Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automated equipment and relates to liquor packaging technology, specifically a continuous liquor boxing machine that uses a top-opening packaging box. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of automated equipment performance and the increasing production capacity and speed of the liquor production lines, the demand for automated packaging equipment is constantly growing. Liquor packaging boxes come in various forms, among which flip-top boxes, due to their folding structure, require multiple actions from the packaging machine: opening the lid, filling the bottle, capping, and inserting the flap. While the cardboard boxes themselves are exquisite, they are relatively fragile. Existing equipment uses fixed stations on continuous conveyor lines to perform a series of actions such as opening, filling, and capping. During this process, the continuous transport of the boxes makes it difficult to achieve precise coordination between the robotic arm and the boxes. Especially during the opening and capping steps, the flaps can easily cause the boxes to crack, resulting in packaging damage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a scientifically designed, structurally sound, safe and reliable continuous liquor packaging machine using a top-opening packaging box.

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A continuous liquor boxing machine using a top-opening packaging box is characterized by comprising a liquor box conveyor belt, a liquor bottle conveyor belt, a liquor box positioning and conveying mechanism, a follow-up opening mechanism, a liquor bottle gripping and conveying mechanism, and a follow-up capping mechanism. Both the liquor box conveyor belt and the liquor bottle conveyor belt are horizontally arranged, and their transmission directions are opposite. A liquor box positioning and conveying mechanism is installed between the liquor box conveyor belt and the liquor bottle conveyor belt, adjacent to the side of the liquor box conveyor belt. Above the liquor box positioning and conveying mechanism, the follow-up opening mechanism, the liquor bottle gripping and conveying mechanism, and the follow-up capping mechanism are arranged sequentially from the liquor box input direction to the liquor box output direction. A finished product output table is connected to the output end of the liquor box conveyor belt.

[0006] Furthermore, the gripper of the bottle grabbing mechanism rotates cyclically, and fixed-distance bottle separating components are installed on both sides of the bottle conveyor belt corresponding to the bottle grabbing station of the bottle grabbing mechanism to grab the bottles on the bottle conveyor belt and place them into the wine boxes on the wine box conveyor belt.

[0007] Furthermore, a fixed-distance box-separating assembly is installed on the wine box conveyor belt before the follow-up lid-closing mechanism, and a clamping belt is installed near the input end of the wine box conveyor belt before the fixed-distance box-separating assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, a detection device is installed at the connection between the wine box conveyor belt and the finished product output platform, and the detection device is connected to the rejection mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the follow-up opening mechanism includes a shelf, axles, an opening chain, columns, guide blocks, suction cups, and an opening ring track. The upper and lower shelves are arranged at intervals. Two vertically arranged axles are installed at intervals on both sides of the horizontal axis between the upper and lower shelves. Sprockets are installed on both sides of the axles, and opening chains are installed on the axles on both sides. The opening chains of the upper and lower shelves rotate synchronously. Multiple columns are evenly distributed on the outer periphery between the upper and lower shelves. The upper and lower ends of the columns are fixed to the links of the opening chain by connecting plates. Guide blocks are slidably installed on each column. A suction cup fixing rod is installed at the lower front end of the guide block, and a suction cup is installed at the lower end of the suction cup fixing rod. An opening ring track is fixed between the upper and lower shelves. The ring track has a downward concave arc at the opening position. The rear end of the guide block is slidably limited and supported within the opening ring track.

[0010] Furthermore, the follow-up cap-fastening mechanism includes a frame, a first track, a second track, a folding tongue pressing component, a folding tongue pressing block, a cap-fastening pressing component, a cap-fastening pressing head, a servo motor, and a limiting plate. The frame is equipped with a second track and a first track arranged at intervals. Both the first and second tracks are circular tracks. Multiple folding tongue pressing components are installed in the first track for limiting movement, and a folding tongue pressing block is fixedly installed at the lower end of each folding tongue pressing component. Multiple cap-fastening pressing components are installed in the second track for limiting movement, and a cap-fastening pressing head is fixedly installed at the lower end of each cap-fastening pressing component. The cap-fastening pressing components and the folding tongue pressing components correspond one-to-one and move synchronously. A servo motor is installed at the upper end of the frame to drive the cap-fastening pressing components and the folding tongue pressing components to move synchronously along their respective tracks. A limiting plate is installed on the lower part of one side of the frame to limit the cap of the wine box.

[0011] Furthermore, the wine box positioning and conveying mechanism includes a wine box conveying frame, a wine box drive chain, a protective plate bracket, a protective plate, a stop block, and a stop bar. The wine box conveying frame is a long strip-shaped mechanism set on one side of the wine box conveyor belt, parallel to the wine box conveyor belt. Two parallel and synchronously moving wine box drive chains are set inside the wine box conveying frame. Multiple protective plate brackets are evenly spaced on the wine box drive chains. The upper and lower ends of the protective plate brackets are respectively fixed to the corresponding links on the upper and lower wine box drive chains. A cantilevered protective plate is fixed in the middle of the protective plate bracket. A stop block is fixed in the middle of the link between adjacent protective plate brackets, and a limiting step is made on the stop block. A stop bar is horizontally fixed on both the upper and lower sides between the protective plates. The two ends of the stop bar extend to the outer sides of the stop block and can abut against the limiting step of the stop block.

