[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an automatic boxing and packaging device for packaged foods in a preferred embodiment provided by the present invention includes an opening and bottom sealing device 100, a receiving conveyor belt 200, a feeding conveyor belt 300, a packing box conveyor belt 400, a boxing mechanism 500, and a box sealing and folding mechanism 600.

[0051] The opening and bottom sealing device 100 is used to seal the bottom of the packing box 101, that is, to seal the bottom of the packing box 101 with adhesive tape.

[0052] The feeding conveyor belt 300 is used to input materials to the receiving conveyor belt 200, and a positioning structure is provided above the receiving conveyor belt 200 to position the materials entering the receiving conveyor belt 200.

[0053] The packing box conveyor belt 400 receives the packing box 101 output by the opening and bottom sealing device 100, and the packing box conveyor belt 400 extends to the side of the receiving conveyor belt 200 opposite to the feeding conveyor belt 300.

[0054] The boxing mechanism 500 is used to transfer the materials on the receiving conveyor belt 200 into the packing box 101 on the packing box conveyor belt 400.

[0055] The case-sealing folding plate mechanism 600 is used to fold and seal the top of the packing box 101 containing materials output by the packing box conveyor belt 400. In order to achieve automatic blanking, a blanking mechanism 800 is further provided on the output side of the case-sealing folding plate mechanism 600 to realize automatic blanking and stacking through a manipulator.

[0056] In an automatic packing and boxing equipment for packaged food provided by a preferred embodiment of the present invention, through the coordinated operation of the feeding conveyor belt 300 and the receiving conveyor belt 200, continuous conveying and precise positioning of materials are achieved. The positioning structure above the receiving conveyor belt 200 can ensure that small-packaged foods are neatly arranged when entering the conveyor belt, avoiding packing failures or damages caused by material position deviations, and significantly improving the stability and reliability of packing. The packing mechanism 500 enables small-packaged foods to be accurately transferred from the receiving conveyor belt 200 into the packing box on the packing box conveyor belt 400. This design not only improves the packing efficiency but also ensures the smooth transfer of small-packaged foods during the packing process through an optimized mechanical structure and control algorithm, avoiding product damages caused by dumping or collision, and is particularly suitable for the packing requirements of small-packaged foods with small volume and large quantity. The integrated design of the case-opening and bottom-sealing device 100 and the case-sealing folding plate mechanism 600 realizes the full-process automatic operation of the packing box from bottom sealing to top folding and sealing. This integrated design not only reduces manual intervention and labor intensity but also significantly improves the efficiency and stability of packing box handling, ensuring the continuity and high efficiency of the packing process. By completing the packing and sealing operations of small-packaged foods through automated equipment, the opportunity for manual contact with foods is reduced, effectively reducing the hygiene risk in the production environment and improving the quality and safety of products.

[0057] Refer to Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the packing mechanism 500 includes a packing frame 510, a sliding frame 520, and a first lifting drive mechanism 530.

[0058] The packing frame 510 is erected above the receiving conveyor belt 200 and the packing box conveyor belt 400; a part of the packing box conveyor belt 400 extends below the packing frame 510.

[0059] The sliding frame 520 is slidably installed on the top of the packing frame 510; the sliding of the sliding frame 520 can be realized through a slider and a slide rail. The top of the packing frame 510 is provided with a slide rail, and the bottom of the sliding frame 520 is provided with a slider adapted to the slide rail. The sliding of the sliding frame 520 can be driven by means such as a telescopic cylinder, a driving motor driving a belt, a telescopic motor, or a motor screw-nut pair.

[0060] The first lifting drive mechanism 530 is installed on the sliding frame 520. The bottom of the first lifting drive mechanism 530 is provided with a telescopic movable lifting end. The lifting end is connected to a material transfer rack 531. The material transfer rack 531 can grab the materials on the receiving conveyor belt 200 and then transfer them into the packaging box 101 on the packaging box conveyor belt 400. Part of the packaging box conveyor belt 400 extends below the moving path of the sliding frame 520. The packaging box conveyor belt 400 is used to convey the packaging box to below the moving path of the sliding frame 520, so that the material transfer rack 531 can grab the materials on the receiving conveyor belt 200 and then transfer them into the packaging box 101 on the packaging box conveyor belt 400.

