[0002] Dental floss sticks, also known as dental floss picks, are a product used in conjunction with a toothbrush in daily oral care. Before dental floss sticks were introduced, people used dental floss to achieve the same effect. Compared to dental floss, dental floss sticks are more convenient, efficient, safe, and hygienic. When selling dental floss sticks, several dental floss sticks are placed in a box or bag and sold as a whole box or bag. In the prior art, after multiple dental floss sticks are molded simultaneously in an injection molding machine, a robot grabs them onto a loading rack, and then manually places them into a box according to the specified quantity to complete the boxing operation. However, the manual boxing process inevitably causes contamination of the dental floss sticks, making it impossible to ensure product hygiene. In addition, the operation takes a long time and is inefficient, seriously affecting the company's production efficiency. At the same time, the labor cost is also high. Utility Model Content

[0028] The feeding component 42 includes a feeding rod 421 that is slidably connected to the main frame 1 and can pass through the dental floss stick, an X-direction feeding driver 422 for driving the feeding rod 421 to slide back and forth in a directional manner on the main frame 1, a feeding paddle 423 that is slidably connected to the main frame 1 and is used to shift the dental floss stick on the adapter rod 4111 to the feeding rod 421, and a feeding paddle driver 424 for driving the feeding paddle 423 to slide back and forth in a directional manner on the main frame 1; the X-direction feeding driver 422 can be a motor-driven belt transmission method to achieve directional reciprocating sliding of the feeding rod 421, and the sliding direction of the feeding rod 421 is consistent with the length direction of the feeding rod 421; the feeding paddle driver 424 can be a motor-driven belt transmission method to achieve directional reciprocating sliding of the feeding paddle 423, and the sliding direction of the feeding paddle 423 is consistent with the length direction of the feeding rod 421.

[0029] The process of the adapter rack 411 being driven to rotate by the adapter driver 412 includes a transfer loading state when the adapter rod 4111 is docked with the dental floss rack, and a transfer unloading state when the adapter rod 4111 is docked with the feeding rod 421; as shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification, the dental floss rack is in a comb shape and includes multiple dental floss rods, each of which is hung with a number of dental floss sticks, when the adapter rod 4111 is in the transfer loading state, one end of the adapter rod 4111 abuts against one end of a dental floss stick, and the adapter rod 4111 is coaxially arranged with the dental floss stick; when the adapter rod 4111 is in the transfer unloading state, one end of the adapter rod 4111 abuts against one end of the feeding rod 421, and the adapter rod 4111 is coaxially arranged with the feeding rod 421.

[0030] The X-axis feeding driver 422 drives the feeding rod 421 to slide back and forth, including a feeding state (when the feeding rod 421 is docked with the adapter rod 4111) and a feeding state (when the dental floss stick on the feeding rod 421 is aligned with the packaging box or bag). In the feeding state, one end of the feeding rod 421 abuts against the other end of the adapter rod 4111, and the adapter rod 4111 and the feeding rod 421 are coaxially arranged. In the feeding state, the dental floss stick on the feeding rod 421 can be placed into the packaging box or bag.

[0031] When the dental floss rack is being transported on the rack loading device 2 to the discharge end, when the dental floss rack on the feed conveyor belt 21 falls onto the rack transfer rack 23, the dental floss rack can be driven to be transferred to the rack feeding device 3 of the next process through the rack transverse transfer component 24 and the rack longitudinal transfer component 25, thereby making automatic loading of the dental floss rack possible.

[0032] The dental floss rack is transported to the loading position by the rack loading device 2. The clamping manipulator 31 at the loading position can clamp the dental floss rack delivered by the rack loading device 2. Then, the feeding motor 32 quickly drives the clamping manipulator 31 to slide to the unloading position through the feeding transmission belt. When the clamping manipulator 31 is at the unloading position, the dental floss stick feeding device 4 can move the dental floss on the dental floss rack into the dental floss box. However, since the existing dental floss rack usually includes multiple material rods for receiving dental floss, each material rod is arranged like a comb, and each material rod has a To receive multiple dental flosses, when all the dental flosses on the first material rod on the dental floss rack have been transferred to the dental floss box, the feeding motor 32 can drive the clamping robot 31 at the lower material position to move a certain distance (the distance is the distance between the two material rods), so that the second material rod can correspond to the dental floss stick feeding device 4, facilitating the transfer of the dental floss on it to the boxing operation. The feeding motor 32 drives the clamping robot 31 to repeatedly move intermittently until all the dental floss on the dental floss rack has been transferred to the dental floss box, thereby making automatic feeding of the dental floss stick possible.

