[0074] To make the purpose and technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0075] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an in-house automation device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the in-house automation device. Figure 1 As shown, the inner packaging automation device includes a first packaging unit 101, a second packaging unit 102, a third packaging unit 103, and a control unit 104. The first packaging unit 101, the second packaging unit 102, and the third packaging unit 103 are, for example, sequentially arranged near a conveyor belt. Film is loaded into a packaging box and transported by the conveyor belt. The first packaging unit 101, the second packaging unit 102, and the third packaging unit 103 sequentially perform packaging, thereby achieving inner packaging automation.

[0076] The film can be a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, etc., and can be used in any type of electronic device, such as a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a portable or mobile device, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a television, a TV set-top box or entertainment device, a wearable device (e.g., display glasses or goggles, a wristwatch, a headset, an armband, jewelry, etc.), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a media player, a gaming device, etc.

[0077] The control unit 104 includes an electronic device, such as a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a portable or mobile device, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc.

[0078] The control unit 104 includes an input device, such as a scanning board, a touch screen, a keyboard, a mouse, etc., or the above electronic device has an input function, so as to receive machine model batch number information, which can indicate the batch number of the film to be transported by the conveyor belt and the model of the electronic device to which the batch of films is suitable, etc.

[0079] The control unit 104 includes a storage device, such as a memory, internal memory, etc., or the above-mentioned electronic device has a storage function, so as to store the packaging box information and packaging bag information associated with the machine model batch number information in the form of a formula. The packaging box information and packaging bag information can indicate the packaging box and its label, packaging bag and its label, etc. that are suitable for a film with a certain machine model batch number.

[0080] The control unit 104 includes a communication device, such as a wired communication interface, a wireless transceiver, a cellular communication transceiver, or the like, or such electronic devices have communication capabilities, thereby transmitting the model and batch number information, as well as the packaging box and bag information associated with the model and batch number information, to the first and second packaging units. Preferably, the model and batch number information and the packaging box information associated with the model and batch number information are transmitted to the first packaging unit, and the model and batch number information and the bag information associated with the model and batch number information are transmitted to the second packaging unit. More preferably, the model and batch number information and the packaging box information associated with the model and batch number information are transmitted to the first packaging unit, and the bag information associated with the model and batch number information is transmitted to the second packaging unit. The model and batch number information is switched by the control unit 104 based on the film to be transported by the conveyor belt, thereby transmitting the switched model and batch number information, as well as the packaging box and bag information associated with the switched model and batch number information, to the first and second packaging units, without having to wait for the first to third packaging units to be fully cleared before switching the information in unison.

[0081] The present invention realizes inner packaging automation through the first to third packaging parts and the control part, reducing manpower and working hours. Secondly, the first to third packaging parts are used to perform packaging and labeling in sequence, thereby improving production efficiency. In addition, manual inspection and verification of labels are no longer required, thereby reducing the risk of errors.

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, the first packaging unit 101 includes a rotating platform 1011, a tape winding device 1012, and a tape tail processing device 1013. The rotating platform 1011 places and rotates the packaging box. The tape winding device 1012 releases tape to wrap the packaging box on the rotating platform 1011 with tape. The tape can be polyethylene (PE) tape. The tape tail processing device 1013 folds the tape tail on the packaging box or attaches a non-adhesive insert. The tape winding device 1012 determines whether tape winding is required, the winding position, and the number of winding turns based on the machine model and batch number information. For example, for an integrated box, it is determined that tape winding is not required, while for a split box, it is determined that tape winding is required and is wound in the middle of the side of the box body and is wound 1.25 turns. The tape tail processing device 1013 determines whether tape winding is required or a non-adhesive insert is attached based on the machine model and batch number information.

[0083] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the rotating platform and tape winding device in the first packaging part of the inner packaging automation device. Figure 2 As shown, the rotating platform 1011 and the tape winding device 1012 are, for example, disposed on the device platform. The rotating platform 1011 and / or the tape winding device 1012 are liftable, and the lifting rotating platform 1011 and / or the tape winding device 1012 determine the size of the packaging box according to the packaging box information, and adjust to a specified height according to the winding position, thereby performing tape winding on the packaging box 200.

[0084] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the tape tail processing device in the first packaging unit of the inner packaging automation device. Figure 3 As shown, the tape winding device reserves a certain length (e.g., 8-15 mm) of tape after the tape is wound into place, and the tape tail processing device folds the reserved tape. Alternatively, the tape tail processing device adds a certain length of non-adhesive insert to the tape after it is wound into place, thereby achieving the same effect as folding the tape into place.

