[0034] Example 1:

[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the bottle packaging device of the present invention is shown. The bottle packaging device of this embodiment includes a packaging platform 1, a lifting mechanism 2, a box-supporting assembly 3 disposed below the packaging platform 1, and a box-supplying device 6 for conveying the box to the top of the packaging platform 1. The lifting mechanism 2 is used to drive the packaging platform 1 and / or the box-supporting assembly 3 so that the packaging platform 1 and the box-supporting assembly 3 rise and fall relative to each other. The packaging platform 1 is provided with a passage groove 11 for the box-supporting assembly 3 to pass through. The box-supporting assembly 3 can pass through the packaging platform 1 and open the box on the packaging platform 1.

[0036] Production Process: First, bottles are pushed onto the boxing platform 1, arranging them in rows to form a bottle set that can fill one box. Second, the lifting mechanism 2 raises the box-supporting components 3, positioning them around the bottle set on the boxing platform 1. Third, the box-supporting components 3 move inwards to a suitable distance from the bottle set. Fourth, the box-feeding device 6 lowers the box with its opening facing up, aligning it with the bottle set on the boxing platform 1, until the opening of the box is against the top of the box-supporting components 3. Fifth, the lifting mechanism 2 lowers the box-supporting components 3 below the boxing platform 1, placing the box on the platform and around the bottle set. This bottle boxing device, compared to manual boxing, improves production efficiency and meets the needs of modern automated production.

[0037] In this embodiment, the box support assembly 3 includes a movable seat 31 movably mounted on the lifting mechanism 2 and a box support rod 32 mounted on the movable seat 31. The box support rod 32 is correspondingly arranged with the passage groove 11, and the top of the box support rod 32 is provided with an inwardly inclined guide part 4. During the process of lowering the box body relative to the box-mounting platform 1, the inner wall of the box body will first contact the guide part 4. The guide part 4 plays a guiding role, and the box body will definitely open outward when it contacts the inner wall of the box body.

[0038] In this embodiment, the movable seat 31 is slidably mounted on the lifting mechanism 2, and the lifting mechanism 2 is provided with a sliding drive component 33 for driving the movable seat 31 to slide. After the opening of the box body covers the guide portion 4, the lifting mechanism 2 also slowly descends until the top of the inner wall of the box body contacts the bottle opening, that is, until the opening of the box body abuts against the outside of each guide portion 4. The lifting mechanism 2 stops rising and falling, and each sliding drive component 33 causes each movable seat 31 to open outward by an appropriate distance so that the guide portion 4 can avoid the bottle body. Then, the lifting mechanism 2 continues to descend, driving the box support assembly 3 and the guide portion 4 to descend below the boxing platform 1, so that the box body descends onto the boxing platform 1 and is placed around the outside of the bottle collection, thus completing one boxing action. The sliding drive component 33 is a telescopic drive component, such as an electric cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or pneumatic cylinder.

[0039] In this embodiment, the support box assembly 3 is provided in two pairs, with each pair of support box assemblies 3 arranged opposite to each other.

[0040] Specifically, the box-setting platform 1 has bottle-protecting rods 12 on both sides, and a bottle-protecting drive mechanism 13 is provided below the box-setting platform 1 to drive the bottle-protecting rods 12 to move closer and further away. During the process of feeding bottles into the box, the bottle-protecting rods 12 on both sides protect the bottles in the row to prevent them from tipping over. After a box of bottles is pushed into place, the bottle-protecting rods 12 move away to provide space for the box to be lowered.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] A bottle boxing method, implemented using the bottle boxing device of Embodiment 1, includes the following steps;

[0043] S1. Bottle feeding: Push the bottles onto the boxing platform 1 so that the bottles are arranged in rows and close together to form a bottle set that can fill a box.

[0044] S2, Bottle Encirclement: The lifting mechanism 2 drives each support box component 3 to rise, so that each support box component 3 surrounds the bottle collection on the box platform 1.

