Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of angle adjustment equipment, in particular to a box body adjustment device. Background Art

[0002] Box packaging and organization are crucial processes in industries like logistics, warehousing, and product distribution. When multiple boxes need to be neatly and orderly packed into boxes for transport or storage, ensuring that each box is oriented in the same direction not only improves packing efficiency but also reduces errors during subsequent sorting, retrieval, and retrieval, streamlining the overall workflow.

[0003] Some of these boxes are labeled with specific labels, which usually contain important product information, barcodes, serial numbers, or operating instructions. These labels are crucial for tracking the flow of goods, ensuring product quality, and meeting customer needs. If the label side is not oriented in a unified way, it may make it difficult to quickly identify the label information during subsequent processing, increase the time cost of manual scanning and verification, and may even cause incorrect operations due to obscured or difficult-to-read labels, affecting logistics efficiency and accuracy. The traditional practice is to manually check and adjust the label side direction of each box one by one before packing, but this method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to errors in large-scale packaging operations, especially during peak periods, when the error rate of manual operations will further increase.

[0024] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a box adjustment device is used to remove a box 200 from a plastic box 100 and adjust the label position of the box 200 before sending it to the next process. It includes a workbench 1 and an adjustment mechanism 2. The adjustment mechanism 2 is slidably connected to the workbench 1. The top of the adjustment mechanism 2 is used to support the box 200. The adjustment mechanism 2 has a degree of freedom of rotation in the horizontal plane and a degree of freedom of translation in the vertical direction to drive the box 200 to rotate or move up and down in the vertical direction. The frame 11 is fixed with multiple detectors 3. The detectors 3 are arranged toward the adjustment mechanism 2 to detect the position of the label on the side wall of the box 200. The detectors 3 are electrically connected to the adjustment mechanism 2 and provide feedback to the adjustment mechanism 2 so that the adjustment mechanism 2 can adjust the angle of the box 200.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the frame 11 is fixed with a heavy-load guide rail 12 and a transfer mechanism 4. Preferably, the frame 11 is a frame structure, the heavy-load guide rail 12 is fixed inside the frame 11, and the heavy-load guide rail 12 is horizontally arranged, and the sliding direction of the heavy-load guide rail 12 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the adjustment mechanism 2.

[0028] The transfer mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the heavy-duty guide rail 12. In this embodiment, the sliding direction of the transfer mechanism 4 is the same as the sliding direction of the adjustment mechanism 2. The transfer mechanism 4 includes a transfer rail 41 and a transfer fixture 42. The transfer rail 41 is vertically arranged with the heavy-duty guide rail 12, and the transfer rail 41 is horizontally arranged. The transfer rail 41 is slidably connected to the heavy-duty guide rail 12, and the transfer fixture 42 is slidably connected to the transfer rail 41. The transfer rail 41 cooperates with the heavy-duty guide rail 12, so that the transfer fixture 42 can be moved to any position above the platform to transfer the box body 200.

[0029] Specifically, the transport fixture 42 includes a transport slide block 421 and a first clamping driver 422. In this embodiment, the first clamping driver 422 is a motor. The housing of the first clamping driver 422 is fixed to the transport slide block 421, and the transport slide block 421 is slidably connected to the transport guide rail 41. Preferably, the movement of the transport slide block 421 and the transport guide rail 41 is driven by a motor or a cylinder. This allows the transport fixture 42 to transport the box body 200 at any position on the platform.

[0030] The sliding block is slidably connected to a first transfer jaw 423 and a second transfer jaw 424. The first transfer jaw 423 and the second transfer jaw 424 are both transmission-connected to the output end of the first clamping driver 422. Specifically, the output end of the first clamping driver 422 drives the first transfer jaw 423 and the second transfer jaw 424 to move respectively via a gear belt transmission. The first transfer jaw 423 and the second transfer jaw 424 open and close along the length direction of the transfer guide rail 41 to clamp the box body 200.

[0031] Preferably, the clamping end of the first transfer jaw 423 and the clamping end of the second transfer jaw 424 are both clamping plates, and the clamping end of the first transfer jaw 423 and the clamping end of the second transfer jaw 424 are arranged parallel to each other. Since the box body 200 is a cubic structure, the clamping end of the first transfer jaw 423 and the clamping end of the second transfer jaw 424 fit into the two opposite sides of the box body 200, and the angle of the box body 200 is adjusted to facilitate the loading operation in the next step.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, the workbench 1 is provided with a supporting guide rail 13, which is arranged parallel to the heavy-load guide rail 12. The adjustment mechanism 2 includes a bearing platform 21, which is slidably connected to the supporting guide rail 13. The bearing platform 21 is fixedly provided with a lifting platform 22 and a lifting cylinder 23. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the bearing platform 21, and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 23 is arranged in a vertical direction. The lifting platform 22 is horizontally fixed to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 23. The lifting cylinder 23 drives the lifting platform 22 to rise the box body 200 so that the box body 200 is at the height of the transfer fixture 42 for clamping by the transfer fixture 42. The lifting platform 22 is provided with a rotating motor 24, the housing of the rotating motor 24 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 22, and the output end of the rotating motor 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating platform 25. The rotating platform 25 is arranged horizontally to support the box body 200 to rotate on the horizontal plane.

