Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary material suction technology, specifically an auxiliary material suction mechanism for an automatic packaging line. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, automated packaging lines are core equipment for improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs. The design of their auxiliary material suction mechanisms directly affects the continuity, accuracy, and stability of the packaging process. With the increasing demands for packaging quality from industries such as electronics, food, and pharmaceuticals, the technological evolution of auxiliary material suction mechanisms is showing a trend towards higher efficiency, intelligence, and flexibility.
[0003] After the material is picked up by the auxiliary material picking mechanism, the robotic arm moves the material to the top of the box and places it inside the box. However, when picking up and placing the material by the auxiliary material picking mechanism, it is often difficult to adjust the direction of the material. When the cardboard box has a certain angular deviation, it is difficult to place the material accurately inside the cardboard box. The material is easy to deviate from the box, thus affecting the quality and efficiency of the material packaging. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary material feeding mechanism for an automatic packaging line to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The rotating mechanism is located inside the machine body. The rotating mechanism includes pulley one and pulley three located below the mounting plate. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate. A T-shaped block is set above pulley three. The rotating mechanism is used to adjust the angle of the suction device.
[0008] The fastening mechanism is located inside the machine body. The fastening mechanism includes a fixed column fixedly installed on the top surface of the T-shaped block, a fixed frame fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixed plate, and multiple locking holes opened on the inner wall of the fixed frame. The fastening mechanism is used to adjust the position of pulley three.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting shaft is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pulley, the lower end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the top surface of the suction device, and the upper end of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate through a bearing seat.
[0010] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting plate, and the lower end of the motor output rod rotates through the top surface of the mounting plate and extends to the bottom of the mounting plate. A second pulley is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lower end of the motor output rod, and pulleys one, two, and three are connected by belt drive.
[0011] Preferably, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pulley. The upper end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the T-shaped block through a bearing seat. A T-shaped groove is opened on the bottom surface of the fixed plate and the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The inner wall of the T-shaped groove is slidably connected to the outer wall of the T-shaped block. A through groove is opened on the inner wall of the upper end of the T-shaped groove.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the fixed column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame, and a cavity is opened inside the fixed column. Two movable plates are slidably installed on the inner wall of the cavity, and a locking block is fixedly installed on the side of each of the two movable plates. One end of each locking block slides through the inner wall of the cavity and engages with a locking hole.
[0013] Preferably, the two movable plates are elastically connected to each other by elastic elements on their sides, and two grooves are opened through the upper inner wall of the cavity. Adjusting columns are fixedly installed on the top surfaces of the two movable plates, and the outer walls of the two adjusting columns are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two grooves.
[0014] Preferably, a mounting shaft is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixed column, and a rotating sleeve is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the mounting shaft through a bearing seat. Two adjusting plates are fixedly installed on the top surface of the rotating sleeve.
[0015] Preferably, the top surface of the rotating sleeve has two arc-shaped grooves that pass through it, and the inner walls of the two arc-shaped grooves are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two adjusting columns, respectively.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This invention uses a suction device to pick up materials, then a robotic arm transfers the materials to the top of the box. A vision detector detects the direction of the box, and a motor is turned on to drive pulley two to rotate. Pulley two drives pulley one and pulley three to rotate via a belt. Pulley one drives the connecting shaft and the suction device to rotate. The suction device rotates the materials at a certain angle, so that the materials are in the same direction as the box. The materials are less likely to deviate from the box and can fall accurately into the box without needing to be picked up and placed again, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of material packaging.
[0018] By twisting the adjusting plate, the rotating sleeve rotates. The arc groove on the rotating sleeve moves the adjusting column, which in turn moves the moving plate and presses against the elastic element. The moving plate moves the locking block out of the inner wall of the locking hole, pulling the fixed column and moving the T-block. The T-block moves the rotating shaft and pulley three to the appropriate position. The adjusting plate is then loosened, and under the action of the elastic element, the locking block engages with the locking hole, fixing the fixed column and pulley three. Thus, the position of pulley three can be adjusted as needed to adjust the belt tension. The belt is not easy to loosen, and pulley two can accurately and continuously drive pulley one and the suction device, ensuring the accuracy of material adjustment. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Specifically, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the outer wall of the fixed column 303 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 301. A cavity 304 is provided inside the fixed column 303. Two movable plates 305 are slidably installed on the inner wall of the cavity 304. A locking block 306 is fixedly installed on the side of each of the two movable plates 305.

[0048] The specific solution is as follows: Material is conveyed to the required position via material conveying assembly 101. The box is conveyed to the appropriate position via transmission assembly 103 and stops moving. Robotic arm 102 drives suction device 106 to move above the material. Suction device 106 sucks up the material. Robotic arm 102 transfers the material above the box. A vision detector detects the box's orientation. Motor 204 is activated, driving pulley two 203 to rotate. Pulley two 203 drives pulley one 202 and pulley three 205 to rotate via a belt. Pulley one 202 drives connecting shaft 201 and suction device 106 to rotate. Suction device 106 rotates the material at a certain angle, ensuring the material is aligned with the box's orientation, preventing it from deviating from the box, and allowing it to fall accurately into the box without needing to be sucked up again. If the belt is too loose, the machine stops, and adjusting plate 313 is turned. The rotating sleeve 311 rotates, and the arc groove 312 on the rotating sleeve 311 moves the adjusting column 309. The adjusting column 309 moves the moving plate 305 and presses the elastic element 307. The moving plate 305 moves the locking block 306 out of the inner wall of the locking hole 302, pulls the fixing column 303, and moves the T-block 209. The T-block 209 moves the rotating shaft 206 and the pulley 205 to the appropriate position, loosens the adjusting plate 313, and under the action of the elastic element 307, the locking block 306 engages with the locking hole 302, fixing the fixing column 303 and the pulley 205. Thus, the position of the pulley 205 can be adjusted as needed to adjust the belt tension, and the belt is not easy to loosen. The pulley 203 can accurately and continuously drive the pulley 202 and the suction device 106, ensuring the accuracy of material adjustment.
