Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated material handling equipment technology, and in particular to a flipping device for corrugated cardboard processing. Background Technology
[0002] Corrugated cardboard is a sheet-like material made by bonding linerboard and corrugated paper formed by corrugating rollers. It is generally divided into single-wall corrugated cardboard and double-wall corrugated cardboard. It has the advantages of low cost, light weight, easy processing, high strength, excellent printability, and convenient storage and handling. It can be used as packaging for food or digital products, is relatively environmentally friendly, and has a wide range of applications.
[0003] Currently, in the corrugated cardboard processing process, multiple workers are usually arranged at the stacking exit to count and flip the boards. The work efficiency of these workers directly affects the overall work efficiency of the corrugated board production line. However, this operation method is not only labor-intensive, but also requires multiple workers.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model document proposes a flipping device for corrugated cardboard processing. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a flipping device for corrugated cardboard processing, which solves the problem that in the prior art, multiple workers are usually arranged at the stacking exit to perform counting and flipping actions. The work efficiency of these workers directly affects the overall work efficiency of the corrugated board production line. However, this operation method is not only labor-intensive, but also requires multiple workers.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A flipping device for corrugated cardboard processing includes:
[0008] Two symmetrically arranged vertical plates are connected by a common flip plate. A transmission rod is fixedly installed on both sides of the flip plate. The transmission rod is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the corresponding vertical plate via bearings. A movable plate is slidably installed on the inner wall of the flip plate. Two universal wheels and two leveling screws are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical plates to facilitate the movement of the device and to facilitate the leveling support of the device. Hollow supports for contacting the ground are threaded onto the leveling screws.
[0009] The first drive assembly, located on the vertical plate, is used to drive the flip plate to rotate 90 degrees so that workers can count and load materials.
[0010] The second drive assembly, located on the flipping plate, is used to smoothly move the remaining stack of plates so that workers can count and load them.
[0011] In one possible design, the first drive assembly includes a triangular mounting bracket fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one of the vertical plates. A drive motor and a reducer are fixedly mounted on the top of the triangular mounting bracket. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the reducer. The output shaft of the reducer passes through the inner wall of the adjacent vertical plate and is fixedly connected to the other end of the corresponding transmission rod.
[0012] In one possible design, a first reinforcing column and a second reinforcing column are fixedly arranged between the two vertical plates for the flip plate to flip and position. When the outer wall of the flip plate abuts against the side wall of the first reinforcing column, the flip plate is perpendicular to the ground. When the outer wall of the flip plate abuts against the top of the second reinforcing column, the flip plate is parallel to the ground.
[0013] In one possible design, the second drive assembly includes two mounting plates symmetrically fixed at the inner edge of the flip plate. An electric push rod is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting plate. The output end of the electric push rod passes through the inner wall of the corresponding mounting plate and is fixedly mounted with a mounting piece. The mounting piece is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving plate by two bolts.
[0014] In one possible design, two T-shaped sliders are symmetrically fixed on one side of the movable plate to improve its movement stability, and a T-shaped groove is provided on the inner wall of the flip plate for sliding connection of the corresponding T-shaped sliders.
[0015] In one possible design, two protective plates are symmetrically fixed on the inner wall of the flip plate to protect the output end of the electric push rod, and the movable plate is provided with a through-hole for sliding through the corresponding protective plate.
[0016] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit the present invention.
[0017] The working principle and usage process of this technical solution are as follows:
[0018] Before use, move the flipping device to a suitable position between the corrugated cardboard stacking outlet and the next packing conveyor belt using the universal wheels at the bottom. Then rotate the hollow support to make it contact the ground and level the device to ensure that the device is in a stable state. At this time, the flipping plate is perpendicular to the ground, the moving plate is in the initial position on the inner wall of the flipping plate, and the first drive component and the second drive component are both in standby state.
