Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated equipment, and more specifically to a SIOC box-making device. Background Technology

[0002] Cardboard is the raw material for packaging boxes. A packaging box that can hold items needs to be folded multiple times to take shape. Before folding, glue needs to be sprayed on the corresponding positions on the surface of the cardboard, and then folded along the creases on the surface of the cardboard to form a carton. Currently, the traditional method is to manually fold cardboard into cartons on an assembly line. This method is not only inefficient but also prone to errors, resulting in inconsistent quality of the folded cartons. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a SIOC box-making device that can quickly fold paper cards into boxes, significantly improving work efficiency compared to manual folding.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: a SIOC case making equipment, including a feeding mechanism, a discharging device, a case making device, a handling device, and a transport mechanism. With the paper card conveying direction as a reference, the discharging device is located downstream of the feeding mechanism, the case making device is located downstream of the discharging device, and the handling device is located downstream of the case making device.

[0005] The box-making device includes multiple conveying tracks and a pressing device located at the end of the conveying tracks. The pressing device includes multiple horizontally arranged pressing blocks, each of which corresponds to one of the multiple conveying tracks and can press the paper cards located on the conveying tracks down to the positioning and transfer mechanism to complete one fold.

[0006] The handling device includes a handling mechanism located above the positioning and transfer mechanism, which can fold the paper cards located on the positioning and transfer mechanism into a carton and transport them to the transportation mechanism.

[0007] The conveying mechanism includes a first driving component and a clamping component connected to the first driving component. The clamping component includes an upper pressure plate and two side plates rotatably connected to the opposite side of the upper pressure plate. A second driving component capable of driving the two side plates to rotate is provided above the upper pressure plate. The second driving component enables the two side plates to exist in two states: open or closed, relative to the upper pressure plate.

[0008] When the two side panels are opened relative to the upper pressure plate, the side panels separate from the paper card;

[0009] When the two side panels are closed relative to the upper pressure plate, the side panels can fold the paper card into a carton and clamp and fix it.

[0010] Furthermore, the second drive assembly includes a lifting cylinder and a crossbar connected to the lifting cylinder. The crossbar is connected to the upper pressure plate via a connecting rod and can move vertically up and down along the height direction of the connecting rod. The opposite side of the crossbar is connected to the side plate via a connecting assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the first drive assembly includes a vertical module, a horizontal module, and a support frame. The vertical module is connected to the horizontal module, one end of the support frame is slidably connected to the vertical module, and the other end of the support frame is connected to the clamping assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes multiple sets of feeding conveyor belts, and each set of feeding conveyor belts is driven by an independent transmission mechanism.

[0013] Each of the feeding conveyor belts is equipped with the abutting device, which can abut multiple items placed on the feeding conveyor belt;

[0014] It also includes a limiting device connected to the end of the feeding conveyor belt. The limiting device includes a vertical plate and a pressure plate. One end of the vertical plate can support the outside of the paper card, and the pressure plate can rotate relative to the vertical plate and abut against the paper card.

[0015] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a gear disposed on the conveyor belt, a one-way bearing connected to the gear, and a rotating arm connected to the one-way bearing. The rotating arm is rotatable so that the one-way bearing drives the gear to rotate, thereby driving the feeding conveyor belt to rotate.

[0016] Furthermore, the unloading device includes a guiding component and a picking component. The guiding component is connected to the picking component. When the guiding component moves, it can drive the picking component to rotate so as to unload the items from the loading mechanism.

[0017] The guiding component includes a long rod and a slider. One end of the long rod is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, and the other end of the long rod is slidably connected to the slider. The slider is connected to the opposite side of the material handling component via a fixed shaft.

[0018] When the long rod is set horizontally, the material-picking component is located at the end of the feeding mechanism; when the long rod is set vertically, the material-picking component completes the unloading.

[0019] Furthermore, the material handling assembly includes multiple suction cups, which are sequentially connected to a fixed frame. The fixed frame is connected to the fixed shaft via a fixed rod, and the fixed rod is connected to a drive motor via a gantry frame.

[0020] Furthermore, the positioning and transfer mechanism includes a transfer conveyor belt and a plurality of positioning components connected to the transfer conveyor belt. The positioning components are located directly below the lower pressure block and cooperate with the lower pressure block to fix the paper card.

[0021] Furthermore, the positioning component includes multiple carrier seats connected to the transfer conveyor belt, a push rod connected to the carrier seats, an abutment block connected to one end of the push rod, and an elastic component. The other end of the push rod is provided with a lateral movement module, which has two states relative to the push rod: abutment and separation.

