In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0057] The present invention proposes an embodiment of a document packaging device 1, which is mainly used for automating operations such as printing, packaging, and labeling of documents when many enterprises, schools, and government agencies currently send documents by mail, thereby freeing up manpower and improving efficiency.

[0058] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the document packaging device 1 includes a mounting frame 10, an envelope conveying mechanism 20, a pasting mechanism 30 and a return order inserting mechanism 40. The mounting frame 10 is formed with a feeding station 11, a filling station 12, a packaging station 13, a form pasting station 14 and a return order inserting station 15; the envelope conveying mechanism 20 includes a conveyor belt 21, and the envelope conveying mechanism 20 is arranged on the mounting frame 10 to drive the envelope to move between the feeding station 11, the filling station 12, the packaging station 13, the form pasting station 14 and the return order inserting station 15; the pasting mechanism 30 is arranged on the mounting frame 10 and is located at the form pasting station 14 to paste the express delivery form on the envelope; the return order inserting mechanism 40 is arranged on the mounting frame 10 and is located at the return order inserting station 15 to insert the return order into the envelope.

[0059] Specifically, the feeding station 11 is mainly used to place envelopes, the filling station 12 is mainly used to fill the documents to be sent into the envelopes, the packaging station 13 is mainly used to seal the filled envelopes, the label pasting station 14 is mainly used to paste the express bill on the outer surface of the envelope, and the return bill inserting station 15 is mainly used to insert the return bill with the secondary recipient information into the envelope. The envelope conveying mechanism 20 includes a conveyor belt 21 and a driving mechanism for driving the conveyor belt to move. The envelope is placed on the conveyor belt 21, and the conveyor belt 21 can drive the envelope to move between the feeding station 11, the filling station 12, the packaging station 13, the label pasting station 14 and the return bill inserting station 15 to complete the corresponding operation on the envelope.

[0060] The technical solution of the present invention is to set a pasting mechanism 30 and a return order mechanism 40 in the document packaging equipment 1. When the envelope flows through the feeding station 11, the filling station 12, and the packaging station 13 on the conveyor belt 21 and reaches the order pasting station 14, the pasting mechanism 30 pastes the express order to the surface of the envelope, and then the envelope is transferred to the return order insertion station 15, and the return order insertion mechanism 40 inserts the return order into the envelope. At this point, the entire process of the document packaging equipment 1 is completed. Traditionally, pasting express orders and inserting return orders are manually operated. The technical solution of the present invention realizes the automated operation of pasting express orders and inserting return orders. Based on this, the efficiency of pasting express orders and inserting return orders can be improved, thereby improving the efficiency of sorting and sending documents, while also reducing the error-prone problems caused by long-term manual operation.

[0061] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the pasting mechanism 30 includes a mounting frame 31, a first adsorption component 32 and a gluing component 33. A placement area 311, a gluing area 312 and a pasting area 313 are formed below the mounting frame 31. The first adsorption component 32 is used to drive the express bill to move between the placement area 311, the gluing area 312 and the pasting area 313. The gluing component 33 is arranged in the gluing area 312 to apply sticky material to the express bill.

[0062] Specifically, the express bill can be placed in the placement area 311, and then the first adsorption component 32 works to move the express bill to the gluing area 312 for gluing, and then the express bill is moved to the pasting area 313 by the first adsorption component 32, and the express bill coated with the sticky material is pasted on the envelope containing the document, and the whole operation process is completed. The mounting frame 31 is mainly used to install the first adsorption component 32, and the material of the mounting frame 31 is set to metal material. The gluing component 33 is set in the gluing area 312, and is mainly used to apply sticky material to the express bill, and the sticky material can be glue or other sticky materials.

[0063] See also Figure 4In one embodiment, the gluing component 33 includes a shell 331, a gluing plate 332 and a glue delivery pipe 333. The shell 331 is provided with a plurality of glue outlet holes 3311. The shell 331 is provided with a receiving cavity 3312 for placing the viscous material. The gluing plate 332 is disposed in the receiving cavity 3312 and is movable in the up and down directions. One end of the glue delivery pipe 333 is provided as a glue injection port 3331, and the other end of the glue delivery pipe 333 is connected to the receiving cavity 3312.

