In the embodiment, the first rotary mounting base 232 is drivingly connected to the output end of the second rotary driver 231 through a crank linkage assembly plus a synchronous belt transmission structure, which is a conventional technical means familiar to those skilled in the art, and thus will not be described in detail herein.

The top of the first pressing plate 235 is bent to form a first pressing protrusion 2351. The first pressing protrusion 2351 can extend to the right or retract into the second rotary baffle 234. Then, the second rotary driver 231 drives the first rotary mounting base 232 to drive the second rotary baffle 234 to flip to the right side from the position above the left side edge of the bearing plate 111. The second rotary baffle 234 pushes the left inner tongue 209 to the right and down to the right side of the left front side ear 212. The eighth linear driver 233 drives the first pressing plate 235 to press the left inner tongue 209 to be tightly pressed against the right side of the left front side ear 212, thereby further strengthening the folding of the left inner tongue 209 in place, as shown in the F state diagram in FIG. 8. Figure 1 Figure 9
[0047] Furthermore, the right inner tongue folding mechanism 24 comprises a third rotary driver 241, a second rotary mounting base 242, a ninth linear driver 243, a third rotary baffle 244 and a second pressing plate 245.

The second rotary mounting base 242 is drivingly connected to the output end of the third rotary driver 241. In this embodiment, the second rotary mounting base 242 is drivingly connected to the output end of the third rotary driver 241 through a crank linkage assembly plus a synchronous belt transmission structure, which is a conventional technical means familiar to those skilled in the art, and thus will not be described in detail herein.

The top of the second pressing plate 245 is bent to form a second pressing protrusion 2451. The second pressing protrusion 2451 can extend leftward or retract into the third rotary baffle 244. Then, the third rotary driver 241 drives the second rotary mounting base 242 to rotate about the sixth axis line to the left to drive the third rotary baffle 244 to rotate to the left, which in turn pushes the right inner tongue 211 to fold to the left below the left side of the right front side ear 213. Then, the ninth linear driver 243 drives the second pressing plate 245 to press the right inner tongue 211 to be tightly pressed against the left side of the right front side ear 213, which further enhances the folding of the right inner tongue 211 in place, as shown in the F state diagram in FIG. 8.

The rotating seat 252 has an upper connecting end (not shown in the figure), a pivot part (not shown in the figure), and a lower connecting end (not shown in the figure) sequentially formed. The pivot part is pivotally connected to the first rotating baffle 222 around a third axis. The driving end of the tenth linear actuator 251 is pivotally connected to the lower connecting end around a fourth axis. The second, third, and fourth axes are all arranged in the left-right direction. The fourth rotating baffle 253 is fixedly connected to the upper connecting end and is arranged in the left-right direction. Therefore, when the first rotary actuator 221 drives the first rotating baffle 222 from... Figure 1 Rotate upwards 90° from the horizontal position shown. Figure 4 In the vertical position shown, the upper flat tongue folding mechanism 25 also rotates upward by 90° along with the first rotating baffle 222, that is, the fourth rotating baffle 253 rotates synchronously with the first rotating baffle 222 to the vertical position, and the upper flat tongue 214 also rotates with the front box surface 203 to the vertical position. Figure 9 The vertical state shown in the E and F state diagrams is then driven by the tenth linear actuator 251 to rotate the rotating seat 252, which in turn drives the fourth rotating baffle 253 from the vertical state to the horizontal state. Figures 4 to 7 The horizontal position shown indicates that the upper flat tongue 214 is pushed and rotated by the fourth rotating baffle 253 to the horizontal position. Figure 9 The horizontal state shown in the G state diagram.

