When the glass bottle clamping device 61 is transported along the horizontal ring rail 62, the lifting guide 6125 rises and falls along with the lifting guide rail 63, so that the glass bottle clamping device 61 drives the glass bottle to rise or fall.

[0045] The glass bottle clamping device 61 includes a mounting seat 611, a movable bracket 612 and a clamping claw 613. The mounting seat 611 includes a vertical plate 6111 and a track slider 6112 mounted on the vertical plate 6111.

The spring stopper can be a structure such as a screw or a fixing ring. In addition, an arc groove is arranged on the inner side of the first clamping part 61312 and the second clamping part 61323 to adapt to the shape of the mouth of the glass bottle.

[0049] The lifting ring rail 32 is provided with an ascending section 631, a first horizontal section 632, a descending section 633 and a second horizontal section 634 which are connected in sequence end to end.

At this time, the second clamping jaw 342 is in a low position; when the sliding member 3441 moves to the lifting portion 322, due to the guiding effect of the lifting portion 322, the second clamping jaw 342 is in a low position. The claw 342 rises to gradually separate the upper cover from the bottom box 101; when the sliding member 3441 moves to the box opening portion 323, the second clamping claw 342 is in a high position to separate the upper cover from the bottom box 101, and a glass bottle can be placed in this position; when the sliding member 3441 moves to the descending portion 324, the second clamping claw 342 descends, and the upper cover and the bottom box 101 gradually approach each other; when the sliding member 3441 moves to the box closing portion 321, the upper cover and the bottom box 101 merge to complete the packaging. The box body clamping mechanism 34 is opened and closed by means of the lifting ring rail 32 in cooperation with the sliding member 3441, which has high packaging efficiency, simple structure, no need to install a cylinder, and can reduce equipment costs.

[0058] In this embodiment, the box loading mechanism 3 is provided with an upper opening and clamping guide rail 33 and a lower opening and clamping guide rail 36 at the upper and lower sides of the bottle feeding station, respectively, and the first clamping jaw 341 and the second clamping jaw 342 are both cam opening and closing clamping jaws. Fig.13 As shown, when the box loading mechanism 3 moves to the bottle feeding station, the upper opening and clamping guide rail 33 drives the second clamping jaw 342 to open, and the lower opening and clamping guide rail 36 drives the first clamping jaw 341 to open. When the box loading mechanism 3 leaves the bottle feeding station, the second clamping jaw 342 and the first clamping jaw 341 are closed to clamp the upper cover 102 and the bottom box 101 respectively. Setting the cam opening and closing clamping jaw 613 can save equipment cost and occupied volume. Of course, in other embodiments, the first clamping jaw 341 and the second clamping jaw 342 can be selected to use clamp cylinders or other structures. Fig.14When the box loading mechanism 3 moves to the bottle feeding station, the sliding member 3441 moves the box portion 323 away, and the second clamping claw 342 is in a high position so that the upper cover 102 is separated from the bottom box 101. At this time, the glass bottle transfer mechanism 6 places the glass bottle into the bottom box 101.

[0059] Furthermore, the box loading mechanism 3 further includes a box pushing guide rail 35, which is provided with a pushing portion 351 that is recessed toward the box discharging station. The box body clamping mechanism 34 includes a pushing rod 347 that is movably mounted on the inner side of the fixing plate 343, and a sliding bearing 3471 that matches the box pushing guide rail 35 is provided at the end of the pushing rod 347. Fig.15 When the box body clamping mechanism 34 moves to the box discharging station, the sliding bearing at the end of the push rod moves to the pushing portion 351 of the box pushing guide rail 35, and the push rod pushes the packaging box 100 to the discharging mechanism 7 to complete the bottle discharging operation.

[0060] The working mode of this wine bottle automatic cartoning machine is as follows:

[0061] 1. The box feeding mechanism, bottle feeding mechanism, box loading mechanism 3 and discharging mechanism 7 operate synchronously. Figure 2 For example, the glass bottle clamping device 61 of the glass bottle transport mechanism 6 moves in a clockwise direction, and the box body clamping mechanism 34 of the box loading mechanism 3 moves in a counterclockwise direction;

[0062] 2. If Fig.13 When the box body clamping mechanism 34 moves to the box feeding station, the upper clamping guide rail 33 opens the second clamping jaw 342, and the lower clamping guide rail 36 opens the first clamping jaw 341. At the same time, when the guide mechanism of the propulsion device 13 synchronized with the box body clamping mechanism moves to the arc-shaped propulsion portion 112, the guide mechanism deviates, and the push rod pushes the packaging box 100 between the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw;

[0063] 3. When the box body clamping mechanism 34 is separated from the upper clamping guide rail and the lower clamping guide rail 36, the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw are closed to clamp the bottom box 101 and the upper cover 102 of the packaging box 100 respectively;

[0064] 4. When the box body clamping mechanism 343 reaches the lifting portion 322, the second clamping claw 342 gradually rises so that the upper cover 102 and the bottom box 101 are gradually separated;

[0065] 5. If Fig.14 , the box body clamping mechanism 343 moves to the bottle feeding station, and the corresponding glass bottle clamping device 61 on the glass bottle transfer mechanism 6 places the glass bottle into the bottom box 101;

[0066] 6. The box body clamping mechanism 343 continues to operate, and its sliding member moves to the descending portion, and the second clamping claw 342 drives the upper cover 102 to gradually descend until the upper cover 102 and the bottom box 101 are merged;

[0067] 7. If Fig.15 When the box body clamping mechanism 343 moves to the box discharging station, the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw are opened, and at the same time the sliding bearing moves to the pushing portion 351 of the box pushing guide rail 35, and the pushing rod pushes the packaging box 100 to the discharging mechanism 7, and then outputs it through the discharging mechanism.
