Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent toothpaste production, and in particular to a personalized service intelligent experience production line. 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 packaging design, flavor, and weight options and place orders. These orders are characterized by a small quantity of toothpaste per order and each tube includes user-defined features. Due to the large number of consumers, these orders are numerous, with numerous orders, small quantities, and varying requirements. Each order is highly personalized, including customization of packaging design, color, layout, and text, as well as arbitrary toothpaste weight and flavor. Using traditional processing lines to produce these numerous customized orders not only prevents mass production but also disrupts production rhythm and leads to extremely low efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the problem that traditional processing production lines cannot achieve batch production due to the production needs of high degree of customization of single orders and large order quantities.
[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: a personalized service intelligent experience production line, including a toothpaste filling unit, a printing and labeling unit, and a product storage unit. The toothpaste filling unit includes a toothpaste tube feeding device, a paste filling device, and a toothpaste tube capping device, as well as a filling circulation line that drives the toothpaste tube through the toothpaste tube feeding device, the paste filling device, and the toothpaste tube capping device in sequence. The paste filling device includes multiple filling machines for filling toothpaste pastes of different flavors.
[0007] A filling tooling plate for fixing the toothpaste tube body is provided on the filling circulation line. The filling tooling plate is provided with an electronic tag. A tag identifier for identifying the electronic tag is installed at the filling port of each filling machine.
[0008] The printing and labeling unit includes a printing and labeling circulation line and a printing and labeling all-in-one machine. A transfer robot is arranged between the printing and labeling circulation line and the printing and labeling all-in-one machine. The printing and labeling circulation line includes an order tooling plate that can hold multiple toothpaste tubes. The printing and labeling all-in-one machine includes a truss and multiple side-by-side label processing devices. The truss is located above the label processing device, and a printer is slidably connected to the truss. The label processing device includes a label storage roller for placing blank labels, a printing platform below the truss, and a pasting mechanism for pasting labels on the toothpaste tube; the printing platform is arranged between the label storage roller and the pasting mechanism.
[0009] The working principle of this solution is as follows: when faced with numerous toothpaste orders customized by consumers according to their preferences, the software system first parses the information of a large number of customized orders, so that each order is broken down into work order information for multiple processing stations. The control system of each processing station temporarily stores the work order information of multiple orders;
[0010] 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 the filling circulation line to pass through multiple filling machines. Each filling machine position is installed with a label identifier. Multiple label identifiers and electronic tags are matched 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 flavors in the order. The filling machine completes the filling of the toothpaste tube body according to the weight information in the order information and completes the selection of the net weight of the toothpaste in the order.
[0011] After filling, the toothpaste tube enters the capping device to complete the capping; after capping, the toothpaste tube enters the printing and labeling unit. After the transfer robot recognizes the identity of the toothpaste tube, it transfers multiple toothpaste tubes belonging to the same order to an order tooling board. When the quantity of toothpaste on the order tooling board meets the order requirements, the transfer robot transfers the toothpaste on the final tooling board to the printing and labeling all-in-one machine at the same time. Because there are multiple label processing devices, there are also multiple corresponding pasting mechanisms and printing platforms. The transfer robot places the toothpaste tubes one by one into the pasting mechanism.
[0012] The identity of the toothpaste tube placed in the pasting mechanism is identified by the system calling the transfer robot's gripping order, and then calling the corresponding label stored in the label printer for printing. During the printing process, the printer moves horizontally on the truss. When the printer passes the label, the system controls the printer to complete printing and completes the printing of all labels under an order at the same time. The printed label also includes the identity information of the capped tube.
[0013] After the label is printed, the label is affixed to the toothpaste tube by the attachment mechanism. The transfer robot then re-grips the labeled tube onto the order fixture, completing the production of all toothpastes for a single order. The toothpastes belonging to the same order can then be packaged in the same gift box. This process is repeated to complete the production of all orders.