[0061] Specifically, the first lifting drive mechanism 530 can be a telescopic cylinder, and the lifting end is the telescopic push rod of the cylinder. At least part of the receiving conveyor belt 200 is located below the moving path of the sliding frame 520. As Figure 7 shown, a plurality of negative pressure suction nozzles 532 are arranged on the material transfer rack 531, and the materials are taken by negative pressure suction, especially suitable for taking boxed or cup-packed foods. Through the sliding function of the sliding frame 520 and the lifting end of the first lifting drive mechanism 530, the material transfer rack 531 can accurately grab the materials below and transfer them from the receiving conveyor belt 200 into the packaging box 101 on the packaging box conveyor belt 400.

[0062] Referring to Figure 7 , in a further embodiment of the present invention, the positioning structure includes a baffle plate 700 and side alignment plates 710. The baffle plate 700 is located above the output side of the receiving conveyor belt 200 and is used to block the materials for the materials to abut and be positioned; specifically, the output side is the front side of the receiving conveyor belt 200, and the baffle plate 700 is located above the front side of the receiving conveyor belt 200. There are two side alignment plates 710 and they are located on both sides above the receiving conveyor belt 200; the two side alignment plates 710 and the baffle plate 700 form a receiving groove with an opening facing the feeding conveyor belt 300, that is, blocked on three sides and open on one side for the materials on the feeding conveyor belt 300 to enter, so as to realize the positioning and limiting of the materials.

[0063] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a mounting base 210 is provided below the receiving conveyor belt 200; both the packing rack 510 and the receiving conveyor belt 200 are mounted on the mounting base 210. A second lifting drive mechanism 720 is mounted on the mounting base 210. The telescopic movable end of the second lifting drive mechanism 720 is connected to a lifting frame 721. A first horizontal telescopic drive mechanism 722 is mounted on the lifting frame 721. The telescopic end of the first horizontal telescopic drive mechanism 722 is connected to the baffle plate 700 to drive the baffle plate 700 to move horizontally along the conveying direction of the receiving conveyor belt 200. An inclined chute 220 is mounted on the mounting base 210. The inclined chute 220 is located on the output side of the receiving conveyor belt 200 and is used to receive the materials output by the receiving conveyor belt 200. By mounting the second lifting drive mechanism 720 and the first horizontal telescopic drive mechanism 722 on the mounting base 210, the lifting and horizontal movement functions of the baffle plate 700 are realized. The baffle plate 700 can flexibly adjust its position according to the size and shape of the materials. And when the material transfer rack 531 moves down to grab the materials, the baffle plate 700 can contract to avoid the material transfer rack 531, reducing structural interference and avoiding structural collision damage. In addition, when the remaining materials on the receiving conveyor belt 200 need to be discharged, the second lifting drive mechanism 720 can be used to drive the baffle plate 700 to expand and contract, so as to release the materials and enable the materials to be discharged from the output side of the receiving conveyor belt 200. It can be understood that in order to avoid the materials, the second lifting drive mechanism 720 will be arranged on the left and right sides of the receiving conveyor belt 200. The inclined chute 220 is used to receive and guide the output of the materials, so that the remaining materials output by the receiving conveyor belt 200 flow to a relatively open position. A receiving frame can be arranged below the inclined chute 220 to receive the remaining materials. A second horizontal telescopic drive mechanism 711 is mounted on the mounting base 210. There are two second horizontal telescopic drive mechanisms 711 and they are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the receiving conveyor belt 200. The telescopic ends of the second horizontal telescopic drive mechanisms 711 are connected to the side alignment plates 710. The second horizontal telescopic drive mechanisms 711 symmetrically mounted on the left and right sides of the receiving conveyor belt 200 and the connected side alignment plates 710 can perform a lateral alignment operation on the materials. When the material transfer rack 531 needs to descend to grab the materials, the side alignment plates 710 will contract to avoid affecting the smooth grabbing of the materials. It ensures the accurate position of the materials during grabbing, avoids packing failure or damage caused by the position deviation of the materials, and further improves the accuracy and reliability of packing. And the horizontal movement function of the side alignment plates 710 enables them to adapt to materials of different sizes, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. The second lifting drive mechanism 720, the first horizontal telescopic drive mechanism 722 and the second horizontal telescopic drive mechanism 711 can all be telescopic cylinders.

