Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of packaging assembly line conveying equipment, and specifically to a packaging buffer device. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production in industries such as beverages and daily chemicals, buffer stations are key devices connecting upstream and downstream equipment, and it is necessary to address the issues of container accumulation or supply disruptions caused by production capacity fluctuations. Existing technologies suffer from three major drawbacks: First, they are highly specialized; the rigid clamping structure of bottle buffer stations easily deforms Tetra Pak cartons, while flexible conveying mechanisms cannot stably transport canned containers. Second, during the buffering process, containers are prone to compression due to uneven spacing, leading to bottle neck breakage for bottles and seal failure for Tetra Pak cartons. Third, they lack dynamic adaptability; when the production line switches container types, it requires downtime to replace conveying components, impacting production efficiency.

[0003] While patent CN217805453U saves space through alternating forward and reverse channels, its reliance on container pushing and transfer results in a high deformation rate. The automatic caching platform of CN214930817U is only compatible with a single container form and requires a complete overhaul when switching products. Utility Model Content
