Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine bottle conveying, and in particular to an automated palletizing and packing system for bottles. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of warehousing, logistics, and packaging engineering, efficient and automated palletizing and packing of fragile items such as glass bottles is crucial for improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and minimizing breakage rates. Currently, the industry widely employs automated or semi-automated systems to handle the conveying, arrangement, and packing of glass bottles. This involves various stacking techniques, such as overlapping, seam-sealing, and crisscrossing stacking methods, to ensure the stability of the stacks and maximize space utilization. These methods typically rely on standardized units such as pallets and forklifts, emphasizing neat, stable, and quantitative stacking, and adhering to strict "five-distance" safety regulations (pile distance, wall distance, column distance, top distance, and light distance) to ensure safety and convenience during storage and handling. Existing technologies also include equipment and solutions designed specifically for the palletizing needs of glass bottles. These include using robotic arms combined with suction cup grippers for picking and placing, and using conveyors and centering mechanisms to position the boxes and align the products, thereby completing the automated packing process.

[0003] However, existing glass bottle palletizing and packing technologies still have significant shortcomings, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-efficiency and high-flexibility production. A prominent technical problem is that although existing systems can achieve basic spacing between rows of glass bottles, the card slots are usually folded structures. When manually unfolding these folded structures and placing them into the glass bottles at the predetermined spacing, the loose folded structure of the card slots often prevents efficient and accurate loading.

[0004] In actual production, the installation of the cassette still largely relies on manual operation, which is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also prone to inaccurate cassette positioning and insecure bottle fixation due to the instability of manual work. This can even increase the risk of breakage during handling and transportation, making it impossible to achieve a truly fully automated production line. This deficiency has become one of the key bottlenecks restricting further improvement in the efficiency of glass bottle packaging. Utility Model Content

[0022] Example 1 like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: An automated bottle palletizing and packing system includes a bottle conveying unit 1, a pallet conveying unit 2, a slot conveying unit 3, a partition conveying unit 4, a palletizing position output unit 5, and a robot arm 6. The robot arm 6 is located at the end of the bottle conveying unit 1, the palletizing position output unit 5 is located behind the robot arm 6, the slot conveying unit 3 and the pallet conveying unit 2 are respectively located on both sides of the palletizing position output unit 5, the partition conveying unit 4 is located between the bottle conveying unit 1 and the pallet conveying unit 2, and slot fixing blocks 7 are provided on the slot conveying unit 3. The robot arm 6 can adsorb and transport the glass bottles on the bottle conveying unit 1, the pallets 8 on the pallet conveying unit 2, the slots 9 on the slot conveying unit 3, and the partitions 10 on the partition conveying unit 4 to the palletizing position output unit 5 for placement.

[0023] Based on the above structure, in this solution, by setting a slot fixing block 7 on the slot conveying unit 3, after the folded slot 9 is manually unfolded, the slot fixing block 7 can maintain the unfolded state of the slot 9, which facilitates the efficient movement of the robot arm 6 when clamping and moving the slot 9, so that the slot 9 unfolded to the predetermined state can be efficiently inserted into the evenly spaced glass bottles; the glass bottle conveying unit 1 is used to transport glass bottles, the pallet conveying unit 2 is used to transport pallets 8, the slot conveying unit 3 is used to transport the unfolded slot 9, the partition conveying unit 4 is used to transport partitions 10, and the stacking position output unit 5 can transport the glass bottles stacked on a predetermined number of layers outward, which is convenient for forklift to carry.

[0024] As an example, the glass bottle conveying unit 1 may include a conveyor belt 11, a placement unit 12, and a receiving platform 13; the placement unit 12 is located at the end of the conveyor belt 11, and the receiving platform 13 is connected to the placement unit 12 as a whole. Based on the above structure, the placement unit 12 is used to neatly arrange the glass according to the predetermined specifications for installation and push it onto the receiving platform 13 for regular stacking. The placement unit 12 is a conventional technical means in this field, and this solution is a call to conventional technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0025] As an example, the cassette conveying unit 3 may include a transmission plate 31, a power mechanism 32, a guide mechanism 33, and a support frame 34; the power mechanism 32 and the guide mechanism 33 are located at the top of the support frame 34, and the bottom of the transmission plate 31 is provided with a first slider 35 that cooperates with the power mechanism 32 and a second slider 36 that cooperates with the guide mechanism 33; under the action of the power mechanism 32, the transmission plate 31 can be driven to move along the length direction of the guide mechanism 33, and the cassette fixing block 7 is provided on the transmission plate 31.

