Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for carton packing machines, and in particular to an auxiliary carton support mechanism for carton packing machines. Background Technology

[0002] In the carton packing machine industry, during carton packing operations, it is usually necessary to use a carton support mechanism to open the upper side flaps of the carton so that a robot (such as a SCARA robot) can pack the product into the carton. The existing carton support mechanism can only open the side flaps of the carton at a small angle. When encountering taller cartons, due to the limited Z-axis travel of the SCARA robot (currently the maximum travel is 600mm), when the robot picks up the carton from the side using a sponge suction cup, the bottom of the carton is prone to interfere with the side flaps of the carton, making the carton packing operation difficult to carry out smoothly.

[0003] The current solution is to replace the robot with one with one that has a longer stroke. This not only increases the cost of the equipment by several times, but also increases the space occupied by the equipment, which is not conducive to the company's market competitiveness. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an auxiliary mechanism that can effectively avoid the interference of the side tongue of the carton with the packing operation without replacing the robot. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an auxiliary box-supporting mechanism for a box-packing machine, which solves the problem mentioned in the background art that, due to the limited Z-axis travel of the robot, when the robot uses a sponge suction cup to pick up the cardboard box from the side and enters the carton, the bottom of the cardboard box easily interferes with the side tongue of the carton, causing the box-packing operation to be unable to proceed smoothly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary box-supporting mechanism for a box-packing machine, comprising a carrying mechanism, a connecting mechanism fixedly connected to the right side of the carrying mechanism, and an installation mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the carrying mechanism. The side of the installation mechanism away from the carrying mechanism is connected to the connecting mechanism. The carrying mechanism supports the connecting mechanism and the installation mechanism, the installation mechanism adjusts the rotation angle of the connecting mechanism, and the connecting mechanism opens the packaging box.

[0006] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bearing mechanism includes a supporting beam and a supporting column. There are two bearing mechanisms in total. The supporting beam is fixedly installed on the inner side of the two bearing mechanisms. There are two supporting columns in total. The two supporting columns are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the bearing mechanism.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting bracket, a rotating shaft, a connecting side plate, a first bracket, a second bracket, a retractable push rod, a connecting support, and a support box plate. The connecting mechanism is fixedly installed at one end of the supporting column, and the connecting bracket is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting mechanism.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed within the connecting bracket, the connecting side plate is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft and rotates around the connecting bracket through the rotating shaft, and the first bracket is fixedly disposed on one side of the connecting side plate.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the second bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the first bracket, and the retractable push rod is provided in two places, with the two retractable push rods arranged in a linear array on the front and rear sides of the top of the second bracket.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the connecting support is fixedly installed at the top of the output shaft of the retracting push rod, the main body of the support plate is an L-shaped structure, the support plate is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting support, and the extension range of the support plate is adjusted by the retracting push rod.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the installation mechanism includes a connecting support plate, a flipping push rod and a connecting support, the installation mechanism is fixedly installed on the top of the supporting beam, and the connecting support plate is rotatably installed inside the installation mechanism.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the flip push rod is fixedly disposed on the side of the connecting support plate away from the installation mechanism, the connecting support is rotatably disposed on the output end of the flip push rod, and the side of the connecting support away from the flip push rod is fixedly connected to the first bracket.

[0013] This utility model provides an auxiliary box-supporting mechanism for a box-packing machine, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0014] 1. This design provides an auxiliary box-supporting mechanism for a box-packing machine. It comprises a load-bearing mechanism, a connecting mechanism, and an installation mechanism. The load-bearing mechanism's supporting beam and support column provide stable support for the connecting and installation mechanisms. The installation mechanism's flipping push rod, connecting support plate, and connecting bracket work together to adjust the rotation angle of the connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism's rotating shaft, retracting push rod, and box-supporting plate work together to flip the box's side flap. This allows the box-supporting plate to adjust its extension range via the retracting push rod and its flipping angle via the rotating shaft and flipping push rod. This device, through the coordinated operation of multiple components, can flip the box's side flap at a large angle, effectively solving the technical problem in existing technologies where box-supporting mechanisms can only open the side flap at a small angle, leading to interference between the product and the side flap during the packing of tall cartons.

