Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of paper box production technology, specifically relating to an automatic material receiving and sorting mechanism for a paper box production line. Background Technology
[0002] Utility model patent CN221777214U discloses an automatic material receiving and sorting mechanism for a paper box production line, belonging to the field of paper box production technology. It includes a production line belt conveyor, with electric cylinders symmetrically fixed on both sides of the receiving end of the belt conveyor, and palletizing plates symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the receiving end of the belt conveyor. This application uses sensors to detect when a processed cardboard falls to the receiving end of the belt conveyor. Two electric cylinders drive two palletizing plates to move towards each other, touching the cardboard and arranging it neatly. Each time a cardboard falls, the above steps are repeated to achieve the desired palletizing and sorting effect, resulting in high work efficiency. Furthermore, by unscrewing the bakelite screw from the threaded hole and then vertically pulling the heightening plate to adjust the position of the heightening rod inside the chute, and then screwing the bakelite screw into another threaded hole, the palletizing plate can be heightened. The palletizing amount can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.
[0003] However, the above-mentioned mechanism has the following problems: In order to achieve the stacking of cardboard, two electric cylinders are used to drive the palletizing plate to move simultaneously. On the one hand, this method requires simultaneous control of the synchronous extension and retraction of the two electric cylinders, which is costly. On the other hand, since cardboard of different widths and specifications in different batches is being stacked, the extension and retraction length of the electric cylinders needs to be adjusted in a complex manner. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic material receiving and sorting mechanism for a paper box production line, which solves the problems of high cost and complex debugging associated with the existing method of using two electric cylinders for positioning during paperboard conveying and palletizing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic material receiving and sorting mechanism for a paper box production line, comprising a conveyor, a positioning component at one end of the conveyor, the positioning component including a main frame and an electric push rod, the main frame being sleeved on top of one end of the conveyor, and the two ends of the main frame connecting to the two sides of the conveyor, two sets of strip grooves being formed through the same axis of the main frame, and the strip grooves being connected to a limiting component, the limiting component including a connecting plate and a limit switch, the connecting plate being slidably fitted into the strip grooves, and a limit switch being fixed on one side of each of the two sets of connecting plates, a linear guide rail assembly being installed on the main frame, the linear guide rail assembly including a first linear guide rail, and a... The second linear guide rail has guide sliders slidably mounted at both ends of the first and second linear guide rails. Two sets of guide sliders slidably mounted on the second linear guide rail are connected to sliding plates, and the two sets of sliding plates are arranged opposite each other. The sliding plates are connected to a linkage mechanism, which includes a connecting seat one, a connecting rod one, a connecting rod two, and a connecting seat two. Four sets of guide sliders connect connecting seat one and connecting seat two. Two sets of connecting rod one are mirror-arranged on opposite sides of one end of the two sets of connecting seat one, with the center line of connecting seat one as the axis. One end of the connecting rod one is connected to connecting seat two, and a limiting plate is fixed to one side of one set of connecting seat two. The limiting plate is connected to an electric actuator, which is connected to the main frame through a mounting base.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by quickly adjusting the installation position of the two limit switches, the telescopic length of the electric push rod can be quickly positioned, and the debugging is simple; the linkage structure combined with the use of linear guide rails enables a single electric push rod to drive two sliding plates to move stably for efficient stacking.
[0007] To make the guide slider slide more stably;
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the first linear guide rail and the second linear guide rail are arranged in a cross shape on the side of the main frame facing the conveyor, and the intersection of the first linear guide rail and the second linear guide rail is connected to the main frame.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the first and second linear guides can make the guide slider slide more stably.
[0010] To ensure the stable movement of the sliding plate;
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the two sets of guide sliders slidably disposed at both ends of the first linear guide rail are connected to the first connecting seat, and the two sets of guide sliders slidably disposed at both ends of the second linear guide rail are connected to the second connecting seat. The first connecting seat is configured as an L-shape, and the bottom end of the guide slider is fixedly connected to the horizontal surface of the first connecting seat, and the sliding plate is connected to the vertical surface of the first connecting seat.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the controller drives the electric push rod to push one of the connecting seats 2. The pushed connecting seat 2 causes the guide slider to slide on the outside of the first linear guide rail. The sliding of the connecting seat 2 causes the two sets of connecting seats 1 to slide relative to each other through the connecting rod 1. At this time, the sliding plate connected to the connecting seat 1 can move relative to each other. The set guide slider makes the sliding plate move stably for efficient stacking.
[0013] In order to quickly adjust the extension length of the electric actuator by using a limit switch;
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the contact of the limit switch faces the second linear guide rail, and the guide slider opens the limit switch.
[0015] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that when the guide slider slides, it will press the limit switch after sliding to the designated position.
[0016] In order to achieve positioning detection of the cardboard;
[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a photoelectric switch is provided on one side of the main frame.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the cardboard is conveyed from the direction of the positioning component to the direction of the photoelectric switch. After the photoelectric switch detects the cardboard, the conveyor stops running, and the positioning component works to position the cardboard.
