Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to automated production technology and automatic production equipment, and specifically, to an automated case sealing and palletizing method. Background Art

[0002] In the current production process, some products need to be boxed first and then packed into cases. After automated case sealing at present, manual assistance is required for handling and storage. The manual efficiency is low, and after packing products of multiple specifications into cases with different model sizes respectively, when manually handling and storing, it is easy to cause confusion when the number of cases to be stored is large, resulting in warehouse chaos.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automated case sealing and palletizing method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an automated case sealing and palletizing method.

[0006] An automated case sealing and palletizing method, the steps include:

[0007] 1) Set up a case loading mechanism in cooperation with vision detection. The case loading mechanism includes a case conveying roller line. A set of case traveling outer positioning plates that are synchronously driven by a lead screw to open and close are arranged on the case conveying roller line. A set of case traveling outer positioning plates that are synchronously driven by a lead screw to open and close form a case running and conveying track. Above the case running and conveying track, there is a one-word case sealing and taping mechanism;

[0008] 2) A material stacking rack carrying several cases is docked with the case loading mechanism, and vision detection records the size and specification information of each case in sequence;

[0009] 3) Corresponding to the specification information of the current case, a set of case traveling outer positioning plates that are synchronously driven by a lead screw to open and close are opened and closed to a matching spacing. The case flows into the case running and conveying track, and the one-word case sealing and taping mechanism performs one-word sealing and taping of the case opening;

[0010] 4) Set up a case information inkjet coding station. The case information inkjet coding station includes a case information inkjet coding stacking table. Above the case information inkjet coding stacking table, there is a case lifting and rotating mechanism, and a coding mechanism is arranged on the side; After the case is one-word sealed and taped, it is grabbed and rotated by the case lifting and rotating mechanism until the area to be coded faces the coding mechanism, and the coding mechanism sprays the size and specification information of the case recorded by vision detection and the product information corresponding to the storage specification information on the area to be coded;

[0011] 5) For the packaged boxes after inkjet coding, perform the process step of pasting I-shaped corner tapes, paste the corner tapes, and then enter the palletizing storage conveyor line;

[0012] 6) There are several palletizing positions for packaged boxes on the palletizing storage conveyor line. The several palletizing positions for packaged boxes correspond to different specifications and models of packaged boxes respectively, and palletizing pallets are also correspondingly set;

[0013] 7) According to the size and specification information of the packaged boxes recorded through vision inspection, the palletizing storage conveyor line transports the current packaged box to the corresponding palletizing position for the packaged box, and the blocking member rises to block;

[0014] 8) The palletizing robot moves to the palletizing position for the packaged box where the blocking member has risen, palletizes the packaged box onto the corresponding palletizing pallet, and completes the automatic palletizing of one packaged box;

[0015] 9) Repeat steps 1)-8) until all the packaged boxes are palletized.

[0016] Furthermore, the material storage rack carrying several packaged boxes is transported by the AGV to the docking packaged box loading mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, the packaged box lifting and rotating mechanism includes a grasping head, and the grasping head is connected to an integrated rotation and lifting drive member.

[0018] Furthermore, in step 5), the positioning of the area to be inkjet coded is performed through vision inspection.

[0019] Furthermore, in step 5), by grasping and rotating the packaged box until the area to be inkjet coded faces the inkjet coding mechanism, the inkjet coding surface of the packaged box information during storage is positioned to face the side of the inkjet coding mechanism.

[0020] Furthermore, the blocking member is a baffle plate connected to a lifting cylinder.

[0021] Furthermore, when the baffle plate rises, the vision inspection triggers the palletizing robot to execute the palletizing program.

[0022] Furthermore, the palletizing pallet is loaded on the AGV. After a certain number of packaged boxes are palletized, the AGV transports them to the centralized storage area.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention classifies and feeds the packaged box specification information intelligently, sprays information, locks the orientation of the information surface of the packaged box during palletizing, and palletizes the corresponding palletizing pallets, ensuring the efficient, orderly and accurate progress of the packaged box storage process and reducing the occupation of human resources.
