In the packaging process, after stacking multiple in vitro detection cards, they need to be placed in the packaging box with their front sides facing down. The following automated packaging machine is used to stack the first object 1 and multiple second objects 2 and then flip them 180° to be placed in the packaging box for packaging.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of an embodiment of the automated packaging equipment of the present application.

[0031] An embodiment of the automated packaging equipment includes a first conveyor line 100, a first handling assembly 200, a second conveyor line 300, a second handling assembly 400, a stacking and flipping assembly 700, a third conveyor line 500, and a third handling assembly 600.

[0032] The first conveyor line 100 is used to convey the first object 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the first conveyor line 100 is a vibrating screening machine. At the output end of the vibrating screening machine, multiple first objects 1 are arranged in sequence. In other embodiments, the first conveyor line 100 can also be a belt conveyor.

[0033] The first handling assembly 200 is arranged corresponding to the conveying path of the first conveyor line 100 and is used to move the first object 1 conveyed by the first conveyor line 100 to the stacking and flipping assembly 700. In some embodiments, the first handling assembly 200 includes a first manipulator and a first grasping member arranged at the driving end of the first manipulator. The first grasping member is used to grasp or release the first object 1. The first grasping member can be a vacuum suction cup. The first manipulator drives the first grasping member to move in three-dimensional space so as to move the first object 1 to the stacking and flipping assembly 700 after the first grasping member grasps the first object 1 from the first conveyor line 100.

[0034] The second conveyor line 300 is used to convey the second object 2. In some embodiments, an assembly station is arranged on the conveying path of the second conveyor line 300. At the assembly station, the second object 2 is assembled. The second conveyor line 300 is used to convey the assembled second object 2 downstream. In the illustrated embodiment, the second conveyor line 300 is a belt conveyor. The second conveyor line 300 has a flow channel for guiding the second object 2 to move to a predetermined position. The second conveyor line 300 is provided with a sensor at a position corresponding to the predetermined position. When the sensor detects that there is a second object 2 at the predetermined position, it sends information to the second handling assembly 400.

[0035] The second handling assembly 400 is arranged corresponding to the conveying path of the second conveyor line 300 and is used to move the second object 2 conveyed by the second conveyor line 300 to the stacking and flipping assembly 700. In some embodiments, the second handling assembly 400 includes a second manipulator and a second grasping member arranged at the driving end of the second manipulator. The second grasping member is used to grasp or release the second object 2. The second grasping member can be a vacuum suction cup. The second manipulator drives the second grasping member to move in three-dimensional space so as to move the second object 2 to the stacking and flipping assembly 700 after the second grasping member grasps the second object 2 from the second conveyor line 300.

[0036] The stacking and flipping assembly 700 is used to stack the first object 1 and multiple second objects 2 and then flip them by 180°. The specific structure of the stacking and flipping assembly 700 will be described in detail below.

[0037] The third conveyor line 500 is used to convey the packaging boxes. In some embodiments, the third conveyor line 500 is a belt conveyor. A loading station, a box loading station, and a packaging station are sequentially arranged along the conveying path of the third conveyor line 500. At the loading station, the packaging box is placed on the third conveyor line 500. At the box loading station, the third handling assembly 600 places the stacked first object 1 and multiple second objects 2 into the packaging box. At the packaging station, the packaging box is sealed.

[0038] The third handling assembly 600 is arranged corresponding to the box loading station of the third conveyor line 500 and is used to transport the stacked first object 1 and multiple second objects 2 into the packaging box conveyed by the second conveyor line 300. The specific structure of the third handling assembly 600 will be described in detail below.

[0039] The operation process of the automatic packaging equipment is as follows:

[0040] The first handling assembly 200 first places a first object 1 on the stacking and flipping assembly 700;

[0041] The second handling assembly 400 sequentially places multiple second objects 2 on the stacking and flipping assembly 700. With the cooperation of the stacking and flipping assembly 700, the first object 1 and multiple second objects 2 are stacked one above the other from bottom to top;

[0042] The stacking and flipping assembly 700 flips the stacked first object 1 and multiple second objects 2 by 180°, so that the first object 1 is located above the multiple second objects 2.

[0043] The third handling assembly 600 transports the stacked first object 1 and multiple second objects 2 into the packaging box.

[0044] The structure of the stacking and flipping assembly 700 will be described in detail below.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 2 which is a three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of an embodiment of the stacking and flipping assembly 700 of the present application, Figure 3 is Figure 2 the front view of the stacking and flipping assembly 700 shown in Figure 4 is Figure 3 the A-A cross-sectional view in

[0046] The stacking and flipping assembly 700 includes a mounting base 701, a flipping member 703, a first driving member 707, a limiting member 709, a second driving member 711, and a carrier 713.

