[0027] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed explanation.

[0028] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a palletizing device for bottled instant noodles, including a lifting assembly 1, a six-axis robotic arm 2, a first conveyor belt 3, a pallet positioning seat 4, a pallet detection assembly 5, and a camera 6.

[0029] The output end of the lifting assembly 1 is connected to a six-axis robot 2. The lifting assembly 1 can be any mechanical structure capable of lifting, such as a cylinder lifting, hydraulic cylinder lifting, electric cylinder lifting, or linkage motor-driven lifting. The lifting assembly 1 is located on one side of the end of the first conveyor belt 3. The operating end of the six-axis robot 2 is equipped with a suction cup 21 or a gripper. In this embodiment, it is a suction cup 21. Multiple sets of suction cups 21 can be set to adsorb multiple packaging boxes at one time.

[0030] The first conveyor belt 3 is a roller conveyor belt. Positioning detection components 31 are formed on both sides of the end of the first conveyor belt 3. Each positioning detection component 31 includes an end sensor 312, two first sensors 313, a first push cylinder 314, and a push plate 315. The first push cylinder 314 can be a pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder. The end sensor 312 and the two first sensors 313 can be proximity sensors or retractable infrared sensors. The end sensor 312 and the two first sensors 313 are located on one side of the end of the first conveyor section and are mounted on a first mounting bracket 311. The end sensor 312 is located at the end of the first mounting bracket 311, and two first sensors 313 are located on the side of the end sensor 312 facing the input end of the first conveyor belt 3 and are spaced apart. The two first sensors 313 are used to detect the width of the box. The first push cylinder 314 and the push plate 315 are located on the other side of the end of the first conveyor belt 3. The output end of the first push cylinder 314 is connected to the push plate 315. The first push cylinder 314 drives the push plate 315 to move towards the other side of the first conveyor belt 3, thereby achieving the positioning of the packaging box.

[0031] Clamping detection components 32 are provided on both sides of the middle section of the first conveyor belt 3. The clamping detection components 32 include two second sensors 322, a second push cylinder 323, and a clamping plate 324. The second push cylinder 323 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric cylinder. The two second sensors 322 are located on one side of the first conveyor belt 3 and are spaced apart and mounted on the second mounting bracket 321. The second sensors 322 can be proximity sensors or retractable infrared sensors. The second push cylinder 323 and the clamping plate 324 are located on the other side of the second conveyor belt. The two second sensors 322 and the clamping plate 324 are arranged opposite to each other. The clamping plate 324 is connected to the output end of the second push cylinder 323. Specifically, the clamping plate 324 includes a transverse part and an inclined part. The inclined part is connected to the side of the transverse part facing the input end of the first conveyor belt 3 and is inclined outward.

[0032] Preferably, the pushing stroke of the clamping plate 324 can be increased by using two second pushing cylinders 323 pushing each other.

[0033] The function of the clamping detection component is to clamp the packaging box located at the position of the clamping detection component when needed, to prevent the packaging box from continuing to move towards the end of the first conveyor belt 3, causing multiple packaging boxes to squeeze each other, resulting in the robot arm being unable to clamp the packaging box of the first conveyor belt 3 (because of excessive friction).

[0034] The front end of the first conveyor belt 3 is also provided with a partition detection component 33. The partition detection component 33 includes a third sensor 331, a third push cylinder 332 and a partition 333. The third push cylinder 332 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder. Two third sensors 331 are located on both sides of the first conveyor belt 3 for detecting the box. The third sensor 331 is an infrared sensor, one of which is an ejector and the other is a receiver. The third push cylinder 332 is located below the roller conveyor belt. The partition 333 is installed at the output end of the third push cylinder 332. The partition 333 is located between the two rollers and on the side of the third sensor 331 that is close to the output end of the first conveyor belt 3.

[0035] The first conveyor belt 3 is also equipped with a vertical box detection component 34. The vertical box detection component 34 includes a gantry frame 341, which spans the first conveyor belt 3. Two fourth sensors 342 are provided on both sides of the upper horizontal plate of the gantry frame 341. The two fourth sensors 342 are proximity sensors or retractable infrared sensors. The distance between the two second sensors 342 is less than the length of the packaging box but greater than the length of the packaging box. Five sensors 343 are provided on the vertical plates on both sides of the gantry frame 341. The two fifth sensors 343 are infrared sensors, one of which is an emitter and the other is a receiver.

[0036] The vertical box detection component 34 is used to detect whether the packaging box is placed in a predetermined position. The detection steps are as follows: when both fourth sensors 342 and both fifth sensors 343 detect the box, it indicates that the packaging box is in the correct position. When both fourth sensors 342 detect the box, but either fifth sensor 343 fails to detect it, it indicates that the packaging box is in the wrong position. The packaging box is transported on the first conveyor belt 3. The vertical box detection component 34 sends a signal to the control component, which controls the operation of the partition detection component 33. When the third sensor 331 detects a packaging box that is not placed in the predetermined position, the third push cylinder 332 pushes out, and the partition 333 rises to block the packaging box that is not placed in the predetermined position.

[0037] The pallet positioning base 4 includes two L-shaped limiting frames 41. The two limiting frames 41 are located on the outer side, and the inner circumferential surfaces of the two limiting frames 41 face the lifting assembly 1. The maximum distance between the inner circumferential surface of the limiting frame 41 and the lifting assembly 1 is greater than or equal to the width of the pallet. Each limiting frame 41 has a mounting hole. The pallet detection assembly 5 is installed at the mounting hole with the detection end facing inward. Specifically, the limiting frame 41 has multiple mounting holes spaced vertically. The pallet detection assembly 5 is installed in each of the multiple mounting holes. In this embodiment, there are two mounting holes. The pallet detection assembly 5 in this solution is a proximity switch or a push switch.

[0038] Camera 6 is located above pallet positioning seat 4, and camera 6 faces the pallet.

[0039] Working principle: The number of pallets in the pallet positioning seat 4 is detected by the pallet detection component 5. Based on the number of pallets, the lifting component 1 adjusts the height of the six-axis robot 2. At the end of the first conveyor belt 3 of the packaging box transport belt, the end sensor 312 and the first sensor trigger the first push cylinder 314 to push the packaging box for positioning. The six-axis robot 2 picks up the packaging box located at the positioning detection component 31 and then transfers it to the pallet. During the transfer process, the camera 6 continuously records the working status of the six-axis robot 2. If any abnormality is detected, the six-axis robot 2 will immediately stop working. During the transfer process, the first conveyor belt 3 is located between the positioning detection component 31 and the clamping detection component 31. When there are too many boxes between 2, the second push cylinder 323 of the clamping detection component is pushed out, driving the clamping plate 324 to clamp the boxes, preventing them from continuing to move towards the end of the first conveyor belt 3, causing multiple boxes to squeeze each other, resulting in the robot arm being unable to clamp the boxes on the first conveyor belt 3. When the vertical box detection component 34 is used to detect whether the boxes are placed in the predetermined position, the vertical box detection component 34 sends a signal to the control component, and the control component controls the operation of the partition detection component 33. When the third sensor 331 senses that a box is not placed in the predetermined position, the third push cylinder 332 is pushed out, and the partition 333 rises to block the box that is not placed in the predetermined position.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
