In other words, the surface of at least one of the first clamping arm 321 and the second clamping arm 322 facing the clamping space is provided with the elastic buffer layer 338, so that when the first clamping arm 321 and the second clamping arm 322 clamp the object 50, the elastic buffer layer 338 can play a role of buffering to prevent the surface of the clamped object 50 from being worn. The resilient buffer 338 may be a rubber layer, a felt layer, or the like. In the example of fig. 11, the elastic buffer layer 338 is provided on each of the first and second clamp arms 321 and 322.

In some embodiments of the present application, with reference to fig. 1-2 and 19, the consumable supply mechanism 20 includes a consumable cartridge 21, and the lifting clamping mechanism 30 carries the article 50 placed in the consumable 27 when the lifting clamping mechanism 30 is lifted to pass through the consumable cartridge 21 from below and the carrying surface of the lifting clamping mechanism 30 is not lower than the upper end of the consumable cartridge 21; in the case where the lifting and lowering jig mechanism 30 is lowered to drag the consumable 27 containing the article 50 to the state where the article 50 corresponds to the sealing and cutting mechanism 40, the sealing and cutting mechanism 40 cuts and seals the consumable 27 containing the article 50. When the elevator gripping mechanism 30 includes the tray panel 332, the carrying surface of the elevator gripping mechanism 30 refers to the upper surface of the tray panel 332. The bearing surface of the lifting clamping mechanism 30 can be exposed upwards from the upper end of the consumable box 21, and can also be flush with the upper end of the consumable box 21.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 19, the consumable cartridge 21 has a first side 211 and a second side 213 opposite to each other and a through hole 215 penetrating the first side 211 and the second side 213, i.e., the first side 211 is an upper end surface of the consumable cartridge 21 and the second side 213 is a lower end surface of the consumable cartridge 21. The item 50 can pass through the through-hole 215 to be wrapped by the consumable 27, e.g., the item 50 moves from the first side 211 to the second side 213 to enter the through-hole 215.

In some embodiments, the consumable supply mechanism 20 further includes a fixing unit 23 disposed on the consumable cartridge 21, the fixing unit 23 is disposed on the first side 211 or the second side 213, and the fixing unit 23 is used for fixing the consumable 27 to the consumable cartridge 21. In one embodiment, the second surface 213 of the consumable box 21 has a receptacle 2130, the fixing unit 23 is disposed in the receptacle 2130, and the consumable 27 partially extends into the receptacle 2130 to connect to the fixing unit 23 and block the through hole 215.

In some embodiments, the elevator gripping mechanism 30 may include an adsorption component capable of adsorbing the consumables 27 and pulling the consumables 27 out of the consumable cartridge 21.

In some embodiments, the lifting clamp mechanism 30 is located below the consumable cartridge 21. In this way, even if the lifting clamping mechanism 30 does not adsorb the consumable part 27, when the lifting clamping mechanism 30 bears the object 50 to be packaged and moves up and down, the consumable part 27 is pressed on the lifting clamping mechanism 30 by the object 50 to be packaged and moves together. In other embodiments, the lifting clamping mechanism 30 may also be located above the consumable cartridge 21, and is not limited herein. In this case, the lifting and lowering mechanism 30 may be attached to pull the consumables 27 out of the consumables cartridge 21.

Referring to fig. 1-2 and 19, in some embodiments, the fixing unit 23 is disposed on the second surface 213. The lifting clamping mechanism 30 is located at the side where the second surface 213 of the consumable box 21 is located. When the object 50 to be packaged needs to be packaged, the lifting assembly 31 moves through the through hole 215 of the consumable box 21, and the carrying surface of the clamping assembly 32 is exposed from the through hole 215 to wait for carrying the object 50 to be packaged put into the packaging device 100; in this case, the size of the clamping assembly 32 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 215, and the consumable 27 moves to the side of the first surface 211 of the consumable box 21 along with the elevating clamping mechanism 30. After the article 50 to be packaged is placed in the lifting clamping mechanism 30, the article 50 to be packaged is pressed above the consumable 27, and the lifting clamping mechanism 30 drives the article 50 to be packaged to pass through the through hole 215 from the side where the first surface 211 of the consumable box 21 is located to the side where the second surface 213 of the consumable box 21 is located, so that the bottom and the side of the article 50 to be packaged are wrapped by the consumable 27. Referring to fig. 20 and 21, the sealing and cutting mechanism 40 can cut off the consumable 27 wrapping the object 50 to be packaged from the consumable box 21, and can seal the opening of the consumable 27 wrapping the object 50 to be packaged, so that the consumable 27 forms a closed accommodating space 271 to completely wrap the object 50 to be packaged therein.

