Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cardboard box destacking, and more particularly to a cardboard box cable tie cutting device and equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In logistics and warehousing operations, cardboard boxes are often transported in stacks, requiring the cable ties to be cut during destacking. Traditional manual destacking methods have significant drawbacks. Operators must use tools close to the surface of the boxes to cut the ties, which easily leads to accidental scratches. Especially when the ties are pressed against the bottom of the stack, forcibly pulling or cutting can damage the box surface and even cause the stack to tip over. This damage not only results in packaging waste and increases the safety risks to the goods, but also prevents the damaged boxes from being reused, further increasing costs. Utility Model Content

[0037] This application provides a carton cable tie cutting device with intersecting first, second, and third directions. The carton cable tie cutting device includes a first conveyor line 100, an adjusting component 200, a lifting component 300, and a cutting component 500. Specifically, the first conveyor line 100 has a clearance gap and is used to carry and convey cartons along the first direction. The adjusting component 200 is disposed around the periphery of the first conveyor line 100 along the second direction. The lifting component 300 is disposed at the bottom of the first conveyor line 100 along the third direction. A multi-directional drive component 400 is disposed at the top of the first conveyor line 100 along the third direction. A driven plate 410 is disposed at the moving end of the multi-directional drive component 400. The cutting component 500 is disposed on the driven plate 410 and is used to cut the cable ties. The multi-directional drive component 400 is used to drive the cutting component 500 to move along the first, second, and third directions.
[0038] See Figure 1 As shown, the lifting assembly 300 is a roller conveyor line, that is, the lifting assembly 300 has multiple rollers, and a clearance gap is formed between two adjacent rollers, so that the lifting assembly 300 can lift the carton upward through the clearance gap.
[0039] Specifically, when it is necessary to destacking a stack of cartons with cable ties, the first conveyor line 100 can transport the stack of cartons from upstream to the cable tie cutting position to meet the cutting requirements. Next, the multi-directional drive assembly 400 moves the cutting assembly 500 to the cable tie position and cuts the cable tie. The lifting assembly 300 lifts the stack of cartons after the cable tie is cut, so that the cable tie is detached from the stack. The cable tie can be pulled out and separated from the stack by a worker on one side. Finally, the alignment assemblies 200 on both sides of the destacking position center the stack of cartons to make the position of each carton correct, which facilitates the subsequent destacking work. It can be understood that destacking can be done manually or by automated equipment. The specific method is not limited here.
[0040] In this embodiment, the multi-directional drive component 400 can move in three directions, that is, the multi-directional drive component 400 can drive the shearing component 500 to move in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction. Specifically, the multi-directional drive component 400 can be achieved by the cooperation of cylinders, motors, lead screws and linear modules, etc. to achieve movement in three directions.
[0041] In some embodiments, the adjustment component 200 is provided with a first linear drive 210 on one side of the first conveyor line 100 along the second direction. A baffle 220 is provided on the moving end of the first linear drive 210. The first linear drive 210 is used to drive the baffle 220 to move toward or away from the first conveyor line 100.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after the cable ties of the cardboard box stack are cut, in order to prevent the cardboard box stack from tilting and affecting subsequent destacking, the cardboard box stack can be corrected by the adjustment components 200 on both sides after the cable ties are cut. Specifically, the first linear drive components 210 on both sides can be activated at the same time to drive the baffles 220 toward the cardboard box stack, thereby straightening the tilted cardboard box stack to meet the needs of subsequent destacking.
[0043] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 300 includes a base 310, on which a plurality of second linear drive members 320 are disposed. The telescopic end of the second linear drive member 320 is provided with a lifting block 330. The second linear drive member 320 is used to drive the lifting block 330 to move toward or away from the carton through the clearance gap.
[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after the cable ties of the cardboard box stack are cut, the cable ties cannot be pulled out because the bottom of the cardboard box stack is pressed down by the cardboard box stack. Therefore, the second linear drive 320 at the bottom drives the lifting block 330 to lift upward through the clearance gap until the cardboard box stack is lifted into the air. At this time, the staff can pull out the cable ties. Finally, the second linear drive 320 retracts and drives the lifting block 330 to return to the initial position, and the cardboard box stack is placed back on the first conveyor line 100, completing the removal of the cable ties.
[0045] In some embodiments, the shearing assembly 500 includes a rotating assembly 510 disposed on the driven plate 410. A connecting rod 521 extending in a third direction is disposed at the circumferential edge of the bottom surface of the rotating end of the rotating assembly 510. A pad 522 is disposed at the end of the connecting rod 521 away from the rotating assembly 510. A third linear drive member 530 is disposed at the bottom of the rotating end of the rotating assembly 510 in a third direction. A cutter 540 is disposed at the telescopic end of the third linear drive member 530.