The fourth rotary driver 311 can be a motor, but is not limited thereto. The fourth rotary driver 311 is fixed to the seventh guide baffle 192. The fifth rotary baffle 312 is pivotally connected to the seventh guide baffle 192 about a seventh axis line. The seventh axis line is arranged along the left-right direction. The fifth rotary baffle 312 is drivingly connected to the output end of the fourth rotary driver 311. The seventh axis line is located at the top side of the seventh guide baffle 192. In the present embodiment, the fifth rotary baffle 312 is drivingly connected to the output end of the fourth rotary driver 311 through a transmission structure of a crank linkage assembly, which is a conventional technical means known to those skilled in the art, and thus will not be described in detail herein. The third suction cups 313 are fixed to the fifth rotary baffle 312 and exposed upward on the fifth rotary baffle 312. The third suction cups 313 are connected to an external vacuum device, so that the third suction cups 313 can generate negative pressure to play a role of vacuum adsorption, and the box cover 202 is adsorbed and fixed by the third suction cups 313. Then, the fourth rotary driver 311 drives the fifth rotary baffle 312 to rotate forward, and the box cover 202 is pushed forward by the fifth rotary baffle 312 to fold forward to the inclined state shown in the middle H state diagram, waiting for the folding of the inner ear 215. Figure 9
[0050] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 In the embodiment, the cover closing device further comprises an ear folding mechanism 32 and a pressing insertion mechanism 33. The ear folding mechanism 32 comprises a tenth linear actuator 321, a connecting seat 322 and an eighth guide baffle 323. The tenth linear actuator 321 can be a cylinder, but is not limited to this. The tenth linear actuator 321 is fixed to the first rotating baffle 222 and is perpendicular to the first rotating baffle 222. The connecting seat 322 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the tenth linear actuator 321. The eighth guide baffle 323 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 322 and is arranged in the left-right direction. The eighth guide baffle 323 is driven by the tenth linear actuator 321 to reciprocate in the direction perpendicular to the first rotating baffle 222. Furthermore, the pressing insertion mechanism 33 comprises a twelfth linear actuator 331 and a ninth guide baffle 332. The twelfth linear actuator 331 can be a cylinder, but is not limited to this. The twelfth linear actuator 331 is fixed to the connecting seat 322 and is parallel to the tenth linear actuator 321. The ninth guide baffle 332 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the twelfth linear actuator 331 and is arranged in the left-right direction. The ninth guide baffle 332 is driven by the twelfth linear actuator 331 to reciprocate in the direction parallel to the eighth guide baffle 323. When the first rotating baffle 222 is driven by the first rotating driver 221 to rotate 90° upward from the horizontal state shown in FIG. 16A to the vertical state shown in FIG. 16B, the ear folding mechanism 32 and the pressing insertion mechanism 33 rotate 90° upward along with the first rotating baffle 222, that is, the eighth guide baffle 323 and the ninth guide baffle 332 rotate synchronously with the first rotating baffle 222 to the vertical state shown in FIG. 16B. The eighth guide baffle 323 is located above the front side of the bearing plate 111 and the ninth guide baffle 332 is located above the eighth guide baffle 323. When the fifth rotating baffle 312 pushes the box cover 202 to fold forward to the inclined state shown in FIG. 16C (at this time, the ear 215 is located directly below the eighth guide baffle 323), the box cover 202 is adsorbed and fixed by the third suction cup 313 to prevent the box cover 202 from falling downward. The tenth linear actuator 321 drives the eighth guide baffle 323 to move vertically downward. The eighth guide baffle 323 pushes the ear 215 to fold downward to be perpendicular to the box cover 202. The fifth rotating baffle 312 continues to push the box cover 202 to fold forward. When the box cover 202 is folded to be directly below the ninth guide baffle 332, the twelfth linear actuator 331 drives the ninth guide baffle 332 to move vertically downward. The ninth guide baffle 332 pushes the connection between the box cover 202 and the ear 215 to push the ear 215 to be inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 216 until the packaging box 200 is closed as shown in FIG. 16D. Figure 1 Figure 4 Figures 4 to 7 Figure 9 Figure 9 The three-dimensional cover closing state shown in the middle J state diagram.
[0051] The working principle of the folding box cover closing device 100 of the present application is described in detail in combination with the drawings:
[0052] When the right side edge of the first guide baffle 132 moves flush with the right side of the left limiting guide plate 12a, and the left side edge of the first guide baffle 132 moves flush with the left side of the right limiting guide plate 12b, the left lower pad surface 207 is pushed up by the first guide baffle 132 to the vertical state, and the right lower pad surface 208 is pushed up by the second guide baffle 142 to the vertical state. Figure 8 The folding box 200 in the planar unfolded state shown in the figure is carried by an external handling robot to the area between the left limiting guide plate 12a and the right limiting guide plate 12b by aligning the box bottom 201 and pushing it down to fall onto the bearing plate 111. During the downward movement of the folding box 200 in the planar unfolded state, the first guide baffle 132 pushes the left lower pad surface 207 to fold up to the vertical state, and the second guide baffle 142 pushes the right lower pad surface 208 to fold up to the vertical state. When the box bottom 201 falls onto the bearing plate 111 and is adsorbed by the first suction cup 112, the left lower pad surface 207 is maintained in the vertical state by the first fixed baffle 133, and the right lower pad surface 208 is maintained in the vertical state by the second fixed baffle 143, so that the left lower pad surface 207 and the right lower pad surface 208 are folded up to the state shown in the middle A state diagram. Figure 9 The middle A state diagram.
