Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging equipment technology, and specifically relates to a sheath feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] As the name suggests, a packaging box is a box used to package products. Its main functions are to ensure the safety of products during transportation and to enhance their perceived quality. With the rapid development of modern industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for packaging boxes will continue to increase, and higher requirements will be placed on them. Not only must they be of superior quality, but they must also be exquisitely packaged. The attractiveness of a product's outer packaging has a significant impact on its sales appeal.

[0003] Packaging boxes, such as wine boxes, often have a welt at the opening to enhance its strength. To automate the assembly of this welt, it's typically necessary to remove the welt from the material bin, fold it into a pre-defined shape, and then attach it to the inside of the box opening. Currently, when retrieving the welt from the bin, the robotic arm often picks up the first welt, places it at the folding station, then picks up the second welt. After the first welt is folded and removed, the robotic arm places the second welt at the folding station, and so on. However, the production efficiency of this method needs improvement.

The pushing components drive the retaining strip 4 to translate along a preset direction.

[0033] The following embodiments are further elaborated based on the above solutions.

[0034] Example

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1-7 This embodiment provides a feeding device for a retaining strip 4, including a feeding mechanism and a storage plate 1 for placing the retaining strip 4, such as... Figure 2As shown, the enclosure strip is a long strip of paper. The shelf 1 is fixed to the whole machine by a support rod. The shelf 1 is provided with a pair of limiting members. The limiting members can be long strips of steel or aluminum 12. The limiting members can also be other structural members that can play a limiting role. In this embodiment, the limiting members are long strips of limiting members 12. Moreover, the limiting members are arranged along the translation direction of the enclosure strip 4. The two limiting members are located on both sides of the enclosure strip 4 to ensure that the enclosure strip 4 can only move in the channel between the two limiting members.

[0036] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a lifting component and a translation component, and the feeding mechanism is located directly below the placement plate 1. It should be noted that the position of the feeding mechanism can be set as needed. Specifically, the lifting component drives the translation component to rise and fall. The lifting component includes a lifting plate 21, a lifting drive component, and a guide part. The lifting drive component can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a KK module, etc. In this embodiment, the lifting drive component is a lifting cylinder 22. The lifting cylinder 22 is initially in a retracted state. The lifting cylinder 22 is connected to the guide part, and the lifting plate 21 is connected to the guide part. Specifically, the guide part includes a fixed plate 23 and a connecting member 24. The fixed plate 23 is fixed on the platform of the whole machine. The connecting member 24 is connected to the fixed plate 23 through a guide rail and is fixed to the lifting plate 21. The lifting cylinder 22 drives the lifting plate 21 to rise and fall through the connecting member 24. The connecting member 24 and the fixed plate 23 form a sliding structure through the guide rail, which guides the rise and fall of the lifting plate 21. It should be noted that the connecting member 24 in this embodiment has a right-angle structure on its side. The connecting member 24 includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate that are perpendicularly connected to each other. A reinforcing rib is provided between the vertical plate and the horizontal plate. The vertical plate is slidably connected to the fixed plate 23 through the guide rail. The horizontal plate is fixed to the lifting plate 21. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 22 is fixed to the horizontal plate.

[0037] In this embodiment, the translation assembly includes a translation drive, a translation plate 32, and several pushers. The translation drive can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or KK module, etc. In this embodiment, the translation drive is a translation cylinder 31, which is initially in a retracted state. The translation plate 32 is connected to the lifting plate 21 via a guide rail. There are two translation plates 32, corresponding to the left and right ends of the surrounding strip 4, respectively, to push the surrounding strip 4 to translate in a preset direction. A connecting rod is provided between the two translation plates 32. The translation cylinder 31 is fixed on the lifting plate 21, and the piston rod of the translation cylinder 31 is connected to the connecting rod to drive the two translation plates 32 to move synchronously. The pusher is fixed on the translation plate 32. Correspondingly, the shelf 1 is provided with a clearance groove 11 along the traveling direction of the surrounding strip 4. The clearance groove 11 is a long strip groove that passes through the shelf 1. The pusher is located in the clearance groove 11 and can move along the clearance groove 11. When the translation cylinder 31 extends, the translation cylinder 31 pushes the translation plate 32 to move forward synchronously, so that the pusher drives the surrounding strip 4 to move in a preset direction.

[0038] It should be noted that the pusher is a columnar pusher rod 33, or other structural components capable of moving the surrounding strips 4 can be used, and several of them are provided along the translation plate 32 to achieve simultaneous translation of multiple surrounding strips 4. Moreover, when the lifting cylinder 22 is in the initial state, the top of the pusher rod 33 is slightly lower than the upper surface of the placement plate 1 to avoid interference between the pusher rod 33 and the surrounding strips 4 during the return stroke.

[0039] When using this embodiment, as follows: Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the robotic arm places the first retaining strip 4 picked up from the hopper onto the starting point of the translation of the storage plate 1. Then, the robotic arm moves to pick up the next retaining strip 4. At this time, the lifting cylinder 22 extends, driving the push rod 33 to rise, as shown. Figure 4 The state shown is then reached. Then, the translation cylinder 31 extends, and the pusher pushes the first sheath 4 forward, reaching the state shown. Figure 5 As shown in the diagram. When the translation cylinder 31 extends to its limit position, the lifting cylinder 22 drives the push rod 33 to descend, as... Figure 6 As shown in the diagram, the translation cylinder 31 retracts, driving the push rod 33 to move backward to its original position, waiting for the second sheath 4 to be placed in the translation starting area, as... Figure 7 As shown, the above actions are repeated until the guardrails 4 are moved one by one to the translation endpoint area and taken away by the robot arm of the next station.

[0040] This utility model enables the simultaneous placement of multiple sheathing strips 4 via a placement plate 1, and achieves synchronous movement of multiple sheathing strips 4 via a feeding mechanism including a lifting component and a translation component, so that the sheathing strips 4 gradually move towards the folding station, avoiding the situation where the robot arm is waiting, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the sheathing strips 4 and increasing production efficiency.

[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
