Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cardboard processing technology, and in particular to a cardboard flattening device. Background Technology
[0002] Paperboard, also known as cardboard, is a thick sheet of paper made from various pulps and composed of interwoven fibers. Because paperboard is prone to warping, it needs to be flattened by a flattening device. However, most flattening devices lack unloading components, resulting in manual material handling. This requires workers to reach between the flattening components to retrieve the material, which not only poses safety hazards but also increases the workload of the workers.
[0003] A Chinese patent (authorization announcement number CN222022302U) discloses a honeycomb paperboard flattening device, which "includes a support frame, a cylinder is fixedly installed on the top wall of the support frame, and a connecting rod is slidably installed inside the support frame, the connecting rod passes through the top wall of the support frame and is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder, and a pressure plate is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the connecting rod."
[0004] It is evident that the cited patent document presents the problem of requiring manual removal of the flattened cardboard. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cardboard flattening device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cardboard flattening device, comprising a pressing platform, a vertical plate welded to the top surface of the pressing platform, an electric push rod mounted on one side of the vertical plate, a moving block fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod, two mounting plates symmetrically welded to the top surface of the moving block, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the opposite side of the two mounting plates, a flattening bottom block for placing cardboard for flattening fixedly mounted on the circumference of the rotating shaft, an eccentric position of one side of the flattening bottom block fixedly mounted on the circumference of the rotating shaft, two ends of the rotating shaft respectively penetrating to opposite sides of the two mounting plates and fixedly connected to gears, and two racks meshing with the two gears symmetrically mounted on the top surface of the pressing platform.
[0007] Preferably, a pad is welded to the top surface of the movable block, and the bottom surface of the flattening block abuts against the top surface of the pad.
[0008] Preferably, the top surface of the pressure platform is welded with an inverted L-shaped bracket, and a hydraulic cylinder is installed on the top surface of the bracket.
[0009] Preferably, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the bracket and is connected to a pressing plate for flattening the cardboard, the pressing plate being positioned above the flattening base block.
[0010] Preferably, one side of each of the two mounting plates is provided with a through hole for the rotating shaft to pass through, and the inner cavity of each of the two through holes is provided with a bearing.
[0011] Preferably, the outer sidewalls of the two bearings are respectively connected and fixed to the inner sidewalls of the two through holes, and the rotating shaft passes through the two bearings and is connected and fixed to the inner sidewalls of the two bearings.
[0012] Preferably, the top surface of the pressing platform is welded with a slide rail for limiting the movement position of the moving block, and the bottom surface of the moving block is provided with a slide groove that is adapted to slide along the slide rail.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This cardboard flattening device, by activating an electric push rod, provides power to move the moving block, thereby removing the flattened cardboard from under the pressing plate. In conjunction with gears and racks, the flattening base block rotates, creating an inclination that allows the flattened cardboard to be unloaded along the inclined flattening base block. Compared to existing devices that flatten cardboard, this device can automatically remove the flattened cardboard from the device, avoiding the need for personnel to reach between the flattening components to remove the cardboard, thus reducing the workload of personnel.
[0015] By activating the hydraulic cylinder, power can be provided to move the press plate and flatten the cardboard. The through holes and fixed bearings can support the position of the rotating shaft and allow it to rotate. The welded slide rails can limit the movement of the moving blocks to prevent deviation.

[0023] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0024] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.
[0025] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 The cardboard flattening device shown includes a pressing platform 1, a vertical plate 2 welded to the top surface of the pressing platform 1, an electric push rod 3 mounted on one side of the vertical plate 2, a movable block 4 fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 3, two mounting plates 5 symmetrically welded to the top surface of the movable block 4, a rotating shaft 6 rotatably mounted on the opposite side of the two mounting plates 5, and a flattening base block 7 for placing cardboard for flattening fixedly fitted around the circumference of the rotating shaft 6, an inverted L-shaped bracket 11 welded to the top surface of the pressing platform 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 12 mounted on the top surface of the bracket 11. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 12 passes through the bracket 11 and is connected to a pressing plate 13 for flattening the cardboard. The pressing plate 13 is located above the flattening base block 7. After the cardboard is placed on the top surface of the flattening base block 7, the hydraulic cylinder 12 is turned on, which can drive the pressing plate 13 to move downward to flatten the cardboard. After flattening, the electric push rod 3 is turned on, which can drive the moving block 4 to move laterally, thereby driving the flattening base block 7 to move laterally, so that the cardboard on the top surface of the flattening base block 7 can be removed from under the pressing plate 13, reducing safety hazards.
