[0079] Please see Figures 1 to 14 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic cardboard box packaging production line, comprising:
[0080] The feeding device 1 includes a lifting component 101 and a positioning component 102. The lifting component 101 is used to lift the carton to a corresponding height, and the positioning component 102 is used to position the carton.
[0081] Folding device 2, which includes a horizontal folding mechanism 212 and a vertical folding mechanism 213. The horizontal folding mechanism 212 is used to fold the horizontal folding edge of the carton from both sides of the carton's moving direction, and the vertical folding mechanism 213 is used to fold the longitudinal folding edge of the carton.
[0082] Adhesive device 3, which is used to apply adhesive to the top of the carton;
[0083] Multiple labeling devices 4, each labeling device 4 including a robot 403, wherein the labeling device 4 uses the robot 403 to apply labels to the outer wall of the carton;
[0084] The conveying mechanism has its inlet end connected to the feeding device 1, and the conveying mechanism passes sequentially through the flanging device 2, the adhesive device 3, and all the labeling devices 4.
[0085] It should also be noted that in this application, the unfolded carton can be placed on the corresponding feeding device 1, and the feeding device 1 will sequentially convey it to the folding device 2, the gluing device 3 and all the labeling devices 4, so as to complete the folding and flipping of the carton, the gluing of the carton and the labeling of the outer wall of the carton in sequence. The work is automated, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the workers, liberates productivity, avoids the problem of low efficiency of manual folding, gluing and labeling, and reduces the cost of enterprises.
[0086] For example, the lifting assembly 101 includes a first power device and a first transmission assembly, wherein the power device is used to lift the first transmission assembly.
[0087] It should also be noted that the first conveying component consists of a motor, a roller bed, and multiple conveying rollers. All the conveying rollers are arranged horizontally and evenly on the roller bed. The motor is used to drive all the conveying rollers to rotate. The first power device is a lifting motor to lift the first conveying component, so that the carton can reach the height corresponding to entering the flanging device 2.
[0088] For example, the positioning component 102 includes a second power device, a second conveying component, and two positioning units. The second power device is used to drive the two positioning units to move closer to or further away from each other. The two positioning units are disposed on the conveying surface of the second conveying component.
[0089] It should also be noted that the second conveying assembly consists of a motor, a roller bed, and multiple conveying rollers. All the conveying rollers are arranged horizontally and evenly on the roller bed. The motor is used to drive all the conveying rollers to rotate. The second power device is a motor, and the positioning unit is a baffle with a guiding function, used to adjust the position of the carton.
[0090] For example, the flanging device 2 further includes a flanging frame 201, a first conveying unit 202, and a first mounting plate 203. The flanging frame 201 is a frame structure, and a first lifting mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the flanging frame 201. The first conveying unit 202 is disposed on the flanging frame 201 and is used to convey cartons through the flanging frame 201. The first mounting plate 203 is horizontally disposed at the movable end of the first lifting mechanism and is located above the first conveying unit 202. A positioning plate 205 is also vertically disposed on the lower end surface of the first mounting plate 203. The positioning plate is parallel to the moving direction of the cartons. A pressure plate 209 is horizontally disposed on the lower edge of the positioning plate. The transverse flanging mechanism 212 and the vertical flanging mechanism 213 are both disposed on the first mounting plate 203.
[0091] It should also be noted that the first conveying unit 202 consists of a motor, a roller bed and multiple conveying rollers, all of which are arranged horizontally and evenly on the roller bed, and the motor is used to drive all of the conveying rollers to rotate.
[0092] For example, two sets of extrusion devices 204 are provided on the inner wall of the flanging frame 201. The extrusion devices 204 are respectively located on both sides of the conveying surface of the first conveying unit 202. The extrusion devices 204 are used to adjust the position of the carton on the conveying surface of the first conveying unit 202.
[0093] It should also be noted that the extrusion device 204 includes a second driving device and an extrusion plate. The second driving device is disposed on the flanging frame 201. The second driving device is used to drive the extrusion plate to extend and retract laterally, thereby pushing the carton to the corresponding position.
