Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of packaging machinery, and particularly relates to a Tetra Brick packing system. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the packaging machinery for Tetra Bricks mainly uses wrapping machines, and some also use gift box packaging machines. Both of these packaging methods have relatively high requirements for packaging materials, and the cost of packaging materials is correspondingly high. In order to reduce the cost of packaging materials, the packaging materials can be adjusted to ordinary corrugated cardboard boxes. However, currently, Tetra Bricks are mainly manually placed into the cardboard boxes. Since Tetra Bricks are relatively heavy, especially the 1L Tetra Bricks, the labor intensity of workers is high, and the packing efficiency is not high. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0034] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation manners.

[0035] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may include direct contact between the first and second features, or may include non-direct contact between the first and second features but through other features therebetween. Moreover, the first feature being "on" the second feature includes the first feature being directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicating that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicating that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0036] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, a Tetra Brick boxing system in an embodiment includes an incoming package conveyor belt 1, a package pushing mechanism 2, a lane-dividing conveyor belt 3, a package arranging mechanism 4, a boxing mechanism 5, and a carton conveyor belt 6. The package pushing mechanism 2 is arranged at one end of the incoming package conveyor belt 1. The package pushing mechanism 2 is used to convey a plurality of Tetra Bricks 100 on the incoming package conveyor belt 1 to the lane-dividing conveyor belt 3. The package arranging mechanism 4 is connected to the end of the lane-dividing conveyor belt 3 far from the package pushing mechanism 2. The package arranging mechanism 4 is used to arrange the Tetra Bricks 100. The boxing mechanism 5 is used to transfer the Tetra Bricks 100 on the package arranging mechanism 4 into a carton (not shown in the figure) on the carton conveyor belt 6.

[0038] The pushing mechanism 2 and the diverting conveyor belt 3 of the Tetra Brik cartoning system in this embodiment enable the Tetra Brik 100 to be conveyed orderly. The carton arranging mechanism 4 arranges the Tetra Brik 100 to facilitate the grasping by the cartoning mechanism 5. The cartoning mechanism 5 operates back and forth between the carton arranging mechanism 4 and the carton conveyor belt 6, so that the Tetra Brik 100 is placed into the carton on the carton conveyor belt 6 in a regular form. The Tetra Brik cartoning system in this embodiment can automatically package the Tetra Brik 100 using low-cost cartons, with high packaging efficiency and labor cost savings. To achieve the uninterrupted supply of cartons, the Tetra Brik cartoning system in this embodiment further includes a carton feeding mechanism 7, and the carton feeding mechanism 7 is connected to one end of the carton conveyor belt 6.

[0039] As Figure 2 shown, preferably, the pushing mechanism 2 includes a pushing component 21, a first limiting component 22, and a first baffle component 23. The first baffle component 23 is located on the upstream side of the pushing component 21, and the first limiting component 22 is located on the downstream side of the pushing component 21. The first limiting component 22 is used to prevent the Tetra Brik 100 from moving with the incoming package conveyor belt 1 and limit the Tetra Brik 100. The first limiting component 22 includes a first limiting cylinder 221 and a first limiting plate 222. The first baffle component 23 includes a first baffle cylinder 231 and a first baffle plate 232. The first baffle component 23 is used to block the conveyance of the Tetra Brik 100 to control the number of Tetra Brik 100 between the first limiting component 22 and the first baffle component 23. The pushing component 21 is used to push the Tetra Brik 100 between the first limiting component 22 and the first baffle component 23 onto the diverting conveyor belt 3. To achieve the orderly conveyance of the Tetra Brik 100 and facilitate the rapid arrangement of the Tetra Brik 100 by the carton arranging mechanism 4, the number of Tetra Brik 100 pushed into the diverting conveyor belt 3 by the pushing component 21 each time needs to be kept at a fixed value. Therefore, the first baffle component 23 needs to be set, and the first limiting component 22 makes a specific number of Tetra Brik 100 in a preset position each time before being pushed by the pushing component 21, ensuring that the Tetra Brik 100 enters the diverting conveyor belt 3 orderly. The Tetra Brik 100 on the diverting conveyor belt 3 is conveyed in a single row to prevent the conveyance posture of the Tetra Brik 100 from changing due to mutual collision between the Tetra Brik 100. The number of Tetra Brik 100 pushed into the diverting conveyor belt 3 by the pushing component 21 at a time is equal to the number of conveying channels on the diverting conveyor belt 3, and this number is not less than two.

