[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a box packing device includes a frame 1, a feeding device 2, a gripping device 3, a box supporting device 4, and a positioning device 5 connected to the frame 1. The gripping device 3 and the box supporting device 4 are both located on top of the feeding device 2. In this embodiment, the gripping device 3 is used to grip objects; the box supporting device 4 is used to open the box and is located on one side of the gripping device 3. This arrangement facilitates the gripping device 3 to clamp objects into the box.

[0038] The feeding device 2 includes a plurality of rollers rotatably connected to the frame 1 and a drive motor for controlling the rotation of the rollers. The drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1. The output end of the drive motor in this embodiment is connected to a gear, and the other end of the gear is engaged with the roller. The motor transmits torque through the gear, thereby driving the roller to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of transporting items.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the positioning device 5 is movably connected to the bottom of the frame 1 and inserted between the rollers, and is used to push the objects on the rollers so that the objects are clamped and positioned between the positioning device 5 and the frame 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is provided with a slide rail at the bottom, onto which a positioning device 5 is slidably connected. The positioning device 5 comprises a slider, a movable plate, support rods, a push plate, and a drive cylinder. The slider is slidably connected to the top of the slide rail and is connected to the output end of the drive cylinder. The top of the slider is screwed to the movable plate, which in turn is screwed to multiple support rods. The support rods extend upright between the rollers and to the top of the rollers. The push plate is screwed to the top of the support rods. By adopting this solution, the drive cylinder can be used to move the positioning device 5 left and right on the slide rail, thereby pushing the items on the rollers to the designated position.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottoms of the box supporting device 4 and the clamping device 3 are both provided with positioning devices 5 .

[0042] Among them, a movable stopper is provided at the front end of the positioning device 5 at the bottom of the box supporting device 4, and the movable stopper includes a movable baffle and a cylinder for driving the movable baffle to perform lifting and lowering movements. The movable baffle is inserted between the two rollers. When it rises to the top of the roller, it can be used to block the transportation of the box body on the roller of the box supporting device 4, and prevent the transported items from affecting the work of the box supporting and clamping device 3 behind.

[0043] In addition, a fixed stopper is provided at the rear end of the positioning device 5 at the bottom of the clamping device 3. The fixed stopper includes a fixed baffle, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1 and extends to the top of the roller. It can be used to block the transportation of items to be boxed on the roller and prevent the transported items from moving to the bottom of the box supporting device 4.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 is movably connected to a lifting device 6, which is inserted between the rollers and is used to lift items on the rollers. The lifting device 6 in this embodiment includes a threaded lifting rod, a drive device for driving the lifting rod to move up and down, a fixed plate, and several lifting plates. The drive device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1, the lifting rod is connected to the output end of the drive device, and a horizontal lifting plate is fixedly connected to a certain side of the lifting rod away from the drive device. The fixed plate is vertical and fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate and inserted between the rollers. The drive device can be driven by a motor, a hydraulic drive, or a pneumatic drive.

[0045] Through the above scheme, the driving device can control the lifting movement of the lifting rod, and drive the lifting plate and the fixed plate on the top of the lifting rod to move up and down, so that the fixed plate is lowered to the bottom of the roller or raised to the top of the roller, so that the box on the roller contacts or moves away from the roller surface and stops the transmission of subsequent boxes. At the same time, the cartoning machine can adapt to boxes of different heights, so that the items to be packed can be accurately placed in the box.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 is connected to a pushing device 7 , which is located at the top of the lifting device 6 .

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pushing device 7 includes a mounting frame A71 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, a lateral motion component A72 connected to the mounting frame A71, and a vertical motion component A73 movably connected to the lateral motion component A72. A pushing component 74 is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical motion component A73. The pushing component 74 is used to push the objects on the lifting device 6;

[0048] The lateral motion component A72 of this embodiment includes a stopper A and a transmission component A; the transmission component A is located at the top of the mounting frame A71, the stopper A is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame A71 and is located on one side of the transmission component A; the stopper A is provided with a positioning plate A, and a gap is provided between the positioning plate A and the stopper A. The vertical motion component A73 is arranged around the outer periphery of the positioning plate A and is connected to the transmission component A. The transmission component A is used to control the lateral movement of the vertical motion component A73 on the positioning plate A.

[0049] The vertical motion assembly A73 of this embodiment includes a fixed column, a slide, and a motor for driving the slide. The vertical motion assembly A73 is mounted on the periphery of the positioning plate A via a fixed column. A slide rail is provided on the outside of the fixed column, and the slide slide is slidably connected to the rail. A push assembly 74 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide and has a camera 75 fixedly connected to the bottom for identifying items. Through this solution, adjusting the position of the fixed column on the mounting plate can adjust the lateral position of the push assembly 74 on the frame 1, and controlling the position of the slide on the fixed column can adjust the vertical position of the push assembly 74 on the frame 1. This allows the push assembly 74 to flexibly and precisely adjust its push position according to the size of the box.

