[0043] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0044] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a vertical and horizontal collinear packaging line, including:
[0045] A main input conveyor line 100 for conveying goods to be packed and turned over.
[0046] A first turning machine 200, the first turning machine 200 includes a first frame 3, a first turning frame 2, and a first input conveyor line 1; the first turning frame is rotatably arranged on the first frame, and the first input conveyor line is arranged on one side of the first turning frame.

[0049] In addition, the second input conveyor line is configured to selectively convey the goods conveyed by the main input conveyor line 100 directly or indirectly to the first input conveyor line.
[0050] Specifically, the goods to be packed are placed on the main input conveyor line 100, and the goods can be conveyed by the main input conveyor line 100. In the case where the goods need to be turned over along their long side direction, the main input conveyor line 100 conveys the goods to the second turning machine 300 for turning over. When the goods need to be turned over along their short side, the goods are conveyed on the main input conveyor line 100 to the second conveyor line, and then continue to be conveyed towards the first turning machine 200 via the second input conveyor line, so that the goods are finally conveyed to the first input conveyor line. In this way, the second turning machine 300 can be relied on to convey goods to the first turning machine 200, without the need to additionally configure an independent conveyor line to convey goods to the first turning machine 200.
[0051] In addition, in order to meet the packing requirements of the goods, the vertical and horizontal co-linear packing line further includes a packing device 400; the packing device 400 is configured to pack the goods before the first turnover machine or the second turnover machine turns them, and / or pack the goods after the first turnover machine or the second turnover machine turns them.
[0052] Specifically, for the goods input into the vertical and horizontal co-linear packing line, according to needs, before the turnover operation, the goods can be packed outside by the packing device 400 first, and then turned by the first turnover machine 200 or the second turnover machine 300. After turning, the goods can also be packed again by the packing device 400 according to needs.
[0053] Of course, the goods can also not be packed before turning, and after the goods are turned, they can be packed by the packing device 400. The packing device 400 can adopt a bundling machine using bundling belts or a film winding machine using packaging film in conventional technologies, which will not be limited and elaborated here.
[0054] In one embodiment, the main input conveyor line 100, the second turnover machine 300, and the first turnover machine 200 are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the goods.
[0055] Specifically, during the process of the goods entering and being conveyed on the vertical and horizontal co-linear packing line, the goods that need to be turned by the second turnover machine 300 are conveyed through the main input conveyor line 100 and the second input conveyor line in sequence, and the goods that need to be turned by the first turnover machine 200 are conveyed through the main input conveyor line 100, the second input conveyor line, and the first input conveyor line in sequence.
[0056] In one embodiment, the second turnover machine 300 is arranged at the output end of the main input conveyor line 100, and the conveying direction of the goods at the output end of the main input conveyor line 100 is the same as the conveying direction of the second input conveyor line.
[0057] In another embodiment, the second turnover machine 300 is adjacent to the first turnover machine 200, and the conveying direction of the second input conveyor line is the same as the conveying direction of the first input conveyor line. Specifically, the goods conveyed by the second input conveyor line towards the first input conveyor line can be directly conveyed from the second input conveyor line onto the first input conveyor line.
[0058] Alternatively, an auxiliary conveyor line 110 is further provided between the first turning machine 200 and the second turning machine 300. The direction of conveying goods at the input end of the auxiliary conveyor line 110 is the same as the conveying direction of the second input conveyor line, and the direction of conveying goods at the output end of the auxiliary conveyor line 110 is the same as the conveying direction of the first input conveyor line. Specifically, an auxiliary conveyor line 110 can be added between the second input conveyor line and the first input conveyor line, and the goods output from the second input conveyor line are indirectly conveyed to the first input conveyor line by the auxiliary conveyor line 110.
[0059] In another embodiment of the present application, in order to automatically output the turned goods, the vertical and horizontal co-linear packaging line further includes a main output conveyor line 500;
[0060] The first turning machine 200 includes a first output conveyor line 4. The first output conveyor line is provided on the other side of the first turning frame, and the first turning frame is configured to turn the goods on the first input conveyor line to the first output conveyor line;
[0061] The second turning machine 300 includes a second output conveyor line 4'. The second output conveyor line is provided on the other side of the second turning frame, and the second turning frame is configured to turn the goods on the second input conveyor line to the second output conveyor line;
[0062] The first output conveyor line is configured to convey the goods to the main output conveyor line 500, and the second output conveyor line is configured to convey the goods to the main output conveyor line 500.
