Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machine technology, and in particular to a separate packaging system. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, goods need to be bundled and packaged. In actual packaging, multiple packaging operations are required both horizontally and vertically. Some goods (such as photovoltaic panels) require initial bundling, followed by boxing and then further bundling. This necessitates the use of conveyor lines to transport goods sequentially to different workstations for packaging. However, because the same conveyor line is used, the conveyor's cycle time is limited, resulting in a significant portion of the total packaging time being spent on transporting goods, leading to low overall packaging efficiency. Therefore, designing a technology to improve packaging efficiency is the technical problem this invention aims to solve. Utility Model Content

[0037] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Example 1: A separate packaging method provided in one embodiment of this application includes:

[0039] Step 1: Transport the goods to the first packaging station, and then bundle and pack the goods.

[0040] Step 2: The goods are moved from the first packaging station to the second packaging station using mobile handling equipment, and then the goods are bundled and packaged.

[0041] The bundling and packaging process includes a first bundling process and a second bundling process. The first bundling process involves longitudinally bundling the packing straps to the goods, and the second bundling process involves transversely bundling the packing straps to the goods.

[0042] Alternatively, step one may involve performing a first bundling process, and step two may involve performing a second bundling process; or step one may involve performing a second bundling process, and step two may involve performing a first bundling process.

[0043] Specifically, in the process of multiple bundling processes, the goods are bundled and packaged at the packing machines configured at the first and second packaging stations respectively, while the goods are moved independently between the first and second packaging stations by handling equipment in an offline manner.

[0044] In step one, the goods are transported to the first packaging station via handling equipment or conventional conveyor lines (such as belt conveyors, roller conveyors, etc.). Once the goods arrive at the designated location at the first packaging station, the packing machine at the first packaging station begins operation. The packing machine at the first packaging station performs the first bundling process according to a pre-set program.

[0045] In step two, the handling equipment removes the bundled goods from the first packaging station and then transfers them to the second packaging station. Once the goods are accurately placed at the second packaging station, the packing machine at the second packaging station starts and performs the second bundling process according to the preset program.

[0046] Furthermore, regarding the order of the bundling process, it can be performed either as described above, with the first bundling (vertical bundling) in step one and the second bundling (horizontal bundling) in step two; or the second bundling (horizontal bundling) in step one and the first bundling (vertical bundling) in step two. The specific bundling order can be flexibly set through the system control program based on factors such as the shape, weight, and packaging requirements of the goods.

[0047] The separate packaging method significantly improves packaging efficiency. Unlike existing technologies that use the same conveyor line to transport goods between two packing machines, this application separates the packaging process into two independent workstations. Since the two packaging workstations can operate simultaneously without interference, time wasted due to conveyor line cycle time limitations is greatly reduced, as are instances of the entire packaging system being halted due to conveyor line failures. For example, while the first packaging workstation is bundling goods, the second packaging workstation can simultaneously process goods that have already been transferred, without waiting for goods to be transferred on the conveyor line. This significantly reduces the proportion of transport time in the overall packaging time, thereby effectively improving overall packaging efficiency.

[0048] Separate packaging methods improve packaging quality stability. By performing strapping and packing at independent packaging stations, the strapping machine can perform more precise parameter settings and control for each station. For example, when focusing on vertical strapping at the first packaging station, the tension and position of the strapping tape can be precisely adjusted according to the characteristics of the goods; the same precise control can be achieved when performing horizontal strapping at the second packaging station. This professional and meticulous operation avoids problems such as inconsistent strapping tension and strapping position deviations that may occur with continuous operation on the same conveyor line, ensuring the stability of the packaged goods' quality.

[0049] Separate packaging methods enhance equipment adaptability and flexibility: mobile handling equipment can be flexibly deployed between different packaging stations. The number of handling equipment and the handling routes and times can be rationally configured based on the type and quantity of goods and production needs. Simultaneously, the order of the first and second bundling processes at the two packaging stations can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions, adapting well to goods of different shapes and packaging requirements, greatly enhancing the equipment adaptability and production flexibility of the entire packaging system.

[0050] By setting up movable handling equipment between the first and second packaging stations, the handling equipment can be unaffected by the packing rhythm of the packing equipment at different packaging stations. Therefore, when goods need to be moved between different packaging stations, the moving equipment will not affect the normal strapping and packing process of the packing machine at the packaging station. In this way, the flexibility of goods handling can be achieved, which is more conducive to improving the pace of packaging and thus improving packaging efficiency.

