[0031] When the single transfer capacity of the first product transfer device 6 is less than the capacity required by the second product transfer device b, the first product positioning slot mechanism 52 receives the first batch of products and transfers them to the second product positioning slot mechanism 53. After the second batch of products is stored in the first product positioning slot mechanism 52, the second product positioning slot mechanism 53 pushes the first product positioning slot mechanism 52 back in the opposite direction, ensuring that the number of products in the first product positioning slot mechanism 52 accurately matches the grabbing capacity and position of the second product transfer device 8.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, dynamic matching of the product quantity on the product cache device 5 and the transfer demand is achieved, effectively eliminating the transfer waiting time caused by quantity mismatch, and improving the overall operating efficiency of the card insertion packaging process.

[0033] In this embodiment, the product card insertion device 9 includes: Card rack 91; A third product positioning slot mechanism 92 is mounted on the card insertion rack 91. The third product positioning slot mechanism 92 includes a plurality of third product positioning slots 921 arranged in sequence along the Y-axis direction, for supporting and positioning a plurality of packaged toothbrushes b arranged in sequence along the Y-axis direction; The third product push plate mechanism 93 is provided above the third product positioning slot mechanism 92 and is movably connected to the card insertion rack 91 along the X-axis direction; The third push plate driving mechanism 94 is installed on the card insertion frame 91 and is used to drive the third product push plate mechanism 93 to move horizontally along the X-axis direction.

[0034] As described above, the card insertion frame 91 refers to the main frame structure that supports the various components of the product card insertion device 9. The third product positioning slot mechanism 92 is a structure comprising multiple, parallel grooves, each with an adjustable width that matches the packaging size of the packaged toothbrush b. The third product push plate mechanism 93 is a linear motion assembly with a push block. Its function is to push the positioned packaged toothbrushes b in batches into the slots of the card holder a through X-axis linear motion. The third push plate drive mechanism 94 is a power output device that provides precise translational drive force for the third product push plate mechanism 93.

[0035] Specifically, when the packaged toothbrush b is positioned after rotation, it is placed in the third product positioning slot mechanism 92. The multiple parallel third product positioning slots 921 can simultaneously accommodate multiple packaged toothbrushes b and constrain their positions along the Y-axis. Controlled by the third push-plate drive mechanism 94, the third product push-plate mechanism 93 moves along the positive X-axis direction, generating a thrust upon contact with the packaged toothbrush b, causing the multiple packaged toothbrushes b to be synchronously translated along the X-axis into the corresponding slots of the holder a.

[0036] The above technical solution utilizes the third product positioning slot arranged in a directional manner to eliminate the positional error caused by manual placement. This allows for the simultaneous and precise delivery of multiple packaged toothbrushes, significantly improving single-operation efficiency while ensuring card insertion accuracy, and meeting the tactile requirements of the automated production line for the card insertion process.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first product transfer device 6 includes: First support 61; A first revolution axis (not shown), extending along the Y-axis direction and rotatably connected to the first support 61; A first revolution shaft driving mechanism 62 is mounted on the first support 61 and drives the first revolution shaft to rotate; A first swing arm 63, one end of which is fixedly connected to the first revolution shaft; A first synchronous wheel 64, fixedly connected to the first revolving shaft; The rotation shaft 65 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first swing arm 63; A second synchronous wheel 66 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 65; A synchronous belt 67, which transmits and connects the first synchronous wheel 64 and the second synchronous wheel 66; A first product suction cup mechanism 68 is rotatably connected to the rotation shaft 65 and is used to suck the product into the packaged toothbrush b on the device 4; The telescopic driving mechanism 69 has one end rotatably connected to the above-mentioned rotating shaft 65, and the other end is connected to the above-mentioned first product suction cup mechanism 68, which is used to drive the above-mentioned first product suction cup mechanism 68 to rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0038] In the above description, the first revolving shaft drive mechanism 62 is a power device, specifically implemented as a servo motor in conjunction with a reducer. Its function is to provide the driving force for the first swing arm 63 to rotate about the Y-axis. The synchronous belt drive system, consisting of the first synchronous pulley 64, the second synchronous pulley 66, and the synchronous belt 67, converts the rotational motion of the first revolving shaft into reverse rotation of the self-rotating shaft 65. The telescopic drive mechanism 69 adjusts the vertical height of the first product suction cup mechanism 68 while maintaining its stable posture.

[0039] Specifically, when the first revolving shaft drive mechanism 62 drives the first revolving shaft to rotate, the first swing arm 63 performs an orbital motion centered on the Y-axis. The synchronous belt drive system, through the setting of the synchronous pulley diameter ratio, causes the rotating shaft 65 to rotate at a constant speed opposite to the direction of revolution, thereby offsetting the angular deviation of the first product suction cup mechanism 68 caused by the orbital motion. Driven by the rotating shaft 65, the first product suction cup mechanism 68 always maintains a predetermined gripping angle (downward), ensuring parallel contact with the surface of the packaged toothbrush b. The telescopic drive mechanism 69 activates when the first product suction cup mechanism 68 approaches the target position, precisely adjusting the height of the first product suction cup mechanism 68 through vertical lifting and lowering, thereby enabling the removal and placement of the packaged toothbrush b.

