Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food and drug packaging machinery equipment, in particular to a bottle unpacking system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing ampoule unpacking machine, such as the unpacking method and unpacking system with application number 201910802583.2, includes a film cutting and removing platform, a belt cutting platform, a rotating platform, a bottle outlet platform, and a bottle conveying track. The belt cutting platform, the rotating platform, the bottle outlet platform, and the bottle conveying track are arranged in sequence. The film cutting and removing platform is arranged on one side of the belt cutting platform. The film cutting and removing platform is provided with a package pushing component. The side of the belt cutting platform away from the rotating platform is provided with a box pushing component. The rotating platform is provided with a bottle pushing component. A reciprocating bottle blocking component is arranged between the bottle conveying track and the bottle outlet platform. During the opening of the box on the rotating platform, due to the irregularity of the packaging material, the bottle pushing and protecting plate may be pressed against the folded ear edge of the opened side of the packaging box when it is lowered, causing the folded ear edge to fold inward. When the bottle moves outward, the moving ampoule may be caught, causing the equipment to stop or the product to be damaged. In addition, the cutting edge of the cutting component is flat. Due to the size deviation of the packaging material, the rubber band may not be cut or the cutting knife may be pressed against the carton. SUMMARY

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a bottle unpacking system and method that can prevent the ears from being pressed inward and caught by the moving bottle, thereby avoiding equipment downtime or product damage.

The bottle box separation platform is provided with an edge opening device for outwardly opening the front and rear folded edges of the packaging box, a lifting bottle pushing device for pushing the bottle in the packaging box, and a lifting bottle protecting device for protecting the front side of the bottle set when the lifting bottle pushing device pushes the bottle. A blowing device is arranged on the lifting bottle protecting device for blowing the ears at both ends of the folded edge outward.

[0006] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0007] The blowing device includes a wind supply mechanism and two blowing mechanisms connected to the wind supply mechanism. The two blowing mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the lifting bottle protecting device. The air outlet ends of the blowing mechanisms face the outer side of the lifting bottle protecting device.

[0008] The lifting bottle protection device comprises a translation mechanism, a bottle protection plate arranged on the translation mechanism in a lifting manner, and a first lifting driving mechanism for driving the bottle protection plate to lift.

[0009] The lifting bottle protection device comprises a translation mechanism, a bottle protection plate arranged on the translation mechanism in a lifting manner, and a first lifting driving mechanism for driving the bottle protection plate to lift.

[0010] The cutting belt device comprises a lifting mechanism, a translation mechanism arranged on the lifting mechanism, and a cutter arranged on the translation mechanism.

[0011] The upper cutting surface of the cutter is provided with a concave cutting edge.

[0012] The translation mechanism is provided with a heating mechanism for heating the cutter.

[0013] The edge opening device comprises a turnover and tilting mechanism for overturning and tilting the packaging box and a lifting edge pressing mechanism for outwardly turning and opening the front and rear side flaps of the packaging box.

[0014] The bottle unpacking system further comprises a film cutting device and a top film taking device, the top film taking device is arranged between the film cutting device and the cutting belt platform, one side of the top film taking device is provided with a waste film collecting device, one side of the cutting belt platform is provided with a waste box collecting device, and the bottle output side of the cutting belt platform is connected with a bottle conveying device.

[0015] A bottle unpacking method is adopted in the above-mentioned bottle unpacking system, and comprises the following steps:

[0016] S1, cutting belt: the packaging box is cut by the cutting belt device to cut the elastic belt between the two side ears on the cutting belt platform;

[0017] S2, pushing box: the packaging box on the cutting belt platform is pushed by the pushing box device to the bottle box separation platform;

[0018] S3, opening box: the edge opening device opens the front and rear side flaps of the packaging box.

