Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of miscellaneous can production technology, specifically relating to a paper feeding device for miscellaneous can production. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the paper-feeding process plays a crucial role in the production of miscellaneous cans (such as medicine boxes and candy boxes) that use a can-body-top-and-lid structure. It needs to coordinate with two key processes: cardboard bending (folding the edges of the flat cardboard into hooks to facilitate edge rolling) and paper-feeding and edge rolling (precisely feeding the cardboard to the lower mold corresponding to the edge rolling process). This ensures the airtightness of the cardboard seal at the top of the can, thereby guaranteeing the packaging quality and performance of the miscellaneous can products and meeting the market's basic requirements for packaging containers. However, there are some shortcomings in the current paper-feeding operations in miscellaneous can production.

[0003] In existing technologies, cardboard bending and paper feeding edge curling processes are usually completed manually. Although this can achieve the operation to a certain extent, the production efficiency is extremely low and it is difficult to meet the capacity requirements of large-scale miscellaneous can production lines. At the same time, manual operation has poor precision and stability, and problems such as cardboard bending angle deviation and paper feeding position deviation occur frequently, making it difficult to guarantee the yield rate. A large number of defective products not only increase raw material waste but also increase production costs. In addition, when manual operation is carried out next to mechanical structures such as edge curling molds, the limbs are prone to contact with moving parts, resulting in a high risk factor.

[0004] While traditional magnetic clamps are widely used in feeding metal materials, offering convenient operation and a certain level of precision, they are ineffective in feeding cardboard, a non-magnetic material. The lack of magnetic clamps prevents them from generating the necessary adhesion, making them unsuitable for cardboard feeding and thus unsuitable for can paper dispensing processes. Currently, the market lacks automated paper dispensing equipment specifically designed for can production scenarios and adapted to the characteristics of cardboard, making it difficult to balance the requirements of high efficiency, precision, safety, and low cost.

[0005] Therefore, in order to comprehensively improve the efficiency, accuracy and safety of the paper feeding process in the production of miscellaneous cans, reduce production and management costs, and meet the stable and efficient production needs of miscellaneous can products, it is now urgent to improve the paper feeding device used in the production of miscellaneous cans. Utility Model Content

Therefore, this application proposes a paper feeding device for miscellaneous can production.

[0007] This application adopts the following solution: a paper feeding device for miscellaneous can production, including a storage mechanism, a feeding mechanism disposed on the storage mechanism, and a picking mechanism disposed between the storage mechanism and the feeding mechanism. The storage mechanism is used to stack paperboards, the picking mechanism is used to transport the paperboards from the storage mechanism to the feeding mechanism, and the feeding mechanism is used to transport the paperboards to a preset position for the next process. The feeding mechanism includes a guide component disposed on the storage mechanism and a first driving component disposed at one end of the guide component. The guide component is used to guide the paperboards to the preset position for the next process, and the first driving component is used to drive the paperboards to move along the guiding direction of the guide component.

[0008] In some feasible embodiments, the storage mechanism includes a base plate, a discharge port on the base plate, and a plurality of guide posts surrounding the discharge port.

[0014] In some feasible embodiments, the first driving component includes a slide rail disposed below the guide rail, a slidable claw disposed on the slide rail, and a power source disposed on the claw.

[0028] Combination Figures 1-9 The following description further illustrates the technical solution proposed in this application. This application provides a paper feeding device for miscellaneous can production, including a storage mechanism 1, a feeding mechanism 2 disposed on the storage mechanism 1, and a retrieving mechanism 3 disposed between the storage mechanism 1 and the feeding mechanism 2. The storage mechanism 1 is used to stack paperboards, the retrieving mechanism 3 is used to transport the paperboards from the storage mechanism 1 to the feeding mechanism 2, and the feeding mechanism 2 is used to transport the paperboards to a preset position for the next process. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a guide component 20 disposed on the storage mechanism 1 and a first driving component 21 disposed at one end of the guide component 20. The guide component 20 is used to guide the paperboards to the preset position for the next process, and the first driving component 21 is used to drive the paperboards to move along the guiding direction of the guide component 20.

