[0051] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method, device, equipment and storage medium for automatic packing of beverage bottles, wherein the method for automatic packing of beverage bottles comprises: starting a first conveyor belt at a first speed, starting a second conveyor belt at a second speed, an input array consisting of a plurality of beverage bottles is continuously input from the first conveyor belt, separated from the input array by a lifting and pressing plate to form a packing array, thereby realizing automatic separation of the packing array, and cardboard is obliquely input upward from a second conveyor belt at the lower side of the first conveyor belt. Since the horizontal component of the second speed is equal to the first speed, the horizontal movement speeds of the packing array and the cardboard are ensured to be the same; the packing array is pushed into the cardboard entering the third conveyor belt at the second speed by a third cross bar to realize packing, and a feeding cycle is triggered by a cycle trigger signal; the height difference between the first oblique bar and the second oblique bar is used to realize pre-folding of the side of the cardboard, and the packaging is completed after entering the sealing device, thereby realizing cyclic automatic packing of beverage bottles and improving production efficiency.

[0052] First, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A three-dimensional diagram of a packaging device for beverage bottles provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic packing device of this embodiment includes a first conveyor belt 10, a second conveyor belt 20 and a third conveyor belt 30. The first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20 are adjacent to the third conveyor belt 30. The second conveyor belt 20 is located at the lower side of the first conveyor belt 10. The third conveyor belt 30 is horizontally aligned with the first conveyor belt 10, and the second conveyor belt 20 is arranged obliquely upward; the first conveyor belt 10 is sequentially provided with a lifting plate 11, a first crawler 12 and a second crawler 13 along the transport direction. The first crawler 12 is equipped with a first cross bar 121, and the second crawler 13 is equipped with a third cross bar 131. The first crawler 12 and the second crawler 13 are A closed-loop structure in the vertical direction, the lower sides of the first crawler 12 and the second crawler 13 are both straight sections extending in the transmission direction and are parallel to the first conveyor belt 10; the second conveyor belt 20 is provided with a loading assembly, and both sides of the third conveyor belt 30 are provided with a first oblique rod 311 and a second oblique rod 312 rising in the transmission direction, the front end of the first oblique rod 311 is higher than the front end of the second oblique rod 312, the rear end of the first oblique rod 311 is flush with the rear end of the second oblique rod 312, the front end of the first oblique rod 311 is provided with an infrared sensor 313, and the third conveyor belt 30 is also provided with a carton sealing device, which is located in front of the first oblique rod 311.

[0054] It should be noted that the first conveyor belt 10 and the third conveyor belt 30 are horizontal conveyor belts, and the second conveyor belt 20 is a conveyor belt that extends diagonally upward from the back to the front. The first conveyor belt 10 is used to transport beverage bottles, and the second conveyor belt 20 is used to input cardboard 50. According to the control method of this embodiment, the packing array 42 falls into the cardboard 50 at the entrance of the third conveyor belt 30, and the cardboard 50 is folded into a carton in the third conveyor belt 30, thereby completing the box sealing operation.

[0055] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, a partition is arranged at the entrance of the first conveyor belt 10 to divide a plurality of beverage bottles into a plurality of rows (in this embodiment, the conveying direction is the row direction, and the column direction is perpendicular to the row direction), and the width of the lifting and pressing plate 11 matches the size of the row direction of the beverage bottles, so that the lifting and pressing plate 11 can simultaneously press the beverage bottles in a plurality of rows, so that the pressed beverage bottles cannot move forward, thereby forming a pile of beverage bottles. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the number of rows and columns of beverage bottles when packing is set to 4 rows and 6 columns. When the beverage bottles in the 7th column move under the lifting and pressing plate 11, the lifting and pressing plate 11 descends and presses the beverage bottles in the 7th column. The first 6 columns of beverage bottles continue to move forward under the action of the first conveyor belt 10 because they are not blocked, thereby separating the 4 rows and 6 columns of packing array 42 from the input array 41; after the lifting and pressing plate 11 is lifted, the input array 41 continues to input, and the lifting and pressing plate 11 presses the beverage bottles in the 13th column in the next cycle, so that the beverage bottles in the 7th to 12th columns form the second packing array 42, and so on. The separation of the packing array 42 is achieved by the lifting and pressing plate 11, and a certain distance is allowed to exist between each packing array 42 by controlling the action cycle of the lifting and pressing plate 11, that is, the first spacing of this embodiment.

