Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is applied to the field of automated material handling machinery, and in particular to a packaging box material handling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated packaging box production, with the continuous improvement of consumer market requirements for product packaging efficiency and quality, traditional manual material handling methods can no longer meet the needs of modern production. Existing packaging box material handling equipment generally suffers from the following technical bottlenecks: In the material transfer stage, conventional conveying devices can only achieve linear conveying and lack the function of automatically separating randomly stacked products, which leads to the accumulation and misalignment of products during the conveying process, requiring manual intervention and adjustment; In the design of the pushing mechanism, traditional reciprocating pushing devices require the conveying mechanism to stop and wait when the pushing action is completed, and the pushing device must reset and wait after the action is completed, forming an intermittent working mode of "transportation pause - push - retraction - transport continue - push again". This non-continuous operation mode seriously restricts the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical pain points, the industry has attempted improvements such as adding sensor detection and optimizing mechanical structures, but these methods generally result in increased equipment complexity and higher maintenance costs. Therefore, to overcome the shortcomings of the aforementioned packaging box sorting equipment, it would be beneficial to develop a new type of packaging box sorting machine. This machine would have a simple structure, low design cost, and, through the collaborative working mechanism of a synchronous belt transmission system and a sliding guide rail pushing mechanism, achieve fully automated operation from haphazard feeding to precise sorting. It would be an automated sorting equipment with efficient transmission, continuous pushing, and adaptive sorting functions. Utility Model Content

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material handling tray 45 is uniformly provided with a plurality of guide baffles 450 of varying lengths and at least one guide block 451. The guide baffles 450 of varying lengths are symmetrically distributed, and their lengths gradually increase from the inside to the outside. Thus, the material handling tray 45 provides support and fixation for the guide baffles 450 and guide blocks 451 of varying lengths.

Several products are packaged into two groups of products from the center outwards via the guide blocks 451. The guide baffles 450 guide the movement of the products, and the guide blocks 451 guide the packaging of the products.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the top-view orthographic projection of the guide block 451 is Y-shaped.
