Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of carton transfer, in particular to a suction cup structure for transferring and conveying cartons. Background Art
[0002] At present, in the transportation of carton products, it is often necessary to adjust the mechanical device to the corresponding angle to place the product in the specified position. However, the existing carton stacking mechanical device usually uses a stacking mechanical arm and a suction cup sponge group installed on it to absorb and transport the cartons; but this type of mechanical device often has the problem of loose absorption when adsorbing the cartons, and the cartons are easy to fall, which can easily cause the cartons to deform and be damaged. Moreover, this type of device can only absorb and transport cartons of fixed sizes, and its function is relatively simple. Among them, the application number is "CN202123358591.4", which is a vacuum suction cup for carton transfer. When adsorbing and transporting cartons of different sizes, the new type of device first drives the carton to move. The horizontal plate moves downward to press the vacuum suction cup against the upper surface of the carton to be transferred. The vacuum suction cup in contact with the carton is compressed by the top pressure, and at the same time, the sleeve is driven to move upward relative to the interface to pull the pull rope to release the blocking ball from the conical cavity. The conical cavity in the vacuum suction cup that is not in contact with the carton remains blocked by the blocking ball, which can effectively improve the adsorption capacity of the vacuum suction cup during operation, reduce the power loss of the vacuum generating device, and improve work efficiency. However, there is still room for improvement when using the transfer suction cup: the transfer suction cup has a single structure. For some packaging processing industries, the straps used to fix the surface of the carton cannot be cut and removed when the carton is automatically loaded, so manual removal of the straps is required, which takes up labor and increases costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a suction cup structure for transferring and conveying cartons, so as to solve the problem that the transfer suction cup structure proposed in the above-mentioned background technology is single, and for some packaging processing industries, the straps used to fix the surface of the cartons cannot be cut and removed when the cartons are automatically loaded, so that the straps need to be removed manually, which takes up manpower and increases costs.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a suction cup structure for transferring and conveying cartons, comprising: a mounting side plate, a thread taking-up assembly, and a cutting assembly;
[0005] Wherein: there are two mounting side panels, an air guide tube is fixedly installed between the inner sides of the two ends of the two mounting side panels, and two mounting feet are fixedly installed on the inner sides of the ends away from each other;
[0006] The thread take-up assembly includes a pneumatic push rod hingedly mounted on the surface of the mounting foot piece, a guide rod is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the mounting side plate between the two air guide tubes, a slide is slidably mounted on the surface of the guide rod, a thread take-up plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the slide, a connecting block is mounted on one side of the slide, and the telescopic end of the pneumatic push rod is connected to the connecting block;
[0007] The cutting assembly includes a cylinder fixedly mounted on the top of the slide, a mounting plate fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the cylinder, a cutting blade fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate, and a clamping block mounted on the other side of the mounting plate, and the cutting blade and the clamping block are distributed on both sides of the wire picking plate.
[0008] As a preferred solution of the present invention: a diversion hole is opened through the inside of the air guide tube, a plurality of suction cups are installed at the bottom of the air guide tube corresponding to the diversion hole, and an air inlet hole is opened on the surface of the installation side plate corresponding to the diversion hole.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the present invention: a fixing plate is fixedly installed in the middle of the two air guide tubes, and a connecting shaft is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixing plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0014] (1) A pneumatic push rod is hinged on the surface of the mounting foot piece. The telescopic end of the pneumatic push rod is connected to the connecting block on one side of the slide. When the pneumatic push rod pushes the connecting block, the slide follows and slides on the surface of the guide rod. The movement of the slide drives the bottom pick-up plate to move closer to the mounting side plate. The pick-up plate passes through the strap on the surface of the carton, so that the strap is located on the surface of the pick-up plate, which is convenient for subsequent cutting.
[0015] (2) Through the provided cutting assembly, when the wire picking plate picks out the binding tape, the cylinder on the top of the slide is controlled to extend, and the cylinder pushes the mounting plate at the telescopic end toward the wire picking plate. A cutting blade is installed on one side of the mounting plate, and a clamping block is installed on the other side. When the cutting blade and the clamping block approach the wire picking plate, the cutting blade cuts the binding tape, and the clamping block clamps the binding tape on the side corresponding to the wire picking plate. At this time, the robot arm drives the device to move to the recovery position, and the cylinder retracts to separate the clamping block from the wire picking plate, and the binding tape falls off.

[0025] During specific use: a pneumatic push rod 41 is hinged on the surface of the mounting foot piece 3, and the telescopic end of the pneumatic push rod 41 is connected to the connecting block 45 on one side of the slide 43. When the pneumatic push rod 41 pushes the connecting block 45, the slide 43 follows and slides on the surface of the guide rod 42. The movement of the slide 43 drives the bottom pick-up plate 44 to approach the mounting side panel 1, and the strap is passed through the surface of the carton through the pick-up plate 44, so that the strap is located on the surface of the pick-up plate 44, which is convenient for subsequent cutting.
