[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a double-station cartoning machine includes a frame 1, a first conveyor line 2 and a second conveyor line 3.

Reduce labor costs and reduce enterprise operating costs. Through automatic loading and automatic conveying of cartons, an efficient and low-cost packing process is achieved. The sponge suction cup has a protective effect on the appearance of the product: through the specially designed sponge suction cup automatic packing equipment, the product can be better fixed on the packing machine robot arm, reducing the possibility of shaking and damage during the movement of the robot arm.

Improve product quality and consistency: The automated operation of the case packing machine ensures the consistency and accuracy of the case packing process, improves product quality, and reduces the inconsistency and errors that may be caused by manual operation.

[0026] There are two sets of lifting components 42, and the two sets of lifting components 42 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the transverse moving component 41;

[0027] The lateral movement assembly 41 includes a base 411, a lateral movement motor 412, and a horizontal guide rail 413. The lateral movement motor 412 is installed on the base 411, and the bottom output end of the lateral movement motor 412 is connected to the horizontal guide rail 413 through a transmission rack. The base 411 is connected to the lifting assembly 42;

[0028] The base 411 is provided with an installation opening 4111 for installing the double-station symmetrically arranged lifting assembly 42;

[0029] The lifting assembly 42 includes a first lifting motor 421, a first lifting guide rail 422, a second lifting motor 423 and a second lifting guide rail 424. The first lifting motor 421 and the second lifting motor 423 are both connected to the base 411 through fixing parts.

[0030] like Figure 6As shown, a box expansion opening 541 is opened on the box expansion frame 54, and a box expansion plate 542 and an expansion plate 543 are installed on the box expansion opening 541. The box opening 542 and the expansion plate 543 are installed on the box expansion opening 541 to expand the box opening for packing, thereby performing automated packing operations without manual packing, thereby greatly improving the packing efficiency.

[0031] The box expansion openings 541 are symmetrically opened on the box expansion frame 54 , and the box expansion plates 542 and the port expansion plates 543 are installed on the symmetrically opened box expansion openings 541 .

[0032] The box expansion plates 542 are installed on the four inner walls of the box expansion opening 541 , and the opening expansion plates 543 are installed on the four corners of the inner wall of the box expansion opening 541 .

[0033] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, the product (noodle box) is transported to the bottom of the grabbing mechanism 4 through the first conveyor line 2, and the grabbing mechanism 4 lowers the height of the suction cup mechanism 43 through the lifting component 42 until the suction cup sponge 434 fits the upper surface of the product (noodle box), and the product (noodle box) is adsorbed and fixed through the vacuum adsorption components such as the cylinder 437 and the air joint 436, and then the lifting component 42 with the product (noodle box) adsorbed is synchronously translated to the second conveyor through the transverse movement component 41. Above the conveying line 3, while the grabbing mechanism 4 grabs and delivers the product (noodle box), the expanding cylinder 52 of the expanding mechanism 5 drives the expanding frame 54 downward, and simultaneously drives the expanding plate 542 and the expanding plate 543 to move downward to expand the opening of the packaging box (the packaging box is placed on the second conveying line 3, and the box opening expansion action is performed when the packaging box is located directly below the expanding mechanism 5). After the box opening is expanded, the product grabbed by the grabbing mechanism 4 is waited for to be packed, and the two groups of pairs are adjusted by the lateral movement component 41. The lifting component 42, the suction cup mechanism 43 and the two groups of products (bowl noodle boxes) adsorbed and fixed by the suction cup mechanism 43 are weighed to the rightmost end (located directly above the above-mentioned packaging box), and the driving end of the lifting component 42 adjusts the height of the suction cup mechanism 43 and the product (bowl noodle box) downward until it completely falls on the bottom of the packaging box, and then the vacuum adsorption component of the suction cup mechanism 43 cooperates to make the product (bowl noodle box) fall inside the packaging box, and the lifting component 42 and the suction cup mechanism 43 return to the highest point, and then the lifting component 42 and the suction cup mechanism 43 are adjusted to above the first conveyor line through the transverse movement component 41, and the above-mentioned grabbing action is repeated to put the product (bowl noodle box) above the first layer of bowl noodle boxes in the packaging box, and then the vacuum in the suction cup mechanism 43 stops working, and the product falls above the first layer of bowl noodles, and then enters the next packing cycle, and the left-right symmetrical double-station lifting component 42 and the suction cup mechanism 43 cooperate with the box expansion mechanism 5 to quickly perform boxing operations, the boxing is fast and stable, the boxing action is accurate, and the work efficiency is relatively high.

In addition, the above-mentioned technical features continue to be combined with each other to form various implementation methods not listed above, which are all regarded as the scope of the description of the utility model; further, for ordinary technicians in this field, they can be improved or transformed according to the above description, and all these improvements and transformations should belong to the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