[0056] It should be noted that the rotation direction of the first crawler 12 and the second crawler 13 is determined according to the transmission direction of the first conveyor belt 10, and it is sufficient to ensure that the first cross bar 121 and the third cross bar 131 run in the same direction as the box array 42 when they are at the lower side. Figure 1 As shown, the first crawler track 12 and the second crawler track 13 are installed in the gear set, and both rotate clockwise under the driving action of their respective motors and gear sets. When the first cross bar 121 and the third cross bar 131 are located at the lower side, the transmission direction is the same as that of the first transmission belt 10.

[0057] It should be noted that the first oblique rod 311 and the second oblique rod 312 are straight rods, and the installation direction is Figure 1 As shown in the oblique upward direction, the rear ends of the first oblique rod 311 and the second oblique rod 312 are at the same height, the first oblique rod 311 is located outside the second oblique rod 312, and the front end of the first oblique rod 311 is higher than the front end of the second oblique rod 312, so that the side of the cardboard 50 is folded by utilizing the height difference of the oblique rods.

[0058] It should be noted that the infrared sensor 313 is a conventional structure, such as a common infrared grating sensor. According to the above description, the side of the cardboard 50 will be folded up, and when the infrared sensor 313 is blocked, a detection signal is generated, thereby realizing the detection of the cardboard 50.

[0059] In addition, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The feeding assembly includes a feeding turntable 21, a feeding rod 22 and a silo 23. One end of the feeding rod 22 is installed on the feeding turntable 21, and suction cups 221 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the feeding rod 22.

[0060] Those skilled in the art will know that the cardboard 50 is a multi-plane flat cardboard 50 before folding, and a common rectangular carton is obtained by folding each plane by 90 degrees. The structure of the cardboard 50 before folding will not be described in detail here.

[0061] It should be noted that the cardboard 50 can be placed vertically in the silo 23, and symmetrical suction cups 221 are set on both sides of the loading rod 22, so that the loading rod 22 can complete the loading of two cardboards 50 per rotation when driven by the loading turntable 21, thereby improving the loading efficiency.

[0062] In addition, refer to Figure 1 The first track 12 is also equipped with a second cross bar 122, and the second spacing between the first cross bar 121 and the second cross bar 122 is equal to the length of the lower straight section of the first track 12; the second track 13 is also equipped with a fourth cross bar 132, and the third spacing between the third cross bar 131 and the fourth cross bar 132 is greater than or equal to the second length, and the fourth cross bar 132 is located behind the third cross bar 131.

[0063] It should be noted that the positions of the second cross bar 122 and the fourth cross bar 132 are adjusted according to the length of the packing array 42. After the above-mentioned cross bars are installed in the first track 12 and the second track 13, they can maintain rotation after startup. Through the cooperation between the two cross bars, continuous processing of multiple packing arrays 42 can be achieved without waiting for a cross bar to complete a circle, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0064] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the carton sealing device includes a folding push plate 32, a horizontal U-shaped arm 33, a third track 34 and a fourth track 35 in sequence. The folding push plate 32 is located above the side of the third conveyor belt 30. The folding push plate 32 can rotate 90 degrees in the circumferential direction toward the third conveyor belt 30. The third track 34 is located on the upper side of the third conveyor belt 30. The fourth track 35 is embedded in the third conveyor belt 30. The third track 34 and the fourth track 35 are equidistantly provided with multiple pairs of columns 36. The distance between two adjacent pairs of columns 36 is a first length. The inner diameter of the opening of the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 is a first length. The opening of the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 faces the third conveyor belt 30. The number of the horizontal U-shaped arms 33 is 2 and they are respectively located on both sides of the third conveyor belt 30.

[0065] It should be noted that the folding push plate 32 is used to move 90 degrees in the inner direction, so as to fold the folded paperboard 50 into a rectangular structure. The folding push plate 32 can be driven by a cylinder, and the driving form is not limited here.

