Description
A sleeve-shaped box packing device Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure generally relates to the field of sleeve and shaft production technology, and specifically to a sleeve and shaft packing device. Background Technology
[0002] Sleeves, as common mechanical transmission components, are widely used in automobiles, machine tools, precision instruments, and other fields. They are typically hollow cylindrical structures, requiring precision machining to ensure the concentricity of the inner hole and outer wall, as well as a smooth surface finish. In mass production, sleeves need to be quickly and neatly packed into boxes for transportation or storage after machining. However, the surface of sleeves is easily scratched or deformed by impact. Traditional manual packing is inefficient and cannot guarantee product quality, necessitating automated packing equipment to achieve efficient and damage-free packaging operations.
[0003] In existing automated carton packing equipment, the carton lids often lack effective limiting structures, causing them to fold inward under external force during the packing process, resulting in the lids partially or completely obstructing the packing opening. This necessitates stopping the equipment and manually adjusting the lid position, severely disrupting operational continuity and reducing production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This application provides a sleeve packing device, including:
[0033] A support frame 1 is provided with a tray base 2, and a finished product tray 3 is installed on the tray base 2. The finished product tray 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting slots 5 for placing finished product sleeves 4.
[0034] A transfer mechanism is installed on the support frame 1 and located on one side of the finished product tray 3. The transfer mechanism is used to grab the sleeve 4 in the mounting groove 5 and put it into the packaging box 11.
[0035] A capping mechanism is installed on the tray base 2. The capping mechanism includes a pair of first driving devices 6. A flipping shaft 7 is installed on the first driving device 6 and is used to drive the flipping shaft 7 to rotate around a first axis. The first axis is parallel to the top surface of the tray base 2. Limiting members 8 are respectively installed at both ends of the flipping shaft 7. The limiting members 8 are used to limit the inward flipping angle of the lid of the packaging box 11.
[0036] Specifically, the sleeve packing device is equipped with a matching electrical distribution box 30. The pallet base 2 is placed flat on the support frame 1 and fixedly connected to it. A finished product pallet 3 is placed on the pallet base 2, and the finished product pallet 3 is detachably connected to the pallet base 2. Multiple recessed mounting slots 5 are arranged on the finished product pallet 3. The processed sleeves 4 are neatly stacked on the finished product pallet 3. The recessed mounting slots 5 are used to improve the stability of the sleeves 4. When packing the sleeves 4, the packaging box 11 is placed on the support frame 1, and the sleeve 4 is picked up from the mounting slots 5 and placed into the packaging box 11 by a transfer mechanism. When the transfer mechanism places the sleeve 4 into the packaging box 11, to prevent the opening of the packaging box 11 from being blocked due to the flipping of the box lid, thus affecting packing efficiency, a capping mechanism is set to limit the flipping angle of the packaging box lid.
[0037] The capping mechanism includes two first driving devices 6, which are arranged on the pallet base 2 along a first direction parallel to the top surface of the pallet base 2. Each of the two first driving devices 6 is equipped with a flipping shaft 7, which is connected to the first driving device 6. The flipping shaft 7 extends along a second direction parallel to the top surface of the pallet base 2 and perpendicular to the first direction. The first driving device 6 can drive the flipping shaft 7 to rotate around a first axis, the direction of which is the same as the second direction. Each of the two flipping shafts 7 is equipped with two limiting members 8, for a total of four limiting members 8. The two limiting members 8 on the same flipping shaft 7 are fixed to both ends of the flipping shaft 7. When the first driving device 6 drives the flipping shaft 7 to rotate, it can drive the corresponding limiting member 8 to rotate. When the limiting member 8 rotates to a certain angle, it restricts the inward flipping angle of the box lid 11, preventing the box lid from obstructing the opening of the box 11, thereby improving the efficiency of the sleeve shaft 4 in packing. Optionally, the first driving device 6 is a drive motor.
[0038] Furthermore, the limiting member 8 includes a pressure plate 9 and a baffle 10. The pressure plate 9 is fixed to the radial side wall at the end of the flipping shaft 7, and the baffle 10 is disposed on one side of the pressure plate 9 and is perpendicular to the first axis.
[0039] Specifically, the surface of the pressure plate 9 is parallel to the second direction, and the pressure plate 9 is fixed to the flipping shaft 7. The baffle 10 is located on the side of the pressure plate 9 near the corresponding end of the flipping shaft 7. The baffle 10 is integrally formed with the pressure plate 9, and the surface of the baffle 10 is perpendicular to the surface of the pressure plate 9. When the limiting member 8 flips to a certain angle, the pressure plate 9 restricts the lids on the front and rear sides of the packaging box 11, and the baffle 10 restricts the lids on the left and right sides of the packaging box 11. By setting the limiting member 8 with the pressure plate 9 and the baffle 10, each limiting member 8 can limit the lids on the adjacent sides.
[0040] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism includes:
[0041] A transverse guide rail 16 extends in a direction parallel to the first axis, and a sliding seat 17 is slidably mounted on the transverse guide rail 16.
[0042] A movable rod 18 is slidably mounted on the sliding seat 17, and the sliding direction of the movable rod 18 is perpendicular to the top surface of the support plate 15.
[0043] A gripping component is mounted on the moving rod 18, and the gripping component can grip multiple sleeve shafts 4 simultaneously.