[0022] When the lateral moving module abuts against the push rod, the push rod moves and drives the abutment block to move linearly, so that the paper card is placed on the carrier.

[0023] When the lateral movement module separates from the push rod, the elastic component drives the push rod to move in the opposite direction and causes the abutment block to move linearly to abut against the paper card placed on the carrier.

[0024] Furthermore, a support assembly is provided below the pressing block at the end of the conveying track. The support assembly includes two side blocks symmetrically connected to the conveying track, a pad block located on one side of the two side blocks, and a baffle located on the other side of the two side blocks. The two side blocks, the pad block, and the baffle form an opening through which the pressing block passes to fold the paper card to the positioning and transfer mechanism.

[0025] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are:

[0026] 1. The transmission mechanism consists of a drive cylinder, a one-way bearing, and gears working together. When the drive shaft rotates forward, it drives the one-way bearing to rotate, which in turn moves the gears and the feeding conveyor belt. When the drive shaft rotates in reverse, the one-way bearing does not rotate, and the feeding conveyor belt stops moving. This design facilitates subsequent replacement and maintenance compared to a motor drive.

[0027] 2. The abutting device ensures that the paper cards placed on the feeding conveyor belt abut against each other, so that the paper cards are neatly stacked on the feeding conveyor belt, and at the same time, it is convenient for the next process to unload and pick up the paper cards.

[0028] 3. The cooperation of the support plate, the stop block and the limiting device prevents the paper from sticking during the feeding process, thus ensuring the stability and continuity of the feeding process.

[0029] 4. The abutting device engages with the feeding conveyor belt via a rack and pinion mechanism. It can move on the feeding conveyor belt via a handle, making it convenient for personnel to add paper cards. It can also move synchronously with the feeding conveyor belt, and can abut the paper cards on the feeding conveyor belt in real time.

[0030] 5. The baffle and guide rod work together to ensure that the paper card moves more stably on the feeding conveyor belt.

[0031] 6. The gantry frame can drive the material handling assembly to move as a whole, allowing the material handling assembly to move back and forth between the feeding conveyor belt and the conveyor track, making it easy to move the items.

[0032] 7. By setting the guide component, the material picking component can be flipped during its movement to pick up and put down items.

[0033] 8. The linear module can drive the suction cup to move closer to or further away from the object, making it easier to pick up and place the object.

[0034] 9. The side blocks, pads, baffles, and pressure blocks work together to quickly fold the paper cards.

[0035] 10. The positioning component can fix the folded paper card, ensuring that the paper card will not fall off during transportation.

[0036] 11. The locking block and bearing design ensure the stability of the support seat and prevent instability when the paper card is folded.

[0037] 12. By using the side panels and the top pressure plate together, not only can the paper cards be folded, but the folded cardboard boxes can also be clamped and fixed for transport.

[0038] 13. The horizontal and vertical modules work together to press the paper cards together and transport the finished cartons.

[0039] 14. The guides located on the opposite side of the transport platform ensure that the cartons do not fall off during transport on the conveyor belt and maintain a neat queue.

[0040] 15. The double-headed glue gun allows glue to be sprayed onto the parts of the paper cards that need to be engaged, making it easier to fold the paper cards into cartons.

[0041] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0069] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein.

[0070] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship described in the embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship that the product of this invention is usually placed in during use. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention specifically relates to a SIOC case making device, including a feeding mechanism 200, a discharging device 300, a case making device 400, a handling device 500, and a transport mechanism 530. Taking the conveying direction of the paper card 100 as a reference, the discharging device 300 is located downstream of the feeding mechanism 200, the case making device 400 is located downstream of the discharging device 300, and the handling device 500 is located downstream of the case making device 400.

[0072] The paper card 100 is conveyed to the box-making device 400 by the cooperation of the feeding mechanism 200 and the unloading device 300. The box-making device 400 folds the paper card once, and then the conveying device 500 folds the paper card a second time and clamps and fixes it. The cardboard box formed by folding the paper card 100 is then conveyed to the transport mechanism 530 and transported out by the transport mechanism 530.

[0073] In addition, the feeding mechanism 200, the unloading device 300, the carton device 400, the handling device 500, and the transport mechanism 530 are all set inside the frame. The frame connects and cooperates with each other to complete the folding of the paper card 100 into a carton and its transport.

[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 200 includes multiple sets of feeding conveyor belts 210, and each set of feeding conveyor belts 210 is driven by an independent transmission mechanism 250.

[0075] Each of the feeding conveyor belts 210 is equipped with the abutting device 220, which can abut multiple items placed on the feeding conveyor belt 210.