[0040] Further, the brick pushing component 21 includes a brick pushing cylinder 211 and a brick pushing plate 212 connected to the brick pushing cylinder 211. The surface of the brick pushing plate 212 facing the lane conveyor belt 3 is convex in a V shape. The lane conveyor belt 3 includes three ball guards 31 and two brick sucking components 32. The ball guards 31 are parallel to each other, and the ball guards 31 form four columns of channels on the lane conveyor belt 3 for single-column conveying of Tetra Pak bricks 100. The two brick sucking components 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the inlet end of the lane conveyor belt 3. The brick sucking component 32 is used to move the Tetra Pak bricks 100 to the outer channels. The surface of the brick pushing plate 212 facing the lane conveyor belt 3 is convex in a V shape, which can separate the four originally adjacent Tetra Pak bricks 100 during the pushing process. In particular, the two middle Tetra Pak bricks 100 will be significantly separated. The brick sucking component 32 includes a brick sucking cylinder 321 and a suction head 322. The brick sucking component 32 can move the two outer Tetra Pak bricks 100 among the four Tetra Pak bricks 100 to the outer channels, so that all the four originally adjacent Tetra Pak bricks 100 can smoothly enter their respective channels. The ball guards 31 can also effectively reduce the friction force suffered by the Tetra Pak bricks 100 during the conveying process, improve the conveying efficiency and reduce the probability of damage to the surface of the Tetra Pak bricks 100.

[0041] Furthermore, the lane conveyor belt 3 of this embodiment further includes a guiding block 33. The guiding block 33 is arranged at the end of the ball guard 31. The guiding block 33 is wedge-shaped and can make the Tetra Pak bricks 100 more easily enter their respective channels for conveying.

[0042] The length of the lane conveyor belt 3 is relatively long and can accommodate a relatively large number of Tetra Pak bricks 100. Since the packing mechanism 5 requires a certain amount of time for the packing operation, in order to improve the packing efficiency, during the operation of the packing mechanism 5, the lane conveyor belt 3 needs to timely supply a sufficient number of Tetra Pak bricks 100 to the unpacking mechanism 4 so that the packing mechanism 5 can continuously operate. This requires the lane conveyor belt 3 to be able to store a relatively large number of Tetra Pak bricks 100 to avoid the situation where the packing mechanism 5 needs to wait for the Tetra Pak bricks 100 to arrive.

[0043] Such as Figure 3As shown, preferably, the packing organization 4 includes a conveying mesh belt 41, a second baffle component 42, a second limiting component 43, and two pressing components 44. The second baffle component 42 and the second limiting component 43 are respectively located at both ends of the conveying mesh belt 41. The two pressing components 44 are arranged on both sides of the conveying mesh belt 41. The second baffle component 42 is used to prevent the Tetra Pak bricks 100 on the diverging conveyor belt 3 from moving towards the conveying mesh belt 41. The second limiting component 43 is used to prevent the Tetra Pak bricks 100 from moving with the conveying mesh belt 41 and limit the Tetra Pak bricks 100. The pressing component 44 includes a pressing cylinder 441 and a pressing plate 442 arranged on the pressing cylinder 441. The two pressing plates 442 are arranged oppositely and can approach and move away from each other to sort the Tetra Pak bricks 100 on the conveying mesh belt 41. The second limiting component 43 and the two pressing components 44 can sort the Tetra Pak bricks 100 on the conveying mesh belt 41 into a regular shape, so that the Tetra Pak bricks 100 can be smoothly loaded into the carton. The second baffle component 42 can block the subsequent Tetra Pak bricks 100 from being input from the diverging conveyor belt 3 when the number of Tetra Pak bricks 100 on the conveying mesh belt 41 reaches a predetermined value, avoiding the sorted Tetra Pak bricks 100 from being subjected to a large extrusion force.

[0044] The pressing component 44 of this embodiment further includes two guiding seats 443 and two guiding rods 444. The pressing cylinder 441 is connected to the middle of the pressing plate 442. The guiding seats 443 and the guiding rods 444 are connected to both sides of the pressing plate 442, which can improve the stability of the pressing plate 442 during the movement process.

[0045] In this embodiment, a counting component 45 is further arranged above the conveying mesh belt 41. The counting component 45 is electrically connected to the second baffle component 42, enabling the second baffle component 42 to accurately intercept the Tetra Pak bricks 100.

[0046] Furthermore, the packing organization 4 further includes a partition plate 46. The partition plate 46 is perpendicular to the conveying mesh belt 41 and is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying mesh belt 41. The partition plate 46 divides the conveying mesh belt 41 into two equal parts. The shape of the Tetra Pak bricks 100 is not a strictly rectangular cuboid, and it will deform to a certain extent after extrusion. Setting the partition plate 46 can provide a firm and flat supporting surface for the Tetra Pak bricks 100, making the Tetra Pak bricks 100 sorted into a more regular shape. In addition, since the pressing plate 442 will exert extrusion on the Tetra Pak bricks 100, causing slight deformation of the Tetra Pak bricks 100, the partition plate 46 has a certain thickness. When the Tetra Pak bricks 100 are grabbed by the packing mechanism 5, the Tetra Pak bricks 100 can use the gap generated by the partition plate 46 to restore their shape, and the stress generated by the deformation of the Tetra Pak bricks 100 can be released.

