Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machinery technology, and in particular discloses an automatic and manual combined box packing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing production lines, the packaging process directly impacts factory efficiency and costs. This is because production lines often face the challenge of fluctuating production capacity. For seasonal consumer industries such as food and gifts, orders surge during peak seasons, and efficient automated production lines can improve packaging efficiency. However, during off-seasons, the high energy consumption and maintenance costs of automated equipment lead to a surge in per-box packaging costs. Furthermore, with the diversification of market demand, the manufacturing industry is undergoing a transformation from large-scale standardized production to multi-variety, small-batch, and customized production models. However, the integrated equipment of automated production lines often requires customized design for specific product sizes, shapes, and packaging specifications. It has poor compatibility with irregularly shaped products, fragile items, or mixed-specification packaging. Moreover, subsequent maintenance requires professional technicians, and equipment modification and debugging cycles are long, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of rapid product iteration. For small and medium-sized enterprises or scenarios with large fluctuations in production scale, this can easily lead to idle equipment and wasted investment. The purely manual packing method has the advantages of high flexibility, low investment cost and easy maintenance. It is widely used in small-batch production or customized orders. Therefore, it is necessary to design a production line that combines automatic and manual processes. This can meet the production efficiency and demand during peak seasons and switch to manual production during off-seasons, thus solving the problem of excessive energy consumption of automated production lines during off-seasons. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic and manual combined packing mechanism.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic and manual combined box packing mechanism, including a box conveyor belt, a material conveyor belt, an automatic box packing area and a manual box packing area arranged along the conveyor belt conveying direction, with the conveyor belt passing through the automatic box packing area and the manual box packing area in sequence; the automatic box packing area has a picking device arranged above the box conveyor belt and the material conveyor belt, and the picking device has a movable first picking element; when the external material and the external box are respectively conveyed to the area below the picking device via the material conveyor belt and the box conveyor belt, the first picking element transfers the external material into the external box to complete the box packing;

[0005] The manual packing area is equipped with a manual workbench, a box-pushing device, and a box-carrying platform. The manual workbench is adjacent to the material conveyor belt, and the box-carrying platform is located on the side of the manual packing area closer to the automatic packing area. The two ends of the box-carrying platform lead to the box conveyor belt and the manual workbench, respectively. The box-pushing device is located on the side of the box conveyor belt away from the box-carrying platform. The box-pushing device is used to push the outer boxes from the box conveyor belt to the box-carrying platform. When the manual packing area is in use, the automatic packing area is not in use. The outer boxes pass directly through the automatic packing area with the box conveyor belt and are pushed to the box-carrying platform by the box-pushing device. The outer boxes in the box-carrying platform are then manually transferred to the manual workbench. At the same time, the outer materials pass directly through the automatic packing area with the material conveyor belt and enter the manual packing area, and are then manually transferred to the outer boxes to complete the packing.

[0006] Furthermore, the manual workbench has a first workbench and a second workbench, with a material conveyor belt located between the first and second workbench; the box conveyor belt includes a fixed section and a removable section; the fixed section passes through the automatic boxing area and extends to the manual boxing area, while the removable section is located within the manual boxing area and connects with the fixed section to form a continuous conveying channel when the automatic boxing area is activated; the second workbench is located between the material conveyor belt and the removable section. When the manual boxing area is activated, the removable section moves laterally out from between the fixed sections, forming an operating opening on the box conveyor belt. The opening is located outside the second workbench, allowing operators to enter the second workbench for manual operation.

[0007] Furthermore, the manual packing area is equipped with a sensing device, which is used to detect whether there are external boxes piled up on the loading platform. The sensing device works in conjunction with the box pushing device to control the box pushing device to push the boxes.

[0008] Furthermore, the manual packing area also has a return conveyor belt, which is located on the side of the manual packing area away from the automatic packing area. The return conveyor belt is used to connect the manual workbench and the box conveyor belt. External boxes with external materials on the manual workbench are manually transferred to the return conveyor belt and then transported back to the box conveyor belt via the return conveyor belt.

[0009] Furthermore, a box transfer device is provided on the side of the box conveyor belt away from the return conveyor belt. The box transfer device has a second picking member. When an external box containing external materials is transferred from the return conveyor belt to the box conveyor belt, the second picking member extends from above the box conveyor belt to the return conveyor belt and picks up the external box. The box transfer device is used to assist the external box in moving to the box conveyor belt and prevent the external box from getting stuck at the connection between the return conveyor belt and the box conveyor belt.