[0047] The flipping member 703 is movably arranged on the mounting base 701 and can selectively be in a first position and a second position relative to the mounting base 701. In the illustrated embodiment, the flipping member 703 is rotatably arranged on the mounting base 701 and can rotate relative to the mounting base 701 about the axis L. Figures 2 to 4 In Figures 2 to 4 , the flipping member 703 is in the first position. The flipping member 703 has a groove 705 for accommodating a plurality of stacked objects. Specifically, the groove 705 is for accommodating the first object 1 and a plurality of second objects 2. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 705 matches that of the second object 2. When the flipping member 703 is in the first position, the opening of the groove 705 faces upward. When the flipping member 703 is in the second position, the opening of the groove 705 faces downward.

[0048] When the flipping member 703 is in the first position, the first handling assembly 200 places the first object 1 in the groove 705, and the second handling assembly 400 sequentially places a plurality of second objects 2 in the groove 705. Under the guidance of the side wall of the groove 705, the first object 1 and the plurality of second objects 2 are stacked one above the other from bottom to top. When the flipping member 703 is in the second position, under the action of gravity, the first object 1 and the plurality of second objects 2 are separated from the groove 705.

[0049] The first driving member 707 is arranged on the mounting base 701 and is used to drive the flipping member 703 to selectively be in the first position or the second position. Specifically, the first driving member 707 is a motor, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the flipping member 703, and the motor is used to drive the flipping member 703 to rotate about the axis L.

[0050] The limiting member 709 is movably arranged on the flipping member 703 and can selectively be in a third position and a fourth position relative to the flipping member 703. Figures 2 to 4 In Figures 2 to 4 , the limiting member 709 is in the third position. When the limiting member 709 is in the third position, it blocks the opening of the groove 705. When the limiting member 709 is in the fourth position, it does not block the opening of the groove 705. Specifically, the number of the limiting members 709 is two, and the two limiting members 709 are located on opposite sides of the flipping member 703 and can approach or move away from each other. When the two limiting members 709 approach each other, they are both in the third position. When the two limiting members 709 move away from each other, they are both in the fourth position.

[0051] The second driving member 711 is arranged on the flipping member 703 and is used to drive the limiting member 709 to selectively be in the third position or the fourth position. Specifically, the second driving member 711 is a double-headed cylinder. The cylinder body of the double-headed cylinder is arranged on the flipping member 703, and the two driving ends of the double-headed cylinder are respectively connected to the two limiting members 709. The double-headed cylinder is used to drive the two limiting members 709 to approach or move away from each other.

[0052] The carrier 713 can be disposed on the mounting base 701 or can be disposed independently. The carrier 713 has a carrying surface 715. When the flipping member 703 is in the second position, the carrying surface 715 is disposed opposite to the groove 705 and is used for carrying a plurality of objects separated from the groove 705. Specifically, when the flipping member 703 is in the second position, the carrying surface 715 is located directly below the groove 705.

[0053] The operation process of the stacking and flipping assembly 700 is as follows:

[0054] The first driving member 707 drives the flipping member 703 to be in the first position.

[0055] The first handling assembly 200 handles the first object 1 into the groove 705.

[0056] The second handling assembly 400 sequentially handles a plurality of second objects 2 into the groove 705.

[0057] The second driving member 711 drives the limiting member 709 to be in the third position. The limiting member 709 blocks the opening of the groove 705.

[0058] The first driving member 707 drives the flipping member 703 to be in the second position. Due to the blocking of the limiting member 709, the object will not separate from the groove 705.

[0059] The second driving member 711 drives the limiting member 709 to be in the fourth position. The limiting member 709 no longer blocks the opening of the groove 705, and the object separates from the groove 705 under the action of gravity.

[0060] In some embodiments, to improve the efficiency, the number of grooves 705 is multiple, and the multiple grooves 705 are spaced along a predetermined direction ( Figure 3 the up and down direction). In the illustrated embodiment, the number of grooves 705 is twelve. Each groove 705 can stack a group of objects, and multiple grooves 705 can stack multiple groups of objects simultaneously. A group of objects includes, for example, one first object 1 and five second objects 2.

[0061] Correspondingly, the number of the first gripping members in the first handling assembly 200 is equal to the number of the grooves 705 and they are in one-to-one correspondence. The multiple first gripping members are all disposed at the driving end of the first manipulator. The first manipulator drives the multiple first gripping members to move to the first conveying line 100, and each first gripping member grabs one first object 1. The first manipulator drives the multiple first gripping members to move to the stacking and flipping assembly 700, and each first gripping member releases the grabbed first object 1 into the corresponding groove 705. In the first handling assembly 200, the multiple first gripping members synchronously grab or release the first object 1, thereby improving the handling efficiency of the first handling assembly 200.

[0062] Correspondingly, the number of flow channels of the second conveyor line 300 is equal to the number of grooves 705, and they correspond to each other one by one. The second conveyor line 300 can simultaneously convey a plurality of second objects 2 to a predetermined position.

