Preferably, the bending cylinder 331 is a multi-rod cylinder, thereby providing self-guiding functionality.

[0166] In the present disclosure, the bending push plate 332 of the bending assembly 330 may be formed in a Z-shape and contact the tongue piece through a side member with a rounded corner, thereby bending the tongue piece.

[0167] Figure 10 Schematic diagram of the structure of a pre-pressing assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0168] To prevent the tongue from bending, Figure 10 As shown, the tongue is bent at the connection between the tongue and the box body, and the packaging box processing system further includes a pre-pressing component 600, which is used to press the portion of the tongue close to the box body. In one embodiment, the pre-pressing component 600 can simultaneously press the packaging boxes at the second station, the third station, and the fourth station.

[0169] In a specific embodiment, the pre-stressing assembly 600 includes a pre-stressing cylinder 610 and a pre-stressing plate 620. The pre-stressing cylinder 610 can be fixed to a component such as the ground or a workbench. For example, the pre-stressing cylinder 610 can be fixed to the workbench via a cylinder fixing plate. The pre-stressing plate 620 is fixed to the pre-stressing cylinder 610 and is driven by the pre-stressing cylinder 610 to achieve lifting and lowering.

[0170] In the present disclosure, the pre-pressing plate 620 has a pressing plate portion relative to the second station, the third station and the fourth station. The width of the pressing plate portion is the same or approximately the same as the distance between the folding line of the tongue and the box body, and in actual use, the pressing plate portion contacts the tongue between the folding line and the box body, so that when the bending assembly 330 is actuated, only the end portion of the tongue can be bent.

[0171] Refer again Figure 8 and Figure 9 The folding assembly 340 of the present disclosure enables the side ears 15 of the packaging box to fold inward. In a specific embodiment, the folding assembly 340 includes a folding drive device 341, a first folding portion 342, and a second folding portion 343. The first folding portion 342 and the second folding portion 343 are both connected to the folding drive device 341 and driven by the folding drive device 341 to enable the first folding portion 342 and the second folding portion 343 to move closer to or farther from each other. When the first folding portion 342 and the second folding portion 343 approach each other, the two side ears of the packaging box are folded inward.

[0172] In one embodiment, the folding drive device 341 can be implemented by two oppositely arranged cylinders. The first folding portion 342 and the second folding portion 343 are both C-shaped, and the upper ends of the first folding portion 342 and the second folding portion 343 push the side ear inward to achieve the folding of the side ear.

[0173] Refer again Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the present disclosure, the lifting assembly 350 enables the tongue 14 of the packaging box to be inserted into the box body of the packaging box.

[0174] Figure 11 It is a structural schematic diagram of a jacking assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0175] like Figure 11As shown, in the present disclosure, the jacking assembly 350 includes a jacking cylinder 351, a push rod 352 and a connecting rod 353; in one embodiment, the jacking cylinder 351 is set on the ground or a workbench, for example, the jacking cylinder 351 is set on the workbench through a fixed bracket 354, and the output shaft of the jacking cylinder 351 is set horizontally, so that the jacking cylinder 351 outputs horizontal movement.

[0176] One end of the push rod 352 is hinged to the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 351 via a hinge shaft, wherein the hinge shaft is arranged horizontally and is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 351. Thus, the push rod 352 can rotate about the hinge shaft, so that the free end of the push rod 352 contacts the tongue, and the tongue can be inserted into the box body of the packaging box.

[0177] One end of the connecting rod 353 is hinged to the fixed bracket 354, and the other end of the connecting rod 353 is hinged to the middle part of the push rod 352, thereby enabling relative movement between the push rod 352 and the connecting rod 353, and enabling the push rod 352 to move around the connection between the push rod 352 and the connecting rod 353, so that the push rod 352 can more reasonably promote the movement of the tongue and push the part of the tongue from the fold line to the free end (the end away from the box body) into the box body.

[0178] Refer again Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the present disclosure, the guide assembly 360 is used to guide the tongue 14 during the process of inserting the tongue 14 of the packaging box into the box body of the packaging box.

[0179] The guide assembly 360 includes a guide cylinder 361 and a guide plate 362. The guide cylinder 361 may be a multi-rod cylinder, which enables it to function as a self-guided cylinder. The guide plate 362 is driven by the guide cylinder 361 to achieve horizontal movement, so that one end of the tongue can contact the lower surface of the guide plate 362 and is then pushed into the box by the push rod 352.

[0180] In the present disclosure, during actual use, one end of the guide plate 362 can be inserted into the box body and located near the top wall of the packaging box, so as to guide the tongue inserted into the box body throughout the entire process.

