Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wine box packaging, and specifically relates to an automatic assembly of wine box bottom accessories. Background Technology

[0002] A wine box is a packaging box used to hold wine bottles. Wine boxes are made of various materials and consist of a bottom and a body. Most wine box bodies are made of cardboard. During the manufacturing process, the body and bottom of the wine box need to be folded and shaped separately.

[0003] After the bottom of the wine box is folded and formed, a lining and foam need to be placed inside the bottom of the wine box. However, in the existing technology, workers need to manually place several linings and foams one by one inside the bottom of the wine box, which increases the labor intensity and labor cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an automatic assembly of wine box bottom accessories to solve the problem that workers need to manually place several substrates and foams one by one into the bottom of the wine box, which increases the labor intensity and labor cost.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0006] An automatic assembly for the bottom parts of a wine box includes a top-open box body. A foam feeding device is installed on the box body, and a foam picking platform is located on one side of the foam feeding device. A substrate storage device, a substrate conveying device, a substrate picking station, and a robotic arm are located on one side of the foam picking platform. The box body is used to store foam. The foam feeding device is used to convey the foam from the box body one by one to the foam picking platform. The substrate storage device is used to store substrates, and the substrate conveying device is used to convey the substrates from the storage device one by one to the substrate picking station. The robotic arm is used to place the foam from the foam picking platform and the substrates from the substrate picking station into the bottom of the box.

[0007] In this technical solution, it should be noted that the robotic arm is existing technology. The robotic arm includes a first platform, a second platform, a rotating shaft, and suction cups. The first platform is driven to rotate by a motor. The second platform is located at one end of the top of the first platform and is also driven to rotate by a motor. The rotating shaft is located at the end of the second platform and is driven to rise and fall by a cylinder, and is also driven to rotate by a motor. Two suction cups are located at the bottom of the rotating shaft; one is used to pick up the substrate and the other to pick up the foam. The principle of this solution is as follows: the operator first places several foams and substrates into the box and substrate storage device respectively. Then, individual foams are fed to the foam picking platform by a foam feeding device, and individual substrates are transported by a substrate conveying device. The substrate is delivered to the substrate picking station. Then, the robotic arm starts, using the rotation of the first and second platforms, the rotation and lifting of the rotating shaft, and the action of two suction cups to sequentially pick up the foam and substrate, placing them into the bottom of a box located on a side conveyor line. After placement, the conveyor line travels a distance to deliver the next box to the installation station, and this cycle repeats to achieve the installation of the substrate and foam. In summary, this invention, through the design of the box, foam feeding device, foam picking platform, substrate storage device, substrate conveying device, substrate picking station, and robotic arm, enables automatic feeding and installation of substrates and foam, improving work efficiency and reducing worker workload and labor costs.

[0008] Preferably, the foam feeding device includes a conveyor, a pushing device, a stacking device, and a pushing device; the conveyor is located on one side of the top of the box; the pushing device is used to push the material inside the box onto the conveyor; the stacking device is located at the tail of the conveyor and on one side of the foam picking platform, and the conveyor transports the foam to the stacking device for stacking; the pushing device is used to push the stacked foam one by one onto the foam picking platform; the pushing device includes a guide plate and a pushing plate, the guide plate is embedded in the box, and one end of the guide plate is connected to one side of the conveyor, and the other end is inclined downwards, and the pushing plate is slidably disposed on the surface of the guide plate; the pushing device also includes several fixed plates, the several fixed plates are sequentially and spacedly embedded in the box along the inclined direction of the guide plate, and the fixed plates are parallel to the guide plate, and the surface of each fixed plate is slidably provided with a pushing plate, and the box is also provided with a driving component for driving the pushing plate to slide along the surface of the guide plate.