[0014] The advantages of this solution are: 1. The equipment at each workstation in this system can independently complete the toothpaste production action of that workstation. After matching the identity of the toothpaste to be produced, the workstation temporarily changes the processing parameters of the workstation according to the work order information corresponding to the toothpaste, thereby realizing the continuous production of toothpastes with different parameters at that workstation. 2. At the workstation where the toothpaste itself cannot be used as a carrier of information, an electronic tag is used to define the identity of the toothpaste, and a tag identifier is set at the workstation to identify the electronic tag to complete the identification of the toothpaste identity. 3. At the filling machine position, a combination of multiple filling machines is used, and toothpastes of different flavors are loaded in each filling machine to realize the distinction of flavors; in addition, by assigning toothpaste tube information on the electronic tag, identifying the filling machine and changing the filling weight parameters according to the toothpaste information, the matching of the toothpaste filling amount is realized. 4. In the labeling part, the toothpaste tubes belonging to the same order need to be printed and labeled at the same time. This solution changes the traditional printer and sets the printer on a truss to give it a longer displacement. The labels that need to be printed at the same time are arranged side by side under the printer's moving track, and the labels can be printed at the same time. In addition, the labeling part is directly combined with the end of the label placement. When printing is completed, the labeling can be completed directly, thereby simplifying the printing and labeling process and reducing the equipment footprint.
[0015] In summary, the personalized service intelligent experience production line changes the traditional batch manufacturing method for uniform toothpaste. To efficiently produce large numbers of personalized orders, it adopts a filling-first, labeling-later process. Innovative designs have been made in the toothpaste filling unit and label printing and labeling unit, enabling flexible adjustments to processing parameters as order information changes.
[0016] Furthermore, the toothpaste tube capping device includes a tray for placing the bottom cover of the toothpaste tube, a three-axis motion module is mounted above the tray, and a capping assembly is installed on the three-axis motion module. The capping assembly includes a movably sleeved clamping head and a capping head, and the clamping head is sleeved on the outside of the capping head to tighten the inner side of the bottom cover; the capping head is connected to an independent cylinder for making it move up and down, and the capping head is used to embed the bottom cover downward into the interior of the toothpaste tube body, so that the bottom cover completes the sealing of the bottom of the toothpaste tube body.
[0017] Furthermore, a capping inspection device is installed in the process following the toothpaste tube capping device. The capping inspection device comprises an inspection frame mounted on the filling line. The sides and top of the inspection frame are sealed with plate materials. A camera is mounted on the top of the inspection frame, a ring-shaped fill light is installed below the camera, and a tag reader for electronic tags is installed on the side of the inspection frame. Products with defective caps are identified during this process, facilitating their subsequent targeted removal.
[0018] Furthermore, the filling tooling plate includes a base plate, a fixing seat and an electronic tag. The fixing seat is arranged in the center of the upper surface of the base plate. A groove for clamping the toothpaste tube body is provided in the middle of the fixing seat. A through hole penetrating the base plate is provided at the bottom of the groove. The side wall of the fixing seat is provided with a notch for facilitating the removal of the toothpaste tube body.
[0019] The filling fixture plate acts as an information carrier for unlabeled toothpaste tubes. The grooves in the mounting base allow for snap-on connection to the toothpaste tube, while the electronic tag carries the information. The filling line handles single tubes, while the labeling line processes orders for multiple tubes. Therefore, the fixture plate needs to be switched between the filling and labeling lines. Therefore, the filling fixture plate needs to be easily removable, hence the design of through-holes and notches.
[0020] Furthermore, the printing and labeling unit also includes a cache mechanism, a cache robot is arranged between the printing and labeling circulation line and the cache mechanism, the cache mechanism includes a cache rack and a throwing trough, the cache rack includes multiple layers of cache grids, each layer of cache grids is provided with temporarily storing qualified toothpaste tubes belonging to the same order, the throwing trough is used to recycle unqualified toothpaste, the throwing trough includes a bracket, the bracket is provided with two sets of slide rails, the two sets of slide rails are arranged opposite to each other and form a slide, the end of the slide for the toothpaste tube to enter is provided with an opening, and the opening is flared; the other end of the slide is provided with a blocking member to prevent the toothpaste tube from sliding out of the slide.
[0021] Furthermore, a transition mechanism is provided between the filling circulation line and the printing and labeling circulation line, the transition mechanism includes an isolating body located between the filling circulation line and the printing and labeling circulation line, the isolating body is provided with a transfer port, and a slide passing through the transfer port, the slide is inclined downward from the filling circulation line to the printing and labeling circulation line side, the slide at one end of the filling circulation line is installed with a unloading assembly, the unloading assembly includes a clamp for fixing the filling tooling plate, a pushing robot for pushing down the toothpaste tube body, and a pushing head for pushing the toothpaste tube body upward from the filling tooling plate, the pushing robot is in the opposite direction of the notch of the fixed seat, the pushing head is below the filling tooling plate and the pushing head can pass through the through hole at the bottom of the fixed seat.
