Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material packaging technology, and in particular relates to a mold alignment and adjustment method and packaging equipment applied to packaging equipment. [Background Technology]

[0002] In existing packaging equipment, the product is first loaded into a first container and then placed together in the container mold's placement position. A robotic arm then picks up a second packaging material from a material frame and places it onto the first container in the placement position. A pressing device then fuses the first container and seals it. When packaging different products, the size and position of the container mold change. Therefore, the outlet position of the material frame needs to be adjusted to correspond to the container mold's placement position. Currently, this is done manually by visual inspection and through multiple adjustments, which is not only inefficient and time-consuming but also fails to guarantee packaging accuracy. [Summary of the Invention]

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding and mixing method for packaging equipment that improves mixing efficiency, mixing accuracy, production efficiency, and ensures packaging processing precision.

[0004] This invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0006] S1: Install the container mold of the product to be packaged on the workstation turntable. The container mold has a placement position.

[0007] S2: Set a base positioning component above the container mold. Adjust the position of the material frame outlet by adjusting the base positioning component so that the loading and unloading mechanism can accurately transfer the packaging material in the material frame to the placement position after lifting or translating.

[0008] As described above, in a mold alignment and base adjustment method for packaging equipment, the material frame includes a first material frame disposed around the turntable at the workstation, the loading and unloading mechanism includes a first loading and unloading mechanism disposed on the workbench, and the base adjustment positioning component includes a base adjustment positioning plate with a base adjustment through hole. Step S2, adjusting the material frame outlet position using the base adjustment positioning component, includes the following steps:

[0009] S21: Place the base positioning plate on the first material rack of the first material frame, and adjust the position of the base positioning plate so that the base through hole is opposite to the placement position;

[0010] S22: Move the adjusted base positioning plate along the direction of movement of the first loading and unloading mechanism on the first material rack to above the discharge port of the first material frame;

[0011] S23: Adjust the position of the first material frame outlet so that the first material frame outlet is opposite to the adjustment base through hole.

[0012] As described above, in a mold alignment and adjustment method for packaging equipment, the first material frame further includes a raw material limiting mechanism. The raw material limiting mechanism includes a raw material limiting plate movably mounted on the first material rack, and a plurality of raw material limiting posts mounted on the raw material limiting plate. The plurality of raw material limiting posts together form the discharge port of the first material frame. Adjusting the position of the discharge port of the first material frame in step S23 includes the following steps:

[0013] S231: Adjust the raw material limiting column relative to the raw material limiting plate along the length of the first material rack;

[0014] S232: Adjust the raw material limiting column relative to the raw material limiting plate along the width direction of the first material rack;

[0015] S233: The raw material limiting mechanism also includes a limiting plate lifting mechanism, which lifts the raw material limiting plate to adjust the height of the raw material limiting column.

[0016] As described above, in a mold alignment and base adjustment method for packaging equipment, the material frame includes a second material frame disposed on a workbench, and a second loading / unloading mechanism disposed between the second material frame and a station turntable for loading and unloading raw materials from the second material frame onto the station turntable. The base adjustment positioning component includes a base adjustment positioning rod. The step S2, adjusting the material frame outlet position using the base adjustment positioning component, includes the following steps:

[0017] S24: Set a base positioning post on the container mold and on the periphery of the placement position;

[0018] S25: Set one end of the base positioning rod on the container mold corresponding to the base positioning post, and extend the other end into the second material frame. Adjust the position of the second material frame so that the second raw material limiting post of the second material frame is sleeved on the upper base positioning rod so that the outlet of the second material frame is opposite to the placement position.

[0019] As described above, in a mold alignment and adjustment method for packaging equipment, the station turntable is provided with a plurality of mold positioning holes, and at least two of the mold positioning holes are provided with mold positioning posts that can be connected to the container mold.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. This invention provides a mold alignment and adjustment method for packaging equipment. The packaging equipment includes a workbench, a rotating workstation turntable on the workbench, a material frame, and a loading and unloading mechanism. During alignment, the container mold of the product to be packaged is first installed on the workstation turntable. An alignment positioning component is set above the container mold. The position of the material frame outlet is adjusted by the alignment positioning component so that the loading and unloading mechanism accurately transfers the packaging material in the material frame to the placement position after lifting or translating. This improves alignment efficiency, accuracy, and production efficiency, and ensures packaging processing precision.

[0022] The present invention also provides a packaging device, which uses the feeding and conditioning method described in any one of the above claims for conditioning, the packaging device comprising:

[0023] work stand;

[0024] A workstation turntable is rotatably mounted on the workbench, and multiple workstations are provided on the workstation turntable along the rotation direction;

[0025] A turntable drive mechanism, which is mounted on the workbench, is used to drive the turntable at the workstation to rotate.

