Description

A packing device and corresponding packing method

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field, in particular to a packing device and a corresponding packing method.

Background technique

The final step of product production is usually packing the product, and packing equipment is generally used for automatic packing of the assembly line. Among them, the packing equipment is a kind of equipment that semi-automatically or automatically packs unpacked products or small-packed products into cartons or plastic boxes for transportation and packing. The specific working process is: first open the carton , Grab the product through the grabbing device and move it into the carton, and then use the sealing device for packaging, and if necessary, it can also perform operations such as marking.

In some cases, in order to improve the packing efficiency, the products will be stacked in advance, so that several products form a relatively neat whole, and then the grasping device of the packing equipment will grab them and move them as a whole to the in the carton. In Chinese Patent CN201610173090.3 "Automatic Packing Line and Method for Packing Boxes", the grabbing device used is a vacuum suction cup with adsorption function, and the neatly stacked products are adsorbed by the suction cup and then moved to the top of the carton and then moved to the top of the carton. When the product is lowered, the product enters the carton. However, during the process of adsorbing the product, the grabbing device is likely to cause displacement of the product due to uneven adsorption. At the same time, the pre-stacking of the product is prone to product deviation, and the products cannot be closely spaced. Fitting, after being sucked by the suction cup, will maintain this state of not being closely fitted, resulting in the process of the suction cup descending into the carton, the stacked products cannot enter the carton because the size of the outer circumference is larger than the size of the carton.

Therefore, in view of the situation where multiple products are pre-stacked as a whole, it is necessary to improve the packing equipment and the corresponding packing method to solve the problem of packing failure caused thereby.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems existing in the background technology, and to provide a packing device and a corresponding packing method, which can efficiently pack a plurality of products in a pre-stacked situation, and solve the problem of packing failure problem.
