[0033] When the formed cartons are pushed out of the discharge port to the fixed frame 3, the second motor 10 is started. The output end of the second motor 10 drives one set of rocker arms 11 to rotate, and since the two sets of rocker arms 11 are fixedly connected with sprockets 13 at the end close to the second motor 10 and are connected through chain transmission, the other set of rocker arms 11 will also rotate synchronously.

[0034] The working principle of the carton forming mechanism is as follows:

[0035] I. Automatic feeding process

[0036] Initial state:

[0037] The first conveying belt 2 is in standby state, used to convey the to-be-formed cartons to the placement table 4, and the symmetrically formed grooves 5 inside the placement table 4 provide space for the L-shaped rods 9 in the turnover mechanism.

[0038] Start the turnover mechanism:

[0039] When feeding is needed, the first conveying belt 2 conveys the to-be-formed cartons to the placement table 4, and the first motor 7 is started to drive the rotating rod 8 to rotate.

[0040] A plurality of L-shaped rods 9 on the surface of the rotating rod 8 rotate, and one set of L-shaped rods 9 extends from the groove 5 inside the placement table 4 to hook the bottom layer of cartons. The first motor 7 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate 120 degrees at a time, and this set of L-shaped rods 9 turns and lifts the to-be-formed cartons from the placement table 4 to above the feeding plate 101, and the to-be-formed cartons automatically slide into the feeding plate 101 due to gravity.

[0041] During the turning process, the avoidance groove 102 inside the feeding plate 101 provides sufficient space for the L-shaped rods 9, avoiding interference.

[0042] At the same time, the next set of L-shaped rods 9 enters the groove 5 inside the placement table 4, preparing for the next turning. At this time, the first conveying belt 2 can continue to convey the next to-be-turned carton to the appropriate position of the placement table 4.

[0043] II. Equidistant discharging and conveying process

[0044] Carton forming:

[0045] Inside the carton forming machine body 1, the cartons are formed into required shaped cartons after a series of forming processes.

[0046] The push mechanism is started:

[0047] When the shaped cartons are pushed to the fixing frame 3 through the discharge port, the second motor 10 is started.

[0048] The output end of the second motor 10 drives one set of rocker arms 11 to rotate, and since the two sets of rocker arms 11 are respectively fixedly connected with sprockets 13 at the end close to the second motor 10 and are connected through chain transmission, the other set of rocker arms 11 will also rotate synchronously.

[0049] The end of the rocker arm 11 away from the second motor 10 is connected with the push seat 12 through rotation, and the top of the push seat 12 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the push plate 6.

[0050] Therefore, when the rocker arm 11 rotates, the push seat 12 and the push plate 6 will move, and the shaped cartons are pushed out from the carton forming machine body 1 at equal intervals.

[0051] Subsequently, the cartons can be conveyed to the subsequent packaging area for further processing through the second conveying belt 14 away from the end of the carton forming machine body 1.

[0052] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection range of the present application.
