Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of production equipment, and in particular to a reel packing device and a reel packing method. Background Art

[0002] Existing reel designs, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is mainly composed of a core 11 and two flanges 12 located on the upper and lower sides of the core 11. When packing, the conventional practice is to stack multiple reels vertically in the up and down directions to form a stack, and then load these stacked reels into the box. However, since the flanges 12 of some reels are designed to be thinner, the structural strength is insufficient, especially the edge portion of the flange 12 away from the core 11. When multiple reels are stacked, due to the effect of gravity, the edge portion of the flange 12 is squeezed by the upper reel and lacks sufficient support, so it is easy to deform. This deformation will affect the subsequent use of the reel. In addition, this packing method also fails to make full use of the space in the box, limits the number of reels that can be loaded in the box, and is not conducive to improving packing efficiency and space utilization. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a reel packing device, which can combine multiple reels into a reel layer group through a reel sorting device, and can use the part of the reel close to the reel core to support the edge part of the rib of the adjacent reel, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of deformation of the edge part of the rib, and the multiple reels in the reel layer group are staggered with each other, which can make full use of the space in the box, increase the number of reels that can be loaded in the box, and help improve the space utilization rate of the packing.

[0004] The invention also provides a packing method for the reel.

[0005] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the reel packing equipment described in the embodiment includes a frame, a reel sorting device and a conveying device. The reel sorting device is arranged on the frame and includes a jig group and a first moving mechanism. The reel sorting device has a first preset direction and a second preset direction, and there is a preset angle between the first preset direction and the second preset direction. The jig group is provided with multiple jigs and distributed along the first preset direction. Each of the jig groups includes multiple jig seats for positioning and placing reels. Multiple jig seats in the same jig group are distributed along the second preset direction. The first moving mechanism is transmission-connected with the jig seat and can drive multiple jig seats to move relative to each other, so that one rib of the reel on each jig seat can be inserted between two ribs of the reel on the adjacent jig seat, so that multiple reels are combined to form a reel layer group. The conveying device is arranged on the frame and can convey the reel layer group on the reel sorting device to the box.

[0006] The reel packing equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: when in use, a plurality of reels are placed one by one on a plurality of jig seats, and a first motion mechanism drives the plurality of jig seats to move relative to each other, so that one rib of the reel on each jig seat can be inserted between two ribs of the reel on an adjacent jig seat, forming an interlaced structure, so that a plurality of reels are combined to form a reel layer group, and the transport device transports the reel layer group on the reel sorting device into a box, and then the reel sorting device and the transport device are reset and the above steps are repeated to stack the plurality of reel layer groups layer by layer and load them into the box, thereby realizing the packing operation of the plurality of reels. A plurality of reels are combined to form a reel layer group by setting a reel sorting device. In the reel layer group, since the plurality of reels are staggered and inserted into each other, the ribs of some reels will be located on the upper side of adjacent reels and the edge of the ribs will be close to the core of the adjacent reel. The structural strength at the core is better than that at the edge of the ribs. Therefore, the portion of the reel close to the core can be used to support the edge of the rib of the adjacent reel, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility of deformation of the edge of the rib. Moreover, the plurality of reels in the reel layer group are staggered with each other, and the structure is compact, so that the space in the box can be fully utilized, the number of reels that can be loaded in the box is increased, and the space utilization rate of the packing is improved.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4A reel packing device includes a frame 100, a reel arrangement device 200 and a transport device 300. The reel arrangement device 200 is arranged on the frame 100 and includes a fixture group and a first motion mechanism 220. The reel arrangement device 200 has a first preset direction and a second preset direction. There is a preset angle between the first preset direction and the second preset direction. The fixture group is provided with a plurality of fixtures and is distributed along the first preset direction. Each fixture group includes a plurality of fixture seats 210 for positioning and placing the reel 10. Multiple fixtures in the same fixture group The seats 210 are distributed along a second preset direction, and the first moving mechanism 220 is transmission-connected to the jig seats 210, which can drive the plurality of jig seats 210 to move relative to each other, so that one side guard 12 of the reel 10 on each jig seat 210 can be inserted between two side guards 12 of the reel 10 on the adjacent jig seat 210, so that the plurality of reels 10 are combined to form a reel layer group 20, and the transport device 300 is disposed on the frame 100 and can transport the reel layer group 20 on the reel arrangement device 200 to the box 30.

