[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model and do not limit the utility model.

[0034] Figure 1 The structure schematic view of the box forming device provided by the embodiment of the utility model Figure 2 The structure schematic view of the box body formed by the box forming device provided by the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 3 The structure schematic view of the carrier of the box forming device provided by the embodiment of the utility model. As Figures 1-3 Indicated, the box forming device provided by the embodiment of the utility model, including carrier box body conveying module 100 and carrier backflow module 200, carrier box body conveying module 100 is used to convey carrier 300 along the first direction, in the process of being conveyed by carrier box body conveying module 100, the box body 400 carried by the carrier 300 is put into material and is covered with cover body, and the direction of conveying carrier 300 of carrier backflow module 200 is opposite to the first direction.

[0035] Conveying carrier 300 along the first direction by carrier box body conveying module 100 can utilize carrier 300 to carry box body 400 to move together. Generally speaking, because box body 400 is paperboard, paper sheet that is easy to fold, so the rigidity of carrier 300 is generally significantly greater than the rigidity of box body 400. Thus when box body 400 is carried by carrier 300 and is conveyed by carrier box body conveying module 100, the deformation of box body 400 can be significantly reduced, the smoothness of box body 400 when transporting is improved, and the integrity of box body 400 after packaging is beneficial to guarantee. Moreover, folding box body 400 and putting material are carried out in an automatic manner, which reduces the work burden of operating personnel on the one hand and improves the reliability of folding box body 400 and placing material on the other hand.

[0036] Figure 4 The partial schematic view of the box forming device carrier box body conveying module provided by the embodiment of the utility model, whereinFigure 4 The cover plate maintaining mechanism is omitted in the utility model. Figure 5 A partial schematic view of the box forming device carrier box body conveying module from another direction is provided for the embodiments of the utility model, wherein Figure 5 The side edge limiting mechanism is omitted in the utility model. As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 Optionally, the carrier box body conveying module 100 comprises a carrier conveying mechanism 110 and a carrier positioning mechanism 120, the carrier conveying mechanism 110 is used for conveying the carrier 300 along the first direction, the carrier positioning mechanism 120 comprises a carrier positioning drive 122 and a carrier positioning piece 121 which is in transmission connection with the carrier positioning drive 122, and the carrier positioning piece 121 positions the position of the carrier 300 in the first direction through the concave-convex structure; the concave-convex structure comprises a first convex part and a first concave part 311, one of the two is located at the carrier positioning piece 121 and the other is located at the carrier 300.

[0037] By setting the carrier positioning mechanism 120 and the concave-convex structure on the carrier positioning piece 121 and the carrier 300, when the carrier 300 runs to the station which needs to be operated, the carrier positioning drive 122 extends to push the carrier positioning piece 121 to move towards the carrier 300, so as to position the position of the carrier 300 in the first direction through the concave-convex structure.

[0038] Specifically, in the embodiment, the carrier positioning drive 122 can be a cylinder which is fixedly arranged opposite to the base 500, and the extension direction of the cylinder is perpendicular to the first direction. For example, the carrier positioning drive 122 can be fixedly installed on a carrier positioning support 123, and the carrier positioning support 123 is fixed on the base 500. Two magnetic switches can be arranged on the cylinder so as to cooperate with the magnetic ring on the piston of the cylinder to detect the movement position of the piston relative to the cylinder. If the magnetic switch which is far away from the carrier positioning piece 121 detects the magnetic ring on the piston, it indicates that the cylinder is in a relatively retracted state, that is, the carrier positioning piece 121 cannot position the carrier 300, in other words, the carrier positioning piece 121 will not block the movement of the carrier 300, and the movement of the carrier 300 in the first direction will not be hindered by the carrier positioning piece 121. If the magnetic switch which is close to the carrier positioning piece 121 detects the magnetic ring on the piston, it indicates that the cylinder is in a relatively extended state, that is, the carrier positioning piece 121 extends to position the carrier 300.

[0039] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first recess 311 is arranged on the outer surface of the side wall of the carrier 300, which is parallel to the first direction. The first protrusion is arranged on the carrier positioning member 121, which can be a trapezoidal protrusion. With such an arrangement, although the first protrusion is arranged on the carrier positioning member 121, the distance required for the first protrusion to be separated from the first recess 311 to not interfere with the operation of the carrier 300 can be compensated by the driving of the carrier positioning driving member 122. Therefore, the arrangement can reduce the overall width of the carrier 300, which is the dimension of the carrier 300 perpendicular to the first direction, and further reduce the width of the carrier conveying mechanism 110.

