A packaging box hoisting device belongs to the technical field of product packaging.
At present, in many fields (such as gloves), products need to be packaged in packaging boxes. In the process of packaging products, multiple processes need to be completed in turn: putting products into packaging boxes and sealing end covers on both sides of packaging boxes respectively. In the prior art, an assembly line for product packaging is generally arranged horizontally. That is, various processes for product packaging are provided in turn in a horizontal direction. However, the packaging mode will occupy a lot of space. In the prior art, aiming at the drawbacks of the scheme of horizontal packaging, a scheme of vertical packaging is proposed. That is, various processes for product packaging are provided in turn in a vertical direction. Therefore, aiming at the scheme of vertical packaging, a technical solution which can realize the sequential hoisting of packaging boxes in the vertical direction to complete each packaging process is designed, which becomes an urgent problem to be solved in the art.

2. In the packaging box hoisting device, the translation mechanism cooperates with the lifting mechanism and the driving device to realize an action cycle of the fixing arm to the packaging box: clamping the packaging box, vertically ascending for one operation station, releasing the packaging box, translating backward to exit the operation station, vertically descending for one operation station, translating forward to arrive at the operation station, and clamping (a next) packaging box, thus realizing the sequential hoisting of the packaging box in the vertical direction.

As shown in
The fixing arm includes at least one clamping arm. The lifting mechanism is fixed to the clamping arm. In the packaging box hoisting device, two clamping arms are arranged side by side vertically and symmetrically. By arranging the two clamping arms, the two clamping arms clamp the packaging box 33 from both sides, thus ensuring the clamping effect of the packaging box 33 in the hoisting and packaging operation processes. Outer frames 8 are arranged on outer sides of the two clamping arms. Translation guide rails 7 are arranged on inner side faces of the two outer frames 8. The translation guide rails 7 are arranged horizontally on upper and lower parts of the outer frames 8. The two clamping arms are slidably connected to the corresponding outer frames 8 through the translation guide rails 7 on the outer sides thereof.
A translation mechanism 9 for driving the fixing arm to move horizontally and reciprocally is arranged on an outer side of the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is connected to the translation mechanism 9. The translation mechanism 9 is located between the inner side faces of the two outer frames 8. The two clamping arms are fixed to the lifting mechanisms on the corresponding sides. By arranging the translation mechanism 9, the whole translation of the fixing arm is realized, and it is convenient to realize the sequential hoisting of the packaging box 33 in the vertical direction by the clamping arm.
The lifting mechanism includes a lifting fixing plate 12. The lifting fixing plate 12 is connected to the translation mechanism 9. A lifting motor 10 is fixed to a surface of the lifting fixing plate 12. A motor shaft of the lifting motor 10 is vertically downward. A lifting screw 13 is coaxially fixed to the motor shaft of the lifting motor 10. A lifting nut seat 11 is sleeved outside the lifting screw 13. The lifting nut seat 11 is threaded to the lifting screw 13, and the lifting nut seat 11 is also fixed to the corresponding clamping arm. The lifting motor 10 is threaded to the fixing arm through the lifting screw 13. The lifting mechanism realizes the whole lifting of the clamping arm.
Referring to
The two outer frames 8 are connected by a width adjusting mechanism, and the spacing between the two outer frames 8 is adjusted by the width adjusting mechanism, thus realizing the adjustment of the spacing between the two clamping arms, so as to be suitable for packaging boxes 33 with different widths (referring to
Both upper and lower ends of rear ends of the two outer frames 8 are each provided with a slide plate 21. A rear surface of the slide plate 21 is provided with a slide groove. Slide rails are arranged in the upper and lower slide grooves to guide the outer frames 8 on both sides when the width of the outer frames 8 on both sides is adjusted.
Referring to
The clamp plates include upper clamp plates 3 and lower clamp plates 6. Multiple upper clamp plates 3 are arranged on an inner side face of each inner clamping plate 1 from top to bottom. Multiple lower clamp plates 6 are arranged on an inner side face of each outer clamping plate 4. The upper clamp plates 3 and the lower clamp plates 6 correspond to each other one by one vertically. The lower clamp plates 6 extend inward and are located directly below the corresponding upper clamp plates 3. Both the upper clamp plates 3 and the lower clamp plates 6 extend horizontally forward. A corresponding group of upper clamp plates 3 and lower clamp plates 6 form an operation station corresponding to the packaging box 33 one by one. A distance between the upper clamp plate 3 and the corresponding lower clamp plate 6 is the height of the operation station.
An auxiliary adjusting cylinder 15 may also be arranged on the inner side face of the inner clamping plate 1. When the auxiliary adjusting cylinder 15 is arranged, the upper clamp plate 3 corresponding to the station is fixed to a piston rod of the auxiliary adjusting cylinder 15. The height of the corresponding station may be independently adjusted by controlling an output distance of the piston rod of the auxiliary adjusting cylinder 15. The auxiliary adjusting cylinder 15 may also be fixed to the outer clamping plate 4, and the corresponding lower clamp plate 6 is fixed to the piston rod of the auxiliary adjusting cylinder 15. The auxiliary adjusting cylinder 15 may also be fixed to the inner clamping plate 1 and the outer clamping plate 4 at the same time. At this moment, the upper clamp plate 3 and the lower clamp plate 6 are fixed to the piston rod of the corresponding auxiliary adjusting cylinder 15. The auxiliary adjusting cylinder 15 may also be realized in other ways, such as a linear motor.
