Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cosmetic packaging technology, specifically relating to a cosmetic packaging box transfer mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In packaging production lines for cosmetics and similar products, after the boxing and sealing processes are completed, palletizing is required on the surface of the boxes. This is typically done by a palletizing robot, which neatly stacks the boxes horizontally using a conveyor belt. Then, a transfer device stacks these neatly stacked boxes vertically into a pile before loading them onto a vehicle for transport to their destination. Therefore, a palletizing robot is needed to neatly stack the boxes horizontally using clamping and transfer methods. Currently, there are many types of palletizing robots, but they can only perform palletizing in fixed positions, and the transport vehicle can only stay in designated locations. However, because the structure of each workshop is different, not every location can accommodate a transport vehicle. Therefore, due to space limitations, traditional palletizing robots have relatively high environmental requirements. Utility Model Content

[0017] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, 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 can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a cosmetic packaging box transfer mechanism includes an ABB robotic arm 1, an angle adjustment motor 2, and a suction cup mechanism 3. The angle adjustment motor is installed at the end of the ABB robotic arm, and its output end is connected to the suction cup mechanism. The ABB robotic arm can move the suction cup mechanism to any position around the robotic arm, as long as it is convenient for the transport vehicle to park. The angle adjustment motor drives the suction cup mechanism to rotate, thereby adjusting the orientation of the packaging box.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the suction cup mechanism further includes a suction cup 31 and a connecting box 32, with the suction cup mounted on the lower part of the connecting box. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a hollow connecting arm 4 is connected to the upper part of the suction cup. The hollow connecting arm is connected to a horizontal slide rail 5 via a slider. The horizontal slide rail is fixed horizontally inside the connecting box. A horizontal cylinder 6 is horizontally installed inside the connecting box, and the piston rod of the horizontal cylinder is connected to the side of the hollow connecting arm. There are two hollow connecting arms and two horizontal cylinders. The inside of the connecting box is hollow, and the bottom has a sliding groove for the hollow connecting arm to move on. The distance between the two suction cups is controlled by the two horizontal cylinders, thus adapting to packaging boxes of different sizes. Before using this device, adjust the extension distance of the two horizontal cylinders according to the size of the top of the packaging box so that both suction cups can adhere to the top of the packaging box. If the packaging box is relatively small, only one suction cup is needed, or a single suction cup can be used.

[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the suction cup 31 includes a shell 311, a core plate 312, a base plate 313, and a support block 314. The core plate is located inside the shell and has a gap 315 between it and the upper part and circumference of the shell. The base plate is fixed to the bottom of the core plate, and the core plate has a larger area than the base plate. The core plate is fixed to the bottom of the shell by screws. The support block is fixed to the bottom of the shell and is higher than the base plate. A ventilation pipe 316 is provided inside the base plate. One end of the ventilation pipe is connected to the gap, and the other end is located between the support block and the base plate and is connected to the outside. The upper part of the shell is connected to an external negative pressure device through a hollow connecting arm. The inside of the shell is a negative pressure environment. The support block is made of soft rubber and can deform when it is fastened to the top of the packaging box. A sealed space is formed in the space enclosed by the base plate, the support block, and the top of the packaging box. The negative pressure of the shell creates a negative pressure in this sealed space through the ventilation pipe, so the packaging box is sucked by the suction cup and can be moved and placed as needed by the ABB robot arm.

[0024] In some situations, such as when the conveyor belt is too low or the packaging box is too small, the ABB robot arm may not be able to pick up the box even when it descends to its lowest point. To adapt to these environments, a telescopic sleeve 317 is connected to the upper part of the outer casing of this device. The telescopic sleeve is inserted into the bottom of the hollow connecting arm, and a sealing ring 318 is provided between the hollow connecting arm and the telescopic sleeve. A telescopic cylinder 8 is fixed to the outer side of the hollow connecting arm, and the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the upper part of the outer casing. By driving the telescopic sleeve with the telescopic cylinder, the movement distance of the suction cup can be extended, thus making it suitable for certain extreme situations.

[0025] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
