Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, specifically to a suction cup type fully automatic box-separating machine. Background Technology

[0002] Faced with diverse, rapid, and ever-changing market demands, automated production line manufacturing is an inevitable trend. Placing food and feed in boxes and then wrapping them with packaging film has been accepted by businesses and the general public because it can ensure the freshness of food and feed for a certain period of time and their integrity during transportation.

[0003] However, before packaging, boxes are often processed into irregular shapes, such as wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, for ease of storage and transportation. This facilitates stacking. But because they are stacked, they need to be separated one by one during the packaging process before entering the packaging machinery for automatic packaging. Traditional manual box separation methods are easily affected by human factors such as high labor intensity and worker fatigue. The longer the working hours and the more processes on the production line, the lower the efficiency. Moreover, manual separation methods are more likely to cause boxes to become contaminated.

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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] As attached Figure 1-4As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a suction cup type fully automatic box-separating machine, including a worktable 1, a conveyor 2, a support frame 3, a suction device 4, a separation device 5, and a conveying device (not shown in the figure). The support frame 3 is fixedly mounted on the worktable 1. The conveyor 2 passes through the bottom of the support frame 3 and is fixed on the worktable 1. The conveying device is mounted on the conveyor 2. The suction device 4 is mounted inside one side of the conveyor 2 and fixed to the worktable 1. The separation device 5 is mounted on the support frame 3. The boxes stacked on the support frame 3 are initially separated one by one by the separation device 5. Then, the suction device 4 sucks up the bottom of the box and pulls it down, so that it falls onto the conveyor 2. Subsequently, the conveying device sends it out, thereby separating and sending out the stacked boxes one by one.

[0025] The support frame 3 has a workpiece drop port 31 in the middle, the workbench 1 has a suction installation port 11 on one side of its top surface, and the conveyor 2 has a suction extension port 21 on one side of its top surface. The suction installation port 11 and the suction extension port 21 are both directly below the workpiece drop port 31. The separation device 5 is installed on the left and right sides of the workpiece drop port 31, and the suction device 4 is installed at the suction installation port 11.

[0026] The widths of the suction mounting port 11 and the suction extension port 21 are both smaller than the length and width of the box, thereby preventing the box from falling into the conveyor table 2.

[0027] The suction device 4 includes a suction telescopic cylinder 41, a cylinder fixing frame 42, a suction cup component 43, and a vacuum pump. The cylinder fixing frame 42 is fixedly installed at the bottom of one side of the suction mounting port 11. The suction telescopic cylinder 41 is inserted into the suction mounting port 11 and fixed to the cylinder fixing frame 42. The suction cup component 43 is installed at the telescopic end of the suction telescopic cylinder 41, and its top end is located below the suction extension port 21. A vacuum tube is connected between the suction cup component 43 and the vacuum pump. The suction cup component 43 is raised and lowered by controlling the suction telescopic cylinder 41, so that the suction cup component 43 approaches the bottom box at the workpiece drop port 31, and works with the vacuum pump and vacuum tube to suck up the box, pull it down, and send it to the conveyor table 2.

[0028] The suction cup component 43 includes a set of vacuum suction cups 431 and a suction cup mounting bracket 432. The bottom end of the suction cup mounting bracket 432 is fixed to the telescopic end of the suction telescopic cylinder 41. The set of vacuum suction cups 431 are spaced apart at the top of the suction cup mounting bracket 432. The bottom ends of the set of vacuum suction cups 431 are respectively connected to a vacuum pump through vacuum tubes. The negative pressure generated by the vacuum pump is transmitted to the vacuum suction cups 431 through the vacuum tubes, driving the vacuum suction cups 431 to perform suction work. The suction force of the set of vacuum suction cups 431 working together is greater and can better pick up the box.

