Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of packing machines, specifically to an integrated short-corner automatic feeding and arrow-threading packing machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the packaging industry, short corner protectors, as an important packaging material for protecting the edges and corners of products, are widely used in the transportation and storage of various products. The packaging of short corner protectors plays a crucial role in product protection and transportation; however, the current packaging operation of short corner protectors faces many challenges.
[0003] Existing short corner protector packaging methods mostly rely on manual operation, making it impossible to achieve an integrated process of automated positioning, feeding, and packaging. Manual feeding is not only inefficient but also prone to inaccurate positioning. In large-scale production, the speed of manual feeding falls far short of production demands, requiring pauses and waiting times for each feeding, resulting in long intervals and low efficiency. For example, in furniture manufacturing companies, a large number of pieces of furniture require packaging with short corner protectors; the slow speed of manual feeding severely impacts the overall packaging progress, leading to product backlogs and extended delivery cycles.
[0004] Meanwhile, inaccurate manual positioning can lead to significant deviations in the position of the short corner protectors during packaging, preventing them from fitting tightly to the product's edges and corners and reducing their protective effect. Furthermore, the inconsistent force and method of manual packaging can cause some short corner protectors to loosen and detach during transportation, failing to effectively protect the product.
[0005] Furthermore, manual operations increase labor costs for businesses. With rising labor costs, the cost pressure of manual packaging is becoming increasingly significant. Moreover, repetitive manual tasks can easily lead to fatigue, further impacting work quality and efficiency.
[0006] With the increasing demands for packaging efficiency and quality across industries, the development of an integrated machine capable of automatically positioning short corner protectors and automating feeding and packaging is urgently needed. This equipment not only improves packaging efficiency and reduces labor costs, but also ensures accurate positioning of short corner protectors and high-quality packaging, effectively protecting products, enhancing a company's market competitiveness, and meeting the demands of modern production for high efficiency and automation.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates an embodiment of the present disclosure of an automatic short-corner guard feeding, arrow-piercing, and packaging machine, comprising:
[0037] The packaging machine body 1 and the base plate 2 are fixed to the side surface of the packaging machine body 1.
[0038] The movable seat 3 and the feeding and positioning component 4 are provided. The movable seat 3 is mounted on the packaging machine, and the feeding and positioning component 4 is mounted on the movable seat 3 and the base plate 2.
[0039] The feeding assembly 5 is disposed on the base plate 2;
[0040] The feeding and positioning assembly 4 includes a pair of telescopic cylinders 4-1, which are disposed at both ends of the surface of the movable seat 3. A main frame 4-2 and a secondary frame 4-3 are respectively disposed at the output ends of the pair of telescopic cylinders 4-1. Drive motors 5-14-4 are disposed at both ends of the side surfaces of the main frame 4-2 and the secondary frame 4-3. Movable frames 4-5 are rotatably connected to both ends of the main frame 4-2 and the secondary frame 4-3 via pins. The movable frames 4-5 are connected to the output ends of the drive motors 5-14-4. A long groove 4-6 is formed on the surface of the base plate 2, and a drive screw 4-7 is disposed within the long groove 4-6. Both sides are provided with slide rails 4-8. The movable seat 3 is slidably connected to the slide rails 4-8. The movable seat 3 is connected to the drive screw 4-7 by a threaded engagement. One end of the surface of the base plate 2 is provided with a mounting platform 4-9. The surface of the mounting platform 4-9 is provided with a positioning plate 4-10. A pair of movable rods 4-11 are movably fitted to the side surface of the mounting platform 4-9. One end of the movable rod 4-11 is provided with a connecting plate 4-12. A spring 4-13 is fitted on each of the movable rods 4-11. The other end of the movable rod 4-11 is connected to a positioning frame 4-14. Both ends of the surface of the positioning frame 4-14 are provided with clamping blocks 4-15.
