[0002] In the packaging industry, the efficient and stable operation of packaging machine production lines is crucial for improving production efficiency and product quality. Because the lengths of the products produced by the production line vary, the required cardboard box lengths include 300mm, 400mm, and 500mm, among others. Existing cardboard box feeding mechanisms are difficult to flexibly adapt to different cardboard box lengths, leading to frequent equipment adjustments when changing box specifications. This not only increases operational difficulty and time costs but also easily affects the feeding accuracy of the cardboard boxes due to improper adjustments.

[0003] Meanwhile, cardboard boxes vary in height, and existing cardboard box feeding mechanisms lack good compatibility in the height direction. This makes it easy for cardboard boxes of different heights to jam or fall, reducing the stability and reliability of the production line.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies to overcome their shortcomings. Utility Model Content

Example

[0044] See Figures 1-6 As shown, a cardboard box feeding device is designed to efficiently and accurately clamp and feed cardboard boxes of different sizes. The device mainly consists of three parts: a platform 1, a clamping mechanism 2, and a drive mechanism 3. These parts work together to ensure a smooth and stable feeding process.

[0045] Platform 1 serves as the basic support for the entire device, on which clamping mechanism 2 and drive mechanism 3 are arranged. The drive mechanism 3 is distributed on both sides of clamping mechanism 2 and is used to drive clamping mechanism 2 to move along the Y-axis.

[0046] The clamping mechanism 2 is the core part of the device, including a support plate 201. The support plate 201 is equipped with an adjustment component 21 driven by a screw. The adjustment component 21 has two sliders, a first slider 211 and a second slider 212, that move in opposite directions or in opposite directions along the X-axis. This movement mode allows the clamping plate 203 to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual size of the cardboard box to achieve the best clamping effect.

[0047] The first slider 211 and the second slider 212 are each independently provided with a support component 22. These support components not only provide stable support for the clamping plate 203, but also, through their structural design, form a perfect match with the clamping plate 203 driven by the cylinder 202. One end of the clamping plate 203 protrudes outward, forming a clamping part specifically for clamping the paper box, to ensure stable and reliable clamping.

[0048] In addition, to further enhance the stability of clamping, a guide component 23 is also provided on both support components 22. This guide component precisely guides and limits the movement trajectory of the clamping plate 203, effectively preventing deviation and shaking during the clamping process, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the carton during feeding.

[0049] This cardboard box feeding device, through its unique structural design and advanced technology, achieves efficient and precise clamping and feeding of cardboard boxes of different sizes. It not only improves production efficiency but also reduces the risk of cardboard box damage caused by unstable clamping, bringing significant economic benefits to the cardboard box processing industry.

[0050] The adjusting assembly 21, as a key component of the clamping mechanism 2, provides strong assurance for the precise clamping of the cardboard box. Specifically, the adjusting assembly 21 includes an adjusting shaft 213, which is fixed to the support plate 201 via a bearing seat. One end of the adjusting shaft 213 is connected to a handwheel 214, allowing the operator to drive the adjusting shaft to rotate by turning the handwheel. A locking element is provided on the bearing seat near the handwheel 214 to fix or release the adjusting shaft 213.

[0051] The adjusting shaft 213 is symmetrically arranged with a first guide sleeve 215 and a second guide sleeve 216 about its centerline. The outer surfaces of these two guide sleeves are respectively machined with a first thread and a second thread in opposite directions. This design allows the nuts on both guide sleeves to move in opposite directions simultaneously when the adjusting shaft rotates. Specifically, a first nut is threaded onto the first guide sleeve 215, and a first slider 211 is mounted on the first nut; correspondingly, a second nut is threaded onto the second guide sleeve 216, and a second slider 212 is mounted on the second nut, thereby enabling the synchronous movement of the first slider 211 and the second slider 212 in opposite directions.

[0052] To ensure the stability and accuracy of the first slider 211 and the second slider 212 during movement, a limiter 218 is also provided on the support plate 201. The limiter is located in the middle of the first guide sleeve 215 and the second guide sleeve 216, which effectively limits the movement range of the two sliders.

[0053] In addition, guide posts 217 are provided on both sides of the adjusting shaft, and the first slider 211 and the second slider 212 are slidably mounted on these guide posts. The design of the guide posts not only provides additional support and guidance for the sliders, but also further enhances the structural rigidity and motion accuracy of the entire adjusting assembly, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the paper box clamping operation.

[0054] In this embodiment, the support assembly 22 on the first slider 211 or the second slider 212 has the same structure. This design not only simplifies the manufacturing process but also improves the interchangeability and versatility of the components. Specifically, the support assembly 22 includes a main support plate 221 fixed on the first slider 211 or the second slider 212, which provides a stable foundation for the entire support assembly. A side support plate 222 perpendicular to the main support plate 221 is provided, forming an "L" shape with the main support plate 221. This structure not only enhances the overall rigidity of the support assembly but also cleverly forms an installation area for placing the cylinder 202. The cylinder 202 is securely installed in this area, and its telescopic movement drives the clamping plate 203 to perform clamping or releasing operations.

[0055] The guide assembly 23 in the clamping mechanism 2 is used to ensure the stability and accuracy of the clamping plate 203 during the clamping process. Specifically, the guide assembly 23 is composed of a first guide member 231, a second guide member 232, a third guide member 233, and a fourth guide member 234. These guide members work together to provide reliable guidance and limiting for the clamping plate 203.

[0056] The first guide member 231 and the second guide member 232 are disposed on the side support plate on one side of the first slider 211. They are arranged side by side to form two parallel guide grooves 235. These two guide grooves not only provide a clear path for the movement of the clamping plate 203, but also ensure the stability and accuracy of the clamping plate during the movement process through their precise dimensions and shapes.