[0063] Specifically, for the first turning machine 200 and the second turning machine 300, after the turning operation of the goods is completed, the turned goods also need to be output.
[0064] Taking the first turning machine 200 as an example, after the goods on the first input conveyor line are turned to the first output conveyor line, the turned goods are conveyed to the main output conveyor line 500 through the first output conveyor line, so as to continue to convey the turned goods through the main output conveyor line 500.
[0065] In a certain embodiment, the main output conveyor line 500 includes a first output line body 510, a second output line body 520, and a rotary conveyor line body 530. The rotary conveyor line body 530 is connected between the first output line body 510 and the second output line body 520, and the rotary conveyor line body 530 is configured to be rotatable to switch the conveying direction of the goods;
[0066] The first output conveyor line is configured to convey the goods to the rotary conveyor line body 530;
[0067] The second output conveyor line is configured to convey goods onto the first output line body 510;
[0068] Wherein, the first output line body 510 is configured to convey goods onto the rotary conveyor line body 530, and the rotary conveyor line body 530 is configured to convey goods onto the second output line body 520.
[0069] Specifically, in order to simultaneously meet the requirements of the first turnover machine 200 and the second turnover machine 300 for outputting the turnover goods, the main output conveyor line 500 includes a first output line body 510, a second output line body 520, and a rotary conveyor line body 530. The second output conveyor line can convey goods to the first output line body 510, and the goods are conveyed in sequence through the first output line body 510, the rotary conveyor line body 530, and the second output line body 520.
[0070] Similarly, for the goods conveyed by the first output conveyor line, the rotary conveyor line body 530 first rotates so that the conveying direction is consistent with that of the first output conveyor line. The first output conveyor line can convey goods to the rotary conveyor line body 530, and then, the rotary conveyor line body 530 rotates and resets to be connected between the first output line body 510 and the second output line body 520 for conveying goods.
[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, the turnover axis of the first turnover frame is configured to extend along the short side of the goods, and the turnover axis of the second turnover frame is configured to extend along the long side of the goods;
[0072] The vertical and horizontal collinear packaging line further includes a tipping alarm device (not shown), and the tipping alarm device includes a mounting frame, a tipping detector, and an alarm. The tipping detector is arranged on the mounting frame, the mounting frame is arranged at the first turnover machine 200, and the tipping detector is configured to trigger the alarm of the alarm after detecting that the goods turned over by the first turnover machine 200 are tipped over.
[0073] Specifically, the mounting frame can be arranged on the outside of the first output conveyor line, and the tipping detector can detect whether the goods erected and turned over fall to one side of the mounting frame from the first output conveyor line. The tipping detector can be a component for detecting items such as a photoelectric switch or a vision sensor, and no limitation and elaboration are made here.
[0074] Moreover, when the tipping detector detects that the goods erected and turned over are tipped over, the alarm can be triggered to give an alarm, and the alarm mode can be a conventional alarm mode such as sound and light. Regarding the control mode of the tipping detector detecting a signal to trigger the alarm, a conventional controller (such as a single-chip microcomputer, a CPU, or a PLC) can be used to execute it, and the specific control process can refer to the conventional alarm trigger control mode, and no elaboration is made here.
[0075] By configuring the first turnover machine 200 and the second turnover machine 300, corresponding turnover machines can be selected for turnover operations according to the requirements of vertical and horizontal turnover of goods. During the transportation of goods through the main input conveyor line 100, when the goods need to be transported to the first turnover machine 200, the goods transported by the main input conveyor line 100 will first be transported to the second input conveyor line of the second turnover machine 300, and the goods will be transit-transported to the first input conveyor line of the first turnover machine 200 with the help of the second input conveyor line. In this way, the transportation function of the second input conveyor line can be fully utilized to meet the transportation requirements for the goods to be transported to the first turnover machine 200. Furthermore, there is no need to configure an independent conveyor line for each turnover machine to meet the requirement of transporting the goods in place for turnover, thus meeting the requirement of continuous transportation and packing, reducing the equipment investment cost, and improving the packaging production efficiency.
