[0002] After goods are packaged and placed in boxes, the boxes often need to be sealed with tape, that is, the two sides of the box are sealed with tape. Traditionally, sealing boxes is done manually by using tape to seal the two sides of the box.

[0022] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0023] Obtain the current product batch information of the packaging box, wherein the current product batch information includes the size information of the first packaging box;

[0024] When a new batch of goods information carrying the size information of the second packaging box is received, and the size information of the second packaging box is different from the size information of the first packaging box, the first limiting device returns to the first standby position, the first tape attaching component returns to the second standby position, the second limiting device returns to the third standby position, and the second tape attaching component returns to the fourth standby position.

[0045] After goods are packaged and placed in boxes, the boxes often need to be sealed with tape, that is, the two sides of the box are sealed with tape. Traditionally, sealing boxes is done manually by using tape to seal the two sides of the box. However, with the continuous development of the economy and the increasing demand for goods production, traditional manual sealing is not only costly in terms of labor but also inefficient and cannot meet the requirements of huge production capacity.

[0046] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides an automatic box sealing method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. The method is applied to a box sealing and packaging apparatus, which includes a first conveyor roller conveyor, a second conveyor roller conveyor, a first tape attaching device, and a second tape attaching device. The second conveyor roller conveyor is connected to the side of the second end of the first conveyor roller conveyor.

A sensor assembly and a pushing device are located at the second end of the first conveyor roller. The sensor assembly and the pushing device are electrically connected. A second limiting device is provided on the second conveyor roller. A packaging box is placed at the first end of the first conveyor roller. The packaging box has a first upper cover, a second upper cover, a first lower cover, and a second lower cover.

The method includes: located at... The first limiting device in the first standby position moves laterally a first target distance to abut the packaging box. The first central axis is aligned with the second central axis of the first tape attaching device, and the second central axis is aligned with the third central axis, which is the central axis of the first conveyor roller. The first upper tape attaching assembly in the second standby position is adjusted to a first height. When the packaging box is detected to have moved to the first tape attaching starting position, the first upper tape attaching assembly applies tape to the vertical edges of the first upper cover plate and the second upper cover plate aligned with the first central axis. The first lower tape attaching assembly applies tape to the vertical edges of the first lower cover plate and the second lower cover plate aligned with the first central axis. The edges are taped together; when the pushing device receives a first trigger signal from the sensor assembly, the pushing device moves laterally a second target distance to push the packaging box to the first end of the second conveyor roller; the second limiting device, located in the third standby position, moves laterally a third target distance to abut the packaging box; the second upper tape attaching assembly, located in the fourth standby position, adjusts to a second height, and when the packaging box is detected to have moved to the second tape attaching starting position, the second upper tape attaching assembly applies tape to the lateral edges of the first and second upper cover plates, while the second lower tape attaching assembly applies tape to the lateral edges of the first and second lower cover plates. This application provides a control method for various components of a box sealing and packaging device, which completes the automatic sealing operation of the packaging box based on the coordinated operation between the various components of the box sealing and packaging device. Compared with the manual tape sealing method, it can effectively improve the sealing efficiency of the packaging box.

[0047] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of an automatic box sealing method according to an embodiment of this application. This application provides an automatic box sealing method applicable to, for example... Figure 9 The sealing and packaging device shown includes a first conveyor roller 100, a second conveyor roller 200, a first tape attaching device, and a second tape attaching device. The second conveyor roller 200 is connected to the side of the second end of the first conveyor roller 100. The first tape attaching device is connected to the first conveyor roller 100 via a first lifting device 330, and the second tape attaching device is connected to the second conveyor roller 200 via a second lifting device 430. The first tape attaching device includes a first upper tape attaching assembly 310 and a first lower tape attaching assembly 320, and the second tape attaching device includes a second upper tape attaching assembly 410 and a second lower tape attaching assembly 320. The second lower tape attaching assembly 420, the first conveyor roller 100 is provided with a first limiting device, the second end of the first conveyor roller 100 is provided with a sensor assembly and a pushing device 130, the sensor assembly and the pushing device 130 are electrically connected, the second conveyor roller 200 is provided with a second limiting device, the first end of the first conveyor roller 100 is placed with a packaging box, the packaging box is provided with a first upper cover plate, a second upper cover plate, a first lower cover plate and a second lower cover plate, the inner edges of the first upper cover plate and the second upper cover plate, as well as the inner edges of the first lower cover plate and the second lower cover plate are aligned with the first central axis of the packaging box, the method includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0049] In step S110, the first limiting device located in the first standby position moves laterally by a first target distance to abut against the packaging box, wherein the first central axis is aligned with the second central axis of the first tape attaching device, the second central axis is aligned with the third central axis, and the third central axis is the central axis of the first conveyor roller 100.

