Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production line management technology, and in particular to a production line box data reading and cross-association system. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of building a digital information system for box packing on the production line, packaging boxes typically have digital information (such as QR codes, barcodes, and numeric codes) loaded onto them. These boxes move sequentially to their designated packaging box positions on the production line. The digital information of each package is then read through manual or automatic data collection and sent to the on-site industrial control computer for data processing. Based on the number of boxes a packaging box can hold, the boxes are then manually or automatically loaded into the packaging box. In this way, the information system in the on-site industrial control computer can easily establish a data correspondence between the digital information of the packaging box and the digital information of the corresponding packaging box.

[0003] However, the packing methods and data correspondences between packaging boxes and cartons on the production line are not always as simple as described above; they are often quite complex. For example, several packaging boxes with different numbers are packed into several different cartons. However, accurately obtaining the number of the packaging boxes in each carton cannot be achieved through simple manual or automatic data collection (conventional data collection directly assigns sequential numbers to the packaging boxes packed into the corresponding cartons, but it cannot ensure that packaging boxes numbered 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9 are packed into carton 1, and packaging boxes numbered 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12 are packed into carton 2).

[0004] Existing technologies addressing the aforementioned problems typically rely on manual sorting for boxing. However, manual sorting is highly prone to errors and extremely inefficient. Therefore, it is essential to adopt corresponding information collection and correlation methods based on the production line's operational procedures to effectively address the construction of an information system for packaging boxing, thereby achieving information-based management of enterprise products across all production, distribution, and sales stages.

Attached Figure Description

[0040] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a production line box data recognition and cross-association system according to this application. Detailed Implementation

[0042] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0043] The packaging method described in this application involves packaging boxes loaded with digital information (such as QR codes, barcodes, and numeric codes). After data collection, these boxes are sequentially and simultaneously packed into two different packaging boxes, depending on the quantity being packed. For example, if a packaging box can hold 12 (or 16, or 20) boxes, each group of 6 boxes is further divided into two groups and packed into the two packaging boxes (e.g., boxes 1, 2, and 3 are packed into box 1, and boxes 4, 5, and 6 into box 2). When the second group of 6 boxes arrives, they are again divided into two groups and packed into the same two packaging boxes (e.g., boxes 7, 8, and 9 are packed into box 1, and boxes 10, 11, and 12 into box 2). This process is repeated four times, requiring 24 boxes to fill both packaging boxes.

[0044] Finally, the packaging boxes in the first package were numbered as follows: (1, 2, 3); (7, 8, 9); (13, 14, 15); (19, 20, 21). The packaging boxes in the second package were numbered as follows: (4, 5, 6); (10, 11, 12); (16, 17, 18); (22, 23, 24).

[0045] Therefore, when the second group of 24 packaging boxes arrives at the packing position after being digitally collected, they are packed into the third and fourth boxes in the same way.

[0046] This cycle is repeated to achieve the same packing process, and while the packaging boxes are being placed into the corresponding boxes, the digital information on the packaging boxes is linked to the digital information on the boxes.

[0047] Based on the above problems, this application provides the following embodiments.

[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a production line box data recognition and cross-association system according to this application.

[0049] See Figure 1 As can be seen, this embodiment provides a production line box and carton data recognition and cross-association system, the system comprising:

[0050] The packaging box production line 100 and the packaging box production line 200 are arranged in parallel. The packaging box production line 100 is configured to transport packaging boxes in a preset direction, and the packaging box production line 200 is configured to transport packaging boxes in a preset direction. All packaging boxes are open at the top.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the packaging box production line 100 is used to transport the packaging box along a preset direction, and the packaging box production line 200 is used to transport the packaging box along a preset direction. The packaging box production line 100 and the packaging box production line 200 provide the moving object and the moving target position for this embodiment.

[0052] The system also includes:

[0053] A data acquisition component 300 is configured to acquire first digital information of all the packaging boxes and second digital information of the packaging boxes; the first digital information includes a first serial number of the packaging box, and the second digital information includes a second serial number of the packaging box, wherein the first serial number is used to represent the sequence position of the corresponding packaging box among all the packaging boxes, and the second serial number is used to represent the sequence position of the corresponding packaging box among all the packaging boxes.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the data acquisition component 300 collects digital information of each of the packaging boxes and each of the packaging cartons, and summarizes the location of each of the packaging boxes and each of the packaging cartons in all the packaging boxes based on the digital information.

