Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of corrugated cardboard processing technology, and in particular to a conveying device for corrugated cardboard. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of corrugated cardboard, the conveying process is a crucial part, affecting production efficiency and stability.

[0003] Currently, in most corrugated cardboard conveying scenarios, the feeding operation mainly relies on manual labor. Specifically, due to the limited physical strength and energy of people, it is difficult to maintain a stable and fast feeding speed during long-term continuous operation. This will disrupt the operating rhythm of the entire conveying equipment and thus affect the overall production efficiency. In addition, manual feeding is prone to problems such as inaccurate placement of corrugated cardboard and angle deviation, which can cause the corrugated cardboard to jam or fall during the conveying process.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a conveying device for corrugated cardboard is now designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a conveying device for corrugated cardboard to solve the problem in related technologies that in most corrugated cardboard conveying scenarios, the feeding operation mainly relies on manual labor, which affects the overall production efficiency.

[0006] In a first aspect, a conveying device for corrugated cardboard is provided, comprising:

[0007] A conveyor is provided, with a loading station at one end of the conveyor for placing corrugated cardboard. A support frame is provided between the conveyor and the loading station, and an adsorption mechanism is slidably mounted on the support frame for adsorbing the corrugated cardboard at the loading station. A traveling mechanism is provided on the support frame, and a lifting component is provided on the traveling mechanism. The lifting component and the adsorption mechanism are used to drive the adsorption mechanism to move up and down. The traveling mechanism drives the lifting component to move along the length of the support frame. The conveyor and the loading station are arranged sequentially along the length of the support frame.

[0008] The adsorption mechanism includes a pneumatic vacuum suction cup mounted on the lifting component.

[0009] In some embodiments, the loading station includes a lifting platform arranged at the bottom of a support frame, with a material platform for placing corrugated cardboard above the lifting platform.

[0010] In some embodiments, the traveling mechanism includes two fixed beams that are disposed opposite to each other on a support frame. Both ends of the fixed beams are rotatably provided with pulleys. A belt is drivingly connected between the two pulleys on the same side. A rotating shaft is coaxially connected between the two pulleys on opposite sides. A traveling beam is provided between the tops of the two belts.

[0011] The support frame is equipped with a mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is equipped with a drive motor. Both the output shaft and the rotating shaft of the drive motor are equipped with pulleys, and the two pulleys are connected by a belt.

[0012] In some embodiments, a slide rail is provided on the fixed beam, and a slider is provided at the bottom of the traveling beam, the slider slidingly engaging with the slide rail.

[0013] In some embodiments, the lifting component includes a fixed seat mounted on the traveling beam, an electric push rod mounted on the fixed seat, and a mounting bracket at the bottom end of the piston rod of the electric push rod.

[0014] In some embodiments, multiple pneumatic vacuum suction cups of the adsorption mechanism may be provided, and the multiple pneumatic vacuum suction cups are arranged at equal distances on the mounting frame;

[0015] The adsorption mechanism also includes a vacuum generator, which is used to quickly create a negative pressure inside the pneumatic vacuum suction cup to generate an adsorption force on the corrugated paper.

[0016] This application provides a conveying device for corrugated cardboard.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] This application provides a conveying device for corrugated cardboard, which solves the problem in related technologies that in most corrugated cardboard conveying scenarios, the feeding operation mainly relies on manual labor, affecting the overall production efficiency.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, a conveying device for corrugated cardboard includes: a conveyor 1, and a loading station 2 arranged at one end of the conveyor 1 for placing corrugated cardboard. The device is characterized in that a support frame 3 is provided above the conveyor 1 and the loading station 2, and an adsorption mechanism 4 is slidably arranged on the support frame 3 for adsorbing the corrugated cardboard on the loading station 2. A traveling mechanism 5 is provided on the support frame 3, and a lifting component 6 is provided on the traveling mechanism 5. The lifting component 6 and the adsorption mechanism 4 are used to drive the adsorption mechanism 4 to move up and down. The traveling mechanism 5 drives the lifting component 6 to move along the length of the support frame 3. The conveyor 1 and the loading station 2 are arranged sequentially along the length of the support frame 3. The adsorption mechanism 4 includes a pneumatic vacuum suction cup 41 arranged on the lifting component 6.

[0029] Corrugated cardboard is placed on loading station 2 by an external forklift or palletizing equipment. At this time, the adsorption mechanism 4 is in the initial position, above loading station 2, waiting for the start signal.

