A plurality of second suction cups 1014 are provided on the second plate 1012 and are spaced apart along direction A. A camera component 601 is mounted on the grasping component 101. The first plate 1011 and the second plate 1012 are used to install the first suction cup 1013 and the second suction cup 1014, respectively, so that the first suction cup 1013 and the second suction cup 1014 can work separately, thereby achieving the effect of using the most suitable suction cup to pick up and load materials according to the product type. The camera device is used to distinguish the products to be loaded, identify the type of products to be loaded, and use the corresponding suction cup for loading, thereby improving the applicability of the loading device.

[0056] When filling the first filling barrel, the first suction cup 1013 is used to pick up the filling barrel and feed it; when filling the second filling barrel, the second suction cup 1014 is used to pick up the filling barrel and feed it.

[0057] The first shaft 103 includes a first rotating shaft 1031, and the gripping assembly 101 also includes a shaft connecting plate 1015. The rotating shaft is connected to the shaft connecting plate 1015 and rotates along the first axis θ. The first shaft 103 is used to rotate the gripping assembly 101 along the first axis θ, thereby adjusting the angle of the gripping assembly 101 along the first axis θ.

[0058] The second shaft 104 includes a second rotating shaft 1041, which is connected to the end of the first shaft 103 away from the gripping assembly 101. The second rotating shaft 1041 rotates along a second axis α. The second shaft 104 is used to rotate the first shaft 103 along the second axis α, thereby adjusting the orientation of the first shaft 103 and thus adjusting the orientation of the gripping assembly 101.

[0059] The feeding unit 1 also includes a first base 105, which includes a third rotating shaft 1051. The third rotating shaft 1051 is connected to the end of the second shaft 104 away from the second rotating shaft 1041, and the third rotating shaft 1051 rotates along the second axis α. The first base 105 is used to mount the second shaft 104 and adjust the orientation of the second shaft 104 along the second axis α, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the gripper assembly.

[0060] The first base 105 also includes a rotating disk 1052, a base 1053, and a fourth rotating shaft 1054. A third rotating shaft 1051 is mounted on the rotating disk 1052, and the base 1053 is mounted on the base 1053 via the fourth rotating shaft 1054.

[0061] Example 3: See Appendix Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 and attached Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 1. Specifically, the intelligent packaging line further includes a position adjustment unit 6. Two position adjustment units 6 are provided and respectively located on the first production line 8 and the auxiliary production line 10. The position adjustment unit 6 is located downstream of the feeding unit 1. The position adjustment unit 6 includes: Camera assembly 601, which includes a control processor, is used to acquire product information; Guide assembly 602 includes a drive component 6021 and a push component 6022. A control processor is connected to the drive component 6021. The drive component 6021 is used to drive the push component 6022 along the H direction. According to the transport direction of the product, a camera component 601 is disposed at the front end of the guide assembly 602. In a specific implementation, a QR code containing product information, including the product model, is affixed to the product to be processed. The camera component 601 can obtain the product information through the QR code, thereby determining the product model and transmitting the product model information to the guide component 602. The guide component 602 classifies the product based on the obtained product model. When the camera component 601 identifies the smaller filling barrel 2, the drive component of the guide component 602 drives the pusher 6022 to push the product along the H direction. When the camera component 601 identifies the larger filling barrel 1, the guide component 602 does not operate, thereby changing the position of the smaller filling barrel 2 and separating the positions of filling barrel 2 and filling barrel 1, thus classifying products of different models.

[0062] In this technical solution, the camera component 601 acquires product information, the control processor determines the product type, and transmits the product type information to the guide component 602, which facilitates subsequent product classification. The guide component 602 guides the products to the corresponding positions according to their types, thereby packing the products. The drive component 6021 drives the push component 6022, which changes the position of the products, thus classifying them. By using the camera component 601 to acquire product information and identify the products, the product type is determined. Based on the product type, the guide component 602 pushes the products to the corresponding positions, thereby completing the automatic classification of the products. This facilitates subsequent packaging and saves on manual classification steps, improving product packaging efficiency and saving costs.

[0063] The transport component 603 extends along the K direction, and the guide component 602 is disposed on the transport component 603; the transport component 603 is used to transport products, thereby enabling the guide component 602 to classify the products and facilitate subsequent packaging.

