Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of packaging technology, specifically to a packaging component forming mechanism and a packaging component bonding device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for packaging boxes is constantly increasing. Classified by material, packaging boxes include cardboard boxes, tin boxes, wooden boxes, leather boxes, PVC boxes, etc., with cardboard boxes being the most common. Cardboard packaging boxes generally consist of a box body and a lid, which are usually glued together by packaging components, commonly including a sealing strip. Currently, in the production process of cardboard packaging boxes, the process of bending the packaging components and gluing them to the box body is completed by workers in conjunction with semi-automatic gluing machines.

[0020] The second forming module is used to complete the second forming of the packaging component, causing the two sides of the "two-fold" packaging component to shrink inward or expand outward. Specifically, when shrinking inward, the lateral width of the "two-fold" packaging component decreases and becomes smaller than the lateral width of the box to be attached. In this case, it can be used as a packaging component inside the box and attached to the inner side of the box.

[0046] To better understand this invention, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 6 The packaging component forming mechanism and packaging component bonding device of the present application embodiments are described in detail.

[0047] An embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a packaging component forming mechanism. Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the packaging component forming mechanism provided by the present invention.

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, the packaging component forming mechanism 500 includes a first forming module 51, which includes a material-picking element 511 and a first forming element 512. The material-picking element 511 is used to pick up the packaging component 900 and provide power to drive the packaging component 900 to move along a path. The first forming element 512 is disposed on the path and generates an interaction force when it comes into contact with the moving packaging component 900, causing the packaging component 900 to deform into a first initial shape corresponding to the shape of the box body 800 to be attached.

[0049] The packaging component forming mechanism 500 provided in this embodiment of the invention further includes a second forming module 52, which is disposed close to the first forming element 512. The second forming module 52 includes a second forming element 521, which is used to deform the attachment component to a target attachment component of a second shape through the second forming element 521. The first direction dimension of the target attachment component is greater than or less than the first direction dimension of the box body 800 to be attached.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, the first forming module 51 is used for the first forming of the packaging component 900, specifically including a material-grabbing element 511 and a first forming element 512. The material-grabbing element 511 can extract the packaging component 900 by gripping, clamping, lifting, or sucking, for example, by using a robotic arm with a robotic arm to grip, clamp, or lift, or by using a linear stepper motor, electric push rod, linear motor, cylinder, etc. to provide power to the suction cup assembly for suction, etc. The specific method of extracting the packaging component 900 is not limited here.

[0051] In some alternative embodiments, the first molding element 512 is disposed on the movement path of the packaging assembly 900, such as... Figure 1 As shown, for example, if the packaging assembly 900 moves in the X direction, then the first forming element 512 is positioned along the movement path of the packaging assembly in the X direction. Of course, if the packaging assembly 900 moves in other directions, then the orientation of the first forming element 512 will change accordingly, and the specific orientation is not limited.

[0052] In some alternative embodiments, the first forming element 512 is disposed on the movement path of the packaging assembly 900 and comes into contact with the packaging assembly 900 during its movement, causing it to undergo its first forming. Specifically, the strip-shaped packaging assembly 900 is deformed into an attachment assembly having a first initial shape with a "fold" (e.g., a single fold, a double fold, a triple fold, etc.), thus completing the first forming of the packaging assembly 900.

[0053] Taking the "two-fold" shape as an example, the first initial shape of the "two-fold" attachment component includes two folds, which divide the packaging component 900 into three sides: two side edges and one middle edge. The connection between the side edges and the middle edge forms a right angle. That is, the two side edges are perpendicular to the middle edge, and the two side edges are parallel to each other. It should be noted that the lengths of the two side edges can be equal or unequal; the length of either side edge can be equal or unequal to the length of the middle edge. In other words, the "two-fold" shape composed of three sides only needs to satisfy the above-mentioned "perpendicular" and "parallel" relationships and correspond to the shape of the box body 800 to be attached; the specific dimensions are not limited.

[0054] It should be understood that the first initial shape corresponds to the shape of the box wall to be adhered to by the box body 800. In this application, the first initial shape is not specifically limited. For example, when there is one corner to be adhered to by the box wall, the first initial shape is a "single-fold shape"; for another example, when there are two corners to be adhered to by the box wall, the first initial shape is a "two-fold shape"; and for yet another example, when there are three corners to be adhered to by the box wall, the first initial shape is a "triple-fold shape".