[0029] This application provides a paper feeding device for miscellaneous can production, comprising a storage mechanism, a feeding mechanism disposed on the storage mechanism, and a retrieving mechanism disposed between the storage mechanism and the feeding mechanism. The storage mechanism is used to stack cardboard, the retrieving mechanism is used to transport the cardboard from the storage mechanism to the feeding mechanism, and the feeding mechanism is used to transport the cardboard to a preset position for the next process. The feeding mechanism includes a guiding component disposed on the storage mechanism and a first driving component disposed at one end of the guiding component. The guiding component is used to guide the cardboard to the preset position for the next process, and the first driving component is used to drive the cardboard to move along the guiding direction of the guiding component. This device, through an automated structure in which the storage mechanism, retrieving mechanism, and feeding mechanism cooperate, replaces manual labor in completing the cardboard bending and paper feeding edge curling processes, and has the advantages of high production efficiency, high paper feeding accuracy, high degree of automation, low production cost, and ease of promotion and implementation.

[0030] In this embodiment, the storage mechanism 1 includes a base plate 10, a discharge port 11 disposed on the base plate 10, and a plurality of guide posts 12 surrounding the outer periphery of the discharge port 11. The plurality of guide posts 12 together form a storage cavity 13. The cardboard is stacked in the storage cavity 13. The material picking mechanism 3 is used to transport the cardboard from the storage cavity 13 to the feeding mechanism 2.

[0031] In actual implementation, the operator first neatly stacks the cardboard to be used in the storage chamber 13. Multiple guide columns 12 can form circumferential limits on the stacked cardboard to prevent the cardboard from shifting or tipping over during storage, ensuring that the cardboard is always within the preset range that the picking mechanism 3 can grab.

[0032] When the device is started, the material handling mechanism 3 operates, aligning itself with the cardboard at the bottom of the storage chamber 13. It uses negative pressure to extract the cardboard from the storage chamber 13 and transports it to the guiding assembly 20. Once inside the guiding assembly 20, the cardboard is guided and positioned by the cooperation of guide rails and guide grooves. Simultaneously, the first driving assembly 21 is activated, driving the cardboard along the guiding direction of the guiding assembly 20. Ultimately, the cardboard is precisely delivered to the preset position for the next process in the miscellaneous can production (such as cardboard bending or edge curling), completing a single paper feeding process. Continuous paper feeding can be achieved by repeating the above steps.

[0033] In this embodiment, the storage mechanism 1 further includes a plurality of locking clips 14 spaced around the inner circumference of the discharge port 11. When the cardboard is stacked in the storage cavity 13, the cardboard is mounted on the locking clips 14.

[0034] In actual implementation, by setting the clamping piece 14, on the one hand, the support strength of the storage mechanism for the cardboard can be effectively improved, and on the other hand, the clamping piece 14 can make the bottom of the cardboard stack suspended, reduce the contact area between the cardboard and the substrate, reduce the material picking resistance, and ensure that the material picking mechanism picks up only one cardboard at a time.

[0035] In this embodiment, the material picking mechanism 3 includes a second driving component 30 disposed below the discharge port 11, and a material picking suction cup group 31 disposed on the output end of the second driving component 30. The material picking suction cup group 31 is used to pick up the paper in the storage cavity 13, and the second driving component 30 is used to drive the material picking suction cup group 31 to move towards or away from the discharge port 11.

[0036] In actual implementation, the second drive component can be a telescopic cylinder.

[0037] In this embodiment, the guiding component 20 includes two guide rails 200 disposed below the discharge port 11, and guide grooves 201 disposed on the guide rails 200. The guide rails 200 extend to a preset position of the next process, and the two guide grooves 201 together form a guiding station 202. The material picking mechanism 3 is used to transport the cardboard in the storage cavity 13 to the guiding station 202. The first driving component 21 is used to drive the cardboard to move along the length direction of the guide rails 200.

