Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automated equipment manufacturing, and in particular to an adaptive flipping mechanism for packaging boxes. Background Technology

[0002] As a key piece of equipment in modern industrial material handling systems, material flipping mechanisms have made significant breakthroughs in drive technology, structural design, and intelligent control in recent years, and their application scenarios have expanded from traditional manufacturing to more refined and automated fields.

[0003] In the field of packaging, material flipping mechanisms typically employ a clamping mechanism to hold the material and rotate it to achieve flipping. Configuring a clamping mechanism inevitably requires a large space and is also costly. Therefore, how to achieve the flipping of packaging materials in a smaller space has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an adaptive flipping mechanism for packaging boxes to solve the problem of low flipping efficiency in current packaging boxes.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is that this application provides a packaging box adaptive flipping mechanism, including: a frame, on which a conveying mechanism and a flipping mechanism are installed. The conveying mechanism includes a pair of conveying parts arranged opposite to each other, and the pair of conveying parts are configured as a material conveying channel. The flipping mechanism is arranged in the material conveying channel. The flipping mechanism includes two adjacent material loading platforms that are not on the same horizontal plane. The pair of conveying parts drive the material to flip from the material loading platform with a lower horizontal plane to the material loading platform with a higher horizontal plane.

[0006] Preferably, the material loading platform includes an adjacent first material loading platform and a second material loading platform. The first material loading platform has a first material loading surface, and the second material loading platform has a second material loading surface. The first material loading surface is located at the work station in front of the second material loading surface, and the horizontal plane of the first material loading surface is lower than the horizontal plane of the second material loading surface.

[0007] Preferably, the pair of conveying sections includes a first conveying section and a second conveying section, the first conveying section and the second conveying section having oppositely disposed conveying holding surfaces, the conveying holding surfaces being able to continuously apply frictional force to the material surface.

[0008] Preferably, the frame is further provided with a drive mechanism, one end of which is connected to a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism is connected to the first conveying section and the second conveying section respectively, and the drive mechanism can drive the first conveying section and the second conveying section to move synchronously.

[0009] Preferably, at least one tensioning mechanism is provided on each pair of conveying sections, the tensioning mechanism applying a tensioning force to keep the conveying section facing toward the material.

[0010] Preferably, the first conveying section includes a first conveyor belt and a first roller assembly with the conveying plane in the longitudinal direction, and the second conveying section includes a second conveyor belt and a second roller assembly with the conveying plane in the longitudinal direction. A pair of the tensioning mechanisms are respectively disposed on the back side of the conveying plane of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, and respectively apply a force to the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt to bring them closer together.

[0011] Preferably, the tensioning mechanism includes a spring mounted on the frame, with the other end of the spring mounted on a tensioning plate, the tensioning plate abutting against the first conveyor belt / second conveyor belt.

[0012] Preferably, the tensioning mechanism has at least two springs.

[0013] Preferably, a distance adjustment mechanism is further provided between the pair of conveying units for adjusting the spacing between the pair of conveying units.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are:

[0015] (1) This application uses a longitudinally arranged conveying mechanism and a step-type box-flipping mechanism to cooperate. The friction force during the conveying process drives the material to flip the box with the cooperation of the steps. The efficiency of successful box flipping is high, and the speed of box flipping is also very fast.

[0016] (2) The tensioning mechanism is used to tighten the belt in the horizontal direction to ensure that the material always has a large friction force, which ensures the stability of the box flipping. In addition, setting the tensioning mechanism on the inside of the belt also saves space.

[0017] (3) By using two adjacent material loading platforms that are not on the same horizontal plane, the material is flipped from the material loading platform with a lower horizontal plane to the material loading platform with a higher horizontal plane under the drive of a pair of conveyors. The whole process is smooth and not easy to jam. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely one embodiment of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

Moreover, the terms "comprising" and "being," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a packaging box adaptive flipping mechanism, including: a frame 1, on which a conveying mechanism 2 is installed. There are two conveying mechanisms 2 arranged opposite each other, and the conveying mechanisms opposite each other are configured to form a conveying channel 3. A box flipping mechanism 4 is arranged in the conveying channel 3. The material is placed on the box flipping mechanism 4, and the conveying mechanism 2 drives the material to flip in the box flipping mechanism 4 to achieve the flipping direction, and then moves in the conveying channel.