[0019] After the boards are stacked onto the moving plate by the mobile device, the stack is pressed against the inner wall of the flipping plate. When counting and feeding are required, the drive motor in the first drive assembly is started. The output shaft of the drive motor rotates, which drives the input shaft of the reducer to rotate. After being decelerated by the reducer, its output shaft rotates, which in turn drives the transmission rod that is fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the transmission rod is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the corresponding vertical plate through bearings and the transmission rod is fixedly set on both sides of the flipping plate, the rotation of the transmission rod will cause the flipping plate to rotate 90 degrees around the axis of the transmission rod. During the flipping process, the first and second reinforcing columns fixed between the two vertical plates play a role in flipping and positioning. When the outer wall of the flipping plate abuts against the top of the second reinforcing column, the flipping plate is parallel to the ground. At this time, it is convenient for a single worker to count and feed the flipped corrugated cardboard.
[0020] After a portion of the corrugated cardboard on the flipping plate is counted and loaded, the electric push rod in the second drive assembly is activated. The output end of the electric push rod extends and drives the mounting plate to move. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving plate by two bolts, so the moving plate will move together with the mounting plate. During the movement of the moving plate, two T-shaped sliders symmetrically fixed on one side slide in the T-shaped grooves set on the inner wall of the flipping plate, ensuring the stability of the moving plate. The moving plate smoothly pushes the remaining board stack closer to the worker, making it convenient for the worker to continue the counting and loading operation on the remaining board stack.
[0021] After all the material on the flip plate has been loaded, the first drive component drives the flip plate to rotate 90 degrees again, restoring it to its initial state perpendicular to the ground. The second drive component then drives the moving plate to reset, so that the next round of counting and loading operations can begin.
[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] This invention achieves automatic flipping and movement of corrugated cardboard by using a first drive component to rotate the flipping plate 90 degrees and a second drive component to smoothly move the remaining board stack. This reduces the time and physical effort required for manual flipping and counting, greatly improves the efficiency of the counting and feeding process in corrugated cardboard processing, and thus enhances the overall efficiency of the corrugated board production line.
[0024] This invention can complete the auxiliary work of flipping and counting feeding, reducing the need for multiple workers, thereby saving labor costs and improving the economic benefits of enterprises. Attached Figure Description

[0030] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "middle", "length", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0032] To keep the following description of the embodiments of this utility model clear and concise, detailed descriptions of known functions and known components are omitted.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-4 A flip-plate device, comprising:
[0035] Two symmetrically arranged vertical plates 1 are fixedly mounted with two casters 2 and two leveling screws 3 at their bottoms. The leveling screws 3 are M16×500mm trapezoidal screws equipped with anti-loosening locking nuts. Hollow supports 4 are threaded onto the leveling screws 3. The hollow supports 4 are made of aluminum alloy and have wear-resistant rubber pads on their bottoms. The casters 2 facilitate the movement of the device. When the device is moved to the designated position, the hollow supports 4 can be rotated to make them contact the ground, thereby achieving leveling support for the device and ensuring its stability during operation.
[0036] A flip plate 5 made of Q235 carbon structural steel is installed between the two vertical plates 1 to ensure load-bearing strength. The transmission rods 7 on both sides of the flip plate 5 are rotatably installed on the inner wall of the corresponding vertical plate 1 through bearings, so that the flip plate 5 can rotate between the vertical plates 1. The transmission rods 7 are 45# steel chrome-plated round rods, equipped with deep groove ball bearings (model 6206) to ensure flipping flexibility. A movable plate 6 is installed on the inner wall of the flip plate 5, so that the movable plate 6 can slide on the inner wall of the flip plate 5.
