Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical paper box packaging, specifically to a fully automatic box opening, sealing, and palletizing machine that packs pharmaceutical paper boxes and then pallets them. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, cardboard boxes are bundled and packed into cartons. Currently, the bundling of cardboard boxes is done by a cardboard box bundling machine, and then the boxes are packed into cartons by an opening and sealing machine. After being packed into cartons, the cardboard boxes need to be stacked and then transported away by forklifts. The existing common stacking method is to use a conveyor mechanism to output the material laterally, and then a stacking robot stacks the cartons. However, this method can only stack cartons to the front end of the conveyor mechanism. If two stacking spaces are arranged on the left and right sides at the front end of the conveyor mechanism, the stacking robot cannot transition to the right stacking space when the left stacking space is full. Therefore, it can only continue after the cartons in the left stacking space are removed by the forklift. Obviously, this method is discontinuous and directly affects efficiency. If the fully automatic cardboard box packing equipment is designed for continuous output, then this stacking method cannot be properly matched. If two stacking spaces are arranged at the front and rear of the conveyor, the forklift will need to move the cartons from the front stacking space to the rear stacking space. This is very inconvenient for the forklift, and a lot of space needs to be left at the rear for the forklift to pass through and adjust. For a factory where space is at a premium, this method is obviously unreasonable. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of existing technology, the present invention innovatively provides a fully automatic box opening, sealing and palletizing machine that can arrange two independent palletizing spaces on the left and right.

[0004] This fully automatic carton opening, sealing, and palletizing integrated machine includes an opening and sealing machine and a carton palletizing machine.

[0009] The carton opening and sealing machine includes a carton hopper, which includes a hopper frame. A movable feeding frame is mounted on the hopper frame. Two opposing support plate assemblies are mounted on the feeding frame. Each support plate assembly includes a support plate and a support plate shaft. The support plate shaft is rotatably mounted on the feeding frame. The support plate is connected to the support plate shaft. A connector is connected to the support plate shaft. One end of the connector is connected to a tension spring, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the feeding frame. The tension spring drives the support plate to rotate inward. A feeding platform is provided below the feeding frame. The feeding platform is connected to a feeding power source that drives the feeding platform to move up and down.

[0010] A carton buffer mechanism is provided between the feeding frame and the feeding platform.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this fully automatic carton opening, sealing, and palletizing machine includes a carton opening and sealing machine A and a carton palletizing machine B, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the carton opening and sealing machine A is used to complete the carton packing work, and then the carton C enters the carton palletizer B for palletizing.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the carton opening and sealing machine A includes a carton conveying device A1. Cartons C are conveyed on the carton conveying device A1 while the packing process is completed. Figure 2 As shown, the carton palletizer B includes a palletizing robot B2 and a palletizing conveyor B1. The palletizing conveyor B1 is located in front of the palletizing robot B2 and includes a feeding transverse conveying mechanism B10. The feeding end of the feeding transverse conveying mechanism B10 is connected to the discharging end of the carton conveying device A1. The carton conveying device A1 transports the completed cartons C onto the feeding transverse conveying mechanism B10 of the carton palletizer B. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a transitional transverse conveyor B12 is provided on one side of the feeding transverse conveyor B10, and the transitional transverse conveyor B12 is connected to the feeding transverse conveyor B10. On one side of the transitional transverse conveyor B12, a discharge longitudinal conveyor B14 is provided, and the discharge longitudinal conveyor B14 is connected to the transitional transverse conveyor B12. There is a first stacking space B7 between one side of the discharge longitudinal conveyor B14 and the feeding transverse conveyor B10, and there is a second stacking space B8 on the other side of the discharge longitudinal conveyor B14.

[0035] On the palletizing conveyor B1, the carton C changes from horizontal conveying to vertical conveying and finally arrives at the discharge vertical conveyor B14. The discharge vertical conveyor B14 has a first palletizing space B7 on the left and a second palletizing space B8 on the right. In this way, the palletizing robot B2 can first stack the carton C on the discharge vertical conveyor B14 in the first palletizing space B7. After the first palletizing space B7 is full, the palletizing robot B2 will then stack the carton C on the discharge vertical conveyor B14 in the second palletizing space B8. Since the first palletizing space B7 and the second palletizing space B8 are distributed on both sides of the discharge point, the palletizing robot B2 will not interfere with the transition from one palletizing space to another, and the palletizing robot B2 can achieve continuous operation. Meanwhile, due to this palletizing space layout, the discharge direction of the carton opening and sealing machine A and the two palletizing spaces of the carton palletizer B are on the same horizontal line. The whole machine is only lengthened in the horizontal direction, which fully complies with the overall machine design specifications. The forklift only needs to operate from the front of the carton palletizer and does not need to go around to the back, which greatly facilitates forklift transportation.

