Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging technology, specifically relating to a gray board feeding device for a packaging box forming machine. Background Technology
[0002] Wine is a liquid commodity, and on today's dazzling array of supermarket shelves, what often catches people's eye first is the wine's outer packaging—the wine box. Wine packaging plays a crucial role in wine sales, especially in attracting consumers, increasing product value, satisfying consumers' emotional needs, and strengthening brand and corporate image—a role that is increasingly recognized.
[0003] Wine boxes generally consist of a box body and a box lid. The box body includes a bottom sealing board and a box body panel. The packaging box forming machine folds the box body panel into a cylindrical box body tube, and at the same time combines the bottom sealing board with the box body tube. The bottom sealing board and the box body tube are glued together by the adhesive wings on the box body tube.
[0004] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN204162123U and patent title "Bottom Gray Board Feeding Device for Packaging Box Processing" discloses a gray board feeding device including a pushing mechanism for pushing gray boards out of stacked gray boards. The pushing mechanism includes a mounting frame, a baffle assembly for surrounding the stacked gray boards, and a pusher block for pushing the gray boards out of the baffle assembly. The pusher block is located below the baffle assembly and moves linearly, applying pressure to the edge of the gray board to horizontally push it out of the stacked gray boards. Simultaneously, the mounting frame is equipped with a correction component for correcting the position of the gray boards pushed out by the pushing mechanism. The correction component includes a front positioning plate, a left positioning plate, and a right positioning plate, with a correction cylinder located on the outer side of the left positioning plate. When correcting the gray board position, the pusher block of the pushing mechanism pushes the gray board to make it contact the front positioning plate, and the correction cylinder pushes the gray board through the left positioning plate to make it contact the right positioning plate. The patented technology has largely automated the entire feeding process, reducing the workload of workers, thereby improving processing efficiency and minimizing the impact of human factors, thus improving the stability of product quality.
[0005] However, the aforementioned patent structure is complex and there is still room for simplification and optimization to further improve efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a gray board feeding device for a packaging box forming machine, which has a simple structure and can improve production efficiency.
[0007] The embodiments of this utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0008] A grey board feeding device for a packaging box forming machine includes a grey board hopper, a feeding mechanism, and a loading robot, all three of which are fixed to a base plate. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding plate and a feeding drive.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the feeding drive component is a feeding cylinder, and it is fixed to the base plate.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the gray board silo includes an arch frame and a silo, the silo is fixed to the arch frame, the arch frame is fixed to the base plate, and the feeding plate can pass under the arch frame. The discharge port is located on the arch frame and communicates with the silo.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hopper includes several side baffles fixed to the arch frame, and the several side baffles together form a space for accommodating a stack of gray boards.
[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the loading robot includes a column, a lifting mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a loading unit. The column is fixed to the base plate, the lifting mechanism is fixed to the column, the lifting mechanism drives the rotating mechanism to lift and lower, the rotating mechanism drives the loading unit to rotate, and the loading unit is provided with several negative pressure suction cups for picking up the ash board.

[0032] This application relates to a gray board 5 feeding device for a packaging box forming machine, including a gray board hopper, a feeding mechanism, and a feeding robot, all three of which are fixed to a base plate 1. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding plate 31 and a feeding drive 32. The feeding plate 31 is slidably connected to the base plate 1. The feeding plate 31 has a gray board groove 311 for receiving gray board 5. The shape of the gray board groove 311 is the same as the shape of the gray board 5. The feeding drive 32 drives the feeding plate 31 to load the gray board 5. The material feeding station and the unloading station reciprocate between each other. The bottom of the gray board silo is provided with a discharge port 23. When the feeding plate 31 is located at the loading station, the gray board 5 in the gray board silo falls from the discharge port 23 into the gray board trough 311. There is a gap between the side wall of the gray board trough 311 and the gray board 5. When the feeding drive 32 drives the feeding plate 31 to the unloading station, the loading robot grabs the gray board 5 in the gray board trough 311 and transfers it to the next process.
[0033] The following embodiments are further elaborated based on the above solutions.
[0034] Example
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a gray board feeding device for a packaging box forming machine, including a gray board hopper, a feeding mechanism, and a feeding robot, all three of which are fixed to a base plate 1. The base plate 1 is fixed to the table of the packaging box forming machine. The feeding mechanism is used to transfer gray boards 5 from the loading station to the unloading station one by one. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding plate 31 and a feeding drive component 32. The feeding plate 31 is slidably connected to the base plate 1 through a linear slide rail. The feeding drive component 32 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other components capable of linear reciprocating motion. In this embodiment, the feeding drive component 32 is a feeding cylinder, which is fixed on the base plate 1. The feeding cylinder drives the feeding plate 31 to reciprocate between the loading station and the unloading station. The feeding plate 31 is provided with a gray plate groove 311 for accommodating the gray plate 5, and the shape of the gray plate groove 311 is the same as the shape of the gray plate 5. When the gray plate 5 is in the gray plate groove 311, there is a gap between the side wall of the gray plate groove 311 and the gray plate 5. The gap value can be 2-3mm to ensure that the gray plate 5 can fall smoothly into the gray plate groove 311, and at the same time ensure that the position deviation of the gray plate 5 in the gray plate groove 311 does not exceed the design range. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can change the gap value according to specific needs.