[0064] Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7, in some embodiments of the present invention, vertical plates 410 are provided on both upper sides of the packing box conveyor belt 400, that is, the vertical plates 410 are arranged on both sides in the width direction of the packing box conveyor belt 400. A guiding strip plate 420 that can be adjusted to move along the width direction of the packing box conveyor belt 400 is installed on the vertical plate 410 to adjust the distance between the two guiding strip plates 420 to adapt to the width of the packing box 101. The vertical plates 410 and the adjustable guiding strip plates 420 on both upper sides of the packing box conveyor belt 400 enable the guiding strip plates 420 to flexibly adjust the distance according to the width of the packing box 101. In a further embodiment of the present invention, through holes 411 are provided on the vertical plate 410, notches 412 are provided at the upper ends of the through holes 411, through holes 413 are provided on both sides of the notches 412, and the guiding strip plate 420 is provided with positioning posts 430 that are movably inserted into the through holes 411. Fasteners are installed in the through holes 413 to clamp the positioning posts 430. By providing the through holes 411, notches 412 and through holes 413 on the vertical plate 410 and using fasteners to clamp the positioning posts 430 of the guiding strip plate 420, the rapid installation and fixation of the guiding strip plate 420 are achieved. It is convenient for users to quickly adjust the distance according to actual needs, improving the adaptability and operation convenience of the packing mechanism. The use of fasteners ensures the stability of the guiding strip plate 420 after adjustment, enhancing the reliability of the equipment.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, a third horizontal telescopic driving mechanism is installed on the upper side of the end of the packing box conveyor belt 400. The third horizontal telescopic driving mechanism is connected with a telescopic and movable baffle plate. The baffle plate is used to block the packing box 101 on the packing box conveyor belt 400 from continuing to move along the conveying direction, so that the packing box 101 on the packing box conveyor belt 400 is on the moving path of the material transfer rack 531. There is a certain gap between the guiding strip plate 420 and the packing box conveyor belt 400, and the baffle plate shuttles and moves within this gap. The third horizontal telescopic driving mechanism and the connected baffle plate can effectively block the packing box 101 from continuing to move along the conveying direction, ensuring that the packing box 101 accurately stops on the moving path of the material transfer rack 531 during packing. The accuracy of packing box positioning is improved, and it can also prevent the packing box from failing to be packed or being damaged due to position deviation during the packing process, further enhancing the stability and reliability of packing. The third horizontal telescopic driving mechanism can be a telescopic cylinder.

[0066] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments of the present invention, a material transfer mechanism 440 is further included, which is arranged at the end of the packing box conveyor belt 400 and is used to transfer the packing box 101 at the end of the packing box conveyor belt 400 to the transition conveyor line 450. The transition conveyor line 450 is then used to convey the packing box to the sealing and folding mechanism 600. The end of the packing box conveyor belt 400 is the end in the conveying direction of the packing box conveyor belt 400, that is, as Figure 6The left end position. The transfer mechanism 440 is arranged at the end of the packing box conveyor belt 400 and is used to transfer the packed packing box 101 to the transition conveyor line 450. It realizes the seamless connection between the packing process and the subsequent conveying link, further optimizes the automation degree of the entire production process, and improves the production efficiency. The addition of the transfer mechanism 440 enables the packed packing box to quickly enter the subsequent process, reduces manual intervention, and reduces the labor intensity. Moreover, it can change the conveying direction of the subsequent packing boxes, making the overall layout of the production line more reasonable. The overall layout of the entire production line is arranged along the back-to-front direction, reducing the floor area in the left-right direction.

[0067] Referring to Figure 5 , in a further embodiment of the present invention, the transfer mechanism 440 includes a mounting frame 441, a sliding dial 442, a baffle 443, and a sliding driving mechanism. The mounting frame 441 is arranged at the end of the packing box conveyor belt 400. The sliding dial 442 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 441, and the sliding direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the packing box conveyor belt 400. Sliders can be arranged on the sliding dial 442, and slide rails can be arranged on the mounting frame 441. The sliding guide is realized through the cooperation of the sliders and the slide rails. The sliding of the sliding dial 442 can push the packing box 101 at the end of the packing box conveyor belt 400 to the transition conveyor line 450; the baffle 443 is arranged at the end of the packing box conveyor belt 400 to block the packing box 101 from continuing to move along the conveying direction of the packing box conveyor belt 400, and the sliding driving mechanism is used to drive the sliding of the sliding dial 442. The sliding dial 442 can push the packing box 101 at the end of the packing box conveyor belt 400 to the transition conveyor line 450, while the baffle 443 prevents the packing box 101 from continuing to move along the conveying direction. It improves the efficiency and stability of the packing box transfer, and further enhances the automation level and operation convenience of the packing mechanism. The sliding driving mechanism can be a telescopic cylinder or a telescopic motor or a combination of a motor and a screw-nut pair.

[0068] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the case sealing folding plate mechanism 600 includes a mounting frame 610, a conveyor belt 620, a case pressing frame 630, and a rear folding driving mechanism 640.

