Whether it is carbonated beverages, fruit juice beverages, tea beverages, or emerging functional beverages, etc., the market scale is constantly expanding. In order to meet the large market demand, beverage production enterprises need to improve production efficiency and achieve automated production, thus giving rise to the demand for automatic beverage sub-tray packing box devices.

[0003] Some of the existing automatic beverage sub-tray packing box devices use a manipulator to clamp a single beverage, and then place the beverages on the tray one by one. And each time a beverage is placed, the placement position of the beverage needs to be adjusted, which affects the packing efficiency of the device. Moreover, the spacing between the slots on different trays is different. When the spacing between the slots on the tray changes, the running trajectory of the manipulator needs to be reset, and the operation is rather troublesome. The existing automatic beverage sub-tray packing box devices also usually adopt a clamping device with multiple matrix-type chucks to clamp multiple beverages at the same time. However, when using this kind of device, multiple beverages need to be stacked neatly in advance and then clamped and placed. And the spacing between the multiple chucks of this kind of clamping device cannot be adjusted. Therefore, it can only clamp the same kind of beverage. When it is necessary to clamp other beverages with different volumes, the chucks need to be replaced, resulting in poor universality of the device. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention: In the present invention, through the combined use of a transmission mechanism and a clamping mechanism, when the clamping mechanism moves to a specified position through the transmission mechanism, it can simultaneously clamp multiple beverages through the reciprocating lifting of the clamping assembly, and can control the spacing between the beverages by controlling the rising distance of the rotating barrel. This method can greatly improve the efficiency of beverage boxing, avoiding the low work efficiency and complex operation steps caused by clamping and placing beverages one by one. Moreover, the clamping mechanism is equipped with a rotatable turning plate.

Specific implementation mode

[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 to 16, the present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic beverage tray loading and boxing device, including a base 1, a beverage conveying device 4, a tray conveying mechanism 7 and a box body 6. One side of the bottom of the base 1 is connected to a box body moving mechanism 5 for pushing the box body 6 to move. The top of the base 1 is connected to a conveying mechanism 2 for circular movement. The top of the conveying mechanism 2 is connected to a plurality of clamping mechanisms 3, and the clamping mechanisms 3 are used to clamp a plurality of beverages and adjust the spacing between the beverages. It should be noted that: the beverage conveying device 4 is a prior art, which conveys beverages through a conveyor belt. The conveyed beverage bottles are relatively hard and will not deform when being squeezed. Moreover, the spacing of the top grooves of the beverage conveying device 4 is the diameter or width of the beverage, so that the squeezing between the beverages will not cause the position of the beverages to shift. The box body 6 is placed on one side of the tray conveying mechanism 7, which is convenient for the tray conveying mechanism 7 to place the tray 75 into the box body 6 and move the box body 6 to a designated position.

[0019] In this embodiment, as Figures 10 to 14 shown, the clamping mechanism 3 includes two rollers 32 cooperating with the conveying mechanism 2, a support plate 31 rotatably connected to the bottom of the rollers 32, a cylinder 33 connected to the bottom of the support plate 31, and a fixing plate 34 connected to the driving end of the cylinder 33. Two sprockets 35 are rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the fixing plate 34, and a chain 36 is connected to the outer wall of the sprockets 35. The bottom of the chain 36 is connected to a clamping assembly through a plurality of connecting blocks. It should be noted that: the conveying mechanism 2 drives the support plate 31 to move, so as to realize the conveying of beverages, and the stroke distance of the cylinder 33 is long enough.

[0020] The top end of one sprocket 35 passes through the fixing plate 34 and is connected to a first ratchet 38. The top of the first ratchet 38 is rotatably connected to a rotating barrel 39. A spiral groove 310 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating barrel 39. The bottom of the rotating barrel 39 is rotatably connected to a first pawl 327. The rotating shaft of the first pawl 327 is connected to a first spring 328, and the first pawl 327 cooperates with the first ratchet 38. It should be noted that: the elasticity of the first spring 328 facilitates the first pawl 327 to fit the first ratchet 38. Due to the cooperation of the first ratchet 38 and the first pawl 327, the first ratchet 38 and the sprocket 35 can only rotate in one direction. The spiral groove 310 is composed of a rotating groove and a vertical groove, and the vertical groove is located below the rotating groove.