[0046] See Figure 3 As shown, in order to position the cable tie on the pad 522, the rotating assembly 510 drives the pad 522 to rotate via the connecting rod 521, and the first conveyor line 100 works in conjunction with the rotating assembly 510 to move the pad 522 below the cable tie. Then, the third linear drive 530 can be activated to drive the cutter 540 to move downward and cut the cable tie located on the pad 522.
[0047] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 510 includes a rotating shaft 511 rotatably disposed on the driven plate 410, a connecting rod 521 disposed at the circumferential edge of the bottom surface of the rotating shaft 511, a driven tooth 512 disposed on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 511, and a rotating drive member 513 disposed on the driven plate 410. The rotating end of the rotating drive member 513 is provided with a drive tooth 514, and the drive tooth 514 is connected to the rotating drive member 513 in a transmission connection.
[0048] Please continue reading. Figure 3 As shown, when it is necessary to drive the pad 522 to rotate via the connecting rod 521, the drive tooth 514 can be driven to rotate via the rotation drive 513. Under the meshing transmission of the drive tooth 514 and the driven tooth 512, the rotational power is transmitted to the rotating shaft 511, thereby driving the rotating shaft 511 to rotate, and then the pad 522 can be driven to rotate via the connecting rod 521.
[0049] In some embodiments, the pad 522 has a receiving groove 5221 on its circumferential surface, and the inner top wall of the receiving groove 5221 has a clearance groove 5222 adapted to the cutter 540.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to better accommodate the cable tie and prevent it from separating from the pad 522, an inwardly extending receiving groove 5221 is provided on the periphery of the pad 522. That is, the pad 522 is moved with the cooperation of the first conveyor line 100 and the rotating component 510 so that the cable tie is located in the receiving groove 5221. Then, the third linear drive component 530 can be activated to drive the cutter 540 to pass through the clearance groove 5222 and enter the receiving groove 5221 to cut the cable tie located inside it.
[0051] In some embodiments, the peripheral sidewalls of the receiving groove 5221 are provided with chamfers.
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, a chamfer is provided at the opening where the receiving groove 5221 communicates with the outside. The chamfer can be a rounded corner or an angled corner, so that the cable tie can be more easily inserted into the receiving groove 5221.
[0053] In some embodiments, a first distance sensor 550 is provided on the circumferential surface of the pad 522.
[0054] When the pad 522 moves downward, in order to prevent the pad 522 from being directly squeezed against the carton stack, a second distance sensor 560 is set on the periphery of the pad 522. The second distance sensor 560 detects the distance between the bottom surface of the pad 522 and the carton stack, so that the pad 522 moves downward and fits against the surface of the carton stack.
[0055] For example, the first distance sensor 550 can be a laser rangefinder.
[0056] In some embodiments, a second distance sensor 560 is provided on the top surface of the pad 522, and an avoidance hole 5223 is provided on the top wall of the receiving groove 5221 at the location of the second distance sensor 560.
[0057] See Figure 3 As shown, in order to determine whether the cable tie is located in the receiving groove 5221, a second distance sensor 560 is provided on the upper surface of the pad 522. At the measurement position of the second distance sensor 560, an avoidance hole 5223 is provided through the top wall of the receiving groove 5221 for the second distance sensor 560 to measure. When the cable tie is located in the receiving groove 5221, the second distance sensor 560 will detect the presence of the cable tie and transmit the signal to the controller. The controller will then control the third linear drive 530 to drive the cutter 540 to move downward to cut the cable tie located in the receiving groove 5221.
[0058] In this embodiment, the first conveyor line 100, the adjusting component 200, the lifting component 300, the multi-directional drive component 400, and the cutting component 500 are all controlled and linked by the controller to cut the cable ties.
[0059] This embodiment also provides a carton cable tie cutting device, which includes any of the above-mentioned carton cable tie cutting devices, a first conveyor line 100 having a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, a second conveyor line 600 disposed at the feed inlet, and a third conveyor line 700 disposed at the discharge outlet.
[0060] The cardboard stack is conveyed to the first conveyor line 100 via the second conveyor line 600. After the cable ties of the cardboard stack are cut and removed, the cardboard stack is conveyed to the third conveyor line 700 via the first conveyor line 100 again to enter the next process.
[0061] In this embodiment, in order to determine whether the carton stack has entered the first conveyor line 100, photoelectric gates are installed at the inlet and outlet of the first conveyor line 100 to automatically detect whether the carton stack has entered the first conveyor line 100.