[0051] Furthermore, the first bundling process specifically involves: longitudinally bundling and packaging along a first edge perpendicular to the goods, and then longitudinally bundling and packaging along a second edge perpendicular to the goods; wherein the first edge and the second edge of the goods are perpendicular to each other.

[0052] Specifically, during the first bundling process at the first or second packaging station, the goods can be bundled longitudinally in a cross pattern on the outer surface to improve the reliability of the bundling.

[0053] Furthermore, separate packaging methods also include adding packaging materials to the outside of the goods.

[0054] Specifically, the first packaging station and / or the second packaging station are respectively equipped with a packaging consumables storage area. The storage area can store various packaging consumables such as packaging boxes, packaging caps, packaging bags, packaging films, corner protectors, or labels. According to the packaging requirements of the goods, the corresponding packaging consumables can be attached to the outside of the goods.

[0055] Specifically, after the goods are bundled and packaged at the first or second packaging station, packaging materials are added to the outside of the goods. Then, the goods and packaging materials are bundled and packaged again at the first or second packaging station. In other words, the goods are bundled and packaged first, then packaging materials are added, and then the goods are bundled and packaged again. After the goods are bundled and packaged at the first or second packaging station, packaging materials are placed on the outer surface of the goods. Then, the goods and the outer packaging materials are bundled and packaged again, using strapping to further secure the packaging materials to the outside of the goods.

[0056] For example: Step one specifically involves: after the goods are first bundled and packaged at the first packaging station, additional packaging materials are added to the outside of the goods, and then the goods and packaging materials are bundled and packaged a second time at the first packaging station. Alternatively, Step two specifically involves: the goods being moved from the first packaging station to the second packaging station, where packaging materials are first added to the outside of the goods, and then the goods and packaging materials are bundled and packaged at the second packaging station. Alternatively, after the goods are bundled and packaged at the first packaging station, additional packaging materials are added to the outside of the goods, and then the goods and packaging materials are moved from the first packaging station to the second packaging station, where they are bundled and packaged. Alternatively, after the goods are first bundled and packaged at the second packaging station, additional packaging materials are added to the outside of the goods, and then the goods and packaging materials are bundled and packaged a second time at the second packaging station.

[0057] Similarly, packaging materials can be added to the goods first, and then the goods and packaging materials can be bundled and packaged at the first or second packaging station. Specifically, after the goods are transported to the first packaging station, packaging materials are added to the goods according to the packaging requirements; after the packaging materials are added, the packaging machine at the first packaging station starts to bundle and package the goods and packaging materials; then, the goods are transferred to the second packaging station by handling equipment for bundling and packaging again. Alternatively, the goods can be bundled at the first packaging station, then transferred to the second packaging station by handling equipment; packaging materials are added to the goods first, and after the packaging materials are added, the packaging machine at the second packaging station starts to bundle and package the goods and packaging materials.

[0058] For specific methods of adding packaging materials, you can refer to conventional methods, such as: putting a packaging box over the outside of the goods, or covering the top of the goods with a packaging lid, or putting a packaging bag over the outside of the goods, or wrapping the outside of the goods with packaging film, or attaching corner protectors to the corners of the goods, or sticking a label on the designated location of the goods.

[0059] In one embodiment, the separate packaging method further includes step 3: after completing the bundling and packing of the goods in step 2, the goods are moved out of the second packaging station and transferred to the first packaging station by a handling device, and then the goods are bundled and packed.

[0060] Specifically, after the goods have been bundled at the first and second packaging stations, they can return to the first packaging station for further bundling. This is usually done when additional packaging materials are added to the outside of the goods, so that the packaging materials can be more effectively bundled to the outside of the goods.

[0061] Taking the example of wrapping goods in a box, after the goods are first bundled at the first packaging station, a box can be placed over them. The goods and box will then undergo a second bundling process at the second packaging station. At this point, the goods themselves have both longitudinal and transverse straps on their exterior. However, the box only has transverse straps. Therefore, the goods and box are moved back to the first packaging station for the first bundling process to ensure that the box has both longitudinal and transverse straps on its exterior, thus improving the strength and reliability of the packaging.

