DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] Example:

[0031] The present invention discloses an automatic packaging system for glove cartons with strapping tape, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, it includes a sorting module 1 and a strapping module 2, and a conveying platform 3 is arranged between the sorting module 1 and the strapping module 2; the sorting module 1 includes a first cargo platform 11 and a second cargo platform 12, and a transfer robot 13 is installed between the first cargo platform 11 and the second cargo platform 12, and the top of the conveying platform 3 is installed with a first limiting rail 31 and a second limiting rail 32 arranged in parallel, and a plurality of conveying rollers 33 are arranged between the first limiting rail 31 and the second limiting rail 32; the sorting module 1 places the packaging box to be strapped on the conveying platform 3 through the robot, and then the packaging box will be sent to the strapping module 2 through the conveying roller 33 to wait for wire wrapping and packaging.

[0032] like Figure 1-3As shown, to facilitate wire winding, the strapping module 2 includes a strapping platform 21 and a control box 22. The strapping platform 21 is located between the control box 22 and the conveyor platform 3. Several conveying rollers 211 and a wire routing platform 212 are installed on the top of the strapping platform 21. A wire feeder 213 that cooperates with the wire routing platform 212 is installed on the side wall of the strapping platform 21. A rotating mechanism 24 is installed on the top of the control box 22, and an electric actuator 23 is installed on the end of the control box 22 away from the strapping platform 21. The wire feeder 213 stores the baling wire, which passes through the wire feeder 213 to the wire routing platform 212. When the packaging box is conveyed below the wire routing platform 212, the wire routing platform 212 begins the wire winding and strapping process. In order to facilitate multi-directional packaging, this solution introduces a rotating mechanism 24, which can drive the packaging box to rotate. When the packaging box rotates to a predetermined angle, the electric actuator 23 sends the packaging box to the bottom of the wiring stand 212 again to complete the wiring packaging work.

[0033] In this solution, the transfer robot 13 first destackers the boxes that require wire wrapping and places them in designated locations. The transfer robot 13 then places the boxes on the conveyor platform 3 to await wire wrapping. Wrapped boxes then move in the opposite direction until the transfer robot 13 grabs and places them on the second platform 12.

[0034] In this solution, the first cargo platform 11 is used to place empty pallets 14. When the pallets 14 on the second cargo platform 12 are stacked, the pallets 14 on the second cargo platform 12 will be taken away, and then the empty pallets 14 on the first cargo platform 11 will be transferred to the second cargo platform 12, waiting for the placement of goods.

[0035] In order to facilitate the movement of the stomping plate 14, the first cargo platform 11 includes a first rail 111 and a second rail 112, and a plurality of rotating rollers 113 are installed between the first rail 111 and the second rail 112, and the stomping plate 14 is provided on the top of the rotating rollers 113; the second cargo platform 12 has the same structure as the first cargo platform 11.

[0036] In order to facilitate the temporary placement of packaging boxes waiting to be wound, the sorting module 1 also includes an intermediate platform 15, which is located between the transfer robot 13 and the conveyor platform 3. The intermediate platform 15 includes a limit frame 151, which is arranged around the stomp plate 14. The limit frame 151 includes a first arm 152 and a second arm 153. The first arm 152 and the second arm 153 are both equipped with a clamping mechanism 16. When in use, the clamping mechanism 16 clamps the empty stomp plate 14, then moves from the first cargo platform 11 to the second cargo platform 12, and places the empty stomp plate 14 on the second cargo platform 12. Then the limit frame 151 returns to the first cargo platform 11, waiting for the empty stomp plate 14 to be moved again.

[0037] To facilitate clamping the stomp plate 14, the clamping mechanism 16 includes a positioning plate 161, one end of which is connected to the end of the first arm 152 away from the second arm 153. A support plate 162 is provided at the bottom of the positioning plate 161. A clamping cylinder 163 is mounted on the end of the support plate 162 facing the positioning plate 161, and the telescopic end of the clamping cylinder 163 is positioned toward the stomp plate 14. When the telescopic end of the clamping cylinder 163 moves toward the stomp plate 14, the clamping mechanism 16 on the first arm 152 and the second arm 153 will secure the stomp plate 14, thereby facilitating the subsequent movement of the empty stomp plate 14.

[0038] To further secure the stomp plate 14, a first slide rail 164 and a second slide rail 165 are mounted on the top of the support plate 162. A power platform 166 is mounted on the top of each of the first and second slide rails 164, 165. A limit plate 167 is mounted on the end of the power platform 166 facing the positioning plate 161. During use, the power platform 166 on the first and second slide rails 164, 165 moves along the length of the first and second slide rails 164, 165, i.e., the power platform 166 moves toward the stomp plate 14. During this process, the limit plate 167 moves with the power platform 166 to clamp the stomp plate 14.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the clamping mechanism 16 to clamp the side of the stomping plate 14, we need to control the clamping cylinder 163 and the limit plate 167 in the clamping mechanism 16 to move up and down. To this end, the positioning plate 161 is installed with a first limit platform 168, a second limit platform 169 and a telescopic cylinder 1610 at one end away from the first arm 152. The telescopic cylinder 1610 is located between the first limit platform 168 and the second limit platform 169. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 1610 is connected to a lifting plate 1612. Limiting columns 1611 are slidably arranged in the first limit platform 168 and the second limit platform 169. The bottom of the limiting column 1611 is connected to the lifting plate 1612; a number of connecting columns 1613 are arranged between the lifting plate 1612 and the support plate 162. Since a plurality of connecting columns 1613 are provided between the lifting plate 1612 and the support plate 162 , when the telescopic cylinder 1610 drives the lifting plate 1612 to move up and down, the various components on the support plate 162 will also move up and down with the lifting plate 1612 .

