Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a beer packing and palletizing device, belonging to the field of beer packing. Background Technology

[0002] In a traditional beer bottling production line's plastic box packaging line, the subsequent processes require a series of sequentially installed unpacking machines, packing machines, and palletizers. These three machines work together to complete the final packing and palletizing operations. First, a forklift transports a stack of empty boxes to a fixed position, where the unpacking machine unloads them. The empty boxes are then automatically conveyed to the packing machine's station via a conveyor belt. The packing machine loads the filled product into the empty boxes, and then the packed plastic boxes are sent to the palletizer's station for stacking, finally forming the finished product for warehousing.

[0003] Therefore, a beer packing and palletizing system with patent number CN201921468097.3 describes a first conveyor belt that transports a stack of empty boxes. The palletizer then unloads the empty boxes one by one from the stack and places them on a packing platform. The packing machine then loads the beer bottles transported by the second conveyor belt into the empty boxes placed on the packing platform, completing the packing process. Finally, the palletizer returns the boxes filled with beer bottles to the conveyor belt, completing the final transport.

[0004] The above description describes how a palletizer uses grippers to lift and transport boxes filled with beer bottles. Because a full load of beer bottles has a certain weight, if a bottom support is not provided at the bottom of the grippers, the stability of the transport of the full box cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, during transport, the beer boxes are prone to falling due to unstable clamping. This can result in a waste of resources or, in severe cases, damage to the palletizing device. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a beer packing and palletizing device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0007] A beer packing and palletizing device includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt. A roller conveyor is arranged between the first and second conveyor belts. A palletizer and an auxiliary palletizer are arranged between the roller conveyor and the first conveyor belt. A case packer is arranged on the second conveyor belt. The palletizer's operating arm is detachably connected to an auxiliary clamp. The auxiliary clamp includes a top plate. A vertical clamp is fixedly arranged on one side of the bottom end of the top plate. An auxiliary vertical clamp is slidably arranged on the other side of the bottom end of the top plate. A bottom support is arranged on the vertical clamp. The bottom support includes an L-shaped plate fixedly arranged on the auxiliary vertical clamp. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly arranged on the L-shaped plate. The output end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the bottom support plate. The auxiliary palletizer's operating arm is detachably connected to the clamp.

[0008] Furthermore, both ends of the bottom support plate are provided with transverse sliding grooves, and the bottom of the vertical clamping plate and the secondary vertical clamping plate are provided with through grooves for the bottom support plate to pass through. Both ends of the through grooves are fixed with traction blocks that match the transverse sliding grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, an electric telescopic rod 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the top plate, and two secondary transverse sliding grooves are opened on the top plate. Sliding plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the secondary vertical clamping plate. The sliding plates slide in the secondary transverse sliding grooves, and a connecting plate is fixedly installed between the sliding plates. The output end rod of the electric telescopic rod 2 is connected to the connecting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a base plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the frame of the roller conveyor, an electric telescopic rod three is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, a lifting plate is fixedly installed on the output top of the electric telescopic rod three, and a lifting assembly is installed on the top of the lifting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting assembly consists of lifting rods fixed at the four corners of the top of the lifting plate, and ball bearings are embedded in the sides of both ends of the lifting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the ball bearings are rolled inside the conveyor frame, with three-quarters of their volume embedded inside the side of the lifting plate, and the lifting rods penetrate the conveyor rollers.

[0013] Furthermore, a third conveyor belt is provided on one side of the first conveyor belt, and both the palletizer and the auxiliary palletizer include a power unit and an operating arm. An alignment device is also provided on the second conveyor belt.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The right side of the first conveyor belt is the loading end. With the help of forklifts and other transportation tools, the entire stack of empty boxes is forked onto the first conveyor belt on the right. The entire stack of empty boxes is then transported by the conveyor belt on the first conveyor belt. Then, the boxes are placed on the rollers of the conveyor by the clamps on the auxiliary palletizer. The auxiliary palletizer then unloads the empty boxes one by one from the entire stack of empty boxes.