[0055] The data acquisition component 300 can also match each of the packaging boxes and each of the packaging containers to be packed into the packaging boxes.

[0056] The system also includes:

[0057] A transmission mechanism assembly 400 is mounted on both sides of the packaging box production line 100 and the packaging box production line 200. The transmission mechanism assembly 400 is configured to move a preset number of packaging boxes into corresponding packaging boxes according to corresponding control commands, until the number of packaging boxes in the packaging box reaches a maximum number; the preset number is less than the maximum number; the control commands are obtained based on the first digital information and the second digital information, and the control commands include the correspondence between the second serial number and the first serial number.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmission mechanism assembly 400 is used to transfer the packaging box into the packaging carton. Because data cross-correlation exists in some operational situations, the assembly method for the packaging box differs somewhat from conventional assembly schemes. Specifically, the conventional packaging box assembly method typically involves moving the packaging box into a packaging carton until all packaging boxes in a certain sequence are placed into the same carton. However, in this embodiment, each packaging box and each packaging carton is sequentially numbered, and the packaging box with the corresponding sequence number is placed into the packaging carton with the corresponding sequence number. Furthermore, each movement of packaging boxes can move one or more boxes simultaneously. This not only achieves data identification and cross-correlation of boxes on the production line but also greatly expands the assembly methods.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the data acquisition component 300 includes:

[0060] A box photoelectric switch 310 is disposed on one side of the packaging box production line 200, and the box photoelectric switch 310 is configured to generate a first signal when the packaging box reaches a first designated position;

[0061] A box digital reader 320 is disposed on one side of the packaging box production line 200. The box digital reader 320 is disposed on the side facing the packaging box information code. The box digital reader 320 is configured to acquire information of the packaging box information code according to the first signal, thereby acquiring the second digital information corresponding to the packaging box.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the box photoelectric switch 310 is installed on the side of the packaging box production line 200 to detect the passing of packaging boxes and transmit the status of the passing packaging boxes to the control system of the on-site industrial control computer 500. The control system can then control the box digital reader 320 to scan and collect information, and simultaneously control the system to count the packaging boxes. The packaging boxes stop moving when they reach the box stop plate 460. When the number of packaging boxes counted reaches the number of boxes to be picked up in one grab, for example, 6 boxes, the system will perform operations such as picking up the packaging boxes and packing them into boxes.

[0063] The box digital reader 320 is used to read the digital information of packaging boxes passing through the packaging box production line. When the box photoelectric switch 310 detects that a packaging box has passed through the production line, it sends a detection signal to the field industrial control computer 500. The field industrial control computer 500 then controls the box digital reader 320 to read the digital information on the packaging box and saves it in the system of the field industrial control computer 500 for the correspondence and association of digital information between the packaging box and the packaging box to be packed.

[0064] The box blocking plate 460 is fixedly installed on the packaging box conveyor line of the packaging box production line 200. The field control computer 500 is configured to generate corresponding control commands based on the first digital information and the second digital information. The control commands are used to drive the transmission mechanism assembly 400 to move a corresponding number of packaging boxes into the corresponding packaging carton.

[0065] The data acquisition component 300 also includes:

[0066] A box photoelectric switch 330 is disposed on one side of the packaging box production line 100, and the box photoelectric switch 330 is configured to generate a second signal when the packaging box reaches a second designated position;

[0067] A box digital reader 340 is disposed on one side of the packaging box production line 100. The box digital reader 340 is disposed on the side facing the packaging box information code. The box digital reader 340 is configured to acquire information of the packaging box information code according to the second signal, thereby acquiring the first digital information corresponding to the packaging box.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the photoelectric switch 330 is installed on the side of the packaging box production line 100 to detect the passage of packaging boxes and transmit the status of the passing packaging boxes to the control system of the on-site industrial control computer 500. The control system can then control the box digital reader 340 to scan the barcode and collect information. At the same time, the control system counts the packaging boxes. The packaging box stops moving when it reaches the box stop. When the number of packaging boxes counted reaches the number of boxes to be packed at one time, for example, 2 boxes, the system performs operations such as grabbing the packaging box and packing it into a box.