[0050] The pushing device of the present embodiment comprises a pushing plate and a cylinder for driving the pushing plate. The pushing device can complete the pushing work through the above-mentioned design.

[0051] The frame 1 is movably connected to a pushing device 8, which is located on one side of the lifting device 6 and is used to push objects to the top of the lifting device 6. The pushing direction of the pushing device 8 is opposite to the pushing direction of the pushing device 7.

[0052] The pushing device 8 of this embodiment includes a pushing plate and a cylinder for driving the pushing plate. Through the cooperation between the bottom pushing device 8 and the pushing device 7 at the opposite high position, it is suitable for correcting the position of boxes of various specifications and sizes, facilitating the subsequent operations of the cartoning machine.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the box supporting device 4 includes two box supporting assemblies 41 arranged diagonally to each other.

[0054] The box support assembly 41 includes a mounting frame B411 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, a lateral motion assembly B412 movably connected to the mounting frame, and a vertical motion assembly B413 movably connected to the lateral motion assembly B412. A box support plate group 414 is movably connected to one side of the vertical motion assembly B413.

[0055] The lateral motion component B412 of this embodiment includes a stopper B and a transmission component B; the transmission component B is located at the top of the mounting frame B411, the stopper B is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame B411 and is located on one side of the transmission component B; the stopper B is provided with a positioning plate B, and a gap is provided between the positioning plate B and the stopper B. The vertical motion component B413 is arranged around the outer periphery of the positioning plate B and is connected to the transmission component B. The transmission component B is used to control the lateral movement of the vertical motion component B413 on the positioning plate B.

[0056] Vertical motion assembly B413 comprises stopper 1 and transmission assembly 1. Stopper 1 is arranged around the periphery of positioning plate B, perpendicular to stopper B. Stopper 1 is screwed to positioning plate 1, with a gap between them. A box support plate assembly 414 is arranged around the periphery of positioning plate 1, passing through the gap. This arrangement allows box support assembly 41 to exert opposing forces at the angles between the box's diagonals, helping to maintain the box's shape and structure and rapidly expand it. Simultaneously, the position of box support plate assembly 414 is adjusted via lateral motion assembly B412 and vertical motion assembly B413 on the box support device 4, allowing for the expansion of boxes of varying sizes.

[0057] The box supporting plate group 414 of this embodiment includes a fixed block and two box supporting plates. The two box supporting plates correspond to two adjacent box pages in the fixed block respectively. The fixed block ring is arranged in the gap between the positioning plate 1 and the stop block 1. The two box supporting plates correspond to two adjacent box pages at the corner position of the box body. The box supporting plate rotates into the packaging carton to support the box pages of the carton from the inside to the outside.

[0058] Through the above solution, the degree of automation of the packing process can be improved, manual operations can be reduced, and efficiency can be improved. At the same time, the consistency and accuracy of the cartons can be ensured, avoiding carton damage or inconsistency caused by manual box support.

[0059] like Figure 3As shown, the clamping device 3 includes a mounting frame C31 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, a lateral motion component C32 movably connected to the mounting frame, and a vertical motion component C33 movably connected to the lateral motion component C32, and a plurality of claw clamps 34 are movably connected to the bottom of the vertical motion component C33.

[0060] The lateral motion component C32 of this embodiment includes a stopper C and a transmission component C; the transmission component C is located at the top of the mounting frame C31, the stopper C is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame C31 and is located on one side of the transmission component C; the stopper C is provided with a positioning plate C, and a gap is provided between the positioning plate C and the stopper C. The vertical motion component C33 is arranged around the outer periphery of the positioning plate C and is connected to the transmission component C. The transmission component C is used to control the lateral movement of the vertical motion component C33 on the positioning plate C.

[0061] The vertical motion assembly C33 comprises a second stopper and a second transmission assembly. The second stopper is located around the periphery of the positioning plate C, perpendicular to the second stopper. The second stopper is screwed to the second positioning plate, with a gap between them. A horizontal block is positioned around the outer edge of this gap, and a slide rail is installed at the bottom of the horizontal block. The claw 34 is slidably connected to the slide rail. This arrangement allows the gripping device 3 to be equipped with multiple claws 34, enabling it to grasp multiple items at once, improving the machine's efficiency. The gripping device 3 also allows for both horizontal and vertical movement, allowing for repositioning and facilitating autonomous packing.

[0062] The transmission assembly of this embodiment includes a motor and a reducer, both of which are fixed by screws. The motor is used to drive the components to move horizontally or vertically. The reducer is used to increase the torque output of the motor to ensure that the moving parts can move smoothly and accurately.
