Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent toothpaste production, and in particular to a continuous toothpaste production process based on personalized customization. Background Art

[0002] Toothpaste production is a complex and delicate process. From the precise proportions of raw materials and the uniform mixing of the paste to product packaging and quality inspection, every link must be strictly controlled to ensure the high quality of the final product. The importance of packaging cannot be ignored, as it is directly related to the product's appearance and consumer experience.

[0003] In traditional toothpaste production, batch production is generally adopted, that is, toothpaste of the same specifications and packaging are processed on the same production line. If the appearance, specifications, and taste of the product change, it is necessary to install a new production line with new specifications and appearance packaging.

[0004] In today's consumer trend of pursuing personalization and customization, toothpaste products must meet individual consumer needs and require greater consumer autonomy. Consumers can customize the outer packaging design, flavor, and weight options and place orders. These orders are characterized by a small amount of toothpaste per order and each tube includes user-designed features. Due to the large number of consumers, the number of such orders is also very high. Faced with a large number of orders, small individual quantities, and varying individual requirements, each order is highly personalized by the consumer, with personalized content including user-designed text on the outer packaging, background patterns, and any desired toothpaste weight. Using traditional processing lines to produce these large orders not only makes mass production impossible, but also disrupts the production rhythm, resulting in extremely low efficiency and a delay in timely production of consumer needs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problem that the existing toothpaste production method cannot produce continuously for a large number of orders and a high degree of personalization of each order.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: Based on the continuous production process of personalized toothpaste,

[0007] Step 1: Fix the toothpaste tube to a filling tooling plate with an electronic tag, and assign an information code corresponding to the toothpaste tube to the electronic tag. The information code is linked to the identity information of the order;

[0008] Step 2: Multiple independent filling machines are used to load toothpaste pastes of different flavors. Each filling machine is equipped with an identifier at the filling position. The identifier stores the flavor information of the corresponding filling machine. When the toothpaste tube enters the filling area, the identifier of each filling machine matches the information code in turn. When the flavor information in the information code matches the identifier, the toothpaste tube corresponding to the information code will stay at the filling position corresponding to the identifier.

[0009] Step 3: The filling machine obtains the preset weight parameters of the toothpaste tube through the identifier, and adjusts the filling amount of the toothpaste tube according to the preset weight parameters;

[0010] Step 4: After the toothpaste tube on the filling tooling plate is filled, the filling tooling plate drives the toothpaste tube into the capping station, and the capping station performs the capping action;

[0011] Step 5: After the capping is completed, the toothpaste tubes enter the buffer station in order. The system records the order of the toothpaste tubes and the identity information of the toothpaste tubes corresponding to the order, and places the toothpaste tubes belonging to one order on the same order tooling board until all the toothpaste tubes under one order are placed on the order tooling board.

[0012] Step 6: Use a robot to clamp all the toothpaste tubes on the order tooling plate in the order in which the toothpaste tubes are placed and move them to the printing and labeling station;

[0013] Step 7: At the printing and labeling station, the printing system retrieves the order information of the toothpaste tubes according to the order in which the toothpaste tubes are placed, and finds the label pattern information of the toothpaste tubes to be labeled from the order information.

[0014] Step 8: Send the label pattern information of multiple toothpaste tubes in one order to the printer in the printing order, and the printer prints the label pattern information on the labels to be attached in sequence according to the printing order;

[0015] Step 9: Attach the printed label pattern to the outer surface of the corresponding toothpaste tube;

[0016] Step 10: After labeling is completed, the robot removes the toothpaste tubes one by one and places them into the order tooling plate;

[0017] Step 11: After all the toothpastes for an order have been placed on the order tooling board, it will be transferred to the gift box packaging station;

[0018] Step 12: Place all the toothpastes from one order into the same gift box and print the order specifications on the gift box;

[0019] Repeat steps 1 to 12 until all orders are completed.

[0020] The advantage of this method is that during production, through the personalized service intelligent experience production line of this application, the toothpaste tube body is first fixed on the filling tooling plate through the toothpaste tube body feeding mechanism, and the electronic tag on the filling tooling plate is given the identity information of the toothpaste tube body to be filled. The toothpaste tube body is driven through a plurality of filling machines through the filling circulation line. Each filling machine position is equipped with a label identifier. The multiple label identifiers are matched with the electronic tags one by one. When one of the label identifiers completes the identity match with the electronic tag, the filling machine corresponding to the label identifier starts to perform the filling action. This identification process completes the selection of the flavor in the order. The filling machine completes the filling of the toothpaste tube body according to the weight information in the order information, completing the selection of the net weight of the toothpaste in the order.

