[0002] Cosmetics refer to chemical industrial products or fine chemical products that are applied to any part of the human body surface, such as skin, hair, nails, lips, and teeth, by means of smearing, spraying, or other similar methods, to achieve the purpose of cleaning, maintenance, beautification, modification and alteration of appearance, or correction of body odor and maintenance of a good condition. During the production process, cosmetics need to be transported, and during transportation, they need to be packaged in cardboard boxes. After packaging, the boxes are conveyed to the warehouse for storage via conveyor belt. Due to the limited space in our workshop, we cannot directly convey the packaged boxes using a conveyor belt as with existing technology. Therefore, our workshop places the packaging mechanism on one side of the conveyor belt, that is, the two are set up in parallel. This saves some space, but it also brings some problems. For example, when the packaged boxes are conveyed downwards from the packaging mechanism's conveyor belt, they often get stuck on the parallel conveyor belt, requiring workers to push them manually, resulting in low work efficiency.

Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0017] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixed connection," and "fixed connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an automatic sorting mechanism for packaging boxes includes a packing machine and a packing machine conveying mechanism 1. A packaging box adsorption mechanism 2 is installed at the end of the packing machine conveying mechanism. The packaging box adsorption mechanism is used to adsorb the packaging boxes in the packing machine conveying mechanism onto a conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt is located inside the packing machine conveying mechanism and is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the packing machine conveying mechanism. The packing machine conveying mechanism is at a 30-45 degree angle to the ground. The packed packaging boxes slide freely downwards from the packing machine conveying mechanism. When they slide to the side of the conveyor belt, the packaging box adsorption mechanism activates, adsorbing the packaging box and placing it onto the conveyor belt.

[0020] Specifically, the packaging suction mechanism 2 includes a side frame 21, a bottom frame 22, a cylinder 23, a swing rod 24, a guide rod 25, a guide block 26, a connecting rod 27, a connecting block 28, a suction cup connecting arm 20, and a suction cup 210. The cylinder is hinged to the side frame, the guide rod is fixed to the side frame, the guide block slides with the guide rod, the top of the guide block is connected to one end of the suction cup connecting arm, and the suction cup is fixed to the suction cup connecting arm. Specifically, there are at least four suction cups, which are adjustablely mounted on the suction cup connecting arm via a connecting plate. The other end of the suction cup connecting arm is fixed to the connecting block, the connecting block slides with the connecting rod, and both ends of the connecting rod are fixed to the bottom frame. The suction cup connecting arm drives the suction cup to move in the direction of the guide rod and the connecting rod, which are parallel. The piston rod of the cylinder is hinged to the middle of the swing rod, one end of the swing rod is hinged to the side of the guide block, and the other end of the swing rod has a groove 211. A support 212 is fixed on one side of the bottom frame, and a guide shaft 213 is fixed on the support. The guide shaft is inserted into the groove and engages with it. When the cylinder extends outward, it drives the swing rod 24 to move. The upper part of the swing rod moves along the guide rod towards the packing machine conveyor mechanism, and the connecting block on the other side of the suction cup connecting arm also slides on the connecting rod. The lower end of the swing rod moves in the opposite direction under the guidance of the guide shaft and the groove, while simultaneously driving the suction cup connecting arm and the suction cup to move towards the packing machine conveyor mechanism. When the suction cup moves to the side of the packaging box, negative pressure is applied to the suction cup to suck up the side of the packaging box. Then the piston of the cylinder retracts, bringing the packaging box onto the conveyor belt. The suction cup stops applying negative pressure, and the packaging box is conveyed away by the conveyor belt, and then the next packaging box is conveyed.

[0021] Specifically, the packing machine conveying mechanism 1 includes a sliding base frame 11, a front baffle 12, and side baffles 13. The front baffle is installed at the front of the sliding base frame via an adjusting rod, and the side baffles are respectively installed on both sides of the base frame. Furthermore, to adjust the distance between the side baffles to accommodate packaging boxes of different sizes, a lead screw sleeve 14 is fixed to the bottom of one of the side baffles. The lead screw sleeve is threaded into a lead screw 15. Both ends of the lead screw are installed at the bottom of the sliding base frame via bearing seats, and a rear handwheel 16 is installed at one end of the lead screw. Turning the handwheel rotates the lead screw, which in turn moves the lead screw sleeve, thereby controlling the distance between the two side baffles. Furthermore, to ensure that the packaging box can smoothly slide onto the sliding base frame from the top, the side baffles are L-shaped, with the uppermost part flaring outwards.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