The driving device is a clamping motor 5. The clamping motor 5 is arranged above a rear end of the clamping arm. A motor shaft of the clamping motor 5 is vertically upward. A clamping screw 2 is coaxially fixed to the motor shaft of the clamping motor 5. The clamping screw 2 is reversely threaded to the inner clamping plate 1 and the outer clamping plate 4 respectively. Specifically, two nut seats are sleeved on the clamping screw 2 at intervals from top to bottom. The two nut seats are reversely threaded to the clamping screw 2 respectively. The upper nut seat is fixed to the inner side face of the inner clamping plate 1 through an internal fixing member 14, and the lower nut seat is fixed to the outer clamping plate 4. When the clamping motor 5 rotates, the inner clamping plate 1 and the outer clamping plate 4 may be driven to move relatively in reverse direction by the two nut seats reversely threaded, and the upper clamp plate 3 and the lower clamp plate 6 in each operation station are further driven to move close to and away from each other, thus realizing the clamping and releasing of the packaging box 33 in the operation station.
In order to avoid indentation of the packaging box 33 when clamping the packaging box 33, the upper clamp plate 3 or the lower clamp plate 6 is an elastic clamp plate in each operation station. As shown in
A braking mechanism for keeping the packaging box 33 in the operation station stationary at least when the driving device drives to release the packaging box 33 in the operation station is also arranged at the side of the fixing arm. In the packaging box hoisting device, end faces of the packaging box 33 in contact with the upper clamp plate 3 and the lower clamp plate 6 are defined as upper and lower end faces of the packaging box 33, and both ends of a box cover of the packaging box 33 are defined as left and right end faces of the packaging box 33, so that the remaining two end faces of the packaging box 33 are front and rear end faces thereof. The braking mechanism is located on the front and rear sides of each packaging box 33. Referring to
The braking device is a braking cylinder 32. The braking cylinder 32 is located on a right side of the auxiliary fixing plate 30 which is slidably connected to the braking fixing plate 31. The braking cylinder 32 drives the two auxiliary fixing plates 30 to move close to or away from each other. Multiple groups of auxiliary clamp plates are arranged on the surfaces of the two auxiliary fixing plates 30 in one-to-one correspondence from top to bottom. The auxiliary clamp plates on the surface of each auxiliary fixing plate 30 correspond to the operation stations one by one. Each group of auxiliary clamp plates is located on both sides of the operation station, and directly faces the corresponding operation station from both sides of each operation station. The braking device may also be realized in other ways, such as an electric cylinder and a linear motor.
The specific working process and working principle are as follows.
In the packaging box hoisting device, the operation stations formed by the clamping arms are recorded as station 1, station 2, . . . , and station N in turn from bottom to top. For station 1, the translation motor 19 located on the inner sides of the two outer frames 8 rotates (rotating forward) to drive the two clamping arms forward to the packaging box 33 (not shown), and the corresponding packaging box 33 arrives at station 1. Then the clamping motor 5 above the two clamping arms rotates synchronously (rotating forward) to drive the inner clamping plate 1 and the outer clamping plate 4 of the two clamping arms to move relatively, whereby the upper clamp plate 3 and the lower clamp plate 6 of the two clamping arms clamp the packaging box 33 in station 1 from both sides of the packaging box 33. After the packaging box 33 is clamped by the two clamping arms, the braking cylinder 32 is reset, and the auxiliary clamp plate is separated from the packaging box 33.
Then, the lifting motor 10 in the lifting mechanism on both sides of the clamping arm rotates (rotating forward) to drive the two clamping arms to rise respectively. At the same time, stations 1, . . . , and N rise synchronously, and the packaging box 33 in station 1 rises to the position of the original station 2, . . . , and the packaging box 33 in station N-1 rises to the position of the original station N. The packaging box 33 in the original station N is transferred after all operations are completed. When the packaging box 33 in each operation station is raised to a new operation station, the packaging box 33 in each operation station is correspondingly packaged in the new operation station. After the packaging box 33 is correspondingly packaged in the new operation station, the braking cylinder 32 is operated to move the two auxiliary fixing plates 30 close to each other, and the packaging box 33 is clamped from both sides by the auxiliary clamp plates on the surfaces thereof.
After the packaging box 33 in the operation station is clamped by the auxiliary clamp plates, the clamping motor 38 above the two clamping arms rotates reversely to release the corresponding packaging box 33. At this moment, the packaging box 33 remains stationary under the action of the braking mechanism. Then the translation motor 19 rotates reversely to drive a lifting assembly and the clamping arm to move backward. The packaging box 33 is separated from the corresponding operation station. Finally the lifting motor 43 rotates reversely to drive the two clamping arms down respectively. The above-mentioned steps are performed again cyclically. The packaging boxes 33 arranged vertically are operated at one operation station in turn, are correspondingly packaged, and are finally outputted. As can be seen from the above, in the packaging box hoisting device, all packaging boxes 33 can be synchronously transferred in a vertical direction so as to contribute to the completion of various processes for product packaging in the vertical direction.
