[0063] After the pipes are manufactured and shaped, they need to be packaged for warehousing or transportation. Generally, multiple thin tubes are bundled together and packaged in a thin film sleeve, or a single thick tube is packaged independently in a thin film sleeve. In related technologies, packaging during pipe production relies on manual labor, where multiple thin tubes are first bundled together by hand and arms, then manually inserted into a thin film bag, and finally manually sealed. This operation is complex, difficult, inefficient, labor-intensive, and has high labor costs. Another method is automatic film wrapping, but this involves high equipment costs, a large labor input, and a large amount of film consumption. Furthermore, both methods involve cumbersome procedures requiring specific personnel, making fully automated production impossible, and labor costs remain high.

[0064] Based on the above concepts and problems, the present invention proposes a compression packaging device 100. It is understood that the compression packaging device 100 is used to compress and package pipes 6, effectively standardizing and reducing the volume of the packaged pipes 6 after compression. Simultaneously, it achieves automatic packaging and sealing operations for the pipes 6, effectively reducing manual labor intensity and labor costs, simplifying packaging operation steps, and improving production efficiency.

[0065] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the compression packaging equipment 100 includes a body 1, a compression mechanism 2, a packaging mechanism, and a conveying mechanism 5. The compression mechanism 2 includes a material handling seat 21 and a compression component 22 disposed on the body 1. The material handling seat 21 is provided with a placement groove 211 for placing the pipe 6. The compression component 22 is disposed adjacent to the placement groove 211 and is used to compress the pipe 6 in the placement groove 211. The packaging mechanism is disposed on the body 1 and spaced apart from the compression mechanism 2. The packaging mechanism includes an unwinding component 3 and a sealing structure 4. The sealing structure 4 has a sealing groove 41 for holding the compressed pipe 6. The unwinding component 3 is located at one end of the sealing groove 41 and is used to unwind film 7 into the sealing groove 41. The sealing structure 4 is used to package the film 7 in the sealing groove 41 onto the pipe 6. The conveying mechanism 5 is disposed on the body 1 and is used to convey the compressed pipe 6 in the placement groove 211 to the sealing groove 41.

[0066] In this embodiment, the body 1 is used to support, fix, and install components such as the compression mechanism 2, packaging mechanism, and handling mechanism 5. The body 1 provides the mounting foundation for these components. It is understood that the body 1 can be a frame, mounting bracket, support frame, stand, mounting surface, or mounting plate, etc. Of course, to achieve the mutual cooperation of the compression mechanism 2, packaging mechanism, and handling mechanism 5, the body 1 can also be a stepped structure with a height difference, a gantry structure, or a side plate, etc., and is not limited here.

[0067] Understandably, the material handling seat 21 of the compression mechanism 2 can be integrally set on the machine body 1, or it can be set separately on the machine body 1. For example, the material handling seat 21 and the machine body 1 can be fixedly connected by welding or other methods to form an integral unit; or, the material handling seat 21 and the machine body 1 can be detachably installed on the machine body 1 by means of snap-fit ​​connection, plug-in fit, screw connection or pin connection, which can improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0068] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, by providing a placement groove 211 on the material handling base 21, the pipe 6 can be conveniently placed using the placement groove 211. It is understood that the placement groove 211 can be formed by the material handling base 21 and the machine body 1 in conjunction. For example, the material handling base 21 may consist of multiple side plates installed on the machine body 1, with the multiple side plates and the machine body 1 enclosing and forming the placement groove 211. Of course, the placement groove 211 can also be a recessed structure provided or formed by the material handling base 21 itself, etc., and is not limited here.

[0069] Understandably, the compression assembly 22 is installed on the body 1. By positioning the compression assembly 22 adjacent to the placement slot 211, it is convenient to use the compression assembly 22 to compress the pipes 6 in the placement slot 211, so that multiple pipes 6 can form a regular bundle shape, thereby reducing the volume of the multiple pipes 6 after packaging. In this embodiment, the compression assembly 22 can be a push plate structure or a push compression structure. The compression assembly 22 can at least partially extend into the placement slot 211 to push and compress the multiple pipes 6.

