Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of framing machine technology, and in particular discloses a high-speed forming framing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Boxes are a common decorative component used to hold and package various items. They are mainly made of multiple panels spliced together. In traditional techniques, box manufacturing involves first cutting out multiple panels of the required size and specifications, and then manually splicing and gluing them together to form the box. This process is inefficient.
[0003] Existing technologies also include automatic box-forming using frame-forming machines. However, the existing frame-forming machines have unreasonable structural designs. On the one hand, they require the assembly of three or more box panels to form a box, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. On the other hand, the frame-forming machine's structural design is unreasonable. For example, the existing rotary frame-forming machine requires a lot of space and is extremely inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a high-speed forming frame machine. By using the cooperation of the mold core and two feeding units, the first box plate and the second box plate can be bonded together to form a box body by using the forward and reverse movement of the mold core, thereby improving the forming efficiency of the box body.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a high-speed forming frame machine, comprising a feeding mechanism and a forming mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to convey a first box board and a second box board to the forming mechanism, and the forming mechanism is used to bond the first box board and the second box board into a box body. The forming mechanism includes a core unit, a first feeding unit, and a second feeding unit. The two feeding units are used to transfer the two box boards conveyed by the feeding mechanism to the core unit respectively. The core unit has a core component and a first power component for driving the core component to move back and forth. The core component has two core parts, and multiple side walls of the core parts are provided with first picking components for limiting the box board on the core parts. The first feeding unit has a first platform for carrying the first box board. A second power component is used to drive the first platform to move back and forth; the second feeding unit has a second platform for carrying the second box plate and a third power component for driving the second platform to move back and forth, the second platform having two bearing parts; the second power component drives the first platform into the gap between the two mold core parts, the first power component drives the mold core part to move forward so that the first side wall of the mold core part receives the first box plate carried by the first platform; the third power component drives the second platform so that the mold core part enters the gap between the two bearing parts, the first power component drives the mold core part to move in the opposite direction so that the second side wall of the mold core part receives the second box plate carried by the second platform; the first box plate and the second box plate supported by the mold core part fit together to form a box body.
[0006] The molding mechanism also includes a first bending plate unit. The first power component drives the mold core component to move the first side wall of the mold core, which supports the first box plate, to the first bending plate unit. The first bending plate unit triggers the first box plate supported by the first side wall of the mold core to bend to the third side wall of the mold core in an L-shape. The first picking component of the first side wall of the mold core and the first picking component of the third side wall of the mold core respectively pick up both ends of the first box plate.
[0007] The molding mechanism further includes a pressing unit, which has a pressing member and a fourth power member for driving the pressing member to move closer to or away from the mold core. The fourth power member drives the pressing member so that the pressing member abuts against one end of the first box plate supported by the first side wall of the mold core. The first bending plate unit includes a movably disposed bending plate and a fifth power member for driving the bending plate. The fifth power member drives the bending plate to move closer to or away from the mold core. The bending plate abuts against one end of the first box plate protruding from the first side wall of the mold core.
[0008] The molding mechanism also includes two second bending plate units, which are located on both sides of the mold core and below the second feeding unit. The first power unit drives the second box plate, which is supported by the second side wall of the mold core, to move past the second shaft. The two second bending plate units are used to bend the two ends of the second box plate that protrude from the second side wall, so that the two ends of the second box plate are bent and attached to the fourth side wall and the fifth side wall of the mold core in a U-shape.
[0009] The molding mechanism also includes an unloading unit, which includes two unloading components for picking up the two ends of the box on the mold core, and a seventh power component for driving the unloading components to move back and forth. The unloading components have a second picking component for picking up the box and an eighth power component for driving the second picking component. The eighth power component drives the second picking component to move so that the second picking components of the two unloading components move closer to each other or further away from each other.