[0040] As shown in Figure 4 Optionally, the carrier box conveying module 100 comprises a side edge limiting mechanism 130, the carrier 300 carries the box 400, the box 400 has opposite first side walls 410; the side edge limiting mechanism 130 is arranged above the carrier conveying mechanism 110, and the side edge limiting mechanism 130 comprises a side edge limiting member 131 arranged above the first side wall 410, which is used to block the first cover plate 420 connected to the upper edge of the first side wall 410 from tilting to the center position of the box 400.

[0041] By arranging the side edge limiting mechanism 130, the first cover plate 420 on the upper edge of the first side wall 410 of the box 400 carried by the carrier 300 can be prevented from tilting to the center position of the box 400, so that when the material is put into the box 400, the first cover plate 420 will not interfere with the material, so that the material to be put in can be completely put into the box 400.

[0042] The side edge limiting mechanism 130 comprises a side edge limiting member 131, which is installed on a side edge limiting support 132, and the side edge limiting support 132 is installed on a base 500. The side edge limiting member 131 is provided with a horizontal notch portion 1313 extending perpendicular to the first direction, which can change the horizontal position of the side edge limiting member 131 relative to the side edge limiting support 132; and the side edge limiting support 132 is provided with a waist-shaped hole extending in the vertical direction, which can change the height position of the side edge limiting support 132.

[0043] Specifically, in the embodiment, the side edge limiting member 131 can be a bent plate, more specifically, the side edge limiting member 131 comprises a horizontal portion 1311 and a longitudinal portion 1312, the horizontal portion 1311 is provided with the horizontal notch portion 1313, which is used to connect the side edge limiting support 132. The longitudinal portion 1312 extends substantially in the vertical direction, wherein substantially in the vertical direction, the angle between the vertical line and the vertical direction can be less than or equal to 30°.

[0044] In the embodiment, the box body 400 is rectangular, the short side of the rectangle is parallel to the first direction, and the first side wall 410 is the side wall where the short side of the rectangle is located when viewed in the top-down direction. The side edge limiting mechanism 130 is provided, so that when the box body 400 is conveyed by the carrier 300, the short side, i.e., the first side wall 410 connected to the first cover plate 420, is blocked outside the top opening area of the box body 400 by the side edge limiting member 131, and remains in an outwardly inclined state.

[0045] Figure 6 A partial structure schematic diagram of a downstream part of a box forming device provided in the embodiment of the utility model is shown in the figure, Figure 6 The side edge limiting mechanism is omitted in the figure. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, optionally, the carrier box body conveying module 100 further comprises a cover plate maintaining mechanism 140, the box body 400 has opposite second side walls 430, the second side walls 430 are the side walls on the upstream side and the downstream side of the box body 400 in the first direction, and the upper edges of the second side walls 430 are provided with second cover plates 440; the cover plate maintaining mechanism 140 is arranged opposite to the carrier positioning mechanism 120, and the cover plate maintaining mechanism 140 is used for applying an acting force to the second cover plates 440 to make the second cover plates 440 away from the inside of the box body 400.

[0046] By arranging the cover plate maintaining mechanism 140, when the carrier 300 carries the box body 400 to move to a corresponding station, for example, to a position where materials are put into the box body 400, the second cover plates 440 on the upstream side and the downstream side in the first direction are opened outward, so that the top opening position of the box body 400 is completely open, and the second cover plates 440 will not block the materials from being put into the box body 400.