[0026] The positioning detection mechanism is located between the workbench and the workstation turntable and is electrically connected to the turntable drive mechanism. It is used to detect the rotation positioning status of the workstation turntable.

[0027] A turntable positioning mechanism is located between the workbench and the workstation turntable and is electrically connected to the positioning detection mechanism to limit the rotation of the workstation turntable.

[0028] The packaging equipment described above further includes:

[0029] The first material frame is hinged on the workbench and located on the circumference of the rotation axis of the workstation turntable. The first material frame can be flipped upward to a folded state or flipped downward to an unfolded state around the hinge axis.

[0030] The first loading and unloading mechanism is located on the workbench and is used to transfer the raw materials on the first material frame to the workstation turntable for processing and to remove the finished products processed on the workstation turntable.

[0031] As described above, in a packaging device, the first material frame includes:

[0032] The first material rack is hinged to the workbench;

[0033] A lifting mechanism is placed on the first material rack and used to place and lift the raw materials;

[0034] The raw material limiting mechanism includes a raw material limiting plate movably mounted on a first material rack, a plurality of raw material limiting columns mounted on the raw material limiting plate, and a limiting plate lifting mechanism mounted on the first material rack for pushing the raw material limiting plate.

[0035] As described above, in a packaging device, the first loading and unloading mechanism includes:

[0036] The loading and unloading frame is mounted on the workbench and located above the station turntable;

[0037] The first loading and unloading assembly is mounted on the loading and unloading frame and is used to grab raw materials and processed finished products.

[0038] A loading / unloading drive unit, which is mounted on the loading / unloading frame, is used to drive the first loading / unloading assembly to move in the vertical direction;

[0039] A loading / unloading guide assembly is disposed between the loading / unloading frame and the first loading / unloading assembly;

[0040] The first loading and unloading assembly includes a first loading and unloading mounting base horizontally mounted on the loading and unloading frame, a double-headed telescopic cylinder mounted on the first loading and unloading mounting base, a first adsorption component and a second adsorption component respectively mounted on the two telescopic ends of the double-headed telescopic cylinder, a telescopic guide sleeve parallel to the double-headed telescopic cylinder mounted on the first loading and unloading mounting base, and a telescopic guide rod movably mounted on the telescopic guide sleeve and connected at both ends to the first adsorption component and the second adsorption component respectively.

[0041] The packaging equipment described above further includes a second material frame disposed on a workbench and a second loading / unloading mechanism disposed between the second material frame and a station turntable for picking up and placing raw materials from the second material frame onto the station turntable. The second loading / unloading mechanism includes a flipping material picking structure for grabbing raw materials from the second material frame and flipping the raw materials so that the grabbed raw materials face the station turntable.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0043] 1. The packaging equipment of the present invention includes a workbench, a workstation turntable rotatably mounted on the workbench, a turntable drive mechanism for driving the workstation turntable to rotate, a position detection mechanism for detecting the position of the workstation turntable, and a turntable positioning mechanism for limiting the rotation of the workstation turntable. In use, the turntable drive mechanism drives the workstation turntable to rotate. After the position detection mechanism detects that the workstation turntable has rotated to the position corresponding to the sealing position and the pressing mold, the turntable drive mechanism stops working, causing the workstation turntable to stop. The turntable positioning mechanism positions the workstation turntable, ensuring accurate positioning and preventing the workstation turntable from rotating during processing. This ensures the rotation angle of the workstation turntable, improves processing quality, and the turntable drive mechanism of this equipment can use a conventional drive motor, eliminating the need for a specific servo motor, thus reducing costs.

[0044] 2. The packaging equipment of the present invention includes a work platform, a workstation turntable rotatably mounted on the work platform, a first material frame hinged on the work platform, and a first loading and unloading mechanism. In use, the first material frame can be directly flipped downward around the hinge axis to the unfolded state without adjusting its position, making it very convenient to use. At the same time, the first loading and unloading mechanism automatically transfers the raw materials on the first material frame to the workstation turntable for processing and removes the processed finished products from the workstation turntable, resulting in high production efficiency. When not in use, the first material frame can be flipped upward around the hinge axis to fold back on the work platform, reducing the floor space required.

[0045] 3. The packaging equipment of the present invention includes a work platform, a workstation turntable rotatably mounted on the work platform, a second material frame mounted on the work platform, and a second loading / unloading mechanism disposed between the second material frame and the workstation turntable for picking up and placing raw materials from the second material frame onto the workstation turntable. The second loading / unloading mechanism includes a flipping material picking structure. In use, the flipping material picking structure picks up the raw materials from the second material frame and flips the raw materials so that the picked-up raw materials face upwards and are placed on the corresponding workstation of the workstation turntable. There is no need to adjust the position of the second material frame, achieving accurate material picking and making it very convenient to use. At the same time, when not in use, the second material frame is on the work platform, reducing the space occupied.

