[0047] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in FIG, the cotton swab box packaging machine of the present invention; Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , the paper card 100 targeted by the cotton swab box packaging machine includes a body 11 and a connecting arm 12 connected to the body 11; Figure 7 and Figure 8 The figure shows the packaging process to be performed by the above-mentioned cotton swab box packaging machine. First, the connecting arm 12 is folded so that the connecting arm 12 and the main body 11 are perpendicular to each other, and then the connecting arm 12 is inserted into the cotton swab 200. At this time, the main body 11 is located at the bottom of the cotton swab 200, and the end of the connecting arm 12 facing away from the main body 11 protrudes from the upper end of the cotton swab 200; the user can hold the connecting arm 12 to lift the cotton swab 200.

[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cotton swab box packaging machine of the present invention includes a paper card barrel 300, a feeding mechanism 400, a limiting mechanism 500 and a cotton swab fixture 600; the paper card barrel 300 is used to store paper cards 100, and the cotton swab fixture 600 is used to store multiple cotton swabs 200; the feeding mechanism 400 is used to take the paper card 100 and fold the paper card 100 so that the connecting arm 12 and the body 11 are perpendicular to each other, and finally the connecting arm 12 is inserted into the cotton swab 200; the limiting mechanism 500 is used to limit the connecting arm 12 to prevent the connecting arm 12 from deviating during the feeding process and thus being unable to be smoothly inserted into the cotton swab 200.

[0049] See also Figure 5 The paper card feed barrel 300 has a vertically extending cylindrical trough 31. A lateral opening 32 is provided on the side of the paper card feed barrel 300, communicating with the trough 31. When a paper card 100 is placed into the trough 31, the connecting arm 12 can extend through the lateral opening 32. The paper card feed barrel 300 is also equipped with a material blocking mechanism (not shown) to prevent the paper card 100 from falling out.

[0050] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4The material picking mechanism 400 includes a linear drive component 41, a lifting component 42 arranged above the linear drive component 41, a flip drive component 43 arranged at the upper end of the lifting component 42, and a flip table 44 fixedly connected to the flip drive component 43; a folding component 45 and an adsorption head 46 are fixedly provided on the side of the flip table 44 facing away from the flip drive component 43.

[0051] Specifically, the linear drive assembly 41 includes a linear guide 411, a slider 412 slidably connected to the linear guide 411, and a drive motor 413 driven by the slider 412; the drive motor 413 drives the slider 412 to move along the linear guide 411 to drive the material picking mechanism 400 to move closer to or away from the cotton swab fixture 600. The lifting assembly 42 includes a lifting cylinder 421 fixed to the upper end of the slider 412, a movable rod 422 extending from the upper end of the lifting cylinder 421, a connecting seat 423 connected to the upper end of the movable rod 422, and a flip drive assembly 43 fixed above the connecting seat 423; the lifting cylinder 421 drives the movable rod 422 to extend and retract, thereby driving the connecting seat 423 and the flip drive assembly 43 to move vertically up and down. The flip drive assembly 43 includes a flip cylinder 431. The flip table 44 is connected to the driving end of the flip cylinder 431. The flip cylinder 431 drives the flip table 44 to flip so that it faces the paper card barrel 300 or the cotton swab fixture 600. The folding member 45 includes a drive cylinder 451. The drive cylinder 451 is equipped with a swing arm 452 that is drive-connected to it. The drive cylinder 451 drives the swing arm 452 to swing. It should be noted that the moving surface of the swing arm 452 is parallel to the direction of the suction head 46. Connecting plates 47 are extended on both sides of the folding component 45. The connecting plates 47 are provided with connecting holes. The adsorption head 46 is arranged in the connecting holes. A buffer spring 461 is provided on the outside of the adsorption head 46. A connecting nut 462 is fixed on the outside of the adsorption head 46. One end of the buffer spring 461 is connected to the connecting nut 462, and the other end of the buffer spring 461 is connected to the connecting plate 47. When the adsorption head 46 contacts the paper card 100, the buffer spring 461 provides a buffering force to improve the adsorption stability of the adsorption head 46 on the paper card 100.

[0052] Next, the working steps of the material taking mechanism 400 are described in detail:

[0053] 1. The linear drive assembly 41 drives the suction head 46 to move to the bottom of the paper card barrel 300, and the lifting assembly 42 drives the suction head 46 close to the paper card 100 in the paper card barrel 300;

[0054] Second, the suction head 46 is vacuumed to absorb the paper card 100; specifically, the suction position of the suction head 46 is the main body of the paper card 100;

[0055] 3. The flip drive assembly 43 drives the flip table 44 to flip the paper card 100 so that it faces the cotton swab fixture 600;

[0056] 4. As shown in the figure, the driving cylinder 451 drives the swing arm 452 to swing 90 degrees, thereby folding the connecting arm 12 so that the connecting arm 12 and the body 11 are perpendicular to each other;

[0057] 5. The linear drive assembly 41 and the lifting assembly 42 move in coordination, driving the connecting arm 12 to be inserted into the cotton swab 200 , and the body 11 is located at the bottom of the cotton swab 200 .

