Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A case sealing device is disclosed. The case sealing device conveys a cardboard box and simultaneously closes a flap group provided on edges of opening of the cardboard box. The case sealing device includes a folding member, a drive unit, and a control unit. The folding member contacts a flap of the flap group that extends along a conveyance direction of the cardboard box and folds the flap. The drive unit moves the folding member. The control unit controls the drive unit. In operation of folding the flap, a longitudinal direction of the folding member is inclined with respect to the conveyance direction such that the folding member contacts a front edge of the flap in the conveyance direction before other portions of the flap.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A case sealing device that conveys a cardboard box and simultaneously closes a flap group provided on edges of opening of the cardboard box, the case sealing device comprising: a folding member that contacts a flap of the flap group that extends along a conveyance direction of the cardboard box and folds the flap; a drive unit that moves the folding member; and a control unit that controls the drive unit, wherein in operation of folding the flap, a longitudinal direction of the folding member is inclined with respect to the conveyance direction such that the folding member contacts a front edge of the flap in the conveyance direction before other portions of the flap, and the folding member moves from the outside to the inside of the cardboard box with respect to a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction to fold the flap. 2. The case sealing device according to claim 1 , wherein the folding member gradually descends after contacting the front edge of the flap. 3. The case sealing device according to claim 2 , wherein the folding member descends obliquely downward. 4. The case sealing device according to claim 2 , wherein the folding member descends while revolving. 5. The case sealing device according to claim 2 , wherein the folding member is inclined with respect to the conveyance direction when descending. 6. The case sealing device according to claim 1 , wherein an angle of inclination of the longitudinal direction of the folding member with respect to the conveyance direction is in a range of 3° to 60°. 7. The case sealing device according to claim 1 , wherein the folding member is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane when the folding member contacts the flap. 8. The case sealing device according to claim 1 , wherein the folding member includes a plurality of folding members provided for each of the flaps that extend along the conveyance direction.