[0036] As mentioned above, the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12 is connected to the feeding transverse conveyor mechanism B10, meaning that the cartons C on the feeding transverse conveyor mechanism B10 can be conveyed to the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12. There are several ways to convey cartons from the feeding transverse conveyor mechanism B10 to the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12: for example, a cylinder-driven pusher plate can push the cartons from the feeding transverse conveyor mechanism B10 to the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12; for example, a conveyor belt can be installed above, with multiple pushers evenly distributed along the belt length. The conveyor belt travels longitudinally, and when the cartons reach the pushers, the pushers push the cartons onto the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12; or a robotic arm can be used to move the cartons from the feeding transverse conveyor mechanism B10 to the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12.

[0037] However, the above methods are not very compact in structure, occupy a lot of space, and are costly. Therefore, this invention also provides a method for conveying connection through a first conveyor belt mechanism B11, as shown in the figure. The first conveyor belt mechanism B11 includes a first conveyor belt B110, while the feeding transverse conveying mechanism B10 includes multiple feeding conveying rollers B100, and the transition transverse conveying mechanism B12 includes multiple transition conveying rollers B120. The first conveyor belt B110 extends from between two feeding conveying rollers B100 to between two transition conveying rollers B120. The first conveyor belt mechanism B11 is connected to a first lifting power source that drives the first conveyor belt mechanism B11 to move up and down. When the carton enters the feeding transverse conveyor mechanism B10, the first lifting power source drives the first conveyor belt mechanism B11 to rise, so that the first conveyor belt B110 lifts the carton. At the same time, the first conveyor belt B110 transports the carton above the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12. Then, the first lifting power source drives the first conveyor belt mechanism B11 to fall, so that the carton is placed on the transition conveyor roller B120 of the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12. The transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12 transports the carton forward through its transition conveyor roller B120.

[0038] The transition transverse conveyor B12 is connected to the discharge longitudinal conveyor B14, meaning that cartons on the transition transverse conveyor B12 can be conveyed to the discharge longitudinal conveyor B14. There are several ways cartons can be conveyed from the transition transverse conveyor B12 to the discharge longitudinal conveyor B14, and these methods are the same as those from the infeed transverse conveyor B10 to the transition transverse conveyor B12, so they will not be described again here.

[0039] For the same reason, the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12 and the discharge longitudinal conveyor mechanism B14 are connected by a second conveyor belt mechanism B13. The second conveyor belt mechanism B13 includes a second conveyor belt B130, and the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12 includes multiple transition conveyor rollers B120. The second conveyor belt B130 is located between two transition conveyor rollers B120. The second conveyor belt mechanism B13 is connected to a second lifting power source that drives the second conveyor belt mechanism B13 to move up and down. When the carton enters the end of the transition transverse conveyor mechanism B12, the second lifting power source drives the second conveyor belt mechanism B13 to rise, thus lifting the carton. At the same time, the second conveyor belt B130 transports the carton to the front end of the discharge longitudinal conveyor mechanism B14. Then, the second lifting power source drives the second conveyor belt mechanism B13 to descend, so that the carton is placed on the discharge longitudinal conveyor mechanism B14, which then transports the carton longitudinally.

[0040] like Figure 6As shown, the carton conveying device A1 of the carton opening and sealing machine A includes two synchronous conveying units A11, one on the left and one on the right. A gap is formed between the two synchronous conveying units A11 to accommodate cartons C. A supporting base plate A12 is provided between the two synchronous conveying units A11. Each synchronous conveying unit A11 includes a conveyor belt mechanism A110, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the conveyor belt mechanism A110 includes a conveyor belt A1100, and a plurality of pusher blocks A1101 are equally distributed along the length of the conveyor belt A1100.

