Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] This utility model discloses a robotic packing fixture device for cardboard box assembly.

[0032] Example 1: According to the appendix Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a clamping unit 1, and a robotic arm 2 is provided on one side of the clamping unit 1. The clamping unit 1 includes:

[0033] First frame 11;

[0034] The second frame 12 is disposed on one side of the first frame 11;

[0035] Rotation component 13 is disposed between the first frame 11 and the second frame 12;

[0036] Multiple suction cups 16 are provided and are respectively mounted on the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. The robotic arm 2 moves the clamping unit 1 above the large cardboard box, aligning the suction cups 16 with the surface of the box. Then, the suction cups 16 are activated, and the cardboard box is adsorbed onto the suction cups 16 of the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 through the principle of vacuum adsorption. The clamping unit 1, through the design of the rotating component 13 and multiple suction cups 16, can adapt to large cardboard boxes of different sizes and shapes, has a certain degree of versatility, and can meet the packaging needs of different products.

[0037] Furthermore, the fixture unit 1 also includes:

[0038] Cylinder 14 is mounted on the first frame 11;

[0039] Connecting rod 15, one end of which is fixedly connected to the first frame 11.

[0040] Furthermore, extension rods 121 are fixedly connected to both sides of the second frame 12.

[0041] Furthermore, the end of the extension rod 121 is connected to the suction cup 16.

[0042] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 13 includes;

[0043] The first hinge 131, one end of which is fixedly connected to the first frame 11;

[0044] The second hinge 132, one end of which is fixedly connected to the second frame 12;

[0045] The rotating shaft 133 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first hinge seat 131, and the rotating shaft 133 is rotatably connected to the other end of the second hinge seat 132.

[0046] Furthermore, one end of the cylinder 14 is rotatably connected to the first frame 11.

[0047] Furthermore, the output end of cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 133. When the angle needs to be adjusted during carton stacking, cylinder 14 starts to work. One end of cylinder 14 is rotatably connected to the first frame 11, and the output end is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 133. When cylinder 14 extends or retracts, it drives the rotating shaft 133 to rotate. Since the rotating shaft 133 is rotatably connected to the first hinge seat 131 and the second hinge seat 132, and the first hinge seat 131 is fixed to the first frame 11 and the second hinge seat 132 is fixed to the second frame 12, the second frame 12 rotates relative to the first frame 11 around the rotating shaft 133, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the clamping unit 1 to adapt to cartons of different shapes or stacking requirements.

[0048] Example 2: According to the appendix Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a clamping unit 1, and a robotic arm 2 is provided on one side of the clamping unit 1. The clamping unit 1 includes:

[0049] First frame 11;

[0050] The second frame 12 is disposed on one side of the first frame 11;

[0051] Rotation component 13 is disposed between the first frame 11 and the second frame 12;

[0052] Suction cup 16, multiple suction cups 16 are provided, and multiple suction cups 16 are respectively installed on the first frame 11 and the second frame 12.

[0053] Furthermore, the other end of the connecting rod 15 is mounted on the robotic arm 2. The robotic arm 2 moves the gripper unit 1, which holds the cartons, to the product packing position, slowly lowers the cartons, completes the packing operation, closes the suction cup 16, separating the cartons from the suction cup 16, and the robotic arm 2 moves the gripper unit 1 back to its initial position, ready for the next carton gripping and packing operation. Through the cooperation of the robot and the gripper unit 1, automated gripping and packing of large cartons is achieved. Compared with traditional manual operation, this greatly shortens the packing time, increases the production cycle and capacity of the production line, and meets the demands of modern industrial production for high-efficiency production.
