[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of box collecting machines, and in particular to a box collecting machine with a counting function. Background Technology

[0002] Packaging boxes can wrap items, improving their preservation and aesthetics. After processing and manufacturing, the packaging boxes need to be taken out from the output end and then stacked. After stacking, the packaging boxes can be packaged. Most packaging boxes are rectangular in shape. During the stacking process, people need to manually stack the packaging boxes one group at a time to complete the stacking of multiple groups of packaging boxes.

[0003] In existing packaging box collection methods, the boxes are continuously conveyed on the production line via a conveyor belt. Workers then take a fixed number of boxes based on the storage capacity. However, some boxes may be missed during collection due to equipment operation, requiring their recovery and increasing workload. Therefore, a clamping mechanism was designed to facilitate palletizing and packaging. Utility Model Content

[0025] Given the current technology, when collecting packaging boxes, the boxes are first continuously conveyed on the production line via a conveyor belt. Workers take out a fixed number of boxes according to the storage capacity. However, during the collection process, some boxes may be missed due to the operation of the equipment, which requires the collection of these missed boxes, increasing the workload.

[0026] As shown in the attached figure, this utility model embodiment provides a box collecting machine with a counting function.

[0027] A flipping mechanism 12 is provided on one side of the workbench 11, and a control module is provided inside the workbench 11 to control the operation of the equipment; a limiting plate 13 is provided on the top of the workbench 11; a pushing mechanism 14 is provided on the limiting plate 13; a clamping assembly 2 is provided on the top of the workbench 11, the clamping assembly 2 includes: a driving mechanism 21 provided on the top of the workbench 11; a vertical rod 22 provided at the bottom of the slider of the driving mechanism 21; a U-shaped plate 23 is penetrated by the vertical rod 22; an electric push rod 24 is provided on the slider of the vertical rod 22 and its bottom end is connected to the U-shaped plate 23; a motor 25 is provided on the top of the U-shaped plate 23; a turntable 26 is fixedly provided on the bottom output shaft of the motor 25; a horizontal plate 27 is penetrated by one end of the U-shaped plate 23; a protrusion 28 is penetrated by the top end of the groove of one end of the horizontal plate 27 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 26; a clamping plate 29 is fixedly provided on one end of the horizontal plate 27.

[0028] Specifically, the flipping mechanism 12 needs to be connected to the conveyor belt. During operation, the conveyor belt transports the boxes into the flipping mechanism 12, which is commonly referred to as a "carton flipper" or "carton turner." The main function of this type of equipment is to flip cartons 180 degrees or other angles as needed through mechanical structures or automated control to meet the orientation adjustment requirements of the production line. Cartons lying flat on the conveyor belt can be rotated after passing through the flipping mechanism 12, causing the cartons to remain upright and enter the inner side of the limiting plate 13. Sensors are installed on the limiting plate 13 (attached). Figure 1 (This is shown on the top of the limiting plate 13). Essentially, it's an automated logic of "sensor detection + signal processing," achieving accurate statistics through the collaboration of hardware (sensors, encoders) and software (controller algorithms). When a certain number of boxes (similar to existing medicine boxes) have passed through the sensor, the control module inside the workbench 11 controls the pushing mechanism 14 to move the stacked boxes forward (the pushing mechanism 14, controlled by an electric telescopic rod, can push the boxes inside the limiting plate 13). This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further here.

[0029] The principle of the drive mechanism 21 is that the motor controls the rotation of the threaded rod, causing the threaded rod to be threadedly connected to the slider. The drive mechanism rotates the threaded rod and connects it to the slider, allowing it to move left and right on the crossbar. It is fixedly mounted on the top of the worktable 11 by a vertical plate (the principle is similar to that of an electric screw slide or electric lead screw).

