Transparent packaging box with anti-counterfeit lock and full-automatic packaging method

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of automated packaging and anti-counterfeiting structure assembly technology, and discloses a transparent packaging box with an anti-counterfeiting lock and a fully automated packaging method. The fully automated packaging method includes pre-assembly of components, filling and capping, initial assembly of the bottle body, top cap gripping, visual guidance, and uniaxial pressing steps. In the top cap gripping process, the clamping component only grips the upper half of the outer wall of the transparent box body symmetrically at multiple points, physically cutting off the path of mechanical clamping force transmitted to the anti-counterfeiting flap below the anti-counterfeiting pull ring, thus avoiding the weak anti-counterfeiting structure from being accidentally broken under pressure during circulation. In the closing and pressing process, the physical rigidity formed by the bottom edge of the transparent box body and the limiting step surface of the upper shell of the base provides mechanical blocking and limiting for the assembly pressing stroke, ensuring that the first biting tooth of the anti-counterfeiting lock body smoothly engages in the bottom groove to complete self-locking, avoiding overload during assembly that could cause the outer parts to collapse, thus solving the technical problems of easily damaged anti-counterfeiting parts and incomplete pressing in automated assembly.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated packaging and anti-counterfeiting structure assembly technology, specifically to a transparent packaging box with an anti-counterfeiting lock and a fully automated packaging method. Background Technology

[0002] Existing transparent packaging boxes are usually equipped with anti-counterfeiting pull rings or anti-counterfeiting tampering structures to prevent the products inside from being illegally disassembled or switched during circulation. With the expansion of production scale, the packaging industry has generally introduced automated equipment such as multi-axis assembly robots to assemble and seal packaging boxes. However, existing automated packaging methods have technical defects when dealing with packaging boxes with such complex anti-counterfeiting structures.

[0003] Anti-counterfeiting packaging boxes are equipped with easily torn, weak anti-counterfeiting flaps as verification credentials. Traditional robotic grippers lack targeted design in terms of gripping position and force direction when grabbing and handling the top cover material. They are prone to applying improper radial extrusion force to the packaging box. This mechanical stress is transmitted to the weak anti-counterfeiting flap structure, which can cause irreversible accidental breakage of the anti-counterfeiting structure on the assembly line, resulting in the direct scrapping of the packaging material.

[0004] In the closing and pressing process of the top cover and base of the packaging box, the existing process mainly relies on the preset coordinate stroke of the assembly equipment for pressing. Since the injection-molded packaging box has dimensional tolerances, it is difficult to guarantee the assembly accuracy by simply relying on the coordinate system of the equipment itself. In actual production, it is common to see poor assembly phenomena such as excessive pressing stroke causing the transparent outer part to be crushed and broken by the robot arm, or insufficient pressing stroke causing the locking teeth to fail to fully engage with the bottom groove. In addition, the finished bottle body after filling has a large self-weight. In the process of the robot arm transferring and inserting it into the base at high speed, there is a lack of effective buffering and guiding mechanisms, which can easily cause mechanical interference and impact damage, seriously affecting the continuous operation stability of the automated packaging production line. Summary of the Invention

[0011] A second aspect of the present invention provides a fully automated packaging method for a transparent packaging box with an anti-counterfeiting lock, comprising the following steps: Pre-assembly steps for the components: Assemble the top nameplate, transparent box, U-shaped back plate, and side fixing buckles to obtain component A; assemble the anti-counterfeiting lock body and anti-counterfeiting pull ring to obtain component C; insert component C into the transparent box of component A to obtain component D; assemble the base upper liner, base buffer plate, base support frame, base upper shell, base lower positioning box, base lower shell, and transparent bottom cover in sequence to obtain component E; Filling and capping steps: A measured amount of wine is injected into the bottle. A bottle neck fixing seat is fitted on the outside of the bottle neck and locks with the bottle neck fixing cap. The finished cap, including the outer cap with the lifting ring and the inner cap with the sealing cap, is screwed and tightened at the bottle mouth to obtain assembly B. Initial assembly steps of the bottle body: The first assembly robot grabs the straight wall of the bottle neck below the outer cap of the lifting ring of the assembly B. The first assembly robot moves the assembly B vertically downward and inserts the bottom of the assembly B into the bottle-holding hole on the base shell of the assembly E. Top cover force isolation gripping and guiding steps: The second assembly robot grips the outer side wall of the upper half of the transparent box of the assembly D; Vertical guidance and pre-positioning steps: The machine vision inspection terminal acquires the relative position image of the assembly D and the assembly E. The control unit of the second assembly robot calculates the position offset based on the relative position image. The second assembly robot adjusts the pose of the assembly D and moves the assembly D downward. Uniaxial pressing and self-locking closing steps: The second assembly robot applies a vertically downward pressing force to the assembly D, the bottom edge of the transparent box contacts the limiting step surface of the upper housing of the base, the anti-counterfeiting lock body is inserted into the upper housing of the base, and the first biting tooth of the anti-counterfeiting lock body is engaged in the bottom groove of the upper housing of the base.

