Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cartoning equipment, and particularly relates to a blood bag cartoning machine and a cartoning system. Background Art

[0002] Generally, bagged blood needs secondary packaging. The secondary packaging can use plastic bags or paper boxes. Using a paper box to package blood bags is more convenient for the transfer and transportation of blood bags.

[0003] In the prior art, linear automatic packaging machines are widely used in the packaging and processing of daily necessities, cosmetics, drugs, food and other items. Structurally, a linear automatic packaging machine includes a linear moving mechanism. A plurality of processing stations are arranged in the moving direction of the linear moving mechanism. Operations such as carton forming, cartoning, and sealing can be carried out at these processing stations.

[0004] However, the existing linear automatic packaging machine has a large floor area in the horizontal direction and high requirements for the site. Moreover, there are many processing stations, and the start-stop times of the linear moving mechanism are numerous, resulting in low blood bag cartoning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. For this purpose, this application proposes a blood bag cartoning machine, which solves the technical problems that the linear cartoning machine in the prior art has a large floor area in the horizontal direction and low cartoning efficiency.

[0006] This application also proposes a cartoning system having the above-mentioned blood bag cartoning machine.

[0007] A blood bag cartoning machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of this application includes: a turntable, the turntable having a working surface, and a plurality of shaping components arranged along the circumferential direction of the turntable are provided on the working surface, and the shaping components are used to keep the paper box in a box shape; a first sealing mechanism, the first sealing mechanism is used to insert the tongue of the open side of the paper box into the interior of the paper box, and the first sealing mechanism is located on the side of the turntable close to the working surface and close to the rotation axis of the turntable; a bag-in-box mechanism, the bag-in-box mechanism is used to send the blood bag into the interior of the paper box, and the bag-in-box mechanism is arranged on the radial outer side of the turntable; a second sealing mechanism, the second sealing mechanism is used to insert the tongue of the open side of the other side of the paper box into the interior of the paper box, and the second sealing mechanism is arranged on the radial outer side of the turntable.

[0008] A blood bag cartoning machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0009] 1. This application sets up a turntable, and one or more shaping components can be arranged on the working surface of the turntable, enabling the shaping components to move along with the turntable. The shaping components are used to maintain the box shape of the paper box and move the paper box to different workstations, thereby ensuring that the blood bag can be smoothly loaded into the paper box.

[0010] 2. This application sets up a first box-sealing mechanism. The turntable rotates by a certain angle, causing the paper box on the shaping component to move to the first box-sealing mechanism. The first box-sealing mechanism can insert the tongue of the folded flap at one side opening of the paper box into the interior of the paper box. Moreover, the first box-sealing mechanism is arranged close to the central axis of the turntable, making the structure of the cartoning machine more compact, which is beneficial to reducing the floor area of the cartoning machine. Additionally, at the same workstation, the first box-sealing mechanism can complete the ear-folding operation and tongue-inserting operation, reducing the number of rotations of the turntable.

[0011] 3. This application sets up a box-loading mechanism. The box-loading mechanism is arranged on the radial outer side of the turntable. The box-loading mechanism can receive blood bags from the outside. The turntable rotates by a certain angle, causing the paper box on the shaping component to move to the first box-sealing mechanism, facilitating the box-loading mechanism to send the blood bags into the interior of the paper box.

[0012] 4. This application sets up a second box-sealing mechanism. The second box-sealing mechanism is arranged on the radial outer side of the turntable. Such an arrangement facilitates the second box-sealing mechanism to insert the tongue of the folded flap at the other side opening of the paper box into the interior of the paper box. Moreover, at the same workstation, the second box-sealing mechanism can complete the ear-folding operation and tongue-inserting operation, reducing the number of rotations of the turntable.

[0013] 5. This application sets up a first box-sealing mechanism, a box-loading mechanism, and a second box-sealing mechanism. When the turntable is horizontally arranged, only the box-loading mechanism and the second box-sealing mechanism need to be arranged on the outer side of the turntable, making the floor area of the cartoning machine in the horizontal direction small. Moreover, the processing workstations of the cartoning machine are not many, and the start-stop times of the turntable are less. Thus, the technical problems in the prior art that the linear cartoning machine has a large floor area in the horizontal direction and low cartoning efficiency are solved.

