Detailed Description

In order that the above-recited objects, features and advantages of the present application will become more readily apparent, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments that are illustrated in the appended drawings.

Under the condition that a merchant needs to mail the goods related to the order to a user, the merchant can put the goods related to the order into a packing box (such as a cardboard box and the like), then the packing box is sealed, then the express face order of the order can be printed, the express face order of the order can be automatically pasted on the outer surface of the packing box, and then the packing box can be entrusted to a logistics company, so that the logistics company distributes the packing box to the user, and the goods related to the order can be mailed to the user.

In one mode, the packing and labeling work of 'loading goods related to the order into a packing box, sealing the box, printing an express delivery face order of the order and automatically pasting the express delivery face order of the order on the outer surface of the packing box' can be manually executed by logistics personnel of a merchant.

However, the inventor finds that in the case that the order quantity of the merchant is small, the time spent by logistics personnel of the merchant for executing the process of boxing and labeling the above-mentioned goods according to the order for a small quantity of goods respectively related to the order is not long, and the time spent is acceptable. For example, because of the small number of orders, the total length of time it takes to perform the above-described case-filling labeling work individually for each order as a whole tends not to be long, and it appears that the efficiency is not very low as a whole, and is sometimes acceptable.

However, in some cases, the electricity Shang Ping may be used to perform a sales promotion, and during the sales promotion, some goods of the merchant may be placed in a large number of orders by a large number of users, so that the time spent in executing the process of boxing and labeling the goods related to the large number of orders according to the orders by logistics personnel of the merchant is very long. For example, because of the large number of orders, the total length of time it takes to perform the above-described case-filling labeling work individually for each order as a whole can be very long, and thus, the efficiency as a whole is very low, and often unacceptable.

In this way, there is a need to reduce the time period consumed in the process of executing the above-described boxing and labeling work in accordance with orders for the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders.

In order to achieve the object of "reducing the time period spent in executing the above-described boxing and labeling work on the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders in accordance with the orders", the inventors have conceived another way: the method comprises the steps that more logistics personnel can be provided for a merchant, the more logistics personnel of the merchant can share the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders to execute the boxing and labeling work according to the orders, the orders shared by different logistics personnel of the merchant are different, the logistics personnel of the merchant can execute the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to the orders respectively shared by the logistics personnel in parallel, and the quantity of the orders manually executed by the logistics personnel of the merchant is smaller than the total quantity of the orders of the large number of orders received by the merchant, so that the time consumed in the process of executing the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to the large number of orders can be reduced as a whole, and the efficiency of the whole boxing and labeling work can be improved. However, the inventors have found that labor costs are increased by adding more merchant logistics personnel.

In this way, there is also a need to reduce the labor cost while reducing the time taken to execute the above-described boxing and labeling work for the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders according to the orders.

In order to achieve the object of "reducing labor costs while reducing the time period consumed in the process of performing the above-described boxing and labeling work in accordance with orders for commodities respectively involved in a large number of orders", the inventors have conceived another way: the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine can be arranged for a merchant to assist logistics personnel of the merchant to finish the boxing and labeling work.

For example, after goods are put into the packaging box by logistics personnel of a merchant, the packaging box can be automatically sealed by an automatic box sealing machine, and then the packaged packaging box is delivered by an automatic labeling machine to automatically print an order express face sheet and the order express face sheet is automatically adhered to the outer surface of the packaged packaging box.

Therefore, the box sealing work and the labeling work can be decoupled from logistics personnel of a merchant respectively, and the logistics personnel can not participate in the box work and the labeling work in real time, so that the labor cost can be reduced.

In addition, in general, the working efficiency of the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine is often higher than that of logistics personnel (especially those with inexperienced) of merchants during working.

For example, the automatic box sealer is often higher than the efficiency of the manual work of the commodity circulation personnel of trade company to the packing box sealing of packing box to the automatic efficiency of the express delivery face list of printing the order of automatic labeller and the express delivery face list of pasting the order in the surface automation of packing box often is higher than the efficiency of the manual work of the commodity circulation personnel of trade company to print the express delivery face list and the express delivery face list of pasting the order in the surface automation of packing box. The purpose of reducing labor cost while reducing the time spent in executing the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders can be achieved.

However, after the automatic box sealer and the automatic labeler are provided for the merchant to assist the logistics personnel of the merchant in completing the box labeling work, feedback of the merchant to a large number of situations that the logistics personnel of the merchant assist the logistics personnel of the merchant to execute the box labeling work according to the orders for a large number of commodities respectively related to the orders is received, and statistical analysis is performed on the feedback, so that the following finding:

on the one hand, the purpose of "the automatic box sealer and the automatic labeler assist the logistics personnel of the merchant to execute the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders" can be achieved "to reduce the time spent in executing the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders and simultaneously reduce the labor cost" is sometimes achieved. However, sometimes "the automatic box sealer and the automatic labeler assist the logistics personnel of the merchant to perform the above-mentioned boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to the large number of orders" but fail to achieve the purpose of reducing the time period consumed in the process of performing the above-mentioned boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to the large number of orders while reducing the labor cost ".

On the other hand, hardware cost of "assisting logistics personnel of a merchant to execute the boxing and labeling work according to orders for a large number of commodities respectively related to orders by the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine" is high, occupied area is large, and the equipment work for the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine in advance is complex and difficult.

For the above-mentioned "aspect", the inventor explored, counted and analyzed the "reason that" the logistic staff assisting the merchant through the automatic box sealer and the automatic labeler performs the above-mentioned box labeling work according to the order for the commodity related to the large number of orders, but fails to realize the "the reduction of the time period consumed in the process of performing the above-mentioned box labeling work according to the order for the commodity related to the large number of orders, and at the same time, the reduction of the labor cost' objective", and found that:

one merchant will often sell many goods, the sizes of the different goods sold are different, the number of goods related to different orders and/or the types of the related goods are different, and because the sizes of the different goods are also different, the sizes of the packaging boxes needed for loading the goods related to different orders are also different.