[0046] 4. In addition, the flipping drive mechanism includes a drive mounting base, a drive slider, a flipping linkage, an elastic pusher, and a flipping drive component. In use, the flipping drive component drives the drive slider to move on the drive mounting base. The movement of the drive slider is the movement of the arc-shaped slide groove, which in turn pushes the linkage end extending into the arc-shaped slide groove to move along the arc-shaped slide groove, thereby driving the flipping linkage to rotate and realize the flipping shaft flipping. When the third suction component faces the second material frame, the linkage end is located at one end of the arc-shaped slide groove and compresses the elastic pusher. During flipping, the flipping drive component needs to drive the linkage end to move to the other end of the arc-shaped slide groove. At this time, the elastic pusher resets and applies a pushing force to the linkage end, so that the linkage end moves smoothly. Similarly, when flipping to the point where the third suction component faces the second material frame, the linkage end compresses the elastic pusher at the other end of the arc-shaped slide groove. Due to the reset and pushing of the elastic pusher, the linkage end moves smoothly back and forth in the arc-shaped slide groove without jamming. [Attached Image Description]

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0065] To make the technical problems solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0066] When ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention, unless they actually express the meaning of order according to the context, they should be understood as being used only for differentiation.

[0067] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0068] Specific Implementation Example 1, such as Figure 1-8The packaging equipment shown includes: a work platform 1; a workstation turntable 2 rotatably mounted on the work platform 1, the workstation turntable 2 having multiple workstations along the rotation direction; a turntable drive mechanism 11 mounted on the work platform 1 for driving the workstation turntable 2 to rotate; a positioning detection mechanism 12 located between the work platform 1 and the workstation turntable 2 and electrically connected to the turntable drive mechanism 11 for detecting the rotation positioning status of the workstation turntable 2; and a turntable positioning mechanism 13 located between the work platform 1 and the workstation turntable 2 and electrically connected to the positioning detection mechanism 12 for restricting the rotation of the workstation turntable 2. In use, the turntable drive mechanism drives the station turntable to rotate. After the station turntable rotates to the position corresponding to the sealing station and the pressing mold, the turntable drive mechanism stops working, bringing the station turntable to a stop. The turntable positioning mechanism then positions the station turntable to ensure precise positioning and prevents it from rotating during processing. This ensures the accuracy of the station turntable's rotation angle and improves processing quality. Furthermore, the turntable drive mechanism of this equipment can use a conventional drive motor, eliminating the need for specific high-cost servo motors, indexing plates, or other equipment, thus reducing costs.

[0069] Specifically, the multiple stations on the turntable 2 include a first station for placing shell material, a second station for placing cardboard material on the shell material, a molding station for connecting the shell material and cardboard material, and a third station for removing the finished product. The angle between adjacent stations is 90°. In use, the shell material is placed at the first station, and the turntable drive mechanism drives the turntable to rotate. The positioning mechanism and the positioning mechanism ensure that the turntable rotates 90°, so that the position of the shell material placed at the first station reaches the second station to place the cardboard material on the shell material. The turntable drive mechanism then drives the turntable to rotate again, and the positioning mechanism and the positioning mechanism ensure that the turntable rotates 90°, so that the shell material and cardboard material placed at the second station reach the molding station. The molding mechanism completes the sealing. Similarly, the turntable rotates 90° to the third station for unloading. The positioning mechanism and the positioning mechanism work together to ensure accurate positioning throughout the process. In addition, the operating principle and working method of the pressing mechanism can be referred to the patent document with patent number ZL201120475701.2 and patent title "A Pressing Mechanism", which will not be repeated here.

[0070] Specifically, the positioning detection mechanism 12 includes a first sensing component 121 disposed on the workbench 1 and located below the workstation turntable 2, and a plurality of second sensing components 122 disposed circumferentially below the workstation turntable 2 and capable of being opposite to the first sensing component 121. When the workstation turntable 2 rotates to the point where the second sensing component 122 is opposite to the first sensing component 121, the turntable driving mechanism 11 stops working, and the turntable positioning mechanism 13 is driven to restrict the rotation of the workstation turntable 2. Optionally and non-limitingly, the first sensing component 121 may be a position sensor, and the second sensing component 122 may be a sensing plate.

[0071] In addition, the positioning detection mechanism 12 also includes a third sensing component 123 disposed on the workbench 1 and located below the workstation turntable 2. The third sensing component 123 is arranged circumferentially around the workstation turntable 2 relative to the first sensing component 121. When the workstation turntable 2 rotates to the point where the second sensing component 122 is opposite to the first sensing component 121, the drive mechanism 11 for the turntable stops working. At this time, the workstation turntable 2 continues to rotate due to inertia. When the workstation turntable 2 rotates to the point where the second sensing component 122 is opposite to the third sensing component 123, the workstation turntable 2 stops rotating. By setting the third sensing component 123, the accurate stopping of the workstation turntable 2 can be ensured, and the effective positioning of the turntable positioning mechanism 13 can also be ensured.