[0019] S4, pushing bottle: the lifting bottle protection device lowers to protect the front side of the bottle set, and the blowing device is opened to blow the two ears at the ends of the side flaps outward; the lifting bottle pushing device lowers to the rear side of the bottle set; the lifting bottle pushing device and the lifting bottle protection device are synchronously moved to push the bottle set out of the packaging box.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the bottle unpacking system has the following advantages:

[0021] The production process of the bottle unpacking system of the application is as follows: the elastic band between the two side tear-off ears is cut off by the band cutting device on the band cutting platform; the packaging box on the band cutting platform is pushed to the bottle box separation platform by the box pushing device; the side opening device opens the front and rear side flaps of the packaging box; the bottle protecting device is lowered to protect the front side of the bottle set, and the blowing device is opened to blow the tear-off ears at the two ends of the side flaps (that is, during the lowering process of the bottle protecting device, the blowing device is opened to blow the tear-off ears at the two ends of the side flaps); the bottle pushing device is lowered to the rear side of the bottle set; the bottle pushing device and the bottle protecting device are synchronously moved to push the bottle set out of the packaging box. Since the blowing device is opened to blow the tear-off ears at the two ends of the side flaps during the lowering process of the bottle protecting device, the tear-off ears of the outwardly opened side flaps are avoided to be pressed by the bottle protecting device, and the tear-off ears are prevented from hanging on the moving bottle body during the bottle pushing process, which causes the equipment to stop or the product to be damaged.

[0022] The bottle unpacking method of the application avoids the tear-off ears of the outwardly opened side flaps to be pressed by the bottle protecting device during the lowering process of the bottle protecting device, and prevents the tear-off ears from hanging on the moving bottle body during the bottle pushing process, which causes the equipment to stop or the product to be damaged.

[0036] Example one:

[0037] Figures 1 to 5An embodiment of the bottle unpacking system is shown. The bottle unpacking system comprises a cutting belt platform 1 and a bottle box separating platform 2, a box pushing device 3 is arranged between the cutting belt platform 1 and the bottle box separating platform 2, a cutting belt device 4 is arranged on each side of the cutting belt platform 1, the bottle box separating platform 2 is provided with an edge opening device 6 for opening the front and rear side flaps 51 of the outer opening packaging box 5, a lifting bottle pushing device 7 for pushing the bottles in the packaging box 5, and a lifting bottle protecting device 8 for protecting the front side of the bottle set when the lifting bottle pushing device 7 pushes the bottles, and a blowing device 9 is arranged on the lifting bottle protecting device 8 for blowing the two ends of the ear 52 of the flaps 51 outward.

[0038] The production process of the bottle unpacking system is as follows: the elastic belt between the two ears 52 of the packaging box 5 is cut by the cutting belt device 4 on the cutting belt platform 1; the packaging box 5 on the cutting belt platform 1 is pushed to the bottle box separating platform 2 by the box pushing device 3; the front and rear side flaps 51 of the outer opening packaging box 5 are opened by the edge opening device 6; the lifting bottle protecting device 8 is lowered to protect the front side of the bottle set, and the blowing device 9 is opened to blow the two ends of the ear 52 of the flaps 51 outward (i.e. during the lowering of the lifting bottle protecting device 8, the blowing device 9 is opened to blow the two ends of the ear 52 of the flaps 51 outward); the lifting bottle pushing device 7 is lowered to the rear side of the bottle set; the lifting bottle pushing device 7 and the lifting bottle protecting device 8 are synchronously moved to push the bottle set out of the packaging box 5. Since the blowing device 9 is opened to blow the two ends of the ear 52 of the flaps 51 outward during the lowering of the lifting bottle protecting device 8, the ear 52 of the flaps 51 that is opened outward is not pressed by the lifting bottle protecting device 8, and the ear 52 is not hung on the moving bottle during the pushing of the bottle, which causes the equipment to stop or the product to be damaged.