[0047] In the figure, the cover plate maintaining mechanism 140 comprises two cover plate poking swing rods 141, and each cover plate poking swing rod 141 is independently connected to a poking driving member 142. Specifically, the poking driving member 142 in the embodiment can be a rotary air cylinder, the power output end of the rotary air cylinder is connected to the cover plate poking swing rod 141, and the rotary air cylinder outputs rotary motion. When the carrier 300 carries the box body 400 to move in the first direction, the two cover plate poking swing rods 141 are located outside the movement space of the second cover plates 440, and when the carrier 300 carries the box body 400 to move to a corresponding station, after the carrier 300 is positioned by the carrier positioning mechanism 120, the cover plate poking swing rods 141 swing under the action of the poking driving members 142. Whether the second cover plates 440 block part of the opening of the box body 400 at this time or not, the second cover plates 440 can be poked outward to make the second cover plates 440 move to the outside of the opening of the box body 400, i.e., respectively to the upstream side in the first direction and the downstream side in the first direction, so as to ensure that the materials are not blocked by the second cover plates 440 when being put into the box body 400.

[0048] More specifically, the two cover plates in this embodiment do not have the same height, and the two cover plate driving levers 141 can overlap in the up-down direction during movement of the carrier 300 and the box body 400, thereby reducing the space occupied.

[0049] Of course, in another implementation, the two cover plate driving levers 141 can use the same driving member 142, for example, a cylinder with two pistons extending in opposite directions. The action output end of the cylinder is different from the pivot position of the two cover plate driving levers 141, and the end of the two cover plate driving levers 141 is fixed with respect to the base 500. When the cylinder extends, the two cover plate driving levers 141 swing outward to push the two second cover plates 440 outward. In this implementation, when the carrier 300 moves the box body 400, the two cover plate driving levers 141 can overlap in the up-down direction, but cannot be collinear, otherwise it may not be able to move due to the dead point. That is, the two pivot positions of the driving levers 141 and the center of rotation form an isosceles trapezoid. The extension of the cylinder as the driving member 142 can cause one of the two parallel sides of the isosceles trapezoid to change in length, thereby driving the cover plate driving levers 141 as the two sides to move.

[0050] The cover plate maintaining mechanism 140 is arranged on the opposite side of the cover plate positioning mechanism, which can avoid interference between the cover plate maintaining mechanism 140 and the carrier positioning mechanism 120, and fully utilize the space on both sides of the carrier 300 and the box body 400.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3 Optionally, the carrier 300 is provided with a first hollow portion 312, which penetrates the bottom of the carrier 300 in the up-down direction. The carrier box body conveying module 100 further comprises a suction mechanism 150, which comprises a suction lifting assembly and a first suction disc 151 arranged on the suction lifting assembly. The suction lifting assembly is arranged on the inner side wall of the carrier box body conveying module 100 in the vertical direction. After the suction lifting assembly is raised, the first suction disc 151 is configured to pass through the first hollow portion 312 and suck the box body 400.

[0052] By setting the first suction disc 151 to pass through the first hollow part 312 at the bottom of the carrier 300, the bottom of the box body 400 can be adsorbed by the suction disc, so as to realize the common movement with the box body 400 when the carrier 300 moves, on the one hand, the carrier 300 can be used to limit the shape of the box body 400, and the shape of the box body 400 can be prevented from changing during the box loading process, so as to facilitate the smooth loading of various materials into the box body 400, and in addition, the box body 400 can be prevented from being separated from the carrier 300 due to the vibration of the machine or other accidental interference factors during the movement of the carrier 300.

[0053] The carrier conveying mechanism 110 comprises a linear module 111 arranged outside the base 500, and more specifically, the linear module 111 can be a screw module. The power output end of the linear module 111 is provided with a driving lever 112, the driving lever 112 is inserted into a horizontal moving base plate 113 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction, the horizontal moving base plate 113 is provided with a horizontal guide rail 114, the horizontal guide rail 114 is connected with a horizontal sliding seat, and the horizontal sliding seat is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the base 500.

[0054] Figure 7 A partial structure schematic view of a downstream part of the box forming device according to the embodiment of the present application is provided. Figure 8 A partial schematic view of the carrier box conveying module of the box forming device according to the embodiment of the present application is provided. Figure 7 And Figure 8 As shown in the figures, the adsorption lifting assembly comprises an adsorption lifting base plate 152, the adsorption lifting base plate 152 is provided with a vertical guide rail 153, the vertical guide rail 153 is connected with a vertical sliding seat, and the vertical sliding seat is installed on the horizontal moving base plate 113. That is, the lifting adsorption assembly and the inner side of the carrier box conveying module 100 are oppositely arranged along the vertical moving direction. The adsorption lifting base plate 152 is also connected with the power output end of an adsorption driving member 155, and the adsorption driving member 155 is installed on the horizontal moving base plate 113, wherein the adsorption driving member 155 can be a lifting cylinder. In the embodiment, a plurality of adsorption lifting base plates 152 can be arranged, and the lifting of the adsorption lifting base plates 152 is controlled by the adsorption driving member 155. Moreover, a positioning pin 116 is also installed on the adsorption lifting base plate 152, the positioning pin 116 is inserted into the positioning hole 314 at the bottom of the carrier 300, so as to drive the carrier 300 to move.

