Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carton opening machine technology, specifically to a carton opening machine's folding, forming, and sealing bottom mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A carton erector is an automated packaging device mainly used to automatically complete the processes of opening, forming, folding, and sealing cartons. During carton processing, sealing the bottom of the carton is necessary. Current carton erectors typically require four sets of pusher mechanisms to push four movable cardboard pieces at the bottom of the carton to achieve sealing. However, using four pusher mechanisms significantly increases the number of parts in the machine, making its structure complex and poorly designed, thus increasing operating costs. After sealing, manual application of adhesive tape is required, followed by manual cutting of the tape before the carton is output. This manual sealing and tape cutting also leads to low processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a box folding and sealing mechanism for a box opening machine. This box folding and sealing mechanism has the advantages of reasonable design, simple structure, reduced number of machine parts, reduced operating costs, automatic sealing and tape cutting, eliminating the trouble of manual operation, and improving processing efficiency, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a box folding and sealing mechanism for a box opening machine, the box folding and sealing mechanism including a base and a feeding component, a sealing component and a sealing component disposed on the base, the sealing component being located between the feeding component and the sealing component;

[0005] The feeding assembly includes two fixed seats and feeding motors fixed to the lower end faces of the two fixed seats respectively. The output ends of the two feeding motors are respectively connected to conveyor belts. The two conveyor belts run synchronously. The two conveyor belts are used to limit the two sides of the carton and push the carton forward. A receiving plate and a conveying plate fixedly connected to the receiving plate are set between the two conveyor belts. The two conveyor belts are respectively set in the two fixed seats and can run smoothly.

[0006] The bottom sealing assembly includes two mounting plates and two second cylinders fixed to the two mounting plates respectively. The two mounting plates are fixed to the lower end faces of two fixed seats respectively. The output ends of the two second cylinders are respectively provided with a first adapter plate, a second adapter plate and a positioning piece. The upper end faces of the two positioning pieces are respectively fixed with bottom sealing push plates. The two bottom sealing push plates can run in opposite directions to push the movable cardboard on both sides of the bottom of the carton, thereby sealing the bottom of the carton.

[0007] The sealing assembly includes an extension base and a cutter fixed to the top of the extension base. A lower extension plate and a tape roll mounted on the lower extension plate are provided at the bottom of the extension base. The tape roll is used to store tape. Two support plates and sealing rolls are respectively mounted on the two support plates at the top of the extension base. The lower extension plate and the support plates are both fixed to the extension base. The height of the two sealing rolls is equal.

[0008] Preferably, both fixing seats are fixed to the upper surface of the base, and the two fixing seats are arranged in parallel.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding assembly also includes a receiving plate and a first cylinder fixed on the receiving plate. The receiving plate is fixed on the base, and the output end of the first cylinder is movably connected to a receiving plate. The conveying plate is fixed on the receiving plate. When the first cylinder is running, it can drive the end of the receiving plate away from the conveying plate to bend to a certain extent, so as to better receive the carton. However, the bending of the receiving plate will not affect the structural stability of the receiving plate and the conveying plate.

[0010] Preferably, the output ends of the two second cylinders are movably connected to the two first adapter plates, and the two first adapter plates are movably connected to the two positioning plates through the two second adapter plates, so that the two second cylinders can drive the two positioning plates to move horizontally during operation, thereby causing the two bottom sealing push plates to move horizontally as well, pushing the movable cardboard on both sides of the bottom of the carton to move closer to each other and fit against the carton body, thus sealing the bottom of the carton.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing assembly also includes an upper lifting plate, which is fixed to the base and has its end away from the cutter bent downwards. Therefore, the upper lifting plate can guide the carton upwards so that the bottom of the carton passes through two sealing rollers. During this process, the tape conveyed on the two sealing rollers adheres to the movable cardboard at the bottom of the carton, thereby achieving automatic sealing.

[0012] Preferably, an adjustable pitch assembly is also provided on the base. The adjustable pitch assembly includes an adjustable pitch motor and a synchronous pulley set connected to the adjustable pitch motor.