[0062] In one embodiment, the separate packaging method further includes step 4: after completing the bundling and packing of the goods in step 2, the goods are moved again from the second packaging station to the third packaging station by a handling device, and then the goods are bundled and packed; wherein, the bundling direction of the packing straps at the third packaging station is the same as the bundling direction of the packing straps at the first packaging station.

[0063] Specifically, after the goods have been bundled at the first and second packaging stations, the handling equipment moves them to the third packaging station for further bundling. This process typically occurs when additional packaging materials are added to the outside of the goods, allowing the materials to be more effectively secured.

[0064] Taking the example of wrapping goods in a box, after the goods undergo their second securing process at the first packaging station, a box can be placed over them. The goods and box will then undergo their first securing process at the second packaging station. At this point, the goods themselves have both longitudinal and transverse straps on their exterior. However, the box only has longitudinal straps. Therefore, the goods and box are moved to the third packaging station for a second securing process, ensuring that the box has both longitudinal and transverse straps on its exterior, thus improving the strength and reliability of the packaging.

[0065] In one embodiment of this application, before the goods are transported to the first packaging station, they are pre-bundled and packaged at the pre-packaging station, and then the pre-bundled goods are transported to the first packaging station.

[0066] Specifically, for bulk cargo, it is necessary to pre-bundle the bulk cargo together before carrying out normal bundling to prevent the cargo from scattering during the normal bundling process.

[0067] Taking the bundling and packaging of goods formed by stacking multiple sheet-like items (such as photovoltaic modules) as an example, the goods are transported to the pre-packaging station on a transfer trolley for pre-bundling and packaging. Specifically, the sheet-like items are moved to the pre-packaging station via the transfer trolley, where a packaging machine pre-bundles the sheet-like items on the transfer trolley, so that multiple sheet-like items are pre-bundled together. Then, the pre-bundled goods are conveyed to the first packaging station for normal bundling and packaging.

[0068] Alternatively, before the goods are transported to the first packaging station, they are pre-bundled and packaged at the pre-packaging station, and then the pre-bundled goods are flipped over before being transported to the first packaging station.

[0069] Specifically, for goods formed by stacking sheet-like materials, after pre-bundling, the pre-bundled goods are flipped before being transported to the first packaging station to ensure they meet the bundling requirements of the first packaging station. Taking the bundling and packaging of goods formed by stacking multiple sheet-like materials (such as photovoltaic modules) as an example, the goods are transported to the pre-packaging station on a transfer pallet, where they are first bundled vertically. Then, the goods are flipped onto the packaging pallet and transported to the first packaging station for vertical bundling. The goods are then transported to the second packaging station for horizontal bundling, and after being placed in a cardboard box, they are bundled horizontally again. Finally, the goods are transported to the third packaging station for vertical bundling.

[0070] In another embodiment of this application, the separate packaging method further includes: transferring multiple goods after the packaging processes in steps one and two to a first packaging station and stacking them together; then, bundling and / or wrapping the multiple stacked goods together. Specifically, the goods after being bundled at the first and second packaging stations can also be stacked together, and then the stacked goods can be bundled and packaged as a whole.

[0071] Alternatively, multiple goods packaged in steps one and two can be transferred to the fourth packaging station and stacked together. Then, the stacked goods are bundled and / or wrapped. Specifically, to improve packaging efficiency, a fourth packaging station is provided to avoid affecting the normal bundling requirements of the first and second packaging stations when stacking and bundling the bundled goods. Goods bundled at the first and second packaging stations are moved to the fourth packaging station by handling equipment and stacked together, where they are bundled and packaged by a packing machine.

[0072] Example 2, as Figure 1 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, a separate packaging system is provided, comprising:

[0073] A first vertical strapping machine 101 is configured to perform vertical strapping on goods to be strapped and packaged.

[0074] A horizontal strapping machine 102 is configured to perform horizontal strapping on goods to be bundled and packaged.

[0075] The handling equipment 103 is capable of reciprocating between the first packaging station and the second packaging station, and is configured to transfer goods between the first vertical packer 101 and the horizontal packer 102.

[0076] Wherein, the first vertical packing machine 101 is arranged at the first packaging station, and the horizontal packing machine 102 is arranged at the second packaging station; or, the first vertical packing machine 101 is arranged at the second packaging station, and the horizontal packing machine 102 is arranged at the first packaging station.

