Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of packaging box processing, and in particular to a process and apparatus for assembling and molding side wings and outer shell. Background Technology

[0002] Folding boxes are generally made up of a shell and side wings. The shell consists of a bottom plate and side plates, while the side wings consist of a main surface, a lower side, and ears. Existing technology, such as Chinese patent application number 2021114516186, discloses a dual-station automated assembly equipment for folding box side panels. This patent completes the assembly process after gluing the side wings and shell together and assembling them.

[0003] However, in products produced using this process, the folded areas of the side wings, due to their high toughness, often experience glue separation between the side wings and the outer casing during subsequent use. After separation, repeated pressing and folding by the consumer results in misaligned and mixed fold lines, significantly reducing the box's lifespan and aesthetic appeal. The inventor therefore proposed a new process and apparatus to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a process and apparatus for assembling and molding side wings and outer shell, which aims to solve the technical problem that the adhesive parts of the side wings and outer shell of existing folding boxes are prone to peeling.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a process for assembling and molding side wings and a shell, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Material is fed in from the side wing in a flat position;

[0007] The side wing material is formed by fitting it with the block-shaped inner mold, so that the lower side of the side wing material is attached to the bottom surface of the inner mold, the main surface is attached to the end face of the inner mold, and the two ears are attached to the two sides of the inner mold respectively, forming a three-dimensional side wing.

[0008] The three-dimensional side wings and inner mold are assembled together with the unfolded shell, so that the bottom plate of the shell is glued to the lower side of the three-dimensional side wings, and the two side plates of the shell are glued to the two ears of the three-dimensional side wings to form a composite body;

[0009] The inner mold detaches from the assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes the following steps: flattening the assembly with a mold before outputting it.

[0011] Furthermore, the "side wing material mating with the block-shaped inner mold" includes the following steps:

[0012] A folding table and a scraper are provided. The scraper is located below the folding table. The side wing material is placed on the folding table, and the lower side edge of the side wing material extends out of the folding table surface.

[0013] The inner mold presses down on the top surface of the lower side of the side wing material, and the support plate presses against the bottom surface of the lower side of the side wing material, carrying the side wing material downwards, so that the main surface of the side wing material is blocked by the folding table and moves towards the end face of the inner mold.

[0014] Continue moving the side wing material downwards to the height of the scraper, then extend the scraper and bend the two ears of the side wing material to fit the two sides of the inner mold.

[0015] Furthermore, the method includes the following steps: separating the support plate from the lower edge of the side wing material to release the lower edge of the side wing material, and then re-compacting the lower edge of the side wing material with the support plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the "assembly of the three-dimensional side wings and inner mold together with the unfolded shell" includes the following steps:

[0017] Align the inner mold with the box-shaped outer mold, and attach the bottom plate of the leather shell to the lower side of the side wing;

[0018] Press the inner mold into the outer mold, so that the two side plates of the shell fit against the two side walls of the inner mold.

[0019] Furthermore, the "assembly of the three-dimensional side wings and inner mold together with the unfolded shell" includes the following steps:

[0020] Attach the bottom plate of the shell to the lower side of the wing;

[0021] Brush rollers extend from both sides of the casing and attach the side panels of the casing to the two ears on the side wings.

[0022] Furthermore, before the "three-dimensional side wings and inner mold are assembled together with the unfolded shell", the following steps are also included: applying glue to the lower side edge of the corresponding side wing on the bottom plate of the unfolded shell and to the ear of the corresponding side wing on the two side plates of the shell.

[0023] Furthermore, when the inner mold detaches from the assembly, the outer mold is used to adhere and fix the outer shell.

[0024] Furthermore, the inner mold has a demolding hole, and a demolding rod is slidably installed in the demolding hole. When the inner mold is detached from the assembly, the demolding rod extends downward to push the assembly away from the inner mold.

[0025] The present invention also provides a side wing and shell assembly molding device, comprising:

[0026] The side wing forming mechanism is used to bend and shape the incoming side wing material to form a three-dimensional side wing.