[0010] Furthermore, both the box conveyor belt and the material conveyor belt are equipped with a guiding device at the end away from the manual packing area. The guiding device has two parallel guide plates, one end of which has a guide slope. A straight guide channel is formed between the two guide plates. After the external material or external box enters the guide channel through the guide slope, it is limited between the two guide plates to prevent the external material or external box from shifting position, which facilitates subsequent packing operations.

[0011] Furthermore, the automatic packing area also has a pushing device and a loading platform. The loading platform is located between the material conveyor belt and the box conveyor belt. The pushing device is located on the side of the material conveyor belt away from the loading platform and has a pushing plate. The pushing device pushes one or more external materials on the material conveyor belt onto the loading platform at one time. The picking device transfers all the external materials on the loading platform to the external box at one time to complete the packing.

[0012] Furthermore, the platform is equipped with a first limiting device and a second limiting device, which are located at opposite ends of the platform. The first limiting device has a first limiting plate, and the second limiting device has a second limiting plate and a third limiting plate that intersect each other. The first and third limiting plates are parallel, and the second limiting plate is parallel to the pusher plate. The third limiting plate is used to stop external materials on the conveyor belt from moving with the conveyor belt, facilitating the pusher device to push the material. When the pusher device pushes the material, multiple external materials are sandwiched between the second limiting plate and the pusher plate. This allows multiple external materials to be positioned on the same horizontal line. When the pushing device moves the external materials towards the platform, the second limiting device moves synchronously. After the pushing action is completed, the pushing device resets. The pushing action can be performed once or multiple times. After the pushing is completed, the first limiting device moves towards the second limiting device, so that the external materials are clamped between the first limiting plate and the third limiting plate, ensuring that multiple materials on the same horizontal line are closely attached to each other, making it easy for the picking device to grab and transfer them. After the external materials are placed into the external box by the picking device, the second limiting device and the first limiting device reset.

[0013] Furthermore, the manual packing area has a third limiting device, and the third limiting device has a fourth limiting plate; the box conveyor belt has multiple rollers, and there is a gap between two adjacent rollers; when the automatic packing area is activated, the fourth limiting plate is located below the box conveyor belt; when the manual packing area is activated, the fourth limiting plate rises from below the box conveyor belt and extends through the gap to restrict the movement of external boxes on the box conveyor belt, so as to facilitate the box pushing device to perform box pushing operation.

[0014] Furthermore, the automatic packing area also has a box fixing device, which is used to restrict the movement of the external box with the box conveyor belt during the packing operation. The box fixing device has two parallel clamps, and each clamp has a flexible locking section at both ends. The bent locking section and the clamp form a 90° locking angle, and the two clamps form four locking angles. When the external box is moved between the two clamps, the four locking sections are pressed against the four corners of the box, and the four locking sections bend towards the external box simultaneously, so that the four locking angles clamp the four corners of the box respectively. At this time, the external box is in contact with the box conveyor belt, but does not move with the box conveyor belt. After the picking device puts the external material into the external box, the locking sections straighten and return to their original position. At this time, the external box containing the external material continues to move with the box conveyor belt.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The automatic packing area and the manual packing area of ​​this utility model share the same material conveyor belt and box conveyor belt, which combines the automatic packing area and the manual packing area. This can meet the production efficiency and demand during peak seasons and can be converted into a manual production line during off-seasons, solving the problem of excessive energy consumption of the automated production line during off-seasons. When the manual packing area is in use, the movable section of the box conveyor belt moves laterally from between the fixed sections to form an operating gap, allowing operators to enter the second workbench through the gap. This makes the manual packing area consist of two parallel manual workbenches, which enhances the working efficiency of the manual packing area. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic and manual combined packing mechanism, including a box conveyor belt 3, a material conveyor belt 4, an automatic packing area 1 and a manual packing area 2 arranged along the conveyor belt conveying direction, the conveyor belt passing through the automatic packing area 1 and the manual packing area 2 in sequence; the automatic packing area 1 has a picking device 11 arranged above the box conveyor belt 3 and the material conveyor belt 4, the picking device 11 has a movable first picking element 111; when the automatic packing area (2) is activated, the external material 5 and the external box 6 are respectively transported to the area below the picking device 11 via the material conveyor belt 4 and the box conveyor belt 3, and the first picking element 111 transfers the external material 5 into the external box 6 to complete the packing;

