Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging box processing technology, and more specifically, to a packaging box transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] In the packaging box processing, horizontally conveyed boxes often need to be adjusted to an upright position manually or mechanically. Traditional manual flipping is inefficient and easily causes creases in the boxes, while mechanical grippers, although enabling automated operation, can easily scratch the surface coating of the boxes due to uneven contact pressure, especially causing significant damage to finely printed boxes. Existing flipping equipment mostly relies on complex linkage mechanisms, which not only occupy a lot of space and are difficult to maintain, but also often cause the boxes to shift position due to delayed vacuum release during adsorption and transfer, affecting the accuracy of subsequent processing.
[0003] Currently, automated production lines generally face the challenge of balancing flexible flipping and non-destructive clamping. Conventional adsorption devices are prone to causing packaging boxes to bounce back due to residual negative pressure during the detachment process, while pneumatic clamping mechanisms suffer from inaccurate force control. How to achieve rapid posture transformation and precise positioning while ensuring the integrity of the packaging box's appearance has become a key technical bottleneck restricting the upgrading of packaging automation. Therefore, in response to the above technical problems, a packaging box transfer device is proposed here. Utility Model Content

By driving a conveyor belt and rotating shaft with a motor, and combining the synergistic effect of lead screw sliding and air pump adsorption and release, the packaging box is automatically flipped and stood up. At the same time, the adsorption depth is adjusted by an electric push rod, and the hollow mounting plate and array of suction cups form a uniform pressure adsorption surface. The air pump provides quantitative inflation for precise release, which solves the problem of traditionally clamping fragile packaging boxes. No manual intervention is required throughout the process, improving the efficiency of posture conversion.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention proposes a packaging box transfer device, including a first fixed seat 1 and a second fixed seat 2. A conveyor belt 3 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the first fixed seat 1 and the second fixed seat 2. A connecting seat 5 is fixedly connected between the outer sides of the first fixed seat 1 and the second fixed seat 2. A translation mechanism is installed on the outer side of the connecting seat 5. A slide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the translation mechanism. A rotating mechanism is installed on the upper side of the slide plate 10. A rotating plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating mechanism.

An air jet release mechanism is installed on the other side of the rotating plate 14.
[0025] Both the first fixed base 1 and the second fixed base 2 are fixedly connected to the outside of the first motor 4, and the first motor 4 can provide power for the rotation of the conveyor belt 3. The first motor 4 drives the conveyor belt 3 through the synchronous belt to realize the horizontal transport of the packaging box.
[0026] The translation mechanism includes a slide 6, a second motor 7, a lead screw 8, and a slider 9. The slide 6 is located outside the connecting seat 5. The second motor 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting seat 5. The lead screw 8 is fixedly connected to the second motor 7 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the slide 6. The slider 9 is limited and slidably connected to the inside of the slide 6, and the slider 9 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 8. The slide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the slider 9. The second motor 7 drives the lead screw 8 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 9 to achieve the lateral movement of the slide plate 10.
[0027] The rotating mechanism includes a vertical plate 11, a third motor 12, and a rotating shaft 13. The vertical plate 11 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the slide plate 10, and there are two sets of vertical plates 11 arranged symmetrically. The third motor 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of one set of vertical plates 11. The rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected between the two sets of vertical plates 11, and the rotating shaft 13 and the third motor 12 are fixedly connected. The rotating plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 13. The third motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to achieve a 90-degree rotation of the rotating plate 14.
[0028] There are two sets of electric push rods 15 arranged vertically. The electric push rods 15 adjust the contact distance between the suction cup 17 and the packaging box through telescopic movement.
[0029] The adsorption mechanism includes a mounting plate 16 and suction cups 17. The mounting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the electric push rod 15, and the suction cups 17 are fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting plate 16. The number of suction cups 17 is several groups arranged in an array. The mounting plate 16 has a hollow structure, and the suction cups 17 are connected to the internal space of the mounting plate 16. The suction cups 17 achieve stable gripping of the packaging box through negative pressure adsorption.
[0030] The jet release mechanism includes an air pump 18 and an air guide pipe 19. The air pump 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating plate 14, and the air guide pipe 19 is fixedly connected between the air pump 18 and the mounting plate 16. The air guide pipe 19 connects the internal space of the air pump 18 and the mounting plate 16. The air pump 18 can be a MYP030 micro air pump. The air guide pipe 19 inflates the mounting plate 16 to achieve the smooth release of the packaging box.
[0031] The working principle of a packaging box transfer device based on an embodiment is as follows: when a horizontally placed packaging box needs to be flipped and upright, the first motor 4 drives the conveyor belt 3 to move, transporting the horizontally placed packaging box to the connection end of the first fixed seat 1 and the second fixed seat 2. At this time, the first motor 4 is stopped, and the third motor 12 is started to drive the rotating shaft 13 to rotate 90°, so that the rotating plate 14 fixed to the rotating shaft 13 and the electric push rod 15 at its end rotate synchronously, so that the suction cup 17 on the mounting plate 16 is precisely aligned with the upper surface of the packaging box. Then, the electric push rod 15 extends to push the suction cup 17 to contact the packaging box, and a negative pressure adsorption is formed by continuous pressure to achieve a stable grip.
[0032] After adsorption is complete, the second motor 7 drives the lead screw 8 to rotate, causing the slider 9 to slide laterally along the slide groove 6, so that the slide plate 10 and its upper structure are moved horizontally to the conveyor belt 3 above the second fixed seat 2. At this time, the third motor 12 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the rotating plate 14 to rotate 90° in the opposite direction through the rotating shaft 13, turning the horizontal packaging box vertically into an upright state. When it is necessary to release the packaging box, the air pump 18 injects gas into the mounting plate 16 through the air guide pipe 19 to eliminate the vacuum state inside the suction cup 17, achieving precise detachment without damage. Finally, the first motor 4 is restarted to drive the conveyor belt 3 to transport the upright packaging box to the next processing station.
[0033] This device achieves automated adjustment of the packaging box's posture through multi-motor coordinated control, combined with a linkage mechanism of translation, rotation, and pneumatic adsorption. The slide 6 and lead screw 8 form a precision guiding system to ensure smooth translation. The hollow mounting plate 16 and the array of suction cups 17 form a uniform pressure adsorption surface. With the quantitative inflation control of the air pump 18, it effectively solves the technical problem of traditional mechanical clamping easily damaging the surface of the packaging box. The entire set of actions is smoothly connected, significantly improving the efficiency of packaging box state transition and reducing the positioning error and labor intensity of manual operation.
