Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to cardboard processing, and in particular to a square board feeding structure. Background Art

[0002] Cardboard, a sturdy material made from layers of tightly bonded paper, has seen its applications expand rapidly over time, encompassing advertising displays, product packaging, architectural model making, jigsaw puzzles, and more. Precise cutting of square cardboard is a key step in its production.

[0003] A square cardboard cutting device currently available on the market consists of a stable base, a rotating cutting wheel mounted on top of the base, and a power system that drives the cutting wheel. This system is supported by a support arm on the base. The power system specifically includes an electric cylinder vertically fixed to the support arm and a motor directly connected to the cutting wheel. The electric cylinder drives the motor and cutting wheel in a vertical reciprocating motion, achieving precise cutting of the cardboard placed below the base.

[0004] However, in practice, the feeding process for square cardboard is relatively inefficient. Traditionally, workers manually load the entire stack onto a platform, then manually separate and select the top cardboard for processing. This process is not only labor-intensive but also requires frequent manual handling and selection, leaving room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a square board feeding structure to solve the problem of low square cardboard feeding efficiency in the above-mentioned related technologies.

[0006] The square plate feeding structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A square plate feeding structure includes a base and a pedestal, the upper side surface of the pedestal is lower than the upper surface height of the pedestal, a vertical plate is fixed on the pedestal, a lifting plate for stacking cardboards is slidably provided on the vertical side surface of the vertical plate, and a power source for driving the lifting plate to slide up and down is fixed; a support arm is fixed on the pedestal, a pneumatic suction cup is slidably provided on the support arm, and a driving source for driving the pneumatic suction cup to slide is fixed, and the pneumatic suction cup can slide back and forth between above the lifting plate and above the pedestal.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when clamping the cardboard to the upper surface of the base, due to the coordinated setting of the lifting plate, power source, pneumatic suction cup and driving source, the staff will pre-stack the cardboard on the upper surface of the lifting plate, and then move the pneumatic suction cup to the top of the lifting plate through the driving source to clamp the uppermost cardboard, and then move the pneumatic suction cup and the clamped cardboard to the top of the base through the driving source, and then the pneumatic suction cup stops clamping the cardboard, thereby realizing the feeding of the cardboard; when clamping again, the power source drives the lifting plate to move upward as a whole by the thickness of a cardboard, and this cycle is repeated, thereby realizing automatic feeding of the cardboard and improving the feeding efficiency of the cardboard.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the arrangement of the extension plate and the receiving rod, when the size of the cardboard being fed is large, the extension plate can be rotated upward to a position flush with the side surface of the lifting plate, and then the receiving rod can be rotated so that the end of the receiving rod is rotated to the bottom side of the extension plate for support; thereby improving the application range of the feeding structure.

[0021] Optionally, an elastic positioning piece is fixed on the receiving rod, and a positioning slot for inserting the elastic positioning piece is provided on the extension plate.
