Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic supply, in particular to an automatic supply system for whole-stack carton consumables. Background Art

[0002] In traditional logistics, warehousing and packaging industries, a large number of cartons are required to package and store goods. After the cartons are produced, they need to be bundled and packed. Traditionally, manual operation is usually relied on to unpack the whole-stack cartons and then supply them.

[0003] The traditional method relies on logistics employees to supply the whole-stack cartons, which requires a large amount of labor input and has a relatively high labor intensity. Moreover, the manual operation speed is slow, unable to meet large-scale demands, and there may be waiting time and inconsistent operation problems during the supply process. On the other hand, due to the uncertainty of manual operation, some errors may be caused during the supply process, such as uneven stacking and incorrect quantity calculation, which may have a certain impact on the subsequent production process.

The visual recognition shooting component is signal-connected to the controller.

[0006] Preferably, the grasping group includes a carton gripper installed at the front end of the robotic arm. A tying rope operator is arranged on the side of the carton gripper. A shearer for cutting the rope and a gripper for clamping the rope are arranged inside the tying rope operator.

[0007] Preferably, a motor is arranged inside the pallet conveyor. The motor is a bidirectional motor, and the controller is electrically connected to the motor. The motor drives the pallet conveyor to operate through a chain.

[0008] Preferably, a rope recycling box is arranged on the side of the carton unbundling manipulator. The rope recycling box is of an open structure.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding end of the cardboard library, the discharging end of the pallet conveyor, and the rope recycling box are all located in the working area of the carton unbundling manipulator.

[0010] Preferably, the robotic arm is a lifting robotic arm.

[0011] After adopting the above structure, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This feeding system combines visual recognition, can automatically unpack and centrally place bundled cartons, has high precision, and does not require manual operation, with low labor requirements.

[0013] 2.

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Refer to Figures 1 - 3As shown in the figure, it includes an automatic case opener 1 and an AGV cart 6 that can move autonomously and is used to transport pallets 15. Each pallet 15 is placed with a stack of cartons 7 composed of several bundles of cartons. The bundled cartons 7 are all tied by carton binding ropes 13. A cardboard library 2 for feeding materials is connected to the side of the automatic case opener 1. The cardboard library 2 is equipped with full-library detection. A pallet conveyor 5 is provided on the side of the cardboard library 2. A pedestal 8 is provided between the pallet conveyor 5 and the cardboard library 2. A controller 9 and a carton unbundling manipulator 4 are provided on the pedestal 8. The carton unbundling manipulator 4 includes a robotic arm 10. The robotic arm 10 is a lifting robotic arm that can vertically lift and lower. A visual recognition and shooting component 16 and a grasping component are provided on the robotic arm 10. The visual recognition and shooting component 16 is signal-connected to the controller 9;

[0022] The grasping group includes a carton gripper 11 installed at the front end of the robotic arm 10. A rope binding operator 12 is provided on the side of the carton gripper 11. A cutter for cutting the rope and a gripper for clamping the rope are provided inside the rope binding operator 12;

[0023] A motor 14 is provided inside the pallet conveyor 5. The motor 14 is a bidirectional motor, and the controller 9 is electrically connected to the motor 14. The motor 14 drives the pallet conveyor 5 to operate through a chain;

[0024] An open-shaped rope recycling box 3 is provided on the side of the carton unbundling manipulator 4. The feeding end of the cardboard library 2, the discharging end of the pallet conveyor 5, and the rope recycling box 3 are all located in the working area of the carton unbundling manipulator 4.

[0025] The usage process of the present utility model:

[0026] Combined with Figure 4As shown, when in use, first power on and start the operation of the system equipment. The AGV cart 6 transports the pallet 15 with the stack of cartons to one end of the pallet conveyor 5, and unloads the pallet 15 and the stack of cartons onto the pallet conveyor 5. At this time, the motor 14 rotates forward, driving the pallet conveyor 5 to send the pallet 15 and the stack of cartons to its tail end. Then the robotic arm 10 starts to work, moves above the stack of cartons, and activates the visual recognition and shooting component 16 to identify the accurate position of the bundled cartons 7. Then, the carton gripper 11 picks up one bundle of cartons 7, and then the robotic arm 10 rotates and places the bundled cartons 7 into the cardboard storage 2. Then, the visual recognition and shooting component 16 is activated again to identify the position of the carton binding rope 13 on the bundled cartons 7 in the cardboard storage 2. The robotic arm 10 adjusts its angle so that the binding rope operator 12 is aligned with the carton binding rope 13, clamps the carton binding rope 13 with the gripper, and then the cutter cuts the carton binding rope 13. Then the robotic arm 10 rotates and pulls out the carton binding rope 13 outward. Then the robotic arm 10 moves above the rope recycling box 3, and the gripper releases the carton binding rope 13, allowing it to fall into the rope recycling box 3. After the carton binding ropes 13 on the bundled cartons 7 in the cardboard storage 2 are removed in sequence, the bundled cartons 7 are scattered. At this time, the cardboard storage 2 starts to work, pushes the scattered cartons from one end to stack them neatly, and then the cardboard storage 2 detects whether it is full. If it is full, the feeding is paused; if not, the above feeding process is repeated. While the visual recognition and shooting component 16 identifies the position of the bundled cartons 7, it also detects the number of bundled cartons 7 on the pallet 15. When all the bundled cartons 7 on the pallet 15 are taken away, the motor 14 is reversed to make the pallet conveyor 5 reverse and send the empty pallet 15 back. At the same time, the AGV cart 6 moves below the front end of the pallet conveyor 5, carries the pallet 15 away and transports a new pallet 15 with bundled cartons 7 to ensure the normal operation of the system;

[0027] The carton binding ropes 13 on the bundled cartons 7 are different in different productions, and the staff can set the quantity according to the actual situation.