[0027] An assembly mechanism is used to assemble the three-dimensional side wings with the unfolded shell to form a combined body;

[0028] A flattening mechanism is used to flatten the assembly.

[0029] Furthermore, the side wing forming mechanism includes:

[0030] The inner mold is block-shaped and is used to mate with the side wing material.

[0031] Mold drive component, connected to the inner mold, used to drive the inner mold to move up and down;

[0032] Support plate, used to cooperate with inner mold to clamp the lower side of side wing;

[0033] Support plate drive component, connected to the support plate, used to drive the support plate to move up and down;

[0034] The edge-folding table is used to fold and bend the main surface of the side-wing incoming material.

[0035] The scraper, located below the folding table, is used to scrape and bend the ears of the side-wing incoming material;

[0036] The blade drive unit is connected to the blade and is used to drive the blade to move left and right.

[0037] Furthermore, the assembly mechanism includes:

[0038] The outer mold includes two movable side templates and a movable bottom template, as well as two side template driving components connected to the two side templates and a bottom template driving component connected to the bottom template.

[0039] Furthermore, the assembly mechanism includes:

[0040] Two brush rollers and two brush roller drive units respectively connected to the two brush rollers.

[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a demolding mechanism, which includes a demolding rod and a demolding rod drive connected to the demolding rod. The inner mold has a demolding hole, and the demolding rod is slidably installed in the demolding hole.

[0042] Furthermore, it also includes a demolding mechanism, which includes two scrapers and two scraper drive members respectively connected to the two scrapers.

[0043] Furthermore, the flattening mechanism includes:

[0044] The upper pressure plate is used to press the skin and side wings together from the top.

[0045] The flattening drive unit is connected to the upper pressure plate and is used to drive the upper pressure plate to move up and down.

[0046] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in:

[0047] Before assembling the side wings and the outer shell, the present invention pre-bends the incoming material of the side wings, which can eliminate some of the toughness of the side wing fold lines and form a three-dimensional side wing before assembling it with the outer shell to form a combination. As a result, in subsequent use, the problem of the adhesive joint between the side wings and the outer shell is less likely to occur, thus improving the service life of the folding box.

[0071] See Figure 1 .

[0072] This invention provides a process for assembling and molding side wings and a shell, comprising the following steps:

[0073] The side-wing material S is input in a flat, laid-out manner;

[0074] The side wing material S is formed by fitting the block-shaped inner mold 11 together, so that the lower side S2 of the side wing material S is attached to the bottom surface of the inner mold 11, the main surface is attached to the end face of the inner mold 11, and the two ears are attached to the two sides of the inner mold 11 respectively, forming a three-dimensional side wing.

[0075] The three-dimensional side wings and inner mold 11 are assembled together with the unfolded shell A, so that the bottom plate A1 of the shell A is glued to the lower side of the three-dimensional side wings, and the two side plates A2 of the shell A are glued to the two ears of the three-dimensional side wings to form the assembly M.

[0076] The inner mold 11 detaches from the assembly M.

[0077] Before assembling the side wings and the outer shell, the present invention pre-bends the incoming material of the side wings, which can eliminate some of the toughness of the side wing fold lines and form a three-dimensional side wing before assembling it with the outer shell to form a combination. As a result, in subsequent use, the problem of the adhesive joint between the side wings and the outer shell is less likely to occur, thus improving the service life of the folding box.

[0078] See Figure 2 .

[0079] This invention provides another assembly and molding process for side wings and shell, including the following steps:

[0080] The side-wing material S is input in a flat, laid-out manner;

[0081] The side wing material S is formed by fitting the block-shaped inner mold 11 together, so that the lower side S2 of the side wing material S is attached to the bottom surface of the inner mold 11, the main surface is attached to the end face of the inner mold 11, and the two ears are attached to the two sides of the inner mold 11 respectively, forming a three-dimensional side wing.

