For example, "A and / or B" means: A exists alone, B exists alone, and A and B exist at the same time. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "plurality" means two or more.

[0064] See also Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , an automatic static-eliminating baler 100 provided by the present invention is shown. The automatic static-eliminating baler 100 includes a cabinet 110 , in which a controller and baler functional components are disposed. The baler functional components are arranged in a baler frame 120 .

[0065] Specifically, the baler functional components mainly include a baler conveying roller component and a baling component.

[0066] The baler conveyor roller assembly is used to convey the packaging bags to a target location. In a specific implementation, the baler conveyor roller assembly may include a plurality of traction rollers corresponding to the plastic bag roll, and the plurality of traction rollers traction the plastic bag roll to rotate to control the plastic bag output to the target location.

[0067] The plastic bag roll can be placed in the bag storage portion. As an example of a typical method, see Figure 2 As shown, a bag storage portion 121 is provided in the baler frame 120, and the bag storage portion 121 is used to store packaging bags. For example, a bracket for mounting a plastic bag roll can be provided in the bag storage portion 121, and the plastic bag roll is mounted on a rotating shaft of the bracket, and the plastic bag roll can rotate around the rotating shaft to output the plastic bag.

[0068] After the baler conveyor roller assembly 122 conveys the plastic bag to the target position, the plastic bag is discharged at the target position. The installation and discharge of the plastic bag roll belong to the prior art, and reference can be made to various balers provided in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0069] The traction roller preferably adopts a rubber roller 1221, see Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of rubber rollers 1221 form a traction roller assembly to control the rotation output of the plastic bag roll 200. Specifically, the plurality of rubber rollers 1221 can cooperate to output the plastic bag from the plastic bag roll 200 of the bag storage portion 121 to the target location, see Figure 4 During the plastic bag delivery process, the traction roller assembly controls the tightness of the plastic bag to avoid wrinkles and folds on the bag body.

[0070] The packaging assembly is used to open the delivered packaging bag to allow the goods to enter the bag, and then seal the bag after the goods are bagged. Depending on the number of goods in the shipping order, a single packaging bag can contain one or more goods. That is, if there is only one item in the shipping order, the bag is sealed after that item is bagged; if there are multiple items in the shipping order, the bag is sealed after all items are bagged. Multiple items in a shipping order can also be packaged and packed separately as needed.

[0071] Preferably, the packaging assembly includes a bag opening mechanism, a bag sealing mechanism and a bag cutting mechanism, and is mainly used for packaging plastic bag type packaging bags.

[0072] The bag opening mechanism is used to open the plastic bag that has been taken out of the bag so that the goods can enter the plastic bag. In a specific setting, the bag opening mechanism may include a blowing part and a bag-supporting part. The blowing part is arranged corresponding to the bag opening of the plastic bag that has been taken out of the bag, and is used to generate an airflow to blow open the bag opening of the plastic bag. The bag-supporting part includes two struts, and a strut driving structure is provided corresponding to the struts to drive the struts to move. The distance between the two struts matches the width of the plastic bag; after the bag opening is blown open, the two struts are driven to extend into both sides of the bag opening respectively and pull and limit the bag opening - for example, the two struts hook the two sides of the bag opening and move backward to a preset position to cause the bag opening of the plastic bag to open and keep the bag opening in an open state.

[0073] In this embodiment, the blowing unit is positioned above the opening of the finished plastic bag. The blowing unit includes a fan and an air outlet. Air is blown through the air outlet toward the opening of the plastic bag below to open the bag opening. Preferably, the blowing unit may include a first fan and a backup fan. A first air outlet is provided for the first fan, and a reinforced air outlet is provided for the backup fan. The first air outlet may be elongated and disposed along the length of the bag opening. The reinforced air outlet is smaller than the first air outlet to generate a stronger airflow, thereby assisting in opening bags that are difficult to blow open.

[0074] The bag sealing mechanism is used to seal the bag after the goods are bagged. Preferably, the bag sealing mechanism includes a heating wire, which is arranged along the width of the bag opening. The length of the heating wire is greater than the width of the bag opening. After the goods are bagged, the bag sealing mechanism is driven to move the bag opening toward the heating wire so that it contacts the heating wire and applies pressure. The heating wire heats the bag opening of the plastic bag to heat-seal it.

