Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic packaging technology, and more specifically, to packaging equipment with an ultra-wide tabletop. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the packaging of furniture tabletops largely relies on manual labor, which suffers from problems such as long packaging times, high labor intensity, and difficulty in moving large pieces, affecting production efficiency and packaging quality. Although some automated equipment has been put into use, it is still not possible to efficiently complete the fully automated packaging of extra-wide tabletops, especially the curved edges, which still require manual intervention. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a high-efficiency device that integrates automated straight-edge packaging and manual curved-edge packaging. We have made improvements to this and proposed an extra-wide tabletop packaging device. Utility Model Content

[0043] The automatic straight-edge packaging mechanism 2 includes an air-floating platform 21, an automatic cardboard feeding device 22, a glue spraying device 23, and an edge-folding and covering device 24.

[0044] The air flotation platform 21 uses air flotation technology to make the platform panel easy to move and reduce friction;

[0045] The automatic straight-edge packaging mechanism 2 also includes: a long-side stop 25 and a short-side stop 26 for positioning the board; a pressing mechanism 27 for pressing the board, the pressing mechanism 27 being connected to the upper end of the side-push assembly 242 via a linear cylinder; and a pull-back mechanism 28 for pulling the board to the folding station, the pull-back mechanism 28 being connected to the side-push assembly 242 via a linear cylinder, and the fixed end of the pull-back mechanism 28 being positioned on the frame of the automatic straight-edge packaging mechanism 2; the long-side covering mechanism 241 and the side-push assembly 242 work together to complete the "U"-shaped folding of the cardboard;

[0046] The short-side covering mechanism 243 includes a side-pushing mechanism 2431, an upper-flipping mechanism 2432, and a side-pressing mechanism 2433, which are used to complete the short-side folding and pressure holding.

The upper-flipping mechanism 2432 and the side-pressing mechanism 2433 each include a set of gears meshing with the rack, a rotating shaft fixed at the center of the gears, and a bracket for positioning the rotating shaft. A trapezoidal rotating plate is fixed to the outer end of the rotating shaft. The bracket is fixed to the frame by a threaded part. The rotating shafts in the upper-flipping mechanism 2432 and the side-pressing mechanism 2433 rotate in opposite directions.

[0047] The automatic cardboard feeding device 22 also includes a cardboard picking Z-axis 221 and a suction cup assembly 222, which are used to pick up cardboard from the hopper and place it at the glue spraying position at the rear end of the air float 21.

[0055] The manual curved edge packaging mechanism 3 is located downstream of the automatic straight edge packaging mechanism 2 and is used for manual curved edge packaging.

[0056] The specific manual curved edge packaging mechanism is existing technology, and it can be equipped with a rotating station to make the manual curved edge packaging operation smoother and more stable.

[0057] Specifically, when using this application packaging:

[0058] First, the operator places the worktable on the flipping host 1; the flipping host drives the flipping arm through the servo motor to flip the workpiece and smoothly transfer it to the air-floating table 21.

[0059] Secondly, the plate is manually pushed to align with the long side stop 25 and the short side stop 26; the pressing mechanism 27 presses down to fix the position of the plate; the long side stop 25 descends to avoid interfering with subsequent operations.

[0061] Then, the pull-back mechanism 28 pulls the board to the folding station; the long side covering mechanism 241 rises to complete the long side folding; the side side push assembly 242 pushes out horizontally to complete the front folding, forming a "U" shaped covering; the short side covering mechanism 243 executes in sequence: the side push mechanism 2431 pushes the cardboard; the upper flipping mechanism 2432 and the side pressing mechanism 2433 flip and press the cardboard, holding the pressure for 35 seconds to ensure adhesion.

[0062] Finally, the boards with straight edges packaged are shipped out; the boards are manually rotated and the straight edge packaging process is repeated until all four sides are completed; the boards are then transferred to the manual curved edge packaging mechanism 3, where operators complete the packaging of the curved edges.

[0063] In use: the table panel is flipped by the flipping host 1 and moved to the air-floating table 21. The board is manually pushed to align with the long side and short side stop 26; the pressing mechanism 27 presses down to position the board, and the long side stop 25 descends. The automatic cardboard feeding device 22 takes cardboard from the hopper and places it on the glue spraying platform, and the glue spraying head sprays glue onto the cardboard; the pull-back mechanism 28 pulls the board to the folding station, the long side covering mechanism 241 rises to fold the edge, and the side side push component 242 pushes out to complete the forward fold, forming a "U" shaped covering; the short side covering mechanism 243 completes the folding and pressure holding in sequence through the side push, side pressing and the upper flipping mechanism 2432; after completion, the board flows out, and the manual rotation is used to package the next straight edge. After all straight edges are completed, it is transferred to the manual curved edge packaging station.
