Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automated equipment, and particularly to an SIOC item packing production line. Background Art
[0002] Paper cards are raw materials for packaging boxes. A packaging box capable of holding items needs to be formed by folding the paper cards multiple times. Before folding the paper cards, glue needs to be sprayed on the corresponding positions on the surface, and then the paper cards are folded along the creases on the surface to form a carton. Currently, the traditional method is to manually fold the paper cards into cartons on a production line. This method not only has low efficiency but also is prone to errors, and the quality of the folded cartons varies.
[0003] After the paper cards are folded into cartons, products need to be packed in the cartons. In the prior art, the patent application documents with publication numbers CN115465510A and CN115384859A adopt an automated production line to pack products in cartons. However, the cartons of this production line are folded manually by workers and transported to the line through a carton loading station, with low automation and low work efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide an automated equipment production line that can combine box making and packing to achieve automated packaging. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an SIOC item packing production line. Using this production line, box making and item boxing can be completed in an automated assembly line manner, greatly improving the company's packaging efficiency and output.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: an SIOC item packing production line, including

[0011] And a carton corner turning mechanism, which is connected to the transportation mechanism and capable of transporting the cartons located on the transportation mechanism to the boxing production line;
[0012] The cartoning production line includes a product loading station, a carton loading station, and a cartoning station arranged along the line body. The carton loading station is connected to the carton corner mechanism to convey the cartons to the line body. The cartoning station is located outside the line body and can assemble the items from the product loading station into the cartons.
[0013] Further, the line body includes a first line body for product loading and a second line body for carton loading. The first line body and the second line body are arranged side by side and close to each other. The side where the first line body and the second line body are close is defined as the inner side, and the other side is defined as the outer side. The cartoning station is located outside the first line body, the carton loading station is located outside the second line body, and the product loading station is located at the head end of the first line body.
[0014] Further, the product loading station is provided with a product loading mechanism. The product loading mechanism includes multiple groups of product loading conveyor belts. The multiple groups of product loading conveyor belts are powered by the same power source, and each group of product loading conveyor belts is driven by an independent transmission mechanism.
[0015] Further, the cartoning station is provided with a pushing and cartoning mechanism. The pushing and cartoning mechanism includes a push plate arranged on one side of the first line body. The push plate is rotatably connected to the pushing frame. There is also a holding device that keeps the push plate at position A within a thrust of N Newtons. Position A is the position for pushing the material into the packaging box. The push plate can extend or retract towards the line body along with the pushing frame. There is also a sensor for detecting the position of the push plate.
[0016] Further, the carton corner mechanism includes 4 single-sided turntables. Defining 2 single-sided turntables as a group, there are 2 groups of single-sided turntables. The 2 groups of single-sided turntables are connected to the turntable bracket through a rotating shaft. The single-sided turntable is provided with multiple bending rods. The single-sided turntable rotates along the axial direction of the rotating shaft to carry the cartons located on the transportation mechanism to the carton loading station.
[0017] Further, the paper card loading mechanism also includes an abutting device and a limiting device. The abutting device can abut the paper cards placed on the loading conveyor belt.
[0018] The limiting device includes a vertical plate and a pressing plate. One end of the vertical plate can support the outside of the paper card, and the pressing plate can rotate relative to the vertical plate and abut the paper card.
[0019] Further, the unloading device also includes a guiding component. The guiding component is connected to the picking component. When the guiding component moves, it can drive the picking component to rotate to unload the items from the paper card loading mechanism.
[0020] The guiding component includes a long rod and a slider. One end of the long rod is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, and the other end of the long rod is slidably connected to the slider. The slider is connected to the opposite side of the material taking component through a fixed shaft;
[0021] When the long rod is horizontally arranged, the material taking component is located at the end of the paper card feeding mechanism; when the long rod is vertically arranged, the material taking component completes the material discharging.
[0022] Furthermore, the box making device includes a plurality of conveying tracks and a pressing device located at the end of the conveying tracks. The pressing device includes a plurality of horizontally arranged pressing blocks. The plurality of pressing blocks correspond to the plurality of conveying tracks one by one, and can press the paper cards located on the conveying tracks to the positioning and transferring mechanism to complete one folding, and the folded paper cards are conveyed to the handling device through the positioning and transferring mechanism.
[0023] Furthermore, the handling device includes a handling mechanism located at the positioning and transferring mechanism. The handling mechanism can secondarily fold the paper cards located on the positioning and transferring mechanism into paper boxes and transport them to the transportation mechanism;
[0024] The handling mechanism includes a first driving component and a clamping component connected to the first driving component. The clamping component includes an upper pressing plate and two side plates rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the upper pressing plate. A second driving component capable of driving the two side plates to rotate is arranged above the upper pressing plate. Through the second driving component, there are two states of opening or closing between the two side plates relative to the upper pressing plate;
[0025] When the two side plates are opened relative to the upper pressing plate, the side plates are separated from the paper cards;
[0026] When the two side plates are closed relative to the upper pressing plate, the side plates can fold the paper cards into paper boxes and clamp and fix them.
[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a paper box flipping station arranged on one side of the box loading station. The paper box flipping station includes a third line body. A right-angled triangular plate is connected to the outside of the third line body. Rollers are arranged around the right-angled triangular plate. A belt is rotatably connected through the rollers. The belt can move along the circumferential direction of the right-angled triangular plate to flip the paper box.
[0028] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:
[0029] 1. The transmission mechanism uses a driving cylinder, a one-way bearing and a gear in cooperation. When the driving shaft rotates forward, it can drive the one-way bearing to rotate, and then drive the gear and the feeding conveyor belt to move; when the driving shaft rotates reversely, the one-way bearing does not rotate, and then the feeding conveyor belt stops moving. With such a setting, it is convenient for subsequent replacement and maintenance compared with motor drive.
[0030] 2. The setting of the abutting device ensures that the paper cards placed on the loading conveyor belt abut against each other, enabling the paper cards to be neatly stacked on the loading conveyor belt and facilitating the picking and taking of the next process.
[0031] 3. The combined use of the bearing plate, the stop block and the limiting device avoids the sticking of the paper cards during the unloading process, ensuring the stability and continuity of the unloading process.