[0069] The conveyor belt 620 is installed at the upper end of the mounting frame 610 and is arranged at intervals left and right, and is used to drive the packing box 101 entering the middle of the two conveyor belts 620 to move forward. Specifically, a mounting frame is fixed at the upper end of the mounting frame 610, and the conveyor belt 620 is installed on the mounting frame. The conveyor belt 620 arranged at intervals left and right can clamp the packing box 101 to move forward through friction. Since the conveyor belt 620 has a certain elastic ability, the packing box 101 will not be damaged. In order to improve the friction, strip-shaped protrusions are also provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 620.

[0070] The box pressing frame 630 is connected to the mounting frame 610 and is located above the conveyor belt 620. The box pressing frame 630 is provided with a front folding plate structure 631, a rear folding plate structure 632, and a side folding plate structure 633. The rear end of the front folding plate structure 631 is provided with a converging structure 6311 that converges forward and downward to fold the front cover plate 102 of the packaging box 101 moving forward. As shown in Figure 9, the front cover plate 102 of the packaging box 101 moving forward will contact the converging structure 6311 and gradually fold downward as it moves forward. The front end of the converging structure 6311 is connected to a horizontal section 6312 to continuously press the front cover plate 102 that has been folded. Specifically, the converging structure 6311 is an arc plate, and the horizontal section 6312 is a horizontal plate.

[0071] The rear folding plate structure 632 is movably installed on the pressing box frame 630 and is used to fold the rear cover plate 103 of the packing box 101 forward to the front folding plate structure 631 so that it can be pressed by the front folding plate structure 631. The rear end of the side folding plate structure 633 is more forward than the rear end of the front folding plate structure 631. Two side folding plate structures 633 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right to cause the side cover plates 104 of the packing box 101 moving forward to be folded inward and press the front cover plate 102 and the rear cover plate 103. That is, after the rear folding plate structure 632 folds the rear cover plate 103, the rear cover plate 103 will contact the front folding plate structure 631 and thus be pressed by the front folding plate structure 631, thereby realizing the folding and holding of the rear cover plate 103. The rear end of the side folding plate structure 633 is more forward than the rear end of the front folding plate structure 631, so that after the front cover plate 102 and the rear cover plate 103 are folded and pressed by the front folding plate structure 631, the side cover plates 104 on the left and right are then folded and pressed down, so that the side cover plates 104 press on the front cover plate 102 and the rear cover plate 103. Specifically, the side folding plate structure 633 is located in front of the folding structure 6311, and the rear end of the side folding plate structure 633 is more forward than the rear end of the horizontal section 6312. Two side folding plate structures 633 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right to cause the side cover plates 104 of the packing box 101 moving forward to be folded inward and press the front cover plate 102 and the rear cover plate 103. That is, the side cover plates 104 of the packing box 101 moving forward will contact the side folding plate structure 633 and be pressed by the side folding plate structure 633 to be folded downward as the packing box 101 moves forward. The rear folding drive mechanism 640 is installed on the pressing box frame 630 and is used to drive the rear folding plate structure 632 to move. The packing box 101 is driven to move forward by the conveyor belt 620, and the front folding plate structure 631, the rear folding plate structure 632 and the side folding plate structure 633 on the pressing box frame 630 are used to realize the automatic folding and pressing of the cover plate. The whole process does not require manual intervention, greatly reducing the time and labor required for sealing the box. There is no need for multiple drive mechanisms to drive the robotic arm to perform complex cover plate folding operations. Only the rear folding plate structure 632 needs to be driven by the rear folding drive mechanism 640. The front folding plate structure 631 and the side folding plate structure 633 directly rely on the conveyor belt 620 to drive the packing box 101 to move forward to realize the gradual downward folding of the cover plate, reducing the complexity of the equipment.

[0072] Refer to Figure 10, in some embodiments of the present invention, a stabilizing plate 634 is provided on the box pressing frame 630. The stabilizing plate 634 is located on the front side of the side folding plate structure 633 and is used to press the side cover plate 104. After passing through the side folding plate structure 633, the side cover plate 104 has already pressed the front cover plate 102 and the rear cover plate 103. That is, the stabilizing plate 634 presses all the closed cover plates on the top of the packaging box 101, facilitating subsequent tape sticking by a tape sticking mechanism or manually. The rear end of the stabilizing plate 634 tilts upward, so as to adapt to the slightly arched side cover plate 104 and gradually press the side cover plate 104 down to a fully closed state. The front end of the stabilizing plate 634 has a horizontal plate to continuously press the side cover plate 104 horizontally. A vertical plate 6341 is fixedly connected to the stabilizing plate 634. A strip hole 6342 is provided on the vertical plate 6341. A connection hole corresponding to the strip hole 6342 is provided on the box pressing frame 630. The strip hole 6342 is aligned with the connection hole and a fastener is installed. The fastener can be a screw or a bolt and nut. The position of the strip hole 6342 can be vertically adjusted to align with the connection hole, thereby adjusting the position of the stabilizing plate 634 to adapt to packaging boxes 101 of different heights. It can be understood that a tape sticking mechanism can be provided at the front end of the box pressing frame 630 to seal the top of the packaging box. Of course, manual assistance for tape sticking can also be adopted.