[0075] The bag cutting mechanism is used to cut off a single packaged plastic bag from the plastic bag roll after the bag sealing is completed, so that the packaged and sealed plastic bag is separated from the plastic bag roll. In specific implementation, the bag cutting mechanism can adopt a cutting structure, a shearing structure or a pulling structure.

[0076] After the bag is cut, the packed bags are dropped for shipment, or transported to the grid cabinet for users to pick up.

[0077] In this embodiment, the static electricity removal component provided corresponding to the packaging bag conveying path and / or the packaging path is used to eliminate static electricity on the packaging bags.

[0078] In specific configuration, the static electricity removal component may adopt a contact type static electricity removal device or a non-contact type static electricity removal device.

[0079] When the former is adopted, the static elimination component may include a contact static elimination rod or a static elimination brush, which is arranged on the packaging bag conveying path and can contact the packaging bag to conduct away the static electricity on the packaging bag.

[0080] When the latter is adopted, the static electricity removal component preferably adopts an ion wind static eliminator.

[0081] The ion wind output end of the ion wind static eliminator is set corresponding to the packaging bag. A negative ion generator is set in the ion wind static eliminator for generating an airflow containing negative ions and outputting it to the packaging bag, thereby eliminating static electricity on the packaging bag in a non-contact manner.

[0082] Preferably, in this embodiment, the ion wind static eliminator may include an ion blower and one or more static rods, the ion blower is connected to each static rod via a pipeline, the ion rods and pipelines are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and one ion rod corresponds to one pipeline.

[0083] The pipeline has a first end and a second end. The first end of the pipeline is connected to the output end of the ion blower, and the second end of the pipeline is connected to the electrostatic rod.

[0084] The ion blower is used to generate negative ions and output them to the output port. The output ions enter the electrostatic rod through the pipeline. If needed, the ion blower can be connected to an air pump. The specific structure and operating principle of the ion blower are prior art and will not be detailed here.

[0085] The electrostatic rod is arranged on the packaging bag conveying path and along the width direction of the packaging bag. The electrostatic rod is provided with an ion air outlet for blowing negative ion air to the packaging bag to eliminate static electricity on the packaging bag.

[0086] The length of the electrostatic rod is preferably matched to the width of the packaging bag, and the ion air outlet on the electrostatic rod preferably covers the wide range of the packaging bag. Specifically, the ion air outlet can be an array of small holes arranged in a row on the electrostatic rod, or a long narrow slit provided on the electrostatic rod, without limitation.

[0087] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, an example is given of disposing static electricity removal components 130 (such as static electricity bars) at multiple locations along the packaging bag conveying path.

[0088] As an advantage, the target position is provided with a bag-discharging traction roller, and the above-mentioned static-eliminating component 130 is laterally provided above the bag-discharging traction roller to eliminate static electricity on the plastic bag 210 after the bag is discharged. At this time, the preferred arrangement of the static-eliminating component 130 is shown in FIG. Figure 5 shown.

[0089] In this embodiment, corresponding to the baler conveying roller assembly, a first label assembly installation area 123 is further provided for installing the first label assembly.

[0090] Corresponding to the bag opening mechanism, a loading hopper 124 is provided for loading goods into the opened packaging bags. Below the loading hopper 124, a packing and wrapping support 125 is provided. This support can be positioned horizontally or vertically. In the horizontal position, it supports the plastic bags. When the bags are broken, the support can flip downward to the vertical position, guiding the broken plastic bags into the delivery port or into a conveyor channel or conveyor device. The bags can then be transported to a storage cabinet or the next processing station via the conveyor channel or conveyor device.

[0091] The first label assembly may specifically include a first printer and a labeling mechanism, wherein the first printer is used to print label paper, and the labeling mechanism is used to affix the aforementioned label paper to the packaging bag.

[0092] The first printer is preferably a thermal printer for printing and outputting label paper. The label paper may record a list of goods and purchaser information. When the goods are medicines, the label may also record medical advice information.

[0093] The labeling mechanism is used to stick the label paper output by the thermal printer onto the packaging bag. It can be various action execution structures. As long as it can stick the label paper onto the packaging bag through the action, there is no limitation here.

[0094] Before, during or after the plastic bag is taken out of the bag, the labeling mechanism can stick the label paper on the packaging bag.