[0021] One side of the bottom of the support plate 31 is connected to the fixed column 311, and one side of the bottom of the fixed column 311 is connected to the guide rod 312, and the guide rod 312 is matched with the spiral groove 310. It should be noted that: the cylinder 33 drives the fixed plate 34 and the rotating barrel 39 to descend. During the descent of the rotating barrel 39, due to the cooperation of the guide rod 312 and the spiral groove 310, the rotating barrel 39 can be driven to rotate. At this time, the first ratchet 38 is stationary. When the clamping assembly clamps the drink, the cylinder 33 drives the fixed plate 34 and the rotating barrel 39 to rise. During the rise of the rotating barrel 39, due to the cooperation of the guide rod 312 and the vertical groove, the rotating barrel 39 does not rotate. When the guide rod 312 is matched with the rotating groove, the rotating barrel 39 can rotate. At this time, the first ratchet 38 and the sprocket 35 rotate with the rotating barrel 39, so that the chain 36 moves. By controlling the rising height of the rotating barrel 39, the moving distance of the chain 36 can be controlled, so as to realize the control of the spacing between drinks, and the drinks will not collide with the drink conveying device 4 after rising.

[0022] A first telescopic member 331 is connected inside the hole on one side of the fixed plate 34. A second spring 332 is sleeved on the outer wall of the first telescopic member 331, and one end of the first telescopic member 331 is connected to the chain 36. It should be noted that: when the first pawl 327 is not in contact with the first ratchet 38, at this time, the chain 36 can be reset by the elastic force of the second spring 332. The length of the chain 36 is long enough so that the clamping assembly can translate a sufficient distance, and at the same time, the contraction length of the first telescopic member 331 matches the moving distance of the clamping assembly.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, one end of the first pawl 327 away from the first ratchet 38 is connected to the extension plate 329.

[0024] One side of the bottom of the base 1 is connected with a baffle 37, and the baffle 37 is located on the side away from the box body 6. It should be noted that: when the rotating barrel 39 descends, the rotating barrel 39 and the first pawl 327 will rotate in the direction away from the arm rod 330, so as to avoid the extension plate 329 squeezing the arm rod 330.

[0025] The top of the fixed plate 34 is rotatably connected to the arm rod 330. One end of the arm rod 330 is matched with the extension plate 329, and the other end of the arm rod 330 is matched with the baffle 37. It should be noted that: a return spring is connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft of the arm rod 330 to facilitate the return of the arm rod 330. When the arm rod 330 moves to the position of the baffle 37, the baffle 37 squeezes the arm rod 330, so that the arm rod 330 rotates, and then the arm rod 330 squeezes the extension plate 329 to make the first pawl 327 rotate and the first pawl 327 disengage from the first ratchet 38, which is convenient for the reset of the chain 36.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figures 10 to 16As shown in the figure, the clamping assembly includes a moving plate 313 connected to the bottom of the connecting block, turning plates 314 rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom of the moving plate 313, and arc-shaped gears 315 connected to one side of the turning plates 314. The two arc-shaped gears 315 are meshed and connected. It should be noted that: through the meshing of the two arc-shaped gears 315, the two turning plates 314 can be turned synchronously, and the turning directions of the two turning plates 314 are opposite.

[0027] A limiting plate 333 is connected to the inner side near the top of the turning plate 314. A hidden groove is provided on the side of the turning plate 314 close to the center. A plurality of elastic return components are connected to the groove body of the hidden groove. The elastic return components include a second telescopic member 316 connected to the groove body of the hidden groove, a third spring 317 sleeved on the second telescopic member 316, and a clamping block 318 connected to one side of the second telescopic member 316. The clamping blocks 318 on both sides are in contact with each other. It should be noted that: the limiting plate 333 can limit the turning direction of the turning plate 314, so that the turning plate 314 can only turn away from the moving plate 313. A third bevel edge is provided on one side of the bottom of the clamping block 318, which is convenient for the beverage to squeeze the clamping block 318 to make it contract. When the turning plate 314 descends with the moving plate 313, the clamping block 318 squeezes the beverage to make the clamping block 318 contract. Through the elastic force of the third spring 317, the top end of the beverage is clamped by the clamping block 318. Since no bevel edge is provided on the top of the clamping block 318, the beverage can be clamped and will not fall. Since a plurality of elastic return components are provided, when the clamping assembly clamps a plurality of beverages, it will not affect the already clamped beverages.