[0045] It is understandable that if Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in the present embodiment, the first preset direction is the front-to-back direction, the second preset direction is the left-to-right direction, the preset angle between the first preset direction and the second preset direction is 90 degrees, a plurality of jig seats 210 spaced apart along the left-to-right direction form a jig group, a plurality of jig groups spaced apart along the front-to-back direction, the number of jig seats 210 spaced apart along the front-to-back direction and along the left-to-right direction are correspondingly set according to the length and width of the box 30, and the first motion mechanism 220 is used to drive the movement between the plurality of jig seats 210. When in use, the plurality of reels 10 are placed one by one on the plurality of jig seats 210, and the first motion mechanism 220 drives the plurality of jig seats 210 to move relative to each other, so that one rib 12 of the reel 10 on each jig seat 210 (the rib 12 located on the upper side of the winding core 11 or the rib 12 located on the lower side of the winding core 11) can be inserted between the two ribs 12 of the reel 10 on the adjacent jig seat 210, forming an interlaced structure, refer to Fig. 9 , so that the plurality of reels 10 are combined to form a reel layer group 20, and the handling device 300 transports the reel layer group 20 on the reel arrangement device 200 to the box 30, and then the reel arrangement device 200 and the handling device 300 are reset and the above steps are repeated to stack the plurality of reel layer groups 20 layer by layer and load them into the box 30, thereby realizing the boxing operation of the plurality of reels 10. By setting the reel arrangement device 200 to combine the plurality of reels 10 to form a reel layer group 20, in the reel layer group 20, because the plurality of reels 10 are interlaced and inserted, refer to Fig.10The upper side ribs 12 of some reels 10 will be located on the upper side of the adjacent reel 10 and the edge of the ribs 12 will be close to the core 11 of the adjacent reel 10. The upper side ribs 12 of some reels 10 will be inserted between the two side ribs 12 of the adjacent reel 10 and the edge of the ribs 12 will also be close to the core 11 of the adjacent reel 10. The structural strength of the core 11 is better than that of the edge of the rib 12. Therefore, the structure of the core 11 and the structure of the rib 12 close to the core 11 are not easy to deform. Fig.10 Taking the left and right reels 10 in the figure as an example, the reel 10 on the right side can use the part of the reel 10 on the left side close to the core 11 to form a support for the edge part of its upper side rib 12, and the edge part of the upper side rib of the left reel 10 is close to the core 11 of the right reel 10. The structure there can be used to shield and protect the edge part of the upper side rib of the left reel 10, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility of deformation of the edge part of the rib 12. Moreover, the multiple reels 10 in the reel layer group 20 are staggered with each other, and the structure is compact, which can make full use of the space in the box and increase the number of reels 10 that can be loaded in the box, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate of packing.

[0046] In actual application, the first preset direction can also be the left and right direction, the second preset direction can also be the front and back direction, or the two preset directions can be other directions, and the preset angle between the two preset directions can also be other angles. The specific structure can be changed according to the shape of the box 30, etc. The specific structure of the tray sorting device 200 and the transport device 300 will not be described in detail here, and will be explained in detail below.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first motion mechanism 220 includes a first slide rail 221 and a second slide rail 222, the first slide rail 221 extends along a first preset direction, the second slide rail 222 extends along a second preset direction, and a plurality of first slide rails 221 and a plurality of second slide rails 222 are provided. At most one of the plurality of first slide rails 221 is fixed to the rack 100, and the remaining first slide rails 221 are slidably connected to the rack 100 and the sliding direction is parallel to the second preset direction. At most one of the plurality of second slide rails 222 is fixed to the rack 100, and the remaining second slide rails 222 are slidably connected to the rack 100 and the sliding direction is parallel to the first preset direction. In the preset direction, multiple fixture seats 210 in the same fixture group are all slidably connected to the same second slide rail 222 and are respectively linked to multiple first slide rails 221. The first motion mechanism 220 also includes a first driver 223 and a second driver 224. The first driver 223 is used to drive the multiple first slide rails 221 to move closer or farther away from each other, and can drive the corresponding fixture seat 210 to move along the second slide rail 222 through the first slide rail 221. The second driver 224 is used to drive the multiple second slide rails 222 to move closer or farther away from each other, and can drive the corresponding fixture group to move through the second slide rail 222.