[0094] Furthermore, the extrusion plate is vertically positioned with both sides bent outwards to guide the carton as it enters, preventing blockages during transport due to the position of the extrusion plate.
[0095] The second driving device is a telescopic motor. The two telescopic motors operate synchronously to ensure that when adjusting the position of the carton, the folded edge of the carton can be aligned with the positioning plate 205, thus ensuring the effect of folded edge flipping.
[0096] For example, the lateral folding mechanism 212 includes two sets of folding components. The two folding components flip the lateral folds of the carton from both sides of the carton's moving direction. The folding components include a first driving device and a lateral support. The first driving device is disposed on the first mounting plate 203. The first driving device is used to drive the lateral support to flip the lateral folds of the carton.
[0097] It should also be noted that the first driving device is a telescopic motor or a cylinder, which drives the transverse support to move, thereby flipping the transverse fold of the carton.
[0098] For example, the transverse support includes a crossbar 206, two connecting rods 207, and a fixing rod 208. A hinge seat is also provided on the first mounting plate 203. One end of each of the two connecting rods 207 is hinged to the hinge seat. The rotation surfaces of the two connecting rods 207 are perpendicular to the moving direction of the carton. The other ends of the two connecting rods 207 are connected to each other through the fixing rod 208. The crossbar 206 is horizontally arranged and fixed to the movable end of the first driving device. Both ends of the crossbar 206 are hinged to the middle of the two connecting rods 207.
[0099] It should also be noted that the connecting rod 207 is driven by the first driving device. Since one end of the connecting rod 207 is hinged to the hinge seat on the first mounting plate 203, the crossbar 206 at the other end of the connecting rod 207 can rotate around the hinge seat. The crossbar 206 is used to flip the corresponding folded edge of the carton.
[0100] For example, the positioning plate 205 is further provided with a baffle 210 on the side facing the carton feeding direction. The baffle 210 is perpendicular to the positioning plate 205, and the lower edge of the baffle 210 is connected to the end of the pressure plate 209.
[0101] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting the baffle 210 is to prevent the contact area between the positioning plate 205 and the longitudinal fold of the carton from being too small when flipping the carton's longitudinal fold, which would cause damage to the fold. The baffle 210 protects the fold while also better transitioning the fold to the bottom of the pressure plate 209.
[0102] For example, the ends of the fixing rod 208 are also provided with extension sections, one end of which is close to the baffle 210 and the other end of which is close to the next process.
[0103] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up the extended section is to enable the carton to maintain the pressing effect of the folded edge during the conveying process, so as to ensure that the folded edge remains closed when the carton enters the next process.
[0104] For example, the connecting rod 207 is an arc-shaped rod with its inner arc surface facing the folding area of the carton.
[0105] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting the connecting rod 207 is to reduce the space occupied by the connecting rod 207 in the carton conveying process, so as to avoid the connecting rod 207 from contacting the carton during the driving process.
[0106] For example, the vertical flanging mechanism 213 is mounted on the first mounting plate 203. The vertical flanging mechanism 213 includes a third driving device and a flipping arm. The third driving device is a telescopic motor, which drives the flipping arm to rotate. The flipping arm is used to flip the longitudinal fold of the carton.
[0107] For example, the first mounting plate 203 is provided with two operating openings, the first driving device is disposed on the upper surface of the first mounting plate 203, and the movable end of the first driving device passes through the corresponding operating opening and is connected to the transverse bracket.
[0108] It should also be noted that this makes the structure of the first mounting plate 203 more compact, makes better use of space, and reduces the space occupied by the first mounting plate 203 and the first drive device.
[0109] For example, an inspection door is also provided on the flanging frame 201, and the inspection door is located on both sides of the first conveying unit 202.
[0110] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up the maintenance door is to close the maintenance door during normal times to avoid the influence of the external ring on the inside of the flanging machine frame 201. At the same time, the corresponding maintenance door can be quickly opened during maintenance to facilitate the operation of the operator for maintenance and repair.
[0111] For example, a display screen 211 is also provided on the outer wall of the flanging frame 201, and a sensor is provided inside the flanging frame 201. The sensor is used to display the internal information of the flanging frame 201 on the display screen 211.
