Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging box palletizing technology, and in particular to a metal box positioning component that facilitates palletizing. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, packaging boxes are often used to pack and package the products. On the one hand, they can protect the products, and on the other hand, they can solve the problem of loose products being difficult to stack and transport. Packaging boxes allow products of any shape to be stacked and transported in a palletized manner, which facilitates storage and transportation.

[0003] Currently, forklifts are used for palletizing. However, it is inconvenient for forklift operators to observe whether the boxes are neatly arranged during palletizing, which can easily lead to positional shifts. As the height of the pallet increases, this instability will intensify, which may cause the entire pallet to tilt or even collapse. This will not only damage the goods but also pose a threat to personnel safety. Therefore, a metal box positioning component that facilitates palletizing is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a metal box positioning component that facilitates palletizing, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A metal box positioning assembly for easy palletizing includes a box body, a fixing frame fixedly installed on the outer side of the box body, three mounting brackets fixedly installed on the top side of the fixing frame, each mounting bracket being U-shaped and having a circular hole, with a first rotating column, a second rotating column, and a third rotating column respectively installed in the three sets of circular holes, and a linkage assembly between the first rotating column, the second rotating column, and the third rotating column, respectively. Two fixing plates are fixedly installed on the top side of the fixing frame, with an actuation assembly between the two fixing plates, and multiple positioning assemblies are installed above the fixing frame.

[0007] Preferably, the linkage assembly includes a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear fixedly connected to both ends of the first rotating column, and a third bevel gear and a fourth bevel gear fixedly connected to both ends of the second rotating column, wherein the third bevel gear and the second bevel gear mesh with each other.

[0008] Preferably, a fifth bevel gear is fixedly connected to one end of the third rotating column, and the fifth bevel gear meshes with the fourth bevel gear.

[0009] Preferably, the starting assembly includes a motor fixedly installed on one side of the left fixed plate. The output end of the motor rotates through the two fixed plates and is fixedly installed with a rotating rod. The output end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a linkage bevel gear, which meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning assembly includes a first rotating column, a second rotating column, a third rotating column, and a sleeve fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating rod, and clamping blocks are fixedly connected to the top side of the multiple sleeves.

[0011] Preferably, each of the multiple clamping blocks has an inclined surface on its inner side, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to each of the multiple inclined surfaces.

[0012] Preferably, a set of limiting rings is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the first rotating column, the second rotating column, and the third rotating column. Each set of limiting rings consists of two rings, and the sides of the multiple sets of limiting rings that are close to each other are respectively attached to the sides of the multiple sets of mounting brackets that are far apart from each other.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This metal box positioning component that facilitates stacking uses a motor to drive a linkage bevel gear to rotate counterclockwise. Under the linkage of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth bevel gears, the first, second, third, and fourth rotating columns and the rotating rod rotate counterclockwise synchronously. This causes the inclined surfaces on the inner sides of multiple clamping blocks to fit against the outer side of the box body, thereby completing the positioning and clamping of the box body. This prevents the box body from shaking after stacking. Furthermore, because the distance between the multiple clamping blocks is adjusted by the motor, it can clamp and position boxes of different sizes. Through clamping and positioning, the safety factor after stacking is greatly improved. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4A metal box positioning assembly for easy stacking includes a box body 1. A fixing frame 2 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the box body 1. Three mounting brackets 7 are fixedly installed on the top side of the fixing frame 2. The three mounting brackets 7 are all U-shaped and have round holes. A first rotating column 8, a second rotating column 9, and a third rotating column 10 are respectively arranged in the three sets of round holes. A linkage assembly is arranged between the first rotating column 8, the second rotating column 9, and the third rotating column 10. Two fixing plates 3 are fixedly installed on the top side of the fixing frame 2. An actuation assembly is arranged between the two fixing plates 3. Multiple positioning assemblies are arranged above the fixing frame 2. The linkage assembly includes a first bevel gear 11 and a second bevel gear 12 fixedly connected to both ends of the first rotating column 8. A third bevel gear 13 and a fourth bevel gear 14 fixedly connected to both ends of the second rotating column 9. The third bevel gear 13 and the second bevel gear 12 mesh with each other. A fifth bevel gear 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the third rotating column 10. The fifth bevel gear 15 and the fourth bevel gear 14 mesh with each other. The engagement is achieved through the arrangement of a linkage bevel gear 6, a first bevel gear 11, a second bevel gear 12, a third bevel gear 13, a fourth bevel gear 14, and a fifth bevel gear 15. Because the linkage bevel gear 6 meshes with the first bevel gear 11, the second bevel gear 12 meshes with the third bevel gear 13, and the fourth bevel gear 14 meshes with the fifth bevel gear 15, when the linkage bevel gear 6 rotates counterclockwise, it synchronously drives the first bevel gear 11 to rotate counterclockwise. When the first bevel gear 11 rotates, it drives the first rotating column 8 to rotate, thereby causing the second bevel gear 12 to drive the third bevel gear 13 to rotate counterclockwise, and then causing the fourth bevel gear 14 to synchronously drive the fifth bevel gear 15 to rotate counterclockwise. When the first rotating column 8, the second rotating column 9, the third rotating column 10, and the rotating rod 5 are rotating counterclockwise, they synchronously drive multiple clamping blocks 18 to move toward the four sides of the box body 1, thereby completing the positioning and clamping of the box body 1. After clamping, it can prevent the box body 1 from shaking.

