[0002] After bottled products (such as beer) are produced, they need to be transported to the packaging production line by a conveyor (such as a conveyor belt) for boxing.
[0003] In the existing packing process, bottled products are packed into a packing machine. Each box needs to be manually inspected to confirm the correct number of bottles. If any bottles are missing, they are replenished in time. The boxes with replenished bottles and the boxes with the correct number of bottles are then packed into a packaging assembly. Finally, the packed boxes are marked with a coding machine.
[0004] However, manual inspection is prone to missed detections and has low efficiency. Utility Model Content

The weighing conveyor is used to carry the box, and the weighing detection device is used to detect the weight of the box on the weighing conveyor. The two ends of the weighing conveyor are respectively connected to the output end and the rejection device.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0043] After beverage products (such as beer) are produced, bottled products need to be transported to the packaging production line via conveyor devices (such as conveyor belts) for boxing. This involves separating the bottled products at equal intervals using a bottle-separating device, and then packaging them in boxes to complete the boxing process, facilitating subsequent storage and transportation.
[0044] In existing packing systems, bottled products are separated into equal-spaced sections by a bottle-separating device before entering the packing machine for final packing. Each case requires manual visual or manual inspection to confirm the completeness of the bottle count and to manually replenish any missing bottles. Simultaneously, the operator must monitor the operation of the inkjet printer, QR code scanner, and sealing machine. After packaging, the number of beers in each case is typically checked manually to determine if any are missing and replenish them promptly. However, because the operator must also monitor the operating status of the packing equipment (such as the inkjet printer and sealing machine), their focus is divided, leading to missed or incorrect inspections; furthermore, manual inspection is inefficient.
[0045] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a boxing system, including: a boxing assembly for loading bottles into a box, the boxing assembly having an output end; a weighing assembly connected to the output end, the weighing assembly for checking the weight of the box output by the output end; a packing assembly connected to the weighing assembly, the packing assembly for marking the box output by the weighing assembly; and a storage unit connected to the weighing assembly; the weighing assembly is configured to drive the box to the packing assembly when the weight of the box is greater than or less than a preset value, and to drive the box to the storage unit when the weight of the box is equal to the preset value. The packing system in this embodiment uses a packing component to pack bottles into boxes. The boxes flowing out from the output end of the packing component can be fully sealed or partially sealed. A weighing component is used to check the weight of the boxes output from the output end. When the weight of the box is greater than or less than a preset value, the box is driven to a packaging component. When the weight of the box is equal to the preset value, the box is driven to a storage component. The weighing device detects the weight of the box in real time and automatically distributes it to the packaging component or storage component according to the preset value. This eliminates the need for manual visual inspection or manual verification, thus eliminating detection errors caused by subjective judgment or lack of concentration and improving the reliability of packing quality.
[0046] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 The following content will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0047] This application provides a boxing system, including: a boxing assembly 100 for loading bottles into a box, the boxing assembly 100 having an output end; a weighing assembly 200 connected to the output end, the weighing assembly 200 for checking the weight of the box output by the output end; a packing assembly 300 connected to the weighing assembly 200; and a storage unit 400 connected to the weighing assembly 200. The weighing assembly 200 is configured to drive the box to the packing assembly 300 when the weight of the box is greater than or less than a preset value, and to drive the box to the storage unit 400 when the weight of the box is equal to the preset value. The packing assembly 300 is used to print the box markings output by the weighing assembly 200.
[0048] The packing system in this embodiment uses a packing component 100 to pack bottles into boxes. The boxes flowing out from the output end of the packing component 100 can be fully sealed or partially sealed. A weighing component 200 is used to check the weight of the boxes output from the output end. When the weight of the box is greater than or less than a preset value, the box is driven to a packing component 300. When the weight of the box is equal to the preset value, the box is driven to a storage component 400. The weighing component 200 detects the weight of the box in real time and automatically distributes it to the packing component 300 or the storage component 400 according to the preset value. This eliminates the need for manual visual inspection or manual verification, thus eliminating detection errors caused by subjective judgment or lack of concentration and improving the reliability of packing quality.
