[0038] Working principle: When the automatic cartoning machine for food processing is working, the conveyor belt of the conveyor 2 conveys the packaging box 4 containing the food packaging bag to the right. When the packaging box 4 reaches the fixed plate 32, the upper cover plate at the opening of the front surface thereof will be blocked and move to the right along the upper surface of the fixed plate 32.

[0039] Next, the motor 1 33 is started to drive the shaft 1 34 to rotate, so that the lever 35 swings and pre-positions the left cover plate at the front opening of the packaging box 4. At the same time, the motor 2 36 is started to drive the shaft 2 37 to rotate, so that the positioning plate 38 swings and further pre-covers the front opening of the packaging box 4 with the left cover plate.

[0040] The packaging box 4 continues to move to the right, passing through the guide plate 1 311, the guide plate 2 313 and the guide plate 3 315 arranged from left to right in sequence. When passing through the guide plate 1 311, the right cover plate at the opening of the front surface will be blocked and pushed to cover the front surface of the packaging box 4; when passing through the guide plate 2 313, the upper cover plate will be blocked and pushed to cover the front surface of the packaging box 4; when passing through the guide plate 3 315, the lower cover plate will be blocked and pushed to cover the front surface of the packaging box 4, thus completing the shielding of the four facing covers on the front surface of the packaging box 4, which is convenient for subsequent packaging.

[0041] During the transportation process, the clamping plate 54 of the positioning assembly clamps the packaging box 4 in place through the elastic action of the compression spring 52 to ensure that it is stable and does not move forward or backward. When the packaging box 4 needs to be taken, the compression spring 52 has a small elasticity, which is convenient for the staff to operate. The inclined design on the upper surface of the clamping plate 54 allows it to open to the left and right sides when squeezed, without causing any obstruction.