[0069] The box digital reader 340 is used to read the digital information of open packaging boxes passing through the packaging box production line. When the box photoelectric switch 330 detects a packaging box passing through the production line, it sends a detection signal to the field industrial control computer 500. The field industrial control computer 500 then controls the box digital reader 340 to read the digital information on the packaging box and saves it in the system of the field industrial control computer 500 for the correspondence and association of digital information between the packaging box and the packaging box to be packed.

[0070] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the transmission mechanism assembly 400 includes:

[0071] The column assembly 410 includes a first column 411, a second column 412, a third column 413, and a fourth column 414. The first column 411 and the second column 412 are disposed on the side of the packaging box production line 200 away from the packaging carton production line 100, and the third column 413 and the fourth column 414 are disposed on the side of the packaging carton production line 100 away from the packaging box production line 200.

[0072] The crossbeam assembly 420 includes a first crossbeam 421 and a second crossbeam 422 arranged in parallel. The two ends of the first crossbeam 421 are respectively connected to the top of the first column 411 and the top of the third column 413. The two ends of the second crossbeam 422 are respectively connected to the top of the second column 412 and the top of the fourth column 414.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first column 411, the third column 413, and the first beam 421 constitute a first fixed truss. The first fixed truss spans the packaging box production line 200 and the packaging carton production line 100 and is fixedly connected by fixed connecting rods 470 at both ends. The fixed connecting rods 470 are arranged between the first column 411 and the second column 412, and the fixed connecting rods 470 ensure that the span distance of the horizontal moving mechanism 430 remains constant.

[0074] The second column 412, the fourth column 414 and the second beam 422 constitute the second fixed truss. The second fixed truss is installed opposite to the first fixed truss and spans the packaging box production line 200 and the packaging carton production line 100.

[0075] The transmission mechanism assembly 400 further includes:

[0076] At least two sets of horizontal moving mechanisms 430 are slidably connected between the first crossbeam 421 and the second crossbeam 422. The horizontal moving mechanism 430 is configured to move horizontally according to the control command. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first crossbeam 421 and the second crossbeam 422 are provided with toothed grooves on the side away from the ground. The horizontal moving mechanism 430 is slidably connected between the first crossbeam 421 and the second crossbeam 422 through the toothed grooves on the crossbeams.

[0077] The horizontal moving mechanism 430 includes:

[0078] A horizontally movable crossbeam 431, the two ends of which are slidably connected to the toothed grooves of the first crossbeam 421 and the second crossbeam 422, respectively.

[0079] A first horizontal moving motor 432 is disposed at one end of the horizontal moving beam 431. The first horizontal moving motor 432 is configured to drive the horizontal moving beam 431 to move along the extension direction of the first beam 421 according to the control command.

[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment, the horizontally moving crossbeam 431 is installed between the horizontally fixed crossbeams at the top of the first fixed truss and the second fixed truss, and is perpendicular to both of them. It moves horizontally back and forth on the gear groove through a gear moving mechanism.

[0081] The first horizontal moving motor 432 is used to control the horizontal moving beam 431 to move back and forth above the packaging box production line 100 and the packaging box production line 200.

[0082] The transmission mechanism assembly 400 further includes:

[0083] At least two sets of vertical moving mechanisms 440, each corresponding to a horizontal moving mechanism 430, wherein the vertical moving mechanism 440 is connected to the horizontal moving mechanism 430, and the vertical moving mechanism 440 is configured to move in the vertical direction according to the control command.

[0084] At least two sets of adsorption structures 450 are provided, each of which corresponds to a vertical moving mechanism 440. The adsorption structure 450 is disposed at the bottom end of the vertical moving mechanism 440. The adsorption structure 450 is configured to adsorb the preset number of packaging boxes on the packaging box production line 200 according to the control command, and to place the packaging box in the packaging box when the vertical moving mechanism 440 moves to the third designated position corresponding to the packaging box.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the vertical moving mechanism 440 is fixedly connected to the horizontal moving mechanism 430, and moves vertically through the internal structure of the vertical moving mechanism 440. The adsorption structure 450 is moved to a designated position by the horizontal moving mechanism 430 and the vertical moving mechanism 440, and a preset number of packaging boxes are adsorbed by the adsorption structure 450. Similarly, the horizontal moving mechanism 430 and the vertical moving mechanism 440 are again driven to move to a designated position on the top of the packaging box, and the packaging box is placed in a designated position in the packaging box by the adsorption structure 450.