[0040] In order to facilitate the movement of the limiting plate 167 , the limiting plate 167 includes a limiting groove, and the limiting groove is configured to cooperate with the connecting column 1613 .

[0041] In order to facilitate the movement of the empty pallet 14 on the first cargo platform 11 to the second cargo platform 12, the intermediate platform 15 includes an upper rail 154 and a lower rail 155. The upper rail 154 is parallel to the lower rail 155. The upper rail 154 is located between the first cargo platform 11 and the second cargo platform 12. The upper rail 154 is installed with a driving mechanism 156. The limit frame 151 is slidably connected to the lower rail 155. A support frame 17 is arranged between the first cargo platform 11 and the second cargo platform 12. The transfer robot 13 is located at the top of the support frame 17. The support frame 17 includes a transfer channel 171 that cooperates with the limit frame 151.

[0042] In order to facilitate the transfer robot 13 to position the packaging box, a 3D camera 18 is also installed on the side of the second cargo platform 12 away from the transfer robot 13, and a camera bracket 181 is installed between the 3D camera 18 and the second cargo platform 12.

[0043] like Figure 5-6 As shown, to ensure that the conveyor platform 3 can accurately deliver the packaging box to the strapping platform 21, a first detection sensor 34 is installed on the end of the first limit rail 31 facing the transfer robot 13. A telescopic cylinder 37 is installed on the end of the first limit rail 31 away from the transfer robot 13. A second detection sensor 35 is installed on the end of the second limit rail 32 away from the transfer robot 13. The telescopic cylinder 37 is arranged opposite the second detection sensor 35 and a push plate is installed on the end of the telescopic cylinder 37 facing the second detection sensor 35. The telescopic cylinder 37 is used to move the packaging box between designated points.

[0044] To facilitate accurate positioning of the packaging box on the conveyor platform 3, a detection camera 36 is mounted on top of the second limiting rail 32. The second detection sensor 35 is located between the detection camera 36 and the second limiting rail 32. A fixed arm is mounted between the detection camera 36 and the second limiting rail 32. The detection camera 36 can also detect whether the packaging box has been wrapped and packaged.

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, to facilitate multi-directional winding of the packaging box, the rotating mechanism 24 includes a connecting plate 241. A telescopic actuator 242 is mounted on the end of the connecting plate 241 facing the wiring platform 212. A drive motor 243 is mounted at the bottom of the telescopic actuator 242. A gripping platform 244 is mounted on the end of the drive motor 243 away from the telescopic actuator 242. Several vacuum suction cups 245 are mounted at the bottom of the gripping platform. The connecting plate 241 is used to fix the telescopic actuator 242, which is used to drive the gripping platform 244 to move up and down. The drive motor 243 drives the gripping platform 244 to rotate horizontally. The vacuum suction cups 245 are used to grip the packaging box.

[0046] Preferably, Figure 8 As shown, a limit assembly 38 is installed at one end of the conveyor platform 3 facing the strapping platform 21. The limit assembly 38 includes a lifting cylinder 381 and a limit baffle 382. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 381 is connected to the limit baffle 382, ​​and the lifting cylinder 381 drives the limit baffle 382 to move up and down. When the lifting cylinder 381 drives the limit baffle 382 to rise, the limit baffle 382 will block the packaging box from continuing to move due to inertia.

[0047] In order to facilitate the electric actuator 23 to adjust the position of the packaging box, a suction cup is installed at one end of the electric actuator 23 facing the wiring stand 212.

[0048] In summary, the advantages of this solution are as follows: First, this solution can split the manual packaging process into four parts: depalletizing module, conveying module, packaging module, and reversing module; in the depalletizing module, a transfer robot 13 and a 3D camera 18 are provided to realize depalletizing and handling of cartons, which has higher compatibility and accuracy for cartons of different sizes and different stacking types; the intermediate platform 15 and the limit frame 151 transport and transfer empty pallets, realizing the reuse of empty pallets. A detection module is provided on the conveyor platform 3 to realize the detection of the strapping quality; the strapping module 2 is provided with a lifting component and a traction component to meet the functional requirements of different packaging styles and strapping positions for cartons of different specifications, and has higher integration; and the equipped electronic control program realizes one-click parameter setting for cartons of different specifications, which is easy to operate and reduces the learning cost. Second, the entire process runs automatically, which greatly reduces the manpower input.

[0049] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. Various changes made by ordinary technicians in this field based on the above-mentioned concept without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