[0055] When it is needed to drive the carrier 300 to move along the first direction, the suction driving member 155 drives the suction lifting base plate 152 to rise, and the suction lifting base plate 152 moves upward under the cooperation of the vertical guide rail 153 and the vertical slide. The positioning pin 116 is inserted into the positioning hole 314 at the bottom of the carrier 300, and the carrier 300 can move along the first direction together with the suction lifting base plate 152. At the same time, the first suction disc 151 also suctions the bottom surface of the box body 400.

[0056] Then, the linear module 111 of the carrier 300 driving mechanism outputs power along the first direction, drives the horizontal moving base plate 113 to move through the driving of the driving rod 112, and the horizontal moving base plate 113 can only move horizontally under the limitation of the horizontal guide rail 114 and the horizontal slide installed on the inner side surface of the base 500. The horizontal moving base plate 113 drives the suction lifting base plate 152 to move through the vertical guide rail 153 and the vertical slide, and then the positioning pin 116 drives the carrier 300 to move, and the carrier 300 drives the box body 400 to move.

[0057] When the carrier 300 moves to the next station and is positioned by the carrier positioning mechanism 120, the suction driving member 155 drives the suction lifting base plate 152 to descend, and the suction lifting base plate 152 moves downward under the cooperation of the vertical guide rail 153 and the vertical slide. The positioning pin 116 is extracted from the positioning hole 314 at the bottom of the carrier 300, and the carrier 300 no longer moves together with the suction lifting base plate 152. At the same time, the first suction disc 151 releases the suction of the bottom surface of the box body 400.

[0058] The linear module 111 outputs power in the reverse direction along the first direction, drives the horizontal moving base plate 113 to move through the driving of the driving rod 112, and the horizontal moving base plate 113 can only move horizontally under the limitation of the horizontal guide rail 114 and the horizontal slide installed on the inner side surface of the base 500. The horizontal moving base plate 113 drives the suction lifting base plate 152 to move through the vertical guide rail 153 and the vertical slide, and returns to the initial position of the action, so as to be ready for the next time when it is needed to drive the next carrier 300 to move.

[0059] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 4 Optionally, the carrier 300 is provided with a second hollow part 315 penetrating through the bottom of the carrier 300 along the up-down direction; the carrier box body conveying module 100 further comprises a carrier in-place detection mechanism 160, and the carrier in-place detection mechanism 160 comprises a carrier in-place detection sensor 161, which is arranged in the up-down direction in correspondence with the second hollow part 315 when the carrier 300 is positioned by the carrier positioning mechanism 120.

[0060] In this way, when the second hollow part 315 of the carrier 300 is opposite to the carrier-in-place detection sensor 161 in the up-down direction, the carrier-in-place detection sensor 161 can detect the second hollow part 315, and the position of the carrier 300 can be determined approximately, so that when the carrier positioning mechanism 120 positions the carrier 300, the displacement of the carrier 300 can be reduced, and the stability of system operation is improved.

[0061] The carrier-in-place detection sensor 161 can be a reflective photoelectric sensor, which can be installed in the base 500 through a sensor support. When the carrier-in-place detection sensor 161 detects the second hollow part 315, the bottom of the box body 400 above the second hollow part 315 can be detected. However, the distance from the bottom of the box body 400 to the carrier-in-place detection sensor 161 is different from the distance from the bottom of the carrier 300 to the carrier-in-place detection sensor 161, so that the distance difference can be used to distinguish whether the bottom of the carrier 300 or the bottom of the box body 400 is detected by the carrier-in-place detection sensor 161.

[0062] Figure 9 The structure diagram of the box forming device is shown in the figure. Figure 9 The box forming device can further include a cover body pressing mechanism 170, which is arranged above the carrier box body conveying module 100 and is used to press the second cover plate 440 on the downstream side of the first direction to the box body 400 after the box body 400 is filled with materials.