[0066] It should be noted that the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 is Figure 1As shown, the inner diameter of the U-shaped opening is the first length, and the front and rear sides of the carton also need to fold four surfaces to achieve sealing. In this embodiment, the two side surfaces of the front and rear sides of the carton are folded by rotating the horizontal U-shaped arm 33. Taking the front side as an example, during the transmission process, the side plane of the front side of the carton is abutted by the left side of the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 to fold it, and the carton in transmission is avoided by the U-shaped opening. Since the inner diameter of the opening is equal to the first length, and the rear side of the carton is not folded, the length is greater than the first length. The side plane of the rear side of the carton can be abutted by the right side of the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 to fold it, thereby completing the folding of the left and right sides of the front and rear ends. In this embodiment, horizontal U-shaped arms 33 can be respectively set on both sides of the third conveyor belt 30 to achieve folding on both sides. At the same time, each horizontal U-shaped arm 33 can be set into a symmetrical structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, two U-shaped arms are spliced ​​on the same side, so that the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 can fold two cartons after one rotation by controlling the rotation speed, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0067] It should be noted that the third crawler 34 and the fourth crawler 35 are both provided with multiple pairs of columns 36. After passing through the horizontal U-shaped arm 33, the front and rear ends of the carton still have two side surfaces that are not folded, which are located at the upper side and the lower side respectively. Figure 1 As shown, the third crawler 34 and the fourth crawler 35 are respectively located at the upper and lower parts and are elliptical. After starting, the third crawler 34 rotates clockwise and the fourth crawler 35 rotates counterclockwise. By pre-adjusting the distance between the third crawler 34 and the horizontal U-shaped arm 33, after entering the third crawler 34, a pair of columns 36 are flipped from the upper side to the lower side, thereby completing the sealing of the front end side of the carton. The columns 36 of the fourth crawler 35 are similar, and the sealing is achieved synchronously from bottom to top; when the rear end of the carton enters the third crawler 34 and the fourth crawler 35, since the distance between the columns 36 is the first length, the next pair of columns 36 are flipped from the upper side of the third crawler 34 to the lower side, thereby achieving the sealing of the rear end of the carton.

[0068] The following is based on Figure 1 The automatic packing device shown is used to further illustrate the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The present invention provides a flowchart of an automatic packaging method for beverage bottles, which includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0074] S50, after the first conveyor belt is started for a first time, the lifting and pressing plate is controlled to press down the input array to separate the box array, and when the box array is detected to be in contact with the first crossbar, a cycle trigger signal is generated, wherein the first crawler rotates one circle in the conveying direction based on the first speed as the linear speed in response to the cycle trigger signal and then stands by, the lifting and pressing plate performs two liftings with the second time length as the cycle in response to the cycle trigger signal, and the lifting and pressing plate remains on standby after the second descent, and the loading assembly performs two loading operations in response to the cycle trigger signal;

[0078] It should be noted that the lower sides of the first crawler 12 and the second crawler 13 are horizontal straight line segments. Figure 1As shown, the gear position can be set to achieve horizontality, and the installation method is not limited here. The resetting of the first crawler 12 and the second crawler 13 can be completed automatically or manually controlled. For example, the control buttons of the first crawler 12 and the second crawler 13 are set on the upper computer, and they are slowly rotated after being pressed to facilitate resetting and positioning. It can also be controlled by an automated program. For example, the length of the first crawler 12 and the second crawler 13 is fixed, so the displacement of one circle is also known. The rotation distance of the current circle is recorded at the last shutdown, and reset is performed according to the remaining rotation distance of the last time after this startup. The technicians in this field can select the reset control method according to actual needs to ensure that the first cross bar is located at the front end of the lower straight section of the first crawler 12 after resetting, and the third cross bar is located at the front end of the lower straight section of the second crawler 13.

[0079] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, the first length is the length of the packing array 42. The first length is known in advance, for example, it can be calculated according to the outer diameter and the number of columns of the beverage bottle, and no further details are given here. In this embodiment, the first length can be directly calculated by inputting the specifications of the beverage bottle into the upper computer, or the first length can be directly input.

[0080] It should be noted that the first spacing is the spacing between two box arrays 42, such as Figure 1 As shown, during the production process, the first conveyor belt 10, the lifting and pressing plate 11 and the first crawler belt 12 circulate to continuously separate the packing array 42 from the input array 41. As the cardboard 50 is in the form of the carton before folding, the length of the cardboard 50 in the conveying direction must be greater than the first length. Therefore, in this embodiment, a distance needs to be maintained between each packing array 42, that is, the first spacing of this embodiment, so that each packing array 42 can accurately fall into the corresponding cardboard 50. Of course, a certain distance can also be left between the multiple cardboards 50 in the second conveyor belt, and the first spacing can be adaptively adjusted in value.

