Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of packaging equipment, specifically to a packaging box forming apparatus and forming method. Background Technology

[0002] Protecting goods is one of the most important functions of packaging boxes, preventing damage during transportation. Therefore, packaging boxes need to be manufactured to match the shape of the product. Various goods require packaging boxes, including electronics, daily necessities, food, and books. Electronic products, while small in size, have many components. Therefore, packaging boxes also need to be able to organize and store these components in separate sections.

[0003] For example, computer keyboards are packaged in boxes at the factory to protect them during transportation. The internal space of the keyboard box is usually square. Along with the keyboard, the packaging typically includes accessories such as a user manual and power cord. This is to accommodate the keyboard's shape and to provide space within the box for these accessories. This internal space ensures the keyboard's stability while providing room for the accessories, preventing them from colliding or being damaged during transport.

[0004] Existing packaging boxes are usually formed by manually folding materials, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and cannot effectively improve the product yield, thus failing to meet the requirements of mass production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a packaging box forming apparatus and a forming method, which can fold and form packaging boxes to be folded, replacing manual labor, improving production efficiency and forming yield, reducing production costs, and meeting the requirements of mass production.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a packaging box forming apparatus, comprising: a base, a clamping mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a box-removing mechanism. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the portion of the packaging box to be wound. The rotating mechanism is located on the base, connected to the clamping mechanism, and drives the clamping mechanism to rotate around a first axis. The box-removing mechanism is located on one side of the rotating mechanism and is capable of moving along a first direction, which is parallel to the first axis.

[0007] Optionally, the clamping mechanism includes clamping blocks, two clamping blocks that can move toward each other to reduce the relative distance between them, and the clamping mechanism also includes a first linear drive motor connected to the two clamping blocks to drive the clamping blocks to move relative to each other.

[0008] Optionally, the cross-sectional area of ​​the clamping block gradually decreases in the direction away from the rotating mechanism.

[0009] Optionally, the rotating mechanism includes a connecting rod and a rotary drive motor. The connecting rod is connected to two clamping blocks respectively. The rotary drive motor is connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the clamping blocks and drives the connecting rod to rotate along a first axis.

[0010] Optionally, the rotating mechanism further includes a protective shell with a receiving cavity, a connecting rod, and a rotating drive motor disposed within the receiving cavity. There are two clamping mechanisms, arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0011] Optionally, the packaging box forming device further includes a second linear drive motor, which is connected to two clamping mechanisms respectively and drives the two clamping mechanisms to move relative to each other in a second direction.

[0012] Optionally, the unpacking mechanism includes a pusher block that extends along a second direction and is located at one end of the rotating mechanism along a first direction. The pusher block can move along the first direction to push the packaging box to move.

[0013] Optionally, the unpacking mechanism further includes a push rod and a second linear drive motor. The push rod is slidably connected to the base, one end of the push rod is connected to the push block, and the second linear drive motor is connected to the push rod and pushes the push rod to move along the first direction.

[0014] This application also provides a method for forming a packaging box, comprising the following steps:

[0015] The packaging box to be formed is obtained, and the two clamping mechanisms respectively enter the cavities of the two box parts of the packaging box to be formed;

[0016] The first linear drive unit is activated, and the two clamping blocks in the clamping mechanism separate from each other and respectively fit against the inner wall of the box to fix the packaging box to be formed to the clamping mechanism.

[0017] When the rotary drive motor starts, the connecting rod drives the clamping block to rotate around the first axis by a preset angle, and the clamping block drives the packaging box to roll. At the same time, the second linear drive motor starts to drive the two clamping mechanisms to move relative to each other at a preset speed to complete the winding.

[0018] The first linear drive motor starts, the two clamping blocks move relative to each other, the clamping blocks disengage from the box, and a shaped packaging box is obtained.

[0019] Optionally, the method for forming the packaging box further includes the following steps: the third linear drive motor is started, and the push rod and the push block are pushed in sequence to move the formed packaging box along the first direction, and the formed packaging box is disengaged from the clamping mechanism.

