[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, during the process of packing products into boxes, there are requirements for the installation directions of the upper cover, lower cover of the box, and the partition installed in the lower cover. The box packing device 100 of this embodiment, during the box packing process, detects whether the direction of the lower cover of the box is correct through the first vision mechanism 23. If it is detected that the direction of the lower cover of the box is incorrect, the direction of the lower cover of the box is rotated to the correct direction without manual intervention, and at the same time, it is ensured that the direction of the lower cover of the box is correct during the product box packing process, improving the accuracy and efficiency of box packing.

[0062] Exemplarily, the first vision mechanism 23 may include a camera or a CCD camera. During the process of packing products into boxes, the camera or CCD camera takes pictures of the direction of the lower cover of the box, and then detects the direction of the lower cover. If the direction of the lower cover is correct, the box is moved to the first position 212 of the carrier 21. If the direction of the lower cover is incorrect, after rotating the direction of the lower cover of the box to the correct direction, the box is moved to the first position 212 of the carrier 21, ensuring the accuracy of the direction of the lower cover of the box placed on the carrier 21 during the box packing process.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the first device 200 further includes: a first suction cup assembly 24. The first suction cup assembly 24 is installed on the first rack 20.

The second vision mechanism 33 is installed on the second frame 31 and is used to detect whether the installation direction of the partition inside the lower cover located in the second vision recognition area is correct. The robot 34 is installed on the second frame 31 and is used to grab the product and place it in the lower cover when the installation direction of the partition is correct. After the product is successfully placed, the upper cover is grabbed and buckled on the lower cover of the box body to complete the boxing of the product in the target box body. The robot 34 is also used to grab the partition with the wrong installation direction and rotate it, and reinstall the partition in the lower cover after the installation direction of the partition is correct.

The information collection mechanism 43 is installed on the third frame 41 and is used to read the product information of the product in the target box body. The label printing mechanism 44 is communicatively connected to the information collection mechanism 43. The label printing mechanism 44 is used to receive the product information sent by the information collection mechanism 43, and after printing a label according to the product information, transmit the label to the third vision recognition area. The third vision mechanism 45 is installed on the third frame 41. The third vision mechanism 45 is used to detect whether the label located in the third vision recognition area is qualified.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, by detecting whether the label is qualified through the third vision mechanism 45, the accuracy of the label attached to the target box body is ensured, and there is no manual participation, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of cartoning.