[0032] 4. The abutting device meshes with the loading conveyor belt through a rack and can be moved on the loading conveyor belt by a handle, facilitating the addition of paper cards by personnel. At the same time, it can move synchronously with the loading conveyor belt and can abut against the paper cards on the loading conveyor belt in real time.
[0033] 5. The combined use of the baffle and the guiding rod can ensure that the paper cards move more stably on the loading conveyor belt.
[0034] 6. The setting of the gantry can drive the overall movement of the picking component, enabling the picking component to move back and forth between the loading conveyor belt and the conveying track, facilitating the movement of items.
[0035] 7. Through the setting of the guiding component, the picking component can be flipped during the movement process to realize the picking and placing of items.
[0036] 8. The setting of the linear module can drive the suction cup to approach or move away from the item, facilitating the suction and placement of the item.
[0037] 9. The combined use of the side block, the cushion block, the retaining piece and the pressing block can quickly fold the paper cards.
[0038] 10. The setting of the positioning component can fix the folded paper cards, ensuring that the paper cards will not fall off during transportation.
[0039] 11. The setting of the locking block and the bearing ensures the stability of the bearing seat, avoiding instability during the folding of the paper cards.
[0040] 12. Through the combined use of the side plate and the upper pressing plate, not only can the paper cards be folded, but also the folded paper box can be clamped and fixed and carried.
[0041] 13. The combined use of the horizontal module and the vertical module can press the paper cards and at the same time carry the formed paper box.
[0042] 14. The setting of the guiding members located on the opposite sides of the transportation platform ensures that the paper boxes will not fall off during transportation on the conveyor belt and maintain a neat queue.
[0043] 15. The setting of the double-headed glue gun sprays glue on the parts where the paper cards need to mesh, facilitating the folding of the paper cards into paper boxes.
[0044] 16. The setting of the carton corner mechanism enables the carton after folding and forming to be transported to the carton loading station, connecting the entire carton-making equipment upstream of the carton corner machine with the carton loading production line downstream of the carton corner machine to complete the automated processes of carton making and carton loading.
[0045] 17. The products and packaging boxes are fed separately through separate conveyors, and the packaging is carried out by the method of pushing and packing. The efficiency is extremely high, and there is no need for a complex manipulator device. It has a long service life, low failure rate, and low cost. After packing, the carton is flipped through the carton flipping station for easy sealing.
[0046] 18. The push plate of the carton loading mechanism is rotatably connected. It can realize pushing and loading within a certain thrust. However, when the push plate hits other places or the materials are stuck, the push plate can rotate to generate displacement, and the position change is obtained through the sensor, so that it can be controlled to stop, which can protect the equipment and products.
[0047] 19. The product loading station has multiple groups of loading. Multiple groups of conveyor belts share one power source. However, each group of loading conveyor belts can be conveyed or stopped through the clutch device, that is, the function of separate loading or loading waiting can be realized at the cost of one power source, which is simple and useful.

[0087] In order to be able to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention and implement it in accordance with the content of the specification, the following combines the drawings and embodiments to further describe in detail the specific implementation manner of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0088] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description, claims and above-mentioned drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so as to implement the embodiments of the present application described herein.
[0089] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship recorded in the embodiments and shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of this invention is usually placed during use. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present invention.
[0090] This article packing production line can be used for packing cartons that meet the SIOC ① standard, or for packing cartons with general requirements.
[0091] SIOC: Short for "shipping in own container", which means "shipping with the original product packaging". It represents that the product will be shipped using the factory's original packaging instead of Amazon's overbox. The ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) 6-Amazon.com-SIOC test standard is an agreement that products of Amazon and its suppliers need to follow in Amazon's operating environment. The purpose of the test is to ensure that the supplier's products can still reach consumers intact without using the additional packaging provided by Amazon. SIOC packaging that meets this test standard will be transported to Amazon's fulfillment center (FC) for processing and storage, and finally delivered to end-users through the parcel transportation system or freight, etc.
[0092] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 18 shown, the present invention specifically relates to a SIOC item boxing production line, including
[0093] a paper card feeding mechanism 200, which is provided with multiple groups of feeding conveyor belts 210 to synchronously transport the paper cards 100;
[0094] a blanking device 300, located at the end of the paper card feeding mechanism 200, and handling the paper card 100 located at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 210 through a picking component 320;
[0095] a box making device 400, located downstream of the blanking device 300, and capable of performing a first folding on the paper card 100;
[0096] a handling device 500, located downstream of the box making device 400, capable of performing a second folding on the paper card 100 into a paper box and clamping and fixing the paper box to a transportation mechanism 530;
[0097] and a paper box corner turning mechanism 600, which is connected to the transportation mechanism 530 and capable of transporting the paper box located on the transportation mechanism 530 to the box loading production line;
[0098] The box loading production line includes a product loading station 800, a paper box loading station 700 and a box loading station 1000 arranged along the line body 900. The paper box loading station 700 is connected to the paper box corner turning mechanism 600 to convey the paper box to the line body 900; the box loading station 1000 is located outside the line body 900 and capable of assembling the items at the product loading station 800 into the paper box.
[0099] Taking the conveying direction of the paper card 100 as a reference, the blanking device 300 is located downstream of the paper card loading mechanism 200, the box making device 400 is located downstream of the blanking device 300, and the handling device 500 is located downstream of the box making device 400.
[0100] The conveying mechanism 530 is located downstream of the handling device 500, the carton corner turning mechanism 600 is located downstream of the conveying mechanism 530, and the carton loading station 700 is located downstream of the carton corner turning mechanism 600 to convey the carton to the production line 900. Similarly, the product loading station 800 is located at the head end of the production line 900 to convey the product to the production line 900. When the product and the carton are on the production line 900, the product is loaded into the carton through the carton loading station 1000 to complete the packaging process.
[0101] Among them, the function of the carton corner turning mechanism 600 is to connect the entire upstream carton manufacturing equipment with the downstream carton loading production line to achieve the purpose of automatic carton packaging.
