Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cartoning device technology, and in particular to a conveying mechanism for a cartoning machine. Background Technology

[0002] A cartoning machine is a type of packaging equipment used to automate the process of filling items into boxes. Existing cartoning machines use conveyor belts to transport the items and boxes to designated locations. The items are positioned on one side of the box opening, and then a robotic arm or other method is used to insert them into the box. However, the conveyor belts typically place the items directly onto the conveyor belt. This direct placement can easily cause the items to deviate from their initial position during transport, preventing them from reaching the designated cartoning location. Therefore, baffles are needed on the conveyor belt to restrict the placement of the items. Since the baffles are integrally formed with the conveyor belt, one conveyor belt can only accommodate one type of item. When changing to a different item size, a new, compatible conveyor belt is required, increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a conveying mechanism for a cartoning machine, which solves the problem that the baffle and conveyor belt are integrally formed, which requires changing the conveyor belt to convey different sizes of items to be packaged, thus increasing production costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A conveying mechanism for a cartoning machine includes: a mounting frame, a conveyor belt, and a baffle.

[0006] The conveyor belt is mounted on the mounting frame, and a plurality of mounting slots are provided on the conveyor belt along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. A fixing slot is provided on one inner side wall of the mounting slot.

[0007] The baffle is provided in several parts. The lower end of the baffle can extend into the mounting groove. A fixing cavity is provided in the baffle. A connecting vertical plate is slidably connected in the fixing cavity along the direction perpendicular to the baffle. A fixing horizontal bar that can extend outward is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the connecting vertical plate. A compression spring is connected between the other side and the inner wall of the fixing cavity. A fixing horizontal plate that can pass through the connecting vertical plate and extend into the mounting groove is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting vertical plate. The fixing horizontal plate and the fixing horizontal bar are located on the same side of the connecting vertical plate.

[0008] Preferably, three compression springs are provided.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting vertical plate, the fixing horizontal bar, and the fixing horizontal plate are integrally formed.

[0010] Preferably, adjacent baffles on the conveyor belt form a set of storage spaces in pairs, and the fixed crossbars of the two baffles in each set of storage spaces are located on the side of the two baffles that are far apart from each other.

[0011] Preferably, the two baffles of each set of storage spaces have an outwardly expanding inclined portion at the same end.

[0012] Preferably, a horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle. The horizontal plate is provided with a through hole and a threaded rod. The through hole is provided with an internal thread that is threaded to the threaded rod. The end of the fixed horizontal rod away from the connecting vertical plate is provided with an annular groove. When the fixed horizontal plate is located in the fixed groove, the threaded rod can pass through the through hole and abut against the annular groove.

[0013] Preferably, side baffles are provided on the mounting frame and on both sides of the conveyor belt.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The baffles on the conveyor belt are installed in the mounting slots on the conveyor belt. By pressing the fixed crossbar, the fixed crossbars can be moved through the connecting vertical plates, so that the fixed crossbars are no longer restricted in the fixed slots. This allows the baffles to be removed and installed in appropriate positions, enabling the baffles to be adjusted according to needs. As a result, it is not necessary to change different conveyor belts when conveying items of different sizes, thus saving production costs.

[0016] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be partly apparent from the following description, and partly understood by those skilled in the art through study and practice of this invention. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model clearer and easier to understand, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a conveying mechanism for a cartoning machine includes: a mounting frame 1, a conveyor belt 2, and baffles 3; the conveyor belt 2 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and a plurality of mounting grooves 21 are provided on the conveyor belt 2 along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, and a fixing groove 22 is provided on one inner side wall of the mounting groove 21; a plurality of baffles 3 are provided, the lower end of the baffles 3 can extend into the mounting grooves 21, a fixing cavity 31 is provided in the baffles 3, a connecting vertical plate 41 is slidably connected in the fixing cavity 31 along a direction perpendicular to the baffles 3, a fixing crossbar 42 that can extend outward is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the connecting vertical plate 41, and a compression spring 5 is connected between the other side and the inner wall of the fixing cavity 31; a fixing crossbar 43 that can pass through the connecting vertical plate 41 and extend into the mounting grooves 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting vertical plate 41, and the fixing crossbar 42 and the fixing crossbar 42 are located on the same side of the connecting vertical plate 41.

