Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated glove production technology, specifically to an automated glove boxing process and equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional processes, plastic gloves, as a common household item, are widely used in daily life and production, especially in the catering and medical fields, where they have broad application prospects. However, gloves are mostly made of flexible materials such as PE and PVC, and are inherently flexible in structure. Currently, the filling and packaging of gloves are still mainly done manually, resulting in low packaging production efficiency and limiting the rapid production of gloves.

[0003] While automated cartoning equipment is used in existing technologies for automated production, some drawbacks still exist, such as: 1. Information silos across multiple production lines and difficulties in matching cardboard boxes: Traditional cartoning equipment lacks an effective production line information traceability and identification mechanism, making it impossible to automatically match gloves from different production lines, batches, and specifications with their corresponding cardboard boxes. Manual verification and adjustment are required during production line changes, which is not only inefficient but also prone to packaging quality issues due to incorrect box mixing, making it difficult to meet the intelligent requirements of collaborative production across multiple production lines and flexible production changeover.

[0004] 2. Mismatch between glove picking and boxing cycle time limits production efficiency: The picking, venting, shaping and boxing actions of existing equipment are mostly sequential operations. When a set of gloves is being boxed, the picking and venting processes are forced to wait, resulting in idle time of "boxing while waiting for material preparation" or "material preparation while waiting for boxing". The equipment utilization rate is low and cannot match the cycle time requirements of high-speed production lines, which restricts the further improvement of the overall production capacity.

[0005] 3. Low success rate of opening cardboard boxes and poor forming consistency: Traditional box opening mechanisms mostly use a single suction cup or mechanical block, which is not adaptable to cardboard boxes of different sizes and stiffness, and is prone to problems such as incomplete opening, box deformation or even tearing; after opening, there is a lack of effective box support and positioning mechanism, and the cardboard box is prone to springing back or deformation in subsequent handling, fastening and other processes, which makes it impossible for subsequent processes to proceed smoothly, seriously affecting production stability and yield.

[0006] 4. Low efficiency and bulky equipment structure in multi-station collaboration: In cartoning processes requiring multi-stage collaborative operations, traditional equipment often necessitates independent handling mechanisms for each station. This results in complex equipment structures, large footprints, and difficulty in precisely synchronizing the handling rhythms between stations, easily leading to jams or waiting times, thus limiting the realization of high-speed continuous production. In fully automated packaging lines for products such as gloves, automatically opening and stably maintaining folded and flattened cardboard boxes in a predetermined state is a crucial prerequisite for the smooth operation of subsequent high-speed cartoning processes.

[0007] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: An automated glove boxing process includes the following steps: S1. Glove loading: After the gloves are produced from multiple production lines, they are conveyed to the glove conveyor on the double-speed chain line. At the same time, the basic information of the glove is recorded. The glove conveyor carrying the gloves is then transported to the buffer mechanism for buffering via the double-speed chain line and released when it is needed. S2, Glove Picking: Two sets of glove picking modules alternately pick up gloves from the glove conveyor of the double-speed chain and transfer the gloves to the glove pushing mechanism; S3, Paper box feeding and opening: The paper box hopper stores various types of paper boxes separately. The paper boxes in the paper box hopper are taken out by the feeding module and transferred to the opening mechanism. The opening mechanism unfolds the paper boxes to form the shape. S4. Cardboard box outer cover opening: The multi-station conveying mechanism holds the cardboard box at the box opening station, and the box opening positioning mechanism automatically opens the outer cover of the unfolded cardboard box to keep the cardboard box in a stable open state. S5, First end snapping: The multi-station conveying mechanism clamps the cardboard box at the first snapping station, and the first snapping mechanism snaps one end of the cardboard box to form a closed end; S6. Paper box rotation and positioning: The positioning and rotation mechanism clamps the paper box and rotates it to a preset angle, then moves towards the clamping mechanism, which clamps and fixes the paper box. S7. Glove insertion: The glove insertion mechanism vents and shapes the glove, and pushes it into the cardboard box with one end already fastened. The positioning rotation mechanism and the clamping mechanism are reset. S8. Glove tightening: The multi-station handling mechanism clamps the cardboard box at the tightening station, and the second pushing mechanism tightens the gloves from the open end of the cardboard box; S9, Second End Locking: The multi-station conveying mechanism holds the cardboard box at the second locking station, and the second locking mechanism locks the other end of the cardboard box to make the cardboard box completely closed. S10. Finished Product Output: The multi-station handling mechanism enables the synchronous clamping, handling, and unloading of cardboard boxes between multiple stations.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. By setting up a glove conveyor line consisting of a double-speed chain, a buffer mechanism, and an IFRD information input and reading device, and installing an IFRD chip at the bottom of the glove conveyor, the double-speed chain can automatically buffer and release gloves according to the production cycle, effectively balancing the speed difference between the preceding and following processes; the IFRD chip records and transmits the glove's specifications, batch, and other belonging information in real time, enabling the cartoning machine to accurately identify and control the feeding module to automatically match and retrieve the corresponding specification of carton from the carton hopper, providing reliable data support for the automated high-speed cartoning production of gloves that is compatible with multiple production lines and multiple specifications throughout the entire process, and reducing the possibility of mixed packaging of incorrect boxes; The technical effects achieved are: parallel conveying, dynamic buffering and full-process information traceability of gloves from multiple production lines are realized, and automatic high-speed boxing production of gloves with multi-production line collaboration and multi-specification compatibility is realized.

[0020] 2.

[0022] 4. By setting up a multi-station transport mechanism consisting of an X-axis multi-station adsorption module and a transport module, and by setting the X-axis multi-station adsorption module in two sections with multiple adsorption stations respectively matched with the box support and positioning mechanism, the first box fastening mechanism, the second pushing mechanism, and the second box fastening mechanism, the X-axis multi-station adsorption module can simultaneously adsorb and hold the cardboard boxes on multiple stations, ensuring that they remain stable and do not shift during box fastening, pushing and other operations; the transport module drives the adsorption module to move synchronously between the stations to complete the batch transfer of cardboard boxes.