[0022] Furthermore, a slide on one side of the printing and labeling circulation line is provided with a correction mechanism, which includes a detection slot for accommodating the toothpaste tube body and a clamping head that can be rotated by the cache robot. A detector for detecting the angle of the toothpaste pump nozzle in the toothpaste tube body is installed at one end of the detection slot, and the clamping head is used to adjust the rotation of the angle of the toothpaste pump nozzle of the toothpaste tube body. When the detector detects that there is an error in the direction of the toothpaste pump nozzle in the toothpaste tube body, the cache robot drives the toothpaste tube body to rotate an angle so that the toothpaste pump nozzle faces a predetermined direction.
[0023] An inclined slide is used between the filling circulation line and the printing and labeling circulation line to allow the toothpaste tube to roll freely. Since the toothpaste tube uses a pump-type toothpaste tube, the toothpaste outlet of the pump-type toothpaste tube is inclined at an angle. In order to ensure that the toothpaste pump nozzle is oriented towards the specific position of the label pattern during subsequent labeling, the direction of the toothpaste tube pump nozzle is adjusted through a correction mechanism.
[0024] Furthermore, the product storage unit includes an intelligent shelf, which includes a product conveyor belt, a storage robot, a storage rack and a discharge counter. The product conveyor belt includes two, one of which is set between the packaging station and the storage rack, and the other extends to the product mailing area. The storage rack includes a multi-layer storage board, and a cross module track is set in front of the storage rack. A picking robot is installed on the cross module track. The upper surface of the discharge counter is provided with a shipping slide and an information tag identifier. The information tag identifier is used to read the order information code displayed by the user.
[0025] Furthermore, a gift box loading mechanism is arranged between the product conveyor belt and the printing and labeling circulation line. The gift box loading mechanism includes a gift box supply rack, a laser printing table and a laser printer. The gift box supply rack includes multi-layer and inclined gift box storage slides. Vertical lifting tracks are provided on both sides of the gift box supply rack. The vertical lifting tracks are equipped with a gift box conveying table. The gift box storage table is driven by a motor to slide on the vertical lifting track, so that the gift box conveying table can stay at any layer of the gift box storage slide. The laser printing table is connected to the gift box conveying table on the side where the gift box is taken. The laser printer is mounted directly above the laser printing table for printing information on the gift box.
[0026] Finally, a cartoning robot is installed on one side of the laser printing table. The cartoning robot includes a six-axis robotic arm and an adsorption module. The adsorption module includes a rectangular seat for installing a vacuum system component, a first suction cup assembly for completing the opening and closing of the lid, and a second suction cup assembly for completing the filling of the product. The end of the six-axis robotic arm is fixedly connected to one of the side walls of the rectangular seat, the first suction cup assembly is fixedly installed on the other side wall of the rectangular seat, and the side wall is arranged opposite to the side wall where the six-axis robotic arm is located, and the second suction cup assembly is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rectangular seat perpendicular to the surface where the first suction cup assembly is located; the second suction cup assembly includes a tube body suction cup, and the tube body suction cups are grouped in pairs for adsorbing a single toothpaste tube body. There are multiple groups of tube body suction cups, and each group of tube body suction cups is arranged in sequence from the six-axis robotic arm toward the first suction cup assembly.
[0027] It is worth noting that the toothpaste tube body used in this solution is a cylindrical pump-type toothpaste tube body. Its characteristic is that by pressing the button of the pump-type toothpaste tube body, the toothpaste paste is squeezed out from the paste outlet, and at the same time the bottom cover is subjected to negative pressure and moves like a piston, thereby keeping the pressure balance inside the toothpaste tube body at all times.

[0037] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:
[0038] Embodiment 1:
[0039] like Figure 1 The personalized service intelligent experience production line shown includes a toothpaste filling unit 1, a printing and labeling unit 2 and a product storage unit 3. The toothpaste filling unit 1 includes a toothpaste tube feeding device 1-1, a paste filling device 1-2 and a toothpaste tube capping device 1-3, as well as a filling circulation line 1-24 that drives the toothpaste tube to pass through the toothpaste tube feeding device, the paste filling device and the toothpaste tube capping device in sequence.