[0050] In step S120, the first upper tape attaching component 310, located in the second standby position, is adjusted to the first height. When the packaging box is detected to have moved to the first tape attaching starting position, the first upper tape attaching component 310 applies tape to the vertical edges of the first upper cover plate and the second upper cover plate, which are aligned with the first central axis. The first lower tape attaching component 320 applies tape to the vertical edges of the first lower cover plate and the second lower cover plate, which are aligned with the first central axis.

[0051] In step S130, when the pushing device 130 receives a first trigger signal from the sensor assembly, the pushing device 130 moves laterally by a second target distance to push the packaging box to the first end of the second conveyor roller 200.

[0052] Step S140: The second limiting device, located in the third standby position, moves laterally by a third target distance to abut against the packaging box;

[0053] In step S150, the second upper tape attaching component 410, located in the fourth standby position, is adjusted to the second height. When the packaging box is detected to have moved to the second tape attaching starting position, the second upper tape attaching component 410 applies tape to the horizontal edges of the first upper cover and the second upper cover, while the second lower tape attaching component 420 applies tape to the horizontal edges of the first lower cover and the second lower cover.

[0054] It should be noted that the standby position refers to the position when the device is in a waiting-to-work state. (Refer to...) Figure 9 In this embodiment, the first standby position of the first limiting device is located at the side edge of the first conveyor roller 100, the second standby position of the first tape attaching component 310 is located at the highest point of the first lifting device 330, the third standby position of the second limiting device is located at the side edge of the second conveyor roller 200, and the fourth standby position of the second tape attaching component 410 is located at the highest point of the second lifting device 430. By setting standby positions for the first limiting device, the first tape attaching component 310, the second tape attaching component 410, and the second limiting device, it is possible for the first limiting device, the first tape attaching component 310, the second tape attaching component 410, and the second limiting device to return to the standby position after completing the sealing operation of a batch of packaging boxes of one size, in order to prepare for the sealing operation of the next batch of packaging boxes of a new size, without the need for frequent positioning.

[0055] It should be noted that before the sealing and packaging device performs sealing operations on the packaging box at different stages, it is impossible to predict the placement position of the packaging box on the first conveyor roller 100 or the second conveyor roller 200. Therefore, when the packaging box is placed at the first end of the first conveyor roller 100 or the first end of the second conveyor roller 200, it is necessary to limit the packaging box by the first limiting device and the second limiting device respectively, so that when the tape is applied, the central axis of the packaging box can be aligned with the central axis of the tape application device, ensuring the accurate position of the tape application. Therefore, in this embodiment, before completing the sealing operation of a preset number of batch sizes, after each sealing operation of one packaging box in the batch is completed, the first limiting device returns to the first standby position and the second limiting device returns to the third standby position, keeping the positions of the first tape application component 310 and the second tape application component 410 unchanged, reducing the frequent positioning of the first tape application component 310 and the second tape application component 410.

[0056] It should be noted that, as Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the second conveyor roller 200 is connected to the side of the second end of the first conveyor roller 100, so that the packaging box moves from direction A to the edge of the second end of the first conveyor roller 100 to complete the tape application on the vertical sides of the first upper cover, second upper cover, first lower cover and second lower cover of the packaging box. Then, in conjunction with the pushing device, the packaging box is pushed to the second conveyor roller 200 to achieve the tape application on the horizontal sides of the first upper cover, second upper cover, first lower cover and second lower cover of the packaging box. During this process, the second conveyor roller 200 and the first conveyor roller 100 form an L-shaped conveying channel, which can reduce the space occupied by the sealing and packaging device.

[0057] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific sensor components. It can be an infrared distance sensor that generates a first trigger signal when it detects that the distance between the packaging box and the second end edge of the first conveyor roller 100 is less than a preset threshold; or a pressure sensor that generates a first trigger signal when it detects that the packaging box abuts against the second end edge of the first conveyor roller 100.

[0058] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first tape application component 310 and the second tape application component 410. The first tape application component 310 may have a second guide plate 312 at one end near the first end of the first conveyor roller 100, and the second tape application component 410 may have a third guide plate at one end near the first end of the second conveyor roller 200. Both the second guide plate 312 and the third guide plate are provided with inclined surfaces. The driving action of the conveyor roller 110 of the first conveyor roller 100 or the second conveyor roller 200, combined with the guiding action of the inclined surfaces, allows the packaging box to enter the channel corresponding to the tape application operation more smoothly, avoiding damage to the packaging box body and ensuring the sealing quality.

