Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. It should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used in this invention to describe various information, but this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this invention, "first" information can also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information can also be referred to as "first" information.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a packaging machine, which includes a frame 1, a paper feeding device 2, and a paper folding device 3. Both the paper feeding device 2 and the paper folding device 3 are mounted on the frame 1. The paper feeding device 2 is used to convey packaging paper to the paper folding device 3. The paper folding device 3 includes a paper folding mechanism 31, a first pressing mechanism 32, a second pressing mechanism 33, and a rotating output mechanism 34. The first pressing mechanism 32 is located above the paper folding mechanism 31, and the rotating output mechanism 34 is located above the paper folding mechanism 31. Below 31; the first pressing mechanism 32 is used to press the cookware through the folding mechanism 31 to the rotating output mechanism 34, the folding mechanism 31 is used to wrap the packaging paper around the outer periphery of the cookware and gather the upper end of the packaging paper to close it, the rotating output mechanism 34 is used to drive the cookware to rotate so that the upper end of the packaging paper is spirally closed, and to convey the cookware with the upper end of the packaging paper spirally closed to the second pressing assembly, the second pressing mechanism 33 is used to press the packaging paper with the upper end closed into the interior of the cookware.

[0033] Before packaging the cookware, the wrapping paper is placed on the paper feeding device 2, which then feeds the wrapping paper to the folding device 3. The cookware is then placed on the folding device 3 with the wrapping paper by hand or a robotic arm. The folding device 3 wraps the wrapping paper around the outer perimeter of the cookware, thus completing the packaging process. This allows for automated packaging of the cookware, achieving modular packaging without manual operation, effectively improving packaging efficiency while ensuring packaging quality and ease of use. This invention improves cookware packaging efficiency and guarantees packaging quality.

[0034] For example, the paper feeding device 2 includes a lifting mechanism 21 and a conveying mechanism 22. The lifting mechanism 21 includes a transmission assembly 211 and a first motor 212. Two transmission assemblies 211 are provided and symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 1. A support plate 213 is connected between the two transmission assemblies 211. The first motor 212 is connected to the transmission assembly 211 and drives the support plate 213 to move up and down through the transmission assembly 211. The conveying mechanism 22 is located above the transmission assembly 211. The conveying mechanism 22 includes a mounting component 221, a first cylinder 222, a second cylinder 223, a movable component 224, a mounting rod 225, and a first cylinder 223. A suction cup 226 is provided. The mounting component 221 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The first cylinder 222 is mounted on the mounting component 221. The telescopic end of the first cylinder 222 is fixedly connected to the movable component 224 and is used to drive the movable component 224 to move in the front-back direction. The second cylinder 223 is mounted on the movable component 224. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 223 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 225 and is used to drive the mounting rod 225 to move in the up-down direction. Multiple first suction cups 226 are provided and are all mounted on the mounting rod 225. The multiple first suction cups 226 are evenly spaced. The first suction cup 226 is connected to an external vacuum pump.

[0035] Before packaging the cookware, the packaging paper is placed on the support plate 213. The first motor 212 drives the support plate 213 to move up and down, so that the packaging paper is transported to the corresponding position of the first suction cup 226. At this time, the paper is attracted to the first suction cup 226, driving the first cylinder 222 and the second cylinder 223 to move the packaging paper to the folding device 3. Turning off the vacuum pump will release the suction cup. The structure is simple and not easy to jam. Due to the setting of the first suction cup 226, the packaging paper can be prevented from being damaged during the transmission process, reducing the number of manual adjustments and time, avoiding material waste, and ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent processes.

[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting rod 225 is a square rod, and the suction cup is mounted on the mounting rod 225 via a suction cup bracket. The suction cup bracket has a square through hole 3125 through which the mounting rod 225 can pass. Therefore, the square through hole 3125 prevents the suction cup from rotating during movement, thus ensuring that the suction cup can smoothly transfer the packaging paper.

