[0036] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment discloses a packaging folding and boxing mechanism, including a folding and boxing module 100 and a feeding module 200. The folding and boxing module 100 includes a support 110, a transfer platform 120, a lifting assembly 130, and a first gripper 140. The transfer platform 120 and the lifting assembly 130 are both mounted on the support 110. The first gripper 140 is connected to the lifting assembly 130. The transfer platform 120 includes a support plate 121, a placement plate 122, and a translation assembly 123. The support plate 121 is provided with a boxing groove 124. The translation assembly 123 is mounted on the support plate 121 and is used to drive the placement plate 122 to translate. The feeding module 200 includes a robot arm 210 and a base 220. The robot arm 210 is mounted on the base 220 and is used to grab the packaging 410 and move it onto the placement plate 122.

[0038] The support frame 110 serves as the foundation support for the entire mechanism. The transfer platform 120 and lifting assembly 130 are both mounted on the support frame 110, ensuring the stability and safety of the mechanism. The translation assembly 123 moves the placement plate 122 on the same plane, facilitating the positioning of the package 410 to the appropriate box-entry position, that is, moving the package 410 above the box-entry slot 124. The lifting assembly 130 controls the up-and-down movement of the first gripper 140, allowing the package 410 to smoothly enter the box-entry slot 124 and be folded. The robotic arm 210 in the loading module 200 is responsible for gripping the package 410 and accurately placing it onto the placement plate 122. This system enables a series of operations, including gripping, placing, positioning, clamping, and folding the package 410, ultimately completing the folding and box-entry process of the package 410, improving packaging efficiency and quality.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The folding and boxing module 100 also includes a push rod 150, which is positioned above the boxing slot 124 and connected to the lifting assembly 130. The push rod 150 smoothly lowers the package 410 into the boxing slot 124, ensuring the boxing accuracy of the package 410 during the packaging process. The lifting assembly 130 controls the up-and-down movement of the push rod 150. When the lifting assembly 130 lowers the push rod 150 above the boxing slot 124, the push rod 150 pushes the package 410 into the boxing slot 124, completing the boxing operation of the package 410, improving the boxing accuracy of the package 410, and realizing the folding and boxing of the package 410.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 The box inlet slot 124 is provided with baffles 125 on both sides. When the push rod 150 pushes the package 410 into the box inlet slot 124, it cooperates with the baffles 125 to fold the package 410 so that it can be put into the box, thereby improving the folding efficiency.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The translation component 123 includes a slide rail 131, a slider 132, and a servo motor 133. The slide rail 131 is mounted on the support plate 121, and the servo motor 133 drives the slider 132 to move along the slide rail 131. The slide rail 131 provides linear guidance and support for the slider 132, ensuring that the slider 132 moves stably without deviation in a predetermined direction; the slider 132 moves linearly under the guidance of the slide rail 131; the servo motor 133, as a power source, precisely controls the moving speed and position of the slider 132. After receiving a control signal, the servo motor 133 drives the slider 132 to move linearly along the slide rail 131, thereby moving the package 410 above the box inlet slot 124, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movement operation.

[0042] Please see Figure 4and Figure 5 A placement plate 122 is mounted on a slider 132, and a servo motor 133 drives the placement plate 122 to move along a slide rail 131. The placement plate 122 carries the package 410, and the slider 132 slides on the slide rail 131, ensuring the stability and linearity of the movement of the placement plate 122. The servo motor 133, as a power source, drives the placement plate 122 to move along the slide rail 131 for positioning by precisely controlling its speed and direction, ensuring that the placement plate 122 can accurately and quickly reach the designated position, thereby achieving precise placement of the package 410. After receiving a control signal, the servo motor 133 drives the slider 132 to perform precise linear movement along the slide rail 131. The slider 132 moves the placement plate 122 to the target position, thereby moving the package 410 above the box slot 124.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 The transfer table 120 is equipped with a side positioning component 160, which is used for secondary positioning of the first gripper 140. The side positioning component 160 can perform secondary precise positioning of the package 410, ensuring that the package 410 maintains the correct position during movement and improving the accuracy of subsequent folding and boxing. The first gripper 140 is used to clamp and move the workpiece, and through cooperation with the side positioning component 160, it can perform secondary positioning during the movement of the package 410. This secondary positioning further improves positioning accuracy, reduces positional deviation, and allows for positioning according to the type of package, making it compatible with various types of packaged goods.