[0086] The vertical moving mechanism 440 includes:

[0087] Upright transmission block 441, which is connected to the horizontal moving crossbeam 431;

[0088] A vertically movable upright 442 is slidably connected to the upright transmission block 441, and the vertically movable upright 442 extends in the vertical direction;

[0089] A vertical moving motor 443 is mounted on the upright transmission block 441. The vertical moving motor 443 is configured to drive the upright transmission block 441 to move horizontally and drive the vertical moving upright 442 to move vertically according to the control command.

[0090] The adsorption structure 450 includes:

[0091] Adsorption manipulator 451, wherein the adsorption manipulator 451 is disposed at the bottom end of the vertically movable pole 442;

[0092] A vacuum pump 452 is disposed on one side of the adsorption manipulator 451. The vacuum pump 452 is configured to provide a vacuum source to the adsorption manipulator 451 according to the control command, and to stop providing a vacuum source to the adsorption manipulator 451 when the adsorption manipulator 451 reaches the third designated position.

[0093] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first horizontal moving motor 432 is used to control the horizontal moving beam 431 to move back and forth above the packaging box production line 100 and the packaging box production line 200, and at the same time transport the packaging box grasped by the suction robot 451 to the top of the packaging box.

[0094] When the pole transmission block 441 receives instructions from the field industrial control computer 500 of the control system, it controls the vertically moving pole 442 to rise and fall, thereby completing the packaging box gripping operation of the packaging box production line 200 and the packaging box packing operation of the packaging carton production line 100.

[0095] The vertical moving motor 443 is used to control the pole transmission block 441, so that it operates the raising and lowering of the vertical moving pole 442.

[0096] The suction robot 451 is installed at the end of the vertical moving rod 442 and connected to the vacuum pump 452. When the suction robot 451 contacts the surface of the packaging box, the control system controls the vacuum pump 452 to work, suctioning the number of packaging boxes (e.g., 3), picking up the packaging boxes, and waiting to be packed into the packaging box.

[0097] The vacuum pump 452 is connected to the suction robot 451. When the detection system detects that the suction robot 451 has reached the surface of the packaging box, the control system controls the vacuum pump 452 to operate, creating a vacuum in the air supply of the suction robot 451, which then picks up the packaging box. When the packaging box is moved to a position above an empty packaging box, the control system controls the vacuum pump 452 to stop operating, and the air supply of the suction robot 451 returns to normal pressure, thus releasing the packaging box and completing the packing process.

[0098] When the horizontal moving beam 431 reaches above the packaging box production line, the on-site industrial control computer 500 controls the upright transmission block 441 to lower the vertical moving upright 442 towards the packaging box position. When the suction robot 451 contacts the surface of the packaging box, the control system controls the vacuum pump 452 to vacuum-adsorb the packaging box. Then, the vertical moving upright 442 rises again under the control of the upright transmission block 441, waiting to move above the packaging box production line 100 for the boxing operation.

[0099] It should be noted that the packaging box is a pre-packaged box with a QR code. It is conveyed forward on the packaging box production line 200, sequentially passing through a box photoelectric switch 310 for detection and a box digital reader 320 for scanning, before reaching the loading position to await picking and packing. The QR code on the packaging box is used to record information about the box, enabling information association with the packaging carton and then with the pallet information. This allows the company to achieve information management of its products, including production, warehousing, logistics, and sales of each packaging box.

[0100] The packaging boxes are open, empty boxes with QR codes. They are conveyed forward on the packaging production line, sequentially passing through a photoelectric switch 330 for detection and a digital reader 340 for scanning, before reaching the loading position to await boxing. The QR codes on the packaging boxes are used to record information about the boxes, enabling association with packaging information and, consequently, pallet information. This allows the company to manage the production, warehousing, logistics, and sales of each packaging box through information technology.

[0101] The process of reading and cross-referencing box data on the production line includes:

[0102] Finished packaging boxes loaded with digital information such as QR codes, barcodes, and digital codes move from left to right on the packaging box production line 200 in the direction of the arrows.

[0103] When the photoelectric switch 310 detects that the packaging box has passed through, it sends the detection signal to the on-site industrial control computer 500, which then sends a scanning control signal to the box digital reader 320.

[0104] After the box digital reader 320 reads the digital information of the packaging box, it transmits the collected digital information to the on-site industrial control computer 500, which then saves it to the database system for data processing of the packaging box information.

