[0002] Automated packaging equipment can complete various packaging processes continuously and at high speed, significantly improving production efficiency. Compared with traditional manual packaging, automated equipment can greatly shorten packaging time and meet the needs of mass production. The application of automated packaging machinery can help enterprises achieve automation and intelligence in the production process, promote enterprise transformation and upgrading, and improve market competitiveness. Among them, carton packaging machines use formed cardboard to automatically and continuously package glass bottles, PET bottles, cans, wide-mouth bottles, etc., and are suitable for automated production lines for beer, beverages, condiments, food, etc.

[0003] Application announcement number CN102381494A discloses an automatic bottle and can packing machine. According to its instruction manual and drawings, the can sorting mechanism divides the bottles and cans into several rows, and the vacuum suction cup system pulls down the folded and flat cardboard boxes placed in the carton placement mechanism. During the descent, the carton is opened by the box blocking mechanism, and the side opening of the carton is aligned with the bottles and cans sorted into several rows. However, this packaging method is prone to causing the bottles and cans to tip over or not be properly installed in the carton, which brings inconvenience to the production process.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an automatic bottle sorting and packaging device includes a first conveying mechanism 1 for conveying bottles and a first bottle sorting mechanism 2 disposed on the surface of the first conveying mechanism 1. The first conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveying support frame 11, a first drive roller 12, a first conveyor belt 13, and a first drive motor 14. The first drive roller 12 is rotatably connected to both ends of the conveying support frame 11. The first conveyor belt 13 is connected to the surface of the first drive roller 12. At least one end of the first drive roller 12 is connected to the first drive motor 14 on one side of the conveying support frame 11. The first bottle sorting mechanism 2 includes a first bottle sorting bracket 21, a second bottle sorting bracket 22, a first support rod 23, a first guide plate 24, and a first telescopic cylinder 25. The first bottle sorting bracket 21 is slidably connected to both sides of the conveying support frame 11. The second bottle sorting bracket 22 is connected to both sides of the conveying support frame 11. The first support rod 23 is provided inside the first support rod 23. The surface of the first support rod 23 is connected to the first guide plate 24. The distance between adjacent first guide plates 24 is equal to the diameter of the bottle. The second bottle-sorting bracket 22 is provided with a first telescopic cylinder 25. The telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 25 is connected to the first bottle-sorting bracket 21. With this setting, the first telescopic cylinder 25 can control the first bottle-sorting bracket 21 to slide to a suitable position relative to the side of the conveyor support frame 11. The rotating shaft of the first drive motor 14 can drive the first drive roller 12 on the left to rotate. When the first drive roller 12 rotates, it can drive another first drive roller 12 to rotate, so that the first conveyor belt 13 drives the bottles on its surface to move. When the bottles pass through the first guide plates 24, since the gap between them can only allow one bottle to pass through, the vertical number and sorting of the bottles conveyed by the first conveyor belt 13 can become initially neat.