[0016] The right side of the second conveyor belt is the feeding side, and the other end is equipped with a case packer. The case packer loads the beer bottles conveyed by the second conveyor belt into empty boxes placed on the conveyor. After the empty boxes are full of beer bottles, the boxes full of beer bottles are conveyed by rollers on the conveyor to the other end of the conveyor. Then, a palletizer picks up the boxes full of beer bottles and places them on the third conveyor belt for final conveying. Finally, they are transported to the corresponding storage location by forklifts and other transportation equipment.

[0017] To achieve intelligent handling, and considering the weight of full beer cartons, an auxiliary clamp was designed. This clamp, along with an auxiliary vertical clamp and a vertical clamp, clamps the outer sides of the full beer cartons. After clamping, the bottom of the beer cartons is supported by a bottom support plate to effectively prevent the beer cartons from falling during handling due to unstable clamping. This would at least result in resource waste, or even damage to the stacking device if the beer cartons fall onto it. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a beer packing and palletizing device, including a first conveyor belt 1 and a second conveyor belt 2. A roller conveyor 3 is arranged between the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2. A palletizer 4 and an auxiliary palletizer 6 are arranged between the roller conveyor 3 and the first conveyor belt 1. A case packer 5 is arranged on the second conveyor belt 2. An auxiliary clamp 8 is detachably connected to the operating arm connection of the palletizer 4. The auxiliary clamp 8 includes a top plate 9. A vertical clamp 10 is fixedly arranged on one side of the bottom end of the top plate 9. An auxiliary vertical clamp 11 is slidably arranged on the other side of the bottom end of the top plate 9. A bottom support is arranged on the vertical clamp 10. The bottom support includes an L-shaped plate 12 fixedly arranged on the auxiliary vertical clamp 11. An electric telescopic rod 13 is fixedly arranged on the L-shaped plate 12. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 13 is connected to a bottom support plate 14. The clamp is detachably connected to the operating arm connection of the auxiliary palletizer 6.

[0026] See Figure 2-3The bottom support plate 14 has transverse sliding grooves 15 on both sides. The bottom of the vertical clamping plate 10 and the secondary vertical clamping plate 11 have through grooves 16 for the bottom support plate 14 to pass through. Traction blocks 26 matching the transverse sliding grooves 15 are fixed at both ends of the through grooves 16. The top plate 9 has an electric telescopic rod 17 fixed at the top. The top plate 9 has two secondary transverse sliding grooves 18. Sliding plates 19 are fixed on both sides of the top of the secondary vertical clamping plate 11. The sliding plates 19 slide in the secondary transverse sliding grooves 18. A connecting plate is fixed between the sliding plates 19. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 17 is connected to the connecting plate. The electric telescopic rod 17 drives the connecting plate between the sliding plates 19 to move, thus driving the connected sliding plates to move. The moving plate 19 and its connected secondary vertical clamping plate 11 move, thus clamping beer boxes of different sizes. The inner surfaces of the secondary vertical clamping plate 11 and the vertical clamping plate 10 can be provided with a rubber layer to prevent slipping during clamping. In conjunction with the electric telescopic rod 13, the bottom support plate 14 moves towards the secondary vertical clamping plate 11. Finally, the bottom support plate 14 provides overall support for the beer box, ensuring the stability of handling. Furthermore, a traction block 26 is slidably installed in the transverse groove 15 of the bottom support plate 14. The traction block 26 of the secondary vertical clamping plate 11 is also located in the transverse groove 15. Therefore, the designed traction block 26 supports the bottom support plate 14, further improving the stability of the support.

[0027] See Figure 4 The roller conveyor 3 has a base plate 20 fixed inside its frame. An electric telescopic rod 21 is fixed to the top of the base plate 20. A lifting plate 22 is fixed to the top of the electric telescopic rod 21. A lifting assembly is installed at the top of the lifting plate 22, consisting of lifting rods 23 fixed to the four corners of the top of the lifting plate 22. Ball bearings 24 are embedded in the sides of both ends of the lifting plate 22. The ball bearings 24 are rotatably mounted inside the frame of the conveyor 3, with three-quarters of their volume embedded in the sides of the lifting plate 22. Inside, the lifting rod 23 passes through the rollers of the conveyor 3. The electric telescopic rod 21 on the bottom plate 20 drives the lifting plate 22 and the lifting rod 23 to rise. The box filled with beer bottles is transported through the rollers on the conveyor 3 to the other end of the conveyor 3. The lifting rod 23 is then raised to lift the box filled with beer bottles. This allows the auxiliary vertical clamping plate 11 and the vertical clamping plate 10 described above to clamp the box. The bottom support plate 14 provides overall support for the beer box.