[0044] Please see Figure 6 The robotic arm 210 includes a second gripper 211 and a rotating arm 212, with the second gripper 211 connected to the rotating arm 212. The second gripper 211 grips the package 410, ensuring that the package 410 does not fall off or shift during handling. The rotating arm 212 drives the second gripper 211 to rotate around its axis, enabling the second gripper 211 to grip the package 410 and transfer it to the placement plate 122. During operation, the rotating arm 212 drives the second gripper 211 connected to it to rotate through its own rotational motion, allowing the second gripper 211 to flexibly adjust its angle and accurately grip and place the package 410. This achieves efficient and precise handling tasks, improving handling efficiency and operational accuracy.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 7The packaging folding and boxing mechanism also includes an unloading conveyor line 300, which is installed below the support 110. The unloading conveyor line 300 ensures that the packaging box 420 can be smoothly transported from the folding and boxing station to the next process, improving packaging efficiency and automation. The packaging box 420 moves along the unloading conveyor line 300 to below the boxing slot 124; after the packaging material 410 is folded and boxed, it is then transferred to the next station via the unloading conveyor line 300, improving packaging quality and operational efficiency.

[0046] Please see Figure 7 The discharge assembly line 300 includes a first conveyor belt 310 and a second conveyor belt 320, both of which are equipped with baffles 330 on their sides. The first conveyor belt 310 moves the packaging box 420 along the discharge assembly line 300 to below the box inlet trough 124. After the packaging 410 is folded into a box, it is then transferred to the next station via the second conveyor belt 320, allowing the packaging box 420 to flow continuously and without interruption through the entire assembly line. The baffles 330 on both sides limit the transport path of the packaging box 420, preventing it from shifting or falling, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of the transport.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 8 The packaging folding and boxing mechanism also includes a packaging material bin 400, which holds multiple packaging items 410 in a folded state. The packaging item 410 is then gripped onto a placement plate 122 by a robotic arm 210, at which point the packaging item 410 is in an unfolded state. The packaging material bin 400 provides raw materials for subsequent packaging processes. The robotic arm 210 picks up one packaging item 410 from the packaging material bin 400 and places it onto the placement plate 122, achieving efficient transfer from the storage area to the workbench. The packaging item 410 in the packaging material bin 400 is precisely gripped by the robotic arm 210 and placed on the placement plate 122. Finally, the packaging item 410 is folded into a packaging box 420, achieving a highly efficient and automated packaging process.

[0048] This embodiment also discloses a packaging device, including the above-mentioned packaging folding and boxing mechanism.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 8During packaging, the robotic arm 210 picks up the packaged item 410 from the packaging material bin 400 and transfers it to the transfer table 120. Simultaneously, the packaging box 420 moves along the discharge assembly line 300 to below the box inlet 124. The transfer table 120 moves the packaged item 410 above the box inlet 124. The first gripper 140 of the folding box inlet module 100 picks up the packaged item 410, and the transfer table 120 switches to the loading position. The lifting assembly 130 descends, passing the packaged item 410 through the box inlet 124 for shaping and placing it into the packaging box 420. The first gripper 140 releases, and the lifting assembly 130 rises, completing the box inlet operation. The discharge assembly line 300 rotates, and the packaging box 420 is discharged along the discharge assembly line 300 to the next workstation. The folding and boxing of packaging materials 410 are completed at the same station, realizing automatic material picking, automatic folding and boxing, and automatic unloading, ensuring the consistency of packaging materials entering the box; avoiding the phenomenon of packaging materials 410 being placed backwards, damaged, or missing, saving manpower and improving packaging efficiency and quality.

[0050] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