[0102] Through the coordinated use of the paper card loading mechanism 200 and the blanking device 300, the paper card 100 is conveyed to the box making device 400. After the paper card is folded once by the box making device 400, the handling device 500 folds the paper card a second time and holds it fixed, and then transports the carton formed by folding the paper card 100 to the conveying mechanism 530. The conveying mechanism 530 transports the carton to the carton corner turning mechanism 600, and the carton corner turning mechanism 600 transports the carton to the carton loading station 700.
[0103] In addition, the paper card loading mechanism 200, the blanking device 300, the carton device 400, the handling device 500, and the conveying mechanism 530 are all arranged within a frame (not marked in the figure). The frame connects and cooperates with each component to complete folding the paper card 100 into a carton and transporting it out.
[0104] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the paper card loading mechanism 200 includes multiple groups of loading conveyor belts 210, and each group of the loading conveyor belts 210 is driven by an independent transmission mechanism 250;
[0105] Each group of the loading conveyor belts 210 is provided with the abutting device 220, and the abutting device 220 can abut multiple items placed on the loading conveyor belt 210.
[0106] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, it further includes a limiting device 230 connected to the end of the feeding conveyor belt 210. The limiting device 230 includes a vertical plate 231 and a pressing plate 234. The height from the lower end of the vertical plate 231 to the feeding conveyor belt 210 is less than the height of the article. The pressing plate 234 is connected to an eccentric block 233, and the eccentric block 233 is connected to a downward pressing air cylinder 232. The downward pressing air cylinder 232 drives the eccentric block 233 to rotate, so as to drive the pressing plate 234 to rotate relative to the vertical plate 231 and abut against the upper end of the article.
[0107] It should be noted that each group of feeding conveyor belts 210 is controlled to rotate or stop by an independent transmission mechanism 250. Personnel need to neatly place the articles on the feeding conveyor belt 210, and through the abutting device 220 connected to the feeding conveyor belt 210, abut multiple articles together. With such a setting, when multiple independent transmission mechanisms 250 operate simultaneously, the articles on the feeding conveyor belt 210 move synchronously, facilitating synchronous blanking in the next process.
[0108] Similarly, the separate control of multiple transmission mechanisms 250 facilitates personnel to add articles to each feeding conveyor belt 210 one by one, avoiding the articles from tipping over when adding articles to multiple feeding conveyor belts 210 and not being neatly arranged on the feeding conveyor belt 210.
[0109] The vertical plate 231 can support the upper end of the surface of the paper card 100, avoiding the paper card 100 from falling off at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 210 during the feeding process. The downward pressing air cylinder 232 drives the pressing plate 234 to rotate relative to the vertical plate 231 through the eccentric block 233, so that the lower end of the pressing plate 234 is pressed against the upper end of the paper card 100 to position the paper card 100 and avoid the paper card 100 from driving the subsequent paper cards 100 to break away during the blanking process.
[0110] As Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the transmission mechanism 250 includes a gear 254 provided on the conveyor belt, a one-way bearing 255 connected to the gear 254, and a rotating arm 252 connected to the one-way bearing 255. The rotating arm 252 can rotate to drive the one-way bearing 255 to drive the gear 254 to rotate, so as to drive the feeding conveyor belt 210 to rotate.
[0111] The one-way bearing 255 is connected to the gear 254 and can drive the gear 254 to rotate. The rotating arm 252 is connected to the one-way bearing 255. When the rotating arm 252 rotates forward, the one-way bearing 255 rotates and drives the gear 254 to rotate. At this time, the feeding conveyor belt 210 rotates synchronously.
[0112] In addition, when the rotating arm 252 rotates in reverse, the one-way bearing 255 does not rotate, and similarly, the feeding conveyor belt 210 stops rotating. In this way, a cycle completes the feeding of the paper cards 100 located on the feeding conveyor belt 210.
[0113] Furthermore, selecting the one-way bearing 255 can achieve real-time feeding and can also achieve self-locking.
[0114] The transmission mechanism 250 further includes a driving shaft 253. One end of the driving shaft 253 is connected to the one-way bearing 255, and the other end of the driving shaft 253 is connected to the rotating arm 252. The rotating arm 252 is movably connected to the driving cylinder 251.
[0115] Among them, the existence of the driving shaft 253 connects the rotating arm 252 and the one-way bearing 255 together. The rotating arm 252 is driven to rotate by the driving cylinder 251. When the driving cylinder 251 works, the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 251 pushes the rotating arm 252 to rotate to complete the feeding of the feeding conveyor belt 210; when the driving cylinder 251 resets, the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 251 drives the rotating arm 252 to rotate in the reverse direction, and during this process, the feeding conveyor belt 210 stops moving.
[0116] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the abutting device 220 includes a bracket 221. A rack 224 for cooperating with the feeding conveyor belt 210 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 221, and the rack 224 meshes with the feeding conveyor belt 210.
[0117] The bracket 221 meshes with the feeding conveyor belt 210 through the rack 224. With such a setting, personnel can separate the bracket 221 from the feeding conveyor belt 210 at any time, which is convenient for adding paper cards 100 to the feeding conveyor belt 210. Similarly, when the addition is completed, the bracket 221 is placed on the feeding conveyor belt 210. The bracket 221 moves synchronously with the feeding conveyor belt 210 and abuts against the paper cards 100 placed on the feeding conveyor belt 210 to ensure that the paper cards 100 on the feeding conveyor belt 210 are neat.
[0118] The bracket 221 is in a trapezoidal structure, and limiting plates 222 located on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt 210 are provided on the opposite sides of the bracket 221; a bending plate 223 is provided on the side of the bracket 221 close to the article, and the distance that the bending plate 223 extends outside the bracket 221 is equal to the distance that the limiting plate 222 extends outside the bracket 221.
[0119] The provision of the limiting plate 222 and the bending plate 223 facilitates the abutment against the paper cards 100 placed on the feeding conveyor belt 210. Both ends of the limiting plate 222 and the bending plate 223 close to the paper cards 100 have elastic parts. By abutting against the paper cards 100 through the elastic parts, multiple paper cards 100 can be stacked neatly together better.
[0120] One side of the bracket 221 is provided with a handle 225. Personnel pull the bracket 221 through the handle 225, so that the bracket 221 moves relative to the feeding conveyor belt 210, facilitating personnel to add the paper cards 100 onto the feeding conveyor belt 210.