[0076] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a limiting device 230 connected to the end of the feeding conveyor belt 210. The limiting device 230 includes a vertical plate 231 and a pressure plate 234. The lower end of the vertical plate 231 is less than the height of the feeding conveyor belt 210 than the height of the item. The pressure plate 234 is connected to an eccentric block 233, which is connected to a pressing cylinder 232. The pressing cylinder 232 drives the eccentric block 233 to rotate, thereby causing the pressure plate 234 to rotate relative to the vertical plate 231 and abut against the upper end of the item.

[0077] It should be noted that each set of feeding conveyor belts 210 is controlled to rotate or stop by an independent transmission mechanism 250. Personnel need to neatly place items on the feeding conveyor belts 210, and multiple items are brought together by the abutment device 220 connected to the feeding conveyor belts 210. With this configuration, when multiple independent transmission mechanisms 250 are running simultaneously, the items on the feeding conveyor belts 210 move synchronously, facilitating synchronous unloading in the next process.

[0078] Similarly, the individual control of multiple transmission mechanisms 250 facilitates the addition of items to each feeding conveyor belt 210 by personnel one by one, avoiding the items from tipping over and no longer being neatly arranged on the feeding conveyor belts 210 when adding items to multiple feeding conveyor belts 210.

[0079] The vertical plate 231 supports the upper end of the paper card 100 surface, preventing the paper card 100 from falling off at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 210 during the feeding process. The pressing cylinder 232 drives the pressure plate 234 to rotate relative to the vertical plate 231 through the eccentric block 233, so that the lower end of the pressure plate 234 presses against the upper end of the paper card 100, positioning the paper card 100 and preventing the paper card 100 from pulling the following paper cards 100 off during the feeding process.

[0080] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the transmission mechanism 250 includes a gear 254 disposed on the conveyor belt, a one-way bearing 255 connected to the gear 254, and a rotating arm 252 connected to the one-way bearing 255. The rotating arm 252 is rotatable so that the one-way bearing 255 drives the gear 254 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding conveyor belt 210 to rotate.

[0081] One-way bearing 255 is connected to gear 254 and can drive gear 254 to rotate. Rotating arm 252 is connected to one-way bearing 255. When rotating arm 252 rotates forward, one-way bearing 255 rotates and drives gear 254 to rotate. At this time, feeding conveyor belt 210 rotates synchronously.

[0082] Additionally, when the rotating arm 252 reverses, the one-way bearing 255 does not rotate, and the feeding conveyor belt 210 stops rotating. This completes one cycle of feeding the paper cards 100 onto the feeding conveyor belt 210.

[0083] Furthermore, the use of a one-way bearing 255 enables real-time feeding and self-locking.

[0084] The transmission mechanism 250 also includes a drive shaft 253, one end of which is connected to the one-way bearing 255, and the other end of which is connected to the rotating arm 252. The rotating arm 252 is movably connected to the drive cylinder 251.

[0085] The drive shaft 253 connects the rotating arm 252 and the one-way bearing 255. The drive cylinder 251 drives the rotating arm 252 to rotate. When the drive cylinder 251 is working, the extension end of the drive cylinder 251 pushes the rotating arm 252 to rotate, so as to complete the feeding of the feeding conveyor belt 210. When the drive cylinder 251 is reset, the extension end of the drive cylinder 251 drives the rotating arm 252 to rotate in the opposite direction. During this process, the feeding conveyor belt 210 stops moving.

[0086] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the abutting device 220 includes a bracket 221, and the bottom of the bracket 221 is provided with a rack 224 that works in conjunction with the feeding conveyor belt 210. The rack 224 meshes with the feeding conveyor belt 210.

[0087] The bracket 221 engages with the feeding conveyor belt 210 via a rack 224. This configuration allows personnel to easily detach the bracket 221 from the feeding conveyor belt 210 to facilitate the addition of paper cards 100 onto the feeding conveyor belt 210. Similarly, after adding the paper cards 100, the bracket 221 is placed on the feeding conveyor belt 210. The bracket 221 moves synchronously with the feeding conveyor belt 210, abutting against the paper cards 100 placed on the feeding conveyor belt 210 to ensure that the paper cards 100 are neatly arranged on the feeding conveyor belt 210.

[0088] The support 221 has a trapezoidal structure, and the opposite side of the support 221 is provided with limiting plates 222 located on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt 210; the side of the support 221 near the item is provided with a bending plate 223, and the distance of the bending plate 223 extending out of the support 221 is equal to the distance of the limiting plate 222 extending out of the support 221.

