[0031] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] Figure 1 The structure of the processing equipment 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 The structure of the pasting device 12 in some embodiments of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the processing device 1 is used to paste the tape on the inner corner of the packaging box 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The processing equipment 1 will be described.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the processing equipment 1 includes a fixing seat 11 and at least one pasting device 12. The processing equipment 1 in this embodiment is used to paste the tape at the inner corner of the packaging box 2 to improve the structural strength of the packaging box 2. The packaging box 2 includes an open surface, and the inner corner of the packaging box 2 refers to the corner located inside the packaging box 2. For example, the packaging box 2 is roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, one surface is the open surface, the surface opposite to the open surface is the bottom surface, and the remaining surfaces are side surfaces. The 90° angle between two adjacent side surfaces in the packaging box 2 is an inner angle. The processing equipment 1 in this embodiment is used to paste the tape at the position of the inner corner, and the two ends of the tape are respectively pasted on the two adjacent side surfaces, and the tape is attached to the inner corner. In other embodiments, the 90° angle between the side surface and the bottom surface of the packaging box 2 can also be regarded as an inner angle, and the processing equipment 1 can paste the two ends of the tape on the side surface and the bottom surface of the packaging box 2.

[0034] The packaging box 2 is fixed in the fixing seat 11. For example, the fixing seat 11 maintains the position of the packaging box 2 by clamping, snapping, adsorption, etc. The fixing seat 11 makes the open surface of the packaging box 2 face in one direction, preferably upward, so that the sticking device 12 can extend into the packaging box 2 and stick the tape to the inner corner of the packaging box 2.

[0035] The sticking device 12 extends into the interior of the packaging box 2 and is used to stick the tape to the inner corners of the packaging box 2. Preferably, the packaging box 2 includes four inner corners (in this embodiment, the tape is only stuck at the inner corners between the four side faces), and the processing equipment 1 includes four sticking devices 12, and the four sticking devices 12 correspond to the four inner corners of the packaging box 2 respectively.

[0036] In other embodiments, the processing equipment 1 may also include a pasting device. In the case where the tape needs to be pasted on four inner corners, the tape can be pasted on one inner corner at a time and the pasting can be performed in sequence.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the pasting device 12 includes a first movable portion 121 and a second movable portion 122, and an adjustable angle is formed between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 are close to each other, and the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 can rotate outward or inward with the close end as the axis. When the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 rotate outward, the angle between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 increases. The opposite is true when the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 rotate inward. In different embodiments of the present invention, the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 are not limited to being connected to each other, and a gap may be formed between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122.

[0038] In other embodiments, the axis of relative rotation between the first movable part 121 and the second movable part 122 may also be located at other positions. For example, the first movable part 121 and the second movable part 122 rotate around their respective shape centers to adjust the angle between the first movable part 121 and the second movable part 122.

[0039] In some embodiments, one side of the tape is adhesive and the other side is non-adhesive. The ends of the tape can be attached to the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122, respectively, with the adhesive surface of the tape facing away from the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122. The ends of the tape can be attached to the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122, respectively. For example, the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 include suction devices that can adhere to the non-adhesive surface of the tape. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the non-adhesive surface of the tape is relatively smooth, and the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 are attached to the non-adhesive surface of the tape using a releasable adhesive. The first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 drive the tape in motion. When the tape is attached to the inner corner of the packaging box 2, the non-adhesive surface of the tape can separate from the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122, for example, by releasing the suction force of the suction device or by separating the adhesive between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 and the tape.

[0040] The first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 rotate relative to each other, adjusting the angle between them to correspond to the inner corner of the packaging box 2. For example, the angle between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 can be adjusted to be equal to or slightly larger than the inner corner of the packaging box 2, so that the adhesive surface of the tape can be attached to the inner corner of the packaging box 2. The ends of the tape are connected to the two sides of the packaging box 2, respectively, which can improve the structural strength of the packaging box 2.