[0082] The three-dimensional side wings and inner mold 11 are assembled together with the unfolded shell A, so that the bottom plate A1 of the shell A is glued to the lower side of the three-dimensional side wings, and the two side plates A2 of the shell A are glued to the two ears of the three-dimensional side wings to form the assembly M.

[0083] The inner mold 11 detaches from the assembly M;

[0084] The assembly is flattened using a die before being output.

[0085] This operation, by flattening the assembly at the end, allows for another bending of the side wings, thereby further eliminating the toughness of the side wing fold lines and preventing the problem of the side wings and the shell separating from each other. After the assembly is flattened, it is output in a flat and standardized posture, which is convenient for collection and transportation, as well as for input into subsequent processes, making it suitable for assembly line production.

[0086] See Figures 3 to 13 :

[0087] In one embodiment, the "side wing material S mating with the block-shaped inner mold 11" includes the following steps:

[0088] A folding table 15 and a scraper 16 are provided. The scraper 16 is located below the folding table 15. The side wing material S is placed on the folding table 15, and the lower side S2 of the side wing material S floats out of the table surface of the folding table 15.

[0089] The inner mold 11 presses against the top surface of the lower side S2 of the side wing material S, and the support plate 13 pushes against the bottom surface of the lower side S2 of the side wing material S, carrying the side wing material S downward, so that the main surface S1 of the side wing material S is blocked by the folding table 15 and moves towards the end face of the inner mold 11.

[0090] Continue moving the side wing material S downwards to the height of the folding table 15, then extend the scraper 16 to bend the two ear parts of the side wing material S to fit the two sides of the inner mold 11.

[0091] This forming method only requires one set of scrapers for the ear edge. During the descent of the side wing material S, the main surface S1 of the side wing material S is folded towards the end face of the inner mold by the obstruction of the folding table. This simplifies the forming structure. Moreover, the lower side S2 of the side wing material S is held by the inner mold 11 and the support plate 13, which can accurately fix the side wing material S. The material will not deviate during bending, ensuring that the forming is in place.

[0092] In one embodiment, the method further includes the following steps: separating the support plate 13 from the lower side S2 of the side wing material S to release the lower side S2 of the side wing material S, and then using the support plate 13 to rise and re-compact the lower side S2 of the side wing material S. This design, through secondary re-compaction, can improve the molding effect.

[0093] In one embodiment, an extension 151 is provided at the bottom of the folding table 15. As the side wing material S moves downward to the height of the folding table 15, the extension 151 presses against the main surface S1 of the side wing material S, tightly adhering to the inner mold 11. This design prevents the main surface S1 of the side wing material S from springing back, improving molding quality and stability.

[0094] In one embodiment, a pusher plate 172 is provided that moves with the scraper 16. When the scraper 16 bends the ear S3 of the side wing material S, the pusher plate 172 presses the main surface S1 of the side wing material S tightly against the inner mold 11. This design allows the pusher plate 172 to first compact the main surface S1 of the side wing material S, achieving precise positioning of the side wing material and preventing tilting during ear bending, thereby ensuring accurate ear bending and improving molding quality and effect.

[0095] In one embodiment, the "assembly of the three-dimensional side wings and inner mold 11 together with the unfolded shell A" includes the following steps:

[0096] Align the inner mold 11 with the box-shaped outer mold 21, and attach the bottom plate A1 of the skin A to the lower side S2 of the side wing;

[0097] The inner mold 11 is pressed down into the outer mold 21, so that the two side plates A2 of the shell A are attached to the two side walls of the inner mold 11.

[0098] This assembly method not only allows the outer shell and side wings to be glued together, but also allows the unfolded outer shell A to be folded into shape simultaneously through the cooperation of the inner and outer molds.

[0099] Of course, there are many ways to assemble the three-dimensional side wings and inner mold 11 together with the unfolded shell A.

[0100] Not limited to the above-described method, for example, in one embodiment, another "stereoscopic side wings and inner mold 11" is provided.