In another embodiment, when the object 50 to be packaged needs to be packed, the lifting and clamping mechanism 30 does not need to pass through the through hole 215 and ascend to the side of the first side 211 to wait for the object 50 to be packaged to be put in, and the lifting and clamping mechanism 30 only needs to stay at the side of the second side 213 to wait for the object 50 to be packaged to be put in. In this way, the holding member 32 does not need to pass through the through hole 215, but the object 50 to be packaged passes through the through hole 215 and falls on the holding member 32, and at this time, the size of the holding member 32 does not need to be smaller than the aperture of the through hole 215, and can have a larger size to provide a more stable carrying capacity. For example, in one example, the height of the object 50 to be packaged is higher than the height of the consumable box 21, and the object 50 to be packaged can be directly placed on the clamping assembly 32 located on the side where the second surface 213 of the consumable box 21 is located through the through hole 215.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1-2 and 19, the outer wall of the consumable box 21 of the consumable supply mechanism 20 may further include a connection plate 25, and the connection plate 25 is fixedly connected to the sidewall 11 to fix the consumable box 21 to the frame 10.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 19-21, the consumable 27 is cylindrical, the consumable 27 is formed with a containing space 271, and the consumable 27 includes an initial closed end 272 and an open end 273 opposite to the closed end, wherein the end of the consumable 27 connected to the fixing unit 23 is the open end 273, and the bottom of the containing space 271 is the closed end 272. The open end 273 faces the through hole 215, and the article 50 can be accommodated in the consumable 27 and supported by the closed end 272, specifically, the article 50 to be packaged can be put into the accommodating space 271 from the open end 273 and supported by the closed end 272. The part between the opening end 273 and the closed end 272 of the consumable 27 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 2130, the consumable 27 can be pulled when the lifting clamping mechanism 30 is lifted, and the part of the consumable 27 accommodated in the accommodating groove 2130 is pulled out, so that the consumable 27 extends out of the consumable box 21 by any length to pack the to-be-packaged articles 50 with different sizes and different quantities. The larger the number and the larger the size of the articles 50 to be packaged packed by the consumables 27, the more the portion of the consumables 27 protrudes from the consumable supply mechanism 20. For example, the object 50 to be packaged is a meal box, and when a meal box needs to be packed, the lifting clamping mechanism 30 pulls the consumable 27 to move relative to the consumable box 21, so that the consumable 27 extends out of the consumable box 21 by a first length; in the case where it is desired to pack two meal boxes, the consumable 27 is extended from the consumable box 21 by a second length, the second length being greater than the first length. The sealing and cutting mechanism 40 can cut off the portion of the consumable 27 protruding from the consumable supply mechanism 20, and can seal the opening of the accommodating space 271 containing the object 50 to be packaged to form a completely sealed accommodating space 271, and completely wrap the object 50 to be packaged therein.

Referring to fig. 1-2 and 19, in another embodiment, the consumable 27 may be made of a flexible material. After waiting that packing article 50 is put into consumptive material 27, lift fixture 30 drives and waits that packing article 50 removes to make consumptive material 27 extend and can hold the accommodation space 271 of waiting packing article 50 with the formation, so, the parcel that packing article 50 was treated to consumptive material 27 is comparatively inseparable. The sealing and cutting mechanism 40 can cut off the portion of the consumable 27 extending out of the accommodating space 271, and can seal the opening of the accommodating space 271 containing the object 50 to be packaged to form a completely sealed accommodating space 271, so as to completely wrap the object 50 to be packaged.

Referring to fig. 19, in some embodiments, the consumable 27 includes a packaging portion corresponding to the position of the sealing and cutting mechanism 40 and used for packaging the object 50 to be packaged, and a portion to be packaged connecting the consumable box 21 and the packaging portion. The seal-cutting mechanism 40 is used for sealing the packing portion, sealing the portion to be packed to form a new closed end, and cutting the packing portion and the portion to be packed.

The packaging part and the part to be packaged of the consumable 27 are not parts divided on the consumable 27 in advance, but parts divided according to packaging requirements, so that the packaging part of the consumable 27 is determined according to the number and the size of the articles 50 to be packaged to adapt to different packaging scenes. In one embodiment, the seal-and-cut mechanism 40 is capable of cutting the consumables 27 protruding from the consumable cartridge 21 into two parts, one part still connected to the consumable cartridge 21 as the part to be packaged; the other part contains the item to be packaged 50 and is separated from the part to be packaged of the consumable 27, which is a packaging part. Further, when the lifting clamping mechanism 30 drives the consumable 27 and the to-be-packaged article 50 to move to the position where the to-be-packaged article 50 corresponds to the sealing and cutting mechanism 40, a part of the consumable 27 to be cut by the sealing and cutting mechanism 40 and separated from the consumable box 21 belongs to a packaging part, and the to-be-packaged article 50 is accommodated in the packaging part. That is, when the consumable 27 is moved to a position waiting for cutting, the packaging portion and the portion to be packaged can be determined.

