Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light industrial machinery and equipment, and more specifically, to a pen barrel boxing and feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] The packaging process for pens is an indispensable and crucial step in the production of pen products. Currently, pen packaging largely relies on manual labor, where pens are individually arranged and placed into pre-prepared cardboard boxes. However, this manual packaging method is not only inefficient and unsuitable for mass production, but also prone to problems such as damaged boxes and scratched pen barrels due to human error, thus affecting pen quality. In light of these issues, how to effectively improve pen packaging efficiency has become a pressing problem for the industry. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to overcome at least one defect (deficiency) of the prior art and provide a pen barrel boxing and feeding device to solve the problem of low efficiency in manually sorting and boxing pens.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is a pen barrel boxing and feeding device, which includes: a horizontal transmission mechanism, a vertical transmission mechanism, an adsorption mechanism, and a variable distance mechanism.

[0005] The vertical transmission mechanism is connected to the horizontal transmission mechanism, and the vertical transmission mechanism is connected to the pitch-changing mechanism;

[0006] The adsorption mechanism includes several sets of adsorption components;

[0007] The variable-distance mechanism is connected to the adsorption components, and the variable-distance mechanism is used to adjust the spacing between each group of adsorption components.

[0008] The horizontal and vertical transmission mechanisms work together to drive the adsorption mechanism to pick up the pen barrels. After the adsorption mechanism picks up the pen barrels, it moves the pen barrels to a preset position above the packaging box through the horizontal and vertical transmission mechanisms. During the movement, the distance between the pen barrels is adjusted by the pitch-changing mechanism, so that the pen barrels can be arranged with a more precise spacing and thus accurately placed into the packaging box. The whole process does not require manual intervention, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of pen barrel boxing.

[0009] Optionally, the pitch mechanism includes a driver, an equidistant plate, a first guide assembly, and a second guide assembly;

[0010] The vertical transmission mechanism is connected to the first guide assembly; the equidistant plate is fixedly installed on the drive end of the driver, the guide direction of the first guide assembly is parallel to the drive direction of the driver, and the equidistant plate is connected to the first guide assembly.

[0011] The second guide component is arranged perpendicularly to the first guide component, and the second guide component is connected to the adsorption component so that the adsorption component can move along the guiding direction of the second guide component;

[0012] The equidistant plate is provided with a number of guide holes with different slopes, and each group of adsorption components is movably connected to the equidistant plate through the corresponding guide holes;

[0013] The driver is used to drive the equidistant plate to move along the guiding direction of the first guide component, and to drive each group of adsorption components to move along the guide direction of the second guide component within the corresponding guide hole range to adjust the spacing between each group of adsorption components.

[0014] The driver drives the equidistant plate to move along the first guide assembly, which in turn drives the adsorption assembly to move along the second guide assembly. As the equidistant plate moves, each group of adsorption assemblies moves closer to or further away from each other under the guidance of the second guide assembly, thereby adjusting the distance between the adsorption assemblies.

[0015] The first guide assembly includes a first guide rail, a first slider, and a guide rail plate;

[0016] The vertical transmission mechanism is connected to the guide rail plate; the second guide component and the first guide rail are arranged perpendicularly, and the driver is mounted on the guide rail plate;

[0017] The guide rail plate is connected to the vertical transmission mechanism. The first guide rail is mounted on the guide rail plate, and the first slider is disposed on the first guide rail. The extension direction of the first guide rail is parallel to the driving direction of the driver. The equidistant plate is connected to the first slider. The transmission direction of the vertical transmission mechanism is parallel to the driving direction of the driver.

[0018] By connecting the equidistant plate to the first slider, the equidistant plate can move smoothly and stably along the first guide rail under the drive of the driver.

[0019] Optionally, the second guide component includes a second guide rail and a second slider corresponding to the number of adsorption components; each of the second sliders is slidably connected to the second guide rail;

[0020] The second guide rail is fixed to the guide rail plate, and the extension direction of the second guide rail is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first guide rail. The second slider is connected to the corresponding adsorption component.