[0030] When the equipment receives the start signal, the traveling mechanism 5 starts to work. The traveling mechanism 5 drives the lifting component 6 to move along the length of the support frame 3, so that the lifting component 6 drives the adsorption mechanism 4 to move directly above the loading station 2. Then, the lifting component 6 starts and drives the adsorption mechanism 4 to move downward until the pneumatic vacuum suction cup 41 on the adsorption mechanism 4 is in close contact with the surface of the corrugated cardboard on the loading station 2, adsorbing the corrugated cardboard onto the pneumatic vacuum suction cup 41.

[0031] After successful adsorption, the lifting component 6 starts in reverse, driving the adsorption mechanism 4 to move the adsorbed corrugated cardboard upward, so that the corrugated cardboard leaves the feeding station 2. The traveling mechanism 5 works again, driving the lifting component 6 and the adsorption mechanism 4 to move along the length of the support frame 3 towards the conveyor 1. When they reach above the conveyor 1, the lifting component 6 starts again, driving the adsorption mechanism 4 to move downward, placing the corrugated cardboard on the conveyor 1.

[0032] After placement, the suction force of the pneumatic vacuum suction cup 41 is released, and the corrugated cardboard is placed smoothly on the conveyor 1. Subsequently, the suction mechanism 4 is reset to the initial position under the action of the lifting component 6 and the traveling mechanism 5, waiting for the next suction and feeding operation, while the conveyor 1 transports the corrugated cardboard to the subsequent processing station.

[0033] By using the loading station 2, the adsorption mechanism 4, the lifting component 6 and the traveling mechanism 5 in combination, the adsorption, transfer and placement of corrugated cardboard can be completed quickly and continuously. The coordinated work of the traveling mechanism 5 and the lifting component 6 enables the adsorption mechanism 4 to quickly reach the designated position, which greatly shortens the loading time, improves the overall production efficiency, meets the needs of large-scale and high-efficiency production, and at the same time reduces the physical labor of workers in the loading process and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0034] The adsorption mechanism 4 provides a stable adsorption force, ensuring that the corrugated cardboard does not slip during the adsorption and transfer process.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the loading station 2 in this embodiment includes a lifting platform 21 arranged at the bottom of the support frame 3, and a material platform 211 for placing corrugated cardboard is provided above the lifting platform 21.

[0036] When the equipment is in standby mode, the lifting platform 21 is in the lowest position. This initial setting makes it easy to stack a large number of corrugated cardboard pieces on the material platform 211 at once, improving the convenience of feeding.

[0037] When the equipment starts operating and a material loading operation is required, the lifting platform 21 starts and gradually rises according to a preset program. As the lifting platform 21 rises, the corrugated cardboard on the material platform 211 approaches the adsorption mechanism 4, thereby reducing the lifting stroke of the lifting component 6 and improving efficiency.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the traveling mechanism 5 includes two fixed beams 51 arranged opposite to each other on the support frame 3. Each fixed beam 51 has a pulley 52 rotatably mounted at both ends. A belt 53 is drivingly connected between the two pulleys 52 on the same side. A rotating shaft 54 ​​is coaxially connected between the two pulleys 52 on both sides. A traveling beam 58 is arranged between the tops of the two belts 53. A mounting frame A55 is provided on the support frame 3. A drive motor 56 is provided on the mounting frame A55. A second pulley 57 is provided on both the output shaft and the rotating shaft 54 ​​of the drive motor 56. The two second pulleys 57 are drivingly connected by a second belt.

[0039] When the equipment receives the running command, the drive motor 56 starts to work. The output shaft of the drive motor 56 drives the pulley 57 on it to rotate. Since the two pulleys 57 are connected by the belt, the power is transmitted to the pulley 57 on the shaft 54, which in turn drives the shaft 54 ​​to rotate.

[0040] The two ends of the rotating shaft 54 ​​are coaxially connected to the pulleys 52 at one end of the fixed beams 51 on both sides. Therefore, the rotation of the rotating shaft 54 ​​will synchronously drive the pulleys 52 at one end of the fixed beams 51 on both sides to rotate. Since the two pulleys 52 on the same side are connected by a belt 53, the two pulleys 52 on one side of the fixed beam 51 will rotate synchronously, driving the belt 53 on that side to perform cyclical motion. Similarly, the belt 53 on the other side of the fixed beam 51 will also perform cyclical motion synchronously.

