[0020] Implementation column 1, reference Figure 1-7 The product 13 in this embodiment is a memory stick, and the material tray 15 is an anti-static box. The production line has multiple material trays for rotation, which are also called turnover trays.

[0021] A feeding packaging machine includes a body 1, a feeding unit 2, a clamping device 3, a packaging unit 5, a vertical material device 7, a full box device 8, an empty box device 9, and a control system 10; the packaging unit 5 is located on one side of the body 1, the clamping device 3 is above the packaging unit 5, the full box device 8 and the empty box device 9 are below the packaging unit 5, and the feeding unit 2 is located on one side of the vertical material device 7.

[0022] Furthermore, the body 1 includes a display 101 , a grating protection cover 102 , and a grating emitting end 103 .

[0023] Furthermore, the feeding unit 2 includes a streamline 201, a width adjustment device 202, a suction component 203, and an empty turntable exit device 204.

[0024] The feeding unit 2 is a set of adjustable streamlines with three width modes, namely wide, medium and narrow. The width adjusting device 202 can adjust the width of the streamline 201. The initial state is the "medium" width mode. The streamline 201 can transmit the entire material tray. When it is the narrowest, it is used to transmit the material to the synchronous belt of the vertical material device 7. When it is the widest, the material tray is lowered to the empty turntable exit device 204. The function of the empty turntable exit device 204 is to recover the material tray 15 of the feeding unit 2.

[0025] In this embodiment, the width adjustment device 202 is two cylinders on both sides of the streamline 201 to complete the three states. There is a suction component 203 above the streamline, and the suction component 203 can suck up or put down the material or product.

[0026] When the equipment is started, the material tray containing the product enters the feeding unit 2. At this time, the state of the feeding unit 2 is the "medium" width mode, and the suction nozzle on the suction component 203 sucks up all the products 13 in the material tray; at this time, the control system controls the state of the feeding unit 2 to change to the "wide" width mode, and the material tray 15 falls naturally and enters the empty turntable exit device 204, and then the control system controls the state of the feeding unit 2 to change to the "narrow" width mode, and the suction component 203 descends to place the product 13 on the streamline 201 of the feeding unit 2, and the streamline 201 drives the product 13 forward to the steering clamp 702 of the vertical material device 7.

[0027] The material erecting device 7 comprises a conveying line 701, a steering clamp 702, a sensing device 703, and a positioning device 704. The material erecting device 7 is installed on the fuselage 1.

[0028] The conveyor line 701 is provided with a plurality of steering clamps 702. When the product 13 enters the steering clamp 702 driven by the streamline 201, the product 13 rotates from 0° to 60-90° as the conveyor line 701 rotates; in this embodiment, it is 90°.

[0029] After multiple pieces of product 13 are placed upright, the positioning device 704 is started to fix multiple steering clamps 702, and the clamping device 3 clamps the product 13. A sensing device 703 is provided at the tail of the conveyor line 701 to monitor whether there is a product 13 at the steering clamp 702 at the tail. If there is no product 13, the conveyor line 701 rotates. If there is a product 13, the control system controls the conveyor line 701 to stop rotating.

[0030] After the clamping claw module 301 of the clamping device 3 clamps the product 13 , the moving module 302 drives the product 13 to the packaging unit 5 .

[0031] The clamping device 3 comprises a clamping jaw module 301 and a moving module 302. The clamping jaw module 301 comprises a plurality of clamping jaws 3011. The clamping device 3 can clamp a plurality of workpieces at the same time. The inner side of the clamping jaws has a V-shaped groove to prevent the material from shaking.

[0032] The packaging unit 5 is composed of 6 steps: taking out the empty packaging box, sucking the cover, returning to place the workpiece, returning to place the cover, and ejecting the packed packaging box.

[0033] The packaging unit 5 includes a packaging box fixing plate 500 , a fixing device 507 , a module 509 , and a cover suction device 511 .

[0034] The fixing device 507 includes a bottom rotating clamp 501, a rotating cylinder 502, a rack base 503, a top rotating clamp 5030, a box pressing cylinder 504, a positioning pressure rod 505, a suction nozzle 506, a box receiving cylinder 508, a mounting plate 510, and a gear 515; the cover suction device 511 includes a cover suction cylinder 5111 and a cover suction cup 5112; the module 509 is fixed on the mounting plate 510, and the packaging box fixing plate 500 is pulled and moved by the module 509. Each box pressing cylinder 504 is respectively installed with a rack base 504, and the rack base 504 converts the linear motion into rotational motion through the gear 515. The box pressing cylinder 504 rotates the top rotating clamp 5030 and the bottom rotating clamp 501 by 90°, thereby clamping the packaging box, and the rotating cylinder 502 can rotate the positioning pressure rod 505 and the suction nozzle 506 by 90°.

[0035] The box receiving cylinder 508 extends out at the same time to lift the packaging box 14, and the cover suction cylinder 5111 drives the cover suction nozzle 5112 to move up and down, thereby driving the cover to move up and down.

[0036] The packaging box fixing plate 500 is a key component of this unit. It is pulled by the module 509 to move between the empty box bin and the full box bin. There is a group of box receiving cylinders 508 in front and behind it, which are responsible for clamping the packaging box in front and back. There are also four bottom rotating clamps 501 on both sides, which press and support the packaging box from both sides respectively. Its movement is driven by the box pressing cylinder 504 through the gear 515. In addition, there are two rotating cylinders 502 in the middle position on both sides of the packaging box fixing plate 500, which are responsible for positioning the bottom of the packaging box. The suction nozzle 506 sucks the packaging box to facilitate the suction of the lid.