[0028] A third telescopic member 319 is connected to one side of the bottom of the moving plate 313. A fourth spring 320 is sleeved on the outer wall of the third telescopic member 319. A limiting post 321 is connected to one side of the third telescopic member 319. The limiting post 321 is slidably connected to the moving plate 313 on one side.

[0029] One side of the turning plate 314 away from the arc-shaped gear 315 is connected to a cam 322. The cam 322 is matched with the limiting post 321. An extension rod 323 is connected to one side of the cam 322. One end of the extension rod 323 away from the cam 322 is rotatably connected to a lifting rod 324. Two cross bars 325 are connected to the bottom of the lifting rod 324. The two cross bars 325 are matched with the support plate 31. It should be noted that: due to the height difference between the upper surface of the beverage conveying device 4 and the lower surface inside the box body 6, when clamping the beverage, the top cross bar 325 does not contact the support plate 31. When the beverage is placed in the box body 6, the top cross bar 325 contacts the support plate 31.

[0030] The top of the lifting rod 324 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 326, and one end of the sliding rod 326 is slidably connected to a rectangular groove provided on the side wall of the fixed plate 34. It should be noted that when the lifting rod 324 moves with the moving plate 313, the support plate 31 is always located between the two cross bars 325. The elastic force of the fourth spring 320 can cause the limiting column 321 to squeeze the cam 322, thereby restricting the rotation of the cam 322 and preventing the turning plate 314 from rotating due to the gravity of the beverage. The squeezing force of the limiting column 321 is large enough and will not cause the cam 322 and the turning plate 314 to rotate due to the gravity of the beverage. When the fixed plate 34 descends, it can drive the moving plate 313, the lifting rod 324, and the cross bar 325 to descend. When the top cross bar 325 squeezes the support plate 31, it can cause the moving plate 313 to descend while the lifting rod 324 remains stationary, thereby driving the cam 322 to rotate, and further causing the turning plate 314 to rotate, which can press the beverage downward and make the beverage more firmly embedded in the groove of the tray 75. When the lifting rod 324 rises to a certain height, the bottom cross bar 325 will squeeze the support plate 31, thereby causing the moving plate 313 to rise while the lifting rod 324 remains stationary, and further causing the cam 322 and the turning plate 314 to rotate, realizing the reset of the turning plate 314.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the transmission mechanism 2 includes a bracket 21 connected to the top of the base 1 and an annular track 25 connected to the top of the bracket 21. The inner wall and the outer wall of the annular track 25 are provided with grooves 26, and the groove bodies of the grooves 26 are matched with the rollers 32. It should be noted that: the cooperation of the groove 26 and the roller 32 enables the clamping mechanism 3 to move along the annular track 25 and restricts the position of the clamping mechanism 3.

[0032] Synchronous wheels 23 are rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the base 1. The outer wall of the synchronous wheel 23 is connected with a synchronous belt 24, and the outer wall of the synchronous belt 24 is connected with a plurality of synchronous blocks 27. One side of the synchronous block 27 is connected with the support plate 31. It should be noted that: a plurality of convex bodies are fixed on the outer wall of the synchronous wheel 23, and a plurality of concave grooves adapted to the convex bodies are provided on the inner wall of the synchronous belt 24, which improves the connection between the synchronous wheel 23 and the synchronous belt 24.

[0033] One side of the top of the bracket 21 is connected with a driving motor 22, and the driving end of the driving motor 22 is connected with the synchronous wheel 23. It should be noted that: by driving the driving motor 22 to drive one synchronous wheel 23 to rotate, the two synchronous wheels 23 can be synchronously rotated through the synchronous belt 24, and the support plate 31 can be driven to move through the synchronous belt 24.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figures 4 to 9As shown in the figure, the box body moving mechanism 5 includes a first rack 51 slidably connected to one side of the bottom of the base 1. A first inclined side 52 that cooperates with the air cylinder 33 is provided on one side of the first rack 51. One end of the first rack 51 away from the first inclined side 52 is connected to a fourth telescopic member 511. A fifth spring 512 is sleeved on the fourth telescopic member 511. One side of the fourth telescopic member 511 is connected to the base 1. It should be noted that: the elastic force of the fifth spring 512 can reset the first rack 51. A first limit block is fixed on the top of the first rack 51. A first limit sliding groove adapted to the first limit block is provided at the bottom of the base 1, which is used to improve the stability of the first rack 51 and limit the moving range of the first rack 51. When the air cylinder 33 moves to the position of the first rack 51 along with the support plate 31, the first rack 51 can be moved by squeezing the first inclined side 52.