[0021] After filling, the toothpaste tube enters the capping device for capping; after capping, the toothpaste tube enters the printing and labeling unit. After the robot recognizes the identity of the toothpaste tube, it transfers multiple toothpaste tubes belonging to the same order to an order tooling plate. When the quantity of toothpaste on the order tooling plate meets the order requirements, the robot transfers the toothpaste tubes on an order to the printing and labeling all-in-one machine at the same time.

[0022] Each workstation is independent of each other, so that the production of each toothpaste does not interfere with each other. By adopting this method to continuously fill and package toothpaste, different customized orders can be processed continuously, realizing continuous batch production of customized toothpaste orders.

[0023] Furthermore, before step 1, the process also includes the following steps:

[0024] Step D1: The user personalizes the order through the product customization function module in the client, including selecting the toothpaste flavor, weight, amount of toothpaste loaded in the gift box, and designing the label pattern.

[0025] Step D2: Submit the order. The client first determines the compliance of the order content and sends the orders that meet the regulations to the order processing system.

[0026] Step D3: The order processing system parses the order, assigns identity information to each order, and parses the order content into processing parameters.

[0027] Step D4: The processing parameters in each order are decomposed into each workstation to form a work order, and the work order inherits the same identity information.

[0028] Step D5: Send the work order to the controller of each workstation.

[0029] Step D6: The controller of each workstation sorts the received work orders according to a predetermined order.

[0030] After the above order processing, when it arrives at each workstation, the controller at the workstation only stores the work order information, and completes the identity matching hand in the filling step. Each workstation only needs to call the work order according to the identity of the toothpaste tube body, so as to dynamically correct the processing parameters of the workstation.

[0031] Furthermore, the step three also includes the step of correcting the filling weight:

[0032] Step E1: During the filling process, a weighing sensor is used to weigh the filling amount of the toothpaste tube.

[0033] Step E2: After filling is completed, the weighing sensor feeds back the filling amount. If there is a deviation between the feedback amount of the weighing sensor and the preset filling amount.

[0034] Step E3: Mark the toothpaste tubes with filling volume deviations, and remove the toothpaste tubes with deviations at a removal station.

[0035] Step E4: collecting the rotation amount of the motor performing filling in the filling machine, and calculating the unit rotation amount of the motor that causes the deviation in the current filling according to the current motor rotation amount and the feedback amount of the weighing sensor.

[0036] Step E5: Calculate the unit rotation amount of the motor after eliminating the deviation.

[0037] Step E6: When the filling machine is filling again, the motor in the filling machine performs a new unit rotation.

[0038] Because toothpaste flavors vary, separate filling machines are required to fill different flavors of toothpaste separately. Therefore, the fluidity of the toothpaste paste may be different in each filling machine. In addition, the filling volume may differ due to mechanical wear during the filling process of the filling machine. Through the above steps, the filling accuracy of the toothpaste filling machine is corrected once each time a toothpaste tube is filled. Therefore, the differences caused by the different fluidity of the toothpaste paste and the wear of the filling machine itself are eliminated from the control level.

[0039] Furthermore, between step four and step five, a step of inspecting the quality of the cap is included. A camera is used to capture a vertical downward image of the cap, and the image is input into a detection model. The detection model identifies whether there are defects in the cap. If there is a toothpaste tube with a defective cap, the system will mark it and reject it at the rejection station. The toothpaste tube will then be re-produced.

[0040] Furthermore, step five includes adjusting the direction of the toothpaste tube. A visual sensor installed at the buffer station detects the direction of the toothpaste tube. If the visual sensor detects that the direction of the toothpaste tube is inconsistent with the preset direction, the difference between the current and preset directions is transmitted to the system. The system then controls the robot arm to grasp the toothpaste tube while rotating the gripper to adjust the direction. This direction adjustment ensures that the specific area on the label remains consistent with the direction during subsequent labeling.

[0041] Furthermore, between step five and step six, it also includes a processing step for filling unqualified toothpaste tubes, in which the unqualified toothpaste tubes are removed to the unqualified channel by a robotic arm, and other qualified toothpaste tubes under an order are placed in the same order tooling board, and then the order tooling board is temporarily stored on the shelf waiting. The system calls the filling work order involving the unqualified toothpaste tube bodies, and the filling station re-executes the filling work order. The refilled toothpaste tube bodies are replaced in the order tooling board, so that all toothpaste tube bodies under an order are qualified.

