[0002] At present, the ton bag packaging machines on the market are mainly semi-automatic ton bag packaging machines. During operation, manual bag picking, bag opening and bag hanging are required in advance. After the bags are hung on the packaging machine, the packaging machine will automatically add quantitative materials. After the adding is completed, the filled ton bag will be transferred to the conveyor and then sent to the next workstation for bag opening closing.

[0003] In response to the above problems, our company has developed a fully automatic packaging machine for solid fluids and applied for a patent. The fully automatic packaging machine for solid fluids can realize fully automatic operations such as bag taking, bag opening, bagging, bag clamping, weighing, loading, sealing, and dust removal. At present, the invention patents related to fully automatic packaging machines for solid fluids that have been authorized include: an invention patent for a composite weighing and packaging method for a fully automatic packaging machine for solid fluids with an authorization announcement number of CN116534316B, and an invention patent for a fully automatic packaging machine for solid fluids and an automatic bagging and packaging method with an authorization announcement number of CN 116424652 B.

[0004] However, the above patent still has the following aspects that deserve further improvement.

When there are differences in the thickness of ton bags and a large number of stacked bags, a large height difference will be accumulated, making it difficult to suck up ton bags, and they can only be placed manually in small batches.
