Description

A cardboard box packaging machine Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of packaging equipment, and in particular to a carton packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] As automated packaging equipment, paper box packaging machines are widely used in the product packing process in the food, pharmaceutical, and daily chemical industries.

[0003] Existing cardboard box packaging equipment typically employs a dual-conveyor-belt parallel layout. Empty cardboard boxes are horizontally transported via a first conveyor belt, while the product to be packaged is simultaneously transported on a parallel second conveyor belt. When both conveyors reach their designated stations, a multi-axis robotic arm performs a gripping action, transferring the product from the second conveyor belt to the inside of the cardboard box on the first conveyor belt to complete the packing operation.

[0004] However, the parallel arrangement of dual conveyor belts requires a large horizontal space, especially when the distance between the product conveyor line and the carton conveyor line is large, the overall footprint of the equipment increases significantly. In addition, the robotic arm needs to frequently perform lateral span movements to complete the grab-transfer-release action cycle, resulting in low product packing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a carton packaging machine that can reduce the horizontal floor space required for the equipment and improve product packing efficiency.

[0006] A carton packaging machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first conveying mechanism, including a first conveying roller group and a first motor for driving the first conveying roller group to convey cartons; a second conveying mechanism, including a second conveying roller group and a second motor for driving the second conveying roller group to convey products, the second conveying roller group being located above the first conveying roller group; and a carton loading mechanism, including a lifting component and a guiding component disposed between the first conveying roller group and the second conveying roller group, the lifting component including a bracket and a first power component for driving the bracket to rise and fall, the bracket being movable up and down to lift cartons on the first conveying roller group, the guiding component including a limiting frame and a plurality of guide plates disposed on the outer periphery of the bottom of the limiting frame, the limiting frame being disposed near the discharge port of the second conveying roller group, and the guide plates being used to guide the products of the second conveying roller group to fall into the carton.

[0007] A carton packaging machine according to an embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0008] 1. This utility model sets up a first conveyor roller group, a first motor, a second conveyor roller group, and a second motor. The first conveyor roller group conveys cartons, and the second conveyor roller group conveys products. By vertically stacking the second conveyor roller group above the first conveyor roller group, a three-dimensional spatial layout is used to replace the traditional parallel structure of double conveyor belts, reducing the horizontal footprint of the equipment. It is especially suitable for factory space-constrained scenarios and improves the flexibility of production line layout.

[0009] 2. This utility model, by setting up a bracket, a first power component, a limiting frame, and multiple guide plates, allows the first conveyor roller group to transport the carton to the lifting position. The first power component drives the bracket to rise, and the bracket lifts the carton, bringing it close to the bottom of the limiting frame. The second conveyor roller group then transports the product, causing it to fall from the outlet of the second conveyor roller group and enter the limiting frame. The product then slides directly into the carton through the guide plates, eliminating the lateral movement time of the robotic arm, shortening the single packing cycle, improving product packing efficiency, and ensuring that the product falls accurately into the carton. In addition, it simplifies high-failure-rate components such as the robotic arm, reducing equipment complexity and maintenance costs.

[0029] A carton packaging machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1, this utility model aims to provide an embodiment of a carton packaging machine.

[0031] A carton packaging machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first conveying mechanism and a second conveying mechanism. The first conveying mechanism includes a first conveying roller group 100 and a first motor 110 that drives the first conveying roller group 100 to convey cartons. The first conveying roller group 100 is used to convey cartons. The second conveying mechanism includes a second conveying roller group 120 and a second motor 130 that drives the second conveying roller group 120 to convey products. The second conveying roller group 120 is located above the first conveying roller group 100.

[0032] It is understood that this utility model, by setting up a first conveyor roller group 100, a first motor 110, a second conveyor roller group 120, and a second motor 130, uses the first conveyor roller group 100 to transport cartons and the second conveyor roller group 120 to transport products. By vertically superimposing the second conveyor roller group 120 on top of the first conveyor roller group 100, it uses a three-dimensional spatial layout to replace the traditional dual conveyor belt parallel structure, reducing the horizontal footprint of the equipment. It is especially suitable for factory space-constrained scenarios and improves the flexibility of production line layout.

[0033] A carton packaging machine according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a carton infeeding mechanism, comprising a lifting component and a guiding component disposed between a first conveying roller group 100 and a second conveying roller group 120. The lifting component includes a bracket and a first power component 150 for driving the bracket to rise and fall. The bracket is movable up and down to lift the carton on the first conveying roller group 100. The guiding component includes a limiting frame 160 and a plurality of guide plates 170 disposed on the outer periphery of the bottom of the limiting frame 160. The limiting frame 160 is disposed near the discharge port of the second conveying roller group 120. The guide plates 170 are used to guide the product of the second conveying roller group 120 into the carton.

