The carton bottom plate placing device moves the carton bottom plates placed on one side of the carton conveyor line and places them inside the cartons on the carton conveyor line.

[0009] The packing robot places the bagged wire bobbins into the carton with the bottom plate laid out. The carton filled with wire bobbins is further transported to the carton orifice plate placement device via the carton conveyor line. The carton orifice plate placement device moves the orifice plate placed on one side of the carton conveyor line and places it on the wire bobbins in the carton.

The carton filled with the orifice plate is further transported to the carton sealing device 13 via the carton conveyor line 9. The carton sealing device 13 seals the carton on the carton conveyor line 9.

[0029] The packaged cartons are further transported through the carton conveyor line 9 to the labeling machine 14 , which labels the packaged cartons. The labeled cartons are then placed on different box support rows 16 by the sorting and stacking device 15 .

[0030] In some embodiments, the carton bottom plate placement device 10 includes a three-axis manipulator / gantry-type three-axis slide and a pneumatic suction cup.

[0031] In some embodiments, the loading robot 2 includes a three-axis / five-axis robot and a pneumatic shaft.

[0032] In some embodiments, the packing robot 11 includes a three-axis / five-axis robot and an air-expansion axis.

[0034] In some embodiments, the sorting and palletizing device 15 includes a three-axis / five-axis robot and a gripper.

[0035] In some embodiments, the carton sealing device 13 needs to realize functions such as pressing the carton, applying tape, and cutting tape, which can be achieved by an existing tape carton sealing machine, for example, a tape carton sealing machine that can be purchased from Shenzhen Gurki Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd.

[0036] In some embodiments, the unpacking robot 8 needs to realize functions such as box suction, box opening, forming, and placement, which can be done by existing unpacking machines, for example, an unpacking machine that can be purchased from Shenzhen Dayang Automation Equipment Co., Ltd., or "An automatic unpacking machine and unpacking method" disclosed in the publication (announcement) number: CN118419350A, whose box suction, box opening, and forming principles are the same as those of the unpacking robot 8 described in the present invention.

[0037] In some embodiments, the bagging device 7 is a bagging robot, which can be purchased from Tianjin Ideal Power Technology Co., Ltd. The principle thereof is as disclosed in "A bagging device for a paper tube packaging machine" in Publication (Announcement) No. CN118289292A.

[0038] The wire drum conveying line 3 and the carton conveying line 9 are both roller conveyors.

[0039] The label code is a barcode, a QR code or an RFID tag.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] In Example 1, the operating process of the automatic feeding, sorting, packing and palletizing system for high-performance polyethylene fibers is as follows:

[0042] 1. The loading robot 2 places the wire tubes 4 on the wire tube support array 1 onto the wire tube conveying line 3 according to the set order. The number of wire tubes placed each time can be 1 or more; in some embodiments, the wire tube conveying line 3 can be provided with a wire tube fixing base 54 (see Figure 2 ) Position the wire drum and maintain stable operation.

[0043] 2. A label code is attached to the inner wall of the wire drum 4. The label code carries product information and can be in the form of a barcode, a QR code, or an RFID tag. The product information corresponding to the label code can be stored in an information storage medium such as a database.

[0044] 3. The wire drum conveyor line 3 passes the wire drum 4 through the code scanning device 5; in some embodiments, the structure of the code scanning device 5 includes a laser scanning terminal 52, a lifting and rotating device 51, and a fixed bracket 53. The lifting and rotating device 51 includes a lifting cylinder and a rotating cylinder. The cylinder seat of the rotating cylinder is fixedly connected to the lifting end of the lifting cylinder, and the rotating end of the rotating cylinder is fixedly connected to the laser scanning terminal 52. The cylinder seat of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed bracket 53, and the lower end of the fixed bracket 53 is fixedly installed on the outside of the wire drum conveyor line 3.

[0045] The scanning process of the code scanning device 5 is as follows:

[0046] When the yarn bobbin reaches the scanning position, conveyance is paused. The laser scanning platform 52, driven by the lifting and rotating device 51, descends into the yarn bobbin and begins to rotate 360 ​​degrees. The laser scanning platform 52 captures the label code attached to the inner wall of the yarn bobbin and transmits the product information contained in the captured label code to the database via the communication module. The laser scanning platform is then driven by the lifting and rotating device 51 to lift the yarn bobbin upward and away from the yarn bobbin. The yarn bobbin conveyor line 3 is activated, and the yarn bobbin is conveyed to the next process.