[0009] In this technical solution, it should be noted that the width of the conveyor is approximately equal to the width of the foam. There is a gap between adjacent fixed plates, and each guide plate can slide out below the gap via a drive device, moving to the lower surface of the lower guide plate. It can also slide out above the gap via the drive device, moving to the upper surface of the upper guide plate. This up-and-down movement achieves the pushing function. Setting multiple fixed plates and multiple pusher plates has two advantages: firstly, it increases the overall capacity of the container; secondly, it allows the foam to be pushed upwards gradually. In practical implementation: the operator first puts a certain amount of foam into the container, then starts the conveyor and drive assembly. The moving component drives the pusher plate to slide back and forth along the inclined direction of the guide plate. When the pusher plate slides upward, it pushes the foam upward. When the top of the pusher plate exceeds the top of the guide plate and the fixed plate, some of the foam will be pushed onto the conveyor and transported to the tail of the conveyor so that workers can put the foam into the bottom of the box on the conveyor line. When the pusher plate slides downward, the foam that is not pushed onto the conveyor will slide back into the box under the action of gravity. This cycle continues until all the foam is gradually pushed onto the conveyor. The foam pushed onto the conveyor is transported to the palletizing device for palletizing. Then, the pushing device pushes the palletized foam one by one onto the foam picking platform for the robotic arm to grab.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a connecting frame and a lifting structure. The connecting frame is located below the pushing device and connects several pushing plates. The lifting structure is used to drive the connecting frame to slide along the inclined direction of the pushing plates. The lifting structure includes a guide column, a crossbar, a transmission structure, and a motor. The guide column is fixedly installed inside the housing and located below the pushing device. The guide column is parallel to the fixed plate, and the connecting frame is slidably sleeved on the guide column. The crossbar is connected to the bracket and is perpendicular to the guide column. The motor is installed inside the housing and located below the pushing device. The transmission structure drives the output end of the motor to the crossbar. The output shaft of the motor rotates, which can drive the crossbar to move along the inclined direction of the fixed plate through the transmission structure. The transmission structure includes a driving rod and a driven rod. One end of the driving rod is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the other end extends along the diameter direction of the output shaft and is hinged to one end of the driven rod. The end of the driven rod away from the driving rod is hinged to the crossbar.

[0011] In this technical solution, it should be noted that the connecting frame is equipped with reinforcing ribs, which connect the connecting frame and the crossbar, making the entire structure stable. In this solution, when it is necessary to drive the connecting frame to slide back and forth along the inclined direction of the pusher plate, the motor is started. The motor drives the driving rod to rotate, and the rotation of the driving rod drives the driven rod to swing back and forth. The swinging of the driven rod in turn drives the connecting frame to move up and down repeatedly. The back and forth movement of the connecting frame drives all the pusher plates to move up and down repeatedly, thereby achieving the purpose of pushing materials.

[0012] Preferably, the conveyor is provided with a baffle on the side away from the box body. The baffle is arranged along the length direction of the conveyor. The baffle is provided with an anti-overlap recycling component. The anti-overlap recycling component includes a first guide plate. One end of the first guide plate is connected to the baffle, and the other end of the first guide plate extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor and is inclined away from the baffle. The distance between the bottom of the first guide plate and the conveyor is greater than the thickness of the foam but less than twice the thickness of the foam. The anti-overlap recycling component also includes a recycling plate. One end of the recycling plate is in contact with the surface of the conveyor, and the other end is inclined downward and communicates with the box body. The end of the first guide plate away from the baffle is located above the recycling plate. The recycling plate is provided with a surrounding plate on the side away from the box body. A second guide plate is provided at the connection between the surrounding plate and the conveyor. One end of the second guide plate is connected to the surrounding plate, and the other end is inclined outward.

[0013] In this technical solution, it should be noted that the baffle prevents foam from sliding off the back of the conveyor. Secondly, it should be noted that during the feeding process, foam on the conveyor may overlap vertically or be in a vertical position. To ensure that there is only one layer of foam on the conveyor and that the foam delivered to the tail of the conveyor is horizontal, a first guide plate is provided. The first guide plate can scrape off vertically positioned and overlapping foam from the conveyor, ensuring the foam is horizontally positioned during transport. The recovery plate is used to guide the foam scraped off by the first guide plate back into the container. Furthermore, it should be emphasized that horizontally positioned foam can also become skewed. To ensure that the foam at the tail of the conveyor is horizontally aligned (i.e., the length of the foam is parallel to the length of the conveyor), this solution includes a second guide plate, which corrects any skewed foam.

[0014] Preferably, the palletizing device includes a palletizing box located at the tail of the conveyor. The top and bottom of the palletizing box are open, and the top of the palletizing box is connected to the tail of the conveyor. The bottom of the palletizing box has a platform, which divides the platform into a foam picking platform and a foam pushing platform located on its left and right sides, respectively. The left and right sides of the palletizing box have openings communicating with the foam picking platform and the foam pushing platform, respectively. The pushing device includes a first cylinder located on the foam pushing platform. The output end of the first cylinder has a push plate facing the opening. The top of the palletizing box has a second cylinder, which is vertically arranged. The output end of the second cylinder is connected to a horizontal plate, and the bottom of one end of the horizontal plate is connected to a pressure plate located above the palletizing box. The edge of the picking platform is provided with a fence.

