Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a paper box packaging machine, specifically to a paper box cable tie removal device for removing cable ties from paper boxes. Background Technology
[0002] A cartoning machine is a device that inserts items to be packaged (such as medicine) along with their instructions (such as medicine instructions) into cardboard boxes. With the increasing demand for automation in the packaging industry, the operating speed of cartoning machines has increased from 200 boxes / minute of traditional equipment to over 600 boxes / minute. However, the cardboard box supply process still relies on manual operation, requiring continuous high-speed stacking of boxes, which is labor-intensive, fatigue-prone, and inefficient in matching machine speeds. Existing technologies also require the design of dedicated trays for different cardboard boxes, resulting in high customization costs. Therefore, the applicant has developed a cardboard box supply system based on paper tape bundling, such as… Figure 1 As shown, this cardboard box supply system uses a robotic arm M to move cardboard boxes H, which are bundled with paper tape, to a cable tie removal device C (the cardboard boxes are flat, and multiple boxes are bundled together with cable ties). Then, the robotic arm M moves the cardboard boxes H, now without cable ties, to a cardboard box storage compartment N. The storage compartment N then conveys the cardboard boxes forward, where they are automatically opened by a suction robotic arm for packaging. Therefore, this cardboard box supply system requires a cardboard box cable tie removal device. Summary of the Invention

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, this cardboard box cable tie removal device includes a placement platform 1, and a cable tie suction mechanism 2 and a cable tie cutting mechanism 3 are provided above the placement platform 1. Figure 3 As shown, the cable tie suction mechanism 2 includes a cable tie suction nozzle 20 and a suction nozzle power source 21 for driving the cable tie suction nozzle 20 to move up and down; the cable tie cutting mechanism 3 includes a cutter 30 and a cutter power source (not shown) for driving the cutter 30 to perform a cutting action; as shown Figure 4 As shown, a cable tie suction mechanism 4 and a cable tie pull-down mechanism 5 are provided below the placement platform 1, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the cable tie suction mechanism 4 includes a cable tie suction nozzle 40 and a suction nozzle power source 41 that drives the cable tie suction nozzle 40 to move up and down. Figure 4 As shown, the placement platform 1 has a discharge port 10, and the cable tie suction nozzle 40 can pass upward through the discharge port 10; as Figure 4 As shown, the cable tie pull-down mechanism 5 includes a pull-down rod 50 and a pull-down power source 51 that drives the pull-down rod 50 to perform a pull-down action.
[0023] The working principle of this cardboard box cable tie removal device is as follows: The robotic arm M places the cardboard box H with cable tie H1 on the placement platform 1. The cardboard box H is above the feed inlet 10. At this time, the cable tie suction nozzle 20 of the cable tie suction mechanism 2 suctions the cable tie H1 from above. Then, the suction nozzle power source 21 drives the cable tie suction nozzle 20 to move upward, and the cable tie suction nozzle 20 picks up the upper part of the cable tie H1. Figure 3 As shown, the upper part of the cable tie H1 is thus separated from the upper surface of the cardboard box H; then the cable tie cutting mechanism 3 starts working, and the cutter power source drives the cutter 30 to perform a cutting action, cutting off the upper part of the cable tie H1, as shown. Figure 5 As shown; then the cable tie suction mechanism 4 starts working, and the suction nozzle power source 41 drives the cable tie suction nozzle 40 to move upward, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the cable tie suction nozzle 40 passes through the discharge port 10 of the placement platform 1 and sucks up the bottom of the cable tie H1. The suction nozzle power source 41 then drives the cable tie suction nozzle 40 to move downward, sucking the cable tie H1 down. Since the cable tie H1 has been cut, the downward cable tie H1 is sucked down (the bottom of the cable tie H1 is below the placement platform 1). Then the cable tie pull-down mechanism 5 starts to work. The pull-down power source 51 drives the pull-down rod 50 to move down, and the pull-down rod 50 pulls the cable tie H1 down, so the cable tie H1 falls down, thus completing the work of removing the cable tie H1.
[0024] Pulling cable tie H1 down by lever 50 will cause it to fall in a rather messy manner. To ensure cable tie H1 falls smoothly into the collection bin below, as follows... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a cable tie conveying mechanism 6 is provided below the placement platform 1. This mechanism includes two conveying units 60, one on the left and one on the right, and a pull rod 50 can enter between the two conveying units 60. Figure 6 As shown, each conveying unit 60 includes a conveying seat 601, a conveyor belt 603, two upper and lower conveyor pulleys 602, and a conveying power source 604. The two upper and lower conveyor pulleys 602 are mounted on the conveying seat 601, and the conveyor belt 603 is wound around the two upper and lower conveyor pulleys 602. The conveying power source 604 is mounted on the conveying seat 601 and is connected to the conveyor pulleys 602 in a driving connection. In addition, the conveying seat 601 is slidably mounted on a horizontal guide rail 64, and the two conveying units 60 are connected to the clamping power source 63 that drives the two conveying units 60 to move relative to each other.