[0081] It should be noted that the automatic packing of this embodiment includes a first start-up cycle phase and a cycle phase. Figure 3As shown, in the first start-up phase of entering the cycle, beverage bottles enter from the first conveyor belt 10, there are no beverage bottles in the first track 12 and the second track 13, and the carton array 42 is not separated from the input array 41. According to the description of the above embodiment, the carton array 42 is separated by the downward pressure of the lifting and pressing plate 11 so that a part of the input array 41 is stationary and a part continues to move, thereby separating the carton array 42. The first speed of the first conveyor belt 10 is pre-configured. In the startup phase, the input array 41 of beverage bottles is located at the entrance of the first conveyor belt 10, and the lifting and pressing plate 11 is also located at the entrance of the first conveyor belt 10. The quotient of the first length and the first speed is taken as the first time length, that is, T1=L1 / V1, wherein T1 is the first time length, L1 is the first length, and V1 is the first speed. For example, 6 columns of beverage bottles are used as a packing array 42. After starting T1, the first 6 columns of beverage bottles have passed through the lifting and pressing plate 11. At this time, the lifting and pressing plate 11 is controlled to descend, so as to press down the 7th column of beverage bottles. The first 6 columns of beverage bottles are not pressed down, and continue to move forward driven by the first conveyor belt 10 to separate the first packing array 42 from the input array 41.

[0082] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, the first spacing is the distance between the two packing arrays 42. Since the packing arrays 42 are separated by the lifting and pressing plate 11, the spacing between the first packing array 42 and the input array 41 when it abuts the first crossbar 121 is also equal to the first spacing. It is worth noting that the first spacing of this embodiment is the spacing between the two packing arrays 42 separated in response to the same cycle trigger signal. For example, if one cycle trigger signal separates two packing arrays 42, the first spacing is the distance between the two packing arrays 42 this time, and is not used as the distance between the packing arrays 42 separated by the previous cycle trigger signal. Figure 3 As shown, the first spacing is the distance between the packing array 42 intercepted by the first cross bar 121 and the input array 41, and is not used as the distance between the packing arrays 42 located on the second track 13, and will not be repeated later.

[0083] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the second time length T2 = L2 / V1, and each time the lifting and pressing plate 11 is lifted or lowered, a packing array 42 is separated. Since there is a first distance between the two packing arrays 42, the waiting time after the lifting and pressing plate 11 is lifted is the first time length, and then it pauses according to T2-T1, thereby forming the first distance.

[0084] It should be noted that if Figure 1As shown, the first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20 are started synchronously, and the horizontal component of the second speed is equal to the first speed, so that the cardboard 50 and the packing array 42 have the same moving speed in the horizontal direction. Since the second conveyor belt 20 is set obliquely, the second speed can be simply calculated by trigonometric function based on the first speed and the inclination angle, which will not be elaborated here.

[0085] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the front end of the lower straight section of the first crawler 12 of this embodiment is aligned with the loading position of the cardboard 50. In the first startup phase, the second conveyor belt is started for loading, which can ensure that the packing array is aligned with a cardboard 50 in the vertical direction, thereby realizing automatic packing at the input end of the third conveyor belt 30.

[0086] It should be noted that in step S50, when the packing array 42 abuts against the first crossbar 121, each loading area has completed the first batch of loading and can enter the subsequent production cycle. In this embodiment, the cycle trigger signal is used as the trigger source for each cycle. It is worth noting that since the second speed is greater than the first speed, the third crossbar 131 of the second crawler 13 pushes the packing array 42 to the third conveyor belt at the second speed, so the material running speeds at the input end and the output end of the first conveyor belt 10 are different. In order to avoid the packing array being too dense and causing a collision at the second crawler 13, in this embodiment, each time the cycle trigger signal is triggered, the lifting plate 11 performs two liftings, the loading assembly performs two loadings, and the first crawler 12 rotates one circle. In one cycle, two packing arrays 42 are output through the first conveyor belt 10, and two cardboards 50 are output through the second conveyor belt 20, that is, each cycle signal completes the packing of two packaging boxes, and there is a certain distance between each two packing arrays 42 to ensure the continuity of automated production.

