[0046] The winding mechanism 3 further includes: a fixed frame 304. Fixed frames 304 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the four U-shaped frames 202. A plugging plate B305 is slidably connected in the fixed frame 304. Fifth elastic members are provided between both sides of the plugging plate B305 and the fixed frame 304.

A cross bar 306 is fixedly connected to one side of the plugging plate B305. A lever 307 used in cooperation with the cross bar 306 is provided on the lower side of the rectangular frame A205.

[0047] The winding mechanism 3 further includes: a U-shaped rod 308. A U-shaped rod 308 is slidably connected to the rectangular frame A205. Slide shafts 309 are symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the horizontal plate 210. V-shaped grooves used in cooperation with the slide shafts 309 are symmetrically provided on the U-shaped rod 308. Elastic telescopic rods C310 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped rod 308.

An inclined surface is provided at the bottom end of the elastic locking block 311. The elastic locking block 311 is used to limit the position of the elastic telescopic rod C310. Locking grooves used in cooperation with the elastic locking block 311 are provided on the telescopic ends of the elastic telescopic rods C310.

[0048] Initially, the clamping plate 201 is in an inclined state, the first elastic member is in a released state, and the solenoid valve A217 is in a closed state. When it is necessary to clamp and package the sofa, the robotic arm 1 and the air pump 213 are started. The air pump 213 transports air through the U-shaped pipe 214 and the four air delivery hoses A215 to the inner cavity of the elastic telescopic rod A220. The telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod A220 extends, so that the clamping block 221 on the elastic telescopic rod A220 and the bottom center line of the rectangular frame A205 are in the same vertical plane. Since the solenoid valve A217 is in a closed state at this time, the air generated by the air pump 213 cannot enter the inner cavity of the elastic telescopic rod B219, and the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod B219 will not move. The robotic arm 1 drives the clamping plate 201 and the U-shaped frame 202 to move to the sofa through the rectangular frame A205. At this time, the clamping plate 201 is located on one side of the sofa, the U-shaped frame 202 is located outside the sofa, and the rectangular frame A205 is located above the sofa. The corner of the clamping block 221 is at the same horizontal plane as the bottom surface of the sofa. The electric push rod 206 is started, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 206 extends to drive the rectangular frame B207 to move horizontally. The rectangular frame B207 squeezes the inner wall of the guide frame 209, causing the guide frame 209 to rotate around the connection of the U-shaped frame 208. The guide frame 209 drives the clamping plate 201 to swing and push the side of the sofa, so that the sofa moves to the side close to the elastic telescopic rod A220. It should be noted that the sofa has two states. One is that the two long side surfaces of the sofa are in a flat state, and the other is that the two long side surfaces of the sofa are in a curved state. Among them, when the two long side surfaces of the sofa are flat, during the process of the clamping plate 201 pushing the sofa, the sofa comes into contact with the clamping blocks 221 on the four elastic telescopic rods A220 after moving. At this time, the rollers on the clamping blocks 221 can reduce the friction between the clamping blocks 221 and the sofa, thereby preventing the sofa from being damaged. When the sofa fits with the vertical plane of the clamping block 221, the sofa squeezes the clamping block 221, and then the four U-shaped frames 202 slide horizontally synchronously;When the two long side surfaces of the sofa are in a curved state, the clamping plate 201 contacts the curved part of the sofa when pushing the sofa. Since the side surface of the sofa is in a curved state, the contact times between the sofa and the clamping block 221 on the elastic telescopic rod A220 are different after the sofa moves. And after the clamping block 221 contacts the side surface of the sofa, it first rotates around the connection of the elastic telescopic rod A220, and then drives the corresponding U-shaped frame 202 to move. At this time, the third elastic member between the clamping block 221 and the elastic telescopic rod A220 is stressed and contracts, so that the clamping block 221 can fit the surface of the sofa, thereby stably clamping the sofa. At this time, the moving distances of the four U-shaped frames 202 are different, and the moving distances of the four U-shaped frames 202 driving the elastic telescopic rod B219 are also different. Open the solenoid valve A217, so that the air in the U-shaped pipe 214 can enter the four air delivery hoses B216 and enter the inner cavity of the elastic telescopic rod B219, so that the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod B219 drives the clamping block 221 on it to move. After the clamping block 221 moves, it fits the other side of the sofa and rotates around the connection of the elastic telescopic rod B219. The third elastic member between the clamping block 221 and the elastic telescopic rod B219 contracts. At this time, the elastic telescopic rod B219 and the elastic telescopic rod A220 drive the clamping blocks 221 on them to clamp the sofa respectively. Through the above steps, sofas of different shapes can be adapted to achieve stable clamping.;

