[0043] Referring to Figure 1 The utility model provides a kind of technical scheme shown in the figure: a kind of packing and stacking system, for solid alcohol, including unpacking machine 1, first conveying part 2, sealing machine 3, second conveying part 4, positioning mechanism 5, packing machine 6 and stacking machine 7;Unpacking machine 1, first conveying part 2, sealing machine 3 and second conveying part 4 are sequentially arranged along transmission direction;Positioning mechanism 5 includes frame 51 and bracing cover unit 52, frame 51 is located on first conveying part 2, and bracing cover unit 52 is installed on frame 51;Packing machine 6 is oppositely arranged with positioning mechanism 5;Stacking machine 7 is correspondingly arranged to second conveying part 4.

[0044] Exemplarily, the first conveying member 2 and the second conveying member 4 can be conveying lines or the like.

[0045] In this embodiment, after the carton is unfolded by the unpacking machine 1, the carton is conveyed to the cover supporting unit 52 by the first conveying member 2. At this time, the cover supporting unit 52 actively supports the flaps of the carton to prevent the flaps from turning inward, and the packing machine 6 is arranged in position with the positioning mechanism 5 to ensure accurate packing of the solid alcohol. After the solid alcohol is packed, the sealing machine 3 and the stacking machine 7 sequentially complete the subsequent sealing and stacking. In this way, the flaps of the carton are automatically supported open by the cover supporting unit 52, without the need for manual intervention, solving the problem of difficulty in packing caused by the flaps turning inward, thereby improving the packing efficiency.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, the frame 51 has two side plate groups, the cover supporting unit 52 includes two cover supporting arrays 521, the two cover supporting arrays 521 correspond to the two side plate groups one by one, the cover supporting array 521 includes two cover supporting assemblies 5211, the cover supporting assembly 5211 includes a connecting rod 52111, a baffle 52112 and a driving member 52113, the connecting rod 52111 is rotatably arranged on the side plate group, the baffle 52112 is arranged on the connecting rod 52111, and one end of the driving member 52113 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 52111.

[0048] In this embodiment, the driving member 52113 pushes the connecting rod 52111 to rotate, so that the baffle 52112 is unfolded outward to contact the flaps, physically supporting the flaps open and maintaining the flaps in an open state. In this way, the flaps of the carton can be automatically supported open, not only avoiding the flaps from rebounding, but also greatly reducing the labor cost.

[0049] Referring to Figure 2 In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, the positioning mechanism 5 includes a first limiting member 53 and a second limiting member 54, the first limiting member 53 and the second limiting member 54 are both mounted on the frame 51, and the first limiting member 53 and the second limiting member 54 can limit the carton.

[0050] Exemplarily, the first limiting member 53 can include a first pushing member and a push plate, etc., and a push rod is arranged at the output end of the first pushing member. The first pushing member can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, etc. The second limiting member 54 can include two second pushing members, one of which is arranged on the frame 51, and the other of which is arranged at the output end of the one second pushing member. When the first conveying member 2 is one, the second limiting member 54 can be arranged opposite to the first limiting member 53, and the first limiting member 53 faces away from the case packer 6, so that the output end of the first limiting member 53 and the output end of the second limiting member 54 move towards or away from each other.

[0051] In this embodiment, the position of the packaging box is limited by the first limiting member 53 and the second limiting member 54 to ensure that the packaging box is centered and not offset. The double limiting improves the positioning accuracy of the box body, reduces the influence of conveying vibration on the position of the packaging box, and avoids case packing misplacement.

[0052] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the case packer 6 includes a case packing assembly 61 and a conveying assembly 62. The case packing assembly 61 includes a first moving member 611 and a clamp 612 arranged at the output end of the first moving member 611.

[0053] Exemplarily, the first moving member 611 can be a robot or a multi-axis gantry platform, etc. The third conveying member 621 can be a conveying line, etc.

[0054] In this embodiment, the third conveying member 621 conveys the solid alcohol to the position of the first moving member 611, and the first moving member 611 drives the clamp 612 to move, so that the clamp 612 grabs the solid alcohol, and at the same time, the first moving member 611 drives the clamp 612 to convey the solid alcohol to the packaging box and pack the solid alcohol.

[0055] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the clamp 612 includes a carrier plate 6121 and a suction cup connected in sequence, and the carrier plate 6121 is arranged at the output end of the first moving member 611.

[0056] In this embodiment, the suction cup adsorbs the solid alcohol through negative pressure to realize the carrying of the solid alcohol. In this way, flexible grabbing is realized through the suction cup to avoid damage to the solid alcohol.

