Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging box handling technology, and in particular to a box clamping and handling robot. Background Technology

[0002] During the processing and use of packaging boxes, equipment is needed to clamp and transport the boxes to achieve automated production.

[0003] The clamping and lifting of the packaging box requires two different actuators. First, the first actuator drives the gripper to hold the box. Then, the second actuator drives both the first actuator and the gripper to move upwards, thus lifting the box. This structure is complex and has high maintenance costs. Especially for some processes where the required upward movement of the packaging box is small, the cost of using two actuators is too high, necessitating improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a box-clamping and handling robot for clamping and moving packaging boxes upwards, simplifying the structure and reducing operating and maintenance costs.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A box-handling robot includes: a first gripper and a second gripper arranged symmetrically. The first gripper and the second gripper each include a gripping block and a cover plate. The gripping block has a recessed groove corresponding to the end of the packaging box. The inlet of the groove is located on the inner side of the gripping block. The bottom of the groove has an upward slope extending from the inlet to the inner side. The cover plate is disposed on the gripping block.

[0007] The slot has a C-shaped cross-section.

[0008] The card slot has multiple positioning grooves that are spaced apart vertically on its side wall.

[0009] The clamping block has a first C-shaped groove at its inner bottom, and the cover plate has a second C-shaped groove located above the first C-shaped groove.

[0010] The outer end of the cover plate extends to the outside of the clamping block.

[0011] The cover plate and the clamping block are fixed by welding or screws.

[0012] It also includes an actuator, with the first gripper and the second gripper disposed on the output end of the actuator.

[0013] The actuator is either a cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A box-clamping and handling robot uses an actuator to drive the first and second grippers to clamp both ends of the packaging box. During the clamping process, the flanges at both ends of the packaging box contact the uphill surface and slide along the uphill surface, thereby moving the flanges upward and driving the packaging box upward. There is no need to add a second actuator, which simplifies the structure and reduces the operating and maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A magnified view of part A in the middle. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The following is combined Figures 1-4 The technical solution of this utility model will be further illustrated through specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1 The shown box-handling robot is used for clamping and handling packaging boxes. The packaging boxes have flanges at both ends. The robot includes an actuator 3 and a first gripper 1 and a second gripper 2 arranged symmetrically. The first gripper 1 and the second gripper 2 are located on the output end of the actuator 3. The actuator 3 drives the first gripper 1 and the second gripper 2 to clamp the two ends of the packaging box.

[0021] The actuator 3 can be one of a cylinder, an electric push rod, or other clamping drive mechanisms, such as... Figure 1 The finger cylinder in the middle can drive the first gripper 1 and the second gripper 2 to move inward synchronously to clamp the two ends of the packaging box. It can be controlled by PLC and has a high degree of automation.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first gripper 1 and the second gripper 2 each include a clamping block 11 and a cover plate 12. The clamping block 11 has a recessed slot 15 corresponding to the end of the packaging box, which can clamp and position the end of the packaging box. In this embodiment, the clamping block 11 adopts a long strip structure and can be provided with two slots 15, which can clamp two packaging boxes at the same time, improving work efficiency.

[0023] The inlet of the slot 15 is located on the inner side of the clamping block 11. During the inward movement of the clamping block 11, the flange at the end of the packaging box enters the slot 15. In this embodiment, the slot 15 has a C-shaped cross-section, which is well-suited to the C-shaped flange at the end of the packaging box.

[0024] The cover plate 12 is placed on the clamping block 11 to block the area above the slot 15, limiting the upward movement of the flange. In this embodiment, the cover plate 12 and the clamping block 11 are fixed by welding or screws, resulting in high stability. Furthermore, the outer end of the cover plate 12 extends to the outside of the clamping block 11, and the cover plate 12 is relatively wide, facilitating connection between the cover plate 12 and the actuator 3 via screws, making assembly and disassembly convenient. Weight-reducing holes are spaced on the cover plate 12 to reduce its weight.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, an upward slope 16 extending inward from the inlet is provided at the bottom of the slot 15. During the clamping process, the flanges at both ends of the packaging box contact the upward slope 16 and slide along the upward slope 16 to realize the upward movement of the flanges, thereby driving the packaging box to move upward. There is no need to add a second actuator to drive the packaging box to move upward, which simplifies the overall structure, reduces the operation and maintenance costs, and is suitable for processes that require the packaging box to move slightly upward.

[0026] Multiple positioning grooves 17 are provided recessed in the side wall of the card slot 15, spaced vertically. After the packaging box and flange move upward, the flange eventually enters the positioning groove 17 to achieve positioning, thereby improving the positional and height stability of the flange and packaging box.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner bottom of the clamping block 11 is provided with a first C-shaped groove 13, which corresponds to the outer wall below the flange at the end of the packaging box. This helps to ensure the travel of the first gripper 1 and the second gripper 2, allowing the flange to enter the slot 15 and then rise into the positioning slot 17. The cover plate 12 is provided with a second C-shaped groove 14 located above the first C-shaped groove 13, which facilitates the exposure of part of the flange and improves the visibility of subsequent operations.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