[0010] The feeding mechanism includes a first feeding unit, a second feeding unit, and a transfer unit that works in conjunction with the two feeding units. The two feeding units are used to input the first and second box panels, respectively. The feeding mechanism also includes a folding unit located between the two feeding units. The folding unit includes a first carrier frame that is raised and lowered, a first driving member for driving the first carrier frame, a second driving member and a third driving member mounted on the first carrier frame, a first accessory that works in conjunction with the second driving member, and a folding member that works in conjunction with the third driving member. The second driving member drives the first accessory to move so that the moving first accessory drives the first... The first box board carried by the feeding unit is positioned and displaced; the folding member is provided with an inclined surface and a pressing surface. The first driving member drives the folding member to move forward via the first carrier, so that the inclined surface abuts against the edge of the face paper of the second box board carried by the second feeding unit and lifts up. The third driving member is used to drive the folding member to move so that the pressing surface folds the lifted edge of the face paper of the second box board and sticks it onto the core paper of the second box board. The material transfer unit is used to pick up the first box board after the first accessory adjustment and the second box board after the folding member processing. The material transfer unit transfers the picked-up first box board and second box board to the first carrier and the second carrier.
[0011] The folding unit also includes a flexible component disposed on the folding component. The folding component has a positioning groove for accommodating the first end of the flexible component. The second end of the flexible component protrudes from the outer surface of the folding component and is used to abut against the edge of the face paper of the second box board. The pressing surface is disposed on the second end of the flexible component.
[0012] The folding unit also includes a joint arm, with its two ends rotatably mounted on the first carrier and the first end of the folding piece, respectively. The second end of the folding piece is rotatably mounted on the second carrier, and the third driving member is used to drive the second carrier to move.
[0013] The material transfer unit includes a track component, a third carrier that reciprocates relative to the track component, a sixth drive component for driving the third carrier, a fourth carrier that is lifted and lowered on the third carrier, a seventh drive component for driving the fourth carrier to reciprocate and lift, a first suction cup group and a second suction cup group set on the fourth carrier. The first suction cup group and the second suction cup group are respectively used to hold the first box plate after the first accessory adjustment and the second box plate after the edge folding part is processed.
[0014] The material transfer unit also includes a shaft component, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod. The shaft component is rotatably mounted on a third carrier. One end of the first connecting rod is mounted on the shaft component. The two ends of the second connecting rod are rotatably mounted on a fourth carrier and the other end of the first connecting rod, respectively. A seventh driving component is used to drive the shaft component to rotate. The third carrier has a clearance hole for accommodating the first connecting rod and / or the second connecting rod.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The second power component drives the first platform to enter the gap between the two mold cores, and the first power component drives the mold core to move forward so that the first sidewall of the mold core receives the first box plate carried by the first platform; the third power component drives the second platform so that the mold core enters the gap between the two support parts, and the first power component drives the mold core to move in the opposite direction so that the second sidewall of the mold core receives the second box plate carried by the second platform; the first box plate and the second box plate supported by the mold core fit together to form a box body; by means of the cooperation between the mold core and the two feeding units, the first box plate and the second box plate can be fitted together to form a box body by means of the forward and reverse movement of the mold core, thereby improving the molding efficiency of the box body.

[0048] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a high-speed forming frame machine of the present invention includes a feeding mechanism 1 and a forming mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 1 is used to feed a first box board and a second box board to the forming mechanism 2. The forming mechanism 2 is used to bond the first box board and the second box board into a box body. In actual manufacturing, the feeding mechanism 1 and the forming mechanism 2 can be separate functional machines. After the two are manufactured, they are connected together by connectors for use.
[0050] The forming mechanism 2 includes a mold core unit 3, a first feeding unit 4 and a second feeding unit 5. The two feeding units are used to transfer the two box plates conveyed by the feeding mechanism 1 to the mold core unit 3 respectively. The first feeding unit 4 is used to receive the first box plate input by the feeding mechanism 1, and the second feeding unit 5 is used to receive the second box plate input by the feeding mechanism 1.
[0051] The mold core unit 3 has a mold core component 6 and a first power component for driving the mold core component 6 to move back and forth. In this embodiment, the molding mechanism 2 is equipped with a frame 7, and the mold core component 6 is slidably mounted on the frame 7. The first power component is mounted on the frame 7 and drives the mold core component 6 to move back and forth along the frame 7. Depending on actual needs, the first power component can be a motor and a ball screw assembly, with the motor driving the mold core component 6 to move up and down via the ball screw assembly. Both feeding units are located in the middle of the frame 7. Depending on actual needs, the mold core unit 3 can also be equipped with a base frame, with the mold core component 6 slidably mounted on the base frame. The base frame is detachably mounted on the frame 7. In actual use, the entire mold core unit 3 can be replaced by disassembling the base frame, facilitating mold changing and plate adjustment, and enabling the molding mechanism 2 to be compatible with boxes of different sizes and specifications.
