Abstract

The utility model provides a device for grouping articles to be packaged. The articles are conveyed sequentially along the horizontal direction from a regular conveying row, and are collected in groups by means of a synergetic splint mechanism. The push plate mechanism moves the articles collected in groups along the push passage, and the direction of the push passage is the lateral direction of the conveying row, and the articles collected in groups in the splint mechanism are conveyed along the conveying row through the coordinated adjustment mechanism. The position of the conveying direction of the row is adjusted, so that the multiple article groups pushed into the pushing channel by the pushing plate mechanism form a compact arrangement or a nest-like combination or a honeycomb-like combination. During the operation of the device, the groups of items pushed by the push plate mechanism directly form a compact configuration or a nest-like combination or a honeycomb-like combination, and the combination has the advantages of small relative displacement between items, less collision, and less friction.