[0024] The manual packing area 2 is equipped with a manual workbench, a box-pushing device 23, and a box-carrying platform 24. The manual workbench is adjacent to the material conveyor belt 4. The box-carrying platform 24 is located on the side of the manual packing area 2 closest to the automatic packing area 1, and both ends of the box-carrying platform 24 are connected to the box conveyor belt 3 and the manual workbench, respectively. The box-pushing device 23 is located on the side of the box conveyor belt 3 away from the box-carrying platform 24. The box-pushing device 23 is used to push the external box 6 from the box conveyor belt 3 to the box-carrying platform 24. When the manual packing area 2 is in use, the automatic packing area 1 is deactivated. The external box 6 passes directly through the automatic packing area 1 with the box conveyor belt 3 and is pushed to the box-carrying platform 24 by the box-pushing device 23. The external box 6 in the box-carrying platform 24 is then manually transferred to the manual workbench. At the same time, the external material 5 passes directly through the automatic packing area 1 with the material conveyor belt 4 and enters the manual packing area 2, and is manually transferred to the external box 6 to complete the packing.

[0025] In actual use, the box conveyor belt 3 and the material conveyor belt 4 pass through the automatic packing area 1 and the manual packing area 2. However, the material conveyor belt 4 is only responsible for transporting materials to the automatic packing area 1 or the manual packing area 2, while the box conveyor belt 3, after completing its box transport task, will continue to transport the external box 6 containing the external material 5 forward to other mechanisms, such as strapping, palletizing, etc. In this embodiment, following the transmission direction of the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt first passes through the automatic packing area 1 and then through the manual packing area 2. The pickup device 11 has a first drive assembly and a second drive assembly. The first drive assembly is used to drive the first pickup 111 to move horizontally, that is, to move between the material conveying line and the box conveying line. The second drive assembly is used to drive the first pickup 111 to move longitudinally, that is, to drive the first pickup 111 to move closer to or away from the external material 5. The first pickup 111 includes two parallel flat plates, and the external material 5 is sandwiched between the two flat plates.

[0026] In this embodiment, the height of the material conveyor belt 4 is higher than the height of the box conveyor belt 3, and the width of the material conveyor belt 4 is smaller than the width of the box conveyor belt 3. The height of the manual workbench is the same as the height of the box conveyor belt 3, and the height of the box loading platform 24 is lower than the height of the material conveyor belt 4, passing under the material conveyor belt 4. This design makes it easier for packing personnel to pick up the boxes, and the workflow is more reasonable. The box pushing device 23 has a third drive component and a box pushing plate. When the automatic box packing area 1 is started, the box pushing plate is flush with the side of the box conveyor belt 3 away from the material conveyor belt 4, which plays a guiding role. When the manual box packing area 2 is started, the third drive component drives the box pushing plate to reciprocate in the horizontal direction.

[0027] Specifically, the manual workbench has a first workbench 21 and a second workbench 22, and the material conveyor belt 4 is located between the first workbench 21 and the second workbench 22; the box conveyor belt 3 includes a fixed section 31 and a removable section 32; the fixed section 31 passes through the automatic boxing area 1 and extends to the manual boxing area 2, and the removable section 32 is located in the manual boxing area 2, connecting with the fixed section 31 to form a continuous conveying channel when the automatic boxing area 1 is activated; the second workbench 22 is located between the material conveyor belt 4 and the removable section 32. When the manual boxing area 2 is activated, the removable section 32 moves laterally out from between the fixed sections 31, forming an operating opening on the box conveyor belt 3. The opening is located outside the second workbench 22, and the operator enters the second workbench 22 through the opening to perform manual operation.

[0028] In actual use, a first workbench 21 and a second workbench 22 are respectively provided on both sides of the material conveyor belt 4. This design allows for simultaneous boxing operations on both sides of a material conveyor belt 4, ensuring production capacity during manual boxing. The bottom of the movable section 32 has lockable rollers. When the automatic boxing area 1 is activated, the conveying plane of the movable section 32 and the fixed section 31 is connected. At this time, the second workbench 22 is sandwiched between the movable section and the material conveyor belt 4. When the manual boxing area 2 is activated, the movable section can be moved out of the box conveyor belt 3 via the bottom rollers. The place where the movable section was originally placed becomes the operating area of ​​the operator of the second workbench 22.

[0029] Specifically, the manual packing area 2 is equipped with a sensing device, which is used to detect whether there are external boxes 6 piled up on the box loading platform 24. The sensing device works in conjunction with the box pushing device 23 to control the box pushing device 23 to push the boxes.