[0042] Furthermore, in step seven, a printing and labeling all-in-one machine is used to complete the one-time printing of all labels under an order. The printing and labeling all-in-one machine includes a truss and multiple label sorting platforms, and the multiple label sorting platforms are placed at equal intervals. The truss is located above the label sorting platform, and a printer is slidably provided on the truss. The label sorting platform includes a label unfolding plane, and a label placing roller and a label pasting machine are respectively provided at both ends of the label unfolding plane; a rotating roller for flattening is provided between the label placing roller and the label unfolding plane, and between the label unfolding plane and the label pasting machine. The curled label is placed on the label placing roller, and the label belt is driven by passing through the rotating roller. The label belt includes a label backing paper at the bottom and a label paper slightly pasted on the surface of the label backing paper. The negative pressure on the upper surface of the label sorting platform adsorbs the label backing paper, and the side of the label sorting platform is provided with an edge to prevent the edge of the label paper from curling up. The label is flattened after passing through the label sorting platform, and the printer slides on the truss. When the printer moves to the printing area, the printing of the label is completed, the toothpaste tube body is placed on the label pasting machine, and the printed label enters the label pasting machine driven by the rotating roller to complete pasting.

[0043] Furthermore, between step eight and step nine, a step of detecting the label printing quality is also included. When printing is completed, an image of the printed label is captured by a camera, and the image is input into a detection model. The detection model identifies whether there are printing defects such as color difference, printing position deviation, and incorrect printing content after the label is printed. If there is a label with printing defects, the labeling of the toothpaste tube body is completed normally first, and the toothpaste tube body label printing is marked as defective in the system. When the toothpaste tube body reaches the rejection station, the toothpaste tube body is rejected.

[0044] Between step nine and step ten, a step of inspecting the labeling quality is also included: when the toothpaste labeling is completed, the labeling position of the toothpaste tube is inspected. If it is found that the two ends of the label seam are not parallel and the height difference between the two ends is greater than 0.5mm, it is determined that there is a defect in the labeling. When the toothpaste tube reaches the rejection station, the toothpaste tube is rejected; when there is a situation where toothpaste tubes are rejected under an order, the remaining toothpaste tubes of the order will be cached, and the system will re-call the work order information of the rejected toothpaste tubes for reprocessing. Until all the toothpaste tubes under an order meet the standards, the cached order will enter the next process.

[0045] After step 12, the process also includes steps for storing and retrieving gift boxes. Gift boxes are divided into mail collection and on-site collection according to the user's collection requirements. Gift boxes marked as mail collection enter the mail channel, and gift boxes collected on-site are placed in smart shelves. The smart shelves include multi-layer shelves. First, the gift boxes are placed on the shelves by a robot. The pickup control system records the location of the gift boxes. The customer scans the pickup code, enters the pickup control system through the pickup code, enters the order number of the gift box, and the pickup control system controls the robot to take the gift box corresponding to the order and hand it over to the customer.

[0059] The label sorting platform 2-14 has a raised edge on the side for placing the label paper. The label is flattened after passing through the label sorting platform. The printer slides on the truss. When the printer moves to the printing area, the label printing is completed. The toothpaste tube body is placed on the label pasting machine. The printed label enters the label pasting machine 2-15 driven by the rotating roller to complete the pasting.

[0060] Example 2:

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown: The continuous production process of toothpaste based on personalized customization includes the following steps:

[0062] Step 1 S01: fix the toothpaste tube body on a filling tooling plate with an electronic tag, and assign an information code corresponding to the toothpaste tube body to the electronic tag, and the information code is linked to the identity information of the order.

[0063] Step 2 S02, using multiple independent filling machines loaded with toothpaste pastes of different flavors, each filling machine is equipped with an identifier at the filling position, and the identifier stores the flavor information of the corresponding filling machine; when the toothpaste tube enters the filling area, the identifier of each filling machine is matched with the information code in turn until the taste information in the information code is the same as that of the identifier, and the toothpaste tube corresponding to the information code will stay at the filling position corresponding to the identifier.

