Detailed Implementation

[0023] The following description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example: A multifunctional cardboard folding and forming structure, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the machine includes a housing 1 and a machine base 4. Each machine base 4 has a fourth cylinder 15 mounted on its top. The piston rod of the fourth cylinder 15 is connected to a Y-axis folding plate 17. A folding rod 24 is fixedly connected to the Y-axis folding plate 17. The Y-axis folding plate 17 is slidably connected to the machine base 4. A guide rod 16 is fixedly connected to the Y-axis folding plate 17. A third cylinder 14 is mounted on the guide rod 16. The piston rod of the third cylinder 14 is connected to a connector 13. The connector 13 is slidably connected to the guide rod 16. The end of the connector 13 furthest from the third cylinder 14... A guide plate 12 is fixedly connected, and a slide rod 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide plate 12. A conveying mechanism is set between the two machine bases 4. The two machine bases 4 are connected to the housing 1. A pressing mechanism is set at the top inside the housing 1. A refolding mechanism is set on the side of the housing 1 and the machine base 4 away from the pressing mechanism. Here, when the fourth cylinder 15 is started, the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 15 extends outward. The piston rod of the fourth cylinder 15 drives the connecting piece 13 on the Y-axis folding box plate 17 to move. The connecting piece 13 drives the fixed guide plate 12 to move.

[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the conveying mechanism includes an electric slide rail 3, a bracket 8, a second cylinder 9, and an X-axis folding plate 10. An electric slide rail 3 is installed between the two machine bases 4. A second cylinder 9 is installed on the slider of the electric slide rail 3. The piston rod of the second cylinder 9 is connected to the bracket 8. Two X-axis folding plates 10 are slidably connected to the bracket 8. A limit groove 11 is opened on the guide plate 12, which is adapted to the slide rod 18. Here, when the electric slide rail 3 is started, the electric slide rail 3 drives the slider to slide. The slider of the electric slide rail 3 drives the connected second cylinder 9 to move. The second cylinder 9 drives the bracket 8 to move, and then drives the cardboard box on the bracket 8 to move. At the same time, by starting the second cylinder 9, the piston rod of the second cylinder 9 performs piston movement. The piston rod of the second cylinder 9 drives the connected bracket 8 to move up and down, so as to adapt to the height of different types of cardboard boxes after folding, and improve the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the pressing mechanism includes a first cylinder 5 and a pressure plate 7. The first cylinder 5 is installed at the top inside the housing 1. The piston rod of the first cylinder 5 is connected to the pressure plate 7. Here, when the first cylinder 5 is activated, the piston rod of the first cylinder 5 extends outward, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 5 drives the pressure plate 7 to move downward, so that the pressure plate 7 contacts the paper box to be folded and pushes the paper box downward. During the downward movement of the paper box to be folded, it is guided and limited by the X-axis folding plate 10, the guide plate 12, the Y-axis folding plate 17 and the folding rod 24, so that the paper box to be folded is folded along its own folding line during the downward movement.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, the refolding mechanism includes cylinder 19 (No. 5), cylinder 20 (No. 6), clamping plate 21, cylinder 22 (No. 7), and push rod 23. Cylinder 19 (No. 5) is installed on the side of the machine housing 1 away from cylinder 5 (No. 1). The piston rod of cylinder 19 (No. 5) is equipped with a connecting plate, and cylinder 20 (No. 6) is installed on the connecting plate. The piston rod of cylinder 20 (No. 6) is connected to clamping plate 21. Cylinder 22 (No. 7) is installed on one side of the machine base 4. The piston rod of cylinder 22 (No. 7) is connected to push rod 23. Push rod 23 is slidably connected to machine base 4. Cylinder 20 (No. 6) and cylinder 20 (No. 5) are connected... Corresponding to 19, here, cylinder 7 22 is activated, the piston rod of cylinder 7 22 extends outward, the piston rod of cylinder 7 22 drives push rod 23 to move outward, then cylinder 5 19 is activated, the piston rod of cylinder 5 19 extends outward, the piston rod of cylinder 5 19 drives connected cylinder 6 20 to move downward, causing cylinder 6 20 to drive connected clamping plate 21 to move downward, cylinder 6 20 is activated, the piston rod of cylinder 6 20 retracts inward, the piston rod of cylinder 6 20 drives clamping plate 21 to move outward.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, a transparent viewing window 2 for observing the inside of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1. The design of the transparent viewing window 2 makes it convenient for staff to observe the internal situation of the device, which helps to identify and solve problems in a timely manner.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a vacuum suction cup 6 for fixing the cardboard box is installed at the end of the piston rod of cylinder 5. Here, the function of the vacuum suction cup 6 is to contact the cardboard box after the feeding device sends the cardboard box to the bottom of cylinder 5, and achieve the effect of adsorption and fixation by drawing the air between the cardboard box and the vacuum suction cup 6, so as to prevent the pressure plate 7 from shifting when pressing the cardboard box, ensuring the folding efficiency of the cardboard box. After the pressing work is completed, the vacuum suction cup 6 releases the vacuum adsorption effect on the cardboard box.

