[0026] The present invention provides a structure of a packaging workstation for a server as follows: Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, it includes a case packing machine 1, which is used for conveying cartons and foams. A loading clamping machine 3 is arranged on one side of the case packing machine 1, and the loading clamping machine 3 is used for feeding the server. A manipulator 4 is placed on one side of the loading clamping machine 3, and a clamping mechanism 5 is installed on the surface of the manipulator 4. The clamping mechanism 5 is used to clamp the server on the surface of the loading clamping machine 3 and place it into the carton and foam on the surface of the case packing machine 1 to realize the case packing work; a marking machine 2 is arranged on the side of the case packing machine 1 away from the loading clamping machine 3, and the marking machine 2 is used for marking the cartons after the server is packed.

[0027] When the server is packed, the carton with foam is transported to the packing position by the packing machine 1, and then the robot 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to clamp the server transported by the loading clamping machine 3 and place it in the foam of the carton on the surface of the packing machine 1, and finally the carton is marked by the marking machine 2.

[0028] Furthermore, if Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the cartoning machine 1 includes a frame 11, a conveying and clamping mechanism 12, a guide rod 13, an in-position sensor 14 and a foam pressing cylinder 15. The conveying and clamping mechanism 12 for conveying and clamping cartons and foam is installed on the surface of the frame 11. The conveying and clamping mechanism 12 includes a conveying line assembly and a centering clamping assembly. An in-position sensor 14 is installed on the surface of the frame 11 and below the conveying and clamping mechanism 12. The in-position sensor 14 is used for positioning the cartons and foam at the packing position. Guide rods 13 are installed on the surface of the frame 11 and on both sides of the conveying and clamping mechanism 12. The guide rods 13 are used for guiding the opening when the cartons are placed; foam pressing cylinders 15 are installed at both ends of the surface of the cartoning machine 1, and the foam pressing cylinders 15 are used for pressing down the foam.

[0029] During implementation, the carton with foam is manually placed on the surface of the conveying and clamping mechanism 12. After placement, the conveying line component of the conveying and clamping mechanism 12 drives the carton to be conveyed under the action of the guide rod 13. During transportation, the in-position sensor 14 is used to position it to the packing position, and then the centering clamping component of the conveying and clamping mechanism 12 clamps the carton; then the foam CCD camera 10 is used to detect the positive and negative conditions of the foam inside the carton. If the detection is unqualified, the conveying and clamping mechanism 12 drives the carton to withdraw. If it is qualified, the foam is pressed down by the foam pressing cylinder 15.

[0030] Furthermore, if Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, the loading and clamping machine 3 includes a loading conveyor line 31 and a cylinder centering clamp 32. The loading conveyor line 31 is used for conveying the server. The surface of the loading conveyor line 31 is installed with a cylinder centering clamp 32, which is used for centering and clamping the server.

[0031] During implementation, the server is fed through the feeding conveyor line 31 , and after feeding, the server is clamped in the center by the cylinder centering clamp 32 , and then the manipulator 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to clamp the server on the surface of the feeding conveyor line 31 .

[0032] Furthermore, if Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the clamping mechanism 5 is composed of a carrier 6, a clamping claw holding component 7, a pressing component 8, an extrusion component 9 and a foam CCD camera 10. The carrier 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the manipulator 4, and the front and rear sides of the carrier 6 are both equipped with clamping claw holding components 7 for clamping the server, the left and right sides of the carrier 6 are both fixed with pressing components 8 for pressing down the server, the four corners of the carrier 6 are all equipped with extrusion components 9 for squeezing the server, and the center of the surface of the carrier 6 is fixed with a foam CCD camera 10 for foam detection.

