Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of beverage partition packing boxes, and particularly to an automatic beverage partition packing box device. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for beverages has become increasingly diversified and personalized, and the beverage industry has developed rapidly. 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 partition packing box devices.

[0003] Some of the existing automatic beverage partition packing box devices clamp single beverages through manipulators, and then place the beverages on the trays one by one. Moreover, when placing each beverage, it is necessary to adjust the placement position of the beverage, which affects the packing efficiency of the device. In addition, the distances between the grooves on different trays are different. When the distance between the grooves on the tray changes, it is necessary to reset the running track of the manipulator, and the operation is rather troublesome. The existing automatic beverage partition packing box devices also usually adopt clamping devices with multiple matrix-style chucks to clamp multiple beverages at the same time. However, when using this kind of device, it is necessary to stack multiple beverages neatly in advance and then clamp and place them. Moreover, the distance 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 versatility of the device. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] In the present invention, through the combined use of the transmission mechanism and the clamping mechanism, when the clamping mechanism moves to a specified position through the transmission mechanism, it can clamp multiple beverages simultaneously through the reciprocating lifting of the clamping assembly, and can control the spacing between beverages by controlling the rising distance of the rotating barrel. This method can greatly improve the beverage boxing efficiency, avoiding the low work efficiency and complex operation steps caused by clamping and placing beverages one by one. And this clamping mechanism is equipped with a rotatable turning plate. When the beverage is above the tray, the beverage can be pressed downward by the rotation of the turning plate, ensuring that the beverage is accurately embedded in the groove of the tray, making the beverage more firmly fixed on the tray, effectively avoiding the possible shaking and displacement problems during subsequent transportation or movement, providing a reliable guarantee for the safe transportation and storage of beverages, making the beverage boxing process efficient, accurate and stable, and greatly improving the quality and efficiency of the entire production process.

[0028] In the present invention, through the combined use of the clamping mechanism and the box moving mechanism, the box can be pushed to move before placing the beverage, and the moving distance of the box is exactly equal to the spacing required for the first row and the second row of beverages, avoiding the need to adjust the position of the clamping mechanism to place the beverage, eliminating the need to bother adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism, thus simplifying the operation steps of beverage boxing and being less prone to errors. With the automatic push of the box moving mechanism, the beverage placement can be completed in one go, making the boxing rhythm more compact and smooth, and significantly increasing the number of boxes that can be completed per unit time, thereby further improving the work efficiency of the entire beverage boxing production line. And when the box is full of beverages, the box moving mechanism can automatically reset and push the next box, ensuring that the entire beverage boxing work can continue, efficiently and orderly.

[0029] In the present invention, a plurality of clamping mechanisms are provided, enabling the clamping mechanisms to perform different operations simultaneously, achieving the simultaneous execution of two key steps: clamping the beverage and boxing the beverage, reducing the waiting time, thereby improving the overall working efficiency. Moreover, after the clamping mechanism places the beverage, it can reset the chain during the movement process, thereby resetting the clamping assembly, ensuring the fixed position of the clamped beverage and the placed beverage, avoiding the problem that the beverage is difficult to fit into the tray groove due to position deviation, and improving the quality and stability of beverage boxing.

[0047] 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 ordinary technical staff in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 16 , the present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic beverage palletizing and boxing device, including a base 1, a beverage conveying device 4, a pallet 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 transmission mechanism 2 for circular movement. The top of the transmission mechanism 2 is connected to a plurality of clamping mechanisms 3. The clamping mechanisms 3 are used for clamping a plurality of beverages and adjusting 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. And the spacing of the top slots 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 pallet conveying mechanism 7, which is convenient for the pallet conveying mechanism 7 to place the pallet 75 into the box body 6 and move the box body 6 to a designated position.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figures 10 to 14 shown, the clamping mechanism 3 includes two rollers 32 cooperating with the transmission 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. The top of the fixing plate 34 is rotatably connected to a sprocket 35 on both sides. The outer wall of the sprocket 35 is connected with a chain 36. The bottom of the chain 36 is connected to a clamping assembly through a plurality of connecting blocks. It should be noted that: the support plate 31 is driven by the transmission mechanism 2 to move, so as to realize the conveyance of beverages. The stroke distance of the cylinder 33 is long enough.

[0050] The top 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. The inner wall of the rotating barrel 39 is provided with a spiral groove 310. 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 with a first spring 328. The first pawl 327 cooperates with the first ratchet 38. It should be noted that: 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. The vertical groove is located below the rotating groove.

[0051] 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, the rotating barrel 39 does not rotate due to the cooperation of the guide rod 312 and the vertical groove. 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 the drinks, and the drinks will not collide with the drink conveying device 4 after rising.

[0052] 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 to enable the clamping assembly to translate a sufficient distance. At the same time, the contraction length of the first telescopic member 331 matches the moving distance of the clamping assembly.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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 lever 330, so as to prevent the extension plate 329 from squeezing the arm lever 330.

[0055] The top of the fixed plate 34 is rotatably connected to the arm lever 330. One end of the arm lever 330 is matched with the extension plate 329, and the other end of the arm lever 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 lever 330, which is convenient for the reset of the arm lever 330. When the arm lever 330 moves to the position of the baffle 37, the arm lever 330 is squeezed by the baffle 37, so that the arm lever 330 rotates, and then the extension plate 329 is squeezed by the arm lever 330 to make the first pawl 327 rotate and the first pawl 327 disengages from the first ratchet 38, which is convenient for the reset of the chain 36.

