Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a packaging machine, specifically to a material stacking and boxing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and transportation of packaged goods (such as toothpaste), efficiently and orderly stacking and packing large quantities of individually packaged toothpaste boxes (or other similarly shaped boxed products) into cartons is a crucial step in ensuring safe product transportation and reducing space waste. Currently, this process mainly relies on manual operation or semi-automated equipment. Traditionally, workers manually arrange toothpaste boxes into tight stacks before packing them into cartons. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to loose stacking and misalignment due to human error. Some companies use simple conveyor belts or robotic arms to assist stacking, but these devices are typically single-function and lack adjustment capabilities. When there are slight differences in the size or shape of the toothpaste boxes, the equipment cannot automatically adapt, still potentially leading to uneven stacking and requiring frequent manual intervention, thus affecting overall production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model innovatively provides a material stacking and boxing device with a higher degree of automation.

[0004] This material stacking and cartoning device includes a frame, a carton storage bin, a cartoning station, a material conveying mechanism, and a material pushing mechanism. The material conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt. A pushing platform is mounted on the frame and located on one side of the cartoning station. The pushing platform has a discharge port, and a material lifting mechanism is located below it. The material lifting mechanism includes a lifting plate and a lifting power source that drives the lifting plate to move up and down. The lifting plate can pass upward through the discharge port of the pushing platform and can descend to connect with the conveyor belt of the material conveying mechanism. A material support mechanism is located below the pushing platform. It includes two left and right support bases and two left and right support plates. The lower end of each support plate is hinged to a support base via a hinge shaft. The support plate has a movable opening, and the support base is provided with a limiting rod that passes through the movable opening. The center of gravity of the support plate is located inside the hinge shaft. The inner side of the support plate has a guide slope, and the upper side of the support plate has a support surface. The support surface is located inside or above the discharge port of the pushing platform. The material pushing mechanism is located above the pushing platform. The material pushing mechanism includes a pushing plate and a pushing power source that drives the pushing plate to move back and forth. The pushing plate can push the material on the lifting plate into the carton at the cartoning station.

[0005] A torsion spring is connected to the support base, and the torsion spring acts on the support plate, causing the support plate to rotate inward.

[0006] The push platform is equipped with two guide plates that form a trumpet-shaped guide opening, which can guide the material to the boxing station.

[0007] The two guide plates are adjustable left and right and can be installed on the pushing platform.

[0008] A horizontal guide rod is installed on the frame, and a horizontal slide block is slidably provided on the horizontal guide rod. A support base is connected to the horizontal slide block, and an adjusting screw is rotatably installed on the frame. The adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the support base.

[0009] The lifting plate is connected to the lifting seat, and the lifting power source drives the lifting seat to move up and down.

[0010] According to the material stacking and boxing device provided by this utility model, the material is stacked by a material lifting mechanism and a material supporting mechanism, and finally the stacked material is pushed into the cardboard box by a material pushing mechanism.

[0012] like Figure 1 As shown, this material stacking and cartoning device includes a frame 1, a carton storage 2, a cartoning station 3, a material conveying mechanism 4, and a material pushing mechanism 8. The material conveying mechanism 8 includes a conveyor belt, and a pushing platform 5 is mounted on the frame 1, located on one side of the cartoning station 3. Flat carton A is placed in the carton storage 2, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the cardboard box transfer robot 9 moves the cardboard box to the cardboard box forming station. After the cardboard box forming process (which is existing technology), the three-dimensional cardboard box A is formed and then goes to the boxing station 3. Layers of material B are transported by the conveyor belt. The stacked material B comes to the pushing platform 5. Finally, the material pushing mechanism 8 pushes the stacked material B into the cardboard box A. The assembled cardboard box A goes to the subsequent box closing station and sealing station to complete the corresponding box closing and sealing work.