[0052] The mold core 6 has a base and two mold core parts 8 mounted on the base and spaced apart from each other. The two mold core parts 8 are arranged in parallel. Multiple side walls of the mold core parts 8 are provided with first pickup members 9 for limiting the box panel on the mold core parts 8. After the mold core parts 8 receive the box panel, the first pickup members 9 can suck or grab the box panel, thereby preventing the box panel from falling off the mold core parts 8.
[0053] The first feeding unit 4 has a first platform 11 for supporting the first box plate and a second power component for driving the first platform 11 to move back and forth. In this example, the frame 7 is equipped with a horizontally arranged first guide rail, and the first platform 11 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail. The second power component drives the first platform 11 to move horizontally back and forth along the first guide rail. Preferably, a first picking component 9 is also installed on the first platform 11 to pick up the first box plate and prevent it from falling off the first platform 11.
[0054] The second feeding unit 5 has a second platform 12 for supporting the second box plate and a third power unit for driving the second platform 12 to move back and forth. A horizontally arranged second guide rail is mounted on the frame 7, and the second platform 12 is slidably mounted on the second guide rail. The third power unit drives the second platform 12 to move horizontally back and forth along the second guide rail. The first, second, and third power units have the same structure, all of which can be a motor and ball screw assembly, and will not be described further here.
[0055] The second platform 12 has two support parts 13 spaced apart from each other, and the two support parts 13 are arranged in parallel and coplanar; similarly, the second platform 12 can also be equipped with a first pickup member 9 for picking up the second box plate.
[0056] In actual use, the first platform 11 supports the first template input by the feeding mechanism 1. The second power component drives the first platform 11 to move so that the first platform 11 enters the gap between the two mold cores 8. The first power component drives the mold core 6 to move forward (upward) so that the mold core 6 moves above the first platform 11. When the first side wall 611 of the forward-moving mold core 8 protrudes from the first platform 11, it can receive the first box plate supported by the first platform 11, so that the first box plate is separated from the first platform 11.
[0057] The second platform 12 supports the second box plate input by the feeding mechanism 1. The third power component drives the second platform 12, causing the mold core 6 to enter between the two supporting parts 13. The first power component drives the mold core 6 to move in the opposite direction (downward) so that the mold core 6 moves below the second platform 12. When the mold core 8 protrudes from the second platform 12, the second side wall 612 of the mold core 8 receives the second box plate supported by the second platform 12, so that the second box plate is separated from the second platform 12. The first box plate and the second box plate supported by the mold core 6 can then cooperate and fit together to form a box. This invention, by utilizing the cooperation of the mold core unit 3 and the two feeding units, can achieve the fitting of the first box plate and the second box plate to form a box by using the forward and reverse movement of the mold core 6. The process is simple and greatly improves the molding efficiency of the box.
[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the molding mechanism 2 also includes a first bending plate unit 14, which is installed on the upper end of the frame 7 and is located above the mold core 6 and the two feeding units. The first power member drives the mold core 6 to move forward, thereby moving the first box plate supported by the first side wall 611 of the mold core 8 to the first bending plate unit 14. The first bending plate unit 14 triggers the first box plate supported by the first side wall 611 of the mold core 8 to bend onto the third side wall 613 of the mold core 8 in an L-shape. That is, the first box plate supported by the first platform 11 of the mold core 8 is flat, and the first bending plate unit 14 is used to bend the first box plate supported by the mold core 8 into an L-shape.
[0059] The first pickup member 9 of the first sidewall 611 of the mold core part 8 and the first pickup member 9 of the third sidewall 613 of the mold core part 8 respectively pick up the two ends of the first box plate, keeping the first box plate in an L-shape on the one hand and preventing the first box plate from falling off the mold core part 8 on the other hand.