[0049] The case packing assembly 100 includes a case packer 110, a case transfer machine 120, a labeling machine 130, and a case sealing machine 140 connected in sequence. The case packer 110 is used to pack bottles into empty cases; the case transfer machine 120 is used to adjust the orientation of the cases to flexibly adjust the layout of the production line, especially in narrow spaces; the labeling machine 130 is used to affix product labels; and the case sealing machine 140 is used to seal the cases.
[0050] The weighing assembly 200 includes a weighing element 210 and a rejection element 220. The weighing element 210 is connected to the packing assembly 100 and is used to detect the weight of the box output from the output end. The weighing element 210, the packing assembly 300, and the storage unit 400 are all connected to the rejection element 220. After the weighing element 210 detects the weight of the box, the rejection element 220 drives the box to the packing assembly 300 or the storage unit 400 based on the weight result.
[0051] The weighing device 210 includes a weighing conveyor 211 and a weighing detection device 212. The two ends of the weighing conveyor 211 are respectively connected to the transmission component 600 and the rejection device 220. The weighing detection device 212 is integrated below the weighing conveyor 211 and is electrically connected to the control unit of the rejection device 220.
[0052] It should be noted that the rejection component 220 can be a rejection conveying platform, which has a rejection end 221 and a second conveying end 222. This application does not limit the position of the rejection end 221 and the second conveying end 222. The rejection end 221 and the second conveying end 222 are located on the same side of the rejection conveying platform, are parallel to each other, and both extend toward the packaging assembly 300. The rejection end 221 is connected to the inlet of the storage component 400, and the second conveying end 222 is connected to the inlet of the packaging assembly 300.
[0053] Of course, the rejection end 221 and the second conveying end 222 are located on different sides of the rejection conveying platform. For example, the rejection end 221 and the second conveying end 222 can be set on opposite sides of the rejection conveying platform.
[0054] The weighing detection component 212 is electrically connected to the weighing conveyor 211. The weighing conveyor 211 is used to transport the box, and the weighing detection component 212 is used to detect the weight of the box on the weighing conveyor 211. The two ends of the weighing conveyor 211 are connected to the output end and the rejection component 220, respectively.
[0055] In one possible implementation, the packing system in this application embodiment has a packing component 100 having at least two output terminals.
[0056] For example, the packing assembly 100 has two output ends, while the weighing assembly 200 has one. The packing assembly 100 includes a packing machine 110 and a sealing machine 140. The packing machine 110 has two output ends. One output end is connected to the sealed box via a conveyor belt, and the output end of the sealed box is connected to the weighing assembly 200. The other output end is directly connected to the weighing assembly 200 via a conveyor belt. It should be noted that the transmission speeds of the two output ends can be different, so that the boxes output from the two output ends can be weighed sequentially on the weighing assembly 200. It can be understood that the weighing assembly 200 can be reused by adjusting the speed difference, thereby reducing hardware costs and space occupation, adapting to compact layout scenarios.
[0057] Alternatively, the packing component 100 may have two outputs, and the weighing component 200 may have two outputs, with each output corresponding to a weighing component 200.
[0058] When the packing device 100 is configured with multiple output terminals, each output terminal can be independently connected to the weighing component 200 to form a parallel detection channel. The multi-channel diversion control module of the rejection component 220 can simultaneously process boxes from multiple channels, enabling the system capacity to increase linearly with the number of output terminals, meeting the production needs of different scales.
[0059] In one possible implementation, the packing system in this application embodiment further includes a speed regulating component 500. One end of the speed regulating component 500 is connected to the packing component 100, and the other end is connected to the weighing component 200. The speed regulating component 500 is used to change the speed of the box output by the packing component 100 so that the weighing component 200 detects the weight of a box in sequence.
