Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cartoning equipment, and in particular to an automatic adjustment tongue device and a cartoning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Cartoning equipment is a type of automated packaging machinery, mainly used to automatically pack products (such as pharmaceuticals, food, daily necessities, cosmetics, etc.) into pre-folded packaging boxes, and complete a series of operations such as folding, inserting, sealing and outputting the boxes. It can significantly improve packaging efficiency and reduce manual labor intensity.

[0003] In related technologies, the tongue-inserting device of cartoning equipment is one of its key components. Its main function is to mechanically bend the tongue (or lid flap) of the packaging box and insert it into the corresponding slot in the box body, thereby achieving a firm seal and closure of the box and preventing the product from scattering or becoming contaminated during transportation and storage. Existing tongue-inserting devices typically use cam, rocker arm, or fixed screw drive structures, which can complete the basic insertion task under normal conditions. However, in situations with limited space, such as when the overall structure of the equipment is compact or the installation environment is restricted, these devices are prone to jamming problems due to machining accuracy and assembly errors. This can obstruct the rotation of the drive motor, preventing the tongue-inserting action from being completed smoothly and affecting the stability and efficiency of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a tongue device that can effectively solve the problem of obstructed rotation of the drive motor. Utility Model Content

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application discloses an automatic adjusting tongue device for a cartoning machine, which is applied to the cartoning machine. The cartoning machine includes a base and a conveying mechanism disposed on the base. The conveying mechanism is used to convey packaging boxes to be packaged. The automatic adjusting tongue device is disposed on the base and includes:

[0034] Mounting base 1 is disposed on the machine base;

[0035] Drive component 2 is disposed on the mounting base 1;

[0036] Transmission component 3, one end of which is connected to the output end of the drive component 2;

[0037] The floating mechanism 4 is slidably disposed at the other end of the transmission member 3, and is used to be driven by external force to move relative to the mounting base 1;

[0038] The tongue insert 5 is connected to the floating mechanism 4 and is used to insert the tongue into the packaging box.

[0039] In this embodiment, the automatic adjustment tongue device achieves adaptive adjustment of the tongue insertion process in the cartoning equipment by introducing a floating mechanism 4. The core principle lies in using a sliding connection to compensate for alignment deviations caused by machining accuracy and assembly errors. The device is supported by a mounting base 1, with a drive component 2 mounted on the mounting base 1 and connected to one end of a transmission component 3. The floating mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the other end of the transmission component 3. The drive component 2 drives the transmission component 3 to move the floating mechanism 4, thereby moving the tongue component 5 to process the packaging box.

[0040] Meanwhile, the floating mechanism 4 is slidably mounted on the transmission component 3, allowing the tongue component 5 to slide relative to the mounting base 1 after contacting the packaging box, thus achieving automatic adjustment. For example, the upper arrangement of the floating mechanism 4 allows the tongue component 5 to finely adjust its position relative to the mounting base 1 in the radial and axial directions of the transmission component 3, absorbing misalignment or assembly errors between the transmission component 3 and the drive component 2, thereby preventing motor step loss or rotational obstruction due to jamming during transmission. The tongue component 5 is connected to the floating mechanism 4, and its movement performs tongue processing on the packaging box tongue on the conveying mechanism, achieving operations such as bending and insertion.

[0041] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the transmission component 3 proposed in this utility model embodiment is a screw, and the floating mechanism 4 includes:

[0042] A floating nut 41 is fitted onto and threadedly connected to the screw rod;

[0043] A sliding member 42 is slidably disposed on the floating nut 41, and the sliding member 42 is used to connect the tongue member 5.

[0044] In this embodiment, the transmission component 3 is a screw, which is responsible for converting the rotational motion provided by the drive component 2 (such as a stepper motor) into linear motion. The screw is threadedly connected to the floating nut 41 through its threaded structure. When the drive component 2 outputs torque to drive the screw to rotate, the floating nut 41 moves along the screw axially due to the thrust generated by the thread engagement, thereby driving the slide component 42 and the tongue component 5 to move.