[0072] Furthermore, the positioning detection mechanism 12 also includes a detection mounting component 124 disposed on the workbench 1. The detection mounting component 124 is provided with a first detection mounting hole 1241 for mounting the third sensing component 123, and second detection mounting holes 1242 disposed on both sides of the first detection mounting hole 1241 for mounting the first sensing component 121. This facilitates assembly and disassembly. The second detection mounting holes 1242 on both sides of the first detection mounting hole 1241 allow the first sensing component 121 to be mounted left or right, enabling flexible adjustment during forward or reverse rotation of the workstation turntable. Simultaneously, the second detection mounting holes 1242 are arc-shaped to facilitate adjustment of the position of the first sensing component 121.

[0073] More specifically, the turntable positioning mechanism 13 includes multiple turntable positioning posts 131 arranged circumferentially along the workstation turntable 2, a first positioning telescopic cylinder 132 horizontally mounted on the workbench 1, and a positioning clamp 133 located at the telescopic end of the first positioning telescopic cylinder 132. The positioning clamp 133 has a positioning slot 1331. When the positioning detection mechanism 12 detects that the workstation turntable 2 has rotated to the correct position, the turntable drive mechanism 11 stops working, and the first positioning telescopic cylinder 132 drives the positioning clamp 133 to move horizontally until it extends into the positioning slot 1331 and into the turntable positioning post 131, thereby restricting the rotation of the workstation turntable 2. By extending the positioning clamp 133 into the turntable positioning post 131, the rotation of the workstation turntable is restricted, ensuring accurate positioning.

[0074] Furthermore, the workstation turntable 2 is provided with multiple contact elements 134 arranged circumferentially, and the workbench 1 is provided with a contact telescopic cylinder 135 in the vertical direction, and a power supply device 136 located at the telescopic end of the contact telescopic cylinder 135. The contact telescopic cylinder 135 can drive the power supply device 136 to move vertically to contact the contact element 134, so as to electrically connect the power supply device 136 and the contact element 134. When the positioning detection mechanism 12 detects that the workstation turntable 2 has rotated to the correct position, the turntable drive mechanism 11 stops working, the contact telescopic cylinder 135 drives the power supply device 136 to move vertically to contact the contact element 134 and energize it, so that the molding station can perform molding. After molding is completed, the contact telescopic cylinder 135 drives the power supply device 136 away from the contact element 134, and the workstation turntable 2 rotates to another position, and so on.

[0075] Optionally and non-limitingly, the turntable drive mechanism 11 includes a first transmission gear 111 disposed below the workstation turntable 2, a rotation drive motor 112 disposed on the workbench 1, and a second transmission gear 113 disposed at the rotation output end of the rotation drive motor 112 and connected to the first transmission gear 111. The transmission is smooth.

[0076] Specifically, the packaging equipment also includes a first material frame 3, which is hinged on the work stand 1 and located on the circumference of the rotation axis of the work station turntable 2. The first material frame 3 can be flipped upward to a folded state or flipped downward to an unfolded state around the hinge axis. A first loading and unloading mechanism 4 is provided on the work stand 1 and is used to transfer the raw materials on the first material frame 3 to the work station turntable 2 for processing and to take away the finished products processed on the work station turntable 2. In use, the first material frame is simply flipped downwards around the hinge axis to unfold, at which point the first material frame 3 is horizontally positioned. No further adjustment of the first material frame's position is required, and the first loading / unloading mechanism can precisely grab the raw materials from the first material frame 3, making it very convenient to use. Simultaneously, the first loading / unloading mechanism automatically transfers the raw materials from the first material frame to the workstation turntable for processing and removes the finished products from the turntable, resulting in high production efficiency. When not in use, the first material frame is flipped upwards around the hinge axis to fold onto the workbench, reducing its footprint. Furthermore, the connecting holes on the first material frame align with the connecting holes on the workbench, and are secured with bolts for added stability.

[0077] Specifically, in order to ensure that the first material frame is stably supported in the unfolded state and kept horizontal, the work stand 1 is provided with a support limiting mechanism 5. When the first material frame 3 is flipped downward around the hinge axis, the support limiting mechanism 5 is used to support the first material frame 3 and restrict the first material frame 3 from flipping downward, so that the first material frame 3 remains in the unfolded state.

[0078] In addition, the support and limiting mechanism 5 includes a support and limiting frame 51 mounted on the workbench 1. The support and limiting frame 51 is provided with a first limiting platform 52, a support and limiting fixing part 53, and a fixing connector 54 passing through the support and limiting fixing part 53 and the first material frame 3. The fixing connector 54 can be fitted with connecting bolts and nuts. The support and limiting mechanism 5 also includes a second limiting platform 55 mounted on the workbench 1. The second limiting platform 55 corresponds to the hinge end of the first material frame 3 and is located below the hinge end of the first material frame 3. The first material frame 3 can be rotated downward around the hinge axis to abut against the first limiting platform 52 and the second limiting platform 55, and is connected and fixed by the fixing connector 54. With the limiting support of the first limiting platform 52 and the second limiting platform 55, the support is stable and facilitates accurate material handling.