[0037] For example, the mounting component 221 is provided with a first guide assembly 227. There are two first guide assemblies 227, which are respectively located at the left and right ends of the first cylinder 222. The first guide assembly 227 includes a first fixed rod 2271 and a first movable rod 2272. The first fixed rod 2271 is fixedly mounted on the mounting component 221. The first movable rod 2272 is movably inserted into the first fixed rod 2271. One end of the first movable rod 2272 is fixedly connected to the movable component 224. The movable component 224 is provided with a second guide assembly 228. There are two second guide assemblies 228, which are respectively located at the left and right ends of the second cylinder 223. The second guide assembly 228 includes a second fixed rod 2281 and a second movable rod 2282. The second fixed rod 2281 is fixedly mounted on the movable component 224. The second movable rod 2282 is movably inserted into the second fixed rod 2281. One end of the second movable rod 2282 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 225. Therefore, the first guide assembly 227 and the second guide assembly 228 can play a supporting and guiding role, ensuring the connection between the first cylinder 222 and the moving part 224 and between the second cylinder 223 and the mounting rod 225, avoiding breakage during the extension of the first cylinder 222 and the second cylinder 223, and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0038] For example, the transmission assembly 211 includes a first gear pair 2111, a transmission shaft 2112, a second gear pair 2113, a lead screw and nut pair 2114, a first linear guide pair 2115, and a support member 2116. The first motor 212 is connected to the transmission shaft 2112 through the first gear pair 2111 and is used to drive the transmission shaft 2112 to rotate. Two second gear pairs 2113 are provided and respectively disposed at the left and right ends of the transmission shaft 2112. The second gear pair 2113... The moving bevel gear is connected to the lead screw of the lead screw and nut pair 2114. The guide rail of the first linear guide pair 2115 is vertically fixed on the frame 1. The lead screw of the lead screw and nut pair 2114 is parallel to the guide rail of the first linear guide pair 2115. The nut of the lead screw and nut pair 2114 is fixedly connected to the slider of the first linear guide pair 2115. The support member 2116 is fixed on the slider of the first linear guide pair 2115. The support plate 213 is fixed on the support member 2116.

[0039] For example, the frame 1 is provided with two guide limiting components 23 for limiting paper sway. The guide limiting components 23 are adjustable left and right on the frame 1. Specifically, the guide limiting component 23 includes a guide plate 231, a mounting bracket, and a connecting rod 233. The mounting bracket is adjustable left and right on the frame 1, and the guide plate 231 is connected to the mounting bracket through the connecting rod 233. Due to the thinness of the paper, the guide plate 231 can limit the paper during the conveying process of the conveying mechanism 22, preventing the paper from swaying during conveying and ensuring that the paper fits perfectly with the cookware for easy use. In addition, in actual use, the distance between the two guide limiting components 23 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the paper for convenient use.

[0040] For example, the folding mechanism 31 includes a folding table 311 and a paper clamp 312. The paper clamp 312 is installed below the folding table 311. The paper clamp 312 includes a top plate 3121, blades 3122, a turntable 3123, and a second motor 3124. The top plate 3121 and the turntable 3123 are coaxially arranged. Multiple blades 3122 are provided and located between the top plate 3121 and the turntable 3123. The power output end of the second motor 3124 is connected to the turntable 3123 and is used to drive the blades 3122 to rotate. When the turntable... When the turntable 3123 rotates to the first angle, the blade 3122 is in a retracted state, hidden between the top plate 3121 and the turntable 3123, forming a through hole 3125 for the cookware to pass through. When the turntable 3123 rotates to the second angle, the blade 3122 is in an extended state, extending out of the through hole 3125 and forming a gathering opening 3126 at its center for closing the packaging paper. The folding table 311 has a notch 3127 opposite to the through hole 3125. In this embodiment, the gathering opening 3126 is a hexagonal opening, and the notch 3127 is surrounded by stiff brushes.