[0041] Furthermore, a stopper may be provided between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 to limit the adjustment range of the angle between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122. In some embodiments, the inner angle of the packaging box 2 is 90°, and the angle between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 is set to a range of 70°-90°.

[0042] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surfaces of the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 facing the packaging box 2 are approximately flat, so that the tape can be evenly adhered to the inner corners of the packaging box 2, and at the same time, the pressure exerted by the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 on the side of the packaging box 2 is evenly distributed to prevent the packaging box 2 from being deformed or damaged.

[0043] In some embodiments, the sticking device 12 can move toward the inner corner of the packaging box 2 to apply pressure to the tape, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the tape and the side of the packaging box 2. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the fixing base 11 drives the packaging box 2 to move closer to the sticking device 12, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the tape and the side of the packaging box 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, the pasting device 12 is used to control the relative rotation of the first movable part 121 and the second movable part 122 to paste the tape on the inner corner of the packaging box 2, which does not affect the appearance of the packaging box 2 and does not require manual pasting by staff. Semi-automatic or fully automatic production can be achieved, which reduces labor costs, and can also ensure the stability of pasting and improve the yield of the product.

[0045] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the processing apparatus 1 further includes an adjustment device 13. The adjustment device 13 extends into the interior of the packaging box 2 and is capable of driving the adhesive tape to move relative to the packaging box 2 to adjust the position of the adhesive tape within the packaging box 2. For example, if the open surface of the packaging box 2 faces upward, the adjustment device 13 can be configured to drive the adhesive tape to move in a vertical direction to change the depth of the adhesive tape affixed to the packaging box 2 relative to the packaging box 2, thereby adjusting the position of the adhesive tape affixed to the packaging box 2.

[0046] In some embodiments, the processing equipment 1 is used to apply tape to the inner corners of a packaging box 2 with a greater depth. The adjustment device 13 is used to drive the tape to move along the depth direction of the packaging box 2. After the position of the tape is adjusted to a preset depth (relative to the depth of the packaging box 2), the tape is applied to the inner corners of the packaging box 2 using the applying device 12. Preferably, the height of the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 is set to be approximately equal to the depth of the packaging box 2. At different positions of the tape, both ends can be attached to the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122. At the same time, the contact area between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 and the side of the packaging box 2 can be increased to prevent the side of the packaging box 2 from being deformed or damaged.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the adjustment device 13 includes a cylinder 131 and an adsorption device (not shown in the figure). The cylinder 131 can be extended and retracted in the axial direction to drive the tape to move. The adsorption device adsorbs the tape, can place the tape on the pasting device 12, and makes the sticky surface of the tape face away from the first movable part 121 and the second movable part 122. For example, in some embodiments, the adsorption device includes a vacuum suction cup, or an electrostatic suction cup, which adsorbs the non-sticky surface of the tape, and the cylinder 131 drives the adsorption device to move so that the tape is close to the pasting device 12. After the tape is close to the pasting device 12, the adsorption device can remove the adsorption force on the tape so that the tape is placed on the pasting device 12. Preferably, the pasting device 12 also has a suction cup so that the tape can remain on the first movable part 121 and the second movable part 122 when it is not yet pasted on the packaging box 2.

[0048] In other embodiments of the present invention, the adhesive tape is retained on the sticking device 12, for example, with both ends of the adhesive tape adsorbed on the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122. The adjusting device 13 is in transmission connection with the sticking device 12, and the adjusting device 13 can drive the sticking device 12 to move, thereby driving the adhesive tape to move relative to the packaging box 2.

[0049] Furthermore, the adjusting device 13 drives the sticking device 12 to move out of the interior of the packaging box 2, and the tape can be installed on the sticking device 12 by other mechanical structures or manually by the operator. Then, the adjusting device 13 drives the sticking device 12 to move to a preset depth inside the packaging box 2, and the tape is stuck to the inner corner of the packaging box 2.