[0015] In this technical solution, it should be noted that because the conveyor operates continuously and adjacent foams on the conveyor may be spaced out, the robotic arm may miss some foam when grabbing it, resulting in some foam not being placed at the bottom of the box on the conveyor line. Therefore, this solution includes a palletizing device. After the conveyor transports the foam to its tail end, the foam falls into the palletizing box and is stacked one on top of the other. The first cylinder is activated at timed intervals, using a pusher plate to push the foam at the bottom of the palletizing box out of the box for foam retrieval. On the platform, it is convenient for robotic arms or workers to grasp the foam at regular intervals, improving work efficiency. After the first cylinder pushes the foam at the bottom of the palletizing box to the foam picking platform, in order to ensure that there is always foam at the bottom of the palletizing box, this solution is equipped with a second cylinder and a pressure plate. After the first cylinder pushes away the foam at the bottom of the palletizing box, the second cylinder will start, driving the pressure plate to move downward to press the foam on top downward. After pressing down, the second cylinder drives the pressure plate to reset, and the conveyor transports the foam in the box to the palletizing box again. This cycle is repeated to realize the continuous assembly work.

[0016] Preferably, the substrate storage device includes a table and a table body disposed on the table. The top of the table body has an opening, the length and width of which are greater than the length and width of the substrate. The robotic arm and substrate picking station are disposed on the table and located on one side of the table body. A substrate fixing assembly is provided at the opening. The substrate fixing assembly includes several fixing posts, which are spaced apart circumferentially at the opening. The length and width of the rectangle formed by the fixing posts are approximately equal to the length and width of the substrate. Each fixing post has a limiting platform at its bottom for holding the substrate. The substrate conveying device includes a third cylinder, a fourth cylinder, and a suction cup. The third cylinder is disposed below the table body and is horizontally arranged. The output end of the third cylinder is connected to the fourth cylinder. The fourth cylinder is vertically arranged and located below the opening. The output end of the top of the fourth cylinder is connected to the suction cup. The substrate picking station is located on the side of the fourth cylinder away from the third cylinder.

[0017] In this technical solution, it should be noted that when the substrate needs to be placed inside the bottom of the wine box, the worker first stacks several substrates on top of each other and places them above the opening, and the substrates are fixed by a fixing component. Then, the conveyor line transports the bottom of the wine box to the installation station and stops running. Then, the substrate conveying device starts, the third cylinder starts, and the third cylinder drives the fourth cylinder to move below the opening. Then, the fourth cylinder starts, and the fourth cylinder drives the suction cup to move upward. When the suction cup contacts the bottom substrate, the suction cup starts and picks up the substrate. Then, the fourth cylinder starts again, and moves the suction cup and the substrate from above the opening to below the opening (because the substrate is elastic, the substrate moves from above the opening to below the opening through deformation during the gripping). Then, the third cylinder starts again, and moves the third cylinder and the substrate to the substrate picking station. After that, the robotic arm starts, and the robotic arm picks up the substrate at the substrate picking station and places it inside the bottom of the box.

[0018] Preferably, each of the fixed columns is provided with an inclined column at the top, the inclined column being inclined outward.

[0019] In this technical solution, it should be noted that, due to the inclined setting of the inclined pillars, the area of ​​the rectangle formed by several inclined pillars gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the opening area at the top is the largest. This setting makes it easier for staff to place the substrate.

[0020] Preferably, the diameter of the limiting platform gradually increases from top to bottom, and the minimum diameter of the limiting platform is comparable to the diameter of the fixed column.

[0021] In this technical solution, it should be noted that since the diameter of the limiting platform gradually increases from top to bottom, and the minimum diameter of the limiting platform is equivalent to the diameter of the fixed column, the side wall of the limiting platform is an inclined plane. Thus, the length and width of the rectangle formed by several limiting platforms will be smaller than the length and width of the substrate, which means that the substrate can be stuck.

[0022] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] 1. In this invention, the automatic feeding and installation of substrates and foam can be achieved by setting up a box, foam feeding device, foam picking platform, substrate storage device, substrate conveying device, substrate picking station and robotic arm, which improves work efficiency and reduces the labor intensity and labor cost of workers.