[0060] The molding mechanism 2 also includes a pressing unit, which is mounted on the frame 7 and located at the upper end of the frame 7, above the mold core 6. The pressing unit has a pressing member and a fourth power member for driving the pressing member closer to or away from the mold core 6. The fourth power member is a telescopic cylinder, and its piston rod is connected to the pressing member. The fourth power member drives the pressing member to move up and down. The fourth power member drives the pressing member to move downward closer to the mold core 6, so that the pressing member abuts against one end of the first box plate supported by the first side wall 611 of the mold core 8. Then, the first bending plate unit 14 can trigger the first box plate pressed by the pressing member to bend the end of the first box plate protruding from the mold core 8.
[0061] The first bending plate unit 14 includes a movable bending plate 15 and a fifth driving member for driving the bending plate 15. The fifth driving member drives the bending plate 15 to move closer to or away from the mold core 6. The bending plate 15 is used to abut against one end of the first box plate protruding from the first side wall 611 of the mold core 8. The fifth driving member is a telescopic cylinder. The bending plate 15 is generally flat. In actual use, the fifth driving member drives the bending plate 15 to move. The moving bending plate 15 abuts against one end of the first box plate protruding from the mold core 8. As the bending plate 15 continues to move, the bending plate 15 pushes the one end of the first box plate protruding from the mold core 8 and bends it to be attached to the third side wall 613 of the mold core 8. Then, the first picking member 9 on the third side wall 613 of the mold core 8 picks up the first box plate. After that, the bending plate 15 moves in the opposite direction to reset.
[0062] The first bending plate unit 14 also includes a first frame 16, a first shaft 17 rotatably mounted on the first frame 16, two sixth power components mounted on the first frame 16, and a straightening component 18 used in conjunction with the sixth power components. One end of the bending plate 15 is mounted on the first shaft 17. The first frame 16 is mounted on the frame 7, and the rotation axis of the first shaft 17 is horizontal. The fifth power components drive the first shaft 17 to rotate, and the rotating first shaft 17 can drive the bending plate 15 to rotate together.
[0063] The two sixth power components' straightening members 18 are located on the left and right sides of the mold core 6, respectively. The two sixth power components drive the straightening members 18 to move closer to each other to abut against the sides of the first box plate carried by the first side wall 611 of the mold core 8. After the mold core 6 moves the first box plate to the straightening members 18 of the two sixth power components, the two sixth power components drive the straightening members 18 to move closer to each other to abut against the first box plate, thereby straightening the first box plate carried by the first side wall 611 of the mold core 8. Then the pressing unit can press the first box plate onto the first side wall 611 of the mold core 8, and then the first bending unit 14 can bend the first box plate carried by the mold core 8 into an L-shape.
[0064] The forming mechanism 2 also includes two second bending plate units, both of which are mounted on the frame 7. The two second bending plate units are located on the left and right sides of the mold core 6, respectively, and the second bending plate units are located below the second feeding unit 5.
[0065] The molding mechanism 2 also includes two second bending plate units, which are located on the left and right sides of the mold core 6, respectively, and are located below the second feeding unit 5. The first power member drives the second box plate supported by the second side wall 612 of the mold core 8 to move past the second shaft. The two second bending plate units are used to bend the two ends of the second box plate that protrude from the second side wall 612, so that the two ends of the second box plate are bent and attached to the fourth side wall 614 and the fifth side wall 615 of the mold core 8 in a U-shape.
[0066] Preferably, the second shaft is rotatably configured, and the rotation axes of the second shafts of the two second bending plate units are horizontally configured. In actual use, the first picking member 9 on the second side wall 612 of the mold core 8 picks up the middle part of the second box plate, and the first power member drives the mold core 8 to move in the opposite direction (downward) so that the second box plate supported by the second side wall 612 of the mold core 8 moves past the second shaft. By means of the rotation of the second shaft, the wear of the second bending plate unit on the second box plate is reduced.
[0067] In addition, depending on actual needs, an additional power component can be configured to drive the second shaft to move horizontally back and forth. The additional power component drives the second shaft to move closer to or away from the mold core 6, so that the second shaft can be compatible with second box plates of various sizes.
[0068] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the molding mechanism 2 also includes an unloading unit 19, which is located below the two feeding units and below the second bending plate unit. The unloading unit 19 includes two unloading components for picking up both ends of the box body on the mold core 6, and a seventh power component for driving the unloading components to move back and forth. Preferably, a horizontally arranged third guide rail is installed on the frame 7, the unloading components are slidably arranged on the third guide rail, and the seventh power component drives the unloading unit 19 to move back and forth horizontally.
