DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides an odd-even swing box device, including a conveying line 1, at least one automatic loading mechanism 2 and a swing box mechanism 3 along the conveying direction of the conveying line 1, the automatic loading mechanism includes a first loading mechanism 21 and a second loading mechanism 22, the first loading mechanism 21 and the second loading mechanism 22 are both provided with a disc loading device 202, a counter 203 and a swing platform 204, wherein the disc loading device 202 is suitable for transporting material rods one by one to the swing platform 204, and the counter 203 is suitable for counting the material rods arranged on the swing platform 204, so that the swing platform 204 of the first loading mechanism 21 is suitable for arranging a number of A dry number of material rods, and the number of rods arranged on the swing platform 204 of the second feeding mechanism 22 differs by one from the number on the first feeding mechanism 21; the swing box mechanism 3 includes a three-axis motion mechanism 31 and a first suction cup device 32 and a second suction cup device 33 connected to the three-axis motion mechanism 31, the first suction cup device 32 and the second suction cup device 33 are respectively provided with a lifting device 34 and are suitable for transporting the material rods arranged on the first feeding mechanism 21 and the second feeding mechanism 22 to the top of the conveying line 1, and the lifting device 34 is configured to drive the first suction cup device 32 and the second suction cup device 33 to alternately stack the sucked material rods in the box body.

[0021] In this embodiment, an automatic box loading device is further provided upstream of the automatic loading mechanism 2 to transport the boxes one by one to the conveyor line 1; the conveyor line 1 drives the boxes. The automatic box loading device and conveyor line 1 can adopt existing mechanisms and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] Combine Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first feeding mechanism 21 and the second feeding mechanism 22 are substantially identical and are arranged in parallel to simultaneously provide an odd number of bars and an even number of bars to the swing box mechanism 3, with the number of bars differing by one. This prevents the bars from rolling within the box body after the box is swung and reduces the gap between the upper and lower layers of bars. Taking the first feeding mechanism 21 as an example, the first feeding mechanism 21 includes a storage box 201, a disc feeding device 202, and a connecting plate 207. The outer circumference of the disc feeding device 202 is provided with a plurality of troughs, which are adapted to be rotated to transport the bars in the storage box 201 one by one to the swing platform 204. Here, the disc feeding device 202 passes through the bottom opening of the storage box 201. When the trough passes through the bottom opening of the storage box 201, the bars fall into the trough, are transported to the bottom of the disc under the rotation of the disc, and fall onto the connecting plate 207. They roll along the inclined connecting plate 207 to the swing platform 204.

[0023] The swing platform 204 is equipped with multiple bar troughs, the number of which is determined by the number of bars placed on the first or second tier of the box. Below the swing platform 204 are slide rails and a slider. The swing platform 204 is connected to the slider, which is connected to a drive mechanism 208 that drives the swing platform 204 back and forth along the slide rails. The drive mechanism 208 can be a screw mechanism. During loading, the swing platform 204 first moves away from the conveyor line 1. Then, driven by the drive mechanism 208, it slowly moves toward the conveyor line 1, revealing bar troughs beneath the connecting plate 207 to receive the bars that roll down from the connecting plate 207. The falling bars are counted by a counter 203. When the count matches the number of bar troughs on the placement platform, the placement platform is full, and the control system controls the disc loading device 202 to stop loading. After the placement platform has finished loading, it moves to the grabbing position of the placement mechanism. The first feeding mechanism 21 and the second feeding mechanism 22 have different numbers of bar slots on the swinging platforms 204 , and the number differs by only one.

[0024] A material stop plate 205 is provided on one side of the swing platform 204, and a flattening device 206 is provided on the other side. The flattening device 206 includes a flattening cylinder and a flattening push plate. The flattening cylinder is configured to drive the flattening push plate to push one end of the material rod into contact with the material stop plate 205 after a preset number of material rods are arranged on the swing platform 204, thereby flattening and arranging the material rods. The counter 203 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 207 to count the number of fallen material rods.

[0025] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the placement mechanism includes a three-axis motion mechanism 31. The first suction cup device 32 and the second suction cup device 33 are connected to the Z axis of the three-axis motion mechanism 31. When the first suction cup device 32 and the second suction cup device 33 move to the swing platform 204 to pick up materials, the Z axis descends to simultaneously pick up materials from both swing platforms 204. Both the first suction cup device 32 and the second suction cup device 33 are provided with rod slots adapted for the bar stock. The number of rod slots on the first suction cup device 32 is the same as the number of bar stock that can be arranged on the swing platform 204 of the first loading mechanism 21; the number of rod slots on the second suction cup device 33 is the same as the number of bar stock that can be arranged on the swing platform 204 of the second loading mechanism 22. This arrangement ensures that the number of bars picked up by the suction cup device does not exceed the preset number. When the box is placed, because the number of bar stock between the upper and lower layers differs by one, the bar stock on the upper layer can fall into the gap above the connection between adjacent bar stock on the lower layer, making the bar stock placement more neat and precise.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, two automatic loading mechanisms are provided along the conveying direction of the conveying line 1, and the box swing mechanism 3 is adapted to move between the two automatic loading mechanisms. By providing two sets of automatic loading mechanisms, the overall box packing efficiency can be improved.

[0027] When swinging the box, the three-axis motion mechanism 31 drives the first suction cup device 32 and the second suction cup device 33 to take the material at the same time and then move back to the top of the conveying line 1. At this time, when the first suction cup device 32 detects that the box body is in place, the first suction cup device 32 is driven by its own lifting device 34 to drop into the box body for swinging the box, and then rises; then the conveying line 1 drives the box body to continue to move to the position of the second suction cup device 33, and the second suction cup device 33 is driven by its own lifting device 34 to drop into the box body for swinging the box, and the second layer of rods is placed on the first layer of rods to complete the second layer of swinging the box; the box body continues to move to the second automatic loading mechanism 2, and the same swinging mechanism 3 moves to the position of the second automatic loading mechanism 2 to swing the third and fourth layers, thereby completing the process of swinging the multi-layer rods, and finally manual or automatic box folding is performed.

[0028] It should be noted that in other embodiments, more automatic loading mechanisms 2 can be set according to the number of layers to be placed, thereby realizing the function of placing multiple layers of rods in the box body and the number of rods in the upper and lower layers differing by one (i.e., odd and even), and each layer of rods is placed neatly and tightly with small gaps, thereby improving the placement efficiency and placement effect.

[0029] It should be understood that the above are only preferred implementations of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] The above description of the drawings used in the implementation manner only shows certain embodiments of the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the scope. For ordinary technicians in this field, other relevant drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.
