[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A packaging tray installation device includes: a base 100, a product input device 200, a tray feeding device 300, and a tray installation device 400. The product input device 200 is disposed on the base 100 and is used to transport products to be installed in tray 1 to the tray installation station 201. The tray feeding device 300 is disposed on the base 100 and is used to provide tray 1. The tray installation device 400 is disposed on the base 100 and is used to install tray 1 onto the product at the tray installation station 201. The card tray mounting device 400 includes a card tray loading seat 410, a loading seat driver 420, and a mounting pusher mechanism 430. The card tray loading seat 410 is used to receive the card tray 1. The card tray loading seat 410 is provided with at least two pins 411 for inserting and fixing the card tray 1. The loading seat driver 420 is disposed on the base 100 and connected to the card tray loading seat 410. The loading seat driver 420 is used to drive the card tray loading seat 410 to move toward the card tray mounting station 201. The mounting pusher mechanism 430 is disposed on the card tray loading seat 410 and is used to push the card tray 1 out from the pins 411 to install the card tray 1 onto the product at the card tray mounting station 201.

[0023] When installing tray 1 on a product, the product is fed into tray installation station 201 via product input device 200. Tray feeding device 300 provides tray 1. Tray installation device 400 specifically receives tray 1 via tray loading seat 410 and fixes it by inserting pin 411. Then, the loading seat driver 420 drives the tray loading seat 410 to approach tray installation station 201, and at the same time, the installation pusher mechanism 430 pushes tray 1 out from pin 411, thereby installing tray 1 onto the product in tray installation station 201. The above-mentioned packaging tray installation equipment uses pin 411 to insert and fix tray 1, which has good adaptability to trays 1 of different specifications and shapes, and is stable and does not easily deform the tray 1, thus improving the accuracy of tray 1 installation.

[0024] For some foamed card trays 1, due to large dimensional tolerances, the following structure can be adopted to facilitate installation into the product: The card tray mounting device 400 further includes a pin driver 440, which is disposed in the card tray mounting base 410. The pin driver 440 is used to drive at least some of the pins 411 away from each other to open the socket groove of the card tray 1 on the card tray mounting base 410. With the above structure, the socket groove of the card tray 1 can be opened, thus facilitating the smooth insertion of the card tray 1 during interference fit. The design of opening the socket groove of the card tray 1 by driving the pins 411 away from each other is ingenious and easy to achieve.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pins 411 are arranged at intervals, and the pin driver 440 is used to drive at least one pin 411 to perform an outward expansion action, thereby easily achieving the opening of the card holder 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, four pins 411 are specifically arranged at the four corners. The pin driver 440 can drive the two lower pins 411 to move diagonally downwards and away from each other, thereby opening the socket of the card holder 1. The pin driver 440 can be a cylinder or electric push rod corresponding one-to-one with each movable pin 411. The cylinder or electric push rod is obliquely arranged, and the pins 411 are fixed to the moving parts of the pin driver 440, thereby realizing the function of driving the pins 411 to move diagonally and away from each other. It is conceivable that the pin driver 440 can also drive the pins 411 to move away from each other in other directions, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. In addition, the number of pins 411 is not limited to four, and those skilled in the art can also reasonably configure the number of pins 411 according to the actual situation.

[0027] In this embodiment, a card tray positioning device 500 is also included. The card tray positioning device 500 is disposed on the base 100 and is used to position the card tray 1. The card tray positioning device 500 is provided with a card tray adapter mold head 510 and a positioning and transfer mechanism 520. The card tray feeding device 300 corresponds to a card tray discharge station 301. The card tray feeding device 300 is used to send the card tray 1 to the card tray discharge station 301. The positioning and transfer mechanism 520 is used to transfer the card tray 1 on the card tray discharge station 301 and make the card tray 1 fit onto the card tray adapter mold head 510. The card tray mounting device 400 is used to receive and fix the card tray 1 on the card tray adapter mold head 510 through a pin 411. The tray feeding device 300 delivers tray 1 to the tray discharge station 301. The positioning and transfer mechanism 520 of the tray positioning device 500 transfers tray 1 and places it onto the tray adapter mold head 510, thereby positioning tray 1 with its socket as a reference. Then, the tray mounting device 400 receives tray 1 from the tray adapter mold head 510 and installs it onto the product. Using this structure, by setting the tray adapter mold head 510, positioning can be achieved with the socket of tray 1 as a reference, thus accurately installing tray 1 onto the product, resulting in high production precision and improved production efficiency.