[0079] Furthermore, in order to improve the support stability, there are two support limiting frames 51. The two support limiting frames 51 are arranged opposite each other and are respectively hinged on the work platform 1. The two support limiting frames 51 can be flipped and folded or flipped and unfolded around their corresponding hinge axis. When not in use, the two support limiting frames 51 can be flipped and folded to further reduce the space occupied.

[0080] More specifically, the workbench 1 is provided with a first hinge mounting seat 61 for hinged connection of the first material frame 3 and a second hinge mounting seat 62 for hinged connection of the support limiting frame 51 on both sides. The first material frame 3 can be installed on the left or right side of the workbench 1 according to different usage scenarios, making it more versatile.

[0081] Further, the first material frame 3 includes: a first material rack 31, which is hinged to the workbench 1; a lifting mechanism 32, which is disposed on the first material rack 31 for placing and lifting raw materials; and a raw material limiting mechanism 33, which includes a raw material limiting plate 331 movably disposed on the first material rack 31, a plurality of raw material limiting posts 332 disposed on the raw material limiting plate 331, and a limiting plate lifting mechanism 333 disposed on the first material rack 31 for pushing the raw material limiting plate 331. After the raw material is taken out from the first material frame 3, the lifting mechanism 32 lifts the raw material to ensure normal material discharge. The limiting plate lifting mechanism 333 includes a lifting bolt 3331 disposed on the first material rack 31 and a nut sleeved on the lifting bolt 3331. The height of the raw material limiting plate 331 can be adjusted by rotating the lifting bolt 3331, making it more versatile.

[0082] Furthermore, the placement and lifting mechanism 32 includes: a lifting support rod 321, which is mounted on the first material rack 31; a placement assembly 322, which includes multiple stacked pallet pieces 3221 hinged to the upper end of the lifting support rod 321, which can be rotated and unfolded or folded according to the size of different raw materials to change the placement area; a primary elastic element 323, which is sleeved on the lifting support rod 321; a secondary assembly 324, which is movably sleeved on the outer periphery of the primary elastic element 323; and a secondary elastic element 325, which is sleeved on the secondary assembly 324. In use, the raw material is placed on the pallet piece 3221. When the raw material is removed, the primary elastic element 323 and the secondary elastic element 325 jointly lift the raw material. The two-stage elastic element allows the raw material to return to its original position. The two-stage elastic element provides more elasticity and greater precision, and reduces the wear of the primary elastic element 323, resulting in a longer service life.

[0083] Specifically, the first loading and unloading mechanism 4 includes: a loading and unloading frame 41, which is disposed on the workbench 1 and located above the workstation turntable 2; a first loading and unloading assembly 42, which passes through the loading and unloading frame 41 and is used to grab raw materials and processed finished products. At the same time, the first loading and unloading assembly 42 passes through the loading and unloading frame 41, making the overall footprint smaller; a loading and unloading drive 43, which is disposed on the loading and unloading frame 41 and is used to drive the first loading and unloading assembly 42 to move in the vertical direction; and a loading and unloading guide assembly 44, which is disposed between the loading and unloading frame 41 and the first loading and unloading assembly 42, making the loading and unloading more stable. The loading and unloading guide assembly 44 includes a first guide post 441 disposed on the first loading and unloading assembly 42 and located on the left and right sides of the loading and unloading drive member 43, a first guide sleeve 442 disposed on the loading and unloading frame 41 and sleeved on the first guide post 441, a second guide post 443 disposed on the loading and unloading frame 41 and located on the front and rear sides of the loading and unloading drive member 43, and a second guide sleeve 444 disposed on the first loading and unloading assembly 42 and sleeved on the second guide post 443.

[0084] More specifically, the first loading / unloading assembly 42 includes a first loading / unloading mounting base 421 horizontally mounted on the loading / unloading frame 41, a double-headed telescopic cylinder 422 mounted on the first loading / unloading mounting base 421, a first suction member 423 and a second suction member 424 respectively mounted on the two telescopic ends of the double-headed telescopic cylinder 422, a telescopic guide sleeve 425 parallel to the double-headed telescopic cylinder 422 mounted on the first loading / unloading mounting base 421, and a telescopic guide rod 426 movably mounted on the telescopic guide sleeve 425 and connected at both ends to the first suction member 423 and the second suction member 424 respectively, resulting in smoother movement. In use, the loading / unloading drive unit 43 drives the first loading / unloading assembly 42 to move downwards, so that the first suction member 423 picks up the raw material while the second suction member 424 picks up the finished product after processing. The double-headed telescopic cylinder 422 drives the horizontal feeding, simultaneously realizing the loading and unloading of raw materials and finished products, which is more efficient and occupies less space overall. The horizontal feeding method is convenient for transferring softer cardboard raw materials.

