Detailed Implementation
[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This utility model will be described in detail.
[0021] This utility model discloses a sunken cardboard feeding device for a cardboard box forming machine, comprising a rack for stacking cardboard and a platform for transporting cardboard. The rack is positioned above the platform, with L-shaped columns at its four corners. The cardboard box forming machine is used to fold cardboard into boxes, catering to different folding requirements. Cardboard shapes vary, and this rack is particularly suitable for rectangular cardboard. The L-shaped columns correspond to the four outer corners of the cardboard, ensuring precise and stable stacking within the rack. Support platforms are located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the rack, with the bottommost cardboard contacting these platforms. Each support platform is equipped with a first driving device, which includes a retractable push plate. A gap exists between the L-shaped columns and the support platforms, allowing the push plate to extend through this gap into the rack and push the bottommost cardboard onto the platform. Specifically, the cardboard is stacked in the rack, and the two support platforms support the bottom cardboard. When feeding, the pusher plate on the left first extends into the rack and pushes the cardboard to the right side of the rack, causing the cardboard to shift and leave the left support platform. Under the action of gravity, the left side of the cardboard will sink slightly, making the height of the left side of the cardboard lower than the support platform. Then the pusher plate on the right pushes the cardboard to the left. Since the cardboard has lost the support of the left support platform at this time, when the cardboard is pushed to the point of detaching from the right support platform, the cardboard loses the support of all the support platforms and falls onto the rack, and the feeding of a single cardboard is completed.
[0022] The material platform is equipped with a guide opening. At the bottom of the platform are guide pillars parallel to the guide blocks and a movable plate movably connected to the guide pillars. A pusher block extends through the guide opening and above the platform from the upper end of the movable plate. The platform is equipped with a second driving device that can displace the movable plate, causing the pusher block to push the cardboard on the platform. After the cardboard falls onto the platform, the second driving device drives the movable plate to displace, causing the pusher block to move along the guide opening. During this movement, the pusher block pushes the cardboard to a designated position, allowing it to be fed into the box forming machine so that the feeding device can grab and load the cardboard. The recessed cardboard feeding structure allows the conveying equipment to be located below the material rack, reducing the volume occupied by the upper components of the machine frame and saving costs. When adding cardboard to the rack for later use, workers do not need to avoid or shut down the cardboard conveying equipment; the feeding method is fast and safe.
[0023] The first driving device is equipped with a rotating rod and a connecting plate. Multiple push plates are provided, all fixedly connected to the connecting plates. An eccentric block is provided on the rotating rod, and a connecting rod is provided between the eccentric block and the connecting plate. The first driving device is equipped with a first motor that drives the rotating rod to rotate back and forth. In this design, each connecting plate is equipped with at least two push plates, and the two push plates are close to the L-shaped column. The rotating rod, eccentric block, and connecting rod are interconnected to form a swing arm structure. The first motor drives the connecting plate to move, causing the push plates to push the cardboard out. By having the connecting plate carry multiple push plates to simultaneously push the cardboard, stability and feeding accuracy can be improved, and cardboard misalignment can be avoided.
[0024] The first driving device is equipped with a positioning plate with positioning holes, and a connecting plate is equipped with a balance rod that is movably connected to the positioning holes. In this design, the positioning holes have a certain depth, and after the balance rod is connected to the positioning holes, the balance rod can maintain stable extension and retraction, which can avoid the connection plate from having height differences during displacement and improve stability.
[0025] The support platforms are spaced apart, and each support platform is equipped with a shovel plate. The space between the two support platforms allows for the feeding of cardboard, which is usually made of stiff cardboard. Even if one side of the cardboard detaches from the support platform, the cardboard will not tilt significantly. The shovel plate is formed by the top surface of the support platform and the bottom slope of the support platform, creating an acute angle at the edge of the support platform to facilitate the feeding of cardboard.
[0026] The material rack has first slide rails on both sides, each slide rail having a first slider and a second slider. A support platform and a first drive device on one side of the bottom of the material rack are connected to the first slider, while a support platform and a first drive device on the other side of the bottom of the material rack are connected to the second slider. The support platform has a second slide rail, and a third slider is mounted on the second slide rail. The L-shaped columns have connecting blocks that connect to the corresponding third sliders. By adjusting the positions of the first and second sliders, the distance between the two support platforms can be adjusted, thus changing the width of the material rack. By adjusting the position of the third slider, the distance between the L-shaped columns can be adjusted, thus changing the length of the material rack. This allows for the processing of various sizes of cardboard.
[0027] The second drive device is equipped with a second motor and a transmission screw. Both the second motor and the transmission screw are equipped with synchronous pulleys, and a transmission belt is provided between the two synchronous pulleys. The transmission screw is threadedly connected to the movable plate. The second motor is located inside the material platform, and the transmission screw is indirectly driven to rotate through the synchronous pulleys, causing the movable plate to move. This structure can reduce the length of the second drive device, thereby reducing the volume of the material platform and the space occupied by the equipment.
[0028] A guide bar is installed above the material platform to calibrate the position of the cardboard. A limiting block is also installed above the material platform to restrict the movement of the cardboard. After the cardboard falls onto the material platform, the pusher uses one side of the cardboard as the contact surface to push it out of position. However, the equipment will always vibrate, and the cardboard will inevitably shift laterally during the displacement process, causing misalignment. The guide bar calibrates the position of the cardboard, ensuring precise displacement to the designated location. The pusher moves the cardboard relatively quickly; after the pusher stops, the cardboard will have some inertia. The limiting block stops the cardboard, keeping it in place at the designated position.
[0029] The left and right sides in this utility model description are only used as directional references and have no special meaning.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of this invention. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
