Package Forming Device Erecting Flat Cardboard Goods
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing packaging technologies for flat cardboard goods, which can vary in size, shape, and surface properties, often result in rough handling and potential damage, especially for sensitive products like perfumes, due to inadequate handling and contact during the packaging process.
Innovation Solution
A package forming device that includes a collecting section, a conveying device, a stop device, and an erection device to gently lift and align flat cardboard goods in an upright position, allowing for controlled contact and compaction, with adjustable components to accommodate different product parameters, such as size and surface sensitivity, to minimize damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional packaging technologies are used for flat cardboard goods, then packaging efficiency is maintained, but the goods are subjected to rough handling and potential surface damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary erecting device that acts as a mediator between the conveying system and the packaging process. This device gently erects flat cardboard goods from a horizontal to vertical position using controlled mechanical action, avoiding direct rough contact that would cause surface damage while maintaining packaging throughput
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs dynamic adjustment mechanisms in the conveying and erecting devices that can adapt their speed, position, and contact force based on the specific characteristics of different cardboard goods. This dynamic control allows gentle handling of sensitive surfaces while maintaining efficient packaging operations
2Productivity
If the flat cardboard goods are conveyed quickly to increase productivity, then packaging efficiency improves, but the contact time and risk of damage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The conveying device incorporates dynamic speed control that adjusts the conveyance velocity based on the specific product being packaged. For goods with sensitive surfaces, the system automatically reduces speed to minimize contact time and damage risk, while maintaining higher speeds for more robust products to preserve productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback control system using sensors to detect the presence, position, and surface characteristics of cardboard goods. This feedback information is used to dynamically adjust conveying speed and erecting force in real-time, optimizing the balance between packaging speed and surface protection