[0064] The transport component 603 includes an output end, and a guide component 602 is disposed at the output end. The output end is used to connect to external packaging components to facilitate packaging after product sorting.

[0065] The camera assembly 601 includes a plurality of cameras 6011 arranged in a circle, with the center of the circle located on the central axis in the K direction of the transport assembly 603. The circular arrangement of the cameras 6011 facilitates the acquisition of product information from all angles, thus reducing errors.

[0066] Example 4: See Appendix Figure 9 Appendix Figure 10 Appendix Figure 11 Appendix Figure 12 and attached Figure 13As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment one. The specific improvement is as follows: the limiting guide unit 2 includes: a first limiting structure 201, the first limiting structure 201 forming a limiting space 2011 extending along the C direction and having an input port 20111 and an output port 20112; The second limiting structure 202 is configured at the output port 20112 of the first limiting structure 201, and the second limiting structure 202 can block or open the output port 20112 of the first limiting structure 201. The first limiting structure 201 and the second limiting structure 202 are configured on the auxiliary assembly line 10, which is capable of conveying the product along the C direction. By limiting the product in the limiting space 2011 of the first limiting structure 201, the position of the product on the auxiliary production line 10 can be adjusted; by blocking the product in the limiting space 2011 by the second limiting structure 202, it is convenient for the robot arm 702 to handle the product or to separate products in a pre-ordered group, thereby improving the applicability.

[0067] The first limiting structure 201 includes at least a first limiting unit 2012 and a second limiting unit 2013 symmetrically disposed on both sides of the auxiliary assembly line 10; wherein, the first limiting unit 2012 or the second limiting unit 2013 includes at least a first driving device 20121 disposed on the side of the auxiliary assembly line 10 and a limiting plate 20122 driven by the first driving device 20121 to approach or move away from the inner side of the auxiliary assembly line 10; The second limiting structure 202 includes at least: a first gantry 2021 having a connected rotating part 20211 and an abutting part 20212; and a second driving device 2022, which is disposed on the side of the auxiliary assembly line 10 for driving the rotating part 20211 of the first gantry 2021 to rotate so that the abutting part 20212 blocks or opens the output port 20112 of the limiting space 2011.

[0068] See appendix Figure 10 Appendix Figure 11 As shown, the first limiting unit 2012 and the second limiting unit 2013 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the auxiliary production line 10; the first limiting unit 2012 is used as an example in the following description.

[0069] See appendix Figure 11 As shown, the first limiting unit 2012 includes a first driving device 20121 and a limiting plate 20122 driven by the first driving device 20121; the first driving device 20121 may be a driving cylinder, the limiting plate 20122 is parallel to the side of the auxiliary assembly line 10, and the limiting plate 20122 is located above the auxiliary assembly line 10.

[0070] The first driving device 20121 of the first limiting unit 2012 and the second limiting unit 2013 synchronously drives the limiting plate 20122 to move toward the inside of the auxiliary production line 10, so that the limiting space 2011 formed between the two limiting plates 20122 gradually decreases, so that the product is limited and shaped when passing through the limiting space 2011. It has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, and good centering and limiting shaping effect, and is practical.

[0071] The first limiting unit 2012 or the second limiting unit 2013 further includes a third driving device 2014 disposed on the side of the auxiliary assembly line 10 for controlling the first driving device 20121 and the limiting plate 20122 to synchronously move closer to or further away from the inner side of the auxiliary assembly line 10. A support plate 2015 is disposed on the side of the conveyor frame, and a first guide rail 2016 is disposed on the support plate 2015. The first driving device 20121 and the limiting plate 20122 are slidably disposed on the first guide rail 2016 via a slider 2017.

[0072] See appendix Figure 10 Appendix Figure 11 As shown, the third driving device 2014 can be a driving cylinder; the third driving device 2014 can drive the first driving device 20121 and the limiting plate 20122 to move on the first guide rail 2016 via the slider 2017, so as to move closer to or further away from the inner side of the auxiliary production line 10; with this arrangement, the range of movement of the limiting plate 20122 relative to the auxiliary production line 10 can be further increased, the volume of the limiting space 2011 formed between the two limiting plates 20122 can be expanded, and the shaping and limiting of products of different sizes can be guaranteed in this application.

