Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical packaging production equipment, and in particular relates to an automatic production line for the outer packaging of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water. Background Technology

[0002] Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine in households, with a large market demand. Its production and packaging efficiency directly impacts a company's capacity and costs. In the outer packaging production stage, the filled and capped bottles need to be placed into packaging boxes. Currently, common automated production lines typically include units for bottle handling, conveying, and boxing.

[0003] However, the efficiency of existing production lines in the transition between bottle sorting and cartoning needs improvement. Most equipment uses a single-row conveyor system, feeding bottles one by one into the cartoning machine after sorting. This method results in a slow cartoning pace, limiting further increases in overall production speed. Although some equipment attempts to use multi-row parallel conveyors, they often lack effective integration and positioning mechanisms, making it difficult to accurately and stably converge multiple bottle flows into the specific matrix arrangement (such as two rows and multiple layers) required by the cartoning machine. This necessitates manual arrangement or the use of complex multi-stage mechanisms before the bottles enter the cartoning machine, increasing labor costs and intensity, and also raising equipment failure rates due to the complexity of the mechanisms, thus affecting the continuity and stability of the production line. Utility Model Content In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides an automatic production line for the outer packaging of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: An automated production line for the outer packaging of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water includes a bottle sorting device, a boxing device, and a box stacking device. The bottle sorting device includes an inclined feeding machine, a reversing mechanism, a discharge conveyor belt, and a diversion mechanism. The feeding machine is connected to the discharge conveyor belt through the reversing mechanism, and the diversion mechanism is located above the discharge conveyor belt. The feeding machine is used to convey several single-row Zhengqi Water bottles into the reversing mechanism for reversal. The diversion mechanism conveys the bottles with the same orientation in the discharge conveyor belt to the boxing device for boxing. The stacking device stacks the boxed Zhengqi Water bottles and conveys them out.

[0005] Optionally, the cartoning device includes a first connecting conveyor belt, a second connecting conveyor belt, a feeding synchronous belt, and a cartoning machine. The cartoning machine is connected to the first connecting conveyor belt and the second connecting conveyor belt via the feeding synchronous belt. The feeding synchronous belt is located between the first connecting conveyor belt and the second connecting conveyor belt. Pushing cylinders are provided on the outer sides of both the first connecting conveyor belt and the second connecting conveyor belt.

[0006] Optionally, the first connecting conveyor belt and the second connecting conveyor belt are arranged side by side, with a vertical distance of 6 to 8 mm between the upper surfaces of the first connecting conveyor belt and the upper surfaces of the second connecting conveyor belt.

[0007] Optionally, the feeding synchronous belt is equipped with several material compartments, and the width of the material compartments is 5 times the diameter of the gas water bottle. The other end of the feeding synchronous belt extends into the cartoning machine.

[0008] Optionally, the feeding machine adopts a multi-row synchronous baffle conveyor belt, with the output end of each row connected to the reversing mechanism. The discharge conveyor belt is also equipped with a positioning frame that corresponds one-to-one with the outlet of the reversing mechanism.

[0009] Optionally, the diversion mechanism also includes two linear robotic arms located above the discharge conveyor belt. Each of the two linear robotic arms is equipped with a gripping cylinder on its outer side, and a scraper is fixedly connected to the output end of the gripping cylinder.

[0010] Optionally, a checkweigher is also provided between the cartoning device and the stacking device.

[0011] Optionally, the outlet end of the cartoning device extends into the checkweigher, and the outlet end of the checkweigher extends into the carton stacking device.

[0012] This utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: This invention utilizes the coordinated operation of a reversing mechanism and a diversion mechanism in a bottle-sorting device. First, it unifies the direction of multiple rows of bottles output from the feeder. Then, the linear robotic arm and scraper of the diversion mechanism grip and divert the bottles according to a preset program, precisely guiding them into the first and second parallel conveyor belts. A smooth transition and integration are achieved using a 6-8mm vertical gap between the two conveyor belts. A pushing cylinder intermittently pushes the bottles into precisely calculated grids on the synchronous feeding belt, thus efficiently and reliably integrating individual bottles into a stable "two rows of ten boxes" stacked matrix. This solves the problems of slow packing speed and inability to automatically form a regular bottle array in traditional single-row conveying or simple parallel flow methods, doubling packing efficiency and improving production line capacity and automation.

[0013] Furthermore, the entire production line, from feeding, bottle sorting, diversion, integration, boxing, inspection, to stacking, is seamlessly connected by optimized conveyor belts, forming a highly efficient and continuous automated packaging line. This not only reduces waiting time and manual intervention costs for material transfer between processes but also effectively ensures the continuity and stability of production. The overall structure is stable and reliable, fully meeting the stringent requirements of large-scale automated production for high efficiency, low cost, and high stability.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0017] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automated production line for the outer packaging of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water includes a bottle unscrambling device 1, a boxing device 2, and a box stacking device 3. The bottle handling device 1 includes an inclined feeding machine 11, a reversing mechanism 12, a discharge conveyor belt 13, and a diversion mechanism 14. The feeding machine 11 is connected to the discharge conveyor belt 13 through the reversing mechanism 12, and the diversion mechanism 14 is located above the discharge conveyor belt 13. The feeding machine 11 is used to convey several single-row Zhengqi water bottles into the reversing mechanism 12 for reversing. The reversing mechanism 12 reverses the bottles and conveys them to the conveyor belt 13. The diversion mechanism 14 conveys the bottles with the same orientation in the discharge conveyor belt 13 to the boxing device 2 for boxing. The stacking device 3 stacks the boxed Zhengqi water and conveys it out.