[0101] The method of "assembling together with the unfolded shell A" is as follows: Figure 11 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0102] Attach the bottom plate A1 of the outer shell A to the lower side S2 of the side wing;

[0103] Brush rollers 22 extend from both sides of the casing A and attach the two side plates A2 of the casing A to the two ears 5S3 of the side wings.

[0104] This assembly method results in a simpler structure and easier operation.

[0105] In one embodiment, a demolding method is provided, specifically: when the inner mold 11 detaches from the assembly M, the outer mold 21 adsorbs and fixes the outer shell A. This design prevents the outer shell and side wings from being pulled out along with the inner mold, facilitating demolding of the assembly.

[0106] 0. In one embodiment, an alternative demolding method is provided, such as Figure 12 As shown, specifically: the inner mold 11 has a demolding hole 111, and a demolding rod 23 is slidably installed in the demolding hole 111. When the inner mold 11 detaches from the assembly M, the demolding rod 23 extends downward to push the assembly M away from the inner mold 11. This design can also achieve the separation of the inner mold 11 from the assembly M.

[0107] In one embodiment, the inner mold 11 is a mold with suction holes connected to an external pump station. The main surface, lower side, and ears of the suction side wings are kept in close contact with the inner mold 1 for a period of time. This design...

[0108] The molding effect can be improved by using a shape-holding process.

[0109] In one embodiment, before the step of “assembling the three-dimensional side wings and inner mold 11 together with the unfolded shell A”, the following steps are also included: applying glue to the position of the lower side edge S2 of the corresponding side wing on the bottom plate A1 of the unfolded shell A and the position of the ear S3 of the corresponding side wing on the two side plates A2 of the shell A.

[0110] See Figures 1 to 13 :

[0111] The present invention provides a side wing and shell assembly forming device, comprising:

[0112] Side wing forming mechanism 1 is used to bend the side wing material S into a three-dimensional side wing.

[0113] Assembly mechanism 2 is used to assemble the three-dimensional side wings with the unfolded shell A to form a combined body;

[0114] Flattening mechanism 3 is used to flatten the assembly.

[0115] The side wing forming mechanism 1 is used to pre-bend and form the incoming side wing material, eliminating some of the toughness of the side wing fold lines. The assembly mechanism 2 is used to assemble the three-dimensional side wing with the shell. The flattening mechanism 3 is used to flatten the assembly, further eliminating the toughness of the side wing fold lines. This side wing and shell assembly forming device can greatly reduce the toughness of the side wing fold lines, thus reducing the likelihood of delamination at the adhesive joints between the side wing and the shell during subsequent use, and improving the service life of the folding box.

[0116] In one embodiment, the side wing forming mechanism 1 includes:

[0117] The inner mold 11 is block-shaped and is used to mate with the side wing material S.

[0118] The mold drive component 12 is connected to the inner mold 11 and is used to drive the inner mold 11 to move up and down.

[0119] Support plate 13 is used to cooperate with inner mold 11 to clamp the lower side of the side wing;

[0120] The support plate drive component 14 is connected to the support plate 13 and is used to drive the support plate 13 to move up and down.

[0121] The folding table 15 is used to fold and bend the main surface S1 of the side wing material S;

[0122] The scraper 16 is located below the folding table 15 and is used to scrape and bend the ear part S3 of the side wing material S.

[0123] The blade drive component 17 is connected to the blade 16 and is used to drive the blade 16 to move left and right.

[0124] In use, place the side wing material S on the folding table 15, and let the lower side S2 of the side wing material S float out of the table surface of the folding table 15; press the top surface of the lower side S2 of the side wing material S with the inner mold 11, and press the bottom surface of the lower side S2 of the side wing material S with the support plate 13, and move the side wing material S downward, so that the main surface S1 of the side wing material S is blocked by the folding table 15 and moves closer to the end face of the inner mold; continue to move the side wing material S downward to the height of the folding table 15, and then extend the scraper 16 to bend the two ears of the side wing material S to fit the two sides of the inner mold 11.