[0028] It is conceivable that in some embodiments, other structures can be used to position the card holder 1, such as using visual recognition to position the card holder 1, which can also improve the accuracy of installation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the tray discharge station 301 and the tray mounting device 400 are arranged horizontally. The tray positioning device 500 includes a movable base 530 and a movable base driver 540. The tray adapter die head 510 is connected to the movable base 530. The movable base 530 is movably disposed relative to the machine base 100. The movable base 530 can move to the receiving positioning position and the feeding position: in the receiving positioning position, the tray adapter die head 510 is opposite to the tray discharge station 301; in the feeding position, the tray adapter die head 510 is opposite to the tray loading seat 410. The movable base driver 540 is disposed on the machine base 100 and connected to the movable base 530. The movable base driver 540 is used to drive the movable base 530 to change position. With the above structure, the card tray adapter head 510 can move to the receiving and feeding positions respectively, collect the card tray 1 for positioning and provide the positioned card tray 1 to the card tray mounting device 400. The card tray positioning device 500 also acts as a transfer mechanism to transfer the card tray 1. The workpiece is transferred in an orderly manner, which also helps to simplify the equipment structure.

[0030] In this embodiment, the movable seat 530 can be slidably mounted on the base 100 via a linear slide rail or guide rod, thereby achieving position movement. In this embodiment, the movable seat driver 540 can be a cylinder or an electric push rod, etc.

[0031] Of course, it is conceivable that in some embodiments, the structure of the movable card tray adapter 510 described above may not be used. For example, the card tray adapter 510 may be fixed in one place, and the card tray 1 on the card tray adapter 510 may be collected by the card tray mounting device 400 or another moving mechanism.

[0032] In this embodiment, the movable seat 530 is in the receiving and positioning position, and the card tray adapter mold head 510 faces the card tray discharge station 301. The positioning and transfer mechanism 520 includes a carrier seat 521 and a carrier seat driver 522. The carrier seat 521 is used to receive the card tray 1 at the card tray discharge station 301. The carrier seat driver 522 is disposed on the base 100 and connected to the carrier seat 521. The carrier seat driver 522 is used to drive the carrier seat 521 to move towards the card tray adapter mold head 510 and to drive the carrier seat 521 back to the card tray discharge station 301. With the above structure, the card tray 1 at the card tray discharge station 301 can be pushed and fitted onto the card tray adapter mold head 510 in a simple and reliable manner, and the mechanism operates reliably and stably. In this embodiment, the carrier seat driver 522 can be a cylinder or an electric push rod, etc., and can be configured according to the actual situation. It is conceivable that the positioning and transfer mechanism 520 is not limited to the above-mentioned pushing structure; for example, a robotic arm can be used to transfer the card tray 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the card tray positioning device 500 includes a demolding and pushing mechanism 550, which is disposed on the movable seat 530 and used to push the card tray 1 from the card tray adapter mold head 510 to the card tray loading seat 410. After the card tray 1 is fitted into the card tray adapter mold head 510 and positioned, the movable seat 530 moves to the feeding position. At this time, the card tray 1 can be directly pushed out to the card tray loading seat 410 for fixing by the demolding and pushing mechanism 550. With the above structure, the card tray 1 can be directly pushed from the card tray adapter mold head 510 to the pin 411 of the card tray loading seat 410 for fixing by the pushing method, which has high transfer efficiency and simple structure.

[0034] In this embodiment, the card tray loading seat 410 is positioned opposite to the card tray mounting station 201 and can move linearly toward and away from the card tray mounting station 201. The loading seat driver 420 is a linear driver for driving the card tray loading seat 410 to reciprocate linearly. The pin 411 is parallel to the direction of movement of the card tray loading seat 410 and faces the side where the card tray mounting station 201 is located. When the moving seat 530 is in the feeding position, the card tray adapter die head 510 enters between the card tray mounting station 201 and the card tray loading seat 410 and faces the card tray loading seat 410. When the moving seat 530 is in the receiving and positioning position, the card tray adapter die head 510 and the moving seat 530 move away from the position between the card tray mounting station 201 and the card tray loading seat 410.

[0035] When the card tray loader 410 receives the card tray 1, the card tray adapter head 510 can enter between the card tray mounting station 201 and the card tray loader 410 to provide the card tray 1 to the card tray loader 410. When the card tray 1 is installed onto the product, the card tray adapter head 510 and the moving seat 530 can be moved away from the position between the card tray mounting station 201 and the card tray loader 410. The loader driver 420 can then drive the card tray loader 410 to approach the card tray mounting station 201 and install the card tray 1 onto the product through the installation pusher mechanism 430. When it is necessary to provide the card tray loader 410 with the card tray 1 again, the loader driver 420 resets the position of the card tray loader 410, so that the card tray adapter head 510 can re-enter between the card tray mounting station 201 and the card tray loader 410. With the above structure, the movable card tray adapter head 510 can be used to directly configure the card tray loading seat 410 as a linear motion structure that moves closer to and further away from the card tray mounting station 201, thereby simplifying its action structure and making it convenient to use a simple linear driver for driving; in addition, through the above settings, the structure of the equipment is also more compact, which helps to reduce the size of the equipment.

