[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , 5According to embodiment 16, a cigarette box forming device includes a multi-segment conveyor 1, which is a three-segment conveyor, consisting of a first segment, a middle segment, and a last segment. A shell plate feeding assembly 2 is installed at the first end of the multi-segment conveyor 1, and a glue rolling device 3 is installed between two segments of the multi-segment conveyor 1. A heating box 4 is installed on the top of the other segment of the multi-segment conveyor 1. A box feeding assembly 5 is installed on the back of the multi-segment conveyor 1 at the last end of the heating box 4. A dual-station feeding assembly A and a rotating folding mechanism B are provided at the last end of the multi-segment conveyor 1. The rotating folding mechanism B is located below the dual-station feeding assembly A, and a folding forming mechanism C is provided on the outward side of the rotating folding mechanism B.

[0039] In the above structure, the outer shell is transferred to the multi-segment conveyor by the outer shell loading assembly until it reaches the glue rolling device for gluing. After passing through a heating box to prevent the glue from drying, the box is transferred to the outer shell by the box loading assembly for bonding until it moves to the end of the multi-segment conveyor. The dual-station loading assembly then transfers the product to the rotating folding mechanism, and finally moves it to the folding forming mechanism to complete the folding forming operation. Therefore, it can reduce the labor intensity of manual labor, improve production efficiency, avoid material waste and reduce costs, and ensure consistent packaging quality.

[0040] like Figure 2 The outer shell loading assembly 2 includes an outer shell loading rack 201. A frame post 202 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the outer shell loading rack 201. The frame post 202 is composed of multiple posts. An upper frame 208 is fixed between the tops of the posts 202. Multiple protrusions 209 are provided on the top of the upper frame 208. Linear modules 203 are installed on both the left and right side walls of the outer shell loading rack 201. A sleeve plate 2 is installed at the moving end of the linear module 203 on the front, passing through the posts 202. 04. The moving end of the linear module 203 on the back is fixed with a support plate 205. A push cylinder 206 is installed on the top of the support plate 205. The ejector end of the push cylinder 206 is fixed with a plate column 207 that can be inserted between the columns of the frame column 202. An opening matching the column of the plate column 207 is opened on the sleeve plate 204. A transfer cylinder 210 and a pressure roller cylinder 212 are installed on the inner top wall of the loading rack plate 201 on the outer shell plate. A suction cup device 211 is fixed on the moving end of the transfer cylinder 210. Two linear modules drive the sleeve plate and support plate to move up and down. The sleeve plate can drive the outer shell plate to move up. When it moves to the limit, the push cylinder will adjust the plate column to insert into the opening of the sleeve plate. Then, by moving the support plate up, the outer shell plate can continue to be pushed up. At the same time, the protrusion will form a limit at the top of the upper frame. With the cooperation of the transfer cylinder and suction cup device, the outer shell plate can be transferred to the multi-section conveyor table to complete the automatic feeding operation. With the cooperation of the pressure roller cylinder, it can play a leveling role.

[0041] like Figure 4 and 6 The box loading assembly 5 includes a box loading rack 501 located at the tail end of the multi-segment conveyor 1, a robotic arm 12, a steel frame 10, and a sensor 11 mounted on the steel frame 10. A front-push cylinder 503 is installed at the bottom of the box loading rack 501. A push plate 504, slidably connected to the bottom of the box loading rack 501, is fixed to the top end of the front-push cylinder 503. The push plate 504 is U-shaped. A retaining edge 502 and a sensing sensor are formed on the side of the box loading rack 501 near the multi-segment conveyor 1. A positioning cylinder, opposite to the retaining edge 502, is installed on the top of the box loading rack 501. After the outer shell plate comes out of the heating chamber and passes the sensor, the robotic arm will adsorb and press the box onto the outer shell plate, completing the box loading operation. Simultaneously, the push plate, driven by the front-push cylinder, can push the box to a designated position for transfer.

[0042] like Figure 3 , 4 7. Two correspondingly distributed counter-push cylinders 7 are installed at the top of the middle section of the multi-segment conveyor 1. A long plate 8 is fixed to the top end of the counter-push cylinder 7. The end of the long plate 8 near the roller glue device 3 is arc-shaped. An auxiliary component 6 and a blocking cylinder 9 are installed at the top of the tail section of the multi-segment conveyor 1. The auxiliary component 6 includes a plate 601 fixed to the top of the tail section of the multi-segment conveyor 1. A correction cylinder 602 is installed on the left side of the plate 601. Correction plates are fixed to both top ends of the correction cylinder 602. The correction plates are L-shaped and extend to the bottom of the plate 601. A pressing cylinder 603 is installed on the right side of the plate 601. The pressing block of the pressing cylinder 603 is located between the two correction plates and extends to the bottom of the plate 601. By driving the long plate and the correction plate to move respectively by the push cylinder and the correction cylinder, the outer shell plate and the product after the outer shell plate is bonded to the box can be corrected to avoid deviation during transportation. At the same time, the pressing cylinder will firmly bond the box and the outer shell plate through the pressing block, and the blocking cylinder will block the product and wait for the dual-station loading component to complete the loading operation.