[0024] 2. In this invention, the recycling plate can guide the foam scraped off by the first guide plate back into the box; secondly, in order to ensure that the foam located at the tail of the conveyor can be placed horizontally and upright, this solution is provided with a second guide plate, which can correct the skewed foam.

[0046] The following is combined with Figures 1-12 Please provide an explanation.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an automatic assembly of wine box bottom accessories is disclosed in this embodiment of the invention, including a box body 10 with an open top, a foam feeding device on the box body 10, a foam picking platform 50 on one side of the foam feeding device, a substrate storage device, a substrate conveying device, a substrate picking station 401 and a robotic arm 20 on one side of the foam picking platform 50, the box body 10 is used to store foam 30, the foam feeding device is used to convey the foam 30 in the box body 10 one by one to the foam picking platform 50, the substrate storage device is used to store substrate 42, the substrate conveying device is used to convey the substrate 42 in the storage device one by one to the substrate picking station 401, and the robotic arm 20 is used to put the foam 30 on the foam picking platform 50 and the substrate 42 at the substrate picking station 401 into the box bottom 61.

[0049] It should be noted that the robotic arm 20 is existing technology, for reference only. Figure 3The robotic arm 20 includes a first seat 21, a second seat 22, a rotating shaft 23, and suction cups. The first seat 21 is driven to rotate by a motor 17. The second seat 22 is located at one end of the top of the first seat 21 and is also driven to rotate by a motor 17. The rotating shaft 23 is located at the end of the second seat 22. The rotating shaft 23 is driven to rise and fall by a cylinder and is also driven to rotate by a motor 17. The suction cups are located at the bottom of the rotating shaft 23. There are two suction cups, which are used to pick up the substrate 42 and the foam 30, respectively. The principle of this scheme is as follows: First, the operator places several foams 30 and substrates 42 into the box 10 and substrate storage device respectively. Then, a single foam 30 is fed to the foam picking platform 50 via a foam feeding device, and a single substrate 42 is transported to the substrate picking station 401 via a substrate conveying device. Afterward, the robotic arm 20 is activated, and through the rotation of the first platform 21, the rotation of the second platform 22, the rotation and lifting of the rotating shaft 23, and the action of two suction cups, it sequentially picks up the foam 30 and substrate 42 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown), the substrate 42 and foam 30 are placed into the box bottom 61 located on the side conveyor line 60. After placement, the conveyor line 60 runs a distance to transport the next box bottom 61 to the installation station. This cycle is repeated to realize the installation of the substrate 42 and foam 30.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] like Figure 3-9 As shown, this embodiment is largely the same as the above embodiments, except that this embodiment provides a detailed description of the foam feeding device. The foam feeding device includes a conveyor 70, a pushing device, a stacking device, and a pushing device. The conveyor 70 is located on one side of the top of the box 10. The pushing device is used to push the material inside the box 10 onto the conveyor 70. The stacking device is located at the tail of the conveyor 70 and on one side of the foam picking platform 50. The conveyor 70 transports the foam 30 to the stacking device for stacking. The pushing device is used to push the stacked foam 30 one by one onto the foam picking platform 50. The device includes a guide plate 13 and a pusher plate 11. The guide plate 13 is embedded in the housing 10, with one end connected to one side of the conveyor 70 and the other end inclined downward. The pusher plate 11 is slidably disposed on the surface of the guide plate 13. The pusher device also includes several fixing plates 12, which are sequentially and spaced apart in the housing 10 along the inclined direction of the guide plate 13. The fixing plates 12 are parallel to the guide plate 13, and the surface of each fixing plate 12 is slidably provided with a pusher plate 11. The housing 10 is also provided with a drive assembly for driving the pusher plate 11 to slide along the surface of the guide plate 13.

