Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard box transportation technology, and in particular to a cardboard box flipping device. Background Technology

[0002] After the product is packaged in a cardboard box, the cardboard box needs to be sent out by a conveyor. The conveyor mainly includes a conveyor support and conveyor rollers that are rotatably connected to the conveyor support. However, existing technology also requires the cardboard box to be flipped during conveying, so a flipping device is added to the conveyor. However, this flipping device is usually built into the conveyor when it leaves the factory. If the cardboard box does not need to be flipped, a conveyor without a flipping device needs to be replaced, which results in poor overall adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical solution to be solved by this utility model is to provide a carton flipping device with high adaptability.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a carton flipping device, which includes a conveying device, a controller, a flipping component rotatably connected to both sides of the conveying device for flipping the carton, and a blocking component detachably connected to the flipping component for resisting the carton conveyed to the flipping component. The flipping component is electrically connected to the controller.

[0005] Preferably, the flipping assembly includes a flipping bracket rotatably connected to the conveying equipment, a flipping connecting rod connected to the flipping bracket, and a first power mechanism for driving the flipping bracket to rotate; the blocking assembly includes a blocking bracket detachably connected to the flipping bracket and a blocking connecting rod connected to the blocking bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the flipping bracket is L-shaped, and the blocking bracket is detachably connected to the short side of the flipping bracket by a locking member, while the flipping connecting rod is fixedly connected to the long side of the flipping bracket.

[0007] Preferably, the locking element is a spring plunger pin.

[0008] Preferably, the first power mechanism is a cylinder, and the tilting bracket is connected to the cylinder through a connector, and the conveying equipment is provided with a buffer block for the connector to press down and cushion.

[0009] Preferably, the conveying equipment is further provided with a hydraulic buffer component at the position corresponding to the blocking component for buffering the blocking support.

[0010] Preferably, the flipping bracket is also equipped with a sensor for detecting whether the carton has moved to the flipping position, and the sensor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0011] Preferably, protective mesh panels are provided on both sides of the conveying equipment at the positions corresponding to the flipping components.

[0012] Preferably, the conveying equipment is further provided with a blocking component to prevent the carton from entering the flipping assembly. The blocking component includes a fixed frame fixed to the conveying equipment, a guide rod vertically slidably connected to the fixed frame, a sliding plate fixed to the guide rod, a baffle fixed to the sliding plate, and a spring disposed between the sliding plate and the fixed frame for resetting the baffle, wherein:

[0013] When the flipping assembly is in its initial state, the flipping bracket presses against the guide rod. At this time, the baffle does not extend out of the conveying equipment, and the carton can freely enter the flipping assembly.

[0014] When the flipping assembly is in the flipping state, the flipping bracket is raised. At this time, the spring drives the guide rod, which in turn drives the baffle to extend out of the conveying equipment to block the carton from entering the flipping assembly.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the combination of the flipping component and the blocking component allows for easy flipping of the cartons transported by the conveyor. Since the blocking component is detachably connected to the flipping component, when the cartons do not need to be flipped, the blocking component can be removed and the flipping component can be kept inactive, thus preventing the cartons from being blocked during transport on the conveyor. When the cartons need to be flipped, the blocking component can be installed, and the flipping component can be activated when the cartons are blocked by the blocking component. This results in high overall adaptability.

[0016] The flipping and blocking components using this structure are simple in design and allow for easy flipping of the carton. Furthermore, the blocking bracket in the blocking component is easy to disassemble and install.

[0017] A buffer block is set up so that when the flipped component falls back, the connector will first come into contact with the buffer block, which will play a certain role in cushioning.

[0018] A hydraulic buffer is installed so that when the blocking component is lifted along with the flipping component, it will be slowed down by the hydraulic buffer, which will play a certain role in buffering.

[0019] Sensors are installed on the flipping bracket so that the carton can be detected when it enters the flipping assembly. Then, the flipping bracket can be controlled to rotate, causing the carton inside the flipping assembly to flip.

[0020] Protective mesh panels are installed on both sides of the conveyor to prevent users from touching the overturning components, thus enhancing safety.

[0021] A blocking component is set up so that when the flip component is flipping, the blocking component will prevent the carton from entering the flip component position. When the flip component resets, the blocking component is pressed down by the flip bracket of the flip component, and the carton can then enter the flip component position again.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] A carton flipping device includes a controller, a conveying device 1, a flipping component 2, and a blocking component 3, wherein:

[0030] The conveying device 1 includes a conveying support and multiple conveying rollers that are evenly arranged and rotatably connected to the conveying support. It mainly drives the carton to move by rotating the multiple conveying rollers.