[0033] When the transfer rod 4111 is in the transfer loading state, the end of the transfer rod 4111 will dock with the dental floss rack, and the rotating paddle driver 414 can drive the transfer paddle 413 to shift the dental floss stick on the dental floss rack onto the transfer rod 4111, and then the rotating paddle driver 414 will drive the transfer paddle 413 to reset and slide, and at the same time, the transfer driver 412 intermittently drives the transfer rack 411 to rotate so that the transfer rod 4111 is in the transfer unloading state and pauses, and then the X-direction feeding driver 422 drives the feeding rod 421 to be in the feeding loading state, so that the end of the feeding rod 421 will dock with the transfer rod 4111. The ends of the connecting rod 4111 are butted, and the feeding paddle driver 424 can drive the feeding paddle 423 to push the dental floss stick on the connecting rod 4111 onto the feeding rod 421. Then, the feeding paddle driver 424 will drive the feeding paddle 423 to reset and slide. At the same time, the X-direction feeding driver 422 drives the feeding rod 421 to slide to the feeding and unloading state, and then cooperates with the side baffle at the opening of the packaging box or bag in the accompanying drawings of the specification to unload the dental floss stick on the feeding rod 421, thereby making automatic feeding and loading of the dental floss stick possible, thereby realizing full automation, which is conducive to improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0034] Two feeding conveyor belts 21 are provided, and the two feeding conveyor belts 21 are respectively located on both sides of the conveying direction of the dental floss rack. The two limit displacement seats 211 on the two feeding conveyor belts 21 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. When the feeding conveyor belts 21 convey the dental floss rack, the two ends of the dental floss rack in the length direction are respectively located on the two opposite limit displacement seats 211 on the two feeding conveyor belts 21; the dental floss rack can be placed on the feeding conveyor belts 21 manually or by a robot, and the two ends of the dental floss rack in the length direction are respectively supported by the two corresponding limit displacement seats 211 on the two feeding conveyor belts 21, so that the dental floss rack can be conveyed forward in sequence and smoothly.

[0035] The limiting displacement seat 211 is provided with a limiting embedding groove 2111 for embedding one end of the dental floss rack. The opening of the limiting embedding groove 2111 is set upward, and the width of the limiting embedding groove 2111 is adapted to the width of the dental floss rack. The setting of the limiting embedding groove 2111 can facilitate the connection or separation of the limiting displacement seat 211 and the dental floss rack, thereby facilitating the manipulator to place the dental floss rack into the limiting embedding groove 2111, thereby limiting the position of the dental floss rack by the limiting displacement seat 211, and also facilitating the rack transfer rack 23 to take the dental floss rack away from the limiting embedding groove 2111.

[0036] The rack transfer frame 23 includes a front support 231 positioned between the two feed conveyor belts 21 and a rear support 232 at the same height as the front support 231. The front support 231 is no longer than the distance between the two feed conveyor belts 21. The front support 231 and the rear support 232 are arranged parallel to each other and are respectively used to receive floss on either side of the rack's width. The front support 231 is fixed to a rack longitudinal transfer base 251, while the rear support 232 is slidably connected to the rack longitudinal transfer base 251. The rear support 232 slides on the rack longitudinal transfer base 251 toward or away from the front support 231. An adjustable positioning structure is provided between the rear support 232 and the rack longitudinal transfer base 251. This adjustable positioning structure allows for adjustable spacing between the rear support 232 and the front support 231, significantly enhancing the flexibility and applicability of the rack transfer frame 233.

[0037] The front transfer support 231 is located between the two feeding conveyor belts 21, so that the front transfer support 231 is located in the transfer path of the dental floss rack during the process of the feeding conveyor belt 21 conveying the dental floss rack, which facilitates the rack transfer rack 23 to transfer the dental floss rack; and the two limit displacement seats 211 on the two feeding conveyor belts 21 respectively support the two ends of the dental floss rack in the length direction, while the front transfer support 231 and the rear transfer support 232 respectively support the two sides of the dental floss rack in the width direction, so that the rack transfer rack 23 and the limit displacement seat 211 and the feeding conveyor belt 21 will not interfere with each other, and at the same time effectively improve the stability of the rack loading device 2 in transferring the dental floss rack.

[0038] The main frame 1 is provided with a detection sensor 26 that can detect when the dental floss rack on the feed conveyor belt 21 is in a position to fall into the rack transfer rack 23. The detection sensor 26 is connected to the feed motor 22. When the detection sensor 26 detects the dental floss rack, the feed motor 22 can stop rotating. The setting of the detection sensor 26 enables the feed conveyor belt 21 to pause the feed motor 22 when the dental floss rack falls into the rack transfer rack 23, until the rack transverse transfer assembly 24 takes the rack transfer rack 23 away, that is, the rack transfer rack 23 moves the dental floss rack away from the feed conveyor belt 21, and then resumes the rotation of the feed motor 22, effectively improving the degree of automation of the rack loading device 2.

