The present embodiment provides a boxing apparatus, which is not only suitable for boxing operation of box or box packaged objects such as paper, plastic, and metal with regular shapes, but also suitable for boxing operation of irregularly shaped packaged objects with ruffles after being packaged by packaging materials such as electrostatic bags and kraft paper in packaging manners such as plastic packaging, wire sealing, and sticking. Next, the packing device according to the present embodiment will be specifically described by taking as an example the packing operation of the packed material 100 of the cubic article packed by the electrostatic pouch.

Referring first to fig. 2, the packaging apparatus includes a conveying mechanism 1 and a carrying mechanism 2, wherein the conveying mechanism 1 can alternately convey the articles (hereinafter, packages 100) packaged by the electrostatic bags and the packaging boxes 200 for containing the packages 100 to the packaging station. The carrying mechanism 2 is located above or at one side between the two ends of the conveying mechanism 1, and is used for moving the packages 100 into the packing boxes 200.

Exemplarily, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the boxing apparatus includes a conveying roller table 11, an adjusting mechanism 12, and a stopping mechanism 13, wherein:

both ends of the conveying roller table 11 can receive the packages 100 (fed from the right side in fig. 2) and the packing boxes 200 (fed from the left side in fig. 2), respectively, so as to alternately supply the packages 100 and the packing boxes 200 to the carrying mechanism 2 after the conveying roller table 11 is operated in the forward direction (from the right to the left in fig. 2) and in the reverse direction (from the left to the right in fig. 2).

The adjusting mechanism 12 is used for adjusting the posture of the packing box 200 on the conveying roller way 11, so that the conveying roller way 11 can convey the packing box 200 to the packing station after the package 100 is lifted by the carrying mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the adjusting mechanism 12 includes a first lead screw (not shown in the figure) and a first guide rail 121 disposed below the transmission roller way 11 and disposed along an extending direction perpendicular to the transmission roller way 11, two ends of the first guide rail 121 are provided with first sliding blocks 123, the first sliding blocks 123 are provided with a pair of rod bodies 122 extending upward to extend out of the transmission roller way 11 from gaps between rollers of the transmission roller way 11, two sides of the lead screw are provided with reverse threads and are respectively screwed with nuts (not shown in the figure), and the two nuts are respectively fixedly connected with the two first sliding blocks 123, so that after the lead screw is driven to rotate forward or backward by the first motor 123, the pair of rod bodies 122 slide in opposite directions or in a reverse direction, thereby adjusting the position and posture of the packing box 200 on the transmission roller way 11.

The stopping mechanism 13 is used for stopping the packaging box 200 and the packaging object 100 respectively when the conveying roller 11 runs in the forward direction and the reverse direction. The stopping mechanism 13 comprises a first stopping plate 131 and a second stopping plate 132, wherein the first stopping plate 131 can extend out of the conveying roller way 11 from the gap between the rollers of the conveying roller way 11 to stop the packaging box 200 when the conveying roller way 11 runs in the reverse direction, so as to prevent the redundant packaging box 200 from flowing into the carrying mechanism 2; the second stop plate 132 can also extend out of the conveying roller 11 from the gap between the rollers of the conveying roller 11 to stop the packaged objects 100 when the conveying roller 11 is moving forward to flow the packaged objects 100 into the transporting mechanism 2, so that the packaged objects 100 are at the boxing station suitable for the transporting mechanism 2 to transport. Both the first stopper 131 and the second stopper 132 may be driven by an air cylinder.

During the boxing operation, after the conveying mechanism 1 conveys the packages 100 to the boxing station, the carrying mechanism 2 picks up and transfers the packages 100, after the conveying mechanism 1 conveys the packing boxes 200 to the boxing station, the carrying mechanism 2 loads the packages 100 into the packing boxes 200, and finally the conveying mechanism 1 sends out the packing boxes 200 to complete the boxing operation.

