Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of packaging box production equipment, and in particular to a material feeding device and packaging box assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the packaging industry, the appearance and functional design of packaging boxes are crucial to a product's market competitiveness. Figure 1 An exploded view of a partial structure of a packaging box 100 in the related art is shown. (See figure.) Figure 1 As shown, the packaging box 100 has a receiving groove 111 in the box body 110. A tubular (or ring-shaped) material 120 is attached to the groove wall of the receiving groove 111. The material 120 can not only make the box body 110 more beautiful, but also play other specific functions, such as increasing structural strength, providing an additional protective layer, or achieving special visual effects.

[0003] In the production process of the aforementioned packaging box 100, a silo is typically used to supply the tubular material 120, and automated devices such as robotic arms are used to perform a series of tasks such as picking up and placing the material 120, dispensing glue, and holding pressure. However, when the material 120 in the silo is depleted, the machine needs to be stopped to replenish the material 120, which not only increases production costs but also significantly reduces production efficiency.

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a feeding device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a portion of the structure of a feeding device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 4 A top view of a partial structure of a feeding device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below, in conjunction with... Figures 2 to 4 Provide a detailed description.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the feeding device 200 mainly includes a support plate 210, a first pushing mechanism 220, and a second pushing mechanism 230. The support plate 210 is arranged in a generally horizontal position, and it has a relatively first side ( Figure 2 (upper side) and the second side ( Figure 2 (the lower side of the middle), and also has a relative first end ( Figure 2 The back end and the second end (in the middle) Figure 2 (The front end of the middle). A first feeding station 211 and a second feeding station 212 are provided on the first side of the support plate 210. Preferably, the first feeding station 211 and the second feeding station 212 are provided at the second end of the support plate 210. Both the first feeding station 211 and the second feeding station 212 are configured to be suitable for supporting the column carrier 300. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a column-type carrier 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the column carrier 300 includes a base 310 and a loading column 320, wherein the loading column 320 is mounted on the upper side of the base 310, and the loading column 320 can load a large amount of material 120 (tubular material 120). For ease of understanding, in Figure 5 The diagram schematically shows a material 120 mounted on a material carrier column 320.

[0030] The first pushing mechanism 220 is configured to push upwards the material 120 on the column carrier 300 located at the first feeding station 211, so that the column carrier 300 continuously supplies material 120. Correspondingly, the second pushing mechanism 230 is configured to push upwards the material 120 on the column carrier 300 located at the second feeding station 212, so that the column carrier 300 continuously supplies material 120. By cooperating with the corresponding column carriers 300, the first pushing mechanism 220 and the second pushing mechanism 230 can achieve alternating feeding and can replenish material during equipment operation. For example, in practical applications, the first pushing mechanism 220 can first cooperate with the column carrier 300 on the first feeding station 211 to feed material. When the material 120 on the column carrier 300 on the first feeding station 211 is exhausted, the second pushing mechanism 230 can then cooperate with the column carrier 300 on the second feeding station 212 to feed material. At this time, material 120 can be added to the column carrier 300 of the first feeding station 211, or the column carrier 300 on the first feeding station 211 can be replaced with a column carrier 300 filled with material 120.

[0031] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a first pusher mechanism 220 and a second pusher mechanism 230 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 6 As shown, the first pushing mechanism 220 includes a first pushing member 221 and a first linear drive module 222. The first linear drive module 222 is configured to drive the first pushing member 221 to rise and fall. During the rising process of the first pushing member 221, the first pushing member 221 can push the material 120 on the column carrier 300 located at the first feeding station 211 upwards, so that the column carrier 300 continuously supplies material 120 to the outside. The second pushing mechanism 230 includes a second pushing member 231 and a second linear drive module 232. The second linear drive module 232 is configured to drive the second pushing member 231 to rise and fall. During the rising process of the second pushing member 231, the second pushing member 231 can push the material 120 on the column carrier 300 located at the second feeding station 212 upwards, so that the column carrier 300 continuously supplies material 120 to the outside.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first pushing mechanism 220 and the second pushing mechanism 230 are both located on the second side of the support plate 210. The first pushing mechanism 220 is aligned with the first feeding station 211, and the second pushing mechanism 230 is aligned with the second feeding station 212. Figure 7 It shows Figure 4 A magnified view of a portion of the area. For example... Figure 7As shown, a first clearance hole 213 is provided at the first feeding station 211. The size and dimensions of the first clearance hole 213 are matched with the first pusher 221 (at least with the push rod 2212 of the first pusher 221) to ensure that the first pusher 221 can pass through the first clearance hole 213 (support plate 210) and directly act on the material 120 on the column carrier 300. Similarly, a second clearance hole 214 is provided at the second feeding station 212. The size and dimensions of the second clearance hole 214 are matched with the second pusher 231 (at least with the push rod 2212 of the second pusher 231) to ensure that the second pusher 231 can pass through the second clearance hole 214 (support plate 210) and directly act on the material 120 on the column carrier 300.