Sometimes, in a period of time, the goods involved in a large number of orders in which the merchant needs to perform the boxing and labeling work are unified (such as unified type and unified quantity), the sizes of the packing boxes used for boxing the goods respectively involved in each order in the large number of orders may be unified (such as the same and the like), and before the boxing and labeling work is performed on the goods respectively involved in each order in the large number of orders, logistics personnel of the merchant may manually perform adaptive setting on the automatic box sealer so that the automatic box sealer is applicable to the packing boxes with the unified size, and further the automatic box sealer can perform the work of automatically sealing the packing boxes with the unified size.

Therefore, for any one order in a large number of orders, after the commodity personnel of the merchant puts the commodity related to the order into the packaging box with the uniform size, the automatic box sealing machine is suitable for the size of the packaging box with the uniform size due to the fact that the automatic box sealing machine is arranged in a manual mode, so that the automatic box sealing machine can finish the work of automatically sealing the packaging box with the uniform size, and then the packaging box with the uniform size after box sealing is delivered to an automatic labeling machine to automatically print the express face order of the order and automatically paste the express face order of the order on the outer surface of the packaging box with the uniform size after box sealing. And in the process of continuously executing the box sealing and labeling work on the commodities in a large number of orders according to the orders, the automatic box sealing machine is not required to be repeatedly and manually set in an adaptive manner. Therefore, the purpose of reducing labor cost while reducing the time spent in executing the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders can be achieved.

However, sometimes, the products involved in a large number of orders for which the merchant needs to perform the boxing and labeling work are not uniform (for example, the types are not uniform and/or the number is not uniform, etc.), and then the sizes of the packing boxes for boxing the products respectively involved in the large number of orders are often not uniform (for example, are not all the same, etc.), before the boxing and labeling work is performed on the products respectively involved in the large number of orders, logistical personnel of the merchant can manually perform adaptive setting on the automatic box sealer so that the automatic box sealer is applicable to the packing boxes of the sizes of the products involved in the 1 st order in the large number of orders, and thus the automatic box sealer can perform the work of automatically sealing the packing boxes of the sizes applicable to the products involved in the 1 st order. A package of a size suitable for use with the merchandise to which the 1 st order relates comprising: a package box capable of accommodating (or placing) each commodity related to the 1 st order, and the like.

In this way, for the 1 st order in a large number of orders, after the commodity related to the 1 st order is put into the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 1 st order by the logistics personnel of the merchant, the automatic box sealer is applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 1 st order due to the fact that the automatic box sealer is adaptively set by ' manual ', so that the automatic box sealer can complete the work of automatically sealing the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 1 st order ', and then the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 1 st order after box sealing is delivered to the automatic labeling machine to automatically print the express face order of the 1 st order and automatically paste the express face order of the 1 st order on the outer surface of the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 1 st order after box sealing.

If the size of the commodity involved in the 2 nd order in the large number of orders is different from the size of the commodity involved in the 1 st order in the large number of orders, the size of the packing box capable of packing the commodity involved in the 2 nd order may be different from the size of the packing box capable of packing the commodity involved in the 1 st order, and if the size of the packing box capable of packing the commodity involved in the 2 nd order is different from the size of the packing box capable of packing the commodity involved in the 1 st order, logistics personnel of a merchant can manually adaptively set the automatic box sealer before the box labeling work is performed on the commodity involved in the 2 nd order, so that the automatic box sealer is applicable to the packing box of the size of the commodity involved in the 2 nd order in the large number of orders, and further, the automatic box sealer can automatically seal the packing box for the packing box applicable to the size of the commodity involved in the 2 nd order. A package of a size suitable for use with the merchandise to which order 2 relates comprising: a package box capable of accommodating (or placing) the respective products related to the 2 nd order, and the like.

In this way, for the 2 nd order in a large number of orders, after the commodity related to the 2 nd order is put into the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 2 nd order by the logistics personnel of the merchant, the automatic box sealer is applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 2 nd order due to the fact that the automatic box sealer is adaptively set by 'manual', so that the automatic box sealer can complete the work of automatically sealing the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 2 nd order, and then the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 2 nd order after box sealing is delivered to the automatic labeling machine to automatically print the express face order of the 2 nd order and automatically paste the express face order of the 2 nd order on the outer surface of the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the 2 nd order after box sealing.

Second, the same is true for the 3 rd order, 4 th order … …, and nth order among the large number of orders, and so on. N is a positive integer.

It can be seen that if the size of the commodity involved in the mth order is different from the size of the commodity involved in the mth-1 order in the plurality of orders, the size of the packing box capable of packing the commodity involved in the mth order may be different from the size of the packing box capable of packing the commodity involved in the mth-1 order, and if the size of the packing box capable of packing the commodity involved in the mth order is different from the size of the packing box capable of packing the commodity involved in the mth-1 order, the logistics personnel of the merchant may manually set the automatic box sealer to adapt the automatic box sealer to the size of the commodity involved in the mth order in the plurality of orders before the box sealer is performed for the commodity involved in the mth order, thereby enabling the automatic box sealer to perform the automatic box sealer for the packing box applicable to the size of the commodity involved in the mth order. A package of a size suitable for use with an article of commerce to which an mth order relates comprising: a package box capable of accommodating (or placing) each of the products related to the mth order, and the like.

In this way, for the mth order in a large number of orders, after the commodity related to the mth order is put into the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the mth order by the logistics personnel of the merchant, the automatic box sealer is applicable to the size of the commodity related to the mth order due to the fact that the automatic box sealer is adaptively set by ' manual ', so that the automatic box sealer can complete the work of automatically sealing the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the mth order ', and then the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the mth order after sealing is delivered to the automatic labeling machine to automatically print the express face order of the mth order and automatically paste the express face order of the mth order on the outer surface of the packaging box applicable to the size of the commodity related to the mth order after sealing. M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and M is less than or equal to N.

