Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging equipment technology, and in particular relates to a robotic arm for packaging on a production line. Background Technology

[0002] Case packing machines are mainly used to pack various products into packaging containers such as cardboard boxes, wooden boxes, and plastic boxes in an orderly manner, and can perform corresponding subsequent operations such as sealing the boxes as needed. The aim is to realize the automation and efficiency of the product packaging process, and ensure that the products can be packaged neatly and securely for easy transportation, storage and sales.

[0003] However, the existing IBT type carton packing machine can only use square cartons of a specified size to automatically pack barrelled edible oil products. If the carton size is increased, the packing work will not be possible, and it will not be able to automatically pack cartons of various sizes. Therefore, after changing the carton, manual packing will be required, which increases labor costs, and the labor intensity of workers is high and the work efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that existing IBT type carton packers cannot handle carton packing for various sizes, a robotic arm for production line packaging is proposed.

[0005] The technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0006] A robotic arm for packaging on a production line includes a support frame, an mounting plate fixed to the upper end of the support frame by clamps, a fixed plate at one end of the side of the mounting plate, and a movable moving plate at the other end of the side of the mounting plate; a secondary cylinder is mounted on the surface of the fixed plate, a primary cylinder is mounted on the surface of the moving plate, and a push plate is located on the surface of the moving plate near the fixed plate; the piston rod of the secondary cylinder is connected to the push plate.

[0007] The piston rod of the first-stage cylinder is connected to the moving block. A lifting cylinder is installed on the outside of the moving block. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the gripper frame below. A clamping cylinder is installed at the upper end of the gripper frame. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder is connected to the gripper inside the gripper frame. The opening and closing of the gripper can be controlled by extending and retracting the clamping cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, a T-shaped slot is formed on the surface of the movable plate that contacts the mounting plate, and a T-shaped slide rail is provided on the surface of the mounting plate. Through the cooperation between the slot and the slide rail, the movable plate can slide smoothly.

[0009] Furthermore, a guide rod is provided on the side of the moving block facing the mounting plate. The guide rod passes through the inside of the guide sleeve provided in the mounting plate to ensure that the moving block remains stable during sliding.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This new invention, through the precise cooperation of the T-shaped slide rail and the slot, ensures the smooth sliding of the moving plate when the secondary cylinder is activated. While increasing the clamping range, it also improves the installation strength of the primary cylinder, preventing displacement of the cylinder body when clamping goods and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the clamping action.

[0012] This utility model, through the linkage design of the primary and secondary cylinders, allows for the selection of single cylinder extension or simultaneous extension of both cylinders depending on the size of the carton. It also allows for flexible adjustment of the gripper position, ensuring that the gripper can be moved to any position on the carton, thus meeting the packaging needs of cartons of different sizes.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] As attached Figure 1 -As shown.

[0022] A robotic arm for packaging on a production line includes a support frame 1. A mounting plate 2 is fixed to the upper end of the support frame 1 by a clamp 3. A fixed plate 4 is provided at one end of the side of the mounting plate 2, and a movable moving plate 5 is provided at the other end of the side of the mounting plate 2. Specifically, a T-shaped groove is formed on the surface of the moving plate 5 that contacts the mounting plate 2, and a T-shaped slide rail 22 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 2. The smooth sliding of the moving plate 5 is achieved through the cooperation between the groove and the slide rail.

[0023] A secondary cylinder 7 is installed on the surface of the fixed plate 4, a primary cylinder 6 is installed on the surface of the movable plate 5, and a push plate 51 is provided on the surface of the movable plate 5 at one end close to the fixed plate 4. The piston rod in the secondary cylinder 7 is connected to the push plate 51.

[0024] Furthermore, the piston rod of the first-stage cylinder 6 is connected to the moving block 8. A lifting cylinder 9 is installed on the outside of the moving block 8. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 9 is connected to the gripper frame 10 below. A clamping cylinder 11 is installed at the upper end of the gripper frame 10. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder 11 is connected to the gripper inside the gripper frame 10. The opening and closing of the gripper can be controlled by the extension and retraction of the clamping cylinder 11, so as to realize the clamping and release of the item.

[0025] Furthermore, a guide rod 81 is provided on the side of the movable block 8 facing the mounting plate 2. The guide rod 81 passes through the inside of the guide sleeve 21 provided in the mounting plate 2 to ensure that the movable block 8 remains stable during sliding.

[0026] The working principle of this device is as follows: the entire device is fixed in the required position by the support frame 1. Depending on the size of the carton, the extension and retraction of the first-stage cylinder 6 and the second-stage cylinder 7 can be controlled individually or together. When the second-stage cylinder 7 extends and retracts, the moving plate 5 moves synchronously with the first-stage cylinder 6, which increases the clamping range while ensuring the stability of the first-stage cylinder 6.

[0027] Before use, the program can be programmed according to the size of the carton. During packing, simply select the corresponding program to enable the linkage of the first and second stage cylinders, thereby precisely adjusting the gripper position and ensuring that the gripper can be moved to any position on the carton. This makes it suitable for the packaging needs of cartons of different sizes, improving packing efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and lowering the intensity of manual labor.

[0028] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