[0105] After the code is read, the packaging box moves forward and stops at the box stop plate at 460 degrees. When the number of boxes to be read reaches the quantity required for one packing, such as 6 boxes, it awaits the packing operation.

[0106] Open empty packaging boxes loaded with digital information such as QR codes, barcodes, and digital codes move forward from left to right on the packaging box production line 100 in the direction of the arrows.

[0107] When the photoelectric switch 330 detects that the packaging box has passed through, it sends the detection signal to the on-site industrial control computer 500, which then sends a scanning control signal to the box digital reader 340.

[0108] After the digital information of the packaging box is read by the digital reader 340, the collected digital information is transmitted to the on-site industrial control computer 500, which then saves it to the database system for data processing of the packaging box information.

[0109] After the code is read, the packaging box moves forward and stops when it reaches the box passage cylinder, where it is blocked by the cylinder piston rod. When the number of codes to be read reaches the number of boxes to be packed in one operation, such as two boxes, it awaits the box loading process.

[0110] While waiting for the packaging boxes and cartons to be scanned, the control system in the on-site industrial control computer 500 controls the horizontal moving mechanism 430 to keep the horizontal moving beam 431 directly above the packaging box production line 200. When the number of packaging boxes reaches the required quantity for one packing, such as 6 boxes, the control system controls the vertical moving mechanism 440 to perform the packaging box grabbing operation.

[0111] When the number of boxes to be packed reaches the required quantity, the control system controls the vertical movement motor 443 of the vertical movement mechanism 440 to operate the vertical movement pole 442 through the pole transmission block 441, which drives the suction robot arm 451 to descend onto the boxes to be packed.

[0112] The control system then controls the vacuum pump 452 to operate, ensuring that the air supply to the suction robot 451 and the vacuum pump 452 is in a vacuum state. Each suction robot corresponds to 3 packaging boxes, and under the action of the vacuum pump, it simultaneously suctions and picks up 6 packaging boxes together.

[0113] The control system raises the upright transmission block 441 to its highest position and stops it. At this time, the control system then controls the first horizontal moving motor 432 to work, driving the horizontal moving beam 431 to move upwards above the packaging box production line 100.

[0114] When the horizontal moving beam 431 moves to the top of the packaging box production line 100, it stops. According to the position of each box being packed, the control system then controls the vertical transmission block 441 to move downward above the packaging box.

[0115] When the suction robot 451 is in the correct position for each packing, the control system controls the vacuum pump 452 to stop working and cut off the vacuum source. As a result, the suction robot 451 loses its suction force on the packaging box and drops the 6 packaging boxes into different boxes in three groups, thus completing one packing cycle.

[0116] Then, the control system controls the vertical moving mechanism 440 to raise the upright transmission block 441 to the top. Then it controls the horizontal moving mechanism 430 to return the horizontal moving beam 431 back to the top of the packaging box production line 200, waiting for the next round of packing work cycle.

[0117] If each box is filled with 12 boxes, then four round trips to fill the boxes will allow you to fill two boxes simultaneously.

[0118] Once both boxes are filled, the control system activates the box-passing cylinder, causing the piston rod to retract. The two full boxes then continue moving along the conveyor line to the subsequent sealing and palletizing stages.

[0119] By continuously cycling through the packaging boxes, the packaging boxes on the packaging box production line 200 can be continuously loaded into the packaging boxes on the packaging carton production line 100, completing the entire process of sequentially scanning the packaging boxes, cross-packing, and cross-corresponding digital association.

[0120] For example, the cross-association rules for digital data collection of boxed cartons:

[0121] The packaging box loaded with QR code digital information is connected to the box photoelectric switch 310 and the box digital reader 320. The box digital reader 320 reads the digital information (such as QR code) on each box in turn and sends it to the on-site industrial control computer 500 for information processing.

[0122] The packaging box stops moving after reaching the box stop plate at 460 degrees. When the number of packaging boxes reaches the length of 2 boxes, for example, if each box can hold 3 (or 4) boxes in the length direction, then the 2 boxes need to hold 6 (or 8) boxes in the length direction. Here, we take 3 boxes as the length unit.

[0123] The on-site industrial control computer 500 controls the horizontal moving mechanism 430 to move, so that the adsorption robot 451 reaches directly above the packaging box production line 200. At the same time, it controls the two vertical moving mechanisms 440 to move downward and stop above the packaging boxes. Then, it controls the two adsorption robots 451 to each adsorb and grab 3 packaging boxes.