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, the first packaging unit 101 includes a first label detection device 1014. Before the packaging box is put into the conveyor belt, a temporary label is attached to the packaging box, and it will be covered by the packaging box label described below. The first label detection device 1014 detects the temporary label attached to the packaging box. The temporary label has machine model and batch number information. The first label detection device 1014 scans the temporary label to obtain the machine model and batch number information in the temporary label and determines whether it is consistent with the received machine model and batch number information. If the two are consistent, it indicates that the machine model and batch number information received and / or switched at the control unit 104 is correct. If the two are inconsistent, the inner packaging automation device stops and alarms. In addition, the temporary label has direction information. The first label detection device 1014 scans the temporary label to obtain the direction information in the temporary label and determine the placement direction of the packaging box. If the placement direction of the packaging box is incorrect, the inner packaging automation device stops and alarms.

[0086] like Figure 1 As shown, the first packaging unit 101 includes a first label printing device 1015 and a first label attaching device 1016. The first label printing device 1015 includes one or more printers to print a packaging box label. The first label attaching device 1016 attaches the packaging box label to the packaging box. The one or more printers in the first label printing device 1015 determine the label type and label template of the packaging box label based on the packaging box information, for example, determining that the packaging box label is a large white label. The first label attaching device 1016 determines the attachment position of the packaging box label based on the packaging box information, for example, determining that the label is attached to the center of the top surface of the box body.

[0087] As shown in Figure 1 , the second packaging part 102 comprises a picking device 1021, a second label printing device 1022 and a second label attaching device 1023. The picking device 1021 picks the packaging bag. The second label printing device 1022 comprises one or more printers to print the packaging bag label. The second label attaching device 1023 attaches the packaging bag label on the packaging bag. Wherein, the picking device 1021 determines the packaging bag type according to the packaging bag information, for example, determines the packaging bag size, which can be an aluminum foil bag, etc. The one or more printers in the second label printing device 1022 determines the label type and label template of the packaging bag label according to the packaging bag information, for example, determines that the packaging bag label is a white large label. The second label attaching device 1023 determines the attaching position of the packaging bag label according to the packaging bag information, for example, determines to attach in the central position of the top surface of the bag body.

[0088] Figures 4a-4e is a schematic view of the picking device in the second packaging part of the inner package automation device. As shown in Figure 4a , the picking device 1021 comprises one or more magazines 10211 and a suction head 10212. Each magazine 10211 respectively places different types of packaging bags 300 to be picked. The suction head 10212 sucks the packaging bag 300 from a certain magazine 10211 according to the packaging bag type.

[0089] In the picking process of the packaging bag 300, there may be an abnormality of overlapping and taking too many packaging bags 300, therefore, as shown in Figure 4b , the suction head 10212 reciprocally moves after sucking the packaging bag 300 to remove the redundant packaging bag 300. Additionally or alternatively, as shown in Figure 4c , a blowing device 10213 is arranged on both sides of the magazine 10211 to separate the redundant packaging bag 300 when the suction head 10212 sucks the packaging bag 300. Additionally or alternatively, as shown in Figure 4d , a brush device 10214 is arranged on both sides of the magazine 10211 to separate the redundant packaging bag 300 when the suction head 10212 sucks the packaging bag 300. Additionally or alternatively, as shown in Figure 4e , a thickness detection device 10215 is arranged on both sides of the magazine 10211 to detect the thickness of the sucked packaging bag 300 when the suction head 10212 sucks the packaging bag 300, and determine whether there is a redundant packaging bag 300.

[0090] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the second packaging unit 102 includes a first positioning device 1024, a second positioning device 1025, a first placement device 1026, and a first packaging device 1027. The first positioning device 1024 secures the packaging box. The second positioning device 1025 secures the packaging bag. The first placement device 1026 places the packaging box into the packaging bag. The first packaging device 1027 vacuums the packaging bag, heat-seals the packaging bag, and folds or trims the packaging bag.

[0091] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the first positioning device in the second packaging part of the inner packaging automation device. During the placement of the packaging box 200, it is necessary to fix the forward position of the packaging box 200 on the conveyor belt. For this purpose, Figure 5 As shown, the first positioning device 1024 includes a first guide roller 10241 . The first guide roller 10241 can adjust the opening size and position to guide the packaging box 200 to a specified position, thereby accurately placing the packaging box 200 into the packaging bag 300 .

[0092] Figures 6a-6b Schematic diagram of the second positioning device in the second packaging part of the inner packaging automation device. Similarly, during the placement process of the packaging box 200 and the attachment process of the packaging bag label, it is necessary to fix the forward position of the packaging bag 300 on the conveyor belt. For this purpose, Figure 6a As shown, the second positioning device 1025 includes a second guide roller 10251. The second guide roller 10251 can adjust the opening size and position to guide the packaging bag 300 to a specified position, thereby accurately placing the packaging box 200 into the packaging bag 300 and accurately attaching the packaging bag label to the packaging bag 300, thereby avoiding abnormal positioning of the packaging bag label after the packaging bag 300 is vacuumed. Additionally or alternatively, as Figure 6b As shown, the second positioning device 1025 includes a position detection device 10252, which is, for example, arranged at the second label attaching device to determine the position of the packaging bag 300 when attaching the packaging bag label to the packaging bag 300, thereby accurately attaching the packaging bag label to the packaging bag 300 and avoiding abnormal position of the packaging bag label after the packaging bag 300 is vacuumed.