[0014] A blood bag cartoning machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of this application further includes a magazine and a box-sucking mechanism. The magazine and the box-sucking mechanism are distributed along the axial direction of the rotation axis of the turntable. The magazine is used to provide flat paper boxes to the box-sucking mechanism, and the box-sucking mechanism is used to move the paper boxes into the shaping component.

[0015] Advantageously, this application sets up a box-sucking mechanism and a magazine. The box-sucking mechanism can move upward close to the discharge port of the magazine to suck flat paper boxes, and move downward away from the magazine to transfer the paper boxes into the shaping component. The box-sucking mechanism and the shaping component cooperate to transform the paper box from a flat shape to a box shape, and the paper box does not need to be formed manually, improving the paper box forming efficiency.

[0016] In addition, the turntable is arranged horizontally, and the silo and the box sucking mechanism are distributed along the axial direction of the rotation axis of the turntable. Such an arrangement does not occupy the horizontal position, which is beneficial to reducing the floor area of the box loading machine.

[0017] A blood bag box loading machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the shaping assembly includes two shaping plates, the two shaping plates are arranged opposite to each other, a shaping cavity is formed between the two shaping plates, the shaping cavity is used for accommodating a box-shaped paper box, the box sucking mechanism has at least one suction cup and a first power member for driving at least one of the suction cups to move, and the suction cup can move through the shaping cavity to suck the paper box.

[0018] Advantageously, by arranging two shaping plates in the present application, the positions of the relative two sides of the paper box are restricted by the two shaping plates, and the paper box is restricted in the shaping cavity, so that the paper box maintains a box-shaped form, ensuring that the paper box will not return to its original flat state during the movement of the turntable. In addition, the shaping plate can be a vertical plate, and the structure of the vertical plate is simple, making the shaping assembly easy to manufacture and having a low manufacturing cost.

[0019] Moreover, in the present application, by arranging the suction cup and the first power member, the first power member drives the suction cup to move close to the silo. After the suction cup sucks the flat paper box, the suction cup moves close to the shaping cavity, and the flat paper box abuts against the shaping plate, so that the paper box gradually becomes a box-shaped form.

[0020] It should be noted that there can be multiple suction cups, and multiple suction cups are used to suck the paper box to avoid the problem that the paper box falls off due to insecure adsorption of the suction cup during the forming process of the paper box. In addition, the first power member can be a cylinder, which is not limited herein.

[0021] A blood bag box loading machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the box loading mechanism includes a material placing rack, a pushing rack movably arranged in the material placing rack, and a moving unit for driving the pushing rack to move.

[0022] Advantageously, in the present application, by arranging the material rack, the pushing rack and the moving unit, blood bags from the outside can be placed on the material placing rack. The structural form of the material placing rack can be a trough, and the trough can limit the blood bags. At the same time, the moving unit drives the pushing rack to move, and the pushing rack pushes the blood bags on the material placing rack into the paper box, eliminating the need for manual loading of the blood bags into the paper box and improving the blood bag box loading efficiency.

[0023] A blood bag box loading machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application further includes an abutting mechanism. The abutting mechanism includes a first fixing frame and an abutting plate arranged on the first fixing frame. On the working surface, the abutting plate is located on one side of the shaping assembly away from the box loading mechanism and the second box sealing mechanism, and the abutting plate is used to abut against the paper box to prevent the blood bag from slipping out of the paper box.

[0024] Advantageously, in the present application, by providing a first fixing frame and an abutting plate, the abutting plate is connected to the first fixing frame, such that the abutting plate rotates relative to the turntable. When the turntable rotates by a certain angle, the shaping assembly passes by the abutting plate, and the abutting plate can abut against the seal of the paper box, preventing the blood bag from slipping out of the inside of the paper box when the blood bag is loaded into the paper box, and reducing the defective loading of the blood bag into the box.

[0025] In addition, the abutting plate is located on the side of the shaping assembly away from the box loading mechanism and the second box sealing mechanism. In this way, when the box loading mechanism feeds the blood bag into the paper box, the abutting plate can abut against one side seal of the paper box, and when the second box sealing mechanism inserts the tongue of the paper box into the inside of the paper box, the abutting plate can abut against one side seal of the paper box, preventing the blood bag from slipping out of the inside of the paper box due to the operation of the box loading mechanism and the second box sealing mechanism.