[0070] It should be noted that the tubing 6 can be metal tubing, plastic tubing, or heat shrink tubing. The compression assembly 22 is used to organize and compress the multiple dispersed tubing 6 to reduce the volume of the bundled tubing 6. For rigid metal and plastic tubing, no flattening or other operations that damage the shape of the tubing 6 are performed. However, for soft heat shrink tubing, it can be flattened to further reduce its compressed volume. Of course, for rigid metal and plastic tubing, which require recycling or processing, the compression assembly 22 can be used to flatten or otherwise damage the shape of the tubing 6; this is not limited here.

[0071] In this embodiment, the unwinding assembly 3 of the packaging mechanism is used to unwind the film material 7 of the packaging tube 6 as needed, thereby ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the packaging of the tube 6. It is understood that the unwinding assembly 3 can be installed on the machine body 1 by welding or other fixing methods. Of course, for ease of assembly and disassembly, the unwinding assembly 3 and the machine body 1 can also be connected in a detachable manner, such as by snap-fit ​​connection, screw connection, or pin connection, etc., which is not limited here.

[0072] Understandably, the sealing structure 4 can cooperate with the body 1 to form a sealing groove 41. Alternatively, the sealing structure 4 can have a sealing groove 41 itself, which is used to hold and bundle the compressed and regulated tubing 6. The unwinding assembly 3 feeds the film 7 into the sealing groove 41, allowing the sealing structure 4 to wrap the film 7 within the sealing groove 41 around the tubing 6, and perform sealing and cutting operations. Optionally, the unwinding assembly 3 is located at one end of the sealing groove 41.

[0073] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 5 is used to convey the compressed tube 6 in the placement groove 211 to the sealing groove 41. It is understood that the conveying mechanism 5 can be a transfer device or a robotic arm, etc., and is not limited here.

[0074] The compression packaging equipment 100 of the present invention provides a compression mechanism 2, a packaging mechanism, and a conveying mechanism 5 on the machine body 1. The compression mechanism 2 uses the material handling seat 21 and the compression component 22 to compress the tube 6 in the placement groove 211. The conveying mechanism 5 then transports the compressed tube 6 to the sealing groove 41 of the packaging mechanism. The unwinding component 3 and the sealing structure 4 work together to achieve automatic packaging and sealing of the compressed tube 6. This effectively simplifies the operation steps, reduces labor intensity and labor costs, compresses the tube 6, ensures that the packaged volume is small enough, and greatly improves production efficiency.

[0075] Understandably, during use, multiple tubes 6 are placed in the placement groove 211 of the material handling seat 21. The compression component 22 compresses and straightens the multiple tubes 6 in the placement groove 21 into a bundle. The conveying mechanism 5 transfers the bundled tubes 6 to the sealing groove 41. The unwinding component 3 unwinds the film material 7 into the sealing groove 41. The sealing structure 4 performs film material 7 packaging, sealing, opening and cutting operations on the bundled tubes 6 in the sealing groove 41, thereby realizing the packaging of the tubes 6.

[0076] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding seat 21 includes a base plate 212 and a limiting baffle 214. The base plate 212 is located on the machine body 1. The side of the base plate 212 facing away from the machine body 1 is provided with a support surface and a limiting baffle 213. The limiting baffle 213 protrudes from the edge of the support surface. The limiting baffle 214 is located at the edge of the support surface and is arranged opposite to the compression assembly 22. One end of the limiting baffle 214 is connected to the limiting baffle 213 so that the support surface, the limiting baffle 214 and the limiting baffle 213 enclose and form a placement groove 211.