[0043] like Figure 8-11The dual-station loading assembly A includes a transfer frame plate A1. Two base plates A9 are fixed to the bottom of the transfer frame plate A1. The base plates A9 have arc-shaped holes A10 protruding outwards. A screw drive device A2 is installed on the top of the transfer frame plate A1. Each of the two screw sleeves of the screw drive device A2 is equipped with a transverse moving seat A11 that is slidably connected to the bottom of the transfer frame plate A1. The screw drive device A2 is used to drive the two transverse moving seats A11 to move in opposite directions. A longitudinal fixing plate A14 is slidably connected to the bottom of the transverse moving seat A11. A guide pulley A15 is installed at the bottom of the longitudinal fixing plate A14 and slides inside the arc-shaped hole A10. An ejector cylinder A20 is installed on the opposite side of each of the two longitudinal fixing plates A14. A suction cup device A21 is installed at the ejector end of the ejector cylinder A20. The two lead screws of the lead screw drive device can drive the two lead screw sleeves to move in opposite directions, thereby driving the suction cup device two to reciprocate through the transverse moving seat. At the same time, because the longitudinal fixed plate is slidably connected to the transverse moving seat, with the cooperation of the guide pulley and the arc hole, it can prevent the two workstations from colliding when they move, thus playing a role in avoiding collisions, and at the same time, it can also realize the function of automatic feeding.

[0044] like Figure 12-13 The rotating folding mechanism B includes a rotating table B101. Four limiting seats B107 and a guide plate B106 are mounted on the rotating surface of the rotating table B101. Two torque-driven retaining wheels B108 are installed at the openings of the limiting seats B107. The guide plate B106 is arc-shaped and sloped. A folding assembly is mounted on the worktable of the rotating table B101. The folding assembly includes two sets of roller-driven cylinders B102 mounted on the worktable of the rotating table B101. The guide plate B106 is located above the middle roller-driven cylinder B102. The first roller-driven cylinder... The roller end of the moving cylinder B102 is opposite to the opening of the limiting seat B107. The roller end of the middle roller pushing cylinder B102 is located above the limiting seat B107. The turntable surface of the rotating table B101 is octagonal. A limiting cylinder B104 is installed on the worktable surface of the rotating table B101. A limiting plate B105 is fixed to the ejected end of the limiting cylinder B104. The limiting plate B105 is U-shaped and fits with one side of the worktable surface of the rotating table B101. The middle roller pushing cylinder B102 is installed on the moving end of the limiting cylinder B104. When the product is placed into the first limiting seat, the three S1 edges can be folded and bonded. The torque stop wheel limits the product. Then, the first roller pushes the cylinder to push out, which can complete the edge folding and bonding of S4. When rotating, the guide plate guides S5 to the top of the middle roller push cylinder. With the help of the limiting cylinder and the limiting plate, the rotating table is positioned. Then, with the help of the middle roller push cylinder, S8 can be folded and bonded.

[0045] The push-folding mechanism B4 includes a belt conveyor B401 installed on the back of the rotating table B101. The reciprocating moving end of the belt conveyor B401 is fixed with an insert plate B403. The limiting seat B107 has two openings on the side opposite to the insert plate B403. One end of the insert plate B403 can extend into the interior of the limiting seat B107 through the openings. The working surface of the rotating table B101 is fixed with a limiting wheel B5, a roller B8 located at one of the openings of the limiting seat B107, and two guide wheels B7. A baffle C9 is fixed between the top of the roller B8 and the outer plate C204. The baffle C9 is arc-shaped. When the rotating table moves the product to the direction of the two guide wheels, the belt conveyor drives the insert plate to be inserted into the limit seat, pushing the product out. The limit wheel prevents the product from popping out. At the same time, the two guide wheels will complete the folding and bonding of the two S6s until they are pushed into the folding and forming mechanism. Then, the folding and forming mechanism drives the product through the rollers and baffles to complete the folding and bonding of the S8.

