In addition, the appearance of the packaging box after lamination is smoother and brighter, with bright colors, which can increase the beauty and attractiveness of the product and increase consumers' desire to buy. Therefore, laminating technology can effectively protect the appearance of the packaging box and improve the grade and added value of the product. However, there are still some problems in the actual application of the existing packaging box laminating technology:

At the same time, since it cannot automatically adjust according to the size, shape and other information of the packaging box, waste and errors may occur during the laminating process;

[0004] Second, the existing laminating equipment may lack accurate positioning and recognition technology during the laminating process, resulting in loose fit between the laminating material and the packaging box, bubbles, wrinkles and other problems, which affect the laminating quality;

[0060] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a packaging box laminating method, system, device and medium according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that if there is substantially the same result, the method of the present application is not limited to Figure 1 The process sequence shown is limited. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown: A packaging box laminating method, comprising the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: Place the packaging box to be coated on the conveyor belt of the conveying module, set the conveying direction and conveying speed through the control module, and start the conveying module to convey the packaging box to be coated;

[0062] Among them, the conveying direction is selected according to the layout of the production line and the process flow, and the conveying speed is set according to the size, material and laminating process requirements of the packaging box.

[0063] Step 2: When the packaging box is transported to the identification and positioning module area, the size, shape and position of the packaging box are detected and identified in real time;

[0064] Among them, the recognition and positioning module can detect and identify the size, shape and position of the packaging box in real time and accurately, providing accurate input data for the subsequent laminating process. The application of this recognition and positioning module not only improves the automation level of the laminating process, but also enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the production process.

[0065] Step 3: The identification and positioning module feeds back the detected packaging box information to the control module in real time. The control module automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the laminating module according to the received packaging box information, and controls the conveying module to convey the packaging box to be laminated to the laminating area;

[0066] After receiving the packaging box information, the control module will first verify the integrity and accuracy of the data. Then, the control module will parse the data packet and extract the size, shape and position information of the packaging box. Based on this information, the control module will perform a series of calculations and analyses to determine the operating parameters that need to be adjusted for the laminating module. These parameters may include the working position, angle, temperature, pressure, etc. of the laminating module.

[0067] Step 4: The laminating module automatically adjusts the position and angle to closely fit the laminating material to the packaging box;

[0068] Among them, after the laminating module receives the position adjustment instruction sent by the control module, it will start the position adjustment mechanism. According to the instruction, the laminating module will move accurately to the specified position through the motor, cylinder and other driving devices. During the movement, the laminating module will use sensors (such as photoelectric sensors, laser ranging sensors, etc.) to monitor its position in real time to ensure the accuracy of the adjustment. In addition to position adjustment, the laminating module also needs to adjust the angle according to the shape of the packaging box. The control module will calculate the optimal laminating angle and send an angle adjustment instruction to the laminating module. The laminating module will accurately adjust its angle through the angle adjustment mechanism (such as a rotating motor, angle sensor, etc.) according to the instruction. After the position and angle adjustment are completed, the laminating module will accurately place the laminating material on the packaging box. Under the control of the control module, the laminating module will use heating, pressure and other methods to tightly fit the laminating material to the packaging box. During the laminating process, the laminating module will use sensors to monitor the laminating effect to ensure that there are no defects such as bubbles and wrinkles, so as to achieve a high-quality laminating effect.

[0069] Step 5: During the laminating process, the monitoring and alarm module monitors the entire laminating process in real time and automatically alarms when an abnormality occurs;

[0070] Among them, when the laminating module starts working, the monitoring and alarm module is also started synchronously and enters the real-time monitoring state. The monitoring and alarm module monitors the entire laminating process in real time through built-in sensors, cameras and other equipment. The monitoring content includes but is not limited to: the tension, temperature, and speed of the laminating material, the fit between the laminating material and the packaging box, and abnormal conditions such as bubbles and wrinkles during the laminating process. The monitoring and alarm module analyzes and judges the data collected in real time, and compares it with the preset normal parameter range. If any data is found to exceed or fall below the preset normal range, or if an abnormal condition is identified during the laminating process, the monitoring and alarm module will immediately trigger the alarm mechanism. The alarm methods include sound alarms, flashing lights, and displaying error messages on the display screen, so that operators can quickly detect abnormal conditions. At the same time, the monitoring and alarm module will also record the abnormal information into the system for subsequent analysis and processing.

[0071] Step 6: The package box after lamination is continuously sent out by the conveyor belt of the conveying module and enters the cutting module area. The cutting module automatically adjusts the position and angle of the cutting tool according to the size and shape information of the package box, and accurately cuts the package box after lamination;

[0072] Among them, the cutting module will automatically adjust the position and angle of the cutting tool according to the received size and shape information of the packaging box. If the packaging box is a regular shape (such as a rectangle or square), the cutting module will adjust it according to the preset cutting template; if the packaging box is a special shape, the cutting module will dynamically calculate and adjust the position and angle of the cutting tool according to the specific size and shape information received.

