Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of product packaging technology, and more specifically, to a packaging device. Background Technology

[0002] A transponder is a ground transmission unit using magnetic induction technology. Its key function is to transmit data information through an air gap. It can serve as a signaling device installed on the track, communicating with onboard equipment passing above it. Transponders include active and passive transponders. Passive transponders are used to store fixed information (i.e., default messages). When a train passes over a passive transponder, the passive transponder receives the electromagnetic energy emitted by the onboard antenna, converts it into electrical energy, and activates the electronic circuitry in the ground-based passive transponder. This causes the data stored in the ground-based passive transponder to be transmitted cyclically until the electrical energy is dissipated (i.e., the train has moved away with the onboard antenna).

[0003] There is a large market demand for passive transponder equipment, but the delivery time is short. In the current technology, the packaging of passive transponders is mainly carried out by offline manual packaging. This packaging method uses materials such as pearl cotton, single-layer pulp pads, and plastic bags to package passive transponders. Since the existing packaging materials cannot meet the packaging requirements of the current automatic packaging equipment, most of the packaging process must be done manually, which results in long packaging cycles, low production efficiency, and high labor intensity.

[0004] Therefore, how to package passive transponders so that existing automatic packaging equipment can be used in conjunction with packaging devices has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The core of this invention is to disclose a packaging device for packaging passive transponders, so that existing automatic packaging equipment can be used in conjunction with the packaging device.

[0038] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the scope of the invention as described in the claims. Additionally, the complete contents of the configurations represented in the embodiments below are not limited to those necessary for the solution of the invention described in the claims.

[0039] The packaging apparatus disclosed in this invention is used for packaging passive transponders and includes a composite paper tray and a cover plate 30.

[0040] The composite paper tray includes an inner paper tray 10 and an outer paper tray 20, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inner paper tray 10 is provided with a first storage slot for placing the passive transponder, for fitting and installing the passive transponder together. Figure 5 As shown, the outer paper tray 20 is provided with a second storage slot, and the inner paper tray 10 is disposed in the second storage slot. The inner paper tray 10 and the outer paper tray 20 cooperate to form a composite paper tray for accommodating the passive transponder. At the same time, the composite paper tray packaging method can improve the robustness, puncture resistance, and moisture resistance of the packaging device, and reduce the safety risks during transportation.

[0041] The cover plate 30 is located on top of the first storage slot and is used to cooperate with the composite paper tray to package the passive transponder.

[0042] Compared to existing technologies that use materials such as pearl cotton, plastic bags, and single-layer pulp pads for manual offline packaging of passive transponders, the packaging device disclosed in this invention has a certain degree of support and structural strength, achieving optimization and upgrading of the passive transponder packaging process. This allows the packaged passive transponders to be stacked higher, saving space. At the same time, the packaging device can be used in conjunction with existing automatic packaging equipment, reducing the packaging cycle, improving packaging efficiency and the utilization rate of special equipment, and reducing the cost of manual production.

[0043] For ease of understanding, in the following embodiments, the model of the passive transponder is TDY·W, with external dimensions of 480mm in length, 260mm in width and 40mm in height. Each passive transponder weighs approximately 5KG, featuring relatively large length and width, low height and heavy weight. It should be noted that the packaging device disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention can also be applied to other types of passive transponders, such as the LKY1-TH type, etc., with certain ease of use and scalability. The packaging form of the special automatic packaging equipment may be a vertical cabinet type paper package, that is, a packaging form in which the body of the special equipment is vertically arranged and stands upright, and paper material is used as the main packaging material. The special equipment matched with the packaging of the passive transponder includes an automatic grabbing robot, a labeling machine, etc., and has functions such as labeling and automatic packaging.

[0044] In order to provide certain support and position limitation for the placement of the passive transponder in the first storage slot, a limiting skirt 11 is formed on the side wall of the inner paper tray 10 toward the inside of the first storage slot. The limiting skirt 11 abuts against the side wall of the passive transponder to define the placement position of the passive transponder. A limiting protrusion 13 is formed on the bottom surface of the inner paper tray 10 toward the inside of the first storage slot, and the limiting protrusion 13 is configured to abut against the bottom wall of the passive transponder to support the passive transponder.