[0125] This side wing forming mechanism only requires one set of scrapers for ear edge scraping. During the descent of the side wing material S, the main surface S1 of the side wing material S is folded towards the end face of the inner mold by the obstruction of the folding table, which can simplify the forming structure. Moreover, the lower side S2 of the side wing material S is clamped by the inner mold 11 and the support plate 13, which can accurately fix the side wing material S. The material will not deviate during bending, which can ensure that the forming is in place.

[0126] In one embodiment, a bracket 18 is also included, with the folding table 15 fixed to the top of the bracket 18. The support plate 13 and the scraper 16 are located inside the bracket 18. The support plate drive 14 is vertically mounted on the bracket 18, and the scraper drive 17 is horizontally mounted on the bracket 18. This design is reasonable, provides reliable support, is compact, and is relatively easy to install.

[0127] In one embodiment, the bottom of the folding table 15 is provided with a downwardly extending extension 151. With this design, as the side wing material S moves downward to the height of the folding table 15, the extension 151 presses against the main surface S1 of the side wing material S, keeping it close to the inner mold 11, preventing the main surface S1 of the side wing material S from springing back and improving molding stability.

[0128] In one embodiment, the scraper drive 17 is provided with a push plate 172 for pressing the main surface S1 of the side wing material S tightly against the inner mold 11 when the scraper 16 bends the ear S3 of the side wing material S. The push plate 172 has a strip groove 173 for accommodating the extension 151. With this design, the push plate 172 can press the main surface S1 of the side wing material S again, improving the forming effect, and can also achieve precise positioning of the side wing material, thereby ensuring that the ear is bent in place during subsequent ear bending.

[0129] In one embodiment, the output end of the scraper drive 17 is connected to a mounting plate 171, and the scrapers 16 are fixed on both sides of the mounting plate 171. With this design, the scraper drive 17 simultaneously drives both scrapers 16 to scrape the edges of the two ears S3 of the side-feed material S. The push plate 172 is installed in the middle of the mounting plate 171.

[0130] Preferably, the push plate 172 is elastically mounted on the mounting plate 171 by a spring.

[0131] In one embodiment, the top of the folding table 15 is provided with at least one fixed positioning block 152 and / or at least one movable positioning block 153 for positioning the side wing incoming material S. The fixed positioning block 152 and the movable positioning block 153 can position the side wing incoming material S, improving accuracy.

[0132] In specific implementation, a positioning block drive component 154 for driving the movable positioning block 153 can be set on the top of the folding table 15. For example, a linear drive module such as a linear motor can not only drive the limit block to abut against the side wing material for positioning, but also reciprocate to beat and sort the side wing material.

[0133] In one embodiment, a limiting block 131 for limiting the side-wing incoming material S is slidably connected to the support plate 13, and a limiting block drive member 132 for driving the limiting block 131 to slide on the support plate 13. With this design, the limiting block 131 can position the side-wing incoming material, and the limiting block drive member 132 can be a linear drive module such as a linear motor, which can not only drive the limiting block to abut against the side-wing incoming material for positioning, but also reciprocate to beat and organize the side-wing incoming material.

[0134] As illustrated in the diagram, the top of the folding table 15 is equipped with two fixed positioning blocks 152 and one movable positioning block 153, which, in conjunction with the limiting block 131, limit the side-wing incoming material S from four directions: front, back, left, and right. This design ensures precise positioning of the side-wing incoming material during processing. The movable positioning block 153 and the limiting block 131, through corresponding driving components, can tap and organize the side-wing incoming material from different directions, further improving positioning accuracy.

[0135] In specific implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, two sets of side wing forming mechanisms are symmetrically arranged for use. The two sets of mechanisms share a single inner mold and can form two side wings simultaneously.

[0136] In one embodiment, the assembly mechanism 2 includes:

[0137] The outer mold 21 includes two movable side templates 211 and a movable bottom template 212, as well as two side template driving members 213 connected to the two side templates 211 and a bottom template driving member 214 connected to the bottom template 212. After the inner mold 11 is pressed into the outer mold 21, the two side template driving members 213 drive the two movable side templates 211 to move inward, so that the two side plates A2 of the shell A are attached to the two side walls of the inner mold 11; after the assembly is formed, the inner mold 11 is separated from the assembly, and the bottom template driving member 214 drives the movable bottom template 212 to move upward, so as to push the assembly out of the outer mold.

