[0031] See also Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the return order inserting mechanism includes a bracket 100, a moving component 200, a tray component 300, a suction cup component 400 and a return order inserting component 500; the bracket 100 includes a fixed frame 110 and a mounting plate 120, and an opening 130 is formed between the fixed frame 110 and the mounting plate 120; the moving component 200 is located below the opening 130, and the moving component 200 is movably mounted on the fixed frame 110; the tray component 300 is mounted on the mounting plate 120 for placing the return order; the suction cup component 400 is mounted on the fixed frame 110 and is located below the mounting plate 120 for opening the envelope; the return order inserting component 500 is mounted on the fixed frame 110 and is located at the opening 130 for inserting the return order into the envelope through the opening 130.

[0032] Specifically, the return order inserting mechanism 10 includes a bracket 100, and the material of the bracket 100 is set to be a hard material. Specifically, the material of the bracket 100 can be set to be a metal or alloy material, etc., and there is no specific limitation here. An opening 130 is formed between the fixing frame 110 and the mounting plate 120 of the bracket 100, and a moving component 200 is provided below the opening 130. The moving component 200 can move the envelope to the bottom of the opening 130. The return order is placed on the tray assembly 300. When the moving component 200 moves the envelope to the bottom of the opening 130, the suction cup assembly 400 absorbs the envelope to open the envelope, and then the return order is inserted into the envelope through the return order inserting assembly 500.

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a return order inserting assembly 500, which is installed on the bracket 100, and cooperates with the moving assembly 200 to move the envelope to the bottom of the opening 130, and then the return order inserting assembly 500 inserts the envelope from top to bottom. The traditional return order inserting method is operated manually. The technical solution of the present invention realizes automatic return order inserting through the return order inserting mechanism 10, which reduces manual labor and further improves the work efficiency of return order inserting.

[0034] See also Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the moving component 200 includes a moving member 210 and a rotating member 220. The moving member 210 is installed on the bracket 100 so as to be movable up and down; the rotating member 220 has an initial state and a working state, and the rotating member 220 is rotatably installed on the moving member 210 to switch between the initial state and the working state.

[0035] Specifically, the envelope is usually horizontally conveyed to the return order inserting mechanism 10 by the conveyor belt of the device, and the return order inserting mechanism 10 inserts the return order into the envelope from top to bottom, so the rotating member 220 has an initial state and a working state. When the rotating member 220 is in the initial state, the position of the rotating member 220 is roughly parallel to the conveyor belt. At this time, the envelope can be conveyed to the rotating member 220, and the rotating member 220 drives the envelope to rotate 90 degrees to the working state. At the same time, the moving member 210 can drive the rotating member 220 to move in the up and down directions.

[0036] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7Further, the rotating member 220 includes a fixed seat 221, a fixed plate 222 and a first driving mechanism 223, the fixed seat 221 is connected to the movable member 210, the first driving mechanism 223 is installed on the fixed seat 221, and the fixed plate 222 is connected to the first driving mechanism 223; the first driving mechanism 223 includes a first motor 223a, a driving wheel 223b, a driven wheel 223c, a belt 223d and a rotating shaft 223e, the first motor 223a is installed on the fixed seat 221, the driving wheel 223b and the driven wheel 223c are connected by a belt 223d, the driven wheel 223c is connected to the rotating shaft 223e, and the rotating shaft 223e is connected to the fixed plate 222.

[0037] That is to say, the fixed seat 221 is connected with the moving member 210, and the fixed seat 221 can move in the up-down direction. The first driving mechanism 223 comprises a first motor 223a, a driving wheel 223b, a driven wheel 223c, a belt 223d and a rotating shaft 223e, wherein the rotating shaft 223e is connected with the fixed plate 222, and the rotating shaft 223e is fixedly mounted on the fixed seat 221, and the fixed plate 222 can be rotated by the rotating shaft 223e. When the first motor 223a works, the motor shaft of the first motor 223a rotates, and the driving wheel 223b can be driven to rotate, because the driving wheel 223b and the driven wheel 223c are connected by the belt 223d, so the driven wheel 223c and the belt 223d also can rotate with the rotation of the driving wheel 223b. The rotating shaft 223e is connected to the driven wheel 223c. When the driven wheel 223c rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 223e to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 223e drives the fixed plate 222 to rotate, so that the rotating member 220 is switched between the initial state and the working state.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that a card slot 222a for placing envelopes is provided on the fixed plate 222. Specifically, after the envelope enters the fixed plate 222 through the conveyor belt, in order to ensure that the position of the envelope does not shift and the envelope does not fall off the fixed plate 222 when the rotating member 220 rotates, a card slot 222a for placing envelopes is provided on the fixed plate 222 to fix the envelopes.

[0046] Specifically, a first space for placing documents is formed in the envelope body, a layer of plastic film is provided on the outer surface of the envelope, and a second space for placing a return order is formed between the plastic film and the envelope body. When the return order inserting component 500 inserts the return order into the second space, the plastic film is heated by the sealing component 700, so that the plastic film and the envelope body fit together, closing the second space and preventing the return order from falling out of the envelope.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the return order inserting mechanism 10 further includes a printing component 800, which is installed on the bracket 100 and is used to print the return order.
