Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cartoning machine technology, and in particular to a cartoning machine feeding stabilization mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The feeding mechanism of the vertical cartoning machine is a core module designed specifically for automated packaging of upright paper boxes. Its technical characteristics differ significantly from those of the horizontal cartoning machine, and it needs to solve special problems such as the stability of the upright paper box and accurate positioning under the influence of gravity.
[0003] Cardboard boxes have a high center of gravity when upright, making them prone to tipping over during transport (especially high aspect ratio boxes, such as toothpaste boxes and bottled cosmetic boxes).
[0004] When the equipment is running at high speed, the suction cup repeatedly and slightly bumps against the upper hopper cardboard box, causing the cardboard box to tilt, which affects the suction, unloading and box forming effect.
[0005] In the existing technology, the feeding mechanism of the vertical cartoning machine has the following technical defects under high-speed operation conditions:
[0006] 1. Interference between the suction cup assembly and the material bin:
[0007] During continuous operation, the suction cup actuator may cause an unexpected mechanical collision with the cardboard box to be picked up in the material bin, resulting in rigid contact between the moving parts and the material.
[0008] 2. Material silo stability defects:
[0009] The stacked cardboard boxes in the material warehouse are prone to positional shifts under dynamic operating conditions, specifically manifested as follows:
[0010] - Tilting phenomenon of single product
[0011] - Overall stacking instability and collapse
[0012] 3. Impact on system operational reliability:
[0013] The aforementioned defects lead to a decrease in overall equipment operating efficiency (OEE), with specific impact dimensions including:
[0014] - Reduced equipment uptime
[0015] - Production cycle stability is compromised
[0016] - Fluctuations in product qualification rate.
[0017] This technological bottleneck restricts the performance of the equipment under high-speed operating conditions. Utility Model Content

One end of the sliding plate is fixedly connected to the baffle, and the baffle is a horizontal sheet.
[0019] Preferably, there are two right and two left retaining bars.
[0020] Preferably, the base is a long rod, with its two ends located on two connecting seats on one side.
[0021] Preferably, the slide plate is composed of upper and lower rings of different thicknesses, with the same inner diameter. The upper thicker ring has evenly distributed circular holes. One end of the baffle has a circular hole at its center, and the end with the circular hole is fitted onto the lower thinner ring. The baffle has circular holes corresponding to the circular holes on the slide plate. The baffle and the slide plate are connected by bolts.
[0022] Preferably, the baffle and the slide are welded together.

[0030] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] In the prior art, the carton rack mechanism of the vertical cartoning machine includes six baffles: right baffle 3, front baffle 4, left baffle 5, and rear baffle 6. The right baffle 3, front baffle 4, left baffle 5, and rear baffle 6 are connected to the rack 1 via a connecting seat 2. The rack 1 is a rectangular frame structure, and the connecting seat 2 is a right angle. The horizontal part of the connecting seat 2 is provided with a first adjustment groove 12, and the side of the rack 1 is provided with a second adjustment groove 13. The connecting seat 2 and the rack 1 are connected by bolts (not shown in the figure). In this way, the right baffle 3, front baffle 4, left baffle 5, and rear baffle 6 can all be adjusted to their front-back, left-right, and right-side positions.
[0032] Adjustment of the carton feeder mechanism: Adjust the extension lines of the two right-side guide rails to maintain a distance of 1mm from the feeding plate (not shown in the figure). Adjust the gap between the right-side and left-side guide rails according to the unfolded width of the carton.
[0033] The cardboard box rack mechanism is positioned directly above the two support brackets. A lifting cylinder is located directly below the cardboard box rack mechanism. The lifting cylinder drives multiple vacuum suction cups upwards to lift and open the cardboard boxes from the cardboard box rack mechanism onto the two support brackets. Vacuum suction cups of different sizes should be used for different cardboard boxes. The cardboard box rack mechanism, lifting cylinder, and vacuum suction cups constitute the box-opening mechanism; this part is common knowledge in the field, so no example diagram is provided.
[0034] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the feeding stabilization mechanism of the cartoning machine of this utility model includes a baffle 8, a sliding column 9, a base 10, and a sliding plate 11.
[0035] The base 10 is a long rod-shaped structure, located near a right angle on the horizontal part of the connecting seat 2, and perpendicular to the horizontal part of the connecting seat 2. The sliding column 9 is vertically mounted on the base 10, and a sliding plate 11 is fitted onto the sliding column 9. The sliding plate 11 is flange-shaped, composed of upper and lower rings of different thicknesses, with the same inner diameter, and is used to fit over the sliding column 9. The sliding column 9 is made of 304 stainless steel round steel (GB / T 1220-2007) with a diameter of 8mm. The sliding column 9 is smooth and not easy to rust. The upper thicker ring has evenly distributed round holes for connecting the baffle 8. The baffle 8 is a horizontal plate-shaped structure with a round hole at the center of one end. One end of the baffle 8 is fitted onto the lower thinner ring. The baffle 8 has round holes corresponding to the round holes on the sliding plate 11. The baffle 8 and the sliding plate 11 are connected by bolts, or the baffle 8 and the sliding plate 11 can be welded together.
[0036] This invention optimizes the stability of the carton hopper in a vertical cartoning machine by adding an adaptive floating pressing mechanism to achieve dynamic and stable control of the carton operation process.
[0037] This invention employs a specially designed baffle structure, which utilizes its own weight to generate a constant downward pressure, and can automatically adjust the pressing position according to changes in the stacking height of the materials.
[0038] The sliding column is made of 304 stainless steel round bar with a diameter of 8mm (GB / T 1220-2007), which is not easy to rust and supports quick positioning of the baffle.
[0039] The baffle generates a constant downward pressure using its own weight, and the total weight of the baffle and the slide plate 11 is preferably 0.5-1.2N.
[0040] In the existing technology, during the high-speed operation of the equipment, the repeated slight collisions between the suction cup and the upper hopper cardboard box can easily cause the cardboard box to tilt, which in turn affects the stability of key processes such as suction box, unloading box and box forming, and reduces the overall production efficiency.
[0041] This invention improves the positioning accuracy of paper boxes, significantly increasing the box forming qualification rate; eliminates the frequency of machine downtime for adjusting tilted paper boxes, thus comprehensively improving the overall equipment efficiency (OEE); and features durable structural components with low maintenance costs, contributing to the continuous and stable operation of the production line.