[0026] A blood bag box loading machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application further includes a rejection mechanism. The rejection mechanism is arranged on the radial outer side of the turntable. The rejection mechanism includes a detection assembly and a removal assembly. After the second box sealing mechanism inserts the tongue into the inside of the paper box, the detection assembly can detect the sealing state of the paper box on the shaping assembly, and the removal assembly can remove the paper box with a failed seal from the shaping assembly.

[0027] Advantageously, after the second box sealing mechanism inserts the tongue into the inside of the paper box, the turntable moves the paper box to the position corresponding to the rejection mechanism, and the detection assembly is used to detect the sealing state of the paper box on the shaping assembly. If the paper box fails to be sealed, the removal assembly is used to remove the paper box with a failed seal from the shaping assembly. Thus, the paper boxes with failed seals can be automatically rejected, preventing defective products from flowing into the next process.

[0028] A blood bag box loading machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application is provided with a first limiting plate on the side of the shaping assembly away from the turntable. The first limiting plate is arranged between the first box sealing mechanism, the box loading mechanism and the second box sealing mechanism, and the first limiting plate and the shaping assembly cooperate to limit the position of the paper box.

[0029] Advantageously, in the present application, by providing the first limiting plate, the first limiting plate rotates relative to the turntable, and when the paper box passes through the first box sealing mechanism, the box loading mechanism and the second box sealing mechanism, the first limiting plate can limit the position of the paper box, preventing the paper box from detaching from the shaping assembly due to the operation of the first box sealing mechanism, the box loading mechanism and the second box sealing mechanism.

[0030] A blood bag box loading machine according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application further includes a discharging mechanism. The discharging mechanism is arranged on the radial outer side of the turntable, and the discharging mechanism is used to take out the paper box from the inside of the shaping assembly.

[0031] Advantageously, in the present application, by providing a discharging mechanism, the discharging mechanism can take out the sealed paper box from inside the shaping component, and convey the paper box to the next process, eliminating the need for manual removal of the paper box from the shaping component and improving the automation level of the equipment.

[0032] A cartoning system according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present application includes a blood bag cartoning machine as described in any one of the above.

[0033] A cartoning system according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0034] In the present application, by providing a blood bag cartoning machine, the blood bag cartoning machine solves the technical problems of large floor area in the horizontal direction and low cartoning efficiency in the prior art of linear cartoning machines.

[0035] A cartoning system according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present application includes a labeling device and a sorting device. The blood bag cartoning machine is arranged between the labeling device and the sorting device. The labeling device can identify blood information, output corresponding labels and stick them to the surface of the blood bag, and at the same time provide the blood bag cartoning machine with blood bags. The sorting device can sort the paper boxes containing blood bags into the warehouse according to preset rules.

[0036] Advantageously, the blood bag passes through the labeling device. The labeling device can identify the original barcode of the blood bag, obtain the blood information inside the blood bag, then print a label according to this information and stick it to the surface of the blood bag. Next, the blood bag is conveyed to the box loading mechanism of the blood bag cartoning machine, and the blood bag cartoning machine performs the box loading operation on the blood bag.

[0037] Then, the paper box containing the blood bag is conveyed to the tape sealing and labeling device and the laser device. The tape sealing and labeling device and the laser device are located between the blood bag cartoning machine and the sorting device. The tape sealing and labeling device can adopt one of a tape sealing mechanism, a glue spraying mechanism or a hot melt adhesive sealing mechanism. In this embodiment, the tape sealing and labeling device adopts a tape sealing mechanism. The tape sealing mechanism sucks the tape on the sealing machine by a vacuum chuck and moves it to the paper box, and then flattens the tape through a flattening mechanism to tightly seal the opening of the box. The laser device burns the surface of the paper box and lasers the blood information (blood type, blood group, volume) on the side of the blood box.

[0038] Then, the sorting device sorts the paper boxes containing blood bags into the warehouse according to preset rules, that is, the same blood group is loaded into the same blood basket. Finally, the whole basket is stored in the cold storage.

[0053] Refer to Figure 1 , the present application aims to provide an embodiment of a blood bag cartoning machine and a cartoning system.

[0054] A blood bag cartoning machine according to an embodiment of the present application includes a turntable 100. The turntable 100 has a working surface, and a number of shaping components 110 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the turntable 100 on the working surface. The shaping components 110 are used to keep the paper box in a box shape.