[0026] Based on the above structure, the manual inserts the card slot 9 plate into the transmission plate 31 which is equipped with the card slot fixing block 7. The power mechanism 32 moves the transmission plate 31 from one end of the support frame 34 to the other end of the working range of the robot arm 6, so that the robot arm 6 can grasp the card slot 9.

[0027] As an example, a first receiver 37 and a second receiver 38 are respectively provided on one side of the transmission plate 31, and a first laser 39 and a second laser 310 are provided on one side of the support frame 34 for use with the first receiver 37 and the second receiver 38; the first receiver 37 and the first laser 39 are used together, and the second receiver 38 and the second laser 310 are used together. A start button 311 can also be provided on the support frame 34, and the start button 311 is connected to the power mechanism 32.

[0028] Based on the above structure, the first laser 39 and the first receiver 37 are used to define the end position of the transmission plate 31, and the second laser 310 and the second receiver 38 are used to define the initial position of the transmission plate 31. At the end position, the manual inserts the clip 9 into the transmission plate 31, and the power mechanism 32 is started by the start button 311 to realize the transportation of the transmission plate 31. Since the unfolding of the clip 9 by each worker is different in time, the start button 311 can realize the transportation of the clip 9 more efficiently and safely.

[0029] As an example, the support frame 34 may also be provided with a first support plate 312 and a second support plate 313. The first support plate 312 and the second support plate 313 are symmetrically arranged along the center position of the support frame 34. The guide mechanism 33 may include a first guide rail 314 and a second guide rail 315. The first guide rail 314 and the second guide rail 315 are respectively arranged at the center positions of the first support plate 312 and the second support plate 313.

[0030] Based on the above structure, by setting the first guide rail 314 and the second guide rail 315 to provide guidance for the transmission of the transmission plate 31, the transmission plate 31 can move accurately along the predetermined direction.

[0031] As an example, an auxiliary plate 316 for supporting the power mechanism 32 is provided on the first support plate 312 or the second support plate 313. Based on the above structure, since the pallets to be carried by this solution are relatively light, only one power source is needed to realize the transportation of the 9-pack.

[0032] As an example, the power mechanism 32 can be a telescopic cylinder, with the cylinder body mounted on the auxiliary plate 316 and the piston rod mounted on the first slider 35 or the second slider 36.

[0033] Based on the above structure, the telescopic cylinder can efficiently realize the transportation of the KAG9, and the air source is an easily accessible power source in the factory, which can reduce the overall operating cost.

[0034] As an example, both the pallet conveying unit 2 and the palletizing position output unit 5 adopt a chain-type transmission structure, which includes a drive motor 21, a conveyor chain 22, a drive chain 23 and a drive roller 24. The drive motor 21 is connected to the drive roller 24 through the drive chain 23. The conveyor chain 22 is arranged between the drive rollers 24. The pallet 8 or pallets carried on the conveyor chain 22 are transferred by the action of the drive motor 21.

[0035] As an example, an auxiliary transmission mechanism 41 may be provided in the pallet conveying unit 2 and the palletizing position output unit 5; the auxiliary transmission mechanism 41 may include an auxiliary wheel 42 and an auxiliary motor 43, which are driven by a chain, and the transmission direction of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 41 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the pallet conveying unit 2 and the palletizing position output unit 5.

[0036] Based on the above structure, the auxiliary transmission mechanism 41 can directly transport the pallet 8 on the pallet 8 transport unit to the palletizing output unit 5, reducing the difficulty of subsequent transfer.

[0037] In this scheme, the partition conveyor unit 4 is an existing top-supported conveyor structure.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
