[0051] Working principle: In use, the corrugated cardboard is first conveyed to its tail by roller conveyor 1. Then, based on inertia, the corrugated cardboard is conveyed to the lifting platform. At this time, sensor 4 senses that the corrugated cardboard has reached the designated position. Sensor 4 transmits the signal to the external control system. First, the piston rod of cylinder 211 is controlled to move forward, so that the end of the corrugated cardboard is level. Second, the piston rod of cylinder 221 is controlled to move forward, so that both sides of the corrugated cardboard are also level.