[0077] Specifically, in the process of multiple bundling processes of the separate packaging system, the goods will be bundled and packaged at the packing machines configured at the first and second packaging stations respectively, while the goods will be moved independently between the first and second packaging stations by the handling equipment 103 in an offline manner.

[0078] The following description takes the example of the first vertical packing machine 101 being arranged at the first packaging station and the horizontal packing machine 102 being arranged at the second packaging station.

[0079] At the first packaging station, the goods are longitudinally strapped on the outside by the first vertical strapping machine 101. Then, the handling equipment 103 transfers the strapped goods from the first packaging station to the second packaging station, where they are horizontally strapped by the horizontal strapping machine 102.

[0080] During operation, the goods handled by the handling equipment 103 will not affect the normal strapping process of the packing machines at the first and second packaging stations. That is, after the goods are strapped at the first packaging station, the handling equipment 103 can move the goods out of the first packaging station, and new goods to be strapped can be transported to the first packaging station for further strapping by the first vertical packing machine 101, thus achieving continuous and uninterrupted strapping at the first packaging station. Similarly, if the horizontal packing machine 102 at the second packaging station is performing lateral strapping, goods transferred from the first packaging station by the handling equipment 103 can wait next to the horizontal packing machine 102 until the goods at the second packaging station are strapped and moved out by other handling equipment 103, after which the waiting handling equipment 103 will move the goods back to the second packaging station for strapping.

[0081] The packing machines at the first and second packaging stations are not affected by the transportation of goods. That is, during the transfer of goods through the handling equipment 103, the packing machines at the first and second packaging stations can perform normal bundling and packing. This overcomes the technical bias of the prior art that requires a continuous conveyor line to transport goods between the two packing machines, and realizes offline transportation of goods through the handling equipment 103, making the transportation method more flexible.

[0082] For the specific packaging process of the separate packaging system, please refer to the description of the separate packaging method in Embodiment 1 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0083] By setting up a movable handling device 103 between the first and second packaging stations, the handling device 103 is not affected by the packing rhythm of the packing equipment at different packaging stations. Therefore, when goods need to be moved between different packaging stations, the handling device 103 will not affect the normal bundling and packing process of the packing machine at the packaging station. In this way, the flexibility of goods handling can be achieved, which is more conducive to improving the packaging rhythm and thus improving the packing efficiency.

[0084] Furthermore, multiple vertical packing machines 101 are arranged at the first packaging station.

[0085] Specifically, multiple first vertical strapping machines 101 can be configured at the first packaging station, so that multiple first vertical strapping machines 101 can be used simultaneously to perform longitudinal strapping on different goods.

[0086] Similarly, multiple horizontal packing machines 102 are arranged at the second packaging station.

[0087] Specifically, multiple horizontal packing machines 102 can be configured at the second packaging station, so that multiple horizontal packing machines 102 can be used simultaneously to perform horizontal bundling on different goods.

[0088] In order to meet the transfer requirements of different goods, the number of handling equipment 103 can be configured to be multiple handling equipment 103 according to the actual needs of goods transfer.

[0089] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the separate packaging system also includes a pre-stuffing machine 104;

[0090] The pre-strapping machine 104 is configured to pre-strap goods to be bundled and packaged.

[0091] Specifically, for bulk cargo, it is necessary to pre-bundle the bulk cargo together before carrying out normal bundling to prevent the cargo from scattering during the normal bundling process.

[0092] Bulk goods are transported to the pre-packaging station via transfer trolleys, where they are pre-bundled by the pre-stuffing machine 104. The specific process can be found in the description of Example 1 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0093] Furthermore, the first vertical packing machine 101 is configured to perform longitudinal strapping and packing along a first edge perpendicular to the goods, and the first vertical packing machine 101 is also configured to perform longitudinal strapping and packing along a second edge perpendicular to the goods; wherein the first edge and the second edge of the goods are perpendicular to each other.

[0094] Specifically, during the longitudinal strapping process of the first vertical strapping machine 101, cross-shaped vertical strapping bands can be formed on the outside of the goods, so that the goods can be reliably and effectively strapped and packaged at the first packaging station.

[0095] The physical manifestation of the first vertical packing machine 101 can have multiple structural forms.

