Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard packaging technology, specifically a cardboard box feeding, shaping, and bottom sealing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, carton sealing machines are manufactured according to the length, width, and height of the carton. One carton sealing machine is used to seal one type of carton. Therefore, when changing to a different carton size, the same sealing machine becomes unusable, requiring an additional machine. This means businesses need to purchase more carton sealing machines, and when there are no cars of a certain size that need sealing, that particular sealing machine will be idle.
[0003] Existing carton sealing machines cannot position and press the cartons together during transport, requiring each carton to be sealed manually or by equipment. This results in low overall work efficiency, wasted human resources, and poor practicality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a carton feeding, shaping, and bottom sealing mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a carton feeding, shaping, and bottom sealing mechanism, comprising a device frame, a feeding section corresponding to the upper side of the device frame, a robotic arm on one side of the feeding section, a conveying mechanism on the end face of the device frame, and a sealing mechanism and a tape attaching mechanism sequentially arranged at the lower end of the conveying mechanism. The feeding section includes a feeding frame, a telescopic rod, and a first drive motor. The telescopic rod is symmetrically arranged at the lower part of the feeding frame and is driven and connected to the first drive motor via a synchronous belt.
[0006] In a further optimized version, the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt, a first connecting rod, a second drive motor, and a conveyor belt width adjustment mechanism.
[0007] In a further optimized configuration, the conveyor belt width adjustment mechanism includes at least four fixed rods disposed at the lower part of the conveyor belt. Each of the four fixed rods has a connecting block at its lower end. The connecting block is rotatably connected to a rotating rod disposed at the lower side of both ends of the conveyor belt. A conveyor belt is fitted onto the rotating rod, and the conveyor belt is connected to the drive end of a third drive motor disposed between the four fixed rods.
[0008] In a further optimized configuration, the second drive motor and the connecting block on one side of it are provided with a fixing plate that is fixedly connected to each other.
[0009] In a further optimization, the gripping end of the robotic arm is provided with an adsorption mechanism connected thereto. The adsorption mechanism consists of an adsorption plate and multiple suction nozzles disposed on its end face, and an air source component is also provided on the other side of the adsorption plate away from the multiple suction nozzles.
[0010] In a further optimized configuration, the sealing mechanism is located at the lower middle part of the conveying mechanism, and includes symmetrically arranged movable plates, with telescopic cylinders provided on the outer sides of both symmetrically arranged movable plates.
[0011] In a further optimized configuration, the tape application mechanism is located on one side of the sealing mechanism and includes a mounting plate. The lower end of the mounting plate has a tape placement position, and one side of the mounting plate has a tape roller. The upper end of the mounting plate has a first carton application roller and a second carton application roller, and the lower parts of the first carton application roller and the second carton application roller are connected by a connecting plate.
[0012] In a further optimization, the top of the feeding frame is provided with a product limiting rod, and the product limiting rod is provided with multiple adjustable limiting mechanisms.
[0013] In a further optimization, photoelectric sensors are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the end face of the conveying mechanism.
[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] The cardboard box feeding, shaping, and bottom sealing mechanism provided by this utility model involves a robotic arm gripping a cardboard box from the feeding section, opening the box through a suction nozzle, and placing it on a conveyor belt. The box is then sealed at the bottom by a sealing mechanism located at the bottom of the conveyor belt. The box is then conveyed to a tape application mechanism, where the bottom of the sealed box is sealed with tape. This completes the sealing and tape application process. Furthermore, the mechanism's dimensions can be adjusted to accommodate different product sizes, making it suitable for sealing and tape application of products of any size, significantly reducing production costs for businesses.

A conveying mechanism 5 is provided on the end face of the device frame 1, and a sealing mechanism 6 and a tape attaching mechanism 7 are sequentially provided at the lower end of the conveying mechanism 5. The feeding part 2 includes a feeding frame 10, a telescopic rod 8, and a first drive motor 9. The telescopic rod 8 is symmetrically arranged at the lower part of the feeding frame 10 and is driven and connected to the first drive motor 9 through a synchronous belt.
[0022] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 5 includes a conveyor belt 13, a first connecting rod 12, a second drive motor 11, and a conveyor belt width adjustment mechanism. The conveyor belt width adjustment mechanism includes at least four fixed rods 18 disposed at the lower part of the conveyor belt 13. Each of the four fixed rods 18 has a connecting block 17 at its lower end. The connecting block 17 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 19 disposed at the lower side of both ends of the conveyor belt 13. A conveyor belt 15 is fitted on the rotating rod 19. The conveyor belt 15 is connected to the drive end of a third drive motor 14 disposed between the four fixed rods 18. The second drive motor 11 and the connecting block 17 disposed on one side are provided with a fixed plate 20 fixedly connected to each other. Driven by the third drive motor 14, the conveyor belt 15 is driven, causing the rotating rod 19 to rotate. Through the rotation of the rotating rod 19, the connecting block 17 moves laterally on the rotating rod 19.
[0023] The gripping end of the robotic arm 3 is equipped with an adsorption mechanism 4 connected thereto. The adsorption mechanism 4 consists of an adsorption plate and multiple suction nozzles set on its end face. On the other side of the adsorption plate away from the multiple suction nozzles, there is also an air source component. The cardboard that has not been opened in the feeding section is opened into a box structure through the multiple suction nozzles.
[0024] The sealing mechanism 6 is located at the lower middle part of the conveying mechanism 5. It includes symmetrically arranged movable plates 22. Both movable plates 22 are equipped with telescopic cylinders 23 on their outer sides. By extending and retracting the telescopic cylinders 23, the movable plates 22 are pushed to seal the bottom of the carton.
[0025] The tape applicator 7 is located on one side of the sealing mechanism 6 and includes a mounting plate. The lower end of the mounting plate is provided with a tape placement position 26, and a tape roller 27 is provided on one side of the mounting plate. The upper end of the mounting plate is provided with a first carton applicator roller 24 and a second carton applicator roller 25. The lower parts of the first carton applicator roller 24 and the second carton applicator roller 25 are connected by a connecting plate. The carton with its bottom sealed is conveyed to the end faces of multiple rollers through a conveyor line, thereby applicating the tape to the bottom sealing area of the carton and sealing it with tape.
[0026] The top of the feeding frame 10 is equipped with a product limiting rod 28, which has multiple adjustable limiting mechanisms. These mechanisms can be adjusted appropriately according to the different sizes of the cartons to accommodate the feeding section. Photoelectric sensors 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the end face of the conveying mechanism 5.
[0027] The robotic arm drives a specially designed fixture to pick up cartons and perform preliminary shaping. Then, the bottom is sealed. The picked-up cartons are placed on a conveyor belt (the width of the conveyor belt is adjustable to accommodate cartons of different sizes) and transported to a designated position. After the bottom is sealed by a movable plate, the tape application mechanism seals the carton.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
