[0020] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] The utility model provides an automatic box-closing device. The box comprises a main body and a flip cover. A receiving cavity is arranged in the main body. The receiving cavity forms an opening at the top of the main body. The flip cover is rotatably connected to the main body. The automatic box-closing device is used to enable the flip cover to automatically flip over to cover the opening without manual operation, thereby reducing labor intensity and improving closing efficiency.

[0022] The box body has a first posture and a second posture. When the box body is in the first posture, the projection of the opening in the direction of gravity is misplaced or partially falls on the flip cover. The first posture is a state in which the flip cover does not cover the opening, which is convenient for placing items in the main body; when the box body is in the second posture, the projection of the opening in the direction of gravity completely falls on the flip cover. The second posture is a state in which the flip cover completely covers the opening. The process of the box body changing from the first posture to the second posture is the process of the box body completing the closing of the lid.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the automatic box cover closing device includes a conveying member 10 and a cover closing member 20, wherein:

[0024] The conveying member 10 is used to convey a plurality of boxes (not shown in the figure), and the plurality of boxes can move along a preset path Y. The preset path Y is the conveying direction of the conveying member 10, and the plurality of boxes are sequentially placed on the conveying member 10 and move toward the cover closing member 20. The cover closing member 20 enables the boxes to complete the process of changing from the first state to the second state, thereby realizing the process of automatically closing the boxes in sequence, improving the closing efficiency of the boxes, and helping to reduce the labor intensity and labor costs of operators.

[0025] The cover closing member 20 is arranged at a preset position of the preset path Y, and the preset position is the intersection between the extension direction of the cover closing member 20 and the transmission direction of the conveying member 10. When the box body reaches the preset position, the cover closing member 20 abuts against the flip cover. As the conveying member 10 continues to move the box body along the preset path Y, the cover closing member 20 and the flip cover must always abut against each other to achieve closing. In order to maintain the abutting state, the cover closing member 20 will give the flip cover a force to make the flip cover continue to flip in the direction of the opening. When the box body passes the preset position, the abutting state between the flip cover and the cover closing member 20 is released, and the box body is converted from the first posture to the second posture. The flip cover completely covers the opening, that is, one closing is completed. After one box body completes closing, the next box body reaches the preset position and repeats the process, thereby realizing automatic closing of multiple boxes.

[0026] In the embodiment provided by the present application, during the process of the box body being converted from the first posture to the second posture, the distance between the cover closing member 20 and the conveying member 10 gradually decreases. When the box body reaches the preset position, the flip cover begins to abut against the cover closing member 20. As the box body continues to move forward, the flip cover flips toward the opening, and the angle between the flip cover and the opening becomes smaller and smaller, and the distance between the flip cover and the conveying member 10 gradually decreases accordingly. In order to keep the cover closing member 20 and the flip cover in abutment with each other, the distance between the cover closing member 20 and the conveying member 10 should change with the change of the angle between the flip cover and the opening. During the closing process, the distance between the cover closing member 20 and the conveying member 10 gradually decreases to adapt to the position change between the flip cover and the opening.

[0027] In order to be applicable to the closing of different boxes, there is a preset angle between the extension direction of the cover closing member 20 and the extension direction of the preset path Y. By changing the preset angle, the time for the cover closing member 20 to abut against the flip cover is controlled. For different boxes, the size of the flip cover is different. For a box with a larger size, the closing time is relatively long, and the time for the flip cover to abut against the cover closing member 20 is correspondingly longer. A smaller preset angle can be set to extend the time for the flip cover to abut against the cover closing member 20, thereby ensuring the smooth closing of the large-sized box; for a box with a smaller size, the closing time is relatively short, and the time for the flip cover to abut against the cover closing member 20 is correspondingly shortened. By setting a larger preset angle, the closing process of the small-sized box can be completed. The preset angle between the extension direction of the cover closing member 20 and the extension direction of the preset path Y can be selected according to the size of the box to select a suitable angle to improve the applicability and versatility of the cover closing device.

[0028] In a feasible implementation, the preset angle is 30°-45°. The preset angle of 30° can be used for closing a box body of a larger size, and the preset angle of 45° can be used for closing a box body of a smaller size. The preset angle can be selected according to the specific size of the box body and the closing requirements, and is not limited here.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the automatic box-closing device further includes a plurality of partitions 30, which can separate the plurality of box bodies so as to facilitate the operation of a single box body. The plurality of partitions 30 are sequentially arranged on the conveying member 10 at intervals, and one box body can be accommodated between two adjacent partitions 30. In the embodiment provided by the present application, the spacing between adjacent partitions 30 can be set according to the box-closing process to be suitable for closing different box bodies. During the closing process, the partitions 30 can also limit the box body to prevent the box body from moving in the direction opposite to the transmission direction of the conveying member 10 during the process of the flap and the closing member 20 abutting against each other, thereby affecting the smooth closing of other box bodies.

[0030] In a feasible implementation, the partition 30 may be a baffle, and multiple baffles are sequentially arranged on the conveying member 10, and a box body can be accommodated between two baffles. The baffle has a simple structure, has a good separation effect, and can also limit the box body, which is conducive to cost saving. In other implementations, the partition 30 may adopt other structures or components, which are not limited here.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, the automatic box closing device provided in the present application can be used for closing the blueberry box. A plurality of blueberry boxes are placed in sequence between two adjacent partitions 30 on the conveyor 10. The conveyor 10 can be set to pause after each transmission of a certain distance, and the blueberries are packed into the blueberry boxes by a robot or manually. After the packing is completed, the conveyor 10 starts to transport the blueberry box forward. When the blueberry box reaches the preset position, the flap of the blueberry box abuts against the closing member 20. As the conveyor 10 continues to transport, the position where the closing member 20 abuts against the flap moves downward as the flap position decreases, until the flap completely covers the opening to achieve the closing of the blueberry box. After the closing is completed, the abutment between the flap and the closing member 20 is released, and the blueberry box continues to move forward to the next process under the action of the conveyor 10.

[0032] The above describes in detail the structure, features and effects of the utility model based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, but the utility model is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the drawings. Any changes made in accordance with the concept of the utility model, or modifications to equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, which still do not exceed the spirit covered by the description and the drawings, should be within the protection scope of the utility model.