[0058] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The limiting mechanism 500 includes a clamping claw 51 provided at the front end of the material picking mechanism 400, and two clamping arms 52 symmetrically distributed and driven and connected to the upper end of the clamping claw 51. The opposite surfaces of the clamping arms 52 are provided with corresponding grooves 53. At the same time, the limiting mechanism 500 also includes a lifting plate 54 provided at the lower end of the clamping claw 51, and a first lifting cylinder 55 provided at the lower end of the lifting plate 54. When the paper card 100 needs to be inserted into the cotton swab 200, the first lifting cylinder 55 drives the lifting plate 54 to move upward so that the clamping arm 52 and the adsorption head 46 are at the same height; the clamping claw 51 drives the two clamping arms 52 to move closer, and at this time the two grooves 53 form a long strip of hole. During the feeding process of the paper card 100, the connecting arm 12 of the paper card 100 passes through the hole. The hole acts as a limiter on the connecting arm 12, thereby preventing the connecting arm 12 from deflecting and affecting the packaging quality.

[0059] See also Figure 6 The cotton swab jig 600 includes a first pressing member 61, a second pressing member 62, and a push module 63 drivably connected to the second pressing member 62. The push module 63 drives the second pressing member 62 toward or away from the first pressing member 61. Furthermore, the opposing surfaces of the first and second pressing members 61, 62 are each provided with a curved pressing surface 64. During the packaging process, multiple cotton swabs 200 are stacked between the first and second pressing members 61, 62. The push module 63 drives the second pressing member 62 toward the first pressing member 61, thereby arranging the cotton swabs 200 into a rectangular or cylindrical shape, such as to match the shape of the cotton swab box 200.

[0060] Specifically, the cotton swab jig 600 further includes a partition 65 disposed between the first pressing member 61 and the second pressing member 62, with an opening 651 provided on the partition 65. It also includes a pressure plate 66 disposed vertically on the side of the cotton swab jig 600 near the material removal mechanism 400. A second lifting cylinder 661 is provided on one side of the pressure plate 66 and is connected thereto; the second lifting cylinder 661 drives the pressure plate 66 to move vertically. The connecting arm 12 extends into the opening 651 of the partition 65 until the body 11 of the paper card 100 abuts the partition 65. At this point, the second lifting cylinder 661 drives the pressure plate 66 to move vertically downward, thereby compressing the paper card 100 and preventing it from detaching during subsequent processing.

[0061] The working principle of the cotton swab box packaging machine involved in this utility model is as follows:

[0062] The material removal mechanism 400 removes the paper card 100 from the paper card barrel 300; the processed cotton swab 200 is placed into the cotton swab jig 600. The folding member 45 folds the paper card 100 so that the body 11 and the connecting arm 12 are perpendicular to each other. The linear drive assembly 41 drives the paper card 100 toward the cotton swab jig 600, and during this process, the limiting mechanism 500 limits the paper card 100. The linear drive assembly 41 stops operating until the connecting arm 12 of the paper card 100 extends into the opening 651 of the partition 65. The cotton swab jig 600 is then moved to the next station, and the cotton swab 200, carrying the paper card 100, is pushed into the cotton swab box 200 using a push cylinder, completing the packaging of the cotton swab 200.

[0063] Compared with the prior art, the cotton swab box packaging machine involved in the present invention includes a paper card barrel 300, a material picking mechanism 400, a limiting mechanism 500 and a cotton swab fixture 600; wherein the material picking mechanism 400 includes a flipping drive component 43, a folding component 45 and an adsorption head 46; it automatically realizes the picking of the paper card 100, and flips and folds the paper card 100; and transfers the paper card 100 to the cotton swab fixture 600 through the linear drive component 41 and the lifting component 42; mechanized completion of the above packaging steps improves packaging accuracy and speed; in addition, the limiting mechanism 500 uses the clamping air claw 51 to drive the clamping arm 52 to tighten, so as to ensure the movement stability of the paper card 100 during the feeding process, so as to prevent the paper card 100 from running off and unable to be inserted into the cotton swab 200; further improving the packaging quality of the cotton swab 200.

[0064] The above merely represents the preferred technical solution of the present invention. While the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the present invention is intended to encompass such modifications and variations.
