Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of blister packing machinery, specifically to a machine for blister pack packaging. Background Technology

[0002] The blister pack / pillow packaging machine is a three-in-one unit consisting of a blister packing machine, a pillow packing machine, and a cartoning machine. The blister packing machine forms and seals the blister packs (i.e., blister bags), the pillow packing machine inserts the blister packs into the packaging film to form pillow bags, and the cartoning machine boxes the pillow bags, thus achieving an integrated function of blister pack-pillow bag-boxing. In the blister pack packaging process, the existing conveyor belt system transports the foil-sealed blister packs from the previous stage to the buffer hopper in the subsequent pillow packing machine for pillow bag packaging, or to the buffer hopper in the subsequent cartoning machine for cardboard box packaging. However, in actual packaging production, the combined operation of the conveyor belt and buffer hopper makes it difficult to perfectly synchronize the production speeds of the previous and subsequent equipment. This leads to issues such as missing blister packs and multiple blister packs being rejected due to speed discrepancies, wasting packaging materials and significantly limiting the stability and efficiency of the integrated blister pack packaging production process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention innovatively provides an integrated machine for blister pillow packaging boxes with better synchronization and higher packaging efficiency.

[0004] This integrated blister and pillow packaging machine includes a blister packaging machine, a pillow packaging machine, and a cartoning machine. Its features include: a grid output device between the blister packaging machine and the pillow packaging machine, the grid output device being connected to the blister packaging machine; a grid input device arranged side-by-side on one side of the grid output device, the grid input device being connected to the pillow packaging machine; a blister board transfer device above the grid output device, the blister board transfer device including a robotic arm and a suction mechanism; the suction mechanism including a positioning support and one or more suction mold assemblies mounted on the positioning support; the suction mold assembly including a support connecting rod, a rotary power source, and multiple vacuum nozzles arranged in a row and rotatably mounted on the support connecting rod; and the rotary power source being connected to the multiple vacuum nozzles via a synchronous transmission assembly.

[0005] The synchronous transmission assembly includes a horizontal tie rod and a rotating connecting rod. One end of the rotating connecting rod is hinged to the horizontal tie rod, and the other end of the rotating connecting rod is connected to a vacuum nozzle. The rotational power source is connected to the horizontal tie rod or the rotating connecting rod via a transmission.

[0006] The rotational power source is a cylinder, which is hinged to the support connecting rod. The extension rod of the cylinder is hinged to the horizontal tie rod or the rotating connecting rod.

[0007] The positioning support is provided with three sets of suction molds, which are arranged in three rows. The middle suction mold set is connected to the positioning support, the inner suction mold set is connected to the inner adjustment support, and the outer suction mold set is connected to the outer adjustment support. The positioning support is connected to a guide post, and both the inner and outer adjustment supports can be slidably adjusted to rest on the guide post.

[0008] The end of the guide post is connected to a connecting block, and a positive and negative screw is rotatably connected to the connecting block. The positive thread section of the positive and negative screw is threadedly connected to the inner adjustment support, and the negative thread section of the positive and negative screw is threadedly connected to the outer adjustment support.

[0009] The robotic arm is a spider-like robotic arm.

[0010] The grid output device is equipped with grid input devices on both sides, and the two grid input devices are connected to the double-rail pillow-type packaging machine. Two blister pack transfer devices are provided above the grid output device. One blister pack transfer device transfers the blister packs on the grid output device to the grid input device on one side, and the other blister pack transfer device transfers the blister packs on the grid output device to the grid input device on the other side.

[0011] The grid input device includes a conveyor chain, a conveyor sprocket, a support strip, and a grid component. The grid component is hinged to the conveyor chain, and the conveyor chain is wound around the conveyor sprocket. The grid component includes grid strips and a counterweight. The center of gravity of the grid component is located on the counterweight. The support strip can support the counterweight of the grid component and make the grid strip stand up.