[0048] It is understandable that if Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first slide rail 221 extends forward and backward and is provided with six, the second slide rail 222 extends left and right and is provided with four, the first slide rail 221 and the second slide rail 222 are provided with multiple, the six first slide rails 221 are slidably connected to the frame 100 along the left and right direction and are arranged in the left and right direction, the four second slide rails 222 are arranged in the front and back direction, and the second slide rail 222 located at the rear is fixed to the frame 100, and the remaining three second slide rails 222 are slidably connected to the frame 100 and the sliding direction is parallel to the front and back direction, and the multiple fixture seats 210 in the same fixture group are slidably connected to the same second slide rail 222 and respectively correspond to the linkage with the multiple first slide rails 221, so that When the first slide rail 221 moves left and right, it can drive the corresponding fixture seat 210 to move in the left and right direction. The first driver 223 is used to drive the multiple first slide rails 221 to move closer or farther relative to each other, and can drive the corresponding fixture seat 210 to move along the second slide rail 222 through the first slide rail 221, so that multiple fixture seats 210 in the same fixture group move closer or farther relative to each other. The second driver 224 is used to drive the multiple second slide rails 222 to move closer or farther relative to each other, and can drive the corresponding fixture group to move through the second slide rail 222, so that multiple fixture groups move closer or farther relative to each other, so as to achieve the relative movement of multiple fixture seats 210 in the left and right and front and back directions. Through the above structure, the criss-cross slide rails are used to drive the corresponding multiple fixture seats 210 to move, which is conducive to reducing the number of drivers set, simplifying the structure, and reducing the production cost of the equipment.

[0049] In actual application, the four second slide rails 222 can also be slidably connected to the frame 100, and one of the six first slide rails 221 can also be fixedly connected to the frame 100. In addition to the above structure, the first motion mechanism 220 can also include multiple drivers to correspond to multiple fixture seats 210. The multiple drivers are respectively used to drive the multiple fixture seats 210 to move, thereby realizing the relative movement of the multiple fixture seats 210 towards and away from each other, which can be set accordingly according to actual use needs.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first motion mechanism 220 also includes a linkage seat 225, which is slidably connected to the frame 100 and the sliding direction is parallel to the second preset direction. At least one first linkage groove 226 is provided on the linkage seat 225, and the first linkage groove 226 extends along the second preset direction. The first slide rail 221 is provided with a first linkage portion 227. The first linkage portion 227 of at most one first slide rail 221 among the multiple first slide rails 221 is fixedly matched with the linkage seat 225, and the first linkage portions 227 of the remaining first slide rails 221 are arranged in the corresponding first linkage groove 226 and can move along the first linkage groove 226. The first driver 223 is drivingly connected to the linkage seat 225 and can drive the linkage seat 225 to move. The linkage seat 225 can abut against the corresponding first linkage portion 227 through the groove wall of the first linkage groove 226 to drive the corresponding first slide rail 221 to move, so that the multiple first slide rails 221 can move relative to each other or move closer or farther.