[0021] When the driver moves the equidistant plate along the first guide rail, the equidistant plate is provided with several guide holes with different slopes, which allows each adsorption component to move closer or further away from each other under the action of the guide holes and the second slider, thereby driving the adsorption components to move in the extension direction of the second guide rail and realizing the adjustment of the distance between each adsorption component.

[0022] Optionally, each set of the adsorption components includes a vacuum suction cup and a fixing member, the vacuum suction cup being connected to the fixing member, the fixing member being fixedly connected to the second slider, and the fixing member being movably connected to the equidistant plate through the guide hole.

[0023] The pen barrel is held in place by a vacuum suction cup. The strong suction force of the vacuum suction cup makes the pen barrel more stable during movement and packaging, reducing quality problems caused by the pen barrel falling off or becoming misaligned.

[0024] Optionally, the vertical transmission mechanism includes a first servo motor and a lead screw, the first servo motor being connected to the lead screw via a coupling, and the lead screw being fixedly connected to the guide rail plate; the first servo motor is also connected to the horizontal transmission mechanism.

[0025] The vertical movement distance of the adsorption component is controlled by the first servo motor, which enables precise adjustment of the height of the adsorption component.

[0026] Optionally, the horizontal transmission mechanism includes a drive assembly, a third guide rail, and a third slider;

[0027] The first servo motor is connected to the third slider; the third slider is disposed on the third guide rail, the driving component is fixedly connected to the third slider, and the driving component is used to drive the third slider to move along the third guide rail.

[0028] The third slider is driven by the driving component to move along the third guide rail, so that the pen barrel adsorbed by the adsorption component can move in the extension direction of the third guide rail, thereby moving the pen barrel to the preset work position.

[0029] Optionally, the driving assembly includes a second servo motor, a first wheel, a second wheel, and a timing belt; the first wheel and the second wheel are respectively disposed at both ends of the third guide rail, and the first wheel and the second wheel are connected by the timing belt, which is fixedly connected to the third slider; the second servo motor is connected to the first wheel and is used to drive the first wheel and the second wheel to rotate so as to move the timing belt and the third slider.

[0030] The second servo drive wheel rotates, which in turn drives the timing belt to move. Since the timing belt is fixedly connected to the third slider, the movement of the timing belt will drive the third slider to move, thereby driving the adsorption component to move along the extension of the third guide rail, thus realizing the control of the pen barrel position adsorbed by the adsorption component.

[0031] Optionally, the horizontal transmission mechanism further includes a protective cover, which is installed on the outside of the second servo motor to protect the second servo motor.

[0032] The second servo motor is protected by a cover to prevent it from being damaged by other objects during daily use, thus improving the safety of the device.

[0033] Optionally, the pen barrel boxing and feeding device further includes a proximity switch, which is mounted on the protective cover and used to detect the position of the third slider on the third guide rail.

[0034] By using a proximity switch to detect the position of the third slider on the third guide rail in real time, the second servo motor can adjust its output according to the real-time position of the third slider, thereby limiting the range of the position that the third slider can move on the third guide rail.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0036] 1. This utility model drives the adsorption mechanism through a horizontal transmission mechanism and a vertical transmission mechanism, enabling the device to operate the pen barrel within a certain space. At the same time, the spacing between the adsorption components is adjusted through a variable pitch mechanism, allowing the pen barrels to be arranged at a more precise spacing, thereby accurately placing the pen barrels into the packaging box, improving the efficiency and accuracy of pen barrel boxing.

[0037] 2. This utility model can be configured with multiple adsorption components according to requirements. By adjusting the spacing of the variable-pitch mechanism, it can be applied to the packaging of pen barrels of different specifications and quantities. By adsorbing multiple pen barrels and packing them into a packaging box at once, production efficiency is significantly improved. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this invention. To better illustrate the following embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a pen barrel boxing and feeding device, which includes a horizontal transmission mechanism 1, a vertical transmission mechanism 2, an adsorption mechanism 4, and a variable distance mechanism 3.

