Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a carton storage mechanism, specifically a storage mechanism for a carton opener. Background Technology
[0002] Cardboard boxes are a common packaging product, primarily made of paper, used for protecting and transporting goods. Depending on the materials used, cardboard boxes can be categorized into corrugated cardboard boxes and single-layer cardboard boxes, among others. In the cardboard box manufacturing process, the material storage mechanism plays a crucial role, reducing the tedious steps of manual material loading, improving production efficiency, and saving manpower.
[0003] Currently, the loading of cardboard boxes is usually done manually. Several stacked boxes need to be manually fed onto a trolley-like tool, which then transports the cart and all the boxes to the receiving end of a storage mechanism. The existing storage mechanism is complex and poorly designed. Furthermore, the storage mechanism requires a limiting structure for the boxes, but the current limiting structure cannot be adjusted according to different box sizes; it can only limit boxes of one size, resulting in low practicality. Therefore, the inventor designed a storage mechanism for a carton opener. Utility Model Content

The output end of the pushing motor is connected to the first main sprocket. Both the first main sprocket and the first driven sprocket are rotatably connected to the baffle plate. Therefore, both the first main sprocket and the first driven sprocket maintain structural stability and can operate stably.

The output end of the limiting motor is connected to the second main sprocket. Both the second main sprocket and the second driven sprocket are rotatably connected to the second crossbeam plate. A slide plate is provided on the second chain, and the second chain and the slide plate run synchronously. The slide plate is slidably installed on the second slide rail, and a limiting plate is fixed on the slide plate. The limiting plate is L-shaped and is used to abut and limit the end of the carton away from the push plate.
[0006] Preferably, the length direction of the first crossbeam is parallel to the length direction of the baffle, the length direction of the baffle is perpendicular to the length direction of the second crossbeam, and the two ends of the second crossbeam are fixed to the outer frame and the baffle, respectively.
[0007] Preferably, the frame also includes a horizontally arranged reinforcing plate, with both ends of the reinforcing plate fixed to the outer frame and the baffle respectively.

[0030] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 In the operation of this utility model, several vertically arranged and stacked cardboard boxes are first placed on one side of the push plate 27. The position of the push plate 27 at this time can be referred to Figure 2 The cardboard box is positioned between the push plate 27 and the pusher motor 21. One end of the cardboard box is restricted by the fixed plate 28, and the other end is restricted by the push plate 27, thus keeping the cardboard box stable. Driving the pusher motor 21 drives the first main sprocket 22 to rotate, causing the first chain 24 to drive the first driven sprocket 23 to rotate, which in turn causes the slider 25 to move horizontally on the first slide rail 26. This allows the push plate 27 to push all the cardboard boxes toward the side where the pusher motor 21 is located, achieving automatic feeding. If cardboard boxes of different sizes need to be fed, the limit motor 31 needs to be driven to rotate, causing the second main sprocket 32 to rotate, which in turn causes the second chain 34 to drive the second driven sprocket 33 to rotate. The slide plate 35 moves horizontally on the second slide rail 36, causing the slide plate 35 to move the limit plate 37 horizontally, changing the distance between the limit plate 37 and the fixed plate 28, thereby adapting to the limit of different sized cardboard boxes and ensuring that cardboard boxes of different sizes can remain stable during feeding.
