With the booming development of e-commerce and the continuous advancement of manufacturing, the demands for efficient storage and handling of goods are increasing. As a device that automatically stacks cardboard boxes, cardboard stacker cranes significantly improve warehouse space utilization and logistics efficiency.
[0003] Existing cardboard stacker cranes typically use robotic arms to grab and stack cardboard boxes. The robotic arm determines the position of the cardboard box through a preset program and sensor feedback, and then performs the grabbing and placement operation. During the transportation of the cardboard boxes, traditional conveyor devices such as conveyor belts or chains are generally used to transport the cardboard boxes from one location to the working area of the stacker crane.
[0004] Existing cardboard box stackers may deviate during the conveying process due to vibration, airflow, uneven friction, etc., making it difficult for the stacker to accurately position the cardboard boxes when grabbing them, thus affecting the neatness and stability of the stack. Therefore, a new cardboard box stacker is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a carton stacker, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art where the carton may deviate during the conveying process due to vibration, airflow, uneven friction, etc., making it difficult for the stacker to accurately position the carton when grabbing it, thus affecting the neatness and stability of the stack.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A cardboard box stacker includes a mounting cover, a sliding groove inside the mounting cover, a robotic arm inside the mounting cover, a sidewall of the robotic arm slidably connected inside the sliding groove, a conveyor frame fixedly connected inside the mounting cover, a limit component provided on the lower surface of the conveyor frame, a stacking frame inside the mounting cover, and a fixing component provided on the sidewall of the mounting cover.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-2One embodiment of this utility model is a cardboard box stacker, which includes a mounting cover 1. The mounting cover 1 has a sliding groove 3 inside. The sliding groove 3 provides a track for the movement of the robotic arm 2, so that the robotic arm 2 can slide on a specific path, thereby accurately grabbing and placing cardboard boxes. The mounting cover 1 houses a robotic arm 2, which is used to grab cartons and place them on the stacking rack 13. A conveyor frame 12 is fixedly connected inside the mounting cover 1, which is used to transport cartons to the working area of the robotic arm 2. A limit component is provided on the lower surface of the conveyor frame 12, which includes a mounting plate 4. The lower surface of the mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected inside the mounting cover 1. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 4. A rotating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5. A connecting plate 7 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating plate 6. The connecting plate 7 serves to transmit power. A fixing block 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 4. The fixing block 8 provides guidance and support for the sliding of the slider 9. The slider 9 is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixing block 8. The slider 9 slides under the drive of the connecting plate 7, thereby driving the fixing plate 10 to move. A fixing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slider 9. A limiting post 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate 10. The side wall of the limiting post 11 is slidably connected inside the conveyor frame 12. The limiting post 11 positions and clamps the carton on the conveyor frame 12 by sliding inside the conveyor frame 12, preventing the carton from shifting during the conveying process. A stacking rack 13 is provided inside the mounting cover 1. The stacking rack 13 is used to store the stacked cartons to achieve orderly storage of the cartons. A fixing component is provided on the side wall of the mounting cover 1.
[0034] When using this equipment for stacking, the cartons are first placed on the conveyor frame 12. Then, the motor 5 is started, which drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate. Under the drive of the motor 5, the rotating plate 6 rotates at a specific speed and angle, thereby driving the connecting plate 7 connected to it to rotate. The connecting plate 7 converts the rotational motion of the rotating plate 6 into the linear motion of the slider 9, causing the slider 9 to pull the fixed plate 10 to slide. Under the drive of the connecting plate 7, the slider 9 further pulls the fixed plate 10 to move. As the slider 9 moves, it drives the limiting post 11 to move accordingly, so that the limiting post 11 slowly approaches and fits against the sides of the cartons. By fitting against the sides of the cartons, the limiting post 11 accurately positions the cartons, preventing them from shifting due to factors such as vibration, airflow, and uneven friction during the conveying process. This ensures that the cartons can always be conveyed in the correct position, providing accurate position information for the subsequent gripping operation of the robotic arm 2. Subsequently, the robotic arm 2 accurately grips the carton and places it on the stacking rack 13. The stacking rack 13 provides a stable storage position for the carton, ensuring the neatness and stability of the stack. This process is repeated continuously to achieve efficient and accurate carton stacking operations, improve work efficiency, and meet the needs of the logistics and warehousing sectors for carton stacking.
[0035] Reference Figures 3-4 The fixing assembly includes a fixing sleeve 17, whose sidewall is fixedly connected to the sidewall of the mounting cover 1. A locking block 19 is provided inside the fixing sleeve 17, which engages with a slot 16 inside the fixing strip 14, thereby fixing the stacking rack 13. A fixing strip 14 is fixedly connected to the sidewall of the stacking rack 13, and the fixing strip 14 cooperates with the locking block 19 to provide a connection point for fixing the stacking rack 13. A caster wheel 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the stacking rack 13, allowing for easy movement of the stacking rack 13. A slot 16 is provided inside the fixing strip 14 to accommodate the locking block 19. The sidewall of the fixing strip 14 is slidably connected inside the mounting cover 1. A sliding rod 18 is slidably connected inside the fixing sleeve 17, and the sliding rod 18 is used to move the locking block 19, enabling the locking block 19 to connect or separate from the slot 16. One end of the sliding rod 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the locking block 19, which is slidably connected inside the fixing sleeve 17, ensuring stable movement of the locking block 19 in a specific direction. The side wall of the locking block 19 is slidably connected inside the locking groove 16, and the stacking rack 13 is fixed by engaging the locking groove 16. A spring 20 is sleeved on the side wall of the sliding rod 18, with one end fixedly connected to the side wall of the locking block 19 and the other end fixedly connected inside the fixing sleeve 17. A rotating block 21 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the sliding rod 18, allowing the operator to pull the sliding rod 18 to control the movement of the locking block 19 and achieve the fixing and unlocking operations of the stacking rack 13.
[0036] After stacking is completed, the rotating block 21 can be rotated. When the rotating block 21 rotates, the sliding rod 18 moves accordingly, converting the rotation of the rotating block 21 into linear motion. During the sliding process of the sliding rod 18, the spring 20 is compressed, and the spring 20 provides elastic force to the locking block 19. When the sliding rod 18 slides, it compresses the spring 20, causing the spring 20 to be further compressed, thereby allowing the locking block 19 to disengage from the slot 16 and release the fixation of the stacking rack 13. After the fixation of the stacking rack 13 is released, the stacking rack 13 can be easily separated from the mounting cover 1. This separation design allows for more flexible operation of the stacking rack 13 in subsequent work. Through the above structure, the stacking rack 13 can be quickly separated for independent use to meet diverse business needs. The separated stacking rack 13 can be managed as an independent storage unit, facilitating the classification, sorting, and inventory of goods, improving storage efficiency and management accuracy.
[0037] Working principle: When using this equipment for stacking, first place the carton on the conveyor frame 12. Then, start the motor 5 to drive the rotating plate 6 to rotate, thereby rotating the connecting plate 7. This causes the slider 9 to pull the fixed plate 10 to slide, allowing the limiting post 11 to slowly approach and fit against the sides of the carton, thus achieving the effect of positioning the carton and preventing the carton from shifting during the conveying process. Then, the robotic arm 2 clamps the carton and places it on the stacking frame 13. This process is repeated to stack the carton. After stacking is completed, the rotating block 21 can be rotated to pull the sliding rod 18 to slide, compressing the spring 20 and causing the locking block 19 to disengage from the slot 16, thereby releasing the fixation of the stacking frame 13. At this time, the stacking frame 13 can be separated from the mounting cover 1 for subsequent work.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