[0015] 2. This design provides an auxiliary box-supporting mechanism for a box-packing machine. By setting up a load-bearing mechanism to provide stable support, the connecting mechanism and the installation mechanism work together to achieve precise box-supporting action. It eliminates the need to replace the robot with one with one with a larger stroke. By simply combining and coordinating existing parts, it enables the smooth packing of tall cartons without increasing the space occupied by the equipment. Compared with the existing technology that requires replacing the robot, it significantly reduces equipment costs and enhances the company's market competitiveness. At the same time, it adapts to the box-supporting needs of different sized packaging boxes, enhancing the practicality and versatility of the device. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 This utility model provides a technical solution for an auxiliary box-supporting mechanism for a box-packing machine, including a supporting mechanism 1, a connecting mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the right side of the supporting mechanism 1, and an installation mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the top of the supporting mechanism 1. The side of the installation mechanism 3 away from the supporting mechanism 1 is connected to the connecting mechanism 2. The supporting mechanism 1 is used to support the connecting mechanism 2 and the installation mechanism 3, the installation mechanism 3 is used to adjust the rotation angle of the connecting mechanism 2, and the connecting mechanism 2 is used to open the packaging box. By adopting the combined structure of the supporting mechanism 1, the connecting mechanism 2, and the installation mechanism 3, the functions of supporting the connecting mechanism 2 and the installation mechanism 3, adjusting the rotation angle of the connecting mechanism 2, and opening the packaging box are realized, solving the problem of high carton side tongues interfering with the box-packing operation.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the bearing mechanism 1 includes a supporting beam 101 and a supporting column 1011. There are two bearing mechanisms 1. The supporting beam 101 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the two bearing mechanisms 1. There are two supporting columns 1011. The two supporting columns 1011 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the bearing mechanism 1. By adopting the structure of the supporting beam 101 and the two symmetrically installed supporting columns 1011, the stable support function for the connecting mechanism 2 and the installation mechanism 3 is realized.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the connecting mechanism 2 includes a connecting bracket 201, a rotating shaft 2011, a connecting side plate 2012, a first bracket 2013, a second bracket 2014, a retractable push rod 2015, a connecting seat 2016, and a box-supporting plate 2017. The connecting mechanism 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the supporting column 1011, and the connecting bracket 201 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting mechanism 2. By adopting the connecting mechanism 2 composed of the connecting bracket 201, the rotating shaft 2011, and the connecting side plate 2012, and fixing it to one end of the supporting column 1011, a basic installation and transmission structure is provided for opening the packaging box, and the load-bearing function of the subsequent box-opening action is realized.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotating shaft 2011 is rotatably disposed within the connecting bracket 201, and the connecting side plate 2012 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2011. The rotating shaft 2011 rotates around the connecting bracket 201, and the first bracket 2013 is fixedly disposed on one side of the connecting side plate 2012. By adopting the structure in which the rotating shaft 2011 is rotatably disposed within the connecting bracket 201 and the connecting side plate 2012 is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2011, the function of the connecting side plate 2012 rotating around the connecting bracket 201 is realized, which provides the possibility of adjusting the support box angle.

