[0023] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of the utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show several embodiments of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the text. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive. Example

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic date-coding assembly line for color box production, including a color box conveying device 1 for conveying color boxes and a flipping conveying device 2 located on one side of the color box conveying device 1 for flipping and conveying the coded color boxes. The color box conveying device 1 is provided with a conveying limiting component 3 for limiting the conveying according to the width of the conveyed color boxes. The color box conveying device 1 includes a belt conveyor 11, and a coding device 12 for date coding of the color boxes is connected in parallel on the outer wall of one side of the belt conveyor 11 at the outlet of the conveying limiting component 3. The conveying limiting component 3 includes limiting plates 31 arranged symmetrically and a limiting drive component 32. The limiting plates 31 are located on both sides of the belt conveyor 11 near the top of the outer edge, and a connecting block 311 is connected to the top center of each limiting plate 31. The limiting drive component 32 includes a lead screw 321. The system comprises sliding blocks 322, drive motor 323, guide rods 324, upright plates 325, and top plate 326. The upright plates 325 are symmetrically connected to the top of the belt conveyor 11 outside each limiting plate 31. The top plate 326 is located between the tops of two upright plates 325. The guide rods 324 are parallel to the bottom of the top plate 326, and the lead screw 321 is parallel to the bottom of the guide rod 324. Both ends of the lead screw 321 are connected to the upright plates 325 via bearing seats. The sliding blocks 322 are symmetrically arranged and slide on the lead screw 321. The top of each sliding block 322 is slidably engaged with the guide rod 324 via a locking block 3221. The bottom of the sliding block 322 is connected to the top of the connecting block 311 near the top of the limiting plate 31. The drive motor 323 is located on the outer wall of the upright plate 325. The lead screw 321 passes through the upright plate 325 and is connected to the output end of the drive motor 323 on its outer wall. One of the sliding blocks 322 is connected to the lead screw 321 in the forward thread, and the other sliding block 322 is connected to the lead screw 321 in the reverse thread.

[0025] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the belt conveyor 11 is used to transport the color box from one end of the production line to the other, ensuring that the coding is performed by the coding device 12 during the transport process. The belt conveyor has a simple structure, stable operation, and is suitable for color boxes of various sizes and weights. The coding device 12 is located on one side of the belt conveyor 11 at the outlet of the conveyor limit component and is used to print date codes on the color box. The coding device adopts the 1188W Rui series black and white laser multi-functional wireless WiFi mobile phone printer all-in-one machine. The date is adjustable digital stamp of the numbering device and page numbering machine. The date code is clear and durable. The working principle of the coding device 12 is based on inkjet printing technology or laser printing technology. The inkjet coding device 12 sprays ink onto the surface of the color box through the nozzle to form characters.

[0026] Furthermore, the limiting plates 31 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the belt conveyor 11 near the top of the outer edge, and are used to limit the width of the color box to ensure that the color box will not shift during the conveying process of the belt conveyor 11. A connecting block 311 is connected to the top center of each limiting plate 31 for connecting with the limiting drive assembly.

[0027] Furthermore, the lead screw 321 is located parallel to the bottom of the top plate 326, and its two ends are connected to the vertical plate 325 through bearing seats. It is used to drive the movement of the sliding block 322. The sliding block 322 is symmetrically slidably located on the lead screw 321. The top of each sliding block 322 is slidably engaged with the guide rod 324 through the engaging block 3221. The bottom of the sliding block 322 is connected to the connecting block 311 on the top of the adjacent limiting plate 31. The drive motor 323 is located on the outer wall of the vertical plate 325 and is used to drive the lead screw 321 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding block 322 to move. The guide rod 324 is located parallel to the bottom of the top plate 326 and is used to guide the movement of the sliding block 322 to ensure its stability. The vertical plate 325 is symmetrically connected to the top of the belt conveyor 11 located outside each limiting plate 31 and is used to support and fix the lead screw 321, guide rod 324 and other components. The top plate 326 is connected between the tops of the two vertical plates 325 and is used to fix the guide rod 324.

[0028] Furthermore, when it is necessary to limit the conveying according to the width of the color box, the drive motor 323 drives the lead screw 321 to rotate, so that the two sliding blocks 322 move towards the center along the guide rod 324 at the same time, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting plate 31. The color box is limited by the distance between the two limiting plates 31 to ensure that the color box will not deviate during the conveying process. When the color box reaches the outlet of the conveying limiting component 3, the coding device 12 prints the date code on the color box. The coded color box is flipped by the flipping conveyor 2 for subsequent processing.