[0021] Specifically, the starting component includes a motor 4 fixedly installed on one side of the left fixed plate 3. The output end of the motor 4 rotates through the two fixed plates 3 and is fixedly installed with a rotating rod 5. The output end of the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to a linkage bevel gear 6, which meshes with the first bevel gear 11. By rotating the motor 4 counterclockwise, multiple sets of clamping blocks 18 can be moved toward the four sides of the box body 1. When it is necessary to stop the positioning clamping, simply start the motor 4 to drive the rotating rod 5 to rotate clockwise. By adjusting the motor 4, box bodies 1 of different sizes can be clamped and positioned.

[0022] Specifically, the positioning assembly includes a first rotating column 8, a second rotating column 9, a third rotating column 10, and sleeves 17 fixedly fitted to the outer sides of the rotating rod 5. Clamping blocks 18 are fixedly connected to the top sides of each sleeve 17. Inclined surfaces 19 are formed on the inner sides of each clamping block 18, and anti-slip pads 20 are fixedly connected to each inclined surface 19. By providing multiple clamping blocks 18, when the rotating rod 5, the first rotating column 8, the second rotating column 9, and the third rotating column 10 all rotate counterclockwise synchronously, the multiple clamping blocks 18 are simultaneously driven towards... The four sides of the box body 1 are moved to complete the positioning and clamping of the box body 1, so that the box body 1 is placed in the center. Because the inner sides of the multiple clamping blocks 18 are provided with inclined surfaces 19, the inclined surfaces 19 can better fit with the four sides of the box body 1. Furthermore, the multiple anti-slip pads 20 can make the box body 1 fit more firmly with the multiple clamping blocks 18. Since the tilt angle of the multiple clamping blocks 18 is adjusted by the motor 4, it can clamp and position box bodies 1 of different sizes, making it more practical.

[0023] Specifically, a set of limiting rings 16 are fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the first rotating column 8, the second rotating column 9, and the third rotating column 10. There are two limiting rings 16 in each set. The side of the multiple sets of limiting rings 16 that are close to each other is respectively attached to the side of the multiple sets of mounting brackets 7 that are far apart from each other. By setting multiple sets of limiting rings 16, the multiple sets of limiting rings 16 can limit the first rotating column 8, the second rotating column 9, and the third rotating column 10, so that they can only rotate and avoid forward and backward displacement during rotation.

[0024] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control.

[0025] In use: Place the box body 1 to be stacked on top of the box body 1 using a forklift. Slight alignment is sufficient during placement. Then, start the motor 4 to drive the rotating rod 5 to rotate counterclockwise. Because the linkage bevel gear 6 meshes with the first bevel gear 11, the second bevel gear 12 meshes with the third bevel gear 13, and the fourth bevel gear 14 meshes with the fifth bevel gear 15, the counterclockwise rotation of the linkage bevel gear 6 synchronously drives the first bevel gear 11 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the first bevel gear 11 then drives the first rotating column 8 to rotate, causing the second bevel gear 12 to drive the third bevel gear 13 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn causes the fourth bevel gear 14 to synchronously drive the fifth bevel gear 15 to rotate counterclockwise. 8. When the second rotating column 9, the third rotating column 10, and the rotating rod 5 rotate counterclockwise, they will simultaneously drive multiple clamping blocks 18 to move toward the four sides of the box body 1, thereby completing the positioning and clamping of the box body 1. This allows the box body 1 to be placed in the center. Since the inner sides of the multiple clamping blocks 18 are provided with inclined surfaces 19, the inclined surfaces 19 can better fit with the four sides of the box body 1. Furthermore, the multiple anti-slip pads 20 can make the box body 1 fit more firmly with the multiple clamping blocks 18. Since the tilt angle of the multiple clamping blocks 18 is adjusted by the motor 4, it can clamp and position box bodies 1 of different sizes, so that the box body 1 will not shift or shake after stacking.
