ABSTRACT
There has been a huge demand for intermittent movement of packaging in industries since the beginning. Although continuous movement is more or less important, in the same field sporadic movement has become essential. The aim of this study is to design a mechanism that provides this stop-and-go movement using mechanical linkages. The advantage of this system over the conveyor system is that the system has a time delay between moving the packages and this delay can be used to introduce any changes to the packaging or move the packaging for any other purpose in the same way. While in normal conveyor mechanism such actions cannot be performed unless a programmed module is used to produce intermittent stop of the belt, which is basically expensive. The prototype design requires an electric motor, axles and the structure and platform on which the packages are moved. All links are made of normal MS (mild steel) and wood, including the head, which has direct contact with the boxes to be moved. The system is expected to move heavy packages weighing approximately 2 kg. The aim of the project work is to design and manufacture a box handling mechanism that greatly facilitates movement with so-called quadruple stay machines, whereby a blank box is folded or configured into a box shape. These prepared boxes are transferred via a conveyor to an operator, who collects the boxes and places and centralizes them in packaging with which the boxes will be covered. The boxes and packaging are then transported to a box wrapping machine, where the packaging is folded and glued to the box. Typically, the operation of the packaging machine is controlled by means of a switch operated by the box forming machine, so that their operating speeds are related to each other.
INTRODUCTION
The movement or box changing set has a simple mechanism, driven by a crank and arrangement of links. How the rotary movement of the electric motor is converted into the back-and-forth movement of the connections is very simple. Rotary motion is converted into linear motion by the crank and arrangement of mechanical linkages. The transportation system is continuous motion, or if delay is produced, there will be a definite requirement for software programming, which will be expensive. Thus, a basic package movement module is designed with a time delay that can be used to make changes if necessary to the package or move the package for any other purpose. This invention relates to improvements in transfer and conveying devices, and particularly relates to devices for transferring prepared cardboard boxes from a box folding or forming machine to the operator of a semi-automatic box packaging machine. Many manufacturers of wrapped or covered cardboard boxes, used to package sweets, cakes and other sweets, cosmetics and other items, are equipped with computer-aided technologies (CAD, CAM)) to control industrial machines and processes, reducing the need for human labor. intervention. Within the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization. While mechanization has provided human operators with machines to assist them with the muscular demands of the job, automation also greatly reduces the need for human sensory and mental demands. Processes and systems can also be automated. Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and daily experience. Engineers strive to combine automated devices with mathematical and organizational tools to create complex systems for a rapidly expanding range of applications and human activities.
PRINCIPLE
The principle of box movement is to transform the circulatory movement or cyclical movement of the DC motor into translational movement with the help of levers and connections through metal connecting rods.
box conveyor mechanical designApplication
- Can use this mechanism in medical production fields.
- It can also be used in the bottle filling process.
- You can use this mechanism in the production of cold drinks.
BENEFITS
- No lubricants are required.
- Simple to build.
- Easy maintenance.
- A less qualified operator is sufficient.
- Operation noise is reduced.
BENEFITS
- Replacing human operators in tedious tasks.
- Replacing humans in tasks that should be performed in hazardous environments (i.e. fire, space, volcanoes, nuclear facilities).
installations, underwater, etc.) - Performing tasks that are beyond human capabilities, such as handling very heavy loads, very large objects, very hot or very cold substances, or the need to make things very fast or very slow.
- Improvement of the economy. Sometimes, some types of automation imply improvements in the economy of companies, society or the majority of humanity. For example, when a company that invested in automation technology recovers its investment; when a state or country increases its income due to automation like Germany or Japan in the 20th century or when humanity can use the Internet which in turn uses satellites and other automated engines.
DISADVANTAGES
- Limits of technology. Current technology is unable to automate all desired tasks.
- Unpredictable development costs. The research and development cost of automating a process is difficult to calculate.
Predict accurately beforehand. Since this cost can have a huge impact on profitability, it is possible to finish automating a process only to discover that there is no economic advantage in doing so. - Initial costs are relatively high. Automating a new product required a huge initial investment compared to the unit cost of the product, even though the cost of automation is spread over many batches of products.