[0112] For example, the adhesive device 3 includes an adhesive frame 301, a second conveying unit 302, and a second mounting plate 303. The adhesive frame 301 is a frame structure, and a second lifting mechanism is also provided on the inner wall of the adhesive frame 301. The second conveying unit 302 is disposed on the adhesive frame 301 and is used to convey cartons through the adhesive frame 301. The second mounting plate 303 is horizontally disposed at the movable end of the second lifting mechanism and is located above the second conveying unit 302. Two adhesive components are disposed on the second mounting plate 303 and are disposed along the conveying direction of the cartons. A guide plate 304 is also disposed below the second mounting plate 303. The guide plate 304 is horizontally disposed and has two working openings. The working openings correspond one-to-one with the adhesive components, and the adhesive components glue the cartons through the corresponding working openings.
[0113] It should also be noted that the second conveying unit 302 consists of a motor, a roller bed and multiple conveying rollers, all of which are horizontally and evenly arranged on the roller bed, and the motor is used to drive all of the conveying rollers to rotate.
[0114] It should also be noted that during use, the second mounting plate 303 should first be adjusted to the corresponding height to accommodate the height of the carton being conveyed by the second conveying unit 302. When the second conveying unit 302 conveys the carton into the gluing frame 301, the guide plate 304 continuously presses down on the folded edges of the carton during the conveying process to prevent the folded edges from opening. When the carton moves to the working opening of the guide plate 304, the gluing assembly is used to glu the folded edges of the carton at the corresponding working opening. After gluing is completed, the second conveying unit 302 conveys the glued carton to the next process.
[0115] The guide plate 304 is close to the pressure plate 209 of the folding device 2 and is at the same horizontal height, ensuring that the folded edge of the carton will not open when it is transferred to the gluing device 3.
[0116] For example, the adhesive assembly includes a storage cylinder 305, a first roller 306, a second roller 307, and a cutting assembly 308. Adhesive tape is wound on the storage cylinder 305. The storage cylinder 305 is connected to the second roller 307 after passing through the first roller 306. The first roller 306, the second roller 307, and the cutting assembly 308 are all mounted on the second mounting plate 303 via a lifting unit. The cutting assembly 308 is located between the first roller 306 and the second roller 307 and is used to cut the adhesive tape between the first roller 306 and the second roller 307.
[0117] It should also be noted that when the carton is transported to the corresponding adhesive assembly, the lifting unit controls the corresponding second roller 307 to descend and stick the tape to the folded edge of the carton for adhesive application. Then the carton continues to move forward, and the lifting unit controls the corresponding first roller 306 to descend and stick the tape to the side of the carton. Finally, the cutting assembly 308 cuts the tape, completing the adhesive application to the folded edge of the carton.
[0118] Furthermore, the cutting component 308 is a serrated blade for cutting, and the cutting component can also be a cutting tool or a laser cutting tool.
[0119] For example, the adhesive assembly further includes a plurality of auxiliary rollers 309, which are horizontally disposed on the second mounting plate 303, and the auxiliary rollers 309 are respectively close to the corresponding first roller 306 and second roller 307.
[0120] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting the auxiliary roller 309 is to provide guidance for the tape, so that the tape can be smoothly wound on the first roller 306 and the second roller 307.
[0121] For example, a third driving device, a slide rail 310 and two rolling components are provided below the second mounting plate 303. The slide rail 310 is horizontally arranged on the lower end face of the second mounting plate 303. The length direction of the slide rail 310 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the carton. The two rolling components are arranged on the slide rail 310 by sliders. A carton passage area is formed between the two rolling components. The third driving device is used to drive the two rolling components to move closer or further away from each other.
[0122] It should also be noted that the third drive device is electrically driven and is used to drive the two rolling components to move closer or further apart, so that the upper part of the carton can be limited during the conveying process, so as to prevent the upper part of the carton from shifting during the gluing process and causing the gluing failure.
[0123] For example, the second mounting plate 303 is provided with a first adhesive opening and a second adhesive opening, one of the adhesive components is disposed at the first adhesive opening, and the other adhesive component is disposed at the second adhesive opening.