[0029] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the separation device 5 includes two first separation components 51, two second separation components 52, and two isolation covers 53. The two first separation components 51 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the workpiece drop opening 31 and fixed to the support frame 3. The two isolation covers 53 are respectively wrapped around the outside of the two first separation components 51, and the two second separation components 52 are respectively fixed above the two isolation covers 53.

[0030] In other embodiments of this utility model, depending on the size of the workpiece drop opening 31 and the box, the number of the first separating member 51 and the second separating member 52 can be increased to avoid tilting when the packaging separates and supports the box.

[0031] The first separating component 51 includes a first separating telescopic cylinder 511 and a first separating plate 512. The second separating component 52 includes a second separating telescopic cylinder 521 and a second separating plate 522. One end of the first separating plate 512 and the second separating plate 522 are respectively fixed to the telescopic ends of the first separating telescopic cylinder 511 and the second separating telescopic cylinder 521. The first separating telescopic cylinder 511 and the second separating telescopic cylinder 521 control the extension and retraction of the first separating plate 512 and the second separating plate 522 respectively, so as to realize the function of lifting and locking the box and initial separation.

[0032] During operation, the two first separation parts 51 extend and retract simultaneously, and the two second separation parts 52 extend and retract simultaneously, thereby better maintaining the stability of the box's initial separation and descent.

[0033] Specifically, the first separating plate 512 includes a first connecting plate and a first clamping plate. The side of the first connecting plate is connected and fixed to the telescopic end of the first separating telescopic cylinder 511, and one end of the first clamping plate is connected to the top of the first connecting plate. The second separating plate 522 includes a second connecting plate and a second clamping plate. The side of the second connecting plate is connected and fixed to the telescopic end of the second separating telescopic cylinder 521, and one end of the second clamping plate is connected to the bottom of the second connecting plate.

[0034] The top front and rear sides of the workpiece drop outlet 31 are respectively equipped with several limiting rods 32, which enclose a placement area to place stacks of boxes. The bottom of each limiting rod 32 is connected to an adjusting block 33. Workers can adjust the position of the adjusting block 33 inward or outward according to the size of the box, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting rod 32 to accommodate boxes of different sizes.

[0035] The conveying device includes a conveyor belt (not shown in the figure) and a conveyor motor (not shown in the figure). The conveyor belt is mounted on the conveyor platform, and the conveyor motor is mounted on one side of the conveyor platform and is linked to the conveyor belt. The conveyor motor controls the transmission of the conveyor belt, thereby driving the separated boxes out.

[0036] The suction cup type fully automatic box-separating machine also includes a control device 6 and a power system (not shown in the figure). The suction telescopic cylinder 41 and vacuum pump of the suction device 4, the first separation telescopic cylinder 511 and the second separation telescopic cylinder 521 of the separation device 5, and the conveying motor of the conveying device are all electrically connected to the control device 6 and the power system.

[0037] In a specific implementation of this utility model, the working principle of the suction cup type fully automatic box-separating machine is as follows:

[0038] Before starting the machine, both first separation parts 51 of the separation device 5 are extended and both second separation parts 52 are retracted. Then, a stack of boxes is lowered to the first separation parts 51 and held in place.

[0039] After the machine is turned on, the suction telescopic cylinder 41 of the suction device 4 starts to extend upward, driving the suction cup 43 to the bottom of the box, sucking it up and pulling it down; at this time, the two second separation parts 52 first start to extend and lock the upper box, while the two first separation parts 51 then start to retract, causing the sucked box to fall down.

[0040] Subsequently, the suction cylinder 41 retracts, which in turn causes the suction cup 43 holding the box to retract simultaneously until the box falls onto the conveyor table 2, and then the conveyor sends the box out. At this time, the two first separation parts 51 extend first, and the two second separation parts 52 retract later, so that the previous box falls to the first separation part 51 and gets stuck.

[0041] Finally, subsequent operations follow the same process described above, thereby enabling the smooth and rapid extraction, separation, and delivery of a stack of boxes piled up in the placement area.

[0042] 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. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
