The material box lifting assembly 7 also includes a limit plate 72 and a third cylinder 73. The limit plate 72 is movably connected to the two ends of the air-avoiding opening 62 through the third cylinder 73.

[0035] Specific examples Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, one end of the code box mechanism 2 is also provided with a clamping mechanism 3, which includes a lower pressure plate 31, a clamping baffle 32 and a driving member. The clamping baffle 32 is rotatably connected to one end of the lower pressure plate 31 close to the code box mechanism 2 through a rotating joint 322, and the other end of the clamping baffle 32 is provided with an upwardly protruding swing arm 321.

[0036] An automatic box packing and baling machine operates as follows: an external transport line sequentially transports blueberry boxes to the interior of two stacking guide rails 21. The boxes slide into the interior of the stacking guide rails 21 via the first pulley 22 on the surface of the stacking guide rails 21. After a corresponding number of blueberry boxes are stacked on the surface of the stacking guide rails 21, the second cylinder 33 first drives the swing arm 321 forward, causing the material blocking plate 32 to swing along the rotating joint 322 to the bottom of the lower pressure plate 31, so that the blueberry boxes on the external transport line stop outside the stacking guide rails 21.

[0037] At the same time, the packaging boxes in the material box conveying line 6 are moved to the clearance opening 62 by the conveying rollers 61, and the second servo electric cylinder 74 drives the extension frame 71 to lift the packaging boxes to the bottom of the lower feeding port 11. At the same time, the limiting plates 72 at both ends of the clearance opening 62 are extended to the inside of the material box conveying line 6 by the third cylinder 73, effectively limiting and blocking the packaging boxes behind.

[0038] The servo electric cylinder then drives the suction plate 42 to move downward to one side of the stacking box guide rail 21, and the negative pressure generated by the suction head 421 sucks and lifts the blueberry box, so that the blueberry box is separated from the stacking box guide rail 21;

[0039] Finally, the first cylinder 233 drives the slider 232 to move along the guide rail 231, so that the two parallel stacking box guide rails 21 separate toward both sides along the center of the discharge port 11. The servo cylinder then extends the suction plate 42 with the blueberry box downward through the discharge port 11 to the bottom of the stacking box workbench 1 for packing.

[0040] After the packing is completed, the second servo electric cylinder 74 drives the extension frame 71 downward to be embedded in the inside of the air-avoiding opening 62 again, the bottom surface of the packaging box collides with the transport roller 61, and the third cylinder 73 drives the limit plate 72 to reset, and the packaging box moves forward through the transport roller 61, completing the stacking and packing work of an automatic packing and baling machine.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention is disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