[0124] The on-site industrial control computer 500 controls two vertical moving mechanisms 440 to move upward, and then controls the horizontal moving mechanism 430 to move to the top of the two packaging boxes. Then, according to the set position, it controls the two vertical moving mechanisms 440 to move downward, and put the two sets of 6-box packaging boxes into the two packaging boxes respectively.

[0125] If each box can hold 12 boxes, repeat the above process 4 times to pack 24 boxes into two boxes at the same time.

[0126] Packing box counting and association rules:

[0127] Assuming each box contains 12 boxes, then to complete the packing of 2 boxes (24 boxes in total) simultaneously, the suction robot arm needs to perform 4 grabs.

[0128] Assumption:

[0129] The number of packaging boxes is m, and the count values ​​are: m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, m7, m8, m9, m10, ...;

[0130] The number of boxes in every 24 is M, and the count values ​​are as follows: M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M9, M10, Mn;

[0131] Then: M1=m1+m2; M2=m3+m4; M3=m5+m6; M4=m7+m8; M5=m9+m10;…;

[0132] Assumption:

[0133] The number of packaging boxes is n, and the count values ​​are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, n;

[0134] The number of boxes in every 3 packages is N, and the number of counting groups is N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N9, N10, Nn.

[0135] Therefore: N1 = 3 (0 < n / 3 ≤ 1); N3 = 3 (2 < n / 3 ≤ 3); N5 = 3 (4 < n / 3 ≤ 5); N7 = 3 (6 < n / 3 ≤ 7). These four groups, totaling 12 boxes, are packed into the first box m1, i.e., m1 = N1 + N3 + N5 + N7. The QR code information of these 12 boxes is associated with the QR code information of the packaging box m1 in the system.

[0136] N2 = 3 (1 < n / 3 ≤ 2); N4 = 3 (3 < n / 3 ≤ 4); N6 = 3 (5 < n / 3 ≤ 6); N8 = 3 (7 < n / 3 ≤ 8). These four groups, totaling 12 boxes, are packed into the second box m2, i.e., m2 = N2 + N4 + N6 + N8. The QR code information of these 12 boxes is associated with the QR code information of the packaging box m2 in the system.

[0137] In the first group of 24 boxes, M1 = m1 + m2.

[0138] in conclusion:

[0139] In the first group of 24 boxes M1, i.e., 0 < n / 24 ≤ 1, m1 = N1 + N3 + N5 + N7; m2 = N2 + N4 + N6 + N8; and M1 = m1 + m2.

[0140] That is: in each group of 24 boxes, n / 3, the quotients with remainders are even and the quotients without remainders are odd, a total of 12, are placed in the corresponding odd-numbered boxes m1;

[0141] Quotients with remainders are odd, and quotients without remainders are even. A total of 12 packaging boxes are placed in the corresponding even-numbered packaging box m2. The corresponding QR code digital information in the system is also linked accordingly.

[0142] Based on this principle:

[0143] In the second group of 24 boxes M2, i.e., 1 < n / 24 ≤ 2, m3 = N9 + N11 + N13 + N15;

[0144] m4 = N10 + N12 + N14 + N16; and M2 = m3 + m4.

[0145] That is: in every group of 24 boxes, n / 3, the quotients with remainders are even, and the quotients without remainders are odd. There are a total of 12 boxes, which are placed in the corresponding odd-numbered boxes m3.

[0146] Quotients with remainders are odd, and quotients without remainders are even. A total of 12 boxes are placed in the corresponding even-numbered box m4, and the corresponding QR code information in the system is also linked accordingly.

[0147] It should be noted that the system and method sections use the example of placing 3 boxes into each of two boxes. In reality, there can be multiple boxes, and the corresponding number of robotic arms can also be set up. The number of boxes placed each time can be any number greater than 2.

[0148] The advantages of this embodiment include:

[0149] This embodiment simultaneously and repeatedly inserts packaging boxes loaded with digital information into two separate packaging cartons, ensuring accurate information correspondence and association between the digital information of the packaging boxes inserted into each carton and the digital information of the cartons they are inserted into. This achieves automated and rapid production of packaging boxes into cartons on the production line, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of the packaging box packing operation, as well as greatly enhancing the efficiency of enterprise information management and overall enterprise benefits.
