Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automated cardboard box processing, and specifically to a cardboard box flipping device. Background Technology
[0002] In fully automated cardboard box processing, conveyor belts are used to transport cardboard boxes from one workstation to another for subsequent labeling and other operations. During the conveyor belt transport of cardboard boxes, they also need to be flipped so that workers can label them at the target locations. Currently, most cardboard box flipping methods rely on manual flipping or manual handling with sticks or shovels. Manual flipping is inefficient and costly, and using sticks or shovels can sometimes damage the cardboard box shell, resulting in unnecessary losses. In addition, some factories use conveyor belts with flipping mechanisms for cardboard box flipping, but these mechanisms are complex in structure and have relatively high manufacturing and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a carton flipping device, which uses a flipping component to flip the carton transported on the roller assembly multiple times, thereby solving the problems of low flipping efficiency and high cost in traditional manual carton flipping.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A carton flipping device includes a carton. The carton flipping device includes a main frame, a roller assembly, and at least one flipping component. The roller assembly is fixedly mounted on the main frame. The flipping component includes a drive shaft, several longitudinal limiting rods, and several transverse bottom rods. The drive shaft is rotatably fixed below the roller assembly. The several longitudinal limiting rods are fixedly mounted on the upper end of the drive shaft. One end of each of the several longitudinal limiting rods passes through the roller assembly and extends upward. The several transverse bottom rods are transversely fixed to the drive shaft. The carton is placed on the upper end of the roller assembly and located directly above the several transverse bottom rods.
[0006] Furthermore, the flipping assembly also includes a transmission connector, a servo motor, and a coupling. The transmission connector, servo motor, and coupling are all fixedly mounted on the main frame. One end of the servo motor is connected to one end of the coupling, the other end of the coupling is connected to one end of the transmission spindle, and the other end of the transmission spindle is connected to the transmission connector.
[0007] Furthermore, the main frame includes two fixed side plates, a support panel, and a support main frame. The two fixed side plates are arranged opposite each other at the upper end of the support panel, and the support main frame is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the support panel. The roller assembly is fixedly arranged between the two fixed side plates, and the transmission connector, servo motor, and coupling of the flipping assembly are all fixedly arranged at the upper end of the support panel.
[0008] Furthermore, the roller assembly includes several long rollers, the carton is placed on the upper end of the several long rollers, a certain gap is left between the several long rollers, one end of each of the several longitudinal limiting rods passes through the gap between the several long rollers and extends upward, and the several transverse bottom rods are positioned opposite the gap between the several long rollers.
[0009] Furthermore, the transmission main shaft is provided with a crossbar fixing member, and one end of each of the plurality of transverse bottom bars is fixedly connected to the crossbar fixing member.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the main support frame is fixedly provided with several bottom support legs.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] (1) The flipping assembly of this utility model includes a transmission main shaft, several longitudinal limiting rods, and several transverse bottom rods. The transmission main shaft is rotatably fixed below the roller assembly. When the roller assembly transports the carton to the top of the several transverse bottom rods, it can stop running. At this time, the transmission main shaft rotates, thereby driving the several transverse bottom rods and several longitudinal limiting rods to rotate. When the several transverse bottom rods rotate, they contact the bottom of the carton and drive the carton to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the flipping of the carton. This facilitates the labeling operation of the carton at the target position by the staff, replacing the existing traditional manual flipping or manual flipping with sticks or flippers. It effectively improves the flipping efficiency of the carton and reduces the related costs of flipping the carton. At the same time, it prevents the flipping tools used by the staff from damaging the outer shell of the carton, effectively avoiding unnecessary losses. In addition, since the structure design of this flipping assembly is relatively simple, it also has the advantages of low manufacturing cost and low maintenance cost. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Reference Appendix Figure 1-5 The working process of this utility model's cardboard box flipping device is as follows:
[0034] During operation, several long rollers 301 transport the carton 1 to a position directly above several horizontal bottom bars 403 and then stop transporting. Subsequently, the servo motor 405, in conjunction with the coupling 406, drives the transmission spindle 401 to rotate. When the transmission spindle 401 rotates, it drives several longitudinal limit bars 402 and several horizontal bottom bars 403 to rotate. When the horizontal bottom bars 403 rotate, they will contact and abut against the bottom surface of the carton 1 and, together with the longitudinal limit bars 402, drive the carton 1 to rotate synchronously. After rotating, the carton 1 will fall back to another position of the long rollers 301. At the same time, the long rollers 301 transport the rotated carton 1 to the labeling area, where the staff can then label the carton 1 at the target position.
[0035] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
