Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of corrugated cardboard box technology, specifically relating to a rapid storage device for cardboard box production. Background Technology

[0002] Corrugated boxes are a widely used packaging product made from corrugated cardboard. During the production of corrugated boxes, multiple cardboard sheets stacked together are prone to crushing and damage as the quantity increases, and transportation is inconvenient. Therefore, the finished cardboard sheets need to be counted and bundled before being centrally transferred and stored.

[0003] Current corrugated cardboard box production relies entirely on manual labor for counting, bundling, and transfer. This requires handling each box individually, resulting in relatively slow processing and a high risk of misplacement or omissions, impacting subsequent transportation and storage. Furthermore, the weight of a certain number of boxes makes manual handling difficult, and the risk of boxes collapsing during stacking can easily injure workers. Utility Model Content

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a rapid storage device for cardboard box production, including a device housing 1. One side of the device housing 1 is a fixed surface 3, and the other sides are openwork surfaces. A row of transmission rollers 4 is provided at the bottom of the device housing 1. The transmission rollers 4 are movably connected to the mounting plates on both sides (omitted in the figure, the height is the same as the diameter of the transmission rollers 4) through a rotating shaft, so that the transmission rollers 4 will be passively rotated when subjected to external force. It also includes a top storage plate 2, which is made of acrylic material and is fixed by bolts. A storage groove 201 is opened in the middle. Several cylinders 6 are installed on the fixed surface 3. The cylinders 6 are close to the bottom transmission rollers 4 and perpendicular to the transmission rollers 4. Several storage shelves 5 are placed on the surface of the transmission rollers 4. The notches of the storage shelves 5 are all arranged facing the cylinders 6. When the cylinders 6 are lifted, the storage shelves 5 will be pushed forward one position. The pushing distance is set to be the same as the placement length of the storage shelves 5, so as to leave space for the next empty storage item.

[0021] A downward-sloping guide plate 202 is provided at the storage slot 201, and the gap between the guide plate 202 and the storage slot 201 is small. This allows the cardboard pieces, which have been flattened in the previous process, to fall quickly from the storage slot 201 and be guided by the guide plate 202 to slide automatically into the storage shelf 5. At the same time, the small gap allows for secondary compression of the cardboard pieces, improving their flatness.

[0022] The storage shelf 5 is made entirely of aluminum, making it lightweight, highly stable, and resistant to deformation. Its structure includes a base plate 501. Two limiting posts 504 are located on the rear side of the base plate 501. Positioning rods 502, each triangular prism in shape, are positioned between the limiting posts 504 and two uprights on the front side of the base plate 501. A support strip 503, matching the shape of the positioning rods 502, is located at the bottom of the base plate 501. The support strip 503 is fixed to the base plate 501 by several reinforcing ribs. Figure 2 and 3As shown, the base plate 501 supports stacked cardboard boxes, the rear limiting post 504 can block the flying cardboard boxes, and the two triangular support bars 503 at the bottom can fit with the upper surface of the triangular prism positioning rod 502, so that the storage racks 5 can be stacked stably, avoiding the squeezing of the cardboard boxes, and making it convenient for forklifts to pick them up at any time.

[0023] A vision sensor (a MINI series SH3-103 high-speed camera is used in this embodiment) is provided on the side of the device housing 1. The vision sensor can monitor the internal status of the device housing 1 in real time, especially whether the current storage shelf 5 has reached the preset point, and the number of cartons inside the current storage shelf 5 within the position range. When the quantity meets the condition, it is fed back to the terminal and a lifting command for the cylinder 6 is sent until the next empty storage shelf 5 is in place. Only then will the data be transmitted to the terminal to instruct the next batch of cartons to be released.

[0024] In summary, in this invention, both the cylinder 6 and the vision sensor are electrically connected to the control equipment and have data transmission capabilities. When the vision sensor detects an empty storage shelf 5 entering a preset area, the previous process releases a corresponding number of cardboard boxes, which are then pushed into the storage slot 201 by the operator. This causes the cardboard boxes to slide sequentially into the storage shelf 5. When the vision sensor detects that the current number of cardboard boxes in the storage shelf 5 is reached, the cylinder 6 is activated to push the fully loaded storage shelf 5 at a constant speed onto a waiting forklift, transporting it to the storage warehouse to await the arrival of the next empty storage shelf 5. At this time, the forklift operator can stack the storage shelves 5 according to the warehouse space to save storage space and ensure convenient access to the shelves. This also ensures that the stored cardboard boxes are stacked in an orderly manner, preventing collapse and damage.
