[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment proposes a capping device for a hard disk packaging box, which is used to cap the hard disk packaging box. The solid state hard disk is placed in the packaging box in advance, and then the box cover is flipped over to cover the open opening of the packaging box, at this time, the packaging box to be pressed is formed. The capping device is used to cap the packaging box to be pressed, so that the solid state hard disk is packaged. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, the capping device for the hard disk packaging box of this embodiment mainly includes: a pad 100, a support frame 200, a cylinder 300 and a pressing block 400. The pad 100 is used to carry and limit the packaging box to be pressed together. Usually, supporting ribs are set around the periphery of the packaging box. The middle area surrounded by the supporting ribs is concave upward to form a cavity, through which the entire packaging box can be placed on the pad 100 for limiting. The support frame 200 is located on one side of the pad 100. The support frame 200 is arranged in the up and down direction to play a supporting role. The cylinder 300 is arranged on the support frame 200 and is located above the pad 100. The pressing block 400 is connected to the cylinder 300 and is moved downward by the drive of the cylinder 300 to press the packaging box on the pad 100. When the pressing operation is required, the air cylinder 300 is activated, causing the piston rod 310 to move downward. The pressing block 400 is connected to the piston rod 310 and also moves downward under the drive of the air cylinder 300, thereby pressing down the box cover below, thereby pressing the box cover tightly and connecting it to the packaging box. After the pressing is completed, the air cylinder 300 is controlled to return, causing the piston rod 310 and the pressing block 400 to return upward, making it easier to remove the pressed packaging box from the pad 100.

[0038] Furthermore, a buffer layer 500 is provided on the pad 100, located between the packaging box and the pad 100, to cushion the impact force applied to the packaging box by the pressing block 400. During the downward pressing process of the pressing block 400, the impact force applied to the packaging box is relatively large due to the relatively large impact force of the piston rod 310 of the cylinder 300. The buffer layer 500 provides a buffering effect, which can provide a certain degree of cushioning against the large impact force during the pressing process of the pressing block 400, ensuring the stability of the force applied during the pressing process and effectively preventing damage to the lid and packaging box. The lid pressing device for a hard disk packaging box of this embodiment, by providing the pad 100, closes the lid of the packaging box to be pressed, places it on the pad 100, and limits the position of the packaging box by the pad 100. By activating the air cylinder 300, the pressing block 400 moves downward under its drive, pressing the packaging box on the support platform 100 together, pressing the box lid tightly against the packaging box. Furthermore, a buffer layer 500 is provided on the support platform 100, located between the packaging box and the support platform 100, to cushion the impact force exerted on the packaging box by the pressing block 400. Thus, the box lid can be pressed tightly against the packaging box through pneumatic control, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, during mass production, pneumatic control can achieve a unified standard pressing, ensuring high product consistency and achieving standardized production.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, further, the pad 100 of this embodiment specifically includes: a base 110 and a square table 120. The base 110 is used to be placed on the operating table (desktop) to ensure the stable placement of the entire cover pressing device. The square table 120 can be a square or a rectangle. It is matched and set according to the shape of the concave cavity at the bottom of the packaging box. It can also be set to other shapes, such as a circle, etc., but the solid-state hard disk is usually a square structure, so it is matched and set to a square. The square table 120 is set on the base 110 and is located below the pressing block 400. The buffer layer 500 is set on the square table 120, and the packaging box to be pressed is used to be sleeved on the square table 120. The square table 120 is embedded in the concave cavity at the bottom of the packaging box, so that the packaging box can be easily sleeved on the square table 120. During the pressing process of the box cover, the packaging box is not easy to shift or fall off.