[0041] In some examples, during the automatic feeding, arrow-piercing, and packaging operation of short corner protectors, a feeding and positioning component 4 is designed to achieve pre-assembly and precise positioning of the short corner protectors so that the main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3 can smoothly pick up materials and quickly pack them. This component includes a pair of telescopic cylinders 4-1 set at both ends of the surface of the movable seat 3. Their output ends are connected to the main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3 respectively. Through the telescopic movement of the telescopic cylinders 4-1, the positions of the main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3 can be adjusted to facilitate the gripping of the short corner protectors. Drives are set at both ends of the side surfaces of the main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3. The drive motor 5-14-4 is connected to the movable frame 4-5, which is rotatably connected at both ends via pins. After the drive motor 5-14-4 is started, it can drive the movable frame 4-5 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle and posture of gripping the short corner protector. It can fully compress the short corner protector according to its length, and can also be controlled by the drive motor 5-14-4 to rotate outward to avoid the packaging position. The drive screw 4-7 set in the long groove 4-6 opened on the surface of the base plate 2 and the slide rails 4-8 on both sides constitute the moving mechanism of the movable seat 3. The movable seat 3 is slidably connected to the slide rails 4-8 and connected to the drive motor 4-5. The screw 4-7 is connected by a threaded connection. When the screw 4-7 is driven to rotate, the movable seat 3 can move along the slide rail 4-8 on the base plate 2, realizing the movement of the main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3 between different positions for material handling. The mounting platform 4-9 is set at one end of the surface of the base plate 2. The positioning plate 4-10 on its surface is used to position the horizontally stacked short corner protectors. A pair of movable rods 4-11 are movably connected to the side surface of the mounting platform 4-9. Springs 4-13 are installed on the rods. The positioning frame 4-14 is connected to one end of the movable rods 4-11 and the two surfaces of the positioning frame 4-14 are... The clamping blocks 4-15 at the end together form the positioning structure. The corner protectors are placed flat and stacked between the two clamping blocks 4-15. The clamping blocks 4-15 are used for limiting and keeping the placed corner protectors in a neat state. When the main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3 approach each other, they will first fit against the two sides of the placed corner protectors. Continuing to move will push the positioning frame 4-14 outward. The movable rod 4-11 slides in coordination, so that the clamping blocks 4-15 can completely disengage from the corner protectors and can then be removed. The elasticity of the spring 4-13 is used to help the positioning frame 4-14 reset, which is convenient for subsequent material handling and packaging operations.
[0042] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the feeding assembly 5 in this embodiment includes a second motor, which is installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 2. The output end of the second motor is provided with a support plate 5-2. The surface of the support plate 5-2 is provided with a stepped groove 5-3. A pair of second cylinders 5-4 are installed in the stepped groove 5-3. The output end of the second cylinders 5-4 is provided with a pressure plate 5-5. The bottom surface of the pressure plate 5-5 is provided with a blocking plate 5-6.
[0043] In some examples, after the short corner protectors are packaged, a feeding assembly 5 is designed to facilitate the removal of the packaged short corner protectors. This assembly includes a second motor installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 2. The output end of the motor is provided with a support plate 5-2 to support the packaged short corner protectors. A pair of second cylinders 5-4 are installed in the stepped groove 5-3 on the surface of the support plate 5-2. The output end of the cylinders is connected to a pressure plate 5-5 and a blocking plate 5-6 on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 5-5. After packaging, the corner protector will move over and place one end on the surface of the support plate 5-2 and fit against it. The blocking plate 5-6 on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 5-5 and the pressure plate 5-5 press the corner protector firmly onto the support plate 5-2. After the moving seat 3 is reset, the short corner protector can be completely separated from the moving seat 3. The second motor drives the support plate 5-2 to rotate to the other side. After being released, the corner protector can fall downwards for easy removal.
[0044] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pair of clamping blocks 4-15 correspond to the positions of the main frame 4-2 and the sub-frame 4-3, and the pair of clamping blocks 4-15 have the same external structure as the main frame 4-2 and the sub-frame 4-3, respectively.
[0045] In some examples, by using corresponding positions, it is ensured that the corner protectors can be accurately grabbed and clamped by the main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3 after pre-fixing, which facilitates automatic feeding.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the length of the positioning plate 4-10 is lower than the interval between the main frame 4-2 and the sub-frame 4-3.
[0047] In some examples, by using a lower interval to avoid the length of the positioning plate 4-10, the movement paths of the main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3 can be effectively avoided.
[0048] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the movable frame 4-5 can rotate 90° outward.
[0049] In some examples, by rotating the frame 4-5 around the packing location, the individual corner protectors can be avoided from being too short.
[0050] In actual use: First, place the short corner protectors horizontally between the two clamping blocks 4-15 of the mounting platform 4-9. Start the drive screw 4-7 to move the movable seat 3 along the slide rail 4-8. The main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3 approach the short corner protectors. The telescopic cylinder 4-1 pushes the main frame 4-2 and the auxiliary frame 4-3 to fit the short corner protectors. The movable seat 3 moves to the packing position for packing. After reaching the position, the drive motor 5-14-4 drives the movable frame 4-5 to rotate. After the two ends are bundled and packed, move the corner protectors to the surface of the pallet 5-2. The second cylinder 5-4 pulls down the pressure plate 5-5 and the blocking plate 5-6 to press the short corner protectors. After clamping, the movable seat 3 resets. The second motor drives the pallet 5-2 to rotate 180°. After releasing, the short corner protectors fall downwards.
[0051] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
