Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of paper box folding, in particular to a ship box folding device and a box folding method. Background Art

[0002] The ship box is a special folding packaging box, whose design is inspired by the structure of ships. This box has a unique large opening. The notable features of the ship box are its spacious interior space and flexible folding performance, making it an ideal choice for efficient storage and transportation. The commonly used materials for producing ship boxes mainly include corrugated cardboard and high molecular polyethylene. Among them, the ship box structure made of corrugated cardboard consists of face paper, corrugated core and lining paper, and has the characteristics of light weight, pressure resistance and impact resistance.

[0003] With the development of process technology, automated box folding equipment has emerged. Among them, precision control is crucial in the entire process of forming the boat box. Advanced boat box machines are usually equipped with sophisticated control systems that can monitor and adjust various process parameters in real time to ensure that each boat box meets strict quality standards. In addition, some high-end equipment also integrates online detection systems that can instantly identify defective products on the production line, further improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0004] The current automatic box folding machines have greatly improved production efficiency with their efficient and precise operating capabilities, and have realized the automation of the entire process from cardboard to formed paper boxes. However, due to the complexity of the box folding process, the current automatic box folding machines require multiple folding steps. However, as the production batches and specifications vary, when adjusting the specifications of the ship boxes, the complex equipment is inconvenient to adjust, resulting in a lot of delays.

The two side edges of the ship box raw material plate on both sides along the X-axis direction are folded up; the conveying and feeding mechanism 4 is arranged on the side of the independent transfer mechanism 2 away from the feeding and collecting mechanism 1, and after the X-axis folding mechanism 3 folds up the side edges of the ship box raw material plate on both sides along the X-axis direction, the conveying and feeding mechanism 4 can move the ship box raw material plate to directly below the pressing mechanism 5; the Y-axis folding mechanism 6 is arranged on both sides of the pressing mechanism 5, and the guiding and outputting mechanism 7 is arranged directly below the pressing mechanism 5, and when the pressing mechanism 5 presses the ship box raw material plate below, the guiding and outputting mechanism 7 provides a supporting surface for the ship box raw material plate, and the Y-axis folding mechanism 6 folds up the side edges of the ship box raw material plate on both sides along the Y-axis direction; after the Y-axis folding mechanism 6 folds up the side edges of the ship box raw material plate on both sides along the Y-axis direction, the guiding and outputting mechanism 7 descends and guides the folded ship box to be output.

[0055] Embodiment 4:

[0056] A box folding method, using a box folding device as described in any one of the first to third embodiments to fold a box, comprises the following steps:

[0057] The ship box raw material plates cut and formed by the cutting machine are transported to the feeding and collecting mechanism 1 through the conveyor belt, and the cut and formed ship box raw material plates are accommodated in batches inside the feeding and collecting mechanism 1, or the cut and formed ship box raw material plates can be directly transported in batches to the inside of the feeding and collecting mechanism 1;

[0058] The independent transfer mechanism 2 transfers the cut and formed ship box raw material plates from the bottom of the feeding and collecting mechanism 1 to the top of the conveying and feeding mechanism 4 through the X-axis folding mechanism 3 according to the set frequency, and folds up the two side edges of the ship box raw material plates along the X-axis direction during the transfer process through the X-axis folding mechanism 3;

[0059] The conveying and feeding mechanism 4 continues to convey the raw material plate of the ship box to the bottom of the pressing mechanism 5, and provides a support surface for the raw material plate of the ship box by guiding the output mechanism 7. The pressing mechanism 5 presses the raw material plate of the ship box on the support surface, and the Y-axis folding mechanism 6 folds up the sides of the raw material plate of the ship box along the Y-axis direction. In addition, in actual use, a gluing mechanism can be set at the four corners of the pressing mechanism 5. When the ship box does not have the function of being directly folded and locked, the four corners of the ship box can be glued by the gluing mechanism when the sides of the ship box on both sides of the Y-axis direction are not folded, so as to ensure that the gluing of the ship box is completed;

[0060] The folded boat box is lowered and guided to be output through the guiding output mechanism 7 .

[0061] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