[0096] For example, the first vertical packing machine 101 is a rotary packing machine, and the specific structure can be referred to the technical solution described in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111605763A.

[0097] Alternatively, the first vertical packing machine 101 includes two mutually perpendicular strapping slots, which are arranged vertically. For the specific structure, please refer to the technical solution described in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218055738U.

[0098] Alternatively, the first vertical packing machine 101 may include two transverse packing machines, the transverse directions of the two transverse packing machines being perpendicular to each other. For specific structure, please refer to the technical solution described in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215884201U.

[0099] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the separate packaging system also includes a second vertical strapping machine 105, which is configured to vertically strap the goods to be bundled and packaged; the second vertical strapping machine 105 is arranged at the third packaging station.

[0100] Specifically, after the goods have been bundled at the first and second packaging stations, the handling equipment 103 moves the goods to the third packaging station where they are further bundled by the second vertical strapping machine 105. This process is typically carried out when additional packaging materials are added to the outside of the goods, so that the packaging materials can be more effectively bundled to the outside of the goods.

[0101] Taking the example of wrapping goods in a box, after the goods are secured at the first packaging station, a box can be placed over them. The goods and box are then secured at the second packaging station. At this point, the goods themselves have both longitudinal and transverse straps on their exterior. However, the box only has transverse straps. Therefore, the goods and box are moved to the third packaging station for further securing by a second vertical strapping machine 105. This ensures that the box has both longitudinal and transverse straps on its exterior, improving the strength and reliability of the packaging.

[0102] The goods can be transferred to the third packaging station via handling equipment 103, or they can be transported via a conventional conveyor line; there are no restrictions on this.

[0103] Furthermore, the separate packaging system also includes a third vertical strapping machine (not shown), which is configured to vertically strap stacked goods; the third vertical strapping machine is located at the fourth packaging station.

[0104] Specifically, when stacking and bundling bundled goods, a fourth packaging station is set up to avoid affecting the normal bundling requirements of the first and second packaging stations, and a third vertical packing machine is installed at the fourth packaging station. The goods that have been bundled by the first and second packaging stations are moved to the fourth packaging station by the handling equipment 103 and stacked together, and then bundled and packaged by the third vertical packing machine.

[0105] Furthermore, wrapping machines and / or laminating machines can be configured at the first and second packaging stations as needed; this allows for the addition of packaging materials to the outside of the goods according to their packaging requirements. For example, wrapping film can be wrapped around the outer perimeter of the goods using a wrapping machine; or, a laminating machine can be used to cover the top surface of the goods with a packaging film.

[0106] The process of using a wrapping machine and a laminating machine in conjunction with a packing machine for packaging can be found in the conventional operating procedures and will not be elaborated here.

[0107] In addition, the physical manifestation of the handling equipment 103 can be an existing form of equipment in the prior art, such as a forklift, hydraulic truck, AGV, AMR, telescopic fork with lifting mechanism, or RGV with telescopic fork with lifting mechanism.

[0108] Based on the above technical solution, the following description is provided for the optional structural configuration of the pre-strapping machine that also has the function of flipping goods.

[0109] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 andFigure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, a pre-bundling machine includes:

[0110] Packaging module 1, the packaging module 1 includes a packaging frame 11, a packaging head 12 and a strapping groove 13, the packaging head 12 and the strapping groove 13 are disposed on the packaging frame 11, and a packaging station is formed at the packaging frame 11;

[0111] The flipping module 2 includes a support frame 21, a flipping frame 22, and a driving component (not shown). The flipping frame 22 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 21, and the driving component is configured to drive the flipping frame 22 to flip.

[0112] The support frame 21 is located at the packing station, and the packing module 1 is configured to bundle the goods 100 to be bundled on the flipping frame 22.

[0113] Specifically, the packing module 1, with its packing head 12 and strapping groove 13, can deliver packing straps around the periphery of the goods 100 and complete the strapping operation. A packing station is formed at the packing frame 11; when the goods 100 move to the packing station, they can be strapped and packaged by the packing head 12. The specific structural configuration of the packing head 12 and strapping groove 13 for strapping the goods 100 can be referenced from conventional packing machine structures, and will not be limited or elaborated upon here.