[0020] This application provides a packaging box forming apparatus and a forming method. By setting a clamping mechanism to clamp the packaging box to be formed, a stable connection between the packaging box to be formed and the packaging box forming apparatus is ensured during the rotation and winding process, thus ensuring the shape of the packaging box. The rotation mechanism is used to drive the clamped packaging box material to be wound and formed. The box release mechanism can remove the finished packaging box from the clamping device after it has been formed. The above structure realizes the winding and forming of packaging boxes, replaces manual labor, reduces production costs, and improves the production efficiency of packaging box forming and the yield rate of products.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] This application provides a packaging box forming apparatus for winding a packaging box to be formed. Please refer to the references. Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the packaging box forming apparatus 1 provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the packaging box 3 to be formed in the embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the formed packaging box in the embodiments of this application; Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the left side of the packaging box forming apparatus 1 provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 5 This is a top view of the packaging box forming apparatus 1 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0040] The packaging box forming apparatus 1 of this application embodiment includes: a base 10, a clamping mechanism 20, a rotating mechanism 30, and a box release mechanism. The clamping mechanism 20 is used to clamp the part of the packaging box to be wound. The rotating mechanism 30 is disposed on the base 10, connected to the clamping mechanism 20, and drives the clamping mechanism 20 to rotate around a first axis. The box release mechanism can release the packaging box from the clamping mechanism 20.

[0041] The base 10 supports the clamping mechanism 20 and the rotating mechanism 30, and has a fixed platform that provides a stable support surface for the rotating mechanism 30. The clamping mechanism 20 is suspended on one side of the base 10 to avoid interference between the clamping mechanism 20 and the base 10 during rotation. The rotating mechanism 30 can rotate around a first axis and simultaneously drive the clamping mechanism 20 to rotate. The clamping mechanism 20 and the rotating mechanism 30 are arranged sequentially along the first direction X.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, the packaging box 2 to be formed in this embodiment includes a base plate 201 and box portions 202 disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the base plate 201. The base plate 201 is a strip-shaped flat plate, and the two box portions 202 are disposed along the length direction of the base plate 201 at the edge of the base plate 201, and the two box portions 202 are arranged sequentially along a second direction. The box portion 202 is a box-shaped body with a receiving cavity, and the box portion 202 has two side plates 203 and a top plate 204. The two side plates 203 are disposed opposite each other along the second direction. The top plate 204 and the side plates 203 together enclose the box portion 202, which has a cavity 205. The clamping structure 20 can enter the cavity 205, and the outer wall of the clamping mechanism 20 can fit against the inner wall of the box portion 202, and drive the entire box portion 202 to rotate and roll a part of the base plate 201 to fit against the box portion 202.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the molded packaging box 3 in this embodiment includes a connecting base plate 301 and a molding portion 302 sequentially connected to the edge of the connecting base plate 301 along the second direction Y. The molding portion 302 is formed by winding the box portion 202 of the packaging box 2 to be molded. The box portion 202 is wound inward at 90° along the edge of the base plate 201 until the inner side plate 203 is attached to the base plate 201. The edge portion of the base plate 201 of the packaging box 2 to be molded is bent upward and opposite to the top plate 204 to form a bent plate 303. The two side plates 203, the top plate 204, and the bent plate 303 together enclose the molding portion 302 of the packaging box 3, and one side plate 203 of the molding portion 302 is attached to the connecting base plate 301.

[0044] In summary, the structure of the formed packaging box 3 is formed by winding the box portion 202 of the packaging box 3 to be formed 90° along the first axis and attaching it to the bottom plate 201 of the packaging box. The packaging box forming device 1 in this embodiment of the application can clamp the box portion 202 and rotate and wind it to obtain the formed packaging box 3.

[0045] The packaging box forming apparatus 1 provided in this application uses a clamping mechanism 20 to clamp the box portion 202 of the packaging box to be formed, ensuring a stable connection between the packaging box and the packaging box forming apparatus 1 during the rotation and winding process, and ensuring the structural strength of the packaging box after winding. The rotation mechanism 30 is used to drive the clamped packaging box 3 to be formed to wind and form. The above structure realizes the winding and forming of the packaging box, replacing manual labor, reducing production costs, and improving the production efficiency and product yield of packaging box forming. Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 4In the embodiments of this application, the clamping mechanism 20 includes clamping blocks 21. Two clamping blocks 21 can move towards each other to reduce their relative distance. The two clamping blocks 21 can simultaneously extend into the cavity 205 of the packaging box 3 to be formed. As the two clamping blocks 21 move away from each other, they gradually conform to the interior of the box portion 202, ensuring the shape and structure of the box portion 202 during rotation. Furthermore, friction is generated by the contact between the clamping blocks 21 and the packaging box to form a stable connection.