[0013] In order to allow material B to be stacked, such as Figure 2As shown, the pushing platform 5 has a discharge port 50, and a material lifting mechanism 6 is provided below the pushing platform 5, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the material lifting mechanism 6 includes a lifting plate 60 and a lifting power source 61 that drives the lifting plate 60 to move up and down. Driven by the lifting power source 61, the lifting plate 60 can descend to connect with the conveyor belt of the material conveying mechanism 4, allowing the material B on the conveyor belt to enter the lifting plate 60. When a layer of material arrives on the lifting plate 60, the lifting plate 60 can pass upward through the discharge port 50 of the pushing platform 5, allowing a layer of material B to be placed on the material support mechanism 7. As the lifting plate 60 lifts the material B layer by layer, the material B is stacked on the material support mechanism 7.

[0014] like Figure 3 As shown, the material support mechanism 7 is located below the push platform 5. The material support mechanism 7 includes two left and right support seats 70 and two left and right support plates 71. The lower end of each support plate 71 is hinged to a support seat 70 through a hinge shaft 78. The support plate 71 has a movable opening 710. The support seat 70 is provided with a limiting rod 73, which passes through the movable opening 710 (the limiting rod 73 can restrict the support plate 71 from rotating inward). The center of gravity of the support plate 71 is located inside the hinge shaft 78. The inner side of the support plate 71 has a guide slope 711. The upper side of the support plate 71 has a support surface 712, which is located inside or above the discharge port 50 of the push platform 5. When the lifting plate 60 lifts material B upwards, material B acts on the guide slope 711 of the support plate 71, causing the support plate 71 to rotate outwards around the hinge shaft 78. This allows material B to pass through the discharge port 50 of the pushing platform 5 and reach above the support plate 71. Since the center of gravity of the support plate 71 is located inside the hinge shaft 78, the support plate 71 automatically rotates inwards, placing the support surface 712 of the support plate 71 below the material B. When the lifting plate 60 descends, one layer of material B is placed on the left and right support plates 71. As the lifting plate 60 continuously lifts layers of material upwards, material B stacks up on the support plates 71. Once a set number of layers of material B have been stacked, the material pushing mechanism 8 pushes the material B into the cardboard box A.

[0015] like Figure 2 As shown, the material pushing mechanism 8 is located above the pushing platform 5. The material pushing mechanism 8 includes a pushing plate 80 and a pushing power source 81 that drives the pushing plate 80 to move back and forth. Driven by the pushing power source 81, the pushing plate 80 can push the material on the lifting plate 60 into the carton A of the cartoning station 3.

[0016] To increase the rotation speed of the support plate 71, a torsion spring 72 is connected to the support base 70. The torsion spring 72 acts on the support plate 71 and causes the support plate 71 to rotate inward. Through the action of the torsion spring 72, the rotation speed of the support plate 71 can be increased, and the stability can be improved at the same time.

[0017] like Figure 5 As shown, two guide plates 10 forming a trumpet-shaped guide opening are installed on the push platform 5. The guide plates 10 can guide the material to the cartoning station 3. Through the guidance of the guide plates 10, the material B can be aligned on both sides and accurately enter the carton A.

[0018] To accommodate materials B of different sizes and specifications, two guide plates 10 are mounted on the pushing platform 5 in an adjustable manner. By adjusting the distance between the guide plates 10, the pushing of materials B of different sizes and specifications can be achieved.

[0019] In order to meet the stacking requirements of materials B of different sizes and specifications, such as Figure 2 As shown, a horizontal guide rod 75 is mounted on the frame 1, and a horizontal slide block 74 is slidably mounted on the horizontal guide rod 75. A support base 70 is connected to the horizontal slide block 74. An adjusting screw 76 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the adjusting screw 76 is threadedly connected to the support base 70. By rotating the adjusting screw 76, the distance between the two support plates 71 can be adjusted, thereby meeting the stacking requirements of materials B of different sizes and specifications.

[0020] Finally, it is worth mentioning that the lifting plate 60 is connected to the lifting seat 61, and the lifting power source 62 drives the lifting seat 61 to move up and down. Driven by the lifting power source 62, the lifting seat 61 and the lifting plate 60 move up and down together.