[0041] When the belts 53 on both sides move in a synchronous cycle, the traveling beam 58 will move along the length of the support frame 3 with the movement of the belts 53, driving the adsorption mechanism 4 and the lifting component 6 to move together, thereby realizing the position switching of the adsorption mechanism 4 between the feeding station 2 and the conveyor 1, and completing the adsorption, transfer and placement operations of corrugated cardboard.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the fixed beam 51 is further provided with a slide rail 7, and the bottom of the traveling beam 58 is provided with a slider 8, which slides in cooperation with the slide rail 7.

[0043] When the traveling beam 58 tends to move with the movement of the belt 53, the slider 8 at the bottom of the traveling beam 58 slides in conjunction with the slide rail 7 on the fixed beam 51. The slide rail 7 provides a guide track for the movement of the slider 8. The slider 8 slides smoothly along the slide rail 7, which restricts the traveling beam 58 to move only in the length direction of the support frame 3, thus ensuring the straightness and stability of the movement of the traveling beam 58.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting member 6 includes a fixed seat 61 disposed on the traveling beam 58, an electric push rod 62 disposed on the fixed seat 61, and a mounting bracket B63 disposed at the bottom end of the piston rod of the electric push rod 62.

[0045] When the adsorption mechanism 4 needs to descend to adsorb the corrugated cardboard, the control system sends a command to the electric push rod 62. The electric push rod 62 causes the piston rod to extend downward. The piston rod drives the mounting frame B63 and the adsorption mechanism 4 connected to the mounting frame B63 to move downward together until the adsorption mechanism 4 reaches the appropriate position to adsorb the corrugated cardboard.

[0046] Once adsorption is complete, the control system issues another command, causing the piston rod of the electric push rod 62 to retract upwards, which in turn raises the mounting frame B63 and the adsorption mechanism 4, lifting the corrugated cardboard to a certain height so that the traveling beam 58 can move it above the conveyor 1 for placement.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the adsorption mechanism 4 may have multiple pneumatic vacuum suction cups 41, which are arranged at equal distances on the mounting frame 63; the adsorption mechanism 4 also includes a vacuum generator, which is used to quickly form a negative pressure inside the pneumatic vacuum suction cups 41 to generate an adsorption force on the corrugated paper.

[0048] Multiple pneumatic vacuum suction cups 41 can evenly distribute the adsorption force on the surface of the corrugated cardboard. Since the corrugated cardboard has a large area and relatively soft texture, multiple suction cups can avoid the problems of cardboard deformation, damage or weak adsorption caused by excessive or insufficient local adsorption force, thus improving the stability of adsorption.

[0049] The vacuum generator in this embodiment can quickly create negative pressure inside the pneumatic vacuum suction cup 41, thereby generating a strong suction force.

[0050] When corrugated cardboard needs to be adsorbed, the vacuum generator is activated, quickly extracting the air from inside the suction cup, reducing the air pressure inside the suction cup. The external atmospheric pressure then presses the corrugated cardboard tightly onto the suction cup, achieving reliable adsorption. When the corrugated cardboard approaches the surface of conveyor 1, the control system stops the vacuum generator or switches to exhaust mode. The negative pressure inside the suction cup gradually disappears, and the external atmospheric pressure and the air pressure inside the suction cup reach equilibrium. The corrugated cardboard is then placed stably on conveyor 1 under its own gravity.

[0051] It should be noted that the adsorption mechanism 4 in this embodiment further includes: an air compressor, which is used to compress air to a certain pressure to provide continuous and stable compressed air for the vacuum generator; an air storage tank, which is used to store compressed air and play a role in stabilizing air pressure and buffering airflow; a solenoid valve, which is used to control the on / off state and flow direction of compressed air, thereby controlling the working state of the vacuum generator; a pressure switch, which is used to monitor the pressure of compressed air and convert it into an electrical signal to be fed back to the control system; a programmable logic controller (PLC), which is used to receive signals from the pressure switch and sensors, and control the solenoid valve and air compressor according to a preset program; a vacuum sensor, which is used to detect the vacuum level inside the pneumatic vacuum suction cup and convert it into an electrical signal to be fed back to the control system; and a proximity switch, which is used to detect the position and movement state of the adsorption mechanism. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