[0051] It is understandable that if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the linkage seat 225 and the first driver 223 are each provided with two, which correspond to the first slide rails 221 on the left and right sides respectively. One linkage seat 225 corresponds to the linkage of three first slide rails 221. The linkage seat 225 is slidably connected to the frame 100 and the sliding direction is parallel to the left and right direction. Two first linkage grooves 226 are provided on the linkage seat 225. The length of the first linkage groove 226 corresponds to the moving stroke of the first slide rail 221 that cooperates with the linkage. The first linkage part 227 is a roller, which is rotatably connected to the first slide rail 221. Figure 6 , with three first slide rails 221 as a group, Figure 6 Among the three first slide rails 221 shown, the first linkage portion 227 of the leftmost first slide rail 221 is fixedly matched with the linkage seat 225 and moves left and right with the linkage seat 225, and the first linkage portions 227 of the remaining two first slide rails 221 are matched with the corresponding first linkage grooves 226 and can move along the first linkage grooves 226. Figure 6To explain, when in use, the first driver 223 drives the linkage seat 225 to move rightward, and the linkage seat 225 drives the first slide rail 221 on the left to move rightward and close to the first slide rail 221 in the middle, and the first linkage parts 227 of the first slide rails 221 in the middle and on the right both move leftward relative to the first linkage groove 226, so that the two are temporarily immobile; when the first slide rail 221 on the left moves to contact the first slide rail 221 in the middle, the first slide rail 221 on the left can push the first slide rail 221 in the middle, or when the first linkage part 227 of the first slide rail 221 in the middle moves to contact the left side groove wall of the first linkage groove 226, the linkage seat 225 can push the first linkage part 227 through the groove wall of the first linkage groove 226. At this time, the linkage seat 225 continues to move rightward, which will drive the two first slide rails 221 on the left and in the middle to move toward the first slide rail 221 on the right, so that the three first slide rails 221 move relative to each other and get closer. When resetting, the first driver 223 drives the linkage seat 225 to move to the left, and the linkage seat 225 drives the first slide rail 221 on the left to move to the left, away from the first slide rail 221 in the middle, and the first linkage parts 227 of the first slide rails 221 in the middle and on the right both move rightward relative to the first linkage groove 226, so that the two are temporarily immobile; when the first linkage part 227 of the first slide rail 221 in the middle moves to contact the right side groove wall of the first linkage groove 226, the linkage seat 225 can push the first linkage part 227 through the groove wall of the first linkage groove 226, at this time, the linkage seat 225 continues to move to the left, which will drive the two first slide rails 221 on the left and in the middle to move away from the first slide rail 221 on the right, so that the three first slide rails 221 move away from each other. By adopting the above structure, one first driver 223 can drive multiple first slide rails 221 in the same group to move closer and away from each other, which is conducive to reducing the number of drivers, simplifying the structure, and reducing the production cost of the equipment.

[0052] In actual application, there can be multiple linkage seats 225, and the number of first slide rails 221 linked to one linkage seat 225 can also be two, four or more, and the first linkage parts 227 of the multiple first slide rails 221 linked to it can also be matched with the corresponding first linkage grooves 226. Of course, in addition to the above structure, there can be multiple first drivers 223, and each first driver 223 drives a corresponding first slide rail 221 to move, so as to achieve relative movement between the multiple first slide rails 221 to move closer or farther, which can be set accordingly according to actual use needs.

[0053] In some embodiments, a hook member 228 is fixedly provided on at least a portion of the second slide rails 222. When the multiple second slide rails 222 move away from each other relative to each other, the hook member 228 can enable two adjacent second slide rails 222 to be linked. When the multiple second slide rails 222 move closer to each other relative to each other, the hook member 228 can release the linkage between two adjacent second slide rails 222, so that one of the two adjacent second slide rails 222 can move to push the other second slide rail 222 to move.

[0054] It is understandable that if Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, of the two adjacent second slide rails 222, a hook member 228 is fixedly disposed on one of the second slide rails 222, and a hook portion is disposed on the rear side of the hook member 228, and the hook portion of the hook member 228 can move to abut against or separate from the other second slide rail 222. Figure 7 Taking the four second slide rails 222 shown as an example, the second driver 224 is connected to the second slide rail 222 at the front side. When in use, the second driver 224 drives the second slide rail 222 at the front side to move backward and approach the second slide rail 222 adjacent to the rear thereof. At this time, the second slide rail 222 at the front side drives the hook member 228 thereon to move backward, and the hook portion of the hook member 228 moves backward and separates from the adjacent second slide rail 222, releasing the linkage, so that the second slide rail 222 at the front side can move backward to push the second slide rail 222 adjacent to it to move, thereby realizing the relative movement between the two and approaching each other. The other two second slide rails 222 at the rear are also moved by this When resetting, the second driver 224 drives the second slide rail 222 on the front side to move forward and drives the hook member 228 thereon to move forward. At this time, the second slide rail 222 on the front side moves away from the second slide rail 222 on the rear side. When the hook member 228 of the second slide rail 222 on the front side moves to make its hook portion contact with the adjacent second slide rail 222, the two second slide rails 222 are linked, and the second driver 224 can drive the two second slide rails 222 on the front side to move forward together, thereby driving the second slide rails 222 forward one by one, and realizing the relative movement away from the plurality of second slide rails 222. By adopting the above structure, one second driver 224 can drive the plurality of second slide rails 222 to move closer and away relative to each other, which is conducive to reducing the number of drivers, simplifying the structure, and reducing the production cost of the equipment.