[0069] The unloading assembly has a second pickup member 21 for picking up the box body and an eighth power member for driving the second pickup member 21. The eighth power member drives the second pickup member 21 to move so that the second pickup members 21 of the two unloading assemblies move closer to or further away from each other. After the mold core member 6 moves the first box plate and the second box plate past the second bending plate unit, the first box plate and the second box plate automatically fit together to form a box body. The seventh power member drives the two unloading assemblies to move forward until the mold core member 6 is located between the two unloading assemblies. Then the eighth power member drives the second pickup member 21 to move towards the mold core member 6 until the second pickup member 21 picks up the end of the box body on the mold core member 6. Afterwards, the seventh power member drives the two unloading assemblies to move in the opposite direction to remove the box body from the mold core member 6, so that the box body is separated from the mold core member 6.
[0070] The second pickup component 21 includes a main body 22, a support plate portion 23, a baffle portion 24, and a protrusion portion 25 disposed on the main body 22. The support plate portion 23, the baffle portion 24, and the protrusion portion 25 are located on the same side of the main body 22, and are generally arranged in a triangle. The support plate portion 23 is used to support the box body, so that the box body after being separated from the mold core 6 is pressed onto the support plate portion 23 under the action of gravity. The baffle portion 24 is used to stop the box body supported by the support plate portion 23, preventing the box body from tilting and falling off the support plate portion 23.
[0071] The protrusion 25 is used to abut against the side wall of the opening end of the box body; the mold core 6 is provided with a clearance guide groove 26 penetrating the mold core 6. The clearance guide groove 26 is recessed from the outer surface of the fourth side wall 614 and the outer surface of the fifth side wall 615 of the mold core 6, and the clearance guide groove 26 is horizontally arranged. When the seventh power member drives the unloading assembly to move so that the protrusion 25 moves from one side of the mold core 6 to the other side of the mold core 6, when the seventh power member drives the unloading assembly to move in the direction of the mold core 6, the moving protrusion 25 can push the box body out of the mold core 6 by abutting against the side wall of the opening end of the box body, so that the mold core 6 is separated from the box body.
[0072] Please see Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the forming mechanism 2 also includes a support unit 27 located below the unloading unit 19 and an output unit 28 located below the support unit 27. The support unit 27 has a rotatably mounted support plate 271 and a ninth power member for driving the support plate 271 to rotate. The support plate 271 is used to support the box released by the unloading unit 19.
[0073] The support plate 271 is roughly flat, and a horizontally rotating third shaft 29 is mounted on the frame 7. One end of the support plate 271 is mounted on the third shaft 29. In actual use, the support plate 271 is first set horizontally. After the unloading unit 19 moves the box from the mold core 6 to above the support plate 271, the eighth drive unit drives the second pickup 21 to move the second pickups 21 of the two unloading components away from each other, and the box automatically falls onto the support plate 271. Then, the ninth power unit drives the support plate 271 to rotate to a vertical position, and the box falls off the support plate 271 onto the output unit 28. Preferably, there are two support plates 271.
[0074] Output unit 28 includes a rotatable annular belt and a tenth power member for driving the annular belt to rotate. The annular belt supports the box released from the support unit 27. When the box carried by the support plate 271 falls onto the annular belt, the tenth power member drives the annular belt to rotate, thereby conveying the box outside the frame 7.
[0075] The core part 8 includes a hollow square tube, multiple templates respectively disposed on the ends of the hollow square tube and multiple side walls of the hollow square tube, and a suction nozzle disposed on the template; the hollow square tube is made of aluminum alloy and has a square cross-section; the template is roughly a rectangular flat plate; the suction nozzle is existing technology; and multiple air pipes connected to the suction nozzles of multiple templates are housed inside the hollow square tube.
[0076] By using hollow square tubes, the weight of the mold core 8 itself is reduced, thus reducing the weight of the entire mold core 6 and facilitating its vertical movement. On the other hand, the hollow square tubes can accommodate the air pipes, preventing them from being exposed and damaged. They also protect the air pipes and extend their service life.
[0077] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a first feeding unit 31, a second feeding unit 32, and a transfer unit 33 used in conjunction with the two feeding units. The first feeding unit 31 and the second feeding unit 32 are arranged side by side. In this embodiment, the two feeding units are spaced apart from each other and arranged in parallel. The transfer unit 33 is located above the two feeding units. The two feeding units are used to automatically input the first box plate and the second box plate body, respectively.