[0064] Specifically, the material of the shell 331 is set to a hard material. As for the type of the hard material, it can be a hard material such as ABS, HIPS, PP, PC, or a metal or alloy material, etc., and there is no specific limitation here. The cross-section of the shell 331 can be set in a square or circular shape, or in other shapes. Specifically in the present embodiment, the cross-section of the shell 331 is set in a square shape. A plurality of glue outlet holes 3311 are provided on the shell 331. The shape of the glue outlet holes 3311 can be set to a circular, square or other shape. In the present embodiment, the shape of the glue outlet holes 3311 is set to a circular shape. An upper glue plate 332 is provided in the accommodating cavity 3312, and a sticky material is placed in the accommodating cavity 3312. The sticky material wraps the upper glue plate 332, and the upper glue plate 332 can move up and down in the accommodating cavity 3312. When the express order is in the gluing area 312, the express order should be located above the glue outlet hole 3311 and close to the glue outlet hole 3311. The gluing plate 332 moves upward in the accommodating chamber 3312, and the viscous material in the accommodating chamber 3312 can be driven upward and squeezed outward from the glue outlet hole 3311, so that the viscous material can be pasted to the bottom surface of the express order. As for the number of glue outlet holes 3311, the glue outlet holes 3311 are set to be multiple, and multiple glue outlet holes 3311 can allow the viscous material to be pasted to the bottom surface of the express order in a larger area, thereby enhancing the viscosity of the express order. When the amount of viscous material in the accommodating chamber 3312 is insufficient, it needs to be replenished in time, so a glue delivery pipe 333 is provided, and the viscous material is poured from the glue injection port 3331 of the glue delivery pipe 333. The viscous material will flow along the inner wall of the glue delivery pipe 333 into the accommodating chamber 3312, so that the viscous material can be replenished in time.

[0065] Furthermore, a glue upper column 3321 is provided on one side of the glue upper plate 332 facing the glue outlet hole 3311 , and a diameter of the glue upper column 3321 is smaller than a diameter of the glue outlet hole 3311 .

[0066] Considering that the upper glue plate 332 is designed in a plate shape, when it moves upward and squeezes the viscous material out of the glue outlet hole 3311, since the structure with multiple glue outlet holes 3311 on the shell 331 is also designed in a plate shape, when the two plates are fitted together, it is difficult for the upper glue plate 332 to control the amount of glue output. Usually, excessive viscous material will be squeezed out. Excessive viscous material may cause the express order to be pasted on the envelope. The cooling and solidification time is longer, and the express order will also be wet. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of glue output of the upper glue plate 332 when it moves upward. Preferably, a glue column 3321 is provided on the side of the upper glue plate 332 facing the glue outlet hole 3311, and the adhesive material is applied to the express order by contacting the bottom surface of the express order with the glue column 3321. The upper glue column 3321 can play a good role in controlling the amount of glue output. The number of upper glue columns 3321 is set to be multiple, and multiple upper glue columns 3321 are installed on the upper glue plate 332, and the installation position of the upper glue column 3321 should correspond to the position of the glue outlet hole 3311. The diameter of the upper glue column 3321 is smaller than the diameter of the glue outlet hole 3311, so that when the upper glue plate 332 moves upward, the upper glue column 3321 can pass through the glue outlet hole 3311 and contact the bottom surface of the express delivery slip, and apply sticky material to the express delivery slip, thereby avoiding the problem of poor control of the glue output when the two plates are bonded together.

[0067] See also Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the first adsorption component 32 includes a first movable member 321 and a first adsorption member 322; the first movable member 321 includes a first driving mechanism 3211, a movable plate 3212 and a connecting member 3213, the movable plate 3212 is installed on the mounting frame 31, the connecting member 3213 is installed on the movable plate 3212, and the connecting member 3213 is connected to the first driving mechanism 3211; the first adsorption member 322 includes a second driving mechanism 3221, a second mounting plate 3222 and a suction cup 3223, the second driving mechanism 3221 is installed on the movable plate 3212 and connected to the second mounting plate 3222, and the suction cup 3223 is installed on the second mounting plate 3222.

[0068] Specifically, the first adsorption component 32 includes a first movable part 321 and a first adsorption part 322. The first movable part 321 is movably mounted on the mounting frame 31 to drive the first adsorption part 322 to move between the placement area 311, the gluing area 312 and the pasting area 313; the first adsorption part 322 is mainly used to adsorb the express delivery slip. Since the express delivery unit is located below the mounting frame 31, the adsorption part needs to be movably mounted on the first movable part 321 up and down to adsorb and place the express delivery slip.