[0033] Specifically, the clamping jaw clamping assembly 7 is composed of an electric cylinder 71 and a clamping jaw 72. The electric cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the surface of the carrier 6, and a clamping jaw 72 with a groove is installed at the output end of the electric cylinder 71. The groove of the clamping jaw 72 can clamp the server; the pressing assembly 8 includes a pressing cylinder 81 and a spring pressure seat 82. The pressing cylinder 81 is installed on the surface of the carrier 6, and a spring pressure seat 82 is installed at the output end of the pressing cylinder 81. The spring pressure seat 82 is used to press down the server; the extrusion assembly 9 is composed of an extrusion cylinder 91 and an extrusion plate 92. The extrusion cylinder 91 is fixedly connected to the surface of the carrier 6, and a extrusion plate 92 is installed at the output end of the extrusion cylinder 91. The extrusion plate 92 is used to squeeze and tighten the server.

[0034] During implementation, the electric cylinder 71 in the clamping claw assembly 7 drives the clamping claw 72 to clamp the server, so that the server is located in the groove of the electric cylinder 71. At the same time, the extrusion cylinder 91 in the extrusion assembly 9 drives the extrusion plate 92 to squeeze and clamp the server. The double-structure clamping increases the safety of server transportation. After clamping, the manipulator 4 drives the server to move to the top of the foam, and then the clamping claw assembly 7 is relaxed. At this time, only the extrusion assembly 9 squeezes and clamps, and then the pressing cylinder 81 in the pressing assembly 8 drives the spring pressure seat 82 to slowly press the server down into the foam.

[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, the marking machine 2 includes a housing 21, a marker 22, a linear module 23 and a marking head 24. Two groups of markers 22 are fixed inside the housing 21, and two groups of linear modules 23 are installed inside the housing 21. The sliding end of the linear module 23 is fixed with the marking head 24, and the marking head 24 cooperates with the marker 22 to perform synchronous marking on two positions of the carton.

[0036] During implementation, the robot 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to reset, and the foam pressing cylinder 15 is reset again, and then the marking head 24 is driven to the marking position through the linear module 23, and the marking device 22 cooperates with the marking head 24 to mark two places of the carton. After marking, the clamping components of the conveying and clamping mechanism 12 are reset, and the packed server will be conveyed out.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, the carton with foam is transported to the packing position by the packing machine 1, and then the robot 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to clamp the server delivered by the feeding clamping machine 3 and put it into the foam of the carton on the surface of the packing machine 1, and finally the carton is marked by the marking machine 2.

[0038] During specific implementation, the carton with foam is manually placed on the surface of the conveying and clamping mechanism 12. After placement, the conveying line component of the conveying and clamping mechanism 12 drives the carton to be conveyed under the action of the guide rod 13. During transportation, the in-position sensor 14 is used to position it to the packing position, and then the centering clamping component of the conveying and clamping mechanism 12 clamps the carton; then the foam CCD camera 10 is used to detect the positive and negative conditions of the foam inside the carton. If the detection is unqualified, the conveying and clamping mechanism 12 drives the carton to withdraw. If it is qualified, the foam is pressed down by the foam pressing cylinder 15.

[0039] Subsequently, the server is fed through the feeding conveyor line 31. After feeding, the server is clamped in the center by the cylinder centering claw 32. Then the manipulator 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to clamp the server on the surface of the feeding conveyor line 31. During clamping, the electric cylinder 71 in the clamping claw clamping assembly 7 drives the clamping claw 72 to clamp the server, so that the server is located in the groove of the electric cylinder 71. At the same time, the extrusion cylinder 91 in the extrusion assembly 9 drives the extrusion plate 92 to squeeze and clamp the server. The double-structure clamping increases the safety of server transportation. After clamping, the manipulator 4 drives the server to move above the foam, and then the clamping claw clamping assembly 7 is relaxed. At this time, only the extrusion assembly 9 is squeezed and clamped. Then, the spring pressure seat 82 is driven by the pressing cylinder 81 in the pressing assembly 8 to slowly press the server down into the foam.

[0040] Finally, the robot 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to reset, and the foam pressing cylinder 15 is reset again. Then, the linear module 23 drives the marking head 24 to the marking position, and the marking device 22 cooperates with the marking head 24 to mark two places of the carton. After marking, the clamping components of the conveying and clamping mechanism 12 are reset, and the packed server will be transported out.