Therefore, in the process of executing the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for a large number of commodities respectively related to the orders within a period of time, logistics personnel of merchants are required to perform adaptive setting on the automatic box sealing machine for a plurality of times, and time is delayed for the adaptive setting on the automatic box sealing machine for a plurality of times, so that the time consumed in the process of executing the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for a large number of commodities respectively related to the orders is prolonged, and the purpose of reducing labor cost while reducing the time consumed in the process of executing the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for a large number of commodities respectively related to the orders is not achieved.

In view of this, the inventors have concluded that the objective of failing to achieve "reducing labor costs while reducing the time period consumed in executing the above-described boxing and labeling work on the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders in accordance with the orders" is that: the goods related to a large number of orders which are required to be packaged and labeled by a merchant are non-uniform (such as non-uniform types and/or non-uniform numbers), so that the sizes of packaging boxes for packaging the goods related to each order according to the orders are different, and further, in the process of executing the packaging and labeling work according to the orders for the goods related to a large number of orders within a period of time, logistics personnel of the merchant are required to manually perform adaptive setting on the automatic box sealing machine for a plurality of times.

However, the inventors have found that the situation where the products involved in a large number of orders for which the merchant needs to perform the boxing and labeling work are not uniform (e.g., the kinds are not uniform and/or the numbers are not uniform, etc.) often exists objectively, and is a situation that actually needs to be faced.

As described above, the inventors considered that there is a need for improvement of the technical solution in the scenario of "the commodities involved in a large number of orders for which the boxing and labeling work is required are not uniform (for example, the kinds are not uniform and/or the number is not uniform, etc.), in order to be able to achieve the purpose of" reducing the time period consumed in executing the above-described boxing and labeling work on the commodities involved in a large number of orders according to the orders, while reducing the labor cost ".

Through the technical conception, the inventor thinks that if the automatic box sealer can automatically perform self-adaptive setting on itself before the automatic box sealer automatically seals each packing box, so that the automatic box sealer can be self-adaptive to the size of the packing box required to seal boxes, the automatic box sealer can not be self-adaptive to the automatic box sealer manually, and the speed of the automatic box sealer automatically performing self-adaptive setting is often higher than the speed of the automatic box sealer self-adaptive setting manually, so that in the scene of' the goods involved in a large number of orders required to perform boxing and labeling work are non-uniform (for example, the types are non-uniform and/or the number is non-uniform, etc.), the time consumed in executing the process of the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the goods involved in the large number of orders can be reduced, and because the automatic box sealer is automatic to the packing box, the automatic box sealer can not be manually involved in the box sealing work, and because the automatic label sealer is an express label sheet of an order is automatically printed and the express label sheet automatically stuck on the outer surface of the packing box after the box sealing, the manual label can not be manually involved in the labeling work, so that the labor cost can be reduced. Therefore, the purpose of reducing labor cost while reducing the time spent in executing the boxing and labeling work according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders can be achieved.

For the above "another aspect", the inventor has found that the hardware cost of "assisting the logistics personnel of the merchant to perform the boxing and labeling work according to the order for the commodity related to the large number of orders by the automatic box sealer and the automatic labeler" is high, the occupation area is large, and the complex and difficult configuration work of the automatic box sealer and the automatic labeler needs to be explored, counted and analyzed in advance, and found that:

at present, a merchant purchases an automatic box sealing machine and an automatic labeling machine from an external manufacturer, and purchases the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine from different manufacturers respectively, therefore, the automatic box sealing machine is a product sold by the external manufacturer alone, the automatic labeling machine is a product sold by the external manufacturer alone, the volume or occupied area of the product sold by the external manufacturer alone is not very large, the respective volume or occupied area alone can meet the market demand, and therefore, the external manufacturer does not reduce the strong demand of the respective volume or occupied area, but after devices such as the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine are introduced into the merchant, the whole volume or occupied area of all devices related to the box sealing label of a packing box is large from the current situation, and the utilization rate of the area or the volume of a warehouse is influenced under the condition that the volume or the area of the warehouse of the merchant is limited.

In addition, after the merchant purchases the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine from an external manufacturer, the merchant needs to autonomously determine the positions for installing the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine on a packaging table in a warehouse of the merchant, manually install the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine at the corresponding positions, then debug the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine so that the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine can work respectively, then test whether the working conditions, the positions and the working states of the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine are proper, and under the proper conditions, the merchant can formally seal the box to the packaging box through the automatic box sealing machine and the automatic labeling machine, so that the allocation work of the merchant is complex, the difficulty is high, and the use is inconvenient.

Secondly, the inventor has found that the automatic labeling machine needs to have a printing function, a function of peeling the express delivery face sheets of the printed contents from other paper sheets of the unprinted contents, and a function of automatically adhering the express delivery face sheets to the outer surface of the packaging box. However, the automatic labeling machine is purchased by a merchant from an external manufacturer, and the automatic labeling machines with the functions of the external manufacturer are all industrial-grade printing equipment at present, and the industrial-grade printing equipment is high in price, so that the overall hardware cost is high.

In this way, through the technical conception, if the logistics personnel of the auxiliary merchant execute the boxing and labeling work and other necessary works according to the orders for the commodities respectively related to a large number of orders, the devices which are required to assist the logistics personnel of the merchant to execute the boxing and labeling work and other necessary works can be integrally designed and integrally connected to form a whole. In addition, because the integrated connection forms unified whole, can improve overall structure's stability.

Referring specifically to fig. 1-3, a logistics packaging apparatus is shown.

The logistics packaging equipment, the packaging table and the material rack can be integrally connected to form a unified whole, so that the stability of the whole structure can be improved.

The logistics packaging apparatus comprises: order information acquisition mechanism, self-adaptation size's joint sealing mechanism, labeller mechanism and control mechanism.