[0073] Referring to Figure 11 , in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the side folding plate structure 633 is a round rod. The circumferential wall surface of the round rod is a curved surface, which can reduce indentation and damage to the cover plate. The rear end of the round rod tilts upward, and the round rods on the left and right sides gradually approach forward. Thus, after the side cover plate 104 contacts the round rod, as the packaging box 101 moves forward with the side cover plate 104, the side cover plate 104 is pressed downward and gradually folds inward by the forwardly and downwardly inclined and gradually approaching round rods. In a further embodiment of the present invention, a connecting column 6331 extending upward is provided at the front end of the round rod. The box pressing frame 630 is provided with a mounting block 635. The mounting block 635 is provided with a vertical hole 6351 and a fastening hole 6352 is provided on the side wall of the mounting block 635. The connecting column 6331 is embedded in the vertical hole 6351 and can be adjusted in height and angle. A set screw is installed on the fastening hole 6352 to fix the connecting column 6331. Thus, the height and angle of the round rod can be adjusted by using the connecting column 6331 to adapt to packaging boxes 101 of different specifications. After adjusting to a suitable position, install the set screw to fix the position, thereby achieving adjustment and fixation. The round rods on both sides usually need to be symmetrically arranged after adjustment.

[0074] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the rear folding plate structure 632 is specifically a swing arm. The rear folding plate structure 632 has an avoidance state and a folding plate state. The rear folding plate structure 632 is hingedly installed on the pressing box frame 630 to realize the switching between the avoidance state and the folding plate state. The rear folding plate structure 632 in the avoidance state is higher than that in the folding plate state to avoid the front and rear movement paths of the packaging box 101. The rear folding plate structure 632 in the folding plate state can fold the rear cover plate 103 of the packaging box 101 towards the front folding plate structure 631. As Figure 9 shown, the rear folding plate structure 632 is in the avoidance state. The rear folding plate structure 632 in the folding plate state can fold the rear cover plate 103 of the packaging box 101 towards the front folding plate structure 631. When it is necessary to fold the rear cover plate 103 of the packaging box 101 forward, the rear folding drive mechanism 640 can be driven to rotate downward to fold the rear cover plate 103 of the packaging box 101 forward. The rear folding drive mechanism 640 can be a telescopic drive mechanism, such as a cylinder or a telescopic motor. Both ends of the telescopic drive mechanism are hinged on the pressing box frame 630.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, the pressing box frame 630 is installed on the mounting frame 610 in a lifting and movable manner, and a lifting drive mechanism is installed on the mounting frame 610 to drive the pressing box frame 630 to lift. Thus, the height of the pressing box frame 630 is adjusted to adapt to the sealing folding plates of packaging boxes of different heights. Specifically, the mounting frame 610 is provided with a vertical frame 611, and a chute 6111 is provided on the vertical frame 611. A lifting frame 636 is installed on the side of the pressing box frame 630, and a nut block 6361 that is embedded in the chute 6111 is provided on the lifting frame 636; the lifting drive mechanism is a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is connected with a lead screw that extends into the chute 6111. The lead screw is in transmission connection with the nut block 6361. Through the screw drive of the screw-nut pair, the rotation of the lead screw drives the nut block 6361 to lift and move, so as to realize the lifting and moving of the pressing box frame 630. In addition, in order to lock the height of the pressing box frame 630, the motor can adopt a motor with an electromagnetic brake or the output shaft and the lead screw are connected with a reducer with a large reduction ratio to prevent the nut block 6361 from floating by increasing the friction force. The setting of a worm and worm gear transmission in the reducer can also realize the function of increasing self-locking.

[0076] Referring to Figures 12 to 15 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the unpacking and bottom-sealing device 100 includes a supporting bracket 110, a side conveyor belt 120, a glue pasting mechanism, a conveying transition belt 180, and a box expanding mechanism 190.

[0077] The supporting bracket 110 includes two spaced-apart support plates 111 on the left and right for supporting the packaging box 101.