[0033] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first pusher 221 may include a connecting seat 2211 and a pusher rod 2212. The connecting seat 2211 is used to connect the first linear drive module 222, and the pusher rod 2212 is vertically fixed to the upper surface of the connecting seat 2211. Preferably, the first pusher 221 includes two pusher rods 2212, which are fixed to the upper surface of the connecting seat 2211 at intervals to ensure that the first pusher 221 can push the material 120 more stably. The second pusher 231 may also include a connecting seat 2211 and a pusher rod 2212. The structure of the second pusher 231 is basically the same as that of the first pusher 221, and will not be described again here. In addition, the first linear drive module 222 and the second linear drive module 232 may also adopt different structures, such as lead screw linear modules, belt linear modules, etc.

[0034] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that in other embodiments, the first pushing mechanism 220 and the second pushing mechanism 230 may also be located in other positions, such as on the first side of the support plate 210, and adjacent to the first feeding station 211 and the second feeding station 212, respectively. In this case, only an adaptive adjustment to the structure / shape of the first pushing member 221 and the second pushing member 231 is needed to enable the first pushing mechanism 220 and the second pushing mechanism 230 to effectively push the material 120 on the column carrier 300, ensuring a continuous supply of the material 120, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4As shown, the feeding device 200 may further include a first photoelectric sensor 241 and a second photoelectric sensor 242. The first photoelectric sensor 241 is disposed above (or diagonally above) the first feeding station 211 and configured to emit a detection beam toward the top of the column carrier 300 of the first feeding station 211 to detect whether material 120 is present on the top of the column carrier 300. Similarly, the second photoelectric sensor 242 is disposed above (or diagonally above) the second feeding station 212 and configured to emit a detection beam toward the top of the column carrier 300 of the second feeding station 212 to detect whether material 120 is present on the top of the column carrier 300.

[0036] When the first photoelectric sensor 241 or the second photoelectric sensor 242 detects that there is no material 120 on the top of the column carrier 300, it indicates that the material 120 has been removed. At this time, the corresponding first pushing mechanism 220 or second pushing mechanism 230 is activated to push new material 120 to the top of the column carrier 300 for subsequent use. If the first photoelectric sensor 241 or the second photoelectric sensor 242 continuously detects that there is no material 120 on the top of the column carrier 300, it indicates that the material 120 on the column carrier 300 has been used up. At this time, the column carrier 300 at another feeding station will supply material to ensure the continuity and stability of the feeding process.

[0037] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a portion of the structure of a feeding device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 8 As shown, a first track 251 and a second track 252 are also provided on the first side of the support plate 210. One end of the first track 251 is connected to the first feeding station 211, and the other end extends towards the first end of the support plate 210. The first track 251 may be composed of two parallel guide rails and is adapted to the base 310 of the column carrier 300. This allows the first track 251 to carry the column carrier 300 and guide the column carrier 300 to accurately enter the first feeding station 211 so as to replenish the column carrier 300 filled with material 120 to the first feeding station 211. Correspondingly, one end of the second track 252 is connected to the second station, and the other end extends towards the first end of the support plate 210. The second track 252 can also be composed of two parallel guide rails and is adapted to the base 310 of the column carrier 300. This allows the second track 252 to carry the column carrier 300 and guide the column carrier 300 to accurately enter the second feeding station 212, so as to replenish the column carrier 300 filled with material 120 to the second feeding station 212.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8As shown, a third linear drive module 253 and a fourth linear drive module 254 are mounted on the support plate 210. The third linear drive module 253 is configured to drive the column carrier 300 (located on the first track 251) to move along the first track 251 towards the first feeding station 211, thereby replenishing the column carrier 300 at the first feeding station 211. Correspondingly, the fourth linear drive module 254 is configured to drive the column carrier 300 (located on the second track 252) to move along the second track 252 towards the second feeding station 212, thereby replenishing the column carrier 300 at the second feeding station 212. Optionally, the third linear drive module 253 and the fourth linear drive module 254 can employ linear drive components such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, electric push rods, and conveyor belts. In addition, the third linear drive module 253 can also employ a reciprocating unidirectional propulsion mechanism.

[0039] Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a reciprocating unidirectional propulsion structure 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 9 As shown, the reciprocating unidirectional propulsion mechanism mainly includes a linear actuator 410, a mounting plate 420, and one or more propulsion claws 430. The linear actuator 410 is connected to the mounting plate 420 and drives the mounting plate 420 to reciprocate along a preset direction (e.g., the extension direction of the first track 251). One or more limiting grooves 421 are provided on the upper side of the mounting plate 420. The number of limiting grooves 421 is the same as the number of propulsion claws 430. The propulsion claws 430 are pivotally mounted in the corresponding limiting grooves 421, and under the action of the limiting grooves 421, the propulsion claws 430 can only move in a propulsion posture (e.g., ...). Figure 9 The device switches between a thrusting posture (as shown) and an avoidance posture. In the thrusting posture, the thrusting pawl 430 extends out of the limiting groove 421. Furthermore, an elastic element 440 (spring, leaf spring, or torsion spring, etc.) is provided in the limiting groove 421 to keep the thrusting pawl 430 in the thrusting posture. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, when the linear actuator 410 drives the mounting plate 420 to move along the first direction, the pusher 430 can push the column carrier 300 forward, causing the column carrier 300 to move towards the first feeding station 211 or the second feeding station 212. When the linear actuator 410 drives the mounting plate 420 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction, the pusher 430 automatically switches to an avoidance posture after contacting the column carrier 300. In this avoidance posture, the pusher 430 will essentially retract into the mounting slot, thereby avoiding interference with the column carrier 300 and ensuring that the column carrier 300 is not pushed backward.