[0124] It should also be noted that the purpose of providing the first adhesive opening and the second adhesive opening on the second mounting plate 303 is to allow the two adhesive components to be installed through the first adhesive opening and the second adhesive opening, making reasonable use of space and making the structure more compact.
[0125] For example, an auxiliary conveying device is also provided in the adhesive frame 301. The auxiliary conveying device includes two auxiliary units, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the second conveying unit 302. Each auxiliary unit includes a fourth driving device and an auxiliary component 311. The fourth driving device is arranged on the adhesive frame 301 and is used to drive the corresponding auxiliary components 311 to move closer or further away from each other.
[0126] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up the auxiliary conveyor is to clamp the carton from both sides during the glue application process, so as to avoid positional deviation of the carton during the glue application process, which could lead to glue failure.
[0127] For example, the auxiliary component 311 is a belt for auxiliary conveying of the side contact of the carton.
[0128] It should also be noted that the belt conveyor can better ensure the friction between the belt and the carton, so that the carton can be transported effectively, avoiding the situation where the carton is stuck and blocked in the second conveyor unit 302 due to the two auxiliary units clamping the carton.
[0129] For example, the rolling assembly includes a mounting rod 312 and a plurality of rollers, all of which are arranged along the length of the mounting rod 312 and the rotational surfaces of all of the rollers are parallel to the second mounting plate 303.
[0130] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up rollers is to assist in the conveying of cartons during the carton conveying process, ensuring that the upper part of the carton remains stationary during the conveying process and does not shift due to the setting of tape.
[0131] For example, an inspection door is also provided on the adhesive frame 301, and the inspection door is located on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 2.
[0132] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up the maintenance door is to close the maintenance door during normal times to avoid the influence of the external ring on the inside of the adhesive frame 301, while allowing the corresponding maintenance door to be quickly opened during maintenance, making it convenient for operators to perform maintenance and repairs.
[0133] For example, a sensor is also provided on the adhesive frame 301, which is used to sense the carton of the second conveying unit 302.
[0134] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up the sensor is to collect information on the number of cardboard boxes that have been glued.
[0135] For example, the labeling device 4 includes a labeling frame 401, a third conveying unit 402, and a robot 403. The labeling frame 401 has a top plate horizontally mounted on its upper part, and a partition is also provided in the middle of the labeling frame 401. A label storage component is provided on the partition, and a power unit is provided below the partition. The third conveying unit 402 is horizontally mounted on the labeling frame 401, and the conveying surface of the third conveying unit 402 is located directly below the top plate. The third conveying unit 402 is also provided with a positioning device for positioning the carton. The robot 403 is mounted on the top plate and is used to remove the labels from the label storage component and affix them to the outer wall of the carton. The power unit provides power to the robot 403.
[0136] It should also be noted that...
[0137] It should also be noted that during use, the cardboard box with glued adhesive is conveyed by the third conveying unit 402 to the area directly below the top plate 101. The robot 403 then takes out the corresponding label from the label storage component and affixes it to the outer wall of the cardboard box. After the automatic labeling of the cardboard box is completed, the third conveying unit 402 conveys the labeled cardboard box to the next process.
[0138] For example, the label storage assembly includes multiple feeders arranged in sequence. Each feeder includes a support 404, a storage roll 405, and a take-up plate 406. The storage roll 405 is mounted on the support 404, and the support 404 is disposed on the partition. The label on the storage roll 405 is wound around the take-up plate 406.
[0139] It should also be noted that labels are typically wound onto specific film rolls or cores, which effectively protects them from external environmental influences such as moisture, sunlight, and high temperatures. This storage method also facilitates the retrieval and distribution of labels.
[0140] In use, the label roll is placed on the storage roll 405, and then the label roll is stretched to the corresponding feeding plate 406 for feeding.
[0141] For example, the material receiving plate 406 is provided with a plurality of material receiving slots, and the length direction of the material receiving slots is perpendicular to the length direction of the material storage drum 405.
[0142] It should also be noted that the material picking trough is set up to ensure that the robot 403 has more operating space to pick up the labels, thus ensuring the success and efficiency of the picking process.
