[0008] Furthermore, a motor driver and a PLC controller are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the upper mounting base. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller, the PLC controller is electrically connected to the motor driver, and the motor driver is electrically connected to the linear module.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the linear module can be controlled using a PLC controller and a motor driver.
[0010] Furthermore, a conveying roller is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the upper mounting base, and a motor is fixedly mounted on the end face of the upper mounting base, with the rotating shaft of the motor fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft of the conveying roller.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a motor can be used to drive the conveyor rollers to rotate, and the conveyor rollers can be used to transport cartons.
[0012] Furthermore, a swivel ball is installed at one end of the movable rod.

[0018] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] This invention places stacked cartons on a support platform, then uses a linear module to raise the platform, increasing the height of the stacked cartons. The top carton then presses against a movable rod, compressing a spring and causing a pressure sensor to generate data, which is transmitted to the PLC controller. When the top carton is positioned in the conveyor position, the pressure sensor generates corresponding pressure data, activating the motor. The motor drives the conveyor rollers, which then reposition the top carton. As the top carton moves away, the pressure on the movable rod decreases, reducing the pressure data from the pressure sensor. The PLC controller then drives the linear module via a motor driver, raising the support platform and cartons, ensuring stable contact between subsequent cartons and the conveyor rollers. This improves overall conveying stability and effectively accommodates cartons of different sizes and thicknesses, significantly enhancing practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The method of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A conveying device for cartons includes a support base 1. A linear module 12 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support base 1. An upper mounting seat 5 is externally sleeved and fixed to the upper end of the linear module 12. A sliding seat 14 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the upper mounting seat 5. A movable rod 9 is slidably mounted in the sliding hole of the sliding seat 14. A universal ball 15 is installed at one end of the movable rod 9. An upper bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper mounting seat 5. A pressure sensor 13 (LCZ-205A) is snapped onto the upper end of the upper bracket 6. One end of the movable rod 9 is externally sleeved and fixed. A spring 16 is provided, with its other end resting against the force-bearing end of a pressure sensor 13. A motor driver 10 and a PLC controller 11 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the upper mounting base 5. The pressure sensor 13 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 11, the PLC controller 11 is electrically connected to the motor driver 10, and the motor driver 10 is electrically connected to the linear module 12. A support platform 4 is fixedly mounted on the moving end of the linear module 12. A conveyor roller 7 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the upper mounting base 5. A motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the end face of the upper mounting base 5. The rotation of the motor 8... One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the conveyor roller 7. During conveying, stacked cartons can be placed on the support platform 4, and then the height of the support platform 4 can be raised by the linear module 12, thus raising the height of the stacked cartons. At this time, the top carton can press against the movable rod 9, and the spring 16 is compressed, which causes the pressure sensor 13 to generate data and transmit it to the PLC controller 11. When the top carton is placed in the conveying position, the pressure sensor 13 generates corresponding pressure data, at which time the motor 8 is started, and the motor 8 drives the conveyor roller. As the conveyor roller 7 rotates, it can move the topmost carton. When the topmost carton is moved away, the pressure of the carton on the movable rod 9 decreases. At this time, the pressure data generated by the pressure sensor 13 decreases. Then, the PLC controller 11 drives the linear module 12 to rotate through the motor driver 10. The linear module 12 drives the support platform 4 and the carton to rise in height, ensuring that the subsequent carton can maintain stable contact with the conveyor roller 7, thereby improving the overall conveying stability. At the same time, it can effectively adapt to cartons of different sizes and thicknesses, and its practicality is effectively improved.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support base 1, and a belt conveyor 3 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the support frame 2. When conveying the carton, the belt conveyor 3 is started to convey the separated cartons one by one.
[0027] Working principle: In use, stacked cartons are placed on the support platform 4. Then, the linear module 12 raises the height of the support platform 4, causing the stacked cartons to rise. At this time, the top carton can press against the movable rod 9, compressing the spring 16. This causes the pressure sensor 13 to generate data, which is transmitted to the PLC controller 11. When the top carton is placed in the conveyor position, the pressure sensor 13 generates corresponding pressure data, at which point the motor 8 is started. The motor 8 drives the conveyor roller 7 to rotate, and the conveyor roller 7 can press against the top carton. The cartons are moved to different positions. When the top cartons are moved away, the pressure on the movable rod 9 decreases. At this time, the pressure data generated by the pressure sensor 13 decreases. Then, the PLC controller 11 drives the linear module 12 to rotate through the motor driver 10. The linear module 12 drives the support platform 4 and the height of the cartons to rise, ensuring that the subsequent cartons can maintain stable contact with the conveyor roller 7, thereby improving the overall conveying stability. The cartons are conveyed one by one and placed on the belt conveyor 3. Then, the belt conveyor 3 is used to carry out the orderly conveying operation of the cartons.