[0033] The support platform 21 is equipped with a second clamping drive 26, a first adjustment jaw 27, and a second adjustment jaw 28. The second clamping drive 26 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 22, and the first and second adjustment jaws 27, 28 are transmission-connected to the output ends of the second clamping drive 26. The first and second adjustment jaws 27, 28 are both slidably connected to the lifting platform 22 along the length of the support rail 13. The clamping ends of the first and second adjustment jaws 27, 28 are parallel plates. The rotating platform 25 rotates between the first and second adjustment jaws 27, 28. The minimum clamping stroke of the first and second adjustment jaws 27, 28 is equal to the width of the rotating platform 25 in the direction of the support rail 13. The first and second adjustment jaws 27, 28 clamp the box body 200 along the support rail 13, positioning and adjusting the position of the box body 200.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the workbench 1 is provided with a plurality of lifting mechanisms 5. Preferably, the plurality of lifting mechanisms 5 are distributed along the length of the support rail 13, so that the path from the box body 200 raised from the lifting mechanism 5 to the rotating platform 25 is the shortest, greatly improving the transfer efficiency of the box body 200. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a lifting platform 51, a limit assembly 52, and a lifting assembly 53. The lifting platform 51 is fixed to the workbench 1 and is provided with a plurality of rollers. The rotation axes of the plurality of rollers are parallel and located on the same horizontal plane to support the previous process. That is, the plastic box 100 containing the box body 200 is transferred to the lifting platform 51 via a conveyor belt or rollers and supported by the rollers within the lifting platform 51. Since the top and bottom of the plastic box 100 are open, the rollers roll and rub against the box body 200 inside the plastic box 100, preventing the box body 200 from being worn.

[0035] In this embodiment, two sets of position-limiting assemblies 52 are provided. Both sets of position-limiting assemblies 52 are fixed to the top edge of the lifting platform 51 and are arranged opposite each other to limit the plastic box 100. Specifically, the position-limiting assemblies 52 include a position-limiting driver 521 and a position-limiting block 522. The position-limiting driver 521 is fixed to the top edge of the lifting platform 51, and the position-limiting block 522 is driven by the position-limiting driver 521 to move toward the outer wall of the plastic box 100. Because the outer wall of the plastic box 100 is recessed inward, the position-limiting block 522 abuts the recessed portion of the plastic box 100, thereby limiting the movement of the plastic box 100.

[0036] A bracket 14 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the workbench 1 facing away from the frame 11, and the jacking assembly 53 is connected to the bottom of the workbench 1 through the bracket 14. Specifically, the jacking assembly 53 includes a jacking motor 531 and a transmission screw 532. The jacking motor 531 is fixed on the bracket 14, and the transmission screw 532 is vertically rotated and connected between the bracket 14 and the workbench 1. A number of connecting rods 533 are fixed to the outside of the transmission screw 532. The connecting rods 533 slide through the workbench 1 in the vertical direction. A suction cup 534 is fixed on one end of the connecting rod 533 extending out of the workbench 1 to adsorb the box body 200, so as to avoid the risk of the box body 200 being offset or even slipping during the process of ejecting the box body 200.

[0037] Implementation principle: The plastic box 100 loaded with the box body 200 moves to the lifting platform 51. The limit assembly 52 clamps the plastic box 100. The lifting assembly 53 pushes the box body 200 upward from the bottom of the plastic box 100. The transfer fixture 42 moves the box body 200 parallel to the rotating table 25 via the heavy-duty guide rails 12 and the transfer guide rails 41. The lifting platform 22 descends, allowing the box body 200 to separate from the transfer fixture 42. The detector 3 scans the label position of the box body 200 and transmits a signal to the rotating motor 24. The rotating motor 24 drives the box body 200 to rotate and adjust the position of the box body 200. Then the lifting platform 22 rises, the first transfer jaw 423 and the second transfer jaw 424 clamp the box body 200, and the first adjustment jaw 27 and the second adjustment jaw 28 clamp the box body 200, so that the position of the box body 200 is adjusted in two directions. Finally, the transfer fixture 42 drives the box body 200 off the rotating table 25 to enter the next process.

[0038] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive.