[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the second bracket 2014 is fixedly installed at the top of the first bracket 2013. There are two retractable push rods 2015. The two retractable push rods 2015 are arranged in a linear array and fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top of the second bracket 2014. By adopting the structure of the second bracket 2014 being fixed at the top of the first bracket 2013 and the two retractable push rods 2015 being arranged in a linear array on the front and rear sides of the top of the second bracket 2014, the installation and driving support functions of the support box plate 2017 are realized.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting seat 2016 is fixedly installed at the top of the output shaft of the retracting push rod 2015. The main body of the box support plate 2017 is an L-shaped structure. The box support plate 2017 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting seat 2016, and the extension range of the box support plate 2017 can be adjusted by the retracting push rod 2015. By adopting the structure of the connecting seat 2016 being fixed at the top of the output shaft of the retracting push rod 2015 and the L-shaped box support plate 2017 being fixed at one end of the connecting seat 2016, the function of adjusting the extension range of the box support plate 2017 by the retracting push rod 2015 is realized, which can adapt to the opening requirements of packaging boxes of different sizes.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the installation mechanism 3 includes a connecting support plate 301, a flip push rod 3011, and a connecting support 3012. The installation mechanism 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the supporting beam 101, and the connecting support plate 301 is rotatably installed inside the installation mechanism 3. By using the installation mechanism 3 composed of the connecting support plate 301, the flip push rod 3011, and the connecting support 3012, and fixing it to the top of the supporting beam 101, a driving structure is provided for adjusting the rotation angle of the connecting mechanism 2.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the flip push rod 3011 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting support plate 301 away from the mounting mechanism 3, and the connecting support 3012 is rotatably installed on the output end of the flip push rod 3011. The side of the connecting support 3012 away from the flip push rod 3011 is fixedly connected to the first bracket 2013. By adopting the structure of the flip push rod 3011 fixed on one side of the connecting support plate 301 and the connecting support 3012 rotatably connected to the output end of the flip push rod 3011 and fixed to the first bracket 2013, the function of driving the connecting mechanism 2 to rotate as a whole through the flip push rod 3011 is realized, and the effect of adjusting the support box angle is further optimized.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the bearing mechanism 1 forms a stable installation foundation through the support beam 101 and two symmetrically distributed support columns 1011; the connecting mechanism 2 is fixed to one end of the support column 1011; and the installation mechanism 3 is fixed to the top of the support beam 101 and connected to the connecting mechanism 2. All three maintain the initial standby posture.

[0033] When the packing operation starts and the side flap of the packaging box needs to be opened, the installation mechanism 3 moves first, the connecting support plate 301 rotates in the installation mechanism 3, and at the same time the flip push rod 3011 starts to extend and retract. Its output end drives the first bracket 2013 to move synchronously through the connecting support 3012. Through the rotation of the connecting support plate 301 and the extension and retraction of the flip push rod 3011, the overall spatial angle of the connecting mechanism 2 is precisely adjusted so that the box-supporting support plate 2017 of the connecting mechanism 2 is aligned with the side flap of the packaging box.

[0034] Subsequently, the retracting push rod 2015 in the connecting mechanism 2 is activated, and its output shaft pushes the connecting seat 2016 to extend forward, thereby driving the L-shaped box support plate 2017 fixed at one end of the connecting seat 2016 to move towards the side tongue of the packaging box until the box support plate 2017 is in close contact with the side tongue. At this time, the flipping push rod 3011 is activated to retract, and then the rotating shaft 2011 begins to rotate in the connecting bracket 201, driving the connecting side plate 2012 fixed on its outer wall to rotate around the connecting bracket 201. The rotation of the connecting side plate 2012 drives the first bracket 2013, the second bracket 2014, and the retracting push rod 2015, the connecting seat 2016 and the box support plate 2017 installed on the second bracket 2014 to rotate together. During the rotation, the box support plate 2017 applies a stable flipping force to the side tongue of the packaging box, gradually flipping the side tongue outward.

[0035] During the side tongue flipping process, the retractable push rod 2015 can flexibly adjust the extension range of the support plate 2017 according to the actual flipping requirements of the side tongue, ensuring that the support plate 2017 always maintains effective contact with the side tongue. At the same time, the flipping push rod 3011 can further fine-tune the angle of the first bracket 2013 through the connecting support 3012, so that the side tongue can be flipped to a sufficiently large angle to completely avoid the movement path of the robot loading the product.

[0036] After the product is packed, the retracting push rod 2015 retracts first, causing the box support plate 2017 to disengage from the side tongue of the packaging box and return to its original position. Then, the flipping push rod 3011 retracts and rotates in the opposite direction with the rotating shaft 2011, causing the connecting side plate 2012, the first bracket 2013 and other components to return to their initial positions. The connecting support plate 301 also returns to its original position within the mounting mechanism 3. The entire auxiliary box support mechanism returns to its initial standby state, waiting for the next box support operation.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
