Abstract

An electronic product packaging system includes a robot on which a vacuum suction device adapted to pick up a packaging box and a gripper adapted to grab an electronic product are disposed, a packaging box loading platform adapted to load a pile of a plurality of the packaging boxes stacked together, a product loading device having a loading groove adapted to load a row of a plurality of the electronic products, and a packaging platform carrying the electronic products and the packaging boxes. The robot is configured to pick up the packaging box from the packaging box loading platform and place the packaging box on the packaging platform with the vacuum suction device. The robot is configured to grab the electronic product from the product loading device and place and pack the electronic product into the packaging box on the packaging platform with the gripper.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic product packaging system, comprising:
a robot on which a vacuum suction device adapted to pick up a packaging box and a gripper adapted to grab an electronic product are disposed;
a packaging box loading platform adapted to load a pile of a plurality of the packaging boxes stacked together;
a product loading device having a loading groove adapted to load a row of a plurality of the electronic products; and
a packaging platform carrying the electronic products and the packaging boxes, the robot is configured to pick up the packaging box from the packaging box loading platform and place the packaging box on the packaging platform with the vacuum suction device, the robot is configured to grab the electronic product from the product loading device and place and pack the electronic product into the packaging box on the packaging platform with the gripper.

2. The electronic product packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the loading groove keeps the electronic products loaded therein in a predetermined posture, the predetermined posture is a posture in which the electronic products are placed and packaged into the packaging boxes.

3. The electronic product packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the product loading device includes a loading track in which the loading groove is formed, the electronic products loaded in the loading groove are adapted to slide forward along the loading groove.

4. The electronic product packaging system of claim 3 , wherein the product loading device includes a pushing mechanism adapted to push the electronic products in the loading groove to a predetermined grab location one by one.

5. The electronic product packaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a pair of packaging box loading platforms arranged side by side, the packaging box loading platforms are configured to simultaneously or alternately load the packaging boxes.

6. The electronic product packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the packaging box loading platform has a loading area and a picking area, the packaging box is first loaded in the loading area and then moved to the picking area.

7. The electronic product packaging system of claim 6 , wherein the vacuum suction device is configured to pick up the packaging box from the picking area of the packaging box loading platform.

8. The electronic product packaging system of claim 7 , further comprising a propelling device adapted to push the packaging box from the loading area to the picking area.

9. The electronic product packaging system of claim 7 , further comprising a safety door capable of being opened and closed, the safety door is located between the loading area and the picking area.

10. The electronic product packaging system of claim 9 , wherein, when the safety door is closed, the loading area and the picking area of the packaging box loading platform are separated.

11. The electronic product packaging system of claim 1 , further comprising an unloading platform and a pushing device adapted to push the packaging box that has been filled with the electronic products from the packaging platform to the unloading platform.

12. The electronic product packaging system of claim 11 , further comprising a pair of unloading platforms arranged side by side, the two unloading platforms can simultaneously or alternately carry the packaging boxes filled with the electronic products.

13. The electronic product packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the vacuum suction device has a plurality of vacuum suction nozzles, the plurality of vacuum suction nozzles are adapted to be simultaneously adsorbed on a same surface of the packaging box.

14. The electronic product packaging system of claim 13 , wherein the vacuum suction nozzles are formed with a plurality of vacuum suction holes distributed in an array to ensure uniform suction force.

15. The electronic product packaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a product supply device for supplying the electronic products into the loading groove of the product loading device.

16. The electronic product packaging system of claim 15 , wherein the product supply device is a belt conveyor that transports the electronic products to the loading groove of the product loading device one by one through a conveyor belt.