[0077] Understandably, the base plate 212 can be integrally formed with the body 1, that is, the base plate 212 serves as the mounting surface of the body 1. Alternatively, the base plate 212 and the body 1 can be separate components, with the base plate 212 mounted to the body 1 via a connection or mounting structure. Optionally, the base plate 212 has a plate-like structure. The base plate 212 can be fixedly mounted to the bracket or mounting surface of the body 1. Of course, the base plate 212 can also be detachably mounted or placed on the bracket or mounting surface of the body 1; this is not limited here.

[0078] In this embodiment, by providing a limiting baffle 213 on the base plate 212, both the limiting baffle 213 and the limiting baffle 214 are located at the edge of the supporting surface of the base plate 212, thereby forming a placement groove 211 by the supporting surface, the limiting baffle 214, and the limiting baffle 213. It is understood that the limiting baffle 213 and the limiting baffle 214 can be an integral structure or a separate structure. The limiting baffle 213 and the limiting baffle 214 are used to prevent the pipe 6 in the placement groove 211 from falling or moving.

[0079] It should be noted that, for ease of placement of the pipe 6, the placement groove 211 can be a square recessed structure. The limiting baffle 214 and the limiting platform 213 are disposed at the edge of the supporting surface of the base plate 212. In this embodiment, the limiting baffle 214 is disposed opposite to the compression component 22, and the limiting platform 213 is disposed at the other two edges of the supporting surface. Of course, to save material, the limiting platform 213 can be disposed only at one edge of the supporting surface, that is, the limiting baffle 214 is disposed opposite to the compression component 22, and the limiting platform 213 is perpendicular to the limiting baffle 214 and located at one end of the limiting baffle 214; this is not limited here.

[0080] To facilitate the handling mechanism 5 in gripping or grasping the compressed bundled pipe 6 from the placement groove 211, the support surface is provided with clearance holes. This allows the handling mechanism 5 to avoid interference with its grippers and other structures when gripping or grasping the pipe 6 from the placement groove 211. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting baffle 214 is provided with a clearance groove on the side facing the placement groove 211. The shape, size and number of the clearance groove are adapted to the shape, size and number of the gripper and other structures of the conveying mechanism 5, so as to further facilitate the gripper and other structures of the conveying mechanism 5 to grasp or clamp the pipe 6 in the placement groove 211.

[0081] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a mounting plate 11 is provided on the side of the machine body 1 adjacent to the compression assembly 22. The mounting plate 11 has a guide hole. The compression assembly 22 includes a driving member 222, a pressing plate 221 and at least one guide post 223. The driving member 222 is located on the mounting plate 11. The pressing plate 221 is connected to the output end of the driving member 222 and slides against the support surface. One end of the guide post 223 is movably inserted into the guide hole and connected to the pressing plate 221. The driving member 222 drives the pressing plate 221 to move closer to or away from the limiting baffle 214 to compress the pipe 6 in the placement groove 211.

[0082] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the compression assembly 22, a mounting plate 11 is provided on the side of the machine body 1 adjacent to the compression assembly 22. The mounting plate 11 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 212 of the feeding seat 21. The driving component 222 can be fixedly or detachably mounted on the mounting plate 11. Optionally, the driving component 222 can be a driving cylinder or a driving mechanism capable of pushing, such as a combination structure of a driving motor and a lead screw. Any structure that can drive the extrusion plate 221 to move closer to or away from the limiting baffle 214 is acceptable and is not limited here.

[0083] Optionally, the extrusion plate 221 has a plate-like structure. In this embodiment, the extrusion plate 221 and the limiting baffle 214 are arranged opposite to and parallel to each other. To save material, the extrusion plate 221, the limiting baffle 214, and the limiting stop 213 cooperate to form a placement groove 211. It is understood that the placement groove 211 formed by the supporting surface, the limiting baffle 214, and the limiting stop 213 has an opening facing the extrusion plate 221. The extrusion plate 221 is connected to the output end of the driving member 222 and slides against the supporting surface. Of course, in other embodiments, the extrusion plate 221 can also be disposed in the placement groove 211, and a through hole or other structure for the driving member 222 to pass through can be provided on the side wall of the placement groove 211.

[0084] Understandable, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the extrusion plate 221 has a clearance groove on the side facing the placement groove 211. The shape, size and number of the clearance groove are adapted to the shape, size and number of the grippers and other structures of the conveying mechanism 5, so that the grippers and other structures of the conveying mechanism 5 can easily grab or clamp the pipe 6 in the placement groove 211.

[0085] To prevent unevenness or misalignment when the driving component 222 drives the extrusion plate 221 to compress the pipe 6, in this embodiment, a guide hole and a guide post 223 are provided on the mounting plate 11. One end of the guide post 223 moves through the guide hole and connects to the extrusion plate 221. Thus, when the driving component 222 drives the extrusion plate 221 closer to or away from the limiting baffle 214, the guide post 223 moves along the guide hole. The coordinated movement of the guide post 223 and the driving component 222 improves the balance of the movement of the extrusion plate 221.

[0086] Optionally, the guide post 223 includes two guide posts 223, and the mounting plate 11 is provided with a guide hole for each guide post 223. The two guide posts 223 are located on both sides of the driving member 222. It can be understood that by providing a guide sleeve 12 in the guide hole, the guide post 223 slides through the guide sleeve 12, so that the positioning function can be achieved by using the guide sleeve 12 to move the guide post 223.

[0087] In one embodiment, the machine body 1 has a through hole 13 at one end near the sealing groove 41. The unwinding assembly 3 includes a fixed seat 31, a brake 32, and an unwinding air shaft 33. The fixed seat 31 is located on the machine body 1 and on the side of the machine body 1 facing away from the sealing groove 41. The fixed seat 31 has a bracket 311 and a bearing seat 312 spaced apart. The brake 32 is mounted on the bracket 311. One end of the unwinding air shaft 33 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 312 through a bearing and connected to the brake 32. The end of the unwinding air shaft 33 away from the brake 32 has film material 7 wound up. One end of the film material 7 passes through the through hole 13 and is located in the sealing groove 41.

[0088] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, by setting the unwinding assembly 3 on the side of the machine body 1 facing away from the sealing groove 41, in order to facilitate the unwinding assembly 3 to unwind the film material 7 into the sealing groove 41, a through hole 13 is provided at one end of the machine body 1 adjacent to the sealing groove 41. This not only makes reasonable use of space to install and fix the unwinding assembly 3, but also facilitates the unwinding assembly 3 to unwind the film material 7 through the through hole 13 into the sealing groove 41.

[0089] Understandably, the fixed base 31 can be integrally formed onto the machine body 1. Of course, the fixed base 31 can also be installed on the machine body 1 using a fixed connection method or a detachable connection method. By using the bracket 311 of the fixed base 31 to install the fixed brake 32, and using the bearing seat 312 to install the unwinding air shaft 33, it is ensured that the brake 32 can drive the unwinding air shaft 33 to rotate relative to the fixed base 31, thereby realizing the unwinding of the film material 7.

[0090] Optionally, the film material 7 is wound onto the end of the unwinding air shaft 33 away from the brake 32. Of course, in order to further ensure the winding and positioning of the film material 7, a limiting ring groove for limiting and accommodating the film material 7 is provided at the end of the unwinding air shaft 33 away from the brake 32. The limiting ring groove is provided around the unwinding air shaft 33 in the circumferential direction, which is not limited here.

[0091] In this embodiment, the brake 32 not only provides power to the unwinding air shaft 33 to unwind the film material 7, but also provides tension for the unwinding of the film material 7, ensuring that the film material 7 does not slack during the unwinding process and has a certain tension. The brake 32 can be a magnetic powder brake, an electromagnetic brake, etc., and is not limited here.