[0040] Through the above technical solution, the synchronous automatic adjustment of the grabbing angle and height during the transfer of the packaged toothbrush b is realized, and the first product suction cup mechanism 68 maintains a stable posture throughout the movement, effectively preventing the packaged toothbrush b from slipping; through the single-power design of a first revolving axis drive mechanism 62, the complexity of the equipment is reduced and the movement synchronization accuracy is improved; the independent control of the telescopic drive mechanism 69 enables the device to adapt to the operating requirements of workstations at different heights.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second product transfer device 8 includes: Second support 81; A second revolution shaft 82 extends along the Y-axis direction and is rotatably connected to the second support 81; A second revolution shaft driving mechanism 83 is mounted on the second support 81 and drives the second revolution shaft 82 to rotate; A second swing arm 84, one end of which is fixedly connected to the second revolution shaft 82; The second product suction cup mechanism 85 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second swing arm 84 and is used to suck the packaged toothbrush b on the product buffer device 5 .

[0042] In the above, the second support 81 refers to the support structure that supports the second revolving shaft 82 and the second revolving shaft drive mechanism 83, providing a stable foundation for the revolving motion. The second revolving shaft 82 refers to the rotation axis extending along the Y-axis. The second revolving shaft drive mechanism 83 refers to the power device that drives the shaft to rotate. The second swing arm 84 refers to the rigid arm connecting the second revolving shaft 82 and the second product suction cup mechanism 85, which is used to convert the rotational motion into the circumferential trajectory of the second product suction cup mechanism 85. The second product suction cup mechanism 85 refers to the vacuum suction device that grabs and packages the toothbrush.

[0043] Specifically, when the packaged toothbrush b needs to be transferred, the second revolving shaft drive mechanism 83 is activated, driving the second revolving shaft 82 to rotate about the Y-axis. The second swing arm 84, fixed to the second revolving shaft 82, rotates accordingly, causing the second product suction cup mechanism 85 to grab the packaged toothbrush b from above the product buffer 5 and then move it along an arc. When the swing arm rotates 180 degrees and reaches the product positioning station, the product's posture is flipped.

[0044] Through the above technical solution, the second product transfer device 8 realizes the grabbing, transfer and flipping of products, and has a compact structure and reasonable design.

[0045] In this embodiment, the product positioning device 7 includes: Positioning rack 71; Two fourth product positioning slot mechanisms 72 are installed on the above-mentioned positioning frame 71 at intervals along the Z-axis direction. Each of the above-mentioned fourth product positioning slot mechanisms 72 includes a plurality of fourth product positioning slots 721 arranged in sequence along the Y-axis direction, which are used to position the packaged toothbrush b on the above-mentioned second product transfer device 8.

[0046] As described above, positioning frame 71 refers to the base support structure used to carry and secure fourth product positioning slot mechanism 72. Fourth product positioning slots 721 are positioning units arranged linearly along the Y-axis, specifically using U-shaped or V-shaped slots. Their purpose is to synchronize the positioning of multiple packaged toothbrushes b through a horizontal array arrangement.

[0047] Specifically, when the second product suction cup mechanism 85 drives the packaged toothbrush b to flip over to the product positioning station, the second product suction cup mechanism 85 continues to support the packaged toothbrush b while the packaged toothbrush b falls onto the product positioning device 7. Only after the third product transfer device 10 removes the packaged toothbrush from the second product suction cup mechanism 85 will the second product transfer device 8 leave the product positioning station and continue with the next material transfer.

[0048] Through the above technical solution, the precise positioning of the packaged toothbrush b is achieved, and the structure is simple and the design is reasonable.

[0049] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned card holder inflow device 1, product inflow device 4 and card holder outflow device 11 are all conveyor belt devices. The above-mentioned third product transfer device 10 is a robot. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned card holder inflow device 1 is provided in two, and is located on both sides of the card holder outflow device 11 along the Y-axis direction. The card holder lifting device 2, the card holder lifting device 3, the product card insertion device 9, the third product transfer device 10 and the card holder transfer device 12 are each provided in two. The two card holder inflow devices 1 respectively transport the card holder to the two card holder lifting devices 2, and the two card holder lifting devices 3 respectively lift the card holders on the two card holder lifting devices 2. The two third product transfer devices 10 respectively transfer the packaged toothbrush on the same product positioning station to the two product card insertion devices 9, and the two product card insertion devices 9 respectively insert the packaged toothbrush into the card holder on the two card holder lifting devices 3. Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
