[0002] In the processing of food trays, the opening edges of the food trays are usually curled to enhance the strength of the food trays. In order to improve the efficiency of curling, food tray curling machines are currently used for curling. Curling has the following advantages:

[0003] (1) Curling can prevent the plastic wrap from being cut by the edge of the box when it is wrapped.

[0004] (2) The curled edge can prevent the edge of the box from scratching the skin during use.

[0005] (3) Curling can increase product strength and prevent deformation.

[0006] However, when the existing curling forming device is loading during processing, the food trays are stacked together, and then a single food tray is sucked by the suction cup for processing each time. During the sucking process, it is easy to suck two food trays at a time, or the food trays are not sucked into place and fall off, which affects the processing efficiency. Summary of the invention

At this time, the push plate is driven by the motor to move, and the push plate moves to push the food tray to move to one side of the baffle plate. At this time, the food tray is limited between the baffle plate and the push plate. At this time, the side edge of the front food tray coincides with the rotation trajectory of the toggle plate, and the second and subsequent food trays are located above the negative pressure suction plate.