[0045] The sliding member 42 is slidably mounted on the floating nut 41. This sliding member serves as an intermediate structure for connection and motion transmission, while also providing additional degrees of freedom for automatic adjustment. When the screw of the transmission member 3 rotates under the drive of the driving member 2, the floating nut 41 generates a linear thrust along the screw axis due to threaded engagement. The sliding member 42 receives this thrust through its sliding connection with the floating nut 41 and moves along the screw axis with it. Because of the sliding degree of freedom between the sliding member 42 and the floating nut 41, the sliding member 42 can move relative to the floating nut 41, compensating for alignment deviations in the transmission system. The floating nut 41 is fitted onto the screw, and the threaded connection allows it to move axially, but radial offset may occur due to machining accuracy or assembly errors (such as screw bending or installation eccentricity). The sliding member 42 absorbs these radial offsets through its sliding connection and adjusts its axial or longitudinal position through relative movement with the mounting base 1 or other fixed structures.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the slide member 42 proposed in this utility model embodiment includes:

[0047] Nut pressure plate 421 is disposed between the floating nut 41 and the driving member 2. The nut pressure plate 421 has a first sliding structure disposed along a first direction. The nut is slidably connected to the first sliding structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, the core component of the slide block 42, the nut plate 421, is disposed between the floating nut 41 and the driving member 2, serving as a support and guide. The nut plate 421 has a first sliding structure (exemplary, such as a guide groove or guide rail) arranged along a first direction. The floating nut 41 is slidably connected to the first sliding structure, allowing the nut plate 421 to move relative to the floating nut 41 along the first direction (usually transverse or radial). The principle is that by utilizing the mechanical freedom of sliding, the position of the tongue member 5 can be dynamically adjusted to compensate for deviations in the transmission system.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the slide block component 42 proposed in this utility model embodiment further includes a nut slider 422 located between the floating nut 41 and the nut pressure plate 421, the nut is installed on one side of the nut slider 422, and the other side of the nut slider 422 is slidably connected to the first sliding structure.

[0050] In some embodiments, the nut slider 422 proposed in this utility model embodiment is provided with a second sliding structure arranged along a second direction, and the floating nut 41 is slidably connected to the second sliding structure.

[0051] In the above embodiments, the slide block component 42 includes not only the nut pressure plate 421, but also the nut slider 422 located between the floating nut 41 and the nut pressure plate 421. Its working principle is based on the error compensation and motion transmission mechanism of the multi-level sliding connection.

[0052] When the drive member 2 drives the screw to rotate, the floating nut 41 generates an axial thrust due to the thread engagement. The nut slider 422 is installed on one side of the nut to receive this thrust, and is slidably connected to the first sliding structure of the nut pressure plate 421 through its other side, transmitting the motion to the tongue member 5, thereby driving the tongue member 5 to move.

[0053] The second sliding structure allows the slide member 42 to move relative to the nut in a second direction (typically longitudinal or axial), dynamically adjusting the position of the tongue member 5 and compensating for deviations in the transmission system. For example, the first direction may be a vertical direction relative to the machine base, the second direction may be a horizontal direction relative to the machine base, and the second sliding structure may be a horizontally opened slot.

[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the slide member 42 proposed in this utility model embodiment further includes a nut seat 423 for connecting the floating nut 41, the nut seat 423 being disposed on the side of the floating nut 41 facing away from the nut slider 422.

[0055] In this embodiment, the nut seat 423 serves as a connector and is located on the side of the floating nut 41 facing away from the nut slider 422. The nut seat 423 and the nut pressure plate 421 constrain the floating nut 41 between them. When the floating nut 41 is driven by the screw, the tongue 5 can be driven to move in a direction horizontal to the machine base by pushing either the nut seat 423 or the nut pressure plate 421.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the automatic adjustment tongue device of the cartoning equipment proposed in this utility model embodiment further includes a coupling 6, and the screw is connected to the output end of the drive member 2 through the coupling 6.

[0057] In this embodiment, the automatic adjustment tongue device of the cartoning equipment connects the screw to the output end of the drive component 2 via a coupling 6. Its main purpose is to ensure the stability and reliability of the transmission system. The principle behind the coupling 6 is based on the following points:

[0058] Coupling 6 can absorb slight misalignment (such as angular or parallelism deviation) between the output shaft of drive component 2 and the screw, reducing additional stress caused by assembly errors.