[0040] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, further, the buffer layer 500 of this embodiment includes a buffer airbag 510, and the buffer airbag 510 is arranged on the square table 120. The buffer airbag 510 provides buffering, which can provide a certain buffering effect on the larger impact force during the squeezing process of the pressing block 400, ensuring the stability of the force applied during the pressing process, and effectively preventing the box cover and the packaging box from being damaged. The buffer airbag 510 is compressed during the pressure process, thereby playing a buffering role, and when the cylinder 300 retracts, the buffer airbag 510 can return to its original position, and during the return process, the packaging box can be pushed out of the square table 120, so that the packaging box can be loosened on the square table 120, making it easier for the staff to remove the packaging box. It is easy to imagine that the buffer layer 500 can also use a buffer pad (such as a rubber layer), a spring pad, etc.

[0041] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the cushioning airbag 510 of this embodiment specifically includes an airbag skin layer 511. The edges of the airbag skin layer 511 are connected to the square platform 120, and together with the square platform 120, they form an inflatable space 520. The edges of the airbag skin layer 511 can be fixed to the square platform 120 by bonding, thereby forming an inflatable space 520 between the airbag skin layer 511 and the square platform 120. The inflatable space 520 is filled with a cushioning gas, which inflates the airbag skin layer 511 and provides a cushioning effect.

[0042] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, further, a compression space 121 is provided in the square platform 120 of this embodiment, and the compression space 121 is connected to the inflation space 520 through the vent 122. In the specific structure, a compression space 121 is provided inside the square platform 120. The compression space 121 is a cavity that can store buffer gas, and the compression space 121 is located below the inflation space 520. The vent 122 is arranged in the up and down directions and connects the inflation space 520 and the compression space 121. In the initial state, the buffer gas fills the entire inflation space 520 and the compression space 121, so that the buffer airbag 510 is propped up as a whole; when the pressing block 400 is pressed downward, the buffer airbag 510 is compressed, and the buffer gas is compressed into the compression space 121 as a whole. Since the compression space 121 can increase the total amount of buffer gas, the buffering during the extrusion process of the pressing block 400 will be smoother. When the box cover is pressed tightly onto the packaging box, the cylinder 300 returns to its original position and moves upward with the pressing block 400, so that the compressed gas in the compression space 121 can enter the inflation space 520 through the vent 122, thereby propping up the buffer airbag 510, so that the buffer airbag 510 can further prop up the packaging box, so that the packaging box can be loosened on the square table 120.

[0043] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, further, in this embodiment, a plurality of vent holes 122 are provided, and the plurality of vent holes 122 are arranged in the vertical direction on the surface of the square platform 120. The provision of multiple filling holes can slow down the compression process of the buffer gas during the compression process. That is, when the pressing block 400 squeezes the buffer airbag 510, the buffer gas in the filling space 520 is immediately compressed. Since the vent holes 122 can only allow part of the gas to enter the compression space 121 in a short period of time, during the impact, the compressed buffer gas in the filling space 520 squeezes the packaging box, thereby forming an extrusion force on the packaging box from below. In this way, under the combined action of the squeezing force of the pressing block 400 above and the squeezing force of the compressed buffer gas below, the box lid can be squeezed onto the protective box first. Subsequently, as the buffer gas in the filling space 520 is squeezed into the compression space 121 through the vent holes 122, the buffer airbag 510 also slowly shrinks. Finally, the packaging box is mainly supported by the square platform 120, so that the box lid is gradually compressed. In this way, a better buffering effect is achieved during the squeezing process.

[0044] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the square platform 120 of this embodiment is further provided with a plurality of first hole groups 130 and a second hole group 140. The first hole group 130 and the second hole group 140 both include a plurality of ventilation holes 122. The positions and sizes of the ventilation holes 122 of this embodiment are different, so the plurality of ventilation holes 122 are divided into two groups, namely the first hole group 130 and the second hole group 140. The first hole group 130 is distributed at the four corners of the surface of the square platform 120, and the second hole group 140 is distributed at the center of the surface of the square platform 120. By arranging vent holes 122 at different positions on the surface of the square platform 120, when the pressing block 400 squeezes the buffer airbag 510, the extrusion force applied to each position of the bottom surface of the packaging box is different. In this way, for the positions corresponding to the first hole group 130 and the second hole group 140, the buffer gas can flow quickly during the extrusion process, so that the buffering effect of the impact force here is relatively small, so that the impact force of the pressing block 400 is applied to these areas with a relatively large force, so that the box cover can be quickly pressed at the middle position and the four corner positions, thereby facilitating the box cover to be pressed tightly on the packaging box.

