[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The present invention provides an automated box-sleeving machine 100, which includes a frame 10, and a tile-loading module, a packaging sheet feeding device 50, a packaging forming module, and a box-sleeving device 80 arranged on the frame 10. The tile-loading module is used to load the tiles to the box-sleeving station of the frame 10. The packaging sheet feeding device 50 is used to load the packaging sheet to the packaging forming module. The packaging forming module is used to form the packaging sheet into a package having a packaging cavity. The box-sleeving device 80 is used to move the package to the box-sleeving station and to sleeve the package on the tiles. By arranging the tile-loading module on the frame 10, the tiles can be loaded to the box-sleeving station, and the packaging sheet feeding device 50 and the packaging forming module are arranged to realize the automatic molding of the package, and the box-sleeving device 80 is arranged to sleeve the molded package on the tiles located at the box-sleeving station. The present invention can realize the automated box-sleeving operation of the tiles, reduce labor costs, and improve production efficiency.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the automatic box-covering machine 100 is used to box the western tiles. That is, the tiles are specifically western tiles. In other embodiments, the automatic box-covering machine 100 can be used to box other types of tiles, which is not limited in the present invention.

[0050] In this embodiment, the packaging sheet is specifically cardboard, and the corresponding packaging piece is a carton. In other embodiments, the packaging sheet can be a pearl cotton sheet, etc., and the corresponding packaging piece can be a box made of other materials. The present invention does not limit the materials of the packaging sheet and the packaging piece.

[0051] Specifically, the tile upper module includes a tile delivery device 20 and a fixing device 30. The tile delivery device 20 and the fixing device 30 are arranged on the frame 10. The tile delivery device 20 is arranged in the middle of the frame 10. The tile delivery device 20 is used to transport the tile to the box-mounting station. The fixing device 30 is arranged on one side of the tile delivery device 20 and is used to fix the tile. Specifically, the fixing device 30 is arranged above the tile delivery device 20.

[0052] It is understandable that the automatic boxing machine 100 in this embodiment is used to box the stacked tiles. When in use, the stacked tiles are placed on the tile delivery device 20, and the tile delivery device 20 transports the tiles to the boxing station in the frame 10, so as to facilitate the subsequent boxing operation of the tiles.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4Specifically, the tile delivery device 20 includes a conveyor belt 21. The conveyor belt 21 is installed on the frame 10, and is used to transport the tiles to the box-mounting station of the frame 10. The fixing device 30 includes a fixing seat 31, a first clamping plate 32 and a second clamping plate 33. The fixing seat 31 is fixedly arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 21. Specifically, the fixing seat 31 is arranged above the conveyor belt 21. The first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33 are respectively rotatably connected to the fixing seat 31. The first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33 are used to clamp and fix the tiles. Further, the first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33 are respectively connected to the fixing seat 31 through a push rod, and the push rod drives the first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33 to rotate relative to the fixing seat 31 to lift or lower the first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33.

[0054] It can be understood that the first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33 are respectively fixed to the hinged positions of the fixing seat 31, and the first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33 can position the western tile. Specifically, when the western tile moves on the conveyor belt 21, the first clamping plate 32 is first lowered, and when the western tile abuts against the first clamping plate 32, the second clamping plate 33 is lowered. Then, the first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33 clamp the western tile.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 5 , the automatic box-covering machine 100 also includes a lifting device 40. The lifting device 40 is arranged below the conveyor belt 21, and is used to lift or lower the tiles on the conveyor belt 21. Specifically, the lifting device 40 includes a top plate 41 and a lifting cylinder 42, and the lifting cylinder 42 is installed on the frame 10, and the lifting cylinder 42 is used to drive the top plate 41 to move up and down. In this embodiment, the number of conveyor belts 21 is two. The top plate 41 can pass through the gap between the two conveyor belts 21, so as to lift the western tiles from the conveyor belt 21. It can be understood that when the western tiles move on the conveyor belt 21, the first clamping plate 32 is put down first, and when the western tiles abut against the first clamping plate 32, the western tiles move to the box-covering station, that is, the western tiles move into place, and at this time, the top plate 41 is driven to move upward by the lifting cylinder 42, and the top plate 41 lifts the western tiles, and then puts down the second clamping plate 33, and the first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33 clamp the western tiles.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveyor belt 21 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the slatted tile is set. The first clamping plate 32 and the second clamping plate 33 clamp the two sides of the slatted tile along the extending direction of the conveyor belt 21 .