Referring to fig. 1, the electrostatic bag is a flat sheet when the article 100 is not packaged, and has a hem 101 formed during thermoforming on three side edges and an opening on the other side. After the electrostatic bag is filled with the product and the opening side is sealed, pressed and fused, a cubic package 100 as shown in fig. 1 is formed, and the package 100 has raised hems 101 at the peripheral side walls and peripheral edges. If the hem 101 is not converged to be attached to the surface of the package 100, the hem 101 may deform by pressing with the sidewall of the package 200 when the package 100 is moved into the package 200, and pull the whole electrostatic bag to distort, so that the overall appearance of the electrostatic bag is uneven, which affects the packaging effect.

For this reason, in the present embodiment, the boxing apparatus further includes a shaping mechanism 3, and the shaping mechanism 3 can move along with the conveying mechanism 2 and press the packages 100 when the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the packages 100, so as to shape and maintain the packages 100 in a shape adapted to the cavity of the packaging box 200. By means of the shaping mechanism 3, when the carrying device carries the package 100, the hem 101 at the periphery of the package 100 can be pressed and converged to be attached to the surface of the package 100, so that the package 100 is shaped into a regular shape, the hem 101 is not contacted with and pulled by the side wall of the packing box 200 when the package 100 is loaded into the packing box 200, and the appearance of the package 100 can be kept flat after being loaded into the packing box 200.

Referring to fig. 4, in order to press and converge all of the raised hems 101 at the peripheral sides and edges of the package 100 during the shaping process, in the present embodiment, the shaping mechanism 3 includes a plurality of shaping plates 31, each shaping plate 31 includes a first plate 311 and a second plate 312 connected at an included angle, and each shaping plate 31 can move toward the edge of the side of the package 100 at the boxing station (i.e., the edge where two adjacent side walls of the package 100 intersect), so that the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 of each shaping plate 31 can respectively press against two adjacent side walls of the package 100 and converge the side (the area with the hems 101) of the package 100 to be attached to the surface of the package 100. It can be understood that the number of the shaping plates 31 is equal to the number of the edges on the peripheral side of the package 100, so that the joint of the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 of each shaping plate 31 can be pressed against each edge of the package 100 in a one-to-one correspondence during the shaping operation, so as to press and converge the raised hem 101 at each edge, and the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 of each shaping plate 31 can also be pressed against each side wall of the package 100, so that two adjacent shaping plates 31 in each group can be matched with the hem 101 at the side wall of the shaping part.

Optionally, shaping plate 31 may completely wrap the sidewalls of package 100 when pressed against package 100 to completely compress and converge hem 101.

Of course, since the hems 101 on the respective sidewalls of the package 100 are integrally connected, if the two connected shaping plates 31 can press and converge the two ends of the hems 101, the non-pressed portion of the middle of the hems 101 can be jointly drawn and converged to the surface of the package 100, so that, in this embodiment, the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 can only press against the edge of the package 100 and a portion of the sidewall adjacent to the edge.

The handling of the package 100 by the handling mechanism 2 can be generally divided into two phases, namely: pick and transfer the package 100 to the cavity opening of the package 200 and place the package entirely in the cavity of the package 200. Since the package 100 is always outside the package 200 in the previous step, that is, the shaping mechanism 3 can continuously press the package 100, it is not necessary to consider whether the shaping plate 31 interferes with the package 200. In the latter process, if the shaping plate 31 is separated from the package 100 during the process of completely placing the package in the cavity of the package 200, the hem 101 of the package 100 may be gradually deformed and restored to an unshaped state with a certain probability, which affects the packaging effect.

Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, when the carrying mechanism 2 carries the packages 100, each of the aligning plates 31 moves together with the packages 100 into the cavity of the package 200 and can move out of the cavity after the packages 100 are completely placed in the cavity, so that the aligning plates 31 can always press the packages 100 after the carrying mechanism 2 picks up the packages 100 until the packages are completely placed in the cavity of the package 200, thereby ensuring the packaging effect of the packages 100.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the shaping plate 31 may be a sheet metal part or an injection molding part made of a rigid thin material (such as engineering plastic, steel sheet, etc.), and the length and the width of the inner cavity of the package 200 should be slightly greater than those of the package 100, so that the shaping plate 31 can move into the cavity of the package 200 together with the package 100 and smoothly move out of the package 200 after the package 100 is completely placed in the cavity.