[0012] The advantages and positive effects of this invention are:

[0013] This technical solution features a reasonable and compact overall layout. Both the opening and closing of the wine box utilize a follow-up mechanism that moves synchronously with the box, effectively protecting the box structure and preventing damage caused by mechanical movements. Furthermore, it employs a unique box positioning and conveying mechanism to ensure precise box transport. This allows the opening, bottling, and closing mechanisms to accurately coordinate with the box's positioning, achieving precise transport, opening, and closing, ensuring packaging quality, preventing box damage, and maintaining processing efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following embodiments are merely descriptive and not limiting, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] For ease of description, in this embodiment, the opening end of the bottom cover plate is taken as the front end of the mechanism, the horizontal relative position is described as the rear end, and the left and right sides are described as the horizontal sides.

[0023] A continuous liquor boxing machine using a top-opening packaging box includes a box conveyor belt 1, a bottle conveyor belt 5, a box positioning and conveying mechanism 9, a follow-up cap opening mechanism 10, a bottle gripping and conveying mechanism 3, and a follow-up cap fastening mechanism 8.

[0024] Both the wine box conveyor belt 1 and the wine bottle conveyor belt 5 are horizontally arranged, and their transmission directions are opposite.

[0025] A wine box positioning and conveying mechanism 9 is installed on the side of the wine box conveyor belt 1, between the wine box conveyor belt 1 and the wine bottle conveyor belt 5, to ensure accurate positioning of the wine box during conveying.

[0026] Above the wine box positioning and conveying mechanism 9, from the wine box input direction to the wine box output direction, are arranged sequentially a follow-up cap opening mechanism 10, a wine bottle gripping and conveying mechanism 3, and a follow-up cap fastening mechanism 8.

[0027] The gripper of the bottle grabbing mechanism 3 rotates cyclically. The bottle grabbing mechanism 3 has fixed-distance bottle separating components 4 installed on both sides of the bottle conveyor belt 5 corresponding to the grabbing station. In this embodiment, a twin-screw fixed-distance bottle separating mechanism is used to grab the bottles on the bottle conveyor belt 5 and place them in the wine boxes on the wine box conveyor belt 1.

[0028] A fixed-distance box-separating assembly 11 is installed on the wine box conveyor belt 1 before the follow-up lid-closing mechanism 8. In this embodiment, a twin-screw fixed-distance box-separating assembly 11 is used. A clamping belt 2 is installed before the fixed-distance box-separating assembly 11 at the input end near the wine box conveyor belt 1 to prevent excessive pressure from stacking the wine boxes.

[0029] A finished product output platform 6 is connected to the output end of the wine box conveyor belt 1. A detection device 7 is installed at the connection between the wine box conveyor belt 1 and the finished product output platform 6. The detection device 7 is connected to the rejection mechanism to detect whether the box lid is fastened properly. For unqualified products such as unfastened box lid, bottles without boxes, or boxes without bottles, the rejection mechanism will divert and export the unqualified products.

[0030] See appendix Figure 2As shown, the follow-up opening mechanism 10 includes a shelf 101, axles 102, opening chains 103, columns 105, guide blocks 104, suction cups 108, and an opening ring track 106. The upper and lower shelf plates 101 are arranged at intervals. Two vertically arranged axles 102 are installed at intervals on both sides of the horizontal axis between the upper and lower shelf plates 101. Sprockets are installed on both the upper and lower sides of each axle 102, and opening chains 103 are installed on the upper and lower axles respectively. The opening chains 103 of the upper and lower layers rotate synchronously. Multiple columns 105 are evenly distributed around the outer periphery between the upper and lower shelf plates 101. The upper... The upper and lower ends are respectively fixed to the links of the opening chain 103 by connecting plates. Guide blocks 104 are slidably installed on the column 105. A suction cup 108 fixing rod 107 is installed at the lower front end of the guide block 104. The upper end of the suction cup 108 fixing rod 107 is connected to the air pipe, and the lower end of the suction cup 108 fixing rod 107 is installed with a suction cup 108. An opening ring track 106 is fixed between the upper and lower layers 101. The ring track 106 has a downward concave arc at the opening position. The rear end of the guide block 104 is slidably limited and supported in the opening ring track 106. The column 105 moves with the opening chain 103, thereby driving the guide block 104 to move along the ring track 106.