[0055] In actual application, the number of hooks can be set according to actual use needs. For example, each second slide rail 222 is provided with a hook member 228, or multiple second slide rails 222 are divided into a group, and a hook member 228 is provided between two second slide rails 222 in the same group. The number of second drivers 224 can be set according to the number of groups of the divided second slide rails 222. Of course, in addition to the above structure, multiple second drivers 224 can be provided, and each second driver 224 drives a corresponding second slide rail 222 to move, thereby realizing the relative movement of multiple second slide rails 222 to move closer or farther. The specific setting can be made according to actual use needs.

[0056] In some embodiments, the fixture seat 210 is provided with a placement surface 211 for placing the reel 10 , and the placement surface 211 is provided with a positioning column 212 for inserting the reel core 11 .

[0057] It is understandable that if Figure 7 As shown, each jig seat 210 is provided with a placement surface 211 on the upper side, and the reel 10 is placed on the placement surface 211 and its retaining edge 12 is in contact with the placement surface 211. A positioning column 212 is provided in the middle of the placement surface 211. The core 11 of the reel 10 is inserted by the positioning column 212, so as to realize the positioning and placement of the reel 10 on the jig seat 210, and avoid its horizontal movement causing position deviation. Its structure is simple, which is convenient for loading and unloading of the reel 10 and separation, and is convenient for use. In actual application, the positioning column 212 can be set to be telescopically movable relative to the jig seat 210, so that it can automatically insert and leave the core 11, which is convenient for loading and unloading. In addition to the above structure, an adsorption component can be set on the jig seat 210 to adsorb the reel 10, or a clamping component can be set to clamp the reel 10, etc., so as to realize the fixed placement of the reel 10 on the jig seat 210, which can be set accordingly according to actual use needs.

[0058] In some embodiments, the disk arrangement device 200 further includes a limiting mechanism 230 , which is disposed corresponding to the jig seat 210 and is used to limit the reel 10 on the jig seat 210 from being separated from the positioning column 212 .

[0059] It is understandable that if Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, by setting a limiting mechanism 230, the limiting mechanism 230 is used to limit the reel 10 on the fixture seat 210 from being separated from the positioning column 212, so that the reel 10 on the fixture seat 210 can be fixed well, which is convenient for use. In actual application, the limiting mechanism 230 can be set accordingly according to actual use needs, which will not be described in detail here, and will be described in detail below.

[0060] In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 230 includes a rotating shaft 231 and a third driver 236. The rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the frame 100. A plurality of connecting seats 232 are slidably arranged on the rotating shaft 231. A limiting plate 234 is arranged on the connecting seat 232. The rotation axis of the rotating shaft 231 is parallel to the first preset direction or the second preset direction. The connecting seat 232 can be linked with the second slide rail 222 or with the first slide rail 221. The third driver 236 can drive the rotating shaft 231 to rotate, so as to drive the limiting plate 234 to flip to the upper side of the corresponding fixture seat 210 through the connecting seat 232.

[0061] It is understandable that if Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating shaft 231 is located at the front side of the first moving mechanism 220, the rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the frame 100 and extends in the left and right directions, six connecting seats 232 are slidably arranged on the rotating shaft 231 to correspond to the six first slide rails 221, one of the connecting seat 232 and the first slide rail 221 is provided with a second linkage groove 233, and the other is correspondingly provided with a second linkage part 229 that cooperates with the second linkage groove 233, and the second linkage part 229 is inserted into the second linkage groove 233, so that the linkage between the connecting seat 232 and the first slide rail 221 can be realized, so that the first slide rail 221 can drive the connecting seat 232 to move left and right along the rotating shaft 231 to follow the jig seat 210 that moves left and right; each connecting seat 232 is provided with a limiting plate 234, and the limiting plate 234 is provided with an avoidance groove 235 for the positioning column 212 to pass through, so as to better cooperate with the jig seat 210 and limit the reel 10 thereon. When in use, the third driver 236 drives the rotating shaft 231 to rotate, and the connecting seat 232 thereon is driven to rotate through the rotating shaft 231, so that the limiting plate 234 is flipped to the upper side of the corresponding fixture seat 210 and cooperates with the placement surface 211 to clamp the reel 10 thereon, thereby limiting the reel 10 on the fixture seat 210. Its structure is simple, and it can achieve a good limiting effect, and it is easy to use.