[0089] The limiting plate 222 and the bending plate 223 are designed to facilitate contact between the paper cards 100 placed on the feeding conveyor belt 210. Both the limiting plate 222 and the bending plate 223 have elastic parts at the end near the paper cards 100. By contacting the paper cards 100 with the elastic parts, multiple paper cards 100 can be stacked neatly together.

[0090] A handle 225 is provided on one side of the bracket 221. Personnel can pull the bracket 221 open by using the handle 225, so that the bracket 221 can move relative to the feeding conveyor belt 210, making it convenient for personnel to add paper cards 100 onto the feeding conveyor belt 210.

[0091] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a baffle 240 is provided on the opposite side of the feeding conveyor belt 210. The baffle 240 is connected to the guide rod 241 through a connecting block. One end of the guide rod 241 is arc-shaped.

[0092] The baffle 240 and guide rod 241 ensure that the paper card 100 is fed more smoothly and will not tilt, so that the paper card 100 can move forward stably and facilitate the unloading of the next process.

[0093] The inner side of the baffle 240 is provided with a vertical block 260, the end of the vertical block 260 is connected to the bearing plate 261, and the upper end of the bearing plate 261 is bent.

[0094] Above the support plate 261, there are a plurality of blocks 262 located inside the baffle 240. The plurality of blocks 262 cooperate with the support plate 261 to support the surface of the item.

[0095] The vertical block 260, the bearing plate 261, and the stop block 262 not only support the surface of the paper card 100 and prevent the paper card 100 from falling off at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 210, but also prevent the unloading device 300 from unloading the paper card 100 and taking the paper card 100 behind it out at the same time.

[0096] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the unloading device 300 includes a guiding component 310 and a picking component 320. The guiding component 310 is connected to the picking component 320. When the guiding component 310 moves, it can drive the picking component 320 to rotate so as to unload the items located on the feeding conveyor belt 210.

[0097] The guide assembly 310 includes a long rod 312 and a slider 313. One end of the long rod 312 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 311, and the other end of the long rod 312 is slidably connected to the slider 313. The slider 313 is connected to the opposite side of the material handling assembly 320 through a fixed shaft 314.

[0098] When the long rod 312 is arranged horizontally, the material picking component 320 is located at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 210; when the long rod 312 is arranged vertically, the material picking component 320 completes the unloading.

[0099] According to the processing steps of the items, the feeding conveyor belt 210 is defined as the upstream, and the unloading device 300 is located downstream of the feeding conveyor belt 210, and can transport the items located on the feeding conveyor belt 210.

[0100] The feeding device 300 includes a guiding component 310 and a picking component 320. The guiding component 310 and the picking component 320 cooperate with each other and can rotate the picking component 320 to ensure the picking or placing of items. The picking component 320 is moved by a drive motor 325. During the movement, the picking component 320 does not rotate but moves axially along the output shaft of the drive motor 325. By connecting the picking component 320 to the guiding component 310, the moving of the picking component 320 can synchronously drive the moving of the guiding component 310. Similarly, the guiding component 310 guides the picking component 320 to rotate during the movement.

[0101] Similarly, during the flipping process, the material picking component 320 guides the component 310 to move synchronously, so as to ensure that the material picking component 320 can accurately reach the material picking position or the material unloading position.

[0102] One end of the long rod 312 rotates on the rotating shaft 311 and can rotate along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 311. When the long rod 312 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 311, the slider 313 connected to the other end of the long rod 312 slides on the surface of the long rod 312. In addition, when the slider 313 slides on the surface of the long rod 312, the slider 313 synchronously follows the long rod 312 to rotate along the axial direction of rotation. Since the slider 313 is connected to the material picking assembly 320 through the fixed shaft 314, the material picking assembly 320 also rotates along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 311. During the rotation, the material picking assembly 320 undergoes an angular flip.

[0103] Furthermore, the power source for the movement or flipping of the material handling component 320 is the same power source, which is achieved by the drive motor 325. When the material handling component 320 moves, it drives the long rod 312 to rotate along the axis of the rotating shaft 311. Similarly, when the long rod 312 rotates along the axis of the rotating shaft 311, the material handling component 320 flips synchronously.

[0104] The lower end of the long rod 312 is always in the same direction as the lower end of the material-picking assembly 320. Through the cooperation of the long rod 312 and the slider 313, the material-picking assembly 320 can accurately reach the material-picking position or the material-discharging device 300. The long rod 312 serves as a guide.

[0105] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the material handling assembly 320 includes a plurality of suction cups 321, which are sequentially connected to a fixing frame 322. The fixing frame 322 is connected to the fixing shaft 314 via a fixing rod 323.