[0076] In another embodiment of the present application, the specific structural forms of the first turnover machine and the second turnover machine are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0077] In one embodiment, as Figures 3 - 7 shown, for the first turnover machine, the transportation direction of the first input conveyor line is perpendicular to the turnover axis of the first turnover frame, and the transportation direction of the first output conveyor line is along the turnover axis of the first turnover frame.
[0078] Specifically, the first input conveyor line 1 is configured to transport goods 1000 along a first horizontal direction; a first turnover shaft 21 is provided on the first turnover frame 2, and the first turnover frame 2 is configured to reciprocally turnover through the first turnover shaft 21. A first bearing portion 22 and a second bearing portion 23 are provided on the first turnover frame 2, and the first bearing portion 22 and the second bearing portion 23 are arranged in an L shape; the first turnover shaft 21 extends along a second horizontal direction;
[0079] The first output conveyor line 4 is provided on the second bearing portion 23, and the first output conveyor line 4 is configured to carry the goods 1000 that are turned from the first bearing portion 22 to the second bearing portion 23.
[0080] In addition, the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are arranged in a crosswise manner.
[0081] Specifically, the first turnover machine provided in this embodiment can perform turnover operations on the goods 1000. And after the goods 1000 are transported along the first horizontal direction by the first input conveyor line 1 and approach the first turnover shaft 21, the first turnover frame 2 will turnover around the first turnover shaft 21 extending along the second horizontal direction.
[0082] For the automatic output of the goods 1000 turned to the upright state on the second bearing part 23, a first output conveyor line 4 can also be arranged on the second bearing part 23. A packing pallet 3000 is placed on the first output conveyor line 4. After the goods 1000 are turned upright onto the packing pallet 3000, the goods 1000 and the packing pallet 3000 are output together through the first output conveyor line 4.
[0083] In the case where the goods 1000 need to be turned to the upright state, since the goods 1000 will be conveyed along the long side direction of the goods 1000 during the normal conveying process, and the long side direction of the goods 1000 is the first horizontal direction, the goods 1000 are transported to the first turning machine and continue to be conveyed along the first horizontal direction through the first input conveyor line 1 to realize the continuous conveying of the goods 1000. Moreover, after the goods 1000 are conveyed close to the first turning shaft 21 through the first input conveyor line 1, they can be turned by the first turning frame 2 so that the goods 1000 are arranged upright.
[0084] During use, a packing pallet 3000 will be placed on the second bearing part 23. In this way, after the goods 1000 are conveyed in place and turned through the first input conveyor line 1, the goods 1000 will be carried on the packing pallet 3000.
[0085] Among them, for the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction, they are usually in a mutually perpendicular state. That is, the first horizontal direction is the extending direction of the long side of the goods 1000 during conveying on the first input conveyor line 1, and the second horizontal direction is the extending direction of the short side of the goods 1000 during conveying on the first input conveyor line 1.
[0086] By arranging the first input conveyor line 1 on the first bearing part 22 of the first turning frame 2, during actual use, the goods 1000 are conveyed to the first input conveyor line 1 together with the transfer pallet 2000. The first input conveyor line 1 will continue to convey the goods 1000 along the conveying direction of the goods 1000, so that the goods 1000 directly move to a position close to the first turning shaft 21. Then, the first turning frame 2 turns to make the goods 1000 turn and be carried by the second bearing part 23 to complete the turning operation of the goods 1000. In the case where the goods 1000 need to be turned to the upright state, the goods 1000 will move along its long side direction and be conveyed onto the first input conveyor line 1 and then continue to move along the long side (i.e., the first horizontal direction). Furthermore, a conveyor line with a rotating function cannot be additionally configured to rotate and adjust the conveying direction of the goods 1000. On the one hand, it can reduce the equipment investment cost, and on the other hand, it can realize continuous conveying to meet the requirements of continuous conveying and packing and improve the packing efficiency.
[0087] In one embodiment, the first flip machine also includes a first frame 3 and a first flip driving member; the first flip frame 2 is rotatably arranged on the first frame 3 through the first flip axis 21, and the first flip driving member is configured to drive the first flip frame 2 to flip on the first frame 3 through the first flip axis 21.