[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a filling plate 1-25 for securing the toothpaste tube 4 is provided on the filling circulation line 1-24. The filling plate 1-25 is equipped with an electronic tag 1-22. A tag identifier 1-23 for identifying the electronic tag is installed at the filling port of each filling machine 1-21. The filling plate 1-25 comprises a base plate 1-251, a fixing seat 1-252, and an electronic tag 1-22. The fixing seat 1-252 is located in the center of the upper surface of the base plate 1-251. A groove is provided in the middle of the fixing seat 1-252 for securing the toothpaste tube. A through-hole is provided at the bottom of the groove to penetrate the base plate. A notch 1-253 is provided on the side wall of the fixing seat 1-252 to facilitate the removal of the toothpaste tube. The filling plate 1-25 serves as an information carrier for unlabeled tubular toothpaste. The toothpaste tube 4 is secured to the fixing seat through the groove, and the electronic tag 1-22 carries the information.
[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the paste filling device 1-2 includes multiple filling machines 1-21 for filling toothpaste pastes of different flavors. Each filling machine is connected to a paste storage tank for storing the corresponding flavor of toothpaste paste. A control pump for pumping the toothpaste paste is installed between the paste storage tank and the matching filling machine. Each filling machine is equipped with a tag identifier 1-23. The control pump has a built-in detection sensor that collects the number of pumping times of the control pump. The tag identifier, detection sensor, and control pump for identifying electronic tags are all electrically connected to the control system. A weighing sensor 1-26 is installed at the filling position corresponding to each group of filling machines. The weighing sensor 1-26 is used to measure the weight of the toothpaste paste filled in the toothpaste tube and is electrically connected to the control system.
[0042] When faced with numerous toothpaste orders customized by consumers based on their preferences, the software system first analyzes the information of a large number of customized orders, so that each order is broken down into work order information for multiple processing stations. The control system of each processing station temporarily stores the work order information of multiple orders.
[0043] During production, through the personalized service intelligent experience production line of this application, the toothpaste tube body 4 is first fixed on the filling tooling plate 1-25 through the toothpaste tube body feeding mechanism, and the electronic tag 1-22 on the filling tooling plate 1-25 is given identity information of the toothpaste tube body to be filled.
[0044] The toothpaste tube 4 is driven through multiple filling machines 1-21 via the filling circulation line 1-24. Each filling machine 1-21 is equipped with a tag identifier. Multiple tag identifiers are matched with electronic tags one by one. When one of the tag identifiers completes the identity match with the electronic tag, the filling machine corresponding to the tag identifier starts the filling action. This recognition process completes the selection of flavors in the order.
[0045] The filling machine fills the toothpaste tube according to the weight information in the order. After filling is completed, the load cell weighs the filling volume. If the weight matches the order setting, the filling volume of the toothpaste tube is qualified and the control pump on the filling machine is functioning properly. The control pump's pumping frequency is adjusted in real time according to the order weight, thereby achieving dynamic adjustment of the filling volume, ensuring product consistency with order requirements and effectively meeting the filling needs of personalized orders.
[0046] If weighing sensor 1-26 finds that there is a deviation in the toothpaste filling volume, the system will record the toothpaste as an unqualified product and screen it out at the product rejection station. At the same time, the deviation will be fed back to the system that controls the filling machine. The system will adjust the unit pumping volume of the control pump to eliminate the deviation.
[0047] The toothpaste tube body enters the capping device to complete the capping; the toothpaste tube body capping device includes a tray for placing the bottom cap of the toothpaste tube body, a three-axis motion module is mounted above the tray, and a capping assembly is installed on the three-axis motion module. The capping assembly includes a movably connected clamping head and a capping head, and the clamping head is sleeved on the outside of the capping head to tighten the inner side of the bottom cap; the capping head is connected to an independent cylinder for making it move up and down, and the capping head is used to embed the bottom cap downward into the inside of the toothpaste tube body, so that the bottom cap seals the bottom of the toothpaste tube body.
[0048] like Figure 4 The process following the toothpaste tube capping device is equipped with a capping inspection device. This device comprises an inspection frame 1-41 mounted on the filling line. Both sides and the top of the inspection frame 1-41 are sealed with plate material. A camera 1-42 is mounted on the top of the inspection frame 1-41, and a ring-shaped fill light 1-43 is located below the camera 1-42. A tag reader 1-23 for identifying electronic tags is located on the side of the inspection frame 1-41. Camera 1-42 captures an image of the end of the cap, and the system determines whether the capping is qualified. Unqualified products are discarded, while qualified products are retained and moved on to the next process.