With continued reference to fig. 4 and with reference to fig. 5, the bending angle of the shaping plate 31 is 90 degrees to fit the cubic object packaged by the electrostatic bag and the opening is toward the inner side of the shaping mechanism 3, so that the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 are just pressed against the edge of the package 100 and a portion of the sidewall adjacent to the edge. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the bending angle or the specific shape of the shaping plate 31 may not be consistent with the shaping plate 31 in this embodiment, and should be configured to fit the shape of the package 100, for example, the cylindrical package 100 is shaped by the arc-shaped shaping plate 31.

In this embodiment, in order to drive each shaping plate 31 to move and press against the electrostatic bag, the shaping mechanism 3 further comprises a driving assembly 32, and the driving assembly 32 comprises a first arm 321, two second arms 322 and four actuating units 323. Both the second arms 322 are slidably mounted to the first arm 321, and the two second arms 322 are respectively slidable in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The four actuating units 323 are respectively installed at two ends of the pair of second arms 322, output ends of the four actuating units 323 are fixedly connected with the shaping plate 31, and can drive each shaping plate 31 to move along a sliding direction perpendicular to the second arms 322, so that the purpose that the four shaping plates 31 can press against four edges of the side portion of the cubic package 100 is achieved.

The actuator 323 is preferably a cylinder having an output shaft axially arranged in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the second arm 322 to drive the shaping plate 31 to move by the telescopic action of the cylinder. Of course, in other embodiments, the actuating unit 323 may be a screw-nut mechanism, a cam-spring mechanism, or the like, which can realize the reciprocating movement of the shaping plate 31 along an axial direction.

Alternatively, the extending direction of the first arm 321 may also slide perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, while ensuring that the two second arms 322 can respectively slide along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and ensuring that the four actuating units 323 can drive the respective shaping plates 31 to move along the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the second arms 322.

Preferably, the pair of second arms 322 are symmetrically disposed at both sides of the first arm 321, and can slide oppositely or oppositely along the extending direction of the first arm 321 at the same time; four actuating units 323 are configured to simultaneously drive the displacement of each shaping plate 31, so that each shaping plate 31 can simultaneously press against package 100.

Specifically, the first arm 321 includes a cross member 3211, and a second rail 3212 and a third rail 3213 that are disposed on the cross member 3211 and extend between two ends of the cross member 3211, and a second slider 3214 and a third slider 3215 are respectively disposed at two ends of the second rail 3212 and the third rail 3213. The second slide block 3214 and the third slide block 3215 located on one side of the cross beam 3211 are relatively fixed to support one of the second arms 322; the second slide block 3214 and the third slide block 3215 on the other side of the cross beam 3211 are relatively fixed to support another second arm 322, a synchronous belt 3216 wheel mechanism is disposed between the second guide rail 3212 and the third guide rail 3213, the synchronous belt 3216 wheel mechanism includes a driving synchronous wheel and a driven synchronous wheel rotatably disposed at two ends of the cross beam 3211, and a synchronous belt 3216 sleeved between the driving synchronous wheel and the driven synchronous wheel, two positions of the synchronous belt 3216 with opposite moving directions are fixedly connected to the second guide rail 3212 on one side of the cross beam 3211 and the third slide block 3215 on the other side of the cross beam 3211, so that when the second motor 3217 drives the driving synchronous wheel and drives the synchronous belt 3216 to rotate, the synchronous belt 3216 can simultaneously drive the two second arms 322 to slide relatively or back to the ground along the extending direction of the first arm 321.

Optionally, the first arm 321 may also have other transmission devices to drive the two second arms 322 to slide relatively or away from each other, for example, a screw rod and a guide rail are provided on the cross beam 3211, the guide rail is used to slidably mount the two second arms 322, two sides of the screw rod are rotatably fixed to the cross beam 3211, two sides of the screw rod are provided with reverse threads and are respectively screwed with nuts, and the two nuts are respectively fixedly connected to the two second arms 322, so that the above-mentioned purpose is achieved by driving the screw rod to rotate in a forward or reverse direction.

In the process of moving the package 100 into the cavity of the package 200, air exists in the package 200 below the package 100, and the air cannot be exhausted only by the gravity of the package 100, that is, the package 100 cannot be completely placed in the cavity of the package 200. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the conveying mechanism 2 further includes a pressing unit 21, and the pressing unit 21 can push down the package 100 after the package 100 moves into the housing.