[0095] Preferably, the label paper output port of the first printer is positioned corresponding to the plastic bag outlet of the baler's conveyor roller assembly 122. The label paper output by the first printer can land on the plastic bag at the outlet—the plastic bag at the outlet being the current packaging bag. The labeling mechanism is positioned above the plastic bag at the outlet. When the label paper lands on the plastic bag at the outlet, the labeling mechanism is controlled to affix the label paper to the plastic bag. The plastic bag is then controlled to exit the bag (i.e., transported to a target location), and the goods are packaged using the exiting plastic bag. As an example of a typical embodiment, the labeling mechanism can be implemented using a simple actuator, such as a telescopic member or a lifting member. During labeling, a controller controls the telescopic member to extend downward or the lifting member to descend, pressing the output label paper onto the plastic bag at the outlet. The drive mechanism for the telescopic member or lifting member can be pneumatic or electric, depending on the needs, and is not limited here.

[0096] It should be noted that those skilled in the art should be aware that, as required, the labeling mechanism may also employ a complex motion actuator, such as a multi-degree-of-freedom intelligent robotic arm, to perform labeling.

[0097] In this embodiment, the packaging machine functional component may further include a second label component.

[0098] The second label assembly may specifically include a second printer arranged corresponding to the opened packaging bag, and the second printer is used to print the goods list and output the goods list so that the goods list falls into the opened packaging bag.

[0099] The second printer can also be a thermal printer, used to print and output the cargo list. After the output cargo list is separated from the thermal printer, it can fall into the opened packaging bag under the action of gravity. When the bag is sealed, the cargo list is sealed together with the goods in the packaging bag, which can prevent the cargo list from being damaged and facilitate the user to verify the product information after receiving the goods.

[0100] In this embodiment, see Figure 5 As shown, the baler may further include an anti-stuck cargo portion 1241 arranged corresponding to the loading cargo bucket 124, and the anti-stuck cargo portion 1241 is used to drive the cargo to move to prevent the cargo from being stuck.

[0101] In one embodiment, the anti-stuck portion 1241 includes a lifting mechanism corresponding to the lower portion of the loading bucket. The lifting mechanism is used to lift stuck goods in the bucket upward to remove the jam. After the jam is removed, the jammed goods fall into the open packing bag, and the lifting mechanism can then return to its initial position. When new jams occur, the lifting mechanism moves upward again to lift the jammed goods upward to remove the jam.

[0102] In another embodiment, the anti-stuck cargo unit includes a rollover drive mechanism disposed corresponding to the lower portion of the loading bucket. The rollover drive mechanism may include a drive motor and a flipping structure. The motor drives the flipping structure to flip upward from bottom to top, applying force to the stuck cargo in the bucket, causing the cargo to roll over and unblock the cargo. Once unblocked, the stuck cargo falls into the open packaging bag, and the rollover drive mechanism then flips back to its original position.

[0103] Preferably, an artificial intelligence (AI) visual recognition component may be included to collect image data of the anti-cargo jamming unit to obtain cargo jam information and / or cargo jam release information of the anti-cargo jamming unit.

[0104] In a specific implementation, the AI ​​visual recognition component may include a camera and an image recognition system. The camera is used to capture image data of the anti-stuck goods unit and transmit the image data to the image recognition system. The image recognition system is used to identify the jammed goods in the image data and transmit the identified information to the controller and / or an associated terminal.

[0105] Considering that the plastic bag may be rolled into the gap between the traction rollers and cause the bag to get stuck, the packaging assembly may further include an anti-bag jam structure 126, which is used to prevent the plastic packaging bag from getting rolled into the gap between the traction rollers.

[0106] Continue to see Figure 5 As shown, the anti-bag jam structure 126 is a structural member with multiple tooth-like protrusions. The anti-bag jam structure 126 is preferably made of sheet metal, and the multiple tooth-like protrusions 1261 thereon form a protective barrier in the plastic packing bag output direction of the traction rubber roller to prevent the plastic packing bags from being rolled into the gap of the traction roller assembly.

[0107] In this embodiment, the cabinet is equipped with an air compressor as a driver. The air compressor is connected to and controlled by a controller. The controller controls the operation of the air compressor to drive the various components of the automatic packaging machine. The use of air compressors for bag conveying, bag opening, bag sealing, and bag cutting is conventional technology and will not be further described here.

