Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of edge trimming devices, specifically an edge trimming device for disposable lunch boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Disposable lunch boxes are usually manufactured through thermoforming. After the lunch box is demolded from the mold, there will be an irregular excess edge around the outer edge of the lunch box body. The excess edge needs to be cut off by an edge trimming device to give the lunch box a neat, smooth and safe final outline to meet the requirements of product appearance, safety of use and subsequent packaging.

[0003] In the prior art, patent CN119408026A discloses a disposable lunch box trimming device, including a limiting adsorption mechanism and an elastic pressure cutting mechanism. This disposable lunch box trimming device uses the adsorption capacity of gas to complete the installation and positioning of the box. It can also provide a resisting limiting effect on the corner structure of the lunch box, thereby preventing the cutting head from over-cutting. In addition, the device can provide elastic buffer pressure to the cutting head, so that the cutting head can adapt to the over-cutting of irregular corners, thereby increasing its cutting range for corners of different shapes. Furthermore, due to the presence of elastic pressure, it can effectively prevent the cutting head from cutting too little.

[0004] However, in the above technology, the height of the cutting head is fixed and cannot change with the height of the limiting cutting plate, making it difficult to adapt to the processing of lunch boxes of different depths. Furthermore, when the lunch box is attached to the suction cup shell, it is difficult to ensure that the suction cup shell is in the middle of the lunch box, which can easily lead to the lunch box being misaligned and affect the cutting accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a disposable lunch box trimming device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A disposable lunch box trimming device, comprising:

[0008] A fixed base plate is provided below the fixed base plate and a drive motor. A first lifting limit groove is provided on the surface of the guide plate. A connecting pipe is connected below the drive motor. A limit cutting plate is slidably sleeved on the surface of the connecting pipe. A suction cup housing is connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe.

[0009] A sliding sleeve is fixedly installed in the middle of the limiting cutting plate, a connecting arm is provided on one side of the sliding sleeve, and a straightening rod is provided at the bottom of the limiting cutting plate.

[0010] One end of the connecting arm is equipped with a telescopic tube, and a telescopic rod is slidably inserted into the inside of the telescopic tube. The limiting cutting plate drives the telescopic rod to rise and fall through the connecting arm, and a cutting head is installed at the end of the telescopic rod near the limiting cutting plate.

[0011] Preferably, a motor base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed base plate, the drive motor is installed inside the motor base, and a rotor fixing plate is fixedly installed at the rotor end of the drive motor.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting pipe fixing plate is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting pipe, the connecting pipe fixing plate is fixedly connected to the rotor fixing plate, and a second lifting limit groove is formed on the surface of the connecting pipe.

[0013] Preferably, an annular guide rail is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting cutting plate near the drive motor, the sliding sleeve is disposed on the inner side of the annular guide rail, the sliding sleeve is slidably sleeved on the surface of the connecting pipe, a slider is installed on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve, the slider is slidably disposed inside the second lifting limiting groove, and an mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the bottom of the limiting cutting plate.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting bracket is provided in multiple sets, and torsion spring compartments are installed on both sides of the mounting bracket.

[0015] Preferably, a rotating ring is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting arm near the sliding sleeve, and the rotating ring is rotatably sleeved on the surface of the sliding sleeve via a bearing.

[0016] Preferably, a ball head is installed at the end of the adjusting rod away from the limiting cutting plate, and a rotating shaft is installed at the end of the adjusting rod near the limiting cutting plate. The rotating shaft extends into the interior of the torsion spring chamber, and a torsion spring is provided between the rotating shaft and the inner wall of the torsion spring chamber. Under the action of the torsion spring, the end of the adjusting rod away from the limiting cutting plate tilts towards the connecting tube.

[0017] Preferably, the telescopic rod has a guide groove on its surface, a guide block is slidably disposed inside the guide groove, the guide block is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic tube, a piston block is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod away from the limiting cutting plate, the piston block is slidably disposed inside the connecting arm, a compression spring is disposed at the end of the piston block away from the telescopic rod, and a square tube fixing plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the telescopic rod.

[0018] Preferably, the surface of the square tube fixing plate is provided with a threaded hole, and a square tube is fixedly connected to the side of the square tube fixing plate near the limiting cutting plate. The square tube communicates with the threaded hole on the surface of the square tube fixing plate, and a square rod is slidably inserted into the inside of the square tube.

[0019] Preferably, a roller is rotatably provided at one end of the square rod near the limiting cutting plate, and the roller is rolled on the surface of the annular guide rail. An adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the other end of the square rod away from the annular guide rail via a bearing, and the adjusting screw is screwed into a threaded hole on the surface of the square tube fixing plate.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. By setting a connecting arm, as the suction cup housing extends into the lunch box, the edge of the lunch box is attached to the limiting cutting plate and lifts the limiting cutting plate. The limiting cutting plate drives the connecting arm to rise through the sliding sleeve and rotating ring. The connecting arm drives the telescopic rod and the cutting head to rise synchronously through the telescopic tube, so that the cutting head is always located on the side of the limiting cutting plate, thereby realizing the processing of lunch boxes of different depths.

[0022] 2. By setting a centering rod, as the suction cup housing extends into the lunchbox, a set of ball heads abut against the side wall of the lunchbox and move the lunchbox under the action of the torsion spring, so that multiple sets of ball heads abut against the inner wall of the lunchbox, thereby achieving the centering of the lunchbox and ensuring the accuracy of the lunchbox cutting (this effect is suitable for inverted cone-shaped lunchboxes that are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom).

[0023] 3. By setting a square rod, the roller abuts against the surface of the circular guide rail to maintain the distance between the cutting head and the limiting cutting plate, avoiding the problem of the cutting head continuously rubbing against the limiting cutting plate during the cutting process and reducing the service life of the cutting head. At the same time, by adjusting the adjusting screw to control the length of the square rod extending from the inside of the square tube, the distance between the cutting head and the limiting cutting plate can be changed, which is convenient for processing lunch boxes with different width edges.