[0088] Specifically, in order to facilitate the installation of the first turning frame 2, the first turning machine is equipped with a first frame 3 to install the first turning frame 2, and the first turning shaft 21 of the first turning frame 2 is rotatably arranged on the first frame 3. The first turning driving member is used to drive the first turning frame 2 to turn over, and the first turning driving member can be a cylinder, which is hinged between the first turning frame 2 and the first frame 3; or the first turning driving member can be a driving motor, and sprockets are respectively arranged on the first turning shaft 21, and the driving motor is connected with the sprockets to realize driving the first turning frame 2 to turn over.
[0089] Here, there is no limitation on the specific entity of the first flip driving member.
[0090] In another embodiment, the first input conveying line 1 is disposed on the first carrying portion 22 .
[0091] Specifically, the first input conveyor line 1 is fixedly mounted on the first bearing portion 22 , and during the turning process of the first turning frame 2 , the first input conveyor line 1 will turn over along with the first turning frame 2 .
[0092] Furthermore, a clamping mechanism 24 is provided on the first bearing portion 22, and the clamping mechanism 24 includes a clamping driving member 241 and a clamping member 242, and the clamping driving member 241 is configured to drive the clamping member 242 to reciprocate along the second horizontal direction;
[0093] The clamping mechanisms 24 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first load-bearing portion 22 , and the plurality of clamping mechanisms 24 are configured to clamp the transfer pallet 2000 at the bottom of the goods 1000 on the first input conveyor line 1 through the plurality of clamping members 242 .
[0094] Specifically, when the goods 1000 are conveyed on the first input conveyor line 1 by means of the transfer pallet 2000, during the flipping process, in order to prevent the transfer pallet 2000 from tipping over after the goods 1000 are flipped and carried on the second supporting part, clamping mechanisms 24 can be respectively arranged on both side parts of the first supporting part. The clamping driving parts 241 in the clamping mechanisms 24 can drive the clamping parts 242 to reciprocate along the second horizontal direction. When the transfer pallet 2000 and the goods 1000 on the first input conveyor line 1 move close to the first flipping shaft 21 and reach the position, the clamping mechanisms 24 on both sides of the first supporting part act, so that the transfer pallet 2000 is clamped between the clamping parts 242 on both sides.
[0095] In this way, after the first flipping frame 2 flips to make the goods 1000 stand upright and carried on the packing pallet 3000 of the second supporting part, the transfer pallet 2000 on the first input conveyor line 1 is clamped by the clamping mechanism 24 and will not tip over.
[0096] For the clamping driving part 241, its physical entity can be a conventional device with a telescopic function such as a cylinder. Taking the cylinder as an example, in the actual use process, the specifications of the cylinders on both sides of the first supporting part can be configured differently. The cylinder on one side of the first supporting part is a large cylinder, and the cylinder on the other side of the first supporting part is a small cylinder. In this way, while the clamping mechanism 24 realizes clamping the transfer pallet 2000, the position of the transfer pallet 2000 along the second horizontal direction can be positioned simultaneously through the action of the large cylinder, so as to ensure that the flipped goods 1000 can accurately fall onto the packing pallet 3000 on the second bearing part, so as to improve the accuracy of packing.
[0097] Furthermore, in order to conveniently remove the empty transfer pallet 2000 on the first input conveyor line 1, a manipulator is further arranged on the first rack 3, and the manipulator is configured to remove the empty transfer pallet 2000 on the first input conveyor line 1; or, a pallet unloading module is further arranged on the first bearing part 22, and the pallet unloading module is configured to convey the empty transfer pallet 2000 on the first input conveyor line 1 along the second horizontal direction to the outside of the first input conveyor line 1.
[0098] Specifically, after the first flipping machine finishes flipping, the goods 1000 are carried on the packing pallet 3000 and taken away from the second bearing part 23 for subsequent packing processes. Then, the first flipping frame 2 will flip back in the reverse direction and reset. After the first flipping frame 2 resets, the clamping mechanism 24 will also reset to release the empty transfer pallet 2000. At this time, the transfer pallet 2000 can be removed from the first input conveyor line 1 through the manipulator or the pallet unloading module, so as to meet the subsequent conveyance of the transfer pallet 2000 carrying the goods 1000 onto the first input conveyor line 1.