[0063] Correspondingly, the second handling assembly 400 has two rows of second grippers. The number of second grippers in each row is equal to the number of grooves 705, and they correspond to each other one by one. Each second gripper is used to grip the second object 2 in the corresponding flow channel. After the second handling assembly 400 receives the information sent by the sensor, the second manipulator drives the second grippers to move to a predetermined position of the second conveyor line 300, and the two rows of second grippers sequentially grip the second objects 2 from the second conveyor line 300. After both rows of second grippers have gripped the second objects 2, the second manipulator drives the second grippers to move to the stacking and flipping assembly 700, and the two rows of second grippers sequentially place the gripped second objects 2 into the grooves 705. In the illustrated embodiment, five second objects 2 need to be stacked in each groove 705. Therefore, the second handling assembly 400 needs to make three round trips between the second conveyor line 300 and the stacking and flipping assembly 700 to handle the second objects 2.

[0064] In the case where the number of grooves 705 is multiple, to save space, the distance between two adjacent grooves 705 can be set relatively small. After the flipper 703 drops and places multiple groups of stacked objects on the carrier 713, the distance between two adjacent groups of objects is relatively small. To facilitate the third handling assembly 600 to handle each group of objects, in some embodiments, the number of carriers 713 is two, and the relative positions of the two carriers 713 in the normal direction of the bearing surface 715 can be adjusted. The bearing surfaces 715 of the two carriers 713 are respectively used to bear the objects in two adjacent grooves 705. The carrier 713 is generally comb-shaped and is arranged in a staggered manner.

[0065] Specifically, the stacking and flipping assembly 700 further includes two third driving members 717. The carriers 713 correspond to the third driving members 717 one by one. Each carrier 713 is arranged at the driving end of the corresponding third driving member 717, and the third driving member 717 is used to drive the corresponding carrier 713 to move back and forth in the normal direction of the bearing surface 715. The third driving member 717 can be a cylinder.

[0066] In the initial state, the bearing surfaces 715 of the two carriers 713 are at the same height to receive multiple groups of objects separated from the flipper 703. Before the third handling assembly 600 handles the objects, the two carriers 713 are vertically misaligned, so that the distance between two adjacent groups of objects on each carrier 713 is increased.

[0067] In addition, to ensure the stability of the flipper 703 when it is in the first position and the second position, the stacking and flipping assembly 700 further includes a first bearing member 719 and a second bearing member 721.

[0068] The first carrier 719 is used to carry the flipping member 703 when the flipping member 703 is in the first position. The second carrier 721 is used to carry the flipping member 703 when the flipping member 703 is in the second position.

[0069] Specifically, both the first carrier 719 and the second carrier 721 are support columns, and the support columns are used to abut against the flipping member 703.

[0070] The third handling assembly 600 will be introduced in detail below.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 which is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the third handling assembly 600 in an embodiment of the automatic assembly equipment of the present application, Figure 6 is Figure 5 an enlarged view of the local structure in

[0072] In some embodiments, the third handling assembly 600 includes a fourth driving member 601, a fifth driving member 603, a first jaw 607, and a second jaw 609. The first jaw 607 and the second jaw 609 are disposed at the driving end of the fifth driving member 603. The fifth driving member 603 is used to drive the first jaw 607 and the second jaw 609 to approach or separate from each other, so as to grip a plurality of stacked second objects 2 during the approaching process. The fourth driving member 601 is used to drive the fifth driving member 603 to move in three-dimensional space, so as to drive the plurality of second objects 2 gripped by the first jaw 607 and the second jaw 609 to move. Specifically, the fourth driving member 601 can be a third manipulator, and the fifth driving member 603 can be a jaw cylinder. The first jaw 607 and the second jaw 609 are disposed at the two driving ends of the jaw cylinder. Elastic layers can be respectively disposed on a pair of opposite surfaces of the first jaw 607 and the second jaw 609 to ensure stable gripping of each second object 2. The material of the elastic layer can be rubber.

[0073] Since there is still the first object 1 above the multiple second objects 2, and the outer contour of the first object 1 is smaller than that of the second object 2, the first gripper 607 and the second gripper 609 cannot grip the first object 1. To ensure that the first object 1 will not accidentally fall during the handling process, in some embodiments, the third handling component 600 includes a pressing member 611 and an elastic member (not visible in the figure). The pressing member 611 is movably arranged on the fifth driving member 603. The elastic member is configured to apply an elastic force to the pressing member 611 so that the pressing member 611 elastically presses the first object 1 against the second object 2. Specifically, the pressing member 611 is slidably engaged with the fifth driving member 603 and can reciprocate along the stacking direction of the multiple second objects 2. The opposite ends of the elastic member are respectively elastically abutted between the fifth driving member 603 and the pressing member 611. More specifically, the combination of the pressing member 611 and the elastic member can adopt a spring stud, and the spring stud is a commercially available product.

[0074] In the above embodiments, the first conveyor line 100 and the first handling component 200 are not necessary. In some application scenarios, it is not necessary to place the first object 1 in the packaging box. In this application scenario, the stacking and flipping component 700 is used to stack multiple second objects 2 and then flip the first object 1 by 180°, and the third handling component 600 is used to handle the stacked multiple second objects 2 into the packaging box.

[0075] In summary, the stacking and flipping component and the automatic packaging device of the present application can stack and flip multiple objects for subsequent packaging.

[0076] The introduction provided in the above steps is only used to help understand the method, structure and core idea of the present application. For those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