[0057] Correspondingly, the third guide member 233 and the fourth guide member 234 are disposed on the side support plate on one side of the second slider 212. Their design allows them to be smoothly inserted into the guide groove 235 formed by the first guide member and the second guide member. This insertion structure not only enhances the overall rigidity of the guide assembly, but also further improves the stability of the clamping plate 203 during the clamping process through the tight fit between the guide members.

[0058] It is worth mentioning that the outer side of the third guide member 233 is also provided with a first limiting end 2331, which can abut against the first guide member 231, thereby limiting the excessive movement of the clamping plate 203 in the X-axis direction. Similarly, the outer side of the fourth guide member 234 is also provided with a second limiting end 2341, which abuts against the second guide member 232, providing limiting protection for the clamping plate 203 in another direction. The design of these limiting ends not only enhances the safety of the guide assembly, but also ensures the accuracy of the clamping operation.

[0059] The drive mechanism 3, as the power component of the paper box feeding device, provides stable and synchronous Y-axis movement power for the clamping mechanism 2. Specifically, the drive mechanism 3 includes synchronous belt drive units 31 and 32 distributed on both sides of the clamping mechanism 2, and a drive unit 33 located below the platform 1 for synchronously driving these two synchronous belt drive units 31 and 32. The two synchronous belt drive units 31 and 32 have the same structure. For ease of description, synchronous belt drive unit 31 will be used as an example for the following description.

[0060] The synchronous belt drive unit 31 mainly consists of a synchronous belt bracket 311, a first synchronous pulley 312, and a first synchronous belt 313. At least two synchronous belt brackets 311 are provided on the platform 1, and the first synchronous pulleys are pivotally mounted on the same side of these two synchronous belt brackets. The first synchronous belt 313 is wound between the two first synchronous pulleys 312, forming a stable transmission path.

[0061] The drive unit 33 includes a pair of synchronous shaft supports 331, a synchronous shaft 332, a second synchronous pulley 333, and a second synchronous belt 334. The synchronous shaft supports 331 are fixed below the platform 1, and the synchronous shaft 332 is mounted between the two synchronous shaft supports 331 via bearing seats. Second synchronous pulleys 333 are mounted at both ends of the synchronous shaft 332, and each second synchronous pulley 333 is connected to a first synchronous pulley 312 on one side via a second synchronous belt 334 (this first synchronous pulley is a dual-position synchronous pulley, capable of simultaneously driving two synchronous belts). Therefore, the first synchronous belt 313 and the second synchronous belt 334 are driven by this first synchronous pulley, enabling the drive unit 33 to drive the first synchronous belt 313. Simultaneously, through the linkage of the synchronous shaft 332, the first synchronous belts on the two synchronous belt drive units 31 and 32 move synchronously.

[0062] To enable the rotation of the synchronous shaft 332, a drive motor 335 is also installed below the platform 1. The drive motor 335 is connected to the synchronous shaft 332 through a transmission device. When the drive motor 335 is working, it can drive the synchronous shaft 332 to rotate. In addition, to ensure the stability of the clamping mechanism 2 during movement, a linear slide rail 336 is also provided on the platform 1 where the inner side of the first synchronous belt 313 is located. The slider on the linear slide rail 336 is connected to the first synchronous belt 313 and the clamping mechanism 2 through connecting plates, and then the clamping mechanism 2 is driven to move along the Y-axis direction through the second synchronous belt 334 and the first synchronous belt 313.

[0063] Furthermore, a gear guide assembly 34 is provided on the inner side of the first synchronous belt 313. This design further enhances the accuracy and stability of the clamping mechanism 2's movement in the Y-axis direction. The gear guide assembly 34 is mainly composed of a rack and a gear, which work together to provide reliable guidance and transmission for the clamping mechanism 2.

[0064] Specifically, there are two racks. One rack is firmly mounted on platform 1 as a fixed reference, while the other rack is mounted on clamping mechanism 2 and moves with it. The two racks are parallel to each other and their tooth surfaces face the same direction, providing good conditions for gear meshing and transmission.

[0065] The gear is cleverly positioned between two racks and meshes tightly with them. The gear is securely mounted on platform 1 via a gear mounting bracket. When the clamping mechanism 2 moves along the Y-axis, the gear rotates under the guidance of the racks. This rotational motion not only ensures the smoothness of the clamping mechanism's movement but also, through the meshing relationship between the gear and racks, controls the movement accuracy within a very small range.

[0066] The paper box feeding device provided by this utility model is a component of the packaging machine equipment. It is closely integrated with other parts of the packaging machine equipment and shares the control system, power supply system, air supply system, etc. of the packaging machine equipment. Through a unified interface and operation instructions, it realizes the coordinated operation of each link and achieves automated production.

[0067] Through the operation of the drive mechanism 3, the clamping mechanism 2 can move smoothly as a whole along the Y-axis. This design gives the clamping mechanism 2 flexible positioning capabilities on the platform 1, allowing its position on the Y-axis to be adjusted according to actual production needs. Inside the clamping mechanism 2, the adjustment component 21 plays a crucial role, enabling the first slider 211 and the second slider 212 to move towards or away from each other along the X-axis. This movement allows the distance between the clamping plates 203 to be flexibly adjusted according to the size of different product specifications, thus achieving free movement of the clamping plates 203 along the X and Y axes. This multi-dimensional movement capability allows the clamping plates 203 to accurately adapt to the clamping and feeding operations of various product specifications. At the same time, the presence of the guide component 23 further enhances the stability of the clamping plates 203 during the clamping process, ensuring the safety and reliability of the product during feeding.