[0181] At this time, one end of the guide plate 362 is formed into a wedge-shaped portion to facilitate inserting the one end of the guide plate 362 into the box body.

[0182] In the present disclosure, when a certain motion process is completed, it will be reset to prevent affecting other motion processes.

[0183] For example, after the box opening cylinder 221 drives the box opening push plate 222 to move upward to open the box, it will drive the box opening push plate 222 to move downward to reset and prepare for the next box opening action.

[0184] Correspondingly, when the pre-stressing cylinder 610 drives the pre-stressing plate 620 to move downward to realize the pre-stressing of the tongue, the bending cylinder 331 is controlled to move; when the bending cylinder 331 drives the bending push plate 332 to move upward to realize the bending of the tongue, it will drive the bending push plate 332 to move downward and reset, and prepare for the next bending action of the tongue; then, the pre-stressing cylinder 610 drives the pre-stressing plate 620 to move upward and reset.

[0185] Moreover, the action of the box opening cylinder 221 can also be activated after the action of the pre-pressing cylinder 610 and reset before the pre-pressing cylinder 610.

[0186] When the pre-stressing cylinder 610 and the bending cylinder 331 are reset, the folding drive device 341 is activated, and the first folding portion 342 and the second folding portion 343 move inward to fold the side ears. When the side ears are folded back, the folding drive device 341 is reset, and the first folding portion 342 and the second folding portion 343 are both moved away from the box body.

[0187] Then, the guide cylinder 361 is controlled to move, and the guide plate 362 is inserted into the box body; the lifting cylinder 351 is controlled to move, and the tongue is inserted into the box body; then the lifting cylinder 351 moves in the reverse direction, so that the push rod 352 is reset; the guide cylinder 361 is controlled to move in the reverse direction, so that the guide plate 362 is away from the packaging box, thereby completing the entire processing process of the packaging box.

[0188] In the present disclosure, the transport module 500 is used to transport the packaging boxes backward in sequence along the direction from the first station to the fourth station.

[0189] That is to say, the transport module 500 moves the distance of one station in the horizontal direction each time, so that the sheet packaging box at the first station is transported to the second station; at the same time, the opened packaging box at the second station is transported to the third station, and the packaging box with one end closed at the third station is transported to the fourth station, so that the packaging box with both ends closed at the fourth station is output to the assembly line.

[0190] Figure 12 It is a structural schematic diagram of a transport module according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0191] like Figure 12As shown, the transport module 500 includes: a first-direction motion platform 510 and a second-direction motion platform 520 arranged on the first-direction motion platform 510; wherein, the first-direction motion platform 510 can be set on the ground or a workbench through a bracket, and the first-direction motion platform 510 can be formed into a ball screw structure driven by an electric cylinder or a motor, etc. These structures are relatively common structures in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0192] The first-direction motion platform 510 can drive the second-direction motion platform 520 to move along a first direction, wherein the first direction is a direction from the first workstation to the fourth workstation.

[0193] The second direction motion platform 520 can be a linear motion structure such as an electric cylinder or a ball screw structure driven by a motor, and the second direction motion platform 520 can drive the suction cup mounting plate 530 installed on the second direction motion platform 520 to move up and down.

[0194] The suction cup mounting plate 530 is provided with a plurality of suction cups 540, which are divided into multiple groups corresponding to the first through fourth stations. In one embodiment, each group of suction cups 540 may include four suction cups, each of which may be positioned at the four corners of the packaging box. Thus, these suction cups 540 can absorb all packaging boxes at the first through fourth stations and simultaneously transfer them to the next station.

[0195] Therefore, the present invention realizes the synchronous operation of different processes through equidistant transportation, which not only ensures production efficiency but also improves the stable working time at a specific workstation, providing the necessary conditions for rapid buckle tongue sealing. The traditional method is an on-line flow operation and can only be carried out through multiple workstations and incremental sealing to different degrees. There are many workstations, which greatly lengthens the equipment length.

[0196] In particular, during the operation of the tongue, the operation of the tongue and the operation of the side ears are completed in coordination, which is completely different from the operation of the tongue and the side ears of traditional equipment, and the technical effect of the present invention is significantly improved compared with the existing technology.

[0197] The disclosed packaging processing system can save four people per day (night and day shifts); with a cycle time of 6 seconds, it can produce 600 pieces per hour. It also occupies a small footprint of only 550mm x 650mm, compared to the approximately 1000mm x 2200mm footprint of a traditional cartoning, packing, and sealing machine.
