Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of palletizing and handling, in particular to a side suction carton deformation clamp. Background Art

[0002] Semi-automated carton palletizing and handling lines are typically used to process large quantities of carton packaging to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. On these lines, workers move the various cartons loaded with goods to the pickup area, where they are then picked up and handled using a clamp.

[0003] During the entire carton handling process, the carton is only subjected to force when the clamp is opened and clamped. The bottom flap only provides bottom protection during the handling process. When a pallet cart loaded with cartons is manually pushed into the clamp's gripping range, the cartons fold and deform to varying degrees, resulting in raised portions on the side surfaces of the cartons to be gripped. Therefore, when the clamp's jaws alone are clamping the carton, the side surfaces of the carton are unable to fully bear the force. Since the carton contains cargo and carries a certain load, there is a significant risk of the carton falling. Furthermore, once the carton has risen to a certain height, it is prone to falling when the bottom flap is flipped, causing damage to the clamp itself. Utility Model Content

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, in one embodiment, a side-suction carton deformation fixture includes: a support assembly 1, a rotating assembly 2 disposed above the support assembly 1, and a handling assembly 3 and a vision assembly 4 disposed below the support assembly 1. During use, after the handling assembly 3 on the support assembly 1 clamps the carton, it is displaced by the three-dimensional truss connected above the rotating assembly 2, and cooperates with the vision assembly 4 to detect the position of the carton during handling and stacking.

[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the support assembly 1 includes a support frame 11 and a connecting plate 12. The support frame 11 includes a first frame 111 and a second frame 112. The first frame 111 is fixed below the second frame 112 and is used to fix the transport assembly 3.

[0033] For example, a first driving cylinder 34 is provided inside the first frame 111 for driving the clamping plate 31 to open or close, thereby clamping or releasing the carton; a second driving cylinder 35 is provided outside the first frame 111 for driving the bottom flip plate 32 to flip, and after the clamping plate 31 clamps the carton, it rises to a certain height and clamps the bottom of the carton.

[0034] Furthermore, the connecting plate 12 includes a first fixing plate 121 and a second fixing plate 122. Specifically, the first fixing plate 121 is disposed on one side of the first frame 111, connecting adjacent first frames 111 together via the first fixing plate 121; the second fixing plate 122 is disposed at the bottom of the first frame 111, and is used to fix the finger clamping plate 31 and install the bottom flip plate 32.

[0035] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating assembly 2 includes a rotating device 21. The rotating device 21 is connected to the second frame 112, and a mounting plate 211 is mounted on the rotating device 21 for expanding and mounting other electrical equipment.

[0036] Furthermore, the visual component 4 includes a camera 41 and a light source 42, which are used to detect the placement of cartons. The camera is mounted below the second frame 112, while the light source 42 is symmetrically mounted to the side of the first frame 111. During operation, the light source 42 illuminates the camera 41, assisting it in detecting points in the palletizing area below and locating the placement of cartons in real time. This in turn adjusts the gripping direction of the gripper to grip and transport the cartons below.

[0037] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the handling assembly 3 includes a finger clamping plate 31, a bottom cover flip plate 32, and a vacuum suction cup 33. The bottom cover flip plate 32 is symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the bottom of the support assembly 1, while the finger clamping plate 31 and the vacuum suction cup 33 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the bottom of the support assembly 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the bottom flip plate 32 is detachably connected to the outer side of the clamping plate 31, and is driven by the second driving cylinder 35 to flip and hold the bottom of the carton; the vacuum suction cup 33 is detachably connected to the inner side of the clamping plate 31, and is used to adsorb the side of the carton.

[0039] Please continue reading Figure 6 The structure of the vacuum suction cup 33 includes a main body 331. The outer end surface of the main body 331 is covered with a sponge layer 332, which can enhance the sealing and gripping effect between the suction cup and the workpiece surface; the main body 331 is detachably connected to the clamping finger plate 31 through the mounting pin 333, and a vacuum generator is built into the main body 331. It has a high degree of integration, is easy to install, saves space, and has a long service life, thereby realizing the regulation and control of the internal pressure of the vacuum suction cup 33, so that the suction cup can firmly adsorb the surface of the carton.

[0040] Working principle: When the carton is transported to a fixed point, the rotating device 21 assists in positioning the carton in place and adjusts the gripping direction of the clamp at the same time. The clamp moves downward along the Z axis with the truss, and the first driving cylinder 34 drives the clamping finger plate 31 to clamp the carton. After the clamp moves upward along the Z axis with the truss for a distance, the second driving cylinder 35 outside the clamping finger plate 31 drives the bottom flip plate 32 to flip and hold the bottom of the carton; the clamp moves along the Z axis and X axis along the truss, and after clamping the carton above the stacking point, the second driving cylinder 35 drives the bottom flip plate 32 to flip and reset, and the clamping finger plate 31 keeps the carton clamped. After the clamp moves downward along the Z axis with the truss for a distance, the first driving cylinder 34 drives the clamping finger plate 31 to release the carton, and then the vacuum suction cup 33 releases the carton, and then the clamp returns along the original path to start the next transport workflow.

[0041] In this application, the first driving cylinder 34 can drive the clamping plate 31 to provide a larger clamping force, and the second driving cylinder 35 drives the bottom flip plate 32 to play an auxiliary supporting role; a vacuum suction cup 33 is installed on the inner side of the clamping plate 31, which can adaptively absorb the uneven side of the carton, effectively reducing the risk of the carton falling and damaging the clamp.

[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