[0045] Since in the on-line packaging process of the passive transponder, after the passive transponder is placed into the composite paper tray, the whole of the passive transponder and the composite paper tray still needs to be transferred to the production line for labeling and processes such as message reading and writing of the passive transponder, the composite paper tray and the passive transponder are required to fit closely without loosening during the transfer process. At this time, the suction cup of the automatic grabbing robot sucks the top of the passive transponder to transport the whole of the passive transponder and the composite paper tray. In order to prevent the composite paper tray from falling off the passive transponder, the limiting skirt 11 is formed with a first limiting rib 12 toward the inside of the first storage slot, and the limiting protrusion 13 is formed with a second limiting rib 14 toward the inside of the first storage slot. The first limiting rib 12 and the second limiting rib 14 clamp the passive transponder with the first storage slot, so that the inner paper tray 10 will not be separated from the passive transponder during the transfer process.

[0046] Those skilled in the art can understand that the lower surface of the outer paper tray 20 disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention is flat, which is used for carrying the passive transponder to be transported on the conveyor belt together with the inner paper tray 10, and the outer paper tray 20 can meet the friction heating requirement of the conveyor belt when being transported on the conveyor belt of the production line. Meanwhile, the friction noise of the outer paper tray 20 on the conveyor belt is lower than that of the packaging material made of pearl cotton.

[0047] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent the inner paper tray 10 from detaching from the passive transponder, the first limiting rib 12 is a wedge-shaped structure, and the forming thickness of the first limiting rib 12 gradually decreases towards the bottom along the top opening of the first placement groove. When the passive transponder is placed into the first placement groove, the first limiting rib 12 provides a certain resistance to the passive transponder. When the suction cup of the automatic gripping robot picks up the passive transponder and the composite paper tray as a whole, the first limiting rib 12 provides a certain resistance to the composite paper tray falling off the passive transponder, thus preventing the separation of the passive transponder and the composite paper tray.

[0048] Furthermore, the sidewall of the inner paper tray 10 is formed with a limiting skirt 11 into the first storage groove, so that the limiting skirt 11 forms a positioning groove on the side opposite to the first storage groove. The sidewall of the outer paper tray 20 is provided with a positioning protrusion 21 that cooperates with the positioning groove. The positioning groove and the positioning protrusion 21 cooperate to provide greater friction between the inner paper tray 10 and the outer paper tray 20, so that the inner paper tray 10 and the outer paper tray 20 are locked together. During the transfer process, the outer paper tray 20 will not separate from the inner paper tray 10, so that the passive transponder and the composite paper tray can be packaged together for the next step.

[0049] To prevent the inner paper tray 10 and the outer paper tray 20 from coming loose, the positioning groove can be designed as a trapezoidal structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Correspondingly, the positioning protrusion 21 is a trapezoidal structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom and matches the positioning groove.

[0050] To facilitate label application on the composite paper tray by the labeling machine, a label setting part 22 is provided on the side wall of the outer paper tray 20. Furthermore, for ease of label application by the labeling machine, the label setting part 22 is perpendicular to the bottom wall of the outer paper tray 20, and there are two such parts located on symmetrical side walls. Compared to existing packaging materials made of pearl cotton, the packaging device disclosed in this embodiment of the invention has better adhesive performance and facilitates label application.

[0051] When the inner paper tray 10 is placed into the outer paper tray 20, there is a certain amount of gas between the outer paper tray 20 and the inner paper tray 10. In order to release the gas, an exhaust hole 23 is provided on the bottom wall of the outer paper tray 20.

[0052] Those skilled in the art will understand that the position of the vent hole 23 can be set according to the actual situation. Since the side wall area of ​​the outer paper tray 20 is relatively small compared with the bottom wall area, in order to reduce the damage to the strength of the outer paper tray 20, it is a more preferred solution to open the vent hole 23 on the bottom wall of the outer paper tray 20 than on the side wall.

