Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a glove buffer packaging method and belongs to the technical field of disposable glove packaging. Background Art

[0002] Disposable gloves are an important protective product and are widely used in the medical, chemical, food and other industries. In glove production, a glove production line includes multiple rows of hand models. Multiple rows of hand models on a glove production line share the same packaging line (commonly ABCD four-row hand models), or even multiple rows of hand models on multiple glove production lines share the same packaging line. The gloves produced by the glove production line are removed by the glove remover and sent to the packaging line for boxing. When the glove remover removes the gloves, it only removes the gloves on the same row of hand models and outputs the gloves in bundles to the glove conveyor line, which is then transported to the packaging area for packaging. In some scenarios, in order to facilitate the tracing of the source of the problematic gloves, according to customer requirements, only gloves on the same row or two rows (for example, gloves on lines A and D can be put into the same packaging box, and gloves on lines B and C can be put into the same packaging box) are allowed to be packed into the same packaging box; in some scenarios, due to the requirements of product specifications and models, even if the specifications and models of the gloves on the hand models are the same, only gloves on the same row or two rows of hand models are allowed to be packed into the same packaging box. At this time, the gloves on the hand models in this row or two rows are of the same type.

[0003] Usually, the number of gloves outputted by the glove removing device corresponding to each row of hand models is fixed at one time, for example, the glove removing device outputs 100 gloves each time, but the packaging quantity requirements of each packaging box are different. When the number is greater than 100, for example, 200 or 300 gloves are packaged, the existing packaging method cannot meet such packaging requirements. The present invention proposes a glove packaging method that can meet the packaging requirements of both ensuring the number of gloves and ensuring that the same type of gloves can be loaded into the same packaging box. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a glove caching packaging method that can temporarily store gloves on a packaging line to meet the box quantity requirements and facilitate the traceability of problematic or unqualified products.

[0005] The glove caching and packaging method of the present invention is suitable for the scenario where different types of gloves are conveyed on the same glove conveying line. The glove conveying line is provided with a plurality of glove conveying units, which are used to hold and convey bundles of gloves. The glove conveying line is provided with a glove caching unit, and a transfer device is provided between the glove caching unit and the glove conveying line. The glove conveying line, the glove caching unit and the transfer device are connected to a control system. The glove caching and packaging method comprises the following steps:

[0006] S1. The glove conveying units on the glove conveying line receive stacks of gloves, and the control system marks the glove conveying units with the same glove type;

[0007] S2, the transfer device transfers the gloves from the glove conveying unit to the glove buffer unit for temporary storage, and the gloves marked as the same type in the glove conveying unit are placed in the same glove buffer unit;

[0008] S3. When the control system determines that the total number of a certain type of gloves in a certain stack on the glove conveying line and the number of gloves in the corresponding glove buffer unit reaches the boxing quantity requirement, the control system controls the transfer device to transfer the gloves in the corresponding glove buffer unit to the glove conveying unit where the stack of gloves is located, and the glove conveying line transfers the gloves in the glove conveying unit that have reached the boxing quantity requirement to the glove packaging unit for packaging;

[0009] Alternatively, when the control system determines that the number of gloves in a certain glove buffer unit reaches the required number of gloves to be packed, the transfer robot transfers the gloves in the glove buffer unit to the packaging unit for packaging.

[0010] The glove packaging unit of the present invention adopts manual and / or automatic packaging methods.

[0011] In step S3, the transfer device transfers the gloves in the glove buffer unit to the glove packaging unit for packaging, including the transfer device directly transferring the gloves in the glove buffer unit to the automatic packaging machine 1 and / or the manual packaging area for packaging;

[0012] Alternatively, the transfer device transfers the gloves in the glove buffer unit to the automatic packaging machine II via the conveyor II for packaging.

[0013] In step S1, the glove conveying unit receives the stacks of gloves in the following manner: a glove removing machine upstream of the glove conveying line puts gloves of a certain type into a conveying unit of a corresponding type.

[0014] In step S1, the control system marks the same glove conveying units through internal logic algorithms rather than external physical markings.

[0015] Preferably, the transfer device is a transfer robot.

[0016] The glove cache unit comprises a glove cache box with an opening at the top.

[0017] Among them, a vertical strip-shaped notch is opened on the side wall of the glove cache box, and the notch extends to the bottom of the glove cache box. The grippers of the transfer robot can enter the glove cache box from the side of the glove cache box through the notch to grab the gloves in the box.

[0018] The glove cache unit of the present invention comprises at least two glove cache boxes. Adjacent glove cache boxes can move synchronously or relatively to each other, and the glove cache boxes can be moved into the transfer range of the transfer device.

[0019] Furthermore, the glove cache unit also includes a fixed guide rail, and the glove cache box is provided with a guide member adapted to the guide rail, and the at least two glove cache boxes are fixedly connected and synchronously moved by the same driving device.

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

[0021] 1. Flexible response to different packaging requirements: The present invention makes the packaging process more flexible. Whether it is to meet the packing quantity requirements of a specific packaging box (such as 200 or 300 pieces) or to ensure that only the same type of gloves are loaded in the same packaging box, the present invention can effectively respond and solve the limitations of the packaging method in matching quantity and type.

[0022] 2. Improve traceability: The gloves in each buffer unit come from a specific type of glove delivery unit, making it easier to trace problematic or substandard products and quickly locate the source of the problem.

[0023] 3. Optimize the production process: The present invention temporarily stores gloves through the glove buffer unit, making the production process between the glove conveyor line and the packaging unit smoother. When the number of gloves reaches the boxing requirement, the control system automatically triggers the transfer device for transfer, reducing manual intervention and improving the degree of automation and production efficiency.

[0024] 4. Reduce production costs: Through flexible packaging methods and efficient automated processes, the present invention reduces dependence on manual operations and reduces labor costs. At the same time, by optimizing the production process, it reduces unnecessary waiting time and resource waste, further reducing production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