[0040] In practical applications, one or more column carriers 300 filled with material 120 can be placed on the first track 251 and the second track 252, respectively. Whenever a column carrier 300 on the first feeding station 211 is removed, the third linear drive module 253 drives the column carrier 300 on the first track 251 to move towards the first feeding station 211 to replenish the column carrier 300 filled with material 120. Similarly, whenever a column carrier 300 on the second feeding station 212 is removed, the fourth linear drive module 254 drives the column carrier 300 on the second track 252 to move towards the second feeding station 212 to replenish the column carrier 300 filled with material 120. This automatic replenishment mechanism greatly improves feeding efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and ensures the continuity and stability of the production process.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a recycling station 215 can also be provided on the first side of the support plate 210. Preferably, the recycling station 215 is located between the first feeding station 211 and the second feeding station 212. In addition, a first recycling module 255 and a second recycling module 256 are also provided on the first side of the support plate 210. The first recycling module 255 and the second recycling module 256 can adopt linear drive components such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods. The first recycling module 255 is located on the left side of the first feeding station 211 and is configured to push the column carrier 300 on the first feeding station 211 to the recycling station 215. Correspondingly, the second recycling module 256 is located on the right side of the second feeding station 212 and is configured to push the column carrier 300 on the second feeding station 212 to the recycling station 215. By setting up a recycling station 215, a first recycling module 255, and a second recycling module 256, the column carrier 300 can be automatically removed from the corresponding first feeding station 211 or second feeding station 212 when the material 120 on the column carrier 300 is used up. This helps to improve the automation level and operating efficiency of the feeding device 200 and reduce manual intervention.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a third track 257 and a third recovery module 258 can also be provided on the first side of the support plate 210. The third track 257 can be composed of two parallel guide rails and is adapted to the base 310 of the column carrier 300. Preferably, the third track 257 shares one guide rail with the first track 251 and another guide rail with the second track 252. One end of the third track 257 is connected to the recovery station 215, and the other end extends towards the first end of the support plate 210. The third recovery module 258 can be a linear drive element such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric push rod. It is located on the front side of the recovery station 215 and configured to push the column carrier 300 on the recovery station 215 along the third track 257 to the first end of the support plate 210.

[0043] Furthermore, the feeding device 200 may also include a third photoelectric sensor 259. The third photoelectric sensor 259 is located on one side of the recycling station 215 and configured to emit a detection beam towards the recycling station 215 to detect the presence of a column carrier 300 on the recycling station 215. Once the third photoelectric sensor 259 detects a column carrier 300 on the recycling station 215, the column carrier 300 can be pushed along the third track 257 to the first end of the support plate 210 via the third recycling module 258. At the first end of the support plate 210, the column carrier 300 can be centrally processed, for example, by refilling with material 120 or transporting it to another location for subsequent operations.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a fourth photoelectric sensor 260 is also provided at the first end of the support plate 210. The fourth photoelectric sensor 260 can be, for example, a through-beam photoelectric sensor. The fourth photoelectric sensor 260 can include a transmitter 261 and a receiver 262. The transmitter 261 is located on the left side of the support plate 210, and the receiver 262 is located on the right side of the support plate 210. The transmitter 261 is configured to emit a detection beam to the receiver 262. The fourth photoelectric sensor 260 is mainly used to detect whether a worker's limb has entered the feeding device 200 to ensure the worker's personal safety. Specifically, whenever a worker replenishes the column carrier 300 to the first track 251 or the second track 252, or removes the column carrier 300 from the third track 257, the worker's limb (e.g., arm) may block the detection beam, thereby triggering the fourth photoelectric sensor 260. Once the fourth photoelectric sensor 260 is triggered, the system will immediately stop the operation of the third linear drive module 253, the fourth linear drive module 254, the first recycling module 255, the second recycling module 256, and the third recycling module 258 to reduce the possibility of the feeding device 200 causing harm to the staff.

On the side of the protective cover 270 near the first end of the support plate 210 (… Figure 2 An opening 271 is provided on the rear side of the protective cover 270. This opening 271 allows workers to replenish the column carriers 300 to the first track 251 and the second track 252, and also allows workers to remove the column carriers 300 from the third track 257. In addition, on the side of the protective cover 270 near the first feeding station 211 and the second feeding station 212 ( Figure 2 The front side of the feeding device 200 is provided with multiple clearance channels 272, which correspond to the first track 251, the second track 252, and the third track 257, and are designed to allow the column carrier 300 to pass through, ensuring that the column carrier 300 can move normally on the corresponding track. By adopting the above design, the safety of the feeding device 200 can be further improved, and the possibility of the feeding device 200 causing injury to workers can be reduced.