[0106] Among them, multiple suction cups 321 correspond one-to-one with multiple feeding conveyor belts 210, and similarly, multiple suction cups 321 correspond one-to-one with multiple conveying tracks 330, so that the suction cups 321 can move the items on the feeding conveyor belts 210 to the conveying tracks 330.

[0107] Additionally, the fixed rod 323 is connected to the long rod 312 via the fixed shaft 314 and the slider 313. When the slider 313 slides relative to the long rod 312, the fixed frame 322 drives multiple suction cups 321 to flip simultaneously, thereby enabling the retrieval or placement of items.

[0108] Furthermore, multiple suction cups 321 are connected in series and then connected to a pneumatic valve.

[0109] The material handling component 320 also includes a linear module 326, which is connected to the suction cup 321 and can drive the suction cup 321 to move, making it convenient to pick up or put down items.

[0110] The fixed rod 323 is connected to the gantry frame 324 on the opposite side. The fixed rod 323 passes through the vertical end of the gantry frame 324 and is connected to the fixed shaft 314. The horizontal end of the gantry frame 324 is connected to the drive motor 325.

[0111] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fixing rod 323 passes through the vertical end of the gantry 324 and extends beyond the vertical end of the gantry 324, while the fixing rod 323 can rotate at the vertical end of the gantry 324. When the drive motor 325 drives the gantry 324 to rotate, it causes the fixing rod 323 to rotate axially along the output end of the drive motor 325.

[0112] During the movement of the fixed rod 323, the slider 313 drives the long rod 312 to rotate along the axis of the rotating shaft 311. At the same time, the slider 313 slides along the length of the long rod 312. During the sliding process, the fixed frame 322 and the suction cup 321 connected to the fixed frame 322 are driven to rotate synchronously along the axis of the rotating shaft 311. At this time, the fixed frame 322 and the suction cup 321 have completed the flipping.

[0113] The material handling component 320 is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the feeding conveyor belt 210.

[0114] The end of the material handling component 320 is provided with multiple conveying tracks 330, and each of the multiple conveying tracks 330 corresponds to one of the feeding conveyor belts 210.

[0115] like Figure 7 As shown, a glue sprayer 340 is provided above the conveyor track 330. The glue sprayer 340 is used to apply glue to the surface of the items, making them convenient for use in the next process.

[0116] The glue spraying machine 340 is connected to the frame (not shown in the figure), and similarly, the entire feeding device 300 is located inside the frame.

[0117] When the paper card is placed on the conveyor track 330 by the picking component 320, the paper card is conveyed to the box making device 400 by the conveyor track 330, and the box making device 400 folds the paper card 10 once.

[0118] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the box-making device 400 includes a pressing device 410 located at the end of the conveying track 330. The pressing device 410 includes a plurality of horizontally arranged pressing blocks 412. The plurality of pressing blocks 412 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of conveying tracks 330 and can press the paper card 100 located on the conveying track 330 down to the positioning and transfer mechanism 420.

[0119] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, the positioning and transfer mechanism 420 includes a transfer conveyor belt 421 and a plurality of positioning components 422 connected to the transfer conveyor belt 421. The positioning components 422 are located directly below the lower pressure block 412 and cooperate with the lower pressure block 412 to fix the paper card 100.

[0120] The paper card 100 moves on the conveyor track 330 and is conveyed to the area below the pressing block 412. The pressing block 412 presses the paper card 100 on the conveyor track 330 onto the positioning and transfer mechanism 420. At this time, the paper card 100 on the positioning and transfer mechanism 420 completes a fold during the pressing process. After the folded paper card 100 is fixed by the positioning component 422, the transfer conveyor belt 421 connected to the positioning component 422 rotates and transports the paper card 100 on the positioning component 422.

[0121] The conveyor track 330 and the pressing block 412 are in one-to-one correspondence. Similarly, the positioning component 422 located on the transfer conveyor belt 421 is also in one-to-one correspondence with the pressing block 412. By providing multiple conveyor tracks 330, pressing blocks 412 and positioning components 422, the folding efficiency of the paper card 100 can be improved, and an automated production mode can be realized.

[0122] Additionally, the positioning component 422 is used to fix the paper card 100 placed on the positioning component 422, to prevent the shape of the already folded paper card 100 from changing, and to ensure that it will not fall off during transportation.

[0123] A set of pressure blocks 412 is defined as a group, and at least two sets of pressure blocks 412 are provided. One side of each set of pressure blocks 412 is connected to a linear module 411, and the linear module 411 can drive the pressure blocks 412 to move vertically up and down.