The labeling mechanism comprises a printer, a single-sided stripper, a single-sided absorber and the like.

The control mechanism is respectively in one-to-one communication connection with the order information acquisition mechanism, the self-adaptive size box sealing mechanism and the labeling mechanism.

The control mechanism may include a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller ) or the like.

Fig. 2 is a top view of the logistics packaging apparatus, and fig. 3 is a side view of the logistics packaging apparatus. The control mechanism may be located inside the packaging station etc., and as such, is not shown in fig. 2 and 3.

In the scene of labeling the packaging box, the packaging box sequentially passes through a self-adaptive box sealing mechanism and a labeling mechanism, and the self-adaptive box sealing mechanism and the labeling mechanism can form a linear assembly line.

The packing station may be located on an extension of the start of the linear line, i.e. the packing station, the self-adapting size carton sealing mechanism, the labelling mechanism etc. may form a linear line.

The packing station may be located on one of the two sides of the start of the line, i.e. the structure between the packing station and the line may be "L" shaped.

The material rack is used for storing (such as storage and the like) the packaging boxes. The packing table is used for placing the packing box.

The position of the material rack can be determined according to practical situations, for example, can be positioned beside a packaging table and the like.

Further, the logistics packaging apparatus may further include a logistics object conveying mechanism for conveying the logistics objects to be packaged. The logistics object conveying mechanism is in butt joint with the packaging table. In one example, the logistics object conveying mechanism comprises a conveyor belt and a motor, the motor controls the conveyor belt to work, and the direction of conveying the logistics objects by the conveyor belt can point to the direction of the packaging table.

Thus, in one example, the direction in which the conveyor belt of the logistics object conveying mechanism conveys the logistics objects may be perpendicular to the direction of the linear assembly line.

The logistics object conveying mechanism can automatically convey the logistics objects to be packaged to the logistics packaging equipment, so that the packaging personnel located at the position of the logistics packaging equipment and controlling the logistics packaging equipment can obtain the logistics objects without manually searching the logistics objects in the warehouse, namely, the logistics objects to be packaged can be obtained without changing the position or paying by manpower, and further, the logistics objects are sealed and labeled by means of the logistics packaging equipment, therefore, the working complexity of the packaging personnel can be reduced, and the labor cost is reduced.

On the other hand, the order information acquisition mechanism is used for acquiring order information of an order to which the logistics object to be placed in the target packaging box belongs, and transmitting the order information to the control mechanism.

Wherein, each logistics object required to be placed in the same packaging box can belong to the same order and the like. For example, each of the logistics objects required to be placed in the target package box belongs to the same order or the like, and the same order has order information. The order information may include: a consignment address related to the order, a consignee address related to the order, a contact of a user to which the order belongs, a name of the user to which the order belongs, a name/code/price of a logistics object related to the order, and the like.

In one example, in the scenario that the logistics objects related to the same order are conveyed through the logistics object conveying mechanism, the logistics objects related to the same order may be located in the same picking frame, and the picking frame may also have an order page (for example, a paper order page or the like) of the order to which the logistics objects belong, where the order page includes order information of the order.

In one example, the order page may also include a data code, and the order information of the order may be obtained by scanning the data code. The data code includes a two-dimensional code or a bar code, or the like.

In this way, the order information collection mechanism may have at least a camera or a data code scanner or the like.

In one example, the packager may aim the order page at a camera or data code scanner of the order information collection mechanism, so that the order information collection mechanism may collect order information in the order page using the camera or data code scanner.

For example, the order information acquisition mechanism captures an image of the order page through the camera, then uses image recognition technology to identify the content in the order page, and further analyzes the order information of the order from the content in the order page.

Alternatively, for another example, the order information collection means scans a data code (for example, a two-dimensional code or a bar code) located in the order page using a data code scanner, and analyzes the data code to obtain order information of the order.

On the other hand, the packager can place the logistics object related to the order in the packaging box, and then can transmit the packaging box to a box sealing mechanism with self-adaptive size.

For example, the packager may place each logistics object related to the same order in one picking frame in the packaging box, further, may also place the order page of the same order in the packaging box, and then may input a transmission instruction to the control mechanism, so that the control mechanism controls the first conveying mechanism in the logistics packaging device to transmit the packaging box to the box sealing mechanism with the adaptive size.

Wherein, at every time place commodity circulation object in the scene of packing box, the packing box all is located the first specific position of linear type assembly line, and the box sealing mechanism of self-adaptation size also is fixed position in the position of linear type assembly line, can calculate in advance: in the case where it is necessary to convey the package from the first specific position to the fixed position of the line-type line, the operation to be performed by the first conveying mechanism (for example, including the magnitude of the current to be applied to the motor of the first conveying mechanism and the duration of the current to be applied to the motor of the first conveying mechanism, etc.) is such that the control mechanism can input the first specific signal corresponding to the operation to be performed to the first conveying mechanism, so that the first conveying mechanism can accurately perform the operation to be performed according to the first specific signal, to cause the first conveying mechanism to convey the package to the line-type line.

Alternatively, for another example, the packager may directly manually move the package to an adaptively sized box sealing mechanism.

The first conveying mechanism may comprise a conveyor belt or a conveyor roller, etc.

In another embodiment, if the logistics transportation apparatus further includes a bottom folding mechanism, the first transportation mechanism may be a conveyor belt or a conveyor roller of the bottom folding mechanism, and the detailed description of the bottom folding mechanism may be referred to in the following embodiments, which will not be described in detail herein.

The self-adaptive size box sealing mechanism is used for sealing the target packing boxes stored with logistics objects, and then the target packing boxes are transmitted to the labeling mechanism.

