The conveying component 1 is used to convey products to be aligned, the frame 2 is straddled on the transmission component 1, the segmentation assembly 3 comprises a first adjustment assembly 31 disposed on the frame 2 and a material guide plate 32 in transmission connection with the first adjustment assembly 31, the arrangement direction of the material guide plate 32 being consistent with the conveying direction of the transmission component 1, the first adjustment assembly 31 being used to drive the material guide plate 32 to move horizontally and vertically on the transmission component 1, the alignment assembly 4 comprises a second adjustment assembly 41 disposed on the frame 2 and a material stop plate 42 in transmission connection with the second adjustment assembly 41, the arrangement direction of the material stop plate 42 being perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the material guide plate 32, the second adjustment assembly 41 being used to drive the material stop plate 42 to move horizontally and vertically on the transmission component 1, and the controller is electrically connected to the second adjustment assembly 41.

[0029] In this embodiment, the conveying component 1 can be a conveyor belt, and the product to be straightened is a cosmetic packaging box. The conveyor belt is used to convey the packaging box to the inkjet printer. During specific production, the distance between the guide plate 32 and the edge of the conveyor belt is adjusted by the first adjustment component 31 according to the size of the packaging box. This distance matches the length of the packaging box. At this time, the area formed by the guide plate 31 and the edge of the conveyor belt is the straightening area; then the relative position of the baffle plate 42 is adjusted by the second adjustment component 41 so that the baffle plate 42 is located in the middle of the straightening area. When a packaging box is conveyed on the conveyor belt, the guide plate 32 guides the packaging box into the straightening area. The controller controls the baffle plate 42 to press down to block the current packaging box and straighten the packaging box. After straightening, the controller controls the baffle plate 42 to rise, so that the packaging box flows into the next process for inkjet coding. The operation process is simple and fast, does not require manual participation, and has a high degree of automation, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0030] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the frame 2 is composed of four vertically arranged supporting legs and four cross bars arranged on the top of the supporting legs. The four cross bars form a rectangular frame, and the bottom ends of the four supporting legs are arranged on the two side edges of the conveying component 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the material guide component 3 and the straightening component 4 can be close to or away from each other. By adjusting the relative position of the material guide component 3 and the straightening component 4, the relative distance between the material guide plate 32 and the material blocking plate 42 can be adjusted to control the position of the material blocking plate 42 in the straightening area for blocking the material.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3A second dovetail groove 21 is provided at the top of the side of the frame 2, along the conveying direction of the conveyor assembly 1. Two second sliding blocks 22 are slidably connected within the second dovetail groove 21. The two second sliding blocks 22 are respectively connected to the ends of the material guide assembly 3 and the straightening assembly 4 via two fixing members 23. In this embodiment, two second dovetail grooves 21 are provided, and the two second dovetail grooves 21 are respectively located on the opposite side of the two crossbars opposite the width of the conveyor assembly 1.

The guide plate 32 is mounted at the output end of the first vertical adjustment mechanism 313. The first horizontal adjustment mechanism 312 drives the guide plate 32 to move along the width direction of the conveyor belt, while the first vertical adjustment mechanism 313 drives the guide plate 32 to move up and down.

[0034] Specifically, the first mounting frame 311 includes two symmetrically arranged support plates, the fixing member 23 passes through the support plate and is threadedly connected to the second sliding block 22. When adjusting the relative position of the material guide component 3 and the alignment component 4, the support plate can be moved, and the support plate drives the second sliding block 22 to move in the second dovetail groove 21. After moving to the specified position, the fixing member 23 is locked to position the support plate, thereby adjusting the relative position of the material guide component 3 and the alignment component 4.

[0035] Specifically, the first horizontal adjustment mechanism 312 includes a first screw rod 3121 rotatably connected to the first mounting frame 311, a first movable block 3122 threadedly sleeved on the first screw rod 3121, a first rotating portion 3123 arranged at the end of the first screw rod 3121, and a first guide rod 3124 arranged on the first mounting frame 311.

The setting direction of the first screw rod 3121 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying component 1. The first guide rod 3124 passes through the first movable block 3122 and provides guidance for the horizontal movement of the first movable block 3122. To adjust the horizontal position, the first rotating portion 3123 is rotated, which drives the first screw 3121 to rotate. Under the action of the first guide rod 3124, the first movable block 3122 moves back and forth along the first guide rod 3124 in the width direction of the conveyor belt, thereby driving the first vertical adjustment mechanism 313 to move. Compared with other transmission methods, the screw drive method has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, is low in cost, has a large axial transmission force, and has high positioning accuracy, making it more suitable for current working environments. In this embodiment, two first guide rods 3124 are provided, and the two guide rods 3124 are arranged in parallel. The first screw 3121 is located between the two guide rods 3124.

The vertical rod 3131 vertically passes through the first movable block 3122, and the bottom of the vertical rod 3131 is connected to the material guide plate 32. The locking member 3133 screws into the first movable block 3122 along the side of the first movable block 3122 and abuts against the side of the vertical rod 3131, thereby locking the vertical rod 3131. When adjustment is required, the pull rod 3132 can be pulled up or down, driving the material guide plate 32 up and down via the vertical rod 3131.