[0124] The linear module 411 is a structure that can drive the lower pressure block 412 to move vertically up and down. It can be driven by a cylinder, a screw, a motor, etc. In this embodiment, a motor drive is preferred.

[0125] The linear module 411 drives the pressing block 412 to move vertically up and down, so as to press the paper card 100 placed below the pressing block 412 onto the positioning component 422. Similarly, the paper card 100 has been folded during the pressing process. The positioning component 422 fixes the folded paper card 100 to prevent deformation during transportation.

[0126] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a support assembly is provided below the lower pressing block 412 at the end of the conveying track 330. The support assembly includes two side blocks 413 symmetrically connected to the conveying track 330, a pad block 414 located on one side of the two side blocks 413, and a baffle plate 415 located on the other side of the two side blocks 413. The two side blocks 413, the pad block 414, and the baffle plate 415 form an opening through which the lower pressing block 412 passes, so as to fold the paper card 100 to the positioning and transfer mechanism 420.

[0127] The upper end of the pad 414 and the upper end of the side block 413 are not on the same plane.

[0128] It should be noted that the baffle 415 is used to stop the paper card 100 in a designated position. The cooperation between the two side blocks 413 and the pad block 414 ensures that the pressing block 412 can fold the paper card 100 into a designated shape when it presses down, and fixes it by the positioning component 422 to prevent the folded paper card 100 from deforming. Then, the fixed paper card 100 is transported to the next process by the transfer conveyor belt 421.

[0129] like Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, the positioning component 422 includes a carrier 4220 connected to the transfer conveyor belt 421 and an elastic clamping component connected to the carrier 4220. The elastic clamping component is capable of linearly moving along the length direction of the carrier 4220 to abut against the paper card 100 placed on the carrier 4220.

[0130] The support seat 4220 is used to place the folded paper card 100. When the pressing block 412 moves vertically downward, it causes the paper card 100 to come into contact with the support seat 4220, so that the paper card 100 is placed on the support seat 4220. At this time, the paper card 100 is already in a folded state. In order to ensure that the folded state of the paper card 100 does not deform, it is necessary to fix the folded paper card 100 by the elastic clamping component to ensure that the paper card 100 will not fall off or deform during transportation.

[0131] In addition, under normal conditions, the elastic clamping component is in the open state, which makes it easy for the pressure block 412 to move the paper card 100 onto the carrier 4220. When the paper card 100 is placed on the carrier 4220, the elastic clamping component is in the closed state, that is, the elastic clamping component abuts against and fixes the paper card 100 placed on the carrier 4220.

[0132] Two of the bearing seats 4220 are defined as a group, and multiple groups of bearing seats 4220 are provided. Multiple groups of bearing seats 4220 are arranged on the transfer conveyor belt 421 to support the paper card 100.

[0133] The two support seats 4220 form a group to abut the lower end of the paper card 100, and at the same time, the elastic clamping components connected to the support seats 4220 can abut the two sides of the paper card 100, so as to ensure that the paper card 100 is more stable on the support seats 4220.

[0134] like Figure 14 and Figure 16As shown, the elastic clamping assembly includes a push rod 4221 disposed on the bearing seat 4220, an abutment block 4222 connected to one end of the push rod 4221, and an elastic component. The other end of the push rod 4221 is provided with a lateral movement module 423, which has two states relative to the push rod 4221: abutment and separation.

[0135] When the lateral moving module 423 abuts against the push rod 4221, the push rod 4221 moves and drives the abutment block 4222 to move linearly, so that the paper card 100 is placed on the carrier 4220.

[0136] When the lateral movement module 423 separates from the push rod 4221, the elastic component drives the push rod 4221 to move in the opposite direction and drives the abutment block 4222 to move linearly to abut against the paper card 100 placed on the carrier 4220.

[0137] It should be noted that the lateral movement module 423 can drive the push rod 4221 to move horizontally along the length of the support 4220. During the movement, the push rod 4221 drives the abutment block 4222 to move synchronously, so that the abutment block 4222 can be in two states of abutment or separation relative to the paper card 100.

[0138] Similarly, the elastic component is located below the long rod. When the long rod moves, it can compress the elastic component. At this time, the abutment block 4222 is separated from the paper card 100, which makes it easier for the paper card 100 to be placed on the carrier 4220.

[0139] When the force driving the lateral movement module 423 disappears, the elasticity of the elastic component is used to drive the long rod to move in the opposite direction and drive the abutment block 4222 to move. At this time, the abutment block 4222 abuts against the paper card 100 and fixes the paper card 100.

