[0002] Patent document CN114789805A discloses an automatic packaging system for flexible container bags. The automatic hooking device in the system mainly opens the bag mouth of the container bag with four corner ears, inserts the inner bag mouth into the swing arm bagging mechanism and clamps both sides of the bag mouth, rotates the container bag to the discharge port, bags the bag and clamps the bag mouth and then lifts it upward, and then inflates the container bag. At this time, two movable plates rotate to clamp the lower part of the container bag, and finally the four hooks on the automatic hooking device are driven by the cylinder to swing and respectively hook the four corner ears of the container bag to complete the hooking action; the above-mentioned automatic hooking device is prone to cause the relative position of the container bag itself and the automatic hooking device to deflect after the container bag is inflated and the passive plate is clamped and fixed. When the four hooks start the hooking action at the same time, the hooking of the ears will fail; in addition, the relative position of the bag clamping mechanism and the automatic hooking device of the device remains unchanged. When the container bag is clamped and lifted, the four corner ears of the ton bag are in the shape of a circle. Figure 2 In the natural drooping state shown, when the four hook bodies swing and hook at the same time, the lifting lugs cannot smoothly enter the hook bodies to complete the lifting action of the lifting lugs and hooking.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0009] A. The bag-holding mechanism 2 clamps and secures the inflated ton bag A. The belt clamping mechanism 3 clamps the bag body of ton bag A. The machine vision system 8 identifies and locates the bag body to confirm the positional deviation of ton bag A. The control system controls the forward and reverse conveying of the conveyor belt mechanism 31 and accurately corrects the deviation through the friction between the conveyor belt and the bag body of ton bag A. This allows the four corner lifting ears C to be adjusted to positions that allow the four hook mechanisms 53 to hook the bag, thus avoiding the problem of hooking failure of the lifting ears C.

[0010] B. The hook mechanism 53 is configured as a liftable structure. The hook 535 first descends and swings to directly below the lifting lug C. Then, as the hook 535 rises, the lifting lug C falls into the hook 535. This allows the lifting lugs C at the four corners of the ton bag A to be hooked when they are naturally drooping after the ton bag A is lifted, thus meeting the hooking requirements of the lifting lugs C on the ton bag A in different states.

[0011] C. The bag holding mechanism 2 swings to clamp the four corners of the lower part of the inflated ton bag A, which can first fix the lower part of the ton bag A, thereby ensuring the accuracy of recognition and positioning by the machine vision system 8.

[0012] D. The inward and outward swinging motion of the swinging hanger 533 on the hook mechanism 53 can swing the hook 535 to the pre-hooking position of the lifting lug C. The downward rotation of the hook 535 can realize the unhooking action, and the swinging locking action of the swinging lock block 537 can prevent the lifting lug C from accidentally unhooking. The overall design of the hook mechanism 53 is compact and occupies little space, which improves the reliability of the hooking and unhooking actions of the lifting lug C.