[0053] Cover plate 30 is used to cover the top of the passive transponder, combined with Figure 9 and Figure 10The cover plate 30 includes a sealing end plate 31 and a buffer pad 32. The sealing end plate 31 is disposed on the top of the first storage groove and is used to seal the composite paper tray.

[0054] A cushioning pad 32 is disposed at one end of the sealing end plate 31 near the inner paper tray 10. It is used to engage with the inner paper tray 10 and increase the structural strength of the cover plate 30 to cushion the top of the passive transponder, preventing external impacts from damaging the sealing end plate 31 and further damaging the passive transponder. The cushioning pad 32 can be made of low-cost pearl cotton.

[0055] To accommodate existing specialized equipment, the end of the sealing end plate 31 furthest from the inner paper tray 10 has a flat surface and is covered with a film to prevent air leakage. This allows the suction cup of the automatic gripping robot to pick up the film-covered portion of the sealing end plate 31, move the cover plate 30 to the top of the first storage slot, and fasten it to the inner paper tray 10. Specifically, after reading and writing messages to the passive transponder, the cover plate 30 is then fastened to the composite paper tray.

[0056] When the cover plate 30 is fastened onto the composite paper tray, pressure through holes are provided on the edge of the cover plate 30 in order to balance the pressure inside and outside the composite paper tray.

[0057] To further package the passive transponder, the packaging device also includes a cardboard box. After the cover 30 is installed, the composite paper tray, cover 30, and the passive transponder's packaging body are placed inside the cardboard box for further protection. One passive transponder corresponds to one composite paper tray and cover 30 for packaging. Depending on the cardboard box size, one or more passive transponder packaging bodies can be placed inside the box. The box can be labeled, and multi-color printing is convenient and aesthetically pleasing.

[0058] Those skilled in the art will understand that, considering factors such as overall cost, availability, durability, ease of use, and usability, the materials used in the aforementioned packaging device can also be replaced by other materials.

[0059] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the length of the cardboard box is (530±2) mm, the width is (310±2) mm, and the height is (245±2) mm; combined with Figures 6-8The outer paper tray 20 has a length of 530mm, a width of 310mm, a height of 73mm, a thickness of 2.0mm, and a weight of (200±20)g. Its flange type is reverse-absorption (after processing, one side of the paper tray is smoother than the other; reverse-absorption means setting the smoother side of the outer paper tray 20 as the outer surface to meet the frictional heat requirements of the outer paper tray 20 on the conveyor belt), and its lower surface is flat. The label setting part 33 is rectangular, with one end of its long side flush with the top of the second storage slot (104mm), and its wide side is 50mm. Two vent holes 23 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom wall of the outer paper tray 20, both being through holes with a diameter of 25mm. The line connecting the centers of the two vent holes is parallel to the long side of the bottom wall of the outer paper tray 20, and the distance between the two vent holes is 230mm. Figures 2-4 The inner paper tray 10 has a thickness of 2.5 mm and a weight of (310±31) g. The flange type is positive suction (that is, the smoother side surface of the inner paper tray 10 is set as the inner surface for bonding with the surface of the passive transponder); the sealing end plate 31 has a length of 630 mm, a width of 310 mm, and a thickness of 5 mm; the buffer pad 32 has a length of 448 mm, a width of 250 mm, and a thickness of 5 mm for the rectangular mating part with the passive transponder.

[0060] The packaging device disclosed in this invention adopts a separate structure of composite paper tray and cover plate 30 to package the passive transponder as a whole. This meets the usage conditions of automatic packaging equipment, enabling the packaging device to be used in conjunction with the automatic packaging equipment of mature and stable packaging production lines. This promotes the construction of intelligent factories, improves the production efficiency of passive transponders and the utilization rate of special equipment, and reduces packaging costs. Compared with the existing technology that uses plastic bags and single-layer pulp trays, this method avoids the use of plastic bags, saves labor time and costs, and offers higher cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, the change from a single layer to a double-layer paper tray improves the robustness, puncture resistance, and moisture resistance of the packaging device.