[0055] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by providing the turntable 100, one or more shaping components 110 can be arranged on the working surface of the turntable 100, so that the shaping components 110 can move along with the turntable 100, and the paper box can be maintained in a box shape by using the shaping components 110 and moved to different workstations, thereby ensuring that the blood bag can be smoothly loaded into the paper box.

[0056] In this embodiment, the turntable 100 can be horizontally arranged, that is, the rotation axis of the turntable 100 is consistent with the vertical direction. In some other embodiments, the turntable 100 can also be vertically arranged, that is, the rotation axis of the turntable 100 is consistent with the horizontal direction.

[0057] In addition, the turntable 100 can be driven by a cam divider, and the driving method of the turntable 100 is not specifically limited herein.

[0058] A blood bag cartoning machine 340 according to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , further includes a magazine 240 and a box sucking mechanism 120. The magazine 240 and the box sucking mechanism 120 are distributed along the axial direction of the rotation axis of the turntable 100. The magazine 240 is used to provide flat paper boxes to the box sucking mechanism 120, and the box sucking mechanism 120 is used to move the paper boxes into the shaping assembly 110.

[0059] Specifically, when the turntable 100 of this embodiment is horizontally arranged, the box sucking mechanism 120 is located below the shaping assembly 110, and the box sucking mechanism 120 can move up and down.

[0060] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by setting the box sucking mechanism 120 and the magazine 240, the box sucking mechanism 120 can move upward close to the discharge port of the magazine 240 to suck flat paper boxes, and the box sucking mechanism 120 moves downward away from the magazine 240 to transfer the paper boxes into the shaping assembly 11O. The box sucking mechanism 120 and the shaping assembly 110 cooperate to change the paper boxes from a flat shape to a box shape, and the paper boxes do not need to be manually formed, improving the box forming efficiency.

[0061] In addition, when the turntable 100 is horizontally arranged and the magazine 240 and the box sucking mechanism 120 are distributed along the axial direction of the rotation axis of the turntable 100, such an arrangement does not occupy the horizontal position, which is beneficial to reducing the floor area of the cartoning machine.

[0062] In a further embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the shaping assembly 110 includes two shaping plates 160. The two shaping plates 160 are arranged opposite to each other, and a shaping cavity 170 is formed between the two shaping plates 160. The shaping cavity 170 is used to accommodate box-shaped paper boxes. The box sucking mechanism 120 has at least one suction cup 280 and a first power member 290 that drives at least one suction cup 280 to move. The suction cup 280 can move through the shaping cavity 170 to suck the paper boxes.

[0063] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by providing two shaping plates 160, the positions of opposite sides of the paper box are restricted by the two shaping plates 160. The paper box is restricted within the shaping cavity 170, enabling the paper box to maintain its box-shaped form and ensuring that the paper box does not return to its original flat state during the movement of the turntable 100. Additionally, the shaping plate 160 can be a vertical plate, and the structure of the vertical plate is simple, making the shaping component 110 easy to manufacture and having a low manufacturing cost.

[0064] Moreover, in this application, by providing a suction cup 280 and a first power member 290, the first power member 290 drives the suction cup 280 to move closer to the magazine 240. After the suction cup 280 sucks the flat paper box, the suction cup 280 moves closer to the shaping cavity 170, and the flat paper box abuts against the shaping plate 160, causing the paper box to gradually become box-shaped.

[0065] It should be noted that there can be multiple suction cups 280. Using multiple suction cups 280 to suck the paper box can avoid the problem of the paper box falling off due to insecure adsorption by the suction cup 280 during the paper box forming process. Additionally, the first power member 290 can be a cylinder, which is not limited herein.

[0066] In some specific embodiments of this application, the magazine 240 has at least one bin 250, and at least one bin 250 accommodates stacked flat paper boxes.

[0067] It can be understood that in this embodiment, there can be multiple bins 250. The multiple bins 250 are arranged in a circular pattern, and a rotating mechanism can be used to drive the multiple bins 250 to rotate, enabling each bin 250 to provide a flat paper box to the box suction mechanism 120. Moreover, different types of paper boxes can be placed in the multiple bins 250, corresponding to loading blood bags of different blood types. During the process of packaging blood bags, according to the blood type of the blood bag to be packaged, the bin 250 corresponding to the paper box of the corresponding blood type is controlled to rotate above the shaping component, facilitating the box suction mechanism to suck the corresponding type of paper box.