[0064] Step three S03, the filling machine obtains the preset weight parameters of the toothpaste tube through the identifier, and the filling machine adjusts the filling amount of the toothpaste tube according to the preset weight parameters.

[0065] Step 4 S04: After the toothpaste tube on the filling tooling plate is filled, the filling tooling plate drives the toothpaste tube to enter the capping station, and the capping station performs the capping action.

[0066] Step five S05, after the capping is completed, the toothpaste tube bodies enter the cache station in order. The system records the order of the toothpaste tube bodies and the identity information of the toothpaste tube bodies corresponding to the order, and places the toothpaste tube bodies belonging to one order on the same order tooling board until all the toothpaste tube bodies under one order are placed on the order tooling board.

[0067] Step 6 S06: Use a robot to clamp all the toothpaste tubes on the order tooling plate according to the order in which the toothpaste tubes are placed and bring them to the printing and labeling station.

[0068] Step 7 S07: At the printing and labeling station, the printing system retrieves the order information of the toothpaste tubes according to the order in which the toothpaste tubes are placed, and finds the label pattern information of the toothpaste tubes to be labeled from the order information.

[0069] Step eight S08: The label pattern information of multiple toothpaste tubes in one order is sent to the printer in a printing order, and the printer prints the label pattern information onto the labels to be attached in sequence in the printing order.

[0070] Step nine S09: affix the printed label pattern to the outer surface of the corresponding toothpaste tube.

[0071] Step 10 S10: After labeling is completed, the robot removes the toothpaste tubes in sequence and places them into the order tooling plate;

[0072] Step 11 S11: After all the toothpastes under an order have been placed on the order tooling board, it is transferred to the gift box packaging station.

[0073] Step 12 S12: Put the toothpastes belonging to one order into the same gift box, and print the order specification information on the gift box.

[0074] Repeat steps 1 to 12 until all orders are completed.

[0075] Between step 4 S04 and step 5 S05, the step of inspecting the quality of the cap is included. The camera captures a vertical downward image of the cap, and the image is input into the detection model. The detection model identifies whether there are defects in the cap. If there is a toothpaste tube with a defective cap, the system will mark it and reject it at the rejection station. The toothpaste tube will be re-produced.

[0076] Step 5 (S05) also includes a step for adjusting the direction of the toothpaste tube. A visual sensor installed at the buffer station detects the direction of the toothpaste tube. If the visual sensor detects that the direction of the toothpaste tube is inconsistent with the preset direction, the difference between the current direction and the preset direction is transmitted to the system. The system then controls the robot arm to grasp the toothpaste tube and adjust the direction by rotating the robot arm's gripper. This direction adjustment ensures that the specific area on the label remains consistent with the direction during subsequent labeling.

[0077] Between step five S05 and step six S06, the process also includes a step for processing unqualified toothpaste tube bodies. Unqualified toothpaste tube bodies are removed to the unqualified channel by a robot arm, and other qualified toothpaste tube bodies under an order are placed in the same order tooling board. The order tooling board is then temporarily stored on the shelf and waits. The system calls the filling work order involving the unqualified toothpaste tube body, and the filling station re-executes the filling work order. The refilled toothpaste tube body is replaced in the tooling board, so that all toothpaste tube bodies under an order are qualified.

[0078] Between step eight S08 and step nine S09, a step of detecting the label printing quality is also included. When printing is completed, the image of the printed label is captured by the camera, and the image is input into the detection model. The detection model identifies whether there are printing defects such as color difference, printing position deviation, and incorrect printing content after the label is printed. If there is a label with printing defects, the labeling of the toothpaste tube body is completed normally first, and the toothpaste tube body label printing is marked as defective in the system. When the toothpaste tube body reaches the rejection station, the toothpaste tube body is rejected.

[0079] Between step nine S09 and step ten S10, a step of inspecting the labeling quality is also included: when the toothpaste labeling is completed, the labeling position of the toothpaste tube is inspected. If it is found that the two ends of the label seam are not parallel and the height difference between the two ends is greater than 0.5mm, it is determined that there is a defect in the labeling. When the toothpaste tube reaches the rejection station, the toothpaste tube is rejected; when there is a situation where toothpaste tubes are rejected under an order, the remaining toothpaste tubes of the order will be cached, and the system will re-call the work order information of the rejected toothpaste tubes for reprocessing. Until all the toothpaste tubes under an order meet the standards, the cached order will enter the next process.

