[0002] Corrugated cardboard boxes are packaging and transport boxes made of corrugated cardboard. They are lightweight and sturdy, serving both to protect goods and facilitating loading, unloading, and transportation, thus enjoying widespread use. The production process of corrugated cardboard boxes requires flipping them on a feeding mechanism (such as a roller conveyor) to proceed to the next process. Currently, this is typically done manually, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient.

[0003] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, a corrugated cardboard box turning device is provided to solve the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual turning of corrugated cardboard boxes during the production process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a corrugated cardboard box flipping device is provided, comprising:

[0006] A base, wherein sliding grooves are formed at both ends of the base, and the sliding grooves are arranged along the width direction of the base;

[0007] Two belt conveyors are arranged opposite each other. The lower ends of the frames at both ends of the belt conveyors are respectively slidably placed in two troughs. The base is equipped with a drive structure for driving the two frames in the troughs to move closer to each other or away from each other. The conveyor belts of the two belt conveyors are respectively supported on opposite sides of the bottom of the corrugated cardboard box to be flipped.

[0008] A flipping component is rotatably mounted on the base and positioned between the two belt conveyors. The base is equipped with a drive unit for driving the flipping component. Multiple corners of the flipping component have notches for receiving the corrugated cardboard box. One notch of the flipping component faces the corrugated cardboard box. After the belt conveyor transports the corrugated cardboard box from one end of the belt conveyor to the notch, the drive unit drives the flipping component to flip the corrugated cardboard box in the notch upwards towards the other end of the belt conveyor, so that the conveyor belt at the other end of the belt conveyor is vertically positioned at the bottom of the box and supported by the corrugated cardboard box.

[0009] Furthermore, a slider is connected to the lower end of the frame, and the slider is slidably disposed in the groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving structure includes:

[0011] A lead screw is rotatably mounted in the slide groove, the lead screw is arranged along the length direction of the slide groove, the sliders of the two frames are respectively formed with threaded holes, the thread directions of the threaded holes of the sliders of the two frames are opposite, and the lead screw is screwed into the threaded holes of the sliders of the two frames.

[0012] An adjustment motor is mounted on the base and is driven by the lead screw.

[0013] Furthermore, an assembly frame is mounted on the base, and the assembly frame is located between the two belt conveyors. The turning component is rotatably mounted on the assembly frame via a rotating shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, the driving component is a drive motor, which is mounted on the base, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft via a synchronous belt drive.

[0015] Furthermore, limiting baffles are respectively installed on the opposite sides of the two belt conveyors.

[0016] Furthermore, the front end of the limiting baffle near the belt conveyor is connected to a guide flange, and the distance between the guide flanges of the two limiting baffles gradually increases from the side of the guide flange near the front end to the side of the guide flange away from the front end.

[0017] Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor is installed on the inner side of the limiting baffle, the photoelectric sensor is aligned with the notch, and the photoelectric sensor and the driving component are respectively signal-connected to the controller.

[0018] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the corrugated carton turning device of this utility model, by adjusting the distance between the two belt conveyors on the base, can transport corrugated cartons of different sizes via the two belt conveyors. After the corrugated carton enters a notch in the turning component, the drive motor drives the turning component to rotate, thereby causing the corrugated carton to complete the turning. After the turning is completed, the two belt conveyors continue to transport the turned corrugated carton for the next process.

[0019] This invention relates to a corrugated cardboard box flipping device. After a corrugated cardboard box with a notch is flipped, the next adjacent notch faces the next corrugated cardboard box to be flipped, thus allowing the next corrugated cardboard box to be flipped through the next notch, thereby improving the efficiency of the corrugated cardboard box flipping device. Simultaneously, by installing limiting baffles on the opposite sides of the two belt conveyors, it is possible to prevent the corrugated cardboard boxes from shifting, improving the stability of the corrugated cardboard boxes during displacement and flipping.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a corrugated cardboard box flipping device, including: a base 1, two belt conveyors 2 and a flipping component 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, the base 1 is rectangular. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, grooves a are formed at both ends of the base 1, and grooves a are arranged along the width direction of the base 1.

[0029] Two belt conveyors 2 are arranged opposite each other. The lower ends of the frames 21 at both ends of the belt conveyors 2 are respectively slidably disposed in two slide grooves a. In a preferred embodiment, the lower ends of the frames 21 are connected to sliders, which are slidably disposed in slide grooves a.

[0030] The base 1 is equipped with a drive structure for driving the two frames 21 in the chute a to move closer to or further away from each other. The conveyor belts of the two belt conveyors 2 are respectively supported on opposite sides of the bottom of the corrugated cardboard box 3 to be flipped. In this embodiment, the side of the corrugated cardboard box 3 that is in contact with the conveyor belts of the two belt conveyors 2 before flipping is defined as the bottom of the box.

[0031] See Figure 1 As shown, the drive structure includes a lead screw 51 and an adjusting motor 52. The lead screw 51 is rotatably mounted in the slide groove a, and the lead screw 51 is arranged along the length direction of the slide groove a.

[0032] The sliders of the two frames 21 in the slide groove a are respectively formed with threaded holes, and the thread directions of the threaded holes of the sliders of the two frames 21 are opposite. The lead screw 51 is screwed into the threaded holes of the sliders of the two frames 21.

[0033] An adjusting motor 52 is mounted on the base 1 and is connected to a lead screw 51. After the adjusting motor 52 is started, it drives the lead screw 51 to rotate. By adjusting the forward and reverse rotation of the adjusting motor 52, the two frames 21 in the chute a are driven to move closer or further apart, thereby adjusting the distance between the two belt conveyors 2 and adapting them to the conveying of corrugated cardboard boxes 3 of different sizes to be flipped.