[0052] It should be noted that the width of the conveyor 70 is approximately the same as the width of the foam 30. There is a gap between two adjacent fixed plates 12. Each guide plate 13 can slide out below the gap via a drive device, moving to the lower surface of the lower guide plate 13. It can also slide out above the gap via the drive device, moving to the upper surface of the upper guide plate 13. This up-and-down movement achieves the pushing function (see reference). Figure 6 and Figure 7 Setting up multiple fixed plates 12 and multiple pusher plates 11 has two advantages: firstly, it increases the overall capacity of the box 10; secondly, it allows the foam 30 to be pushed upwards gradually. In practice: the operator first puts several foams 30 into the box 10, then starts the conveyor 70 and drive assembly. The drive assembly drives the pusher plates 11 to slide back and forth along the inclined direction of the guide plate 13. When the pusher plates 11 slide upwards, they push the foam 30 upwards. When the top of the pusher plates 11 exceeds the top of the guide plate 13 and the fixed plates 12, some of the foam 30 is pushed onto the conveyor 70 (see reference). Figure 7 The foam 30 is conveyed by the conveyor 70 to the tail of the conveyor 70, so that the workers can put the foam 30 into the box bottom 61 on the conveyor line 60. When the pusher plate 11 slides down, the foam 30 that is not pushed onto the conveyor 70 will slide back into the box 10 under the action of gravity. In this cycle, all the foam 30 will be gradually pushed onto the conveyor 70. The foam 30 pushed onto the conveyor 70 is transported by the conveyor 70 to the palletizing device for palletizing. Then the pushing device pushes the palletized foam 30 one by one onto the foam picking platform 50 for the robotic arm 20 to grab.

[0053] like Figure 5-7As shown, in this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a connecting frame 14 and a lifting structure. The connecting frame 14 is located below the pushing device and connects several pushing plates 11. The lifting structure is used to drive the connecting frame 14 to slide along the inclined direction of the pushing plates 11. The lifting structure includes a guide column, a crossbar 16, a transmission structure, and a motor 17. The guide column is fixedly installed inside the housing 10 and is located below the pushing device. The guide column is parallel to the fixed plate 12, and the connecting frame 14 is slidably sleeved on the guide column. The crossbar 16 is connected to the bracket. Furthermore, the crossbar 16 is perpendicular to the guide post, and the motor 17 is located inside the housing 10 and below the pushing device. The transmission structure connects the output end of the motor 17 to the crossbar 16. When the output shaft of the motor 17 rotates, it can drive the crossbar 16 to move along the inclined direction of the fixed plate 12 through the transmission structure. The transmission structure includes a driving rod 18 and a driven rod 19. One end of the driving rod 18 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 17, and the other end extends along the diameter direction of the output shaft and is hinged to one end of the driven rod 19. The end of the driven rod 19 away from the driving rod 18 is hinged to the crossbar 16.

[0054] It should be noted that the connecting frame 14 is provided with reinforcing ribs 141, which connect the connecting frame 14 and the crossbar 16, making the whole structure stable. In this solution, when it is necessary to drive the connecting frame 14 to slide back and forth along the inclined direction of the pusher plate 11, the motor 17 is started. The motor 17 drives the driving rod 18 to rotate. The rotation of the driving rod 18 drives the driven rod 19 to swing back and forth. The swinging of the driven rod 19 drives the connecting frame 14 to move up and down repeatedly. The reciprocating movement of the connecting frame 14 drives all the pusher plates 11 to move up and down repeatedly, thereby achieving the purpose of pushing materials.

[0055] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a baffle 71 is provided on the side of the conveyor 70 away from the housing 10. The baffle 71 is arranged along the length direction of the conveyor 70. An anti-overlap recycling component is provided on the baffle 71. The anti-overlap recycling component includes a first guide plate 72. One end of the first guide plate 72 is connected to the baffle 71, and the other end of the first guide plate 72 extends along the conveying direction of the conveyor 70 and is inclined away from the baffle 71. The distance between the bottom of the first guide plate 72 and the conveyor 70 is greater than the foam 30. The thickness is less than twice the thickness of foam 30; the anti-overlap recycling assembly also includes a recycling plate 74, one end of which is in contact with the surface of the conveyor 70, and the other end is inclined downward and connected to the box 10; the end of the first guide plate 72 away from the baffle 71 is located above the recycling plate 74; a surrounding plate 75 is provided on the side of the recycling plate 74 away from the box 10, and a second guide plate 73 is provided at the connection between the surrounding plate 75 and the conveyor 70, one end of the second guide plate 73 is connected to the surrounding plate 75, and the other end is inclined outward.

