Problems solved by technology

The above operations not only require high space, but also need to add a separate handling process, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources
[0004] In addition, the price of the unpacking mechanism is expensive, the cost of use and maintenance is high, and it is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to afford the cost of using such machines

Embodiment 1

[0055] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the carton folding robot of the present invention includes a dual-arm robot, a driven first manipulator 1, a second manipulator 2 and an auxiliary back cover tooling 3, and the first manipulator 1 and the second manipulator 2 are installed on the arms respectively. The driving arm of the robot is used to drive the movement of the first manipulator and the second manipulator, and the auxiliary back cover tooling 3 is located below between the first manipulator 1 and the second manipulator 2;

[0056] The second manipulator 2 includes a second mounting substrate 4 connected to the robot, a suction cup assembly mounted on the second mounting substrate 4, an auxiliary positioning mechanism and a closing mechanism, and the auxiliary positioning mechanism is used for positioning and clamping the carton, so The closing mechanism is used to close the left bottom plate and the right bottom plate of the bottom surface of the carton, wherein the a...

Embodiment 2

[0071] On the basis of Example 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first manipulator 1 in the carton folding robot of the present invention includes a first installation substrate 27 connected to the robot, a gripping mechanism for grabbing cartons and an ejection mechanism for opening and folding cartons , one side of the first mounting substrate 27 is installed with the gripping mechanism, and the other side is installed with the ejection mechanism, wherein: the gripping mechanism includes a rotating cylinder 24, a suction cup mounting plate 21 and a suction cup, and the rotating Cylinder 24 is installed on the described first mounting base plate 27, and the output end of described rotary cylinder 24 is connected with suction cup mounting plate 21, and described suction cup is installed in the bottom of suction cup mounting plate 21 for grabbing folding carton; The ejector mechanism includes a straight-travel cylinder 26 and a roller assembly. The straight-travel cylinder 26 ...

Embodiment 3

[0083] On the basis of Example 2, such as Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the bottom surface of the carton includes a front base plate, a rear base plate, a left base plate and a right base plate, a socket is formed on the rear base plate, and a tongue matched with the rear base plate is formed on the front base plate.

[0084] Utilize the folding method of the carton folding robot described in embodiment 2, comprise the following steps:

[0085] (1) The suction cup of the first manipulator 1 grabs the carton in the folded state on the feeding station (the folded carton is in a horizontal state, and 4 suction cups grab the rear side panel of the carton ( Figure 5The opposite side of the front side plate 36), such as Figure 5 shown);

[0086] (2) The rotary cylinder 24 drives the suction cup of the first manipulator 1 to rotate 90°, so that the carton in the horizontal state rotates in a vertical state. At this time, the left side plate 31 and the right side plate of the carto...

Abstract

The invention discloses a carton folding robot. The carton folding robot comprises a double-arm robot, a driven first mechanical hand, a second mechanical hand and an auxiliary bottom sealing tool, wherein the auxiliary bottom sealing tool is positioned under the position between the first mechanical hand and the second mechanical hand; the second mechanical hand comprises a driving arm connectedwith a robot body, a second mounting base plate connected with the driving arm, a sucking disc component arranged on the second mounting base plate, an auxiliary positioning mechanism and a closing mechanism; the auxiliary bottom sealing tool comprises a supporting base plate, an upper closing plate, a lower closing plate, an auxiliary plate and a locking plate; and the first mechanical hand and the second mechanical hand are clamped and matched on the supporting base plate to move back and forth, so that the bottom surface of a carton is closed and locked. The first mechanical hand grabs andopens the folded carton, and then the second mechanical hand clamps and positions the carton, so that a left bottom board and a right bottom board of the bottom surface of the carton are folded and closed, a front side board and a rear side board of the bottom surface of the carton are folded by the auxiliary bottom sealing tool, and thus the bottom surface of the carton is quickly closed and locked.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of carton processing equipment, and in particular relates to a carton folding robot and a folding method thereof. Background technique [0002] As a packaging material, cartons are widely used in all aspects of industrial production. However, after the production of cartons or cartons is completed, in order to facilitate transportation and storage, they are usually stored in a folded manner. In production and use, they need to be folded first. The next step of packing can only be carried out after the carton in the state is opened. like Image 6 As shown, the carton includes an upper cover, a left side, a right side, a front side, a rear side and a bottom, and the left side, right side, front side and rear side are enclosed to form the side of the carton , The upper cover and the bottom plate are respectively set up and down on the side of the carton, the carton in the folded state is in a flat state, the l...