[0085] Furthermore, the telescopic guide rod 426 is provided with a guide rod vent hole 4261 that communicates with the first adsorption member 423 and the second adsorption member 424 respectively. An air-receiving sleeve 427 that communicates with the guide rod vent hole 4261 is fitted onto the telescopic guide rod 426. By placing the vent hole in the telescopic guide rod 426, and replacing the vent pipe with the guide rod vent hole 4261 for ventilation, the exposed vent pipe is avoided, preventing interference or damage to the vent pipe during use, and resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

[0086] Specific Embodiment Two, the difference between this embodiment and Specific Embodiment One is as follows: Figure 9-13As shown, the packaging equipment also includes a second material frame 7 mounted on the workbench 1, and a second loading / unloading mechanism 8 located between the second material frame 7 and the workstation turntable 2 for loading and unloading raw materials from the second material frame 7 onto the workstation turntable 2. The second loading / unloading mechanism 8 includes a flipping material-grabbing structure 81, which grabs the raw materials from the second material frame 7 and flips them so that the grabbed raw materials face the workstation turntable 2. The cardboard raw materials are stacked in the second material frame 7, and the bottom of the second material frame 7 has a discharge port. In use, the cardboard raw materials in the second material frame are grabbed by the flipping material-grabbing structure, pulled out from the discharge port, and flipped so that the grabbed raw materials face the workstation turntable and are placed on the corresponding workstation. There is no need to adjust the position of the second material frame, achieving precise material loading and making it very convenient to use. At the same time, when not in use, the second material frame is on the workbench, reducing the floor space occupied.

[0087] Specifically, the flipping material handling structure 81 includes a flipping mounting frame 811, a flipping shaft 812 rotatably mounted on the flipping mounting frame 811, a third adsorption element 813 mounted on the flipping shaft 812, and a flipping drive mechanism 814 for driving the flipping shaft 812 to flip. The third adsorption element 813 is connected to a vacuum machine to adsorb the cardboard material through vacuum, avoiding damage to the material. Multiple third adsorption elements 813 can be arranged along the axial direction of the flipping shaft 812 according to the size of the material to be adsorbed. The flipping drive mechanism 814 can be driven by a servo motor or similar device.

[0088] Additionally, the flipping drive mechanism 814 includes: a drive mounting base 8141, which is disposed on the flipping mounting bracket 811; a drive slider 8142, which is movably disposed on the drive mounting base 8141, and the drive slider 8142 is provided with an arc-shaped slide groove 8142a; and a flipping linkage 8143, one end of which is eccentrically connected to the flipping shaft 812, and the other end is provided with a linkage end 8143a, the linkage end 8143a extending into the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a and capable of... The drive slider 8142 moves along the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a; two elastic pushers 8144 are provided on the drive slider 8142 and extend into both ends of the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a respectively; the linkage end 8143a can move along the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a to both ends of the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a and compress the elastic pushers 8144; and a flipping drive 8145 is provided on the flipping mounting bracket 811 and is used to drive the drive slider 8142 to move. In use, the flipping drive component 8145 drives the drive slider 8142 to move on the drive mounting base 8141. The movement of the drive slider 8142 means the movement of the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a, which in turn pushes the linkage end 8143a, which extends into the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a, to move along the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a, thereby driving the flipping linkage component 8143 to rotate, so as to realize the flipping of the flipping shaft 812. When the third suction component 813 faces the second material frame 7, the linkage end 8143a is located at one end of the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a and compresses the elastic pusher 8144. During flipping, the flipping... The driving component 8145 needs to drive the linkage end 8143a to move to the other end of the arc-shaped slide 8142a. At this time, the elastic pusher 8144 resets and applies a pushing force to the linkage end 8143a, so that the linkage end 8143a moves smoothly. Similarly, when the third adsorption component 813 is flipped to face the second material frame 7, the linkage end 8143a compresses the elastic pusher 8144 at the other end of the arc-shaped slide 8142a. Due to the reset push of the elastic pusher 8144, the linkage end 8143a moves smoothly back and forth in the arc-shaped slide 8142a without jamming. Specifically, the flipping angle range of the flipping shaft 812 is 0-180°, and the arc-shaped slide 8142a is a semi-circular arc-shaped slide.

[0089] Furthermore, in order to make the reciprocating movement of the linkage end 8143a in the arc-shaped slide groove 8142a smoother and more stable, a rolling bearing 9 is sleeved on the linkage end 8143a.