[0012] The initial assembly step of the bottle body specifically includes: the first assembly robot moves to the bottle body conveying station, and the flexible gripper at the end of the first assembly robot applies a radial clamping force to the straight wall of the bottleneck of the assembly B; the first assembly robot lifts the assembly B in a vertically upward direction and carries the assembly B to be directly above the base assembly station in a horizontal direction; the first assembly robot carries the assembly B and moves it vertically downward along the central axis of the assembly E; the bottom of the assembly B passes through the bottle clamping hole and contacts the top surface of the base buffer plate, and the first assembly robot releases the flexible gripper and resets vertically upward.

[0013] The top cover force isolation gripping and guiding steps specifically include: the end of the second assembly robot is equipped with a clamping component, the grippers of the clamping component are symmetrically distributed at multiple points along the outer side wall of the transparent box; the clamping component applies a symmetrical radial clamping force to the outer side wall of the upper half of the transparent box, and the clamping position of the clamping component avoids the anti-counterfeiting flap of the anti-counterfeiting pull ring and the anti-counterfeiting lock body.

[0014] The vertical guidance and pre-positioning steps specifically include: the relative position image includes the current coordinate point of the first biting tooth and the target coordinate point of the preset bottom groove on the base housing; the control unit of the second assembly robot calculates the position offset between the current coordinate point and the target coordinate point; the second assembly robot adjusts the horizontal pose and horizontal rotation angle of the assembly D so that the first biting tooth and the preset bottom groove are collinearly aligned in the vertical direction.

[0015] The uniaxial pressing and self-locking closure steps specifically include: the second assembly robot applies a vertically downward pressing force, forcing the anti-counterfeiting lock body to insert into the upper housing of the base; the inclined surface of the first biting tooth is pressed to guide the anti-counterfeiting lock body to undergo a slight elastic deformation, passing over the edge of the bottom groove; the bottom edge of the transparent box body contacts the limiting step surface of the upper housing of the base and forms a physical rigid abutment, the anti-counterfeiting lock body recovers its elastic deformation, the first biting tooth of the anti-counterfeiting lock body is engaged in the bottom groove of the upper housing of the base, and the right angle side of the first biting tooth forms a reverse anti-retraction structure with the bottom groove.

[0016] This invention provides a transparent packaging box with an anti-counterfeiting lock and a fully automated packaging method. It offers the following advantages: 1. In the fully automated packaging method of the present invention, during the top cover force isolation gripping and guiding step, the gripping component of the robotic arm is limited to gripping the outer wall of the upper half of the transparent box at multiple symmetrical points. This gripping method physically cuts off the stress path of mechanical clamping force to the fragile anti-counterfeiting flap at the bottom, avoiding accidental breakage of the anti-counterfeiting flap structure due to pressure during automated high-speed handling and circulation. At the same time, symmetrical gripping prevents the transparent box from undergoing concave deformation due to unidirectional clamping force, reducing the scrap rate of pre-assembled materials.

[0017] 2. In the uniaxial pressing and self-locking closing steps, this invention utilizes a machine vision inspection terminal to achieve collinear alignment of the first biting tooth and the preset bottom groove in the vertical direction. During the pressing process, the bottom edge of the transparent box and the limiting step surface of the upper shell of the base form a physical rigid contact, providing precise mechanical blocking and limiting for the downward pressing assembly stroke of the robot arm. This process step ensures that the anti-counterfeiting lock body can smoothly undergo elastic deformation and lock into the bottom groove to complete self-locking, replacing the fuzzy stroke determination relying on the equipment's own coordinate system, avoiding the crushing and breaking of the packaging box due to assembly overload, and significantly improving the packaging yield of the fully automated production line.

[0018] 3. The bottle initial assembly method of the present invention uses a first assembly robot to precisely grasp the straight wall of the bottle neck below the outer cap of the lifting ring. The specific grasping height avoids mechanical interference with the cap assembly. In the vertical lowering process, the elastic deformation of the base buffer plate absorbs the mechanical impact load generated when the heavy-duty assembly contacts the lowering. This process linkage mechanism ensures the translation and damage-free placement of the finished bottle on the automated production line after filling, and removes the obstacles to the fully automated packaging process of the anti-counterfeiting packaging box from module pre-assembly, heavy-duty bottle transfer to final self-locking closure.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a transparent packaging box with an anti-counterfeiting lock and a fully automated packaging method.