[0027] The conveyor belt 2 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, which is equipped with gears for driving the conveyor belt 2. For specific structural details, refer to existing technology; these details are not elaborated here. The mounting groove 21 is used to mount the baffles 3. The mounting groove 21 is a long, narrow groove, and its length direction is perpendicular to the movement direction of the conveyor belt 2, ensuring that the mounted baffles 3 are all perpendicular to the conveying direction and parallel to each other. Figure 2As shown, the lower end of the baffle 3 has a protrusion, which is located in the mounting groove 21 during installation. A connecting vertical plate 41 and a compression spring 5 are provided in the fixing cavity 31 of the baffle 3. The connecting vertical plate 41 slides in the fixing cavity 31 under the elastic force of the compression spring 5. The fixing horizontal plate 43 and the fixing horizontal bar 42 are located on the side of the connecting vertical plate 41 away from the compression spring 5. The fixing groove 22 is located on the same side of the connecting vertical plate 41 as the fixing horizontal plate 43, so that under the elastic force of the spring, the connecting vertical plate 41 is pushed to move the fixing horizontal plate 43 and extend into the fixing groove 22. When it is necessary to change the position of the baffle 3, press the fixing horizontal bar 42 to push the connecting vertical plate 41 to move, thereby compressing the compression spring 5 and moving the fixing horizontal plate 43 to move out of the fixing groove 22. The baffle 3 can then be removed and installed in a suitable position.

[0028] The baffle 3 on the conveyor belt 2 is installed in the mounting groove 21 on the conveyor belt 2. By pressing the fixed crossbar 42, the fixed crossbar 43 can be moved through the connecting vertical plate 41, so that the fixed crossbar 43 is no longer restricted in the fixed groove 22. Thus, the baffle 3 can be removed and installed in an appropriate position. This allows the position of the baffle 3 to be adjusted according to the needs. Therefore, when conveying items of different sizes, it is not necessary to change different conveyor belts 2, thus saving production costs.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, three compression springs 5 ​​are provided. The three compression springs 5 ​​are evenly distributed on the side of the connecting vertical plate 41.

[0030] Furthermore, the connecting vertical plate 41, the fixed horizontal bar 42, and the fixed horizontal plate 43 are integrally formed.

[0031] Furthermore, adjacent baffles 3 on the conveyor belt 2 form a set of storage spaces in pairs. The fixed crossbar 42 of the two baffles 3 in each set of storage spaces is located on the side of the two baffles 3 that is far apart from each other. Since the baffles 3 form a set of storage spaces in pairs, items are placed in the storage spaces, i.e., between the two baffles 3. The fixed crossbar 42 is located on the side of the two baffles 3 that is far apart from each other, so it will not interfere with the placement of items and it is convenient to press or perform other operations on the fixed crossbar 42.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, to facilitate the placement of items, the two baffles 3 of each set of storage spaces have an outwardly expanding inclined portion 32 at the same end.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, a horizontal plate 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle 3. The horizontal plate 6 has a through hole and a threaded rod 7. An internal thread that engages with the threaded rod 7 is provided in the through hole. An annular groove 421 is provided at the end of the fixed crossbar 42 away from the connecting vertical plate 41. When the fixed crossbar 43 is located within the fixed groove 22, the threaded rod 7 can pass through the through hole and abut against the annular groove 421. Rotating the threaded rod 7 allows it to move vertically. When the fixed crossbar 43 is located within the fixed groove 22, the threaded rod 7 is controlled to move downwards, causing its lower end to abut against the annular groove 421, thereby restricting the position of the fixed crossbar 42. The connecting vertical plate 41, in turn, restricts the fixed crossbar 43, improving the connection stability and reliability between the baffle 3 and the conveyor belt 2.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, to prevent items from falling off the sides of the conveyor belt 2 during transport, side baffles 11 are provided on the mounting frame 1 and on both sides of the conveyor belt 2.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