[0019] To automate the operation of the device;
[0020] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a controller is provided on one side of the main frame, and the controller includes a microcontroller, a relay, and a control switch. The controller is electrically connected to a photoelectric switch, an electric actuator, and a limit switch.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: after the photoelectric switch detects the cardboard, the controller electrically controls the operation of the electric actuator, and the limit switch can control the extension and retraction stop of the electric actuator.
[0022] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 4: An automatic material receiving and sorting mechanism for a paper box production line includes a conveyor 1. A positioning component 2 is provided at one end of the conveyor 1, and the positioning component 2 includes a main frame 4 and an electric push rod 5. The main frame 4 is fitted onto one end of the conveyor 1, and both ends of the main frame 4 are connected to the two sides of the conveyor 1. Two sets of strip grooves 41 are formed along the same axis of the main frame 4, and the strip grooves 41 are connected to a limiting component 9. The limiting component 9 includes a connecting plate 91 and a limit switch 92. The connecting plate 91 is slidably fitted into each strip groove 41. A limit switch 92 is fixed on one side of each of the two sets of connecting plates 91. A linear guide rail assembly 8 is installed on the main frame 4. The linear guide rail assembly 8 includes a first linear guide rail 81 and a second linear guide rail 82. 2. Guide sliders are slidably provided at both ends of the first linear guide rail 81 and the second linear guide rail 82. Two sets of guide sliders slidably provided on the second linear guide rail 82 are connected to sliding plates 7, and the two sets of sliding plates 7 are arranged opposite to each other. The sliding plates 7 are connected to a linkage mechanism 6. The linkage mechanism 6 includes a connecting seat 61, a connecting rod 62, a connecting rod 63, and a connecting seat 64. Four sets of guide sliders connect the connecting seat 61 and the connecting seat 64. Two sets of connecting rods 62 are mirror-arranged on opposite sides of the two sets of connecting seats 61 with the center line of the connecting seat 61 as the axis. One end of the connecting rod 62 is connected to the connecting seat 64, and a limiting plate is fixed on one side of one set of connecting seats 64. The limiting plate is connected to an electric actuator 5. The electric actuator 5 is installed via... The base is connected to the main frame 4. The installation position of the two limit switches allows for quick positioning of the electric push rod's extension length, simplifying debugging. The linkage structure, combined with linear guides, enables a single electric push rod to drive two sliding plates for stable and efficient stacking. The first linear guide 81 and the second linear guide 82 are arranged in a cross shape on the side of the main frame 4 facing the conveyor 1. The intersection of the first linear guide 81 and the second linear guide 82 connects to the main frame 4. The first linear guide 81 and the second linear guide 82 ensure more stable sliding of the guide sliders. The two sets of guide sliders slidably mounted at both ends of the first linear guide 81 are connected to the connecting base 61, and the two sets of guide sliders slidably mounted at both ends of the second linear guide 82 are connected to the connecting base 61. Connector 2 64, the connecting seat 1 61 is set in L shape, and the bottom end of the connecting guide slider is fixed on the horizontal surface of the connecting seat 1 61, and the sliding plate 7 is connected to the vertical surface of the connecting seat 1 61; the controller 10 drives the electric push rod 5 to push one of the connecting seats 2 64, and the pushed connecting seat 2 64 drives the guide slider to slide on the outside of the first linear guide rail 81. The sliding of the connecting seat 2 64 slides the two sets of connecting seats 1 61 relative to each other through the connecting rod 1 62. At this time, the sliding plate 7 connected to the connecting seat 1 61 can move relative to each other. The set guide slider makes the sliding plate 7 move stably for efficient stacking. The contact of the limit switch 92 faces the second linear guide rail 82, and the guide slider opens the limit switch 92;When the guide slider slides, it will press the limit switch 92 after sliding to the designated position. A photoelectric switch 3 is provided on one side of the main frame 4. The cardboard is conveyed from the direction of the positioning component 2 to the direction of the photoelectric switch 3. After the photoelectric switch 3 detects the cardboard, the conveyor 1 stops running, and the positioning component 2 operates to position the cardboard. A controller 10 is provided on one side of the main frame 4, and the controller 10 includes a microcontroller, a relay, and a control switch. The controller 10 is electrically connected to the photoelectric switch 3, the electric push rod 5, and the limit switch 92. After the photoelectric switch 3 detects the cardboard, the controller 10 electrically controls the electric push rod 5 to run, and the limit switch 92 can control the extension and retraction stop of the electric push rod 5.
[0031] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: Conveyor 1 conveys the cardboard, causing it to move from the direction of positioning component 2 towards the direction of photoelectric switch 3. When photoelectric switch 3 detects the cardboard, controller 10 electrically controls electric push rod 5 to move, which in turn pushes one of the connecting seats 64. The pushed connecting seat 64 causes the guide slider to slide on the outside of the first linear guide rail 81. The sliding of connecting seat 64 causes the two sets of connecting seats 61 to slide relative to each other through connecting rod 62. At this time, the sliding plate 7 connected to the connecting seat 61 can move relative to each other. The guide slider allows the sliding plate 7 to move stably for efficient stacking. When the guide slider slides and presses the contact of limit switch 92, electric push rod 5 extends and resets until the guide slider slides and presses the contact of another limit switch 92. Then, conveyor 1 continues to transport the stacked cardboard.