The camera captures a vertical downward image of the cap, and the image is input into the detection model. The detection model identifies whether there are defects in the cap. If there is a toothpaste tube with a defective cap, the system will mark it and reject it at the rejection station. The toothpaste tube will be re-produced.

4. The process for continuous production of toothpaste based on personalized customization according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step five, the step of adjusting the direction of the toothpaste is also included: for the toothpaste tube body entering the cache station, a visual sensor is set at the cache station to detect the direction of the toothpaste tube body. When the visual sensor detects that the direction of the toothpaste tube body is inconsistent with the preset direction, the difference between the current direction and the preset direction is transmitted to the system. The system controls the robot arm to clamp the toothpaste tube body while completing the direction adjustment by rotating the gripper of the robot arm.

5. The continuous production process of toothpaste based on personalized customization according to claim 1, characterized in that: Between step five and step six, it also includes a processing step for filling unqualified toothpaste tubes. The unqualified toothpaste tubes are removed to the unqualified channel by a robotic arm, and other qualified toothpaste tubes under an order are placed in the same order tooling board. The order tooling board is then temporarily stored on the shelf and waits. The system calls the filling work order involving the unqualified toothpaste tubes, and the filling station re-executes the filling work order. The refilled toothpaste tubes are replaced in the order tooling board, so that all toothpaste tubes under an order are qualified.

6. The continuous production process of toothpaste based on personalized customization according to claim 5, characterized in that: The labeling machine is used to print all the labels under an order at one time. The labeling machine includes a truss and multiple label sorting platforms. The multiple label sorting platforms are placed at equal intervals. The truss is located above the label sorting platform. A printer is slidably provided on the truss. The label sorting platform includes a label unfolding plane. At both ends of the label unfolding plane are a label placing roller and a label pasting machine. Rotating rollers for flattening are provided between the label placing roller and the label unfolding plane, and between the label unfolding plane and the label pasting machine. The curled label is placed on the label placing roller, and the label belt is driven by the rotating roller. The label belt includes a label backing paper at the bottom and a label paper slightly pasted on the surface of the label backing paper. The negative pressure on the upper surface of the label sorting platform adsorbs the label backing paper. The side of the label sorting platform is provided with an edge to prevent the edge of the label paper from curling up. The label is flattened after passing through the label sorting platform. The printer slides on the truss. When the printer moves to the printing area, the label printing is completed. The toothpaste tube is placed on the label pasting machine, and the printed label enters the label pasting machine driven by the rotating roller to complete pasting.

7. The process for continuous production of toothpaste based on personalized customization according to claim 6, characterized in that: Between step eight and step nine, a step of detecting the label printing quality is also included. When printing is completed, an image of the printed label is captured by a camera, and the image is input into a detection model. The detection model identifies whether there are printing defects such as color difference, printing position deviation, and incorrect printing content after the label is printed. If there is a label with printing defects, the labeling of the toothpaste tube body is completed normally first, and the toothpaste tube body label printing is marked as defective in the system. When the toothpaste tube body reaches the rejection station, the toothpaste tube body is rejected.

8. The process for continuous production of toothpaste based on personalized customization according to claim 7, characterized in that: Between step nine and step ten, a step of inspecting the labeling quality is also included: when the toothpaste labeling is completed, the labeling position of the toothpaste tube is inspected. If it is found that the two ends of the label seam are not parallel and the height difference between the two ends is greater than 0.5mm, it is determined that there is a defect in the labeling. When the toothpaste tube reaches the rejection station, the toothpaste tube is rejected; when there is a situation where toothpaste tubes are rejected under an order, the remaining toothpaste tubes of the order will be cached, and the system will re-call the work order information of the rejected toothpaste tubes for reprocessing. Until all the toothpaste tubes under an order meet the standards, the cached order will enter the next process.

9. The process for continuous production of toothpaste based on personalized customization according to claim 8, characterized in that: After step 12, the process also includes steps for storing and retrieving gift boxes. Gift boxes are divided into mail collection and on-site collection according to the user's collection requirements. Gift boxes marked as mail collection enter the mail channel, and gift boxes collected on-site are placed in smart shelves. The smart shelves include multi-layer shelves. First, the gift boxes are placed on the shelves by a robot. The pickup control system records the location of the gift boxes. The customer scans the pickup code, enters the pickup control system through the pickup code, enters the order number of the gift box, and the pickup control system controls the robot to take the gift box corresponding to the order and hand it over to the customer.
