Devices for folding and/or bending cardboard packaging

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (10) for folding and / or bending cardboard packages (11), comprising: a supply unit (14) with lateral stops (16); a folding device (12), which is designed to A cardboard package from a supply unit (14) can be folded, the folding device (12) is configured to carry out the folding continuously in a first conveying direction, the lateral stop (16) is configured transversely to the first conveying direction (23) Align the cardboard packaging. Here, the stop (16) and the folding device (12) can be adjusted relative to each other, so that the cardboard package (11) is fed into the supply unit (14) in a defined position in the first transport direction (23), and the resulting The folding device (12) is equipped with at least two, preferably linearly displaceable reciprocating devices, which are designed to grip the cardboard package from below.

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