[0060] The speed regulating component 500 is located between the packing component 100 and the weighing component 200, and is used to adjust the conveying speed of the boxes so that only one box is checked at a time on the weighing conveyor 211. For example, the speed regulating component 500 has a conveyor belt or roller assembly with an inlet section, an intermediate section, and an outlet section. The conveying speeds of the inlet section, intermediate section, and outlet section are different; for example, the inlet section is an acceleration section, the intermediate section is a deceleration section, and the outlet section is a constant speed section, thereby forcibly separating closely connected boxes. It can be understood that the acceleration in the inlet section, using high speed to separate the boxes, increases the distance between adjacent boxes; the deceleration in the intermediate section buffers the flow and avoids box collisions; finally, the constant speed conveying in the outlet section allows a single box to pass through.
[0061] In addition, a limit baffle or separator can be installed at the output end of the speed control component 500, which is driven by a cylinder to restrict the passage of a single box.
[0062] In one possible implementation, the packing system in this application embodiment is further provided with a prompting element on the storage unit 400, which is used to detect the number of boxes on the storage unit 400.
[0063] The notification device can be installed at the entrance or inside the storage unit 400 to detect the number of boxes inside the storage unit 400 and send feedback to the control system to remind the replenishment machine or manual replenishment. This application does not limit the structure of the notification device. For example, the notification device can be a photoelectric counter. When the quantity reaches a set value (e.g., 10 boxes), the notification device activates an audible and visual alarm and sends a replenishment signal to the control center. After the storage unit 400 is manually emptied, the counter is automatically reset or manually reset.
[0064] The rejection process is as follows: Bottles are loaded into boxes by the box packer 110, and then sequentially pass through the box turner 120 to adjust their posture, the labeling machine 130 to affix labels, and the box sealing machine 140 to seal the boxes. The boxes then enter the transmission assembly 600 from the output end of the box sealing machine 140. The speed control assembly 500 adjusts the conveying speed of the boxes, so that the boxes enter the weighing conveyor 211 in a single row with equal spacing. The weighing conveyor 211 carries the boxes past the weighing detection device 212, which detects the weight in real time and sends it to the rejection device 220. When the detected weight is less than or greater than a preset value, the rejection device 220 can drive the baffle of the rejection conveyor platform to guide the rejection end 221. The boxes enter the storage device 400 through the rejection end 221, and the cumulative count of the reminder device is incremented by 1. When the cumulative count of the reminder device is greater than the preset cumulative value, an alert is issued. When the weight is detected to be equal to the preset value, the rejection component 220 can drive the baffle of the rejection conveyor platform to guide the second conveyor end 222, and the box enters the packaging assembly 300 through the second conveyor end 222.
[0065] In one possible implementation, the packing system in this application embodiment further includes a transmission component 600, the output of which is connected to the weighing component 200 via the transmission component 600.
[0066] The output end of the packing assembly 100 is connected to the weighing element 210 of the weighing assembly 200 through the transmission assembly 600. The packing assembly 100 is used to output the packed box.
[0067] The packing assembly 100 includes a packing machine 110, a box transfer machine 120, a labeling machine 130, and a sealing machine 140 arranged in sequence. The sealing machine 140 has an output end or the packing machine 110 has an output end, and the output end is connected to the weighing assembly 200.
[0068] Furthermore, a speed changer 150 can be installed between the packing machine 110 and the box turner 120 to adjust the speed at which the box enters the box turner 120.
[0069] The packing assembly 100 includes a packer 110, a transfer machine 120, a labeler 130, and a sealing machine 140 connected in sequence. The outlet of the sealing machine 140 is the output end of the packing assembly 100, which is connected to the transmission assembly 600. In another embodiment, the weighing element 210 of the weighing assembly 200 can also be located before the sealing machine 140, enabling the box to be weighed before the sealing machine 140. For example, the outlet of the sealing machine 140 is a first output end, which is used to connect to the transmission assembly 600. In addition, a second output end can be added to the outlet of the transfer machine 120 or the labeler 130 for pre-inspection of the box before sealing.
