Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular relates to a paper card folding and transfer mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Automated assembly equipment for 3C electronic products can automatically complete predetermined processes such as loading and unloading workpieces, positioning and clamping, workpiece conveying, assembly, packaging, and testing according to programs and algorithms. Automated equipment can be divided into two types: one is a rigid automated assembly system, which consists of dedicated assembly equipment and dedicated process equipment and is suitable for mass production; the other is a flexible assembly system, which consists of an assembly center and assembly robots and is suitable for small-batch production.

[0003] Electric toothbrushes are a new and increasingly popular electronic product. Manufacturers widely use automated assembly and packaging equipment. Automated packaging equipment has greatly improved the efficiency and quality of electric toothbrush packaging. One type of electric toothbrush packaging first uses an inner card to hold the electric toothbrush, and then the inner card and the electric toothbrush it holds are put into a color box.

[0004] See Figure 1 The cardboard 20 for electric toothbrush packaging is made of cardboard through punching and includes two upper folds 21, two upper folds 22, four lower folds 221, six upper folds 222 and two upper folds 23. It is pre-pressed with a middle fold line 21A, two side fold lines 22A and two end fold lines 23A.

[0005] See Figure 2 The folded paper card 20A is formed by folding the paper card plate 20 along the two edge fold lines 22A and the two end fold lines 23A of the paper card plate 20;

[0006] See Figure 3 The paper card 20B is formed by folding the edge paper card 20A and then folding it along the center fold line 21A. The paper card 20B has a toothbrush slot 20B1 for storing an electric toothbrush.

[0007] To address this, we developed a paper card folding and transfer mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a paper card folding and transfer mechanism for folding paper cardboard into paper cards and transporting folded paper cards and paper cards.

[0009] This utility model is implemented as follows: a paper card folding and transfer mechanism includes: a translational linear module, a translational carriage, a lifting linear module, a lifting carriage, a folding edge assembly, and a folding center assembly; the translational linear module is horizontally fixed on an external machine base, the translational carriage is fixed on the output end of the translational linear module, the lifting linear module is vertically fixed downwards on the translational carriage, the lifting carriage includes a lifting carriage upright plate, a lifting carriage base plate, and two lifting carriage ribs, the lifting carriage upright plate is vertically fixed on the output end of the lifting linear module, the lifting carriage base plate is horizontally fixed below the lifting carriage upright plate, and the two lifting carriage ribs are fixed separately on the left side of the lifting carriage upright plate and the lifting carriage base plate, the two lifting carriage ribs, the lifting carriage upright plate, and the lifting carriage base plate together form the mounting position for the folding edge assembly, and the lifting... The right side of the carriage base plate is provided with a folding component mounting position. The folding edge component is fixed to the folding edge component mounting position on the left side of the lifting carriage base plate, and the folding center component is fixed below the folding center component mounting position on the right side of the lifting carriage base plate. The folding edge component and the folding center component are spaced apart by a predetermined distance. The paper card folding and transfer mechanism is arranged from left to right as a folding edge position, a folding center position, and a unloading position spaced apart by a predetermined distance. The translation linear module can drive the translation carriage to move horizontally with the lifting linear module, the lifting carriage, the folding edge component, and the folding center component to transport the folded paper card from the folding edge position to the folding center position, and at the same time transport the paper card from the folding center position to the unloading position. The lifting linear module can drive the lifting carriage to move vertically with the folding edge component and the folding center component to participate in folding the paper card plate into a folded paper card and folding the folded paper card into a paper card.

[0010] Furthermore, the folding assembly includes a folding driver, two folding lifting slides, two folding lifting slide rods, two folding palm suction devices, and two folding palm pushers;

[0011] The folding driver is fixed on the left side of the lifting carriage base plate, located in the middle of the folding assembly mounting position. Two folding lifting sleeves are fixed separately on both ends of the left side of the lifting carriage base plate, located inside the folding assembly mounting position on both sides. Two folding lifting rods are respectively fitted inside the two folding lifting sleeves. Two folding suction cups are fixed separately on the lower left side of the lifting carriage base plate, located below the folding assembly mounting position. Multiple folding suction nozzles are provided below the folding suction cups. The multiple folding suction nozzles are used to suction the paper cardboard during folding and to suction the folded paper card during handling. The folding pusher is fixed below the output end of the folding driver, located between the two folding suction cups. The folding driver is used to drive the folding pusher to press down to fold the paper cardboard into a folded paper card.

[0012] Furthermore, the folding assembly includes two folding suction and push palms, which are fixedly positioned at the folding assembly mounting position on the right side of the lifting carriage base plate, with the two folding suction and push palms forming a folding edge groove between them. Two folding suction nozzles are provided below the folding suction and push palms. When folding, the two folding suction and push palms press down on the upper folding surfaces on both sides of the folding edge paper card for folding. The two folding suction and push palms suck up the upper folding surfaces on both sides of the paper card through the folding suction nozzles for handling and unloading.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the paper card folding and transfer mechanism are:

[0014] The paper card folding and transfer mechanism has three stations and can perform two transfers. The folding component can fold the paper card into a folded paper card according to the edge fold line and end fold line. At the same time, the center folding component folds another folded paper card into a paper card with a toothbrush holder according to the center fold line of the folded paper card. Then, the folding component can also transfer the folded paper card from the folding position to the center position. At the same time, the center folding component transfers the paper card from the center position to the unloading position. The loading and unloading components return together. This cycle repeats, and the paper card folding and transfer mechanism can automatically and continuously transfer and bend simultaneously. Attached Figure Description