[0121] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, baffles 240 are provided on the opposite sides of the feeding conveyor belt 210. The baffles 240 are connected to the guiding rods 241 through connecting blocks, and one end of each guiding rod 241 is arc-shaped.
[0122] The provision of the baffles 240 and the guiding rods 241 ensures that the paper cards 100 are fed more smoothly during the feeding process, without tilting, enabling the paper cards 100 to move forward stably and facilitating the feeding of the next process.
[0123] Vertical blocks 260 are provided inside the baffles 240. The ends of the vertical blocks 260 are connected to a bearing plate 261, and the upper end of the bearing plate 261 is bent;
[0124] Above the bearing plate 261, a plurality of stoppers 262 located inside the baffles 240 are provided. The plurality of stoppers 262 and the bearing plate 261 are used in cooperation to support the surface of the article.
[0125] Among them, the provision of the vertical blocks 260, the bearing plate 261 and the stoppers 262 not only supports the surface of the paper cards 100, preventing the paper cards 100 from falling off at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 210, but also prevents the subsequent paper cards 100 from being taken out simultaneously when the feeding device 300 discharges the paper cards 100.
[0126] As Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the feeding device 300 includes a guiding component 310 and a material taking component 320. The guiding component 310 is connected to the material taking component 320. When the guiding component 310 moves, it can drive the material taking component 320 to rotate to discharge the articles located on the feeding conveyor belt 210;
[0127] The guiding component 310 includes a long rod 312 and a slider 313. One end of the long rod 312 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 311, and the other end of the long rod 312 is slidably connected to the slider 313. The slider 313 is connected to the opposite side of the material taking component 320 through a fixed shaft 314;
[0128] When the long rod 312 is horizontally arranged, the material taking component 320 is located at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 210; when the long rod 312 is vertically arranged, the material taking component 320 completes the discharging.
[0129] Defining the feeding conveyor belt 210 as the upstream according to the processing procedure of the article, the discharging device 300 is located downstream of the feeding conveyor belt 210 and can carry the articles located on the feeding conveyor belt 210.
[0130] Among them, the discharging device 300 includes a guiding component 310 and a material taking component 320. The guiding component 310 and the material taking component 320 cooperate with each other and can make the material taking component 320 flip to ensure the picking or placing of the article. The material taking component 320 moves through a driving motor 325. During the movement, the material taking component 320 does not flip but only moves along the axial direction of the output shaft of the driving motor 325; by connecting the material taking component 320 to the guiding component 310; when the material taking component 320 moves, it can drive the guiding component 310 to move synchronously. Similarly, during the movement of the guiding component 310, it guides the material taking component 320 to flip.
[0131] Similarly, during the flipping process of the material taking component 320, the guiding component 310 moves synchronously to ensure that the material taking component 320 can accurately reach the picking position or the discharging position.
[0132] One end of the long rod 312 rotates on the rotating shaft 311 and can rotate along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 311. When the long rod 312 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 311, the slider 313 connected to the other end of the long rod 312 slides on the surface of the long rod 312; in addition, when the slider 313 slides on the surface of the long rod 312, the slider 313 synchronously rotates along the axial direction of the rotation following the long rod 312. Since the slider 313 is connected to the material taking component 320 through a fixed shaft 314, therefore, the material taking component 320 also rotates along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 311, and the material taking component 320 undergoes an angular flip during the rotation process.
[0133] Furthermore, the power source for the movement or flipping of the material taking component 320 is the same power source, which is all realized through the driving motor 325. When the material taking component 320 moves, it drives the long rod 312 to rotate along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 311. Similarly, when the long rod 312 rotates along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 311, the material taking component 320 flips synchronously.
[0134] The lower end of the long rod 312 and the lower end of the material taking assembly 320 are always in the same direction. Through the mutual cooperation of the long rod 312 and the slider 313, the material taking assembly 320 can accurately reach the material taking position or the feeding device 300. The long rod 312 plays a guiding role.
[0135] As Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the material taking assembly 320 includes a plurality of suction cups 321. The plurality of suction cups 321 are sequentially connected to the fixing frame 322. The fixing frame 322 is connected to the fixed shaft 314 through the fixing rod 323.
[0136] Among them, the plurality of suction cups 321 correspond to the plurality of feeding conveyor belts 210 one by one. Similarly, the plurality of suction cups 321 correspond to the plurality of conveying tracks 330 one by one, which is convenient for the suction cups 321 to carry the items on the feeding conveyor belt 210 to the conveying track 330.
[0137] In addition, the fixing rod 323 is connected to the long rod 312 through the fixed shaft 314 and the slider 313. When the slider 313 slides relative to the long rod 312, the fixing frame 322 drives the plurality of suction cups 321 to flip simultaneously to realize the taking or placing of the items.
[0138] Furthermore, the plurality of suction cups 321 are connected in series and connected to the pneumatic valve.
[0139] The material taking assembly 320 further includes a linear module 326. The linear module 326 is connected to the suction cups 321 and can drive the suction cups 321 to move, which is convenient for the taking or placing of the items.
[0140] The opposite side of the fixing rod 323 is connected to the gantry 324. The fixing rod 323 passes through the vertical end of the gantry 324 and is connected to the fixed shaft 314. The transverse end of the gantry 324 is connected to the driving motor 325.
[0141] As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, among them, the fixing rod 323 passes through the vertical end of the gantry 324 and extends outside the vertical end of the gantry 324. At the same time, the fixing rod 323 can rotate at the vertical end of the gantry 324. When the driving motor 325 drives the gantry 324 to rotate, it drives the fixing rod 323 to rotate along the axial direction of the output end of the driving motor 325.
[0142] During the operation of the fixed rod 323, the slider 313 drives the long rod 312 to rotate along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 311. At the same time, the slider 313 slides along the length direction of the long rod 312. During the sliding process, the fixed frame 322 and the suction cup 321 connected to the fixed frame 322 are driven to rotate synchronously along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 311. At this time, the fixed frame 322 and the suction cup 321 complete the flipping.
[0143] The material taking assembly 320 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the feeding conveyor belt 210.