[0140] like Figure 16 As shown, the elastic component includes a slide rod 4223 symmetrically disposed on the support seat 4220, a spring 4224 sleeved on the slide rod 4223, and a push block 4225 slidably connected to the slide rod 4223. The lower end of the push block 4225 is connected to the push rod 4221.

[0141] The push block 4225 is located on one side of the spring 4224 and can compress the spring 4224 sleeved on the surface of the slide bar 4223. Similarly, the push block 4225 is connected to the long rod. When the long rod moves, the push block 4225 moves synchronously. The push block 4225 and the spring 4224 work together to facilitate the long rod to return to its original position, so as to achieve the abutment and fixation of the paper card 100.

[0142] like Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, the transfer conveyor belt 421 is rotatably connected to the conveyor platform 4210. The lower end of the positioning component 422 is connected to the transfer conveyor belt 421 via a locking block 424. A bearing 426 is provided on the opposite side of the locking block 424. The conveyor platform 4210 is provided with a slide groove 425 that cooperates with the bearing 426. The bearing 426 is slidably connected to the slide groove 425 and supports the positioning component 422.

[0143] When the conveyor belt 421 moves, the bearing 426 can move synchronously within the chute 425. The bearing 426 abuts against the chute 425 to ensure the bearing capacity of the support seat 4220. Similarly, when the pressing block 412 presses the paper card 100 down onto the support seat 4220, the conveyor belt 421 will not deform, and the pressing force is entirely borne by the conveyor platform 4210.

[0144] Through the above process, the paper card 100 completes one fold. However, the paper card 100 folded once cannot be folded into a box. It needs to be folded twice to form a box. Therefore, the paper card 100 on the carrier 4220 is transported to the handling device 500 by the transfer conveyor belt 421. The handling device 500 performs a second fold on the paper card 100 and clamps and fixes it, and simultaneously completes the transportation of the folded carton.

[0145] like Figure 17 , Figure 14 , Figure 16 and Figure 20 As shown, the handling device 500 includes a handling mechanism and a transport mechanism 530. The handling mechanism is located above the positioning and transfer mechanism 420 and can fold the paper card 100 located in the positioning and transfer mechanism 420 into a carton twice and clamp and fix it to be transported to the transport mechanism 530.

[0146] like Figure 17 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes a first drive assembly 510 and a clamping assembly 520 connected to the first drive assembly 510. The clamping assembly 520 includes an upper pressure plate 521 and two side plates 522 rotatably connected to the opposite side of the upper pressure plate 521. A second drive assembly capable of driving the two side plates 522 to rotate is provided above the upper pressure plate 521. The second drive assembly enables the two side plates 522 to exist in two states relative to the upper pressure plate 521: open or closed.

[0147] When the two side plates 522 are opened relative to the upper pressure plate 521, the side plates 522 are separated from the paper card 100;

[0148] When the two side plates 522 are closed relative to the upper pressure plate 521, the side plates 522 can fold the paper card 100 into a carton and clamp and fix it.

[0149] like Figure 14 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, it should be noted that the positioning and transfer mechanism 420 includes a transfer conveyor belt 421 and a plurality of positioning components 422 connected to the transfer conveyor belt 421. When the transfer conveyor belt 421 transports the paper card 100 to the handling mechanism, the positioning components 422 are in a state of fixing the paper card 100, ensuring that the paper card 100 will not move or fall off during transportation.

[0150] Additionally, the positioning component 422 includes a support 4220 connected to the transfer conveyor belt 421 and an elastic clamping component 520 connected to the support 4220. The elastic clamping component 520 is capable of linearly moving along the length of the support 4220 to abut against the paper card 100 placed on the support 4220.

[0151] When the clamping assembly 520 folds and fixes the paper card 100 located on the carrier 4220, the elastic clamping assembly 520 also moves, causing the elastic clamping assembly 520 to separate from the paper card 100. At this time, the clamping assembly 520 can transport the carton after the paper card 100 is formed.

[0152] Furthermore, in terms of the order of movement, the clamping component 520 moves first, and after the clamping component 520 reaches position A, the elastic clamping component 520 moves again to unlock the paper card 100 placed on the carrier 4220.

[0153] like Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 19 As shown, the side plate 522 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the upper pressure plate 521. When the first drive assembly 510 drives the upper pressure plate 521 to contact the paper card 100 and press the paper card 100, when the upper pressure plate 521 reaches the designated position, the elastic clamping assembly 520 moves to unlock the paper card 100 located on the carrier 4220. At this time, the second drive assembly drives the two side plates 522 to rotate relative to the upper pressure plate 521 to finally fold the paper card 100 into a carton and clamp and fix it.

