Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard, and in particular to an automatic cardboard positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] Paperboard, also known as cardboard, is a thick sheet of paper made from various pulps and interwoven fibers. It is often used as outer packaging for various products. It is usually made from various plant fibers, but sometimes non-plant fibers are added. It is made by forming paper on a paperboard machine.

[0003] CN217495364U discloses a "Carton Positioning Device for a Fully Automatic Carton Gluing Machine," comprising conveyor belt A and conveyor belt B installed perpendicularly. A fixed base is located at the bottom side of conveyor belt B, with a column mounted on the fixed base. A mounting block is mounted on the column, and a sliding rod is connected to the mounting block. A slider is mounted on the sliding rod. The slider is activated by a motor, moving along the sliding rod to position the cardboard at the junction of conveyor belts A and B. A hydraulic motor is mounted at the bottom of the slider, connected to a hydraulic rod, which in turn is connected to a support frame. The hydraulic motor extends and retracts the hydraulic rod, causing the support frame to move up and down, positioning the cardboard. An air compressor is mounted on the support frame, connected via an air supply pipe to a suction cup at the bottom of support rod A. The negative pressure output by the air compressor causes the suction cup to adsorb the cardboard. After adsorption, the cardboard moves upward under the drive of the hydraulic motor, and then the motor on the slider moves the slider along the sliding rod to position the cardboard.

[0004] Although the aforementioned fully automatic cardboard positioning device for gluing machines has certain advantages in positioning capabilities, it has a complex structure, poor positioning effect, and is not convenient for centering different cardboards, which is not conducive to subsequent printing processing of the cardboard and can easily affect the quality of subsequent printing.

The middle of the rear side of the upper end face of the rectangular plate is provided with a driving structure. The middle of the left end face of the rectangular plate is fixedly connected to the baffle structure.

[0007] Optionally, the drive structure includes a motor, a bidirectional screw, a bearing, a push-align plate, and a limiting rod. The output end of the motor is connected to the bidirectional screw via a drive, and the other end of the bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the bearing.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an automatic cardboard positioning device, including a cardboard conveyor belt 1, a fixing plate 2, and a positioning structure 3. The fixing plate 2 is fixed to the front and rear sides of the cardboard conveyor belt 1, and the upper end face of the fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the positioning structure 3. The positioning structure 3 includes a rectangular plate 31, a rectangular groove 32, a limiting plate 33, a driving structure 34, and a baffle structure 35. The rectangular plate 31 has rectangular grooves 32 on the front and rear sides of the upper end face. The limiting plates 33 are fixed to both the front and rear ends of the upper side of the rectangular plate 31. The driving structure 34 is provided in the middle of the rear side of the upper end face of the rectangular plate 31. The middle of the left end face of the rectangular plate 31 is fixedly connected to the baffle structure 35. An infrared sensor 4 is installed on the right side of the middle of the lower end face of the rectangular plate 31 to facilitate the detection of the cardboard transportation status. The infrared sensor 4 is of model HE-155, which uses infrared light for data processing and has high sensitivity.

[0023] Please see Figure 4This utility model provides an automatic cardboard positioning device. The driving structure 34 includes a motor 341, a bidirectional screw 342, a bearing 343, a push-aligning plate 344, and a limiting rod 345. The output end of the motor 341 is connected to the bidirectional screw 342, and the other end of the bidirectional screw 342 is rotatably connected to the bearing 343. The front end face of the bearing 343 is fixedly connected to the rear end face of the front limiting plate 33. Push-aligning plates 344 are respectively inserted through the front and rear sides of the bidirectional screw 342. Limiting rods 345 are fixed to the left and right sides of the top of the two adjacent ends of the two limiting plates 33, and the limiting rods 345 are inserted through the two push-aligning plates 344. The motor 341 is installed on the rear side of the middle of the upper end face of the rectangular plate 31. The two push-aligning plates 344 are symmetrically distributed, which is beneficial for centering and positioning the cardboard. The inner wall of the push-aligning plate 344... The push plate 344 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 342, facilitating the transmission of the push plate 344 via the bidirectional screw 342. The two limit rods 345 are parallel to the bidirectional screw 352, which helps to limit the push plate 344. The lower end face of the push plate 344 is in contact with the upper end face of the cardboard conveyor belt 1, and the push plate 344 slides along the cardboard conveyor belt 1, which helps the push plate 344 to push and straighten cardboard of different thicknesses. The control system calculates the data of cardboard of different widths to determine the adjustment position of the push plate 344. An encoder is installed on the shaft of the motor 341. The encoder generates a series of pulse signals to indicate the rotation of the motor. By controlling the motor 341 to drive the push plate 344 to move to a preset distance, the centering and positioning of the cardboard is completed, avoiding squeezing and damage to cardboard of different widths.

[0024] Please see Figure 5 This utility model provides an automatic cardboard positioning device. The baffle structure 35 includes a mounting plate 351, an electric push rod 352 and a baffle 353. The electric push rod 352 is mounted on the upper end of the mounting plate 351. The lower end of the electric push rod 352 passes through the mounting plate 351 and is fixedly connected to the baffle 353. The right end of the mounting plate 351 is fixedly connected to the rectangular plate 31.

[0025] The working principle is as follows:

[0026] First, place the new device in the desired location and connect the circuitry.

[0027] Second, the cardboard is transported by the cardboard conveyor belt 1. The cardboard moves from right to left. Whenever the infrared sensor 4 detects that the cardboard is passing to the left, the infrared sensor 4 feeds back data to the external controller. The external controller controls the electric push rod 352 to extend. The electric push rod 352 pushes the baffle 353 to move downward. After the baffle 353 blocks the cardboard, the operation of the cardboard conveyor belt 1 stops.

[0028] Third, when the baffle 353 blocks the cardboard, the motor 341 rotates, and the output end of the motor 341 drives the bidirectional screw 342 to rotate. The bidirectional screw 342, being parallel to the limit rod 345, drives the two push plates 344 to approach each other using the rectangular slot 32. After the push plates 344 push the cardboard 353 to be aligned, the electric push rod 352 retracts, and the motor 341 controls the push plates 344 to reset, achieving the effect of centering and positioning the cardboard. After the action is completed, the limit on the cardboard is released, and the cardboard conveyor belt 1 resumes operation through the external controller, thus completing a complete positioning action. This allows the cardboard conveyor belt 1 to transport the cardboard to the left, facilitating subsequent printing work.

[0029] The control method of this utility model is to control the device by manually starting and stopping the switch. The wiring diagram of the power element and the supply of power are common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and wiring layout will not be explained in detail.

[0030] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