[0041] Its conveying principle is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, when carton C enters between the two synchronous conveying units A11, the support base plate A12 supports carton C from the bottom, while the conveyor belts A1100 of the two synchronous conveying units A11 rotate synchronously. The pusher block A1101 on the conveyor belt A1100 pushes carton C forward from the back. This conveying method has a reasonable structure. The pusher block A1101 can provide a stable pushing force to carton C, and by calculating the position of the pusher block A1101, the equipment control system can know the position of the carton. Therefore, it can control the precise action of the closing mechanism for closing the carton without the need for sensors, which greatly simplifies the equipment structure and reduces manufacturing costs. Even if the carton specifications change, there is no need to adjust the sensor position.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, the carton opening and sealing machine A includes a carton conveying device A2, and the conveying direction of the carton conveying device A2 is the same as that of the carton conveying device A1. A carton self-feeding conveying and arranging device A3 is provided between the carton conveying device A2 and the carton conveying device A1. Figure 8 As shown, this self-feeding and arranging cardboard box conveyor A3 includes a box pushing mechanism A32, an arranging platform A33, and a cardboard box material control mechanism A34. The arranging platform A33 is located on one side of the cardboard box conveyor A2. The box pushing mechanism A32 includes a pusher plate A320 and a pusher plate power source A322 that drives the pusher plate A320 to push the cardboard boxes D on the cardboard box conveyor A2 onto the arranging platform A33. Through the conveying of the cardboard box conveyor A2, the bundled cardboard boxes D arrive at the front. When the cardboard boxes accumulate to a certain quantity, the pusher plate power source A322 drives the pusher plate A320 to move, and the pusher plate A320 pushes a row of cardboard boxes from the cardboard box conveyor A2 onto the arranging platform A33. Through multiple such pushes, multiple rows of cardboard boxes are arranged on the arranging platform A33. Finally, a robotic arm grabs multiple rows of cardboard boxes D at once and places them into a carton.

[0043] Because the carton conveying device A2 provides uninterrupted transport, adjacent cartons will be tightly packed together. If the front row of cartons is pushed out directly, the last carton will encounter resistance with its neighbors, preventing proper separation. Therefore, to ensure the smooth pushing out of the front row of cartons, a carton control mechanism A34 is installed in the middle of the carton conveying device A2. This mechanism includes a left control plate A340 and a right control plate A341 for clamping cartons D. Above the front end of the carton conveying device A2, a carton limiting mechanism A35 is installed. This mechanism includes a front baffle A350 and a front baffle power source A351 for driving the front baffle A350 to move back and forth. During operation, the paper box conveyor A2 continuously conveys rows of bundled paper boxes D forward. The frontmost paper box then touches the front baffle A350. The left control plate A340 and the right control plate A341 of the paper box control mechanism A34 clamp the middle section of paper boxes. Even if the paper box conveyor A2 is still conveying, the clamped paper boxes and all the paper boxes behind them will not move forward. Then, the front baffle power source A351 of the paper box limiting mechanism A35 drives the front baffle A350 to move backward. This causes the front row of paper boxes to continue moving forward a certain distance under the conveying of the paper box conveyor A2. This separates the front row of paper boxes from the clamped paper boxes by a certain distance. Then, the pusher plate power source A322 of the pusher mechanism A32 drives the pusher plate A320 to move, pushing this separated row of paper boxes to the sorting platform A33. By repeating this process, multiple rows of cardboard boxes can be smoothly pushed onto the sorting platform A33, and finally, the robotic arm will grab and pack all the cardboard boxes at once.

[0044] Carton opening and sealing machine A includes a carton hopper A4, such as... Figure 9 As shown, this cardboard box hopper A4 is used to store flat cardboard boxes C. A stack of flat cardboard boxes C is placed in this hopper and then picked up one by one by a robotic arm. Figure 9 As shown, the carton hopper A4 includes a hopper frame A41, on which a material feeding frame A42 that can move back and forth is mounted. Figure 10 As shown, two opposing support plate assemblies A44 are installed on the feeding frame A42. Each support plate assembly A44 includes a support plate A440 and a support plate rotating shaft A442. The support plate rotating shaft A442 is rotatably mounted on the feeding frame A42. The support plate A440 is connected to the support plate rotating shaft A442. A connector A441 is connected to the support plate rotating shaft A442. One end of the connector A441 is connected to a tension spring A443, and the other end of the tension spring A443 is connected to the feeding frame A42. The tension spring A443 drives the support plate A440 to turn inward. Below the feeding frame A42, there is a feeding platform A45. The feeding platform A45 is connected to a feeding power source that drives the feeding platform A45 to move up and down.