[0073] The end of the limiting plate 20122 near the input port 20111 of the limiting space 2011 is configured to be bent away from the auxiliary production line 10. The angle at which the end of the limiting plate 20122 near the input port 20111 of the limiting space 2011 is bent is 20° to 50°.

[0074] See appendix Figure 10 Appendix Figure 11 As shown, the portions of the two limiting plates 20122 near the input port 20111 of the limiting space 2011 are configured in a funnel shape to guide products located at different positions on the auxiliary assembly line 10, allowing the products to smoothly enter the limiting space 2011 formed by the two limiting plates 20122, thus improving the usability of this application. By adjusting the bending angle of the ends of the limiting plates 20122 to 30°, guidance for most products can be achieved.

[0075] Example 5: See Appendix Figure 14 Appendix Figure 15 Appendix Figure 16 Appendix Figure 17 Appendix Figure 18 Appendix Figure 19 and attached Figure 20 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 1. The specific improvement is as follows: Arrangement unit 3 includes: The first production line 8 is capable of conveying products along the D direction; Arrangement mechanism 302 and limiting mechanism 303 are arranged sequentially along direction D on the first production line 8; The arranging mechanism 302 is used to arrange the products conveyed along the D direction of the first production line 8 sequentially along the E direction of the first production line 8; the limiting mechanism 303 can receive and block the products conveyed along the E direction by the first production line 8, and when several products arranged along the E direction are accumulated into a group, it can release the obstruction to the products so that the products can be conveyed by the first production line 8 to the next station. See appendix Figure 16 As shown, direction D is the direction in which the first production line 8 transports products, and direction E is perpendicular to direction D.

[0076] See appendix Figure 14 As shown, when conveying and packaging the encapsulated Sun Ink, the product is first placed on the first production line 8. Then, the first production line 8 is used to convey the product to the arrangement mechanism 302. The arrangement mechanism 302 can arrange the products moving in the D direction in the E direction, so that the arranged products can be conveyed by the first production line 8 to the limiting mechanism 303. The limiting mechanism 303 can restrict the products from continuing to move with the first production line 8, so as to: accumulate the corresponding number of products into a group, reduce the steps of screening the quantity and type of products before packaging, improve the efficiency of subsequent packaging and sealing of Sun Ink products, and have practicality.

[0077] The arrangement mechanism 302 includes at least a guide diversion unit 3021 and a reversing unit 3022 arranged sequentially along the D direction. The guide diversion unit 3021 can block the products conveyed by the first production line 8 along the D direction and release them sequentially to the reversing unit 3022. By configuring the guide diversion unit 3021, products can be conveyed to the reversing unit 3022 one by one, reducing the pressure on the reversing unit 3022 to arrange the products. The reversing unit 3022 can arrange the products released sequentially by the guide diversion unit 3021 along the E direction on the first production line 8, so that after the products are conveyed by the first production line 8 along the D direction, they can be restricted by the limiting mechanism 303 according to their position along the E direction, realizing the arrangement of several products as a group in this application, reducing the steps of manually placing products.

[0078] The guide and diversion unit 3021 includes: a guide plate 30211, which is disposed on the first production line 8 and is configured to move along the E direction to push the products on the first production line 8; and at least two sets of limiting cylinders 30212 arranged along the D direction, which are disposed on the first production line 8 on the side opposite to the guide plate 30211.

[0079] See appendix Figure 16 Appendix Figure 17 Appendix Figure 18 As shown, each limiting cylinder 30212 has a stop block installed at its extended shaft end. The stop block has a wedge-shaped surface. This arrangement allows the stop block to effectively block the products conveyed along the D direction on the first production line 8. In one specific embodiment, at least three limiting cylinders 30212 are configured along the D direction. The three limiting cylinders 30212 are named sequentially along the D direction as the first limiting cylinder 30212, the second limiting cylinder 30212, and the third limiting cylinder 30212. The third limiting cylinder 30212 and the second limiting cylinder 30212 are used to restrict the movement of products toward the first limiting cylinder 30212. The first limiting cylinder 30212 can block and release products by controlling the extension and retraction of the stop block, so that the products can move toward the reversing unit 3022 in an orderly manner, reducing the pressure of the reversing unit 3022 on the products.