The self-adaptation size's joint sealing mechanism can be with the top and the bottom simultaneous sealing of packing box, has the sensor on the self-adaptation size's the joint sealing mechanism for detect the size of packing box, then according to the high of the joint sealing part (e.g. guide bar etc.) of packing box self-adaptation adjustment joint sealing mechanism of size to make the high and width of the joint sealing part of joint sealing mechanism and the size adaptation of packing box, and then can accomplish the work with the top and the bottom simultaneous sealing of packing box more accurately, avoid the sealing of packing box to appear not parallel and level, folding or not closed etc. condition.

In one embodiment, the adaptive size box sealing mechanism may include a cross box sealer or the like.

In one example, the top of the packing box is provided with two short hinges and two long hinges, the two short hinge guide rods are used for automatically bending the two short hinges at the top of the packing box to the middle so that the two short hinges are perpendicular to the side walls of the packing box, then the two long hinge guide rods are used for automatically bending the two long hinges at the top of the packing box to the middle, the box pressing device is used for pressing the two long hinges, and then the two long hinges are glued together by using a gluing substance (such as middle joints of the two long hinges by using adhesive tape paper, etc.), so as to complete the box sealing work.

After the self-adaptive size box sealing mechanism completes the box sealing of the object packaging box, the packaging box can be transmitted to the labeling mechanism.

In the scene of sealing the packaging box in the self-adaptive size box sealing mechanism, the packaging box is positioned at a second specific position of the linear assembly line, the labeling mechanism is also positioned at a fixed position of the linear assembly line, and the position of the labeling mechanism can be calculated in advance: in the case where it is necessary to convey the package from the second specific position to the fixed position of the line-shaped line of the labeling mechanism, the operation to be performed by the second conveying mechanism (for example, the magnitude of the current to be applied to the motor of the second conveying mechanism, the duration of the current to be applied to the motor of the second conveying mechanism, and the like) is such that the control mechanism can input the second specific signal corresponding to the operation to be performed to the second conveying mechanism, so that the second conveying mechanism can accurately perform the operation to be performed according to the second specific signal, to cause the second conveying mechanism to convey the package to the labeling mechanism.

Alternatively, for another example, the packager may directly manually move the package to the labeling mechanism.

The second conveying mechanism may include a conveyor belt or a conveyor roller, etc., for example, the second conveying mechanism may be a conveyor belt or a conveyor roller, etc. of an adaptively sized box sealing mechanism.

In addition, the control mechanism is used for transmitting order information to the labeling mechanism.

The labeling mechanism is used for printing a logistics face order of an order according to order information, and then arranging (e.g. sticking, etc.) the logistics single face of the order on the outer surface of the target packing box.

The labeling mechanism may include a printer, a single-sided stripper, a single-sided absorber, and the like.

Printers are common printers which are already existing in the market and have low cost, and the like. The stripper may comprise a commercially available and low cost conventional stripper or the like. The single adsorber may comprise a common single adsorber existing in the market and having low cost, etc.

The printer is used for printing the logistics face list of the order according to the order information.

The stripper is used for stripping the logistics face sheets with the printed order information from other paper sheets with the unprinted contents.

The noodle sheet adsorber is used for automatically arranging a logistics single face on the outer surface of the packing box.

The labeling mechanism can be arranged at an outer position of the logistics packaging equipment, and is convenient for replacing a blank logistics face sheet; the logistics surface sheet adopts a roll label mode and the like.

In addition, the number of blank logistics face sheets in the labeling mechanism can be detected, and when the number of blank logistics face sheets is smaller than a specific number, prompt information can be output to prompt logistics personnel to timely add blank logistics single faces.

Specific numbers include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., and may be specific to the actual situation, which is not limited in this application.

The printer in the labeling mechanism may have a print head (e.g., a header, etc.) that may perform print job caching, and print using the print head after the print head returns and after a print signal is given.

Secondly, under the condition that the packaging box is moved to the box sealing mechanism with the self-adaptive size, the labeling mechanism determines whether to print the logistics single face of the order according to the order information, if so, the face sheet absorber of the labeling mechanism moves to the labeling position in advance, if not, the box sealing mechanism belt stops running, and alarm information is output.

In one embodiment, the logistics packaging apparatus further comprises a detection mechanism, and the labeling mechanism is further configured to transfer the target package to the detection mechanism.

In the scene of labeling the packaging box in the labeling mechanism every time, the packaging box is positioned at a third specific position of the linear assembly line, the position of the detection mechanism in the linear assembly line is also a fixed position, and the detection mechanism can calculate in advance: in the case where it is necessary to convey the package from the third specific position to the fixed position of the line-shaped line of the detecting mechanism, the operation to be performed by the third conveying mechanism (for example, the magnitude of the current to be applied to the motor of the third conveying mechanism, the duration of the current to be applied to the motor of the third conveying mechanism, and the like) is such that the control mechanism can input the third specific signal corresponding to the operation to be performed to the third conveying mechanism, so that the third conveying mechanism can accurately perform the operation to be performed according to the third specific signal, to cause the third conveying mechanism to convey the package to the detecting mechanism.

Alternatively, for another example, the packager may move the package directly to the inspection mechanism manually.

The third conveying mechanism may include a conveyor belt or a conveyor roller, etc., and for example, the third conveying mechanism may be a conveyor belt or a conveyor roller, etc. of the labeling mechanism.

On the other hand, the detection mechanism is used for collecting information on the logistics surface sheet arranged on the outer surface of the target packing box and sending the information on the logistics surface sheet arranged on the outer surface of the target packing box to the control mechanism.

The control mechanism is also used for detecting whether the information on the logistics surface order arranged on the outer surface of the target packing box is matched with the order information of the order which is acquired by the order information acquisition mechanism and belongs to the logistics object placed in the target packing box.

And the first alarm information is output when the information on the logistics surface order arranged on the outer surface of the target packaging box is not matched with the order information of the order of the logistics object placed in the target packaging box acquired by the order information acquisition mechanism.