[0114] The flipping module 2 is located at the packing station of the packing frame 11. In actual use, goods 100 can be directly transferred from the iron pallet 200 to the flipping frame 22, where they will be positioned at the packing station of the packing module 1. When the packing module 1 operates, it directly bundles and packs the goods 100 on the flipping frame 22. After the goods 100 are bundled and packed on the flipping frame 22, the drive unit can rotate the flipping frame 22 on the support frame 21, thus transferring the goods 100 from the iron pallet 200 to the wooden pallet 300 on the flipping frame 22.

[0115] During the packing and flipping process described above, the goods 100 are directly strapped and flipped on the flipping frame 22, thus eliminating the need for workers to handle them using forklifts.

[0116] In addition, the driving component can be a motor in conjunction with a sprocket to drive the tilting frame 22 to rotate, or the driving component can be a hydraulic cylinder to drive the tilting frame 22 to rotate. The specific structure can adopt the driving method of a conventional tilting machine, which will not be limited or elaborated here.

[0117] By setting up a flipping module 2 at the packaging station of the packaging module 1, after the bundled goods 100 are transferred to the flipping frame 22, the packaging module 1 can directly perform the bundling and packaging operation on the flipping frame 22. After the goods 100 are bundled, the flipping frame 22 of the flipping module 2 can directly flip the bundled goods 100. In this way, it can save the labor intensity of workers by bundling the goods 100 and then transferring and flipping them. On the one hand, bundling on the flipping frame 22 does not require manual handling, and on the other hand, it saves time and improves packaging efficiency by saving the transfer operation steps.

[0118] In one embodiment, the packaging module 1 further includes a slide rail 14, on which the packaging frame 11 is slidably mounted.

[0119] Specifically, in order to perform multiple bundling and packaging processes on the goods 100 on the flipping frame 22 through the packaging module 1, the packaging frame 11 can be set on the slide rail 14. The packaging frame 11 can slide on the slide rail 14 under the drive of a motor or other drive mechanism. For example, the motor is equipped with a gear and is set on the packaging frame 11, while the slide rail 14 is equipped with a rack. The gear and rack work together to realize the reciprocating movement of the packaging frame 11 on the slide rail 14.

[0120] By moving the packing frame 11 to different positions, the goods 100 can be bundled and packed at different locations.

[0121] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the slide rail 14 extends along the flipping axis of the flipping frame 22. This allows for multiple binding operations on the long side of the goods 100.

[0122] Or, such as Figure 8 As shown, the slide rail 14 extends perpendicular to the flipping axis of the flipping frame 22. This allows for multiple binding operations on the short side of the goods 100.

[0123] In another embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the slide rail 14 includes a first sub-guide rail 141 and a second sub-guide rail 142;

[0124] The packing frame 11 includes a first frame 111 and a second frame 112. The first frame 111 and the second frame 112 are respectively provided with the packing head 12 and the strapping groove 13. The first frame 111 is slidably mounted on the first sub-guide rail 141, and the second frame 112 is slidably mounted on the second sub-guide rail 142.

[0125] The first sub-guide rail 141 extends along the flipping axis of the flipping frame 22, and the first sub-guide rail 141 extends perpendicular to the flipping axis of the flipping frame 22.

[0126] Specifically, the packaging module 1 is equipped with a first frame 111 and a second frame 112. The packaging head 12 and the strapping slot 13 on the first frame 111 can perform multiple strapping operations on the long side of the goods 100, and the packaging head 12 and the strapping slot 13 on the second frame 112 can perform multiple strapping operations on the short side of the goods 100.

[0127] In another embodiment of this application, the flipping frame 22 includes a first bearing surface 221 and a second bearing surface 222, wherein the first bearing surface 221 and the second bearing surface 222 are perpendicular to each other;

[0128] The first bearing surface 221 is configured to bear the goods 100 to be bundled and bundled by the packaging module 1 at the packaging station.

[0129] Specifically, the tilting frame 22 has a first bearing surface 221 and a second bearing surface 222 arranged perpendicularly to each other. The iron pallet 200 and the goods 100 are first transferred to the first bearing surface 221 for support, and the goods 100 are bundled and packaged on the first bearing surface 221. The wooden pallet 300 is placed on the second bearing surface 222. After the tilting frame 22 is tilted, the bundled goods 100 are flipped onto the wooden pallet 300.