[0049] Example 2:
[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, a transition mechanism is provided between the filling circulation line and the printing and labeling circulation line, the transition mechanism includes an isolating body located between the filling circulation line and the printing and labeling circulation line, the isolating body is provided with a transfer port, and a slide 1-52 passing through the transfer port, the slide 1-52 is inclined downward from the filling circulation line to the printing and labeling circulation line side, the slide at one end of the filling circulation line is installed with a discharge assembly, the discharge assembly includes a clamp for fixing the filling tooling plate 1-25, a pushing robot 1-53 for pushing down the toothpaste tube body and a pushing head for pushing the toothpaste tube body upward from the filling tooling plate, the pushing robot 1-53 is in the opposite direction of the notch of the fixed seat, the pushing head is below the filling tooling plate and the pushing head can pass through the through hole at the bottom of the fixed seat.
[0051] A correction mechanism is provided on the slide on one side of the printing and labeling circulation line. The correction mechanism includes a detection slot 1-51 for accommodating the toothpaste tube body, and a clamping head that can be rotated by the cache robot. One end of the detection slot 1-51 is installed with a detector 1-54 for detecting the angle of the toothpaste pump nozzle in the toothpaste tube body. The clamping head is used to adjust the rotation of the angle of the toothpaste tube body pump nozzle. When the detector 1-54 detects that there is an error in the direction of the toothpaste pump nozzle in the toothpaste tube body, the cache robot drives the toothpaste tube body to rotate an angle so that the toothpaste pump nozzle faces the predetermined direction.
[0052] After the capping is completed, the toothpaste tube body needs to be inspected for capping conditions when it moves from the filling circulation line to the printing and labeling circulation line. The toothpaste tube body that meets the capping requirements enters the correction mechanism through a freely rolling inclined slide, and the direction of the toothpaste tube body pump nozzle is adjusted through the correction mechanism.
[0053] An inclined slide is used between the filling circulation line and the printing and labeling circulation line to allow the toothpaste tube to roll freely. Since the toothpaste tube uses a pump-type toothpaste tube, the toothpaste outlet of the pump-type toothpaste tube is inclined at an angle. In order to ensure that the toothpaste pump nozzle is oriented towards the specific position of the label pattern during subsequent labeling, the direction of the toothpaste tube pump nozzle is adjusted through a correction mechanism.
[0054] Example 3:
[0055] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the printing and labeling unit includes a printing and labeling circulation line and a printing and labeling all-in-one machine. A transfer robot 2-2 is arranged between the printing and labeling circulation line 2-3 and the printing and labeling all-in-one machine 2-1. The printing and labeling circulation line includes an order tooling plate 2-7 that can hold multiple toothpaste tubes. The printing and labeling all-in-one machine 2-1 includes a truss 2-13 and multiple side-by-side label processing devices 2-14. The truss is located above the label processing device 2-14. A printer 2-11 is slidably connected to the truss 2-13. The label processing device 2-14 includes a label storage roller 2-12 for placing blank labels, a printing platform under the truss, and a pasting mechanism 2-15 for pasting labels on the toothpaste tube; the printing platform is arranged between the label storage roller and the pasting mechanism.
[0056] The adjusted toothpaste tube body is clamped by the transfer robot 2-2, and multiple toothpaste tube bodies belonging to the same order are transferred to an order tooling plate. When the quantity of toothpaste on the order tooling plate meets the order requirements, the transfer robot transfers the toothpaste on the finalized tooling plate to the printing and labeling all-in-one machine at the same time. Because there are multiple label processing devices, there are also multiple corresponding pasting mechanisms and printing platforms. The transfer robot places the toothpaste tube bodies one by one into the pasting mechanism.
[0057] The identity of the toothpaste tube placed in the pasting mechanism is identified by the system calling the transfer robot's gripping order, and then calling the corresponding label stored in the label printer for printing. During the printing process, the printer moves horizontally on the truss. When the printer passes the label, the system controls the printer to complete printing and completes the printing of all labels under an order at the same time. The printed label also includes the identity information of the capped tube.