[0041] After the packaging paper is fed to the folding table 311 by the paper feeding device 2, the first pressing mechanism 32 is raised to its highest position. The turntable 3123 is driven to rotate to the first angle by the second motor 3124. The pot is placed on the folding table 311 and the corresponding position of the paper clamp 312 by manual or robotic arm. The first pressing mechanism 32 is driven to press the pot through the notch 3127 and the through hole 3125 to the rotating output mechanism 34. At this time, the turntable 3123 is driven to rotate to the second angle by the first motor 212. The blade 3122 extends out of the through hole 3125 and forms a gathering opening 3126 in its center for closing the packaging paper. Then the rotating output mechanism 34 drives the pot to rotate, so that the upper end of the packaging paper is spirally closed. Finally, the second pressing mechanism 33 presses the closed packaging paper into the pot, thus completing the folding action of the pot.

[0042] It is understood that the folding table 311 is also equipped with a transfer assembly 36. Two transfer assemblies 36 are provided and respectively located at the left and right ends of the folding table 311. Each transfer assembly 36 includes a belt conveyor and multiple transfer wheels. The belt conveyor is mounted on the frame 1 and arranged along the front-rear direction of the frame 1. The transfer wheels are mounted on the frame 1 via brackets. The transfer wheels can transfer the packaging paper from the first suction cup 226 to the folding table 311. This avoids interference between the paper feeding device 2 and the folding device 3, facilitating use.

[0043] Specifically, the upper surface of the blade 3122 is provided with a first engaging member 3128, the top plate 3121 is provided with a plurality of first guide grooves 3129 that cooperate with the first engaging member 3128, the lower surface of the blade 3122 is provided with a second engaging member 3130, and the turntable 3123 is provided with a plurality of second guide grooves 3131 that cooperate with the second engaging member 3130. The number of blades 3122, first guide grooves 3129, and second guide grooves 3131 are matched. It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the first guide grooves 3129 are set as straight grooves, and the plurality of first guide grooves 3129 are all inclined in the same direction. The second guide grooves 3131 are set as arc grooves, and the plurality of second guide grooves 3131 are arranged in a vortex shape.

[0044] For example, the first pressing mechanism 32 includes a first mounting frame 321, a second mounting frame 322, a third cylinder 323, and a fourth cylinder 324. The first mounting frame 321 is fixedly disposed on the upper end of the frame 1. A second linear guide rail pair 325 is provided on the first mounting frame 321. The guide rail of the second linear guide rail pair 325 is fixed on the first mounting frame 321 and arranged in the vertical direction. The second mounting frame 322 is fixedly connected to the slider of the second linear guide rail pair 325. The third cylinder 323 is disposed on the first mounting frame 321. The telescopic end of the third cylinder 323 is connected to the slider of the second linear guide rail pair 325 and is used to drive the second mounting frame 322 to move up and down. The fourth cylinder 324 is mounted on the second mounting frame 322. The telescopic end of the fourth cylinder 324 faces downward and is opposite to the center of the through hole 3125. A second suction cup is provided on the telescopic end of the fourth cylinder 324. The second suction cup is externally connected to a vacuum pump. Before packaging, ensure that the first cylinder 222 positions the second mounting bracket 322 at the top. During packaging, the third cylinder 323 drives the second mounting bracket 322 to move downward, causing the fourth cylinder 324 mounted on the second mounting bracket 322 to move downward. The fourth cylinder 324 extends to drive the cookware to pass through the notch 3127 and through hole 3125 to the rotating output mechanism 34. At the same time, the second suction cup can firmly hold the cookware to prevent it from shifting, ensuring that the packaging of the cookware is carried out smoothly.

