Description

Automatic multi-channel distribution device for production line products

Technical Field

The application belongs to the field of automatic production, in particular to an automatic multi-path distribution device for production line products.

Background

With the popularization and development of enterprise information construction, products produced by the method generally begin to adopt digital identity codes (including one-dimensional codes, two-dimensional codes, digital codes, RFID (radio frequency identification) electronic tags and the like) in various identification forms for information management. In order to track the information flow direction and trace the quality source of the product on the market, the digital identity code on the product needs to be corresponding to the data of the packing box in which the product is arranged on a production line. Because the production line usually runs continuously, in order to improve the production efficiency and ensure that the operation processes of manual packaging, tray loading and the like after the box is filled do not need to stop the running of the production line, at least two groups of operators are needed to carry out boxing operation on the product.

The traditional operation scheme is as follows: packing operators are fully seated on two sides of a product production line, a small packing product industrial code reader is installed beside each operator, and a large packing box industrial code reader is installed at a large packing box. In the packing cycle of each large packing box, namely, from the beginning of loading a first small packing product into the large packing box to the end of loading the small packing product into the large packing box, the digital identity code of the large packing box is collected by a large packing box industrial code reader and sent to an on-site industrial personal computer, and the identification digital identity code on the small packing product is manually collected once every time the small packing product is loaded, so that the data correspondence between each large packing box and all the small packing products loaded is realized.

However, the above approach has significant disadvantages: (1) the input equipment is many, each operator needs to be configured with 2 industrial code readers, and the input cost is high; (2) the packaging operation procedures are many, the workload is large, the operation efficiency is extremely low, and the large-scale production cannot be met; (3) the manual counting is easy to make mistakes, and the accuracy of the data corresponding relation between large and small packages is influenced.