[0078] The feeding mechanism 1 also includes a folding unit 34 located between two feeding units, with a clearance space formed between the two feeding units, and the folding unit 34 located within the clearance space. The folding unit 34 includes a first carrier 35 that is vertically and vertically mounted, a first drive member for driving the first carrier 35 to vertically and vertically move, a second drive member and a third drive member mounted on the first carrier 35, a first accessory 36 that works in conjunction with the second drive member, and a folding member 37 that works in conjunction with the third drive member.
[0079] In this embodiment, the first driving component is a telescopic cylinder, and its piston rod is mounted on the first carrier 35. The vertical movement of the first carrier 35 is achieved by extending and retracting the piston rod of the second driving component. The second driving component is also a telescopic cylinder, and its piston rod is fixedly connected to the first accessory 36. In actual use, the second driving component drives the first accessory 36 to reciprocate horizontally.
[0080] During use, the first driving component drives the first accessory 36 to move above the first feeding unit 31 via the first carrier 35. The second driving component drives the first accessory 36 to move horizontally. The horizontally moving first accessory 36 abuts against the first box plate carried by the first feeding unit 31, causing the first box plate to be displaced relative to the first feeding unit 31 to achieve position calibration and positioning, thereby achieving precise positioning of the first box plate.
[0081] The main structure of the folding piece 37 is elongated. The folding piece 37 is provided with an inclined surface 38 and a pressing surface. Preferably, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 38 is 10-45°. During the folding process, the first driving member drives the folding piece 37 to rise above the bearing surface of the second feeding unit 32 via the first carrier 35. The inclined surface 38 of the rising folding piece 37 abuts against the bearing surface of the second feeding unit 32, causing the edge of the second box board to move upward, thus making the edge of the second box board curl upward. The third driving member drives the folding piece 37 to move so that the pressing surface folds the curled edge of the second box board onto the core paper of the second box board, thereby realizing the folding process of the edge of the second box board. Then the transfer unit 33 can pick up and transfer the first box plate after the adjustment of the first accessory 36 and the second box plate after the folding part 37. The transfer unit 33 will transfer the picked-up first box plate and second box plate to the first platform 11 and the second platform 12.
[0082] After the inclined surface 38 of the folding member 37 contacts the edge of the second box board and curls upward, the third driving member drives the folding member 37 to move the flexible member 39 to fold the curled edge of the second box board's face paper onto the core paper of the second box board. Thanks to the flexible member 39, compared to a rigid member pressing down on the edge of the second box board's face paper, scratches are avoided. Furthermore, the structure where the second end of the flexible member 39 protrudes from the outer surface of the folding member 37 prevents the folding member 37 from directly contacting and damaging the edge of the second box board's face paper due to deformation of the flexible member 39 when pressing down on it.
[0083] The folding unit 34 also includes a joint arm 41, which is a short strip-shaped component. Both ends of the joint arm 41 are rotatably mounted on the first carrier 35 and the first end of the folding member 37, respectively. In this embodiment, both ends of the joint arm 41 are provided with shaft holes containing connecting shafts. The two ends of the joint arm 41 are rotatably mounted on the upper end of the first carrier 35 and the first end of the folding member 37, respectively, via the connecting shafts. The second end of the folding member 37 is rotatably mounted on the second carrier. The rotation axes of the joint arm 41 and the first carrier 35, the joint arm 41 and the folding member 37, and the folding member 37 and the second carrier are spaced apart and parallel to each other. A third driving member is used to drive the second carrier to move. The third driving member is a telescopic cylinder, and its piston rod is connected to the second carrier.
[0084] Through the rotational arrangement between the articulated arm 41, the folding member 37, and the first carrier 35, when the third driving member drives the folding member 37 to move, the folding member 37 can move horizontally and vertically. In this way, the folding member 37 can be used to fold the edge of the face paper of the second box and press the edge of the face paper of the second box onto the core paper of the second box. This operation does not need to be completed by two driving members, reducing manufacturing costs and improving work efficiency.