[0039] Further, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the blowing device 9 comprises a wind supply mechanism and two blowing mechanisms 91 connected with the wind supply mechanism, the two blowing mechanisms 91 are arranged on the two sides of the lifting bottle protecting device 8, and the air outlet ends of the blowing mechanisms 91 are directed to the outside of the lifting bottle protecting device 8. The wind supply mechanism supplies wind to the blowing mechanisms 91, and the blowing mechanisms 91 blow the wind to the outside of the lifting bottle protecting device 8. The two blowing mechanisms 91 are arranged on the two sides of the lifting bottle protecting device 8, and the air outlet ends of the blowing mechanisms 91 are directed to the outside of the lifting bottle protecting device 8. In this way, during the process of the lifting bottle protecting device 8 protecting the bottles, the air outlet ends of the two blowing mechanisms 91 blow to the inside of the two ends of the ear 52 of the flaps 51, respectively, so that the ear 52 is turned outward and is not pressed by the lifting bottle protecting device 8.

[0040] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the lifting bottle protection device 8 includes a translation mechanism 81, a bottle protection plate 82 arranged on the translation mechanism 81 and a first lifting driving mechanism 83 for driving the bottle protection plate 82 to lift, and two blowing mechanisms 91 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the bottle protection plate 82. During the bottle protection process, the first lifting driving mechanism 83 drives the bottle protection plate 82 to descend and protect the front side (the side away from the cutting belt platform 1) of the bottle set on the opened packaging box 5, and during the descending process of the bottle protection plate 82, the air outlets of the two blowing mechanisms 91 respectively blow towards the inner sides of the two ends of the ear 52 of the folded edge 51, so that the ear 52 is everted to avoid being pressed by the bottle protection plate 82. During the bottle pushing process, the bottle protection plate 82 moves forward synchronously with the lifting bottle pushing device 7 to push the bottle set out of the packaging box 5.

[0041] Further, in the embodiment, the lifting bottle pushing device 7 includes a bottle pushing plate 71 arranged on the translation mechanism 81 and a second lifting driving mechanism 72 for driving the bottle pushing plate 71 to lift. During the bottle pushing process, the second lifting driving mechanism 72 drives the bottle pushing plate 71 to descend and push the rear side (the side close to the cutting belt platform 1) of the bottle set on the opened packaging box 5, and the bottle protection plate 82 moves forward synchronously with the bottle pushing plate 71 to push the bottle set out of the packaging box 5. The bottle pushing plate 71 and the bottle protection plate 82 are both arranged on the translation mechanism 81, which facilitates synchronous movement.

[0042] Further, in the embodiment, the cutting belt device 4 includes a lifting mechanism 41, a translation mechanism 42 arranged on the lifting mechanism 41 and a cutting knife 43 arranged on the translation mechanism 42. The lifting mechanism 41 descends to make the upper part of the cutting knife 43 pull the lower part of the rubber band on the side edge of the packaging box 5, the translation mechanism 42 moves forward to make the cutting knife 43 close to the edge of the box, and then the lifting mechanism 41 rises, during which the upper knife face of the cutting knife 43 cuts the upper part of the rubber band.

[0043] Further, in order to prevent the overpressure from damaging the bottle in the packaging box 5, a buffer spring is arranged between the cutting knife 43 and the translation mechanism 42. Further, the translation mechanism 42 is a pneumatic cylinder mechanism controlled by a quick insertion pressure regulating valve, and the quick insertion pressure regulating valve controls the pressure of the pneumatic cylinder mechanism.

[0044] Further, in the embodiment, the upper knife face of the cutting knife 43 is provided with a concave knife edge 431. This facilitates the hooking of the pulled rubber band and avoids the situation that the rubber band cannot be cut or the cutting knife is pressed to the paper box. Preferably, the knife edge 431 is in a V shape.

[0045] Further, in the embodiment, the translation mechanism 42 is provided with a heating mechanism 44 for heating the cutting knife 43. The heating mechanism 44 can heat the cutting knife 43 to make the cutting knife 43 cut hot, which facilitates the cutting of the pulled rubber band.
