Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packing technology, and in particular to a stacking and separating mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] When packing goods, it is necessary to separate the vertically stacked boxes one by one before loading goods into empty boxes. The common practice is to place the stacked empty boxes on the upper side of the box-separating mechanism and use a support mechanism to suspend the boxes. At the same time, the box-separating mechanism is used to separate the stacked empty boxes individually. This structure is relatively complex and costly. Now, a simple solution is needed to support the stacked empty boxes and separate individual empty boxes. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a stacked box separation mechanism to address the above-mentioned technical deficiencies. The mechanism employs a box-supporting part on the surface of a box-separating column on both sides of the stacked empty boxes, which cooperates with the separation part. The two sides of the stacked empty boxes are located on the upper side of the separation part. By rotating the box-separating column, the stacked empty boxes rotate and fall, with the bottom empty box falling onto the box-supporting part. At this time, the head of the separation part is located at the interval between the bottom empty box and the multiple empty boxes on the upper side. By rotating the box-separating column, the head of the separation part enters this interval. With further rotation, the bottom side of the lower empty box is separated from the box-supporting part and suspended in the air, while the upper side is pushed out by the separation part, thus separating the interlocking of the empty boxes formed by stacking.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: it includes dividing columns arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the stacked boxes; and a dividing drive mechanism that drives the dividing columns to rotate; the dividing columns are arranged along the stacking direction of the boxes; the dividing columns have a box-supporting part and a separating part circumferentially arranged on their protruding outer surfaces, and the separating part is arranged to gradually expand along the rotation direction towards the stacking direction of the boxes; the separating part has a head and a tail with a gradually increasing thickness along the axial direction; the box-supporting part is arranged lower than the head of the separating part.

[0005] To further optimize this technical solution, the frame box section is positioned below the upper surface of the tail section of the separation section.

[0006] To further optimize this technical solution, the separation section is expanded on both sides along the stacking direction of the boxes, and the upper surface of the head of the separation section is lower than the upper surface of the tail of the separation section.

[0007] To further optimize this technical solution, the dividing columns on both sides of the box are symmetrically arranged; the dividing columns on both sides rotate in opposite directions when they rotate.

[0008] To further optimize this technical solution, the distance between the head of the box-standing section and the head of the separation section is greater than the height of the upper edge of the box when a single box is placed on the box-standing section.

[0009] To further optimize this technical solution, the distance between the head of the rack section and the head of the separation section is less than the distance between the edges of the two stacked boxes near the separation column.

[0010] To further optimize this technical solution, when the shapes of the dividing columns on both sides of the box are symmetrical, the dividing columns on both sides rotate in opposite directions.

[0011] To further optimize this technical solution, when the shapes of the dividing columns on both sides of the box are the same, the dividing columns on both sides rotate in the same direction.

[0012] To further optimize this technical solution, the compartment drive mechanism is a motor, and the motor output shaft is connected to the compartment column.

[0013] To further optimize this technical solution, the compartment drive mechanism includes a telescopic cylinder, with a rack at the telescopic end of the cylinder; and a gear meshing with the rack is provided on the upper side of the compartment column.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: by using the dividing columns set on both sides of the box, the stacked boxes are first supported. At the same time, the rotation of the dividing columns allows the bottom box to be separated from the top box. Furthermore, the rotation of the dividing columns disengages the fitted bottom box from the top box, causing the bottom box to fall while maintaining support for the top box.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model. Example 1

[0021] Combination Figures 1-3 A stacking box separation mechanism includes box-separating columns 2 disposed opposite to each other on both sides of a stacked box 1; and a box-separating drive mechanism for rotating the box-separating columns 2; the box-separating columns 2 are disposed along the stacking direction of the boxes; the box-separating columns 2 are provided with a box-supporting part 3 and a separation part 4 circumferentially protruding from their outer surfaces, the separation part 4 being disposed to gradually expand in the direction of rotation toward the stacking direction of the boxes; the separation part 4 has a head and a tail with a gradually increasing thickness along the axial direction; the box-supporting part 3 is disposed below the head of the separation part 4; the box-supporting part 3 is disposed below the upper surface of the tail of the separation part 4; the separation part 4 is disposed to expand on both sides along the stacking direction of the boxes; when the box-separating columns 2 on both sides of the box 1 are symmetrical in shape, the two box-separating columns 2 rotate in opposite directions when rotating; when the box-separating columns 2 on both sides of the box 1 are identical in shape, the two box-separating columns 2 rotate in the same direction when rotating.

[0022] The distance between the head of the box-standing section 3 and the head of the separation section 4 is greater than the height of the upper edge of the box 1 when a single box 1 is placed on the box-standing section 3; the distance between the head of the box-standing section 3 and the head of the separation section 4 is less than the distance between the edges of two stacked boxes 1 near the separation column 2. The upper surface of the head of the separation section 4 is lower than the upper surface of the tail of the separation section 4; the box-separating drive mechanism includes a telescopic cylinder 7, and a rack 8 is provided at the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 7; a gear 9 that meshes with the rack 8 is provided on the upper side of the separation column 2. Example 2

[0023] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the compartment drive mechanism is a motor 6, and the output shaft of the motor 6 is connected to the compartment column 2.

[0024] Combination Figures 1-4 In use, stacked boxes 1 are placed between the two side dividing pillars 2. The boxes 1 are supported by the separating parts 4 on the outside of the two side dividing pillars 2. When the boxes 1 need to fall one by one, the dividing pillars 2 are driven to rotate by the drive mechanism, so that the two sides of the bottom box 1 fall from the separating parts 4 onto the box-holding parts 3. At this time, the head of the separating parts 4 faces the side gap between the two adjacent boxes 1. Continue to rotate, so that the head of the separating parts 4 inserts into the gap between the two adjacent boxes 1. The shape of the gradually expanding separating parts 4 separates the two boxes 1. At the same time, the bottom box 1 lacks the support of the box-holding parts 3. The top of the bottom box 1 is pushed down by the separating parts 4 and separated from the top box 1, so that the bottom box 1 can fall freely. Meanwhile, the top box 1 is supported by the top of the separating parts 4 to complete one working cycle. The difference between using a motor 6 or a telescopic cylinder 7 to drive the dividing column 2 to rotate is that the cylinder drives the dividing column 2 to rotate in both directions, while the motor 6 drives the dividing column 2 to rotate in one direction. Both methods can achieve the same result of dropping the box 1 from the separating part 4 to the box-holding part 3.

[0025] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
