Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of carton conveying technology, specifically relating to a flipping mechanism for carton palletizing and conveying. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the modern logistics and packaging industry, cardboard boxes, as the most widely used packaging container, have become crucial for improving logistics efficiency and reducing costs through automation and efficiency in their palletizing and conveying processes. With the booming development of e-commerce, express delivery, and manufacturing, enterprises are increasingly demanding cardboard box palletizing and conveying equipment, placing higher requirements on the flexibility, stability, and intelligence of these devices. Especially in the specific segment of cardboard box flipping, traditional technologies are struggling to meet the industry's ever-evolving needs.

[0003] Traditional carton palletizing and turning mechanisms generally suffer from limited functionality. Most devices only have a fixed turning function and cannot flexibly switch the carton conveying mode according to actual production needs. In actual production, different orders have significantly different requirements for carton handling. Some cartons may not need to be turned and can be directly stacked, but traditional equipment cannot recognize and skip the turning process, resulting in surface wear and even damage to the cartons during unnecessary turning, increasing packaging costs for enterprises. At the same time, when production tasks require switching between turning and non-turning modes, traditional equipment often relies on manual adjustment or machine shutdown for debugging, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming but also seriously affects production continuity, making it difficult to adapt to the market trend of rapid switching between small-batch, multi-variety orders. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a carton palletizing and conveying device that follows and positions the cartons to solve the above problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A flipping mechanism for palletizing and conveying cartons includes a frame, with cylinders installed at the four corners of the top of the frame. A mounting base is installed on the top of the four cylinders. A limit seat is installed on the top of the mounting base. A connecting seat is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting base. A flipping component is provided above the connecting seat. The limit seat cooperates with the flipping component.

[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the flipping assembly includes a fixed seat fixedly installed on the side wall of the connecting seat, and a rotating roller is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the fixed seat.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, a plurality of arrayed flipping plates are fixed to the outer wall of the rotating roller.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, a driven incomplete gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating roller and located on one side of the fixed seat, and a driving gear that meshes with the driven incomplete gear is rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting seat and located below the driven incomplete gear.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, a servo motor is fixedly installed on the other side wall of the connecting seat and on the symmetrical plane of the driving gear. A rotating rod that passes through and rotates on the side wall of the connecting seat is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor. The output end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the driving gear.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, a rotating rod that penetrates the side wall of the connecting seat is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor, and the output end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the drive gear.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Unlike existing technologies, this device uses a linkage design between a cylinder and a flipping component to quickly switch between two working states. When the carton does not need to be flipped, the cylinder retracts to lower the mechanism below the plane of the stacking wheel, and the carton is directly conveyed in a straight line. When flipping is required, the cylinder lifts and supports the carton, and the flipping component driven by a servo motor completes the action. The entire switching process requires no manual intervention.

[0014] 2. Unlike existing technologies, it adopts a simple gear transmission and cylinder lifting structure: the driving gear and the driven incomplete gear mesh to drive the rotating roller, and the vertical lifting of the cylinder realizes the integration of flipping and conveying functions.

[0015] 3. Unlike existing technologies, the precise and stable flipping process is ensured through the coordinated control of the limit seat and the servo motor. The limit seat positions the carton during flipping to prevent deviation; the servo motor can precisely adjust the speed of the drive gear so that the flipping plate pushes the carton at a constant speed.

[0021] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a carton palletizing and conveying flipping mechanism includes a frame 1, cylinders 2, and a mounting base 3. The flipping mechanism is supported by the frame 1. Cylinders 2 are installed at the four corners of the top of the frame 1 to realize the lifting and lowering of the mechanism. The tops of the four cylinders 2 are connected to the mounting base 3. The mounting base 3 is provided with a limit seat 7 and a connecting seat 11. The flipping component is installed on the connecting seat 11, including a fixed seat 9, a rotating roller 6, a flipping plate 4, a driven incomplete gear 5, a driving gear 8, and a servo motor 10, which is used to perform the carton flipping action. The limit seat 7 cooperates with the flipping component to limit and fix the flipping component to ensure the stability of the flipping process. The flipping mechanism is located in the middle of the two accumulation wheel channels and can switch between two working states of carton linear conveying or flipping conveying according to actual needs.

[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the frame 1 serves as the support base for the entire mechanism. Cylinders 2 are installed at the four corners of its top. The top of the four cylinders 2 is equipped with a mounting base 3. Through the extension and retraction of the cylinders 2, the mounting base 3 and its components can be raised and lowered, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the flipping mechanism in different working states.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a connecting seat 11 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting base 3. A flipping assembly is provided on the connecting seat 11. The flipping assembly includes a fixed seat 9 fixedly installed on the side wall of the connecting seat 11. A rotating roller 6 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the fixed seat 9. The rotating roller 6 can rotate freely within the fixed seat 9. Several arrayed flipping plates 4 are fixed to the outer side wall of the rotating roller 6. The flipping plates 4 rotate with the rotating roller 6 and are used to push the carton to achieve the flipping action. A driven incomplete gear 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side wall of the rotating roller 6 and located on one side of the fixed seat 9. A driving gear that meshes with the driven incomplete gear 5 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting seat 11 and located below the driven incomplete gear 5. 8. When the drive gear 8 rotates, it can drive the driven incomplete gear 5 and the rotating roller 6 to rotate. A servo motor 10 is fixedly installed on the other side wall of the connecting seat 11 and on the symmetrical plane of the drive gear 8. A rotating rod that passes through and rotates on the side wall of the connecting seat 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 10. The output end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the drive gear 8. The servo motor 10 drives the drive gear 8 to rotate through the rotating rod, thereby controlling the action of the flipping component. A limit seat 7 is installed on the top of the mounting seat 3. The limit seat 7 cooperates with the flipping component to limit the carton during the carton conveying and flipping process, preventing the carton from shifting or slipping, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the action.

[0026] It should be noted that when the carton does not need to be flipped, cylinder 2 is activated, causing the output end of cylinder 2 to retract, which drives the mounting base 3 and its flipping components to descend until the flipping device is lower than the upper plane of the accumulation wheel. At this time, the carton is smoothly conveyed in a straight line under the drive of the accumulation wheel, passes smoothly through the position of the flipping mechanism, and reaches the material picking station, completing the conveying process without flipping.

[0027] When the carton needs to be flipped, cylinder 2 is first activated. The output end of cylinder 2 extends, pushing the mounting base 3 and its flipping assembly upward until the flipping plate 4 supports the bottom of the carton. Then, servo motor 10 is activated. Servo motor 10 drives the drive gear 8 to rotate through the rotating rod. The drive gear 8 meshes with the driven incomplete gear 5, driving the rotating roller 6 to rotate. The flipping plate 4 on the rotating roller 6 rotates accordingly, pushing the carton forward synchronously and performing the flipping action. During the flipping process, the limit seat 7 limits the carton to ensure that the carton is stably flipped to the target angle under the action of the flipping plate 4. After the flipping is completed, servo motor 10 stops rotating, cylinder 2 retracts, and the flipping assembly is lowered. The carton continues to move to the picking station along the subsequent conveying path under the action of the accumulating wheel, completing the flipping conveying process.

[0028] Through the above structural design and workflow, this carton palletizing and conveying flipping mechanism can flexibly switch working states according to actual needs, realize efficient linear conveying and precise flipping of cartons, meet the diverse needs of carton palletizing and conveying in different scenarios, and improve the automation level and efficiency of logistics operations.

[0029] The above-described embodiments are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model. The descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