[0055] In some alternative embodiments, the second forming element 521 can fix or extract the first initial shape of the attachment component and deform the first initial shape of the attachment component into a second shape of the target attachment component. Taking a "two-fold" first initial shape as an example, the second forming element 521 can bring the two sides closer together or further apart, so that the first directional dimension of the target attachment component is greater than or less than the first directional dimension of the box to be attached.

[0056] It should be noted that, taking the first initial shape of the "two-fold" as an example, the first direction of the target attachment component is the width direction, which is parallel to the middle edge of the attachment component of the first initial shape, and the first direction of the box to be attached is the corresponding width direction.

[0057] In other words, the function of the second molding element 521 is to provide a force to the two sides of the attached component, causing it to "retract" or "expand" and complete the second molding of the packaging component 900.

[0058] In some embodiments, taking a "two-fold" shape as an example, during the second molding, the distance between the two sides of the first initial shape of the "two-fold" attachment component increases or decreases, making the first direction dimension of the target attachment component larger or smaller than the first direction dimension of the box body 800 to be attached. Furthermore, the middle portion of the "two-fold" target attachment component can be concave or convex to reduce the initial contact area between the target attachment component and the box body to be attached, which is more conducive to avoiding or reducing the target attachment component scraping off the adhesive from the surface of the box body to be attached.

[0059] In some embodiments, after the first deformation and before the second deformation, the first initial shape of the attachment component corresponds to the shape of the box body to be attached; after the second deformation, the distance between the two sides is greater than or less than the first directional dimension of the box body to be attached. For example, when the distance between the two sides is greater than the first directional dimension of the box body to be attached, the second shape of the target attachment component is used to be attached to the outer wall of the box body 800. For example, when the distance between the two sides is less than the first directional dimension of the box body to be attached, the second shape of the target attachment component is used to be attached to the inner wall of the box body 800.

[0060] It should be noted that when the distance between the two sides of the first initial shape of the "two-fold" adhesive component decreases, the middle edge of the original "two-fold" first initial shape adhesive component will bulge outward. Because the middle edge bulges slightly, and the distance between the two sides is less than the first directional dimension of the box 800 to be attached, when this second-shaped target adhesive component is used to attach to the inner wall of the box 800, it is less likely to scrape off the adhesive originally applied to the inner wall, thus facilitating attachment.

[0061] When the distance between the two sides of the first initial shape of the "two-fold" attachment component increases, the middle edge does not need to move relative to it, and the distance between the two sides is greater than the first directional dimension of the box body 800 to be attached. When the second shape of the target attachment component is used to attach to the outer wall of the box body 800 to be attached, the space around the outer wall is large enough that the distance between the two sides is greater than the first directional dimension of the box body to be attached, so that the adhesive originally applied to the outer wall of the box body 800 to be attached will not be scraped off, making attachment convenient.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 In some optional embodiments, the material-grabbing element 511 of the packaging component forming mechanism includes a conveying element 5111 and an adsorption element 5112. The adsorption element 5112 is installed at the conveying end of the conveying element 5111, and the conveying element 5111 can drive the adsorption element 5112 to reciprocate along the X direction. The adsorption element 5112 can be a suction cup assembly, including suction cups mounted on an adsorption plate, and the number of suction cups can be one or more. When the suction cup assembly is vacuumed, it can adsorb the packaging component 900. The conveying element 5111 can be a double-stroke cylinder, and the piston rod of the double-stroke cylinder is connected to the suction cup assembly, which can drive the suction cup assembly to reciprocate along the X direction. The first forming element 512 can be at least one stop (e.g., two baffles) disposed on the moving trajectory of the conveying element 5111.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second molding module includes a second molding element 521 and a transfer part 522. The transfer part 522 includes a first transfer unit 5221 and a second transfer unit 5222. The first transfer unit 5221 is located above and connected to the second molding element 521. The first transfer unit 5221 can drive the second molding element 521 to move up and down along the Z-axis, thereby enabling the second molding element to touch the attachment component and realize the second molding of the attachment component. The second transfer unit 5222 controls the second molding module 52 to move up and down along the Z-axis, thereby enabling the target attachment component after the second molding to be moved to the inner or outer periphery of the box body 800 to be attached, and attach it to the inner or outer periphery of the box body 800 to be attached. The first transfer unit 5221 and the second transfer unit 5222 can be two cylinders with different strokes, for example, a first transfer cylinder and a second transfer cylinder, respectively. In this case, the stroke of the first transfer cylinder is less than that of the second transfer cylinder.

[0064] In some embodiments, the second forming element 521 includes a clamping portion 5211 and an opening / closing element 5212. The clamping portion 5211 can be two finger cylinders, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the opening / closing element 5212 along the Y-axis direction. The opening / closing element 5212 can drive the two finger cylinders to move closer to or further away from each other in the Y-axis direction. The opening / closing element 5212 can be a parallel opening and closing type pneumatic gripper driven by cylinders.

[0065] Taking the wrapping strip as a packaging component 900 as an example, when the wrapping strip of the first initial shape is "two-fold", Figure 1 The working process of the packaging component forming mechanism shown is as follows:

[0066] First forming: The piston rod of the double-stroke cylinder extends with the suction cup assembly and reaches the vicinity of the retaining strip. The suction cup assembly adheres to the retaining strip and retracts along the X-axis with the piston rod. Because the length of the retaining strip is greater than the width of the gap between the stops, when the retaining strip reaches the vicinity of the stops and further passes through the gap between the stops, both ends of the retaining strip are blocked by the stops and deform, and the retaining strip is formed from its original strip shape into a "..." "The shape completes the first forming of the circumference strip."

[0067] Second Forming - Inner Bar: The second transfer cylinder drives the parallel opening and closing gripper and finger cylinder to move down along the Z-axis between the two stops. Then, the finger cylinder clamps the two sides of the inner bar, the suction cup assembly releases the inner bar, and the piston rod of the double-stroke cylinder continues to retract (this prevents the inner bar from being blocked by the suction cup assembly in the subsequent forming). Immediately afterwards, the parallel opening and closing gripper drives the finger cylinder to move closer together, and the two sides of the inner bar retract inward along with the inward pulling force of the finger cylinder. The middle edge of the inner bar is compressed and arches up, and the inner bar is formed from " "Bend it into a "∩" shape to complete the second forming of packaging component 900.

[0068] Second forming - outer perimeter strip: Unlike the inner perimeter strip, the parallel opening and closing pneumatic grippers drive the finger cylinders to move away from each other. The two sides of the perimeter strip expand outward together with the outward pulling force of the finger cylinders. The lateral dimension of the perimeter strip is greater than the lateral dimension of the attached box body 800, thus completing the second forming of the perimeter strip.

[0069] After the packaging component forming mechanism 500 completes the above two forming processes, the second forming module 52, controlled by the second transfer cylinder, moves along the Z-axis with the finger cylinder holding the retaining strip, and moves the retaining strip, after the second forming, to the inner or outer perimeter of the box body 800 to be attached, and attaches it to the inner or outer perimeter of the box body 800. Then, each component returns to its initial position, ready to enter the forming and attachment of the second retaining strip, and so on.

[0070] The packaging component forming mechanism 500 can quickly and accurately form the packaging component 900 at least twice, which can not only improve production efficiency, but also improve the yield rate.

[0071] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a bonding device for a packaging component. Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional view of the bonding device for packaging components.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, the packaging component bonding device includes a box body glue application mechanism 300 for applying glue to the side wall of the box body 800 to be bonded; it also includes a packaging component forming mechanism 500, disposed on one side of the box body glue application mechanism 300, for deforming the packaging component 900 to the target bonding component, and moving the target bonding component by a transfer component and mounting it on the outer or inner periphery of the box body 800 after glue application, wherein the first direction dimension of the target bonding component is greater than or less than the first direction dimension of the box body 800 to be bonded; it also includes a pressing mechanism 600, located on one side of the packaging component forming mechanism 500, for pressing the glued surface of the box body 800 to be bonded with the target bonding component.

[0073] In some optional embodiments, the box body glue application mechanism 300 applies glue to the side wall of the box body 800 to be attached, and the side wall to be glued includes the inner side wall or the outer side wall.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, during the process of applying glue to the box body 800, the box body 800 can be fixed while applying glue; or the glue can be applied when the box body 800 and the glue application part of the box body glue application mechanism 300 are in a relatively static state.

[0075] The pressing mechanism 600 presses the adhesive surface of the box body 800 to be attached with the target attachment component, so that the adhesive firmly attaches the target attachment component to the adhesive surface of the box body 800 to be attached.

[0076] The working process of the packaging component bonding device provided in this embodiment is as follows: the box body glue applicator 300 applies glue to the inner or outer side wall of the box body 800 to be bonded, forming a glued surface; then, the packaging component 900 completes the above-mentioned at least two forming processes on the packaging component forming mechanism 500 to obtain the target bonding component, which is moved and bonded to the outer or inner periphery of the box body 800 after glue application; then, the strip pressing mechanism 600 presses the glued surface of the box body 800 to be bonded with the target bonding component.

[0077] The packaging component bonding device provided in this application can not only improve the production efficiency of 900-fold packaging component bonding, but also improve the yield rate.

[0078] Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the box feeding mechanism provided by the present invention. For some optional embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The packaging component bonding device also includes a box feeding mechanism 200, which is mounted on the base plate of the frame 100. The box feeding mechanism 200 includes a box identifier 202 and a box conveyor 210. When the box to be bonded 800 reaches the preset position, the box identifier 202 sends out identification information, and the box conveyor 210 conveys the box to be bonded 800 to the box gluing mechanism 300 according to the identification information.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, the box feeding mechanism 200 further includes a guide bracket 201, which is installed on the box assembly line to guide and position the box to be attached 800 sent on the assembly line, and to position the box to be attached 800 at a preset position for identification by the box identifier 202.

[0080] In some optional embodiments, the aforementioned box conveying component 210 includes a suction cup 203, a horizontally movable transfer cylinder 205, and a vertically movable first lifting cylinder 204. The transfer cylinder 205 and the first lifting cylinder 204 can drive the suction cup 203 to move horizontally or vertically. When the suction cup 203 is in vacuum, it can attract the box 800 to be attached and convey it to the box gluing mechanism 300.

[0081] In some alternative embodiments, the box conveyor 210 can also be any other structure capable of picking up and moving items, such as a robotic arm. The hand of the robotic arm is used to pick up the box 800 to be attached, which can be done by adsorption, clamping or holding, etc. The robotic arm drives the box 800 to be attached to move.

[0082] The box feeding mechanism 200 can accurately guide and position the box to be attached 800, and then transfer it to the box gluing mechanism 300. Therefore, it can reduce the turnover loss of the box to be attached 800 during the production process and reduce labor costs.

Figure 2 and Figure 4 The box body glue application mechanism 300 of this application includes: a positioning component 310, which is used to position the box body 800 to be attached, which is transported by the box body feeding mechanism 200, on the glue application station 330; the box body glue application mechanism 300 also includes a glue application component 320, which is located on one side of the positioning component 310, and is used to apply glue to the box body 800 to be attached, which is fixed on the glue application station 330.

The operation of the positioning component 310 includes: the positioning cylinder 311 driving the positioning bracket 312 to move and position the box body 800 to be attached on the glue application station 330.

[0085] The positioning component 310 can also be any other structure that enables the positioning and movement of items, such as a robotic arm, a conveyor assembly combining a conveyor belt and a guide plate, etc.

[0086] In some optional embodiments, the glue application assembly 320 includes a glue gun driving component 322, a glue gun shifting component 321 mounted on the glue gun driving component 322, and a glue gun 323 mounted on the glue gun shifting component 321; the glue gun shifting component 321 is used to move the glue gun nozzle of the glue gun 323 to align with the inner or outer side wall of the box body 800 to be glued and fixed on the glue application station 330; the glue gun driving component 322 is used to drive the glue gun 323 to apply glue to the inner wall (e.g., inner side wall, inner bottom wall, etc.) or outer wall (e.g., outer side wall, outer top wall) of the box body 800 to be glued.

[0087] Optionally, the glue gun drive component 322 is mounted on the bracket 340, and the glue gun drive component 322 may be a gantry module; the glue gun shifting component 321 includes a second lifting cylinder 3211 and a rotary motor 3212 mounted on the gantry module.

[0089] In some alternative embodiments, the glue gun shifting component 321 can also be any other structure capable of moving the item, such as a robotic arm; the glue gun driving component 322 can also be a motor assembly, etc.

[0090] The 300 box body glue application mechanism achieves automated and uniform glue application, improving glue application efficiency. At the same time, it works closely with other mechanisms to improve the overall efficiency and yield of the wrapping strip folding.

[0091] Figure 5 This is a perspective view of the packaging component feeding mechanism provided by the present invention. For some alternative embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 5 The packaging component bonding device also includes a packaging component feeding mechanism 400. The packaging component feeding mechanism 400 includes a hopper 402, a push block 401 installed in the hopper, and a drive member 410 connected to the push block 401. The drive member 410 is used to drive the push block 401, so that the push block 401 moves the packaging component 900 in the hopper 402 toward the feeding port 406 of the hopper 402.