[0138] In one embodiment, the assembly mechanism 2 further includes a lateral drive member 22, and the mold drive member 12 is connected to the lateral drive member 22. The mold drive member 12 and the lateral drive member 22 cooperate to drive the inner mold 11 to align with the outer mold 21 and press the inner mold 11 down into the outer mold 21.

[0139] In one embodiment, the assembly mechanism 2 further includes a support frame 23, on which the outer mold 21 is mounted. The top of the support frame 23 is fixed with placement plates 231 for placing the unfolded shell A on both sides of the outer mold 21. Fixed limiting blocks 232 and movable limiting blocks 233 are mounted on the placement plates 231, along with a limiting block drive member 234 for driving the movable limiting blocks 233.

[0140] Of course, the structure of the assembly mechanism can vary and is not limited to the above-described components. For example, in one embodiment, another assembly mechanism is provided, such as... Figure 11 As shown, it includes:

[0141] Two brush rollers 22 and two brush roller drive units respectively connected to the two brush rollers 22.

[0142] In this assembly mechanism, the two brush rollers 22 are driven by the two brush roller drive unit to roll over the two side plates A2 of the shell A, thereby attaching the two side plates A2 of the shell A to the two side walls of the inner mold 11 and the two ears S3 of the side wings.

[0143] In practice, the two brush rollers 22 can be set independently, or they can replace the two movable side templates 211 in the former assembly mechanism.

[0144] In one embodiment, a demolding mechanism is provided, such as Figure 12 As shown, the demolding mechanism includes a demolding rod 23 and a demolding rod drive connected to the demolding rod 23. The inner mold 11 has a demolding hole 111, and the demolding rod 23 is slidably installed within the demolding hole 111. After the assembly M is formed, the demolding rod drive drives the demolding rod 23 to extend downwards, thereby pushing the assembly M away from the inner mold 11 and achieving separation between the inner mold 11 and the assembly M.

[0145] In one embodiment, another demolding mechanism is provided, such as Figure 13 As shown, the demolding mechanism includes two scrapers 24 and two scraper drive members connected to the two scrapers 24 respectively. After the assembly M is formed, the two scrapers 24 hook onto the two side walls of the shell A respectively, and then the scraper drive members drive the scrapers to move downward, thereby peeling the assembly M away from the inner mold 11.

[0146] In one embodiment, the flattening mechanism 3 includes:

[0147] The upper pressure plate 31 is used to press the skin A and the side wings together from the top surface;

[0148] The flattening drive component 32 is connected to the upper pressure plate 31 and is used to drive the upper pressure plate 31 to move up and down.

[0149] During processing, the assembly is placed below the upper pressure plate 31, and then the flattening drive 32 drives the upper pressure plate 31 to move downward to flatten the assembly. After that, the flattening drive 32 drives the upper pressure plate 31 to move upward to reset.

[0150] After the three-dimensional side wings S and the shell A are assembled into the composite body M, due to the toughness of the shell A, the two side plates A2 of the shell A will still open outward at a certain angle and bring the side wings S inward. At this time, flattening will not damage the composite body M, and the shell A and the side wings S can be flattened directly.

[0151] In a specific implementation, the flattening mechanism 3 also includes a flattening platform 33 located below the upper pressure plate 31, which is used to place the assembly M.

[0152] In one embodiment, the side wing and shell assembly forming device of the present invention further includes a frame 4, wherein the side wing forming mechanism 1, the assembly mechanism 2 and the flattening mechanism 3 are all mounted on the frame 4.

[0153] The aforementioned driving components can be selected from driving modules such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, linear motors, and linear slide modules, and the present invention does not impose any particular restrictions.

[0154] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