[0057] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the clamp 612 includes a moving member 6123 arranged between the carrier plate 6121 and the suction cup.

[0058] Exemplarily, the moving member 6123 can be a sliding table air cylinder, etc.

[0059] In this embodiment, the movable component 6123 can adjust the position of the suction cup to accommodate different arrangements of solid alcohol. This allows for dynamic adjustment of the gripping position, improving the flexibility of the clamp 612.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying assembly 62 includes a first pusher 622, which is disposed on the third conveyor 621, and the output end of the first pusher 622 faces the first conveyor 2.

[0061] For example, the structure of the first pusher 622 can be the same as that of the first limiting member 53.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first pusher 622 pushes the solid alcohol toward the first transfer member 611 to facilitate suction cup adsorption.

[0063] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the case packer 6 includes a fourth conveyor 623, which is disposed between the first transfer member 611 and the third conveyor 621, and the conveying direction of the fourth conveyor 623 is toward the first transfer member 611.

[0064] For example, the third conveyor 621 can be a conveyor line, etc.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first pusher 622 can push solid alcohol to the fourth conveyor 623. The conveying by the fourth conveyor 623 not only brings the solid alcohol closer to the clamp 612, but also temporarily stores the solid alcohol to prevent the third conveyor 621 from becoming congested.

[0066] Reference Figure 1 and 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when the first conveyor 2 is configured as at least two and the number of positioning mechanisms 5 and case packers 6 is associated with the number of the first conveyors 2, the case packer 6 includes a second pusher 63, which is disposed between the first transfer member 611 and the fourth conveyor 623, with the output end of the second pusher 63 facing the first conveyor 2.

[0067] For example, at least two first conveyors 2 can be arranged in parallel. At least two case packers 6 can be arranged in parallel. The structure of the second pusher 63 can be the same as that of the first limiting member 53. In this embodiment, the second limiting member 54 can be arranged opposite to the first limiting member 53, with the first limiting member 53 facing away from the case packer 6, so that the output end of the first limiting member 53 and the output end of the second limiting member 54 move towards or away from each other; or, the first limiting member 53 can limit the packaging box in a first direction, and the second limiting member 54 can limit the packaging box in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; the first limiting member 53 can face away from the case sealing machine 3.

[0068] In this embodiment, when multiple first conveyors 2 are configured, the second pusher 63 switches the packaging box to different first conveyors 2 to achieve multi-line parallel operation.

[0069] Taking two first conveyor components 2 as an example, assuming the first conveyor line farther from the case packer 6 is conveyor line A, and the first conveyor line closer to the case packer 6 is conveyor line B, the case packer 6 farther from the sealing machine 3 is matched with conveyor line A, and the case packer 6 closer to the sealing machine 3 is matched with conveyor line B. After the first package is opened, the first package enters conveyor line B. When it is conveyed to the second pusher component 63 matched with conveyor line A, the second pusher component 63 pushes the package onto the positioning mechanism 5 on conveyor line A, and limits the package through the first limiting component 53 and the second limiting component 54. After the package is filled with solid alcohol, conveyor line A directly conveys the package to the sealing machine 3 for sealing. After the second package is opened, the second package enters conveyor line B. Conveyor line B conveys the package to the positioning mechanism 5 on conveyor line B, and limits the package through the first limiting component 53 and the second limiting component 54. After the packaging box is filled with solid alcohol, the second pusher 63 pushes the packaging box onto conveyor line A, which then transports the packaging box to the sealing machine 3 for sealing. This process is repeated continuously.

[0070] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the palletizer 7 includes a second transfer member 71 and a second suction cup 72, the second suction cup 72 being disposed at the output end of the second transfer member 71.

[0071] For example, the second transfer member 71 may be a robotic arm or a multi-axis gantry platform, etc.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the packing and palletizing system includes a lifting mechanism 8, which is located between the carton sealing machine 3 and the second conveyor 4. The lifting mechanism 8 includes a support base 81, a lifting member 82, and at least one pair of flow strips 83. The lifting member 82 is mounted on the support base 81, and at least one pair of flow strips 83 are disposed on the support base 81. The at least one pair of flow strips 83 are symmetrically arranged, and the conveying direction of the at least one pair of flow strips 83 is towards the second conveyor 4.

[0073] For example, the structure of the lifting member 82 can be the same as that of the first limiting member 53.

[0074] In this embodiment, the lifting component 82 raises the sealed packaging box, allowing it to smoothly transition to the second conveyor component 4 via the flow strip 83. By adjusting the height of the packaging box to meet the needs of the palletizer 7, the impact of the drop is reduced.

[0075] The above merely is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