[0080] The reversing unit 3022 includes: a second gantry 30221, which is disposed on the first production line 8; and a pusher plate 30222, which is located on the second gantry 30221 and is configured to move only in the E direction to push products flowing in the D direction through the guide diversion unit 3021 on the first production line 8. The reversing unit 3022 also includes a fourth drive device 30224 vertically disposed in the middle of the second gantry 30221 and a stop bar 30225 vertically driven by the fourth drive device 30224.

[0081] See appendix Figure 17 Appendix Figure 18 As shown, the push plate 30222 is driven by the linear module 30223 configured on the second gantry 30221, thereby enabling the push plate 30222 to move only in the E direction; the fourth drive device 30224 for driving the vertical movement of the stop bar 30225 can be a cylinder, and the stop bar 30225 has two bars, so as to be able to fit the housing of the encapsulated Sun Ink products.

[0082] When the stop bar 30225 moves vertically downward to block the product from moving in the D direction, the stop bar 30225 is located in the middle of the first production line 8. The push plate 30222 moves in the E direction to push the product to both sides of the stop bar 30225, so that three products are placed in the E direction of the first production line 8.

[0083] When reversing the direction of products conveyed along the D direction, the linear module 30223 first drives the pusher plate 30222 forward along the E direction to push the product to one side of the stop bar 30225. Then, the linear module 30223 drives the first stop plate 3032 backward along the E direction to push the product to the other side of the stop bar 30225. Finally, the linear module 30223 drives the pusher plate 30222 to move away from the product, and the product moves with the first production line 8 to the two stop bars 30225 where it is limited. Then, the fourth drive device 30224 controls the stop bar 30225 to move upward to release the restriction on the product, so that the product moves with the first production line 8 along the D direction to the limiting mechanism 303. With this setting, three products can be placed at different positions in the E direction, and the limiting mechanism 303 can be used to align the three products, realizing the arrangement and placement of products. It has the characteristics of high mechanization, improves the efficiency of packaging and sealing of Sun Ink, and is practical.

[0084] The limiting mechanism 303 includes at least a rotating rod 3031 disposed above the first production line 8, a first baffle 3032 that rotates synchronously with the rotating rod 3031, and a transmission unit for controlling the rotation of the rotating rod 3031. The transmission unit includes a rocker arm 30331 that rotates synchronously with the rotating rod 3031, and an extension cylinder 30332 hinged to the side of the first production line 8; wherein the extension shaft end of the extension cylinder 30332 is hinged to the rocker arm 30331.

[0085] See appendix Figure 14 Appendix Figure 19 Appendix Figure 20 As shown, in the initial state, the rocker arm 30331 is rotated by extending the cylinder 30332. The rocker arm 30331 drives the rotating rod 3031 to rotate, so that the first baffle 3032 is in a vertical state, forming a blockage against the products of the first production line 8 along the D direction.

[0086] When the products blocked by the first baffle 3032 accumulate to a group, the rocker arm 30331 can be rotated by extending the cylinder 30332, causing the bottom end of the first baffle 3032 to swing away from the second gantry 30221. The bottom end of the first baffle 3032 no longer restricts the products, and the products are conveyed to the next station along direction D on the first production line 8. This setup enables automatic counting of each group of products requiring packaging and sealing, improving packaging and sealing efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0087] In other possible implementations, the transmission unit may also be a servo motor 40601; the servo motor 40601 directly drives the rotating rod 3031 to rotate, so that the bottom end of the first baffle 3032 rotates, thereby limiting the product in the D direction.

[0088] The bottom end of the first baffle 3032 has a recessed accommodating space, and an accommodating plate 3034 that can be rotated to be parallel or perpendicular to the first baffle 3032 is disposed in the accommodating space. An accommodating groove 30341 adapted to the product is formed on the accommodating plate 3034.

