[0002] A cardboard box is a box-shaped container made of cardboard, commonly used for packaging, storing, and transporting goods. Cardboard boxes can be classified into single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall boxes according to their structure and materials. They effectively protect the contents from damage during transportation and storage. Their structural design makes them easy to stack and handle, facilitating logistics and transportation. Furthermore, the surface of the cardboard box can be printed with relevant product information, barcodes, and shipping instructions for easy identification and management. Secondly, cardboard boxes are usually made of renewable paper, making them highly recyclable and meeting modern environmental protection requirements. During the cardboard box production process, a feeding mechanism is needed to precisely feed the cardboard material into the sewing or gluing equipment area. This mechanism usually has automatic feeding, adjustment, and control functions to improve production efficiency and sewing quality.

[0003] In existing technologies, when the cardboard box to be sewn is located on the feeding mechanism, i.e., the conveying device, it is prone to positional misalignment or non-centering. This prevents subsequent sewing components from accurately sewing the box, requiring manual adjustment by workers, increasing labor costs and reducing the quality of the sewing. Given the aforementioned existing technology, it is necessary to improve the structure of the feeding mechanism. Therefore, the applicant has made a beneficial design, and the technical solution described below arises from this background. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a feeding mechanism for sewing cartons includes a conveying device. A first fixed frame is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying device. A horizontal plate is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the first fixed frame. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate. A bidirectional lead screw is threadedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the drive motor. The outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw is movably inserted into the interior of the first fixed frame. Two moving blocks are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw. A first electric push rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two moving blocks. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the output end of each of the two first electric push rods. A centering plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two first connecting plates.

[0006] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, a limiting groove is formed at the top of the inner wall of the first fixing frame.

[0007] In another specific embodiment of this utility model, two limiting sliders are movably embedded in the inner surface wall of the limiting groove, and the bottom of the two limiting sliders is fixedly connected to the top of the two moving blocks.

[0008] In another specific embodiment of this utility model, a camera is fixedly installed on the top of the first fixing frame, and a protective cover is fixedly installed on the top of the first fixing frame.

[0009] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, a second fixing frame is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying device, and a concave frame is fixedly installed on the top of the second fixing frame.

[0010] In another specific embodiment of this utility model, two sewing components are fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the concave frame, and four second electric push rods are fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the second fixed frame.

[0011] In a further specific embodiment of this utility model, two limiting pressure plates are fixedly installed at the bottom of the four second electric push rods.

[0012] In a more specific embodiment of this utility model, a controller is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the second fixing frame, and one side of the outer wall of the controller is electrically connected to the outer wall of the drive motor, the two first electric push rods and the four second electric push rods.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0014] In this invention, a camera facilitates observation of the carton's position on the conveying device. The controller then activates the drive motor, which, under the action of the limiting groove and two limiting sliders, moves two moving blocks relative to or towards each other on the bidirectional lead screw until they reach the appropriate position. The controller then activates two first electric push rods, causing the two connecting plates and the centering plate to move downwards to the desired position. The movement of the two moving blocks further adjusts the carton's position, placing it in a specific central location before it enters the sewing area. This improves the quality of carton sewing, eliminates the need for manual adjustment by workers, reduces labor intensity, and lowers labor costs.

[0015] In this invention, when the carton is positioned below the second fixed frame and the two sewing components along with the conveying device, the operation of the conveying device is stopped. Then, the controller activates the four second electric push rods, causing them to move the two limiting pressure plates downwards and limit the carton, thereby improving the quality of the sewing components sewing the carton and thus improving the performance of the feeding mechanism for the sewing carton.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 and Figure 3This paper illustrates a feeding mechanism for sewing cartons, including a conveying device 1. A first fixed frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying device 1. A horizontal plate 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the first fixed frame 2. A drive motor 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 3. A bidirectional lead screw 5 is threadedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the drive motor 4. The outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 5 is movably inserted into the interior of the first fixed frame 2. Two moving blocks 6 are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 5. A first electric push rod 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two moving blocks 6. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly installed at the output end of each of the two first electric push rods 7. A centering plate 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two first connecting plates 8. A limiting groove 10 is formed on the top of the inner wall of the first fixed frame 2. Two limiting sliders 11 are movably embedded in the inner surface of the limiting groove 10. The bottom of each of the two limiting sliders 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the two moving blocks 6.