[0023] A transparent packaging box with an anti-counterfeiting lock and a fully automated packaging method are disclosed, comprising various assemblies in a non-assembled state and assembly equipment for performing the automated packaging process. The lower-level physical features of the assembly equipment include a first assembly robot, a second assembly robot, and a machine vision inspection terminal. The first and second assembly robots are multi-axis articulated robots. The machine vision inspection terminal includes an industrial CCD camera and a supplementary lighting source. The fully automated packaging method consists of the following steps: pre-assembly of assemblies (S100), filling and capping (S200), initial bottle assembly (S300), cap gripping and force isolation (S400), vertical guidance and pre-positioning (S500), uniaxial pressing and self-locking closure (S600).

[0024] The top cover module of the packaging system corresponds to assembly D in the overall packaging system. The top nameplate 1 is installed in the top recess of the transparent box 2. The U-shaped back plate 3 is attached to the rear inner wall of the transparent box 2. Side fixing buckles 10 are respectively installed on the bottom ends of both sides of the U-shaped back plate 3 to assist in the relative fixation of the U-shaped back plate 3 and the transparent box 2, thereby obtaining assembly A. For the specific snap-fit ​​structure between the top nameplate 1 and the transparent box 2, those skilled in the art can use conventional plastic elastic snap-fit ​​connection technology, which is a well-known technology in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0025] The locking assembly corresponds to component C in the overall packaging system. The anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 and the anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9 are connected via a plug-in structure on the outer front end of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 to obtain component C. A dovetail-shaped slot is provided on the front end face of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8. A dovetail-shaped insert matching the size of the dovetail-shaped slot is provided on the rear end face of the anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9. The dovetail-shaped slot and the dovetail-shaped insert cooperate to limit the relative displacement between the anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9 and the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 in the direction perpendicular to the pull-out direction. The internal insert of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 is injection-molded with a molded steel component. The molded steel component undergoes heat treatment to improve the overall structural hardness of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 to resist damage from external sawing tools. For the injection molding process of the molded steel component insert, those skilled in the art can use a conventional vertical injection molding machine with metal insert positioning fixtures. The insert injection molding process is a well-known technology in this field and will not be described further here.

[0026] Insert component C into the mounting hole at the bottom of the transparent box 2, and combine component A with component C to obtain component D. The outer wall of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 has protruding teeth, and the outer wall has a beveled transition structure. The lower end face of the teeth forms an acute-angle clamping space with the outer wall of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8. After component C is inserted into the transparent box 2, the teeth undergo elastic deformation and unidirectionally cross the inner edge of the transparent box 2, then reverse and clamp onto the inner wall of the transparent box 2. Anti-slip textures are formed on the undercut surface of the teeth to increase static friction resistance. The anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9 has an anti-counterfeiting flap, which, after installation, adheres tightly to the outer surface of the transparent box 2. The connection between the anti-counterfeiting flap and the main body of the anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9 is locally thinned or a V-shaped cut is used to create a fragile fracture zone.

[0027] The base module of the packaging system corresponds to assembly E in the overall packaging system. The base buffer plate 12 is placed in a pre-set mounting slot inside the base support frame 13. The upper base liner 11 covers the base buffer plate 12. The base buffer plate 12 is made of foamed material or elastic silicone, providing vertical elastic support. The lower base positioning box 15 is snapped into the interior of the lower base housing 16. The upper base housing 14 and the lower base housing 16 are fixedly connected, enclosing the upper base liner 11, the base buffer plate 12, the base support frame 13, and the lower base positioning box 15 within their internal cavities. A transparent bottom cover 17 is fitted onto the outer bottom of the lower base housing 16. The fixed connection between the upper base housing 14 and the lower base housing 16 can be achieved using conventional ultrasonic welding or snap-fit ​​processes, which will not be described in detail here.

[0028] A bottle-locking hole is provided at the center of the top of the upper housing 14 of the base. The inner diameter of the bottle-locking hole matches the outer diameter of the neck of the assembly B, and the maximum diameter of the bottle body of the assembly B is larger than the inner diameter of the bottle-locking hole. An anti-counterfeiting flap is integrally formed on the side of the upper housing 14 through a wall thickness reduction area. The anti-counterfeiting flap of the upper housing 14 is provided with side-engaging teeth that cooperate with the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8. The outer edge of the upper housing 14 is embedded in the limiting structure inside the transparent box 2.

