Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a rotating device, specifically to an auxiliary rotating structure for a carton attaching machine. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial post-printing process in printing plants, box gluing plays a vital role in transforming printed boxes into usable packaging. It involves precisely applying adhesive to firmly bond the various structural components of the box, ultimately forming a complete packaging box. Currently, the industry mainstream utilizes automated box gluing machines to complete this process. These machines, relying on pre-programmed automation and high-precision mechanical structures, can seamlessly perform all steps of gluing, folding and shaping, and bonding, significantly improving production efficiency and effectively mitigating errors from manual operation, thus ensuring the stability and consistency of packaging box quality.

[0003] In certain special box-type processing scenarios, due to the asymmetrical design of the box itself, or the areas to be glued being scattered on both sides of the box sheet, the box must be rotated 180° during processing to ensure that the glue application position is precisely matched with the folding structure of the box. However, existing automatic box-attaching machines are limited in function and cannot achieve this key rotational alignment action, making it difficult to meet the high-precision processing requirements of this type of specific box.

[0007] The first rotating component includes a first visual sensor and a first positioner sequentially disposed on the conveyor belt along the transport direction of the box to be formed; when the first visual sensor senses the box to be formed, the first positioner extends in advance to a corner of the box to be formed to restrict the movement of the box to be formed, so that the box to be formed rotates the first 90° under the action of the conveyor belt.

[0008] The second sorting component includes two opposing first guide plates for sorting the box to be formed after passing through the first rotating component;

These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, providing detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0025] Example

[0026] This embodiment provides an auxiliary rotating structure for a carton attaching machine, which is located next to the conveyor belt 1 of the carton attaching machine. See below for the specific structure. Figure 1-2 It includes a first rotating assembly, a second sorting assembly, a second rotating assembly, and a third sorting assembly, which are sequentially arranged on the conveyor belt along the transport direction of the box to be formed;

[0027] The first rotating component includes a first visual sensor 3 and a first positioner 5 sequentially arranged on the conveyor belt along the transport direction of the box to be formed 2; when the first visual sensor 3 senses the box to be formed 2, the first positioner 5 extends in advance to a corner of the box to be formed 2 to restrict the movement of the box to be formed 2, so that the box to be formed 2 rotates the first 90° under the action of the conveyor belt 1.

[0028] The second sorting component includes two opposing first guide plates 6, used to sort the box body 2 to be formed after passing through the first rotating component;

[0029] The second rotating component includes a second vision sensor 7 and a second positioner 9 sequentially arranged on the conveyor belt 1 along the transport direction of the box to be formed 2; when the second vision sensor 7 senses the box to be formed 2, the second positioner 9 extends in advance to a corner of the box to be formed 2 to restrict the movement of the box to be formed 2, so that the box to be formed 2 rotates a second 90° under the action of the conveyor belt 1.

[0030] The third sorting component includes two opposing second guide plates 10, used to sort the box body to be formed after passing through the second rotating component.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first rotating assembly further includes a first linear drive element 4, and the first positioner 5 is disposed on the drive end of the first linear drive element 4. Preferably, the first linear drive element 4 is a cylinder.

[0032] In this embodiment, the second rotating assembly further includes a second linear drive element 8, and the second positioner 9 is disposed on the drive end of the second linear drive element 8. Preferably, the second linear drive element 8 is a cylinder.

[0033] In this embodiment, the gap between the two opposing first guide plates 6 forms a first sorting channel. The portions of the two first guide plates 6 at the entrance end of the first sorting channel have an arc-shaped transition. The width of the wide end of the first sorting channel is greater than the width of the box body 2 to be formed, and the width of the narrow end is equal to the width of the box body 2 to be formed.

[0034] In this embodiment, the gap between the two opposing second guide plates 10 forms a second sorting channel. The portions of the two second guide plates 10 at the entrance end of the second sorting channel have an arc-shaped transition. The width of the wide end of the second sorting channel is greater than the width of the box body 2 to be formed, and the width of the narrow end is equal to the width of the box body 2 to be formed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotating structure further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the first visual sensor 3, the first positioner 5, the second visual sensor 7, and the second positioner 9. Specifically, after the first visual sensor 3 senses the box 2 to be formed, it sends a first signal to the controller. After receiving the first signal, the controller controls the first positioner 5 to move. After the second visual sensor 7 senses the box 2 to be formed, it sends a second signal to the controller. After receiving the second signal, the controller controls the second positioner 9 to move. The controller can preset the action delay time of the first positioner 5 and the second positioner 9. The controller can be a microcontroller, and the model of the controller is a well-known and mature technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] As the box to be formed 2 moves with the conveyor belt 1, it first passes through the first rotating assembly. The first vision sensor 3 detects the box and sends a signal to the controller. The controller drives the first linear drive element 4 to move the first positioner 5 to one corner of the box to be formed. Under the friction of the conveyor belt, the box to be formed completes its first 90° rotation around the blocking angle. Then, the box enters the second sorting assembly. A first sorting channel, formed by two opposing guide plates 6 with a gap between them (wide end in, narrow end out), corrects the box's posture if it has shifted after rotation. Next, the corrected box enters the second rotating assembly. The second vision sensor 7 detects the box and sends a signal to the controller. The controller drives the second linear drive element 8 to move the second positioner 9 to the other corner of the box. Under the action of the conveyor belt, the box completes its second 90° rotation. Finally, the box to be formed passes through the second sorting channel, formed by two opposing second guide plates 10, for a second posture calibration. It then enters the subsequent box-mounting process with a precise posture. The controller can preset the positioner's action delay time to ensure precise coordination at each stage.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from its technical solution shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
