A through groove is formed on the support platform along the conveying direction of the aircraft box. The conveyor belt mechanism is disposed within the through groove and extends through both ends of the support platform along the through groove's extension direction. The conveying surface of the conveyor belt mechanism is not higher than the top surface of the support platform and has gaps on both sides of the through groove. The lid front folding mechanism and the box bottom pushing mechanism are disposed opposite each other on the support platform on both sides of the through groove, located in the middle to rear section of the conveying surface.

The lid side folding mechanism is located between the lid front folding mechanism and the box bottom pushing mechanism, with its centerline coinciding with the line connecting their centers.
[0006] The conveyor belt mechanism includes a drive motor, a conveyor belt, and aircraft box clamps. The drive motor is electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0021] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, a more detailed description of this utility model is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a reverse-packing airplane box packaging device, which includes a support platform 1, a control mechanism, and a conveyor belt mechanism 7, a lid front edge folding mechanism 4, a lid side edge folding mechanism 3, and a box bottom pushing mechanism 2, which are respectively disposed on the support platform 1 and electrically connected to the control mechanism. Specifically, a through groove 14 is provided on the support platform 1 along the conveying direction 6 of the airplane box 5. The conveyor belt mechanism 7 is set in the through groove 14 and is used to transport the airplane box 5 from the previous process to the packaging process. It extends through both ends of the support platform 1 along the extension direction of the through groove 14. The conveying surface of the conveyor belt mechanism 7 is not higher than the top surface of the support platform 1 and has gaps on both sides of the through groove 14. The front folding mechanism 4 of the box cover and the bottom pushing mechanism 2 are respectively set on the support platform 1 on both sides of the through groove 14 and are located in the middle and rear section of the conveying surface. They are used to push and fold the front edge 53 of the airplane box and the bottom box 54 of the airplane box 5. The side folding mechanism 3 of the box cover is set in the gap between the conveyor belt mechanism 7 and the through groove 14. It has the freedom to retract to be lower than the conveying surface of the conveyor belt mechanism 7 and extend to be higher than the conveying surface of the conveyor belt mechanism 7. It is used to fold the right side edge 51 and the left side edge 52 of the airplane box. In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the folding angles of the left side edge 52 and the right side edge 51 of the airplane box are consistent, the side edge folding mechanism 3 of the box cover is set between the front edge folding mechanism 4 of the box cover and the bottom pushing mechanism 2 of the box, and the center line coincides with the line connecting the centers of the two.
[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor belt mechanism 7 in this embodiment includes a drive motor, a conveyor belt 71, and a box clamp 72. The drive motor is electrically connected to the control mechanism. For ease of control, the drive motor can be selected as a stepper motor or a servo motor. The operator can choose according to the actual situation. No specific limitation is made in this embodiment. The power input end of the conveyor belt 71 is connected to the power output end of the drive motor. There are multiple sets of box clamps 72, which are used to limit the folded but not yet packaged box 5, especially to limit the left edge 52 and the right edge 51 of the box. Multiple sets of box clamps 72 are evenly arranged on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 71. The width between each set of box clamps 72 is 2-15cm greater than the width of the box 5. In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the box cover side edge folding mechanism 3 can smoothly clamp the side edge of the box 5, the width between each set of box clamps 72 is controlled to be 10cm.
[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the lid folding mechanism 4 includes a bracket A41, a top cover cylinder 42, and a head plate 43. The top cover cylinder 42 is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The top cover cylinder 42 is mounted on the top surface of the support platform 1 via the bracket A41, with its extension direction pointing towards the conveyor belt mechanism 7 and perpendicular to the conveying direction 6 of the conveyor belt mechanism 7. The head plate 43 is L-shaped, with its vertical side fixed to the top cover cylinder 42 and its horizontal side pointing towards the conveying surface of the conveyor belt mechanism 7. The horizontal side of the head plate 43 has the freedom to extend above the conveying surface of the conveyor belt mechanism 7 and retract to the support platform 1 on one side of the top cover cylinder 42 under the action of the top cover cylinder 42. To ensure that the head plate 43 can smoothly reach the front edge 53 of the aircraft box, the height of the horizontal side of the head plate 43 is set higher than the plane of the top plate of the bracket but lower than the height of the front edge 53 of the aircraft box.
[0025] When the aircraft box 5 is transported from the pre-packaging station 11 to the packaging station 12, the drive motor stops, and the conveyor belt 71 stops conveying. At this time, the leading edge of the aircraft box 5 is in a vertical position. The control mechanism controls the top cover cylinder 42 to extend, driving the head plate 43 to move upwards on the conveyor belt 71. After the horizontal edge of the head plate 43 contacts the leading edge 53 of the aircraft box, it continues to be pushed upwards on the conveyor belt 71. The leading edge 53 of the aircraft box is folded to an acute angle with the top cover, i.e., as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The leading edge is folded in state 61 as shown in the figure.
