Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0019] This utility model discloses a rapid cardboard transport device for a cardboard box forming machine, comprising a support frame 1. A first station 11, a second station 12, and a third station 13 are arranged above the support frame 1. A material conveying mechanism 2 is arranged above the first station 11, the second station 12, and the third station 13. The material conveying mechanism 2 is equipped with two parallel guide rails 21. The first station 11 is the cardboard feeding station, the second station 12 is the cardboard face paper edge-wrapping station, and the third station 13 is the cardboard folding station. The first station 11, the second station 12, and the third station 13... The guide rails 21 extend beyond the front end of the first station 11 and the rear end of the third station 13. Between the two guide rails 21 are the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4. The distance between the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4 corresponds to the distance between the first station 11 and the second station 12. The guide rails 21 are equipped with motors 22 that simultaneously drive the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4. The guide rails 21 are also equipped with two sensors 23, the positions of which are respectively located at the first station 11 and the second station 12. Correspondingly, by using sensor 23 to zero motor 22, the first picking device 3 and the second picking device 4 can transport cardboard short distances and quickly between the three workstations. Specifically, the first picking device 3 is located directly above the first workstation 11, and the second picking device 4 is located directly above the second workstation 12. The first picking device 3 picks up cardboard from the first workstation 11, while the second picking device 4 picks up cardboard from the second workstation 12 that has completed the face paper edge-wrapping process. Then, motor 22 drives the first picking device 3 and the second picking device 4 to move simultaneously. The sensor corresponding to the second workstation 12 senses... After the first material handling device 3 reaches its position, the motor 22 stops, the second material handling device 4 moves from the second station 12 to the third station 13, and the first material handling device 3 moves from the first station 11 to the second station 12. After the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4 finish discharging the material, the motor 22 drives the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4 to move in opposite directions. After the sensing device corresponding to the first station 11 senses the first material handling device 3, the motor 22 stops, and the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4 complete the reset. This process is repeated to perform short-distance material handling, which is fast and accurate.

[0020] Both the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4 are equipped with a material handling frame 31, and the material handling frame 31 is equipped with an adjustable suction cup 32. The operator can manually adjust the position of the suction cup 32, or use electric power to automatically adjust the position of the suction cup 32, thereby changing the shape of the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4.

[0021] More specifically, the material handling rack 31 is provided with a first guide window 33, and a plurality of lifting devices 34 are provided within the first guide window 33. Each lifting device 34 is equipped with a movable positioning frame 35, and a suction cup 32 is connected to the positioning frame 35. The suction cup 32 is externally connected to an air pump and air pipe, allowing the suction cup 32 to adsorb cardboard through negative pressure. The lifting device 34 is a downward-facing cylinder, which moves the suction cup 32 up and down to grab and place the cardboard. The operator can manually adjust the position of the lifting device 34 within the first guide window 33, thereby adjusting the spacing between each positioning frame 35 to facilitate the gripping of cardboard of different lengths.

[0022] The positioning frame 35 is provided with a second guide window 36, and the suction cups 32 are disposed within the second guide window 36. The guide of the second guide window 36 is perpendicular to the guide wire of the first guide window 33. Each positioning frame 35 is provided with multiple suction cups 32. The operator can manually adjust the position of the suction cups 32 within the second guide window 36, thereby adjusting the spacing between the suction cups 32 within the positioning frame 35 to facilitate gripping cardboard of different widths. This utility model can grip cardboard of various specifications and sizes by adjusting the position of the suction cups 32, making it highly applicable.

[0023] The guide rail 21 is equipped with a transmission belt 24 connected to the motor 22. The guide rail 21 also has a first moving module 25 and a second moving module 26 fixedly connected to the transmission belt 24. A first material handling device 3 is fixedly connected to the first moving module 25, and a second material handling device 4 is fixedly connected to the second moving module 26. Both guide rails 21 are equipped with motors 22, which are powered synchronously. The motors 22 drive the transmission belt 24 to rotate, causing the first moving module 25 and the second moving module 26 to move linearly along the guide rail 21 simultaneously, resulting in high speed and stability.

[0024] The distance between the first moving module 25 and the second module corresponds to the distance between the two sensors 23 on the same guide rail 21. This structure, i.e., the distance between the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4, corresponds to the distance between the first station 11 and the second station 12. Since the first station 11, the second station 12, and the third station 13 are equidistantly arranged, the first material handling device 3 and the second material handling device 4 form a dual-position feeding structure. Only one forward movement is needed to release material from both stations, improving the equipment's production efficiency.

[0025] The first moving module 25 is equipped with a sensing plate 27. The sensor 23 senses the position of the first picking device 3 and the second picking device 4 through the sensing plate 27. In the same guide rail 21, when the sensor 23 corresponding to the first station 11 senses the sensing plate 27, the first picking device 3 is directly above the first station 11, which is the reset state. In this state, the first picking device 3 waits for the cardboard to be conveyed in from the outside, and the second picking device 4 waits for the cardboard face paper edge wrapping process on the second station 12 to be completed. When the sensor 23 corresponding to the second station 12 senses the sensing plate 27, the second picking device 4 is above the third station 13, and the first picking device 3 is above the second station 12. At this time, the first picking device 3 and the second picking device 4 simultaneously place the cardboard on the corresponding station. Then the motor 22 drives the first picking device 3 and the second picking device 4 back to the reset state, and the material handling action is completed.

[0026] The second material handling device 4 is equipped with a drive device 37 that can drive the suction cup 32 to move. The drive device 37 is a cylinder with the same direction as the guide window 33. After the first material handling device 3 places the cardboard in the second station 12, the first material handling device 3 resets, and the suction cup 32 of the second material handling device 4 sucks the cardboard downward to fix it, making it easier for the edge-wrapping equipment of the second station 12 to process the cardboard. During this process, the drive device 37 can drive the suction cup 32 to move, changing the position of the cardboard to assist the edge-wrapping equipment of the second station 12 in processing the cardboard more efficiently. It can perform edge-wrapping operations on cardboard of different lengths and widths without changing the layout of the equipment in the second station 12, and has multiple functions.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, based on the concept of this invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. 。