[0089] See appendix Figure 14 Appendix Figure 15 Appendix Figure 16 Appendix Figure 19 Appendix Figure 20 As shown, the receiving plate 3034 can be driven by a servo motor 40601 or a rotary cylinder 40703 mounted on the first baffle 3032, so that the receiving plate 3034 can be parallel or perpendicular to the first baffle 3032; the receiving plate 3034 is provided with three sets of receiving slots 30341, which are arc-shaped and are used to accommodate and block the products conveyed by the first production line 8 along the D direction.

[0090] In the initial state, the first baffle 3032 is in a vertical state, and the receiving plate 3034 is perpendicular to the first baffle 3032; the receiving groove 30341 on the receiving plate 3034 can form a blockage against the products conveyed along the D direction of the first production line 8.

[0091] When the products blocked by the receiving plate 3034 accumulate to a group, the receiving plate 3034 is controlled to rotate downward at the end in contact with the product. At the same time, the bottom end of the first baffle 3032 is controlled to flip upward, thereby releasing the obstruction of the product and allowing the accumulated products to be conveyed by the first production line 8 along the D direction to the next processing station. By blocking the product with the receiving plate 3034, the stability of the product's position on the first production line 8 when it is obstructed can be improved, and the possibility of product displacement can be reduced.

[0092] The limiting mechanism 303 also includes a return structure disposed between the arranging mechanism 302 and the first baffle 3032. When the products arranged along the E direction on the first production line 8 are displaced, the return structure can correct the position of the products so that they are blocked by the first baffle 3032.

[0093] In this embodiment, the first production line 8 is used to transport products to the arranging mechanism 302. The arranging mechanism 302 can arrange products moving along the D direction in the E direction, so that the arranged products can be transported by the first production line 8 to the limiting mechanism 303. The limiting mechanism 303 can restrict the products from continuing to move with the first production line 8, so that the corresponding number of products can be accumulated into a group, reducing the steps of quantity and type screening before product packaging, improving the efficiency of subsequent product packaging and sealing, and is practical.

[0094] Example 6: See Appendix Figure 21 To be continued Figure 24 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 1, and the specific improvement method is as follows: See appendix Figure 21 and attached Figure 23 As shown, the categorized boxed unit 4 includes: Packing unit 404, there are several packing units 404, and each packing unit 404 is arranged sequentially along the flow direction; each packing unit 404 includes a packing mechanism 4041, which moves back and forth between the first production line 8 and the second production line 9. See appendix Figure 22 and attached Figure 24 As shown, the packing mechanism 4041 includes: Horizontal moving frame 406; Transfer assembly 407 is located below horizontal mounting bracket 405 and is vertically movable on horizontal moving bracket 406; The feeding component 408 is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the transfer component 407 and moves up and down synchronously with the transfer component 407.

[0095] The packing mechanism 4041 picks up the products to be packed from the first production line 8 and then puts them into the packaging box 11 on the second production line 9. Products with different placement types are identified and transported to the bottom of the corresponding packing unit 404, where they are loaded into the packaging box 11 by the corresponding packing mechanism 4041.

[0096] Among them, the packaging boxes 11 have the same structure, but different identification labels can be affixed to the outside.

[0097] In some embodiments, three packing units 404 are provided. Each packing unit 404 includes a sensor for detecting whether the product is in place and the type of product placement, and also includes a sensor for detecting different labels on the outside of the packaging box 11. The sensors mentioned here are all prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0098] The horizontal moving frame 406 of the packing mechanism 4041 can move back and forth, realizing horizontal transfer, and can move back and forth between the first production line 8 and the second production line 9; the transfer component 407 is set on the horizontal moving frame 406 to move up and down, realizing vertical transfer, and together with the feeding component 408, it can realize vertical picking and feeding of products. The feeding component 408 is rotatably set, which can realize the rotation adjustment of products.

[0099] See appendix Figure 25 As shown, the packing unit 404 includes a mounting frame 4042, with a horizontal mounting bracket 405 at its upper end. A second guide rail 40501 is mounted on the horizontal mounting bracket 405, and a horizontal moving bracket 406 is mounted on the second guide rail 40501. A synchronous belt 40502 is located inside the horizontal mounting bracket 405, connecting to the lower end of the horizontal moving bracket 406 and driving it to move back and forth on the second guide rail 40501. The horizontal moving bracket 406 is connected to the horizontal mounting bracket 405 via the second guide rail 40501, ensuring good transfer accuracy; the horizontal moving bracket 406 achieves transmission via the synchronous belt 40502, resulting in high transfer efficiency.

