[0048] See also Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, a packing device is proposed for loading stacked materials 100 from a preset loading position into a material box 200. The packing device includes a transfer module 1, a rotating part 2, a frame 3, a clamping assembly 4, a push-down assembly 5, and a closing mechanism 6. The rotating part 2 is arranged at the output end of the transfer module 1; the bottom of the frame 3 is provided with an opening, and the side of the frame 3 is connected to the rotating end of the rotating part 2; the clamping assembly 4 includes a lifting cylinder 41 and a clamping part 42, the lifting cylinder 41 is arranged at the top of the frame 3, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 41 passes through the frame 3, and the clamping part 42 is arranged at the output end of the lifting cylinder 41, and the clamping part 42 is configured to clamp the stacked materials 100; the push-down assembly 5 is arranged inside the frame 3, and can push the stacked materials 100 out smoothly when loading; the closing mechanism 6 is arranged at the opening and is configured to open or close the opening.

[0049] The stacking material 100 is then loaded onto the loading platform 100 and the stacking material 100 is then loaded onto the loading platform 100. The stacking material 100 is then loaded onto the loading platform 100 and the loading platform 100 is then loaded onto the loading platform 100.

[0050] See also Figure 2The frame 3 includes a first side panel 31, a top panel 32, and a second side panel 33, which are connected vertically in sequence. The rotating end of the rotating portion 2 is connected to either the first side panel 31 or the second side panel 33. It is understood that in this embodiment, the frame 3 is a concave structure. The distance between the first side panel 31 and the second side panel 33 can be adapted to the width or the length of the stack 100 to prevent the stack 100 from being placed inside the frame 3 by the clamping assembly 4 during the clamping process. The specific distance between the first side panel 31 and the second side panel 33 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. Correspondingly, the height of the stack 100 should be adapted to the length or width of the material box 200 to prevent the stack 100 from being unable to be loaded into the material box 200.

[0051] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 4 For reference, the clamping portion 42 includes a clamping cylinder 421 and two clamping jaws 422. The clamping cylinder 421 has two output ends, and the two clamping jaws 422 are respectively provided at the two output ends of the clamping cylinder 421. The first side plate 31, the second side plate 33, and the two clamping jaws 422 form an opening. It can be understood that before clamping the stack 100 at the loading position, the two clamping jaws 422 are respectively located at the top and bottom of the stack 100, and the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 33 are respectively located at the sides of the stack 100. When clamping the stack 100, the distance between the two clamping jaws 422 is first adjusted to a distance greater than the height of the stack 100 by the clamping cylinder 421, and then the two clamping jaws 422 are respectively placed at the top and bottom of the stack 100 by the lifting cylinder 41. Finally, the distance between the two clamping jaws 422 is readjusted by the clamping cylinder 421 to complete the clamping of the stack 100.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to avoid deviation of the telescopic cylinder during movement, the packing equipment also includes a plurality of guide rods 7 and linear bearings 8. The linear bearings 8 are arranged on the top plate 32 and are sleeved on the outside of the guide rods 7. The guide rods 7 vertically pass through the top plate 32, and the bottom of the guide rods 7 is connected to the clamping cylinder 421. It can be understood that the linear bearings 8 are embedded in the top plate 32, the guide rods 7 are movably sleeved inside the linear bearings 8, and the bottom of the guide rods 7 is connected to the clamping cylinder 421. In this embodiment, there are two guide rods 7 and two linear bearings 8, and the two guide rods 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the telescopic cylinder. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the number of guide rods 7 and linear bearings 8 can also be other numbers, and there is no specific limitation in this embodiment.