After sensing the first alarm information, the logistics personnel can know that the information on the logistics surface sheet set on the outer surface of the target packaging box is not matched with the order information of the order belonging to the logistics object placed in the target packaging box, which is acquired by the order information acquisition mechanism, namely, the logistics surface sheet is wrongly pasted, so that the pertinence can be improved in time, for example, the labeling mechanism can be controlled again in time to print a new logistics surface sheet according to the order information of the order belonging to the logistics object placed in the target packaging box, and the new logistics surface sheet is set on the outer surface of the target packaging box again, so that the information on the new logistics surface sheet set on the outer surface of the target packaging box is matched with the order information of the order belonging to the logistics object placed in the target packaging box, which is acquired by the order information acquisition mechanism.

Or, when the information on the logistics surface sheet set on the outer surface of the target packaging box is matched with the order information of the order belonging to the logistics object placed in the target packaging box acquired by the order information acquisition mechanism, the instruction information can be output, after the logistics personnel senses the instruction information, the logistics personnel can know that the information on the logistics surface sheet set on the outer surface of the target packaging box is matched with the order information of the order belonging to the logistics object placed in the target packaging box acquired by the order information acquisition mechanism, and therefore no targeted improvement is needed, or prompt information and the like can not be input, and the logistics personnel are in a normal state by default.

In addition, in the case that the detecting mechanism cannot detect the logistics sheet on the outer surface of the target packaging box, the description is that the logistics sheet is not arranged on the outer surface of the target packaging box, and this may be: the flow surface sheet is arranged on the outer surface of the target packing box, but the flow surface sheet cannot be arranged on the outer surface of the target packing box possibly due to faults or negligence and the like, and the detection mechanism can directly output second alarm information.

After sensing the second alarm information, the logistics personnel can know that the logistics face list is not arranged on the outer surface of the target packaging box, and further can improve pertinence in time, for example, the re-control labeling mechanism prints a new logistics face list according to order information of an order to which a logistics object placed in the target packaging box belongs, and the new logistics face list is arranged on the outer surface of the target packaging box.

Wherein, through setting up detection mechanism, can ensure that can set up commodity circulation face list and the commodity circulation face list of setting is accurate at the surface of target packing box.

In another embodiment of the application, the material rack is provided with a plurality of placement areas, the packaging boxes with different sizes are placed in different placement areas, and the placement areas are correspondingly provided with the indicator lamps.

The control mechanism is also used for determining the target size of the packing box suitable for packing the logistics object related to the logistics object in the packing boxes with various sizes placed on the material rack according to the order information of the order to which the logistics object belongs, determining the target placement area of the packing box with the target size in the placement areas, and controlling the indication lamps correspondingly arranged in the target placement areas to be lightened.

For example, in one embodiment, the target size of the packaging box suitable for packaging the logistics objects related to the order may be determined according to the number of the logistics objects related to the order, and a plurality of sequentially adjacent number intervals may be divided, where the number intervals are not overlapped, for example, the number 1-2 is a number interval, the number 3-4 is a number interval, the number 5-6 is a number interval, and so on. The larger the size of the packing box corresponding to the larger number interval is, the smaller the size of the packing box corresponding to the smaller number interval is, one size of the packing box corresponds to at least one number interval, and the number intervals corresponding to different sizes of the packing boxes are different.

Therefore, the number of the logistics objects related to the order can be determined according to the order information of the order, then the number interval in which the number of the logistics objects related to the order is located is determined, the corresponding size of the number interval is determined, and the size is used as the target size of the packing box suitable for packing the logistics objects.

In this embodiment, a placement area of the material rack and a size of the packing box are in one-to-one correspondence with an indicator light.

The packing box with one size is placed in one placement area of the material rack, so that the packing box can be regarded as one size of the packing box and one indicator lamp in one-to-one correspondence. The control mechanism records the one-to-one correspondence between each size and each indicator light in advance, so in this embodiment, the indicator light corresponding to the target size can be determined to be turned on, so as to realize the turning on of the indicator light corresponding to the target placement area of the packaging box in which the target size is to be placed.

Therefore, after the logistics personnel see that the indication lamps correspondingly arranged in the target placement area are lightened, the logistics personnel can know that the logistics objects related to the orders are packaged by the packaging boxes recommended to be placed on the target placement area, and the logistics personnel can manually take out the packaging boxes with the target sizes placed on the target placement area.

Through this embodiment, can avoid logistics personnel to manually select the packing box that is applicable to packing commodity circulation object in the packing box of multiple size, can simplify manual operation, save time, raise the efficiency.

In another embodiment of the present application, a plurality of sizes of packing boxes are placed on the material rack.

The control mechanism is also used for determining the target size of a packing box suitable for packing the logistics object related to the order in the packing boxes with various sizes placed on the material frame according to the order information of the order to which the logistics object belongs, and transmitting the target size to the material frame.

The material rack is also used for outputting the target-sized packing boxes in the packing boxes with various sizes, for example, outputting to a packing table or a box unpacking machine.

The material rack is provided with a plurality of placement areas, different sizes of packing boxes are placed in different placement areas, each placement area is provided with a box pushing device, the material rack is further used for determining the placement area of the packing box with the target size, determining the box pushing device in the placement area, and controlling the box pushing device in the placement area to push out one packing box (the packing box with the target size) located in the placement area, so that logistics personnel can obtain the packing box with the target size suitable for packing logistics objects.

Through this embodiment, can avoid logistics personnel to be applicable to packing box of packing commodity circulation object in the packing box of the multiple size of material frame manual screening, can simplify manual operation, save time, raise the efficiency.

In another embodiment of the present application, the logistics packaging apparatus may further comprise a bin model acquisition mechanism.

The box model acquisition mechanism is used for acquiring the box model of the packaging box actually output from the material frame and sending the box model of the packaging box actually output to the control mechanism.

In one example, the outer surface of the package may further include a data code in which the bin type of the package is recorded, and the bin type of the package may be obtained by scanning the data code.

As such, the case model acquisition mechanism may have at least a camera or a data code scanner.