[0068] In addition, in some other embodiments, the multiple bins 250 can also be arranged in a straight-line side-by-side pattern, and a linear movement mechanism can be used to drive the multiple bins 250 to move horizontally, enabling each bin 250 to provide a flat paper box to the box suction mechanism 120. Moreover, different types of paper boxes can be placed in the multiple bins 250, corresponding to loading blood bags of different blood types. During the process of packaging blood bags, according to the blood type of the blood bag to be packaged, the bin 250 corresponding to the paper box of the corresponding blood type is controlled to rotate above the shaping component, facilitating the box suction mechanism to suck the corresponding type of paper box.

[0069] A blood bag cartoning machine 340 according to an embodiment of the present application further includes a first carton closing mechanism 130. The first carton closing mechanism 130 is used to insert the tongue of the open side of the carton into the interior of the carton. The first carton closing mechanism 130 is located on the side of the turntable 100 close to the working surface and is arranged close to the rotation axis of the turntable 100.

[0070] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by setting the first carton closing mechanism 130, the turntable 100 rotates by a certain angle, so that the carton on the shaping component 110 moves to the first carton closing mechanism 130. The first carton closing mechanism 130 can insert the tongue of the open side of the carton into the interior of the carton. Moreover, the first carton closing mechanism 130 is arranged close to the central axis of the turntable 100, making the structure of the cartoning machine more compact, which is beneficial to reducing the floor area of the cartoning machine. In addition, on the same station, the first carton closing mechanism 130 can complete the ear folding operation and the tongue inserting operation, reducing the number of rotations of the turntable 100.

[0071] A blood bag cartoning machine 340 according to an embodiment of the present application further includes a bag feeding mechanism 140. The bag feeding mechanism 140 is used to feed the blood bag into the interior of the carton. The bag feeding mechanism 140 is arranged on the radial outer side of the turntable 100.

[0072] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by setting the bag feeding mechanism 140 on the radial outer side of the turntable 100, the bag feeding mechanism 140 can receive the blood bags from the outside. The turntable 100 rotates by a certain angle, so that the carton on the shaping component 110 moves to the first carton closing mechanism 130, facilitating the bag feeding mechanism 140 to feed the blood bag into the interior of the carton.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 2 , the bag feeding mechanism 140 includes a material placing rack 180, a pushing rack 190 movably arranged in the material placing rack 180, and a moving unit 200 for driving the pushing rack 190 to move. Blood bags are placed on the material placing rack 180, and the pushing rack 190 is used to push the blood bags from the material placing rack 180 into the interior of the carton.

[0074] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by setting the material rack 180, the pushing rack 190 and the moving unit 200, the blood bags from the outside can be placed on the material rack 180. The structure of the material rack 180 can be a trough, and the trough can limit the blood bags. At the same time, the moving unit 200 drives the pushing rack 190 to move, and the pushing rack 190 pushes the blood bags on the material rack 180 into the interior of the carton, eliminating the need for manual loading of the blood bags into the carton and improving the blood bag cartoning efficiency.

[0075] It should be noted that the moving unit 200 can be a linear motor module, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0076] A blood bag cartoning machine 340 according to an embodiment of the present application further includes a second carton sealing mechanism 150. The second carton sealing mechanism 150 is used to insert the tongue of the other opening of the carton into the interior of the carton, and the second carton sealing mechanism 150 is arranged on the radially outer side of the turntable 100.

[0077] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by arranging the second carton sealing mechanism 150 on the radially outer side of the turntable 100, such an arrangement facilitates the second carton sealing mechanism 150 to insert the tongue of the other opening of the carton into the interior of the carton. Moreover, on the same station, the second carton sealing mechanism 150 can complete the ear folding operation and the tongue inserting operation, reducing the number of rotations of the turntable 100.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, it further includes an abutting mechanism. The abutting mechanism includes a first fixing frame 210 and an abutting plate 220 arranged on the first fixing frame 210. On the working surface, the abutting plate 220 is located on the side of the shaping assembly 110 away from the carton loading mechanism 140 and the second carton sealing mechanism 150, and the abutting plate 220 is used to abut against the carton to prevent the blood bag from slipping out of the interior of the carton.