[0099] For the manipulator, it can be configured with jaws to grip and transfer the transfer tray 2000, so as to directly pick up the transfer tray 2000 from the first input conveyor line 1. For the tray unloading module, it can be a pushing cylinder, and the pushing cylinder is arranged to extend along the second horizontal direction, and the pushing cylinder can push the transfer tray 2000 out from the side of the first input conveyor line 1. Alternatively, the tray unloading module includes a lifting and traversing conveyor line, and the lifting and traversing conveyor line can be lifted and lowered and convey the empty transfer tray 2000 in the second reverse direction. The lifting and traversing conveyor line can be two conveyor chains arranged side by side, and the first input conveyor line 1 can be a conveyor roller, and the conveyor chains are located between two adjacent conveyor rollers. When it is necessary to convey the transfer tray 2000 out from the first input conveyor line 1, the lifting cylinder can drive the lifting frame to rise, so that the conveyor chains on the lifting frame rise above the conveyor rollers and carry the transfer tray 2000. Then, the operation of the conveyor chains can output the transfer tray 2000 from one side of the first input conveyor line 1.
[0100] In one embodiment, in order to accurately control the distance of the goods 1000 in the first horizontal direction from the first turning axis 21, a limiting member 25 is provided on the first turning frame 2. The limiting member 25 is arranged close to the first turning axis 21 and is configured to position the goods 1000 on the first input conveyor line 1 or the transfer tray 2000 at the bottom of the goods 1000 along the first horizontal direction.
[0101] Specifically, during the conveying process of the goods 1000 on the first input conveyor line 1, when the goods 1000 are conveyed in place, the goods 1000 or the transfer tray 2000 at its bottom will abut against the limiting member 25 to control the position of the goods 1000 in the first horizontal direction. Among them, the limiting member 25 can be a limiting plate provided on the first bearing portion 22, or the limiting member 25 can be a limiting block provided on the first turning axis 21.
[0102] In another embodiment, for the first input conveyor line 1, the first input conveyor line 1 is arranged on the first rack 3 and does not follow the first bearing portion 22 to flip and move. In order to take out the goods 1000 on the first input conveyor line 1 and complete the flipping operation, a forklift is provided on the first bearing portion 22. The forklift is perpendicular to the first turning axis 21 and extends along the first horizontal direction. The forklift is configured to support and flip the goods 1000 on the first input conveyor line 1 onto the first output conveyor line 4.
[0103] Specifically, after the first input conveyor line 1 conveys the goods 1000 in place, the forklift will be located at the bottom of the goods 1000. The first turning frame 2 flips and drives the goods 1000 to flip through the forklift, so that the goods 1000 leave the first input conveyor line 1.
[0104] Among them, in order to facilitate the fork to drive the goods 1000 to be turned over and separated from the first input conveyor line 1, two forks arranged side by side are provided on the first bearing part 22. The width between the two forks is greater than the width of the first input conveyor line 1, and the width of the first input conveyor line 1 is smaller than the short side of the goods 1000. In this way, the goods 1000 can be turned over and taken out from the first input conveyor line 1 from the bottom of the goods 1000 by the two forks.
[0105] Alternatively, a sliding seat is provided on the first rack 3. The sliding seat can slide on the first rack 3 along the first horizontal direction. The first rotating shaft 21 of the first rotating frame 2 is rotatably provided on the sliding seat. Specifically, when it is necessary to turn over and take out the goods 1000 from the first input conveyor line 1, the sliding seat moves towards the first input conveyor line 1 so that the fork is inserted into the transfer tray 2000 at the bottom of the goods 1000. In this way, the turning operation can be carried out. The method of realizing the turning of the goods 1000 by the fork can refer to the turning method of a conventional turning machine equipped with a fork, which will not be limited and elaborated here.
[0106] In one embodiment, in order to position the packing tray 3000, the first turning machine further includes a pushing mechanism 41, and / or a first positioning mechanism 42, and / or a second positioning mechanism 43. The structures and functions of the pushing mechanism 41, the first positioning mechanism 42 and the second positioning mechanism 43 will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0107] The pushing mechanism 41 includes a pushing driving part 411 and a pushing part 412. The pushing driving part 411 is configured to drive the pushing part 412 to reciprocate along the first horizontal direction; the pushing mechanism 41 is arranged on the first output conveyor line 4 and away from the first rotating shaft 21, and the pushing part 412 is configured to push the packing tray 3000 on the first output conveyor line 4 towards the first rotating shaft 21.