[0063] The cover body pressing mechanism 170 is arranged above the carrier 300, so that when the carrier 300 drives the box body 400 to move, the second cover plate 440 on the downstream side of the first direction of the box body 400 can be covered at the opening of the box body 400, so as to complete the forming of the box body 400. The covering of the second cover plate 440 is directly performed along with the movement of the box body 400, so as to improve the action efficiency and reliability.

[0064] The cover body pressing mechanism 170 includes a cover body pressing plate 171 arranged above the carrier 300, and the first direction upstream end of the lower surface of the cover body pressing plate 171 gradually decreases to cover the second cover plate 440 on the downstream side of the first direction. In addition, the second cover plate 440 on the upstream side of the first direction of the box body 400 is covered by a second cover mechanism (not shown) which is pushed along the first direction.

[0065] The structure diagram of the box forming device is shown in the figure. Figure 7 And Figure 8As shown, optionally, part of the carrier positioning drive 122 is connected to a second suction cup 124, which can pass through the horizontal cutout 321 perpendicular to the first direction of the carrier 300 and adsorb the side wall of the box 400.

[0066] By providing a second suction cup 124 on the carrier positioning drive 122, the first side wall 410 can be suctioned by the second suction cup 124 when the first cover plate 420 is folded and closed, so as to prevent the first side wall 410 from collapsing into the internal space of the box 400.

[0067] The first cover plate 420 is closed by a first closing mechanism (not shown) pushed in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction. Since the box 400 processed in this embodiment does not have a direct connection between the first side wall 410 and the second side wall 430, both being connected to the edge of the box bottom, folding the first cover plate 420 directly inward would cause the second side wall 430 to collapse into the box 400, affecting the quality of the box 400's molding. Therefore, a horizontal cutout 321 is provided on the side wall of the carrier 300 parallel to the first direction, and the second suction cup 124 is connected to the carrier positioning drive 122. This allows the carrier positioning mechanism 120 to simultaneously suction the first side wall 410 when positioning the carrier 300. When the carrier 300 needs to leave the workstation, the second suction cup 124 releases its suction from the first side wall 410.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the vehicle 300 includes a vehicle base plate 310 and a side positioning block 320 fixedly connected to the vehicle base plate 310. The side positioning block 320 is provided with a first waist-shaped hole 322 and a lower protrusion 323. The first waist-shaped hole 322 of each side positioning block 320 is perpendicular to the length direction of the side positioning block 320. The edge of the vehicle base plate 310 is provided with a second recess 316. The lower protrusion 323 extends into the second recess 316 and cooperates with the side wall of the second recess 316 and can slide relative to the first waist-shaped hole 322 along the length direction of the first waist-shaped hole 322.

[0069] By providing the lower protrusion 323, it can slide within the second recess 316 in a direction perpendicular to the length of the positioning block, thereby adjusting the size of the area enclosed by each side positioning block 320 to accommodate boxes 400 of different sizes. Once adjusted, threaded connectors such as screws or bolts can be passed through the first oblong hole 322 and fixed to the carrier base plate 310.

[0070] In the embodiment, the carrier base plate 310 is rectangular, two edges of the carrier base plate 310 perpendicular to the first direction, i.e. two long edges of the upper surface of the carrier base plate 310 are provided with the second recessed part 316 extending along the first direction, so that the side positioning block 320 can move relative to the carrier base plate 310 along the first direction. The other two edges of the carrier base plate 310, i.e. the short edges of the carrier base plate 310 are provided with the first recessed part 311, i.e. the first recessed part 311 is recessed from the side wall of the carrier base plate 310 to the center position of the carrier base plate 310 to match the carrier positioning mechanism 120. The inner side of the first recessed part 311 on the two short edges is also provided with the second recessed part 316 for the lower protruding part 323 at the bottom of the side positioning block 320 to slide along the extension direction of the second recessed part 316. The second recessed part 316 is provided with a protruding part 317, and the protruding part 317 is matched with the lower protruding part 323 of the side positioning block 320.