[0031] See appendix Figure 3 The follow-up cap-fastening mechanism 8 shown includes a frame 801, a first track 803, a second track 805, a flap pressing assembly 802, a flap pressing block 809, a cap-fastening pressing assembly 804, a cap-fastening pressing head 808, and a servo motor 806. The frame 801 is equipped with the second track 805 and the first track 803, which are spaced vertically. Both the first track 803 and the second track 805 are circular tracks 106. Multiple flap pressing blocks are installed within the first track 803 for limited movement. The pressing component 802 has a folding tongue pressing block 809 fixedly installed at its lower end; multiple cover pressing components 804 are installed in the second track 805 for limited movement, and cover pressing heads 808 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the cover pressing components 804; the cover pressing components 804 and the folding tongue pressing components 802 correspond one-to-one and move synchronously; a servo motor 806 is installed at the upper end of the frame 801 to drive the cover pressing components 804 and the folding tongue pressing components 802 to move synchronously along their respective tracks.

[0032] The drive structure inside the frame 801 is similar to the drive mechanism of the follow-up cover opening mechanism 10. The frame 801 includes upper and lower shelf plates 101, which are arranged at intervals. Two vertically arranged axles 102 are installed at intervals on both sides of the upper and lower shelf plates 101. Sprockets are installed on both the upper and lower sides of the axles 102. Cover opening chains 103 are respectively installed on the upper and lower axles 102. The cover opening chains 103 of the upper and lower layers rotate synchronously. Multiple columns 105 are evenly distributed on the outer periphery between the upper and lower shelf plates 101. The upper and lower ends of the columns 105 are respectively fixed to the links of the cover opening chains 103 through connecting plates. The corresponding cover pressing components 804 and the folding tongue pressing components 802 are coaxially slidably fitted on the same columns 105, so as to move synchronously with the columns 105. A limiting plate 807 is installed on the lower side of one side of the frame 801. The limiting plate 807 is used to limit the lid of the wine box. The wine box is guided through the limiting plate 807. The folding tongue pressing block 809 cooperates with the limiting plate 807 to insert the folding tongue into the box body. Then, the lid-closing pressing head 808 closes the lid. The limiting plate 807 is set parallel to the first track 803 above it. When the wine box is conveyed by the conveying mechanism past the position of the limiting plate 807, the conveying direction is parallel to the limiting plate 807. The limiting plate 807 includes a limiting plate 807 bracket and a side plate. The height of the limiting plate 807 is the same as the height of the folding tongue. The length of the limiting plate 807 covers three stations. The three stations correspond to the folding tongue entering the limiting plate 807, the folding tongue pressing block 809 abutting the folding tongue, and the folding tongue pressing block 809 pressing the folding tongue to form a right-angle crease. At the fourth station, the folding tongue separates from the limiting plate 807, at which time the lid-closing pressing block moves down.

[0033] To avoid clutter in the accompanying drawings, only a portion of the folding tongue pressing component 802 and the cover pressing component 804 are shown in the drawings of this embodiment. In actual use, each set of guide rods is equipped with a corresponding folding tongue pressing component 802 and a cover pressing component 804.

[0034] See appendix Figure 4 , 5As shown, the wine box positioning and conveying mechanism 9 includes a wine box conveyor frame 901, a wine box drive chain 904, a guard plate 902 bracket, a guard plate 902, a stop block 905, and a stop bar 906. The wine box conveyor frame 901 is a long strip-shaped mechanism set on one side of the wine box conveyor belt 1. The wine box conveyor frame 901 is parallel to the wine box conveyor belt 1. Two parallel and synchronously moving wine box drive chains 904 are set inside the wine box conveyor frame 901. Multiple guard plate 902 brackets are evenly spaced on the wine box drive chain 904. The upper and lower ends of the guard plate 902 bracket are respectively fixed to the corresponding links on the upper and lower wine box drive chains 904. A cantilevered guard plate 902 is fixed in the middle of the guard plate 902 bracket. The guard plate 902 has a vertical flat plate structure. The spacing between adjacent guard plates 902 matches the width of the wine box. During operation, the guard plate 902 clamps the input and output sides of the wine box. A guardrail 903 is set on the other side of the wine box conveyor belt 1. The guardrail 903 and the guard plate 902 together limit and support the wine box and fix the position of the wine box.

[0035] A stop block 905 is fixedly installed in the middle of each link between adjacent guard plate 902 brackets, and a limiting step is made on each stop block 905; and a stop bar 906 is fixedly installed laterally on the upper and lower sides between the guard plates 902, with both ends of the stop bar 906 extending to the outer sides of the stop block 905 and abutting against the limiting step of the stop block 905. The limiting steps on the upper and lower sides are symmetrically arranged. Through the cooperation of the stop bar 906 and the stop block 905, the shaking of the guard plate 902 caused by the shaking of the chain links in the chain drive can be effectively eliminated, thereby ensuring the accurate positioning and transmission of the wine box.

[0036] Although embodiments and drawings of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will understand that various substitutions, variations and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments and drawings.