The second pawl 56 cooperates with the second ratchet 54. A sixth spring 57 is connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft of the second pawl 56. It should be noted that: the elastic force of the sixth spring 57 makes the second pawl 56 fit the second ratchet 54.

[0036] The second gear 55 is meshed and connected with a second rack 58 on one side. One side of the second rack 58 is connected to a pushing component. It should be noted that: the cooperation of the second pawl 56 and the second ratchet 54 can keep the second rack 58 stationary when the first rack 51 is reset, that is, the second gear 55 remains stationary when the first gear 53 rotates. When the first rack 51 is squeezed by the air cylinder 33 to move, the second rack 58 can be moved through the cooperation of the first gear 53, the second gear 55, and the second pawl 56 and the second ratchet 54.

[0037] The pushing component includes a fixed block 516 connected to the bottom of the base 1. A plurality of limiting grooves 518 are provided on one side of the fixed block 516, and a guiding groove 517 is provided at the bottom of the fixed block 516. The groove body of the guiding groove 517 is matched with a cylindrical block 524. The top of the cylindrical block 524 is connected to a fifth telescopic member 522. A seventh spring 523 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fifth telescopic member 522. The top of the fifth telescopic member 522 is connected to a connecting rod 515. One side of the top of the connecting rod 515 is rotatably connected to a translation rod 59. One side of the bottom of the translation rod 59 is connected to a push plate 510. The translation rod 59 is slidably connected to the base 1. One side of the translation rod 59 is connected to a second rack 58. The bottom of the second rack 58 is connected to a sixth telescopic member 513. An eighth spring 514 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sixth telescopic member 513. One side of the sixth telescopic member 513 is connected to the base 1. It should be noted that: the guiding groove 517 is composed of a horizontal groove and a V-shaped groove, and the depth of the starting end of the horizontal groove is greater than the depth of the V-shaped groove, and the depth of the end of the horizontal groove is less than the depth of the V-shaped groove, which is convenient for the cylindrical block 524 to enter the V-shaped groove from the end of the horizontal groove, and is convenient for the cylindrical block 524 to enter the starting end of the horizontal groove from the V-shaped groove.