[0034] Understandably, this utility model, by setting up a bracket, a first power component 150, a limiting frame 160, and multiple guide plates 170, allows the first conveying roller group 100 to transport the carton to the lifting position. The first power component 150 drives the bracket to rise, and the bracket lifts the carton, bringing it close to the bottom of the limiting frame 160. The second conveying roller group 120 then transports the product, causing it to fall from the discharge port of the second conveying roller group 120 and enter the limiting frame 160. The product then slides directly into the carton through the guide plates 170, eliminating the lateral movement time of the robotic arm, shortening the single packing cycle, improving product packing efficiency, and ensuring that the product falls accurately into the carton. In addition, it simplifies high-failure-rate components such as the robotic arm, reducing equipment complexity and maintenance costs.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the bracket includes multiple trays 140, a vertical plate 180 disposed at the bottom of the tray 140, and a horizontal plate 190 connected to the bottom of the vertical plate 180. The first power component 150 is a cylinder, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is connected to the horizontal plate 190. The first conveying roller group 100 includes multiple conveying rollers, and the tray 140 is located between two adjacent conveying rollers.

[0036] It is understandable that the structural design of the pallet 140 being positioned in the gap between two adjacent first conveyor roller groups 100 achieves zero interference with the first conveyor roller group 100 when the carton is lifted. In addition, the distributed support of multiple pallets 140 ensures that the carton is subjected to uniform force and is suitable for cartons of different sizes.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, referring to FIG2, the box-in mechanism has a bracket, a guide rod 200 is provided on the horizontal plate 190, a guide sleeve 210 is provided on the bracket, the guide rod 200 is vertically arranged, and the guide rod 200 is slidably arranged inside the guide sleeve 210.

[0038] Understandably, the sliding fit between the guide rod 200 and the guide sleeve 210 forms a vertical guiding constraint, eliminating horizontal deviation during the lifting and lowering process of the bracket and preventing the product from being misaligned when it falls into the carton.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, referring to FIG1, the guide plate 170 is an arc-shaped plate, which bends and extends toward the inner side of the limiting frame 160.

[0040] Understandably, the curved guide plate 170 forms a progressive closing channel. When the product falls, it is guided by centripetal force, and the sliding trajectory naturally converges to the center area of ​​the carton, reducing the probability of the product colliding with the carton wall.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, referring to FIG3, the box-in mechanism further includes a positioning component, which includes an abutment rod 220 and a second power component 230 for driving the abutment rod 220 to move horizontally. The abutment rod 220 is located on the side of the bracket near the discharge port of the second conveying roller group 120, and the abutment rod 220 is used to abut against the carton.

[0042] Understandably, when the carton passes the raised position, the second power component 230 drives the abutment rod 220 to move horizontally. The abutment rod 220 moves closer to the direction of movement of the carton, so that the side wall of the carton abuts against the abutment rod 220 to limit the raised position of the carton, so that the top opening of the carton is aligned with the bottom of the limiting frame 160, ensuring that the product falls accurately into the preset position inside the carton.

[0043] Next, when the carton is lifted, the second power component 230 drives the abutment rod 220 away from the carton to avoid interference between the abutment rod 220 and the bracket.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, referring to FIG4, a plurality of limiting plates 240 are provided above the second conveying roller group 120. The limiting plates 240 extend along the conveying direction of the second conveying roller group 120. The plurality of limiting plates 240 are arranged side by side, and a limiting channel 250 is formed between two adjacent limiting plates 240.

[0045] Understandably, the 250 limit track constrains the product conveying path to prevent products from stacking, tipping over, or uneven spacing, thereby improving conveying neatness and meeting the material supply stability requirements for high-speed continuous packing.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, a blocking component is provided above the second conveying roller group 120. The blocking component is located near the discharge port of the second conveying roller group 120. The blocking component includes a pressure plate 260 and a third power component 270 that drives the pressure plate 260 to rise and fall. The pressure plate 260 is used to press the product on the limiting channel 250.

[0047] Understandably, at the discharge port of the second conveyor roller group 120, the third power component 270 drives the pressure plate 260 to descend. The pressure plate 260 presses the product at the discharge port of the second conveyor roller group 120, preventing the forward slippage caused by the conveying inertia, ensuring that the product is released only after the carton is lifted into place, ensuring that the product falls into the carton in an orderly manner, and avoiding the product from stacking inside the carton.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, a silicone pad 280 is provided at the bottom of the pressure plate 260. The silicone pad 280 is used to abut against the product. Therefore, when the silicone pad 280 is pressed, it generates a buffering and vibration-absorbing effect, reducing the occurrence rate of indentations on the product surface.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, referring to FIG3, a photoelectric proximity switch 290 is provided on one side of the first conveyor roller group 100. The photoelectric proximity switch 290 is located near the bracket and is used to detect the carton.

[0050] Understandably, the photoelectric proximity switch 290 accurately detects the cardboard box's arrival signal, triggering the simultaneous activation of the lifting component, positioning component, and blocking component to prevent empty boxes from being lifted or boxes from being missed during loading.

[0051] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.