[0046] like Figure 14-15 The folding and forming mechanism C includes a frame C201, on which an outer plate C204 and a drive turntable C202 are mounted inside the outer plate C204. Multiple U-shaped blocks C203 are fixed to the outer side of the drive turntable C202, and the U-shaped blocks C203 are used to support the product. A box forming assembly is mounted on the outer plate C204, and the box forming assembly includes two opposing inner rollers C208 mounted inside the outer plate C204. A downward-pushing cylinder C205 is installed at the first end of the outer panel C204. A double-headed cylinder C206 is installed at the ejector end of the downward-pushing cylinder C205. Moving wheels C207 are fixed to both pushing ends of the double-headed cylinder C206. Pushing cylinders C209 and opposing cylinders C211 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the outer panel C204. A top plate C210 is fixed to the ejector end of the pushing cylinder C209. A pressing cylinder C212 is fixed to the outer side of the outer panel C204. By adjusting the position of the moving wheels with the double-headed cylinders, and then cooperating with the downward-pushing cylinders, S9 can be folded and bonded. Simultaneously, the drive turntable drives the U-shaped block to rotate, and under the action of the inner rollers, S10 is folded and bonded. At the same time, the pushing cylinder drives the top plate to press S6 firmly, and the opposing cylinders and pressing cylinders press the sides and top edges of the product firmly.

[0047] The box forming assembly includes a feeding mechanism on its right side. This feeding mechanism comprises a support platform C301 and a feeding platform C302 located on the right side of the outer panel C204. A feeding cylinder C303 is mounted on the top of the support platform C301, and a feeding plate C304 is fixed to the ejector end of the feeding cylinder C303. A push-down cylinder C305 is mounted on the top of the feeding platform C302. When the U-shaped block moves the product to be parallel to the feeding plate, the feeding cylinder ejects, pushing the product below the feeding platform. Then, the push-down cylinder presses down, further compacting the product and improving its adhesion.

[0048] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0049] By placing the outer shell panel between the frame columns, the linear module drives the sleeve plate to rise and fall. Then, in conjunction with the transfer cylinder and suction cup device, the top outer shell panel is adsorbed and placed onto the multi-section conveyor platform for transport. Simultaneously, the rollers of the pressure roller cylinder level the outer shell panel. When the sleeve plate rises to its limit, the linear module drives the support plate to move to the sleeve plate. The push cylinder drives the plate column to insert into the sleeve plate to support the outer shell panel. Then, in conjunction with the linear module, the outer shell panel continues to be pushed upward to complete the loading operation. The outer shell panel is loaded by the glue rolling device. The push cylinder drives the long plate to correct the outer shell panel during the conveying process before it enters the heating box for heating. Until the outer shell panel passes the sensor, the robot arm drives the box body to adhere to it. The outer shell is adhered to, and the forward-pushing cylinder pushes the push plate to move the box to the ready position. When the product moves to the west of the calibration cylinder, the calibration cylinder will calibrate the product, and the downward-pressing cylinder will also press the box and the outer shell together. The blocking cylinder limits the product, ensuring that the product is positioned at the drop point of the suction cup device two. The screw drive device drives the two lateral moving seats to move back and forth, and the longitudinal fixing plate moves synchronously. At the same time, the suction cup device two also moves, and the longitudinal fixing plate drives the guide pulley to move in the arc-shaped hole. Therefore, the longitudinal fixing plate changes position during the movement to avoid collision. Then, the ejection cylinder drives the suction cup device two to complete the lifting and lowering, thus completing the process. The material handling process involves loading and unloading. When the product is placed inside the limiting seat, the three S1 sections of the outer shell plate are aligned with the folded edges of the box body. Then, the rollers push the cylinder to eject the S4 section, aligning it with the box body. As the turntable rotates, the S5 section is supported by the guide plate. At this point, the limiting cylinder drives the limiting plate to position the turntable. The rollers then push the cylinder to align the S5 section of the outer shell plate with the box body. The turntable rotates again, and the belt conveyor drives the insert plate to insert into the limiting seat, ejecting the product from the limiting seat. During ejection, the limiting wheel limits the movement, and the guide wheel aligns the S6 section with the box body until the product is pushed into the U-shaped block. This drives the turntable to rotate intermittently, causing the product to... The product passes through rollers and baffles, allowing the S8 edge of the outer shell panel to be folded and bonded. When the product is below the moving wheel, the double-headed cylinder adjusts to the appropriate position, and the downward-pushing cylinder pushes down, using the moving wheel to complete the folding and bonding of the S9 edge. At the same time, the pushing cylinder drives the top plate to reinforce the S6 position. When the product passes through the inner roller, the S10 edge is folded and bonded to form the product. Then, it moves to the ejection cylinder and the pressing cylinder to reinforce the sides and top. The U-shaped block moves the product to a position parallel to the feeding plate, and the feeding cylinder ejects, pushing the product below the feeding table. Then, the downward-pushing cylinder presses down, achieving compaction again, thus effectively improving the firmness of the bonding between the outer shell panel and the box body.

[0050] In summary, this technology enables automated production of box forming, thereby reducing the intensity of manual labor, improving product consistency, avoiding material waste, and thus reducing labor and material costs.
