[0018] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the embodiments of this utility model include:

[0019] An online material sorting and feeding machine includes a conveyor line 1, a lifting cylinder 2, a servo motor 3, a steering wheel 4, a deflection lever 5, a right-angle notch 6, a first channel 7, a protective railing 8, a second channel 9, and an adjustable fixed block 10. The lifting cylinder 2 is mounted on the conveyor line 1, and the servo motor 3 is connected to the lifting cylinder 2. The steering wheel 4 is horizontally mounted on the servo motor 3. The deflection lever 5 is arranged in four equally spaced and staggered positions on the steering wheel 4, and adjacent deflection levers 5 form a right-angle notch 6. The first channel 7 is provided on the conveyor line 1. A protective railing 8 is provided on the path of the first channel 7, which is directly guided to a right-angle notch 6. The protective railing 8 changes diameter along the contour of the steering wheel 4 and forms the second channel 9. An adjustable fixed block 10 is provided at the end of the conveyor line 1 to block the first channel 7 and the second channel 9.

[0020] The first channel 7 is provided with a clamping mechanism 11 on the outer side of the upstream port of the steering wheel 4. The clamping mechanism 11 consists of a first clamping side plate 12 parallel to the guardrail 8 and a first clamping cylinder 13 connected to the first clamping side plate 12. A first photoelectric detection switch 14 is provided on the outer side of the conveyor line 1 and is matched with the clamping mechanism 11.

[0021] Furthermore, the second channel 9 is provided with a clamping mechanism 15 on the outer side of the downstream port of the steering wheel 4. The clamping mechanism 15 consists of a second clamping side plate 16 parallel to the guardrail 8 and a second clamping cylinder 17 connected to the second clamping side plate 16. A fifth photoelectric detection switch 18 is provided on the outer side of the conveyor line 1, and the fifth photoelectric detection switch 18 is matched with the clamping mechanism 15.

[0022] Furthermore, a middle partition 19 is provided between the first channel 7 and the second channel 9, and the middle partition 19 is arranged upstream of the adjustable fixed block 10.

[0023] Furthermore, an upper pressure plate 20 is provided on the first channel 7. The upper pressure plate 20 is located at the diameter change position of the protective railing 8. When the steering wheel 4 is controlled by the lifting cylinder 2, the height is switched based on the horizontal height of the upper pressure plate 20. A second photoelectric detection switch 21 is provided on the outside of the conveyor line 1. The second photoelectric detection switch 21 is matched with the upper pressure plate 20.

[0024] Furthermore, a third photoelectric detection switch 22 and a fourth photoelectric detection switch 23 are provided on the outer side of the conveyor line 1. The third photoelectric detection switch 22 is matched on the first channel 7 upstream of the steering wheel 4, and the fourth photoelectric detection switch 23 is matched on the second channel 9 downstream of the steering wheel 4.

[0025] This mechanism is a high-speed online material handling and arrangement mechanism for cardboard box products during packing. It is described below using a 2+3 arrangement rule.

[0026] Initial states of this mechanism: Conveyor line 1 is always running; clamping mechanism 11 retracts its cylinder, opening the feeding channel (i.e., the first channel 7); lifting cylinder 2 extends, blocking the straight-moving channel (i.e., the first channel 7); servo motor 3 stops, and steering wheel 4... Figure 1 The system is in a waiting state at the origin; the clamping mechanism 15 cylinder retracts, opening the travel channel (i.e., the second channel 9).

[0027] Operation Description: Packaged cardboard boxes 200 are continuously conveyed from the front-end process to conveyor line 1 of this mechanism. The wide side 100 of the cardboard box is conveyed forward. When the cardboard box reaches the steering wheel 4, it is blocked. When both the third photoelectric detection switch 22 and the second photoelectric detection switch 21 detect the product, the release condition is met. The lifting cylinder 2 retracts, driving the servo motor 3 and the steering wheel 4 to rise, opening the release channel (i.e., the first channel 7), and releasing the two cardboard boxes. If a third cardboard box reaches the position of the first photoelectric detection switch 14 at this time, the clamping mechanism 11 cylinder extends to clamp and fix the third cardboard box, preventing feeding. If the first photoelectric detection switch 14 does not detect the third material, the clamping mechanism 11 does not operate. When the two cardboard boxes have completely passed the photoelectric position of the fourth photoelectric detection switch 23, they are removed from the rotation area of ​​the steering wheel 4. The lifting cylinder 2 descends, the steering wheel 4 continues to close the travel channel (i.e., the first channel 7), and at the same time, the clamping mechanism 11 cylinder retracts to continue feeding downwards.

[0028] When the third photoelectric detection switch 22 detects material, the servo motor 3 starts, driving the steering wheel 4 to rotate 90°, turning the cardboard box 90°. After the cardboard box rotates, it continues to move towards the gripping position (i.e., the adjustable fixed stop 10) along the conveyor line 1. After passing the fourth photoelectric detection switch 23, it leaves the rotation area of ​​the steering wheel 4, and the steering wheel 4 can then perform the next rotation. When performing the turning action, as long as the third photoelectric detection switch 22 detects that the product is in place, the steering wheel 4 can turn, at which time the detection functions of the first and second photoelectric detection switches are disabled. The protective railing 8 here is folded into an arc shape, concentric with the steering wheel 4. When the cardboard box is turned, it is thrown into the passageway (i.e., the second channel 9) due to tangential force. After turning three cardboard boxes, the cardboard box straight-line procedure is executed again, releasing the first channel 7, and so on.

[0029] When the photoelectric sensor at the fourth photoelectric detection switch 23 continuously detects material (the duration of the detection signal is longer than the time required for a single cardboard box to travel, which can be set according to the actual speed), it proves that the gripping position is full. Then, the clamping mechanism 11 quickly clamps the subsequent cardboard boxes, the lifting cylinder 2 and the steering wheel 4 both stop operating, the conveyor line 1 stops running, and an alarm is triggered.

[0030] When the fifth photoelectric detection switch 18 detects the material and the detection signal duration is greater than the time required for a single carton to travel, the arrangement requirement is met. The clamping mechanism 15 cylinder extends to clamp the 2+3 material 99 to eliminate the gap in the middle and meet the gripping requirement. Then, wait for the gripper to grab the arranged product and pack it into a carton.

[0031] The middle partition 19 separates the conveying channels of arrangement 2 and 3 to prevent the carton of arrangement 2 from shifting during the conveying process of the first channel 7 and affecting the entry of the carton of arrangement 3 (that is, the second channel 9) (therefore the arrangement order is 2 first and then 3).

[0032] This mechanism can accommodate both intermittent feeding (discontinuous arrangement) and continuous feeding (gapless arrangement) turning arrangements of individual cartons, making it highly adaptable to various production line conditions with disordered material intake. The mechanism offers stable and fast alignment, handling 10-50 cartons per minute for different materials. It also enables orderly product arrangement, providing structural support for the one-to-one information mapping between products and cartons.

[0033] In addition to being suitable for arranging and organizing cardboard boxes, it can also be used for arranging and organizing cardboard boxes in carton palletizing equipment.

[0034] In summary, this utility model provides an online material sorting and arranging machine. Because a liftable steering wheel 4 is added to the conveyor line 1, the material in a single channel can be split and distributed into two channels and stacked in a 2+3 order (two horizontal and three vertical arrangement rule, which is only described here with this value, but is not limited to this value). The arrangement and stacking are completed online, which meets the packaging arrangement requirements and significantly improves packaging efficiency.

[0035] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