[0073] Step 7: The data management module collects various data in the laminating process in real time and stores them in the database;

[0074] Among them, the data management module obtains various data in the laminating process in real time by connecting to sensors, instruments and other data acquisition equipment on the laminating production line. The collected data include but are not limited to: laminating speed, temperature, pressure, amount of laminating material, size, shape, position, cutting parameters of the packaging box, etc. The frequency of data collection can be set according to actual needs to ensure the accuracy and real-time nature of the data. The collected data will be transmitted to the data management module in real time for processing and storage. The data management module stores the data in a pre-designed database. The database can use a relational database (such as MySQL, Oracle) or a non-relational database (such as MongoDB, Redis). The specific choice depends on the characteristics of the data and application requirements. When storing data, it will be organized according to a certain data structure, such as tables, documents, etc., for subsequent data query and analysis.

[0075] Step 8: The data analysis module analyzes the collected data and generates statistical information.

[0076] Among them, the data analysis module first receives the original data transmitted by the data management module, cleans the data, removes duplicate, erroneous or invalid data, ensures the quality and accuracy of the data, and performs necessary conversion and formatting on the data to meet the needs of subsequent analysis. It uses statistical analysis methods (such as descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, variance analysis, etc.) to conduct in-depth analysis of the data of the lamination process, analyze the relationship between process parameters such as lamination speed, temperature, pressure and product quality, find out the key factors affecting product quality, analyze the impact of different packaging box sizes and shapes on the lamination process and cutting process, optimize the production process, and evaluate the operating status and efficiency of the lamination equipment through time series analysis and other methods, predict possible failures or problems of the equipment, and generate a detailed statistical report based on the results of the data analysis. The statistical report should include various performance indicators of the lamination process, such as average lamination speed, temperature fluctuation range, defective product rate, etc.

[0077] In one embodiment, specifically, in step 2, the method for real-time detection and identification of the size, shape and position of the packaging box includes the following steps:

[0078] Step 1: Initialize the sensors and cameras in the recognition and positioning module;

[0079] The initialization settings of sensors and cameras include calibrating the sensors to ensure their measurement accuracy, and adjusting the camera's focus, brightness, contrast and other parameters to optimize image capture effects.

[0080] Step 2: When the packaging box enters the detection area of ​​the identification and positioning module under the drive of the conveying module, the sensor starts to work to measure the height, width and length of the packaging box;

[0081] Among them, the sensors usually include laser ranging sensors, infrared sensors, etc., which are used to measure the height, width and length of the packaging box.

[0082] Step 3: The sensor sends the collected data to the control module, which calculates the exact size of the packaging box based on the data;

[0083] Among them, the control module calculates the exact size of the packaging box based on these data through preset algorithms, which include simple mathematical operations and complex geometric calculations.

[0084] Step 4: Use a camera to capture an image of the packaging box, compare and analyze the captured image with a pre-stored standard packaging box shape database, and determine the shape of the packaging box through an image recognition algorithm;

[0085] Among them, the camera usually has functions such as automatic focus and automatic exposure adjustment to ensure that clear images can be captured under different lighting and speed conditions. In order to improve the accuracy of image recognition, the original image captured by the camera will be preprocessed. The preprocessing steps may include grayscale, binarization, noise elimination, edge detection, etc., so as to better extract the shape features of the packaging box.

[0086] Step 5: Determine the position of the packaging box on the conveyor belt by combining sensors and camera image analysis;

[0087] The sensor provides three-dimensional position information of the packaging box, while the camera provides two-dimensional image information. Combining these two data, the packaging box can be accurately located.

[0088] Step 6: Integrate the identified size, shape and position information of the packaging box into a data packet and send it to the control module.

[0089] Among them, the control module further controls other equipment such as the laminating module and the cutting module according to the data packet information to realize automated production.

[0090] In one embodiment, specifically, in step three, the operating parameters include working position and angle parameters, temperature parameters and pressure parameters of the laminating module.

