TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of floss pick equipment, in particular to a floss pick based on box opening and loading equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] Floss pick, also known as dental floss pick, is a product used in daily oral care together with toothbrush. Before the floss pick, people used dental floss to achieve the same effect. Compared with dental floss, floss pick is more convenient, efficient, safe and hygienic.
[0003] Toothbrush can only brush 70% of the upper surface of the teeth, and floss pick makes up for the shortcomings of toothbrush. It is a household dental care product widely used in Europe and the United States. It can be used as a toothpick and a floss. The smooth arc-shaped floss head design protects the gums with 2 kg of floss, removes dental plaque, soft dirt and food residue. The middle of the toothpick is designed with anti-slip edges or various anti-slip textures, and the head of the toothpick is flat, like a knife, which is more conducive to inserting into the gap. It can be bent to 45 degrees, which is beneficial to remove the debris that ordinary toothpicks cannot reach.

The bag is first opened by the bag opening device, and then the floss pick is loaded into the bag. However, the order of the floss pick is disorderly, which can pierce the bag during transportation after loading into the bag. If the floss pick is loaded into the box, the disorderly order will also cause the compression of the space in the box, reduce the available storage space in the box, and the floss pick will be intertwined with each other after loading into the box.

[0044] The material pushing assembly 9 comprises a third clamping plate 901, a pushing cylinder 902 and a pushing plate 903;
[0045] One side of the third clamping plate 901 is connected with the first clamping plate 701, the pushing cylinder 902 is arranged on the other side of the third clamping plate 901, the output end of the pushing cylinder 902 is connected with the pushing plate 903, and the movement direction of the pushing plate 903 is towards the box;
[0046] The machine group moving assembly comprises a first lifting motor 2, a first lifting slide 1, a second lifting motor 4, a second lifting slide 3, a slide cylinder 5 and a track 6;
[0047] The first lifting motor 2 is matched with the first lifting slide 1, the first clamping plate 701 is connected with the first lifting slide 1, and the first clamping plate 701 moves up and down along with the first lifting slide 1 through the first lifting motor 2;
[0048] The second lifting motor 4 is matched with the second lifting slide 3, the slide cylinder 5 is arranged on the second lifting slide 3, and the slide cylinder 5 moves up and down along with the second lifting slide 3 through the second lifting motor 4;
[0049] The slide cylinder 5 is clamped with the track 6, and the second clamping plate 801 is connected with the track 6.
[0050] The number of the multiple contouring grippers 804 is two, and the two contouring grippers 804 respectively rotate at the output ends of the second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806.
[0051] The second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806 are arranged in parallel and are both perpendicular to the second card plate 801.
[0052] In this embodiment,
[0053] Specifically, dental floss picks are evenly inserted into two contoured grippers 804, with the same number of picks on each gripper. For orderly and convenient placement into the box, the floss picks are shaped like the number "9". The tails of the floss picks on the two contoured grippers 804 are positioned opposite each other. The rotation of the second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806 drives the contoured grippers 804 to rotate, which in turn drives the floss picks to rotate until the tails of the floss picks are positioned opposite each other, and the floss picks are interlocked alternately. For example, the floss picks on the left contoured gripper 804 are arranged in front, and the floss picks on the right contoured gripper 804 are arranged in back. This alternating front-to-back interlocking arrangement of the floss picks improves the utilization rate of the floss picks.
[0054] In this process, after the dental floss stick is fitted onto the two profilament grippers 804 and their shapes are alternately matched, the first lifting motor 2 drives the first clamping plate 701 on the first lifting slide 1 to move up and down. After the first clamping plate 701 moves to the highest point of the first lifting slide 1, the insert clamp 705 is aligned with the two profilament grippers 804 and gradually moves downward so that the insert clamp 705 can be clamped onto the profilament grippers 804.
[0055] Then, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the contouring gripper 804, the second lifting motor 4 drives the second lifting slide 3 to move the slide cylinder 5. Since the contouring gripper 804 is fixed on the second clamping plate 801, and the second clamping plate 801 is connected to the track 6, and the track 6 is connected to the slide cylinder 5, the contouring gripper 804 will move up and down with the slide cylinder 5. At the same time, the second clamping plate 801 on the contouring gripper 804 moves laterally with the movement of the track 6 and the slide cylinder 5.
[0056] Through the lifting and lateral movements of the first clamping plate 701 and the second clamping plate 801, the insert clamp 705 and the contour gripper 804 can flexibly adapt and engage with each other. Then, the pusher cylinder 902 on the third clamping plate 901 drives the pusher plate 903 to push the dental floss sticks. Before pushing, multiple evenly arranged dental floss sticks are fixed on the contour gripper 804 by the insert clamp 705. Then, the contour gripper 804 is removed from the multiple dental floss sticks, so that the multiple evenly arranged dental floss sticks are suspended and clamped in the insert clamp 705. Then, the pusher plate 903, driven by the pusher cylinder 902, pushes the multiple dental floss sticks into the box below for storage, thus completing all the above-mentioned fully automatic dental floss stick boxing operations.
[0057] The clamping component 705 is lifted and lowered by the first lifting motor 2, the clamping component 705 is moved laterally by the first servo motor 702, and the clamping component 705 is moved up and down by the pushing cylinder 902.
[0058] The contouring gripper 804 rotates via the second servo motor 805 and the third servo motor 806, moves laterally via the slide cylinder 5, and moves up and down via the second lifting motor 4.
[0059] In this embodiment, the insert clamp 705 consists of two clamping blocks and a horizontal plate, and the two horizontal plates are connected to the first clamping plate 701 through the two clamping blocks.
[0060] The bottom of each of the two horizontal plates has two slots, the width of which is adapted to the diameter of the two contour grippers 804.
[0061] The four slots of the two horizontal plates are respectively engaged in pairs at the front and rear ends of the contour gripper 804.
[0062] Specifically, one end of each of the two clamping blocks is connected to the first clamping plate 701, and the other end of each clamping block is connected to two corresponding horizontal plates. The two clamping blocks are arranged parallel to the first clamping plate 701, and there is a space between them to accommodate the third clamping plate 901, the pusher cylinder 902, and the pusher plate 903. The clamping block on the outer side relative to the dental floss bar is connected to the rack 704, while the clamping block on the inner side is fixed to the clamping plate. The rack 704 moves laterally on the linear guide rail 703 as driven by the first servo motor 702. The outer clamping block moves inward. Another clamping block gradually compresses, and the space is also gradually compressed to achieve the goal of clamping multiple dental floss sticks evenly arranged on the profiling gripper 804. The clamping is achieved through the action of two horizontal plates. The slots set on the horizontal plates are the openings left for the profiling gripper 804 to pass through. Therefore, after the horizontal plates clamp the dental floss sticks, the profiling gripper 804 will pull out the center of multiple dental floss sticks. The four corners of the box will be pressed against the four corners of the horizontal plates. Then, the push plate 903 pushes multiple dental floss sticks to move into the box below and put them in, so as to complete the fully automated process of aligning the dental floss sticks with each other and putting them into the box.
