[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic cartoning machine for oral liquid filling bottles, including a frame 1: and also includes an arranging unit 20, a grabbing unit 30, a box storing unit 40, a box taking unit 50 and a stacking unit 60 arranged on the frame 1;

[0033] The alignment unit 20 is suitable for aligning the filled bottles conveyed from the detection unit into a row. Since the detection unit lifts the detected filled bottles during the detection process, the spacing between adjacent filled bottles does not match the spacing of the grabbing unit 30 to grab the filled bottles. Therefore, the alignment unit is used to adjust the gap between adjacent filled bottles to be consistent with the gap required by the grabbing unit 30, so as to facilitate grabbing;

[0034] The grabbing unit 30 grabs a row of filled bottles;

[0035] The box storage unit 40 is suitable for storing multi-layer boxes 7. The box storage unit 40 can place multi-layer boxes 7 at one time, which is convenient for the cartoning machine to automatically take out boxes without manual supervision. The operator can conduct inspections according to the time period after the multi-layer boxes are taken out, thereby reducing labor intensity.

[0036] The box taking unit 50 takes out the boxes from the box storing unit 40 from bottom to top and transports them to the bottom of the grabbing unit 30 for easy grabbing.

[0037] The taking unit 30 places the filled bottles in the box 7; when the box 7 is full, the box is transported to the box stacking unit 60 through the box taking unit 50, and the stacking unit 60 stacks the boxes into multiple layers in sequence. Through automatic box taking, automatic gripping, automatic box loading and automatic box stacking, a fully automated operation is formed, which prolongs the operator's patrol time, reduces labor intensity and improves box loading efficiency.

[0038] When in use, the manufacturing company can arrange the row units 20 into multiple groups according to production needs, preferably two groups. The grabbing unit 30 can work back and forth between the two groups of row units 20 and work alternately, thereby increasing the speed of grabbing and filling bottles and further improving production efficiency.

[0039] Further, the arranging unit 20 includes an arranging member 21 and a laying member 22 arranged above the arranging member 21 and moving left and right along the arranging member 21; the arranging member 21 is provided with a placement cavity 211 for arranging the filled bottles in a row; the laying member 22 is suitable for holding the filled bottles after inspection and laying the filled bottles in the placement cavity 211. Specifically, the filled bottles inspected by the inspection unit are grabbed by the robot of the inspection unit and placed in the laying member 22. Due to the working requirements of the inspection unit, the gap between the adjacent canned bottles after inspection cannot meet the gap during boxing. Therefore, the laying member 22 is driven by the linear module slide to move back and forth above the arranging member 21 to spread the filled bottles in the placement cavity 211. The gap between the placement cavities 211 is the boxing gap of a row of filled bottles. The arranged filled bottles meet the working conditions of the grabbing unit, and are automatically arranged to improve the accuracy of boxing.

[0040] The laying member 22 includes an axial through cavity 221 formed by a top, a bottom and two side walls. A plurality of partitions are arranged in the through cavity to divide the through cavity into a plurality of laying cavities.

[0041] Further, the grabbing unit 30 includes a mechanical arm 31, a grabbing member 32 arranged at the bottom of the mechanical arm 31, a longitudinal driving member 34 driving the mechanical arm to move up and down, and a horizontal driving member 33 driving the longitudinal driving member 34 to move horizontally and reciprocatingly. The mechanical arm 31 can move horizontally and form a space up and down to facilitate alignment with the filled bottle to be grabbed. In order to improve the accuracy of the up and down and horizontal movement of the mechanical arm 31, the horizontal driving member 33 and the longitudinal driving member 34 are both high-speed slides;

[0042] The gripper 32 includes a mounting seat 321 and a rotating shaft 322 mounted on the mounting seat 321, a negative pressure adsorption member 323, and a driving member 324 that drives the rotating shaft 322 to drive the negative pressure adsorption member 323 to rotate in both horizontal and vertical directions. Specifically, the negative pressure adsorption member 323 includes an elastic suction nozzle 3231 and an air outlet nozzle 3232 on which the elastic suction nozzle 3231 is installed. The air outlet nozzle 3232 is connected to the negative pressure device through a hose to form a negative pressure. When in use, the elastic suction nozzle 3231 extends into the bottle mouth of the filling bottle, and then adsorbs. After the adsorption and grasping are completed, the driving member 324 drives the rotating shaft 322 to rotate, rotates the negative pressure adsorption member 323 to a vertical direction, and the mechanical arm 31 moves down to place the filling bottle in the box at the bottom. In order to improve the working efficiency of the gripper 32, two sets of square grippers 32 can be installed to complete the one-to-two working rhythm, meet the grasping of the filling bottles from the two detection lines, shorten the working rhythm, and improve work efficiency.