[0045] The vertical transmission mechanism 2 is connected to the horizontal transmission mechanism 1, and the vertical transmission mechanism 2 is connected to the variable distance mechanism 3. The adsorption mechanism 4 includes multiple sets of adsorption components 41; the variable distance mechanism 3 is connected to the adsorption components 41, and the variable distance mechanism 3 is used to adjust the spacing between each set of adsorption components 41.

[0046] The horizontal transmission mechanism 1 and the vertical transmission mechanism 2 work together to drive the adsorption mechanism 4 to adsorb the pen barrel. After the adsorption mechanism 4 picks up the pen barrel, the horizontal transmission mechanism 1 and the vertical transmission mechanism 2 drive the adsorption mechanism 4 to move the pen barrel to a preset position. During the process of moving to the preset position, the distance between the adsorption components 41 is adjusted by the variable distance mechanism 3, so that the pen barrel can be arranged with a more precise spacing, thus accurately placing it into the packaging box. The whole process does not require manual intervention, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the pen barrel boxing.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the variable pitch mechanism 3 includes a driver 31, an equidistant plate 32, a first guide assembly 33, and a second guide assembly 34. The first guide assembly 33 is connected to the vertical transmission mechanism 2. The equidistant plate 32 is fixedly installed on the driving end of the driver 31. The guiding direction of the first guide assembly 33 is parallel to the driving direction of the driver 31, and the equidistant plate 32 is connected to the first guide assembly 33. The second guide assembly 34 is arranged perpendicular to the first guide assembly 33 and is connected to the adsorption assembly 41 so that the adsorption assembly 41 can move along the guiding direction of the second guide assembly 34.

[0048] The equidistant plate 32 is provided with a plurality of guide holes 320 with different slopes. Each group of adsorption components 41 is movably connected to the equidistant plate 32 through the corresponding guide holes 320. The driver 31 is used to drive the equidistant plate 32 to move along the guiding direction of the first guide component 33 and drive each group of adsorption components 41 to move along the guide of the second guide component 34 within the range of the corresponding guide holes 320 to adjust the spacing between each group of adsorption components 41.

[0049] The driver 31 drives the equidistant plate 32 to move along the first guide component 33, while simultaneously driving the adsorption component 41 to move along the second guide component 34. As the equidistant plate 32 moves, each group of adsorption components 41 moves closer to or further away from each other by moving within the corresponding guide hole 320 under the guidance of the second guide component 34, thereby adjusting the distance between the adsorption components 41.

[0050] Specifically, the driver 31 can be a cylinder, which is connected to the vertical transmission mechanism 2, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the equidistant plate 32.

[0051] In practice, the vacuum suction cup 412 can be connected to a vacuum generator (not shown in the figure), which can be controlled by a solenoid valve (not shown in the figure). The vacuum generator outputs a vacuum and conducts it to the bottom area of ​​the vacuum suction cup 412, thereby firmly adhering the pen barrel.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first guide assembly 33 includes a first guide rail 331, a first slider 332, and a guide plate 30. The vertical transmission mechanism 2 is connected to the guide plate 30; the second guide assembly 34 is perpendicularly arranged to the first guide rail 331, and the driver 31 is mounted on the guide plate 30; the transmission direction of the vertical transmission mechanism 2 is parallel to the driving direction of the driver 31, and the vertical transmission mechanism 2 and the driver 31 can be mounted at the same end of the guide plate 30 or at different ends of the guide plate 30.

[0053] The guide rail plate 30 is connected to the vertical transmission mechanism 2. The first slider 332 is disposed on the first guide rail 331. The first guide rail 331 is mounted on the guide rail plate 30. The extension direction of the first guide rail 331 is parallel to the driving direction of the driver 31. The equidistant plate 32 is connected to the first slider 332.

[0054] The second guide assembly 34 includes a mounting guide plate 30 and second sliders 342 corresponding to the number of adsorption assemblies 41. Each second slider 342 is slidably connected to a second guide plate 341. The second guide plate 341 is fixed to the guide plate 30 and is perpendicular to the first guide plate 331, such that the extension direction of the second guide plate 341 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first guide plate 331. The second slider 342 is connected to the corresponding adsorption assembly 41.

