Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicine packaging equipment, in particular to an automatic cartoning machine with pillow package misalignment detection function. Background Art
[0002] Automatic high-speed cartoning equipment is used for packaging two-piece tablets in the workshop, and it can put pillow-type packages into cartons. However, in the existing automatic high-speed cartoning equipment, some faults often occur. On the one hand, the equipment often has stuck packages, that is, the pillow-type package is stuck on the frame, causing the box picking chain and the silo to deviate. In severe cases, the transmission belt breaks, which greatly affects the production volume; on the other hand, because the cylinder factory design pressure is too large and cannot be adjusted, when the push rod hits the box, the running track cannot be quickly bounced under the action of the larger pressure cylinder, resulting in dislocation and easy jamming. It takes a lot of time to eliminate the fault and resume production, resulting in reduced production efficiency; in addition, after the package pushing mechanism pushes the package, if the pillow-type package is not completely put into the carton bin, the subsequent box folding mechanism will not be able to fold the box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present embodiment provides an automatic cartoning machine with pillow bag misalignment detection, comprising a frame 1, the frame 1 comprising a box loading mechanism 2, a pillow bag feeding mechanism 3 and a bag pushing mechanism 4, the box loading mechanism 2 being suitable for grabbing a medicine box 6 onto a box body placement table 21 through a suction cup device 22, the pillow bag feeding mechanism 3 comprising a pillow bag conveyor belt 34 suitable for conveying pillow bags 5, the pillow bag conveyor belt 34 being arranged at the front side of the box body placement table 21 to convey the pillow bags 5 to a bag pushing position 37 located in front of the medicine box 6, the bag pushing mechanism 4 being arranged at the front side of the bag pushing position 37 to push the pillow bags 5 located in front of the medicine box 6 into the medicine box 6, a first photoelectric sensor 36 being arranged above the bag pushing position 37, the first photoelectric sensor 36 being suitable for triggering the automatic cartoning machine with pillow bag misalignment detection to stop and brake when it is detected that there is still a pillow bag 5 at the bag pushing position 37 after the bag pushing mechanism 4 performs the bag pushing work.
[0019] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic cartoning machine with pillow package misalignment detection includes a control system for coordinating and controlling various processes, and can also receive control signals to control the operation and stop of the entire automatic cartoning machine with pillow package misalignment detection. The box loading mechanism 2 includes a rotating suction cup device 22, and the suction cup device 22 is used to grab the medicine boxes 6 one by one onto the box body placement table 21. Here, the box body placement table 21 can also be a box body transmission belt, and of course, it can also be transported by a conveying mechanism after the pillow package 5 is boxed. A plurality of fixed positions for placing the medicine boxes 6 can be simultaneously provided on the box body placement table 21, so that the medicine boxes 6 are fixed or vacuum-adsorbed on the box body placement table 21, and the front of the fixed position is the package pushing position 37.
[0020] Combination Figures 1 to 3As shown, the pillow bag feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeder 31 and a guide plate 32 connected to the bottom of the feeder 31. The feeder 31 is provided with a package pushing plate 33 on the other side opposite to the guide plate 32 to push the pillow bag 5 in the feeder 31 into the guide plate 32, and then the pillow bag 5 falls along the guide plate 32 into the pillow bag conveyor belt 34 below the guide plate 32. Here, the pillow bag 5 is stacked in the feeder 31 and falls by gravity. After the pillow bag 5 at the bottom is pushed out by the bag pushing plate 33, the pillow bag 5 above descends, and the pillow bag 5 is pushed out and slides down along the guide plate 32, where the guide plate 32 is configured as an inclined plate, which is used to connect the feeder 31 and the pillow bag conveyor belt 34 to guide the pillow bag 5 into the pillow bag conveyor belt 34, and the pillow bag conveyor belt 34 is provided with a plurality of silo bars 341 for accommodating the pillow bags 5, and a second photoelectric sensor 35 is provided at the end of the guide plate 32 at the side of the silo bar opening 341, and the second photoelectric sensor 35 is suitable for being triggered when the pillow bag 5 is stuck in the silo bar opening 341 to stop and brake the cartoning machine. When the equipment is running at high speed, the pillow-type bag 5 that is not pushed into the material bin column 341 will bounce up, and the upright or half-lying pillow-type bag 5 will block the second photoelectric sensor 35, thereby triggering the automatic cartoning machine with pillow-type bag misalignment detection to stop and brake, thereby preventing the pillow-type bag 5 that is not pushed into the material bin column 341 from being stuck in the material bin column 341, playing a protective role and saving a large number of equipment parts. Here, the second photoelectric sensor 35 is connected to the control system.
[0021] The pillow bag conveyor belt 34 is used to convey the pillow bags to the bag pushing position 37. A first photoelectric sensor 36 is arranged above the bag pushing position 37. The first photoelectric sensor 36 is connected to the bag pushing mechanism 4 and the control system. When the bag pushing mechanism 4 is working, if the first photoelectric sensor 36 still detects that there is a pillow bag 5 on the bag pushing position 37 within a preset time, it is determined that the pillow bag 5 is not completely pushed into the medicine box 6. At this time, the first photoelectric sensor 36 is triggered, so that the control system executes a stop brake to prevent the medicine bag from being stuck in the frame 1.
[0022] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the package pushing mechanism 4 includes a package pushing rod 42 and a track cylinder 41 for driving the package pushing rod 42 to work. Two stop valves 43 installed oppositely are arranged on the air intake pipe 44 of the track cylinder 41 to reduce the pressure of the track cylinder 41. Here, the package pushing rod 42 is arranged at the front side of the package pushing position 37 to push the pillow-type bag 5 in the package pushing position 37 into the medicine box 6. Here, the package pushing rod 42 is extended and retracted by the drive of the track cylinder 41 to push the pillow-type bag 5 into the medicine box 6. When the cylinder pressure is high, it is easy for the package pushing rod 42 to be unable to quickly bounce back and reset, thereby causing misalignment. Therefore, in this embodiment, two oppositely installed stop valves 43 are provided on the air intake pipe 44 of the track cylinder 41, and the forward cutoff and reverse conduction characteristics of the stop valve 43 are utilized to reduce the pressure of the track cylinder 41. Another stop valve 43 is provided on the air outlet pipe 45 of the track cylinder 41 to adjust the pressure of the track cylinder 41, thereby realizing that the pressure of the track cylinder 41 is controllable and adjustable.
[0023] Through the scheme of this embodiment, the machine jam caused by the pillow packs not reaching the designated position during pillow pack feeding and boxing is effectively reduced, the failure rate is reduced, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.
