Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automation, and more specifically, to an automatic liquid bag boxing system. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of the automatic production line, the liquid bag boxing technology is an essential part of the automatic production line, and its demand is extremely large. In the liquid bag packaging production line, there is a process that requires the sterilized liquid bags to be placed in a carton according to the specified placement rules and then transported to the next process. Currently, liquid bag production enterprises generally use manual labor to complete this boxing process, such as manual placement, manual boxing, and manual folding of the lid, resulting in low efficiency and high labor intensity.

[0003] Since the manual labor is used to complete this boxing process, the processes such as manually placing the liquid bags, manually boxing, and manually folding the carton lid have low efficiency. Repeatedly performing the above actions manually easily causes fatigue or incorrect placement during production, and a large amount of manpower is required to complete it, resulting in high labor costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an automatic liquid bag boxing system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model aims to overcome at least one defect (shortcoming) of the above-mentioned prior art and provides an automatic liquid bag boxing system.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows: An automatic liquid bag boxing system includes a liquid bag conveyor for conveying liquid bags, a carton conveyor for conveying cartons, a vision inspection station, and further includes a flipping mechanism, a boxing mechanism, a boxing guiding mechanism, and a lid folding mechanism;

[0007] The flipping mechanism and the vision inspection station are sequentially arranged on the liquid bag conveyor;

[0008] The boxing guiding mechanism is arranged at the position where the distance between the liquid bag conveyor and the carton conveyor is the shortest, and the boxing mechanism adsorbs the liquid bags on the liquid bag conveyor and transfers them into the cartons on the carton conveyor;

[0009] After the packing is completed, when the flap folding mechanism pushes the flap on the carton to complete the flap folding, the carton after packing is output by the carton conveyor line. The automatic adjustment of the liquid bag placement surface is performed by using the flipping mechanism, and then the orientation surface of the product is determined by visual inspection, which improves the production efficiency. In addition, the packing mechanism can be used to automatically pack the products that have been visually determined. The carton is transported by the conveyor roller to the position of the packing guiding mechanism. The liquid bag is packed into the carton by the packing mechanism, and the flap folding mechanism is used to automatically fold the inner flap of the carton after packing, so as to smoothly enter the next process, reducing the labor intensity and effectively improving the production efficiency.

[0010] Further, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping cylinder, a flipping plate, a material blocking cylinder and a material blocking plate;

When the flipping plate pushes the liquid bag forward, the front end of the liquid bag is flipped under the blocking of the material blocking plate. By controlling the material blocking cylinder, the lifting of the material blocking plate can be controlled. When the liquid bag needs to be flipped, the material blocking cylinder drives the material blocking plate to descend and block at the front end of the liquid bag. At this time, the flipping cylinder drives the flipping plate to top against the rear end of the liquid bag. Under the push of the flipping plate, the liquid bag will be flipped over, so as to flip the liquid bag.

[0013] Furthermore, the packing mechanism includes an X-axis secondary module, a Y-axis secondary module, a rotating cylinder, a suction cup fixture, a packing arm and a vacuum pipeline;

[0014] The packing arm is successively connected to the X-axis secondary module and the Y-axis secondary module;

The packing arm on the packing arm can adsorb the liquid bag by driving the X-axis secondary module and the Y-axis secondary module, and then the liquid bag is transferred into the carton by the rotating cylinder, which is simple and convenient.

[0016] Further, the packing guiding mechanism includes a packing guiding base, a lifting cylinder, a box supporting cylinder and a box supporting block;

[0017] The box supporting blocks are uniformly arranged at the edge of the packing guiding base, and the box supporting blocks are connected to the box supporting cylinder;

[0018] The lifting cylinder is arranged in the middle of the packing guiding base;

[0019] The packing guiding base is arranged at the position with the shortest distance between the liquid bag conveying line and the carton conveying line. The lifting cylinder jacks up the whole carton, and the box supporting cylinder controls the box supporting blocks to open the four sides of the carton, facilitating packing.

[0020] Furthermore, the flap folding mechanism includes a flap folding cylinder and a flap folding plate.

By driving the flap folding plate with the flap folding cylinder, flap folding control of the carton can be realized, which is simple and convenient.

[0022] Further, the liquid bag conveying line includes a conveying mesh chain and a liquid bag conveying servo motor arranged on the conveying mesh chain.

[0023] The conveying mesh chain is connected to the packing guiding mechanism. By driving the conveying mesh chain to rotate with the liquid bag conveying servo motor, it is convenient to convey the liquid bag to the designated position.

[0024] Furthermore, the carton conveying line includes a roller conveying line, a reduction motor, a blocking cylinder, a blocking cylinder baffle box, and a carton conveying servo motor.

[0025] The carton conveying servo motor is arranged on the roller conveying line, and the rollers on the roller conveying line are connected to the reduction motor.

[0026] The blocking cylinder controls the blocking cylinder baffle box to be telescopically arranged between the rollers. The carton is conveyed by the carton conveying servo motor. The setting of the reduction motor can decelerate the carton to be processed, and the blocking cylinder baffle box can limit the position of the carton being processed, facilitating the processing of the carton.

[0027] Further, the vision inspection station includes a vision box body and a vision system. The vision box body is arranged on the liquid bag conveying line, and the vision system is arranged inside the vision box body.
