Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frame production technology, specifically to a frame feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern packaging industry, as consumers' demands for product packaging functionality, aesthetics, and user experience continue to rise, paper boxes, as one of the most widely used packaging forms, are also constantly innovating and developing. To meet these needs, manufacturers have begun to explore and apply new technologies to enhance the functional characteristics of paper boxes. One particularly noteworthy application is embedding magnets in the box's frame. This not only enhances the box's closure and sealing performance but also gives the packaging more interactivity and a premium feel.

[0003] However, the traditional method of embedding magnets involves manually fixing them to the frame with glue, which has many limitations. This method is not only inefficient and susceptible to human factors that lead to unstable quality, but also extremely costly to repair or remake if an error occurs, such as a misaligned magnet. It may also result in material waste and potential safety hazards. Furthermore, relying on manual operation in the long term is not conducive to enterprises meeting the growing demand for diversified products and the requirements of technological advancements. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for a frame, comprising an operating table and a conveyor table mounted on the operating table, a frame fixed on the operating table, a vertical frame fixed on the frame, and a pushing part slidably connected to the frame, a picking part also mounted on the operating table, a fixing plate mounted on the frame, two sets of frame plates fixed on the fixing plate, a guiding part provided between one frame plate and the fixing plate, and multiple unloading parts mounted on the other frame plate, and a dropping part located above the fixing plate on the vertical frame;

[0005] The feeding part includes a mounting block, a guide cylinder is fixed inside the mounting block, a guide tube is fixed inside the guide cylinder, the guide cylinder and the guide tube are both hollow and connected, and an inner groove is opened inside the guide cylinder, and a pressing part is provided in the inner groove.

[0006] Furthermore, the clamping part includes a top post disposed in the inner groove and a spring located above the top post. A side groove is provided on one side of the top post, and the bottom of the top post is inclined. A pin hole is provided on the outer side of the guide tube, which is connected to the inner groove and opposite to the side groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the material unloading section includes multiple side plates, a pair of side plates, and a pair of baffles fixed on the upright and located above the fixed plate, and the side plates, side plates, and baffles form a storage area.

[0008] Furthermore, the pushing unit includes a belt drive device mounted on the operating table and a movable plate slidably connected to the frame. The bottom of the movable plate is fixed to the belt of the belt drive device, and a push plate that is attached to the surface of the fixed plate and can extend to the bottom of the storage area is also fixed on one side of the movable plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide includes a pair of side stops and a plurality of tail stops mounted on a fixed plate, and a plurality of upper plates located above the fixed plate with gaps are also fixed on one of the frame plates.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-8 This embodiment of a frame feeding device includes an operating table 1 and a conveyor table 2 mounted on the operating table 1. The operating table 1 is also equipped with a material picking part, a vertical frame 4, a platform 8, and a pushing part that is slidably connected to the platform 8. A fixed plate 12 is slidably connected to the platform 8. A pair of frame plates 15 are fixed on the fixed plate 12. A guide part is provided between the rear frame plate 15 and the fixed plate 12. A material unloading part is installed on the front frame plate 15. A material dropping part is provided on the vertical frame 4. The pushing end of the pushing part is in contact with the surface of the fixed plate 12 and can also extend to the bottom of the material dropping part.

[0024] In the above structure, the stacked frames are stored in the unloading section, and the bottom frame is located on the fixed plate. Then, the operation of the pushing section can push the bottom frame forward. During the pushing process, the pushing end will also seal the bottom of the unloading section. Then, when it retracts, the frame will fall naturally. Repeating the above actions can complete the pushing operation.

[0025] Then, guided by the guide unit, the frame is pushed to the end of the operating table. During the pushing process, the through hole of the frame passes through the feeding unit. When the bottom feeding port of the feeding unit is opposite to the through hole, the magnet will naturally fall into the through hole to complete the magnet embedding work. Then, in conjunction with the picking unit, the frame and the magnet are attracted together onto the conveyor table to complete the bonding and conveying.

[0026] like Figure 3The unloading section includes four side plates 5, two side panels 7, and two baffles 6 fixed to the upright frame 4. The four side plates 5 are on the same axis, and the two baffles 6 are opposite to the leftmost and rightmost side plates 5, respectively. The two side panels 7 are located between the leftmost and rightmost side plates 5 and the baffles 6, respectively. Therefore, a storage area is formed between the side plates 5, baffles 6, and side panels 7. The bottom of the side plates 5, baffles 6, and side panels 7 has a gap with the surface of the fixed plate 12 equal to the thickness of the frame. Thus, the frames can be stacked and stored in the storage area, and can freely fall onto the fixed plate through the bottom gap to complete the unloading operation.