[0036] In this embodiment, the gray board hopper includes an arch frame 21 and a hopper 22. The arch frame 21 is fixed to the base plate 1, and the feeding plate 31 passes under the arch frame 21. The hopper 22 is fixed to the arch frame 21. Specifically, the hopper 22 includes several side baffles 221 fixed to the arch frame 21. The side baffles 221 together form a space for accommodating stacks of gray boards 5. The bottom of the gray board hopper is provided with a discharge port 23, which is located on the arch frame 21 and communicates with the hopper 22. The gray boards 5 in the hopper 22 fall downwards through the discharge port 23 into the gray board groove 311 of the feeding plate 31.
[0037] When the feeding cylinder drives the feeding plate 31 to the loading station, that is, when the gray board trough 311 is directly below the discharge port 23, the gray board 5 in the gray board hopper falls from the discharge port 23 into the gray board trough 311. Then the feeding cylinder drives the feeding plate 31 to the unloading station, and the loading robot grabs the gray board 5 in the gray board trough 311 and transfers it to the next process. After that, the feeding cylinder drives the feeding plate 31 back to the loading station so that the next gray board 5 can be transferred to the unloading station, thus achieving the purpose of loading gray board 5.
[0038] It should be noted that since the gray board 5 in the gray board hopper falls freely, when the gray board groove 311 of the feeding plate 31 is directly below the discharge port 23, the gray board 5 in the gray board hopper can fall from the discharge port 23 into the gray board groove 311. However, in order to ensure that the feeding plate 31 only moves one gray board 5 at a time, the gap between the feeding plate 31 and the discharge port 23 is particularly critical. Specifically, within the working plane where the gray board groove 311 is located in the feeding plate 31, let the area outside the gray board groove 311 in the working plane be the sealing surface 312, that is, the working plane only contains the gray board groove 311 and the sealing surface 312. When the feeding plate 31 is not in the loading position... The gap b between the sealing surface 312 and the discharge port 23 at the bottom of the gray board hopper is less than the thickness of a single layer of gray board 5. This ensures that the gray board 5 in the gray board hopper will not enter the gap between the sealing surface 312 and the discharge port 23 at the bottom of the gray board hopper, ensuring that the gray board 5 can only be in the gray board hopper. Moreover, the sealing surface 312 can also be designed as a smooth surface to avoid abrasion of the gray board 5 surface. When the feeding plate 31 is at the loading station, the depth of the gray board groove 311 is equal to the thickness of the gray board 5. After one gray board 5 falls into the gray board groove 311, the next gray board 5 cannot enter the gap between the gray board 5 and the discharge port 23 in the gray board groove 311, ensuring that the feeding plate 31 can only transfer one gray board 5 at a time.
[0039] It should be noted that a guide pipe can be added to the discharge port 23. In this case, the arch frame 21 needs to be raised. The guide pipe can be designed with a guide path as needed. When the feed plate 31 is moved to the loading station, the gray plate groove 311 of the feed plate 31 does not need to be located directly below the discharge port 23, but should be matched with the outlet position of the guide pipe to ensure that the gray plate 5 can fall smoothly into the gray plate groove 311 through the outlet of the guide pipe.
[0040] In this embodiment, the loading robot includes a column 41, a lifting mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a loading unit. The column 41 is fixed on the base plate 1. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting drive and a connecting component. The lifting drive can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other components capable of linear reciprocating motion. In this embodiment, the lifting drive is a lifting cylinder 42, which is fixed on the column 41. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating drive, which can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other components capable of reciprocating rotation. In this embodiment, the rotating drive is a rotating cylinder 43, which is connected to the lifting cylinder 42 via the connecting component. The loading unit has an arm plate 44 and a mounting plate 45. One end of the arm plate 44 is connected to the rotating cylinder 43, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate 45. A negative pressure suction cup 46 is mounted on the mounting plate 45. The lifting cylinder 42 drives the rotating cylinder 43 to lift and lower, and the rotating cylinder 43 drives the loading unit to rotate. When the feeding plate 31 moves the gray board 5 to the unloading station, the lifting cylinder 42 drives the arm plate 44 to descend, so that the negative pressure suction cup 46 descends and sucks up the gray board 5. Then, the lifting cylinder 42 drives the negative pressure suction cup 46 to rise, and the rotating cylinder 43 drives the arm plate 44 to rotate, so as to move the gray board 5 sucked by the negative pressure suction cup 46 to the next process. Finally, the gray board 5 is released, the rotating cylinder 43 drives the arm plate 44 to rotate back to reset, and the lifting cylinder 42 drives the arm plate 44 to descend again to repeat the next gray board 5 grabbing.
[0041] In this embodiment, a gray board groove 311 is provided on the feeding plate 31. During production, the gray board 5 in the gray board hopper falls into the gray board groove 311. By controlling the gap between the gray board groove 311 and the gray board 5, the gray board 5 can not only fall smoothly into the gray board groove 311, but also be positioned and limited by the gray board groove 311. Moreover, when the feeding plate 31 is moving the gray board 5, the gray board 5 will not move freely, ensuring that the positioning accuracy of the gray board 5 is not affected by the displacement of the feeding plate 31. Compared with the prior art, the structure of this embodiment is simple. The gray board 5 completes the positioning and limiting at the same time as falling into the gray board groove 311, which optimizes the equipment operation and improves production efficiency.
[0042] 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.