[0144] A plurality of conveying tracks 330 are provided at the end of the material taking assembly 320, and the plurality of conveying tracks 330 are in one-to-one correspondence with the feeding conveyor belt 210.
[0145] As Figure 8 shown, a glue spraying machine 340 is provided above the conveying track 330. By providing the glue spraying machine 340, the surface of the article is coated with glue, which is convenient for the next process.
[0146] Among them, the glue spraying machine 340 is connected to a frame (not marked in the figure). Similarly, the entire blanking device 300 is located inside the frame.
[0147] When the paper card is placed on the conveying track 330 through the material taking assembly 320, the paper card is conveyed to the box making device 400 through the conveying track 330, and the paper card 10 is folded once by the box making device 400.
[0148] As Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, the box making device 400 includes a pressing device 410 located at the end of the conveying track 330. The pressing device 410 includes a plurality of horizontally arranged pressing blocks 412. The plurality of pressing blocks 412 are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of conveying tracks 330, and can press the paper card 100 located on the conveying track 330 to the positioning and transferring mechanism 420;
[0149] As Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 15 shown, the positioning and transferring mechanism 420 includes a transfer conveyor belt 421 and a plurality of positioning components 422 connected to the transfer conveyor belt 421. The positioning components 422 are located directly below the pressing blocks 412 and cooperate with the pressing blocks 412 to fix the paper card 100.
[0150] The paper card 100 moves on the conveying track 330, and the paper card 100 is conveyed by the conveying track 330 to the lower part of the pressing block 412. The paper card 100 on the conveying track 330 is pressed down onto the positioning and transferring mechanism 420 by the pressing block 412. At this time, the paper card 100 located on the positioning and transferring mechanism 420 is folded once during the pressing process. When the folded paper card 100 is fixed by the positioning component 422, the transfer conveyor belt 421 connected to the positioning component 422 rotates and transports the paper card 100 located on the positioning component 422.
[0151] Among them, the conveying track 330 and the pressing block 412 are in one-to-one correspondence. Similarly, the positioning component 422 located on the transfer conveyor belt 421 is also in one-to-one correspondence with the pressing block 412. By providing multiple conveying tracks 330, pressing blocks 412 and positioning components 422, the folding efficiency of the paper card 100 can be improved, and an automated production mode can be realized.
[0152] In addition, the positioning component 422 is used to fix the paper card 100 placed on the positioning component 422, to prevent the shape of the already folded paper card 100 from changing, and also to ensure that it will not fall off during the transportation process.
[0153] Define one pressing block 412 as a group. The pressing block 412 is provided with at least two groups. One side of the two groups of pressing blocks 412 is connected to the linear module 411, and the linear module 411 can drive the pressing block 412 to move vertically up and down.
[0154] Among them, the linear module 411 is a structure that can drive the pressing block 412 to move vertically up and down. It can be cylinder drive, screw drive, motor drive, etc. In this embodiment, motor drive is preferably used.
[0155] The linear module 411 drives the pressing block 412 to move vertically up and down, so as to press the paper card 100 placed under the pressing block 412 onto the positioning component 422. Similarly, during the pressing process, the paper card 100 has been folded. The folded paper card 100 is fixed by the positioning component 422 to prevent deformation during transportation.
[0156] As Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, a support component is provided under the pressing block 412 at the end of the conveying track 330. The support component includes two side blocks 413 symmetrically connected to the conveying track 330, a cushion block 414 on one side of the two side blocks 413, and a baffle 415 on the other side of the two side blocks 413. The two side blocks 413, the cushion block 414 and the baffle 415 enclose an opening for the pressing block 412 to pass through, so as to fold the paper card 100 to the positioning and transferring mechanism 420.
[0157] The upper end of the spacer block 414 and the upper end of the side block 413 are not in the same plane.
[0158] It should be noted that the retaining piece 415 is used to stop the paper card 100 at a specified position. The cooperation of the two side blocks 413 and the spacer block 414 ensures that when the pressing block 412 presses down on the paper card 100, it can be folded into a specified shape, and is fixed by the positioning assembly 422 to prevent the folded paper card 100 from deforming. Then, the fixed paper card 100 is transported to the next process through the transfer conveyor belt 421.
[0159] As Figure 15 and Figure 17 shown, the positioning assembly 422 includes a carrier seat 4220 connected to the transfer conveyor belt 421 and an elastic clamping assembly connected to the carrier seat 4220. The elastic clamping assembly can linearly move along the length direction of the carrier seat 4220 to abut against the paper card 100 placed on the carrier seat 4220.
[0160] The carrier seat 4220 is used to place the folded paper card 100. When the pressing block 412 moves vertically downward, it drives the paper card 100 to abut against the carrier seat 4220, so that the paper card 100 is placed on the carrier seat 4220. At this time, the paper card 100 is already in the folded state. In order to ensure that the folded state of the paper card 100 does not deform, it is necessary to fix the folded paper card 100 through the elastic clamping assembly to ensure that the paper card 100 does not fall off or deform during transportation.
[0161] In addition, in the normal state, the elastic clamping assembly is in an open state, which is convenient for the pressing block 412 to drive the paper card 100 onto the carrier seat 4220. When the paper card 100 is placed on the carrier seat 4220, the elastic clamping assembly is in a closed state, that is, the elastic clamping assembly abuts against and fixes the paper card 100 placed on the carrier seat 4220.
[0162] Two of the carrier seats 4220 are defined as a group, and there are multiple groups of the carrier seats 4220. The multiple groups of the carrier seats 4220 are arranged on the transfer conveyor belt 421 to support the paper card 100.
[0163] Using two carrier seats 4220 as a group can abut against the lower end of the paper card 100, and at the same time, it is convenient for the elastic clamping assembly connected to the carrier seat 4220 to abut against both sides of the paper card 100, ensuring that the paper card 100 is more stable on the carrier seat 4220.