[0034] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the flipping mechanism 4 can carry materials. In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 4 is composed of a material carrying platform, including a first material carrying platform 41 and a second material carrying platform 42 that are adjacent but not on the same horizontal plane. The first material carrying platform 41 has a first material carrying surface 411 and a second material carrying surface 412. The first material carrying surface 411 is located at the station before the second material carrying surface 412, and the horizontal plane of the first material carrying surface 411 is lower than the horizontal plane of the second material carrying surface 412. Conveying parts 21 are respectively provided on both sides of the first material carrying platform 41 and the second material carrying platform 42. A pair of conveying parts 21 drive the material to flip from the first material carrying surface 411 with a lower horizontal plane to the second material carrying surface 412 with a higher horizontal plane, and then move to the next station in the conveying channel 3. In this embodiment, the second material carrying platform 42 is mirrored with the first material carrying platform 41 and also has two material carrying surfaces with carrying surfaces that are not on the same horizontal plane.

[0035] like Figure 4-5As shown, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a pair of conveying sections 21 arranged opposite to each other. Each conveying section 21 includes a first conveying section 211 and a second conveying section 212. The first conveying section 211 and the second conveying section 212 have oppositely arranged conveying holding surfaces 21A, which can continuously apply frictional force to the material surface. In this embodiment, to better apply frictional force to the material surface, a tensioning mechanism 22 is also provided on one side of the conveying holding surface 21A. The tensioning mechanism 22 applies a tensioning force to the conveying holding surface 21A of the conveying section towards the material. The tensioning mechanism 22 can be made of an elastic element, such as a spring, rubber, or diaphragm. In some preferred embodiments of this application, the tensioning mechanism 22 includes a spring 221. One end of the spring 221 is mounted on a support member, which is fixed to the frame 1. The other end of the spring 221 is mounted on a tensioning plate 222, which abuts against the conveying section.

[0036] Combined with appendix Figure 4-5 As shown, a drive mechanism 5 is provided on the frame. One end of the drive mechanism 5 is connected to a transmission mechanism 6. The transmission mechanism 6 is connected to the first conveying part 211 and the second conveying part 212 respectively. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 6 can be a motor that provides power. The transmission mechanism 6 adopts a coaxial transmission rod. Thus, the drive mechanism 5 can drive the first conveying part 211 and the second conveying part 212 to move synchronously.

[0037] The first conveying section 211 includes a first conveyor belt 2111 and a first roller assembly 2112. The first roller assembly 2112 is arranged longitudinally. The first conveyor belt 2111 wraps around the outside of the first roller assembly 2112 to form a conveying holding surface 21A with the conveying plane being longitudinal. A tensioning plate 222 abuts against the back of the conveying holding surface 21A. Through the action of a spring, the conveying holding surface 21A can continuously move closer to the conveying center axis of the conveying channel 3. In this embodiment, the second conveying section 212 and the first conveying section 211 are arranged in mirror image. The second conveyor belt 2121 is wrapped around the second roller assembly 2122. At the same time, a tensioning mechanism is also provided on the inner side of the second conveyor belt 2121. Therefore, a pair of tensioning mechanisms are respectively provided on the back of the two conveying planes and apply a force to the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2121 to make them move closer to each other, thus sticking the material tightly.

[0038] Combination Figure 1-5As shown, the material first enters the conveyor channel 3 and is placed on the first material loading platform 41 of the flipping mechanism 4. The two sides of the material abut against the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2121 respectively. At this time, in order to ensure that the material can stick tightly to the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2121, the spring-driven tensioning plate 222 in the tensioning mechanism 22 applies tension force to the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2121 respectively, so that there is sufficient friction between the material and the belt. The motor drives the transmission mechanism 6 to rotate, thereby simultaneously driving the first conveyor belt 2111. The material is conveyed in one direction by the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2121. At this time, the material is on the first material loading platform 41, and one side of the material is against the second material loading platform 42, which is at a higher level. The friction force applied to the material by the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2121 causes the material to flip in the direction of the second material loading platform 42. Since the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2121 are arranged longitudinally, it can be ensured that the material is always restricted within the conveying channel 3 by the first conveyor belt 2111 and the second conveyor belt 2121. After the flipping is completed, the material enters the next station.

[0039] The solution provided in this embodiment enables rapid flipping of packaged materials, with a simpler structure, a streamlined flipping process, a faster operating cycle, and a smaller equipment size, making it suitable for a wider range of applications.

It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects.