[0047] 4. The scanned yarn reels 4 are passed through the yarn reel conveyor line 3 and delivered to different task buffers 6, thereby meeting different task requirements and ensuring continuous production. For example, in some embodiments, the multi-dimensional product information is compared with the tasks in the system based on dimensions such as specifications, strength, modulus, joint, weight, and priority. If a match is successful, the corresponding task buffer 6 is found.

[0048] The wire drums 4 are orderly transported out of the task buffer area 6 and into the bagging device 7 according to actual task requirements.

[0049] 5. The outer side of the yarn drum 4 is covered with a film in the bagging device 7 to meet the packing requirements.

[0050] 6. The unpacking robot 8 will unpack and fold the cartons placed outside the carton conveyor line 9 according to the instructions and then place them on the carton conveyor line 9.

[0051] 7. The bottom plate placing device 10 transports the carton bottom plate placed on one side of the carton conveyor line 9 and places it inside the carton on the carton conveyor line 9.

[0052] 8. The packing robot 11 places the bagged wire bobbins 4 into the finished carton on the bottom. The packing robot 11 can grab one or more wire bobbins at a time. For example, the packing robot 11 uses a three-axis manipulator to grab the air shaft, move the air shaft into the wire bobbins, open the air shaft, and press it against the inner wall of the wire bobbins. The friction with the inner wall of the wire bobbins moves the wire bobbins, and after placing them into the carton, the air shaft closes and separates from the wire bobbins. The three-axis manipulator then removes the air shaft, completing the entire packing process.

[0053] 9. The carton filled with the wire bobbins is sent to the orifice plate placement device 12 by the carton conveyor line 9. The orifice plate placement device 12 places the corresponding orifice plate on the wire bobbins in the carton to prevent friction and collision between the wire bobbins.

[0054] 10. The carton with the perforated plate installed enters the carton sealing device 13, which closes the carton and automatically applies adhesive tape to the upper and lower gaps of the carton to seal the carton.

[0055] 11. The packaged cartons pass through the labeling machine 14 to generate label information. The labeling machine 14 prints out labels that meet the requirements through laser or inkjet printing, and sticks the labels to the specified positions of the cartons to complete the labeling.

[0056] 12. The labeled cartons enter the classification and palletizing device 15, which places the labeled cartons on different box support rows 16 to achieve the palletizing function.

[0057] 13. When the number of cartons on the box pallet 16 reaches the set requirement, an alarm or message prompt is triggered to prompt the workers to move the stacked cartons out of the warehouse.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] In Example 1, Figure 3 As shown, the section of the wire drum conveying line 3 close to the task buffer area 6 is the transition section 32, and the transition section 32 is provided with two sections. The task buffer area 6 is located between the two transition sections 32; the task buffer area 6 includes multiple roller conveying lines 61, and the conveying direction of the roller conveying line 61 is arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transition section 32.

[0060] The transition section 32 is provided with a rotating roller 31, which is used to transfer the wire tube 4 on the transition section 32 to the lifting transmission rack 33 on the roller conveyor line 61. The lifting transmission rack 33 includes a rack, a gear for driving the rack to reciprocate, and a cylinder for driving the gear to lift and lower. The rack is located in the gap between the two rotating rollers 31.

[0061] In order to improve friction, the upper surface of the rack is provided with a pattern.

[0062] An infrared sensor 34 is provided on the outer side of the transition section 32 for detecting whether the wire drum 4 on the transition section 32 has reached a specified position.

[0063] In the task buffer area 6, the wire roll is sent to the corresponding cache position by the rotating roller 31, and the wire roll triggers the infrared sensor 34, the rotating roller 31 stops running, and the rack between the rotating rollers 31 that can be raised and lowered and moved back and forth rises. After the rack rises to a position 4-8 mm above the upper end of the rotating roller 31, the rack moves under the drive of the gear and sends the wire roll to the roller conveyor line 61 of the corresponding task buffer area 6. The task buffer area 6 can be provided with roller conveyor lines 61 according to the number of tasks; each task buffer area 6 can be provided with six roller conveyor lines 61, and different numbers of roller conveyor lines 61 can also be provided according to the number of wire rolls in a single box. According to the above settings, the task buffer area 6 can temporarily store a number of wire rolls 4 of different specifications and models at one time, thereby meeting the continuous production needs of different packings.

[0064] In addition, it should be understood that those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
