Description

Bucket Assembly of Automatic Packaging Device {BUCKET ASSEMBLY OF AUTOMATIC PACKING APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a bucket assembly of an automatic packaging apparatus for conveying by integrating the article in a predetermined unit without stopping the article to be conveyed.

A conventional automatic packaging apparatus for packaging an article such as ramen or snacks in a box will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional automatic packaging apparatus, Figure 2 is a perspective view of another conventional automatic packaging apparatus.

As shown in FIG. 1, the article 13 packed in the box 11 is mounted on the conveyor 10 and transported, and the article 13 transported by the conveyor 10 forms a group. It is delivered to and transferred to the bucket 17 which is installed and rotated. Adjacent bucket groups 15a and 15b have a predetermined distance from each other, and each bucket group 15 has a plurality of buckets 17 spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. When the article 13 is supported in one bucket group 15a and transferred to the first position A, the transfer piston 19 moves the article 13 accumulated in the bucket group 15 to the second position B. And the article 13 moved to the second position B are picked up by the suction chuck 25 and loaded into the box 11.

In the conventional automatic packaging apparatus as described above, the bucket and the conveyor must be stopped while the transfer piston moves the article moved to the first position to the second position. That is, since the process of packaging the article is made in the form of repeating "transfer of the article → stop of the article → transfer of the article" there is a disadvantage that the efficiency of transporting and packaging the article per unit time is reduced.

As shown in FIG. 2, the article 13 conveyed by the first conveyor 31 is transferred to the second conveyor 33, and a predetermined number of articles 13 are transferred to the second conveyor 33. Once gathered, there is also an automatic packaging device that absorbs and supports the suction chuck 35 and puts it in the box 11.

Such a conventional automatic packaging device also has to stop the first conveyor 31 and the second conveyor 33 while the suction chuck 35 sucks the article 33 mounted on the second conveyor 33. . Therefore, there is a disadvantage in that the efficiency of transporting and packing the article per unit time is lowered.

In addition, since the article is placed in the lying state and put in a box, the width and width of the article become large. As a result, interference between the article and the edge of the box is generated, which makes it difficult to accurately place the article in the box. In addition, since the width and width of the article is large, there is a disadvantage that the box must be large.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bucket assembly of an automatic packaging device that can be packaged in a box continuously without stopping the goods in transit.