[0050] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the processing equipment 1 further includes a driving device 14. Figure 2 As shown, the driving device 14 is connected to at least one adhesive device 12, and the driving device 14 can drive the first movable part 121 and the second movable part 122 to rotate relative to each other so that the angle between the first movable part 121 and the second movable part 122 corresponds to the inner angle of the packaging box 2.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the attachment device 12 includes, for example, a rack 123, and the drive device 14 includes a motor 141 and a gear 142. Gear 142 is mounted on the output shaft of motor 141, and motor 141 drives gear 142 to rotate. Gear 142 meshes with rack 123. When gear 142 rotates, rack 123 slides, driving relative rotation between first movable portion 121 and second movable portion 122, thereby adjusting the angle between them.

[0052] In other embodiments, the drive device 14 and the pasting device 12 may be driven and connected by various means, such as a connecting rod, a lead screw, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. In some embodiments, the processing equipment 1 includes multiple pasting devices 12, and the drive device 14 can drive multiple pasting devices 12 simultaneously. Alternatively, the processing equipment 1 includes multiple pasting devices 12 and multiple drive devices 14, with each drive device 14 corresponding to each pasting device 12, and each drive device 14 being independently controlled.

[0053] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving device 14 also drives the pasting device 12 to approach the inner corner of the packaging box 2, so that the pasting device 12 drives the tape to be pasted on the packaging box 2. In some embodiments, the relative rotation of the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 and the movement of the pasting device 12 as a whole close to the packaging box 2 can be performed simultaneously. In other embodiments, the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 can be configured to trigger relative rotation by pressing, for example, a sensor or trigger mechanism is provided on the side of the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 facing the packaging box 2. When the driving device 14 drives the pasting device 12 to approach the inner corner of the packaging box 2, so that a force is generated between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 and the side of the packaging box 2, the sensor or trigger mechanism controls the relative rotation of the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122. The driving device 14 can provide power for resetting the angle between the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122, or after the pasting is completed, the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 can be manually controlled by an operator to reset.

[0054] Figure 4 The structure of the fixing base 11 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 4 The fixing seat 11 will be described.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the fixing base 11 includes a plurality of V-shaped grooves 111. The two inner side surfaces of the V-shaped grooves 111 correspond to the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122, respectively, and also match the outer corners of the packaging box 2. When the packaging box 2 is fixed in the fixing base 11, the outer corners of the packaging box 2 abut against the V-shaped grooves 111, and the two inner side surfaces of the V-shaped grooves 111 respectively fit the outer side surfaces of the packaging box 2. The number of V-shaped grooves 111 is equal to the number of outer corners of the packaging box 2.

[0056] When applying the tape, the first movable portion 121 and the second movable portion 122 adhere the tape to the inner side of the packaging box 2, while the two inner side surfaces of the V-shaped groove 111 abut against the outer side of the packaging box 2. Under the combined action of the fixing base 11 and the applying device 12, the tape is adhered to the inner corner of the packaging box 2.

[0057] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing base 11 includes four V-shaped grooves 111, and the packaging box 2 includes four external corners. The four V-shaped grooves 111 correspond one-to-one with the four external corners of the packaging box 2, and the four V-shaped grooves 111 are capable of relative movement, for example, driven by a motor or a cylinder, so that the packaging box 2 is clamped in the four V-shaped grooves 111 at the four external corners. The four V-shaped grooves 111 that can move relative to each other can be adapted to packaging boxes 2 of different sizes, thereby increasing the applicability of the processing equipment 1.

[0058] In other embodiments, the packaging box 2 is non-cuboid in shape, for example, one side of the packaging box 2 is curved. The fixing base 11 includes a supporting surface corresponding to the curved surface, and the V-shaped groove 111 and the supporting surface cooperate with each other to clamp the packaging box 2 in the fixing base 11 at its four outer corners.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