[0037] The first drive assembly includes a triangular mounting bracket 8 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one of the vertical plates 1. The triangular mounting bracket 8 is made of Q235 and has a powder-coated surface for rust prevention. A drive motor 9 and a reducer 10 are fixedly mounted on the top of the triangular mounting bracket 8. The output shaft of the drive motor 9 is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the reducer 10. The output shaft of the reducer 10 passes through the inner wall of the adjacent vertical plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the other end of the corresponding transmission rod 7. The drive motor (9) is an SEW motor, model DR.DRE90S4 / BMG / TF / 51K4, and is controlled to rotate forward and backward by an AC contactor (Schneider LC1D18). It is protected against overload by a thermal relay (LR2D1308). The reducer (10) is an SEW coaxial helical gear reducer, model R27DRN90S4, with a reduction ratio i = 27 and an output torque of 25 Nm.
[0038] A first reinforcing column 11 and a second reinforcing column 12 are fixedly installed between the two vertical plates 1 for the flipping plate 5 to be flipped and positioned. The first reinforcing column 11 and the second reinforcing column 12 are equipped with flipping position sensors and use E2E-X5ME1 proximity switches (to detect the vertical / horizontal position of the flipping plate 5). When the outer wall of the flipping plate 5 abuts against the side wall of the first reinforcing column 11, the flipping plate 5 is perpendicular to the ground. When the outer wall of the flipping plate 5 abuts against the top of the second reinforcing column 12, the flipping plate 5 is parallel to the ground. After the drive motor 9 is started, the output shaft of the drive motor 9 drives the input shaft of the reducer 10 to rotate. After the reducer 10 adjusts the speed, its output shaft drives the transmission rod 7 to rotate, thereby driving the flipping plate 5 to flip 90 degrees. When the outer wall of the flipping plate 5 abuts against the top of the second reinforcing column 12, the flipping plate 5 is parallel to the ground. At this time, the worker can count and feed the flipped corrugated cardboard.
[0039] The second drive assembly includes two mounting plates 13 symmetrically fixed at the inner edge of the flip plate 5. Electric push rods 14 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting plates 13. The electric push rods 14 are model IRT25-100, with a thrust of 2500N and a speed of 5mm / s, and are powered by a DC power module (Meanwell LRS-350-24). They control a servo driver (Delta ASD-B2) via PLC pulse signals. In the control circuit (DC24V), the two electric push rods 14 are connected via an S7-1200... The CPU1214C model PLC controller synchronously controls the operation, and the extended analog module SM1231 (controls the speed of the push rod) sends synchronous pulse signals to the two electric push rod 14 drivers. One push rod (master) runs at a preset speed, and the other push rod (slave) provides real-time feedback of position signals through an encoder. The controller dynamically adjusts the speed of the slave push rod to compensate for position deviations. The output end of the electric push rod 14 passes through the inner wall of the corresponding mounting plate 13 and is fixedly mounted with a mounting plate 19. The mounting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving plate 6 by two bolts 20.
[0040] Two T-shaped sliders 15 are symmetrically fixed on one side of the moving plate 6 to improve its movement stability. The inner wall of the flip plate 5 is provided with T-shaped grooves 16 for sliding connection with the corresponding T-shaped sliders 15. The T-shaped grooves 16 are HIWIN linear guides, model MGN12H, which, together with the T-shaped sliders, ensure movement accuracy of ±0.02mm. When a portion of the corrugated cardboard on the flip plate 5 is counted and fed, the electric push rod 14 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 14 drives the mounting plate 19 to move. The mounting plate 19 drives the moving plate 6 to slide on the inner wall of the flip plate 5 through the bolts 20. Under the push of the moving plate 6, the remaining board stack moves smoothly so that the worker can continue to count and feed the board.
[0041] This application can be used for corrugated cardboard processing, or for other fields applicable to this application.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3-4 Two protective plates 17 are symmetrically fixed on the inner wall of the flip plate 5 to protect the output end of the electric push rod 14. The protective plates 17 are made of thick cold-rolled steel plates with powder coating. The moving plate 6 is provided with a through hole 18 for sliding through the protective plates 17. The protective plates 17 are provided to prevent the plate stack from contacting the output end of the electric push rod 14.