[0028] See Figure 1 A third conveyor belt 25 is provided on one side of the first conveyor belt 1. The palletizer 4 and the auxiliary palletizer 6 both include a power unit and an operating arm. The second conveyor belt 2 is also equipped with an alignment device.

[0029] In practice, the right side of the first conveyor belt 1 is the loading end. Forklifts and other transport vehicles are used to move stacks of empty boxes onto the first conveyor belt 1 on the right. The conveyor belt on the first conveyor belt 1 then transports the stack of empty boxes. The boxes are then placed on the rollers of the conveyor 3 by clamps on the auxiliary palletizer 6. The auxiliary palletizer 6 then unloads the empty boxes one by one from the stack. The right side of the second conveyor belt 2 is the loading side, and the other end is equipped with a case packer 5. The case packer 5 loads the beer bottles transported from the second conveyor belt 2 into the empty boxes placed on the conveyor 3. Once the empty boxes are full of beer bottles, the rollers on the conveyor 3 transport the full boxes of beer bottles to the conveyor 3. At the other end, the palletizer 4 picks up the boxes filled with beer bottles and places them on the third conveyor belt 25 for final transport. Then, they are transported to the corresponding storage location by forklifts and other transportation equipment, realizing intelligent handling. In addition, since the full beer boxes have a certain weight, an auxiliary clamp 8 is designed. Together with the auxiliary vertical clamp 11 and the vertical clamp 10, the two sides of the outer wall of the full beer box are clamped. After clamping, the bottom of the beer box is supported by the bottom support plate 14 to effectively prevent the beer box from falling during the handling process due to unstable clamping. This would at least waste resources, or at worst, cause the beer box to fall onto the palletizing device and damage the device.

[0030] The palletizer and auxiliary palletizer 6 include a power unit and an operating arm. The front end of the operating arm is provided with a connecting part, which is detachably connected to a clamp and an auxiliary clamp 8 for gripping boxes. The first conveyor belt 1, the second conveyor belt 2, the conveyor 3, and the third conveyor belt 25 are all located within the range of motion of the operating arm, and are then controlled by the output of the power unit.

[0031] The second conveyor belt 2 is also equipped with an aligning device, which includes three rows of bottle conveyor belts, a distributor, and a bottle rubbing machine. The bottle rubbing machine swings left and right to allow the beer bottles to smoothly enter the distributor. Under the conveying of the bottle conveyor belt, they are neatly arranged and transported to the working area of ​​the case packing machine 5. The case packing machine 5 is equipped with a chuck, which is equipped with several pneumatic suction heads. The spacing between the suction heads can be adjusted by adjusting the stroke of the cylinder opening and closing. Because different sizes of beer bottles are produced, and the diameters of the bottles vary, the spacing between each bottle will also be different when passing through the aligning device. Therefore, the adjustable suction head spacing ensures that the case packer can handle more different sizes of beer bottles. The first conveyor belt 1, the second conveyor belt 2, the conveyor belt 3, the third conveyor belt 25, and their electrically operated telescopic rods are all equipped with signal control devices. The signal control devices are connected to external signal control equipment, which can be mobile phones, computers, or other devices with remote signal control functions. This enables mobile monitoring and centralized operation control of the equipment. One person can monitor multiple devices, and when a fault or abnormal alarm occurs, the operator can immediately arrive at the scene to handle it. No dedicated personnel are required to supervise the equipment, saving manpower. The aligning device is not shown in the figure. The aligning device, palletizer 4, auxiliary palletizer, and case packer 5 are all existing publicly available technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] Although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