[0055] When the driver 31 drives the equidistant plate 32 to move along the first guide rail 331, since the equidistant plate 32 is provided with several guide holes 320 with different slopes, each adsorption component 41 can be adjusted in position within the guide hole 320 by the action of the second slider 342, thereby driving the adsorption component 41 to move in the extension direction of the second guide rail 341, thereby adjusting the distance between each adsorption component 41.

[0056] Each set of adsorption components 41 may include a vacuum suction cup 412 and a fixing member 411. The vacuum suction cup 412 is connected to the fixing member 411, and the fixing member 411 is fixedly connected to the second slider 342. The fixing member 411 is movably connected to the equidistant plate 30 through the guide hole.

[0057] Specifically, multiple vacuum suction cups 412 of each group of adsorption components 41 can be arranged in parallel. For example, in one specific embodiment, there can be 10 adsorption components 41, with each group of adsorption components 41 including 2 vacuum suction cups 412. It is understood that the number of adsorption components 41 and the number of suction cups 412 in each group of adsorption components 41 can be set according to actual needs. This is only an illustrative example and does not limit the number of adsorption components 41 or the number of suction cups 412 in each group of adsorption components 41.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the vertical transmission mechanism 2 includes a first servo motor 21 and a lead screw 23. The first servo motor 21 is connected to the lead screw 23 through a coupling 22. The lead screw 23 is connected to the guide rail plate 30 and the lead screw 23 is fixedly connected to the guide rail plate 30. The first servo motor 21 is connected to the horizontal transmission mechanism 1.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal transmission mechanism 1 includes a drive assembly, a third guide rail 12, and a third slider 13. The first servo motor 21 is connected to the third slider 13. Two third guide rails 12 may be provided, and the third slider 13 is slidably disposed on the third guide rails 12. The vertical transmission mechanism is fixedly installed on the third slider 13. The drive assembly is connected to the third slider 13 and is used to drive the third slider 13 to move along the extension direction of the third guide rail 12.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drive assembly includes a second servo motor 111, a first rotating wheel 112, a second rotating wheel 113, and a timing belt 114. The first rotating wheel 112 and the second rotating wheel 113 are respectively disposed at both ends of the third guide rail 12. The first rotating wheel 112 and the second rotating wheel 113 are connected by the timing belt 114, which is fixedly connected to the third slider 13. The second servo motor 111 is connected to the first rotating wheel 112 and is used to drive the first rotating wheel 112 and the second rotating wheel 112 to rotate, thereby moving the timing belt 114 and the third slider 13.

[0061] In one alternative embodiment, the horizontal transmission mechanism 1 further includes a protective cover, which is installed on the outside of the second servo motor 111 to protect the second servo motor 111.

[0062] The pen barrel boxing and feeding device of this embodiment also includes a proximity switch, which is installed on the protective cover. The proximity switch is used to detect the position of the third slider 13 on the third guide rail 12, and restrict the movement of the third slider 13 to the position on the third guide rail 12 according to the detection result.

[0063] During operation, the first servo motor 21 and the second servo motor 111 work together to drive the adsorption mechanism 4 to move vertically and horizontally to a position above the pen. Then, the first servo motor 21 drives the adsorption mechanism 4 to descend and approach the pen, where the vacuum suction cup 412 adsorbs the pen. Next, the first servo motor 21 drives the adsorption mechanism 4 to rise vertically. After reaching a preset position, the second servo motor 111 drives the adsorption mechanism 4 to move the pen horizontally to a preset work position under the adsorption of the vacuum suction cup 412. During the process of moving the pen to the preset work position, the driver 31 pushes the equidistant plate 32 downward to adjust the distance between the adsorption components 41. When the pen reaches the preset work position, the first servo motor 21 drives the adsorption component 41 to descend above the packaging box. At this time, the vacuum suction cup 412 releases the pen, causing it to fall into the packaging box.

[0064] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific implementation of this utility model.