[0049] When the four U-shaped frames 202 slide horizontally, the limiting grooves on them extrude the inclined surfaces of the corresponding elastic wedge blocks 212. Due to the large elastic force of the second elastic member, the cross plate 210 will not move. At this time, the elastic wedge blocks 212 are stressed and continuously contract and slide upward until the four U-shaped frames 202 stop sliding horizontally. The elastic wedge blocks 212 are released and respectively snap into several limiting grooves of the four U-shaped frames 202 to limit the four U-shaped frames 202 and make the four U-shaped frames 202 stop moving. Then the telescopic end of the electric push rod 206 contracts and resets, so that the clamping plate 201 swings and resets away from the sofa, facilitating subsequent work.

[0050] Embodiment 2

[0051] As Figure 1-Figure 11As shown in the figure, the driving mechanism 4 includes: a gantry guide rail 401, the gantry guide rail 401 is installed at the bottom of the rectangular frame A205, the sliding shaft 204 is snapped into the gantry guide rail 401 and slides within the gantry guide rail 401. A guide wheel 402 is rotatably connected to one side of the sliding shaft 204 through a support plate. The guide wheel 402 is snapped into the flexible rail 203 and slides within the flexible rail 203. The guide wheel 402 can drive the sliding shaft 204 to rotate according to the shape of the flexible rail 203. The bottom of the sliding shaft 204 is rotatably connected to an adapter plate 404. The trapezoidal block 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adapter plate 404. The lever 307 is rotatably connected to the top of the adapter plate 404. A sixth elastic member is provided between the lever 307 and the adapter plate 404. The sixth elastic member is a torsion spring. A slide rail 403 is installed at the bottom of the rectangular frame A205. A vertical rod 405 that cooperates with the elastic telescopic rod C310 is slidably connected within the slide rail 403. The adapter plate 404 is slidably connected to the vertical rod 405. An electromagnetic valve B406 is installed on the U-shaped pipe 214.

[0052] The winding mechanism 3 further includes: a film winder 100, and the film winder 100 is installed at the bottom of the sliding shaft 204.

