Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hot pot base packaging equipment, and more specifically, to a box feeding mechanism for a packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] The small-piece hot pot base design makes it easier to control the amount used each time. Each piece is individually packaged, making it convenient to carry and easy to store, suitable for family use. The packaging process involves first individually sealing the small pieces of hot pot base, then assembling the sealed hot pot base into a plastic box, and finally placing the plastic box into a bag and sealing it.

[0003] Currently, when packing individually packaged hot pot base into boxes, workers need to place multiple boxes in a designated location, then use a suction mechanism to lift the hot pot base and move it above the box. Finally, the vacuum suction cup is moved downwards to pack the hot pot base into the box. Workers need to remove and arrange the boxes one by one, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a box feeding mechanism for a packaging machine, which can automatically take out the packaging boxes one by one and place them in a designated position to facilitate the subsequent boxing of hot pot base.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a box feeding mechanism for a packaging machine, comprising: a frame, on which a conveyor is arranged along its own length; multiple sets of placement components, all of which are arranged above the conveyor, each placement component including a frame, the top of which is provided with a blocking component, and the bottom of which is provided with a limiting component for limiting the position of the packaging box; and a suction box component, which is arranged at the bottom of the frame and is capable of adsorbing the packaging box located at the bottom.

[0006] Furthermore, the blocking component includes at least four pillars, each of which is vertically positioned on the top of the frame, with at least two pillars located on both sides of the packaging box and at least two pillars located at both ends of the packaging box.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the columns is provided with a diagonal brace at its top, which extends from bottom to top in a direction away from the center of the frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting component includes two connecting plates, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the frame. Each of the two connecting plates has a limiting plate on its side that is close to each other, and the limiting plate has limiting serrations.

[0009] Furthermore, the suction box component includes a driving cylinder, and a mounting plate is provided on the piston rod of the driving cylinder. Multiple sets of vacuum suction cups are provided on the mounting plate, and each set of vacuum suction cups is located directly below the frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveying component includes a drive motor, a drive roller, a driven roller, and multiple conveyor belts. The drive roller and the driven roller are rotatably mounted at both ends of the frame. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on the frame, and the output shaft of the drive motor is coaxially connected to the drive roller. The multiple conveyor belts are wound between the drive roller and the driven roller.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor belt has multiple limiting blocks distributed along its length, and the spacing between two adjacent limiting blocks is adapted to the length of the packaging box.

[0012] Furthermore, adjacent frames are arranged in an alternating manner.

[0013] The technical solution of this utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention uses a placement component to stably position stacked packaging boxes. A suction component adsorbs the bottommost packaging box and separates it from the stacked boxes. A conveyor then transports the packaging box forward a distance so that it can hold the hot pot base adsorbed by the suction mechanism at a designated position. This eliminates the need for workers to manually remove and place the packaging boxes one by one, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] The following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, further illustrates that this embodiment provides a box feeding mechanism for a packaging machine, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a frame 1, on which a conveyor 11 is arranged along its length. Above the conveyor 11, there are multiple sets of placement parts 2 for placing stacked packaging boxes. At the bottom of the frame 1, there is a suction box part 3. The suction box part 3 can suction the bottommost packaging box and cause the bottommost packaging box to separate from the stacked packaging boxes. The separated packaging box falls onto the conveyor 11, and the conveyor 11 transports the packaging box forward a certain distance so that the packaging box can hold the hot pot base adsorbed by the suction mechanism at a designated position.

[0025] Reference Figure 2As shown, the placement component 2 includes a frame 21, and a blocking component 22 is provided on the top of the frame 21. The blocking component 22 includes at least four uprights 221, each upright 221 being fixed vertically to the top of the frame 21. At least two uprights 221 are located on both sides of the packaging box, and at least two uprights 221 are located at both ends of the packaging box, so as to block the stacked packaging boxes and ensure stability. In this embodiment, two uprights 221 are provided on each side of the packaging box, and one upright 221 is provided at each end of the packaging box. By providing two uprights 221 along the long side of the packaging box, a good blocking effect can be ensured. The top of each upright 221 is provided with a diagonal rod 222, which extends from bottom to top away from the center of the frame 21. Multiple diagonal rods 222 together form a flared part to facilitate the process of placing the stacked packaging boxes into the placement component 2.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the frame 21 is provided with a limiting member 23 for limiting the position of the packaging box. The limiting member 23 includes two connecting plates 231, which are respectively set on opposite sides of the frame 21. A limiting plate 232 is welded to the side of the two connecting plates 231 that is close to each other. Limiting serrations 2321 are distributed on the limiting plate 232. When stacking packaging boxes, since the packaging boxes are relatively light, the limiting serrations 2321 can prevent the packaging boxes from falling out of the frame 21 under their own weight. When the suction box 3 suctions the bottom packaging box, the limiting serrations 2321 can limit the packaging boxes that are close to the bottom packaging box, thereby preventing the suction box 3 from taking other packaging boxes out with it when suctioning and removing the bottom packaging box.

[0027] Reference Figure 4As shown, the conveyor 11 includes a drive motor 111, a drive roller 112, a driven roller 113, and multiple conveyor belts 114. The drive roller 112 and the driven roller 113 are rotatably connected to both ends of the frame 1. The drive motor 111 is fixedly mounted on the frame, and its output shaft is coaxially connected to the drive roller 112. The drive roller 112 is equipped with multiple main pulleys 1121, and the driven roller 113 is equipped with multiple driven pulleys 1131. The multiple conveyor belts 114 are correspondingly wound around the corresponding main pulleys 1121 and driven pulleys 1131. By driving the drive roller 112 to rotate through the drive motor 111, the main pulleys 1121 on the drive roller 112 can drive the driven pulleys 1131 to rotate through the conveyor belts 114, thereby causing the conveyor belts 114 to transport the packaging box forward a certain distance. Multiple limiting blocks 1141 are distributed along the length of the conveyor belt 114. The spacing between two adjacent limiting blocks 1141 is adapted to the length of the packaging box, so that the packaging box can fall into the gap between two adjacent limiting blocks 1141 to adapt to the spacing between two adjacent columns of hot pot base on the adsorption mechanism.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the suction box component 3 includes a drive cylinder 31. A mounting plate 32 is mounted on the piston rod of the drive cylinder 31. Multiple sets of vacuum suction cups 33 are mounted on the mounting plate 32, each set corresponding to a specific location directly below the frame 21. Activating the drive cylinder 31 moves the vacuum suction cups 33 upwards, allowing them to suction the bottommost packaging box. Activating the drive cylinder 31 again moves the vacuum suction cups 33 downwards, detaching the bottommost packaging box from the stacked packaging boxes. The mounting plate 32 also includes a vacuum pump (not shown). When the vacuum pump draws air, it creates a negative pressure on the vacuum suction cups 33 to suction the packaging box. When the vacuum pump releases air, it detaches the vacuum suction cups 33 from the packaging box.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 As shown, adjacent frames 21 are staggered, meaning that adjacent frames 21 are not collinear in the vertical projection direction. In this embodiment, three sets of placement components 2 are provided, thus three frames 21 are configured. Since each frame 21 occupies a certain space, the positions of adjacent frames 21 are staggered to ensure that each frame 21 has sufficient installation space. This allows for a certain gap when the packaging box placed in two frames 21 falls onto the conveyor 11, accommodating the spacing between the two rows of hot pot base materials on the adsorption mechanism.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
