Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a box gluing machine, specifically to a sensor counting device for the box gluing machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the packaging and printing industry, box gluing machines are one of the most important post-printing processing equipment. Currently, with the rapid development of my country's packaging and printing industry, the application of box gluing machines is becoming increasingly widespread. Packaging boxes for food, pharmaceuticals, health products, cosmetics, alcoholic beverages, and light industrial products are basically all processed using box gluing machines.
[0003] After processing the cardboard boxes, the gluing machine needs to count and pack them. Currently, manual counting and packing are used, which is labor-intensive, wastes significant human resources, and results in low production efficiency. Therefore, a sensor-based counting device for the gluing machine is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this disclosure is to provide a sensing and counting device for a box-gluing machine, so as to effectively solve the problems raised by the inventors in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A sensor counting device for a gluing machine includes a gluing machine main base. The main base has an installation port on its right side, into which a paper conveying assembly is installed. An L-shaped measuring frame is fixedly installed at the lower right end of the main base. Four elastic components arranged in a rectangular array are installed on the top surface of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped measuring frame. A load-bearing plate is movably installed on each elastic component, located diagonally below the paper conveying assembly. A sensor counting assembly is installed on the left side of the top of the main base, extending above the paper conveying assembly.
[0007] Preferably, the sensing and counting assembly includes an electric push rod, a T-shaped mounting plate, an infrared sensing counter, and an infrared sensing probe. The electric push rod is fixedly installed on the top of the main body base of the gluing box machine. The T-shaped mounting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod, and an infrared sensing counter is fixedly installed on the top of the T-shaped mounting plate. An infrared sensing probe is installed on the bottom of the T-shaped mounting plate, and the infrared sensing probe faces the paper conveying assembly. The infrared sensing counter is connected to the infrared sensing probe.
[0008] Preferably, the elastic component includes a limiting column, a sleeve block, and a load-bearing compression spring. The limiting column is fixedly connected to the L-shaped measuring frame, the sleeve block is slidably installed through the limiting column, and a load-bearing compression spring is fixedly connected between the sleeve block and the L-shaped measuring frame. The load-bearing compression spring is sleeved on the limiting column.
[0009] Preferably, the load-bearing plate has a through hole, and the limiting column passes through the through hole, with the bottom of the load-bearing plate overlapping the top of the sleeve block.
[0010] Preferably, a distance detector is fixedly installed on the horizontal part of the L-shaped measuring frame, and the distance detector is located below the load-bearing plate; an indicator light is fixedly installed on the vertical part of the L-shaped measuring frame.
[0011] Preferably, the paper conveying assembly includes a drive roller, a working motor, and a paper conveying belt. Two drive rollers are rotatably installed inside the mounting opening, and the two drive rollers are connected by a paper conveying belt. A working motor is fixedly installed on the side of the main body base of the gluing machine, and the output end of the working motor is fixedly connected to the drive roller. Several support legs are fixedly installed at the bottom of the main body base of the gluing machine.
[0012] In view of this, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] (I) In this application, the working motor and the infrared sensor counter are turned on and running. The working motor drives the transmission roller to rotate, so that the paper conveyor belt moves, and then the paper box is transported on the paper conveyor belt. When a paper box passes the infrared sensor, it will be recorded. In this way, the number of paper boxes transported to the load-bearing plate will be recorded, thereby achieving the purpose of counting. It is efficient and reliable and suitable for paper box transport produced by gluing machine.
[0014] (ii) In this application, during the transmission, the cardboard boxes are gradually stacked onto the load-bearing plate, increasing their overall weight. The sleeve block will then move downwards, compressing the load-bearing spring. The distance detector will detect the height of the load-bearing plate. When the preset value is reached, that is, when enough cardboard boxes are stacked on the load-bearing plate, the distance detector will transmit a signal to the computer of the peripheral device, and then the control indicator light will light up, indicating that a round of counting is completed and the stacked cardboard boxes can be removed for batch and orderly storage and retrieval.
