[0026] The utility model provides a packaging box circulation tool.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the packaging box transfer tool 10 is provided with a limiting groove 10a, and the limiting groove 10a is used to clamp the packaging box 1 to be packaged.

[0028] The packaging box transfer tool 10 is a rectangular structure made of high-strength, wear-resistant material to ensure overall stability and durability. The surface of the packaging box transfer tool 10 is equipped with anti-slip pads to prevent the packaging box 1 from sliding during circulation. A retaining groove 10a is provided on the front of the packaging box transfer tool 10 to retain the packaging box 1. The retaining groove 10a is made of wear-resistant material and its shape corresponds to the shape of the packaging box 1, ensuring that the packaging box 1 can be accurately retained in the groove during circulation.

[0029] Place the packaging box transfer tool 10 on the conveyor line, ensuring stable contact between the tool and the conveyor line. Place the packaging box 1 into the retaining groove 10a. Gravity will automatically lock the box 1 into the groove, preventing it from slipping during the transfer process. While the packaging operation is underway, the box 1 will remain in the retaining groove 10a of the packaging box transfer tool 10.

[0030] The packaging box circulation tooling 10 is provided with a limiting groove 10a. The setting of the limiting groove 10a enables the packaging box 1 to be packaged to be accurately inserted into the groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the packaging box 1 during the circulation process within the same time. At the same time, the precise positioning of the limiting groove 10a greatly reduces the adjustment time of the packaging box 1 during the circulation process, making the entire packaging process smoother and improving production efficiency.

[0031] Due to the accurate positioning of the limiting groove 10a, the packaging box 1 can be fixed in position in cooperation with the packaging equipment, and the packaging box 1 will not be displaced during the circulation process, thereby adapting to the automated packaging process of the packaging box 1 and improving the packaging efficiency of the packaging box 1. This makes the product more stable during transportation and storage, reducing the risk of damage.

[0032] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least two adsorption ports are provided at the bottom of the limiting groove 10a, and the two adsorption ports are used to communicate with the negative pressure source to adsorb the packaging box 1 inserted into the limiting groove 10a.

[0033] Specifically, the limiting groove 10a is a rectangular structure with a smooth bottom and vertical side walls. The groove depth matches the height of the packaging box 1. At least two suction ports are set at the bottom of the groove. In this embodiment, four suction ports are provided, which are evenly distributed in the center area of ​​the bottom of the groove.

[0034] Guide posts are provided on both sides of the retaining groove 10a. The height of the guide posts matches the depth of the retaining groove 10a to ensure that the packaging box 1 can be stably placed in the retaining groove 10a. A gap of approximately 2 mm is provided between the guide posts and the groove wall to ensure that the packaging box 1 can be smoothly inserted into the retaining groove 10a.

[0035] The suction port at the bottom of the retaining groove 10a is connected to a negative pressure source via a flexible hose. The negative pressure source can be a vacuum pump or other device capable of generating negative pressure. When the negative pressure source is activated, the suction port generates negative pressure, which holds the package 1 inserted into the retaining groove 10a in place, preventing it from slipping during transport.

[0036] Place the packaging box 1 at the entrance of the limiting groove 10a; turn on the negative pressure source to generate negative pressure at the adsorption port; the packaging box 1 is adsorbed on the bottom of the limiting groove 10a under the action of the negative pressure; when carrying the packaging box 1, the guide columns on both sides of the limiting groove 10a play a guiding role to ensure that the packaging box 1 is placed stably; when the packaging box 1 reaches the destination, turn off the negative pressure source and the packaging box 1 falls off naturally.

[0037] This utility model improves the positioning accuracy and stability of the packaging box 1. By providing at least two suction ports, the suction force generated by the negative pressure source is evenly distributed across the bottom of the packaging box 1, ensuring that the packaging box 1 is accurately positioned within the retaining groove 10a. This prevents displacement or damage to the packaging box 1 caused by vibration, collision, and other factors during transportation, handling, or processing. This improvement is of great significance for improving packaging production efficiency and reducing product loss.