[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the box lid side folding mechanism 3 includes an upper lifting cylinder 31, a lid closing cylinder 32, a left gripper 34, and a right gripper 33. The upper lifting cylinder 31 and the lid closing cylinder 32 are electrically connected to the control mechanism. The upper lifting cylinder 31 is vertically fixed on the support platform 1 below the conveyor belt mechanism 7, and its telescopic end is fixed to the fixed end of the lid closing cylinder 32. The left gripper 34 and the right gripper 33 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged at the telescopic end of the lid closing cylinder 32 to form a cylinder gripper mechanism. The upper clamping space of the left gripper 34 and the right gripper 33 has a degree of freedom to shrink from a width greater than the width between the side edges of the box 5 to a width less than the width between the side edges of the box 5 under the action of the lid closing cylinder 32. After the front edge 53 of the aircraft box is pushed into place by the head plate 43, the upper cylinder 31 extends, driving the lid-closing cylinder 32 and the left and right grippers 34 and 33 to rise until their gripping space extends beyond the plane of the conveyor belt 71. After the upper cylinder 31 extends into place, the lid-closing cylinder 32 retracts, driving the left and right grippers 34 and 33 to retract until they contact the left edge 52 and right edge 51 of the aircraft box, respectively. They continue to retract until the left edge 52 and right edge 51 of the aircraft box form acute angles with the top cover, which is as follows. Figure 4 The side edge is folded in state 62 as shown.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the box bottom pushing mechanism 2 includes a bracket B21, a lid-closing cylinder 22, and a bending plate 23. The lid-closing cylinder 22 is mounted on the top surface of the bracket platform 1 via the bracket B21, with its extension direction pointing towards the conveyor belt mechanism 7 and perpendicular to the conveying direction 6 of the conveyor belt mechanism 7. The bending plate 23 is integrally formed and includes a fixed panel, a bending panel, and a box-pushing panel connected in sequence. The fixed panel is vertically fixed to the extended end of the lid-closing cylinder 22, the bending panel is horizontally arranged, and the box-pushing panel is arranged opposite to the fixed panel via the bending panel. Under the drive of the lid-closing cylinder 22, the box-pushing panel has the freedom to extend above the conveying surface of the conveyor belt mechanism 7 and retract to the bracket platform 1 on one side of the lid-closing cylinder 22. Meanwhile, to facilitate the box-pushing panel pushing the bottom box 54, in this embodiment, the lower end of the box-pushing panel is connected to the bending panel at an obtuse angle, the upper end is vertical, and the position of the box-pushing panel is higher than the plane of the top plate of the bracket and lower than the plane of the top surface of the bottom box 54.
[0028] After the front edge 53, left edge 52, and right edge 51 of the aircraft box are pushed into place, the closing cylinder 22 extends, causing the bending plate 23 to move closer to the conveyor belt 71. When the pushing panel of the bending plate 23 contacts the bottom box 54, the closing cylinder 22 continues to extend, pushing the bottom box 54 towards the front edge 53, left edge 52, and right edge 51 of the aircraft box, thus achieving the desired effect. Figure 4 In the folded state 63 shown, when the short sides of the inwardly tilted aircraft box (left edge 52 and right edge 51) are inserted into the bottom box 54, the lid-closing cylinder 32 extends, and the left gripper 34 and right gripper 33 open outward. After opening, the upper-pushing cylinder 31 retracts downward, driving the lid-closing cylinder 22 to return to its downward position, preparing for the next aircraft box 5. The lid-closing cylinder 22 continues to extend, and when the top surface of the front edge 53 of the aircraft box is inserted into the bottom box 54, the top-covering cylinder 42 retracts, driving the head plate 43 to retract from the conveyor plane of the conveyor belt 71. As the lid-closing cylinder 22 continues to extend until it reaches its full extension, the packaging is completed, which is as shown below. Figure 4 Packaging is complete at stage 64. At this time, the lid-closing cylinder 22 retracts, causing the push-closing panel to retract from the area above the conveyor belt 71, waiting for the next aircraft box 5 to enter the packaging station 12.
[0029] In this embodiment, to facilitate the transport of the aircraft box 5 and prevent its bottom box 54 from affecting the overall stability of the aircraft box 5 on the aircraft box clamp 72 due to excessive gravity, the width of the through groove 14 on the support platform 1 is less than the sum of the widths of the aircraft box 5's lid and the side of the bottom box connected to the lid. Figure 1 As shown, during the transportation process, the side of the bottom box 54 of the aircraft box 5 contacts the support platform 1 and is supported by the support platform 1.
[0030] Furthermore, to further improve the automation level of the device and enable the conveyor belt 71 to automatically stop transporting after the aircraft box 5 enters the packaging station 12, a photoelectric sensor connected to the control mechanism is installed on the bracket A41 in this embodiment. The photoelectric sensor is set perpendicular to the conveying direction 6 of the conveying surface and adjacent to the rear end face of the head plate 43. When the aircraft box 5 is transported to the packaging station 12, the photoelectric sensor senses it and sends the sensing signal to the control mechanism. The control mechanism controls the drive motor to stop driving after the current pulse signal is completed and starts packaging. When the aircraft box 5 is packaged, the lid-closing cylinder 22 retracts into place, and the control mechanism controls the drive motor to start, driving the next aircraft box 5 on the conveyor belt 71 to enter the packaging station 12 for packaging. At the same time, it drives the packaged aircraft box 5 to enter the packaging station 13.