[0045] When it is necessary to place the cardboard box, place cardboard box C on the material feeding frame A42, as follows. Figure 10 As shown, tension spring A443 pulls support plate A440 inward, thus placing carton C on both sides of support plate A440. Simultaneously, tension spring A443 pulls support plate A440, preventing it from rotating outward under the weight of the carton. When the cartons on the feeding platform A45 are used up, the support plate pivot A442 is rotated, causing support plate A440 to turn outward, allowing carton C to fall onto the feeding platform A45 below. The feeding platform A45 is driven by a feeding power source to move up and down. Each time the robotic arm picks up a carton, the feeding platform A45 rises by the thickness of one carton, thus keeping the robotic arm's suction point constant, allowing the cartons to be picked up one by one. With this structure, the operator only needs to pull out the feeding frame A42, place the carton on it, and then push it back in. When the cartons on the feeding platform A45 are used up, the operator controls the support plate shaft A442 to rotate, allowing the cartons to fall onto the feeding platform A45. The operation is very safe and convenient.

[0046] To buffer a larger number of cartons C, a carton buffering mechanism A43 is provided between the feeding frame A42 and the feeding platform A45, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the carton buffer mechanism A43 includes two side panels A430, one at the front and one at the back, and buffer plate assemblies are mounted on both side panels A430, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the buffer plate assembly includes a buffer plate A431, a buffer plate rotating shaft A432, and a buffer plate power source A433 that drives the buffer plate rotating shaft A432 to rotate. The buffer plate A431 is connected to the buffer plate rotating shaft A432. Driven by the buffer plate power source A433, the buffer plate A431 has a first state of entering between the left and right side baffles A430 and a second state of exiting between the left and right side baffles A430. The front and rear buffer plates A431 are arranged opposite to each other. If there are still cartons on the feeding platform A45, the cartons placed on the feeding frame A42 first fall onto the carton buffering mechanism A43, that is, the cartons fall onto the left and right buffer plates A431 for buffering. When there are no cartons on the feeding platform A45, the buffer plate power source A433 drives the buffer plate A431 to rotate, so that the cartons fall onto the feeding platform A45 below. Of course, the lowering of cartons on the carton buffer mechanism A43 can be manually controlled, or the action of the buffer plate power source A433 can be controlled by a sensor. It's worth mentioning that the carton buffer mechanism A43 can be multi-layered, meaning multiple buffer plate assemblies can be arranged along the vertical direction of the side panel A430. This allows the carton buffer mechanism A43 to be set higher, thus absorbing more cartons. As shown in the figure, the carton buffer mechanism A43 has two layers.

[0047] like Figure 12As shown, the carton opening and sealing machine A includes a carton opening device A5, which is used to open the carton C and feed it into the carton conveying device A1. This carton opening device A5 includes a carton lifting mechanism A51 and a side-supporting mechanism A52. The side-supporting mechanism A52 is located on one side of the carton lifting mechanism A51. The carton lifting mechanism A51 is used to lift the flat carton C, while the side-supporting mechanism A52 is used to support the carton from the side, so that the carton can be opened to form a three-dimensional structure to be closed.

[0048] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the case-lifting mechanism A51 includes a vacuum suction cup A511, a case-lifting arm A510, and a case-lifting power source A512 that drives the case-lifting arm A510 to rotate up and down around a pivot point. The vacuum suction cup A511 is mounted on the case-lifting arm A510. By driving the case-lifting arm A510 to rotate around the pivot point through the case-lifting power source A512, the vacuum suction cup A511 on the case-lifting arm A510 can pick up the flat cardboard box, and the cardboard box will gradually open up under the action of gravity.

[0049] During the lifting process, a force must also be applied to the side of the carton so that it forms a three-dimensional shape when fully lifted. Therefore, a side-support mechanism A52 is also provided on one side of the lifting mechanism A51. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the side support box mechanism A52 includes a side support plate A521, a column A520, and a side support box power source A522 that drives the column A520 to rotate left and right around a rotation point. The side support plate A521 is connected to the column A520. Driven by the side support box power source A522, the column A520 rotates left and right around the rotation point. In this way, the side support plate A521 on the column A520 acts on the side of the carton. When the carton is lifted, the side support plate A521 provides a supporting force to the carton from the side. Thus, when the carton C is fully lifted, the carton C can form a three-dimensional structure.

[0050] After cardboard box C is formed into a three-dimensional shape, it needs to be sent to the next workstation. Therefore, as follows... Figure 12 As shown, the present invention also mounts the box-lifting mechanism A51 and the side-supporting mechanism A52 on the box-feeding slide A53. The box-feeding slide A53 is slidably mounted on the machine base, and the box-feeding slide A53 is connected to the box-feeding power source A54 that drives the box-feeding slide A53 to slide. Driven by the box-feeding power source A54, the box-feeding slide A53 moves, carrying the box-lifting mechanism A51 and the side-supporting mechanism A52 together, thus feeding the carton C into the carton conveying device A1. Of course, a suction nozzle mechanism can be installed separately, allowing the box-lifting mechanism A51 to release the carton, and this suction nozzle mechanism to transport the carton to the carton conveying device A1, which is also acceptable.

