Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding device technology, specifically a high-efficiency cardboard box folding device for cardboard box processing. Background Technology

[0002] Folding devices are mechanical systems that enable objects to be repeatedly unfolded and folded through structures such as hinges, slides, or flexible materials. Their core feature is the ability to switch functions by changing shape within a limited space. These devices are commonly found in daily life (such as folding chairs and folding screen phones), industrial fields (such as engineering telescopic arms), and aerospace technology (such as satellite solar panels). Through precise structural design, they balance stability and portability, saving storage space while maintaining structural strength during use. Modern folding devices are developing towards lightweight materials (such as carbon fiber), intelligent drive (such as shape memory alloys), and modular structures.

[0003] High-efficiency carton folding devices are specialized equipment for automated carton production. They achieve precise folding, turning, and shaping of cardboard through mechanical transmission, pneumatic pressure, or servo drive. Combined with photoelectric sensors to ensure corner alignment, and a high-speed conveyor belt to improve processing efficiency, they can complete processes such as opening, edge folding, and bottom sealing within seconds. Their advantages include significantly reducing manual folding errors, increasing packaging line speed (up to 30 cartons per minute or more), and reducing cardboard wear through optimized structure. Widely used in e-commerce logistics, food packaging, and other fields, they are one of the core pieces of equipment in modern intelligent packaging production lines.

[0004] However, existing high-efficiency carton folding devices for carton processing often have fixed connection methods where the guide rod angle is not adjustable. This can easily lead to skewed creases and crushed corners when folding different sizes of cardboard. Furthermore, traditional devices typically use right-angle punching folding, which can easily cause cardboard cracking and excessively deep creases (especially affecting high-grammage corrugated paper). In addition, folded cartons are prone to springing back, resulting in poor adhesion and loose forming, requiring subsequent manual correction. To address these issues, a high-efficiency carton folding device for carton processing is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: the outer ring of the threaded rod is threaded with a nut pair, and the nut pair is slidably connected to the bearing frame through it.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the installed nut pair 24 can be driven by the threaded rod, thereby sliding within the bearing frame and compressing the damping spring.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution: both ends of the top of the nut assembly are connected to a fixed rod that is slidably connected, and the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the bearing frame. The bottom of the outer ring of the fixed rod is connected to a slider that is slidably connected, and the slider is slidably connected to the bearing frame.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed rod installed allows the slider to slide within the bearing frame, thereby driving the pressure roller to move.

[0031] 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.