[0056] It should be noted that the baffle 71 prevents the foam 30 from sliding off the back side of the conveyor 70. Secondly, it should also be noted that during the feeding process, the foam 30 on the conveyor 70 may overlap vertically or be in a vertical position. To ensure that there is only one layer of foam 30 on the conveyor 70 and that the foam 30 delivered to the tail of the conveyor 70 is in a horizontal position, a first guide plate 72 is provided. The first guide plate 72 can guide the vertically positioned foam 30 and the overlapping foam 30 off the conveyor 70. The scraping mechanism ensures that the foam 30 is placed horizontally during transport. The recycling plate 74 is designed to guide the foam 30 scraped off by the first guide plate 72 back into the housing 10. Secondly, it should be emphasized that the horizontal foam 30 may also become skewed. In order to ensure that the foam 30 located at the tail of the conveyor 70 is in a horizontal and upright position (i.e., the length direction of the foam 30 is parallel to the length direction of the conveyor 70), this solution is provided with a second guide plate 73, which can correct the skewed foam 30.

[0057] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the palletizing device includes a palletizing box 80, which is located at the tail of the conveyor 70. The top and bottom of the palletizing box 80 are open, and the top of the palletizing box 80 is connected to the tail of the conveyor 70. The bottom of the palletizing box 80 has a platform, which divides the platform into a foam picking platform 50 and a foam pushing platform 87 located on its left and right sides, respectively. The left and right sides of the palletizing box 80 are respectively provided with openings 8 that communicate with the foam picking platform 50 and the foam pushing platform 87. 1; The pushing device includes a first cylinder 82, which is mounted on a foam pushing platform 87. The output end of the first cylinder 82 is provided with a push plate 83, which faces the opening 81. The top of the palletizing box 80 is provided with a second cylinder 84, which is vertically arranged. The output end of the second cylinder 84 is connected to a horizontal plate 85. The bottom of one end of the horizontal plate 85 is connected to a pressure plate 86, which is located above the palletizing box 80. The edge of the picking platform is provided with a fence 88.

[0058] It should be noted that since the conveyor 70 operates continuously, and adjacent foams 30 on the conveyor 70 may be spaced apart, this can cause the robotic arm to miss some foams 30 when grabbing them. Consequently, the bottom of the box 61 on the conveyor line 60 may not contain any foams 30. Therefore, this solution includes a palletizing device. After the conveyor 70 transports the foams 30 to its tail end, the foams 30 fall into the palletizing box 80 and are stacked one on top of the other. The first cylinder 82 is activated at regular intervals, pushing the foams 30 at the bottom of the palletizing box 80 onto the foam picking platform 50 outside the palletizing box 80 via the pusher plate 83, facilitating the machine... The robotic arm or worker can grasp the foam at regular intervals, improving work efficiency. After the first cylinder 82 pushes the foam 30 at the bottom of the palletizing box 80 onto the foam picking platform 50, in order to ensure that there is always foam 30 at the bottom of the palletizing box 80, this solution is equipped with a second cylinder 84 and a pressure plate 86. After the first cylinder 82 pushes away the foam 30 at the bottom of the palletizing box 80, the second cylinder 84 will start, driving the pressure plate 86 to move downward to press the foam 30 above down. After pressing down, the second cylinder 84 drives the pressure plate 86 to reset, and the conveyor 70 transports the foam 30 in the box 10 back into the palletizing box 80. This cycle is repeated to realize the continuous operation of the assembly work.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] like Figure 10-12 As shown, this embodiment is largely the same as the above embodiment, except that the substrate storage device is described in detail. The substrate storage device includes a table 40 and a table body 41 disposed on the table 40. The top of the table body 41 is provided with an opening 45, the length and width of which are greater than the length and width of the substrate 42. The robotic arm 20 and the substrate picking station 401 are disposed on the table 40 and located on one side of the table body 41. A substrate 42 fixing assembly is provided at the opening 45. The substrate 42 fixing assembly includes a plurality of fixing posts 43, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the opening 45 and enclosed by the plurality of fixing posts 43. The length and width of the rectangle are equivalent to the length and width of the substrate 42. Each of the fixed posts 43 has a limiting platform 431 at its bottom for holding the substrate 42. The substrate conveying device includes a third cylinder 46, a fourth cylinder 47, and a suction cup 48. The third cylinder 46 is located below the table body 41. The third cylinder 46 is arranged horizontally, and its output end is connected to the fourth cylinder 47. The fourth cylinder 47 is arranged vertically and is located below the through port 45. The output end of the top of the fourth cylinder 47 is connected to the suction cup 48. The substrate picking station 401 is located on the side of the fourth cylinder 47 away from the third cylinder 46.