[0053] Then, the left box surface folding mechanism 15 and the right box surface folding mechanism 16 are used for folding, that is, when the third guide baffle 152 is driven by the third linear actuator 151 to move vertically upward and extend out of the base plate 10, the third guide baffle 152 can push the left box surface 205 to fold up; when the fourth guide baffle 162 is driven by the fourth linear actuator 161 to move vertically upward and extend out of the base plate 10, the fourth guide baffle 162 can push the right box surface 206 to fold up, so that the left box surface 205 and the right box surface 206 are folded up to the state shown in the middle B state diagram. Figure 9 The middle B state diagram.
[0054] At the same time, during the downward movement of the folding box 200 in the planar unfolded state, the left front ear folding mechanism 17 and the right front ear folding mechanism 18 are used for folding, that is, the fifth guide baffle 172 is driven by the fifth linear actuator 171 to move flush with the right side of the left limiting guide plate 12a, and the sixth guide baffle 182 is driven by the sixth linear actuator 181 to move flush with the left side of the right limiting guide plate 12b, so that the fifth guide baffle 172 pushes the left front ear 212 to fold up to the vertical state, and the sixth guide baffle 182 pushes the right front ear 213 to fold up to the vertical state, so that the left front ear 212 and the right front ear 213 are folded up to the state shown in the middle C state diagram. Figure 9 The middle C state diagram.
[0055] Then, the rear box folding mechanism 19 folds the box. When the bottom of the box 201 is supported on the support plate 111 and held by the first suction cup 112, the seventh linear actuator 191 drives the seventh guide baffle 192 to move vertically upward to push the rear box surface 204 upward to a vertical position. At the same time, it drives the lower left pad 207 to rotate to the left end of the bottom of the box 201 and the lower right pad 208 to rotate to the right end of the bottom of the box 201, thereby causing the rear box surface 204 to fold upward to a vertical position. Figure 9 The diagram shows the state of the box cover 202. At this time, the first guide baffle 132 moves to the right and extends to the right side of the left limiting guide plate 12a, and the second guide baffle 142 moves to the left and extends to the left side of the right limiting guide plate 12b, so as to block and limit the box cover 202 in a vertical state and prevent the box cover 202 from bending accidentally.
[0056] Next, the front box folding mechanism 22 folds the box, and the first rotary driver 221 drives the first rotating baffle 222 to fold. Figure 1 Rotate upwards 90° from the horizontal position shown. Figure 4 The vertical position shown is achieved by pushing the front box surface 203 upwards to a vertical position via the first rotating baffle 222, simultaneously causing the left front side ear 212 to rotate to the right side of the left box surface 205 and the right front side ear 213 to rotate to the left side of the right box surface 206, and causing the upper flat tongue 214 to rotate to a vertical position, thereby causing the front box surface 203 to fold upwards to a vertical position. Figure 9 The E state diagram shows that the front box surface 203 is fixed in a vertical state by the second suction cup 223.
[0057] Then, the left inner tongue folding mechanism 23 and the right inner tongue folding mechanism 24 cooperate to fold it, that is, the first rotating mounting base 232 is driven by the second rotary driver 231. Figure 1 The position located on the left outer side of the support plate 111 drives the second rotating baffle 234 to flip to the right. The second rotating baffle 234 pushes the left inner tongue 209 to fold downward and to the right side of the left front ear 212. Then, the eighth linear actuator 233 drives the first pressure plate 235 to press the left inner tongue 209 tightly against the right side of the left front ear 212, further reinforcing the folding of the left inner tongue 209 into place. Figure 9 As shown in the F state diagram, the left front side ear 212 is positioned between the left box surface 205 and the left inner tongue 209. And the second rotating mounting base 242 is driven by the third rotating actuator 241. Figure 1 The position located on the right outer side of the bearing plate 111 drives the third rotating baffle 244 to flip to the left. The third rotating baffle 244 pushes the right inner tongue 211 to fold downwards and to the left side of the right front ear 213. Then, the ninth linear actuator 243 drives the second pressure plate 245 to press the right inner tongue 211 tightly against the left side of the right front ear 213, further reinforcing the folding of the right inner tongue 211 into place.Figure 9 The right front side ear 213 is clamped between the right box face 206 and the right inner tongue 211 as shown in the middle F state diagram.