[0059] Understandably, this invention achieves automatic sealing of packaging boxes based on the coordinated operation of various components of the sealing and packaging device, which can effectively improve the sealing efficiency of packaging boxes compared to manual sealing with tape.

[0060] Additionally, refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first limiting device includes a first limiting component 121 and a second limiting component 122. The first limiting component 121 is provided with a first pressure sensor, and the second limiting component 122 is provided with a second pressure sensor. Figure 1 Step S110 includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0061] In step S210, the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122 simultaneously move laterally by a first target distance toward the inner side of the first conveyor roller 100;

[0062] Step S220: When the second trigger signal and the third trigger signal are received, stop the operation of the first limit component 121 and the second limit component 122, wherein the second trigger signal comes from the first pressure sensor and the third trigger signal comes from the second pressure sensor.

[0063] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific order in which the second trigger signal or the third trigger signal is received. The second trigger signal and the third trigger signal can be received simultaneously or sequentially.

[0064] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122. For example, the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122 may have a first guide plate provided at one end near the first end of the first conveyor roller 100. Figure 9 As shown, the first guide plate is provided with an inclined surface. Driven by the conveying roller 110 of the first conveying roller 100, and guided by the inclined surface, the packaging box enters the limiting channel formed by the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122 more smoothly, avoiding damage to the packaging box body and ensuring the sealing quality.

[0065] Understandably, when the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122 simultaneously move laterally by a first target distance toward the inner side of the first conveyor roller 100, the packaging box entering the limiting channel formed by the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122 is positioned in the middle of the limiting channel under the pushing action of the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122. When the second trigger signal and the third trigger signal are received, it indicates that the packaging box has been aligned with the central axis of the first tape attaching device, thereby ensuring the accurate position of the tape.

[0066] Additionally, refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first adhesive tape attaching assembly 310 is provided with a third pressure sensor and a first housing guide mechanism 311. Figure 1 Step S120 includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0067] In step S310, the first upper tape attaching component 310 descends from the second standby position until it receives a fourth trigger signal from the third pressure sensor, at which point the descent of the first upper tape attaching component 310 stops, and the distance between the current position of the first upper tape attaching component 310 and the first lower tape attaching component 320 is a first height.

[0068] In step S320, the first box guide mechanism 311 drives the packaging box to move away from the first end of the first conveyor roller 100. When the packaging box is detected to have moved to the first adhesive application starting position, the first adhesive tape application component 310 applies adhesive tape to the vertical edges of the first and second upper cover plates that are aligned with the first central axis.

[0069] It is understandable that during the first stage of tape application on the packaging box on the first conveyor roller 100, although the conveyor roller 110 of the first conveyor roller 100 can push the packaging box, the packaging box is located in the limiting channel formed by the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122 during the tape application process. It is in contact with the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122 and will be subjected to the force of the first limiting component 121 and the second limiting component 122 on both sides, which makes the packaging box move slowly in the A direction. Based on this, this embodiment provides a first box guide mechanism 311 inside the first upper tape application component to increase the force driving the packaging box to move away from the first end of the first conveyor roller 100, that is, in the A direction, thereby improving the speed of the first stage of tape application on the packaging box. Similarly, this embodiment also provides a second box guide mechanism inside the second upper tape application component to ensure the efficiency of the second stage of tape application on the packaging box on the second conveyor roller 200.

[0070] Understandably, by setting a third pressure sensor in the first tape attaching assembly 310, the first tape attaching assembly 310 is effectively prevented from damaging the packaging box during descent, thus ensuring the sealing quality of the packaging box.

[0071] Additionally, refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second limiting device includes a third limiting component, which is disposed on the side of the second conveyor roller conveyor. The third limiting component is equipped with a fourth pressure sensor, and a seventh pressure sensor is disposed on the inner side of the first end of the second conveyor roller conveyor. The position of the seventh pressure sensor is opposite to the third standby position. Figure 1 Step S140 includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0072] Step S410: The third limiting component moves laterally toward the packaging box;

[0073] Step S420: When the fourth trigger signal and the fifth trigger signal are received, the operation of the third limiting component is stopped. The fourth trigger signal comes from the third pressure sensor, the fifth trigger signal comes from the seventh pressure sensor, and the current position of the third limiting component is a third target distance from the side of the second conveyor roller.