[0027] The flattening block 7 is eccentrically mounted on one side of the rotating shaft 6, allowing it to rotate in a circle around the axis of the rotating shaft 6. The two ends of the rotating shaft 6 pass through to opposite sides of the two mounting plates 5 and are fixedly connected to gears 8. Two racks 9, meshing with the two gears 8, are symmetrically mounted on the top surface of the pressing platform 1. A collection box (not shown) for collecting the flattened cardboard is mounted on one side of the pressing platform 1. When the moving block 4 moves, it drives the two gears 8 to move synchronously via the two mounting plates 5 and the rotating shaft 6. The two gears 8 respectively abut against... When the two racks 9 are engaged, the moving block 4 continues to move, allowing the two gears 8 to move along the two racks 9 respectively, thus enabling the two gears 8 to rotate synchronously. This, in turn, causes the two gears 8 to drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, allowing the flattening block 7 to rotate counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 6. This results in the flattening block 7 being tilted, allowing the cardboard to move along the tilted surface into the collection box for collection. This avoids the need for personnel to reach between the flattening components to remove the cardboard, reducing safety hazards and the workload of workers.
[0028] A pad 10 is welded to the top surface of the movable block 4. The bottom surface of the flattening block 7 abuts against the top surface of the pad 10. When the electric push rod 3 drives the movable block 4 to move in the opposite direction, the two gears 8 will move in the opposite direction along the rack 9, so that the flattening block 7 rotates clockwise, so that the bottom surface of the flattening block 7 can abut against the pad 10, ensuring that the top surface of the flattening block 7 can be in a horizontal state, which is convenient for subsequent flattening.
[0029] Personnel can place the cardboard on the top surface of the flattening block 7 just as the flattening block 7 touches the pad block 10, so that personnel will not be inside the flattening component when placing the cardboard, reducing safety hazards. After placement, the electric push rod 3 continues to drive the moving block 4 to move, so that the moving block 4 drives the flattening block 7 to move directly under the pressing plate 13, so that the cardboard can be flattened.
[0030] Both mounting plates 5 have through holes 14 on one side for the rotating shaft 6 to pass through. Each through hole 14 has a bearing 15 inside. The outer side walls of the two bearings 15 are connected and fixed to the inner side walls of the two through holes 14 respectively. The rotating shaft 6 passes through the two bearings 15 and is connected and fixed to the inner side walls of the two bearings 15. When the rotating shaft 6 rotates, it will drive the inner rings of the two bearings 15 to rotate, so that the two bearings 15 can support the position of the rotating shaft 6 and also assist the rotation of the rotating shaft 6.
[0031] The top surface of the pressure platform 1 is welded with a slide rail 16 for limiting the movement position of the moving block 4, and the bottom surface of the moving block 4 is provided with a slide groove 17 that is adapted to slide with the slide rail 16.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] The cardboard flattening device places the cardboard to be arranged on the top surface of the flattening base block 7 and activates the hydraulic cylinder 12, causing the pressure plate 13 to move downwards to flatten the cardboard. After the cardboard is flattened, the electric push rod 3 is activated, which drives the moving block 4 to move, allowing the moving block 4 to move the cardboard inside the flattening base block 7. When the moving block 4 moves away from under the pressure plate 13 and the two gears 8 mesh with the two racks 9 respectively, continuing to move the moving block 4 will allow the two gears 8 to mesh with the racks 9 respectively. Engaging with two racks 9 and coordinating with the movement of the moving block 4, the two gears 8 can move synchronously along the two racks 9, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of the two gears 8. In turn, the two gears 8 drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, allowing the flattening bottom block 7 to rotate counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 6. This causes the flattening bottom block 7 to tilt, allowing the cardboard to be discharged outward from the tilted surface for collection. This avoids the need for personnel to reach their hands between the flattening components to remove the cardboard, reducing safety hazards and the workload of workers.
