[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] 1. The utility model proposes a robot continuous cartoning production line, which realizes fully automated product packaging. It changes the original manual boxing method of workers into small boxes, and realizes automatic boxing of small boxes into medium boxes by equipment, thereby improving the automation level and production efficiency.

[0023] 2. The utility model proposes a robot continuous cartoning production line, which pushes small boxes out from the small box conveyor belt one by one by setting a pushing device, avoiding blockage of the small box conveyor belt and affecting packaging efficiency.

[0024] 3. The utility model proposes a robot continuous cartoning production line, which limits the small box to the clamping position by setting a limit plate, avoids the small box from being offset, and ensures that the clamping device can be accurately positioned.

[0025] 4. The present invention proposes a robotic continuous cartoning production line. By configuring a lid-opening device, the lid-opening rod is inserted into the gap between the large boxes. Simultaneously, the large box conveyor belt drives the lid of the large box upward, causing the lid to continue to flip away from the large box, thereby opening the lid. During the upward movement of the lid of the large box, the crossbar slides toward the large box, further flipping the lid away from the large box. This prevents the lid from flipping back, ensuring that the top of the large box remains open.

[0026] 5. The utility model proposes a robot continuous cartoning production line, which, through the setting of the sealing device, makes one end of the pressure rod press against the outer side of the lid of the large box, and at the same time uses the large box conveyor belt to drive the lid of the large box to flip, so that the lid continues to flip toward the direction of the large box to close the lid. During the closing process of the lid of the large box, the roller slides in the direction close to the large box, further making the lid fit the large box, making it difficult for the lid of the large box to tilt up, thereby ensuring that the top of the large box is always in a closed state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following combination Figure 1-3 The utility model is described in detail.

[0033] A continuous cartoning production line with a robot, such as Figure 1-2The described method includes a machine base 10, which includes: a small box conveyor belt 201 for conveying the small box 701, with a clamping station at the end; a pushing device, which is arranged on the other side of the small box conveyor belt 201 relative to the clamping station, and pushes the small box 701 to the clamping station; a large box conveyor belt 202, which is arranged on one side of the small box conveyor belt 201; an opening device (not shown in the figure), which includes an opening rod arranged at the starting position of the large box conveyor belt 202, and the opening rod is arranged obliquely upward along the opening direction of the large box 702 and abuts against the inner side of the box cover 7022 of the large box 702; and a sensor 40, which is communicatively connected to the clamping device 30 and is used to monitor the position of the large box 702.

[0034] The small box conveyor belt 201 conveys the small box 701 intermittently. When the conveying stops, the pushing device pushes the small box 701 from the end position of the small box conveyor belt 201 to the clamping station; when the large box 702 enters the starting position of the large box conveyor belt 202, the opening rod gradually lifts the box cover 7022 along the opening direction of the box cover 7022 of the large box 702. When the large box 702 enters the sensing range of the sensor 40, the sensor 40 sends a real-time position signal to the clamping device 30. The clamping device 30 grabs the small box 701 from the box taking station and moves with the large box 702, and then places the small box 701 in the opened large box 702.

[0035] The above-mentioned clamping device 30 is a multi-axis manipulator. The multi-axis manipulator grabs the small box 701 at the clamping station and follows the movement of the large box 702 in real time to place the small box 701 inside the large box 702. At this point, the packaging process of a single product is completed. Through the above-mentioned design, it can effectively replace the existing manual packaging process of products, greatly improving the packaging efficiency of the products.

[0036] It should be noted that the large box 702 in this embodiment is a rectangular plastic box, and is provided with placement slots 7021 adapted to the small box 701, preferably 2. In other embodiments, the large box 702 with different numbers of placement slots 7021 can be provided according to actual production needs.

[0037] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 The pushing device includes a driving member 501 and a push rod 502 that is transmission-connected to the driving member 501. One end of the push rod 502 is movably connected to the driving member 501, and the other end is connected to a push plate 503. The push plate 503 abuts against the small box 701 at the end position of the small box conveyor belt 201. The pushing device is located at the end position along the conveying direction of the small box conveyor belt 201.

[0038] Specifically, the driving member 501 is a driving cylinder, and the size of the push plate 503 is adapted to fit two small boxes 701. In other embodiments, the size of the push plate 503 can be set according to actual production requirements.

[0039] In this embodiment, the base 10 is further provided with a limit plate 60, which is provided with a limit groove 601 adapted to fit the small box 701. The limit groove 601 has an opening toward the pusher. Furthermore, the limit plate 60 is located at the clamping position and the distance between the limit plate 60 and the pusher is no greater than the length of the push rod 502.

[0040] In this embodiment, the clamping device 30 is provided with a suction port adapted to fit the small box 701. The suction port is used to absorb the small box 701 from the clamping station. Specifically, the suction port is a pneumatic suction cup. During grasping, negative pressure is generated within the suction cup, thereby sucking the small box 701 and achieving stable grasping of the small box 701. The number of pneumatic suction cups is two. In other embodiments, the number of suction ports can be set according to actual production needs.

[0041] In this embodiment, a barcode scanner is also included. The barcode scanner is fixed to the base 10 and scans the barcode of the large box 702 to obtain product information.

[0042] Specifically, the barcode scanner is a visual camera, which is installed on one side of the large box conveyor belt 202 along its conveying direction. The base 10 is equipped with a controller with a display screen. The sensor 40 and the visual camera are both electrically connected to the controller, which facilitates operations such as viewing, reviewing, and recording the status of the production process. The sensor 40 detects the position of the large box 702 during its conveyance and sends a signal to the robot arm if the position of the large box 702 cannot be detected.

[0043] In this embodiment, the cover opening device further includes a cross bar connected to the upper end of the cover opening rod. The cross bar is arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the large box conveyor belt 202 and abuts against the inner side of the box cover 7022 of the large box 702.

[0044] In this embodiment, a capping device (not shown) is further included, which includes a pressure rod, which is provided at the end of the large box conveyor belt 202. The pressure rod is arranged obliquely downward along the capping direction of the large box 702, and the pressure rod abuts against the outside of the box cover 7022 of the large box 702. Furthermore, the capping device also includes a roller, which is provided behind the pressure rod along the conveying direction of the large box conveyor belt 202, and the circumferential surface of the roller abuts against the outside of the box cover 7022 of the large box 702.