[0038] A circular groove is provided on one side of the connecting rod 515 close to the cylindrical block 524. The groove body of the circular groove is connected to a ninth spring 519. One side of the ninth spring 519 is connected to a cylindrical slider 520. One side of the cylindrical slider 520 is connected to a clamping block 521. A second inclined side is provided on the side of the clamping block 521 away from the translation rod 59. It should be noted that: the second inclined side is provided to enable the clamping block 521 to move unidirectionally only in the horizontal groove. During use, the first rack 51 is extruded by the air cylinder 33 to move the first rack 51, and thus, through the cooperation of the first gear 53, the second gear 55, and the second pawl 56 and the second ratchet 54, the second rack 58 and the translation rod 59 move, thereby driving the push plate 510 to move, realizing the movement of the box body 6. The movement distance of the box body 6 is the distance between the first row and the second row of beverages. The translation rod 59 drives the connecting rod 515, the clamping block 521, and the cylindrical block 524 to move, enabling the clamping block 521 to cooperate with the corresponding limiting groove 518, thereby preventing the translation rod 59 from resetting. When the cylindrical block 524 moves to the end of the horizontal groove, the cylindrical block 524 enters the V-shaped groove. At this time, the elastic force of the ninth spring 519 causes the translation rod 59 and the connecting rod 515 to reset, so that the cylindrical block 524 enters the horizontal groove.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the tray conveying mechanism 7 includes a placement rack 71 and a tray 75 connected to the bottom of the placement rack 71. The top of the placement rack 71 is connected to a first electric telescopic rod 72. The driving end of the first electric telescopic rod 72 is connected to a lifting plate 73. The bottom of the lifting plate 73 is connected to a second electric telescopic rod 74. The driving end of the second electric telescopic rod 74 is connected to a suction plate 76. A cylinder body is fixed at multiple top corners at the bottom of the suction plate 76. The suction plate 76 is provided with a suction cavity 77. The top of the suction plate 76 is connected to an air pump 78. The air pump 78 is connected to the suction cavity 77. The cavity of the suction cavity 77 is connected to the through hole of the cylinder body. It should be noted that: the first electric telescopic rod 72 drives the suction plate 76 to descend and contact the tray 75, then the air pump 78 makes the suction cavity 77 form a negative pressure, then the first electric telescopic rod 72 makes the tray 75 rise, and through the combined use of the first electric telescopic rod 72 and the second electric telescopic rod 74, the tray 75 is placed in the box body 6 and the box body 6 is moved to the designated area.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 16 shown, the usage method and advantages of the present invention are as follows: The working process of the automatic beverage tray packing and boxing equipment is as follows: S1. First, the beverage conveying device 4 conveys beverages. At the same time, the tray conveying mechanism 7 places the tray 75 in the box body 6 and moves the box body 6 to the designated area; S2. Then, the driving motor 22 drives the synchronous wheel 23 to rotate, so that the synchronous belt 24 moves along the established track, and then the support plate 31 can be driven to move. When the support plate 31 moves to the designated position, the synchronous belt 24 stops moving. Then, the cylinder 33 drives the fixed plate 34 and the rotating barrel 39 to descend, so that the clamping assembly squeezes the beverage. During the squeezing process, the corresponding clamping block 318 contracts, and the top end of the beverage is clamped by the clamping block 318 through the third spring 317. Then, the cylinder 33 drives the fixed plate 34 and the rotating barrel 39 to rise. During the rising process of the rotating barrel 39, due to the combined use of the guide rod 312 and the spiral groove 310, the rotating barrel 39 first rises to separate the beverage from the beverage conveying device 4, and then the rotating barrel 39 rises and rotates at the same time. At this time, the first ratchet wheel 38 and the sprocket 35 rotate with the rotating barrel 39, so that the chain 36 moves. By controlling the rising height of the rotating barrel 39, the moving distance of the chain 36 can be controlled, so as to realize the control of the spacing between beverages. According to the horizontal placement quantity of beverages, the lifting times of the fixed plate 34 are set; S3. After the clamping assembly clamps multiple drinks, the clamping mechanism 3 is driven by the synchronous belt 24 to move above the box body 6. During the movement, the air cylinder 33 squeezes the first rack 51 to make the first rack 51 move. Thus, through the cooperation of the first gear 53, the second gear 55, and the second pawl 56 and the second ratchet wheel 54, the second rack 58 and the translation rod 59 move, thereby driving the push plate 510 to move, realizing the movement of the box body 6. The translation rod 59 drives the connecting rod 515, the clamping block 521, and the cylindrical block 524 to move, making the clamping block 521 cooperate with the corresponding limiting groove 518, thereby preventing the translation rod 59 from resetting. Then, the fixing plate 34 is driven by the air cylinder 33 to descend. When the drink contacts the tray 75 in the box body 6, at this time, the cross bar 325 at the top squeezes the support plate 31, which can make the moving plate 313 descend while the lifting rod 324 remains stationary, thereby driving the cam 322 to rotate, and then making the turning plate 314 rotate, and being able to press multiple drinks downward simultaneously, making the drinks more firmly embedded in the groove body of the tray 75. When the lifting rod 324 rises to a certain height, the cross bar 325 at the bottom will squeeze the support plate 31, thereby making the moving plate 313 rise while the lifting rod 324 remains stationary, and then making the cam 322 and the turning plate 314 rotate, realizing the reset of the turning plate 314. During this process, another clamping mechanism 3 is located above the drink conveying device 4 and repeats the operation of clamping drinks in S2; S4. The clamping mechanism 3 is driven by the synchronous belt 24 to continue moving. During the movement, the tray 75 is placed in the box body 6 through the tray conveying mechanism 7, and the box body 6 is moved to the designated area. At the same time, the box body 6 filled with drinks is squeezed to other areas, and then other operations are carried out by the staff; S5. During the movement of the clamping mechanism 3, the baffle 37 squeezes the arm rod 330, thereby making the arm rod 330 rotate. Then, through the arm rod 330 squeezing the extension plate 329, the first pawl 327 rotates and the first pawl 327 disengages from the first ratchet wheel 38. Thus, the chain 36 is reset by the second spring 332. At this time, the synchronous belt 24 stops moving, and another clamping mechanism 3 performs the operation in S3; S6. When placing the drinks in the last row, at this time, the cylindrical block 524 moves into the V-shaped groove. After the clamping mechanism 3 moves to other positions, the translation rod 59 and the connecting rod 515 are reset by the elastic force of the ninth spring 519, thereby making the cylindrical block 524 enter the transverse groove.