[0154] like Figure 19As shown, the second drive assembly includes a lifting cylinder 528 and a crossbar 526 connected to the lifting cylinder 528. The crossbar 526 is connected to the upper pressure plate 521 via a connecting rod 527 and can move vertically up and down along the height direction of the connecting rod 527. The opposite side of the crossbar 526 is connected to the side plate 522 via a connecting assembly. When the crossbar 526 moves, the connecting assembly can drive the side plate 522 to rotate relative to the upper pressure plate 521.

[0155] The first drive component 510 drives the entire clamping component 520 to move vertically or horizontally, in order to move the carton located in the clamping component 520. The second drive component drives the clamping component 520 to complete the clamping action and fold the paper card 100 into a carton.

[0156] The lifting cylinder 528 can drive the crossbar 526 to move vertically up and down. The two sides of the crossbar 526 are connected to the side plate 522 through the connecting assembly. When the lifting cylinder 528 drives the crossbar 526 to move vertically upward, the crossbar 526 drives the side plate 522 to rotate relative to the upper pressure plate 521 through the connecting assembly. At this time, the side plate 522 is set parallel to the upper pressure plate 521.

[0157] When the lifting cylinder 528 drives the crossbar 526 to move vertically downward, the crossbar 526 drives the side plate 522 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the upper pressure plate 521 through the connecting assembly. At this time, the included angle between the side plate 522 and the upper pressure plate 521 is less than 90 degrees. In this way, the paper card 100 is finally folded into a carton through the side plate 522, which is convenient for storing items and at the same time clamps and fixes the carton for easy transportation.

[0158] The connecting assembly includes a rotating arm 524 and a guide block 523. One end of the guide block 523 is fixed to the outside of the side plate 522, one end of the rotating arm 524 is connected to the crossbar 526, and the other end of the rotating arm 524 is movably connected to the other end of the guide block 523.

[0159] The rotating arm 524 is provided with a guide groove 525 for use with the guide block 523, and the guide block 523 can be slidably connected within the guide groove 525.

[0160] One end of the rotating arm 524 is connected to the crossbar 526, and the other end of the rotating arm 524 is slidably connected to the guide block 523. The guide block 523 is moved by the guide groove 525 of the rotating arm 524, which in turn drives the side plate 522 connected to the guide block 523 to move.

[0161] like Figure 17 and Figure 18As shown, the first drive assembly 510 includes a vertical module 512, a horizontal module 511, and a support frame 513. The vertical module 512 is connected to the horizontal module 511. One end of the support frame 513 is slidably connected to the vertical module 512, and the other end of the support frame 513 is connected to the clamping assembly 520.

[0162] The vertical module 512 and the horizontal module 511 are both linear motion, which can drive the support frame 513 to move horizontally or vertically. The vertical module 512 and the horizontal module 511 drive the clamping component 520 to move above the paper card 100 through the support frame 513. When the clamping component 520 folds the paper card 100 into a carton and clamps it in place, the vertical module 512 and the horizontal module 511 complete the handling of the carton.

[0163] like Figure 17 As shown, the direction of conveying the paper card 100 is defined as upstream. A double-headed glue gun 540 is provided upstream of the conveying mechanism, and the double-headed glue gun 540 is located above the positioning and transfer mechanism 420.

[0164] The double-headed glue gun 540 is designed to spray glue in advance on the parts of the paper card 100 that need to be folded. When the upper pressure plate 521 and the side plate 522 work together to fold the paper card 100, the glue will stick the paper card 100 into a carton, ensuring that the carton will not deform.

[0165] like Figure 17 and Figure 20 As shown, the transport mechanism 530 includes a transport belt 531 and a transport platform 532. The transport platform 532 can drive the transport belt 531 to rotate, which facilitates the transport of cartons.

[0166] The height of the transport belt 531 relative to the ground is greater than the height of the positioning and transfer mechanism 420 relative to the ground.

[0167] Guides 533 are provided on opposite sides of the transport platform 532. By setting the guides 533, the cartons will not shift when transported on the transport belt 531, thus preventing them from falling off.

[0168] Additionally, the distance between the two guides 533 is adjustable, making it suitable for cartons of different sizes.

[0169] In summary, through the coordinated use of the feeding mechanism 200 and the unloading device 300, the paper card 100 is conveyed to the box-making device 400. The box-making device 400 folds the paper card once, and then the conveying device 500 folds the paper card a second time and clamps it in place. The resulting carton is then transported to the transport mechanism 530, which carries the carton out. This automated production method quickly folds the paper card into a carton and transports it, significantly improving production efficiency compared to manual folding and handling.