[0012] According to the present invention, an integrated machine for blister pillow packaging boxes is provided. Through the improvement of the linkage method, while ensuring high output production efficiency, it not only achieves the stability of the transfer during the production of blister packs, but also realizes the complete real-time synchronization of the integrated machine from the front process to the back process.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this blister pack and pillow packaging machine includes a blister packing machine 1, a pillow packing machine 5, and a cartoning machine 6. The blister packing machine 1 is used for forming and sealing blister packs, the pillow packing machine 5 is used for inserting blister packs into packaging film to form pillow bags, and the cartoning machine 6 cartons the pillow bags.

[0022] To solve the linkage problem between the blister packaging machine 1 and the pillow packaging machine 5 in the prior art, the present invention provides a grid output device 2 between the blister packaging machine 1 and the pillow packaging machine 5. The grid output device 2 is connected to the blister packaging machine 1 for conveying (i.e., the blister packaging machine 1 conveys the blister sheets to the grid output device 2). A grid input device 4 is provided side by side on one side of the grid output device 2. The grid input device 4 is connected to the pillow packaging machine 5 for conveying (i.e., the grid input device 4 conveys the blister sheets to the pillow packaging machine 5). A blister sheet transfer device 3 is provided above the grid output device 2.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, this blister pack transfer device 3 is used to transfer the blister packs on the grid output device 2 to the grid input device 4. During the transfer process, the blister packs are rotated 90°, so that the blister packs that are arranged longitudinally on the grid output device 2 become arranged laterally on the grid input device 4. Then, the blister packs are transported to the pillow packaging machine 5 through the grid input device 4 for pillow packaging (that is, the blister packs are placed inside the plastic packaging film).

[0024] like Figure 3This blister pack transfer device 3 includes a robotic arm 31 and a suction mechanism 32. The robotic arm 31 is a spider robotic arm 31 (of course, other types of robotic arms 31 can also be used). Figure 4 As shown, this suction mechanism 32 includes a positioning support 324 and one or more suction mold assemblies 320 (including one assembly) mounted on the positioning support 324. Each suction mold assembly 320 includes a support connecting rod 3200, a rotary power source 3205, and multiple vacuum nozzles 3204. The multiple vacuum nozzles 3204 are arranged in a row and rotatably mounted on the support connecting rod 3200. Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the rotary power source 3205 is connected to multiple vacuum nozzles 3204 via a synchronous transmission assembly (that is, the rotary power source 3205 drives multiple vacuum nozzles 3204 to rotate synchronously through the transmission of the synchronous transmission assembly).

[0025] The working principle of this blister pack transfer device 3 is as follows: The robotic arm 31 synchronously follows the blister packs on the grid output device 2 below. After the suction mechanism 32 picks up the blister packs from the grid output device 2, the robotic arm 31 moves above the grid input device 4. While synchronously following the grid input device 4, the rotary power source 3205 drives multiple vacuum nozzles 3204 to rotate synchronously, so that a row of blister packs rotates 90°, and then the blister packs are precisely placed onto the grid input device 4. Through the transfer of this blister pack transfer device 3, the speed of the blister packaging machine 1 can be matched with the speed of the pillow packaging machine 5, improving the stability of the linkage and thus achieving efficient linkage packaging production.

[0026] The synchronous transmission assembly can have various structures: for example, synchronous pulleys can be installed on the vacuum nozzles 3204, and a synchronous belt can be wound around these pulleys to drive the rotation of all the vacuum nozzles 3204 in a row; alternatively, gears can be installed on the vacuum nozzles 3204, and a rack can mesh with these gears to drive the rotation of all the vacuum nozzles 3204 in a row; a structure of horizontal tie rod 3201 and rotating connecting rod 3203 can also be used, such as... Figure 4 As shown, one end of the rotating connecting rod 3203 is hinged to the horizontal tie rod 3201, and the other end is connected to the vacuum nozzle 3204. The rotating power source 3205 is connected to the horizontal tie rod 3201 or the rotating connecting rod 3203 via a transmission connection. By driving the horizontal tie rod 3201 or the rotating connecting rod 3203 to rotate through the rotating power source 3205, all the vacuum nozzles 3204 in a row will rotate accordingly. This synchronous transmission assembly structure is simpler, the transmission is more stable, the service life is longer, and the manufacturing cost is lower.