[0038] Conventional packaging equipment often requires manual placement of packaging boxes 1 into the limiting grooves 10a one by one, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to operational errors. However, the present invention uses negative pressure adsorption to automatically adsorb packaging boxes 1 into the limiting grooves 10a, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency.

[0039] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The edge of the limiting groove 10a is provided with a transition arc surface, and the transition arc surface is arranged around the periphery of the groove of the limiting groove 10a.

[0040] In conventional designs of the retaining groove 10a, the edges of the groove are often right-angled. This design easily generates stress concentration at the groove edge when subjected to external forces, causing material fatigue or even damage. However, the transition arc design of the present invention can effectively disperse stress and reduce stress concentration, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the product.

[0041] Due to the characteristics of the curved surface, it can better fit with the mating parts during the assembly process, thereby improving assembly accuracy, reducing gaps and looseness caused by inaccurate assembly, and further improving the overall performance of the product.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The groove wall of the limiting groove 10a is provided with an elastic layer.

[0043] Specifically, the groove body is made of a high-strength material with excellent wear and impact resistance. The elastic layer is made of a material with excellent elasticity and wear resistance, such as rubber or silicone. The elastic layer effectively cushions the impact of moving parts on the groove body during movement, reducing wear and extending the service life of the retaining groove 10a. The thickness of the elastic layer can be adjusted according to the specific application scenario.

[0044] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The packaging box circulation tooling 10 is also provided with at least two positioning protrusions 10b, which are respectively located on both sides of the notch of the limiting groove 10a, and are used to limit the box pages of the packaging box 1.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, four positioning protrusions 10b are evenly distributed at the four corners of the bottom plate. The positioning protrusions 10b are of moderate height and can fit tightly with the box leaves of the packaging box 1 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the packaging box 1 during circulation.

[0046] The height of positioning protrusion 10b is slightly lower than the thickness of the packaging box 1. Positioning protrusion 10b is made of a wear-resistant, impact-resistant plastic or metal material with a smooth surface, making it easy to contact the packaging box 1. Positioning protrusion 10b is used to define the position of the packaging box 1. During the circulation of packaging box 1, positioning protrusion 10b is in close contact with the packaging box 1, effectively preventing the packaging box 1 from shifting during circulation and ensuring the stability of packaging box 1 during circulation.

[0047] In conventional packaging box transfer tooling 10, the lack of a precise positioning structure often leads to deviations in the position of the packaging pages, affecting packaging efficiency and quality. The positioning protrusions 10b of the present invention are precisely located on both sides of the notch of the limiting groove 10a, accurately defining the position of the packaging pages of the packaging box 1, thereby effectively avoiding deviations in the position of the packaging pages and greatly improving the positioning accuracy of the packaging box 1.

[0048] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each positioning protrusion 10b includes two positioning strips 101b, one end of the two positioning strips 101b is connected, and the two positioning strips 101b are set at an angle; the two positioning strips 101b are respectively used to define the edges of two adjacent box pages.

[0049] Specifically, each positioning protrusion 10b includes two positioning bars 101b, which are connected at one end by a connector to form the main structure of the positioning protrusion 10b. The two positioning bars 101b are arranged at an angle, and the angle θ is preferably between 45° and 90°. The specific angle can be adjusted according to actual usage requirements.

[0050] In the positioning protrusion 10b, the two positioning strips 101b are respectively used to define the edges of two adjacent box pages. The surfaces of the two positioning strips 101b are provided with anti-skid and wear-resistant materials, such as rubber, silicone, etc., to ensure that sufficient friction and stability can be provided when defining the edges of the box pages. When the box pages need to be positioned, the operator places the edges of the two adjacent box pages between the two positioning strips 101b. Since the positioning strips 101b are set at an angle, the edges of the adjacent box pages are naturally aligned, and the anti-skid and wear-resistant material on the positioning strips 101b can effectively prevent the box pages from sliding. The utility model effectively defines the edges of the box pages by setting two positioning strips 101b, thereby ensuring the neat arrangement of the box pages and improving the overall quality of the product.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The packaging box circulation tooling 10 has at least two fixed areas, both of which are arranged adjacent to the limiting groove 10a and are located on opposite sides of the limiting groove 10a; a fixing structure 10c is set on the fixed area, and the fixing structure 10c is used to fix the box pages of the packaging box 1.