[0108] Preferably, the controller is capable of communicating with an associated user terminal, feeding back shipping information to the associated user terminal, and receiving remote control instructions from the associated user terminal.

[0109] If needed, the baler can be equipped with a monitoring system to monitor the baling process and transmit this information to a controller. Based on this information, the controller can stop the baling assembly if it detects a bag jam and send a warning message indicating a bag jam to an associated user terminal.

[0110] Optionally, the monitoring system can also monitor the tightness of the plastic bag roll as it is being discharged. If wrinkles or folds are detected on the bag, the system will control the packaging assembly to stop and send a warning message indicating a discharge obstruction to the associated user terminal. To prevent high temperatures from causing plastic bags to stick together and become stuck, the automatic packaging machine can also be equipped with a cooling mechanism to reduce the temperature of the plastic bags during discharge and transportation.

[0111] In this embodiment, the packing machine may further include a lattice cabinet. The lattice cabinet may form a plurality of pickup ports for temporarily storing packages to be packed and shipped.

[0112] The lattice cabinet and the automatic baler cabinet are integrated. In this case, the lattice cabinet and the automatic baler cabinet can be installed in the same cabinet and controlled by the same controller. Alternatively, the lattice cabinet and the automatic baler cabinet are installed separately. In this case, the lattice cabinet and the automatic baler are installed in different cabinets and each is controlled by an independent controller.

[0113] The lattice cabinet is provided with partitions arranged in a crisscross pattern inside the cabinet, and the partitions divide the storage compartment of the lattice cabinet into a plurality of storage compartments (or grids), each of which forms a storage space for placing packages.

[0114] Preferably, it can also include a mobile loading module, preferably a lifting trolley, which is used to receive the packaging bags packaged by the automatic packaging machine and transfer the packaging bags to storage boxes of different heights in the grid cabinet.

[0115] Taking into account the storage requirements of special goods, such as medicines, the grid cabinet and / or automatic packaging machine cabinet may also be provided with a temperature and / or humidity regulating device for regulating the ambient temperature and / or humidity parameters in the grid cabinet and the automatic packaging machine cabinet.

[0116] The temperature and / or humidity regulating device is used to regulate the ambient temperature and / or humidity parameters in each cabinet.

[0117] Taking a temperature and humidity control device capable of adjusting both temperature and humidity as an example, the device may include a heating structure, a cooling structure, a dehumidification structure, and a humidification structure disposed within the corresponding cabinet. The heating structure, cooling structure, dehumidification structure, and humidification structure are connected to a controller via a heating drive circuit, a cooling drive circuit, a dehumidification drive circuit, and a humidification drive circuit, respectively. The controller controls the opening and closing of the heating structure, cooling structure, dehumidification structure, and humidification structure via each drive circuit to adjust the temperature and / or humidity within the corresponding cabinet.

[0118] The heating structure can be one or more of a resistance heater, an electromagnetic heater, and an infrared heater. In this embodiment, a resistance heater is preferably used. This heating method utilizes current passing through an electric heating element to release heat to heat the blank.

After the aforementioned static-eliminating automatic packaging machine is installed in the automatic medicine vending machine or the automatic medicine dispensing machine, the medicines to be shipped can be automatically packaged by the static-eliminating automatic packaging machine.

[0128] Other features of the static-eliminating automatic packaging machine are described in the previous embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0129] Another embodiment of the present invention further provides a smart store warehouse, in which shelves are provided for storing goods.

[0130] See also Figure 6As shown, the smart store warehouse 10 can specifically be an unmanned retail store, which is equipped with shelves 11, intelligent robots 12 and an automatic packaging and shipping system 13.

[0131] The shelves 11 can be ordinary shelves or smart shelves. The unmanned retail store is closed, that is, consumers cannot enter the unmanned retail store.

[0132] The intelligent robot 12 can move in the store warehouse, and according to the received shipping order, take the goods from the shelf 11 of the store warehouse and put them into the automatic packaging and shipping system.