[0087] It should be noted that after the second crawler 12 detects the first packing array 42, it starts to run at the second speed. At this time, the third crossbar 131 is located at the rear end of the packing array 42. Since the second speed is greater than the first speed, the third crossbar 131 can catch up with the packing array 42 from the rear side, and adjust the moving speed of the packing array 42 to the second speed under the pushing action. When the cardboard 50 enters the third conveyor belt 30 from the second conveyor belt 20, the packing array 42 enters and falls on the surface of the cardboard 50 at the same speed, thereby realizing the automatic combination of the beverage bottle and the cardboard 50, and then the subsequent box sealing device completes the box sealing. Those skilled in the art are motivated to adjust the length of the first conveyor belt 10 and the second crawler belt 12 in the technology of this embodiment, so that the third crossbar 131 contacts the packing array 42 at the end of the lower straight section of the second crawler belt, so that the packing array 42 is increased to the second speed at a position close to the third conveyor belt, and enters the third conveyor belt 30 synchronously with the cardboard 50. The specific parameters are not limited here.

[0088] It should be noted that after each rotation of the second crawler belt, it can be determined that the packing array 42 has entered the third conveyor belt 30, and the packaging of the next packing array 42 can be started, thereby generating a cycle trigger signal, and automatic cycle triggering is achieved by utilizing the rotation detection of the second crawler belt to ensure the accuracy of each packing.

[0089] It should be noted that the cardboard 50 has a certain hardness and will maintain an upward angle when entering the third conveyor belt 30 from the second conveyor belt 20. At this time, the carton array 42 falls in and can press the cardboard 50 to the third conveyor belt 30. Of course, the distance between the first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20 can be adjusted according to actual needs so that the carton array 42 will not scatter.

[0090] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the positional relationship between the first diagonal rod 311 and the second diagonal rod 312 can perform the first bending on the side of the cardboard 50. The cardboard 50 is in a flat state when entering the second conveyor belt 20. Since the slope of the first diagonal rod 311 is greater than that of the second diagonal rod 312, the outer side of the cardboard 50 is folded under the limiting action of the first diagonal rod 311, thereby forming an open rectangular structure with three sides. At this time, one side of the cardboard 50 is higher and can be detected by the infrared sensor, thereby triggering the subsequent box sealing operation.

[0091] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, the first crawler and the second crawler can be reset after startup, the first packing array can be separated from the input array by the lifting and pressing plate, and the cardboard can be loaded onto the second conveyor belt synchronously. After the packing array abuts against the first crossbar, the first crawler is rotated to lift the first crossbar, and the packing array enters the second crawler through the first crawler, and is lifted to the second speed by the third crossbar at the end of the second crawler, so as to maintain the same linear speed as the cardboard at the input end of the third conveyor belt, ensuring that the cardboard can be accurately loaded into the packing array, and then the subsequent box sealing device completes the box sealing. Every time the second crawler rotates one circle, a cycle trigger signal is initiated, the lifting and pressing plate is pressed down twice to separate the two packing arrays, and the loading device loads two cardboards, and the two packaging boxes are sealed while ensuring that multiple packing arrays do not collide with each other, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0092] In addition, in one embodiment, in step S50, the loading component is controlled to perform a loading operation, including but not limited to the following steps:

[0093] S511, obtaining a third duration, wherein the third duration is determined based on a preset third length and the first speed, and the third length is used to represent the distance between the standby position of the first crossbar and the feeding port of the first conveyor belt;

[0094] S512, sucking the cardboard from the silo by the suction cup, controlling the loading component to stop sucking after rotating half a circle based on the third time length, so that the cardboard falls into the loading position of the second conveyor belt, wherein the front end of the loading position of the second conveyor belt is aligned with the front end of the lower straight segment of the first crawler belt.

[0095] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, the third length is the distance from the standby position of the first cross bar 131 to the feeding port of the first conveyor belt 10. The third time length T3=L3 / V1 can be pre-calculated before starting and saved in the host computer, and called when performing the loading operation, where L3 is the third length.

[0096] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, when the running time of the first conveyor belt 10 reaches the third time length, the first packing array 42 abuts against the first cross bar 131. Since the front end of the loading position of the second conveyor belt 20 is aligned with the front end of the lower straight segment of the first crawler belt 12, it is necessary to ensure that the loading of the cardboard 50 is completed after the third time length. According to the structure of the loading turntable 21 of this embodiment, the loading of one cardboard 50 is completed by rotating half a circle. Therefore, the third time length is half of the rotation cycle of the loading turntable 21. After starting, the first cardboard 50 is adsorbed by the suction cup 221, and the adsorption is stopped after rotating for the third time length, so that the cardboard 50 comes into contact with the second conveyor belt 20 and falls into the front end of the loading position of the second conveyor belt 20.