[0051] like Figure 14As shown, after carton C is conveyed by carton conveyor A1, the four side flaps C1 on carton C need to be opened. For this purpose, a carton side flap opening device A8 is also provided above carton conveyor A1. This carton side flap opening device A8 opens the four side flaps A1 on top of carton C, and then a robotic arm picks up carton D and places it into carton C. Figure 14 As shown, this carton side flap opening device A8 includes a fixed base A80 and an opening rod A83 assembly, such as... Figure 15 As shown, the expansion rod A83 assembly includes an expansion rod A83, a small connecting rod A86, and a roller A87. The expansion rod A83 has a connecting rod portion A830 and an actuating rod portion A831, which are at an angle. The connecting rod portion A830 of the expansion rod A83 is rotatably mounted on the fixed base A80. The connecting rod portion A830 of the expansion rod A83 is connected to one end of the small connecting rod A86, and the roller A87 is connected to the other end of the small connecting rod A86. The roller A87 is located in the long slot A89 of the lifting block A88. The lifting block A88 is connected to the side cover opening power source A82 that drives the lifting block A88 to move up and down. The side cover opening power source A82 is mounted on the fixed base A80.

[0052] Its operating principle is as follows: Figure 15 As shown, the side cover opening power source A82 drives the lifting block A88 to rise and fall. The lifting block A88 then drives the small connecting rod A86 to rotate via the roller A87. The small connecting rod A86 in turn drives the opening rod A83 to rotate. Since the opening rod A83 has a connecting rod part A830 and an actuating rod part A831, and the connecting rod part A830 and the actuating rod part A831 have an included angle, the rotation of the connecting rod part A830 of the opening rod A83 allows the actuating rod part A831 of the opening rod A83 to move up and down. When the actuating rod part A831 of the opening rod A83 moves down, it can open the carton side cover C1; when the actuating rod part A831 of the opening rod A83 moves up, it no longer opens the carton side cover, so the carton side cover C1 can be closed.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, after the cardboard boxes are placed into the carton C, they still need to be separated into multiple layers of cardboard boxes D by a partition E. Therefore, the carton opening and sealing machine A includes a partition buffer hopper A9, such as... Figure 16 As shown, this partition buffer hopper A9 includes a hopper base A91, such as... Figure 17 As shown, the hopper base A91 is equipped with two rows of hopper railing mechanisms, one on the left and one on the right. Each row of hopper railing mechanisms includes two hopper railing components A92, one at the front and one at the back. Each hopper railing component A92 includes a hopper railing A920 and a material dragging plate A921 mounted on the hopper railing A920. Figure 17As shown, after a stack of partitions E enters the hopper, it rests on the four drag plates A921 of the four hopper assembly A92. To gradually lift the placed partitions E upwards, as follows... Figure 18 As shown, the present invention provides a partition lifting mechanism A93 between the front and rear bin components A920 of each row of bins. Figure 18 As shown, the partition lifting mechanism A93 includes a synchronous belt A930 and two synchronous pulleys. The synchronous belt A930 is wound around the synchronous pulleys, and a lifting plate A931 is provided on the synchronous belt A930. The synchronous pulleys are connected to a lifting power source that drives the synchronous pulleys to rotate. When the partition E is placed, the lifting power source drives the synchronous belt A930 to rotate, so the lifting plate A931 on the synchronous belt A930 lifts the partition E from the bottom. Each time the robot arm takes away a partition, the lifting plate A931 lifts the partition E up by the thickness of one partition. In this way, it is ensured that the uppermost partition in the hopper is always in the position to be picked up by the robot arm. This partition buffer hopper A9 with this structure, because the manual material feeding space is designed at the bottom of the hopper, effectively avoids the safety problems of personnel operation when the case packer is running and the robot arm is picking up partitions. At the same time, it solves the problem of wasted time caused by the downtime of the case packer when placing partitions, which is necessary to ensure the safety of the operators. Therefore, configuring this type of partitioned buffer hopper A9 can significantly increase the production efficiency of the equipment and ensure the reliability of the linkage between the upstream and downstream equipment and the packing machine.