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6Further, the packaging sheet feeding device 50 includes a fixed beam 51, a traveling mechanism 52 and an adsorption mechanism 53. The fixed beam 51 is fixedly arranged above the frame 10. Two traveling mechanisms 52 are respectively arranged on the fixed beam 51 and are slidably connected to the fixed beam 51. The adsorption mechanism 53 is arranged on the traveling mechanism 52, and is used to adsorb or release the packaging sheet.

[0058] In this embodiment, the packaging sheet is cardboard, and paper bins are provided on both sides of the frame 10. The paper bins are used to place cardboard. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the cardboard is prefabricated cardboard, which is pre-cut to facilitate subsequent folding. The packaging sheet feeding device 50 is used to absorb the cardboard in the paper bin and drive the cardboard to move along the fixed beam 51.

[0059] Specifically, the walking mechanism 52 includes a walking frame 521 and a first driving mechanism 522. The walking frame 521 is slidably mounted on the fixed beam 51. The first driving mechanism 522 is used to drive the walking frame 521 to move along the fixed beam. The adsorption mechanism 53 is connected to the walking frame 521 through the second driving mechanism 523. The second driving mechanism 523 is used to drive the adsorption mechanism 53 to move up and down.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 522 includes a first gear and a first rack, the first rack is mounted on the fixed beam 51, the first gear is rotatably mounted on the traveling frame 521, and the first gear and the first rack cooperate to move the traveling frame 521 along the fixed beam 51. The second driving mechanism 523 includes a second rack and a second gear. The second rack is slidably mounted on the traveling frame 521, and the adsorption mechanism 53 is fixed to the downward end of the second rack. The second gear is rotatably mounted on the traveling frame 521, and the second gear rotates to move the second rack up and down, thereby driving the adsorption mechanism 53 to move up and down.

[0061] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 522 and the second drive mechanism 523 both achieve linear motion by meshing of gears and racks. In other embodiments, the first drive mechanism 522 and the second drive mechanism 523 can be set as other mechanisms capable of achieving linear motion, such as a ball screw, a cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. As long as linear motion in the horizontal and vertical directions is possible, the specific structure of the first drive mechanism 522 and the second drive mechanism 523 is not limited to achieve the present invention.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7The packaging forming module includes a glue dispensing device 11 and a folding device 60. The glue dispensing device 11 is arranged on one side of the packaging sheet feeding device 50. The glue dispensing device 11 can selectively dispense glue to the packaging sheet. Two folding devices 60 are respectively arranged on both sides of the box-covering station. The folding device 60 is used to fold the packaging sheet to form a package. Specifically, in this embodiment, the folding device 60 is used to fold paperboard to form a carton.

[0063] Specifically, the folding device 60 includes a first folding mechanism 61. The first folding mechanism 61 includes a plurality of folding plates 611. The folding plates 611 are fixedly arranged on the frame 10, and a folding cavity 612 is formed between the folding plates 611. When the packaging sheet feeding device 50 drives the packaging sheet to move into the folding cavity 612, the folding plates 611 fold the paperboard to form a package. Specifically, in this embodiment, the adsorption mechanism 53 drives the paperboard to move into the folding cavity 612, and the folding plates 611 fold the paperboard to form a carton.

[0064] Please combine Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 Specifically, in this embodiment, the paperboard is pre-cut and provided with folds. The paperboard includes a bottom plate 201, a first side plate 202 and a second side plate 203 connected to the bottom plate 201, and a lap plate 204 connected to both ends of the second side plate 203. The folding plate 611 includes a first molding plate 6111, a second molding plate 6112, and a third molding plate 6113. The first molding plate 6111 is used to fold the lap plate 204 inward. The second molding plate 6112 is used to fold the first side plate 202. The third molding plate 6113 is used to fold the second side plate 203. Among them, the first molding plate 6111 is higher than the second molding plate 6112 and the third molding plate 6113. The second molding plate 6112 and the third molding plate 6113 are located at the same height and surround to form a folding cavity 612. Since the first molding plate 6111 is higher than the second molding plate 6112 and the third molding plate 6113, the first molding plate 6111 first folds the lap plate 204 upward. Then, the second forming plate 6112 and the third forming plate 6113 fold the first side plate 202 and the second side plate 203 upwards respectively, and at this time, the second side plate 203 drives the lap plate 204 to move to the inner side of the first side plate 202. Since glue is applied to the paperboard in advance, the lap plate 204 is bonded to the first side plate 202 to complete the forming of the carton.