[0036] In this embodiment, the loading seat driver 420 can be a linear motor or a lead screw moving platform, and the card tray loading seat 410 can be directly fixed to the moving part of the loading seat driver 420, thereby enabling the movement to approach and move away from the card tray installation station 201.

[0037] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the operation of the card tray loading seat 410 is not limited to the above-described implementation scheme. For example, the card tray loading seat 410 can actively move to the position corresponding to the card tray adapter head 510 by the loading seat driver 420 to collect the card tray 1. The loading seat driver 420 can adopt a multi-axis robotic arm structure to realize the movement of the card tray loading seat 410.

[0038] In one embodiment, the installation of the pusher mechanism 430 and the demolding pusher mechanism 550 may include a pusher component and a telescopic actuator for driving the pusher component. The telescopic actuator is, for example, a cylinder or an electric push rod, etc., which drives the pusher component to move, thereby realizing the corresponding push-out action. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the pusher mechanism may also use multiple telescopic actuators to simultaneously push out the tray 1 at different positions. It is understood that in the art, the pusher mechanism is a conventional mechanism, and there are many specific embodiments in the prior art. Those skilled in the art can refer to the specific settings according to the actual situation.

[0039] In this embodiment, the card tray adapter mold 510 has chamfered edges around its perimeter, which facilitates the card tray 1 to be smoothly fitted onto the card tray adapter mold 510.

[0040] For some existing foam-made card trays 1, a card tray material 2 containing multiple card trays 1 is first manufactured. The multiple card trays 1 are arranged in a rectangular array, with slitting gaps between them, allowing the card trays 1 to be separated by external force. Regarding the above structure, the card tray feeding device 300 can adopt the following structure: In this embodiment, the card tray feeding device 300 includes a card tray material feeding mechanism 310, a flipping frame 320, a flipping driver 330, and a card tray pusher mechanism 340. The flipping frame 320 is rotatably arranged relative to the base 100. The flipping frame 320 is provided with a card tray receiving groove 321. The flipping frame 320 can rotate to positions where the opening of the card tray receiving groove 321 faces horizontally and upward. The card tray material feeding mechanism 310 is used to provide card tray material 2 and to push the card tray material 2 horizontally toward the card tray receiving groove 321. The flipping driver 330 is connected to the flipping frame 320 and is used to drive the flipping frame 320 to move. One end of the card tray receiving groove 321 along the length direction is provided with a push-out port, which is used to be adjacent to the card tray discharge station 301. The card tray pusher mechanism 340 is used to push the card tray strip in the card tray receiving groove 321 toward the push-out port.

[0041] During feeding, the tilting frame 320 is first rotated by the tilting drive 330 until the slot of the card tray receiving groove 321 faces horizontally. Then, the card tray material 2 is fed into the tilting frame 320 by the card tray feeding mechanism 310, so that a row of card trays 1 at the end of the card tray material 2 is received in the card tray receiving groove 321. Then, the tilting frame 320 is rotated by the tilting drive 330 so that the slot of the card tray receiving groove 321 faces upward, thus allowing a row of card trays 1 to be pried off the card tray material 2. Next, the card tray pushing mechanism 340 pushes a row of card trays 1 towards the ejector, so that one card tray 1 at the end enters the card tray discharge station 301, completing the function of transferring the card tray 1 to the card tray discharge station 301. The individual card tray 1 located at the card tray discharge station 301 can be easily pried off and used later by the pushing mechanism or the gripping mechanism. The aforementioned card tray feeding device 300 can feed the card tray material 2 in sections. It has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and operates stably and reliably.

[0042] In this embodiment, the positioning and transfer mechanism 520 is a pusher structure for pushing a single card tray 1 toward the card tray adapter head 510, thereby pushing out a single card tray 1 located at the card tray discharge station 301 and providing it to the card tray adapter head 510.

[0043] In this embodiment, the pusher bar mechanism 340 may include a pusher component and a motion driver for driving the pusher component to move. The motion driver may be, for example, a linear motor, a lead screw moving platform, etc.; or the pusher bar mechanism 340 may employ a chain conveyor, with the pusher component fixed on the chain conveyor, and the pusher component is moved by the chain conveyor to achieve the pushing of materials. It is understood that there are many implementation methods for pushing workpieces in the art, and specific implementations can be carried out with reference to existing structures.

