DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 A packaging device for an automobile thermostat assembly includes a conveyor belt 1 and a carton 2. Brackets 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 1. A correction rod 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 3. The correction rod 5 consists of a horizontal rod and an inclined rod. The horizontal rod in the correction rod 5 is parallel to the bracket 3. One end of the inclined rod in the correction rod 5 is inclined toward the middle of the conveyor belt 1. A box cover 1 21 and a box cover 2 22 are respectively provided on the top of the carton 2. The length of the box cover 22 is greater than that of the box cover 1 21. A smearing component 4 is installed on the bracket 3. When the box cover 22 is in a vertical state, its top corresponds to the smearing component 4.

[0023] Specifically, when the carton 2 is transported on the conveyor belt 1, the correction rods 5 on the two side brackets 3 will adjust the state of the carton 2. Since the tilting rods of the correction rods 5 are tilted toward the middle of the conveyor belt 1, as the carton 2 moves forward, the longer box cover 22 will gradually come into contact with the tilting rods and transform into a vertical state under their guidance. When the carton 2 continues to move with the conveyor belt 1 and the box cover 22 is in a vertical state, its top just corresponds to the coating component 4. As the conveyor belt 1 runs, the carton 2 continues to move forward, and the box cover 22 and the coating component 4 move relative to each other. During this process, the coating component 4 and the box cover 22 come into contact and squeeze each other, so that the paint in the coating component 4 is applied to the surface of the box cover 22, thereby realizing the coating action.

[0024] After the box cover 22 on the carton 2 is coated, during packaging, the box cover 22 is folded under the box cover 1 21 so that the box cover 22 and the box cover 1 21 can be adhered to each other through the coating to complete the packaging. At the same time, brackets 3 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 1, so that the carton 2 can complete the adhesion of the coating through the coating components 4 on the corresponding brackets 3 regardless of whether it is placed forward or reverse.

[0025] Example 2: To achieve uniform coating, please refer to Figures 1-4 On the basis of Example 1, the smearing assembly 4 includes a sleeve 41, the sleeve 41 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 3, the sleeve 41 is connected to a feed pipe 42, and the feed pipe 42 inside the sleeve 41 is made of PVC;

[0026] A partition 411 is provided inside the sleeve 41, and the feed pipe 42 passes through the partition 411. A spring 412 is connected to one side of the partition 411, and the partition 411 is connected to the smear rack 43 through the spring 412.

[0027] A smear brush 44 is rotatably mounted on one end of the smear rack 43;

[0028] A material storage trough 434 is provided inside the smear rack 43. The material storage trough 434 is connected to the smear brush 44 through a discharge pipe 431. The discharge pipe 431 is connected to an inclined chute 432. A ball 433 is slidably mounted inside the chute 432. The diameter of the ball 433 is larger than the diameter of the discharge pipe 431.

[0029] A connecting frame 435 is fixedly installed inside the storage trough 434, and a connecting rod 437 is slidably installed in the connecting frame 435. A ball 438 is fixedly provided at one end of the connecting rod 437 close to the feeding pipe 42, and the other end of the connecting rod 437 is connected to the connecting frame 435 through a spring 2 436.

[0030] Specifically, one end of the feed tube 42 is fixedly connected with a push plate, and the push plate fits against the inner wall of the storage tank 434. When the box cover 22 squeezes the smear rack 43, the smear rack 43 moves inside the sleeve 41 toward the partition 411, thereby squeezing the spring 1 412, and at the same time driving the ball 438 at one end of the connecting rod 437 to connect with one end of the feed tube 42. When the smear rack 43 continues to move, the connecting rod 437 stops moving due to the influence of the feed tube 42, and then when the smear rack 43 moves, the spring 2 436 will be stretched, and when the smear rack 43 moves, it can cause the push plate to move relative to the storage tank 434. The paint in the storage tank 434 is squeezed into the discharge pipe 431 by the movement. After the paint enters the discharge pipe 431, the ball 433 is pushed to move upward along the inclined slide 432, so that the paint is discharged from one end of the discharge pipe 431 and attached to the smear brush 44. When the carton 2 is driven by the conveyor belt 1, the friction between the box cover 22 and the smear brush 44 drives the smear brush 44 to rotate, thereby continuously applying the discharged paint to the box cover 22;

[0031] After the box cover 22 moves out of the area of ​​the coating component 4, the coating rack 43 loses the squeezing of the box cover 22, the spring 1 412 returns to its original state, and pushes the coating rack 43 to move toward the coating brush 44. At the same time, the ball 433 falls into the discharge pipe 431 under the action of gravity, preventing the paint from being discharged from the discharge pipe 431. During the continuous movement of the coating rack 43, the connecting rack 435 is driven to gradually move to the initial position, prompting the spring 2 436 to contract and causing the ball 438 to separate from one end of the feed pipe 42. As the coating rack 43 continues to move, the internal space of the storage tank 434 gradually increases under the relative movement of the push plate, causing the interior of the storage tank 434 to gradually tend to a negative pressure state. Then, when the ball 438 is separated from one end of the feed pipe 42, the paint is automatically replenished from the feed pipe 42 into the storage tank 434.

[0032] Working Principle: Cartons 2 are placed on conveyor belt 1 for transportation. Straightening rods 5 are installed on top of brackets 3 on both sides of conveyor belt 1. These rods consist of horizontal rods and tilting rods that tilt toward the center of conveyor belt 1. During the transportation of carton 2, the longer cover 22 contacts the tilting rods and gradually moves toward a vertical position under their guidance, allowing the cover 22 to be in the correct posture for subsequent coating operations.

[0033] When the box cover 22 is in a vertical state and moves with the carton 2 to the position corresponding to the coating component 4, the box cover 22 squeezes the coating rack 43 as the carton 2 continues to move forward. The coating rack 43 moves in the direction of the partition 411 in the sleeve 41, squeezing the spring 1 412, and at the same time drives the ball 438 at one end of the connecting rod 437 to connect with one end of the feed tube 42. As the coating rack 43 moves further, the connecting rod 437 stops moving due to the influence of the feed tube 42, and the spring 2 436 is stretched. During this process, the push plate at one end of the feed tube 42 moves relatively in the storage trough 434, squeezing the paint in the storage trough 434 into the discharge tube 431, pushing the ball 433 to move upward along the inclined chute 432, and the paint is discharged from one end of the discharge tube 431 and attached to the rotating coating brush 44. The friction between the box cover 22 and the coating brush 44 drives the coating brush 44 to rotate, thereby evenly coating the paint on the box cover 22;

[0034] When the second box cover 22 moves out of the coating assembly 4 area, the coating rack 43 loses its compression, the spring 1 412 returns to its original state, and pushes the coating rack 43 to move toward the coating brush 44. The ball 433 falls back to the discharge pipe 431 under the action of gravity, preventing the coating from being discharged. During the movement of the coating rack 43, the connecting rack 435 is driven back to its initial position, the spring 2 436 contracts, the ball 438 separates from one end of the feed pipe 42, and the internal space of the storage tank 434 increases due to the relative movement of the push plate, forming a negative pressure, and the coating is automatically replenished into the storage tank 434 from the feed pipe 42. After the box cover 22 completes the coating, it is folded under the box cover 1 21 during packaging, and the packaging is completed through coating adhesion. And because there are brackets 3 and coating assemblies 4 on both sides of the conveyor belt 1, the box cover 22 can complete the coating adhesion regardless of whether the carton 2 is placed forward or reverse.

[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention.