[0029] The entire production line is highly automated, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. The position of the limit plate 31 can be quickly adjusted through the limit drive component 32 to adapt to color boxes of different widths. The design of the belt conveyor 11 and the limit component ensures the stability of the color box during the conveying process. The structure of each component is simple and easy to maintain and care for.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , 45. The flipping conveyor 2 includes a flipping assembly, a conveyor frame 21, and a conveyor roller 22 rotatably located on the conveyor frame 21. Conveyor belts 23 are connected and sleeved on both sides of the conveyor roller 22 near the two conveyor belts 23. The flipping assembly is located between the two conveyor belts 23. The flipping assembly includes a flipping shaft 24 and a flipping motor 25. The two ends of the flipping shaft 24 are connected to the conveyor frame 21 outside the conveyor belts 23 through bearings. A flipping bushing 241 is sleeved on the flipping shaft 24. A flipping plate 242 is connected to the outer circumferential wall of the flipping bushing 241. The flipping plate 242 is arranged in an X structure. The flipping motor 25 is located on the outer wall of the conveyor frame 21. One end of the flipping shaft 24 extends through the conveyor frame 21 to the outside and is connected to the output end of the flipping motor 25.

[0031] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the flipping conveyor consists of a flipping component, a conveyor frame 21, and a conveyor roller 22. The conveyor frame 21 is equipped with a rotating conveyor roller 22, and conveyor belts 23 are connected and sleeved on both sides. This structural design ensures the stability and continuity of the color box during the conveying process. The flipping shaft 24 is connected to the conveyor frame 21 through a bearing. The flipping motor 25 drives the flipping shaft 24 to rotate, which drives the flipping plate 242 on the flipping bushing 241 on the flipping shaft 24 to perform a flipping action, thereby realizing the automatic flipping of the color box. The flipping plate 242 is located between the two conveyor belts 23.

[0032] The conveyor roller 22 drives the conveyor belt 23 to transport the color box. When the color box is transported to the two flip plates 242 on one side of the flip shaft 24, the flip motor 25 drives the flip shaft 24 to rotate, which drives the flip plates 242 on the flip sleeve 241 on the flip shaft 24 to flip, thereby realizing the automatic flipping of the color box.

[0033] The flipping conveyor 2, through its automated design, significantly reduces the need for manual operation and improves production efficiency. At the same time, its stable mechanical structure and efficient flipping action ensure the accuracy and consistency of the color boxes during the conveying and flipping process.

[0034] When the color box needs to be conveyed with a limit based on its width, the drive motor 323 drives the lead screw 321 to rotate, causing the two sliding blocks 322 to move simultaneously towards the center along the guide rod 324, thereby adjusting the position of the limit plate 31. The color box is conveyed with a limit based on the distance between the two limit plates 31, ensuring that the color box will not deviate during the conveying process. When the color box reaches the outlet of the conveying limit component 3, the coding device 12 prints a date code on the color box. The coded color box is then conveyed to the flipping conveyor 2. The conveying roller 22 drives the conveyor belt 23 to convey the color box. When the color box is conveyed to the two flipping plates 242 on one side of the flipping shaft 24, the flipping motor 25 drives the flipping shaft 24 to rotate, causing the flipping plates 242 on the flipping bushing 241 of the flipping shaft 24 to flip, thereby realizing the automatic flipping of the color box.

[0035] The working process of this utility model:

[0036] In use, when the color box needs to be limited for conveying according to its width, the drive motor 323 drives the lead screw 321 to rotate, causing the two sliding blocks 322 to move simultaneously towards the center along the guide rod 324, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting plate 31. The color box is conveyed with the distance between the two limiting plates 31 to ensure that the color box will not deviate during the conveying process. When the color box reaches the outlet of the conveying limiting component 3, the coding device 12 prints the date code on the color box. The coded color box is then conveyed to the flipping conveyor 2. The conveying roller 22 drives the conveyor belt 23 to convey the color box. When the color box is conveyed to the two flipping plates 242 on one side of the flipping shaft 24, the flipping motor 25 drives the flipping shaft 24 to rotate, causing the flipping plates 242 on the flipping bushing 241 of the flipping shaft 24 to flip, thereby realizing the automatic flipping of the color box.
