Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment for hygiene products, and in particular to a material handling device for improving packaging efficiency. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, common disposable hygiene products include sanitary napkins, diapers, tissues, and wet wipes. These products are widely used, leading to numerous improvements in both the products themselves and their packaging. The packaging of disposable hygiene products after manufacturing generally falls into two categories: bagging and boxing. Bagging includes individual packaging and bulk packaging after individual packaging. For example, multiple products are packaged in small individual bags to prevent contamination or moisture and to ensure individual sale and use. These smaller packages are then bundled together to form a larger package for sale. Boxing after bagging facilitates subsequent transportation.

[0003] Before packing, the packaged products are first conveyed to a lifting platform via a conveyor. As the lifting platform descends, the packaged products are stacked sequentially on it. Then, a robotic arm picks up the stacked packaged products from the lifting platform and conveys them to the packing equipment for packing. However, the lifting platform cannot be used to stack the next batch of packaged products before the robotic arm picks them up, affecting packing efficiency. Utility Model Content
