Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard box production and processing, and in particular to a cardboard box suction cup clamp. Background Technology

[0002] During the process of conveying cartons on a conveyor line, sometimes it is necessary to use a carton gripping robot to transfer the cartons from one conveyor line to another, or to stack and palletize the cartons.

[0003] Since cardboard boxes are hollow before being filled with products, it is difficult to control the clamping force of the cardboard box gripping robot. If the clamping force is too small, the box will slip; if the clamping force is too large, the box will be deformed, resulting in damage to the cardboard box and rendering it unusable.

[0004] Patent document CN111453415A discloses a carton handling mechanism that uses suction cups to adhere and fix the carton, which can avoid wear on the carton surface and the carton slipping. However, the mechanism has a relatively complex structure and high production cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cardboard suction cup clamp that is simple in structure and has low production cost while avoiding wear and tear on the surface of the cardboard box and the phenomenon of box slippage.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A cardboard box suction cup clamp includes a mounting frame, a first suction cup, and a second suction cup. The mounting frame includes a main frame, a first support, and a second support. The main frame has a horizontal part and a vertical part, which are vertically connected and form a clamping area between them. The clamping area is used to place a cardboard box. The first support is disposed on the horizontal part and located within the clamping area. The first suction cup is mounted on the first support and is used to suction the bottom surface of the cardboard box. The second support is disposed on the vertical part and located within the clamping area. The second suction cup is mounted on the second support and is used to suction the side surface of the cardboard box.

[0008] Furthermore, the first bracket includes a first connecting frame and two second connecting frames, the first connecting frame being vertically connected to the horizontal part, and the two second connecting frames being disposed at both ends of the first connecting frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of the first suction cups is four, with two of the first suction cups installed on each of the second connecting frames.

[0010] Furthermore, the carton suction cup clamp also includes a handle, which is disposed on the vertical part and located outside the clamping area.

[0011] Furthermore, the handrail includes two grips and two connecting blocks, with the two connecting blocks respectively disposed at both ends of the vertical part, and each grip being connected to one of the two connecting blocks.

[0012] Furthermore, the second bracket has a triangular cross-sectional shape, and there are two second suction cups, which are installed at both ends of the bottom of the second bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, both the first and second suction cups are corrugated suction cups.

[0014] Furthermore, the carton suction cup clamp also includes a connecting post, which is disposed on the horizontal portion and located outside the clamping area, and is used to connect with the driving component.

[0015] Compared to existing technologies, this utility model's cardboard box suction cup clamp includes a mounting frame, a first suction cup, and a second suction cup. The mounting frame includes a main frame, a first support, and a second support. The main frame has a horizontal section and a vertical section, which are vertically connected and form a clamping area. The clamping area is used to place the cardboard box. The first support is located on the horizontal section and within the clamping area. The first suction cup is mounted on the first support and is used to suction the bottom surface of the cardboard box. The second support is located on the vertical section and within the clamping area. The second suction cup is mounted on the second support and is used to suction the side surface of the cardboard box. In use, the first suction cup suctions and fixes the top and bottom surfaces of the cardboard box, while the second suction cup suctions and fixes one side surface of the cardboard box, ensuring the cardboard box is within the clamping area and preventing wear and tear on the cardboard box surface and slippage. This application has a simple structure, is easy to use, and has low production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Figures 1-2 The present invention relates to a carton suction cup clamp, comprising a mounting frame 10, a first suction cup 20, and a second suction cup 30.

[0023] In this embodiment:

[0024] Mounting frame 10 includes main frame 11, first bracket 12, and second bracket 13.

[0025] The main frame 11 has a horizontal part 111 and a vertical part 112. The horizontal part 111 and the vertical part 112 are vertically connected and form a clamping area 113 between them. The clamping area 113 is used to place the cardboard box 60.

[0026] The first support 12 is disposed on the horizontal part 111 and located within the clamping area 113. Specifically, the first support 12 includes a first connecting frame 121 and two second connecting frames 122. The first connecting frame 121 is vertically connected to the horizontal part 111, and the two second connecting frames 122 are disposed at both ends of the first connecting frame 121.

[0027] The second support 13 is disposed on the vertical part 112 and located within the clamping area 113. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the second support 13 is triangular.

[0028] The first suction cup 20 is mounted on the first bracket 12 and is used to adsorb the bottom surface of the cardboard box 60. In this embodiment, there are four first suction cups 20, with two first suction cups 20 mounted on each second connecting frame 122.

[0029] The second suction cup 30 is mounted on the second bracket 13 and is used to adhere to the side of the cardboard box 60. In this embodiment, there are two second suction cups 30, which are mounted at both ends of the bottom of the second bracket 13. Both the first suction cup 20 and the second suction cup 30 are corrugated suction cups, which have greater suction force and better adsorption and fixation effect.

[0030] The handrail 40 is disposed on the vertical part 112 and located outside the clamping area 113. The handrail 40 includes two grippers 41 and two connecting blocks 42.