[0065] Further, the folding mechanism also includes a second folding mechanism 62. The second folding mechanism 62 is located at one side of the first folding mechanism 61. The second folding mechanism 62 includes a pair of push plates 621 arranged opposite to each other. The push plates 621 can move closer to or farther away from each other. It can be understood that the first folding mechanism 61 is used for the preliminary forming of the carton. When the carton is formed under the action of the first folding mechanism 61, the internal lap plate 204 is not completely fixed. When the carton continues to move to the second folding mechanism 62, the push plate 621 extends into the interior of the carton. The two push plates 621 move away from each other, thereby fixing the lap plate 204 on the inner wall of the carton, further completing the carton forming.

[0066] It should be noted that the above-mentioned molding method is applicable to glue-coated paperboard, and the glue-coated lap plate 204 is directly attached to the inner wall of the carton under the action of the push plate 621 to complete the fixation. Further, in this embodiment, the automatic box-covering machine 100 also includes a glue dispensing device 11. The glue dispensing device 11 is arranged on one side of the packaging sheet feeding device 50, and is used to dispense glue to the paperboard. The glue dispensing device 11 is used to dispense glue to the lap plate 204 and / or the first side plate 202 of the paperboard before the paperboard is formed, so that the lap plate 204 can be bonded to the first side plate 202 during the forming process.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 7 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 , the folding device 60 in this embodiment is not only applicable to glued paperboard, but also to un-glueed paperboard. The un-glueed paperboard includes a bottom plate 201, a first side plate 202 and a second side plate 203 connected to the bottom plate 201, a lap plate 204 connected to both sides of the first side plate 202, and a pressing plate 205 connected to one side of the second side plate 203. Specifically, the first molding plate 6111 is used to fold the lap plate 204 inward. The second molding plate 6112 is used to fold the first side plate 202. The third molding plate 6113 is used to fold the second side plate 203. Among them, the first molding plate 6111 is higher than the second molding plate 6112 and the third molding plate 6113. The second molding plate 6112 and the third molding plate 6113 are located at the same height and surround to form a folding cavity 612. Since the first molding plate 6111 is higher than the second molding plate 6112 and the third molding plate 6113, the first molding plate 6111 first folds the lap plate 204 upward. Then, the second forming plate 6112 and the third forming plate 6113 fold the first side panel 202 and the second side panel 203 upwards respectively. At this time, the first side panel 202 drives the overlapping plate 204 to move to the inner side of the second side panel 203, and the second side panel 203 drives the pressing plate 205 to fold upwards, and the second side panel 203 and the pressing plate 205 are located in the same plane, that is, the second side panel 203 and the pressing plate 205 rotate and fold synchronously to complete the preliminary folding of the carton.

[0068] It is understood that when the uncoated cardboard completes the folding process in the first folding mechanism 61, the pressing plate 205 is still upright. At this time, the cardboard needs to be moved to the second folding mechanism 62, and the pressing plate 205 is turned into the carton by the push plate 621, so that the lap plate 204 is pressed against the second side plate 203. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the push plate 621 is first located on the outside of the carton, and the push plates 621 on both sides are close to each other, pressing the pressing plate 205 inwardly. The carton moves up and down to move relative to the push plate 621, and the push plate 621 presses the pressing plate 205 downward, and the two push plates 621 are away from each other. Under the action of the push plate 621, the pressing plate 205 is folded into the inside of the carton, thereby pressing the lap plate 204. It is understood that when the uncoated cardboard is folded, the lap plate 204 is located between the second side plate 203 and the pressing plate 205. When the second folding mechanism 62 is suitable for uncoated cardboard, it needs to be implemented in conjunction with the up and down movement of the carton.

[0069] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the lap plate 204 is located inside the carton after folding, please refer to Figure 8 On the glued paperboard, in the width direction of the paperboard, the distance between the folds of the second side plate 203 and the lap plates 204 on both sides is smaller than the distance between the folds of the bottom plate 201 and the first side plates 202 on both sides. Fig.11 On the uncoated cardboard, in the length direction of the cardboard, the distance between the folds of the first side panel 202 and the lap panels 204 on both sides is smaller than the distance between the folds of the bottom panel 201 and the second side panels 203 on both sides.