[0092] In some alternative embodiments, the drive element 410 includes a pulley block 404, a flexible rope 405, and a counterweight 403. The pulley block 404 is in contact with the flexible rope 405, and the counterweight 403 is installed at one end of the flexible rope 405. Under the gravity of the counterweight 403, the flexible rope 405 drives the pulley block 404 to slide, thereby generating a driving force.

[0093] The packaging component feeding mechanism 400 and the first forming module 51 of the packaging component forming mechanism 500 are precisely matched as follows: the feeding port 406 of the hopper 402 is close to the first forming element 512 of the packaging component forming mechanism 500, and the picking element 511 of the packaging component forming mechanism 500 can pass through the first forming element 512. When the picking element 511 reaches the vicinity of the feeding port 406 of the hopper 402, it picks up the packaging component 900 when it comes into contact with it. The picking element 511 then carries the packaging component 900 to the packaging component forming mechanism 500 for the above-mentioned at least two forming and attaching processes.

[0094] In some alternative implementations, multiple packaging components 900 can be placed in the slatted hopper 402 at one time. The push block 401 and the drive component 410 cooperate with each other to convert the gravity of the weight 403 into a horizontal thrust, thereby continuously pushing the packaging components 900 forward and continuously providing packaging components 900 to the material picking element 511.

[0095] The packaging component feeding mechanism 400 adopts a non-powered automatic feeding method, which can save energy and effectively reduce equipment failure rate.

[0096] Figure 6 A perspective view of the pressing mechanism provided by the present invention. For some alternative embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 6 The pressing mechanism 600 includes a lifting part 606 and a pressing assembly 610 connected to the lifting part 606; the lifting part 606 is used to drive the pressing assembly 610 closer to the box body 800 to be attached; the pressing assembly 610 includes a driving part 620 and a pressing plate 630 connected to the driving part 620, the driving part 620 is used to drive the pressing plate 630 to press the adhesive surface of the box body 800 to be attached with the target attachment assembly.

[0097] In some alternative implementations, each sidewall of the attachment box 800 that contacts the target attachment component is provided with at least one clamping plate.

[0098] In some alternative embodiments, when the clamping plate 630 is disposed on the outer periphery of the box body 800 to be attached, the driving unit 620 is used to drive the clamping plate 630 to retract inward so as to press the target attachment component and the adhesive surface on the periphery of the box body 800 to be attached together.

[0099] In other alternative embodiments, when the clamping plate 630 is disposed on the inner periphery of the box body 800 to be attached, the driving unit 620 is used to drive the clamping plate 630 to expand outward so as to press the target attachment component and the adhesive surface of the inner periphery of the box body 800 to be attached together.

[0100] In some alternative embodiments, the lifting part 606 may be a lifting cylinder; the driving part 620 may include a front pressing cylinder 604 and two side pressing cylinders 605; the pressing plate 630 includes a front pressing plate 603 connected to the front pressing cylinder 604 and two side pressing plates 602 connected to the two side pressing cylinders 605.

[0101] Taking the inner cladding strip as the target attachment component, and the first initial shape of the cladding strip being "two-fold" as an example, the working process of the pressing mechanism 600 is explained as follows: The lifting part 606 drives the driving part 620 and the pressing plate 630 to approach the outer box to be pressed. The front pressing cylinder 604 drives the front pressing plate 603 to press the middle edge of the cladding strip against the inner wall of the outer box. The two pressing cylinders 605 drive the two pressing plates 602 to press the two sides of the cladding strip against the inner wall of the outer box, so that the three inner walls of the box body 800 to be attached, which are coated with glue, are tightly attached to the cladding strip.

[0102] In some alternative embodiments, the lifting unit 606 can also be other structures that enable the movement of the clamping assembly 610, such as a robotic arm. The front clamping cylinder 604 and the side clamping cylinders 605 can also be other structures that drive the movement of the clamping plate 630, such as a linear motor.

[0103] The pressing mechanism 600 can firmly bond the packaging component 900 to the box body 800 to be attached, greatly improving the yield rate.

[0104] In some alternative embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The packaging component bonding device also includes a feeding mechanism 700, which is located on one side of the wrapping strip pressing mechanism 600 and is used to feed the box with the packaging component 900 attached to it to the next station on the production line.

[0105] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