[0022] In this embodiment, a second bottle-sorting mechanism 3 is also provided on one side of the first bottle-sorting mechanism 2. A height screening mechanism 5 for screening excessively tall bottles is provided above the second bottle-sorting mechanism 3. A third bottle-sorting mechanism 4 with adjustable position is also provided on one side of the second bottle-sorting mechanism 3. Specifically, the second bottle-sorting mechanism 3 includes a third bottle-sorting bracket 31, a second support rod 32, and a second guide plate 33. A plurality of third bottle-sorting brackets 31 are connected to both sides of the conveying support frame 11. Each third bottle-sorting bracket 31 has a second support rod 32 inside. The surface of the bottle 32 is provided with a second guide plate 33, and the distance between adjacent second guide plates 33 is equal to the diameter of the bottle body. The third bottle-sorting mechanism 4 includes a fourth bottle-sorting bracket 41, a fourth support rod 42, a third guide plate 43, a push slider 44, and an adjusting turntable 45. The fourth bottle-sorting bracket 41 is connected to both sides of the conveying support frame 11. The fourth bottle-sorting bracket 41 is provided with a plurality of fourth support rods 42. The surface of the fourth support rod 42 is provided with a plurality of third guide plates 43 and a push slider 44. The push slider 44 is internally connected to an adjusting turntable 45 via a screw drive. The turntable 45 and the height screening mechanism 5 include a height screening support frame 51, a third support rod 52, and an arc plate 53. The height screening support frame 51 is connected to both sides of the conveying support frame 11. The height screening support frame 51 is provided with a third support rod 52, and the third support rod 52 is provided with several arc plates 53. The height difference between the arc plates 53 and the first conveyor belt 13 is equal to the height of the bottle. With this setting, the bottle can continue to be sorted as it passes through the gap between the adjacent second guide plate 33 and the third guide plate 43. This process makes the vertical quantity and sorting more orderly while conveying. The arc plate 53 limits the maximum height that the bottle conveyed on the surface of the first conveyor belt 13 can pass through. In daily use of the equipment, if some special situations are encountered, the turntable 45 can be rotated and adjusted to drive the slider 44 through the screw drive, thereby changing the position of the entire fourth support rod 42. This causes the ends of the third guide plate 43 and the ends of the second guide plate 33 to intersect, preventing the bottles conveyed later from continuing to move forward without shutting down the first conveying mechanism 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, a first packaging mechanism 6 is provided on one side of the third bottle unloading mechanism 4, a carton feeding port 7 is provided on one side of the first packaging mechanism 6, a carton folding mechanism 8 and a second conveying mechanism 9 for conveying packaged cartons are provided below the first packaging mechanism 6, the first packaging mechanism 6 includes a first packaging support 61, a second packaging support 62, a second telescopic cylinder 63, a fixing block 64 and a fourth guide plate 65, the second packaging support 62 is slidably connected to the surface of the first packaging support 61, the first packaging support 61 is connected to both sides of the conveying support frame 11, the second telescopic cylinder 63 is provided on one side of the first packaging support 61, and several fixing blocks are provided below the second packaging support 62. 64 and several fourth guide plates 65, the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 63 is connected to the fixed block 64 and the fourth guide plate 65, the carton folding mechanism 8 includes a folding support plate 82, a feeding baffle 81, a fourth guide plate 65, a first folding guide block 83 and a second folding guide block 84, the feeding baffle 81 and the folding support plate 82 are arranged on both sides of the conveying support frame 11 and below the fourth guide plate 65, the surface of the folding support plate 82 is also provided with the first folding guide block 83 and the second folding guide block 84, the second conveying mechanism 9 includes a second conveyor belt 91, a carton limiting block 92, a suction cup support frame 93 and a first suction cup 94, the second conveyor belt 91 is connected to the surface of the external drive roller, the second The surface of the conveyor belt 91 is provided with several box-shaped limiting blocks 92. The distance between adjacent box-shaped limiting blocks 92 is equal to the length of the packaged box. The second conveyor belt 91 also has lifting suction cup support frames 93 on both sides. Each suction cup support frame 93 has a first suction cup 94 on its surface. With this arrangement, the bottle will gradually be conveyed between adjacent fourth guide plates 65 after passing through several third guide plates 43. The suction cup support frames 93 move upwards, and then the carton is placed on the surface of the suction cup support frame 93 through the carton discharge port 7. Then, the telescopic shaft of the second telescopic cylinder 63 extends, causing the second packaging support 62 to slide relative to the surface of the first packaging support 61. The second packaging support 62 then drives the fixing block 64 and the fourth guide plate. When 65 moves, the gap between the adjacent fourth guide plate 65 also pushes the bottle inside the gap to change position. Since the position of the fourth guide plate 65 changes and is no longer flush with the third guide plate 43, the fourth guide plate 65 abuts against the conveyed bottle. At the same time, the carton can catch the bottle falling from the fourth guide plate 65 and the discharge baffle 81. The first suction cup 94 is suctioned to the bottom of the carton under pressure. Then the suction cup support frame 93 moves downward. The first folding guide block 83 and the second folding guide block 84 fold the sides of the carton. After the initial folding is completed, the carton falls between the adjacent box limiting blocks 92 and is finally conveyed to the next process by the second conveyor belt 91.

[0024] Working principle and usage of this utility model:

[0025] The first telescopic cylinder 25 controls the first bottle-scraping bracket 21 to slide to a suitable position relative to the side of the conveyor support frame 11. The shaft of the first drive motor 14 drives the first drive roller 12 on the left to rotate. When the first drive roller 12 rotates, it drives another first drive roller 12 to rotate, thereby causing the first conveyor belt 13 to move the bottles on its surface. When the bottles pass through several first guide plates 24, the gaps between them only allow one bottle to pass through at a time. This makes the vertical quantity and arrangement of the bottles conveyed by the first conveyor belt 13 initially neat. As the bottles continue to pass through the gaps between adjacent second guide plates 33 and third guide plates 43, they can be further arranged. This process is to make the vertical quantity and arrangement more neat while conveying. The arc plate 53 limits the maximum height that the bottles conveyed on the surface of the first conveyor belt 13 can pass through. After passing through several third guide plates 43, the bottles will gradually be conveyed to the adjacent fourth guide plates 65. The suction cup support frame 93 moves upward. The carton is then placed on the surface of the suction cup support frame 93 through the carton discharge port 7. Next, the telescopic shaft of the second telescopic cylinder 63 extends, causing the second packaging bracket 62 to slide relative to the surface of the first packaging bracket 61. The second packaging bracket 62 then causes the fixing block 64 and the fourth guide plate 65 to move. During this process, the gap between the adjacent fourth guide plates 65 also pushes the bottle inside the gap to change position. Since the position of the fourth guide plate 65 changes and is no longer flush with the third guide plate 43, the fourth guide plate 65 abuts against the conveyed bottle. At the same time, the carton can catch the bottle falling from the fourth guide plate 65 and the discharge baffle 81. The first suction cup 94 is suctioned to the bottom of the carton under pressure. Then the suction cup support frame 93 moves downward, and the first folding guide block 83 and the second folding guide block 84 fold the sides of the carton. After the initial folding is completed, the carton falls between the adjacent box limiting blocks 92 and is finally conveyed to the next process by the second conveyor belt 91.