In one example, a packager may align the outer surface of the package with a camera or data code scanner of the case model acquisition mechanism, such that the case model acquisition mechanism may acquire the case model of the package using the camera or data code scanner.

For example, the box model acquisition mechanism captures an image of the outer surface of the package through the camera, and then recognizes the content in the outer surface of the package using the image recognition technique, thereby analyzing the box model of the package from the content in the outer surface of the package.

Or, for another example, the box model acquisition mechanism uses a data code scanner to scan a data code (such as a two-dimensional code or a bar code) on the outer surface of the packaging box, and then analyzes the data code to obtain the box model of the packaging box.

The control mechanism is also configured to determine whether the bin type of the actual output package matches a bin type of a target size package suitable for packaging the physical distribution object.

And outputting third alarm information under the condition that the box model of the actually-output packaging box is not matched with the box model of the packaging box with the target size suitable for packaging the logistics object.

Wherein, the size of the packing box of different models is different, and the size of the packing box of same model is the same.

After sensing the third alarm information, the logistics personnel can know that the box model of the actually-output packaging box is not matched with the box model of the packaging box with the target size suitable for packaging the logistics object, namely, the box model of the actually-output packaging box is wrong, and therefore the logistics personnel can improve pertinence in time, for example, the logistics personnel can take out the packaging box with the target size for packaging the logistics object from the material rack.

Or, under the condition that the box model of the actually output packing box is matched with the box model of the packing box with the target size suitable for packing the logistics object, the indication information can be output, after the logistics personnel senses the indication information, the logistics personnel can know that the box model of the actually output packing box is matched with the box model of the packing box with the target size suitable for packing the logistics object, and therefore no pertinence improvement is needed, or prompt information and the like can not be input, and the packaging box is in a normal state by default.

In another embodiment of the present application, the control mechanism is further configured to obtain the size of the actual output package based on the bin model of the actual output package. And under the condition that the size of the actually-output packaging box is larger than the preset size, controlling the labeling mechanism to set a logistics surface sheet at a non-center-seam position on the upper surface of the actually-output packaging box.

The center seam position of the upper surface of the target packing box comprises: the positions of the two long hinges attached to the upper surface of the target packing box, etc., so that the arrangement of the logistics surface sheet at the non-center seam position of the upper surface of the actually output packing box can be understood as follows: the positions of the material flow surface sheet and the center seam are not coincident, etc.

In another embodiment of the present application, the logistics packaging apparatus may further include: a material rack detection mechanism. The material frame detection mechanism is used for detecting whether the number of the packing boxes on the material frame is smaller than a preset threshold value, and outputting supplementary information under the condition that the number of the packing boxes on the material frame is smaller than the preset threshold value.

After sensing the supplementary information, logistics personnel can know that the quantity of the packing boxes on the material rack is insufficient or about to be insufficient, and the packing boxes need to be timely supplemented.

The preset threshold may be determined according to practical situations, and includes, for example, 1, 2, 3, or 4, which is not limited in the present application.

In another embodiment of the present application, in order to save the storage space of the material rack, the packing boxes stored on the material rack are packing boxes in a flat state after being folded, and each packing box is stacked on the material rack.

However, in the case where it is necessary to package the logistic objects with the packing box, in one mode, it is necessary for a packer to manually open the packing box in a folded state on the material rack into a box body having a spatial structure, and then place the logistic objects in the packing box.

However, the inventor finds that in the above-mentioned manner, the operation of the packaging personnel is complicated, the labor cost is high, and the box opening speed is slow due to the influence of unfamiliar manual work on the box opening work, so that the efficiency of sealing and labeling the logistics object can be reduced.

Thus, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in another embodiment of the present application, the logistics packaging apparatus further comprises a self-adaptive size box opening mechanism.

The material rack is used for outputting the packing box in the folded flat state to the box opening mechanism with the self-adaptive size.

In one embodiment, the box opening mechanism is provided with two adsorbers (such as vacuum adsorbers) which are oppositely arranged, the two vacuum adsorbers are used for clamping the folded and flat packing box, the two vacuum adsorbers are respectively adsorbed in the direction opposite to the two directions, so that two opposite-direction tensile forces are formed, and the packing box in the folded and flat state can be opened into a box body with a space structure under the action of the two opposite-direction tensile forces.

In another embodiment of the present application, the top and bottom of the case having the space structure are open.

For example, the top has a hinge and the bottom also has a hinge.

The hinges at the top are not closed, and the hinges at the bottom are not closed, so that the bottom is hollow, and the packing box cannot store logistics objects.

In this way, in order to enable the storage of logistic objects in the packaging box, the bottom of the packaging box can be closed.

In order to be able to close the bottom of the package, in one embodiment, the packager can manually close the bottom of the package.

However, the inventor finds that in the above manner, the operation of the packaging personnel is complicated, the labor cost is high, and the bottom closing speed is slow due to the influence of unfamiliar manual bottom closing operation, so that the efficiency of labeling the logistics object box seal can be reduced.

Thus, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in another embodiment of the present application, the logistics packaging apparatus further includes: a self-adaptive sized bottom closure mechanism. The self-adaptive bottom closing mechanism is used for closing the bottom of the packing box which is in an unpacking state and is not closed at the bottom.

The self-adaptive bottom closing mechanism can close the bottoms of various packaging boxes with different sizes, and the adaptation to the packaging boxes with different sizes is not required to be manually adjusted.

Wherein, after the packing box is opened into the box body with space structure, the packing box is basically formed.

The hinge closing part is arranged in the self-adaptive bottom closing mechanism, and the hinge closing part of the self-adaptive bottom closing mechanism is matched with the hinge of the packing box in the logistics scene.

For example, the bottom of the packing box is provided with a plurality of hinges, the bottom closing mechanism with the self-adaptive size is provided with a plurality of hinge closing components, each hinge closing component corresponds to each hinge at the bottom of the packing box in a one-to-one mode in position, and different hinge closing components are respectively used for closing different hinges at the bottom of the packing box.

