[0022] A hot pressing main machine 10, wherein a workbench 11 is provided on the hot pressing main machine 10, a shaping bottom mold 12 is provided on the workbench 11, a hot pressing upper mold 13 which can move up and down relative to the shaping bottom mold 12 is provided on the hot pressing main machine 10, a shaping groove which can accommodate the shaping bottom mold 12 is provided at the bottom of the hot pressing upper mold 13, a vacuum suction hole is provided in the shaping groove, an electric heating film is provided in the hot pressing upper mold 13, and a heat insulation layer is provided on the outer side of the hot pressing upper mold 13;

[0023] A first mechanical arm 20, the first mechanical arm 20 is arranged at one end of the hot pressing main machine 10, a receiving plate 21 is arranged at the end of the first mechanical arm 20, a movable groove is arranged on the surface of the receiving plate 21, two clamping arms 22 that can move toward each other are arranged in the movable groove, a pressure sensor is arranged on the surface of the clamping arm 22, and a visual positioning camera 30 is arranged on the receiving plate 21;

[0024] A support frame 40, wherein a first shaping clamp 41 is disposed on the support frame 40, and two first shaping plates 42 that can move relative to each other are disposed on the first shaping clamp 41; a second shaping clamp 43 is disposed on the support frame 40, and two second shaping plates 44 that can move relative to each other are disposed on the second shaping clamp 43, and the first shaping plate 42 is longer than the second shaping plate 44;

[0025] The second robotic arm 50 has a material picking plate 51 at its end, and a vacuum suction cup 52 is disposed on the surface of the material picking plate 51 .

[0026] According to the structural setting of the present invention, when in use, the receiving plate 21 is first driven to move by the first mechanical arm 20, and the clamping arm 22 on the receiving plate 21 is first opened, and the unformed paper box on the placement rack is positioned and analyzed by the visual positioning camera 30, and then the two clamping arms 22 move to clamp the two sides of the paper box to clamp the paper box, and the pressure sensor arranged on the surface of the clamping arm 22 cooperates with the clamping arm 22 to control the pressure between the two clamping arms 22, so as to prevent the paper box from being clamped, and the clamping arm 22 drives the paper box to move on the support frame 40 and enables the first The shaping clamp 41 is located in the carton, and then the two first shaping plates 42 are relatively opened, thereby opening the carton opening in the width direction, and then the first shaping clamp 41 is reset, and the clamp arm 22 drives the carton to move out and move to correspond to the second shaping clamp 43. The second shaping clamp 43 is located in the carton and makes the two second shaping plates 44 relatively opened and shaped, thereby opening and shaping the carton opening in the length direction. The first shaping clamp 41 and the second shaping clamp 43 are used to shape the carton opening to a certain extent, so that the carton can better cooperate with the shaping bottom mold 12. The second clamping arm 22 holds the carton and moves it into the hot pressing main machine 10, and inserts the carton opening downward into the shaping bottom mold 12, and then the hot pressing upper mold 13 is pressed down until the shaping bottom mold 12 is located in the shaping groove. At this time, the carton is hot-pressed and molded by the shaping bottom mold 12 and the heated shaping groove, and the vacuum suction hole sucks the bottom of the carton, and then the hot pressing upper mold 13 rises. Due to the suction effect of the vacuum suction hole, the carton will be synchronously brought up and located in the shaping groove. After that, the second mechanical arm 50 drives the material taking plate 51 to extend into the opening along the carton opening so that the vacuum suction cup 52 sucks the carton, and at the same time, the suction force of the vacuum suction hole disappears, so that the second mechanical arm 50 takes the carton out of the shaping groove and places it in the specified position. The whole process is automated and does not require manual operation, which effectively saves labor costs and reduces the possibility of workers suffering from occupational diseases.

[0027] For further improvement, considering the work efficiency, it is preferred that two shaping bottom molds 12 are provided on the workbench 11 , and two hot pressing upper molds 13 cooperating with the shaping bottom molds 12 are provided on the workbench 11 .

[0028] For further improvement, in order to determine how many paper boxes have been shaped, it is preferred that an infrared sensor is provided on the hot pressing main unit 10, and the infrared sensor is higher than the upper surface of the shaping bottom mold 12. The hot pressing main unit 10 is provided with a digital display screen electrically connected to the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor can sense the number of times the hot pressing upper mold 13 is pressed onto the shaping bottom mold 12 and display it on the digital display screen.

[0029] Further improvement is made. Since the purely automated shaping operation inevitably results in the paper box not being properly installed on the shaping bottom die 12, so that the shaping upper die flattens the paper box, it is preferred that the shaping bottom die 12 has a contact surface at the lower end thereof that can abut against the lower end surface of the hot pressing upper die 13, and a pressure sensor is provided on the contact surface. When the paper box is flattened, the shaping upper die will inevitably fail to press against the pressure sensor during the downward pressing process, so that the system can determine that the shaping has failed, and control the second mechanical arm 50 to suck the paper box and place it in the waste box.

[0030] As a further improvement, it is preferred that the first shaping clamp 41 is located below the first shaping clamp 41 .

[0031] As a further improvement, the support frame 40 is preferably disposed on a side wall of the hot pressing mainframe 10 .