[0062] In actual application, the rotating shaft 231 can also be arranged on the left or right side of the first moving mechanism 220, and it can extend in the front-to-back direction so that the connecting seat 232 thereon is linked with the second slide rail 222; in addition to the above structure, the limiting mechanism 230 can also be a negative pressure suction cup arranged on the fixture seat 210, so as to limit the reel 10 by adsorbing the reel 10, and the specific setting can be made according to the actual use needs.

[0063] In some embodiments, a placement surface 211 for placing the reel 10 is provided on the fixture seat 210 , and the placement surfaces 211 of two adjacent fixture seats 210 are parallel to each other.

[0064] It is understandable that if Figure 7 As shown, by setting the placement surfaces 211 of two adjacent jig seats 210 to be parallel to each other, that is, there is a certain height difference between the placement surfaces 211 of the two adjacent jig seats 210, so that the reels 10 placed thereon also have a certain height difference, so that it is convenient for the sidewalls 12 of one of the two adjacent reels 10 to be inserted between the two sidewalls 12 of the other, which is convenient for use. In actual application, the height difference between the placement surfaces 211 of the two adjacent jig seats 210 is preferably equal to the thickness of the sidewalls 12 of the reel 10. The placement surfaces 211 of the multiple jig seats 210 can be staggered with one high and one low, or can be gradually increased or gradually decreased, which can be set accordingly according to actual use needs.

[0065] In some embodiments, the handling device 300 includes a fork assembly 310 and a second motion mechanism 320, which is transmission-connected to the fork assembly 310 and can drive the fork assembly 310 to move. The fork assembly 310 can be inserted into the reel layer group 20 or moved to the lower side of the reel layer group 20.

[0066] It is understandable that if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when in use, the second movement mechanism 320 drives the fork assembly 310 to move close to the disk sorting device 200, so that the fork assembly 310 is inserted between the two retaining edges 12 of the reel 10 in the reel layer group 20, and then the third driver 236 drives the rotating shaft 231 to rotate, so that the limiting plate 234 flips and leaves the fixture seat 210, and the limiting mechanism 230 releases the limit on the reel 10 on the fixture seat 210, and the second movement mechanism 320 drives the fork assembly 310 to move up, thereby driving the reel layer group 20 to move up and make it separate from the disk sorting device 200; the second The moving mechanism 320 drives the fork assembly 310 to move to the box 30, so that the reel layer group 20 is located at the opening of the box 30 and the lower part of the reel layer group 20 enters the box 30, and then the second moving mechanism 320 drives the fork assembly 310 to move relative to the box 30, and uses the opening edge of the box 30 to separate the reel layer group 20 from the fork assembly 310 and make the reel layer group 20 fall into the box 30; repeat the above packing of the reel layer group 20, so that multiple reel layer groups 20 are stacked layer by layer in the box 30, and the packing operation of multiple reels 10 is realized. The above structure is simple and reasonable, and the reel 10 is transported in the form of a fork, which can better meet the transportation requirements of the reel layer group 20 and is easy to use.

[0067] In actual application, the fork assembly 310 can also be moved to the lower side of the reel layer group 20 to fork the reel 10 assembly. In this case, a corresponding avoidance groove for the movement of the fork assembly 310 needs to be set on the placement surface 211; in addition to the above structure, the handling device 300 can also include multiple adsorption components, which use vacuum adsorption to adsorb and grasp each reel 10 in the reel layer group 20, thereby achieving the acquisition of the reel layer group 20 to facilitate its subsequent handling. The specific settings can be made according to actual usage needs.

[0068] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , guard plates 330 are provided on both sides of the fork assembly 310. When the fork assembly 310 is inserted into the reel layer group 20 or moved to the lower side of the reel layer group 20, the guard plates 330 on both sides of the fork assembly 310 are respectively located on both sides of the reel layer group 20, thereby protecting the reel layer group 20 and preventing the reel layer group 20 from spreading out, which is beneficial to the subsequent packing and easy to use.

[0069] In some embodiments, the second motion mechanism 320 includes a moving seat 321, a first drive assembly 322, a second drive assembly 323, a third drive assembly 324 and a moving platform 325, the moving seat 321 is slidably connected to the frame 100, the fork assembly 310 is slidably connected to the moving seat 321, the first drive assembly 322 is arranged on the moving seat 321 and is driven and connected to the fork assembly 310, and is used to drive the fork assembly 310 to move up and down, the second drive assembly 323 is arranged on the frame 100 and is driven and connected to the moving seat 321, and is used to drive the moving seat 321 to move horizontally, the moving platform 325 is slidably connected to the frame 100 and is used to place the box 30, and the third drive assembly 324 is arranged on the frame 100 and is driven and connected to the moving platform 325, and is used to drive the moving platform 325 to move horizontally.