[0100] See appendix Figure 25 and attached Figure 26 As shown, a motor 40601 is installed on the horizontal moving frame 406. The transfer assembly 407 includes a transfer frame 40701 and a vertically arranged rack 40702. The transfer frame 40701 is vertically movable on the rack 40702. The rack 40702 is connected to the motor 40601 and drives the transfer frame 40701 to move up and down. A rotary cylinder 40703 is installed inside the transfer frame 40701, and the rotary linear cylinder is connected to the feeding assembly 408. The vertical movement of the transfer frame 40701 is achieved by the rack 40702 and the motor 40601, which facilitates setting a large stroke range and ensures that the material is fed in place. The rotary cylinder 40703 is connected to the feeding assembly 408, which facilitates the rotation and adjustment of the product's position.

[0101] See appendix Figure 25 and attached Figure 26 As shown, there are two racks 40702, and the motor 40601 is a dual-axis motor 40601. The two racks 40702 are respectively connected to the two shaft ends of the dual-axis motor 40601 through gear meshing. The transmission is achieved through the dual-axis motor 40601 and the two racks 40702, which results in stable transmission and high transmission efficiency.

[0102] See appendix Figure 27As shown, the feeding assembly 408 includes a mounting plate 40801, and a plurality of third suction cups 40802 are provided at the lower end of the mounting plate 40801. The third suction cups 40802 are used to pick up the product, and then the feeding assembly 408 transfers and feeds the product to the required position. The picking is stable and the product is not easily damaged.

[0103] See appendix Figure 27 As shown, two horizontally movable second baffles 40803 are provided on both sides of the mounting plate 40801, and the two second baffles 40803 are arranged to move relative to each other. The movable second baffles 40803 on both sides of the mounting plate 40801 can adjust the distance between the two second baffles 40803 to realize the feeding and handling of combined products of different volumes.

[0104] In this embodiment, several packing units 404 are used to classify and pack several groups of different product combinations. Products of different placement types are identified and transported to the corresponding packing unit 404. The packing mechanism 4041 picks up the products to be packed from the first production line 8 and then puts them into the corresponding packaging box 11 identified on the second production line 9. The packing mechanism 4041 can realize the horizontal and vertical transfer of product groups and the rotation adjustment of product group positions. It has high packing efficiency, does not interfere with the packaging box 11, and the feeding is stable and not easy to fall. It is suitable for classifying and packing multiple product combinations.

[0105] Example 7: See Appendix Figure 28 Appendix Figure 29 Appendix Figure 30 Appendix Figure 31 and attached Figure 32 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment one. The specific improvement is as follows: the sealing unit 5 includes: a feeding rack 502, which is arranged on both sides of the second production line 9, and the second production line 9 can transport the packaging box 11 in the F direction; and a paper pressing assembly, which is arranged on the feeding rack 502. The paper pressing assembly can press down the two opposite short sides of the top of the packaging box 11 transported by the second production line 9 in the F direction, and can press down the two opposite long sides of the top of the packaging box 11 on the two short sides in the G direction, so that the tape can seal the packaging box 11.

[0106] See appendix Figure 29 As shown, direction F is the direction in which the second production line 9 transports the packaging box 11. On the same horizontal plane, direction G is perpendicular to direction F.

[0107] See appendix Figure 29As shown, the second production line 9 includes a frame, rollers rotatably mounted on the frame along the F direction, a drive pulley and a driven pulley arranged on the frame, a conveyor belt arranged on the drive pulley and the driven pulley, and a servo motor 40601 for driving the drive pulley to rotate. It should be noted that the conveyor belt has two sets and is symmetrically distributed on the frame along the F direction so that the packaging box 11 is driven by the two conveyor belts to move along the F direction.

[0108] See appendix Figure 28 As shown, the top of the packaging box 11 has four sides, namely the first long side 50101, the first short side 50102, the second long side 50103, and the second short side 50104. Before sealing the packaging box 11, the first short side 50102 and the second short side 50104 need to be folded down first, and then the first long side 50101 and the second long side 50103 need to be pressed onto the first short side 50102 and the second short side 50104 so that the top of the packaging box 11 can be sealed with tape.

