With the rapid development of food industry, people's demand for food is increasing, and the demand for cartoning machinery is becoming increasingly obvious. In order to better ensure quality and safety, food processing enterprises package their products. In the process of food packaging, there is often a process of putting food into boxes and then sealing.
Before, this process was mostly manual cartoning, which was slow and inefficient. The appearance of automatic cartoning machine not only improves the efficiency of cartoning, but also avoids the defects caused by manual operation and ensures the quality of food.
The author understands that the automatic cartoning machine mainly uses a series of complex drives to imitate human actions to automatically load food, drugs, health products and instructions into the corresponding boxes, and automatically complete box lowering, box opening, box filling and box capping. Some fully functional automatic cartoning machines also have additional functions such as affixing sealing labels or heat shrink wrapping. Compared with manual cartoning, automatic cartoning machine can simplify these complex processes. Automatic cartoning machine is now widely used, greatly improving work efficiency and saving labor costs.
However, although the automatic cartoning machine is time-saving and efficient, there will also be some problems if it is operated improperly or incorrectly. For example, sometimes the carton is not easy to be opened or jammed due to slight changes in the size and size of the carton; The stability of the machine after long-term high-speed operation is relatively poor, which requires stable operation, which requires more use of servo systems; After a long time of operation, the accuracy can not meet the requirements, and the synchronization is not good, so the reliability needs to be improved; If the operation reliability of the machine is not high, it should be maintained in time to avoid affecting the production schedule.
Therefore, the existing problems should be dealt with in time, and the working process of the automatic cartoning machine should also be familiar with. According to professionals, the automatic cartoning machine is usually divided into four stages when it works, namely, lowering the box, opening the box, filling, and finally capping the box, and then completing the whole process. First, the material is discharged to the conveyor belt by the discharging device, and then the conveyor belt is equipped with a photoelectric switch to detect whether the discharged product meets the requirements. If it does not meet the requirements, the manual will not be discharged and the box will not be sucked. If it meets the requirements, the PLC will transmit the command to the cassette suction machine.
Secondly, generally speaking, the lower carton action is to suck a carton from the carton feed opening by a suction cup and transport it to the main production line of cartoning. The carton is fixed by a guide rail detent and opened by a push plate. At the same time, two forwardly movable detents will lift up from below to clamp the side of the carton from the front and rear directions, so that the carton can be opened at right angles and moved forward to the loading area to wait for material loading.
In addition, after filling materials and other accessories in the loading area, relevant devices will push the box into the left and right guide rails, and then cover the box. It is worth noting that before closing the box, the machine will first bend the insertion tongue of the carton, and then a push plate will push the box cover to bend, so that the insertion tongue is inserted into the box and the lock catch is fastened. The action of closing the box is a very critical action, and the completion has a great relationship with the structure of the carton and the accuracy of the machine adjustment. Otherwise, the box capping action is not in place, which will directly affect the box loading effect.
Finally, when the food and instructions are accurately pushed into the box, the box will continue to move forward under the drive of the box chain. After that, it passes through the batch number printing device and enters the box capping process after the steel characters are printed. It should be noted that the outlet conveyor belt is equipped with a "defective product" rejection device, which can remove all the defective products detected in the previous food unloading, unpacking, filling and other processes, so as to better ensure that the food packaging boxes meet the process requirements and are all qualified products.
It is undeniable that the automatic cartoning machine not only improves the efficiency of cartoning, saves the cost of manual cartoning for enterprises, but also reduces the error rate of product cartoning to a certain extent and ensures the quality of cartoning. However, the user should deal with the existing problems in time during the operation, and be familiar with the working process of the automatic cartoning machine to ensure the normal operation of the automatic cartoning production line.