[0025] When the cable tie H1 is pulled down by the pull rod 50, it is positioned between the two conveying units 60. The pull rod 50 retracts, and the clamping power source 63 drives the two conveying units 60 to move and approach each other on the horizontal guide rail 64. In this way, the two conveyor belts 603 clamp the cable tie H1. Then, the conveying power source 604 drives the conveyor belts 603 to move. Driven by the two conveyor belts 603, the cable tie H1 is smoothly conveyed downwards and falls stably into the collection bucket below.
[0026] In order for a single clamping power source 63 to drive two conveying units 60 to move simultaneously, such as Figure 6 As shown, a rotatable transmission screw 65 is provided below the placement platform 1. A first nut 62 is connected to the conveyor seat 601 of one of the conveying units 60, and the first nut 62 is threadedly connected to the transmission screw 65 in the forward direction. A second nut 66 is connected to the conveyor seat of the other conveying unit, and the second nut 66 is threadedly connected to the transmission screw 65 in the reverse direction. The transmission screw 65 is connected to the clamping power source 63. With this structure, one clamping power source 63 drives the transmission screw 65, which can drive the two conveying units 60 to move synchronously relative to each other, saving costs.
[0027] In order to stably pull the cable tie H1 downwards, such as Figure 4 As shown, there are two cable tie suction mechanisms 4, one on the left and one on the right. One cable tie suction mechanism 4 is located on the outside of one conveying unit 60, and the other cable tie suction mechanism 4 is located on the outside of another conveying unit 60. The two cable tie suction mechanisms 4 can stably suck the cable tie H1 downwards and form a large notch, which facilitates the insertion of the pull rod 50.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the pull rod 50 is connected to the translational force source 52 that drives the pull rod 50 to move back and forth, while the pull-down power source 51 can drive the translational force source 52 and the pull rod 50 to move up and down together. When the cable tie H1 is sucked down by the cable tie suction mechanism 4, the translational force source 52 drives the pull rod 50 to insert into the inner circle of the cable tie H1, and then the pull-down power source 51 drives the translational force source 52 and the pull rod 50 to move down together, so that the pull rod 50 can pull the cable tie H1 down. Of course, the pull-down power source 51 can also directly drive the pull rod 50 to move diagonally downward, so that the pull rod 50 enters the inner circle of the cable tie H1 and pulls the cable tie H1 down.
[0029] In order to free up space, the robotic arm M places the cardboard box H with cable ties H1 into the corresponding position on the placement platform 1, such as... Figure 2As shown, the cable tie suction mechanism 2 and the cable tie cutting mechanism 3 are both mounted on the movable frame 7. The movable frame 7 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 71 via a slider 70, and the movable frame 7 is connected to the movable frame power source 8 that drives the movable frame 7 to move. After the cardboard box H has been removed from the cable tie H1, the movable frame power source 8 drives the movable frame 7 to move away with the cable tie suction mechanism 2 and the cable tie cutting mechanism 3. When the robot arm M delivers the cardboard box H with the cable tie H1, there is space to place a new stack of cardboard boxes H in the corresponding position on the placement platform 1. After the cardboard box H is placed, the movable frame power source 8 drives the movable frame 7 to reset with the cable tie suction mechanism 2 and the cable tie cutting mechanism 3, and the removal of cable ties H1 begins again.
[0030] To align the cardboard boxes H so they can be easily gripped by the robotic arm M. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a cardboard box sorting mechanism 9 is provided on the placement platform 1. This mechanism 9 includes a left push plate 90, a right push plate 91, and a side push plate 92. The left push plate 90 is connected to a left push plate power source 93 that drives its left and right movement. The right push plate 91 is connected to a right push plate power source 94 that drives its left and right movement. The side push plate 92 is connected to a side push plate power source 95 that drives its back and forth movement. Through the tapping action of the left push plate 90, right push plate 91, and side push plate 92, the cardboard boxes H after the cable ties H1 are removed are more neatly arranged, making it easier for the robotic arm M to grip them and place them neatly into the cardboard box compartment.
[0031] like Figure 8 As shown, the cutter 30 includes a fixed cutter 301 and a movable cutter 302. The cutter's power source can drive the fixed cutter 301 and the movable cutter 302 to cut each other (similar to scissors cutting). In this way, the fixed cutter 301 and the movable cutter 302 can cut the cable tie H1.
[0032] In order for the cable tie H1 to enter between the fixed cutter 301 and the movable cutter 302, such as Figure 8 As shown, the fixed cutter 301 is connected to the fixed cutter power source 303, which drives the fixed cutter 301 to move back and forth. The movable cutter 302 is located above the fixed cutter 301. The cutter power source can drive the movable cutter 302 to move up and down, while the cable tie suction nozzle 20 is located on one side of the movable cutter 302. When the cable tie H1 is picked up by the cable tie suction nozzle 20, the upper part of the cable tie H1 is below the movable cutter 302. Then, the fixed cutter power source 303 drives the fixed cutter 301 to move forward, so that the upper part of the cable tie H1 is above the fixed cutter 301. Thus, the upper part of the cable tie H1 is between the fixed cutter 301 and the movable cutter 302. Finally, the cutter power source can drive the movable cutter 302 to move downward, so that the fixed cutter 301 and the movable cutter 302 can cut the cable tie H1 tangentially.