[0030] In actual use, the box pushing device 23 does not push the boxes on the box conveyor belt 3 into the box carrying platform 24 at a fixed frequency. Instead, it works in conjunction with the sensing device. When the sensing device detects that there are boxes on the box carrying platform 24 and the worktable, the box pushing device 23 will not start.

[0031] Specifically, the manual packing area 2 also has a return conveyor belt 25, which is located on the side of the manual packing area 2 away from the automatic packing area 1. The return conveyor belt 25 is used to connect the manual workbench and the box conveyor belt 3. The external box 6 with external materials 5 on the manual workbench is manually transferred to the return conveyor belt 25 and then transported back to the box conveyor belt 3 via the return conveyor belt 25.

[0032] In actual use, since the material conveyor belt 4 only passes through the automatic packing area 1 and the manual packing area 2, and the box conveyor belt 3 also leads to other mechanisms such as strapping and palletizing, a return conveyor belt 25 is provided between the manual packing area 2 and the box conveyor belt 3. The height of the return conveyor belt 25 is the same as the height of the manual workbench and the box conveyor belt 3, and the conveying direction of the return conveyor belt 25 leads to the box conveyor belt 3.

[0033] Specifically, a box transfer device 26 is provided on the side of the box conveyor belt 3 away from the return conveyor belt 25. The box transfer device 26 has a second pickup element. When the external box 6 containing external material 5 is transferred into the box conveyor belt 3 via the return conveyor belt 25, the suction cup extends from above the box conveyor belt 3 to the return conveyor belt 25 and sucks up the external box 6, assisting the external box 6 to move to the box conveyor belt 3, and preventing the external box 6 from getting stuck at the connection between the return conveyor belt 25 and the box conveyor belt 3.

[0034] In actual use, because the rollers of the return conveyor belt 25 are perpendicular to the rollers of the box conveyor belt 3, the external box 6 containing external materials 5 may experience jamming or displacement when being conveyed from the return conveyor belt 25 to the box conveyor belt 3. Setting up a box transfer device 26 on the side of the box conveyor belt 3 away from the return conveyor belt 25 can ensure the smooth conveying of the external box 6. In this embodiment, the second pickup is a straight arm with a suction cup. The suction force generated by the vacuum suction cup pulls the external box 6 containing external materials 5 from the return conveyor belt 25 to the box conveyor belt 25.

[0035] Specifically, both the box conveyor belt 3 and the material conveyor belt 4 are equipped with a guiding device at the end away from the manual packing area 2. The guiding device has two parallel guide plates 7 with guide slopes. A straight guide channel is formed between the two guide plates 7. After the external material 5 or the external box 6 enters the guide channel through the guide slopes, it is limited between the two guide plates 7 to prevent the external material 5 or the external box 6 from shifting position, which facilitates the subsequent packing operation.

[0036] In actual use, the guiding device allows the boxes and materials to be conveyed at a specific angle, ensuring accuracy during subsequent automatic and manual boxing. One guide plate 7 of the guiding device is fixed to the frame, with its guiding plane flush with one side of the conveyor belt. The other guide plate 7 is adjustablely fixed to the frame via screws and brackets. By adjusting the length of the screws and brackets, it can accommodate boxes and materials of different widths. The end of the guide plate 7 facing the external material 5 or external box 6 is bent outward to form a guiding slope, and a guiding channel is formed between the two guide plates 7.

[0037] Specifically, the automatic packing area 1 also has a pushing device 12 and a loading platform 13. The loading platform 13 is located between the material conveyor belt 4 and the box conveyor belt 3. The pushing device 12 is located on the side of the material conveyor belt 4 away from the loading platform 13. The pushing device 12 has a pushing plate 121. The pushing device 12 pushes one or more external materials 5 on the material conveyor belt 4 onto the loading platform 13 at one time. The picking device 11 transfers one or more external materials 5 on the loading platform 13 into the external box 6 at one time to complete the packing.

