[0035] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] A moving part of a device for automatically packing a surgical instrument package is composed of folding plates (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14), a support plate (15), a folding plate support platform (20, 25, 27, 31, 32, 34), a folding plate bracket (24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 35), a guide rod (22), a linear bearing (21), a cylinder (19, 23, 29), and a frame (16, 17, 18). A folding motion device (5) for automatically packing a surgical instrument package has a frame fixed on a box body and relatively immovable, a support plate is arranged in the middle, six folding plates are arranged around the support plate, the folding plates are arranged in this order according to the idea when the folding plates are designed, and the cylinders (19, 23, 29) and the guide rods (22) are arranged in a staggered manner so as not to affect each other. First, spread the packing cloth on top, then put the surgical instrument bag on it, and finally complete the packing by moving the folding board. The movements of the 6 folding boards are independent of each other, and each folding board cooperates with the movement to complete the packing.

[0037] In the model of the moving part of the folding plate 2 (10), the horizontal cylinder (19) and the vertical cylinder (23) are fixed on the support platform (28) of the folding plate 2, and the four linear bearings (21) placed vertically below are fixed on the frame (18) and remain relatively unchanged in position during the movement. The two bearings (21) placed horizontally above are fixed on the support platform (25), and their ends are installed on the folding plate. The folding plate 2 (10) is fixed on the support platform (25), and the four guide rods (22) installed vertically and the two guide rods (22) installed horizontally are all installed on the support platform (25). When the piston rod in the vertical cylinder (23) extends or retracts, it drives the support platform (25) to move up or down, and the guide rod (22) moves with the support platform (25) and moves smoothly under the action of the frame (18) and the linear bearing (21). Under the cooperation of the guide rod (22), the frame (18), and the linear bearing (21), the support platform (25) can complete the movement smoothly and accurately, and the folding plate fixed on the support platform (25) will then move up or down smoothly and accurately. The drive for left and right lateral movement is similar to that for up and down movement. When the piston rod in the horizontal cylinder (19) extends or retracts, it drives the support platform (25) to move horizontally and realizes stable and accurate movement under the cooperation of the guide rod (22) and the linear bearing (21), and finally the folding plate 2 realizes stable and accurate lateral movement.

[0038] The sizes of surgical instrument baskets are mostly 480×250×50, 540×250×50, 480×250×70, and 540×250×70 (mm). To ensure that the packaging requirements of these four sizes can be met, two magnetic switches are installed on each cylinder. By adjusting the position of the magnetic switches, the packaging requirements of surgical instrument baskets of different heights and widths can be met. At the same time, in order to meet the packaging requirements of surgical instrument baskets of different lengths, the support plate (15) is a retractable plate, and its length can be set to 540mm or 480mm. By adjusting the length of the support plate (15), the packaging requirements of surgical instrument baskets of different lengths can be met. Before starting the equipment, the position of the cylinder magnetic switch and the length of the support plate are adjusted according to the size of the surgical instrument basket to meet the packaging requirements of surgical instrument baskets of different specifications and shapes.

[0039] A box model of an automatic surgical instrument packaging device has a red knob (3) for selecting whether to perform inner cloth packaging or outer cloth packaging, a green button (1) for starting, a red button (2) for stopping, two fans for ventilation to ensure a stable supply of air, an openable door (4) for checking the device, four wheels (7) for facilitating the movement of the packaging machine, and an internal support frame for supporting the moving part and control part of the packaging machine so that the packaging process can proceed smoothly.

[0040] In the pneumatic system schematic, the compressed air from the air compressor is transmitted to the air control route and then passes through the filter. The filter can further filter the dust and impurity particles in the compressed air. After the air pressure is stabilized by the pressure reducing valve, it passes through the three-position five-way solenoid valve and finally enters the cylinder to control the movement of the piston rod. One solenoid valve controls one cylinder. There are 12 solenoid valves and 12 cylinders in total. The magnetic switch on the cylinder cooperates with the solenoid valve to control the regular movement of the cylinder.

[0041] The PLC controller requires a total of 26 input ports and 24 output ports. In the wiring diagram, X on the left is the input port, Y on the right is the output port, 0S represents the start button, 25S represents the stop button, 1S~24S represent the magnetic switches on the cylinder, and 1YA~24YA represent the electromagnets on the solenoid valve.

[0042] The above description has a wide range of applications. For example, although the embodiments disclosed in the present invention may focus on an apparatus, method, and system for automatically packaging surgical instrument kits, it should be understood that the concepts disclosed in the present invention are equally applicable to other fields. Similarly, although various embodiments may be discussed in conjunction with apparatus, methods, and systems for automatically packaging surgical instrument kits, any independent features of the apparatus, methods, and systems for automatically packaging surgical instrument kits may be used individually or integrated together. Therefore, the discussion of any embodiment is intended only as an example, and it is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure (including the claims) to these examples.