[0047] Preferably, as Figures 4 to 7As shown in the figure, the cartoning mechanism 5 includes a robot 51, a suction cup fixture 52 and a base 53. The suction cup fixture 52 includes a top frame assembly 521, three hanging frame assemblies 522 and three suction cup assemblies 523. The suction cup assemblies 523 are suspended on the hanging frame assemblies 522, the hanging frame assemblies 522 are arranged on the top frame assembly 521, and the robot 51 is connected to the top of the top frame assembly 521. The number of the hanging frame assemblies 522 and the suction cup assemblies 523 is determined according to the sizes of the bag arranging mechanism 4 and the carton conveyor belt 6. The cartoning mechanism 5 of this embodiment can simultaneously perform the cartoning operation of three Tetra Pak bricks 100, and the robot 51 can perform precise and uninterrupted movements, so it has a high cartoning efficiency.

[0048] As Figure 8 shown in the figure, further, the top frame assembly 521 includes two movable mounting seats 5211 and a fixed mounting seat 5212. The two movable mounting seats 5211 are arranged on both sides of the fixed mounting seat 5212. The movable mounting seat 5211 includes a guide rail 52111, a slider 52112 and a driving device 52113. The slider 52112 is arranged on the guide rail 52111. The hanging frame assembly 522 is fixedly connected to the slider 52112. The driving device 52113 is also connected to the hanging frame assembly 522 and can drive the hanging frame assembly 522 to move. The driving device 52113 can use a cylinder as the power source. Since the Tetra Pak bricks 100 are arranged relatively closely on the bag arranging mechanism 4, there is a certain interval between the accommodating cavities of the cartons on the carton conveyor belt 6, and this interval is mainly caused by the thickness of the cartons. Therefore, in order to enable multiple groups of Tetra Pak bricks 100 to perform the cartoning operation simultaneously, there needs to be a certain interval between the suction cup assemblies 523. The driving device 52113 can create a certain gap between the hanging frame assemblies 522, so that there is also a certain gap between the suction cup assemblies 523 suspended under the hanging frame assemblies 522.

[0049] As Figures 9 to 11As shown in the figure, the hanger assembly 522 includes two hanging plates 5221, two connecting plates 5222, two first connecting rods 5223, two second connecting rods 5224, four torsion springs 5225 and four fixing seats 5226. The two connecting plates 5222 are arranged in parallel. The two hanging plates 5221 are both fixed on the top of the connecting plates 5222 and are spaced apart. The two ends of the two first connecting rods 5223 respectively penetrate through one connecting plate 5222. The two second connecting rods 5224 are arranged between the two connecting plates 5222. The second connecting rods 5224 and the first connecting rods 5223 are both perpendicular to the connecting plates 5222. The two second connecting rods 5224 are arranged between the two first connecting rods 5223. The fixing seats 5226 are arranged on the connecting plates 5222 and are located between the two connecting plates 5222. The torsion springs 5225 are sleeved on the fixing seats 5226. One end of the torsion spring 5225 abuts against the outer wall of one end of one first connecting rod 5223, and the other end of the torsion spring 5225 abuts against the outer wall of one second connecting rod 5224. When the suction tool assembly 523 is subjected to an abnormal upward acting force during operation, the acting force will be transmitted to the first connecting rod 5223 and cause the first connecting rod 5223 to have a tendency to move upward, generating a certain pressure on the torsion spring 5225, playing a certain role in relieving force and buffering, and avoiding damage to the suction cup fixture 52.

[0050] Further, the suction cup fixture 52 in one embodiment further includes a photoelectric sensor (not shown in the figure). The photoelectric sensor can detect the displacements generated by the first connecting rod 5223 and the suction tool assembly 523, and can send signals in time to make the packing mechanism 5 stop immediately, avoiding damage to the equipment.

[0051] As Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown in the figure, the suction tool assembly 523 includes two hanging plates 5231, two cross beams 5232 and a plurality of suction cup modules 5233. The two cross beams 5232 are arranged in parallel. The suction cup modules 5233 are connected to the bottom of the cross beams 5232. The hanging plates 5231 are arranged on the top of the cross beams 5232. A notch groove 52311 is formed on the hanging plates 5231 to form a hook-like structure. The end of the first connecting rod 5223 passes through the notch groove 52311. The shape of the notch groove 52311 is L-shaped, and its inner wall is smooth, which can make the hanging plate 5231 stably hang on the first connecting rod 5223, and the loading and unloading between the suction tool assembly 523 and the hanger assembly 522 is also very convenient.