[0039] The material rack transverse transfer assembly 24 includes a material rack transverse transfer seat 241 slidingly connected to the main frame 1, and a material rack transverse transfer cylinder 242 for driving the material rack transverse transfer seat 241 to move. The material rack transverse transfer seat 241 and the main frame 1 can be slidably connected therebetween through a slide rail slider structure; the material rack longitudinal transfer assembly 25 includes a material rack longitudinal transfer seat 251 slidingly connected to the material rack transverse transfer seat 241, and a material rack longitudinal transfer cylinder 252 for driving the material rack longitudinal transfer seat 251 to move. The material rack longitudinal transfer seat 251 can be set on the material rack longitudinal transfer cylinder 252, the piston end of the material rack longitudinal transfer cylinder 252 is connected to the material rack transverse transfer seat 241, and the material rack longitudinal transfer cylinder 252 and the material rack transverse transfer seat 241 can be slidably connected therebetween through a shaft sleeve structure; the material rack transfer frame 23 is set on the material rack longitudinal transfer seat 251. By using the air cylinder, the rapid movement and positioning of the material rack transfer rack 23 can be effectively achieved.

[0040] The clamping manipulator 31 includes a clamping slide 311 slidably connected to the main frame 1, a fixed clamping block 312 provided on the clamping slide 311, a clamping cylinder 313 provided on the clamping slide 311, and a movable clamping block 314 provided on the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 313. The clamping slide 311 is detachably connected to the feeding transmission belt, and the clamping cylinder 313 drives the movable clamping block 314 to move toward or away from the fixed clamping block 312. The linear sliding between 311 and the main frame 1 can be achieved through the slide rail and slide structure. The clamping slide 311 is detachably connected to the feeding transmission belt, which can not only conveniently drive the clamping slide 311 to move through the feeding transmission belt, but also conveniently realize the position adjustment of the clamping slide 311, which greatly improves the flexibility and applicability of the clamping manipulator 31. The clamping cylinder 313 drives the movable clamping block 314 to move close to or away from the fixed clamping block 312, which can facilitate the taking and placing of the dental floss rack.

[0041] There can be multiple groups of clamping manipulators 31, and each group of clamping manipulators 31 is arranged along the sliding direction of the main frame 1. The drawings of this application show that the discharge end of a material rack loading device 2 can be provided with two groups of clamping manipulators 31, which can cooperate with two groups of material rack feeding devices 3 to perform packaging operations at the same time, which is conducive to improving work efficiency. When in use, the first clamping manipulator 31 is located at the loading position. At this time, the material rack loading device 2 can convey the dental floss material rack to correspond to the first clamping manipulator 31, so that it can clamp the dental floss material rack. Then the feeding motor 32 drives the first clamping manipulator 31 to leave and allows the second clamping manipulator 31 to be located at the loading position. After that, the material rack loading device 2 conveys another dental floss material rack to correspond to the second clamping manipulator 31, so that it can clamp the dental floss material rack. Finally, the feeding motor 32 drives the two clamping manipulators 31 to move to the lower material position.

[0042] A positioning sensor 33 capable of detecting the moving position of the clamping manipulator 31 is provided between the main frame 1 and the clamping manipulator 31. The positioning sensor 33 is in communication with the feed motor 32. The positioning sensor 33 is a well-known technology and adopts a conventional design. The positioning sensor 33 includes a sensor probe provided on the main frame 1 and a probe detection member provided on the clamping manipulator 31. When the sensor probe detects the probe detection member during the movement of the clamping manipulator 31, the feed motor 32 can be stopped, thereby facilitating the improvement of the positioning accuracy of the clamping manipulator 31. In the present application, multiple positioning sensors 33 can be provided, corresponding to the positions of the clamping manipulator 31 when the clamping manipulator 31 is located at the loading position and the unloading position, respectively.

[0043] At least two transfer rods 4111 are provided, and the number of transfer rods 4111 is an even number, and the two transfer rods 4111 form a group, and when one transfer rod 4111 of a group is in the transfer loading state, the other transfer rod 4111 is in the transfer unloading state; the arrangement of the two transfer rods 4111 enables one transfer rod 4111 to be in the transfer loading state when the other transfer rod 4111 is in the transfer unloading state, so that the transfer component 41 can simultaneously realize the loading and unloading of the dental floss stick, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0044] The adapter component 41 may also include a stopper lever 415 to prevent the flosser from being thrown off the adapter rod 4111. The stopper lever 415 is bent into a C-shape, with one end corresponding to the adapter rod 4111 in the loading state and the other end corresponding to the adapter rod 4111 in the unloading state. The shape of the stopper lever 415 is similar to the rotational trajectory of the outer end of the adapter rod 4111, effectively preventing the flosser from being thrown off the adapter rod 4111 during the rotation of the adapter frame 4111.

[0045] The transfer component 41 also includes a transfer support 416 for adjusting the inclination angle of the dental floss stick. The transfer support 416 is located below the transfer rod 4111 in the transfer unloading state. The gap between the transfer support 416 and the transfer rod 4111 determines the inclination angle of the dental floss stick at this location. By adjusting the gap between the transfer support 416 and the transfer rod 4111, the inclination angle of the dental floss stick at this location is adapted to the rotation limiting structure on the feeding rod 421, which is conducive to improving the stability of the dental floss stick during the process of transferring from the transfer rod 4111 to the feeding rod 421.
