[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The utility model provides a storage device for carton production, which mainly includes a frame 1. The top of the frame 1 is equipped with a translation motor 3 and a screw 4, as well as a support plate 2 connected to the nut of the screw 4. The main function of the translation motor 3 and the screw 4 is to drive the support plate 2 to slide on the frame 1 to achieve horizontal displacement; a lifting motor 5, a lifting frame 6 and a lifting screw 7 are installed on the support plate 2, and the lifting screw 7 is connected to the lifting frame 6 and its nut is rotatably set on the support plate 2 and driven by the lifting motor 5; when the lifting motor 5 rotates, the lifting frame 6 is driven by the lifting screw 7 to perform lifting movement; a clamping claw mechanism 8 is connected to the lower end of the lifting frame 6.

[0021] Reference Figure 3 The clamping mechanism 8 includes a connecting plate 801, below which are installed two parallel guide rails 802; two clamping support plates 803 are installed between the two guide rails 802. In actual application, the clamping support plates 803 slide on the guide rails 802 and are fixed by bolts to accommodate folding cartons of more sizes; a clamping slide 804 is installed sliding on the clamping support plate 803, and a clamping plate 805 is fixedly installed on the clamping slide 804; when working, the two sets of clamping slides 804 can slide closer to or farther away from each other on the clamping support plate 803, thereby achieving clamping and releasing of the carton.

[0022] In order to realize the clamping function, a guide rod 807 and a clamping spring 808 are installed between the two groups of clamping claw slides 804, a traction support 806 is installed on the clamping claw slide 804, and the guide rod 807 is fixed on the connecting plate 801. The two ends of the guide rod 807 pass through the two traction supports 806 respectively, and a clamping spring 808 is provided on the section passing through the traction support 806. One end of the clamping spring 808 is connected to the guide rod 807, and the other end is pressed against the traction support 806. In this way, when it is necessary to clamp the carton, the clamping spring 808 will provide sufficient elastic force to make the two groups of clamping claw slides 804 approach each other and clamp the carton.

[0023] In order to realize the opening and closing function, a driving rod 809, a connecting rod 820 and a tilting rod 811 are provided in the clamping mechanism 8. The driving rod 809 passes through the two guide rails 802 and is fixedly mounted with a rotating shaft seat 821. The rotating shaft seat 821 and the traction support 806 are rotatably connected through the connecting rod 820. When the driving rod 809 moves, the two clamping jaw slides 804 are driven away from each other through the connecting rod 820 to realize the opening and closing. One end of the driving rod 809 is also hinged with a tilting rod 811, and a tilting rod support 810 is provided on the guide rail 802. The tilting rod 811 and the tilting rod support 810 are also rotatably connected. A blocking piece (not shown) that cooperates with the tilting rod 811 is installed on the frame 1. Figure 1 When the clamping mechanism 8 moves to the carton bracket 9, the baffle contacts the end of the tilting rod 811 away from the driving rod 809, thereby pulling the driving rod 809 to move the two clamping slides 804 away, causing the folding carton 11 clamped on the clamping plate 805 to fall into the carton.

[0024] In order to fix the driving rod 809 after the clamp is opened, a locking mechanism 812 is provided on the guide rail 802, which is composed of a locking rod 813, a limit plate 814, a locking spring 816, and an adjustment plate 815. The main function of the locking mechanism 812 is to fix the tilting rod 811 on the guide rail 802, thereby preventing the driving rod 809 from moving.

[0025] Reference Figure 4The locking mechanism 812 includes two locking rods 813, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the driving rod 809. The upper ends of the locking rods 813 pass through the connecting plate 801. A limit plate 814 and a locking spring 816 are installed on the locking rod 813 between the connecting plate 801 and the guide rail 802. The upper and lower ends of the locking spring 816 are respectively pressed against the connecting plate 801 and the limit plate 814. The lower end of the locking rod 813 passes through the guide rail 802 and is provided with an adjustment plate 815. The driving rod 809 is on the adjustment plate. 815 and the limiting plate 814, the cylindrical distance between the two locking rods 813 is smaller than the diameter of the driving rod 809, and a locking groove 818 adapted to the locking rod 813 is also provided on the locking rod 813. In the locked state, the outer cylindrical surface of the locking rod 813 is in the locking groove 818, so that the driving rod 809 cannot move; an unlocking surface 817 is provided on the locking rod 813 between the limiting plate 814 and the adjusting plate 815; the distance between the two unlocking surfaces 817 is greater than the diameter of the driving rod 809.

[0026] After the tilting rod 811 contacts the baffle to open the two clamps 805, the outer cylindrical surface of the locking rod 813 is in the locking groove 818 to lock the driving rod 809, thereby keeping the two clamps 805 in the open state; the clamping claw mechanism 8 moves to above the folding carton 11 on the conveyor belt 10, and descends under the drive of the lifting motor 5. When the unlocking support foot 819 installed on the adjustment plate 815 contacts the folding carton 11, it pushes the locking rod 813 to rise, so that the unlocking section 817 is opposite to the driving rod 809 and is unlocked. Under the action of the clamping spring 808, the two clamps 805 approach each other to clamp the folding carton 11.

[0027] The unlocking leg 819 is threadedly connected to the adjustment plate 815. By rotating the unlocking leg 819, its extension length can be adjusted to accommodate folding cartons 11 of different thicknesses.

[0028] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