Referring to fig. 1-2, in some embodiments, the consumable cassette 21 is located above the sealing and cutting mechanism 40, and the consumables 27 are pulled by the lifting and clamping mechanism 30 to a position corresponding to the sealing and cutting mechanism 40 to wait for cutting and packaging. Before the sealing and cutting mechanism 40 cuts the consumable 27, the packaging part is positioned below the cutting position of the sealing and cutting mechanism 40 for the consumable 27, the part to be packaged is positioned above the cutting position, and the part to be packaged is connected with the consumable box 21 and the packaging part; after the seal-cutting mechanism 40 cuts the consumable 27, the packaging portion is separated from the portion to be packaged.

In one embodiment, sealing and cutting mechanism 40 first cuts consumable 27 and then seals the cut consumable 27. Since the junction of the packaging part and the part to be packaged is the wall of the cylindrical consumable 27 before cutting, an opening appears above the packaging part and below the part to be packaged after cutting, respectively. The sealing and cutting mechanism 40 is used for sealing the opening above the packaging part, so that the packaging part forms a completely closed accommodating space 271 to wrap the object 50 to be packaged; and a sealing means for sealing an opening below the portion to be packed to form a new closed end to catch the bottom of the item to be packed 50 when packing the next item to be packed 50.

In yet another embodiment, sealing and cutting mechanism 40 seals consumables 27 prior to cutting consumables 27 after sealing. When the consumable 27 is waiting to be cut, the sealing and cutting mechanism 40 seals the consumable 27 corresponding to the sealing and cutting mechanism 40, for example, the cylinder wall of the cylindrical consumable 27 is sealed in the horizontal direction by heat sealing, plastic sealing, glue sealing and the like, so that the connected accommodating space 271 forms two unconnected subspaces after sealing, wherein one subspace is located above the sealing part and belongs to the part to be packaged, and the sealing part is the closed end of the part to be packaged; the other subspace is positioned below the sealing part and belongs to the packaging part, the upper part of the subspace of the packaging part is sealed by the sealing part, and the lower part of the subspace of the packaging part is sealed by the initial sealing end of the packaging part, so that the packaging part is a sealed accommodating space. The sealing and cutting mechanism 40 is used for cutting the sealing part to separate the packaging part and the part to be packaged, and the lower part of the separated part to be packaged and the upper part of the packaging part are sealed.

In yet another embodiment, the sealing and cutting mechanism 40 simultaneously seals and cuts the consumable 27 to obtain a portion to be packaged having a new closed end formed below, and a portion to be packaged having the item to be packaged 50 completely sealed inside. Referring to fig. 1-2 and 19, in some embodiments, the consumable material box 21 is disposed on a lifting path of the lifting clamping mechanism 30. In one embodiment, the shape and size of the through-hole 215 matches the shape and size of the clip element 32 such that the clip element 32 is able to pass through the through-hole 215.

Referring to fig. 4, 5 and 8, in some embodiments, when the lifting assembly 31 drives the clamping assembly 32 to pass through the through hole 215 of the consumable box 21 and reach a position exposed from the through hole 215, for example, a position where the first surface 211 of the consumable box 21 of the clamping assembly 32 is flush with the carrying surface of the clamping assembly 32, or a position where the carrying surface of the clamping assembly 32 is slightly higher than the first surface 211 of the consumable box 21, the lifting assembly 31 is controlled to stop lifting. Meanwhile, under the condition that the article 50 to be packaged is placed on the tray panel 332, the first clamping arm 321 and the second clamping arm 322 clamp the article 50 from two sides, the lifting assembly 31 descends to drive the article 50 to be packaged to descend, the consumable 27 is pressed on the bearing surface of the clamping assembly 32 under the action of the gravity of the article 50 to be packaged, and moves downwards together with the clamping assembly 32. Optionally, the clamping assembly 32 includes a tray panel 332, with a bearing surface formed on the tray panel 332.

When the clamping assembly 32 descends by a height of the article 50 to be packaged, the lifting assembly 31 stops driving the clamping assembly 32 to descend. At this time, a second article 50 to be packaged can be placed on the first article 50 to be packaged, the lifting assembly 31 can be started to descend again, and under the condition that the clamping assembly 32 descends by the height of the article 50 to be packaged again, the lifting assembly 31 stops driving the clamping assembly 32 to descend again, so that a third article 50 to be packaged can be placed on the second article 50 to be packaged again.