[0044] Specifically, the transverse guide rail 16 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 1 via the support base 25. The transverse guide rail 16 extends along the first direction. The sliding seat 17 is driven by the first driving member 26 to move along the transverse guide rail 16. The sliding seat 17 uses a snap-fit method to suspend the moving rod 18 on the support frame 1. The moving rod 18 is driven by the second driving member 27 to slide relative to the sliding seat 17. In this embodiment, the sliding direction of the moving rod 18 is the third direction, which is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. Through the cooperation of the transverse guide rail 16, the sliding seat 17, and the moving rod 18, the position of the gripping component can be adjusted in two degrees of freedom, thereby realizing the gripping and packing of the sleeve shaft 4.
[0045] Furthermore, the gripping component includes a mounting plate 19, which is mounted on the bottom end of the moving rod 18. A plurality of expansion sleeves 20 are arranged on the mounting plate 19. The expansion sleeves 20 are connected to the air supply device and are used to extend into the sleeve shaft 4 to grip the sleeve shaft 4.
[0046] Specifically, the mounting plate 19 is fixed to the end of the moving rod 18, and multiple expansion sleeves 20 are fixed on the mounting plate 19. The expansion sleeves 20 are connected to the air supply equipment. By inserting the expansion sleeves 20 into the sleeve shaft 4 and inflating them, the expansion sleeves 20 expand to grip the sleeve shaft 4. Gripping with the expansion sleeves 20 avoids damage to the processed sleeve shaft 4. In this embodiment, the number of expansion sleeves 20 on the mounting plate 19 is the same as the number of mounting slots 5 on the finished product tray 3 and they are arranged in the same way, so that all the sleeve shafts 4 on the finished product tray 3 can be gripped at one time, improving gripping efficiency.
[0047] Furthermore, the gripping assembly also includes an air distribution plate 21, which is installed on the side wall of the moving rod 18. Multiple air distribution components 22 are installed on the air distribution plate 21. The input end of the air distribution component 22 is connected to the air supply device, and the multiple output ends of the air distribution component 22 are connected to a set number of expansion sleeves 20.
[0048] Specifically, the air distribution plate 21 is equipped with multiple air distribution components 22. Each air distribution component 22 includes an input end and multiple output ends connected to the input end. The input end of the air distribution component 22 is connected to the air supply equipment via an air pipe, and each output end of the air distribution component 22 is connected to an expansion sleeve 20 via an air pipe. By setting multiple air distribution components 22, the number of air pipes supplying air from the air supply equipment to the expansion sleeve 20 can be reduced. This facilitates equipment assembly and avoids a large number of exposed air pipes, which would reduce the simplicity of the equipment's appearance.
[0049] Furthermore, it also includes a bracket mechanism, which includes a packing station and a retrieval station. The bracket mechanism is used to place the packaging box 11 and to drive the packaging box 11 to switch between the packing station and the retrieval station.
[0050] Specifically, the packaging box 11 is placed on the support frame 1 by a bracket mechanism. The bracket mechanism can switch between the packing station and the unpacking station. When packing is required, the bracket mechanism moves the packaging box 11 to the packing station, making it convenient for the transfer mechanism to pack the sleeve 4. When the packaging box 11 is full, the bracket mechanism moves the packaging box 11 to the unpacking station, making it convenient to remove the full packaging box 11 for packaging.
[0051] Furthermore, the bracket mechanism includes:
[0052] A transfer base 12 is fixed to the support frame 1. A guide rail 13 extending in a direction parallel to the first axis is provided on the top surface of the transfer base 12. The two ends of the guide rail 13 correspond to the packing station and the unpacking station, respectively. A slider 14 is slidably installed on the guide rail 13. A support plate 15 is fixedly installed on the slider 14.
[0053] The second driving device 28 is mounted on the base and connected to the support plate 15. The second driving device 28 is used to drive the support plate 15 to slide along the guide rail 13.
[0054] Specifically, the transfer base 12 is laid flat and fixed on the support frame 1, and its position is lower than that of the pallet base 2. A pair of guide rails 13 are provided on the top surface of the transfer base 12. The pair of guide rails 13 are arranged along a first direction and extend along a second direction. Two sliders 14 are slidably installed on each guide rail 13, and a total of four sliders 14 are provided. The four sliders 14 support the support plate 15, so that the support plate 15 can move along the guide rails 13. The second drive device 28 is installed at one end of the guide rail 13. The free end of the second drive device 28 is fixed to the support plate 15. The support plate 15 is driven by the second drive device 28 to move along the guide rail 13, thereby switching the support plate 15 between the packing station and the unpacking station. Optionally, the second drive device 28 is a cylinder.
[0055] Furthermore, fiber optic testing equipment 23 is installed on both sides of the finished product tray 3, and the fiber optic testing equipment 23 is used to detect the number of sleeves 4 on the finished product tray 3.
[0056] Specifically, the fiber optic testing equipment 23 has a fiber optic transmission port corresponding to each column of mounting slots 5. When a sleeve 4 is placed in the mounting slot 5, the fiber optic bundle 29 is emitted to the sleeve 4, and the number of sleeves 4 in the corresponding column is detected according to the return time of the fiber optic bundle 29. Then, the total number of sleeves 4 on the finished product tray 3 is detected. By detecting the number of sleeves 4, the finished product tray 3 can be monitored to see if it is full. The detection by the fiber optic testing equipment 23 is the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0057] Furthermore, the top surface of the support plate 15 is provided with four corners for fixing boxes 24.
[0058] Specifically, by providing packaging box fixing feet 24 on the support plate 15, the stability of the packaging box 11 when placed can be improved.
[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in this application is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept.