[0074] Understandably, after the packaging box, having completed the first stage of tape application, moves to the edge of the first conveyor roller 100, and is then pushed to the first end of the second conveyor roller 200, the packaging box will be pushed to the edge or near the edge of the second conveyor roller 200. At this point, it is only necessary to control the third limiting component to move laterally towards the packaging box until the fourth and fifth trigger signals are received, indicating that the packaging box has been placed in the correct position. The operation of the third limiting component is then stopped, facilitating the subsequent accurate tape application operation on the lateral edges of the first upper cover, second upper cover, first lower cover, and second lower cover of the packaging box.

[0075] Additionally, refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, Figure 1 Step S150 includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0076] Step S510: After the first upper tape attaching component 310, located in the second standby position, is adjusted to the first height, the height difference between the first upper tape attaching component 310 and the first lower tape attaching component 320 is calculated.

[0077] In step S520, the second upper tape attaching assembly 410 descends from the fourth standby position based on the height difference until the distance between the current position of the second upper tape attaching assembly 410 and the second lower tape attaching assembly 420 is the second height.

[0078] Understandably, after the first upper tape attaching component 310, located in the second standby position, is adjusted to the first height, the height difference between the first upper tape attaching component 310 and the first lower tape attaching component 320 is calculated. This height difference is a suitable height value for tape pasting operations on the packaging boxes of this batch. At this time, the second upper tape attaching component 410 is directly controlled to descend from the fourth standby position based on the height difference until the distance between the current position of the second upper tape attaching component 410 and the second lower tape attaching component 420 is the second height. This allows preparation for the second stage of tape pasting operations to be carried out in advance while the packaging box is performing the first stage of tape pasting operations. At the same time, the second upper tape attaching component 410 does not need to be equipped with a pressure sensor, and the height of the second upper tape attaching component 410 does not need to be controlled when the packaging box arrives at the second conveyor roller 200, thereby reducing the control process and lowering the production cost of the second upper tape attaching component 410.

[0079] Additionally, refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the automatic box sealing method of this application includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0080] Step S610: Obtain the current product batch information of the packaging box, which includes the size information of the first packaging box;

[0081] In step S620, when a new batch of goods information carrying the size information of the second packaging box is received, and the size information of the second packaging box is different from the size information of the first packaging box, the first limiting device returns to the first standby position, the first tape attaching component 310 returns to the second standby position, the second limiting device returns to the third standby position, and the second tape attaching component 410 returns to the fourth standby position.

[0082] Understandably, when a new batch of goods information carrying the size information of the second packaging box is received, and the size information of the second packaging box is different from that of the first packaging box, it indicates that the sealing operation of the packaging box for this batch is about to be completed. Since the size information of the second packaging box is different from that of the first packaging box, the sealing and packaging device needs to adjust the control parameters of each component based on the size information of the second packaging box before sealing the next batch of packaging boxes. Therefore, controlling the first limit device to return to the first standby position, the first tape attaching component 310 to the second standby position, the second limit device to the third standby position, and the second tape attaching component 410 to the fourth standby position can provide convenience for the sealing operation of the packaging box corresponding to the new batch of goods information.

[0083] Additionally, refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second conveyor roller 200 includes a brush device, which includes an upper brush assembly 210 and a lower brush assembly 220. The second upper tape attaching assembly 410 is provided with a fifth pressure sensor, and the second lower tape attaching assembly 420 is provided with a sixth pressure sensor. The automatic box sealing method of this application includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0084] Step S710: Obtain the preset tape size information;

[0085] In step S720, after the second upper tape attaching assembly 410 attaches tape to the transverse edges of the first upper cover and the second upper cover, and the second lower tape attaching assembly 420 attaches tape to the transverse edges of the first lower cover and the second lower cover, when the trigger signals from the fifth pressure sensor and the sixth pressure sensor are not received, the upper brush assembly 210 is controlled to brush the tape attached to the transverse edges of the first upper cover and the second upper cover based on the first packaging box size information and the tape size information, and the lower brush assembly 220 is controlled to brush the tape attached to the transverse edges of the first lower cover and the second lower cover.

[0086] Understandably, after the second upper tape attaching assembly 410 applies tape to the transverse edges of the first and second upper cover plates, and the second lower tape attaching assembly 420 applies tape to the transverse edges of the first and second lower cover plates, if the trigger signals from the fifth and sixth pressure sensors are not received, it indicates that the second tape attaching device has completed the initial tape application operation on the packaging box. At this point, refer to Figure 9 Based on the size information of the first packaging box and the size information of the tape, the upper brush assembly 210 is controlled to brush the tape attached to the horizontal edges of the first upper cover plate and the second upper cover plate, while the lower brush assembly 220 is controlled to brush the tape attached to the horizontal edges of the first lower cover plate and the second lower cover plate. This can make the tape adhere more tightly to the packaging box body, thereby effectively improving the sealing quality.
