Detailed Implementation
[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a paper box sorting and bagging mechanism is used to bag paper boxes in layers. It includes a support 1, which is welded together from multiple transverse square steel pipes and longitudinal square steel pipes.
[0024] The support 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 2. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 2 is an open ball screw linear module driven by a stepper motor, but it is not limited to this. Any lifting device or mechanism that can achieve the same function in the prior art, such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod, can be used in this utility model. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 2 supports a storage tank 3, which has multiple layers of storage channels. The storage tank 3 is fixedly connected to the slider of the linear module through a transition plate 8.
[0025] The storage tank 3 is a trough-shaped structure with two open ends and an open top. Two corresponding strip-shaped protrusions 10 are fixedly installed on its two opposite side walls. The aforementioned multi-layered storage channels are divided by these protrusions 10, and the length and height of each layer are adapted to the length and height of the cardboard box. The inner wall surface of the storage tank 3 forming the storage channels and the surface of the protrusions 10 are required to be flat and smooth to ensure that no cardboard box deformation or damage occurs due to jamming during the process of entering the storage tank 3 from the material handling unit 4 and loading the packaging bag or box from the storage tank 3.
[0026] The aforementioned material handling unit 4 is fixedly mounted on the support 1. The material handling unit 4 cooperates with the storage tank 3, and an infrared beam detector 5 is installed on the material handling unit 4. Specifically, the material handling unit 4 includes material handling plates 41 fixedly connected to both sides of the support and arranged symmetrically. The distance between the two material handling plates 41 is slightly less than the length of the cardboard box, which applies a small clamping force to the cardboard box, allowing the cardboard boxes conveyed by the previous process's cardboard box conveying device to be tightly arranged on the two material handling plates 41. The transmitter and receiver of the infrared beam detector 5 are fixedly mounted at corresponding positions on the two material handling plates 41. The detection signal from the infrared beam detector 5 is used to activate the feeding unit 6 mounted on the support 1. The feeding unit 6 includes... A drive motor is fixedly mounted on a support, and two rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the support via bearing seats. Each rotating shaft has two fixed pulleys, and a conveyor belt is provided between the corresponding pulleys on the two rotating shafts. A concave feeding plate 61 is fixedly connected between the two conveyor belts. The feeding unit 6 cooperates with the lifting mechanism 2 to load the cardboard boxes on the sorting unit 4 into the storage channel layer by layer. When each layer in the multi-layer storage channel is filled with a predetermined number of cardboard boxes, the pushing unit 7 located below the feeding unit 5 will push all the cardboard boxes in the storage trough 3 into the packaging bag that has been pre-fitted around the storage trough 3. The pushing unit 7 is a cylinder fixedly connected to the support 1, and an H-shaped pushing frame is fixedly mounted on the output end of the cylinder.
[0027] In this embodiment, in order to make the lifting and lowering of the storage tank 3 more stable, guide columns 9 are also fixedly installed on both sides of the bracket 1, and the guide columns 9 are slidably connected to both sides of the storage tank 3.
[0028] In this embodiment, a gantry 42 is fixedly provided between the two sorting plates 41. An elastic pressure strip 43 for facilitating the entry of the cardboard box into the storage channel is fixedly connected to the gantry 42. The vertical height of the elastic pressure strip 43 from the sorting plate 41 should be consistent with the height of each storage unit.
[0029] In this embodiment, two symmetrical brackets 11 are fixedly installed on the support 1 next to the feeding unit 6. The brackets 11 are used to connect the feeding unit 6 with the carton conveying device of the previous process.
[0030] The control section of this utility model uses a PLC programmable controller, but it is not limited to this; a microcontroller or other types of controllers can also be used. The PLC programmable controller needs to communicate with the infrared beam detector 5, the stepper motor of the lifting mechanism 2, the drive motor of the feeding unit 6, and the cylinder of the pushing unit 7. The working principle and process of this utility model are briefly described below.
[0031] The previous process's cardboard box conveying device feeds cardboard boxes one by one into the two sorting plates 41 of the sorting unit 4 via the bracket 11. The rear cardboard boxes push the front cardboard boxes to arrange themselves sequentially between the sorting plates 41 until the foremost cardboard box blocks the light from the infrared beam detector 5. At this point, the PLC programmable controller controls the drive motor of the feeding unit 6 to rotate, and the concave pusher plate 61 on the conveyor belt pushes the cardboard box into the lowest storage channel of the storage trough 3. Then, the lifting mechanism 2 lowers the storage trough 3 to a certain height, and the second layer of storage channels is filled in the same manner. Each time the lifting mechanism 2 lowers, it fills one storage channel, until all storage channels are filled. At this point, the PLC programmable controller controls the cylinder of the pushing unit 7 to move, using the H-shaped pusher at the cylinder input end to push all the cardboard boxes into the packaging bag fitted outside the storage trough 3. Next, the PLC programmable controller controls the cylinder and lifting mechanism 2 to reset, starting the next cycle.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any equivalent substitutions and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the guidance of the present utility model shall be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
