The unpacking suction cups 212 on the unpacking plate 29 open and suck the short side of the carton 16. At the same time, the forming baffle 25 rotates inward 90 degrees to help open the cardboard.

[0056] S4: After the cardboard delivered to the forming and positioning area 22 is fully opened, the unpacking suction cup 212 is closed, and the formed box falls into the positioning area. The hinge stepper motor and the forming baffle 25 return to their original positions. After the carton is completely placed, the box conveying motor returns to its original position and waits for the next material collection.

[0057] S5: The front center positioning cylinder in the box positioning area starts to move inward to clamp the box, centering the box and waiting for the clamping claws of the box clamping claw mechanism 3 to pick up the material;

[0058] S6: The clamping jaws of the box body clamping mechanism 3 move to the top of the forming positioning area 22, and then descend to take the material. When it reaches the lowest point, the clamping jaws automatically retract inwards and at the same time, the box pressing jaws 34 automatically press the box body downwards and position it. The cylinder at the box pressing jaws 34 opens, and the clamping jaws grab the paper and open outwards at a certain angle to facilitate the sleeve of the box body. Figure 8 As shown;

[0059] S7: The conveyor belt 52 then transports the external unit to the bottom drag positioning area 51. Each clamping claw clamps the bottom drag according to fixed parameters for precise positioning. At the same time, due to the design of the clamping claws with a certain tilt angle, the bottom drag is effectively tightened inward, achieving a shrinking effect.

[0060] S8: The carton pressing claw 34 automatically changes speed and moves downward with the opened carton. It moves downward at high speed when it does not touch the external unit. It starts to move at low speed when it touches the foam on the top cover of the external unit. After the foam is completely inserted, it changes to high speed and moves until it completely covers the bottom drag.

[0061] S9: After the box is put on, the cylinder of the bottom drag positioning area 51 retracts, the conveyor belt 6 starts, and the product flows to the next station.

[0062] The automatic packaging box equipment for air-conditioning outdoor units provided by the present invention can realize automatic packaging box packaging for split outdoor units, is compatible with domestic and export models, solves the problem of foam bursting when the gap between the foam on the top cover of the air-conditioning outdoor unit and the packaging box is a negative tolerance, reduces manual labor intensity, and improves the quality and efficiency of air-conditioning outdoor unit packaging.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention using the above technical content, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes. Therefore, any changes, modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technology of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present technical solution.