[0108] Specifically, the pushing mechanism 41 is arranged outside the first output conveyor line 4 to be away from the first rotating shaft 21. In this way, after the packing tray 3000 is placed on the first output conveyor line 4 and conveyed in place, the pushing part 412 of the pushing mechanism 41 can push the packing tray 3000 towards the first rotating shaft 21 so that the packing tray 3000 is close to the first rotating shaft 21. After the turning machine is turned over, the goods 1000 can accurately fall on the packing tray 3000.
[0109] The first positioning mechanism 42 includes a first positioning driver 421 and a first positioning member 422. The first positioning driver 421 is configured to drive the first positioning member 422 to reciprocate along the first horizontal direction. The first positioning mechanism 42 is disposed on the first flipping frame 2 and near the first flipping shaft 21. The first positioning member 422 is configured to position the position of the packing pallet 3000 on the first output conveyor line 4 along the first horizontal direction.
[0110] Specifically, the first positioning mechanism 42 is disposed on the first flipping frame 2. The first positioning mechanism 42 is arranged inside the first output conveyor line 4 and near the first flipping shaft 21. In this way, after the packing pallet 3000 is placed on the first output conveyor line 4 and transported in place, the first positioning driver 421 can be used to drive the first positioning member 422 to move so as to position the distance between the packing pallet 3000 and the first flipping shaft 21, so as to ensure that the goods 1000 can accurately fall onto the packing pallet 3000 after being flipped.
[0111] The second positioning mechanism 43 includes a second positioning driver 431 and a second positioning member 432. The second positioning driver 431 is configured to drive the second positioning member 432 to reciprocate along the vertical direction. The second positioning driver 431 is disposed below the first output conveyor line 4. The second positioning member 432 is configured to extend above the first output conveyor line 4 and position the position of the packing pallet 3000 on the first output conveyor line 4 along the second horizontal direction.
[0112] Specifically, the second positioning mechanism 43 is disposed on the second supporting portion. The second positioning mechanism 43 is arranged on the traveling track of the first output conveyor line 4 for transporting the packing pallet 3000. The second positioning driver 431 is located below the first output conveyor line 4. During the process of the packing pallet 3000 moving along the second horizontal direction, the second positioning driver 431 drives the second positioning member 432 to extend above the first output conveyor line 4 to position the position of the packing pallet 3000 in the second horizontal direction, so as to ensure that the goods 1000 can accurately fall onto the packing pallet 3000 after being flipped.
[0113] In actual use, the pushing mechanism 41, the first positioning mechanism 42 and the second positioning mechanism 43 can cooperate with each other. That is, after the packing tray 3000 moves along the second horizontal direction on the first output conveyor line 4 and is positioned by the second positioning mechanism 43, the packing tray 3000 is located between the pushing mechanism 41 and the first positioning mechanism 42. The first positioning member 422 of the first positioning mechanism 42 extends under the drive of the first positioning driving member 421. Then, the pushing member 412 pushes the packing tray 3000 towards the first positioning member 422 under the drive of the pushing driving member 411, so as to position the packing tray 3000 in the first horizontal direction through the first positioning member 422.
[0114] Further, after the packing tray 3000 is conveyed in place on the first output conveyor line 4, in order to prevent the cardboard on the packing tray 3000 from detaching when the first turning frame 2 is turned to the state where the first supporting portion is horizontal, a cardboard clamping member 413242 can be provided on the pushing member 412. The cardboard clamping member 413242 is configured to press on the cardboard placed on the packing tray 3000 to prevent the cardboard from falling off the packing tray 3000 in the erected state.
[0115] Specifically, the upper surface of the packing tray 3000 usually places cardboard. In order to prevent the cardboard from falling off when the packing tray 3000 is turned to the erected state, a cardboard clamping member 413242 can also be provided on the pushing member 412. The pushing member 412 drives the packing tray 3000 to move, and clamps the cardboard on the packing tray 3000 through the cardboard clamping member 413242. In this way, when the first turning frame 2 is turned to the state where the packing tray 3000 is erected, the cardboard will not fall off the packing tray 3000 under the action of the cardboard clamping member 413242.
[0116] Among them, the physical entity of the cardboard clamping member 413242 can be an elastic pressing plate or a baffle.
