Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of box packing technology, and in particular to a box packing device based on a robotic arm. Background Technology
[0002] A robotic arm-based packing and packaging machine is a device that semi-automatically or automatically loads unpackaged or small-packaged products into transport packaging. Its working principle is to pack products into boxes (corrugated cardboard boxes, plastic boxes, pallets) in a certain arrangement and quantity, and close or seal the opening of the box. According to the requirements of the packing machine, it should have the functions of cardboard box forming (or opening cardboard boxes), measurement, and packing.
[0003] Existing robotic arm-based packing and packaging equipment typically involves automated equipment packing the boxes, which are then conveyed to the next process by a conveyor belt. The four cover plates are then folded manually, and the boxes are sealed with tape sealing machines. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing robotic arm-based packing and packaging equipment, which typically involves automated equipment packing followed by a conveyor belt transporting the boxes to the next process where manual sealing is required. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also inefficient. Therefore, this invention proposes a robotic arm-based packing and packaging equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A carton packing and packaging device based on a robotic arm includes a carton opener, one end of which is connected to a carton conveyor belt, and the other end of the carton conveyor belt is connected to a conveyor belt. One end of the conveyor belt extends into the packaging device. Two sets of positioning cylinders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the carton conveyor belt, and a color box conveyor belt is arranged on one side of the carton conveyor belt. A color box is placed on the top of the color box conveyor belt. A robotic arm is arranged on one side of the carton conveyor belt. An infrared sensor and a tape sealing machine are installed inside the packaging device. An installation block is welded to the inside of the packaging device, and a fixing block is welded to the top of the installation block. A cylinder is clamped inside the fixing block and forms a rotating structure through a first rotating shaft. A connecting block is connected to the end of the cylinder, and the connecting block is connected to the cylinder through a second rotating shaft. One end of the connecting block forms a rotating structure with a baffle through a third rotating shaft. A PLC controller is installed on the top of the cylinder, and a base plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the installation block.
[0007] Preferably, a sponge suction cup is installed at the end of the robotic arm.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom ends of the base plate are arc-shaped.
[0009] Preferably, the connecting block forms a rotating structure with the cylinder via a second rotating shaft, and a connecting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block.
[0010] Preferably, the color box conveyor belt, the carton conveyor belt, and the top of the conveyor belt are at the same horizontal height.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting block is equipped with two sets of diagonal rods, and the diagonal rods are bent with a bending angle of 15°.
[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, the box after packing enters the packaging equipment via a conveyor belt. The cylinder is retracted under the control of an infrared sensor and a PLC controller. The first, second, and third rotating shafts move simultaneously, causing the connecting plate to rotate 90° counterclockwise. The box moves to below the bottom plate and abuts against it. As it continues to move, the bottom plate folds the front cover of the box and moves to the diagonal rods. The two diagonal rods abut against the left and right cover plates of the box. As the box moves, these cover plates are folded. At this time, the cylinder extends, causing the connecting plate to rotate 90° clockwise, folding the top rear cover plate of the box. After all four cover plates are folded, the box moves to the bottom of the tape sealing machine for sealing, achieving fully automated box sealing without manual operation, thus improving work efficiency.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 A carton packing and packaging device based on a robotic arm includes a carton opener 1, a color box conveyor belt 2, a carton conveyor belt 3, a conveyor belt 4, a carton body 5, a color box 6, a positioning cylinder 7, a robotic arm 8, a sponge suction cup 9, a packaging device 10, a base plate 11, a connecting plate 12, a mounting block 13, a fixing block 14, a first rotating shaft 15, a cylinder 16, a PLC controller 17, a tape sealing machine 18, an infrared sensor 19, a connecting block 20, a second rotating shaft 21, a baffle 22, a third rotating shaft 23, and a diagonal bar 24. One end of the carton opener 1 is connected to the carton conveyor belt 3, and one end of the carton conveyor belt 3 is connected to the conveyor belt 4. One end of the conveyor belt 4 extends into the packaging device 10. Positioning cylinders 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the carton conveyor belt 3, and a positioning cylinder 7 is provided on one side of the carton conveyor belt 3. A color box conveyor belt 2 is provided, with a color box 6 placed on top of it. A robotic arm 8 is provided on one side of a carton conveyor belt 3. An infrared sensor 19 is installed inside the packaging equipment 10, and a tape sealing machine 18 is installed inside the packaging equipment 10. An installation block 13 is welded inside the packaging equipment 10, and a fixing block 14 is welded to the top of the installation block 13. The fixing block 14 holds a cylinder 16 and forms a rotating structure through a first rotating shaft 15. A connecting block 20 is connected to the end of the cylinder 16, and the connecting block 20 is connected to the cylinder 16 through a second rotating shaft 21. One end of the connecting block 20 forms a rotating structure with a baffle 22 through a third rotating shaft 23. A PLC controller 17 is installed on the top of the cylinder 16, and a base plate 11 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the installation block 13.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a sponge suction cup 9 is installed at the end of the robotic arm 8. When the robotic arm 8 is started, it uses the sponge suction cup 9 at the end to pick up the color box 6 and transport it into the box 5.
[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom ends of the base plate 11 are arc-shaped. After the box 5 comes into contact with the base plate 11, the box 5 continues to move, and the base plate 11 will fold the front cover of the box 5.
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the connecting block 20 forms a rotating structure with the cylinder 16 via the second rotating shaft 21, and the connecting plate 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block 20. When the cylinder 16 is started, the first rotating shaft 15, the second rotating shaft 21, and the third rotating shaft 23 will move simultaneously through the cylinder 16 retraction, thereby driving the connecting plate 12 to rotate 90° counterclockwise.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the top horizontal heights of color box conveyor belt 2, carton conveyor belt 3, and conveyor belt 4 are consistent.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, two sets of diagonal rods 24 are installed at the bottom of the mounting block 13. The diagonal rods 24 are bent and the bending angle is 15°. When the box 5 moves to the diagonal rods 24, the two sets of diagonal rods 24 abut against the left and right cover plates of the box 5. As the box 5 moves, it can be folded.
[0027] Working principle: During use, after the color box 6 is produced on the assembly line, it enters the color box conveyor belt 2. The box body 5 is unfolded by the box opener 1. After unfolding, the box body 5 is transported to the positioning cylinder 7 by the carton conveyor belt 3. The positioning cylinder 7 fixes it in place. After it is fixed, the robotic arm 8 is activated. The robotic arm 8 uses the sponge suction cup 9 at its end to pick up the color box 6 and transport it into the box body 5. After completion, the positioning cylinder 7 disengages from the box body 5. The box body 5 can then enter the packaging equipment 10 through the conveyor belt 4. When entering, the infrared light emitted by the infrared sensor 19 is reflected back to the infrared sensor 9 by the box body 5. The sensor converts the received infrared signal into an electrical signal and sends it to the PLC controller. 17. The cylinder 16 is started by the PLC controller 17. When the cylinder 16 is retracted, the first rotating shaft 15, the second rotating shaft 21, and the third rotating shaft 23 will move simultaneously, thereby driving the connecting plate 12 to rotate 90° counterclockwise. At this time, the box 5 moves to the bottom plate 11 and abuts against the bottom plate 11. As it continues to move, the bottom plate 11 will fold the front cover of the box 5 and move to the diagonal bar 24. The two diagonal bars 24 abut against the left and right cover plates of the box 5. As the box 5 moves, it can be folded. At this time, the cylinder 16 extends and drives the connecting plate 12 to rotate 90° clockwise, folding the rear cover plate of the box 5. After all four cover plates are folded, the box 5 moves to the bottom of the tape sealing machine 18 for sealing.