[0091] Lamination temperature is a key factor affecting lamination quality. The temperature determines the melting state of hot melt adhesive or low-temperature resin, which in turn affects the diffusion ability of adhesive layer molecules to pre-coated film substrates and printed ink layers, paper, etc. The specific temperature parameters should be adjusted according to the type of lamination products and lamination equipment. For pre-coated films with PET film as the substrate, the lamination temperature is usually higher than that of BOPP film. At the same time, the thickness of the substrate will also affect the lamination temperature. The thicker the substrate, the higher the temperature required to penetrate the substrate to melt the adhesive layer. According to production experience, the lamination temperature is usually adjusted within the range of 95-115°C, but the specific temperature setting value should be determined according to the actual production situation and material characteristics;

[0092] Laminating pressure is the external condition for the pre-coating film to bond with the printed product. Appropriate pressure helps the hot melt adhesive or low-temperature resin molecules diffuse and penetrate toward the printed product, thereby improving the laminating quality. The pressure should be adjusted according to the different papers used for the printed product. The larger the paper weight, the greater the required laminating pressure. On the contrary, the smaller the paper weight, the smaller the stiffness and the easier it is to deform. Therefore, the laminating pressure needs to be appropriately reduced to avoid problems such as wrinkles. Generally speaking, the laminating pressure should be controlled within the range of 10 to 20 MPa, but this range may need to be fine-tuned according to the specific equipment and material characteristics.

[0093] In one embodiment, specifically, in step 4, the method for closely fitting the laminating material to the packaging box comprises the following steps:

[0094] Step S1, the laminating mechanism in the laminating module automatically adjusts its working position and angle according to the size and shape information of the packaging box provided by the identification and positioning module;

[0095] The laminating mechanism automatically adjusts its working position and angle according to the size and shape information of the packaging box, ensuring that the laminating mechanism can be accurately aligned with the packaging box, and in subsequent steps, the laminating material and the packaging box can be tightly fitted.

[0096] Step S2, the heating element in the coating module starts working according to a preset heating temperature to preheat the coating material;

[0097] The purpose of preheating is to make the laminating material reach appropriate softness and viscosity so as to better adhere to the surface of the packaging box in the subsequent steps.

[0098] Step S3: When the packaging box is transported to the laminating area, the laminating mechanism applies pressure to the laminating material through a pressure device, such as a roller or a pressure plate, so that the preheated laminating material is covered on the surface of the packaging box;

[0099] Among them, by applying pressure through a pressure device, the coating material will fit tightly on the packaging box due to the pressure, forming a protective film.

[0100] Step S4: During the coating process, the system monitors the temperature of the heating element and the pressure value of the pressure device in real time.

[0101] During the entire laminating process, the system will monitor the temperature of the heating element and the pressure value of the pressure device in real time to ensure that the heating temperature and pressure value remain within the preset range, thereby ensuring the close fit quality of the laminating material and the packaging box.

[0102] In one embodiment, specifically, the sensor and camera initialization settings include sensor calibration and camera focus, the sensors include photoelectric sensors, laser ranging sensors and position sensors, and the image recognition algorithm is a deep learning algorithm, such as a convolutional neural network. By using a deep learning algorithm as an image recognition algorithm, the accuracy and robustness of the system can be further improved.

[0103] In one embodiment, specifically, the control module utilizes advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence technology to continuously optimize the control strategy based on historical data and real-time feedback. By utilizing advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence technology, the control module can continuously optimize the control strategy based on historical data and real-time feedback to achieve more efficient and accurate system operation. This capability enables the system to maintain stable operation under various conditions and adapt to changing needs and environments.

[0104] In one embodiment, the coating material is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly material, such as polylactic acid or polyhydroxyalkanoate.

[0105] Polylactic acid (PLA):

[0106] Source of raw materials: Polylactic acid is obtained by chemical synthesis methods (such as direct condensation polymerization or its dimer lactide ring-opening polymerization) using L-lactic acid produced by microbial fermentation as raw material.

[0107] Features: Polylactic acid is non-toxic and non-irritating, and has good biocompatibility, bioabsorbability and biodegradability. Its anti-permeability is similar to that of polyester, and its appearance and processing performance are similar to those of polystyrene.

[0108] Application: Polylactic acid film is widely used as food packaging material due to its high transparency, high gloss and safety. In addition, it is also used in agricultural mulch, packaging film, cushioning material, adhesive, office supplies, daily necessities and electronic product shells.

[0109] Degradability: Under industrial composting, polylactic acid can be completely degraded into water and carbon dioxide, reflecting its excellent environmental performance.

[0110] Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA):

[0111] Source of raw materials: Polyhydroxyalkanoates are a type of intracellular polyester synthesized by many bacteria and have the characteristics of natural polymer biomaterials.

[0112] Characteristics: In addition to the physical and chemical properties of traditional plastics, PHA also has many excellent properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, optical activity, piezoelectricity, gas barrier properties, etc. In addition, PHA also has good gas barrier properties and hydrolytic stability.

[0113] Application: PHA has broad application prospects in biodegradable packaging materials, tissue engineering materials, sustained-release materials, electrical materials and medical materials. In particular, PHA has excellent performance in the fields of fresh food preservation packaging, appliance production, electronic products, etc.