[0043] Furthermore, the negative pressure adsorption components 323 are provided in plurality, and the plurality of adsorption components correspond one-to-one with the placement chamber 211 during operation, that is, the negative pressure adsorption components 323 are the same as the placement chamber 211, forming a row to meet the working rhythm.

[0044] Furthermore, the box storage unit 40 includes a box storage cavity 70 with upper and lower openings surrounded by a baffle 41, two side panels 42 and a frame 1; and a lifting mechanism 80 located at the bottom of the frame 1 is provided below the box storage cavity 70, and clamping mechanisms 90 located on the frame 1 are provided on both sides opposite to each other; the clamping mechanism 80 is suitable for clamping the box in the box storage cavity 70; the lifting mechanism 80 is suitable for supporting the box body located at the bottom layer and then lowering it to the box removal unit 50. Specifically, the box storage cavity 70 can store and retrieve multiple stacked boxes at one time. The upper and lower adjacent boxes are supported and stacked on each other through the top of the side panels of the boxes. The clamping mechanism 80 always clamps the two sides of the box at the bottom layer. When taking out the box, the lifting mechanism 80 rises to hold the box at the bottom layer, and then the clamping mechanism 90 is released, and the lifting mechanism 80 drives the box at the bottom layer to descend. During the descent process, the clamping mechanism 90 clamps and positions the box that falls into the bottom layer again, and the box driven by the lifting mechanism 80 to descend is dropped to the box retrieval unit 50, and the box is stranded at the retrieval unit, and the lifting mechanism 80 continues to descend and return to its original position, forming a working cycle of placing the box from the box storage cavity 70 to the box retrieval unit 50, and then again.

[0045] When taking out the box, just repeat the above actions, thus forming a continuous supply of boxes with a high degree of automation.

[0046] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 80 includes a first-level lifting member 81 and a second-level lifting member 82 arranged up and down; the first-level lifting member 81 is suitable for driving the second-level lifting member 82 to lift and lower, forming a two-stage lifting. Specifically, the first-level lifting member 81 and the second-level lifting member 82 respectively include a bottom plate 811 and an elevator 812 that drives the bottom plate 811 to lift and lower, and a top plate 813 is installed on the bottom plate of the first-level lifting member 81 to facilitate lifting the box, wherein the height of the top plate 813 can be freely adjusted. Through two-stage lifting, the lifting mechanism 80 expands the lifting range exponentially, meets the lifting needs of a larger range, and is convenient for lifting the box in the storage cavity and bringing it to the box retrieval location.

[0047] Furthermore, the box taking unit 50 includes a box taking component 51 and a linear module slide 52 for driving the box taking component 51 to slide; the linear module slide 52 is suitable for driving the box taking component 51 to be directly below the grasping unit 30 .

[0048] Furthermore, the box taking component 51 includes an L-shaped plate 511 and a baffle 512 arranged on the L-shaped plate 511; the baffle 512 and the end of the L-shaped plate 511 form a box taking cavity 513, the lifting mechanism 80 drives the box to descend into the box taking cavity 513, and the linear module slide 52 drives the box taking cavity 513 to move to the bottom of the grasping unit 30. During the box loading process, in order to form multi-column storage, the box taking cavity 513 drives the box to move back and forth according to the box loading requirements to form multi-column storage. When the box is full, the linear module slide 52 drives the full box to move to the box stacking unit 60.

[0049] Furthermore, the stacking unit 60 has the same structure as the box storage unit 40, and a lifting mechanism identical to that below the box storage cavity 70 is installed below the stacking unit 60, and clamping mechanisms identical to those on both sides of the box storage cavity 70 are installed on both sides. When the box filled with filled bottles is moved to the stacking unit 60, the lifting mechanism pushes up the box, and then the clamping mechanism clamps the box from both sides to position the box, the lifting mechanism descends and resets, and then the next full box is pushed up again to form automatic stacking, which can meet the needs of stacking multiple boxes at one time, extending the inspection time of operators, reducing labor intensity, and reducing manpower.

[0050] The automatic cartoning machine of this embodiment first arranges the filled bottles into a row structure required for cartoning through the row arrangement unit, and automatically arranges the rows to meet the cartoning needs; at the same time, the boxes are manually placed in the box storage unit, which can store multiple boxes at a time, and then the boxes are taken out in sequence by the box taking unit. After the boxes are taken out, the boxes are transported to the bottom of the gripping unit and then boxed. When the boxes are full, the boxes are transported to the box stacking unit and stacked to form a multi-layer stack, thereby completing a series of automatic cartoning tasks, thereby extending the inspection rhythm of the operator, and one person can take care of multiple machines at the same time, reducing manual input and labor intensity.

[0051] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention through the above description. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