[0030] This device is used in the paper box manufacturing process. In use, firstly, cylinder 4 (15) needs to be activated. The piston rod of cylinder 4 (15) extends outward, driving the connecting piece 13 on the Y-axis folding plate 17 to move. The connecting piece 13 then moves the fixed guide plate 12, causing the sliding rod 18 on the guide plate 12 to extend into the limiting groove 11 of the X-axis folding plate 10. The guide plate 12 and the X-axis folding plate 10 are then connected. Simultaneously, through the extension and retraction of the piston rod of cylinder 4 (15), the Y-axis folding plate 17 moves accordingly, thus adjusting the folding height according to the desired folding height. The distance between the two Y-axis folding plates 17 is adjusted to fit the width of the cardboard box to be folded. Then, cylinder 14 is activated, and the piston rod of cylinder 14 moves, causing the connecting piece 13 to move along the guide rod 16. The connecting piece 13 causes the guide plate 12 to move accordingly, and the guide plate 12 causes the X-axis folding plate 10 to slide on the bracket 8. Thus, the distance between the two X-axis folding plates 10 and the two guide plates 12 is adjusted according to the size of the cardboard box to be folded, thereby adapting to the length of the cardboard box to be folded. This allows for the adaptation to different cardboard box models and achieves precise folding.

[0031] The cardboard box to be folded is then fed to the X-axis folding plate 10 and the Y-axis folding plate 17 via a feeding device. Then, cylinder 5 is activated, and its piston rod extends outward, causing the pressure plate 7 to move downward. This pressure plate 7 contacts the cardboard box to be folded and pushes it downward. During this downward movement, the cardboard box is guided and limited by the X-axis folding plate 10, the guide plate 12, the Y-axis folding plate 17, and the folding rod 24, ensuring that the cardboard box moves downward along the folding mechanism. Fold along the folding lines, and the folded cardboard box falls onto the bracket 8. Then, activate cylinder 15 again. The piston rod of cylinder 15 retracts inward, driving the Y-axis folding plate 17 to move, causing the two Y-axis folding plates 17 to separate from each other. The Y-axis folding plate 17 drives the guide plate 12 to move outward, causing the slide rod 18 on the guide plate 12 to disengage from the limiting groove 11 on the X-axis folding plate 10, thereby releasing the connection between the guide plate 12 and the X-axis folding plate 10. Then, start the electric... The movable slide rail 3 drives the slider to slide, which in turn moves the connected cylinder 9. Cylinder 9 moves the bracket 8, which in turn moves the cardboard box on the bracket 8, moving the cardboard box below cylinder 19. Then, cylinder 22 is activated, and the piston rod of cylinder 22 extends outward, driving the push rod 23 to move outward, making the push rod 23 contact the cardboard box and apply a pushing force to it, thus folding the cardboard box. Then, cylinder 19 is activated. 9. The piston rod of cylinder 5 (19) extends outward, driving cylinder 6 (20) to move downward, causing the clamping plate 21 connected to cylinder 6 (20) to enter the cardboard box. The clamping plate 21 pushes the cardboard box after the second fold downward. After completion, cylinder 6 (20) is activated, and the piston rod of cylinder 6 (20) retracts inward, driving the clamping plate 21 to move outward. During the movement, the clamping plate 21 squeezes the cardboard box, performing the final fixing work on the cardboard box, thus completing the folding work of the cardboard box.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