[0090] More specifically, the rotating shaft 812 is provided with a rotating shaft vent 8121 arranged axially and a vent connector 8122 connected to the rotating shaft vent 8121. The rotating shaft vent 8121 is used to connect to the third adsorption element 813. In use, the vent connector 8122 can be directly connected to a vacuum machine. By setting the rotating shaft vent 8121 on the rotating shaft 812, and replacing the vent pipe with the rotating shaft vent 8121 for ventilation, the exposed vent pipe is avoided, preventing interference or damage to the vent pipe during use, and the overall appearance is neater and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0091] Furthermore, the second loading and unloading mechanism 8 also includes: a second loading and unloading frame 82, which is disposed on the workbench 1 and located above the workstation turntable 2; a second loading and unloading mounting base 83, which is horizontally disposed on the second loading and unloading frame 82, and the flipping material picking structure 81 is disposed at one end of the second loading and unloading mounting base 83; a translational unloading structure 84, which is disposed at the end of the second loading and unloading mounting base 83 away from the flipping material picking structure 81, for taking away the finished product processed on the workstation turntable 2; and a second loading and unloading drive component 85, which is disposed on the second loading and unloading frame 82, for driving the second loading and unloading mounting base 83 to move in the vertical direction. The second loading / unloading drive component 85 drives the second loading / unloading mounting base 83 to move up and down, simultaneously driving the tilting material picking structure 81 and the translating material unloading structure 84 to move up and down. When the tilting material picking structure 81 and the translating material unloading structure 84 descend, the tilting material picking structure 81 places the raw material it has picked up onto the workstation turntable, while the translating material unloading structure 84 picks up the finished product from the workstation turntable. When the tilting material picking structure 81 and the translating material unloading structure 84 rise, the tilting material picking structure 81 picks up the raw material from the second material frame, while the translating material unloading structure 84 unloads the picked-up finished product. The tilting material picking structure 81 and the translating material unloading structure 84 perform loading and unloading work simultaneously, resulting in high work efficiency and a small footprint.

[0092] Furthermore, to make the loading and unloading more stable, the second loading and unloading mechanism 8 also includes a second loading and unloading guide assembly 86. The second loading and unloading guide assembly 86 includes a third guide post 861 disposed on the second loading and unloading mounting base 83 and located on the left and right sides of the second loading and unloading drive member 85, a third guide sleeve 862 disposed on the second loading and unloading frame 82 and sleeved on the third guide post 861, a fourth guide post 863 disposed on the second loading and unloading frame 82 and located on the front and rear sides of the second loading and unloading drive member 85, and a fourth guide sleeve 864 disposed on the second loading and unloading mounting base 83 and sleeved on the fourth guide post 863.

[0093] Specifically, the second loading / unloading frame 82 is provided with a clearance mounting groove 821 for the second loading / unloading mounting seat 83 to pass through and move vertically. A protective plate 822 is provided between the clearance mounting groove 821 and the second loading / unloading mounting seat 83. When the second loading / unloading mounting seat 83 moves vertically, the protective plate 822 deforms and remains sealed to the clearance mounting groove 821, so that dust and other particles are prevented from entering the second loading / unloading frame 82 from the clearance mounting groove 821 during the lifting and lowering movement of the second loading / unloading mounting seat 83.

[0094] More specifically, the translational unloading structure 84 includes an unloading telescopic cylinder 841 mounted on the second unloading mounting base 83, a fourth suction member 842 mounted on the telescopic end of the unloading telescopic cylinder 841, an unloading telescopic guide sleeve 843 mounted parallel to the unloading telescopic cylinder 841 on the second unloading mounting base 83, and an unloading telescopic guide rod 844 mounted on the unloading telescopic guide sleeve 843 and connected to the fourth suction member 842. The unloading telescopic cylinder 841 drives the translational unloading. The cooperation of the unloading telescopic guide sleeve 843 and the unloading telescopic guide rod 844 makes the transfer more stable. More specifically, to ensure stable transmission, the two unloading telescopic guide sleeves 843 and the unloading telescopic guide rod 844 are respectively located on both sides of the unloading telescopic cylinder 841.

[0095] Furthermore, the feeding telescopic guide rod 844 is provided with a feeding guide rod vent hole 8441 for communicating with the fourth adsorption element 842. By placing the vent hole in the feeding telescopic guide rod 844, ventilation is provided through the feeding guide rod vent hole 8441 instead of a vent pipe, avoiding the vent pipe from being exposed, preventing interference or damage to the vent pipe during use, and making the overall appearance neater and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0096] like Figure 14-15 The above describes a feeding and base adjustment method for packaging equipment used in a specific embodiment. The packaging equipment includes a workbench 1, a station turntable 2 rotatably mounted on the workbench 1, a material frame, and a feeding and unloading mechanism. The feeding and base adjustment method includes the following steps:

[0097] Step S1: Install the container mold 14 of the product to be packaged on the workstation turntable 2. The container mold 14 has a placement position 141.