[0045] For example, the rotary output mechanism 34 includes a conveying assembly 341 and a rotating assembly 342. The conveying assembly 341 is disposed below the paper clamp 312, and the rotating assembly 342 is disposed on the input end of the conveying assembly 341. The rotating assembly 342 includes a fixed frame 3421, an adjusting frame 3422, a drive wheel 3423, a rotating shaft 3424, a guide wheel 3425, a third motor 3426, a third linear guide pair 3427, and a fifth cylinder. The fixed frame 3421 is fixedly disposed on the frame 1, and the guide rail of the third linear guide pair 3427 is fixedly disposed on the frame 1. The slider of the third linear guide pair 3427 is fixedly connected to the adjusting frame 3422. The telescopic end of the fifth cylinder is fixedly connected to the adjusting frame 3422 and is used to drive the adjusting frame 3422 to move. The fixed frame 3421 and the adjusting frame 3422 are arranged at intervals. Both the fixed frame 3421 and the adjusting frame 3422 are located below the paper clamp 312. The drive wheel 3423 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 3424. The rotating shaft 3424 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 3421. A drive wheel is fixedly mounted on the power output end of the third motor 3426. A driven wheel is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 3424. The drive wheel is connected to the driven wheel via a belt. The power output end of the third motor 3426 drives the rotating shaft 3424 to rotate, thereby driving the drive wheel 3423 to rotate. Both the fixed frame 3421 and the adjusting frame 3422 are equipped with guide wheels 3425. Both the drive wheel 3423 and the guide wheel 3425 can abut against the outer peripheral side wall of the pot. Before packaging, the distance between the fixing frame 3421 and the adjusting frame 3422 is adjusted according to the actual size of the cookware. The third motor 3426 drives the driving wheel to rotate and drives the driven wheel, so that the rotating shaft 3424 and the driving wheel 3423 rotate synchronously. Therefore, the cookware can rotate under the action of the driving wheel 3423. With the cooperation of the paper clamp 312, the end of the packaging paper can complete the spiral closing shape to wrap the cookware. Furthermore, the conveying assembly 341 is composed of a belt conveyor and a roller conveyor.

[0046] For example, the second pressing mechanism 33 includes a third mounting bracket 331 and a sixth cylinder 332. The third mounting bracket 331 is fixed to the output end of the conveying assembly 341, and the sixth cylinder 332 is mounted on the third mounting bracket 331 with its power output end facing downwards. Thus, the cookware can be conveyed to the second pressing mechanism 33 via the conveying assembly 341, and the upper end of the wrapping paper can be pressed into the cookware by the sixth cylinder 332, completing the entire folding and wrapping process of the cookware.

[0047] For example, the frame 1 is provided with a placement rack 35 for placing cookware and a fourth motor 351. Two placement racks 35 are provided and arranged opposite each other. The frame 1 is provided with a third linear guide rail pair 3427. The guide rail of the third linear guide rail is fixed to the frame 1 and arranged in a left-right direction. The placement rack 35 is fixedly connected to the slider of the third linear guide rail pair 3427. The power output end of the fourth motor 351 is fixedly connected to the slider of the third linear guide rail pair 3427 and is used to drive the placement rack 35 to move left and right. Before packaging, the cookware is placed on the placement rack 35 manually or by a robotic arm. After the second suction cup adsorbs the cookware, the fourth motor 351 drives the two placement racks 35 to move away from each other. This avoids the cookware touching the packaging paper before it is adsorbed by the suction cup, preventing the packaging paper from shifting before packaging, effectively reducing manual adjustment time and speeding up the folding efficiency of the cookware.

[0048] Specifically, the placement rack 35 is equipped with guide rollers 353, limiting wheels 354, and limiting frames 355. Multiple guide rollers 353 are evenly spaced in the front-to-back direction. The limiting frames 355 are mounted on the placement rack 35 and are inclined. The limiting wheels 354 are mounted on the limiting frames 355. Thus, the limiting wheels 354 prevent the cookware from slipping out, facilitating use.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first motor 212 is provided with a gear 3132, and the turntable 3123 is provided with a toothed mouth 3133 that cooperates with the gear 3132.

[0050] For example, both the top plate 3121 and the turntable 3123 are annular. The top plate 3121 has multiple mounting brackets. The upper end of each mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the top plate 3121. Guide wheels 3135 are mounted on the mounting brackets, and each guide wheel 3135 has a U-shaped groove that matches the thickness of the turntable 3123. The guide wheels 3135 prevent the turntable 3123 from deflecting during rotation, thus avoiding damage to the paper clamp 312.