[0078] There are two side conveyor belts 120 arranged at intervals on the left and right. The side conveyor belts 120 are located outside the two pallets 111 and are used to drive the packing box 101 to be conveyed forward on the pallet 111. That is, the two pallets 111 are located at the middle and lower positions between the two side conveyor belts 120. It can be understood that in order to adapt to packing boxes 101 of different widths, the side conveyor belts 120 can be movably installed on the support bracket 110 in the left-right direction, so that the spacing can be adjusted to adapt to packing boxes 101 of different widths. The bottom of the support bracket 110 can be slidably installed with a mounting frame in the left-right direction, and the side conveyor belts 120 are installed on the mounting frame. In order to brush away some impurities after the bottom tape of the carton is sealed and make the contact between the tape and the bottom of the carton closer, thereby enhancing the adhesion of the tape, a convex brush can be installed at the front end of the pallet.

[0079] The tape sticking mechanism is used to stick and seal the bottom of the packing box 101 passing through the pallet 111; before the packing box 101 enters the pallet 111, the cover plate at the bottom has been folded and closed, and sticking the tape realizes stable box sealing. The folding and closing of the cover plate at the bottom of the packing box can be operated by a manipulator or manually.

[0080] The transfer transition belt 180 is used to receive the packing box 101 output by the side conveyor belt 120. The box expanding mechanism 190 is used to expand the cover plate at the top of the packing box 101 on the transfer transition belt 180. It can be understood that there is a telescopic and movable baffle on the transfer transition belt 180, so that when the packing box 101 needs to be processed by the box expanding mechanism 190, the baffle can block the packing box 101 on the transfer transition belt 180, and the packing box 101 is aligned with the box expanding mechanism 190. Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the box expanding mechanism 190 includes a lifting cylinder 191. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 191 is connected with a second mounting plate 192. The four sides of the second mounting plate 192 are provided with box expanding plates 193, and the bottoms of the box expanding plates 193 are converged inward. The cover plates on the four sides of the upper end of the packing box 101 may affect the subsequent smooth loading of small-packaged foods into the box. When the box expanding plates 193 descend, the cover plates can be further expanded so that they will not affect the subsequent smooth box loading. It can be understood that a pushing mechanism can also be arranged at the end of the transfer transition belt 180, and the pushing mechanism is used to push the packing box 101 expanded by the box expanding mechanism 190 into the packing box conveyor belt 400. The pushing mechanism can be a telescopic cylinder and a push plate connected to the push rod of the telescopic cylinder.

[0081] Referring to Figures 12 to 15 , in a further embodiment of the present invention, the tape sticking mechanism includes a first pressing frame 130, a second pressing frame 140 and a first reset structure 142.

[0082] The first pressing frame 130 is hinged between the two supporting plates 111, and a first pressing roller 131 is rotatably installed on the top of the first pressing frame 130, and the first pressing roller 131 can rotate along its own axis. The first pressing frame 130 has a waiting state and a glue pressing state; in the waiting state, the upper end of the first pressing roller 131 is higher than the upper end of the supporting plate 111; in the glue pressing state, the first pressing roller 131 is pressed below by the packaging box 101 on the supporting plate 111, and the tape is pressed against the bottom of the packaging box 101, so that as the packaging box 101 moves, the tape is fully pressed against the bottom of the packaging box 101. It is understandable that a tape roller 170 will be installed under the pallet 111, and a roll of tape will be installed on the tape roller 170. The side of the tape without glue will be wound around the first pressure roller 131. When the packaging box 101 moves forward, the front side of the packaging box 101 will first contact the first pressure roller 131 and the tape on the first pressure roller 131, and the front end of the tape will first stick to the front side of the packaging box 101, and as the packaging box 101 continues to move forward, the first pressure roller 131 will stick the tape to the bottom of the packaging box 101 from the front side of the packaging box 101.