[0032] To further understand the contents of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4This utility model discloses a high-efficiency cardboard folding device for cardboard box processing, comprising two connecting plates 1. A connecting frame 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the connecting plate 1, which can support the required components and structures. A fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the connecting frame 7, which allows the connecting rod 9 to rotate within it. A limit rod 11 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the fixing plate 8, which can prevent displacement of the cardboard during folding. A bearing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the other side of the inner wall of the fixing plate 8, which can connect and fix the required telescopic rod 13. An adjusting component includes a bearing frame 18, which is fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the connecting plate 1, and can support and limit the required components and structures. The other end of the transmission rod 19 is fixedly connected to... A rocker arm 21 is installed, which allows the transmission rod 19 to rotate within the support frame 18. A second conveyor belt 16 is installed between the support plates 3, a first conveyor belt 2 is installed on one side between the connecting plates 1, and a third conveyor belt 17 is installed on the other side between the connecting plates 1. The multiple conveyor belts can transport the cardboard to be processed. An adjustment component is installed on the other side of the top of the connecting plate 1. A servo motor 28 is fixedly connected to one end of a slider 27. The servo motor 28 allows the pressure roller 29 to rotate between the sliders 27. The output end of the servo motor 28 passes through the slider 27 and is fixedly connected to the pressure roller 29. The pressure roller 29 is rotatably connected to the support frame 18. The installed pressure roller 29 can squeeze the folded pressure roller 29, thereby ensuring that the folding and forming of the carton is more regular and improving the overall quality of the carton.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3Support plates 3 are slidably connected to both sides of the middle of the connecting plates 1. First springs 4 are fixedly connected to both ends of the support plates 3, and sliding rods 5 are fixedly connected to the other ends of the first springs 4. The sliding rods 5 are slidably connected to the connecting plates 1. Guide rods 6 are provided on both sides of the top of one side of the support plate 3. By allowing the sliding rods 5 to slide into the support plate 3, the first springs 4 are compressed, causing the support plate 3 to slide out of the connecting plate 1. This allows for quick replacement of guide rods 6 at different angles to adapt to changes in cardboard size. Connecting rods 9 are rotatably connected to both ends of one bottom side of the fixed plate 8. The bottoms of the connecting rods 9 are fixed. A stop bar 10 is connected and passes through a support plate 3 on one side. The stop bar 10 can rotate within the support plate 3 through the installed connecting rod 9, so that the front end of the cardboard is automatically pulled up during the folding process, realizing an automated folding process, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. The bottom of the support plate 12 is fixedly connected with evenly distributed telescopic rods 13. The outer ring of each telescopic rod 13 is fitted with a second spring 14, and the bottom of each telescopic rod 13 is provided with a ball bearing 15. Through the deformation of the telescopic rod 13, the second spring 14 is squeezed, thereby pre-pressing during folding and improving the shape retention of the crease.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 A transmission rod 19 is rotatably connected to one end of the support frame 18. A worm gear 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod 19. A threaded rod 22 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame 18. A worm wheel 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 22, and the worm wheel 23 meshes with the worm gear 20. A nut pair 24 is threadedly connected to the outer ring of the threaded rod 22, and the nut pair 24 is slidably connected to the support frame 18. Fixed rods 25 are slidably connected to both ends of the top of the nut pair 24, and the fixed rods 25 are fixedly connected to the support frame 18. The rotation of the transmission rod 19 causes the worm gear 20 to drive the worm wheel 23 to rotate. This allows the threaded rod 22 to drive the nut assembly 24 to slide within the support frame 18, ensuring that the damping spring 26 remains stable when no adjustment is needed. This prevents unexpected changes in the pressure of the pressure roller 29, improving the stability and reliability of the equipment. The bottom of the outer ring of the fixed rod 25 is slidably connected to a slider 27, which is slidably connected to the support frame 18. The middle of the outer ring of the fixed rod 25 is fitted with a damping spring 26. Through the rebound of the damping spring 26, the slider 27 slides on the fixed rod 25, thereby avoiding excessive pressure on the cardboard, reducing cardboard damage, and improving the quality of the carton.

[0036] Working principle: By sliding the slide bar 5 into the support plate 3, the first spring 4 is compressed. Then, the support plate 3 slides into both sides of the connecting plate 1. With the rebound of the first spring 4, the slide bar 5 slides out from the support plate 3 and enters the connecting plate 1, achieving the fixed limit of the required support plate 3, thereby adjusting the required guide bar 6. When the cardboard is blocked by the guide bar 6, its two sides will be folded. Then, the cardboard contacts the stop bar 10, causing the stop bar 10 to rotate upward, making the limiting bar 11 rotate within the fixed plate 8, thereby pulling up the front end of the cardboard. The front end of the cardboard is folded and compressed by its own weight. The length of one side of the support plate 3 is much smaller than the length of the cardboard to be processed, avoiding the stop bar 10 from blocking the transportation, allowing the cardboard to be transported smoothly. After the cardboard is conveyed to the second conveyor belt 16, it contacts the ball bearing 15, causing the ball bearing 15 to move upward, causing the cardboard to stretch. The compression rod 13 deforms, thereby compressing the second spring 14. Then, the rebound of the second spring 14 causes the ball bearing 15 to initially compress the cardboard, preventing the folded cardboard from springing back. The cardboard is then transported to the bottom of the pressure roller 29. The rotation of the transmission rod 19 causes the worm gear 20 to rotate within the support frame 18. The worm gear 20 is engaged with the worm wheel 23, causing the worm wheel 23 to drive the threaded rod 22 to rotate within the support frame 18. This causes the nut pair 24 to slide a specified distance within the support frame 18, thereby compressing the damping spring 26. Subsequently, the pressure roller 29 contacts the folded cardboard, causing the pressure roller 29 to move upward, driving the slider 27 to slide upward within the support frame 18. The slider 27 slides along the fixed rod 25, compressing the damping spring 26. Finally, the rebound of the damping spring 26 provides the final compression to the folded cardboard.