[0079] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by arranging the first fixing frame 210 and the abutting plate 220, and connecting the abutting plate 220 to the first fixing frame 210, the abutting plate 220 rotates relative to the turntable 100. When the turntable 100 rotates a certain angle to make the shaping assembly 110 pass by the abutting plate 220, the abutting plate 220 can abut against the seal of the carton, preventing the blood bag from slipping out of the interior of the carton when the blood bag is loaded into the carton and reducing the defective rate of blood bag cartoning.

[0080] Specifically, the abutting plate 220 is located on the side of the shaping assembly 110 away from the carton loading mechanism 140 and the second carton sealing mechanism 150. In this way, when the carton loading mechanism 140 feeds the blood bag into the carton, the abutting plate 220 can abut against one side seal of the carton, and when the second carton sealing mechanism 150 inserts the tongue of the carton into the interior of the carton, the abutting plate 220 can abut against one side seal of the carton, preventing the blood bag from slipping out of the interior of the carton due to the operation of the carton loading mechanism 140 and the second carton sealing mechanism 150.

[0081] In a further embodiment of the present application, the abutting plate 220 extends in an arc centered on the rotation axis of the turntable 100.

[0082] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by making the abutting plate 220 extend in an arc centered on the rotation axis of the turntable 100, the abutting plate 220 is in an arc shape, that is to say, the abutting plate 220 extends along the moving track of the carton, avoiding damage to the carton by the abutting plate 220.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1, on the side of the shaping component 110 away from the turntable 100, a first limiting plate 230 is provided. The first limiting plate 230 is arranged between the first carton-sealing mechanism 130, the carton-inserting mechanism 140 and the second carton-sealing mechanism 150. The first limiting plate 230 and the shaping component 110 cooperate to limit the position of the carton.

[0084] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by setting the first limiting plate 230, the first limiting plate 230 rotates relative to the turntable 100. The first limiting plate 230 covers the shaping component 110 at the first carton-sealing mechanism 130, the carton-inserting mechanism 140 and the second carton-sealing mechanism 150. Moreover, the distance between the first limiting plate 230 and the turntable 100 is greater than the thickness of the carton. When the carton passes through the first carton-sealing mechanism 130, the carton-inserting mechanism 140 and the second carton-sealing mechanism 150, the first limiting plate 230 and the turntable 100 can limit two opposite sides of the carton, and at the same time, the shaping component 110 limits the other two opposite sides of the carton, avoiding the carton detaching from the shaping component 110 due to the operation of the first carton-sealing mechanism 130, the carton-inserting mechanism 140 and the second carton-sealing mechanism 150.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, it further includes a rejection mechanism 370. The rejection mechanism 370 is arranged on the radial outer side of the turntable 100. The rejection mechanism 370 includes a detection component and a taking-out component. After the second carton-sealing mechanism 150 inserts the tongue into the interior of the carton, the detection component can detect the carton-sealing state of the carton on the shaping component 110, and the taking-out component can take out the carton with failed carton-sealing from the shaping component 110.

[0086] It can be understood that after the second carton-sealing mechanism 150 inserts the tongue into the interior of the carton, the turntable moves the carton to the working position corresponding to the rejection mechanism 370, and uses the detection component to detect the carton-sealing state of the carton on the shaping component 110. If the carton-sealing fails, for example, the tongue of the carton is not inserted into the interior of the carton, the taking-out component is used to take out the carton with failed carton-sealing from the shaping component 110. Thus, it realizes the automatic rejection of the cartons with failed carton-sealing and avoids defective products from flowing into the next process.

[0087] Specifically, the detection component can be a photoelectric sensor, and the photoelectric sensor is used to detect the carton-sealing state of the carton on the shaping component 110. The detection light of the photoelectric sensor is set parallel to the plane where the tongue of the carton is inserted into the interior of the carton. When the tongue is not completely inserted into the interior of the carton, the detection light of the photoelectric sensor is blocked by the tongue, thereby detecting that the carton-sealing fails.

[0088] The taking-out component can be similar in structure to the discharging mechanism 260 described below, take out the defective cartons, and make the defective cartons fall into the recycling box.

[0089] A cartoning machine 340 according to an embodiment of the present application further includes a discharging mechanism 260. The discharging mechanism 260 is disposed radially outside the turntable 100 and is used to take out the paper box from inside the shaping assembly 110.

