[0002] Packaging boxes are common items in people's lives. Existing packaging box structures often combine the box with leather, using leather to wrap the box for easier production. In existing technology, patent CN212878097U discloses a fully automatic eyeglass case wrapping machine, including a wrapping mechanism, a first feeding unit, a second feeding unit, a first discharging unit, and a scheduling mechanism. The wrapping mechanism assembles and fits the box body module and the wrapping module.

This fully automatic packaging box wrapping machine has a compact structure, automates the wrapping operation, improves the yield and efficiency of packaging box wrapping production, and reduces costs.
[0003] However, its first feeding unit uses a single suction cup to control the transfer of the packaging box between three positions, requiring the suction cup to grip and release twice to complete the feeding of the packaging box, which greatly affects the feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies, this solution provides a shell material feeding mechanism for a fully automated packaging box wrapping production line.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this solution without creative effort are within the protection scope of this solution.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment designs a shell material feeding mechanism 2 for a fully automatic packaging box wrapping production line, including three stations: a picking station, a heating station, and a transfer station. The picking station provides shell material A1 to be picked up by the shell material feeding mechanism 2. Shell material A1 can be transported to the picking station by a conveyor belt or other structure for the shell material feeding mechanism 2 to pick up. The heating station is equipped with a heating table 26, which heats shell material A1 when it is placed on it. An electric heating wire can be installed inside the heating table 26 to heat the shell material A1. The transfer station is used for storing shell material A1, which can be transferred outwards by a transfer tray 210.
[0021] The three stations—picking up, heating, and transferring—are arranged in a straight line to facilitate the transfer of shell material A1 between different stations. In addition, the three stations are located at the same height, which facilitates the synchronous gripping of shell material A1 by different suction cups.
[0022] A first robotic arm and a second robotic arm are respectively installed on opposite sides of the heating station. The first robotic arm includes a first translation mechanism 21, a first lifting device 22, and a shell material suction cup frame; the first lifting device 22 is fixed to the moving end of the first translation mechanism 21; the shell material suction cup frame is fixed to the lifting end of the first lifting device 22; a first suction cup 24 and a second suction cup 25 are installed on the shell material suction cup frame, and the first suction cup 24 and the second suction cup 25 are arranged one in front of the other along the conveying direction of the shell material A1. The second robotic arm includes a second translation mechanism 27, a second lifting device 29, and a pallet frame 28; the second lifting device 29 is fixed to the moving end of the second translation mechanism 27; the pallet frame 28 is fixed to the lifting end of the second lifting device 29; a transfer pallet 210 is fixed on the pallet frame 28.
[0023] The first translation mechanism 21 and the second translation mechanism 27 can both include a track mounting base, a translation cylinder, a horizontal track, and a horizontal slide. Compared with the structure of a moving module, this significantly reduces component costs. The horizontal track is mounted on the track mounting base, the horizontal slide slides in slidable engagement with the horizontal track, and the cylinder connects the track mounting base and the horizontal slide, controlling the horizontal movement of the horizontal slide. The first lifting device 22 and the second lifting device 29 can both employ lifting cylinders, thereby reducing component costs.
[0024] Both the heating table 26 and the transfer tray 210 have grooves on their top surfaces, allowing the shell material A1 to be placed into the grooves, thus facilitating the limiting and positioning of the shell material A1, and also facilitating the heating of the shell material A1. During the transfer process between the material picking station, the heating station, and the transfer station, the shell opening of the shell material A1 faces upwards.
[0025] In this embodiment, the shell material feeding mechanism 2 operates as follows: The first robotic arm uses the first suction cup 24 to pick up shell material A1 from the picking station and place it onto the heating table 26, where the heating table 26 heats the shell material A1. Simultaneously, the first robotic arm uses the second suction cup 25 to pick up shell material A1 from the heating table 26 and place it onto the transfer tray 210 at the transfer station. The first suction cup 24 and the second suction cup 25 perform synchronous picking, and the same displacement action of the first robotic arm enables the transfer of two shell materials A1, i.e., shell material A1 is transferred between the picking station and the heating station, and between the heating station and the transfer station, effectively improving processing efficiency. After receiving shell material A1, the transfer tray 210 allows the second robotic arm to move the shell material A1 from the transfer station outwards.
[0026] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation; it is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom remain within the scope of this technology.