[0034] The tilting component 4 is rotatably mounted on the base 1 and is positioned between the two belt conveyors 2. The base 1 is equipped with a drive unit for driving the tilting component 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, an assembly frame 11 is mounted on the base 1, and the assembly frame 11 is positioned between the two belt conveyors 2. The material turning component 4 is rotatably mounted on the assembly frame 11 via a rotating shaft.

[0036] The driving component is a drive motor 12, which is mounted on the base 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 12 is connected to the rotating shaft of the flipping component 4 via a synchronous belt drive.

[0037] The turning component 4 has notches b formed at several corners to receive the corrugated cardboard box 3. (See reference...) Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping component 4 is a regular square prism, and notches b are formed at the four corners of the flipping component 4. One notch b of the flipping component 4 is positioned facing the corrugated cardboard box 3.

[0038] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, after the two belt conveyors 2 transport the corrugated carton 3 from one end (right end) of the belt conveyor 2 to a notch b, the drive motor 12 drives the flipping component 4 to rotate, so that the corrugated carton 3 in the notch b flips upward toward the other end (left end) of the belt conveyor 2, so that the conveyor belt of the other end (left end) of the belt conveyor 2 is supported by the corrugated carton 3 after being vertically set at the bottom of the carton 3.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, limiting baffles 6 are respectively erected on the opposite sides of the two belt conveyors 2. The front end of the limiting baffle 6 near the belt conveyor 2 is connected to a guide flange 61, and the distance between the guide flanges 61 of the two limiting baffles 6 gradually increases from the side of the guide flange 61 near the front end to the side of the guide flange 61 away from the front end.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, a photoelectric sensor 62 is installed on the inner side of the limiting baffle 6. The photoelectric sensor 62 is aligned with a notch b, and the photoelectric sensor 62 and the driving component (drive motor 12) are respectively signal-connected to the controller.

[0041] The corrugated carton flipping device of this utility model first adjusts the distance between the two belt conveyors 2 by starting the adjusting motor 52 according to the model and size of the corrugated carton to be flipped, so that the limiting baffles 6 of the two belt conveyors and the conveyor belts of the two belt conveyors form a limiting space suitable for the corrugated carton 3.

[0042] After the two belt conveyors 2 start, the feeding mechanism (not shown in the figure) at the right end of the corrugated carton turning device transports the corrugated carton 3 to be turned to the limiting space via the guide flange 61, thereby completing the feeding of the corrugated carton 3. (See also...) Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the conveyor belts of the two belt conveyors support the bottom of the corrugated carton 3, and the limiting baffles 6 of the two belt conveyors limit the sides of the corrugated carton 3 to ensure that the corrugated carton does not shift when it moves or flips. One notch b of the flipping component 4 is directly opposite the corrugated carton 3, and the bottom wall of the notch b is set below the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 2 to ensure that the corrugated carton 3 smoothly enters the notch b.

[0043] After the conveyor belts of the two belt conveyors transport the corrugated cardboard box 3 to a notch b, the photoelectric sensor detects the corrugated cardboard box 3, and the controller starts the drive motor 12 based on the signal from the photoelectric sensor. The controller controls the drive motor 12 to drive the tilting component 4 to rotate counterclockwise by a preset angle. (See reference...) Figure 3 As shown, after the corrugated cardboard box 3 is rotated 90 degrees, its bottom is set vertically. At the same time, the next adjacent notch b of a notch b rotates into place, so as to facilitate receiving the next corrugated cardboard box 3 to be rotated.

[0044] After the corrugated carton 3 is flipped, the conveyor belt at the left end of the belt conveyor 2 supports the flipped corrugated carton 3 and transports the flipped corrugated carton 3 to the feeding mechanism at the left end of the corrugated carton flipping device (not shown in the figure), thereby completing the unloading of the corrugated carton 3, which makes it easier for the operator to carry out the next process on the flipped corrugated carton.

[0045] In this embodiment, the material conveying mechanisms located at the left and right ends of the corrugated carton flipping device are roller conveyors or belt conveyors.

[0046] In some embodiments, there are multiple flipping components 4, which are spaced apart along the length of the base 1. By using multiple flipping components to flip the corrugated carton sequentially, the corrugated carton can be flipped at different angles to facilitate the implementation of the next process of the corrugated carton. (For example, two flipping components can flip the corrugated carton 180 degrees, and three flipping components can flip the corrugated carton 270 degrees).

[0047] This utility model discloses a corrugated cardboard box turning device. By adjusting the distance between two belt conveyors on the base, it can transport corrugated cardboard boxes of different sizes via the two belt conveyors. After the corrugated cardboard box enters a notch in the turning mechanism, the drive motor drives the turning mechanism to rotate, thereby turning the corrugated cardboard box. After turning, the two belt conveyors continue to transport the turned corrugated cardboard box for the next process.

[0048] This invention relates to a corrugated cardboard box flipping device. After a corrugated cardboard box with a notch is flipped, the next adjacent notch faces the next corrugated cardboard box to be flipped, thus allowing the next corrugated cardboard box to be flipped through the next notch, thereby improving the efficiency of the corrugated cardboard box flipping device. Simultaneously, by installing limiting baffles on the opposite sides of the two belt conveyors, it is possible to prevent the corrugated cardboard boxes from shifting, improving the stability of the corrugated cardboard boxes during displacement and flipping.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept.