[0029] The bottle module of the packaging system corresponds to assembly B in the overall packaging system. A bottle neck retainer 5 is fitted onto the outer side of the bottle neck. The bottle neck retainer 5 is engaged with the lower part of the bottle neck flange via an inner retaining ring. The bottle neck cap 4 and bottle neck retainer 5 are locked together, providing a mating contact surface with the internal components of the packaging box. The top of the handle cap 6 has an integrally formed handle structure, with longitudinal positioning ribs distributed on its inner wall. The handle cap 6 forms an interference fit with the outer wall of the sealing inner cap 7 via the longitudinal positioning ribs. The inner top surface of the sealing inner cap 7 is provided with an elastic sealing gasket, and its inner circumferential surface has internal threads.

[0030] When assembly D and assembly E are engaged, the first engaging tooth formed on the bottom end face of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 mates with the bottom groove in the corresponding locking area of ​​the upper housing 14 of the base. The first engaging tooth has a right-angled trapezoidal cross-section, and the right-angled side acts as a stop surface to prevent the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 from being pulled upward by force. The second side engaging tooth on the side end face of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 engages in the side groove of the upper housing 14 of the base in the horizontal direction, limiting the relative micro-movement gap between assembly D and assembly E in the horizontal direction.

[0031] For physical anti-vandalism mechanisms: In the anti-sawing structure, the distribution range of the molded steel parts covers the splicing gap between the transparent box 2 and the anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9. In the anti-violent damage point anti-counterfeiting structure, two anti-violent damage points are provided on the solid structure of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8, respectively located on both sides of the locking root of the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 and the transparent box 2. The stress generated by the minimum bearing section at the anti-violent damage point when subjected to external destructive force must be greater than the yield strength of the material used for the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8. In the anti-bottom hollowing and bite-tooth sealing protection structure, the bottle-locking hole of the base upper shell 14 prevents the assembly B from falling out. The first bite tooth between the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 and the base upper shell 14 is sealed in the internal space. In the hollowed-out state, the first bite tooth cannot be accessed, and the base upper shell 14, which is an external component, must be damaged to forcibly remove the assembly B. The shear resistance of the base upper shell 14 and the surrounding adjacent component locking structure must be greater than the maximum external tensile force required to forcibly remove the assembly B.

[0032] The fully automated packaging method consists of the following process steps: S100, Pre-assembly of assemblies S110. Assemble the top nameplate 1, transparent box 2, U-shaped back plate 3 and side fixing buckle 10 by snap-fit ​​or embedding to obtain assembly A.

[0033] S120. Assemble the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 and the anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9 by means of slot and plug, and obtain the assembly C.

[0034] S130. Insert assembly C into the pre-set mounting hole at the bottom of the transparent box 2 to obtain assembly D. Under the action of insertion pressure, the teeth on the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 undergo elastic deformation and cross the inner edge of the transparent box 2, locking in the inner wall of the transparent box 2 in the opposite direction. Assembly D is input into the fully automatic packaging production line.

[0035] S140, in sequence, the base inner liner 11, base buffer plate 12, base support frame 13, base upper shell 14, base lower positioning box 15, base lower shell 16, and transparent bottom cover 17 are assembled to obtain assembly E. Assembly E is transported to the base assembly station, where the clamping cylinder at the base assembly station performs coordinate positioning and physical clamping of assembly E.

[0036] S200, Filling and Capping S210, The filling equipment injects a measured amount of liquor into the bottle. For the controlled metering, a servo motor-driven piston cylinder can be used, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0037] S220. Assemble the outer cover 6 of the lifting ring and the inner cover 7 of the sealing ring to obtain the finished cover.

[0038] S230, the capping machine screws the finished cap onto the bottle neck, obtaining assembly B. The preset tightening torque applied by the capping machine must balance the axial reaction force generated by the pressure on the elastic sealing gasket and the frictional resistance between the threaded contact surfaces, forcing the elastic sealing gasket to undergo axial compression deformation to seal the internal space. Assembly B is then output to the next stage, the bottle initial assembly station.

[0039] S300, Initial assembly of bottle body S310, the first assembly robot moves to the bottle conveying station and grasps the preset force-bearing area of ​​assembly B. The preset force-bearing area is defined as the straight wall of the bottleneck below the outer cap 6 of the lifting ring of assembly B, avoiding the outer cap 6. The flexible gripper applies a radial clamping force to the bottleneck of assembly B. The control and drive method of the first assembly robot is well known in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] S320. The first assembly robot lifts assembly B vertically upwards, detaches it from the conveyor belt plane, and moves it horizontally to directly above the base assembly station.