[0027] like Figure 2 , 4 The push unit includes a belt drive device 9 mounted on the operating table 1 and a movable plate 10 slidably connected to the frame 8. The bottom of the movable plate 10 is fixed to the belt end of the belt drive device 9. A push plate 11 is fixed to the back of the movable plate 10 and is in contact with the plate surface of the fixed plate 12. The thickness of the push plate 11 is the same as the thickness of the frame. Therefore, the push plate 11 can extend to the bottom of the storage area, thereby pushing the frame that has fallen onto the fixed plate 12 forward and blocking the bottom of the storage area until the push plate retracts and the frame falls down again. This reciprocating operation can push one frame at a time, causing the frame to move forward.

[0028] The guide section includes a pair of side stops 13 and four tail stops 14 mounted on a fixed plate 12. The pair of side stops 13 are located on both sides of the fixed plate 12, and the tail stops 14 are located at the tail end of the fixed plate 12 and between the pair of side stops 13. Figure 2 Four upper plates 16 are fixed to the left-side shelf plate 15 with screws. The right ends of the upper plates 16 and the side guards 13 extend to the bottom of the upright frame 4, and there is a gap between the upper plates 16 and the fixing plate 12. When the storage area falls to the enclosure, the enclosure is located between the two side guards. When pushed forward by the pusher, the side guards can guide the enclosure and prevent it from shifting. After being pushed forward a certain distance, the enclosure will be located below the upper plates. The upper plates then prevent the enclosure from arching during the pushing process until the enclosure is moved to the designated position after it is in contact with the tail guard.

[0029] The upper plate is fixed with screws as described above, so the position of the upper plate can be adjusted as needed.

[0030] In addition, combining the above and Figure 6The unloading section includes mounting blocks 17 fixed to the right-side frame plate 15 via screws. There are at least three mounting blocks 17. A guide cylinder 18 is fixed to the inner side of each mounting block 17. The guide cylinder 18 is hollow, and a connecting guide tube 19 is fixed to the top of its inner side. A gap equal to the thickness of the frame is left between the bottom of the guide cylinder 18 and the fixed plate 12. First, the frame is moved and adjusted on the fixed plate so that when the stacked magnets are placed into the guide tube and guide cylinder, the bottom magnet is supported by the frame and seals the unloading port of the guide cylinder until the hole on the frame aligns with the unloading port. Therefore, the magnet in the guide cylinder falls into the hole to complete the unloading operation. Then, by moving the frame forward, the second bottom magnet separates from the bottom magnet under the limiting action of the guide cylinder. Then, it waits for the next set of frames to fall into the hole. Simultaneously, the mounting blocks can also move on the frame plate, allowing for position adjustments or the addition of unloading sections based on the position of the holes on the frame.

[0031] Further explanation: The guide cylinder 18 has an inner groove inside and a pin hole 23 on the outer side that communicates with the inner groove. A top post 21 is placed inside the inner groove, and a side groove 22 is formed on the outer side of the top post 21, which is opposite to the pin hole 23. A spring 20 is also placed inside the top post 21, located above the top post 21. The bottom right side of the top post 21 is inclined. Therefore, when the frame is pushed, the frame will contact the inclined surface of the top post, thereby driving the top post to move upward and compressing the spring. At the same time, a positioning pin can be inserted into the pin hole and extend into the side groove, which can control the distance of the top post's vertical movement. When the magnet falls into the frame hole and passes the top post, under the action of the spring, it can drive the top post to apply a downward force to press against the magnet, making the magnet fit better into the frame hole.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 5 7. The material handling unit includes a robotic arm 3 mounted on the operating table 1. The moving end of the robotic arm 3 is fixed with a transfer frame 24, and multiple suction cups 25 and multiple suction tubes 26 are fixed on the transfer frame 24 by screws. When the frame is filled with magnets and moved to the end of the operating table to be in contact with the end stop, the robotic arm will drive the transfer frame to move and be in contact with the frame. The suction cups will be used to make the frame surface contact, and at the same time, the suction tubes will attract the magnets in the holes and move them to the conveyor table to complete the bonding and conveying. At the same time, suction cups or suction tubes can be added as needed, and their positions can also be changed to adapt to the current frame material handling.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0034] By placing the stacked frames between the side plates, baffles, and side panels, the frames fall onto the fixed plate. The belt drive drives the moving plate to reciprocate, which in turn drives the pusher plate to push the frames forward and backward. The frames are also guided and conveyed by the side baffles and the top plate until they pass through the guide cylinder. Then, the stacked magnets are placed in the guide tube and guided into the guide cylinder. When the discharge port of the guide cylinder is aligned with the frame hole, the magnets fall into the hole. At the same time, the frame pushes the top post to compress the spring. When the magnets are below the top post, the spring force applies downward pressure to make the product fit the hole better until it is in contact with the tail baffle. The mechanical wall drives the transfer frame to move, and with the help of suction cups and suction tubes, the frames and magnets are attracted and transferred to the conveyor table for bonding and conveying.
