Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard box processing technology, specifically to a vacuum adsorption palletizing robot for cardboard boxes. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of cardboard boxes, palletizing is generally the final step. Cardboard box palletizing involves manually or automatically placing individual cardboard boxes neatly onto pallets according to a predetermined layout. The palletizing process typically utilizes high-efficiency, high-precision robotic arms. Depending on the size of the cardboard box, the robotic arm's actuator is equipped with corresponding grippers. Palletizing robotic arm grippers generally employ clamping structures or vacuum suction cups to grip or pick up the cardboard boxes, efficiently and reliably completing the palletizing work. Existing palletizing robotic arm grippers generally use clamping structures or vacuum suction cups to grip or pick up the cardboard boxes. While clamping structures limit the cardboard box's freedom of movement in space, resulting in higher gripping reliability, their structural limitations often lead to interference with existing or upcoming stacks during palletizing. Vacuum suction cup robotic arm grippers have a simpler structure, with the cardboard box suspended below the suction cup, thus generally not affecting the stack layout during palletizing. Chinese patent discloses a robotic arm for carton palletizing (authorization announcement number CN207726377U). This patent discloses a robotic arm for carton palletizing, comprising: a base; a first motor mount mounted at the top center of the base; a rotating seat mounted on top of the first motor mount; the bottom of a first arm fixed to the rotating seat and secured by a first joint; a second motor mount mounted on top of the first arm, with a second motor mounted inside the second motor mount; a second arm mounted on the second motor mount; a third motor mount mounted at the front end of the second arm, with a third motor mounted inside the third motor mount; a mounting plate fixed to the output shaft of the third motor; a cylinder fixed to the center of the mounting plate; and a first vacuum gripper and a second vacuum gripper symmetrically mounted on the left and right sides of the cylinder, with the first and second vacuum grippers respectively connected to the cylinder's telescopic shaft. This robotic arm for carton palletizing has a high degree of automation, a large range of motion, and supports both vacuum suction and gripping palletizing methods, allowing for switching between palletizing modes according to actual palletizing requirements. This patented technology solves the problem that current palletizing robots on the market either use a gripping structure or a suction cup structure, and there is no carton palletizing robot that can both grip and vacuum suck at the same time. In addition, most carton palletizing robots on the market currently only have two or three movable joints, resulting in poor freedom of movement of the robot.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the robotic arm can only grip cartons of a certain size when gripping them. It is necessary to solve the problem of adjusting the position of the vacuum suction cup according to the size of the cartons in the existing technology.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a vacuum adsorption palletizing robot for cardboard boxes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0034] For examples, please refer to Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a vacuum adsorption palletizing robot for cardboard boxes, including: an assembly frame 1; a robot structure 2 is assembled at the bottom of the assembly frame 1;

[0035] The robotic arm structure 2 includes a vacuum adsorption structure 1 21 and a vacuum adsorption structure 22 fixedly installed inside the assembly frame 1. The vacuum adsorption structure 1 21 and vacuum adsorption structure 22 have identical structures and are fixedly installed inside the assembly frame 1 in an alternating manner. The vacuum adsorption structure 1 21 includes a fixed frame 2101 fixedly installed inside the assembly frame 1. Two reciprocating screw blocks 2102 are movably arranged inside the fixed frame 2101. An assembly shaft cylinder 2103 is fixed inside the reciprocating screw blocks 2102, and a vertical screw 2104 is helically driven inside the assembly shaft cylinder 2103. An air extraction hole is opened inside the vertical screw 2104, and a vacuum suction cup 2110 is connected through the bottom end of the vertical screw 2104.

[0036] The top end of the vertical screw 2104 is rotatably and sealingly connected to a vacuum hose 26, and the end of the vacuum hose 26 away from the vertical screw 2104 is connected to an adsorption tube 25. The bottom end of the adsorption tube 25 is connected to a vacuum pump 24. An assembly housing 23 is fixed to the outside of the vacuum pump 24, and the assembly housing 23 is fixedly installed inside the fixing frame 2101.

[0037] The reciprocating screw block 2102 is equipped with a double-acting lead screw 2105 on its inner side, and a worm gear 2106 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the middle part of the double-acting lead screw 2105. The worm gear 2106 meshes with a worm 2107, and a cross handwheel 2108, which is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the fixed frame 2101, is fixedly installed at the center of the worm 2107. A cross handwheel 2109 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top end of the vertical screw 2104.

[0038] The assembly frame 1 has an assembly rack 3 at its top, and a load-bearing shaft 5 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the assembly rack 3. A transmission rod 7 is fixedly installed at the center of the load-bearing shaft 5. The bottom end of the transmission rod 7 is integrally fixed to the assembly frame 1, and a worm gear 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transmission rod 7. The worm gear 6 meshes with a worm 8, and one end of the worm 8 is connected to a servo motor 9 fixedly installed on the inner side of the assembly rack 3. An assembly plate 4 is integrally fixed at the top of the assembly rack 3.

[0039] According to the above embodiments, the working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0040] The assembly frame 3 is fixedly installed on the mechanical mobile phone frame via the assembly tray 4;

[0041] The assembly frame 1 at the bottom of the assembly frame 3 can be started by the servo motor 9. The start of the servo motor 9 drives the worm gear 8 to rotate. The rotating worm gear 8 meshes with the worm wheel 6, which drives the transmission rod 7 to rotate. This causes the transmission rod 7 to rotate circumferentially relative to the assembly frame 3, which is convenient for adjusting its angle position.

[0042] Furthermore, the positions of the vacuum suction cups 2110 of vacuum adsorption structure 1 21 and vacuum adsorption structure 22 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the cardboard.

[0043] When adjusting the position of the vacuum suction cup 2110, the cross handwheel 2108 is manually rotated. The rotation of the cross handwheel 2108 simultaneously drives the worm gear 2107 to rotate. The worm gear 2107 meshes with the worm wheel 2106 and rotates. The worm wheel 2106 drives the double-acting screw 2105 to rotate. The double-acting screw 2105 drives the reciprocating screw block 2102 to perform helical transmission. The reciprocating screw block 2102 drives the vertical screw 2104 inside the mounting cylinder 2103 to move inside the fixed frame 2101, thereby adjusting the position of the vacuum suction cup 2110.

[0044] When the cardboard is vacuum-adsorbed by the vacuum suction cup 2110, the vacuum pump 24 is turned on and off. The vacuum pump 24 draws the vacuum hose 26 through the suction tube 25. The vacuum hose 26 is then adsorbed and gripped by the vacuum suction cup 2110 connected to the bottom of the vertical screw 2104, which is conducive to the stable adsorption and gripping of cardboard boxes of different sizes.
