Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of cartoning machines, and particularly relates to a material transfer device for cartoning machines. Background Technology

[0002] Cartoning machines, as core equipment in automated packaging production lines, are widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, and daily chemical products. Their core task is to accurately transfer materials into cartons and complete the sealing. However, in actual production, issues arise due to variations in carton specifications, conveyor belt mechanical errors, production line speed fluctuations, or discrepancies between the material spacing on the material conveyor belt and the target carton spacing on the target carton conveyor belt. Traditional transfer devices often employ rigidly connected fixed suction cup structures, whose suction cup spacing cannot be dynamically adjusted. This leads to misalignment between the material gripped and the carton, especially at high speeds, making it difficult for materials to accurately fall into the corresponding carton, resulting in a surge in empty carton rates. This not only wastes packaging materials and increases quality control costs but also severely restricts production line efficiency due to frequent shutdowns for adjustments. Therefore, it is necessary to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a material transfer device for a cartoning machine to solve the technical problem of low material transfer efficiency in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a material transfer device for a cartoning machine, comprising:

[0005] The base is used to connect to the target cartoning machine;

[0006] A robotic arm, attached to the base, has an output shaft capable of moving and rotating in space;

[0007] Two substrates are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the output shaft and connected to the output shaft, and can move and rotate with the output shaft.

[0008] A suction cup assembly includes a fixed suction cup base and a sliding suction cup base that are spaced apart and connected on the same side of the substrate. The sliding suction cup base is slidably connected to the substrate and is used to move closer to or away from the fixed suction cup base.

[0009] Suction cups, several of which are connected to the fixed suction cup base and the sliding suction cup base respectively, are used to pick up target material from the target raw material conveyor belt and transfer it to the target cardboard box conveyed on the target cardboard box conveyor belt;

[0010] A cylinder is connected to the base plate. The sliding suction cup seat is connected to the power end of the cylinder and can be driven by the cylinder. The power output direction of the cylinder is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding suction cup seat.

[0011] Optionally, the sliding suction cup seat is arranged on both sides of the fixed suction cup seat along its own sliding direction, and two sets of cylinders are arranged corresponding to the sliding suction cup seat, with the output directions of the two sets of cylinders being parallel to each other.

[0012] Optionally, linear guides are formed on the substrate;

[0013] The sliding suction cup base is slidably connected to the substrate via the linear guide.

[0014] Optionally, the sliding suction cup seat is hinged to the power end of the cylinder, and the sliding suction cup seat is perpendicular to the linear guide relative to the rotation center axis of the cylinder.

[0015] Optionally, the cylinder and the sliding suction cup seat are distributed on opposite sides of the substrate, and the substrate is provided with a slot for the sliding suction cup seat to connect to the cylinder.

[0016] Optionally, the two sets of cylinders are arranged in opposite directions side by side.

[0017] Optionally, the material transfer device for the cartoning machine further includes a rotating arm and a connecting seat connected to the rotating arm;

[0018] The two substrates are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating arm and connected to the output shaft through the rotating arm and the connecting seat.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the material transfer device for a cartoning machine provided in this application are as follows: Compared with the prior art, in the material transfer device for a cartoning machine provided in this application, the base plate connected to the robotic arm can drive the suction cup seat assembly to rotate and move in space under the drive of the robotic arm. In this way, the suction cups connected to the fixed suction cup seat and the sliding suction cup seat can easily pick up the target material from the target raw material conveyor belt and transfer it to the target carton conveyed on the target carton conveyor belt. Since the sliding suction cup seat is connected to the power end of the cylinder and can be driven by the cylinder, and since the power output direction of the cylinder is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding suction cup seat, the cylinder can easily drive the sliding suction cup seat to move closer to or away from the fixed suction cup seat. Thus, after the suction cup picks up the target material, the cylinder can adjust the distance between the sliding suction cup seat and the fixed suction cup seat to make the distance between the target material picked up by the suction cup match the distance between the target carton, thereby enabling the material transfer device for a cartoning machine in this application to have a higher material transfer efficiency, which is far superior to the prior art.

[0030] The base 101 is used to connect to the target cartoning machine; the robotic arm 102 is connected to the base 101 and has an output shaft 103 that can move and rotate in space; two substrates 104 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the output shaft 103 and are connected to the output shaft 103 and can move and rotate with the output shaft 103; the suction cup assembly includes a fixed suction cup 105 and a sliding suction cup 106 that are spaced apart and connected to the same side of the substrate 104, the sliding suction cup 106 being slidably connected to the substrate 104 and used to move closer to or away from it. A fixed suction cup base 105 is provided; several suction cups 107 are respectively connected to the fixed suction cup base 105 and the sliding suction cup base 106, and are used to pick up target material 202 from the target raw material conveyor belt 201 and transfer it to the target paper box 204 conveyed on the target paper box 204 conveyor belt 203; a cylinder 108 is connected to the base plate 104, and the sliding suction cup base 106 is connected to the power end of the cylinder 108 and can be driven by the cylinder 108. The power output direction of the cylinder 108 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding suction cup base 106. In this embodiment, the robotic arm 102 can be a commonly used industrial robotic arm in the art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0031] According to the structure provided in this embodiment, in the material transfer device for the cartoning machine provided in this embodiment, the base plate 104 connected to the robotic arm 102 can drive the suction cup seat assembly to rotate and move in space under the drive of the robotic arm 102. In this way, the suction cups 107 connected to the fixed suction cup seat 105 and the sliding suction cup seat 106 can conveniently pick up the target material 202 from the target raw material conveyor belt 201 and transfer it to the target paper box 204 conveyed on the target paper box 204 conveyor belt 203. At the same time as the target material 202 is released to the target paper box 204, another set of suction cups 107 located above the target raw material conveyor belt 201 can pick up the target material 202, resulting in high material transfer efficiency. Since the sliding suction cup seat 106 is connected to the power end of the cylinder 108 and can be driven by the cylinder 108, and since the power output direction of the cylinder 108 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding suction cup seat 106, the cylinder 108 can easily drive the sliding suction cup seat 106 to move closer to or away from the fixed suction cup seat 105.
