Device for folding and/or creasing cartons

Abstract

The invention refers to a device (10) for folding and / or creasing cartons(11). The device (10) has a charging unit (14) with a lateral stop (16) and a folding unit (12) which is formed to fold the paper board package coming from the charging unit (14). The folding unit (12) is configured to continuously perform folding in a first transmission direction; the lateral stop (16) is configured to align cardboard package transverse in a first conveying direction (23). The stop (16) and the folding unit (12) are adjustable to one another so that the paper board package (11) is introduced in a defined position in the first conveying direction (23) in the charging unit (14). The folding unit (12) is provided with at least two reciprocating devices which are optionally capable of rectilinear translation and are configured to catch the paper board package from the lower side.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for folding and / or creasing cardboard packages, comprising a supply unit for supplying said device with cardboard packages and a folding device configured to fold the cardboard packages delivered by the supply unit. [0002] Devices of this type are used to produce folded cardboard from cardboard packages, that is to say unfolded cardboard, wherein the material constituting the cardboard package does not necessarily have to be cardboard material and / or paper, but in principle any possible use can be considered for this purpose. folded material. Background technique [0003] US 4,604,083 discloses a cardboard packaging processing plant in which a number of stations are provided for processing cardboard packaging. This device has the disadvantage that in order to transport the carton packs to the folding and gluing station, complex stacking stations have to be provided, so that the folding and gluing stations have to be...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This device has the disadvantage that in order to feed the cardboard packs to the folding and gluing station, complex stacking stations have to be provided, so that the folding and gluing stations have to be cumbersomely modified and the dimensions of the cardboard packs changed

[0004] Furthermore, in the prior art, in such devices as well as in other folding devices, it is always necessary to ensure that the incoming stack of carton packs has approximately the same height relative to the conveyor device, so that the cardboard packs must be adjusted, for example by means of a carton pack lifting mechanism. The height adjustment of the packaging stacks is complex, and the cardboard packaging stacks must always be positioned precisely at the specified point on the conveyor mechanism. Institutional training requires considerable skill and time
