[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] See Figure 1-7 A waste removal device for a cartoning machine includes two symmetrically arranged guide plates 1, which are respectively positioned in front of baffles 3 on both sides of the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2. A finished product conveyor belt 4 is located at the front end of the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2. A transition conveyor roller is provided between the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2 and the finished product conveyor belt 4. The ends of the two guide plates 1 away from the finished product conveyor belt 4 are respectively inclined towards the opposite baffles 3 to facilitate guiding the packaging boxes 9. Adjustment components 5 for adjusting the distance between the guide plates 1 are respectively provided on the outer side of the two baffles 3. The design of the adjustment components 5 allows for pre-adjustment of the distance between the two guide plates 1 according to the width of the packaging boxes 9. A blocking component 6 is provided between the two baffles 3 on the front side of the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2 to block the forward movement of the packaging boxes 9. A waste discharge chute 7 is connected to the baffle 3 on one side of the blocking component 6. A waste pushing component 8 is provided on the side of the blocking component 6 away from the finished product conveyor belt 4. An infrared detector 10 is provided on the guide plate 1 on the side of the waste pushing component 8 away from the blocking component 6. The infrared detector 10, the control element of the blocking component 6, and the control element of the waste pushing component 8 are respectively connected to the control system.

[0024] The preferred blocking component 6 includes a lifting cylinder 601, a connecting block 602, a connecting rod 603, and a blocking plate 604. There are two lifting cylinders 601, which are vertically mounted on the cartoning machine frame 11 outside the two baffles 3. The connecting block 602 is horizontally mounted between the output ends of the two lifting cylinders 601. There are two connecting rods 603, which are vertically connected to the lower surface of the connecting block 602. The blocking plate 604 is vertically mounted at the lower end of the two connecting rods 603, and the lower end face of the blocking plate 604 is located on the upper side of the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2. The design of the blocking component 6 facilitates the limiting and blocking of the packaging box 9 during inspection. In use, when the packaging box 9 is close to the end of the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2, the two lifting cylinders 601 are activated, which pull the blocking plate 604 downward, so that the lower end face of the blocking plate 604 is close to the upper side of the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2, thereby blocking the packaging box 9.

[0025] The preferred waste pushing component 8 includes a mounting frame 801, a pushing cylinder 802, a push rod 803, and a push plate 804. The mounting frame 801 is mounted on the top of two baffles 3. The pushing cylinder 802 is mounted on the mounting frame 801, and its output end is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2. The push rod 803 is vertically connected to the output end of the pushing cylinder 802. The push plate 804 is vertically connected to the end of the push rod 803, and the push plate 804 is attached to a baffle 3. In use, when the infrared detector 10 detects that the packaging box 9 is unqualified, the pushing cylinder 802 is activated, which pulls the push rod 803 and the push plate 804 toward the waste discharge chute 7, so that the waste packaging box 9 can be discharged from the waste discharge chute 7.

[0026] The preferred baffle 3 has a groove 12 on its side wall suitable for placing the push plate 804. The push plate 804 and the baffle 3 are located on the same plane. The groove 12 is more conducive to the conveying of the packaging box 9.

[0027] The preferred adjustment assembly 5 includes a mounting block 501, a positioning rod 502, an adjustment rod 503, an adjustment sleeve 504, and an L-shaped locking rod 505. The mounting block 501 is detachably mounted on the side of the cartoning machine frame 11 by bolts. The positioning rod 502 is vertically mounted on the mounting block 501. The adjustment sleeve 504 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the positioning rod 502. The positioning rod 502 passes horizontally through the adjustment sleeve 504 and the baffle 3 and is fixedly connected to the guide plate 1. The adjustment sleeve 504 has a threaded hole horizontally opened on it, which is connected to the adjustment rod 503. The outer side of one end of the L-shaped locking rod 505 has an external thread suitable for the threaded hole. In use, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two guide plates 1, the L-shaped locking rod 505 is moved to loosen the adjustment rod 503, and the guide plate 1 is pushed or pulled to move. After adjustment, the L-shaped locking rod 505 is moved so that its end presses against the adjustment rod 503 to fix it.

[0028] The top of the preferred waste discharge chute 7 is connected to a protective cover 13, wherein the design of the protective cover 13 is to prevent the packaging box 9 from scattering when it is discharged.

[0029] The preferred control system includes a controller, and the infrared detector 10, the lifting cylinder 601 and the pushing cylinder 802 are respectively connected to the controller via signal lines.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two guide plates 1, the L-shaped locking rod 505 is moved to loosen the adjusting rod 503, and the guide plate 1 is pushed or pulled to move. After adjustment, the L-shaped locking rod 505 is moved so that its end presses against the adjusting rod 503 to fix it. When the packaging box 9 is conveyed from the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2 into the entry section and reaches the end section, the two lifting cylinders 601 are activated, which pull the blocking plate 604 downward, so that the lower end of the blocking plate 604 is close to the upper side of the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2 to block the packaging box 9. At this time, the infrared detector 10 detects the packaging. At the end of box 9, when the infrared detector 10 cannot illuminate the guide plate 1 on the opposite side, it can be determined that the packaging box 9 is unqualified. At this time, the push cylinder 802 is activated, which pulls the push rod 803 and the push plate 804 towards the waste discharge chute 7, so that the waste packaging box 9 can be discharged from the waste discharge chute 7. When the infrared detector 10 detects that the packaging box 9 is qualified, the lifting cylinder 601 pushes the blocking plate 604 away from the cartoning machine conveyor belt 2 so that the packaging box 9 can pass through and continue to be conveyed through the finished product conveyor belt 4, thereby realizing the automatic detection and rejection of packaging box caps and saving manpower.
