[0013] When it is necessary to produce the bottom of the popcorn bucket, multiple layers of white cardboard enter the interior of the first connecting groove. Then, the upper mold structure drives the pre-cutting structure to move downward. The pre-cutting structure passes through the white cardboard, so that the white cardboard is attached to the bottom white cardboard through the limiting block. After that, the pre-cutting structure rotates to cut the white cardboard. The upper mold structure continues to move downward to discharge the cut bottom of the cup from the interior of the first connecting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, transmission wheels are rotatably connected to both sides of the first connecting groove inside the lower mold body, and support rods are provided at the four corners of the top of the lower mold body, with top plates provided on the top of the four support rods.

[0016] Furthermore, a servo motor is provided at the top of the upper mold body, and a drive gear is provided at the output end of the servo motor. A rotating ring is rotatably connected to the bottom center of the upper mold body, and a meshing toothed ring is provided on the outer wall of the rotating ring, which meshes with the drive gear.

[0017] Furthermore, the rotating ring has first guide grooves on both sides, a sliding groove on the outer wall of the rotating ring, and second guide grooves on both sides of the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the first guide groove is slidably connected to the lifting plate, the slide groove is slidably connected to the cutting blade, and the second guide groove is slidably connected to the guide strip.

[0019] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] This invention utilizes a first connecting groove inside the lower mold structure to accommodate multiple stacked white cardboard pieces. As the upper mold structure moves downward, a pre-cutting structure is inserted into the cardboard pieces and rotates to cut them. The upper mold structure then continues to move downward, pushing the cut cardboard pieces out from the lower mold body, thus enabling simultaneous feeding of the bottom plates of multiple popcorn buckets.

The blade 303 is slidably connected, and the second guide groove 210 is slidably connected to the guide strip 304. When the hydraulic push rod 204 is activated, it drives the rotating ring 207 at the bottom of the upper mold body 201 into the interior of the second connecting groove 103 to adhere to the white cardboard. Then, the electric telescopic rod 301 drives the lifting plate 302 downwards, and the lifting plate 302 drives the cutting blade 303 to insert into the interior of the white cardboard. Simultaneously, a planar spiral spring is provided between the limiting structure and the limiting block 305 to unfold the limiting block 305. 5. The limiting structure can only rotate 90°. The top of the limiting block 305 is attached to the bottom of the white cardboard. The servo motor 205 is started. The servo motor 205 drives the drive gear 206 to rotate. The drive gear 206 drives the rotating ring 207 to rotate through the meshing gear ring 211. The rotating ring 207 drives the cutting blade 303 to cut the white cardboard. Then the hydraulic push rod 204 continues to drive the upper mold body 201 to move downward.