[0083] The second press frame 140 is hinged between the two support plates 111. The second press frame 140 is located in front of the first press frame 130. A second press roller 141 is rotatably installed on the top of the second press frame 140. The second press frame 140 has an upper state and a folded state. When in the upper state, the upper end of the second press roller 141 is higher than the upper end of the support plate 111. When in the folded state, the height of the second press roller 141 is lower than the upper state and can allow the packaging box 101 to pass over. That is, at this time, the upper end of the second press roller 141 is flush or nearly flush with the upper end of the support plate 111, and the second press roller 141 will fit with the bottom of the packaging box 101, thereby further compacting the tape. The second pressing frame 140 is connected to the first pressing frame 130 through a linkage transmission. When the second pressing frame 140 is in the upper pushing state, the first pressing frame 130 is in the waiting pressing state; when the second pressing frame 140 is in the folded state, the first pressing frame 130 is in the glue pressing state, that is, the second pressing roller 141 and the first pressing roller 131 are simultaneously opened upward or folded downward; and in the process of moving from the folded state to the upper pushing state, the second pressing frame 140 has at least one tail pressing stroke, during which the rotation activity of the second pressing frame 140 will cause the second pressing roller 141 to move forward and the height of the second pressing roller 141 will gradually increase during the forward movement; so that when the packaging box 101 gradually separates from the second pressing roller 141, the second pressing roller 141 will spread the tape from the bottom surface of the packaging box 101 to the rear side surface of the packaging box 101, ensuring that the rear end of the bottom tape will extend to the rear side surface of the packaging box 101. It is understandable that when the packaging box 101 enters the pallet 111, the cardboard at the bottom of the packaging box 101 has been folded inwards and covers the bottom opening.

[0084] The first restoring structure 142 is used to push the first pressing frame 130 in the glue pressing state to return to the standby pressing state.

[0085] As Figure 12 and Figure 15 shown, in order to integrally mount the first pressing frame 130 and the second pressing frame 140 on the pallet 111, two first mounting plates 115 which are arranged at intervals left and right are detachably mounted on the inner sides of the two pallets 111. The first mounting plates 115 are fixedly mounted on the pallets 111. The components mounted on the first mounting plates 115 are equivalent to being indirectly mounted on the pallets 111. During installation, the first pressing frame 130 and the second pressing frame 140 can be first mounted on the first mounting plates 115, and then the first mounting plates 115 are fixedly mounted on the pallets 111, so that after the first pressing frame 130 and the second pressing frame 140 are conveniently mounted in an open space, they are integrally mounted on the pallets 111, which is convenient for installation.

[0086] The coordinated operation of the first pressing frame 130 and the second pressing frame 140 enables the tape to be accurately pressed on the bottom of the packing box, realizing rapid box sealing and significantly improving the box sealing efficiency. Compared with the traditional box sealing device that adopts multiple driving mechanisms such as cylinders and motors, in the present invention, the second pressing frame 140 and the first pressing frame 130 are connected by a linkage member to realize their coordinated movement, reduce the number of driving mechanisms used, simplify the structural design, reduce the equipment cost and the maintenance difficulty. Moreover, the movement of the first pressing frame 130 is also switched to the glue pressing state under the push of the packing box 101, and is automatically pushed by the first reset structure 142 to restore the first pressing frame 130 from the glue pressing state to the state to be pressed, without arranging an additional driving mechanism to drive the movement of the first pressing frame 130 and the second pressing frame 140; realizing the automatic cyclic operation of the box sealing process, reducing manual intervention, and further improving the operation stability and reliability of the equipment. The switching between the state to be pressed and the glue pressing state of the first pressing frame 130, and the switching between the upward pressing state and the folding state of the second pressing frame 140 ensure the accurate pasting of the tape on the bottom of the packing box. Especially in the tail pressing stroke of the second pressing frame 140, the forward movement and height change of the second pressing roller 141 further compact the tape, ensuring the firmness and flatness of the box sealing and significantly improving the box sealing quality.

[0087] Referring to Figures 13 to 15 , in a further embodiment of the present invention, the tape pasting mechanism further includes a tape cutting mechanism 150, which is located between the first pressing frame 130 and the second pressing frame 140 and between the two pallets 111, and is used for cutting the tape passing above, so as to realize automatic tape cutting.

[0088] Specifically, the tape cutting mechanism 150 includes a tape cutting frame 151. The tape cutting frame 151 is provided with a toggle handle 1511, and a cutting knife 152 is provided on the tape cutting frame 151. The tape cutting frame 151 has a pressed state and an initial state, and the tape cutting frame 151 is movably installed on the support plate 111 to realize the switching between the pressed state and the initial state. In the initial state, the blade of the cutting knife 152 is higher than the top end of the support plate 111. In the pressed state, the blade of the cutting knife 152 is lower than the top end of the support plate 111. The toggle handle 1511 is used to contact the forward-moving packaging box 101 and drive the tape cutting frame 151 to move from the initial state to the pressed state until it is switched to the pressed state under the push of the packaging box 101. The blade of the cutting knife 152 does not protrude beyond the edge of the toggle handle 1511, and the cutting knife 152 and the toggle handle 1511 are arranged offset in the left-right direction. It can be understood that in order for the cutting knife 152 to cut the tape, the cutting knife 152 is arranged at the middle position in the left-right direction, so as to cut the tape attached to the middle position of the bottom of the packaging box 101. The cutting knife 152 and the toggle handle 1511 are arranged offset in the left-right direction. The toggle handle 1511 is located on the left or right side of the cutting knife 152. The toggle handle 1511 is used to prevent the toggle handle 1511 from contacting the tape and affecting the cutting of the tape.