[0070] It is understandable that if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the movable seat 321 and the motion platform 325 are both connected to the frame 100 by sliding in the left-right direction, and the motion platform 325 is located below the movable seat 321. When in use, the second drive assembly 323 drives the movable seat 321 to move toward the disk handling device 200, and the fork assembly 310 forks the reel layer group 20. Then, the first drive assembly 322 drives the fork assembly 310 to move upward, driving the reel 10 assembly to be loaded and separated from the disk handling device 200. Subsequently, the second drive assembly 323 drives the movable seat 321 to move leftward and reset. At the same time, the third drive assembly 324 drives the motion platform 325 to move below the fork assembly 310. The first drive assembly 322 drives the fork assembly 310 to move upward, driving the reel 10 assembly to be loaded and separated from the disk handling device 200. The driving assembly 322 drives the fork assembly 310 to move down to the box 30 of the moving platform 325, so that the reel layer group 20 is located at the opening of the box 30 and the lower part of the reel layer group 20 enters the box 30, and then the third driving assembly 324 drives the moving platform 325 to move, so that the fork assembly 310 and the box 30 move relative to each other, and the reel layer group 20 is separated from the fork assembly 310 by using the opening edge of the box 30 and the reel layer group 20 falls into the box 30. The above structure is simple and reasonable, and is easy to use.

[0071] In actual application, the second motion mechanism 320 can also be a multi-axis manipulator to drive the fork assembly 310 to move, so as to transport and convey the reel layer group 20, which can be set accordingly according to actual use needs.

[0072] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for packing a reel comprises the following steps:

[0073] Placing the reels, arranging the plurality of reels 10 in an array according to a preset plane shape;

[0074] Arrange the reels so that the plurality of reels 10 move relatively close to each other, so that one rib 12 of each reel 10 can be inserted between two ribs 12 of an adjacent reel 10, so that the plurality of reels 10 are combined to form a reel layer group 20;

[0075] Packing: packing the reel layer group 20 obtained from the reel sorting step into a box 30;

[0076] Stack the reels, repeat the above steps of placing the reels, arranging the reels and packing the reels, so as to stack the multiple reel layer groups 20 layer by layer in the box 30.

[0077] According to the packing method of the reel of the embodiment of the present invention, refer to Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 The process of the reel arrangement step is shown, in which a plurality of reels 10 are combined to form a reel layer group 20 in the reel arrangement step. In the reel layer group 20, since the plurality of reels 10 are interlaced and interleaved, Fig. 9 and Fig.10The upper side ribs 12 of some reels 10 will be located on the upper side of the adjacent reel 10 and the edge of the ribs 12 will be close to the core 11 of the adjacent reel 10. The upper side ribs 12 of some reels 10 will be inserted between the two side ribs 12 of the adjacent reel 10 and the edge of the ribs 12 will also be close to the core 11 of the adjacent reel 10. The structural strength of the core 11 is better than that of the edge of the rib 12. Therefore, the structure of the core 11 and the structure of the rib 12 close to the core 11 are not easy to deform. Fig.10 Taking the left and right reels 10 in the figure as an example, the reel 10 on the right side can use the part of the reel 10 on the left side close to the core 11 to form a support for the edge part of its upper side rib 12, and the edge part of the upper side rib of the left reel 10 is close to the core 11 of the right reel 10. The structure there can be used to shield and protect the edge part of the upper side rib of the left reel 10, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of deformation of the edge part of the rib 12. Moreover, the multiple reels 10 in the reel layer group 20 are staggered with each other and have a compact structure. When the multiple reel layer groups 20 are stacked layer by layer in the box 30, the space inside the box can be fully utilized to increase the number of reels 10 that can be loaded in the box, which is beneficial to improve the space utilization rate of the packing.

[0078] It is understandable that the above-mentioned reel packing method can be performed using the reel packing equipment of the first aspect of the present invention, or it can be performed manually or with other equipment that can achieve this packing method.
