[0031] A packaging station includes a connection line 1, a packaging platform 3, an articulated robot 6, and two gripper placement racks 4.

[0032] The docking line 1 is used to convey a pallet 7, on which a workpiece is arranged, and an RFID tag is arranged on the pallet 7. Specifically, the docking line 1 includes conveyor belts 13 on both sides, and a conveying groove 14 is formed between the two conveyor belts 13. A groove 71 matching the conveying groove 14 is arranged at the bottom of the pallet 7, and a blocking block 72 is arranged at one end of the groove 71. Clamping blocks 73 matching the outer sides of the two conveyor belts 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom of the pallet 7.

[0033] One end of the connecting line 1 is bent 90 degrees to form a feeding end 11 . A first blocking cylinder 15 matching with the blocking block 72 is arranged at the bottom of the feeding end 11 . A feeding sensor 21 is arranged at one side of the feeding end 11 .

[0034] A lifting cylinder 17 and a second blocking cylinder 16 are also provided at the bottom of the middle part of the conveying trough 14. A position sensor 22 and an RFID reader 18 are provided at one side of the middle part of the connecting line 1. The lifting cylinder 17 is used to lift the tray 7, and the RFID reader 18 is used to read the RFID tag.

[0035] The other end of the connecting line 1 is bent 90° to form a discharge end 12 . A third blocking cylinder 19 matching the blocking block 72 is disposed at the bottom of the discharge end 12 . A discharge sensor 23 is disposed on one side of the discharge end 12 .

[0036] The articulated robot 6 is disposed at one side of the packaging platform 3 , and a robot-side quick-change plate 61 is disposed at an end of the articulated robot 6 .

[0037] Two grippers 5, one large and one small, are respectively provided on the two gripper placement racks 4. Specifically, the gripper placement rack 4 includes two vertically arranged support rods 41. The gripper 5 includes a placement plate 51, a clamping claw cylinder 53 and a gripper side quick change disc 54. Support holes 52 are respectively provided at both ends of the placement plate 51, and the two support holes 52 are respectively sleeved on the two support rods 41. The clamping claw cylinder 53 is arranged at the bottom center of the placement plate 51, and the gripper side quick change disc 54 is arranged at the top center of the placement plate 51.

[0038] The articulated robot 6 can be connected to a larger gripper 5 or a smaller gripper 5 through the cooperation of the robot-side quick-change plate 61 and the gripper-side quick-change plate 54 , so as to grasp and move objects of different sizes.

[0039] The placement plates 51 are also provided with detection sensors 55 , which point downward.

[0040] The packaging platform 3 is provided with two installation box placement grooves 31, one large and one small, and one side of the installation box placement groove 31 is provided with an upper cover placement groove 34 of corresponding size. The bottom of the installation box placement groove 31 is provided with a suction cup 32 for sucking the packaging box tightly. In addition, a box body sensor 33 is provided in the installation box placement groove 31, and an upper cover sensor 35 is provided in the upper cover placement box 34.

[0041] The working process of the packing station of this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] (1) Place the tray 7 with the workpieces and packaging boxes at the feeding end 11 of the docking line 1. At the same time, the top of the first blocking cylinder 15 limits the position of the tray 7. If the feeding sensor 21 detects a signal, proceed to the next step, otherwise stop and report an error.

[0043] (2) The first blocking cylinder 15 retracts, and the second blocking cylinder 16 pushes out to limit the position of the tray 7. If the in-position sensor 22 detects a signal, the next step is entered, otherwise the process stops and an error is reported.

[0044] (3) The lifting cylinder 17 is pushed out, and the RFID tag on the tray 7 is read by the RFID reader 18. The RFID tag on the tray 7 matches the type of the workpiece on the tray 7. In this embodiment, the workpiece is a pen holder, a seal or a car model.

[0045] (4) Based on the RFID information, the articulated robot 6 connects to the corresponding gripper and then packages the corresponding components on the tray 7.

[0046] Specifically, if the workpiece is a pen holder, the articulated robot 6 connects to the larger gripper 5, grabs the packaging box on the tray 7 and moves the packaging box to the larger packaging box placement slot 31. The box body sensor 33 detects whether the packaging box is placed in the corresponding packaging box placement slot 31. If there is a signal, the suction cup 32 sucks the packaging box tightly, and the articulated robot 6 moves the upper cover on the top of the packaging box to the upper cover placement slot 34. The upper cover sensor 35 detects whether the upper cover is placed in the upper cover placement slot 34. If there is a signal, the articulated robot 6 moves the gripper to the top of the packaging box, and detects whether the packaging box is empty through the detection sensor 55. If there is no signal, the articulated robot 6 moves the pen holder into the packaging box, and then moves the upper cover to the top of the packaging box to complete the packaging. The articulated robot 6 moves the packaging box with the pen holder to the tray 7.

[0047] If the workpiece is a seal, the articulated robot 6 connects to the smaller gripper 5, grabs the package box on the tray 7 and moves the package box to the smaller package box placement slot 31. The box body sensor 33 detects whether the package box is placed in the package box placement slot 31. If there is a signal, the suction cup 32 sucks the package box tightly, and the articulated robot 6 moves the upper cover on the top of the package box to the corresponding upper cover placement slot 34. The upper cover sensor 35 detects whether the upper cover is placed in the upper cover placement slot 34. If there is a signal, the articulated robot 6 moves the gripper 5 to the top of the package box, and detects whether the package box is empty through the detection sensor 55. If there is no signal, the articulated robot 6 moves the seal into the package box, and then moves the upper cover to the top of the package box to complete the packaging. The articulated robot 6 moves the package box with the seal to the tray 7.

[0048] If the workpiece is a car model, the articulated robot 7 connects to the smaller gripper 5, and then moves the gripper 5 to the top of the packaging box on the tray 7, and detects whether the packaging box is empty through the detection sensor 55. If there is no signal, the articulated robot 6 moves the car model into the packaging box. After that, the articulated robot 6 puts the smaller gripper 5 back on the corresponding gripper placement rack 4, connects to the larger gripper 5, and then moves the upper cover to the top of the packaging box to complete the packaging.

[0049] (5) The second blocking cylinder 16 retracts, the stamp tray 7 is transported to the discharge end 12, and the third blocking cylinder 19 pushes out to limit the tray 7. If the discharge sensor 23 detects a signal, the next step is entered, otherwise the process stops and an error is reported.

[0050] (6) Take out tray 7 and move it to the subsequent work station.

[0051] By identifying the RFID information on the pallet before packaging, this embodiment can use one device to package a variety of different fixed positions, occupying a small area and reducing equipment costs.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
