[0034] This invention proposes a folding box forming device.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the folding box forming equipment includes:
[0036] A frame 100 is provided with a processing table 101 and a placement table 102, and an installation gap is provided between the processing table 101 and the placement table 102; the processing table 101 is used to place the shell material 71, and the placement table 102 is used to place the side plate material 72.
[0037] A feeding device 200 is connected to the frame 100 and is used to feed the side plate material 72 onto the placement table 102;
[0038] A mold positioning device 300 includes a mold body 310 and a mold lateral movement drive assembly. The mold lateral movement drive assembly is connected to the frame 100 and driven to the mold body 310, so that the mold body 310 moves toward the shell material 71 and the mold body 310 is pressed together with the shell material 71.
[0039] A conveying device 400 is connected to the frame 100 and is used to convey the side plate material 72 so that the side plate material 72 is spliced with the shell material 71.
[0040] A splicing pushing device 500 is located within the installation gap and is used to push the side plate material 72 toward the shell material 71 to fold.
[0041] The technical solution of this invention involves feeding the shell material to the processing table, then using a mold positioning device to squeeze and clamp the shell material, preventing slippage during the molding process and ensuring smooth processing. Next, a feeding device feeds the side plate material onto the placement table, and a conveying device transports the side plate material, initially joining it to the shell material. Finally, a splicing and pushing device pushes the side plate material towards the shell material, forming a hollow, folded box under the partitioning action of the mold body. This improves processing smoothness, assembly speed, and processing efficiency.
[0042] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the feeding device 200 includes a fifth support, an adsorption unloading component 210, a conveyor belt mechanism 220, and a flipping drive assembly 230; the second support is connected to the frame 100; the conveyor belt mechanism 220 is inclinedly arranged on the fifth support, the conveyor belt mechanism 220 is used to transport the side plate material 72, and the terrain of the side of the conveyor belt mechanism 220 near the placement platform 102 is lower than the terrain of the side of the conveyor belt mechanism 220 away from the placement platform 102; the flipping drive assembly 230 is connected to the second support and drivenly connected to the adsorption unloading component 210, and the adsorption unloading component 210 moves the side plate material 72 to the placement platform 102.
[0043] In some embodiments, the conveyor belt mechanism 220 includes a conveyor motor, a support platform, a rotating wheel assembly, and a conveyor belt. The support platform is inclinedly mounted on the fifth bracket. The conveyor motor is connected to the support platform and driven by the rotating wheel assembly. The conveyor belt is rotatably connected to the rotating wheel assembly. A stepper motor is selected as the conveyor motor; driving the conveyor belt with a stepper motor ensures orderly conveying, improves the orderliness of material feeding, and guarantees smooth operation of the forming process.

Both the (pneumatic) suction cup and the (pneumatic) nozzle are hanging devices that use the difference in internal and external atmospheric pressure to adhere to objects, or tools for grasping objects.

The tilting drive component 232 can be a rotary cylinder or a tilting drive motor. This structure can improve the flexibility and stability of unloading side plate materials and increase operational efficiency.

The toothed traction component is connected to the connecting frame 340 to move the connecting frame 340 toward or away from the placement table 101. The connecting frame 340 is fixedly connected to the mold body 310. The rotation drive component 330 is selected from rotary drive motors; preferably, a stepper drive motor is used.

[0051] The adsorption and transport component 401 is selected from (pneumatic) transport suction cups or (pneumatic) transport nozzles; and three adsorption and transport components 401 are selected and arranged in a triangle or a straight line. Both (pneumatic) suction cups and (pneumatic) nozzles are hanging devices that use the difference between internal and external atmospheric pressure to adhere to objects, or tools for grasping objects.
[0052] In some implementation methods, such as Figure 2 As shown, the linear transverse movement mechanism includes a vertical transverse movement drive component 403, a third support 404, and a horizontal transverse movement drive component 405.

The vertical transverse movement drive component 403 is connected to the other side of the third support 404 and is movably connected to the second support 402. The vertical transverse movement drive component 403 is selected from either a vertical transverse movement cylinder or a vertical transverse movement lead screw; the horizontal transverse movement drive component 405 is selected from either a horizontal transverse movement cylinder or a horizontal transverse movement lead screw. This structure can improve the flexibility of the side plate material clamping process and increase operational efficiency.
[0053] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the splicing and pushing device 500 includes a lifting component 510, a fourth support 531, a height driving component 530, and a pushing and folding component 520. The height driving component 530 is connected to the frame 100 and to the fourth support 531. The lifting component 510 is connected to the fourth support 531.
