Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cartoning machine technology, and in particular to a multi-station collaborative working device for a parallel operation cartoning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Cartoning machines are a type of packaging machinery. Their main function is to package products into boxes, improve the appearance of the products, and make them easier to use. They include automatic cartoning machines and semi-automatic cartoning machines. Cartoning machines mainly complete the tasks of boxing products, boxing instruction manuals, and sealing the boxes. Some cartoning machines require manual insertion of instruction manuals, while others also have labeling functions.

[0003] However, when a cartoning machine is packing boxes, the positions and dimensions of the molds at multiple stations on the turntable are usually fixed and can only be used for products of a single specification. When the product packaging specifications change, it is necessary to replace the entire set of molds or make large-scale adjustments to the equipment, which will increase production costs and downtime. Therefore, we need to consider how to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-7 A multi-station collaborative working device for a parallel operation cartoning machine includes a support base 1. A rotating disk 2 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support base 1. An installation groove 3 is provided inside the support base 1. A first motor 4, which is a servo motor, is installed on the inner wall of the installation groove 3. The output shaft of the first motor 4 passes through the support base 1 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating disk 2. By rotating the rotating disk 2, different stations can be rotated to designated positions in sequence to facilitate different cartoning operations and realize the collaborative work of multiple stations. An adjustment groove 5 is provided inside the rotating disk 2. A gear ring 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment groove 5. Multiple rotating shafts 7 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the adjustment groove 5. A gear 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each rotating shaft 7. Each gear 8 meshes with the gear ring 6. A second motor 9, which is a servo motor, is installed at the upper end of the rotating disk 2. The output shaft of the second motor 9 extends into the adjustment groove 5 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of one of the rotating shafts 7.

[0025] The adjusting groove 5 contains multiple racks 10, each meshing with a corresponding gear 8. The bottom of the adjusting groove 5 has multiple sliding grooves 11, each with a slider 12 slidably connected to its inner wall. The upper end of each slider 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of a corresponding rack 10. One end of each rack 10 is fixedly connected to a movable plate 13. Through the cooperation of the gear ring 6, gear 8, and racks 10, multiple positions on the rotating disk 2 can be adjusted to accommodate products of different specifications, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the cartoning machine. In terms of adaptability, the upper end of each moving plate 13 extends to the outside, and the lower end of the rack 10 is slidably connected to the slide groove 11 through the slider 12, which ensures the stability of the movement of the rack 10. Multiple fixed plates 14 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating disk 2, and a rectangular frame 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each fixed plate 14. Each fixed plate 14 corresponds to a work station, and multiple work stations are distributed in a circle around the rotating disk 2. Different work stations can perform different operations at the same time, such as picking up products at some work stations and packing products at other work stations, thereby realizing parallel operation.

[0026] Each movable plate 13 has a push rod 16 fixedly connected to one side wall. The other end of each push rod 16 passes through the corresponding rectangular frame 15 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 17. Each push plate 17 has two first connecting rods 18 hinged to it, and each first connecting rod 18 has a second connecting rod 19 hinged to it. A fixed rod 20 is provided between every two cooperating second connecting rods 19. The fixed rod 20 plays a key role in stabilization and support, ensuring the stability and reliability of the linkage mechanism during movement. Both ends of each fixed rod 20... Each is hinged to the corresponding second link 19, and the other end of each second link 19 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 21. When the push rod 16 pushes the push plate 17 to move, the distance between the clamping plates 21 can be adjusted through the transmission of the first link 18 and the second link 19, so as to adapt to products of different specifications and further improve the adaptability of the cartoning machine to different products. Each pair of mating clamping plates 21 is provided with a protective layer on the opposite side. Each protective layer is made of rubber, and the rubber protective layer can play a role in cushioning and anti-slip.

[0027] In this utility model, when in use, the first motor 4 is started, causing the rotating disk 2 to rotate. The rotating disk 2 can rotate around the rotation center of the support base 1. In this way, multiple workstations distributed around the circumference on the rotating disk 2 can rotate to the designated position in sequence, which facilitates different boxing operation processes, realizes the collaborative work of multiple workstations, and allows different workstations to perform different operations at the same time, thereby realizing parallel operation.

[0028] When the workstation needs to be adjusted to accommodate products of different specifications, the second motor 9 is started, which drives a shaft 7 connected to it to rotate. Since each gear 8 meshes with the gear ring 6, the rotation of one shaft 7 will drive the gear ring 6 to rotate through the meshing of the gear 8 and the gear ring 6. The rotation of the gear ring 6 will drive the other gears 8 that mesh with it to rotate. The multiple gears 8 mesh with the corresponding rack 10, which in turn causes the rack 10 to move in the adjustment groove 5. The movement of the rack 10 will drive the moving plate 13 that is fixedly connected to it to move, which in turn causes the push rod 16 and push plate 17 and other components to move as well, thereby realizing the adjustment of the workstation.

[0029] When push rod 16 pushes push plate 17 to move, the linkage mechanism composed of first link 18 and second link 19 starts to work. Since the first link 18 and second link 19 are hinged to each other, and a fixed rod 20 is provided between each pair of cooperating second links 19, the movement of push plate 17 will be transmitted to clamping plate 21 through the transmission of first link 18 and second link 19. This allows the spacing of clamping plate 21 to change accordingly according to the moving distance and direction of push plate 17, thereby enabling the device to adapt to products of different specifications, improving the adaptability of cartoning machine to diversified products, and enhancing the efficiency and flexibility of cartoning operations.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