[0044] In this embodiment, the card tray feeding device 300 further includes a stop mechanism 350. The stop mechanism 350 has a retractable stop plate that can stop and allow space to be provided at the push-out opening of the card tray receiving groove 321. This allows the stop plate to stop and position subsequent card trays 1 when pushing a single row of card trays 1, thereby improving production accuracy. Specifically, the stop mechanism 350 can be equipped with a cylinder or an electric push rod to drive the stop plate to retract.

[0045] In this embodiment, the pallet material feeding mechanism 310 includes a vertical stacking frame 311 and a pallet material pushing mechanism 312. The vertical stacking frame 311 is provided with a stacking cavity for vertically stacking pallet materials 2. The lower end of the vertical stacking frame 311 is provided with a pallet material feeding outlet 3111. The pallet material feeding outlet 3111 is connected to the lower end of the stacking cavity. When the slot of the pallet strip receiving groove 321 is horizontal, the pallet material feeding outlet 3111 is opposite to the slot of the pallet strip receiving groove 321. The pallet material pushing mechanism 312 is located on the side of the pushing cavity away from the pallet material feeding outlet 3111 and is opposite to the pallet material feeding outlet 3111. The pallet material pushing mechanism 312 is used to push the pallet material 2 toward the pallet material feeding outlet 3111. The aforementioned pallet feeding mechanism 310 can vertically stack pallet materials 2 in the stacking cavity of the vertical stacking frame 311. When pushing the pallet materials 2 into the pallet strip receiving groove 321, the pallet material pushing mechanism 312 can push the bottom pallet material 2 out through the pallet material feeding outlet 3111 and into the pallet strip receiving groove 321. When the pallet materials 2 are consumed by peeling off the pallet 1 column by column, the pallet material pushing mechanism 312 can be reset, and the vertically stacked pallet materials 2 fall down again, so that new pallet materials 2 can be pushed again. The pallet material feeding mechanism 310 adopts the above structure, which can vertically stack the pallet materials 2 for feeding. The overall structure is compact and saves space.

[0046] In one embodiment, the flipping frame 320 may be hinged to the lower part of the vertical stacking frame 311 or directly hinged to the base 100. In another embodiment, the flipping drive 330 may be a rotary cylinder or a motor, etc.

[0047] In this embodiment, the pallet material pushing mechanism 312 can be configured with reference to some of the aforementioned implementations of pushing mechanisms, which will not be repeated here.

[0048] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the card tray material feeding mechanism 310 is not limited to using the above-described structure to push the card tray material 2 into the card tray receiving groove 321. For example, a gripping robot can be used to grab the card tray material 2 from the outside and push it directly into the card tray receiving groove 321.

[0049] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the tray feeding device 300 is not limited to the above-described implementation. For example, it may employ a conveying structure capable of transporting individual trays 1, with each tray 1 being individually conveyed to the tray discharge station 301. The conveying structure could be, for example, a combination of a pusher chute and a pusher mechanism, or a conveyor. It is understood that there are many existing methods in the art for conveying parts to be assembled or processed to equipment, and those skilled in the art can configure them according to specific circumstances.

[0050] In this embodiment, the product input device 200 is a chain conveyor. The chain conveyor has a circulating chain that passes through the tray installation station 201, and multiple product fixing positions are arranged along the chain's extension direction.

For example, it can employ a conveyor slide to transport the product to the tray mounting station 201. The conveyor slide can be configured with a stop mechanism 350 and a push mechanism to achieve orderly product transport. It is understood that there are many existing methods for transporting parts to be assembled or processed in the art, and those skilled in the art can make specific configurations according to the actual situation.

[0053] In this embodiment, two sets of the tray feeding device 300, tray positioning device 500, and tray mounting device 400 are provided and respectively located on both sides of the product input device 200. Using this structure, trays 1 can be installed on both sides of the product simultaneously, resulting in high production efficiency.

[0054] It is conceivable that in some embodiments, a flipping mechanism can be used to drive the product to rotate 180 degrees to install the card holders 1 at both ends, thus eliminating the need for two sets of devices.

[0055] In this embodiment, a discharge robot 600 is also included, which is used to grab the product from the tray installation station 201 and deliver it to the outside. With the above structure, the product with the tray 1 installed can be delivered in a timely manner.

[0056] In the embodiments, the base 100 is a structure for supporting various devices, which can be a single unit or multiple separate units corresponding to different devices.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
