Research Of Teabag Autonatic Cartoning Machine And Its Control System

Tea bag，a popular drink convenient to carry and enjoy, is suitablefor different occasions such as trip, office, hotel and entertainment. Thepackaging of tea is achieved manually in the past decades. However,with the continuous improvement of science and technology andincreasing labor wages, several automatic food packaging machineryare gradually used in tea packaging, and the professional automatic teapackaging machinery has come out eventually. Although the automationof teabag packing has been achieved, the processes of cartoning is stillmanually operated especially in the small bags automatic cartoningmachine. This passage is to research and develop a teabag automaticcartoning machine for small and medium-sized enterprises to meet therequirement of tea machinery automation.Based on the current development of some problems in cartoningmachinery and the analysis process of teabag cartoning machine, thispassage establish a teabag automatic cartoning machine overallprogram，then determine the function，application range and processroute of cartoning machine, finally draw up the work cycle diagramand the main technical parameters.This passage complete mechanical design of the key structure ofteabag automatic cartoning machine. According to the process route ofteabag automatic cartoning machine, this passage presents a reasonableoverall scheme including feeding mechanism, opening and closingmechanism, boxing organization and closed box body in accordance with the finite element analysis of some key structures. Based on theresearch and calculation of the Pro/E three-dimensional solid modeland assembly mainly to establish carton box blank positions, thefeeding mechanism, forming a three-dimensional entity institutionsopen box, pusher mechanism box sealing devices and other model,therefore virtual assembly in Pro/E is achieved.As for control system of cartoning machine, this passage completethe control system design of teabag automatic cartoning machine, Thedesign of main control system is pointed out including hardware designand software design, and the design of touch screen enjoys a fascinatingman-machine interface environment. S7-200series PLC produced bySiemens is applied in the control system in accordance with aprogramming flowchart to realize automatic control function.The main subject of this passage is teabag automatic cartoningmachine used to packaging teabag and other items. This automaticcartoning machine is able to meet the huge market demand and advancethe rapid development of China’s automatic packaging machinery, thusreducing production costs and improving productivity.