Referring to fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the pushing unit 21 is a cylinder with an output shaft vertically arranged downward, and the output shaft of the cylinder has a retracted initial position and an extended pushing position. No force is applied to the packages 100 being handled by the handling device when the output shaft of the cylinder is in the initial station, i.e. no contact or just contact with the packages 100. When the output shaft of the cylinder moves from the initial station to the pushing station, the output shaft gradually pushes and pushes the packaging object 100 downwards, and when the output shaft moves to the maximum stroke, the packaging object 100 is just completely placed in the containing cavity of the packaging box 200, and the stroke setting of the output shaft of the cylinder can refer to the specific setting of parameters such as the distance between the carrying device and the transmission mechanism 1, which is the prior art and is not described herein again. And optionally, the pushing unit 21 may also be other mechanisms for facilitating the extending and pushing of the package 100, such as a screw spline pair, an oil cylinder, an electric cylinder, and the like.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the carrying mechanism 2 holds the package 100 by the vacuum chuck, the carrying mechanism includes the first chuck assembly 22 and the first lifting unit 23, the first chuck assembly 22 is used for holding the package 100 at the boxing station, and the first lifting unit 23 can drive the shaping mechanism 3 and the first chuck assembly 22 to move in the vertical direction at the same time.

Specifically, the first chuck assembly 22 is fixed to the first arm 321, and the movable end of the first lifting unit 23 is used to fix the first arm 321, so that the adjusting mechanism 12 and the conveying mechanism 2 can be lifted synchronously when the movable end of the first lifting unit 23 moves up and down.

The first chuck assembly 22 may include four first vacuum chucks 221 arranged in a rectangular pattern, and each first vacuum chuck 221 is in communication with a vacuum source.

In the carrying operation, after the first lifting unit 23 drives the shaping mechanism 3 and the first chuck assembly 22 to move downward in the vertical direction, the first vacuum chuck 221 can contact the upper portion of the package 100 on the transfer mechanism 1, so that the first vacuum chuck 221 can hold the package 100 and the shaping mechanism 3 can shape the package 100. Subsequently, after the first elevating unit 23 drives the shaping mechanism 3 and the first chuck assembly 22 while being elevated in the vertical direction, the package 100 is lifted. Then, the conveying mechanism 1 conveys the packaging box 200 to the lower part of the carrying mechanism 2, the first lifting unit 23 drives the shaping mechanism 3 and the first sucking disc assembly 22 again to move downwards along the vertical direction, the packaging object 100 is placed into the containing cavity of the packaging box 200, the packaging object 100 is completely pressed into the packaging box 200 by the pushing and pressing unit 21, and then the first lifting unit 23 drives the shaping mechanism 3 and the first sucking disc assembly 22 again to move upwards along the vertical direction and reset, and the shaping plate 31 is moved out of the packaging box 200.

In order to be able to adapt to the packages 100 with larger weight or larger size, in the present embodiment, the carrying mechanism 2 further includes a second suction cup assembly 24, and the second suction cup assembly 24 is disposed at the periphery of the first suction cup assembly 22 to be able to cooperate with the first suction cup assembly 22 to hold the packages 100.

Similar to the first chuck assembly 22, the second chuck assembly 24 may also comprise four second vacuum chucks 241 arranged in a rectangular pattern to hold the packages 100 of large size alone or to hold the packages 100 of large weight in cooperation with the first chuck assembly 22.

Referring to fig. 4 and 6, preferably, in the present embodiment, the carrying mechanism 2 further includes a second lifting unit 25, and the second lifting unit 25 can drive the second chuck assembly 24 to move in a vertical direction, so that the second chuck assembly 24 can be lifted above the first chuck assembly 22, or the second chuck assembly 24 can be lowered to be flush with the first chuck assembly 22.

The second lifting unit 25 includes air cylinders respectively fixed to the two second arms 322, and output shafts of the two air cylinders are respectively fixed to the two second vacuum cups of the second suction cup assembly 24, thereby lifting or lowering the second suction cup assembly 24 when the output shafts of the two air cylinders are extended or contracted.

It should be understood that the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Numerous obvious variations, adaptations and substitutions will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