[0046] The above-described structure, by adjusting the distance between the two clamping blocks 21, can accommodate packaging boxes of different sizes, thus expanding the application range of the packaging box forming device 1. Furthermore, by reducing the distance between the two clamping blocks 21, the contact between the clamping blocks 21 and the packaging box 3 to be formed can be reduced, allowing the clamping blocks 21 to detach from the packaging box and achieve smooth box removal.

[0047] In embodiments of this application, the clamping mechanism 20 further includes a first linear drive motor, which is connected to two clamping blocks 21 to drive the clamping blocks 21 to move relative to each other. The first linear drive motor can drive the clamping blocks 21 to move automatically, and by adjusting the spacing of the clamping blocks 21, it can automatically adjust to accommodate packaging boxes of different sizes. Furthermore, by adjusting the clamping blocks 21 to move automatically toward each other, the clamping mechanism 20 can be disengaged from the box portion 202, providing a basis for automatic box removal.

[0048] In the embodiments of this application, the cross-sectional area of ​​the clamping block 21 gradually decreases in the direction away from the rotating mechanism 30. The structure of the clamping block 21 can be a wedge-shaped block with a pointed tip. The small end area of ​​the clamping block 21 facilitates its entry into the receiving cavity of the box portion 202, improving the clamping efficiency of the clamping block 21. Furthermore, after the clamping block 21 enters the packaging box 3 to be formed, it can restrict the movement of the packaging box 3 towards the clamping block 21, ensuring the stability of the rotational forming process.

[0049] In an embodiment of this application, the rotating mechanism 30 includes a connecting rod 31 and a rotary drive motor 32. The connecting rod 31 is connected to two clamping blocks 21 respectively. The rotary drive motor 32 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 31 away from the clamping blocks 21 and drives the connecting rod 31 to rotate along a first axis. The axial direction of the connecting rod 31 coincides with the first axis, and the two clamping blocks 21 can rotate about the axial direction of the connecting rod 31.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the packaging box forming apparatus 1 further includes a second linear drive motor 50, which is connected to two clamping mechanisms 20 respectively and drives the two clamping mechanisms 20 to move relative to each other along the second direction Y. During the packaging box forming process, the two box parts 202 of the packaging box 3 to be formed move towards each other, and the distance between the two clamping mechanisms 20 also moves accordingly. Therefore, by providing the second linear drive motor 50, the stability of the clamping mechanism 20 can be further ensured, and the probability of the bottom plate 201 breaking during the rotational forming process can be reduced, thereby improving the yield of the formed packaging box.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, the packaging box forming apparatus 1 further includes a control module, which is electrically connected to the rotary drive motor, the first linear drive motor, and the second linear drive motor 50, respectively. The control module can control the rotary drive motor 32 to start, thereby driving the clamping block 21 to rotate around the first axis, and driving the box portion 202 of the packaging box 3 to be formed to be wound and formed.

[0052] For example, the control module controls the first linear drive motor to start and drive the two clamping blocks 21 to move towards each other, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the clamping blocks 21 and facilitating their entry into the packaging box. Alternatively, the control module can control the first linear drive motor to start and drive the two clamping blocks 21 to move away from each other, so that the clamping blocks 21 fit against the inner wall of the box portion 202 of the packaging box 3 to be formed. Optionally, the control module can also control the second linear drive motor 50 to start, driving the two clamping mechanisms 20 to move relative to each other, coordinating with the winding of the box portion 202.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a packaging box forming method provided in this application embodiment. The packaging box forming device 1 in this embodiment is used to wind the packaging box to be formed. The packaging box forming method includes the following steps:

[0054] S01. Obtain the packaging box to be formed, and the two clamping mechanisms 20 respectively enter the cavities 205 of the two box parts 202;

[0055] S02, the first linear drive unit is started, the two clamping blocks 21 in the clamping mechanism 20 separate from each other and respectively fit against the inner wall of the box part 202 to fix the packaging box 3 to be formed to the clamping mechanism 20.