[0085] The feeding mechanism 1 also includes a pressing unit that works in conjunction with the second feeding unit 32. The pressing unit includes a pressing member and a fourth driving member for moving the pressing member. In this embodiment, the pressing member is provided with multiple pressing heads for pressing on the second box plate. The multiple pressing heads are spaced apart from each other and press on different parts of the second box plate respectively, ensuring that the second box plate can be firmly pressed, while reducing the contact area between the pressing member and the second box plate. Preferably, a flexible member is installed on the free end of the pressing head. The flexible member can be made of soft rubber, and the contact of the flexible member with the second box plate prevents the second box plate from being damaged.
[0086] The fourth driving component drives the holding component to press the second box board input from the second feeding unit 32 onto the second feeding unit 32. The folding component 37 of the folding unit 34 is used to fold the edge of the second box board held by the holding unit. By setting the holding unit, the second box board is accurately positioned on the second feeding unit 32, avoiding movement of the second box board and poor folding when the folding unit 34 folds the edge of the face paper of the second box board, thereby improving the folding yield of the second box board.
[0087] The feeding mechanism 1 also includes an adjustment unit, which includes a second accessory and a fifth driving member for driving the second accessory to move. Preferably, the fifth driving member is a telescopic cylinder, and the piston rod of the fifth driving member is connected to the second accessory.
[0088] The fifth driving component drives the second accessory to move horizontally so that the second accessory can push and move the second box plate carried by the second feeding unit 32 to position and adjust the position of the second box plate on the second feeding unit 32, thereby achieving precise positioning of the second box plate. The folding part 37 of the folding unit 34 is used to fold the edge of the second box plate after adjustment by the adjustment unit.
[0089] In the actual process, the adjustment unit is first used to accurately position the second box board input by the second feeding unit 32. Then, the pressing unit presses and positions the second box board after the adjustment unit is adjusted onto the second feeding unit 32. After that, the folding part 37 of the folding unit 34 performs folding processing on the edge of the face paper of the second box board to ensure the folding yield of the second box board.
[0090] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the material transfer unit 33 includes a track component 42, a third carrier 43 that reciprocates relative to the track component 42, a sixth drive component for driving the third carrier 43, a fourth carrier 44 that is lifted and lowered on the third carrier 43, a seventh drive component for driving the fourth carrier 44 to reciprocate and lift, and a first suction cup group 45 and a second suction cup group 46 that are disposed on the fourth carrier 44.
[0091] In this embodiment, there are two track components 42, which are spaced apart and arranged parallel to each other. The left and right ends of the third carrier 43 are slidably mounted on the two track components 42, respectively. The first suction cup group 45 and the second suction cup group 46 are used to hold the first box plate after adjustment by the first accessory 36 and the second box plate after processing by the folded edge member 37, respectively. The suction cup group is equipped with multiple vacuum nozzles, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The multiple vacuum nozzles of the same suction cup group hold different parts of the same box plate, ensuring that the transfer unit 33 can stably pick up the box plate and prevent the box plate from falling.
[0092] The material transfer unit 33 also includes a shaft component 47, a first connecting rod 48, and a second connecting rod 49. The shaft component 47 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the third carrier 43. One end of the first connecting rod 48 is fixedly mounted on the shaft component 47. The two ends of the second connecting rod 49 are respectively rotatably mounted on the fourth carrier 44 and the other end of the first connecting rod 48. A seventh driving member is used to drive the shaft component 47 to rotate. In this embodiment, the seventh driving member is a drive motor.
[0093] During the process of transferring the box plate by the material transfer unit 33, the suction cup assembly needs to move up and down frequently. The transmission assembly formed by the combination of the shaft 47, the first connecting rod 48, and the second connecting rod 49 can drive the fourth carrier 44 to move up and down quickly by the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor. The up and down movement of the fourth carrier 44 can drive the two suction cup assemblies to move up and down, thereby improving the lifting efficiency of the suction cup assembly and helping to improve the feeding efficiency.
[0094] The third carrier 43 has a clearance hole 51 that extends vertically through the third carrier 43 and is used to accommodate the first connecting rod 48 and / or the second connecting rod 49. By providing the clearance hole 51, the length of the connecting rod is shortened, simplifying the structural design. On the other hand, the wall of the clearance hole 51 surrounds the connecting rod, protecting it from damage caused by external impacts.
[0095] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