[0092] Of course, to further improve automation and adapt to continuous production, the unwinding assembly 3 is also equipped with a tube length sensor, which is installed in the sealing groove 41. In this way, the unwinding assembly 3 can continuously supply film material 7 to the sealing structure 4, ensuring the continuity of production. The sensor can sense the length of tubes 6 of different lengths and control the sealing mechanism 45 of the sealing structure 4 to automatically seal.

[0093] In one embodiment, the sealing structure 4 includes a traction component 43, an upper traction component 44, and a sealing mechanism 45. The traction components 43 are disposed opposite to and spaced apart from each other on the body 1, forming a sealing groove 41. The upper traction component 44 is disposed on the body 1 and located at the end of the sealing groove 41 away from the through hole 13. The upper traction component 44 is located above the sealing groove 41. The sealing mechanism 45 is disposed on the body 1 and located at the end of the sealing groove 41 away from the through hole 13. The sealing mechanism 45 corresponds to the sealing groove 41 and is used to seal and cut the film material 7 covering the tube 6.

[0094] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the traction assembly 43 and the upper traction assembly 44 provide power for the movement of the film 7 along the sealing groove 41. Optionally, the traction assembly 43 includes two components. It is understood that the linear velocity of the two traction assemblies 43 and the upper traction assembly 44 is the same as the linear velocity of the unwinding air shaft 33 driven by the brake 32.

[0095] Understandably, the traction assembly 43 and the machine body 1 are used to form a sealing groove 41, thereby using the traction assembly 43 to introduce the film material 7 into the sealing groove 41 and provide power. The setting of the upper traction assembly 44 is conducive to further compressing the upper surface of the bundled tube 6 placed in the sealing groove 41, and then guiding and sealing the film material 7 on the upper surface of the tube 6.

[0096] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, each traction component 43 includes a drive motor 431, a driven wheel 433, a transmission belt 434, and multiple transmission wheel assemblies 435. The drive motor 431 is located on the machine body 1, and the output end of the drive motor 431 is provided with a drive wheel 432. The driven wheel 433 is rotatably located on the machine body 1 and is spaced apart from the drive motor 431. The transmission belt 434 is sleeved on the drive wheel 432 and the driven wheel 433, so that the side of the transmission belt 434 facing the other traction component 43 is opposite to the other traction component 43 and spaced apart, and cooperates to form a sealing groove 41. Multiple transmission wheel assemblies 435 are spaced apart on the machine body 1 and located between the drive wheel 432 and the driven wheel 433. All multiple transmission wheel assemblies 435 slide against the transmission belt 434.

[0097] In this embodiment, the two transmission belts 434 of the two traction components 43 are respectively sleeved on the driving wheel 432 and the driven wheel 433, so that the opposite sides of the two transmission belts 434 cooperate with the machine body 1 to form a sealing groove 41. It can be understood that the lines connecting the driving wheel 432 and the driven wheel 433 of the two traction components 43 are arranged in parallel. The driving wheel 432 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 431, thereby driving the transmission belt 434 to pull the driven wheel 433 to rotate, so that the film material 7 abutting the surface of the transmission belt 434 moves with the movement of the transmission belt 434.

[0098] By setting multiple transmission wheel assemblies 435 between the driving wheel 432 and the driven wheel 433, the multiple transmission wheel assemblies 435 are arranged at intervals along the line connecting the driving wheel 432 and the driven wheel 433, and slide against the transmission belt 434. In this way, the multiple transmission wheel assemblies 435 can be used to shape and limit the bundled tube 6, and the transmission belt 434 can be ensured to drive the membrane material 7 to move.

[0099] In one embodiment, each transmission wheel assembly 435 includes a corner wheel 4351 and two guide wheels 4352. The two guide wheels 4352 are spaced apart on the body 1, and the line connecting the two guide wheels 4352 is flush with the side of the transmission belt 434 facing another traction assembly 43. The corner wheel 4351 is located on the body 1 and between the two guide wheels 4352. The corner wheel 4351 is located on the side of the line connecting the two guide wheels 4352 that faces away from the transmission belt 434. The transmission belt 434 located between the two guide wheels 4352 is slidably sleeved on the corner wheel 4351.