[0069] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6, the first driving mechanism 3211 includes a first motor 3211a, a driving wheel 3211b, a driven wheel 3211c and a belt 3211d. The first motor 3211a is mounted on the mounting frame 31 and is located above the mounting frame 31. The motor shaft of the first motor 3211a is connected to the driving wheel 3211b, and the driving wheel 3211b is located below the mounting frame 31. The driven wheel 3211c is also mounted on the mounting frame 31 and is located below the mounting frame 31. The driving wheel 3211b and the driven wheel 3211c are connected together by a belt 3211d. When the first motor 3211a is working, the rotation of the motor shaft of the first motor 3211a will drive the driving wheel 3211b to rotate. Since the driving wheel 3211b and the driven wheel 3211c are connected by the belt 3211d, the driven wheel 3211c and the belt 3211d will also rotate together with the rotation of the driving wheel 3211b. The movable plate 3212 is installed on the mounting frame 31, and a connecting piece 3213 is also installed below the movable plate 3212. The connecting piece 3213 is engaged with the belt 3211d, so when the belt 3211d213d moves, it will move with the movable plate 3212.

[0070] See also Figure 5 The second driving mechanism 3221 includes a second motor 3221a and a second screw rod 3221b, and the second motor 3221a and the second screw rod 3221b are connected. When the second motor 3221a is working, the second motor 3221a will drive the second screw rod 3221b to move in the up and down directions, and the other end of the second screw rod 3221b is connected to the second mounting plate 3222, so the second mounting plate 3222 will also move with the movement of the second screw rod 3221b. At the same time, the movable plate 3212 will also move between the placement area 311, the gluing area 312 and the pasting area 313, so the movable plate 3212 will move between the placement area 311, the gluing area 312 and the pasting area 313 with the adsorption part. After the adsorption part adsorbs the express order, it can move between the placement area 311, the gluing area 312 and the pasting area 313.

[0071] See also Figures 7 to 9In one embodiment, the return order mechanism 40 includes a bracket 41, a moving component 42, a tray component 43, a suction cup component 44 and a return order component 45. The bracket 41 includes a fixed frame 411 and a first mounting plate 412, and an opening 413 is formed between the fixed frame 411 and the first mounting plate 412; the moving component 42 is located below the opening 413, and the moving component 42 is movably mounted on the fixed frame 411, and the moving component 42 includes a moving part 421321 and a rotating part 422, and the second moving part 421 is movably mounted on the bracket 41; the rotating part 422 has an initial state and a working state, and the rotating part 422 is rotatably mounted on the second moving part 421 to switch between the initial state and the working state; the tray component 43 is installed on the first mounting plate 412 for placing the return order; the suction cup component 44 is installed on the fixed frame 411 and is located below the first mounting plate 412 for opening the envelope; the return order plugging component 45 is installed on the fixed frame 411 and is located at the opening 413, and is used to plug the return order into the envelope through the opening 413.

[0072] Specifically, the return order inserting mechanism 40 includes a bracket 41, and the material of the bracket 41 is set to be a hard material. Specifically, the material of the bracket 41 can be set to be a metal or alloy material, etc., and there is no specific limitation here. An opening 413 is formed between the fixing frame 411 of the bracket 41 and the mounting plate, and a moving component 42 is provided below the opening 413. The moving component 42 can move the envelope to the bottom of the opening 413. The return order is placed on the tray component 43. When the moving component 42 moves the envelope to the bottom of the opening 413, the suction cup component 44 absorbs the envelope to open the envelope, and then the return order is inserted into the envelope through the return order inserting component 45.

[0073] Since the envelope is horizontally conveyed by the conveyor belt 21 to the return order inserting mechanism 40, and the return order inserting mechanism 40 inserts the return order into the envelope from top to bottom, the rotating member 422 has an initial state and a working state. When the rotating member 422 is in the initial state, the position of the rotating member 422 is roughly parallel to the conveyor belt 21. At this time, the envelope can be conveyed to the rotating member 422, and the rotating member 422 drives the envelope to rotate to the working state. At the same time, the second moving member 421 can drive the rotating member 422 to move in the up and down directions.

[0074] It is worth mentioning that a card slot for placing envelopes is provided on the rotating member 422. After the envelope is conveyed to the return station 15 through the conveyor belt 21, it will directly enter the card slot of the rotating member 422 as it moves. In order to ensure that the position of the envelope does not shift and the envelope does not fall out when the rotating member 422 rotates, a card slot for placing envelopes is provided on the rotating member 422 to fix the envelope.