For example, there are 4 hinges at the bottom of the package, 2 of which are short hinges, and 2 of which are long hinges, and then 2 hinge closing members matched with the short hinges are used for matching and closing the 2 short hinges (such as folding, etc.), and then 2 hinge closing members matched with the long hinges are used for matching and closing the 2 long hinges (such as folding, etc.), so as to complete the bottom closing.

The self-adaptive bottom closing mechanism can be self-adaptive to packaging boxes with different sizes for bottom closing.

The hinge closing part can adapt to the size of the packing box in a pneumatic induction mode and clamps the packing box by using a limiting rod; after the short hinge of the packing box is clamped by the limiting rod, the bottom folding of the long hinge can be automatically triggered. When the bottom folding is completed, the limit rod is automatically reset along with the bottom folding, and the packing box is not influenced to be transmitted to the box sealing mechanism with the self-adaptive size.

Further, after the physical distribution object is placed in the packaging box, the top of the packaging box can be closed.

In order to be able to close the top of the package, in one way, the packager can manually close the top of the package.

However, the inventor finds that in the above manner, the operations of the packaging personnel are complicated, the labor cost is high, and the top closing speed is slow due to the influence of unfamiliar manual work on the top closing work, so that the efficiency of labeling the logistic object box sealing is reduced.

Thus, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in another embodiment of the present application, the logistics packaging apparatus further includes: a top closure mechanism of adaptive size. The self-adaptive size top closing mechanism is used for closing the top of the packaging box which is in an unpacking state, is used for placing logistic objects and is not closed at the top.

The self-adaptive top closing mechanism can close the tops of various packaging boxes with different sizes, and the adaptation to the packaging boxes with different sizes is not required to be manually adjusted.

The self-adaptive top closing mechanism is provided with a hinge closing part, and the hinge closing part of the self-adaptive top closing mechanism is matched with a hinge of a packing box in a logistics scene.

For example, the top of the packing box is provided with a plurality of hinges, the top closing mechanism with the self-adaptive size is provided with a plurality of hinge closing components, each hinge closing component corresponds to each hinge at the top of the packing box in a one-to-one mode in position, and different hinge closing components are respectively used for closing different hinges at the top of the packing box.

For example, there are 4 hinges at the top of the package, 2 of which are short hinges and 2 of which are long hinges, and then 2 hinge closing members matched with the short hinges are used for matching and closing the 2 short hinges (e.g. folding, etc.), and then 2 hinge closing members matched with the long hinges are used for matching and closing the 2 long hinges (e.g. folding, etc.), so as to complete the top closing.

The self-adaptive size top closing mechanism can be self-adaptive to packaging boxes with different sizes for top closing.

Further, there are sometimes a plurality of logistic objects involved in one order. In one possible scenario, multiple logistic objects in an order need to be placed in the same package box and then the package box is sealed and labeled, however, in a scenario where a packer manually places multiple logistic objects related to the order in the package box, sometimes a neglected loading phenomenon may occur, for example, one or several logistic objects related to the order cannot be placed in the package box due to negligence or other reasons, so that one or several logistic objects do not exist in the package box after the box is sealed and labeled, that is, a neglected loading situation occurs.

Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of a neglected loading condition, in another embodiment of the present application, the logistics packaging apparatus further comprises: and a weighing mechanism.

The load bearing mechanism may be located on an extension of the end point of the linear assembly line.

The detection mechanism may transport the box-sealed target package to the weighing mechanism after the detection of the target package is completed to determine that the box-sealed package is normal.

The weighing mechanism is used for weighing the mass of the sealed target packing box and transmitting the mass of the sealed target packing box to the control mechanism.

The control mechanism is also used for determining whether all logistics objects related to the order are placed in the sealed target packaging box according to the quality of the sealed target packaging box.

In the case where all of the logistic objects related to the order are not placed in the box-sealed target package, the fourth alarm information may be output.

For example, after obtaining the order information of the order, the control mechanism may obtain the object identifier of each physical distribution object related to the order, and then may obtain the quality of each physical distribution object related to the order from the cloud, and the control mechanism may also obtain the quality of the actually output package (for example, obtain the quality of the actually output package according to the model of the actually output package), and then sum the quality of each physical distribution object related to the order and the quality of the actually output package to obtain the total quality.

If the difference between the total mass and the mass of the closed target package is greater than the preset difference, it may be determined that all of the logistic objects involved in the order are not placed in the closed target package.

Alternatively, if the difference between the total mass and the mass of the closed target package is less than or equal to the preset difference, it may be determined that all of the logistic objects involved in the placed order have been placed in the closed target package.

The preset difference may be set in the control mechanism according to actual situations, and may include, for example, 50 g, 60 g, 70 g, 100 g, or the like, which is not limited in this application.

After sensing the fourth alarm information, the logistics personnel can know that all logistics objects related to the order are not placed in the sealed target packaging box, and can further open the sealed target packaging box for checking, if the condition of missing package exists, the missing logistics objects in the order can be placed in the target packaging box, so that all logistics objects related to the order are placed in the target packaging box, and the target packaging box is sealed again for labeling and the like.

FIG. 4 illustrates a method of logistics packaging of the present application, as applied to the logistics packaging apparatus of any of the foregoing embodiments, comprising;

in step S101, the order information collection means collects order information of an order to which the logistics object to be placed in the target packaging box belongs, and transmits the order information to the control means.

In step S102, the control mechanism transmits order information to the labeling mechanism, and in step S103, the self-adaptive-size box sealing mechanism seals the target package box in which the logistics object has been stored, and then transmits the target package box to the labeling mechanism.

In step S104, the labeling mechanism prints the order' S logistics sheet according to the order information, and then sets the logistics single side on the outer surface of the target packaging box.

Step S102 and step S103 may be performed in parallel, or may be performed first and then, or the like.