[0059] The coupling 6, through its elastic or flexible structure, buffers the torque impact and vibration of the drive component 2, protects the transmission components, and extends their service life.

[0060] Coupling 6 facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and alignment of the screw and drive component 2, simplifies maintenance and replacement processes, and improves equipment assembly efficiency.

[0061] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the automatic adjustment tongue device of the cartoning equipment proposed in this utility model embodiment further includes a detection element 7, which is disposed on the mounting base 1 and is used to detect the position information of the floating mechanism 4.

[0062] In this embodiment, the automatic adjustment tongue device of the cartoning equipment uses a detection element 7 mounted on the mounting base 1 to detect the position information of the floating mechanism 4. Its main purpose is to improve the accuracy and automation of the device. The principle behind the setting of the detection element 7 is based on the following points:

[0063] The detection component 7 (such as a proximity switch or sensor) monitors the position of the floating mechanism 4 in real time to ensure that the tongue component 5 reaches the precise position when processing the packaging box tongue and avoids deviation.

[0064] By detecting position information, the device can identify whether the floating mechanism 4 has deviated from the expected path due to jamming or abnormal movement, and provide timely warnings to prevent equipment failure.

[0065] Position data is fed back to the control system to optimize the operating parameters of drive component 2, achieve closed-loop control, and improve the automation level and efficiency of the tongue insertion process.

[0066] Furthermore, this application proposes a cartoning device, including a base, a conveying mechanism disposed on the base, and an automatic adjusting tongue device disposed on the base as described in the foregoing embodiments. The conveying mechanism is used to convey the packaging box to be packaged, the automatic adjusting tongue device is located on one side of the conveying mechanism, and the driving member 2 is used to drive the tongue member 5 to move in a direction toward or away from the packaging box.

[0067] In this embodiment, the driving member 2 drives the tongue member 5 to move toward or away from the packaging box. This direction can be horizontal to the length direction of the base. After contacting the packaging box, the tongue member 5 can move along a first direction or a second direction depending on the height or width of the tongue of the packaging box. The first direction can be the longitudinal direction relative to the base, and the second direction can be horizontal to the width direction of the base. At the same time, it continues to move horizontally along the length direction of the base under the driving member 2.

[0068] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cartoning device proposed in this application further includes a sliding mechanism 8, the sliding mechanism 8 comprising:

[0069] A sliding seat 81 is disposed on the machine base, and a third sliding structure is provided on the sliding seat 81;

[0070] The guide rail seat 82 is provided with a fourth sliding structure adapted to the third sliding structure. The third sliding structure and the fourth sliding structure are slidably connected. The tongue 5 is provided on the guide rail seat 82, and the guide rail seat 82 is connected to the nut seat 423.

[0071] In this embodiment, the cartoning equipment further optimizes the motion performance of the automatic adjustment tongue device by adding a sliding mechanism 8. Its working principle is based on the guiding and stabilizing mechanism of the sliding connection. The sliding mechanism 8 includes a sliding seat 81 and a guide rail seat 82, as detailed below:

[0072] The sliding seat 81 is mounted on the machine base and is equipped with a third sliding structure (such as a guide groove or guide rail). The guide rail seat 82 is provided with a fourth sliding structure (such as a mating slider or ball) that is adapted to the third sliding structure. Through the sliding connection between the third sliding structure and the fourth sliding structure, the guide rail seat 82 can move horizontally on the machine base along a predetermined path, for example, as mentioned in the foregoing embodiments, relative to the length direction of the machine base, providing precise guidance for the movement of the tongue member 5.

[0073] The tongue 5 is mounted on a guide rail seat 82, which is connected to the floating mechanism 4 via a nut seat 423. When the floating mechanism 4 (including the floating nut 41 and the sliding member 42) moves under the drive of a transmission mechanism (such as a screw), the guide rail seat 82 slides with the displacement of the nut seat 423, transmitting the motion to the tongue 5 and ensuring that it is inserted in a direction toward or away from the packaging box. The sliding mechanism 8 supports the tongue 5 with its rigid structure, enhancing the stability of the movement.
