the contact block 16, and the wedge block 17 can be in contact and cooperation with the contact block 16.

[0030] When changing the carton during the operation of filling each carton 10 with materials, the filled carton 10 moves towards the position of the wedge block 17. At this time, the contact block 16 gradually approaches the wedge block 17. When the contact block 16 contacts the wedge block 17, the inclined surface of the wedge block 17 will gradually push the contact block 16 upward. This upward thrust is transmitted to the lifting plate 15 through the contact block 16, causing the lifting plate 15 to move upward, thereby lifting the filled carton 10, facilitating the operator to easily take out the filled carton 10 from the limiting frame 5.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 also includes a mounting frame 18, an electric push rod 19, a pushing plate 20, a buffer plate 21, a guide rod 22 and a return spring 23. A mounting frame 18 is arranged in the middle of the support frame 1. An electric push rod 19 is installed on the mounting frame 18 to provide a driving force. A pushing plate 20 for pushing the carton 10 is arranged on the movable rod of the electric push rod 19. The buffer plate 21 is fixedly connected with symmetrically distributed guide rods 22. The buffer plate 21 is slidably installed inside the limiting frame 5 through the guide rods 22. The buffer plate 21 contacts the side of the carton 10. A return spring 23 is connected between the buffer plate 21 and the limiting frame 5, and the return spring 23 can provide a restoring force for the buffer plate 21.

[0032] When the carton 10 moves to the loading point for loading, the electric push rod 19 is activated, and the movable rod of the electric push rod 19 extends, causing the pushing plate 20 to move forward and contact the carton 10 and push the carton 10. After the carton 10 is pushed, it squeezes the buffer plate 21 backward, and the return spring 23 deforms. When the movable rod of the electric push rod 19 retracts, the return spring 23 pulls the buffer plate 21 back to the initial position, and the buffer plate 21 pushes the carton 10 to reset. In this way, the carton 10 is caused to have slight forward and backward shaking, and the materials in the carton 10 are evenly dispersed and spread during the shaking process, avoiding the problem of uneven material accumulation.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art.