[0038] Specifically, the platform 13 is equipped with a first limiting device 14 and a second limiting device 15, which are located at opposite ends of the platform 13. The first limiting device 14 has a first limiting plate 141, and the second limiting device 15 has a second limiting plate 151 and a third limiting plate 152 that are perpendicularly connected to each other. The first limiting plate 141 and the third limiting plate 152 are parallel, and the second limiting plate 151 is parallel to the pusher plate 121. The third limiting plate 152 is used to stop external materials 5 on the material conveyor belt 4 from moving with the conveyor belt, facilitating the pusher device 12 to push the material. When the pusher device 12 pushes the material, multiple external materials 5 are clamped between the second limiting plate. Between the pusher plate 151 and the pusher plate 121, multiple external materials 5 are positioned on the same horizontal line. When the pusher device 12 pushes the external materials 5 towards the platform 13, the second limiting device 15 moves synchronously. After the pusher action is completed, the pusher device 12 resets. The pusher action can be performed once or multiple times. After the pusher action is completed, the first limiting device 14 moves towards the second limiting device 15, so that the external materials 5 are sandwiched between the first limiting plate 141 and the third limiting plate 152, ensuring that multiple materials on the same horizontal line are closely attached to each other, which facilitates the picking device 11 to grab and transfer them. After the external materials 5 are placed into the external box 6 by the picking device 11, the second limiting device 15 and the first limiting device 14 reset.

[0039] In actual use, the pushing device 12 pushes three external materials 5 onto the platform 13 at a time. After two pushing actions, the picking device 11 is activated, meaning the picking device 11 transfers six external materials 5 at a time. To ensure the success rate of the picking device 11 in transferring six external materials 5, a first limiting device 14 and a second limiting device 15 are provided to ensure that the six external materials 5 are closely packed together for easy gripping. The pushing device 12 has a fourth driving component, and the pushing plate 121 is driven by the fourth driving component to reciprocate. The first limiting device 14 has a fifth driving component, and the second limiting device 15 has a sixth driving component. The platform 13 is also equipped with a sensing component that cooperates with the first limiting device 14, the second limiting device 15, and the pushing device 12. The sensing component detects the position of the external materials 5 on the platform 13, allowing the pushing plate 121 to control the pushing depth, and the second and third limiting devices to ensure that the multiple external materials 5 are closely packed together.

[0040] Specifically, the manual packing area 2 has a third limiting device, and the third limiting device has a fourth limiting plate 27; the box conveyor belt 3 has multiple rollers, and there is a gap between two adjacent rollers; when the automatic packing area 1 is activated, the fourth limiting plate 27 is located below the box conveyor belt 3; when the manual packing area 2 is activated, the fourth limiting plate 27 rises from below the box conveyor belt 3 and extends through the gap to restrict the movement of the external box 6 on the box conveyor belt 3, so as to facilitate the box pushing device 23 to perform box pushing operation.

[0041] In actual use, the box conveyor belt 3 has multiple rollers, which are connected to each other via chains and gears. When the manual packing area 2 is activated, the removable section 32 of the conveyor belt moves out of the box conveyor belt 3, forming a gap. To prevent the box from falling out of the gap, a third limiting device is set at the end of the box conveyor belt 3 near the manual packing area 2. The fourth limiting plate 27 of the third limiting device can extend through the gap between the rollers to prevent the box from falling without obstructing the operation of the box conveyor belt 3.

[0042] Specifically, the automatic packing area 1 also has a box fixing device 16, which is used to restrict the movement of the external box 6 with the box conveyor belt 3 during the packing operation. The box fixing device 16 has two parallel clamps, and each clamp has a flexible locking section at both ends. The bent locking section and the clamp form a 90° locking angle, and the two clamps form four locking angles. When the external box 6 is moved between the two clamps, the four locking sections are close to the four corners of the box and bend towards the external box 6 simultaneously, so that the four locking angles clamp the four corners of the box respectively. At this time, the external box 6 is in contact with the box conveyor belt 3, but does not move with the box conveyor belt 3. After the picking device 11 puts the external material 5 into the external box 6, the locking section straightens and resets. At this time, the external box 6 containing the external material 5 continues to move with the box conveyor belt 3.

[0043] In actual use, to prevent the outer box 6 from continuing to move with the box conveyor belt 3 when the picking device 11 puts the outer material 5 into the outer box 6, a box fixing device 16 is set in the automatic boxing area 1. The box fixing device 16 has a pair of parallel clamps, which are set on different sliders of the same linear slide module. The distance between the two clamps can be adjusted by driving the linear slide module. The locking angle is 90°.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.

The automatic / manual combined packing mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that: The manual packing area (2) also has a return conveyor belt (25), which is located on the side of the manual packing area (2) away from the automatic packing area (1). The return conveyor belt (25) is used to connect the manual workbench and the box conveyor belt (3). The external box (6) with external materials (5) on the manual workbench is manually transferred to the return conveyor belt (25) and then transported back to the box conveyor belt (3) via the return conveyor belt (25).