[0109] See appendix Figure 29 Appendix Figure 30 As shown, the packaging box 11 containing the Sun Ink product is conveyed to the area directly below the paper pressing assembly via the second production line 9. The packaging box 11 is conveyed along the F direction via the second production line 9, so that the first short side 50102 of the packaging box 11 near the outlet of the second production line 9 is first pressed down by the paper pressing assembly. Then, the paper pressing assembly presses down the second short side 50104 of the packaging box 11 near the inlet of the second production line 9. Finally, the first long side 50101 and the second long side 50103 of the packaging box 11 are simultaneously pressed onto the first short side 50102 and the second short side 50104 of the packaging box 11, thereby folding the four sides of the top of the packaging box 11. This facilitates the sealing of the top of the packaging box 11 with tape. This arrangement can improve the sealing efficiency of the packaging box 11 containing the product and reduce labor costs.

[0110] The paper pressing assembly includes at least: a keel 5031, which is configured to move vertically on the feeding rack 502, and a pressing structure 5032 is formed at the bottom end of the keel 5031, which can press down the short side of the packaging box 11 near the outlet of the second production line 9; a rotating pressing structure 5033, which is mounted on the keel 5031 and is located at the inlet of the second production line 9 relative to the pressing structure 5032, and can press down the short side of the packaging box 11 near the inlet of the second production line 9; and a side pressing structure 5034, which is configured on the side of the keel 5031 in the G direction, for pressing the two opposite long sides of the packaging box 11 onto the two short sides of the packaging box 11.

[0111] See appendix Figure 28 Appendix Figure 29 Appendix Figure 30 Appendix Figure 31 and attached Figure 32 As shown, the pressing structure 5032 is located on the keel 5031 relatively close to the outlet of the second production line 9. The pressing structure 5032 is used to press the first short side 50102 of the top of the packaging box 11 near the outlet of the second production line 9. The rotating pressing structure 5033 is located on the keel 5031 relatively close to the inlet of the second production line 9. The rotating pressing structure 5033 is used to press the second short side 50104 of the top of the packaging box 11 near the inlet of the second production line 9. The side pressing structure 5034 is located on both sides of the keel 5031 in the G direction. The side pressing structure 5034 can simultaneously press the first long side 50101 and the second long side 50103 of the top of the packaging box 11 onto the first short side 50102 and the second short side 50104.

[0112] When sealing and packing the packaging box 11, the second production line 9 is used to control the packaging box 11 to move along the F direction. The first short side 50102 of the top of the packaging box 11 is located opposite the outlet of the second production line 9, and the second short side 50104 is located opposite the inlet of the second production line 9. At the same time, the drive cylinder connected to the keel 5031 controls the keel 5031 to move downward, so that the pressing structure 5032 moves downward to the top of the packaging box 11. Since the packaging box 11 will pass through the pressing structure 5032 when it moves with the second production line 9, and the pressing structure 5032 is lower than the height of the first short side 50102 of the packaging box 11, the first short side 50104 of the packaging box 11 is lowered to the top of the packaging box 11. One short side 50102 can be bent downwards. Then, the control rotation and pressing structure 5033 bends the second short side 50104 of the packaging box 11. Then, the side pressing structure 5034 applies pressure to the first long side 50101 and the second long side 50103 of the packaging box 11 simultaneously, so that the first long side 50101 and the second long side 50103 of the packaging box 11 are pressed against the first short side 50102 and the second short side 50104, thereby achieving the bending of the four sides of the top of the packaging box 11. This facilitates the subsequent bonding of the packaging box 11 with tape. It has the characteristics of high automation and high packaging efficiency of the packaging box 11, and is practical.

[0113] The pressing structure 5032 is a pressing plate inclined towards the feed inlet of the second production line 9. The rotating pressing structure 5033 includes a first driving device 20121 disposed on the keel 5031 and a push rod 50331 driven to rotate by the first driving device 20121. The side pressing structure 5034 includes: a swing rod 50341, which is rotatably mounted on two sides of the keel 5031 in the G direction; a pressure rod 50342, which is mounted on the swing rod 50341 in the F direction at one end near the second production line 9; and a fifth driving device 50343, which is mounted on the keel 5031 and is used to drive the swing rod 50341 to rotate relative to the keel 5031.