[0143] For example, the third conveying unit 402 consists of a motor, a roller bed, and a plurality of conveying rollers, all of which are arranged horizontally and evenly on the roller bed, and the motor is used to drive all of the conveying rollers to rotate.
[0144] It should also be noted that the drive device is motor driven, and all conveyor rollers are located at the same height, so that the cartons can be transported smoothly.
[0145] For example, the positioning device includes a second driving device and two limiting brackets. The second driving device is disposed on the labeling machine frame 401. The second driving device is used to drive the two limiting brackets to move closer to or further away from each other. The limiting brackets extend vertically from between two adjacent conveying rollers. The upper end of the limiting bracket is also provided with a limiting baffle 407, which is parallel to the running direction of the carton.
[0146] It should also be noted that the second drive device is driven by a motor and is located below the third conveying unit 402. By using the proximity of the two limiting baffles 407, the carton is positioned laterally to ensure that the labeling position of the carton is accurate.
[0147] For example, the limiting baffle 407 is arranged vertically, and the two sides of the limiting baffle 407 are bent outward horizontally.
[0148] It should also be noted that the limiting baffle 407 is bent so that it can guide the carton when it comes into contact with it, thus preventing the limiting baffle 407 from obstructing the carton's conveying process.
[0149] In one embodiment, the positioning device further includes a third driving device and a limiting plate. The third driving device is disposed on the labeling frame 401 and is a motor. The third driving device is used to drive the limiting plate to extend from between adjacent conveying rollers for longitudinal positioning of the carton during conveying.
[0150] For example, the feeder also includes a plurality of auxiliary rods 409 for retrieving tape from the storage roll 405.
[0151] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up the auxiliary rod 409 is to wrap the remaining tape around the auxiliary rod 409 after the robot 403 has finished picking up the label, so as to facilitate recycling and avoid the remaining tape affecting the labeling process.
[0152] For example, the robot 403 includes a robotic arm and a material handling mechanism 408. One end of the robotic arm is connected to the top plate, and the other end of the robotic arm is connected to the material handling mechanism 408. The robotic arm includes a plurality of connecting rods, all of which are sequentially hinged to each other.
[0153] It should also be noted that multiple connecting rods are used to ensure the flexibility of the robotic arm, giving it a greater operating space during labeling operations.
[0154] For example, the material handling mechanism 408 includes three material handling heads, which are arranged in a divergent manner on the robotic arm.
[0155] It should also be noted that each feeding head can be set with a different label to speed up the labeling process.
[0156] For example, a reinforcing plate is also provided between the top plate and the labeling machine frame 401. The reinforcing plate has a triangular structure and is located at the connection between the top plate and the labeling machine frame 401.
[0157] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up the reinforced version is to improve the structural strength of the top plate, provide a stable and safe support structure for the installation of robot 403, and avoid problems such as equipment deformation due to its own weight during the production process.
[0158] The first conveying unit 202, the second conveying unit 302 and the third conveying unit 402 are connected to form a conveying mechanism.
[0159] For example, the conveying mechanism includes a roller bed and a plurality of conveying rollers, all of which are horizontally and evenly arranged on the roller bed, and a motor is provided below the roller bed to drive all of the conveying rollers to rotate.
[0160] For example, the conveying mechanism is further provided with a translation component in the middle, which is located between the adhesive device 3 and the labeling device 4, and is used to move the carton laterally.
[0161] For example, an alarm 8 is provided on the flange device 2, the adhesive device 3 and all the labeling devices 4.
[0162] It should also be noted that the alarm 8 is used to display the current status of the device. The alarm 8 is a three-color buzzer alarm, which is a device that combines visual three-color lights and audible buzzer alarm functions. Its main function is to provide clear and intuitive alarm information so that users can quickly identify and respond to changes in the status of the device or abnormal situations.
[0163] In summary, the automatic carton packaging production line of this utility model allows unfolded cartons to be placed on the corresponding feeding device 1, which then sequentially conveys them to the folding device 2, the gluing device 3, and all the labeling devices 4. This completes the folding, gluing, and labeling of the carton in sequence, automating the process and significantly reducing the labor intensity of workers. It also liberates productivity, avoids the inefficiencies of manual folding, gluing, and labeling, and lowers enterprise costs.