[0037] The full box device 8 includes a full box lifting module 800 , a full box pushing assembly 801 , a full box bottom tray 802 , and a full box material upper tray 803 .

[0038] The full box upper tray 803 of the full box device 8 rises to catch the packaged packaging box 14, and the box receiving cylinder 508 and the box pressing cylinder 504 operate to release the packaging box 14, and then the lifting module 800 drives the full box upper tray 803 to descend to a certain height, waiting for the arrival of the next box 14 and then rising again. When the packaging boxes 14 accumulate to the set number, the full box upper tray 803 will continue to descend and intersect with the full box bottom tray 802 and be slightly lower. The full box bottom tray 802 moves out the accumulated packaging boxes 14, and at the same time the empty box device 9 pushes out a new empty packaging box 14, waiting to complete the next round of procedures.

[0039] When the control system detects that the full box lifting module 800 has dropped to a specified height, the height of the full box upper tray 803 is lower than the full box bottom tray 802. At this time, the full box upper tray 803 accumulates a certain number of packaged boxes 14 and falls to a level slightly lower than the full box bottom tray 802. The boxes are transferred at the intersection from the full box upper tray 803 to the full box bottom tray 802, and then the full box pushing assembly 801 drives the full box bottom tray 802 and the packaged boxes 14 carried to move out. The full box bottom tray 802 and the full box upper tray 803 are designed to intersect with each other, thereby realizing the conversion of box transportation.

[0040] The empty box device 9 includes an empty box lifting module 900, an empty box pushing assembly 901, an empty box bottom tray 902, and an empty box upper tray 903. The staff puts the empty packaging boxes 14 into the empty box bottom tray 902; the empty box bottom tray 902 and the empty box bottom tray 903 transfer the empty packaging boxes at the intersection. The principle is the same as that of the full box device 8. The function of the empty box device 9 is to provide empty packaging boxes 14 for the loading packaging machine.

[0041] The labeling device 4 obtains the label printed in real time from the label printer 6 and then sticks the label on the lid of the packaging box 14.

[0042] The technology of the labeling device 4 and the label printer 6 can refer to the invention patent with publication number CN117755622A, a labeling machine and a labeling method that can both take and apply.

[0043] The detection component 14 can take pictures and use algorithms to identify whether it is placed properly, whether the lid is closed, and whether the label is affixed. If it is defective, the control system is notified to alarm. The detection component 14 is installed on the clamping device.

[0044] A method for using a feeding packaging machine: S1: The feeding device completes the separation of the material tray 15 and the product 13, and the product 13 arrives at the tail of the feeding device; S2: the material erecting device 7 clamps the product 13 and erects the product 13 in sequence; S3: feeding and packaging: the cover suction device 511 sucks up the cover of the packaging box 14, the clamping device 3 puts the product 13 into the packaging box 14, and the cover suction device 511 descends to cover the cover of the packaging box 14; S4: the labeling device 4 obtains the label printed in real time from the label printer 6, and then attaches the label to the lid of the packaging box 14; S1, S2, S3, and S4 can be performed simultaneously.

[0045] The detailed steps of S3 and S4 are: The empty packaging box 14 is lifted up from the empty box device 9, and the module 509 pulls the packaging box fixing plate 500 to move to the top of the empty packaging box 14. The two box receiving cylinders 508 extend at the same time to drive their respective bottom rotating clamps 501 to receive the packaging box 14. Then the module 509 pulls the packaging box fixing plate 500 to move to the top of the full box device 8, that is, below the lid suction device 511. The rotating cylinder 502 is actuated, and the positioning pressure rod 505 is rotated 90° and supports the bottom groove of the packaging box 14. At the same time, the upper suction nozzle 506 is also rotated to the bottom of the packaging box 14 and sucks the bottom of the packaging box 14. The cover suction cylinder 5111 is actuated to push the cover suction device 511 down, and the cover suction cup 5112 sucks the packaging box 14. The box lid then rises to separate the lid from the packaging box 14, and rises to a height that does not affect the movement of the packaging box fixing plate 500, and then the four box pressing cylinders 504 drive their respective rack bases 503, and the four top rotating clamps 5030 clamp the packaging box through their respective gears 515, and the module 509 pulls the packaging box fixing plate 500 to move to the empty box device 9, and the clamping device 3 puts the product 13 into the packaging box 14. After it is full, the module 509 pulls the packaging box fixing plate 500 to move to the full box device 8, and the cover suction device 511 descends to cover the lid of the packaging box 14, and the labeling device 4 obtains the real-time printed label from the label printer, and then sticks the label on the lid of the packaging box 14 to complete the packaging.

[0046] In step S3: the empty box device 9 provides an empty packaging box 14 with its lid removed, and waits in place; In step S3: the full box upper tray 803 accumulates a certain number of packaged packaging boxes 14 and falls to a level slightly lower than the full box bottom tray 802, and then the full box pushing assembly 801 drives the full box bottom tray 802 and the packaged packaging boxes 14 carried thereon to move out.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