[0133] The manner in which the intelligent robot 12 picks up goods from the shelf 11 includes the intelligent robot 12 actively taking the goods from the shelf, and also includes the intelligent robot 12 picking up the goods that fall from the shelf after docking with the shelf. Among them, when the shelf adopts an ordinary shelf, the intelligent robot can directly pick up the goods on the shelf through the picking mechanism. Specifically, the picking robot arm can be provided with a suction cup grabbing structure and / or a clamping claw grabbing structure as a picking mechanism. Preferably, there are two picking robot arms, which are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the robot trunk, one robot arm is provided with a suction cup grabbing structure, and the other robot arm is provided with a clamping claw grabbing structure. The control circuit of each robot arm is connected to the controller, and the controller controls the robot arm to absorb or clamp the goods from the shelf.

[0134] When the shelves are smart shelves, the shelves are provided with automatic delivery lanes that can automatically deliver goods, including but not limited to ramp lanes, spring spiral lanes, crawler lanes, push-plate lanes, hook lanes, etc., and the goods are placed in the automatic delivery lanes. The smart shelves are docked with the intelligent robots, and the automatic delivery lanes are controlled by the main controller and can deliver goods under the control of the main controller. The delivered goods enter the picking mechanism of the intelligent robot, thereby completing the picking from the shelves. Preferably, the picking mechanism includes a picking tray or a picking bucket, and the picked tray or the picking bucket is used to obtain the goods shipped in the delivery lane.

[0135] Specifically, the intelligent robot 12 may include a controller, a travel unit, and a pickup arm. Both the travel unit and the pickup arm are connected to and controlled by the controller. Upon receiving a shipment order from a system server or a user terminal, the intelligent robot controller controls the movement of the travel unit and the pickup arm based on the purchased goods in the shipment order, moving the robot to a shelf location to retrieve and distribute the goods.

[0136] The traveling portion includes a displacement structure for realizing the position movement of the robot. The displacement structure, by way of example and not limitation, may be a humanoid leg structure, casters, etc. The displacement structure may move in a track-based motion or a trackless motion. When a track-based motion is adopted, a track needs to be set up in the store. Preferably, the displacement structure in this embodiment adopts movable casters, which are driven by a motor. The intelligent robot moves between the shelves via casters, and the controller controls the movement of the picking robot arm according to the received shipping order to pick up the goods from the shelf and then put them into the automatic packaging and shipping system 13.

[0137] A height adjustment unit may be provided between the robot's torso and the travel unit. This height adjustment unit adjusts the height of the robot's torso, thereby adjusting the height of the robotic arm. By way of example and not limitation, the height adjustment unit may be a humanoid leg-like structure (with joints that adjust height by bending), a telescopic structure, or a folding lift structure (such as a scissor lift). This is not intended to be limiting.

[0138] After the goods are packaged by the automatic delivery machine of the automatic packaging and delivery system 13, the intelligent robot can pick up the packaged packages. Alternatively, after the automatic delivery machine packages the goods, a package transport mechanism, such as a transport cart or a conveyor belt, can transport the packages to the grid cabinet for user pickup.

[0139] The user may be, for example, a goods purchaser or a courier.

[0140] In this embodiment, an unmanned transport and handover section may be further included, and an intelligent robot may pick up the package and place it into the unmanned transport and handover section, or the package may be transported by the aforementioned package transfer structure and placed into the unmanned transport and handover section.

[0141] The package is transferred to the unmanned vehicle or drone for delivery through the unmanned transport handover unit. Figure 7 As shown. By way of example and not limitation, the unmanned transport interface can utilize a conveyor belt, the output of which can be connected to an unmanned vehicle or drone. Once the unmanned vehicle or drone is parked, the conveyor belt transfers the package to the unmanned transport vehicle's cargo box or to the drone's pickup location.

[0142] Preferably, the automatic packaging and shipping system can also be connected to the e-commerce information system and / or the O2O (full name Online To Offline) delivery platform system to communicate with each other for information exchange.

[0143] Specifically, the system can obtain shipment order information (including purchase orders and pickup orders) from the e-commerce information system and / or O2O delivery platform system and transmit the packaged shipment information to the aforementioned e-commerce information system and / or O2O delivery platform system. The e-commerce information system and / or O2O delivery platform system can then transmit the pickup information to the delivery user terminal—such as the terminal held by the courier—notifying them to pick up the goods from the automatic delivery machine for delivery.