[0056] 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.

[0057] A limiting plate 333 is connected to the inner side of the top of the turning plate 314. A hidden groove is provided on the side of the turning plate 314 close to the center. The groove body of the hidden groove is connected with a plurality of resilient components. The resilient 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. 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 resilient components are provided, when the clamping assembly clamps a plurality of beverages, it will not affect the already clamped beverages.

[0058] 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.

[0059] One side of the turning plate 314 away from the arc-shaped gear 315 is connected with a cam 322. The cam 322 cooperates with the limiting post 321. An extension rod 323 is connected to one side of the cam 322. The 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 cooperate 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.

[0060] 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 fixing 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 press against 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 drink. The pressing force of the limiting column 321 is large enough to prevent the cam 322 and the turning plate 314 from rotating due to the gravity of the drink. When the fixing 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 presses against 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 drink downward and make the drink 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 press against 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.

[0061] 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.

[0062] 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. The outer wall of the synchronous belt 24 is connected with a plurality of synchronous blocks 27, and 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.

[0063] A driving motor 22 is connected to one side of the top of the bracket 21, and the driving end of the driving motor 22 is connected to 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.

[0064] 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 bevel edge 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 bevel edge 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 on 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 pressing the first bevel edge 52.

[0065] The first rack 51 is meshed and connected to a first gear 53 on one side. A second ratchet 54 is connected to the top of the first gear 53. The second ratchet 54 is rotatably connected to a second gear 55 at the top. A second pawl 56 is rotatably connected to one side of the bottom of the second gear 55. 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.

[0066] The second gear 55 is meshed and connected to 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: by the cooperation of the second pawl 56 and the second ratchet 54, the second rack 58 can be kept stationary when the first rack 51 is reset, that is, the second gear 55 is kept stationary when the first gear 53 rotates. When the first rack 51 is pushed 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.

[0067] 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 pushing 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 for the cylindrical block 524 to enter the starting end of the horizontal groove from the V-shaped groove.

[0068] A circular groove is provided on the 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 bevel edge is provided on the side of the clamping block 521 away from the translation rod 59. It should be noted that: the second bevel edge 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, so that 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 pushing plate 510 to move, realizing the movement of the box body 6. The moving 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, so that the clamping block 521 cooperates 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.

[0069] 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. Cylinders are 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 holes of the cylinders. 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.

[0070] 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 loading and boxing equipment is as follows:

[0071] 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;

[0072] S2. Then, the driving motor 22 drives the synchronous pulley 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 rotates while rising. 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 control the spacing between beverages. According to the horizontal placement quantity of beverages, the lifting times of the fixed plate 34 are set;

[0073] S3, after the clamping assembly clamps a plurality of drinks, the clamping mechanism 3 is driven to move to the top of the box body 6 through the synchronous belt 24. During the movement, the cylinder 33 squeezes the first rack 51 to move the first rack 51, so that the first gear 53, the second gear 55 and the second pawl 56 cooperate with the second ratchet 54 to move the second rack 58 and the translation rod 59, thereby driving the push plate 510 to move, and realizing the movement of the box body 6. The translation rod 59 drives the connecting rod 515, the block 521 and the cylindrical block 524 to move, so that the block 521 cooperates with the corresponding limit groove 518, thereby preventing the translation rod 59 from resetting, and then the cylinder 33 drives the fixing plate 34 to descend. When the drink contacts the tray in the box body 6, 75, at this time, the cross bar 325 at the top squeezes the support plate 31, so that the movable plate 313 can be lowered while the lifting rod 324 remains stationary, thereby driving the cam 322 to rotate, and then the flip plate 314 rotates, and multiple drinks can be pressed downward at the same time, so that the drinks are 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 squeezes the support plate 31, so that the movable plate 313 rises while the lifting rod 324 remains stationary, and then the cam 322 and the flip plate 314 rotate to achieve the reset of the flip plate 314. During this process, another clamping mechanism 3 is located above the beverage conveying device 4, and the beverage clamping operation in S2 is repeated;

[0074] S4, the clamping mechanism 3 is driven to continue to move by the synchronous belt 24. During the movement, the tray 75 is placed in the box 6 by the tray conveying mechanism 7, and the box 6 is moved to a designated area. At the same time, the box 6 filled with beverages is squeezed to other areas, and then other operations are performed by the staff;

[0075] S5, during the movement of the clamping mechanism 3, the arm 330 is squeezed by the baffle 37, so that the arm 330 rotates, and then the arm 330 squeezes the extension plate 329 to rotate the first pawl 327 and disengage the first pawl 327 from the first ratchet 38, so that the chain 36 is reset by the second spring 332. At this time, the synchronous belt 24 stops moving, and the other clamping mechanism 3 performs the operation of S3;

[0076] S6, when placing the last row of drinks, the cylindrical block 524 moves into the V-shaped groove. When the clamping mechanism 3 moves to other positions, the elastic force of the ninth spring 519 resets the translation rod 59 and the connecting rod 515, so that the cylindrical block 524 enters the transverse groove.

[0077] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