[0030] In use, after a certain number of boxes are stacked inside the limiting plate 13, the drive mechanism 21 drives the U-shaped plate 23 to move above the boxes. Then, the electric push rod 24 pushes the U-shaped plate 23 downward, while the design of the upright 22 keeps it stable. After the U-shaped plate 23 moves to the bottom, the clamping plates 29 are located on both sides of the boxes (multiple boxes are arranged in a group, and the height is higher than the limiting plate 13). At this time, the motor 25 drives the turntable 26 to rotate, and when rotating, it drags the protrusion 28 to slide in the groove at one end of the horizontal plate 27, which can pull the two horizontal plates 27 to insert into the inside of the U-shaped plate 23, thereby driving the clamping plates 29 to move closer and clamp multiple boxes. The box is held in place, and then the electric push rod 24 retracts, causing the U-shaped plate 23 to rise, so that the box is pulled out from the inside of the limiting plate 13. The drive mechanism 21 moves it to the left side (a carton needs to be placed on top of the left workbench 11 beforehand). Then, the electric push rod 24 pushes the U-shaped plate 23 down, so that the box is inserted into the carton. Then, the motor 25 controls the turntable 26 to rotate, and the protrusion 28 pushes the horizontal plate 27 out from inside the U-shaped plate 23, so that the clamping plate 29 moves away, releasing the clamping of the box. The box then falls into the carton. Finally, the carton is sealed (suitable for pharmaceutical production lines, for uniform packaging of boxed medicines). Compared with the existing method of manually placing boxes one by one into the packaging carton, this method is more efficient and saves labor.

[0031] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the clamping plate 29 is designed with a slope.

[0032] The slanted design makes it relatively easier to insert into the carton.

[0033] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 2 further includes a rubber strip 291 disposed on the outer side wall of the clamping plate 29.

[0034] The design of the rubber strip 291 not only protects the box body, but also increases friction, making the clamping more stable.

[0035] In some embodiments, a connecting assembly 3 is provided on the horizontal plate 27. The connecting assembly 3 further includes: a frame 31 disposed on the top of the clamping plate 29; a housing 32 disposed on the top of the horizontal plate 27; a crossbar 33 disposed inside the housing 32; a locking block 34 inserted at one end into the housing 32 and penetrated by the crossbar 33; and a spring 35 sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 33.

[0036] When it is necessary to clamp different numbers of boxes, the clamping plate 29 needs to be replaced. To replace it with the appropriate size, simply control the two locking blocks 34 to slide on the crossbar 33 inside the housing 32, and simultaneously squeeze the spring 35 so that one end of the locking block 34 is close together. This can push the frame 31 away from the locking block 34 to complete the installation of the clamping plate 29. Then, bring the new clamping plate 29 close to the crossbar 27, while the frame 31 is fitted onto the outside of the locking block 34. The spring 35 rebounds and pushes the locking block 34 away, so that it engages with the frame 31 to complete the installation.

[0037] In some embodiments, the connecting component 3 further includes: the bottom end of the lever 36 is inserted into the interior of the housing 32 and connected to the locking block 34.

[0038] The design of the lever 36 makes it easy to grip, and by pushing the two levers 36 close together, the locking block 34 can be moved at the same time, making it easier to operate.

[0039] In some embodiments, one end of the card block 34 is designed with a bevel.

[0040] The slanted design allows the locking block 34 to be squeezed closer when the clamping plate 29 and the horizontal plate 27 are close together, compressing the spring 35. After the clamping plate 29 and the horizontal plate 27 are in contact, the spring 35 rebounds and pushes the locking block 34 away, so that one end of the locking block 34 engages with the frame 31 to complete the installation. This eliminates the need to control the movement of the locking block 34, making operation more convenient.

[0041] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 3 further includes: a positioning hole 37 formed on the outer side wall of the clamping plate 29; and a plug rod 38 disposed at one end of the cross plate 27.

[0042] The design of positioning hole 37 and insertion rod 38 makes the installation of clamp 29 more stable and less prone to back-and-forth wobbling.

[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting component 3 further includes a cone 39 disposed at one end of the insertion rod 38.

[0044] The pointed end of the cone 39 makes it easier to insert into the positioning hole 37.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