[0038] In this embodiment, the guide component 20 further includes a positioning member 4 disposed on one end of the guide rail 200 near the next process. When the cardboard is placed in the guide station 202, the positioning member 4 is used to press the cardboard into the preset position of the next process.

[0039] In this embodiment, the positioning member 4 includes a connecting plate 40 disposed on one end of the guide rail 200 near the next process, and a pressure plate 41 inclined on the connecting plate 40. The pressure plate 41 is inclined toward the guide groove 201. When the cardboard is placed in the guide station 202, the pressure plate 41 is used to press the cardboard into the corresponding position of the next process.

[0040] In actual implementation, when the cardboard moves to the guide rail 200 and approaches the end of the next process, the cardboard first contacts the pressure plate 41. Under the thrust of the drive component, the front end of the cardboard gradually moves towards the center of the guide groove 201 along the inclined surface of the pressure plate 41. At the same time, the inclined angle of the pressure plate 41 generates a downward component force, which forms a slight downward pressure on the cardboard, preventing the cardboard from warping upward due to feeding inertia and ensuring that the cardboard always moves in close contact with the guide groove 201.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first driving component 21 includes a slide rail 210 disposed below the guide rail 200, a claw 211 slidably disposed on the slide rail 210, and a power source 212 disposed on the claw 211. When the cardboard is disposed in the guide station 202, the claw 211 abuts against the end of the cardboard, and the power source 212 is used to drive the claw 211 to slide along the length direction of the slide rail 210, thereby moving the cardboard to the preset position of the next process.

[0042] In actual implementation, a telescopic cylinder can be used as the power source.

[0043] In this embodiment, the claw 211 includes a slider 213 slidably disposed on the slide rail 210, claw portions 214 disposed on both sides of the slider 213, and a slot 215 disposed on the claw portion 214. When the cardboard is disposed in the guide station 202, the cardboard is engaged in the slot 215.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the claw portion 214 is "L".

[0045] In actual implementation, it also includes a frame 8 and an alignment mechanism 9 provided on the frame 8. The alignment mechanism 9 is used to align the paper feeding device with the corresponding position of the next process so that the paper feeding device and the corresponding position of the next process are at the same height and arranged in a straight line.

[0046] In actual implementation, the alignment mechanism 9 includes a lifting platform 90 mounted on the frame 8, a first adjusting platform 91 mounted on the lifting platform 90, a second adjusting platform 92 mounted on the first adjusting platform 91, a first adjusting component 93 located between the lifting platform 90 and the first adjusting platform 91, and a second adjusting component 94 located between the first adjusting platform 91 and the second adjusting platform 92. The first adjusting component 93 is used to drive the first adjusting platform 91 to move along the length direction of the frame 8, and the second adjusting component 94 is used to drive the second adjusting platform 92 to move along the width direction of the frame 8. The material storage mechanism is mounted on the second adjusting platform 92, and the lifting platform 90 can move along the height direction of the frame 8.

[0047] In actual implementation, the first adjustment component 93 includes a first adjustment slide rail arranged along the length direction of the lifting platform 90, a first adjustment slider disposed on the first adjustment slide rail, and a power source disposed on the first adjustment slider. The first adjustment platform 91 is disposed on the first adjustment slider, and the power source is used to drive the first adjustment slider to slide along the length direction of the first adjustment slide rail.

[0048] In actual implementation, the second adjustment component 94 includes a second adjustment slide rail arranged along the width direction of the first adjustment platform 91, a second adjustment slider arranged on the second adjustment slide rail, and a power source arranged on the second adjustment slider. The second adjustment platform 92 is arranged on the second adjustment slider, and the paper feeding device is arranged on the second adjustment platform 92. The power source is used to drive the second adjustment slider to slide along the length direction of the second adjustment slide rail.