[0071] As shown in Figure 1 Optionally, the carrier reflow module 200 comprises a first carrier lifting mechanism 210, a second carrier lifting mechanism 220 and a carrier reflow conveying mechanism 230. The first carrier lifting mechanism 210 is used to drive the carrier 300 taken out of the box body 400 to descend. The second carrier lifting mechanism 220 is used to drive the carrier 300 not yet placed in the box body 400 to ascend. The carrier reflow conveying mechanism 230 is located below the carrier box conveying module 100, is arranged between the first carrier lifting mechanism 210 and the second carrier lifting mechanism 220 and is used to convey the carrier 300 from the first carrier lifting mechanism 210 to the second carrier lifting mechanism 220.

[0072] By arranging the first carrier lifting mechanism 210, the second carrier lifting mechanism 220 and the carrier reflow conveying mechanism 230, the carrier 300 can be conveyed reversely from the exit position to the entrance position of the carrier box conveying module 100, so that the recycling of the carrier 300 is realized.

[0073] Specifically, the first carrier lifting mechanism 210 and the second carrier lifting mechanism 220 are similar in structure and each comprises a lifting module 211. The power output end of the lifting module 211 is installed with a carrier lifting frame 212. When the carrier lifting frame 212 ascends, it can be slightly lower than the carrier 300 conveyed by the carrier box conveying module 100. When the carrier lifting frame 212 descends, it drives the carrier 300 to descend, so that the carrier 300 can be supported by the carrier reflow conveying mechanism 230. The carrier reflow conveying mechanism 230 comprises a belt conveying assembly. The belt conveying assembly supports the carrier 300, so that the carrier 300 is separated from the carrier lifting frame 212. The belt conveying assembly drives the carrier 300 to move towards the second carrier lifting mechanism 220.

[0074] As shown in Figures 1-9 The action principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0075] The process starts with the carrier 300 being lifted by the second carrier lifting mechanism 220. The suction driving member 155 moves in the reverse direction of the first direction, extends below the carrier 300, and drives the positioning pin 116 on the lifting base 152 to move the carrier 300. The specific process can be referred to the description of the process of the carrier driving mechanism driving the carrier 300 to move in the first direction. The carrier 300 is moved to the carrier box body conveying module 100. The carrier positioning driving member 122 of the carrier positioning mechanism 120 drives the carrier positioning member 121 to extend, and the first protruding part extends into the first recessed part 311 to position the carrier 300 in the first direction.

[0076] The paper sheet is placed in the carrier 300 by the paper sheet suction mechanism not shown in the figure, and the paper sheet is folded upward by the side positioning block 320 of the carrier 300 to form four side walls of the box body 400, i.e., two first side walls 410 and a second side wall 430. The carrier positioning driving member 122 drives the carrier positioning member 121 to retreat.

[0077] Then the carrier 300 box body 400 conveying mechanism drives the carrier 300 and the box body 400 thereon to move forward to the next station to perform corresponding operations. Specifically, in the embodiment, the box body 400 is a part of a mobile phone packaging box. After the carrier 300 is placed in the box body 400 at the first station, a mobile phone protective cover is placed in the box body 400 at the second station, and a mobile phone instruction manual is placed in the box body 400 at the third to fifth stations. At the sixth station, the first cover plate 420 of the box body 400 is folded inwardly into the box body 400 by the first cover closing mechanism not shown in the figure. The second suction disc 124 is arranged on the carrier positioning driving member 122 corresponding to the sixth station, and the second suction disc 124 is used to suck the first side wall 410 of the box body 400 to prevent the first side wall 410 from being folded together with the first cover plate 420 when the first cover plate 420 is folded.

[0078] At the seventh station, the second cover plate 440 of the box body 400 is closed by the second cover closing mechanism not shown in the figure. Then the box body 400 is conveyed by the carrier 300 in the first direction, and the second cover plate 440 on the downstream side of the first direction is flattened by the cover pressing mechanism 170 during the conveying process. Until the carrier 300 is moved to the ninth station, the box body 400 is taken away. The carrier 300 continues to run one station forward to move to the first carrier lifting mechanism 210, and the first carrier lifting mechanism 210 lowers to transfer the carrier 300 to the carrier return conveying mechanism 230 and convey the carrier 300 to the second carrier lifting mechanism 220. The second carrier lifting mechanism 220 lifts the carrier 300 to return to the initial position.
