[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides a technical solution for an automatic case packing machine: including a first conveyor belt 1 for placing a case A, a second conveyor belt 2 for placing goods B, an adjustment mechanism 4, and a grabbing mechanism 3; the first conveyor belt 1 includes a first front conveyor belt 11 and a first rear conveyor belt 12; the adjustment mechanism 4 is arranged between the first front conveyor belt 11 and the first rear conveyor belt 12; the grabbing end of the grabbing mechanism 3 reciprocates between the adjustment mechanism 4 and the grabbing mechanism 3. The empty case A is transported by the first front conveyor belt 11, so that the empty case A falls on the adjustment mechanism 4, and then the goods B on the second conveyor belt 2 are transferred to the empty case A by the grabbing mechanism 3; after the goods B are filled, the adjustment mechanism 4 pushes the case A into the first rear conveyor belt 12 for shipment. The case A includes but is not limited to wooden cases and metal cases.

[0026] The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a rotating platform 42 and a feeding assembly 41; the feeding assembly 41 pushes the box A to move on the rotating platform 42, and the feeding assembly 41 is respectively connected to the first front conveyor belt 11 and the first rear conveyor belt 12, so that the box A on the first front conveyor belt 11 enters the rotating platform 42, or the box A on the rotating platform 42 is transferred to the first rear conveyor belt 12. The rotating platform 42 is a prior art, and its purpose is to adjust the position of the feeding assembly 41 and its box A, so it will not be described in detail in the specification. The feeding assembly 41 is used to adjust the position of the box A on the rotating platform 42, so that the position of the box A can be adjusted during the process of placing the goods B into the box A; thereby making full use of the space of the box A.

[0027] Preferably, a partition 22 is provided at the end of the second conveyor belt 2; the partition 22 is used to allow the goods B to fall into the pickup area 22, thereby forming a fixed pickup area 22, so that the grabbing mechanism 3 can be directed to the pickup area 22 to pick up materials.

[0028] The grabbing mechanism 3 includes a first screw lift 31, an electric gripper 33, and a cylinder 32; the first screw lift 31 drives the electric gripper 33 and the cylinder 32 to move; the piston of the cylinder 32 is connected to the electric gripper 33; the electric gripper 33 grabs the cargo B. The first screw lift 31 is an existing device that can be directly purchased on the market, so it will not be described in detail in this specification. It is worth mentioning that the pickup area 22 needs to be set on the same longitudinal plane as the electric gripper 33, so that when the electric gripper 33 moves down through the cylinder 32, it can directly grab the goods B without adjusting the front and rear positions. Therefore, the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 are set vertically, and the moving direction of the first screw lift 31 is set parallel to the first conveyor belt 1; in this way, when the first screw lift 31 moves the electric gripper 33 to the top of the pickup area 22, the piston of the cylinder 32 extends forward, which will enable the electric gripper 33 to grab the goods B. After that, the cylinder 32 is reset, and the first screw lift 31 is used to move the goods B to the top of the box A. The piston of the cylinder 32 extends forward again to prevent the goods B from being placed in the box A.

[0029] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly 41 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of feeding assemblies 41 are mirror-imaged; the feeding assembly 41 includes a chain 411, a sprocket 412, a first servo motor 413, and a fixing member 414; the fixing member 414 is provided with a plurality of pieces, which are evenly distributed on the chain 411; the chain 411 is meshed with the sprocket 412; the first servo motor 413 is connected with the sprocket 412 to enable the chain 411 to move. The fixing member 414 forms a contact fixation with the box A, and then the first servo motor 413 drives the chain 411 to move the box A on the rotating platform 42; the purpose is to adjust the position of the box A by using the feeding assembly 41 when the grabbing mechanism 3 places the goods B, so that the goods B can cover the box A. The fixing member 414 includes but is not limited to a suction cup and a rubber pad; the fixing member 414 is close to the box A, and the user can choose any one of the suction cup and the rubber pad to use. In order to facilitate the box A to enter the adjustment mechanism 4, the same side of the two chains 411 are tilted (a guide sprocket 415 can be added to the chain 411 to change the shape of the chain 411), so that the feed port C is trumpet-shaped.

[0030] See also Figure 5-7In another embodiment, the feeding assembly 41 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of feeding assemblies 41 are arranged in a mirror image; the feeding assembly 41 includes a second screw lift 4102, a push plate 4101 arranged on the moving end of the second screw lift 4102, and a third conveyor belt 4104 arranged on the rotating platform 42; the second screw lift 4102 drives the push plate 4101 to move; the third conveyor belt 4104 is used to send the box A into the rotating platform 42, so that the box A is close to the push plate 4101, and then the movement of the push plate 4101 is used to push the position of the box A on the rotating platform 42, so that the goods B can cover the box A. After the box is packed, the push plate 4101 pushes the box A into the first rear conveyor belt 12. The same side of the two second screw lifts 4102 is provided with a guide plate 4103, so that the feed port C is trumpet-shaped.

[0031] Working principle: Make the feed port C correspond to the first front conveyor belt 11. When the box A passes through the first front conveyor belt 11 and arrives in front of the feed port C, use the third conveyor belt 4104 (fixed part 414) to make the box A enter the rotating platform 42, and then the rotating platform 42 rotates 90°, and the grabbing mechanism 3 grabs the goods B and puts them into the box A; after the first column is full of goods B, the position of the box A is changed by the feeding component 41, so that the goods B clamped by the grabbing mechanism 3 falls into the second column, and this reciprocating process is carried out until the box A is full, and then the rotating platform 42 is reset and rotated 90°, and the box A is pushed into the first rear conveyor belt 12 by the feeding component 41.

[0032] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention.