[0070] Further, in this embodiment, the automatic box-setter 100 also includes a control device (not shown). The control device is connected to the packaging forming module control, and is used to control the forming module to selectively execute one of the multiple forming modes according to the forming mode signal. For example, in this embodiment, the forming mode includes a first forming mode and a second forming mode. Among them, the first forming mode is to fold the packaging sheet into a package only by the folding device 60, that is, to fold the cardboard into a carton only by the folding device 60, corresponding to the folding method of the above-mentioned non-glued cardboard. The second forming mode folds the packaging sheet into a package by the folding device 60 and the glue dispensing device 11 at the same time, that is, to fold the cardboard into a carton by the folding device 60 and the glue dispensing device 11 at the same time, corresponding to the folding method of the above-mentioned glued cardboard. Of course, in other embodiments, the forming mode can also include a third forming mode, which is also to fold the cardboard into a carton by the folding device 60 and the glue dispensing device 11 at the same time. The difference from the second forming mode is that the glue dispensing device 11 can also be applied to the cardboard with the pressing plate 205, that is, the glue application operation is performed on the above-mentioned non-glued cardboard. The packaging forming module provided by the present invention has a variety of box forming methods and is applicable to different paperboards.

[0071] Furthermore, the automatic box-wrapping machine 100 further includes a mode signal input device (not shown). The mode signal input device is connected to the control device and is used to generate a molding mode signal. Specifically, the mode signal input device can be a mode selection button, a touch screen, or other device, which is convenient for the operator to select a specific packaging molding mode.

[0072] Please refer to Fig.13 In this embodiment, the automatic box-folding machine 100 further includes a conveying device 70. The conveying device 70 is arranged below the folding device 60. The conveying device 70 includes a horizontal moving mechanism 71 and a lifting mechanism 72. The horizontal moving mechanism 71 is used to drive the lifting mechanism 72 to move from the first folding mechanism 61 to the second folding mechanism 62. The lifting mechanism 72 is used to absorb and drive the carton to move up and down. Specifically, the horizontal moving mechanism 71 includes a slide rail and a moving frame 73. The moving frame 73 moves along the slide rail under the action of the cylinder. The moving frame 73 includes a platform. A paper suction piece is provided on the platform for absorbing the carton. The lifting mechanism 72 is used to drive the platform to move up and down to drive the carton to move.

[0073] Furthermore, the horizontal moving mechanism 71 also includes a box-pushing plate. The box-pushing plate is used to push the carton to move. It can be understood that when the paper suction member moves the initially formed carton to the second folding mechanism 62, the box-pushing plate pushes the carton formed by the second folding mechanism 62 to the device of the next box-folding process, that is, the box-folding device 80. The mobile frame 73 continuously reciprocates in a straight line to realize the operation of folding the carton in a cycle.

[0074] Please refer to Fig.14 , the box-covering device 80 includes a box-connecting mechanism 81 and a box-covering mechanism 82. The box-connecting mechanism 81 includes a box-connecting plate 811 arranged opposite to each other. The box-connecting plate 811 is used to clamp the formed carton. The box-covering mechanism 82 includes a flipping drive 821 and a horizontal pusher 822. The flipping drive 821 is used to drive the carton to flip so that the opening of the carton faces Xiwa. The horizontal pusher 822 is used to drive the carton to move toward Xiwa. It can be understood that the box-pushing plate of the conveying device 70 pushes the formed carton to the box-connecting plate 811. After completion, the mobile frame 73 can retreat. Specifically, the box-covering mechanism 82 includes a box-covering body 823 and a box-covering suction cup 824 installed on the box-covering body 823. The flipping drive 821 is used to drive the box-covering body 823 to rotate so that the box-covering suction cup 824 faces upward or toward Xiwa.

[0075] For further information, please refer to Fig.15, an upper adsorption device 83 is also arranged above the box receiving mechanism 81. The upper adsorption device 83 is arranged opposite to the box sleeve mechanism 82, and is used to drive the carton to move up and down. The upper adsorption device 83 includes a first lifting cylinder 831, a second lifting cylinder 832 and a suction cup connected in sequence. When the formed carton moves to the box receiving mechanism 81, the second lifting cylinder 832 drives the suction cup to move downward and adsorb the carton. The box receiving plates 811 move away from each other and release the carton. The flip driving member 821 drives the box sleeve suction cup 824 to be arranged upward. The first lifting cylinder 831 drives the carton to continue to move downward, and the box sleeve suction cup 824 adsorbs the carton. The upper adsorption device 83 releases the carton. The flip driving member 821 drives the box sleeve suction cup 824 toward the west tile, thereby flipping the opening of the carton toward the west tile. The horizontal driving member drives the carton to move toward the west tile, and is sleeved on both sides of the west tile to complete the box sleeve of the west tile.

[0076] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the folding device 60 and the box-covering device 80 are symmetrically arranged relative to the west tile box-covering station to complete the box-covering on both sides of the west tile.

[0077] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a control method applied to the above-mentioned automatic box-covering machine 100, and the control method includes:
