Description

Outer wrapping paper device for flower packaging Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to the field of flower packaging equipment technology, specifically a flower packaging outer wrapping paper device. Background Technology

[0002] After being picked, fresh flowers need to be transported from the nursery to various retailers; therefore, in order to ensure the convenience of transportation and the integrity of the flowers, they usually need to be tied, wrapped, or packaged.

[0003] Currently, flower packaging almost entirely involves manually stacking the flowers into specific shapes, wrapping them in corrugated kraft paper, and then cutting the stems and tying them together. Therefore, this manual packaging method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also requires a very high level of skill from the workers.

[0004] In the above process, the flowers need to be packaged according to the packaging requirements. During manual packaging, the flowers are sometimes wrapped too loosely and sometimes too tightly. If the wrapping is too loose, the flowers are prone to falling off, and if it is too tight, the flower buds will be damaged. Manual operation cannot guarantee consistent quality. Moreover, manual flower wrapping is too inefficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated flower wrapping machine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an outer wrapping paper device for flower packaging.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an outer wrapping paper device for flower packaging, including a frame, a flower wrapping component for packaging flower bouquets on the frame, a carrier component connected to the input end of the flower wrapping component, a bouquet conveying component connected to the output end of the flower wrapping component, and the length direction of the bouquet conveying component is set as the X direction, the width direction of the bouquet conveying component is set as the Y direction, and the height direction of the bouquet conveying component is set as the Z direction.

[0007] The flower wrapping assembly includes a flower wrapping base plate mounted on a frame, and the flower wrapping base plate is provided with a paper feeding assembly for guiding the wrapping paper and a packaging assembly for wrapping the bouquet with the wrapping paper.

[0008] By integrating the flower wrapping assembly, carrier assembly, and bouquet conveying assembly into a frame, the process of flower packaging is automated, improving production efficiency. The spatial layout in the X / Y / Z directions is defined to facilitate the coordinated operation of each component and ensure the accuracy of bouquet positioning and wrapping paper feeding. The flower wrapping base plate serves as the basic support, and the paper feeding assembly and packaging assembly have clear division of labor, simplifying the packaging steps (traction guidance + wrapping and forming).

[0009] Furthermore, the packaging paper assembly includes a rear baffle, a front baffle, a left baffle, a right baffle, a first motor, a second motor, a third motor, a fourth motor, and a fifth motor; the first motor drives the rear baffle to move along the Y direction via a synchronous belt assembly, the second motor drives the front baffle, left baffle, and right baffle to move synchronously along the Y direction via a rack and pinion assembly, the third motor drives the left baffle and right baffle to move synchronously along the Y direction via a synchronous belt assembly, the fourth motor drives the front baffle, left baffle, and right baffle to move synchronously along the X direction via a synchronous belt assembly, and the fifth motor drives the left baffle and right baffle to move towards or away from each other along the X direction via a synchronous belt assembly.

[0010] Multiple baffles (front / rear / left / right) combined with multiple motor drives enable three-dimensional wrapping of the packaging paper, adapting to bouquets of different sizes; synchronous belt / rack transmission ensures the synchronicity and stability of the baffle movement, preventing the packaging paper from wrinkling or shifting; the fifth motor drives the left and right baffles to move in opposite directions, which can flexibly adjust the tightness of the wrapping and improve the fit of the packaging.

[0011] Furthermore, the packaging paper assembly also includes a glue spray head, which is installed on the outside of the left baffle and positioned close to the rear baffle. The placement of the glue spray head on the outside of the left baffle allows for precise glue spraying at the overlapping areas of the packaging paper, enhancing the adhesion strength. Its proximity to the rear baffle prevents glue from contaminating the bouquet and ensures the bonding area is concealed and aesthetically pleasing.

[0012] Furthermore, a baffle connecting plate is provided between the left and right baffles, and a guide rail pair is provided at the top of the left baffle, which is connected to the baffle connecting plate. The baffle connecting plate and the guide rail pair enhance the linkage stability of the left and right baffles and prevent the packaging paper from deforming due to asynchronous movement.

[0013] Furthermore, a push rod is provided at one end of the left baffle near the rear baffle.

[0014] Furthermore, a stem-clamping assembly is provided at the lower end of the front baffle. The stem-clamping assembly secures the stem of the bouquet, preventing the bouquet from moving during packaging and ensuring accurate packaging positioning.

[0015] Furthermore, the rear baffle is equipped with a translation belt to facilitate the horizontal movement of the bouquet. The translation belt reduces friction between the bouquet and the rear baffle, protects the integrity of the bouquet surface, and facilitates smooth transport of the bouquet.

[0016] Furthermore, the paper feeding assembly includes a paper feeding base plate mounted on the frame, the paper feeding base plate being vertically arranged; a guide roller mounting seat is slidably provided on the paper feeding base plate, and a plurality of packaging paper guide rollers are mounted on the guide roller mounting seat;

[0017] The paper feeding substrate is provided with a cutter assembly, which includes a cutter and a seventh motor. The seventh motor drives the cutter to move along the Z direction through a rack and pinion assembly.

[0018] The paper feeding base plate is also equipped with a paper pulling assembly, which includes a ninth motor and a paper pulling gripper. The ninth motor drives the paper pulling gripper to move along the X direction through a synchronous belt assembly.

[0019] The outer side of the paper feeding substrate is equipped with an edge sealing brush roller and an eighth motor. The edge sealing brush roller is located at the packaging paper outlet, and the eighth motor drives the edge sealing brush roller to move along the Y direction through a rack and pinion assembly.

[0020] The guide roller mounting base is slidable to adapt to packaging paper of different widths; the cutter assembly realizes automatic cutting of packaging paper, and the seventh motor drive ensures flat cutting; the paper pulling claw precisely pulls the packaging paper through the synchronous belt, avoiding errors caused by manual paper feeding; the edge sealing brush roller and the edge sealing plate work together to complete the edge pressing of the packaging paper, improving sealing and aesthetics.

[0021] Furthermore, a sixth motor is installed on the flower wrapping base plate, which drives the guide rollers to move up and down along the Z-axis. The sixth motor adjusts the height of the guide rollers to accommodate wrapping paper of different thicknesses or bouquet sizes, enhancing versatility.

[0022] Furthermore, a sealing plate is provided on one side of the paper feeding substrate, and the sealing plate is positioned away from the packaging paper guide roller. The sealing plate is positioned away from the guide roller to avoid interfering with the packaging paper conveying path, while ensuring that the sealing process is completed independently.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: this utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate, and has the following advantages:

[0024] (1) Fully automated, from paper feeding, cutting, wrapping to edge sealing, no manual intervention is required, significantly reducing labor costs;

[0054] As shown in Figure 9, the working process of this outer wrapping paper device for flower packaging is as follows:

[0055] Step S1: Pull the paper. The paper-pulling claw 17 clamps the wrapping paper (i.e., corrugated paper) and pulls it past the left baffle 4 to the set position. The carrier assembly 100 rotates the bouquet to face the wrapping angle. The first motor 8 drives the rear baffle 2 to move to a position flush with the bouquet. The second motor 9 drives the front baffle 3, left baffle 4 and right baffle 5 to move forward along the Y direction. That is, the front baffle 3 first comes into contact with the flower support rod on the carrier assembly 100. The stem clamping assembly 6 at the lower end of the front baffle 3 clamps the flower rod. The rear baffle 2 moves backward so that the distance between the rear baffle 2 and the front baffle 3 is exactly the Y direction distance of the bouquet.

[0056] Step S2, folding into a U-shape and cutting the paper: the fifth motor 12 drives the left baffle 4 and the right baffle 5 to move towards each other along the X direction, adjusting the left baffle 4 and the right baffle 5 to the distance of the bouquet in the X direction; the third motor 10 drives the left baffle 4 and the right baffle 5 to move forward along the Y direction, so that the corrugated paper wraps around the flower stem and the bouquet is now in a U-shape; then the seventh motor 14 drives the cutter 18 to move along the Z direction to cut the corrugated paper;

[0057] Step S3, transfer: the first motor 8 drives the rear baffle 2 to move along the Y direction, and the second motor 9 drives the front baffle 3, left baffle 4 and right baffle 5 to move synchronously along the Y direction. The four baffles move backward as a whole, so that the bouquet is separated from the flower support rod on the carrier assembly 100; the rear baffle 2 moves backward until it is flush with the edge sealing plate 20 and the edge sealing brush roller 19.

[0058] Step S4, Fold the opening shape. Keep the rear baffle 2 stationary. The fourth motor 11 drives the front baffle 3, left baffle 4, and right baffle 5 to move synchronously to the right along the X direction. The left baffle 4 is flush with the sealing brush roller 19, so that the bouquet is wrapped in the shape of an opening.

[0059] Step S5: Edge sealing. The edge sealing brush roller 19 pushes the push rod 22, which in turn drives the left baffle 4 to retract. During the retraction of the left baffle 4, the glue spray head 21 sprays glue onto the corrugated paper to complete the edge sealing.

[0060] Step S6, unloading: The second motor 9 drives the front baffle 3, left baffle 4 and right baffle 5 to move backward synchronously along the Y direction, and the fifth motor 12 drives the left baffle 4 and right baffle 5 to move in opposite directions along the X direction, releasing the bouquet. The stem clamping assembly 6 releases the flower stem. Under the action of gravity, the bouquet first passes through the guide inclined plate 301 and then falls into the bouquet conveying assembly, completing the unloading operation.

[0061] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model. Various examples and illustrations do not constitute a limitation on the substantive content of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make modifications or variations to the above-described specific embodiments after reading the description without departing from the essence and scope of the utility model.