5. The automatic / manual combined packing mechanism according to claim 4, characterized in that: The box conveyor belt (3) is provided with a box transfer device (26) on the side away from the return conveyor belt (25). The box transfer device (26) has a second pick-up component. When the external box (6) containing external material (5) is transferred into the box conveyor belt (3) via the return conveyor belt (25), the second pick-up component extends from above the box conveyor belt (3) to the return conveyor belt (25) and picks up the external box (6). The box transfer device (26) is used to assist the external box (6) in moving to the box conveyor belt (3) and prevent the external box (6) from getting stuck at the connection between the return conveyor belt (25) and the box conveyor belt (3).

6. The automatic / manual combined packing mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that: Both the box conveyor belt (3) and the material conveyor belt (4) are equipped with a guide device at the end away from the manual packing area (2). The guide device has two parallel guide plates (7). One end of the guide plate (7) has a guide slope. A straight guide channel is formed between the two guide plates (7). After the external material (5) or the external box (6) enters the guide channel through the guide slope, it is limited between the two guide plates (7) to prevent the position of the external material (5) or the external box (6) from shifting, which facilitates the subsequent packing operation.

7. The automatic / manual combined packing mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that: The automatic packing area (1) also has a pushing device (12) and a loading platform (13). The loading platform (13) is located between the material conveyor belt (4) and the box conveyor belt (3). The pushing device (12) is located on the side of the material conveyor belt (4) away from the loading platform (13). The pushing device (12) has a pushing plate (121) that is parallel to the conveying direction of the material conveyor belt (4). After the pushing device (12) pushes one or more external materials (5) on the material conveyor belt (4) onto the loading platform (13) at one time, the picking device (11) transfers all the external materials (5) on the loading platform (13) into the external box (6) to complete the packing.

8. The automatic / manual combined packing mechanism according to claim 7, characterized in that: The platform (13) is provided with a first limiting device (14) and a second limiting device (15), which are located at opposite ends of the platform (13). The first limiting device (14) has a first limiting plate (141), and the second limiting device (15) has a second limiting plate (151) and a third limiting plate (152) that intersect each other. The first limiting plate (141) and the third limiting plate (152) are parallel, and the second limiting plate (151) is parallel to the pusher plate (121). The third limiting plate (152) is used to stop external materials (5) on the material conveyor belt (4) from moving with the conveyor belt, so as to facilitate the pusher device (12) to push the material. When the pusher device (12) pushes the material, multiple external materials (5) are clamped between the second limiting plate (151) and the third limiting plate (152). 1) Between the pusher plate (121), multiple external materials (5) are located on the same horizontal line. When the pusher device (12) pushes the external materials (5) towards the platform (13), the second limiting device (15) moves synchronously. After the pusher action is completed, the pusher device (12) resets. The pusher action can be performed once or multiple times. After the pusher action is completed, the first limiting device (14) moves towards the second limiting device (15), so that the external materials (5) are sandwiched between the first limiting plate (141) and the third limiting plate (152), so that multiple materials on the same horizontal line are close to each other, which is convenient for the picking device (11) to pick up and transfer. After the external materials (5) are put into the external box (6) by the picking device (11), the second limiting device (15) and the first limiting device (14) reset.

9. The automatic / manual combined packing mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that: The manual packing area (2) has a third limiting device, and the third limiting device has a fourth limiting plate (27); the box conveyor belt (3) has multiple rollers, and there is a gap between two adjacent rollers; when the automatic packing area (1) is activated, the fourth limiting plate (27) is located below the box conveyor belt (3); when the manual packing area (2) is activated, the fourth limiting plate (27) rises from below the box conveyor belt (3) and extends through the gap to restrict the movement of the external box (6) on the box conveyor belt (3), so as to facilitate the box pushing device (23) to push the box.

10. The automatic / manual combined packing mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that: The automatic packing area (1) also has a box fixing device (16), which is used to restrict the movement of the external box (6) with the box conveyor belt (3) during the packing operation. The box fixing device (16) has two parallel clamps, and each clamp has a bendable locking section at both ends. The bendable locking section and the clamp form a 90° locking angle, and the two clamps form four locking angles. When the external box (6) is moved between the two clamps, the four locking sections are close to the four corners of the box and bend towards the external box (6) at the same time, so that the four locking angles clamp the four corners of the box respectively. At this time, the external box (6) is in contact with the box conveyor belt (3) but does not move with the box conveyor belt (3). After the picking device (11) puts the external material (5) into the external box (6), the locking section straightens and resets. At this time, the external box (6) containing the external material (5) continues to move with the box conveyor belt (3).