[0130] In one embodiment, in order to align the iron pallet 200, the flipping frame 22 is provided with a first alignment component 23. The first alignment component 23 includes at least a pair of opposing first alignment cylinders 231. A first pressure plate (unmarked) is provided on the piston rod of the first alignment cylinder 231, and a first alignment space is formed between the two opposing first pressure plates. The first pressure plate is arranged on the first bearing surface 221.

[0131] Specifically, the position of the iron pallet 200 transferred to the first bearing surface 221 may be skewed, which in turn causes the goods 100 to be skewed. To ensure that the packing straps can be securely tied to the outer periphery of the goods 100, the first pressure plate on the first alignment cylinder 231 can be used to squeeze the iron pallet 200 on both sides, so that the iron pallet 200 can be straightened, thereby improving the packing quality. Multiple first alignment components 23 can be arranged at intervals along the axis of the flipping frame 22 as needed.

[0132] Similarly, the flipping frame 22 is provided with a second alignment assembly 24, which includes at least a pair of opposing second alignment cylinders 241. The piston rod of the second alignment cylinder 241 is provided with a second pressure plate (unmarked), and a second alignment space is formed between the two opposing second pressure plates. The second pressure plate is arranged on the second bearing surface 222.

[0133] Specifically, the wooden pallet 300 on the second bearing surface 222 needs to be placed on the second bearing surface 222 before the goods 100 are bundled and flipped. Therefore, before the goods 100 are transferred to the flipping frame 22, the second bearing surface 222 is horizontal. The wooden pallet 300 is placed on the second bearing surface 222, and then the second pressure plate on the second alignment cylinder 241 presses the wooden pallet 300 firmly. The wooden pallet 300 is sandwiched between the two second pressure plates, which both straightens the position of the wooden pallet 300 and holds it in place. In this way, when the goods 100 are transferred to the flipping frame 22 for bundling and packaging, the wooden pallet 300 stands upright on one side of the goods 100 and will not fall off.

[0134] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the strapping groove 13 includes a fixed strapping groove 131, upper and lower strapping grooves 132, and a horizontal strapping groove 133. The upper and lower strapping grooves 132 are vertically slidably disposed on the strapping frame 11, and the horizontal strapping groove 133 is horizontally slidably disposed on the strapping frame 11. The strapping head 12 is connected to the fixed strapping groove 131. The upper and lower strapping grooves 132 are arranged on the side of the fixed strapping groove 131, and the horizontal strapping groove 133 is arranged on the lower part of the fixed strapping groove 131.

[0135] In the extended state, the upper and lower arrow-piercing grooves 132 and the horizontal arrow-piercing groove 133 are interconnected to form a conveying channel for conveying the packing straps.

[0136] In addition, when the upper and lower arrow-piercing grooves 132 and the horizontal arrow-piercing grooves 133 are in the retracted state, the packing frame 11 forms a moving avoidance zone for avoiding the flipping module 2.

[0137] Specifically, for the tilting frame 22, its tilting can be driven by a sprocket mounted on the tilting frame 22, with a motor driving the sprocket to rotate and achieve tilting. Alternatively, the tilting frame 22 can be directly driven by a hydraulic cylinder. When using a hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder is tilted at the tilting frame 22, which may interfere with the moving packing machine frame 11. Therefore, the strapping groove 13 is equipped with upper and lower strapping grooves 132 and a horizontal strapping groove 133.

[0138] During normal strapping, the upper and lower strapping grooves 132 and the horizontal strapping groove 133 extend, so that the fixed strapping groove 131, the upper and lower strapping grooves 132 and the horizontal strapping groove 133 are interconnected to form a conveying channel for conveying the strapping. Under the driving action of the strapping machine head, the strapping is wrapped around the outer periphery of the goods 100 through the strapping grooves 13.

[0139] During the movement of the baling frame 11, in order to avoid the oil cylinder, the upper and lower through-arrow grooves 132 and the horizontal through-arrow grooves 133 retract, thereby forming a gap on one side of the baling frame to avoid the oil cylinder.

[0140] In one embodiment, one side of the packing module 1 forms an input side, and the other side of the packing module 1 forms an output side; the packing module 1 is configured to input the goods 100 to be bundled from the input side to the flipping frame 22 and output the bundled and flipped goods 100 from the output side.
