[0041] In addition, the descriptions of “first”, “second”, etc. in the embodiments of the present invention are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0042] The embodiment of the utility model provides a packaging box 110 unloading and packaging mechanism, which is used to hold the items to be contained in the packaging box 110 after grabbing the packaging box 110, and then cover the packaging boxes 110 with each other. In particular, in the process of packaging glass slides, automatic unloading and packaging actions can be used to reduce manual participation, improve packaging efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0043] like Figure 3-8 As shown, a packaging box 110 unloading and packaging mechanism provided by an embodiment of the utility model includes a table 100, on which a conveying device 102 for conveying a carrier 101 containing workpieces along a predetermined direction is arranged, and also includes on the table 100: a silo 200, a unloading robot 300 and a capping device 400, wherein the silo 200 is used to contain the packaging box 110, and includes a plurality of side walls 201 connected end to end, and a support plate 203 and a lifting drive device 202 are arranged at the bottom of the silo 200, and the lifting drive device 202 is transmission-connected to the support plate 203 to drive the support plate 203 to reciprocate from bottom to top in the silo 200, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 ,8 As shown, the packaging box 110 is installed in the silo 200, wherein the silo 200 is provided with a support plate 203 driven by a lifting drive device 202, that is, a plurality of packaging boxes 110 are stacked on the support plate 203 in a state where the two box bodies 111 are opened, and can move upward under the drive of the lifting drive device 202, so that the packaging box 110 located at the top can be grabbed at the opening on the upper side of the silo 200. In this embodiment, the lifting drive device 202 is exemplified by a motor and a screw system. In simple terms, the motor drives the screw to rotate along the axis, thereby driving the nut threaded thereon to reciprocate along the axial direction of the screw, and the support plate 203 is fixedly connected to the silo. The nut is on the nut, so that the nut can drive the support plate 203 to move in a straight line, and then lift the packaging box 110 located in the silo 200 upwards for easy grasping; in this embodiment, the unloading robot 300 is fixedly equipped with a suction nozzle assembly 310 at the execution end, which is used to suck the packaging box 110 contained in the silo 200 and the workpiece on the carrier 101; the covering device 400 is used to hold the packaging box 110 that has been grasped and transported, and to cover the two box bodies 111 of the packaging box 110 with each other to complete the packaging, and the covering device 400 includes a supporting plate 410, a covering plate 420 and a covering drive device 430 that drives the covering plate 420 to flip toward the supporting plate 410, such as Figure 4-7 As shown, the supporting plate 410 is fixedly arranged on the table 100 to carry the packaging box 110 after being grasped by the unloading robot 300; the covering plate 420 is located beside the supporting plate 410 and can be closed or opened toward the supporting plate 410; the covering drive device 430 is transmission-connected to the covering plate 420 to drive the covering plate 420 to flip.

[0044] In the process of packaging the workpiece, the unloading robot 300 grabs the packaging box 110 in the silo 200 and places it on the capping device 400. Specifically, one of the box bodies 111 of the packaging box 110 is placed on the supporting plate 410, and the other box body 111 is unfolded toward the capping plate 420. Then, the unloading robot 300 grabs the workpiece on the carrier 101 and transfers it to the box body 111 on the supporting plate. The capping drive device 43 0 drives the covering plate 420 to flip toward the supporting plate 410, thereby driving the other box body 111 to flip toward the box body 111 containing the workpiece and located on the supporting plate 410. When the covering plate 420 and the supporting plate 410 are docked and pressed against each other, the two box bodies 111 cover each other, thereby completing the packaging of the workpiece. In this embodiment, the two box bodies 111 are provided with corresponding and clamped buckles, which can make the two box bodies 111 clamped and fixed to each other after covering each other.

[0045] The device can automatically complete the process of loading and covering the packaging box 110, thereby reducing the involvement of operators, improving the efficiency of packaging the workpieces, and reducing production costs.

[0046] In this embodiment, a support member 411 is further provided on the support plate 410, one end of the support member 411 is fixedly mounted on the table 100, and the other end is fixedly mounted on the support plate 410, so that the support plate 410 is suspended on the table 100. In other words, the support plate 410 is suspended on the table 100 by the support member 411, which can shorten the interval between the support plate 410 and the unloading robot 300, reduce the working stroke of the robot 300, and improve the work efficiency. At the same time, by setting the support plate 410 in a suspended manner, the installation of the support plate 410 can be facilitated, and the assembly and production difficulty of the equipment can be reduced.

[0047] An adsorption structure is also provided on the support plate 410 for adsorbing the packaging box 110 on the support plate 410. The adsorption structure includes a plurality of mounting grooves 412 opened on the support plate 410 and arranged at equal intervals, and also includes a suction cup 413 fixedly installed in the mounting groove 412 and connected to an external air source.