[0025] In use, when the carton is on the conveyor 1, the camera 12 captures its position and transmits the information to the controller 19. The controller 19 then activates the drive motor 4 mounted on the horizontal plate 3, causing it to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 5 inside the first fixed frame 2. Since the two moving blocks 6 are symmetrically threaded onto the bidirectional lead screw 5, and the limiting sliders 11 mounted on the top of the two moving blocks 6 are movably embedded in the limiting grooves 10, the two moving blocks 6 can stably move relative to or towards each other on the bidirectional lead screw 5, moving to the appropriate position according to the carton's position. Then, the control... The device 19 starts the first electric push rod 7 installed at the bottom of the two moving blocks 6, which drives the two connecting plates 8 and the centering plate 9 to move downwards a suitable distance. At this time, the conveying device 1 stops running. Then, the drive motor 4 is started, which drives the two moving blocks 6, the two first electric push rods 7, the two connecting plates 8 and the two centering plates 9 to move relative to each other until the position of the carton is adjusted to the middle of the conveying device 1. Then it enters the sewing area, which can improve the quality of carton sewing and eliminate the need for manual adjustment by the staff, reducing the fatigue of the staff and lowering labor costs, thereby improving the use effect of the feeding mechanism for sewing cartons.

[0026] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 4A camera 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the first fixed frame 2, and a protective cover 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the first fixed frame 2. A second fixed frame 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying device 1. A concave frame 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the second fixed frame 14. Two sewing components 16 are fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the concave frame 15. Four second electric push rods 17 are fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the second fixed frame 14. Two limiting pressure plates 18 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the four second electric push rods 17. A controller 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the second fixed frame 14, and the outer side of the controller 19 is electrically connected to the outer wall of the drive motor 4, the two first electric push rods 7 and the four second electric push rods 17.

[0027] In this embodiment, the protective cover 13 enhances the protection of the camera 12, preventing damage from foreign objects and thus increasing its service life. It also improves the accuracy of capturing images of the carton's position. When the carton, after being positioned, is located below the second fixing frame 14 and the two sewing components 16, the two sewing components 16, which include sewing cutters, sewing glue, and a drive mechanism, can complete the corresponding sewing operation on the carton. At this time, the operation of the conveying device 1 is stopped, and the controller 19 activates the four second electric push rods 17, causing them to move the two limiting pressure plates 18 downwards and limit the carton on the conveying device 1. Then, the two sewing components 16 perform the sewing operation, improving the quality of the sewing of the carton by the sewing components 16 and thus improving the effectiveness of the feeding mechanism for sewing the carton.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 And can be combined Figure 3The applicant briefly describes the working principle of this utility model: First, when the cardboard box to be sewn is located on the conveyor device 1, the position information of the cardboard box is transmitted to the controller 19 under the capture of the camera 12. At this time, the cardboard box is located below the first fixed frame 2, and the conveyor device 1 stops running. Then, the drive motor 4 is started by the controller 19. Since the limiting sliders 11 installed on the top of the two moving blocks 6 are movably embedded in the limiting grooves 10, the two moving blocks 6 move stably on the bidirectional lead screw 5 and move to the appropriate position as needed. Then, the two first electric push rods 7 are started by the controller 19, which drive the two connecting plates 8 and the two centering plates 9 to move downward. After moving a suitable distance, the two first electric push rods 7 are started by the controller 19. Through the above operations, the two moving blocks 6 and the two centering plates 9 move relative to each other, so that the carton is positioned in the middle on the conveying device 1. Then the conveying device 1 is started, and the carton after adjustment moves along the conveying device 1 to the bottom of the second fixed frame 14. At this time, the operation of the conveying device 1 is stopped, and the four second electric push rods 17 are started by the controller 19, which drive the two limiting pressure plates 18 to move downward and limit the carton on the conveying device 1. Then the two sewing components 16 sew the carton. In general, by adjusting the position of the carton on the conveying device 1, the quality of the subsequent sewing of the carton by the sewing components 16 is improved, thereby improving the use effect of the feeding mechanism of the sewing carton.
