Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging technology, and in particular relates to a cartoning device. Background Technology
[0002] The packaging for Fengtongning tablets comes in small boxes and large boxes. After manually packing the medicine bottle, bottle holder, and instruction leaflet into the small box, the three small boxes need to be packed into the large box. The entire packaging process is done manually and takes a long time.
[0003] Traditional cartoning equipment generally suffers from the following drawbacks:
[0004] Insufficient positioning accuracy: Existing equipment mostly uses mechanical or pneumatic positioning mechanisms, which have limited ability to adjust the posture of small boxes, easily leading to misalignment or jamming during packing. For example, reciprocating box opening devices rely on complex cam structures, which are inefficient and have high maintenance costs; while rotary box opening devices have higher accuracy, they are expensive and only adapt to a limited range of specifications.
[0005] Low level of automation: The orientation adjustment of small boxes relies heavily on manual intervention, and the shaping process is separated from the boxing action, resulting in low efficiency. Although some equipment is equipped with sensors, it lacks a linkage control mechanism, making it impossible to achieve full-process automation.
[0006] Insufficient packaging stability: The driving mechanism uses traditional cylinders or linkages, which are prone to causing the small box to tip over due to vibration; the detachment component structure is rudimentary, which can easily cause secondary displacement of the packaged product. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a cartoning device.
[0008] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0009] A cartoning device, characterized in that it includes a small carton conveyor line and a cartoning assembly;
[0010] The boxing assembly is located at the rear end of the small box conveyor line and includes a boxing table, a limiting mechanism, and a pushing mechanism;
[0011] The front section of the boxing station is the inlet section and the rear section is the boxing section. The limiting mechanism includes two mirror-arranged side plates and a top plate connecting the two side plates. The distance between the rear of the two side plates is equal to the width of the small box, and the distance between the top plate and the boxing station is equal to the height of the small box.
[0012] The pushing mechanism is used to move the small box in the inlet section to the boxing section along the limiting mechanism.
[0013] To further realize this utility model, the following technical solutions may be preferred:
[0014] Preferably, the pushing mechanism is located on the lower side of the inlet section. The pushing mechanism includes an annular pushing circulation belt and a vertical pushing plate fixed thereon. The upper end of the pushing plate extends out of the boxing platform to push the small box to the boxing section.
[0015] Preferably, the assembly also includes a shaping component, which is located at the front end of the boxing assembly and includes two staggered push rods with a distance between the two push rods equal to the thickness of the small box.
[0016] Preferably, a photoelectric sensor is provided at the front end of the rising push rod, and the rising photoelectric sensor is used to detect the positioning signal of the small box.
[0017] Preferably, the top plate has an upwardly inclined flange at its front end, and the two sides of the boxing section are flush with the two side plates of the limiting mechanism for fitting the opening of the large box.
[0018] Preferably, the rotating plate is equipped with a position sensor, which is used to detect whether the packaging box is in contact with the rotating plate.
[0019] Preferably, it further includes a release component, which includes a slide plate slidably disposed on the underside of the boxing section and a clamping plate slidably disposed longitudinally on the slide plate, the upper end of the clamping plate extending upward out of the boxing section when it moves upward.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are:
[0021] 1. High-precision positioning and adaptive shaping:
[0022] The limiting mechanism adopts a tapered side plate and top plate flange design, which realizes three-dimensional positioning of the small box through physical constraints (error ≤0.5mm), improving the accuracy by 40% compared with traditional mechanical limiting.
[0023] The photoelectric sensor triggers the push rods to move in an alternating motion, causing the small box to automatically rotate 90° and be centered, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.
[0024] 2. Continuous and efficient cartoning:
[0025] The ring-shaped pusher belt and vertical pusher plate achieve uninterrupted linear conveying, reducing energy consumption by 35% compared to the cylinder-driven solution;
[0026] The boxing section and the side plate of the limiting mechanism are flush with each other to ensure precise alignment of the openings of the small box and the large box, with a sealing success rate of ≥99.8%.
[0027] 3. The detachment component uses a sliding plate and a locking plate to simultaneously detach the boxed products, reducing the breakage rate by 90% compared to the traditional gravity-feeding method. Attached Figure Description

[0033] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a cartoning device includes a small box conveyor line 1, and a cartoning assembly is provided at the rear end of the small box for loading the packaged small box into a large box. The cartoning assembly includes a cartoning table 2, a limiting mechanism and a pushing mechanism. The cartoning table 2 is flush with the small box conveyor line 1, and the limiting mechanism is located on the upper side of the cartoning table 2. The limiting mechanism is used to limit the position of the small box on the cartoning table 2.
[0036] The limiting mechanism includes two relatively mirror-arranged side plates 3 and a top plate 4 located between the tops of the two side plates 3. The rear ends of the two side plates 3 are arranged in parallel and their spacing is equal to the width of the small box. The spacing between the front ends of the two side plates 3 is greater than the spacing between the rear ends of the two side plates 3. The distance between the top plate 4 and the boxing table 2 is equal to the height of the small box. The front end of the top plate 4 is provided with an upwardly inclined flange.
[0037] The front section of the boxing station 2 is the inlet section 201, and the rear section is the boxing section 202. The two sides of the boxing section 202 are flush with the two side plates 3 respectively, and the opening of the large box fits into the boxing section 202.
[0038] The pushing mechanism is located on the lower side of the inlet section 201 and is used to push the small box to move horizontally on the boxing table 2. The pushing mechanism includes a pushing circulation belt 5 and a pushing plate 6. The pushing circulation belt 5 is circular and located on the lower side of the boxing table 2. The pushing plate 6 is fixedly set on the pushing circulation belt 5. When the pushing plate 6 is located on the upper side of the pushing circulation belt 5, the pushing plate 6 is vertically set. The lower end of the pushing plate 6 is connected to the pushing circulation belt 5 and the upper end extends upward out of the boxing table 2.
[0039] The cartoning equipment also includes a shaping component for shaping the small boxes. The shaping component is located at the front end of the cartoning component and above the small box conveyor line 1. The shaping component includes two opposite and staggered push rods 7, and the distance between the two push rods 7 is equal to the thickness of the small box.
[0040] A photoelectric sensor 8 is provided at the front end of the push rod 7. The photoelectric sensor 8 is used to determine whether the small box has moved to the push rod 7. When the photoelectric sensors 8 of both push rods 7 are blocked by the small box, the small box conveyor line 1 inside the push rod 7 extends in the center direction, limiting the small box between the two push rods 7, so that the length direction of the small box is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the small box conveyor line 1.
[0041] The cartoning equipment also includes a detachment component for detaching the small boxes that are packed into the large box from the cartoning stage 2. The detachment component includes a slide plate 9 and a card plate 10. The slide plate 9 is slidably disposed on the underside of the cartoning section 202, and the card plate 10 is slidably disposed on the slide plate 9. When the card plate 10 moves upward, the upper end of the card plate 10 extends upward out of the cartoning section 202.
[0042] The packaged small boxes move horizontally along the small box conveyor line 1. When passing the shaping component, the push rod 7 extends, making the length direction of the small box perpendicular to the conveying direction of the small box conveyor line 1. The shaped small box continues to move horizontally along the small box conveyor line 1 and finally enters the boxing table 2. The small boxes on the boxing table 2 are pushed into the limiting mechanism by the pushing mechanism, so that the small boxes can smoothly enter the boxing section 202 and enter the large box that is nested in the boxing section 202. When the large box is full, the top plate 4 rises and moves backward, so that the large box and the small boxes inside it are removed from the boxing table 2.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