[0048] When placing one box body 111 of the packaging box 110 on the supporting plate 410, the box body 111 is adsorbed on the supporting plate 410 by the suction cup 413. During the process of covering the other box body 111, the box body 111 on the supporting plate 410 can be prevented from moving, which would affect the covering of the two box bodies 111. It is worth noting that the suction nozzle is located in the mounting groove 412. When the suction nozzle is started to evacuate air from an external air source, the mounting groove 412 can be placed in a negative pressure state. After the box body 111 is placed on the supporting plate 410, the supporting plate 410 is in contact with the upper opening of the mounting groove 412, and the contact area is larger than the area of ​​the suction nozzle. This can improve the stability of the box body 111 on the supporting plate 410.

[0049] In this embodiment, the covering device 400 also includes a frame 421, which is fixedly installed on the table 100, and is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 422, which is fixedly connected to the covering plate 420. The covering drive device 430 is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft 422 to drive the rotating shaft 422 to rotate, and drive the covering plate 420 to flip along the rotating shaft 422. In this embodiment, the covering drive device 430 is an example of a motor, and the motor is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 422 through a coupling, so that it can drive the rotating shaft 422 to rotate, drive the covering plate 420 to flip toward the support plate 410, so as to push the other box body 111 toward the box body 111 containing the workpiece for closing.

[0050] To ensure that when the two boxes 111 are closed, the closing impact force of the closing plate 420 on the supporting plate 410 is not too large to damage the packaging box 110 and the workpiece, in this embodiment, the closing device further includes a buffer assembly, and the buffer assembly includes a buffer block 441 and a buffer 443; one end of the buffer block 441 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 422, and the other end extends radially along the rotating shaft 422 to form a buffer end 442; the buffer 443 includes two arranged side by side, both are located below the buffer block 441, and the two buffers 443 are respectively located on both sides of the axis of the rotating shaft 422 and are respectively opposite to the buffer end 442.

[0051] When the closing driving device 430 drives the closing plate 420 to flip, for example, flip towards the supporting plate 410 to close the boxes 111 with each other, the rotating shaft 422 drives the closing plate 420 and the buffer block 441 to continue to flip at the same time. When the closing plate 420 is about to close onto the supporting plate 410, the buffer end 442 contacts the end of the buffer 443 in advance, and thus decelerates under the block of the buffer 443, and then slowly flips towards the supporting plate 410 direction, so as to gently close the two boxes 111; it can be understood that when the closing plate 420 flips away from the supporting plate 410 direction, the other buffer 443 and the buffer block 441 also perform the above actions, so that the closing plate 420 can be relatively slow during the process and there will be no hard contact with other components, avoiding damage to the closing device 400 due to large impact.

[0052] In this embodiment, the buffer assembly further includes a first detection unit for detecting the state of the closing plate 420 when it flips towards the supporting plate 410 direction. The first detection unit includes a detection member 451 fixedly installed on the frame 421, and also includes an induction member 452 fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 422 and adapted to the detection member 451. When the detection member 451 detects the induction member 452, it means that the closing plate 420 has been closed with the supporting plate 410, that is, the two boxes 111 have been closed. At this time, the closing driving device 430 immediately stops driving to avoid damaging the workpiece and the packaging box 110. In this embodiment, the detection member 451 is a photoelectric sensor, and the detection member 451 is a baffle. After the baffle cuts off the photoelectric signal, the sensor transmits the detection signal to the controller, and the controller drives the closing driver to stop the action.

[0053] In this embodiment, the covering device 400 further includes a second detection unit, which is used to detect the limit position of the separation of the covering plate 420 after the covering plate 420 and the supporting plate 410 are separated from each other, so as to avoid excessive travel of the covering plate 420 during flipping. The second detection unit includes a mounting plate 461, a detecting member 462 and a docking member 463. The mounting plate 461 is fixedly installed on the frame body 421 and is arranged corresponding to the supporting plate 410; the detecting member 462 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 461, and its detecting end faces the direction of the supporting plate 410; the docking member 463 is fixedly installed on the supporting plate 410 corresponding to the detecting member 462, and the docking end of the docking member 463 is arranged corresponding to the detecting end, and is used to receive the detection signal emitted by the detecting member 462. After the covering plate 420 and the supporting plate 410 are unfolded from each other, the detecting member 462 and the docking member 463 correspond to each other, so that the docking member 463 can receive the detection signal of the detecting member 462, indicating that the covering plate 420 has been flipped to the limit position at this time. Correspondingly, when the covering plate 420 is not flipped to the limit position, the signal transmission between the detecting member 462 and the docking member 463 is cut off by the covering plate 420. Thus, the controller issues a signal to drive the cover driving device 430 to drive the rotating shaft 422 to rotate until the covering plate 420 and the supporting plate 410 are horizontally unfolded from each other, and the docking member 463 can receive the detection signal of the detecting member 462. In this embodiment, the detecting member 462 and the docking member 463 are also adapted optoelectronic sensors, which can accurately detect the state of the covering plate 420.