The synchronous pulley set is connected to the lead screw, and two parallel lower support seats are provided on the lead screw.

[0013] Preferably, two lower support seats are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the lead screw, and both lower support seats are arranged on the guide rod, and two fixed seats are respectively fixed on the two lower support seats.

[0014] Preferably, the lead screw and guide rod are arranged in parallel, and the threads at both ends of the lead screw are turned in opposite directions. Both ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the base. When the lead screw is running, the lower support seats symmetrically arranged at both ends will translate in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the distance between the two fixed seats to accommodate cartons of different sizes.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides a box folding and bottom sealing mechanism for a box opening machine. The box folding and bottom sealing mechanism includes a base and a feeding assembly, a bottom sealing assembly, a sealing assembly, and an adjusting assembly mounted on the base.

Furthermore, the feeding assembly also includes a receiving plate and a first cylinder fixed to the receiving plate. The output end of the cylinder is movably connected to a receiving plate, and the conveyor plate is fixed on the receiving plate. When the first cylinder runs, it can drive the end of the receiving plate away from the conveyor plate to bend to a certain extent. As the carton is fed from the previous mechanism to this mechanism, the bent receiving plate automatically pushes the movable cardboard on one side of the bottom of the carton, so that the movable cardboard is attached to the bottom of the carton, thus achieving automatic bottom sealing. Therefore, one bottom sealing operation is reduced, which helps to reduce the number of parts of the whole machine and reduce operating costs, which is economical and practical.

[0017] 2. The sealing assembly in this utility model includes an extension base and a cutter fixed to the top of the extension base. A lower extension plate and a tape roll mounted on the lower extension plate are provided at the bottom of the extension base. Two support plates and sealing rolls respectively mounted on the top of the extension base are provided at the top. The tape is output upwards from the tape rolls, then passes through the two sealing rolls and is cut near the cutter. After the carton is fed onto the two sealing rolls by the lifting plate, it is conveyed forward by the two sealing rolls and automatically adheres to the tape conveyed on the two sealing rolls, achieving automatic sealing. Subsequently, the carton passes over the cutter, and the weight of the carton causes the tape to press against the cutter, automatically cutting the tape. Therefore, the folding and sealing mechanism of this carton opener can automatically seal and cut the tape, eliminating the hassle of manual operation and improving processing efficiency.

[0018] 3. The pitch adjustment component in this utility model includes a pitch adjustment motor and a synchronous pulley assembly connected to the pitch adjustment motor.

The synchronous pulley assembly is connected to the lead screw, and the threads at both ends of the lead screw have opposite directions. Two parallel lower support seats are provided on the lead screw, and the two lower support seats are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the lead screw. Both lower support seats are set on the guide rod, and two fixed seats are fixed on the two lower support seats respectively. Both ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the base. The pitch adjustment motor, in conjunction with the synchronous pulley assembly, drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby adjusting the distance between the two lower support seats and the two fixed seats above them. This facilitates sealing the bottom of cartons of different widths, thereby improving the applicability of the carton folding and sealing mechanism of the carton opener, making it suitable for widespread use.

The other movable cardboard, opposite to this one, is pushed by an external structure, which is existing technology and will not be described further. The carton is then constrained by the two conveyor belts 23 and transported forward under their operation. When the cardboard is fed between the two bottom sealing push plates 36, the two second cylinders 32 are driven to operate, causing the two bottom sealing push plates 36 to move closer to each other, thereby pushing the other two opposing movable cardboard pieces at the bottom of the carton to adhere to the bottom of the carton. At this time, all four movable cardboard pieces can adhere to the bottom of the carton. After that, the carton moves slightly upward under the action of the lifting plate 47, passes through the two sealing rolls 46, and automatically adheres to the tape conveyed on the two sealing rolls 46, realizing automatic sealing. Finally, the carton is output from above the cutter 42, and the tape is cut by the weight of the carton itself pressing on the cutter 42.