[0164] As Figure 15 and Figure 17As shown, the elastic clamping assembly includes a push rod 4221 provided on the carrier 4220, an abutting block 4222 connected to one end of the push rod 4221, and an elastic component. A lateral movement module 423 is provided at the other end of the push rod 4221. The lateral movement module 423 has two states of abutting and separating relative to the push rod 4221;
[0165] When the lateral movement module 423 abuts against the push rod 4221, the push rod 4221 moves and drives the abutting block 4222 to linearly move, so that the paper card 100 is placed on the carrier 4220;
[0166] When the lateral movement module 423 separates from the push rod 4221, the elastic component drives the push rod 4221 to move in the reverse direction and drives the abutting block 4222 to linearly move, so as to abut against the paper card 100 placed on the carrier 4220.
[0167] It should be noted that the lateral movement module 423 can drive the push rod 4221 to horizontally move along the length direction of the carrier 4220. During the movement of the push rod 4221, the abutting block 4222 is driven to move synchronously, so that there are two states of abutting or separating between the abutting block 4222 and the paper card 100.
[0168] Similarly, the elastic component is located below the long rod. When the long rod moves, the elastic component can be compressed. At this time, the abutting block 4222 is in a separated state relative to the paper card 100, which is convenient for the paper card 100 to be placed on the carrier 4220.
[0169] When the force driven by the lateral movement module 423 disappears, the elasticity of the elastic component is used to drive the long rod to move in the reverse direction and drive the abutting block 4222 to move. At this time, the abutting block 4222 abuts against the paper card 100 and fixes the paper card 100.
[0170] As Figure 17 shown, the elastic component includes sliding rods 4223 symmetrically provided on the carrier 4220, springs 4224 sleeved on the sliding rods 4223, and push blocks 4225 slidably connected to the sliding rods 4223. The lower end of the push block 4225 is connected to the push rod 4221.
[0171] Among them, the push block 4225 is located on one side of the spring 4224 and can compress the spring 4224 sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod 4223. Similarly, the push block 4225 is connected to the long rod. When the long rod moves, the push block 4225 moves synchronously. By the mutual cooperation of the push block 4225 and the spring 4224, it is convenient for the long rod to reset to realize the abutting and fixing of the paper card 100.
[0172] As Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, the transfer conveyor belt 421 is rotatably connected to the conveying platform 4210. The lower end of the positioning assembly 422 is connected to the transfer conveyor belt 421 through a locking block 424. Bearings 426 are provided on opposite sides of the locking block 424. The conveying platform 4210 is provided with a chute 425 for cooperating with the bearings 426. The bearings 426 are slidably connected to the chute 425 and support the positioning assembly 422.
[0173] Among them, when the transfer conveyor belt 421 moves, the bearings 426 can move synchronously within the chute 425. By the abutment of the bearings 426 against the chute 425, the bearing capacity of the bearing seat 4220 is ensured. Similarly, when the pressing block 412 presses the paper card 100 onto the bearing seat 4220, the transfer conveyor belt 421 will not deform, and all the pressing force is borne by the conveying platform 4210.
[0174] Through the above process, the paper card 100 has completed one folding. However, the paper card 100 after one folding cannot be folded into a box. It needs to be folded a second time to form a box. Therefore, the paper card 100 on the bearing seat 4220 is transported to the handling device 500 by the transfer conveyor belt 421. The handling device 500 performs a second folding on the paper card 100 and clamps and fixes it, and synchronously transports the formed paper box.
[0175] As Figure 18 、 Figure 15 、 Figure 17 and Figure 21 shown, the handling device 500 includes a handling mechanism and a transport mechanism 530. The handling mechanism is located above the positioning and transfer mechanism 420 and can fold the paper card 100 located at the positioning and transfer mechanism 420 into a paper box, clamp and fix it, and transport it to the transport mechanism 530.
[0176] As Figure 18 、 Figure 19 and Figure 20 shown, the handling mechanism includes a first driving component 510 and a clamping component 520 connected to the first driving component 510. The clamping component 520 includes an upper pressing plate 521 and two side plates 522 rotatably connected to opposite sides of the upper pressing plate 521. Above the upper pressing plate 521, there is a second driving component capable of driving the two side plates 522 to rotate. By the second driving component, the two side plates 522 can be in two states of opening or closing relative to the upper pressing plate 521.
[0177] When the two side plates 522 are opened relative to the upper pressing plate 521, the side plates 522 are separated from the paper card 100.
[0178] When the two side plates 522 are closed relative to the upper pressing plate 521, the side plates 522 can fold the paper card 100 into a paper box and clamp and fix it.
[0179] As Figure 15 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 shown, it should be noted that, among them, the positioning and transporting mechanism 420 includes a transporting belt 421 and a plurality of positioning components 422 connected to the transporting belt 421. When the transporting belt 421 transports the paper card 100 to the handling mechanism, the positioning components 422 are in a state of fixing the paper card 100, ensuring that the paper card 100 will not move or fall off during transportation.
[0180] In addition, the positioning component 422 includes a carrier seat 4220 connected to the transporting belt 421 and an elastic clamping component 520 connected to the carrier seat 4220. The elastic clamping component 520 can linearly move along the length direction of the carrier seat 4220 to abut against the paper card 100 placed on the carrier seat 4220.
[0181] When the clamping component 520 folds and fixes the paper card 100 located on the carrier seat 4220, the elastic clamping component 520 also moves, so that the elastic clamping component 520 is separated from the paper card 100. At this time, the clamping component 520 can carry the paper box formed from the paper card 100.
[0182] Furthermore, in terms of the order of movement, the clamping component 520 moves first. When the clamping component 520 reaches position A, the elastic clamping component 520 then moves to unlock the paper card 100 placed on the carrier seat 4220.
[0183] As Figure 17 , Figure 18 and Figure 20 shown, the side plates 522 are rotatably connected to the opposite side of the upper pressing plate 521. When the first driving component 510 drives the upper pressing plate 521 to contact the paper card 100 and press the paper card 100, when the upper pressing plate 521 reaches the specified position, the elastic clamping component 520 moves to unlock the paper card 100 located on the carrier seat 4220. At this time, the second driving component drives the two side plates 522 to rotate relative to the upper pressing plate 521 to finally fold the paper card 100 into a paper box and clamp and fix it.