[0097] It should be noted that after obtaining the cycle trigger signal, the loading turntable 21 can rotate according to the same cycle to achieve loading, which will not be repeated here.

[0098] In addition, in one embodiment, in step S50, before the first crawler rotates one circle in the transmission direction based on the first speed as the linear speed in response to the cyclic trigger signal and stands by, the method further includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0099] S521, obtaining a preset fourth length and a fifth length, wherein the fourth length is used to represent the length of the paperboard along the transmission direction, and the fifth length is the length of the first crawler belt;

[0100] S522, determining a fourth duration based on the fourth length and the second speed, and when the fourth duration is greater than the first duration, determining the difference between the fourth duration and the first duration as a fifth duration, and determining a third speed based on the fifth length and the third duration.

[0101] It should be noted that if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the length of the cardboard 50 before folding is the fourth length, the fourth length is numerically greater than the first length, the fifth length is the length of the first track 12, the fourth length and the fifth length are pre-set parameters, and the fourth length can be saved and recycled after being determined once to avoid repeated calculation.

[0102] It should be noted that the fourth time length T4 = L4 / V2, L4 is the fourth length, and in this embodiment, T4 is used to characterize the time required for the cardboard 50 to leave the loading position of the second conveyor belt 20, that is, at least the second loading of the cardboard 50 will be performed after T4, otherwise it will cause the two cardboards 50 to overlap and affect subsequent operations. Similarly, the first time length can also characterize the time length for the packing array 42 to leave the standby position of the first crossbar 131. Although L4>L1, V2>V1, T1=L1 / V1, but T4 is not necessarily greater than T1, when T4>T1 is satisfied, the time length for the cardboard 50 to leave the loading position is greater than the time length for the packing array 42 to leave the first crossbar 131. In order to ensure that the cardboard 50 is horizontally aligned with the packing array 42, this embodiment uses the longer fourth time length as the control basis, and uses the difference between the fourth time length and the first time length as the fifth time length. The first crawler is suspended for the fifth time length, so that the packing array 42 forms a pause for a period of time, thereby aligning with the cardboard 50.

[0103] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the third time length is the time length for the packing array 42 to move to the standby position of the first crossbar 131. When the packing array 42 is sent out, the first track 12 rotates synchronously, so the first crossbar 131 has left the standby position for a distance, and needs to complete the remaining rotation within the third time length to ensure that the first crossbar 131 waits for the next packing array 42 at the standby position. This embodiment can be applied to cartons of different specifications through automatic calculation of parameters in advance, thereby improving the adaptability of the packing device.

[0104] In addition, in one embodiment, in step S50, the first crawler belt rotates one circle in the transmission direction based on the first speed as the linear speed in response to the cyclic trigger signal and then stands by, and the lifting and lowering plate performs two lifting and lowering in response to the cyclic trigger signal, including but not limited to the following steps:

[0105] S531, based on the first speed being the linear speed, the first crawler is started along the transmission direction to control the lifting and lowering plate to rise;

[0106] S532, when the running time reaches the first time, controlling the lifting and pressing plates to descend and maintain pressing against the input array;

[0107] S533, when the duration of the pressing state of the lifting and lowering pressure plate reaches the difference between the second duration and the first duration, controlling the lifting and lowering pressure plate to rise;

[0108] S534, when the running time reaches the first time length again, temporarily placing the first crawler based on the fifth time length, so that the second crossbar intercepts the newly separated box array;

[0109] S535, controlling the first crawler belt to rotate the remaining part of the current circle based on the third speed, and controlling the lifting and lowering plate to perform a second lifting.

[0110] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the first crawler 12 of this embodiment performs one rotation in response to the cycle trigger signal, so the first crawler 12 does not keep rotating all the time, but rotates again after waiting for a period of time after rotating one circle. The first crawler 12 of this embodiment is further provided with a second crossbar 122, and the first crossbar 121 intercepts the first packing array 42, and the second crossbar 122 intercepts the next packing array 42, so that two stackings are completed in one cycle, which cooperates with the feeding of two cardboards 50 in one cycle to improve production efficiency.

