The frame is connected to a fixed limit plate near the fixed side plate, and the crossbar is slidably connected to an adjustable side limit plate. The fixed limit plate and the adjustable side limit plate limit the two sides of the cardboard. The bottom frame is connected to a side pressure plate guide rod, which is arranged perpendicular to the crossbar. The side pressure plate guide rod is slidably connected to the side pressure plate, and the side pressure plate slides along the side pressure plate guide rod. By adjusting the distance between the fixed side plate and the movable side plate, the folding requirements of cartons of different sizes can be met and the adaptability of the device can be improved. The adjustable limit plate provides a limit for the semi-finished cardboard, preventing the semi-finished cardboard from falling out of the hopper, while allowing the semi-finished cardboard to be loaded by the loading device from the same height. The fixed limit plate and the adjustable side limit plate arrange the semi-finished cardboard neatly and in the same position, improving the consistency of the carton folding and ensuring the quality of the carton.
[0019] Furthermore, in the aforementioned fully automatic carton folding device, fixed and movable limit plates are installed on either side of the conveyor belt. The fixed limit plates are connected to the conveyor belt support, while the movable limit plates are driven by a pneumatic cylinder. The cylinder drives the movable limit plates to move, adjusting the spacing between the fixed and movable limit plates to accommodate different sized cartons, ensuring that cartons are neatly delivered from the conveyor belt. Laser detectors are installed on the sides of the conveyor belt to detect the width of the cartons. If a carton is found to be out of tolerance, the system issues an alarm to alert the operator.
[0020] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention's fully automatic carton folding device only requires placing multiple semi-finished cartons in a hopper. The folding device automatically folds and seals the semi-finished cartons. This automatic operation ensures uniform packaging, improves the consistency and stability of the cartons, ensures that the cartons' load-bearing capacity meets design requirements, and improves carton quality. The transfer device automatically delivers the folded cartons, enhancing the automation of carton production and improving production efficiency to meet the needs of large-scale production. The device can meet the folding needs of cartons of different sizes, improving the adaptability of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
