[0062] Connecting blocks are respectively installed on the outer sides of the links of the first endless chain A2 and the second endless chain A3, and the connecting blocks are evenly distributed; a support rod A7 is fixed on each connecting block, and the support rod A7 is arranged outward; the support rods A7 on the first endless chain A2 and the second endless chain A3 are arranged in pairs. A packing box is arranged on every two oppositely arranged support rods A7; the support rods A7 arranged on the first endless chain A2 and the second endless chain A3 move synchronously with the first endless chain A2 and the second endless chain A3, thereby realizing the transfer of the packing box.
[0063] The baffle mechanism A8 is arranged above one side of the base A1, on this side the first endless chain A2 and the second endless chain A3 descend, and the baffle mechanism A8 is used to prevent the packing box from spilling when changing from the ascending process to the descending process. The pushing mechanism A9 is arranged below the baffle mechanism A8, and the pushing mechanism A9 is fixed on the base A1; the placing table A10 is arranged outside the pushing mechanism A9, the placing table A10 is fixedly connected to the base A1, and the pushing mechanism A9 is used to push the packing box placed on the support rod A7 onto the placing table A10.
[0064] As Figure 2, the first sprocket wheel set A4 includes: a first left sprocket wheel, a first transmission shaft, and a first right sprocket wheel. One end of the first rotating shaft passes through the first vertical plate A11, and the other end passes through the second vertical plate A12; the first left sprocket wheel and the first right sprocket wheel are installed on the first rotating shaft. One end of the first endless chain A2 is installed on the first left sprocket wheel; one end of the second endless chain A3 is installed on the first right sprocket wheel.

[0065] As Figure 2 , the baffle mechanism A8 includes: a mounting beam A82 and a baffle A81. The baffle A81 is arranged outside the support rod A7; the baffle A81 is perpendicular to the support rod A7; the baffle A81 is fixed on the mounting beam A82. During the turning process of the packaging box, the baffle A81 limits the packaging box to prevent the packaging box from detaching from the support rod A7.
[0066] Furthermore, as Figure 2 , the pushing mechanism A9 includes: a cylinder and a push plate. The cylinder is fixed on the base A1; the push plate is arranged in a 90° bent structure; the movable end of the cylinder is connected to the push plate; the push plate is located between the support rods A7 on the first endless chain A2 and the support rods A7 on the second endless chain A3; the push plate is arranged opposite to the placing table A10.