[0117] In addition, the physical entities of the pushing driving member 411, the first positioning driving member 421 and the second positioning driving member 431 can adopt driving structural forms such as air cylinders and electric push rods, which are not limited here.
[0118] In one embodiment, after the goods 1000 are turned onto the packing tray 3000, the packing tray 3000 can be output together with the goods 1000 through the first output conveyor line 4. In order to ensure the smooth conveyance of the goods 1000 by the first output conveyor line 4 to avoid movement interference between the goods 1000 and the transfer tray 2000 on one side, a sliding frame 26 and a sliding driving member 27 are further provided on the second bearing portion 23. The sliding frame 26 is slidably provided on the second bearing portion 23, and the sliding driving member 27 is configured to drive the sliding frame 26 to slide reciprocally along the first horizontal direction.
[0119] Specifically, after the goods 1000 are turned over onto the packing pallet 3000, the sliding rack 26 will drive the first output conveyor line 4 away from the first bearing part 22 under the driving action of the sliding driving part 27, so that the goods 1000 can move away from the transfer pallet 2000 on one side. In this way, when the first output conveyor line 4 drives the packing pallet 3000 and the goods 1000 to move, the goods 1000 will not interfere with the transfer pallet 2000.
[0120] In another embodiment, first buffer members 32 are respectively arranged at both end portions of the first rack 3. One of the first buffer members 32 is configured to support under the bottom of the first bearing part 22 when the first bearing part 22 is in a horizontal state; the other first buffer member 32 is configured to support under the bottom of the second bearing part 23 when the second bearing part 23 is in a horizontal state.
[0121] Specifically, during the turning process of the first turning frame 2, the first turning frame 2 is driven to turn by the first turning driving part. During the reciprocating turning process of the first turning frame 2, when the first turning frame 2 turns in place, in order to position the first turning frame 2 and buffer the impact generated when the first turning frame 2 moves in place, a first buffer member 32 can be arranged at the corresponding end of the first rack 3. The first buffer member 32 can include shock-absorbing air bags 321 or shock-absorbing rubber blocks and other components with buffer functions. At the same time, the first buffer member 32 can also support columns 322 or support blocks as the final support structure to support the first bearing part 22 and the second bearing part 23.
[0122] In one embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, for the second turning machine, the conveying directions of the second input conveyor line and the second output conveyor line are both along the turning axis of the second turning frame.
[0123] Specifically, for the second turning machine, the conveying directions of the second input conveyor line and the second output conveyor line are both along the turning axis direction of the second turning frame, so as to meet the requirement of conveying the goods along their long side direction and being able to turn around the long side direction of the goods after being conveyed onto the second turning machine.
[0124] The second turnover rack is provided with a third bearing part 21' and a fourth bearing part 22', and the third bearing part and the fourth bearing part are arranged in an L shape; the second input conveyor is arranged on the third bearing part, and the second output conveyor is arranged on the fourth bearing part; second buffer members are respectively arranged at two end portions of the second rack, and one of the second buffer members is configured to support at the bottom of the third bearing part when the third bearing part is in a horizontal state, and the other second buffer member is configured to support at the bottom of the fourth bearing part when the fourth bearing part is in a horizontal state.
[0125] Meanwhile, for the second turnover machine, the clamping mechanism for clamping the transfer tray, the positioning mechanism and the pushing mechanism for positioning the packing tray configured in the first turnover machine described above can be referred to, and no limitation and detailed description will be made here.
[0126] In addition, the second turnover rack 2' can also slide relative to the second rack 3', that is, a sliding seat is arranged on the second rack 3' to satisfy the movement of the second turnover rack 2' along the direction perpendicular to the turnover axis of the second turnover rack 2'. In this way, when the second input conveyor of the second turnover machine is used to convey goods to the first turnover machine, the sliding seat drives the second turnover rack to move to one end portion of the second rack, so that the second input conveyor can convey goods to the first input conveyor; when the second turnover machine needs to convey the goods to the main output conveyor after turning over the goods, after the goods are conveyed onto the second turnover machine, the sliding seat drives the second turnover rack to move to the other end portion of the second rack, so that the second output conveyor can convey goods to the main output conveyor.
[0127] Wherein, the manner in which the sliding seat is driven to slide can adopt conventional driving manners such as the cooperation of an oil cylinder, a gear and a rack, and no detailed description and limitation will be made here.