[0111] It should be noted that if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one cycle, the lifting and pressing plate 11 is raised, and the input array 41 begins to enter the first conveyor belt 10. After reaching the first time length, the lifting and pressing plate 11 is pressed down to separate the first packing array 42. The pressure is kept down and reaches the difference between the second time length and the first time length. After the lifting and pressing plate 11 is raised again, it waits for the first time length before pressing down, thereby separating the second packing array 42, and the spacing between the two packing arrays 42 meets the first spacing.

[0112] It should be noted that when the running time reaches the first time length again, it can be determined that the first packing array 42 leaves the first cross bar 131, and the second cross bar 122 moves to the standby position, that is, the front end of the straight section on the lower side of the first crawler 12, and the second packing array 42 abuts against the second cross bar 122, and the second cross bar 122 is controlled to pause for the fifth time length, waiting for the second cardboard 50 to be loaded before starting the rotation of the first crawler 12, to ensure that the packing array 42 is synchronized with the cardboard 50,

[0113] In addition, in one embodiment, in step S10, resetting the second crawler includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0114] S11, obtaining a preset sixth length, and determining a sixth duration based on the sixth length and the first speed, wherein the sixth length is used to indicate a distance between a standby position of the first crossbar and the second crawler track;

[0115] S12, determine the seventh length based on the second speed and the sixth duration, and move the third cross bar in the opposite direction to the reference position based on the seventh length, wherein the moving distance of the third cross bar from the reference position to the rear end of the lower straight segment of the second track is equal to the seventh length.

[0116] It should be noted that, since the third cross bar 131 is located at the rear side of the box array 42 and is used to push the box array 42, the standby position of the third cross bar 131 cannot be located at the lower straight section of the second crawler 13, but must be located at the front section of the lower straight section, for example Figure 1 The rear oblique side of the second crawler 13 shown in the figure, or the upper side of the second crawler 13, this embodiment calculates the sixth time length T6=L6 / V1 based on the sixth length L6, after the sixth time length, it can be determined that the box column 42 moves from the entrance of the first conveyor belt 10 to the range of the second crawler 13, and the seventh length L7=T6×V2 is calculated based on the sixth time length and the second speed. The third cross bar 131 is moved in the opposite direction through the seventh length, so that the third cross bar 131 is behind the lower straight segment.

[0117] It should be noted that after the third cross bar 131 moves the seventh length, it enters the lower straight section of the second crawler 13. At this time, the carton array 42 has moved forward a certain distance, so the third cross bar 131 will not contact the carton array 42. By using the second speed being greater than the first speed, the third cross bar 131 will eventually catch up with and abut against the carton array 42, and the carton array 42 will be lifted to the second speed and then pushed into the third conveyor belt 30.

[0118] In addition, in one embodiment, after step S60, the method further includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0119] S61, when it is detected that neither the third crossbar nor the fourth crossbar abuts against the box packing array, driving the second crawler based on a fourth speed, wherein the fourth speed is greater than the second speed;

[0120] S62, when the third cross bar moves to the reference position, the second crawler track is driven based on the second speed.

[0121] It should be noted that, since the third crossbar 131 and the fourth crossbar 132 are used to push the packing array 42, the original speed of the packing array 42 is the first speed, so the third crossbar 131 and the fourth crossbar 132 will detect a certain abutment pressure, for example, the energy consumption of the driving motor is higher when abutting the packing array 42 than when not abutting. In this scenario, the packing array 42 output this time has been moved to the third conveyor belt 30, and the third crossbar 131 and the fourth crossbar 132 need to be restored to the standby position as soon as possible to trigger the next cycle trigger signal, so they can be reset at the fourth speed with a larger value to improve production efficiency.

[0122] It should be noted that, in actual operation, the first conveyor belt 10 may be conveying multiple cyclically separated packaging arrays. Unlike the first track 12 which stops periodically, the second track 13 always keeps rotating and continuously triggers the cycle trigger signal. Those skilled in the art can control the length of the first conveyor belt 10 and the spacing between the second track 13 and the first track 12 so that the second track 13 continuously inputs the packaging array 42 during the continuous rotation, and the first track 12 and the lifting and pressing plate 11 continuously output two packaging arrays in each cycle, thereby improving the flexibility of the packaging device.

[0123] like Figure 1 As shown, a second cross bar 122 is provided in the first crawler 12, so that two packing arrays 42 are output in one cycle, and therefore a fourth cross bar 132 needs to be provided synchronously in the second crawler 13.