[0041] S330, the first assembly robot carries assembly B and moves it vertically downward along the central axis of assembly E, inserting the bottom of assembly B into the bottle-holding hole at the top of the housing 14 on the base.

[0042] S340, the first assembly robot continues to move assembly B downwards until its bottom passes through the bottle-holding hole and contacts the top surface of the base buffer plate 12. It then releases the flexible gripper and returns to its vertically upward position. The static friction force generated by the clamping force applied by the flexible gripper must be greater than the sum of the weight of assembly B itself and the maximum inertial force generated by translation, and the actual compressive stress must be less than the allowable compressive stress of the bottle material.

[0043] S400, Top Cover Stress Isolation Grasp and Guide S410, the second assembly robot moves to the top cover conveying station, with a clamping component at its end.

[0044] S420, the contact surface of the clamping assembly is defined as the outer side wall of the upper half of the transparent box 2. The grippers are symmetrically distributed at multiple points, applying a symmetrical radial clamping force to grip the assembly D, preventing unidirectional force from causing concave deformation of the transparent box 2.

[0045] S430, a specific clamping position ensures that the clamping component avoids the anti-counterfeiting flap of the anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9 and the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8. Physical spatial isolation prevents the mechanical clamping force from being transmitted to the surrounding anti-counterfeiting flaps, preventing instantaneous breakage due to force.

[0046] S500, Vertical Guidance and Pre-positioning S510, the second assembly robot lifts assembly D upwards and moves it horizontally to directly above the base assembly station.

[0047] S520: The machine vision inspection terminal acquires images of the relative positions of assembly D and assembly E. The images include the current coordinates of the first engagement tooth on the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 and the target coordinates of the preset bottom groove on the base housing 14. Visual acquisition and calibration are well-known technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] S530, the control unit of the second assembly robot calculates the position offset and adjusts the horizontal pose and horizontal rotation angle of the assembly D so that the first biting tooth and the preset bottom groove are collinearly aligned in the vertical direction.

[0049] S540. After collinear alignment, vertically lower assembly D to a predetermined positioning height where the first meshing tooth is about to contact the top surface of the upper housing 14 of the base. The horizontal positioning error value after visual compensation must be less than the assembly gap between the first meshing tooth and the preset bottom groove.

[0050] S600, Uniaxial Pressing and Self-Locking Closure S610, the second assembly robot moves the assembly D downward from the predetermined positioning height. The bottom inner side of the transparent box 2 begins to contact and guide the outer edge of the upper housing 14 of the base.

[0051] S620, the second assembly robot applies a vertically downward pressing force, forcing the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 into the base housing 14. The inclined surface of the first biting tooth is pressed, guiding the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 to undergo a slight elastic deformation, passing over the edge of the bottom groove.

[0052] S630. As the pressing stroke reaches the assembly endpoint, the bottom edge of the transparent box 2 forms a physical rigid contact with the limiting step surface of the upper shell 14 of the base, providing mechanical blocking and limiting. The anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 restores its elastic deformation, the first biting tooth engages in the bottom groove, and the second side biting tooth simultaneously engages in the anti-counterfeiting flap side groove.

[0053] S640, the right-angled edge of the first biting tooth and the bottom groove form a reverse anti-reverse structure, creating a self-locking state. The second assembly robot releases the transparent box 2 and resets it upwards, completing the overall closed assembly. The applied vertical downward pressing force must be greater than the maximum assembly deformation resistance of the first biting tooth, and less than the axial yield critical force of assembly D and assembly E.

[0054] When opening the packaging box normally, move and pull the anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9 outwards. The pull ring 9, under tension, transmits the force to its own anti-counterfeiting flap. The anti-counterfeiting lock body 8, through the first and second side engagement teeth, transmits the external tension to the anti-counterfeiting flaps of the base upper shell 14 and the transparent box 2. Each anti-counterfeiting flap has a thinned area or a V-shaped cut forming a weak connection between itself and the body. When the external tension exceeds the material fracture limit of the weak connection, the anti-counterfeiting flap tears and breaks off, detaching from its original position. After the anti-counterfeiting flap detaches, the "Opened" message hidden on the surface is exposed. The anti-counterfeiting flap cannot be restored after breakage. Lift assembly D upwards, causing the anti-counterfeiting lock body 8 to detach from the base upper shell 14. Assembly D separates from assembly E, completing the normal opening operation of the packaging box. To ensure priority breakage, the ultimate tensile strength of each weak connection is less than the tensile strength of the anti-counterfeiting pull ring 9 and less than the yield strength of the main structure of the transparent box 2 and the base upper shell 14.

[0055] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