[0031] The flipping assembly 2 includes two flipping brackets 4, multiple flipping connecting rods 5 connected between the two flipping brackets 4, and a cylinder for driving the flipping brackets 4 to rotate. The cylinder is connected to the flipping brackets 4 through a connector 9. The two flipping brackets 4 are rotatably connected to the conveyor bracket. Each flipping bracket 4 is L-shaped with a short side and a long side. Multiple grooves for the conveyor rollers to extend into and rotate are evenly arranged at the lower end of the long side. This way, the flipping bracket 4 will not affect the rotation of the conveyor rollers when it is in the initial state. A sensor 12 for detecting the carton is also provided on the flipping bracket 4. The sensor 12 can detect whether the carton has moved to the flipping position. The cylinder and the sensor 12 are electrically connected to the controller.

[0032] The blocking component 3 includes two blocking brackets 6 and multiple blocking connecting rods 7 connected between the two blocking brackets 6. The two blocking brackets 6 are respectively fixed to the short side of the flipping bracket 4 by locking parts 8. In this embodiment, the locking parts 8 are spring 19 plunger pins. The blocking brackets 6 can be quickly disassembled and assembled by spring 19 plunger pins. The blocking brackets 6 are evenly provided with multiple grooves for the conveying rollers to extend into and rotate at the end away from the flipping bracket 4. In this way, when the flipping bracket 4 drives the blocking brackets 6 to rotate to the flipping position, it will not affect the rotation of the conveying rollers.

[0033] Furthermore, when the flipping component 2 is in the initial state, the height of the uppermost horizontal plane of the flipping connecting rod 5 is lower than the height of the uppermost horizontal plane of the conveying roller, meaning that the flipping component 2 will not affect the conveying roller from conveying the carton. When the flipping component 2 is in the flipping completed state, the height of the uppermost horizontal plane of the blocking connecting rod 7 is lower than the height of the uppermost horizontal plane of the conveying roller, meaning that at this time the blocking component 3 will not affect the conveying roller from conveying the flipped carton.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the carton will move with the conveying equipment 1. When it moves to the flipping position (that is, one end of the carton is blocked by the blocking component 3), the controller will control the cylinder to drive the flipping bracket 4 to rotate. The flipping connecting rod 5 will drive the carton to rotate. After rotating to a certain angle, the carton will abut against the blocking connecting rod 7. When the flipping bracket 4 completes the rotation, the carton will complete the flipping and then be conveyed by the conveying equipment 1.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 2, a buffer block 10 is also provided on the conveying bracket. The position of the buffer block 10 corresponds to the position of the connector 9. When the flipping component 2 returns from the flipping completed state to the initial state, the connector 9 will first contact the buffer block 10 to achieve a certain buffering.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] The difference from Embodiment 2 is that in Embodiment 3, a hydraulic buffer 11 is also provided on the conveying support. The position of the hydraulic buffer 11 corresponds to the position of the blocking support 6. When the flipping component 2 is about to complete the flipping, the blocking support 6 in the blocking component 3 will contact the hydraulic buffer 11 first to achieve hydraulic buffering, reduce the rotation speed when the flipping is completed, and make it less likely for the carton to tip over after the flipping is completed.

[0039] Example 4:

[0040] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 4, protective mesh plates 13 are provided on both sides of the conveyor bracket corresponding to the flipping component 2, which can prevent users from touching the flipping component 2, thus improving overall safety.

[0041] Example 5:

[0042] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that Embodiment 5 also includes a blocking component 14. The blocking component 14 includes a fixed frame 15, a guide rod 16, a sliding plate 17, a baffle 18, and a spring 19. The fixed frame 15 is fixed to the bottom of the conveying bracket and has a through hole for the guide rod 16 to pass through. The guide rod 16 is vertically slidably connected to the fixed frame 15 through the through hole. A slider is fixed on the guide rod 16, and a spring 19 is provided between the slider and the fixed frame 15, which provides elastic force to the sliding plate 17.

[0043] When the flipping assembly 2 is in its initial state, the flipping bracket 4 will press down the guide rod 16, and the guide rod 16 will move down together with the slide plate 17 and the baffle 18. At this time, the baffle 18 will not block the movement of the carton. When the flipping assembly 2 flips, the flipping bracket 4 does not press down the guide rod 16. The guide rod 16 will bounce up under the action of the spring 19, and drive the slide plate 17 and the baffle 18 to move up together. At this time, the baffle 18 will block the movement of the carton.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.

[0045] For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications will undoubtedly be apparent after reading the above description. Therefore, the appended claims should be considered as covering all changes and modifications that encompass the true intent and scope of this utility model. Any and all equivalent scope and content within the scope of the claims should be considered as still falling within the intent and scope of this utility model.
