Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard box sorting, and more specifically, to a cardboard box sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Cardboard box sorting is a widely used workflow in logistics, warehousing, and packaging industries, primarily aimed at organizing scattered and disorganized cardboard boxes. Through automated or semi-automated sorting methods, such as alignment, stacking, arrangement, and classification, cardboard boxes are neatly arranged according to preset rules (e.g., size, weight, destination), enabling efficient and smooth subsequent handling, storage, or transportation, thereby improving overall operational efficiency and space utilization.

[0003] Currently, cardboard box sorting still relies heavily on manual labor in most logistics, warehousing, and packaging scenarios. Manual sorting is not only inefficient, failing to meet the demands of large-scale, high-speed operations, but also physically demanding, leading to worker fatigue over long periods and consequently affecting sorting quality and operational safety. Furthermore, manual sorting has a low degree of standardization; different operators may sort boxes in different ways, hindering the smooth integration of subsequent automated handling, storage, or transportation processes. Overall, this restricts the improvement of logistics efficiency and the optimization of space utilization.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a carton sorting device. Utility Model Content

[0021] To address the technical problems in the background section, the following carton sorting device is provided: Combination Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the carton sorting device provided by this utility model includes a carton opening mechanism 1, a carton conveying mechanism 2, and a carton stacking mechanism 3. The carton opening mechanism 1, the carton conveying mechanism 2, and the carton stacking mechanism 3 are arranged sequentially from left to right. The carton opening mechanism 1 includes a base frame 101, and first connecting members 102 are fixedly installed on the upper surfaces of both sides of the base frame 101. A connecting shaft 103 is rotatably connected between the two first connecting members 102. Two second connecting members 104 are rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting shaft 103, and the two second connecting members 104 drive the opening bracket 105 fixedly installed on the upper side.

[0022] In this embodiment, the device mainly consists of three parts: a carton opening mechanism 1, a carton conveying mechanism 2, and a carton stacking mechanism 3. These three parts are arranged in order from left to right. Before operation, the unpacking robot puts the carton onto the opening bracket 105, the carton is straightened, and the top is opened. Through the arrangement of the first connector 102, the connecting shaft 103, and the second connector 104, the opening bracket 105 and the carton on the outside can be knocked down together and transported by the carton conveying mechanism 2 and collected by the carton stacking mechanism 3.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, a first hydraulic rod 106 is rotatably connected to the middle of the base frame 101, and the lifting end of the first hydraulic rod 106 is hinged to the bottom of the support bracket 105. A bottom rod 107 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base frame 101.

[0024] In this embodiment: the first hydraulic rod 106 can drive the expansion bracket 105 to rotate, which facilitates the carton conveying mechanism 2 to transport the expanded carton. The base frame 101 is equipped with a driving rod 107 to support one side of the expansion bracket 105, so that the expansion bracket 105 is in a horizontal state.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the carton conveying mechanism 2 includes a base frame 201, and a mounting frame 202 is connected to the upper side of the base frame 201. A first rotating shaft 203 and a second rotating shaft 204 are rotatably connected to both ends of the mounting frame 202, and a conveyor belt 205 is rotatably connected to the outside of the first rotating shaft 203 and the second rotating shaft 204. A motor 206 is fixedly mounted on one side surface of the mounting frame 202, and the output end of the motor 206 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 204.

[0026] In this embodiment: the base frame 201 provides stable support for the entire mechanism, and the mounting frame 202 is fixed to the base frame 201. The first rotating shaft 203 and the second rotating shaft 204, which are rotatably connected at both ends, provide support and a base for the rotation of the conveyor belt 205. After the motor 206 starts, its output end drives the second rotating shaft 204, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate. The second rotating shaft 204 then transmits power to the conveyor belt 205 through its rotatable connection with the conveyor belt 205, causing the conveyor belt 205 to start running. At the same time, the first rotating shaft 203 also rotates under the drive of the conveyor belt 205, thereby realizing the smooth transport and collection of the cartons placed on the conveyor belt 205.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a second hydraulic rod 207 is fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting bracket 202, and a connecting block 208 is fixedly installed on the top of the second hydraulic rod 207, and a downward pressure rod 209 is fixedly installed between the two connecting blocks 208.

[0028] In this embodiment: when the pressing rod 209 moves downward under the drive of the second hydraulic rod 207, it can press down on the carton placed on the conveyor belt, so that the carton is folded flat according to the preset creases, thereby organizing the originally irregular or unfolded carton into a regular shape that is easy to stack and store flat, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of carton collection and subsequent processing.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the carton stacking mechanism 3 includes a support frame 301, and two mounting rods 302 are fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 301. A flap 303 is rotatably connected to the middle of the two mounting rods 302. Two third hydraulic rods 304 are rotatably connected to one side surface of the support frame 301. A connecting rod 305 is fixedly installed at the top of the third hydraulic rod 304, and the other ends of the two connecting rods 305 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the flap 303.

[0030] In this embodiment: the carton conveying mechanism 2 conveys the flattened carton to the upper side of the flip plate 303, and then the third hydraulic rods 304 on both sides are activated. The connecting rod 305 at the top of the rod drives the flip plate 303 to rotate under the push of the hydraulic rod, so that the flip plate 303 is set in an inclined position. Then the carton will slowly slide down to the pre-set stacking area.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a lifting plate 306 is provided in the middle of the support frame 301, and electric slide rails 307 are fixedly installed inside the four sides of the support frame 301. Sliding blocks 308 are slidably connected to the outside of the electric slide rails 307, and the four sliding blocks 308 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lifting plate 306 respectively.

[0032] In this embodiment: Electric slide rails 307 are fixedly installed inside all four sides of the support frame 301, and sliders 308 are slidably connected to their exterior. The sliders 308 and the electric slide rails 307 are tightly fitted, allowing for smooth and stable sliding on the rails. The four sliders 308 are securely connected to the four corners of the lifting plate 306. When the electric slide rails 307 receive instructions from the control system, they drive the sliders 308 to move along a predetermined direction, thereby causing the lifting plate 306 to achieve precise lifting and lowering movements, facilitating the stacking and collection of folded cardboard boxes.
