Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a packaging method for electronic products and packaging equipment used in the packaging method, belonging to the technical field of packaging methods and packaging equipment for electronic products. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of many electronic products, the packaging of finished products is involved, such as mobile phones and tablet computers. After the finished products are manufactured, they must be packaged according to their categories. Individual electronic products have been packaged independently. These independently packaged products must be packaged again in inner packaging boxes according to categories and colors, and then placed in outer packaging boxes. Products of the same category must be placed in one packaging carton. Products of different categories cannot be packaged in one packaging carton. Products of the same category must have the same specifications and colors. In order to improve packaging efficiency and save manpower, it is necessary to use automated equipment and process-based packaging methods, including product classification, folding the raw cardboard of the carton to form a carton, that is, a paper box, subsequent inner packaging box packaging, outer packaging box packaging, etc. At the same time, during the entire packaging process, it is necessary to ensure that the product classification is not confused, and products of different categories cannot be packaged in one packaging carton, otherwise it is easy to cause shipping confusion.

[0003] The patent with application publication number CN 107934093 A discloses a method for packaging a smart phone, which relates to the field of electronic industry. The method for packaging a smart phone is to fit the TP after the smart phone passes the coupling test, and then to affix the waterproof label and the screw label in sequence, and finally to perform secondary packaging. In this way, the wide screen of the smart phone can be protected, which can effectively prevent the screen from being damaged during transportation. Weighing, color box labeling, pasting color box labels, and checking the color box labels and body labels can not only protect the body of the smart phone, but also facilitate the checking and testing of the mobile phone. Finally, the hot plastic sealing is performed, and then the carton processing, carton packaging, and carton label printing are performed. The packaging volume is small, but the sealing is good and the safety is good. However, this packaging method belongs to the independent packaging of a single electronic product, which is not suitable for the situation where multiple electronic products are packaged together into inner packaging boxes and outer packaging boxes after independent packaging.

After moving in the horizontal longitudinal direction, horizontal lateral direction and height, the finger 906 is located next to the double-sided adhesive tape on the cardboard 1022. The finger 906 can reach the double-sided adhesive tape on the cardboard 1022 in height. The outer tip of the finger 906 is inserted between the surface release paper of the double-sided adhesive tape and the bottom adhesive layer. At this time, the pneumatic guide block 902 rises under the action of pneumatic motion, and the clamping block 903 rises accordingly. The end of the release paper is clamped between the clamping block 903 and the finger 906, that is, the end of the release paper is clamped between the top inclined surface 904 and the bottom surface 907 of the finger 906. At this time, the tape release paper tearing actuator 9 continues to move horizontally and longitudinally to tear off the release paper of the double-sided adhesive tape longitudinally attached to the cardboard 1022. If the double-sided adhesive tape is horizontally and laterally attached to the cardboard 1022, the tape release paper tearing actuator 9 moves horizontally and laterally to tear off the release paper of the double-sided adhesive tape horizontally attached to the cardboard 1022.In this way, the release paper of the double-sided adhesive tape attached to the cardboard 1022 can be torn off by the operation of the tape release paper tearing actuator 9. When the adhesion of the double-sided adhesive tape on the cardboard 1022 is relatively large, the tape release paper tearing actuator 9 can also tear off the release paper on the double-sided adhesive tape. When the finger 906 is inserted from the end of the double-sided adhesive tape, the bottom adhesive layer of the end of the double-sided adhesive tape can be destroyed. When the finger 906 continues to move upward, the release paper at the end of the double-sided adhesive tape can be lifted up. Even if the double-sided adhesive tape has a relatively large adhesion, the release paper can be lifted up. At this time, when the finger 906 continues to move horizontally longitudinally or laterally, a whole strip of release paper can be torn off.

[0058] The second robot 11 moves the cardboard 1022 with the release paper torn off to the adjustable cardboard fixing mechanism 1002.

Fig.12 The second bending blades 1020 of the second side cylinders 1014 bend the end plate 1025 at one end of the paperboard 1022, and the first bending blade 1019 of the sixth cylinder 1018 extends to fold the end plate 1025, so that the paper box is formed. Fig.13 As shown, the upper opening of the paper box is used to place the product.

[0059] The folded paper box, i.e. the inner packaging box, is placed at the inner packaging box packaging station. The second manipulator 11 puts a group of classified electronic products 17 into the inner packaging box, and then places the inner packaging box at the outer packaging box packaging station 14. An outer packaging box 1406 is placed at the outer packaging box packaging station 14. The upper cover and lower cover feeding mechanism 13 works, and the upper cover and the lower cover (the upper cover and the lower cover have the same structure, but are placed upside down when used) are manually placed on the conveyor belt 1302. The conveyor belt 1302 transports the upper cover and the lower cover to the upper and lower cover placement rack 1305. The lifting block 1304 rises along the guide rod 1303 (the lifting block 1304 can be driven by pneumatic or other driving forms) to drive the upper and lower cover placement rack 1305 to rise. The upper and lower cover placement rack 1305 rises to the transverse conveying mechanism 1307, and the cover removal suction cup 1308 of the transverse conveying mechanism 1307 sucks the upper cover. / lower cover 1309, the transverse transport mechanism 1307 slides along the third linear slide rail 1306 to a position close to the third manipulator 15, the third manipulator 15 grabs the lower cover and places it on the bottom of the outer packaging box, and then the third manipulator 15 places the inner packaging box on the lower cover in the outer packaging box, and then the third manipulator 15 grabs the upper cover and places it on the top of the inner packaging box, closes the outer packaging box, affixes a QR code or barcode label on the outer packaging box, and then seals the outer packaging box with tape, and the weighing mechanism 1402 weighs the outer packaging box, thereby completing the classification, packing and packaging of electronic products.