[0093] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the first placement device in the second packaging unit of the inner packaging automation device. Figure 7 As shown, the first placement device 1026 can contact three sides of the packaging box 200 and can adjust the opening size to accommodate different packaging boxes 200, thereby ensuring that the packaging box 200 does not slide left or right and accurately places the packaging box 200 into the packaging bag 300. The first placement device 1026 determines the number of packaging boxes 200 to be placed in the packaging bag 300 based on the packaging bag information.

[0094] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the first packaging device in the second packaging part of the inner packaging automation device. Figure 8 As shown, the first packaging device 1027 performs a primary heat seal on the packaging bag 300 while inserting the vacuum tube 10271 into the packaging bag 300 to evacuate the bag. After the vacuum tube 300 is withdrawn from the primary heat seal position, the packaging bag 300 performs a secondary heat seal, thereby ensuring a heat-sealed packaging bag 300 with no noticeable air leakage. Finally, the first packaging device 1027 folds or trims the excess portion of the secondary heat-sealed packaging bag 300 and secures it with tape or the like.

[0095] like Figure 1 As shown, the second packaging unit 102 includes a second label detection device 1028. This device detects the box label and the bag label before the first placement device 1026 places the box into the bag. The second label detection device 1028 scans the box label and the bag label to determine whether the information contained on the box label and the bag label is consistent. If the two are consistent, the first placement device 1026 places the box into the bag. If they are inconsistent, the inner packaging automation device shuts down and issues an alarm.

[0096] like Figure 1 As shown, the third packaging unit 103 includes a third label detection device 1031, a forming device 1032, a second placement device 1033 and a second packaging device 1034. The third label detection device 1031 detects the packaging bag label attached to the packaging bag. The forming device 1032 picks up the packaging box cardboard, stretches the packaging box cardboard to form a packaging box, and seals the bottom of the packaging box (for example, an I-shaped seal). The second placement device 1033 places the packaging bag and packaging auxiliary materials into the packaging box. The second packaging device 1034 seals the top of the packaging box (for example, an I-shaped seal). Among them, the third label detection device 1031 scans the packaging bag label to determine the packaging box information, and the packaging box information is associated with the packaging bag label, thereby ensuring that the packaging box label to be described below is associated with the packaging bag label. The forming device 1032 determines the packaging box type based on the packaging box information determined by the third label detection device 1031, for example, determines the packaging bag size. The packaging box can be a cardboard box, etc. The second placing device 1033 determines the number of packaging bags placed in the packaging box according to the packaging box information determined by the third label detecting device 1031 .

[0097] like Figure 1As shown, the third packaging unit 103 includes a third label printing device 1035 and a third label attaching device 1036. The third label printing device 1035 includes one or more printers for printing a packaging box label. The third label attaching device 1036 attaches the packaging box label to the packaging box. The one or more printers in the third label printing device 1035 determine the label type and label template of the packaging box label based on the packaging box information determined by the third label detection device 1031, for example, determining that the packaging box label is a large white label. The third label attaching device 1036 determines the attachment position of the packaging box label based on the packaging box information determined by the third label detection device 1031, for example, determining that the packaging box label is attached at the center of the front of the box.

[0098] like Figure 1 As shown, the third packaging unit 103 includes a buffer device 1037 and a presence detection device 1038. The buffer device 1037 picks up and places a package bag after the third label detection device 1031 detects the package bag label attached to the package bag. The presence detection device 1038 detects whether there is a package bag in the buffer device 1037 and, if there is no package bag in the buffer device 1037, notifies the buffer device 1037 to pick up and place the package bag.

[0099] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the buffer device and presence detection device in the third packaging unit of the inner packaging automation device. During the process of the third label detection device scanning the packaging bag label to determine the packaging box information, one or more packaging bags containing packaging boxes may be conveyed on the conveyor belt. In order to improve the utilization rate of the inner packaging automation device, the inner packaging automation device is always in operation. Figure 9 As shown, the buffer device 1037 is, for example, disposed near a conveyor belt to pick up and place one or more scanned packaging bags 300. Presence detection devices 1038 are, for example, disposed on both sides of the buffer device 1037 to detect the packaging bags 300 in the buffer device 1037. If no packaging bags 300 are present in the buffer device 1037, the buffer device 1037 is notified to pick up and place one or more scanned packaging bags 300.
