It should be noted that the tray 60 in this embodiment is a box body made of plastic material, and a clamping groove is pre-arranged on the tray and can be used for clamping and fixing the product 70. Preferably, four engaging grooves are formed in a single tray 60 side by side, so that four products 70 can be simultaneously installed in the single tray 60, thereby increasing installation capacity. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the card slots may also be two, three or more, and may be specifically set according to actual needs.

In addition, the product 70 mentioned in this embodiment is a cylindrical bottle body, such as shampoo, perfume, etc., and the shape and size of the bottom end of the product 70 are correspondingly matched with the shape and size of the slot, respectively, so that the product 70 can be inserted and fixed in the holder box 60. I.e., four products 70 are simultaneously loaded in each tray 60.

During processing, the products 70 are generally fed from the upstream station to the palletizer in a disordered manner, and the products 70 loaded into the palletizer 60 need to be arranged regularly, so that the disordered products 70 need to be sorted in order before the products 70 enter the positioning tray mechanism 40. That is, in some embodiments of the present application, the product conveying mechanism 20 includes a loading module, a discharging module and a product conveying line 21, the discharging module is connected between the loading module and the product conveying line 21, and the product conveying line 21 is engaged with the positioning tray mechanism 40.

The product conveying line 21 may be, but is not limited to, a pulley conveying line, a link conveying line, etc.

Furthermore, in some embodiments, the product conveying mechanism 20 further comprises a labeling module disposed at one side of the product conveying line 21. If a label is required to be adhered to the surface of the product 70, the labeling module preset on one side of the product conveying line 21 can well perform labeling operation, so that the production requirements are met. Specifically, the labeling module may be any type of labeling device or mechanism based on any working principle in the prior art, and is not described herein in detail.

Since it takes a certain time for the boxing actuator 50 to transfer and insert the products 70 that have entered the positioning tray mechanism 40 into the tray 60, in order to avoid that the excessive products 70 enter the positioning tray mechanism 40 and cause stacking or mutual extrusion, thereby affecting the normal operation of the next boxing actuator 50, the product conveying mechanism 20 further includes a product stop assembly 22, and the product stop assembly 22 is disposed at the end of the product conveying line 21 that is connected with the positioning tray mechanism 40. That is, the product stop assembly 22 can reasonably control the number of the products 70 entering the positioning tray mechanism 40, thereby ensuring continuous and reliable production.

For example, the product stop assembly 22 includes a mounting bracket, a cylinder disposed on the mounting bracket, and a baffle connected to a piston rod of the cylinder. When the cylinder drives the piston cylinder to extend, the baffle plate extends into the conveying channel of the product conveying line 21 to block the product 70, so that excessive product 70 is prevented from entering the positioning tray mechanism 40.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the boxing actuator 50 to simultaneously pick up the four products 70 and insert the four products into the tray 60 according to the preset posture, the products 70 need to be fed into the positioning tray mechanism 40. Also can fall into the location tray 43 on the tray transfer chain 41 by oneself from the product 70 that product transfer chain 21 conveys, preset four bar-shaped positioning groove in the location tray 43 this moment, four products 70 with the roll of prone position one-to-one fall into four positioning groove, with the help of four positioning groove's structure and the characteristics of arranging, the position of four products 70 of restriction that just can be fine, and form required gesture and the interval of arranging, guarantee that follow-up dress box actuating mechanism 50 can reliably pick up. Furthermore, the clamping component 42 preset on the tray conveying line 41 and the positioning tray 43 form a clamping relationship therebetween, so that the positioning tray 43 can be stably and reliably placed, and the positioning tray 43 is prevented from being jumped, toppled or inclined due to impact force at the moment that the product 70 falls onto the positioning tray 43.

Specifically, the clamping assembly 42 includes a first clamping block and a second clamping block, which are respectively disposed at the left and right sides of the tray conveying line 41 and respectively abut against the left and right outer sidewalls of the positioning tray 43. The design of the clamping assembly 42 with the first clamping block and the second clamping block is adopted, so that the structure is simple, and the limiting effect on the positioning tray 43 is obvious.

In some special cases, due to the fact that the products 70 are missing or the products 70 are jammed in the product conveying line 21, the products 70 are missing in some positioning grooves on the positioning tray 43, and the quality of subsequent boxing is affected.