[0056] S03, the rotary drive motor 32 starts, the connecting rod 31 drives the clamping block 21 to rotate around the first axis by a preset angle, the clamping block 21 drives the packaging box to roll, and at the same time the second linear drive motor starts to drive the two clamping mechanisms 20 to move relative to each other at a preset speed, and the winding is completed and stops.

[0057] S04. The first linear drive motor starts, the two clamping blocks 21 move relative to each other, the clamping blocks 21 disengage from the formed packaging box 3, and the formed packaging box 3 is obtained.

[0058] The above-mentioned technical solution enables the automatic winding of the formed packaging box 3, replacing manual labor, reducing the intensity of manual labor and labor costs, while improving the production efficiency of packaging box forming and the yield rate of products.

The clamping structure 20 can enter the cavity 205, and the outer wall of the clamping mechanism 20 can fit against the inner wall of the box portion 202, and drive the entire box portion 202 to rotate and roll a part of the base plate 201 to fit against the box portion 202.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the molded packaging box 3 in this embodiment includes a connecting base plate 301 and a molding portion 302 sequentially connected to the edge of the connecting base plate 301 along the second direction Y. The molding portion 302 is formed by winding the box portion 202 of the packaging box 2 to be molded. The box portion 202 is wound inward at 90° along the edge of the base plate 201 until the inner side plate 203 is attached to the base plate 201. The edge portion of the base plate 201 of the packaging box 2 to be molded is bent upward and opposite to the top plate 204 to form a bent plate 303.

[0065] In summary, the structure of the formed packaging box 3 is formed by winding the box portion 202 of the packaging box 3 to be formed 90° along the first axis and attaching it to the bottom plate 201 of the packaging box. The packaging box forming device 1 in this embodiment of the application can clamp the box portion 202 and rotate and wind it to obtain the formed packaging box 3.

[0066] The packaging box forming device 1 provided in this application clamps the box part 202 of the packaging box to be formed by setting a clamping mechanism 20, ensuring a stable connection between the packaging box and the packaging box forming device 1 during the rotation and winding process, and ensuring the structural strength of the packaging box after winding. The rotation mechanism 30 is used to drive the clamped packaging box 3 to be formed to be wound and formed. The box release mechanism 40 can remove the formed packaging box 3 from the clamping device. The above structure realizes the winding and forming of the packaging box, replaces manual labor, reduces production costs, and improves the production efficiency of packaging box forming and the yield rate of products.

[0067] Please refer to the reference. Figures 7 to 9In the embodiments of this application, the clamping mechanism 20 includes clamping blocks 21. Two clamping blocks 21 can move towards each other to reduce their relative distance. The two clamping blocks 21 can simultaneously extend into the cavity 205 of the packaging box 3 to be formed. As the two clamping blocks 21 move away from each other, they gradually conform to the interior of the box portion 202, ensuring the shape and structure of the box portion 202 during rotation.

[0068] The above-described structure, by adjusting the distance between the two clamping blocks 21, can accommodate packaging boxes of different sizes, thus expanding the application range of the packaging box forming device 1. Furthermore, by reducing the distance between the two clamping blocks 21, the contact between the clamping blocks 21 and the packaging box 3 to be formed can be reduced, thereby detaching the clamping blocks 21 from the formed packaging box 3 and achieving smooth box removal.

[0069] In embodiments of this application, the clamping mechanism 20 further includes a first linear drive motor, which is connected to two clamping blocks 21 to drive the clamping blocks 21 to move relative to each other.

The clamping block 21 can be a wedge-shaped block. The small end area of ​​the clamping block 21 facilitates its entry into the cavity 205 of the box portion 202, improving the clamping efficiency of the clamping block 21.

The axial direction of the connecting rod 31 coincides with the first axis, and the two clamping blocks 21 can rotate about the axial direction of the connecting rod 31.

[0072] In the embodiments of this application, the packaging box forming device 1 further includes a second linear drive motor 50, which is connected to two clamping mechanisms 20 respectively and drives the two clamping mechanisms 20 to move relative to each other along the second direction Y.