[0100] Understandably, the corner wheel 4351 of the transmission wheel assembly 435, together with the two guide wheels 4352, forms a triangular structure. The corner wheel 4351 does not abut against the side of the transmission belt 434 facing the sealing groove 41; that is, the corner wheel 4351 is located on the side where the line connecting the two guide wheels 4352 faces away from the transmission belt 434. The sides of both guide wheels 4352 facing the sealing groove 41 abut against the transmission belt 434.

[0101] To facilitate guiding the membrane material 7 through the through-hole 13 into the sealing groove 41, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing assembly also includes a guide 46, which is disposed on the body 1 and located between the through hole 13 and the sealing groove 41. The guide 46 is provided with a guide groove 461 that communicates with the sealing groove 41, and the guide 46 is also provided with guide slopes 462 located on opposite sides of the guide groove 461.

[0102] Understandably, the two guide ramps 462 of the guide member 46 shape the membrane material 7 passing through the through hole 13 into the initially required rectangular pattern and guide it into the sealing groove 41, so that the membrane material 7 abuts against the drive belts 434 of the two traction components 43 respectively. In this embodiment, the through hole 13 can be selected as a strip hole, and the extension direction of the strip hole is perpendicular to the movement direction of the membrane material 7. The guide groove 461 of the guide member 46 communicates with the sealing groove 41, and the axial direction of the guide groove 461 is consistent with the axial direction of the sealing groove 41.

[0103] Optionally, the two guide ramps 462 of the guide member 46 cooperate to form a funnel-shaped opening structure that connects to the guide groove 461.

[0104] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing mechanism 45 includes an upper sealing machine 451 and an end sealing machine 452. The upper sealing machine 451 is located on the machine body 1 and on the side of the upper traction assembly 44 facing away from the sealing groove 41. The end sealing machine 452 is located on the machine body 1 and on the side of the upper sealing machine 451 facing away from the sealing groove 41.

[0105] Understandably, the membrane material 7, compressed and conveyed by the upper traction component 44 onto the bundled pipe 6, is sealed on its upper surface by the upper sealing machine 451. The upper sealing machine 451 can narrow the ends of the membrane material 7, and finally, the end sealing machine 452 seals and cuts the membrane material 7 wrapped around the pipe 6, thus completing the entire sealing process. In this embodiment, the upper sealing machine 451 and the end sealing machine 452 use an electrothermal melt cutter to achieve heat-melt sealing of the membrane material 7.

[0106] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper traction assembly 44 includes an adjustment module 442 and an upper traction pressure belt 441. The adjustment module 442 is located on the machine body 1 and adjacent to the sealing groove 41. The upper traction pressure belt 441 is located on the adjustment module 442 and above the end of the sealing groove 41 away from the through hole 13. The adjustment module 442 is used to adjust the position of the upper traction pressure belt 441.

[0107] Understandably, the positioning module 442 facilitates the adjustment of the position of the upper traction pressure belt 441, thereby ensuring the position of the upper traction pressure belt 441 relative to the sealing groove 41. In other words, the upper traction pressure belt 441, in conjunction with the two traction components 43, helps maintain the compressed tube 6 in a certain compressed shape. Alternatively, a seaming mechanism can be used, employing a hot-melt seaming pressure roller structure to seal the side of the membrane material 7.

[0108] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 5 includes a drive module 51, a crossbeam 52, and a clamping assembly 53. The drive module 51 is disposed on the body 1, the crossbeam 52 is connected to the output end of the drive module 51, and the clamping assembly 53 is disposed on the crossbeam 52. The clamping assembly 53 is provided with a clamping groove 531 for clamping or releasing the tube 6. The drive module 51 drives the crossbeam 52 to move the clamping assembly 53 back and forth between the placement groove 211 and the sealing groove 41, and the drive module 51 drives the crossbeam 52 to move the clamping assembly 53 closer to or away from the placement groove 211.

