Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention specifically relates to an indentation device for producing packaging cartons, and belongs to the technical field of packaging carton production. Background Art

[0002] As an indispensable carrier of modern logistics and commodity packaging, the production quality of packaging cartons is directly related to the product protection performance and appearance display effect. Indentation is a key process in carton forming. Its process level and device design directly affect the folding accuracy and structural stability of the carton. The indentation process is one of the core links in the production process of packaging cartons. It realizes the planning of the carton shape and facilitates the folding and forming of the packaging cartons by pressing precise scoring lines on the surface of the cardboard. In the processing flow of packaging cartons, indentation usually constitutes a complete production line together with die-cutting, nailing or gluing, etc. Among them, the indentation quality directly determines the forming accuracy and structural stability of the carton. According to the different types of cartons, the indentation process can be divided into single-pit, double-pit, triple-pit and even quad-pit cartons indentation processing. The subdivision also includes the indentation requirements of various packaging products such as paper boxes, color boxes, color boxes and oversized odd-shaped beer boxes.

[0003] During the creasing process, accurate positioning and reliable fixation of cardboard or semi-finished cartons are prerequisites for ensuring creasing accuracy. Cardboards of different thicknesses and materials have different requirements for creasing depth. For example, corrugated cardboard, composite cardboard, single-layer cardboard, etc. require differentiated creasing treatment. However, when creasing cartons, the creasing device of the existing technology cannot control the depth of the indentation and cannot adjust the spacing between the indentations. This lack of adjustment capability makes it difficult for the same equipment to adapt to diverse production tasks, especially in small-batch, multi-variety production scenarios. The problem of insufficient equipment flexibility is particularly prominent. In addition, it is impossible to quickly creasing different positions of the packaging cartons during use. The adjustment of the indentation position often relies on manual repositioning, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to ensure accuracy. Summary of the Invention

When the No. 2 motor is driven, the spacing between the two sets of sliding plates and the indentation block can be adjusted to meet the full range of needs from small color boxes to large transport boxes. Driven by the No. 1 electric push rod, the two sets of No. 1 guide columns can move upward and extend in the mounting plate. At this time, the spring on the outside of the No. 1 guide column is in a deformed state, which can press down and position the carton that needs to be indented, solving the problems of difficult adjustment, insufficient precision, and low efficiency existing in traditional indentation equipment. It is particularly suitable for the purpose of flexible production scenarios of small batches and multiple varieties.

The second electric push rod 24 descends to make the correction plate 25 press the edge of the carton. The positioning plate 20 adapts to the thickness of the carton under the action of the spring 19. The first motor 6 drives the rotating shell 9 to rotate to the set angle (0° straight indentation / 45° oblique indentation), and the second motor 12 drives the screw 11 to rotate, adjusting the two sets of indentation blocks 17 to the target distance. The controller 3 automatically calculates the required pressure value and sets the threshold of the pressure sensor 27; The No. 1 electric push rod 15 pushes the indentation block 17 downward, and the pressure sensor 27 feeds back the pressure value in real time.