[0090] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by providing the discharging mechanism 260, the discharging mechanism 260 can take out the sealed paper box from inside the shaping assembly 110, and convey the paper box to the next process, without the need for manual extraction of the paper box from the shaping assembly 110, thereby improving the automation degree of the equipment.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 5 , the discharging mechanism 260 includes a translation frame 300, a hook 310 elastically disposed on the translation frame 300, and a second power member 320 for driving the translation frame 300 to move. The hook 310 can move into and out of the inside of the shaping assembly 110 to pull out the paper box. A second limiting plate 270 is disposed on a side of the shaping assembly 110 away from the hook 310.

[0092] Specifically, the translation frame 300 and the hook 310 are hinged, and are connected by a spring 330 between the translation frame 300 and the hook 310. The second power member 320 can be a cylinder. Therefore, when the hook 310 moves into the shaping assembly 110, under the action of the spring 330, the hook 310 elastically abuts against the side wall of the paper box, and the second limiting plate 270 is used to abut against the paper box to prevent the paper box from moving in a direction away from the hook 310, so as to ensure that the hook 310 can successfully take out the paper box.

[0093] In some other embodiments, the discharging mechanism 260 can also adopt a pusher. A pusher is disposed above the turntable 100, and the pusher is driven to move by a power member, and the pusher pushes the paper box out of the inside of the shaping assembly 110. The discharging mechanism 260 can also be a manipulator, and the manipulator is used to take out the paper box inside the shaping assembly 110. The discharging mechanism 260 can also adopt other forms to complete taking out the sealed paper box from the inside of the shaping assembly 110, which is not limited herein.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the box sucking mechanism 120, the first box sealing mechanism 130, the box inserting mechanism 140, the second box sealing mechanism 150 and the discharging mechanism 260 are arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the turntable 100.

[0095] It can be understood that the turntable 100 sequentially moves the paper boxes to the box sucking mechanism 120, the first box sealing mechanism 130, the box inserting mechanism 140, the second box sealing mechanism 150, the rejection mechanism 370 and the discharging mechanism 260. Such an arrangement of the processing sequence of the box sucking mechanism 120, the first box sealing mechanism 130, the box inserting mechanism 140, the second box sealing mechanism 150 and the discharging mechanism 260 is beneficial to reducing the defects generated when the blood bags are loaded into the paper boxes.

[0096] The present application also provides a box loading system, including the above-mentioned blood bag box loading machine 340.

[0097] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by providing the blood bag box loading machine 340, and the blood bag box loading machine 340 is provided with the first box sealing mechanism 130, the box inserting mechanism 140 and the second box sealing mechanism 150. In this way, the floor area of the box loading machine in the horizontal direction is small, and the number of processing stations of the box loading machine is not many, and the start-stop times of the turntable 100 are less. Thus, the technical problems in the prior art that the linear box loading machine has a large floor area in the horizontal direction and low box loading efficiency are solved.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 6 , a box loading system further includes a labeling device 350 and a sorting device 360. The blood bag box loading machine 340 is arranged between the labeling device 350 and the sorting device 360. The labeling device 350 can identify blood information, output corresponding labels and stick them on the surface of the blood bags, and at the same time provide the blood bags to the blood bag box loading machine 340. The sorting device 360 can sort the paper boxes containing the blood bags into the warehouse according to preset rules.

[0099] It can be understood that the blood bags pass through the labeling device 350. The labeling device 350 can identify the original barcodes of the blood bags, obtain the blood information inside the blood bags, then print labels according to this information and stick them on the surface of the blood bags. Then, the blood bags are conveyed to the box inserting mechanism 140 of the blood bag box loading machine 340, and the blood bag box loading machine 340 performs box loading operations on the blood bags.

[0100] Then, the paper boxes containing the blood bags are conveyed to the tape sealing device and the laser device. The tape sealing device and the laser device are located between the blood bag box loading machine 340 and the sorting device 360. The tape sealing device can adopt one of a tape sealing mechanism, a glue spraying mechanism or a hot melt adhesive sealing mechanism. In this embodiment, the tape sealing device adopts a tape sealing mechanism. The tape sealing mechanism sucks the tape on the sealing machine by a vacuum suction cup and moves it to the paper box, and then flattens the tape through a flattening mechanism to tightly seal the opening of the box. The laser device burns the surface of the paper box and lasers the blood information (blood type, blood group, volume) to the side of the blood box.

[0101] Next, the sorting device 360 sorts and stores the cartons containing blood bags according to a preset rule, that is, the same blood type is loaded into the same blood basket, and finally, the whole basket is stored in the cold storage.