[0058] like Figure 8As shown, the printing and labeling unit also includes a cache mechanism. A cache robot 2-4 is provided between the printing and labeling circulation line and the cache mechanism. The cache mechanism includes a cache rack 2-5 and a discharge chute 2-6. The cache rack 2-5 includes multiple layers of cache cells, each layer of which is provided with a temporary storage of qualified toothpaste tubes 4 belonging to the same order. The discharge chute 2-6 is used to recycle unqualified toothpaste. The discharge chute 2-6 includes a bracket, on which are provided two sets of slide rails. The two sets of slide rails are arranged opposite each other and form a chute. The chute has an opening at one end for the toothpaste tubes to enter, and the opening is flared. The other end of the chute is provided with a blocking member that prevents the toothpaste tubes from sliding out of the chute. The cache rack stores qualified toothpaste tubes 4 for an order, and the discharge chute 2-6 is used to place unqualified toothpaste tubes. When the toothpaste tubes in the discharge chute are full, the blocking member is opened, and the unqualified toothpaste tubes slide out of the discharge chute, thereby realizing the recovery of unqualified toothpaste tubes.
[0059] An inclined first inspection channel 2-7 is provided below the throwing chute 2-6. When the production line is working, the first toothpaste tube body needs to be inspected. If the first piece is qualified, the next processing can be carried out to avoid unnecessary losses caused by mechanical failure.
[0060] An image detector is installed on the truss in synchronization with the printer. The image detector identifies labels with poor printing quality. After the label is printed, the pasting mechanism pastes the label into the toothpaste tube. At this time, the toothpaste tube with the poorly printed label is removed, and the remaining toothpaste tubes are placed on the same order tooling board, and the order tooling board is placed in the cache rack. The system retrieves the work order information of the removed toothpaste tubes and re-manufactures them; until all toothpaste tubes under the same order are fully produced; the transfer robot clamps the labeled toothpaste tubes into the order tooling board again to realize the production of all toothpastes under one order. After that, the toothpastes belonging to the same order can be packaged in the same gift box outer packaging.
[0061] Example 4:
[0062] like Figure 9 As shown, the outer packaging of the gift box is stored in the product storage unit. The product storage unit 3 includes an intelligent shelf. The intelligent shelf includes a product conveyor belt, a storage robot 3-21, a storage rack 3-1 and a discharge counter 3-14. There are two product conveyor belts, one of which is set between the packaging station and the storage rack, and the other extends to the product mailing place. The storage rack includes a multi-layer storage board. A cross module track 3-13 is set in front of the storage rack 3-1. A picking robot 3-12 is installed on the cross module track 3-13. A shipping slide 3-141 and an information tag identifier 3-142 are set on the upper surface of the discharge counter 3-14. The information tag identifier 3-142 is used to read the order information code displayed by the user.
[0063] A gift box loading mechanism is arranged between the product conveyor belt and the printing and labeling circulation line. The gift box loading mechanism includes a gift box supply rack 3-2, a laser printing table 3-32 and a laser printer 3-31. The gift box supply rack 3-2 includes a multi-layer and inclined gift box storage slide. Vertical lifting tracks are arranged on both sides of the gift box supply rack 3-2. The vertical lifting tracks are equipped with a gift box conveying table 3-33. The gift box storage table 3-33 is driven by a motor to slide on the vertical lifting track, so that the gift box conveying table 3-33 stays at any layer of the gift box storage slide. The laser printing table 3-32 is connected to the gift box conveying table 3-33 on the side where the gift box is taken. The laser printer 3-31 is mounted directly above the laser printing table 3-32 for printing information on the gift box.
[0064] A cartoning robot is installed on one side of the laser printing table. The cartoning robot includes a six-axis robotic arm and an adsorption module. The adsorption module includes a rectangular seat for installing a vacuum system component, a first suction cup assembly for completing the opening and closing of the lid, and a second suction cup assembly for completing the filling of the product. The end of the six-axis robotic arm is fixedly connected to one of the side walls of the rectangular seat, the first suction cup assembly is fixedly installed on the other side wall of the rectangular seat, and the side wall is arranged opposite to the side wall where the six-axis robotic arm is located. The second suction cup assembly is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rectangular seat perpendicular to the surface where the first suction cup assembly is located; the second suction cup assembly includes a tube body suction cup, and the tube body suction cups are grouped in pairs for adsorbing a single toothpaste tube body. There are multiple groups of tube body suction cups, and each group of tube body suction cups is arranged in sequence from the six-axis robotic arm toward the first suction cup assembly.
[0065] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the specific technical solutions and / or characteristics in the solution are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for technical people in this field, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several variations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