[0019] Furthermore, the cartoning device 2 includes a first connecting conveyor belt 201, a second connecting conveyor belt 202, a feeding synchronous belt 203, and a cartoning machine 204. The cartoning machine 204 is connected to the first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the second connecting conveyor belt 202 via the feeding synchronous belt 203. The feeding synchronous belt 203 is located between the first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the second connecting conveyor belt 202. Pushing cylinders 205 are provided on the outer sides of both the first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the second connecting conveyor belt 202. The first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the second connecting conveyor belt 202 receive bottles diverted from the diversion mechanism 14 and temporarily store and transport them. The pushing cylinders 205 intermittently push the single-layer positive air bottles on the first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the second connecting conveyor belt 202 onto the feeding synchronous belt 203 to form a regular matrix of "two layers and ten boxes".

[0020] Furthermore, the first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the second connecting conveyor belt 202 are arranged side by side, with a vertical distance of 6-8mm between the upper surface of the first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the upper surface of the second connecting conveyor belt 202. This design allows the bottles on the two conveyor belts to be smoothly pushed to the feeding synchronous belt 203, avoiding collisions or blockages between the two layers of bottles at the confluence point.

[0021] Furthermore, the feeding synchronous belt 203 is equipped with several material compartments, and the width of the material compartments is 5 times the diameter of the gas water bottle. The other end of the feeding synchronous belt 203 extends into the cartoning machine 204. During operation, the pusher cylinder 205 located at the lower position is activated first, pushing its corresponding 5 bottles into one material compartment of the feeding synchronous belt 203. Subsequently, the pusher cylinder 205 located at the higher position is activated, pushing another 5 bottles into the same material compartment, thereby efficiently and orderly completing the integration of the "two rows of ten boxes" bottle array.

[0022] Furthermore, the feeding machine 11 adopts a multi-row synchronous baffle conveyor belt, and the output end of each row is connected to the reversing mechanism 12. The discharge conveyor belt 13 is also equipped with a positioning frame 15 that corresponds one-to-one with the outlet of the reversing mechanism 12. The positioning frame 15 provides guidance for the running of the bottles on the discharge conveyor belt 13, ensuring that the bottles are arranged neatly and preventing the bottles from being confused again after reversing.

[0023] Furthermore, the diversion mechanism 14 also includes two linear robotic arms 1401 located above the discharge conveyor belt 13. Each of the two linear robotic arms 1401 is equipped with a gripping cylinder 1402 on its outer side. The output end of the gripping cylinder 1402 is fixedly connected to a scraper 1403. The linear robotic arms 1401, in conjunction with the gripping cylinder 1402 and the scraper 1403, can accurately grip and divert the bottles, conveying bottles facing the same direction to the first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the second connecting conveyor belt 202 respectively.

[0024] Furthermore, a checkweigher 4 is provided between the cartoning device 2 and the stacking device 3. The outlet end of the cartoning device 2 extends into the checkweigher 4, and the outlet end of the checkweigher 4 extends into the stacking device 3. The finished products after cartoning enter the checkweigher 4 along the conveyor belt for online weight detection. Qualified products continue to be conveyed to the stacking device 3, while unqualified products are automatically rejected.

[0025] The working principle of this automated production line for Huoxiang Zhengqi Water outer packaging is as follows: During operation, the feeding machine 11 continuously conveys multiple rows of single-row Huoxiang Zhengqi Water bottles to the reversing mechanism 12. After reversing, the bottles form a unified flow and enter the discharge conveyor belt 13 with positioning frame 15 for orderly arrangement. Subsequently, the two linear robotic arms 1401 of the diversion mechanism 14 drive the scraper 1403 downwards, accurately grabbing five bottles each time and transferring them to the first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the second connecting conveyor belt 202 respectively. The bottles are conveyed forward on the staggered first connecting conveyor belt 201 and the second connecting conveyor belt 202. At the end, two pushing cylinders 205 act intermittently in sequence, pushing a total of 10 bottles into the same material compartment of the feeding synchronous belt 203 in two batches, forming a regular "two rows of ten boxes" bottle array. This bottle array is sent into the cartoning machine 204 along with the feeding synchronous belt 203.

[0026] In cartoning machine 204, empty cartons are automatically opened, positioned, and expanded. Once the full material compartment aligns with the carton opening, a cylinder actuates, pushing 10 bottles into the carton as a whole. The carton then undergoes processes such as folding the lugs and closing the cap to complete the automatic sealing process. The sealed finished products are conveyed to checkweigher 4 by a conveyor belt for weight compliance testing. Qualified products continue into stacking device 3, where they are arranged into rows by the stacker and then pushed out row by row by the ejector mechanism, completing barcode scanning and packing in sequence, ultimately achieving fully automated and efficient production.

[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
