Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotic arms, and in particular to a box lid pressing robotic arm. Background Technology

[0002] After the boxes and lids are produced, in order to save storage space, workers usually stack the boxes from largest to smallest into box groups, press the large lids onto the top of the box groups, and then stack the lids from largest to smallest into lid groups. Since the diameter of the large lids is similar to that of the large boxes, it is difficult to install the large lids onto the large boxes using conventional installation methods. In this case, it is necessary to manually press the outer edge of the box towards the center of the box, then press part of the outer edge of the box into the lid, and then press the lid onto the box to complete the lid installation. This manual process for installing lids on boxes has problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity for workers, and high cost, and it cannot meet the requirements of large-scale mass production and automated production for enterprises.