[0068] As Figure 2, the working process of the box storage device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: First, place the packaging boxes on the support rods A7 of each layer respectively; the box storage device moves automatically. When the sensor on the placement table A10 detects that there is no packaging box, control the first circulating chain A2 and the second circulating chain A3 to run one step length, and convey the next packaging box to the outside of the pushing mechanism A9. The pushing mechanism A9 pushes the current packaging box to the placement table A10, and moves the packaging box to the pushing, box loading and flipping integrated device C through the vacuum adsorption mechanism; at this time, the sensor on the placement table A10 detects that there is no packaging box, and repeats the above actions.
[0069] Such as Figure 3, the sorting and counting device mainly includes: mounting bracket B1, first reduction motor B3, first centrifugal disk B2, guiding component B4, sorting component B5, second reduction motor B7, second centrifugal disk B6, third reduction motor B9, dial B8, belt conveyor B10 and counter B11. The first reduction motor B3 is fixed on the mounting bracket B1. The first centrifugal disk B2 is horizontally arranged above the mounting bracket B1. The output end of the first reduction motor B3 is connected to the first centrifugal disk B2, and the first reduction motor B3 is used to drive the first centrifugal disk B2 to rotate. The guiding component B4 is fixed on the mounting bracket B1. The guiding component B4 sorts the glass bottles on the first centrifugal disk B2 into one or more columns during the rotation following the first centrifugal disk B2. The sorting component B5 is fixed on the mounting bracket B1. The sorting component B5 is arranged above the first centrifugal disk B2. The sorting component B5 is an arc-shaped component with a thin front end and a thick rear end. The sorting component B5 is used to separate the glass bottles into one column and then convey them to the second centrifugal disk B6. The second reduction motor B7 is fixed on the mounting bracket B1. The second centrifugal disk B6 is horizontally arranged above the mounting bracket B1. The second centrifugal disk B6 is arranged adjacent to the first centrifugal disk B2. The output end of the second reduction motor B7 is connected to the second centrifugal disk B6, and the second reduction motor B7 is used to drive the second centrifugal disk B6 to rotate. The second centrifugal disk B6 is a transition buffer area between the first centrifugal disk B2 and the dial B8. The third reduction motor B9 is fixed on the mounting bracket B1. The dial B8 is horizontally arranged above the mounting bracket B1. The dial B8 is arranged adjacent to the second centrifugal disk B6. A plurality of grooves matching with the bottle-shaped containers are evenly arranged on the outer edge of the dial B8. The dial B8 is used to sort the distance between adjacent two glass bottles into the same value. The belt conveyor B10 is arranged adjacent to the dial B8. The counter B11 is arranged on the belt conveyor B10. The counter B11 is arranged opposite to the dial B8. The first sensor B11 is arranged on the front side of the belt conveyor B10. The second sensor B12 is arranged on the rear side of the belt conveyor B10. The glass bottles sent out by the dial B8 are conveyed to the belt conveyor B10 and counted by the counter B11. During the forward conveyance of the glass bottles, the first sensor B11 first detects the glass bottle at the head. After a certain number of glass bottles are reached, the belt conveyor B10 conveys this batch of glass bottles forward. When the second sensor B12 detects this batch of glass bottles, the belt conveyor B10 is controlled to stop. At this time, this batch of glass bottles is exactly in the pushing area, which is convenient for the pushing mechanism to push them forward. The air cylinder B14 is arranged on the rear side of the belt conveyor B10. Since the glass bottles need to be placed as compactly as possible during the box loading process, the front and rear rows of glass bottles need to be arranged alternately in the box loading area. For example, 13 glass bottles are placed in the front row and 12 glass bottles are placed in the rear row. By setting the air cylinder B14, when the air cylinder B14 pushes forward a certain distance, exactly 12 glass bottles are placed. When the air cylinder resets, exactly 12 glass bottles are placed.
[0070] The guiding component B4 includes: a first upright post, a connecting rod, a second upright post, and a guiding portion. One end of the first upright post is fixed to the mounting bracket B1, the other end of the first upright post is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the guiding portion. The guiding portion is disposed above the first centrifugal disc B2; a curved surface structure is provided on the outer edge of the guiding portion for arranging the glass bottles into one or more columns in an arc distribution.
[0071] To prevent the movement track of the glass bottles from shifting during transportation, a first guiding channel and a second guiding channel are further provided in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The first guiding channel is fixed to the dividing component B5, the first guiding channel is located above the first centrifugal disc B2, and the glass bottles are transported to the second centrifugal disc B6 through the inner side of the first guiding channel. The second guiding channel is fixed to the mounting bracket B1, the second guiding channel is located above the second centrifugal disc B6, and the glass bottles are transported to the inner side of the second guiding channel through the inner side of the first guiding channel.
[0072] The working process of the sorting and counting device is as follows: A plurality of glass bottles are placed on the first centrifugal disc B2. During the rotation of the glass bottles above the first centrifugal disc B2 following the first centrifugal disc B2, first, the guiding component B4 arranges the movement tracks of the glass bottles so that the glass bottles are distributed in one or more columns; then, the dividing component B5 divides the glass bottles into one column and transports them to the second centrifugal disc B6 under the action of centrifugal force. The glass bottles on the second centrifugal disc B6 are transported to the dial B8 under the action of centrifugal force. The distance between two adjacent glass bottles is arranged into the same value by the dial B8, and then transported to the belt conveyor B10. After being counted by the counter B11 on the belt conveyor B10, they are neatly arranged on the belt conveyor B10, which facilitates other pushing mechanisms to push a row of glass bottles on the belt conveyor B10 to a designated position as a whole, facilitating subsequent boxing; the automatic sorting and counting of the glass bottles are achieved.

In this embodiment, the pushing unit C1 adopts a transmission structure composed of a motor and a screw. The packaging box pick-up and placement unit C2 is set on one side of the boxing platform C6, and is used to obtain the packaging box from the packaging box feeding device and flip the packaging box upside down on the neatly arranged glass bottles on the boxing platform C6. The gripping unit C3 is mounted on the flipping unit C4 and is used to pick up the glass bottle packaging boxes on the cartoning platform C6. In this embodiment, the gripping unit C3 uses pneumatic or electric fingers. The flipping unit C4 is used to flip the glass bottle packaging boxes and place them on the continuous packaging box stacking device D.
[0074] For details, see Figure 5 The packaging box pick-and-place unit C2 includes a biaxial motion mechanism C21, a first mounting plate C22, and vacuum suction cups C23.

The vacuum suction cups C23 are generally arranged symmetrically to ensure uniform force when picking up the packaging box. The action process of the packaging box picking and placing unit C2 is as follows: the controller controls the biaxial motion mechanism C21 to move forward horizontally, and moves the vacuum suction cup C23 to the top of the packaging box feeding device. The controller controls the biaxial motion mechanism C21 to move downward longitudinally, and the vacuum suction cup C23 adsorbs the packaging box; the controller further controls the biaxial motion mechanism C21 to move upward longitudinally, and the vacuum suction cup C23 drives the packaging box to move upward synchronously; the controller controls the biaxial motion mechanism C21 to move in the opposite horizontal direction, and the packaging box adsorbed and fixed by the vacuum suction cup C23 moves toward the side of the packaging platform C6; the controller controls the biaxial motion mechanism C21 to move downward longitudinally, and the packaging box is turned upside down on the glass bottle placed on the packaging platform C6.
