The bottle bodies are conveyed through the first conveying unit 10. The material separation mechanism 20 is used to divide the bottle bodies into multiple columns for conveying. The diversion component 80 conducts diversion conveying after the bottle bodies are separated. The material separation mechanism 30 is used to zone and accommodate the bottle bodies passing through the material separation mechanism 20 at the end of the first conveying unit 10. The second conveying unit 40 is used to convey packaging boxes. The box-opening mechanism 50 is used to keep multiple packaging boxes on the second conveying unit 40 in an open state. The handling unit 60 is used to carry multiple bottle bodies in the material separation mechanism 30 into the packaging boxes in the box-opening mechanism 50. The first discharging unit 70 is arranged at the end of the second conveying unit 40 and is used to convey the packaging boxes containing bottle bodies to complete the packing process.

[0039] Among them, the material distribution mechanism 20 includes a first guiding track 21, a second guiding track 22, a swinging assembly, and an extension assembly.

[0040] Specifically, the first guiding track 21 confines the single-row bottles therein. The bottles move forward along with the first conveying unit 10 within the first guiding track 21. The first guiding track 21 is composed of two guiding plates, and the distance between the two guiding plates is adjustable to adapt to bottles of different specifications.

[0041] In addition, the second guiding track 22 is rotationally connected to and communicates with the first guiding track 21. The second guiding track 22 is also composed of two plate bodies.

[0042] In addition, the swinging assembly includes a first mounting frame 23 arranged on the first conveying unit 10. A first linear module 24 is arranged on the first mounting frame 23. A transmission seat 25 is arranged on the first linear module 24. The transmission seat 25 makes a translational movement along with the first linear module 24 and is connected to the second guiding track 22. The first linear module 24 can adopt a motor to drive a synchronous belt to rotate, and the mounting frame 23 is clamped on the synchronous belt to achieve linear drive.

[0043] In addition, the extension assembly includes a second linear module 26. The second linear module 26 is used to drive an extension plate 27 to make a linear movement along the length direction of the second guiding track 22. The second linear module 26 adopts a motor to drive a gear-rack transmission to achieve linear drive. The rack is arranged on the extension plate 27, and the extension plate 27 is arranged on the second guiding track 22. The guiding length can be extended through the extension plate 27.

[0044] In addition, a pushing cylinder 28 is arranged at each of the head end of the second guiding track 22 and the tail end of the extension plate 27. The pushing cylinder 28 is in transmission connection with a push plate 29, and the push plate 29 is used to push the bottles.

[0045] Among them, the diversion assembly 80 includes a second mounting frame 81. A plurality of diversion plates 82 and pressing plates 83 are arranged on the second mounting frame 81. A single-row of bottles can pass between two adjacent diversion plates 82, thereby forming a diversion channel. The pressing plate 83 is arranged between two adjacent diversion plates 82, and the pressing plate 83 contacts the position of the bottle caps.

[0046] In addition, the pressing plate 83 includes a pressing block 831. The pressing block 831 is sleeved on the second mounting frame 81. A first plate body 832 is inclinedly arranged on the pressing block 831. The end of the first plate body 832 is horizontally connected to a second plate body 833, and the second plate body 833 contacts the position of the bottle caps.

[0047] Thus, through the translational movement of the swing assembly and the translational movement of the extension assembly, the second guide rail 22 and the extension plate 27 are driven to rotate around the first guide rail 21, and the outlet of the extension plate 27 is aligned with different guide channels for conveying the bottles.

[0048] Among them, the box opening mechanism 50 includes a third mounting frame 51, and the third mounting frame 51 is provided with a third linear module 52. The third linear module 52 is used to drive the movable seat 53 to make a lifting movement. A plurality of connecting plates 54 are arranged across the movable seat 53. Two adjacent connecting plates 54 and the movable seat 53 constitute an opening and closing station. An opening and closing plate 55 is arranged on each of the four sides of the opening and closing station. The opening and closing plate 55 is used to resist the opening of the packaging box. The opening and closing plate 55 is arranged obliquely inwardly. During the descent process, the four opening edges of the packaging box are propped open to keep it in an open state.

[0049] Among them, the material separation mechanism 30 includes a fourth mounting frame 31, and a plurality of material separation plates 32 are arranged on the fourth mounting frame 31. A single row of bottles can pass between two of the material separation plates 32. A limiting component is arranged at the end of the material separation plate 32. The limiting component includes a fifth mounting frame 33. A plurality of limiting cylinders 34 are arranged on the fifth mounting frame 33. The limiting cylinders 34 are transmission-connected with the limiting plates 35. The limiting plates 35 are arranged between two adjacent material separation plates 32 and are in contact with and cooperate with the bottle bodies.

[0050] Here, the transport unit 60 includes a robot and a plurality of gripping units disposed on the robot. The gripping units are used to grip the bottle bodies and are common transport structures in the field, and are not further limited here.

[0051] Therefore, by cooperating with the material dividing mechanism 20 and the guide assembly 80 at the front end through the material separation mechanism 30, the bottles are divided into four rows to accommodate the bottles to be transported. The transport unit 60 can transport more than two rows of bottles at a time, ensuring that two rows are in a state of waiting to be transported without stopping.

[0052] Here, a fence 100 may also be provided around the packing equipment to provide a certain degree of protection.

[0053] Here, the conveying unit may adopt conventional conveying structures in the field such as roller conveying, belt conveying, etc.

[0054] All the methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order. Any and all examples used, or exemplary language provided herein (such as "for example") are merely to better illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, unless the claims are included.