[0124] In addition, in one embodiment, step S70 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0125] S71, starting timing after obtaining a detection trigger signal sent by the infrared sensor, wherein the detection trigger signal is generated after the infrared sensor detects the paperboard folded by the first diagonal rod;

[0126] S72, when the timing duration is equal to the seventh duration, controlling the folding push plate to perform a folding back-and-forth operation, wherein the rotation angle of the folding back-and-forth operation is 90 degrees, and the seventh duration is determined based on the first length and the second speed;

[0127] S73, starting the horizontal U-shaped arm, the third crawler belt and the fourth crawler belt with the second speed as the linear speed, wherein the horizontal U-shaped arm rotates along the transmission direction of the third conveyor belt.

[0128] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the side of the cardboard 50 includes four planes, one of which is abutted against the second conveyor belt 20. Under the action of the first inclined rod 311, among the two folded planes, one plane includes a carton side, and the other screen includes two carton sides, so that the cardboard 50 is folded into a concave shape, with the side with two carton sides being higher, triggering the infrared sensor 313 to generate a detection trigger signal to start the sealing device.

[0129] It should be noted that after the detection trigger signal is obtained, the plane including the two sides of the carton is folded first, and the upper side of the carton is folded 90 degrees, so that the carton is folded from a concave shape to a cuboid. In this embodiment, the seventh time duration is used as the timing duration, the third conveyor belt 30 runs at the second speed, the length of the packing array 42 is the first length, and the infrared sensor 313 is at a certain distance from the folding push plate 32. Therefore, within the seventh time duration, the carton does not completely leave the action range of the folding push plate 32, but is located in the action range of the folding push plate 32. The side sealing of the carton is completed by rotating the folding push plate 32 inward by 90 degrees. Of course, adhesive can be set on the side of the cardboard 50, and the adhesive is fixed after folding, and a roller can also be set behind the folding push plate 32 to improve the pasting effect.

[0130] It should be noted that after the side folding of the paperboard 50 is completed, the front and rear ends are still open and have not yet been folded, and also include four sides, such as Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 rotates at a second speed as a linear speed, for example Figure 1 The horizontal U-shaped arm 33 at the proximal end rotates counterclockwise, and the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 at the distal end rotates clockwise. Without blocking the carton, the two sides of the side surfaces at the front and rear ends of the carton that are perpendicular to the third conveyor belt 30 are folded by the two ends of the horizontal U-shaped arm 33. Figure 1 As shown, by controlling the start timing of the horizontal U-shaped arm 33, after executing the movement to the horizontal U-shaped arm 33, the front straight arm of the horizontal U-shaped arm just turns to the front end of the carton, folds the side through the abutment, and the linear speed is the second speed, the opening diameter is equal to the first length, so the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 will not interfere with the carton when rotating, and after the rear end of the carton enters the range of the horizontal U-shaped arm 33, since the side of the rear end is not folded, the overall length of the carton is still greater than the first length, so that the other side straight arm of the horizontal U-shaped arm abuts the side of the rear end of the carton to complete the folding. The horizontal U-shaped arm on the other side is symmetrical and similar, and will not be repeated here.

[0131] It should be noted that the horizontal U-shaped arm on each side of this embodiment includes two Figure 1 The symmetrical U-shaped arm shown can cooperate with the first conveyor belt to output two box arrays each time, and fold two cartons each time it rotates, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0132] It should be noted that the third crawler 34 and the fourth crawler 35 have multiple pairs of columns 36. According to the description of the above embodiment, the horizontal U-shaped arm 33 can fold the two side surfaces of the front and rear ends of the carton. In this embodiment, the other two side surfaces are folded by the columns 36, thereby completing the sealing operation of the front and rear ends of the carton.

[0133] For example, refer to Figure 1Taking the third crawler 34 as an example, when the carton moves to the entrance of the third crawler 34, by pre-adjusting the reset position of the column 36, when the third crawler 34 runs at the second speed, the column 36 just abuts against the upper side of the front end of the carton when it turns from the upper side to the lower side, folding it 90 degrees; in the process of continuing to move, since the distance between the columns 36 is the first distance, when the rear end of the carton enters the third crawler 34, the next pair of columns 36 turns from the upper side to the lower side, realizing the folding of the upper side of the rear end of the carton. The fourth crawler 35 folds the lower side of the front and rear ends of the carton in the same way, which will not be repeated here.