[0045] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, further, the aperture of the vent holes 122 in the first hole group 130 of this embodiment is larger than the aperture of the vent holes 122 in the second hole group 140. Setting different apertures makes it easier for the packaging box to be ejected during the restoration process of the cushioning airbag 510. In the specific process, after the box cover is pressed tightly on the packaging box, the cylinder 300 returns to its position and moves upward with the pressing block 400, so that the compressed gas in the compression space 121 can enter the inflation space 520 through the vent holes 122, and the vent holes 122 in the first hole group 130 are relatively large, so that the buffer gas in the compression space 121 can quickly enter the cushioning airbag 510 through the vent holes 122 in the first hole group 130, and the air intake speed there is greater than the air intake speed at the position of the second hole group 140 in the middle. At this time, at the four positions of the first hole group 130 The cushioning airbags 510 at the corners have a fast recovery speed, so the thrust exerted by the cushioning airbags 510 at the four corners of the bottom of the packaging box is relatively large, so that the four corners of the bottom of the packaging box can be quickly pushed up. Usually, after being squeezed, the four corners of the bottom of the packaging box are tightly matched with the square platform 120 through the concave cavity. Therefore, the four corners of the bottom of the packaging box are quickly pushed up first, and then the air is slowly ventilated through the vent holes 122 where the second hole group 140 in the middle is located, so that the packaging box is pushed up as a whole, which is more conducive to pushing the entire packaging box out and separating the concave cavity from the square platform 120.

[0046] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, further, the support frame 200 of this embodiment specifically includes: a support column 210, a top platform 220, and a baffle plate 230. The support column 210 is arranged on the base 110 and extends a predetermined length in the vertical direction. The top platform 220 is fixedly arranged at the top of the support column 210. The cylinder 300 is arranged on the top platform 220, and the piston rod 310 of the cylinder 300 passes through the top platform 220. The pressure block 400 is connected to the piston rod 310 and is located below the top platform 220. The upper and lower ends of the baffle plate 230 are respectively connected to the top platform 220 and the base 110, and enclose a receiving space 240. The receiving space 240 forms an open opening 241 on the side facing away from the support column 210. The square platform 120 is located in the receiving space 240. The packaging box can be placed on the square platform 120 through the open opening 241 of the receiving space 240.

[0047] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5As shown, the capping device of this embodiment further includes a foot switch 600, which is connected to the air cylinder 300 and is used to control the air cylinder 300 to press down or retract the pressing block 400. The foot switch 600 is connected to a solenoid valve, which controls the air supply to the air cylinder 300, thereby extending and retracting the piston rod 310 of the air cylinder 300. The foot switch 600 can be controlled by foot, allowing the operator to place the packaging box with both hands while the foot can control the operation, thereby improving the operability of the device.

[0048] In summary, the present application provides a capping device for a hard disk packaging box. By providing a pad, the packaging box to be pressed is closed and placed on the pad, with the pad being used to limit the position. By activating the air cylinder, the pressing block is driven downward by the cylinder to press the packaging box on the pad, so that the lid is pressed tightly against the packaging box. A buffer layer is provided on the pad, located between the packaging box and the pad, to cushion the impact force applied to the packaging box by the pressing block. Thus, the lid can be pressed tightly against the packaging box through pneumatic control, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, during mass production, pneumatic control can be used to achieve unified standard pressing, ensuring good consistency of shipped products and achieving standardized production.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application.
