It can be understood that the foregoing solution can be used to improve the packaging efficiency of dental implants.

[0031] For this specific embodiment, the conveyor belt 103 is arranged on the frame 101, the transfer tray 104 is arranged on the conveyor belt 103, the blister box feeding member 105, the implant feeding member 106, and the dialysis paper feeding member 107 are all arranged on the frame 101 and are located on one side of the conveyor belt 103, and the heat sealing member 108 is arranged on the frame 101; the heat sealing member 108 includes an electric push rod 109 and a heat sealing plate 110. The electric push rod 109 is connected to the frame 101 and is arranged on the frame 101; the heat sealing plate 110 is arranged on the electric push rod 109 and is connected to the output end of the electric push rod 109; the conveyor belt 103 is composed of a sprocket and a chain. A plurality of transfer trays 104 are arranged and are connected to the chain on the conveyor belt 103. A plurality of placement grooves 120 for cooperating with the blister box are arranged on the transfer tray 104, so that the blister box can be stably placed on the transfer tray 104. The conveyor belt 103 is a prior art, and its specific structure and working principle will not be elaborated here. The blister box feeding member 105, the implant feeding member 106, the dialysis paper feeding member 107, and the heat sealing member 108 are sequentially distributed along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 103. The blister box feeding member 105 is used to place the packaging blister box in the placement groove 120 on the transfer tray 104, the implant feeding member 106 is used to place the implant in the blister box in place, and the dialysis paper feeding member 107 is used to cover the dialysis paper on the blister box;

[0032] During use, the conveyor belt 103 drives the transfer tray 104 to move. After the transfer tray 104 moves to the blister box loading member 105, the blister box is placed into the placement groove 120 on the transfer tray 104 by the blister box loading member 105. Then, the conveyor belt 103 continues to drive the transfer tray 104 loaded with the blister box to move. After the transfer tray 104 loaded with the blister box moves to the implant loading member 106, the implant loading member 106 places the implant inside the blister box; when the blister box loaded with the implant arrives at the dialysis paper loading member 107, the dialysis paper loading member 107 covers the opening of the blister box with the dialysis paper. Finally, the transfer tray 104 drives the semi-finished package to move below the heat sealing member 108; the heat sealing plate 110 is driven by the electric push rod 109 to press down, so that the dialysis paper and the edge of the blister box are melted and adhered to achieve sealed heat sealing; finally, the sealed product is conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt 103 for unloading, thereby realizing the automatic packaging of dental implants and achieving the purpose of improving the packaging efficiency and product quality.

[0033] Among them, the first robotic arm 111 is connected to the frame 101; the rotating member 114 is arranged on the frame 101; the rotating seat 112 is rotatably connected to the frame 101 through the rotating member 114, and the storage seat 113 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 112 and is located on one side of the rotating seat 112; the lifting member 115 is arranged on the frame 101; at least two storage seats 113 are provided. The dialysis papers are stacked inside the storage seats 113. The dialysis papers are lifted upward by the lifting member 115, so that the first robotic arm 111 can suck the dialysis paper on the top layer. After the first robotic arm 111 sucks the dialysis paper, the dialysis paper is placed at the opening of the blister box, thus completing the loading operation of the dialysis paper; when the dialysis papers inside one storage seat 113 are used up, the rotating member 114 drives the rotating seat 112 to rotate, and then drives the storage seat 113 to rotate, so that another storage seat 113 filled with dialysis papers rotates below the first robotic arm 111, which can quickly replenish the dialysis paper and avoid affecting the packaging efficiency due to replenishing the dialysis paper.

[0034] Secondly, the cylinder 116 is connected to the frame 101 and is disposed on the frame 101; the lifting rod 117 is disposed on the cylinder 116, is connected to the output end of the cylinder 116, and penetrates through the rotating seat 112; a through hole is disposed on one side of the rotating seat 112 close to the material storage seat 113 to cooperate with the lifting rod 117. The cylinder 116 drives the lifting rod 117 to rise, so that the lifting rod 117 passes through the through hole on the rotating seat 112 to drive the dialysis paper inside the material storage seat 113 to rise, thereby achieving the purpose of lifting the dialysis paper.

[0035] Meanwhile, the bracket 118 is connected to the frame 101 and is disposed on the frame 101; the reduction motor 119 is connected to the bracket 118, is located on one side of the bracket 118, and the output end of the reduction motor 119 is connected to the rotating seat 112; the reduction motor 119 drives the rotating seat 112 to rotate, and further enables the rotating seat 112 to drive the material storage seat 113 thereon to rotate, achieving the purpose of switching the material storage seat 113.

[0036] In addition, the structure and principle of the plastic box feeding member 105 are the same as those of the dialysis paper feeding member 107, and the only difference lies in the installation position. The feeding principle of the plastic box feeding member 105 will not be elaborated here.

[0037] Finally, the first robotic arm 111 includes a slide rail 121, a slider 122, a hydraulic cylinder 123, a mounting bracket 124, and a suction cup 125. The slide rail 121 is fixedly connected to the frame 101 and is disposed on the frame 101; the slider 122 is slidably connected to the slide rail 121; the hydraulic cylinder 123 is connected to the slider 122 and is located on one side of the slider 122; the mounting bracket 124 is disposed on the hydraulic cylinder 123 and is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 123; the suction cup 125 is connected to the mounting bracket 124 and is located on one side of the mounting bracket 124; a plurality of suction cups 125 are provided, and a negative pressure is formed on the suction cups 125 through a negative pressure device (not shown in the figure), so as to be able to suck the dialysis paper; after the suction cups 125 suck the dialysis paper, the slider 122 moves on the slide rail 121, so that the slider 122 drives the hydraulic cylinder 123, the mounting bracket 124, and the suction cups 125 to move, and further enables the suction cups 125 to move above the plastic box containing the implants. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 123 drives the suction cups 125 and the dialysis paper to descend and cover the opening of the plastic box, and the negative pressure device stops working, releasing the adsorption force of the suction cups 125 on the dialysis paper, so that the dialysis paper can be smoothly left on the opening of the plastic box.

[0038] When using the implant automatic packaging device of the present invention, the conveyor belt 103 drives the transfer tray 104 to move. When the transfer tray 104 moves to the blister box loading member 105, the blister box loading member 105 places the blister box into the placement groove 120 on the transfer tray 104. Then the transfer tray 104 continues to move to the implant loading member 106. At this time, the implant loading member 106 places the dental implant into the blister box. Finally, the dialysis paper loading member 107 covers the opening above the blister box with dialysis paper. When the blister box moves to the heat sealing member 108, the electric push rod 109 drives the heat sealing plate 110 to descend, thereby heat-sealing the blister box covered with dialysis paper, completing the packaging operation of the dental implant, and achieving the purpose of improving the packaging efficiency and product quality of the dental implant.