[0109] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive module 51 can achieve two-way driving. For example, the drive module 51 drives the crossbeam 52 to move the gripping assembly 53 back and forth between the placement slot 211 and the sealing slot 41, and the drive module 51 drives the crossbeam 52 to move the gripping assembly 53 closer to or away from the placement slot 211. It can be understood that the drive module 51 includes a transverse module and a lifting module. The transverse module is set on the machine body 1, and the lifting module is set on the transverse module. The crossbeam 52 and the gripping assembly 53 are connected to the lifting module. In this way, the transverse module drives the lifting module to move the crossbeam 52 and the gripping assembly 53 back and forth between the placement slot 211 and the sealing slot 41, and the lifting module drives the crossbeam 52 to move the gripping assembly 53 closer to or away from the placement slot 211 / sealing slot 41.

[0110] Understandably, the gripping component 53 can be a clamping structure, such as a gripper or a clamping cylinder, and is not limited here.

[0111] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the crossbeam 52 has at least one strip-shaped hole 521. The clamping assembly 53 includes a pressure cap 532, a pull cylinder 534, and a sliding cover 535. The pressure cap 532 is located on the crossbeam 52 and has a first gripper 533 that passes through the strip-shaped hole 521. The pull cylinder 534 is located on the crossbeam 52. The sliding cover 535 is connected to the output end of the pull cylinder 534 and is slidably connected to the crossbeam 52. The sliding cover 535 has a second gripper 536 that moves movably through the strip-shaped hole 521. The second gripper 536 and the first gripper 533 cooperate to form a clamping groove 531. The pull cylinder 534 drives the sliding cover 535 to move the second gripper 536 along the strip-shaped hole 521 to move closer to or away from the first gripper 533, clamping or releasing the pipe 6.

[0112] Understandably, the cylinder 534 can be a structure such as a cylinder. The cylinder 534 drives the sliding cover 535 to move the second gripper 536 along the strip hole 521 to move closer to or further away from the first gripper 533, clamping or releasing the pipe 6.

[0113] During production, multiple pipes 6 (e.g., 25 pipes 6) are manually placed into the placement slot 211 of the material handling seat 21, with the folded position facing downwards. The driving component 222 drives the extrusion plate 221 to move towards the limiting baffle 214, compressing the space occupied by the multiple pipes 6. After compression, the driving module 51 of the conveying mechanism 5 drives the crossbeam 52 to move the clamping assembly 53 closer to the placement slot 211, so that the first jaw 533 and the second jaw 536 of the clamping assembly 53 penetrate the clearance slots of the limiting baffle 214 and the extrusion plate 221. The pulling cylinder 534 drives the sliding cover 535 to move... The second gripper 536 moves closer to the first gripper 533 so that the second gripper 536 and the first gripper 533 cooperate to clamp multiple tubes 6. The drive module 51 drives the crossbeam 52 to move the clamping assembly 53 away from the placement slot 211 and moves the crossbeam 52 to above the sealing slot 41 and close to the sealing slot 41. Then, the multiple tubes 6 are released. Under the action of the upper sealing machine 451 and the upper traction pressure belt 441, the film material 7 is sealed. The upper sealing machine 451 can ensure that the packaging is tighter and the film material 7 has less resilience. When the tubes 6 and the film material 7 pass through the end sealing machine, the two ends will be sealed and cut in sequence.

[0114] Understandably, in the above process: the upper sealing machine 451 provides power for the unwinding of the film material 7, the brake 32 provides tension for the unwinding of the film material 7 to ensure that the film material 7 maintains a certain tension and does not loosen during the unwinding process, the guide 46 can form the film material 7 into the initially required rectangular pattern, and the speed of the transmission belt 434 of the traction component 43 is the same as the linear speed of the upper sealing machine 451.

[0115] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present invention using the description and drawings of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