[0089] A second reset structure 153 is connected to the tape cutting frame 151. The second reset structure 153 is used to push the tape cutting frame 151 in the pressed state towards the initial state. The middle part of the tape cutting frame 151 is hinged to the support plate 111. The second reset structure 153 is a tension spring. One end of the second reset structure 153 is connected to the bottom of the tape cutting frame 151, and the other end is connected to the support plate 111. The blade of the cutting knife 152 not protruding beyond the edge of the toggle handle 1511 means that when the packaging box 101 passes by the cutting knife 152, the packaging box 101 is always in contact with the toggle handle 1511, and the blade of the cutting knife 152 will not contact and damage the packaging box 101. Only when the packaging box 101 passes over the toggle handle 1511 and the cutting knife 152, under the action of the second reset structure 153, the cutting knife 152 bounces upwards to cut the tape. The switching between the pressed state and the initial state of the tape cutting frame 151 enables the cutting knife 152 to automatically complete the cutting action under the push of the packaging box 101, while the second reset structure 153 ensures that the tape cutting frame 151 can automatically return to the initial state, realizing the automation of the cutting operation. A first positioning post 112 is provided inside the support plate 111. The first positioning post 112 is used to abut against the tape cutting frame 151 in the initial state. The tension spring will pull the tape cutting frame 151 to abut against the first positioning post 112 to maintain the initial state when not under external force. The first positioning post 112 inside the support plate 111 provides stable limit support for the tape cutting frame 151 in the initial state. This not only improves the stability of the tape cutting mechanism 150 but also ensures the accurate position of the cutting knife 152 in the initial state.

[0090] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a protective cover 154 is hinged on the tape cutting frame 151 to shield the blade of the cutting knife 152 in the initial state. By hinging the protective cover 154 on the tape cutting frame 151 to shield the blade of the cutting knife 152 in the initial state, it avoids the operator accidentally contacting the blade, improves the safety of the equipment, and reduces the operation risk. It can be understood that in order for the protective cover 154 to reset, a torsion spring is installed on the hinge shaft of the protective cover 154 and the tape cutting frame 151, so that the protective cover 154 can reset to the state of shielding the blade of the cutting knife 152 without external structural interference. In addition, in order for the protective cover 154 not to shield the blade of the cutting knife 152 when cutting the tape, an extension strip 1541 is provided on the side of the protective cover 154, so that when the tape cutting frame 151 and the cutting knife 152 just reach the initial state, the extension strip 1541 is still higher than the upper end of the pallet 111, so that when the packing box 101 continues to move, it can drive the protective cover 154 to move relative to the cutting knife 152 to open the upper space of the cutting knife 152 and cancel the shielding of the cutting knife 152; as Figure 14 shown, when the packing box 101 moves forward, compared with the extension strip 1541, the tail of the packing box 101 will first cross the toggle handle 1511 and thus be separated from the toggle handle 1511, so that the cutting knife 152 pops up upward without being shielded by the protective cover 154 to realize the cutting of the tape.

[0091] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the linkage member includes a connecting rod 160. One end of the connecting rod 160 is hinged to the first pressing frame 130, and the other end is hinged to the second pressing frame 140. The linkage member realizes the coordinated movement of the two, simplifies the structure of the equipment, improves the synchronism and stability of the bottom sealing operation, and ensures the efficiency and reliability of the case sealing process. A second positioning post 113 is provided on the pallet 111, and a positioning groove 161 is provided on the connecting rod 160. In the state to be pressed, the second positioning post 113 is inserted into the positioning groove 161 and abuts against the side wall of the positioning groove 161. When moving towards the state of pressing the glue, the second positioning post 113 and the positioning groove 161 will separate and will not interfere with the movement of the connecting rod 160, the first pressing frame 130 and the second pressing frame 140. In the state to be pressed, the second positioning post 113 is inserted into the positioning groove 161 to ensure that the first pressing frame 130 and the second pressing frame 140 are kept in the correct positions, further optimizing the accuracy and stability of the bottom sealing process. The first reset structure 142 is a tension spring. One end of the first reset structure 142 is connected to the pallet 111, and the other end is connected to the first pressing frame 130 or the second pressing frame 140.