[0052] The present invention effectively improves the stability of the packaging box 1 during circulation by providing at least two fixed areas, both of which are located adjacent to the limiting groove 10a and on opposite sides of the limiting groove 10a. This design overcomes the problems of the prior art in which the packaging box 1 is prone to displacement and collision during circulation, ensuring the accurate positioning of the packaging box 1 throughout the circulation process, thereby significantly reducing the rate of damage to the packaging box 1 caused by inaccurate positioning.

[0053] The fixing structure 10c provided on the fixing area is specifically used for fixing the box pages of the packaging box 1, ensuring the firmness of the box pages of the packaging box 1 during circulation, making it less likely for the packaging box 1 to be deformed or damaged during circulation, thereby improving the overall quality of the packaging box 1.

[0054] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing structure 10c is a plurality of adsorption holes 101c, which are arranged in an array. Each adsorption hole 101c is used to communicate with a vacuum device to adsorb and fix the box pages of the packaging box 1.

[0055] The adsorption hole 101c array is composed of a plurality of adsorption holes 101c, forming an orderly array arrangement. This array arrangement is conducive to evenly distributing the adsorption force, ensuring that the box pages of the packaging box 1 can be firmly adsorbed on the fixed structure 10c.

[0056] The connecting pipe is made of stainless steel, and its length is determined based on actual needs. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the adsorption hole array 101c, and the other end is connected to the vacuum equipment. The connection pipe ensures effective communication between the adsorption holes 101c and the vacuum equipment, allowing the negative pressure generated by the vacuum equipment to be transmitted to the adsorption holes 101c, thereby generating adsorption force.

[0057] When the vacuum device is activated, negative pressure is transmitted through the connecting pipe to the array of suction holes 101c, causing the suction holes 101c to generate suction force. At this time, the operator places the box leaf of the packaging box 1 on the fixing base. Each suction hole 101c in the array of suction holes 101c can closely contact the box leaf, thereby sucking and fixing the packaging box 1.

[0058] The array design of suction holes 101c in this utility model ensures a more uniform spatial distribution of the suction and fixation structure 10c, effectively preventing problems such as positional shifting or deformation of the packaging box 1 pages due to uneven suction force distribution. Because each suction hole 101c is connected to a vacuum device, this utility model achieves rapid and uniform suction when securing the packaging box 1 pages. This not only improves packaging efficiency but also reduces the complexity of manual operations, thereby increasing production efficiency while also reducing production costs.

[0059] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention also provides an automatic packaging device for packaging boxes 1, comprising a transmission line and a gripping robot. The transmission line is provided with a plurality of placement positions, each placement position being used to place a packaging box transfer tool 10 as described above; the gripping robot is provided on the transmission line and is used to grab the upper cover of the packaging box 1 on the packaging box transfer tool 10 to complete the opening and closing of the packaging box 1. The specific structure of the first theme refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the second theme adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0060] The automatic packaging equipment for packaging boxes 1 achieves efficient and automated packaging of packaging boxes 1 through the cooperation of a conveyor line and a gripping robot. The multiple placement positions set on the conveyor line can ensure the stable placement of the packaging box flow tooling 10, avoiding shaking and collisions during the transmission process, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the packaging boxes 1 during the circulation process.

[0061] Secondly, the gripping robot is cleverly designed to grasp the top cover of the packaging box 1 on the packaging box transfer tool 10, automating the opening and closing of the packaging box 1. This technical feature significantly improves packaging efficiency, reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operations, and also reduces the risk of packaging box 1 damage and poor packaging due to improper manual operation.

[0062] Furthermore, the present invention improves production efficiency while significantly improving packaging quality. Due to the precise control of the gripping manipulator, the upper cover of the packaging box 1 can be opened and closed accurately, ensuring the tightness and aesthetics of the packaging, thereby improving the market competitiveness of the product.

[0063] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