[0098] Step S2: A base adjustment and positioning component is installed above the container mold 14. The position of the material frame outlet is adjusted by the base adjustment and positioning component, so that the loading and unloading mechanism accurately transfers the packaging materials in the material frame to the placement position 141 after lifting or translating. This improves base adjustment efficiency, accuracy, and production efficiency, while ensuring packaging processing precision.

[0099] Specifically, the material frame includes a first material frame 3 disposed on the periphery of the workstation turntable 2, the loading and unloading mechanism includes a first loading and unloading mechanism 4 disposed on the workbench 1, the base adjustment positioning component includes a base adjustment positioning plate 15, the base adjustment positioning plate 15 is provided with a base adjustment through hole 151, and the step S2 of adjusting the position of the material frame outlet by means of the base adjustment positioning component includes the following steps:

[0100] Step S21: Place the base adjustment positioning plate 15 on the first material rack 31 of the first material frame 3, and adjust the position of the base adjustment positioning plate 15 so that the base adjustment through hole 151 is opposite to the placement position 141; specifically, the base adjustment positioning plate 15 is placed on two opposite first positioning posts of the first material rack 31, and the container mold 14 is placed on two opposite second positioning posts of the working turntable, and the positions of the first positioning posts and the second positioning posts correspond to each other so that the placement position 141 corresponds to the base adjustment through hole 151.

[0101] Step S22: Move the adjusted base positioning plate 15 along the movement direction of the first loading and unloading mechanism 4 on the first material rack 31 to above the discharge port of the first material frame 3;

[0102] Step S23: Adjust the position of the discharge port of the first material frame 3 so that the discharge port of the first material frame 3 is aligned with the adjustment through hole 151. The first loading and unloading mechanism 4 drives the first adsorption member 423 to move horizontally above the discharge port of the first material frame 3, then drives the first adsorption member 423 to descend and adsorb the packaging material in the first material frame 3, then rises, and then moves horizontally above the placement position 141 so that the packaging material is precisely aligned with the placement position 141.

[0103] In addition, the first material frame 3 also includes a raw material limiting mechanism 33. The raw material limiting mechanism 33 includes a raw material limiting plate 331 movably mounted on the first material rack 31 and a plurality of raw material limiting posts 332 mounted on the raw material limiting plate 331. The plurality of raw material limiting posts 332 together form the discharge port of the first material frame 3. The adjustment of the position of the discharge port of the first material frame 3 in step S23 includes the following steps:

[0104] Step S231: Move and adjust the raw material limiting column 332 relative to the raw material limiting plate 331 along the length direction of the first material rack 31;

[0105] Step S232: Move and adjust the raw material limiting column 332 relative to the raw material limiting plate 331 along the width direction of the first material rack 31;

[0106] Step S233: The raw material limiting mechanism 33 also includes a limiting plate lifting mechanism 333, which lifts the raw material limiting plate 331 to adjust the height of the raw material limiting column 332.

[0107] A feeding and base adjustment method applied to the packaging equipment in specific embodiment two, such as Figure 16-17As shown, the material frame includes a second material frame 7 disposed on the workbench 1, and a second loading / unloading mechanism 8 disposed between the second material frame 7 and the workstation turntable 2 for loading and unloading raw materials from the second material frame 7 onto the workstation turntable 2. The base positioning component includes a base positioning rod 16. The step S2 of adjusting the position of the material frame outlet by adjusting the base positioning component includes the following steps:

[0108] S24: A base positioning post 17 is provided on the container mold 14 and on the periphery of the placement position 141;

[0109] S25: One end of the base positioning rod 16 is positioned on the container mold 14 corresponding to the base positioning post 17, and the other end extends into the second material frame 7. By adjusting the position of the second material frame 7, the second raw material limiting post 18 of the second material frame 7 is sleeved on the upper base positioning rod 16, so that the outlet of the second material frame 7 is opposite to the placement position 141. The second loading and unloading mechanism 8 drives the third adsorption member 813 to extend into the outlet of the second material frame 7 to adsorb the packaging raw material, and then descends to withdraw from the outlet. Then, the flipping drive mechanism 814 and the flipping shaft 812 cooperate to drive the third adsorption member 813 to flip 180° towards the placement position 141. Since the outlet of the second material frame 7 is opposite to the placement position 141, driving the third adsorption member 813 to move down can ensure that the packaging raw material is accurately placed into the placement position 141. Optionally, the base positioning post 17 is a shrink pin, and one end of the base positioning rod 16 presses against and compresses the shrink pin.

[0110] Specifically, the workstation turntable 2 is provided with multiple mold positioning holes 191, and at least two mold positioning holes 191 are provided with mold positioning posts 192 that can be connected to the container mold 14. This facilitates the replacement of different container molds 14 to meet the production and packaging needs of products of different sizes.