[0184] As Figure 20As shown, the second driving assembly includes a lifting cylinder 528 and a cross bar 526 connected to the lifting cylinder 528. The cross bar 526 is connected to the upper pressing plate 521 through a connecting rod 527 and can move vertically up and down along the height direction of the connecting rod 527. Opposite sides of the cross bar 526 are connected to the side plate 522 through a connecting assembly. When the cross bar 526 moves, the side plate 522 can be driven to rotate relative to the upper pressing plate 521 through the connecting assembly.
[0185] Among them, the first driving assembly 510 drives the entire clamping assembly 520 to move vertically or horizontally, for carrying the paper box located within the clamping assembly 520. The second driving assembly drives the clamping assembly 520 to complete the clamping action and folds the paper card 100 into a paper box.
[0186] The lifting cylinder 528 can drive the cross bar 526 to move vertically up and down. Both sides of the cross bar 526 are connected to the side plate 522 through a connecting assembly. When the lifting cylinder 528 drives the cross bar 526 to move vertically upward, the cross bar 526 drives the side plate 522 to rotate relative to the upper pressing plate 521 through the connecting assembly. At this time, the side plate 522 is arranged parallel to the upper pressing plate 521.
[0187] When the lifting cylinder 528 drives the cross bar 526 to move vertically downward, the cross bar 526 drives the side plate 522 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the upper pressing plate 521. At this time, the included angle between the side plate 522 and the upper pressing plate 521 is less than 90 degrees. In this way, the paper card 100 is finally folded into a paper box by the side plate 522, which is convenient for storing items. At the same time, the paper box is clamped and fixed, which is convenient for transportation.
[0188] The connecting assembly includes a rotating arm 524 and a guiding block 523. One end of the guiding block 523 is fixed to the outside of the side plate 522. One end of the rotating arm 524 is connected to the cross bar 526, and the other end of the rotating arm 524 is movably connected to the other end of the guiding block 523.
[0189] The rotating arm 524 is provided with a guiding groove 525 for cooperating with the guiding block 523, and the guiding block 523 can be slidably connected within the guiding groove 525.
[0190] One end of the rotating arm 524 is connected to the cross bar 526. The other end of the rotating arm 524 is slidably connected to the guiding block 523. The guiding block 523 is driven to move through the guiding groove 525 of the rotating arm 524, and further drives the side plate 522 connected to the guiding block 523 to move.
[0191] As Figure 18 and Figure 19As shown, the first driving assembly 510 includes a vertical module 512, a horizontal module 511, and a support frame 513. The vertical module 512 is connected to the horizontal module 511. One end of the support frame 513 is slidably connected to the vertical module 512, and the other end of the support frame 513 is connected to the clamping assembly 520.
[0192] Among them, both the vertical module 512 and the horizontal module 511 perform linear motion and can drive the support frame 513 to move horizontally or vertically up and down. The vertical module 512 and the horizontal module 511 drive the clamping assembly 520 to move above the paper card 100 through the support frame 513. When the clamping assembly 520 folds the paper card 100 into a paper box and clamps and fixes it, the transportation of the paper box is completed through the vertical module 512 and the horizontal module 511.
[0193] As Figure 18 shown, the direction in which the paper card 100 is conveyed is defined as the upstream. A double-headed glue gun 540 is provided upstream of the handling mechanism, and the double-headed glue gun 540 is located above the positioning and transfer mechanism 420.
[0194] The setting of the double-headed glue gun 540 is to spray glue in advance at the parts of the paper card 100 that need to be folded. When the upper pressing plate 521 and the side plate 522 cooperate to fold the paper card 100, the paper card 100 is glued into a paper box through the glue, ensuring that the paper box will not deform.
[0195] As Figure 18 and Figure 21 shown, the transportation mechanism 530 includes a transportation belt 531 and a transportation platform 532. The transportation platform 532 can drive the transportation belt 531 to rotate, facilitating the transportation of the paper box.
[0196] The height of the transportation belt 531 relative to the ground is greater than the height of the positioning and transfer mechanism 420 relative to the ground.
[0197] Guide members 533 are provided on both opposite sides of the transportation platform 532. By providing the guide members 533, it is ensured that the paper box will not shift during transportation on the transportation belt 531, avoiding falling off.
[0198] In addition, the distance between the two guide members 533 is adjustable, suitable for paper boxes of different sizes.
[0199] In summary, through the coordinated use of the paper card feeding mechanism 200 and the discharging device 300, the paper card 100 is conveyed to the box making device 400. The box making device 400 folds the paper card once, and then the handling device 500 folds the paper card a second time and clamps and fixes it. Then, the paper box formed after folding the paper card 100 is carried to the transportation mechanism 530, and the paper box is transported out through the transportation mechanism 530. Through an automated production method, the paper card is quickly folded into a paper box and carried, greatly improving the production efficiency compared to manual folding and carrying.
[0200] As Figure 2 and Figure 21 shown, the direction in which the paper box is placed on the transport belt 531 is defined as the upstream, and the downstream of the transport belt 531 is connected to the paper box corner mechanism 600. The paper box is carried to the box loading production line through the paper box corner mechanism 600, so as to facilitate loading the article into the paper box.
[0201] In the prior art, the paper box is manually folded by personnel. After the personnel manually fold the paper box, the paper boxes are uniformly placed at the paper box loading station 700. In this application, the paper card is folded into a paper box by an automated device, and the paper box is carried to the box loading production line through the paper box corner mechanism 600.
[0202] As Figure 2 shown, similarly, the paper box is conveyed to the line body 900 through the paper box loading station 700, and the product is conveyed to the line body 900 through the product loading station 800, so that the product can be loaded into the paper box at the box loading station 1000 on one side of the line body 900.
[0203] As Figure 2 and Figure 22 shown, the paper box corner mechanism 600 includes 4 single-sided turntables 640. Defining 2 single-sided turntables 640 as a group, there are 2 groups of the single-sided turntables 640. The 2 groups of single-sided turntables 640 are connected to the turntable bracket 630 through the rotating shaft 620. The single-sided turntable 640 is provided with a plurality of bending rods 610. The single-sided turntable 640 rotates along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 620 to carry the paper box located at the transportation mechanism 530 to the paper box loading station 700.