[0027] like Figure 5As shown, the rotary power source 3205 is a cylinder, which is hinged to the support connecting rod 3200. The extension rod of the cylinder is hinged to the horizontal tie rod 3201 or the rotating connecting rod 3203. Of course, the rotary power source 3205 can be a motor, as long as it drives the horizontal tie rod 3201 or the rotating connecting rod 3203 to rotate.

[0028] Both the existing blister packaging machine 1 and pillow packaging machine 5 are very fast; the blister packs coming out of the blister packaging machine 1 can reach three rows, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in order to match the rapid conveying linkage and simultaneously pick up three rows of bubble wrap plates, this invention provides three sets of suction mold groups 320 on the positioning support 324, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, three sets of suction molds 320 are arranged in three rows. These three sets of suction molds 320 can simultaneously suction three rows of blister packs and place them sequentially onto the grid input device 4. Since the blister packs vary in size, to accommodate the transfer of blister packs of different sizes, the middle suction mold set 320 is connected to the positioning support 324, the inner suction mold set 320 is connected to the adjusting inner support 322, and the outer suction mold set 320 is connected to the adjusting outer support 321. A guide post 323 is connected to the positioning support 324. Both the adjusting inner support 322 and the adjusting outer support 321 can be slidably adjusted onto the guide post 323. Adjustment is achieved simply by sliding the adjusting inner support 322 and the adjusting outer support 321.

[0029] For easy adjustment, a connecting block 325 is connected to the end of the guide post 323, and a forward and reverse screw 326 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 325. The forward threaded section of the forward and reverse screw 326 is threadedly connected to the inner adjusting support 322, and the reverse threaded section of the forward and reverse screw 326 is threadedly connected to the outer adjusting support 321. During adjustment, simply rotating the forward and reverse screw 326 will allow the inner adjusting support 322 and the outer adjusting support 321 to move relative to each other, thereby changing the distance between adjacent sets of suction molds 320 to accommodate the transfer of blister packs of different sizes.

[0030] To prevent interference between the grid input device 4 and the pillow packaging machine 5, such as Figure 6As shown, the grid input device 4 adopts a chain structure, specifically including a conveyor chain 41, a conveyor sprocket 43, a support strip 42, and a grid member 40. The grid member 40 is hinged to the conveyor chain 41, and the conveyor chain 41 is wound around the conveyor sprocket 43. The grid member 40 includes grid strips 401 and a counterweight 402. The center of gravity of the grid member 40 is located on the counterweight 402. The support strip 42 can support the counterweight 402 of the grid member 40 and make the grid strips 401 stand up. When the grid member 40 is at the top, the support strip 42 supports the counterweight 402 of the grid member 40, so the grid strips 401 of the grid member 40 are upright and play a separating role. When the grid member 40 moves down, since the support strip 42 no longer supports the counterweight 402 of the grid member 40, and the center of gravity of the grid member 40 is on the counterweight 402, the counterweight 402 of the grid member 40 causes the grid strips 401 of the grid member 40 to rotate inward, so the grid member 40 will not interfere with the pillow packaging machine 5.

[0031] Finally, it's worth mentioning that, in order to achieve the linkage between the high-speed blister packaging machine 10 and the double-rail pillow packaging machine 50, such as... Figure 7 As shown, grid input devices 4 are arranged side-by-side on both sides of the grid output device 2. The two grid input devices 4 are connected to the double-rail pillow-type packaging machine 50 for conveying. Two blister pack conveying devices 3 are located above the grid output device 2. One blister pack conveying device 3 moves the blister packs from the grid output device 2 to one of the grid input devices 4, and the other moves the blister packs from the grid output device 2 to the other grid input device 4. In this way, the linkage requirements between the high-speed blister packaging machine 10 and the double-rail pillow-type packaging machine 50 can be met, thereby maximizing the equipment's production efficiency.