[0053] Initially, the solenoid valve B406 is in the closed state. When the four U-shaped frames 202 move, they drive the flexible rail 203 to change its shape, making the trajectory of the flexible rail 203 consistent with the curve of the sofa. Then, the gantry guide rail 401 is started, and the gantry guide rail 401 drives the sliding shaft 204 to slide leftward along the flexible rail 203. The sliding shaft 204 drives the guide wheel 402, the connecting plate 404 and the film winding machine 100 to move. It should be noted that the inner ring surface of the film winding machine 100 is much larger than the vertical cross-section of the sofa. The guide wheel 402 can drive the sliding shaft 204 to rotate by contacting the inner wall of the flexible rail 203, and then the sliding shaft 204 drives the film winding machine 100 to rotate, making the orientation of the film winding machine 100 consistent with the curve of the sofa to prevent the film winding machine 100 from colliding with the surface of the sofa. When the connecting plate 404 moves, it drives the trapezoidal block 303 to move horizontally through the vertical rod 405. When the trapezoidal block 303 moves, it contacts and presses against the protruding shaft on the right-side blocking plate A302. The protruding shaft slides along the inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 303 under the extrusion and drives the blocking plate A302 to slide. The fourth elastic member between the blocking plate A302 and the exhaust pipe 301 is stressed and extends. When the protruding shaft on the blocking plate A302 contacts the horizontal plane of the trapezoidal block 303, the blocking plate A302 slides to completely withdraw from the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 301, no longer blocks the exhaust pipe 301, and allows the gas in the inner cavity of the corresponding elastic telescopic rod A220 to be discharged through the exhaust pipe 301. It should be noted that the exhaust speed of the exhaust pipe 301 is much greater than the speed at which the air generated by the air pump 213 enters the inner cavity of the elastic telescopic rod A220. The telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod A220 contracts and resets, and the elastic telescopic rod A220 drives the clamping block 221 on it to move away from the sofa, so that the right-side elastic telescopic rod A220 avoids the film winding machine 100. At the same time, the connecting plate 404 drives the lever 307 to contact and press against the nearest cross bar 306. Since the elastic force of the sixth elastic member is greater than that of the fifth elastic member, at this time, the cross bar 306 is stressed and drives the corresponding blocking plate B305 to slide horizontally. When the blocking plate B305 slides, it makes the fifth elastic member extend or contract. After the blocking plate B305 slides, it no longer blocks the through hole of the corresponding U-shaped frame 202. At this time, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod B219 drives the clamping block 221 on it to reset and move away from the sofa. The air in the inner cavity of the elastic telescopic rod B219 enters the cavity of the U-shaped frame 202 through the L-shaped pipe 218 and is discharged through the through hole, so that the right-side elastic telescopic rod B219 avoids the film winding machine 100. The remaining elastic telescopic rods B219 and the elastic telescopic rods A220 respectively drive the clamping blocks 221 on them to stably clamp the sofa. After the connecting plate 404 continues to move, it drives the trapezoidal block 303 away from the protruding shaft on the blocking plate A302. After the protruding shaft is released from the restriction, the blocking plate A302 can slide. The fourth elastic member contracts and drives the blocking plate A302 to slide back to its original position, and the blocking plate A302 blocks the exhaust pipe 301 again. At this time, the air generated by the air pump 213 accumulates again in the inner cavity of the elastic telescopic rod A220.Furthermore, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod A220 drives the clamping block 221 thereon to clamp the sofa. At the same time, the fifth elastic member contracts to the limit, so that the cross bar 306 and the plugging plate B305 cannot move. At this time, the cross bar 306 applies a force to the lever 307 to make the lever 307 rotate around the connection point of the connecting plate 404. The sixth elastic member between the lever 307 and the connecting plate 404 is stressed and contracts. After the lever 307 rotates, it no longer contacts and crosses the cross bar 306, so that the cross bar 306 can move. The fifth elastic member releases or contracts and resets to drive the plugging plate B305 to slide and reset. After the plugging plate B305 slides, it covers the through hole of the corresponding U-shaped frame 202 again. The air generated by the air pump 213 accumulates again in the inner cavity of the elastic telescopic rod B219. Furthermore, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod B219 drives the clamping block 221 thereon to clamp the sofa. At this time, the film wrapping machine 100 has passed over the rightmost elastic telescopic rod B219 and the elastic telescopic rod A220. After the connecting plate 404 continues to move, the remaining elastic telescopic rods B219 and the elastic telescopic rod A220 achieve the above effects until the film wrapping machine 100 passes over the leftmost elastic telescopic rod B219 and the elastic telescopic rod A220. At this time, the film wrapping machine 100 has completed the film wrapping work on the sofa, and the vertical rod 405 contacts and presses against the telescopic end of the left elastic telescopic rod C310. The telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod C310 presses against the inclined surface of the elastic locking block 311. Due to the large elastic force of the elastic locking block 311, the elastic locking block 311 will not脱离 the locking groove of the elastic telescopic rod C310. Furthermore, the elastic telescopic rod C310 drives the U-shaped rod 308 to slide. The V-shaped groove on the U-shaped rod 308 presses against the two sliding shafts 309, so that the two sliding shafts 309 drive the cross plate 210 to lift upward. At this time, the second elastic member between the cross plate 210 and the guide post 211 is stressed and contracts. The cross plate 210 drives the four elastic wedge blocks 212 away from the limiting grooves of the four U-shaped frames 202. The first elastic member contracts to drive the four U-shaped frames 202 to reset. At the same time, the air pump 213 is closed and the solenoid valve B406 is opened. Furthermore, the air in the inner cavities of the elastic telescopic rod B219 and the elastic telescopic rod A220 is discharged. The elastic telescopic rod B219 and the elastic telescopic rod A220 drive the clamping blocks 221 thereon to reset respectively. When the side wall of the U-shaped rod 308 contacts the rectangular frame A205, the U-shaped rod 308 cannot move any further. At this time, the extrusion force applied by the elastic telescopic rod C310 to the elastic locking block 311 is greater than the elastic force of the elastic locking block 311. The elastic locking block 311 is stressed and contracts to脱离 the locking groove of the elastic telescopic rod C310 and contacts the surface of the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod C310. Furthermore, the U-shaped rod 308 can move. At this time, the second elastic member releases to drive the cross plate 210 to descend. The cross plate 210 drives the two sliding shafts 309 to descend. The two sliding shafts 309 press against the V-shaped groove on the U-shaped rod 308. Furthermore, the U-shaped rod 308 slides and resets. At this time, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod C310 is blocked by the vertical rod 405 and cannot move.The telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod C310 is retracted again, thereby completing the clamping and packaging work of the sofa.

[0054] When the sofa needs to be packaged and clamped again, the gantry guide rail 401 is started to drive the sliding shaft 204 to move to the left to continue to achieve the same effect as the above steps.

[0055] The above embodiments only express the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several modifications, improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent shall be subject to the attached claims.