[0058] Then, the upper tongue folding mechanism 25 is used to fold the upper tongue 214. The first rotary driver 221 drives the first rotary baffle 222 to rotate 90° upward from the horizontal state shown in the middle E state diagram to the vertical state shown in the middle F state diagram. Figure 1 The upper tongue folding mechanism 25 also rotates 90° upward with the first rotary baffle 222, i.e., the fourth rotary baffle 253 rotates synchronously with the first rotary baffle 222 to the vertical state, and the upper tongue 214 rotates with the front box face 203 to the vertical state shown in the middle F state diagram. Figure 4 The tenth linear driver 251 drives the rotary seat 252 to drive the fourth rotary baffle 253 to rotate from the vertical state to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram, so that the fourth rotary baffle 253 pushes the upper tongue 214 to rotate to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram. Figure 9 The tenth linear driver 251 drives the rotary seat 252 to drive the fourth rotary baffle 253 to rotate from the vertical state to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram, so that the fourth rotary baffle 253 pushes the upper tongue 214 to rotate to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram. Figures 4 to 7 The tenth linear driver 251 drives the rotary seat 252 to drive the fourth rotary baffle 253 to rotate from the vertical state to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram, so that the fourth rotary baffle 253 pushes the upper tongue 214 to rotate to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram. Figure 9 The tenth linear driver 251 drives the rotary seat 252 to drive the fourth rotary baffle 253 to rotate from the vertical state to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram, so that the fourth rotary baffle 253 pushes the upper tongue 214 to rotate to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram.
[0059] Then, the upper tongue folding mechanism 25 is used to fold the upper tongue 214. The first rotary driver 221 drives the first rotary baffle 222 to rotate 90° upward from the horizontal state shown in the middle E state diagram to the vertical state shown in the middle F state diagram. Figure 9 The tenth linear driver 251 drives the rotary seat 252 to drive the fourth rotary baffle 253 to rotate from the vertical state to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram, so that the fourth rotary baffle 253 pushes the upper tongue 214 to rotate to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram.
[0060] Then, the upper tongue folding mechanism 25 is used to fold the upper tongue 214. The first rotary driver 221 drives the first rotary baffle 222 to rotate 90° upward from the horizontal state shown in the middle E state diagram to the vertical state shown in the middle F state diagram. Figure 1 The tenth linear driver 251 drives the rotary seat 252 to drive the fourth rotary baffle 253 to rotate from the vertical state to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram, so that the fourth rotary baffle 253 pushes the upper tongue 214 to rotate to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram. Figure 4 The tenth linear driver 251 drives the rotary seat 252 to drive the fourth rotary baffle 253 to rotate from the vertical state to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram, so that the fourth rotary baffle 253 pushes the upper tongue 214 to rotate to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram. Figures 4 to 7 The tenth linear driver 251 drives the rotary seat 252 to drive the fourth rotary baffle 253 to rotate from the vertical state to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram, so that the fourth rotary baffle 253 pushes the upper tongue 214 to rotate to the horizontal state shown in the middle G state diagram. Figure 9When the package 200 is in the inclined state shown in the middle H state diagram (at this time, the insertion lug 215 is located directly below the eighth guide baffle 323), the box cover 202 is fixed by the third suction cup 313 to prevent the box cover 202 from falling downward, the eighth guide baffle 323 is vertically moved downward by the tenth linear actuator 321, the insertion lug 215 is pushed downward by the eighth guide baffle 323 to fold vertically to the box cover 202, the fifth rotating baffle 312 pushes the box cover 202 to continue to fold forward, when the box cover 202 is folded to be directly below the ninth guide baffle 332, the ninth guide baffle 332 is vertically moved downward by the twelfth linear actuator 331, the connection between the box cover 202 and the insertion lug 215 is pushed by the ninth guide baffle 332 to push the insertion lug 215 to be inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 216, until the package 200 is closed as shown in the middle J state diagram. Figure 9 The package 200 is in the three-dimensional closed state shown in the middle J state diagram, so that the folding operation and the closing operation are completed at the same station.
[0061] Since the folding device and the box closing device of the folding and closing device 100 of the present application are arranged on the base plate 10, the folding device folds the package 200 from the planar unfolded state to the three-dimensional open state, and the closing device closes the package 200 from the three-dimensional open state to the three-dimensional closed state. Therefore, only the folding device is needed to fold the package 200 from the planar unfolded state to the three-dimensional open state at the same station on the base plate 10, and then the closing device is used to close the package 200 from the three-dimensional open state to the three-dimensional closed state, so that the folding operation and the closing operation can be completed at the same station. The folding operation and the closing operation do not need to be completed separately at different stations by moving the package 200 multiple times, the structure is simpler, the manufacturing cost is greatly reduced, the occupied area is smaller, the operation speed is faster, the efficiency is greatly improved, and the high-speed production line can be better matched.
[0062] The present application has been described in conjunction with the embodiments above, but the present application is not limited to the embodiments disclosed above, but should cover various modifications, equivalent combinations made according to the essence of the present application.