[0114] See appendix Figure 28 Appendix Figure 29 Appendix Figure 30 Appendix Figure 31 and attached Figure 32 As shown, the pressure plate is fixed on the keel 5031, which can bend the first short side 50102 of the packaging box 11 that moves with the second production line 9; the first driving device 20121 is a rotary cylinder 40703 or a servo motor 40601, which controls the push rod 50331 to rotate in the direction of the pressure plate to achieve bending of the second short side 50104 of the packaging box 11; the fifth driving device 50343 is a driving cylinder, which controls the swing rod 50341 to rotate through the second driving cylinder. This allows the lever 50341 to be fixed at the end away from the keel 5031, and the pressure bar 50342 to press against the first long side 50101 and the second long side 50103 of the packaging box 11, thereby bending the first long side 50101 and the second long side 50103 of the packaging box 11. This mechanized bending operation of the four sides of the top of the packaging box 11 can greatly reduce the cost of manual sealing, speed up the sealing efficiency, and avoid damage to the packaging box 11 during the manual sealing process, thus possessing practicality.

[0115] In this embodiment, a pressure plate is used to bend the first short side 50102 of the packaging box 11, which moves with the line. The first driving device 20121 controls the push rod 50331 to bend the second short side 50104 of the packaging box 11. The second driving cylinder controls the swing rod 50341 to rotate so that the pressure rod 50342 can press against the first long side 50101 and the second long side 50103 of the packaging box 11, thereby achieving the bending of the first long side 50101 and the second long side 50103 of the packaging box 11. By performing this mechanized bending operation on the four sides of the top of the packaging box 11, the cost of manual sealing can be greatly reduced, the sealing efficiency can be accelerated, and the damage to the packaging box 11 during the manual sealing process can be avoided, which is practical.

The picking is stable and the stacking efficiency is high.

[0117] See appendix Figure 34 and attached Figure 37 As shown, the material handling unit 703 is provided with two sets. The material handling unit 703 includes a mounting base 70301, and two sets of material handling groups 70302 are provided on the mounting base.

The material handling unit 703 is set with two sets, which can be used for different material handling positions, expand the material handling range, make material handling more stable, and achieve better material handling effect.

[0118] See appendix Figure 35 As shown, two sets of picking groups 70302 on the same picking unit 703 are arranged in parallel, and the picking groups 70302 on the two sets of picking units 703 are arranged vertically. Different arrangement of picking groups 70302 can meet the picking and placement of packaging boxes 11 with different placement methods.

[0119] See appendix Figure 34 and attached Figure 35 As shown, both ends of the first mounting frame 701 are equipped with rotatable grippers 707. The grippers 707 at both ends of the first mounting frame 701 can grab the stacking rack 704, realizing the transfer of the stacking rack 704 in a convenient and quick manner.

[0120] See appendix Figure 36 As shown, the gripper 707 is connected to a material-gripping cylinder 709 via a transmission mechanism 708. The material-gripping cylinder 709 is mounted on a first mounting frame 701. The transmission mechanism 708 includes a transmission shaft 70801 mounted on the first mounting frame 701. A connecting member 70802 is located in the middle of the transmission shaft 70801, and the connecting member 70802 is connected to the material-gripping cylinder 709. The gripper 707 is mounted on a rotating shaft. Through the cooperation of the transmission mechanism 708 and the material-gripping cylinder 709, the gripper 707 can quickly and stably achieve a better rotating material gripping effect.

[0121] In this embodiment, the packaging box 11 can be picked up by the picking unit 703 at the lower end of the mounting frame, and the packaging box 11 can be neatly transported to the stacking rack 704 with the help of the robot arm 702. After the stacking rack 704 is full, the grabber 707 will send the stacking rack 704 to the designated place for storage. The picking is safe, stable and the stacking efficiency is high.

[0122] This invention is not limited to feeding, conveying, and packaging barrelled items; it can also be used for bagged items, slab-shaped items, and other items that meet the application requirements of a packaging line.
