[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is an automated carton folding machine, including a frame assembly 1 and a pressing assembly 2 movably connected to the inner cavity of the frame assembly 1.

[0031] The pressure box assembly 2 includes a lever assembly 21 and a pressure plate assembly 22;

[0032] The top plate 211 is fixedly installed at the top of the frame assembly 1. The bottom end of the top plate 211 is movably connected to the lever piston 212. The end of the lever piston 212 away from the top plate 211 is fixedly connected to the lever connecting column 213. The inner cavity of the lever connecting column 213 is movably connected to the lever shaft 214. The front and rear ends of the lever shaft 214 are fixedly connected to the lever movable column 215. The inner cavity at the lower end of the lever movable column 215 is fixedly connected to the lever body 216.

[0033] The pressure plate assembly 22 has a pressure plate fixing column 221 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the top plate 211, a pressure plate connecting column 222 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate fixing column 221, a pressure plate connecting plate 223 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate connecting column 222, a motor fixing column 224 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate connecting plate 223, a motor body 225 fixedly connected to one end of the motor fixing column 224, a pressure plate movable column 226 fixedly connected to the rear end of the motor body 225, and a pressure plate body 227 movably connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate movable column 226.

[0034] The lever assembly 21 and the pressure plate assembly 22 work together to achieve stable pressing and folding of the carton. The lever assembly 21 can position and initially fold the carton through the lever body 216, while the pressure plate assembly 22, driven by the motor, uses the pressure plate body 227 to fold the carton more precisely and forcefully. The synergistic effect of the two improves the efficiency and quality of folding.

[0035] The top plate 211 and the lever piston 212 are connected by a fixed column and a shaft. The top plate 211 is connected to the lever connecting column 213 via the lever piston 212. The lever connecting column 213 is connected to the lever movable column 215 via the lever shaft 214.

[0036] This connection method enables the lever piston 212 to drive the lever connecting column 213 to move stably. The movable connection between the lever shaft 214 and the lever movable column 215 allows the lever movable column 215 to rotate flexibly according to the actual folding requirements, enhancing the flexibility of the lever assembly 21 and making it easier to adapt to the folding of cartons of different sizes and shapes.

[0037] The inner cavity of the movable column 215 away from the main body 216 of the lever is movably connected to the lever connecting shaft 217. The outer side of the lever connecting shaft 217 is fixedly connected to the lever fixing column 218. The movable column 215 is connected to the lever fixing column 218 through the lever connecting shaft 217. The lever fixing column 218 is fixed to both ends of the pressure plate connecting column 222.

[0038] The movable column 215 of the lever is connected to the fixed column 218 of the lever through the lever connecting shaft 217, and the fixed column 218 of the lever is fixed at both ends of the pressure plate connecting column 222. This structure enables a stable linkage between the lever assembly 21 and the pressure plate assembly 22, ensuring that the two move in a coordinated manner during the folding process and improving the overall stability of the folding.

[0039] The pressure plate fixing column 221 is connected to the pressure plate connecting column 222 and the pressure plate connecting plate 223. The pressure plate connecting plate 223 is connected to the motor body 225 through the motor fixing column 224. The motor body 225 is connected to the pressure plate moving column 226 and the pressure plate body 227.

[0040] The connection method between the components ensures that the power of the motor can be effectively transmitted to the pressure plate body 227, so that the pressure plate body 227 can generate sufficient pressure and precise movement when folding, thereby achieving a good folding effect on the edge of the carton and improving the quality of the folding.

[0041] Lifting connectors 23 are fixedly connected to the bottom sides of the left and right ends of the top plate 211, and shafts are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two symmetrically arranged lifting connectors 23.

[0042] The lifting connector 23 and its bottom shaft provide a stable lifting support structure for the top plate 211, which facilitates cooperation with the lifting cylinder 13 on the frame assembly 1 to realize the lifting movement of the entire pressing box assembly 2, so as to adapt to the folding work of cartons of different heights.

[0043] The frame assembly 1 includes a frame body 11, a horizontal plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame body 11, and a lifting cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 12.

[0044] The frame assembly 1, consisting of the frame body 11, the horizontal plate 12, and the lifting cylinder 13, provides a stable support structure for the entire folding machine. The lifting cylinder 13 can provide power for the lifting of the pressing assembly 2, ensuring that the pressing assembly 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the carton, thus improving the applicability of the equipment.

[0045] The inner cavity of the horizontal plate 12 has three slots, the positions of which correspond to the positions of the three shafts at the bottom of the top plate 211. The shaft at the bottom of the lifting connector 23 is movably connected to the middle slot and is connected to the lifting cylinder 13 at the bottom of the horizontal plate 12 through the slot.

[0046] The slot on the horizontal plate 12 and the bottom shaft of the top plate 211 not only guide the lifting and lowering of the pressure box assembly 2, ensuring a smooth lifting process, but also connect to the lifting cylinder 13 through the slot, realizing the effective transmission of power, so that the lifting cylinder 13 can accurately control the lifting height of the pressure box assembly 2.

[0047] Working Principle: First, place the carton to be folded into the working area of ​​the folding machine. Start the equipment, and the lifting cylinder 13 begins to work, pushing the top plate 211 and the connected pressing box assembly 2 downwards through the connection between the slot on the horizontal plate 12 and the bottom shaft of the top plate 211. During the descent, the lever body 216 of the lever assembly 21 first contacts the carton. Due to the movable connection between the lever piston 212 and the top plate 211, and the movable connection structure between the lever connecting column 213, the lever shaft 214, and the lever movable column 215, the lever body 216 can adaptively adjust its angle according to the position and shape of the carton, initially lifting the edge of the carton, thus achieving positioning and pre-folding.

[0048] Simultaneously, driven by the motor body 225, the pressure plate assembly 22's movable column 226 drives the pressure plate body 227 to move downwards. The connection structure between components such as the pressure plate fixing column 221, pressure plate connecting column 222, pressure plate connecting plate 223, and motor fixing column 224 ensures stable power transmission from the motor, enabling the pressure plate body 227 to apply greater pressure to the edges of the carton, achieving precise edge folding.

[0049] Throughout the folding process, the lever assembly 21 and the pressure plate assembly 22 maintain coordinated action through the connection between the lever fixing post 218 and the pressure plate connecting post 222, jointly completing the folding operation of the carton. After folding, the lifting cylinder 13 drives the pressure box assembly 2 to rise, removing the folded carton and completing one folding cycle. This cycle repeats continuously, achieving automated carton folding operations, effectively avoiding the problem of scratching the inner bag of the carton during folding operations, and improving folding efficiency and quality.

[0050] This step automates the carton folding process, effectively preventing scratches on the inner bag of the carton during folding and improving folding efficiency and quality.