[0204] It should be noted that among them, the bending rod 610 is connected to the single-sided turntable 640, and the bending rod 610 includes a long rod 611 and a short rod 612. There are multiple groups of the long rod 611 and the short rod 612, and multiple groups of the long rod 611 and the short rod 612 are arranged alternately. Through the mutual cooperation of the short rod 612 and the long rod 611, the paper box is supported.
[0205] When the single-sided turntable 640 rotates axially along the rotating shaft 620, the long rod 611 and the short rod 612 connected to the single-sided turntable 640 rotate synchronously. At this time, the conveying mechanism 530 located upstream of the carton corner mechanism 600 conveys the carton, and the carton falls onto the surface of the long rod 611. When the single-board turntable 640 rotates, the carton moves synchronously. At this time, the carton contacts and abuts against the short rod 612 and the long rod 611 on the single-board turntable 640 in sequence. When the single-board turntable 640 rotates, the carton falls into the carton loading station 700 due to the mutual cooperation of the long rod 611 and the short rod 612. At this time, the carton has completed a 90-degree flip.
[0206] The purpose of flipping the carton is to facilitate the loading of the carton at the loading station, and at the same time reduce the floor area, facilitate the placement of more cartons, thereby improving the cartoning efficiency. In addition, due to the existence of the single-sided turntable 640, the upstream carton-making equipment can be connected to the downstream cartoning production line, realizing a fully automated operation mode.
[0207] As Figure 2 shown, with reference to the conveying direction of the line body 90, the product loading station 800 is located at the head end of the line body 900, the carton loading station 700 is located downstream of the product loading station 800, the cartoning station 1000 is located downstream of the carton loading station 700, and the carton flipping station 1100 is located downstream of the cartoning station;
[0208] As Figure 24 shown, the line body 900 includes a first line body 920 for product loading and a second line body 910 for carton loading. The first line body 920 and the second line body 910 are arranged side by side and close to each other. The side where the first line body 920 and the second line body 910 are close is defined as the inner side, and the other side is defined as the outer side;
[0209] As Figure 2 and Figure 24 shown, the cartoning stations 1000 are all located on the outer side of the first line body 920, the carton loading station 700 is located on the outer side of the second line body 910, the product loading station 800 is located at the head end of the first line body 920, and the carton flipping station 1100 is located at the end of the first line body;
[0210] This production line loads products through the product loading station 800 and loads cartons through the carton loading station 700. The two materials enter the first line body 920 and the second line body 910 respectively. The first line body 920 and the second line body 910 are arranged in parallel and close to each other. The product and the carton both run to the cartoning station 1000, and the cartoning mechanism pushes the product into the carton;
[0211] Since the cartons are inserted from the side, the packaged boxes need to be turned upright. Therefore, a carton turning station 1100 is provided at the end of the first production line 920 to turn the cartons so that their openings face upward, facilitating sealing and packing.
[0212] In the production line of the present invention, products and packaging boxes are separately loaded onto the production lines 900, and the push-packing method is used for packaging, which is extremely efficient. Moreover, no complex manipulator device is required, and it has a long service life, low failure rate, and low cost.
[0213] As Figure 2 and Figure 23 shown, the product loading station 800 is provided with a product loading mechanism 810. The product loading mechanism 810 includes multiple groups of product loading conveyor belts 811. The multiple groups of product loading conveyor belts 811 are powered by the same power source, and each group of product loading conveyor belts is driven by an independent transmission mechanism.
[0214] Among them, the product loading mechanism 810 at the product loading station 800 and the paper card loading mechanism 200 have the same function but different structures, and both are used to transport and load products and paper cards.
[0215] As Figure 2 and Figure 25 shown, the carton loading station 1000 is provided with a push-cartoning mechanism. The push-cartoning mechanism includes a push plate 1010 provided on one side of the first production line 920. The push plate 1010 is rotatably connected to the push frame 1020. A holding device is also provided to keep the push plate 1010 at position A within a thrust of N Newtons. Position A is the position for pushing materials into the packaging box. The push plate 1010 can extend or retract with the push frame 1020 towards the production line 900, and a sensor for detecting the position of the push plate 1010 is also provided.
[0216] The specific structures, connection methods, and how they cooperate with each other of the production line, product loading station 800, carton loading station 700, and carton loading station 1000 in this application are all prior arts and have been described in detail in the patents with publication numbers CN115465510A and CN115384859A. These two patents are both products of the applicant's company, and will not be described in detail here.
[0217] As Figure 2 and Figure 26As shown in the figure, the carton flipping station 1100 is located at the end of the first production line 920, and the carton flipping station 1100 includes a third production line 1110. A right-angled triangle plate 1120 is connected to the outside of the third production line 1110. Roller wheels 1130 are provided around the right-angled triangle plate 1120. A belt 1140 is rotationally connected through the roller wheels 1130. The belt 1140 can move along the circumferential direction of the right-angled triangle plate 1120 to flip the carton.
[0218] Among them, the third production line 1110 is connected to the first production line 920 to facilitate the transportation of the carton and the product placed in the carton. The right-angled triangle plate 1120 is fixed to the outside of the third production line 1110, and a wire groove is provided on the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle plate 1120. The belt 1140 can move in the wire groove to support the bottom of the carton.
[0219] In addition, when the carton containing the product is being transported on the third production line 1110, the bottom of the carton abuts against the belt 1140, and the rotation speed of the belt 1140 is the same as the transportation speed of the third production line 1110. The carton moves along the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle plate 1120, causing the carton to slowly tilt. When the carton moves to the highest position of the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle plate 1120, the carton is flipped to have its opening facing upwards at this time, and the third production line 1110 continues to transport the carton with the opening facing upwards.
[0220] With such a setting, through the cooperation of the right-angled triangle plate 1120 and the belt 1140, the carton moves along the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle plate 1120 to complete the flipping of the carton. By adopting a simple structural method, the flipping effect is achieved.
[0221] With the above structure, the folding of the carton is completed by an automated device instead of manual labor. At the same time, the product is packed into the carton by a cartoning production line instead of manual labor. Combining the two forms an automated carton-making and cartoning production line, greatly improving the work efficiency of the packaging industry. Using automation instead of manual labor reduces the error rate and ensures the standardization of the carton-making and cartoning processes.
[0222] The above embodiments are only specific implementation manners of the present invention, used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limiting it. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