[0045] S3, Moving and adjusting support box assembly 3: Each support box assembly 3 moves inward to get close to the bottle at an appropriate distance;

[0046] S4. Place the box: Place the box with the opening open inverted on the bottle collection on the boxing platform 1 until the opening of the box abuts against the guide part 4 at the top of the box support assembly 3.

[0047] S5, Box Set: The lifting mechanism 2 drives the box support assembly 3 and the guide part 4 to descend below the box set platform 1, so that the box body descends onto the box set platform 1 and is placed around the bottle collection.

[0048] This bottle boxing method, compared to manual boxing, can improve production efficiency and meet the needs of modern automated production.

[0049] In this embodiment, in step S5, when the guide part 4 approaches the set position of the bottle, the lifting mechanism 2 pauses, and each support box assembly 3 opens outward, so that the guide part 4 is at an appropriate distance from the bottle in the vertical projection direction. Then, the lifting mechanism 2 continues to descend. In this way, the guide part 4 will not touch the bottle during the continued descent.

[0050] Example 3:

[0051] Figure 3 This illustration shows an embodiment of the bottle boxing system of the present invention. The system includes the bottle boxing device of Embodiment 1 and a bottle feeding device 5 located on one side of the boxing platform 1, and a box feeding device 6 located on the other side of the boxing platform 1. The bottle feeding device 5 feeds bottles in an orderly fashion to one side of the boxing platform 1. The box feeding device 6 supplies boxes to the boxing platform 1 and places the boxes around the bottles on the platform 1, thus achieving bottle boxing. This bottle boxing system includes all the technical features and advantages of the bottle boxing device.

[0052] In this embodiment, the bottle feeding device 5 includes a bottle feeding conveying mechanism 51 and a bottle pushing mechanism 52. A boxing platform 1 is located on one side of the bottle feeding conveying mechanism 51, and the bottle pushing mechanism 52 is located on the other side of the bottle feeding conveying mechanism 51. It is used to push the bottles on the bottle feeding conveying mechanism 51 in rows onto the boxing platform 1. A telescopic bottle-shifting mechanism 7 is provided at the end of the bottle feeding conveying mechanism 51. The bottle feeding device 5 also includes a bottle sorting mechanism 53, which is connected to the beginning of the bottle feeding conveying mechanism 51. The bottle sorting mechanism 53 is used to organize the bottles, ensuring they are upright and conveyed to the bottle feeding conveying mechanism 51. After the bottles form a row on the bottle feeding conveying mechanism 51 on one side of the boxing platform 1, the bottle pushing mechanism 52 pushes the entire row of bottles onto the boxing platform 1. The telescopic bottle-shifting mechanism 7 causes the bottles in each row to be misaligned before entering the boxing platform 1, thus ensuring that the bottles in each row on the boxing platform 1 are close together.

[0053] In this embodiment, the box supply device 6 includes a box conveying mechanism 61 and a box transfer robot 62, which is located between the box-setting platform 1 and the box conveying mechanism 61. The box conveying mechanism 61 delivers empty boxes to the box transfer robot 62. When the bottle collection on the box-setting platform 1 reaches the requirement of one box, the box transfer robot 62 grabs the empty box from the box conveying mechanism 61, aligns the empty box with the bottle collection on the box-setting platform 1, and places it upside down until the box opening abuts against the guide portion 4 at the top of the box-supporting assembly 3. Then, the lifting mechanism 2 drives the box-supporting assembly 3 and the guide portion 4 to descend below the box-setting platform 1, so that the box descends onto the box-setting platform 1 and fits around the bottle collection.

[0054] The boxing platform 1 is provided with a box output mechanism 8 on one side opposite the bottle feeding conveyor 51. After the bottle set is boxed, the box containing the bottle set is pushed to the box output mechanism 8 and transported to the next work station by the box output mechanism 8.