[0061] It should be noted that when the substrate 42 needs to be placed inside the bottom 61 of the wine box, the operator first stacks several substrates 42 vertically and places them above the opening 45, and the substrates 42 are fixed by a fixing component; then, the conveyor line 60 transports the bottom 61 of the wine box to the installation station and stops running. Then, the substrate conveying device starts, the third cylinder 46 starts, and the third cylinder 46 drives the fourth cylinder 47 to move below the opening 45. Then, the fourth cylinder 47 starts, and the fourth cylinder 47 drives the suction cup 48 to move upward. When the suction cup 48 contacts the bottom substrate 42... Then, the suction cup 48 is activated and picks up the substrate 42. After that, the fourth cylinder 47 is activated again, moving the suction cup 48 and the substrate 42 from above the opening 45 to below the opening 45 (because the substrate 42 is elastic, during the gripping, the substrate 42 moves from above the opening 45 to below the opening 45 through deformation). Then, the third cylinder 46 is activated again, moving the third cylinder 46 and the substrate 42 to the substrate picking station 401. After that, the robotic arm 20 is activated, picking up the substrate 42 at the substrate picking station 401 and placing it into the bottom of the box 61.

[0062] like Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, each of the fixed columns 43 is provided with an inclined column 44 at its top, and the inclined column 44 is inclined outward.

[0063] It should be noted that, since the inclined pillars 44 are set at an angle, the area of ​​the rectangle formed by several inclined pillars 44 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the top opening 81 has the largest area. This arrangement makes it easier for staff to place the substrate 42.

[0064] like Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the diameter of the limiting platform 431 gradually increases from top to bottom, and the minimum diameter of the limiting platform 431 is comparable to the diameter of the fixing column 43.

[0065] It should be noted that, since the diameter of the limiting platform 431 gradually increases from top to bottom, and the minimum diameter of the limiting platform 431 is comparable to the diameter of the fixing post 43, the side wall of the limiting platform 431 is an inclined surface. In this way, the length and width of the rectangle formed by several limiting platforms 431 will be smaller than the length and width of the substrate 42, so that the substrate 42 can be stuck.

[0066] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0067] First, the staff places several foams 30 and substrates 42 at the openings 45 on the box 10 and table 41 respectively. Then, the conveyor 70 and motor 17 are started. The motor 17 drives the drive rod 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven rod 19 to swing back and forth. The swinging of the driven rod 19 in turn drives the connecting frame 14 to move up and down repeatedly. The moving up and down of the connecting frame 14 in turn drives all the pusher plates 11 to move up and down repeatedly, pushing the foams 30 onto the conveyor 70. During the transportation of the foams 30, the conveyor 70 guides the overlapping foams 30 to the recycling plate 74 through the first guide plate 72. The foams 30 then slide into the box 10 from the recycling plate 74. During the transportation of the foams 30, the conveyor 70 also corrects the tilted foams 30 through the second guide plate 73. Finally, the foams 30 are transported into the palletizing box 80 and stacked one on top of the other. Then, the first cylinder 82 is activated at timed intervals, pushing the foams at the bottom of the palletizing box 80 through the pusher plate 83. Foam 30 is pushed onto the foam picking platform 50 outside the palletizing box 80. Simultaneously, the third cylinder 46 is activated, driving the fourth cylinder 47 to move below the opening 45. Then, the fourth cylinder 47 is activated, driving the suction cup 48 upwards. When the suction cup 48 contacts the bottom substrate 42, it activates and holds the substrate 42. Then, the fourth cylinder 47 is activated again, moving the suction cup 48 and substrate 42 from above the opening 45 to below it (due to the elasticity of the substrate 42, it deforms during gripping, moving from above to below the opening 45). Then, the third cylinder 46 is activated again, moving the third cylinder 46 and substrate 42 to the substrate picking station 401. Finally, the robotic arm 20 is activated, using the rotation of the first platform 21, the rotation of the second platform 22, the rotation and lifting of the rotating shaft 23, and the action of the two suction cups on the robotic arm to sequentially pick up the foam 30 and substrate 42 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the substrate 42 and foam 30 are placed one after another into the box bottom 61 located on the conveyor line 60. After placement, the conveyor line 60 runs a certain distance to transport the next box bottom 61 to the installation station, and so on, to realize the installation of the substrate 42 and foam 30. The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