[0053] See also Figure 3The push-down assembly 5 includes a push-down cylinder 51 and a push plate 52. The push-down cylinder 51 is arranged on the top plate 32. The output end of the push-down cylinder 51 passes through the top plate 32, and the push plate 52 is arranged at the output end of the push-down cylinder 51. It can be understood that when the stacked material 100 is loaded into the material box 200, the clamping assembly 4 applies a horizontal force to the stacked material 100 to clamp the stacked material 100. The push plate 52 applies a vertical downward force to the stacked material 100 through the push-down cylinder 51, so that the stacked material 100 can gradually fall off from the clamping assembly 4, thereby allowing the stacked material 100 to be smoothly loaded into the material box 200. It should be noted that the length of the push plate 52 should not be less than the height of the stacked material 100 so that the stacked material 100 can be completely pushed out. In the embodiment, the push-down assembly 5 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of push-down assemblies 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the clamping assembly 4. It is understood that the push plate 52 is arranged parallel to the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 33 to avoid interference between the clamping assembly 4 and the push plate 52 during the clamping process. Figure 3 The closing mechanism 6 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of closing mechanisms 6 are respectively provided on the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 33. The closing mechanism 6 includes a closing cylinder 61 and a closing portion 62. The closing cylinder 61 is provided on the first side plate 31 or the second side plate 33. The extension direction of the closing cylinder 61 is consistent with the length direction of the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 33. The closing portion 62 is provided at the bottom of the first side plate 31 or the second side plate 33, and the closing portion 62 can open or close the opening under the action of the closing cylinder 61 to prevent the stacked materials 100 from falling. It can be understood that when clamping the material, the closing cylinder 61 contracts to open the closing portion 62. Then, during the transportation process, the closing cylinder 61 extends to close the opening to prevent the stacked materials 100 from falling from the frame 3. After the opening is arranged relative to the material box 200, the closing cylinder 61 is recovered and the opening is opened again for unloading. Specifically, the closing portion 62 includes a rotating plate 621, a limiting rod 622, and two connecting plates 623. The rotating plate 621 is connected to the output end of the closing cylinder 61. The two connecting plates 623 are respectively disposed at both ends of the rotating plate 621, and the middle portions of the two connecting plates 623 are rotatably connected to the sidewalls of the first side plate 31 or the second side plate 33. The two ends of the limiting rod 622 are respectively connected to the two connecting plates 623, and the limiting rod 622 and the rotating plate 621 are respectively located on either side of the rotation axis of the connecting plates 623. In other feasible embodiments, the closing portion 62 may also have other structures, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0054] See also Figure 1The box packing equipment also includes a chain conveyor line 9 and a roller conveyor line 10. The chain conveyor line 9 is configured to transport different stacks of materials 100 to the loading position respectively, and the roller conveyor line 10 can move the material box 200 at the previous working position to the next working position. It can be understood that the different stacks of materials 100 are transported to the loading position by the chain conveyor line 9, and then the stacks of materials 100 at the loading position are clamped by the clamping assembly 4. Under the action of the rotating part 2 and the transfer module 1, the stacks of materials 100 are transported to the top of the material box 200, completing the loading of the material box 200. The filled material box 200 is moved to the next working position under the action of the roller conveyor line 10.

[0055] Furthermore, a height detection module (not shown) is provided on one side of the chain conveyor line 9. The height detection module is configured to detect the height of the stack 100. The height detection module is preferably a photoelectric switch. When the height of the stack 100 is detected to exceed a preset height value, the staff will remove the material. When the height of the stack 100 is detected to be lower than the preset height value, the staff will refill the material.

[0056] Based on the above, a packing method is also proposed in this embodiment, which includes the following steps: by controlling the transfer module 1, the opening is opposite to the side of the stacked material 100; controlling the clamping component 4 to clamp the stacked material 100, and placing the stacked material 100 inside the frame 3; controlling the closing mechanism 6 to close the opening, and making the opening face downward through the rotating part 2; controlling the transfer module 1 to move the frame 3 to the top of the material box 200, so that the opening is opposite to the opening of the material box 200, and open the opening; controlling the pushing component 5 to push the stacked material 100 to the inside of the material box 200.

[0057] The stacking material 100 is then loaded onto the loading platform 100 and the stacking material 100 is then loaded onto the loading platform 100. The stacking material 100 is then loaded onto the loading platform 100 and the loading platform 100 is then loaded onto the loading platform 100.
