Gift box products have the following five characteristics: 1) Appearance is required to be beautiful (gorgeous printing, aesthetics and 3D three-dimensionality); 2) The packaging process is complicated (bubble film support board and partition are required), and the size is compact to form a partition product Tight cooperation; 3) The production volume of single-line products is large (single-line can reach 24,000 pieces / hour); 4) The site is constrained, and the general site, especially the multi-line site, has insufficient space for equipment; 5) Large labor investment, The
production line with the volume of slim bags
ranging from 9,200 pieces / hour to 24,000 pieces / hour generally needs about 15-30 people
[0003] In the past ten years, due to the application of new equipment and new technologies, the cost and efficiency of dairy production have been improved and considerable economic returns have been achieved. The resulting confidence in return on investment has also encouraged the industry to invest The enthusiasm for equipment investment continues to increase, and the application of technology and equipment is becoming wider and wider. However, looking at the overall development of the industry, we can find that there has been no application of
automation technology and high-end
automation equipment in the field of gift box production in the past ten years. The production process still mainly relies on manual work, heavy production tasks, high labor intensity, and high production costs, resulting in a possible passive situation that restricts the large-scale production of gift boxes. The main factors leading to this situation are the following: 1) is The product structure is complex, and boxing and sealing can no longer be completed in one or two processes; 2) Product boxing has high precision requirements. If the boxing form of traditional equipment is used, the accuracy and speed cannot be guaranteed at the same time; 3. ) is that the product boxing material is not standardized, the packaging material has partitions and bubble film, it is very messy, and the packaging form is not uniform; 4) it is the basic components in China, such as
servo motors, drive mechanisms and sensor control systems. For 24000 High production volume requirements per hour, product quality requirements have exceeded the precision and stability requirements that these components can bear
[0004] During the use of the first-generation Tetra Brik milk bag gift box automatic packing system developed by our company, it was found that due to the single-line conveyance, the speed was too fast and the chain was worn, which could easily cause problems such as milk bag damage,
carton jamming, or improper delivery; During the integration and grouping of milk packs, since the thin steel side plate is used to guide and the integrated fixture uses the cylinder side plate to clamp the
package forward, and the clamping
package is just clamped at the place where the
straw is placed when the
package is forwarded, the running direction of the milk package needs to be changed, and it needs to be adjusted. The milk bag is separated and translated multiple times, so it is easy to cause many problems such as insufficient stability of the overall production of the equipment, less bag is not easy to
discharge, the milk bag is deformed under pressure, and the
straw falls; the partition slides to the corresponding position by its own gravity , and then use the turning mechanism to supply the
clapboard to the grasping
manipulator, not only the structure is correspondingly complex, but also the action is complicated; at the same time, the
clapboard sleeve and the milk bag unit are completed by different mechanisms, and the
clapboard needs to be vacuumed twice to transfer the
robot.
Compression molding not only has a correspondingly complicated structure, but also has complicated actions, which makes the partition easy to misalign and turn, and increases
energy consumption. At the same time, the
servo control splint is used to grab the milk into the box, and it is also easy to cause problems such as deformation of the compressed milk bag with the
straw, and the drop of the straw, which is easy to cause Insufficient production stability of equipment
