[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] 1. The bottom plate of the top and bottom cover is first pre-attached to the bottom sheet of the packaging paper. The pre-attached top and bottom cover is then fed to the clamping and lifting drive mechanism by the automatic feeding mechanism. This facilitates the automatic flow of products on the production line, improves the automation process, reduces manual feeding, and increases production efficiency. The lifting drive mechanism drives the pre-attached top and bottom cover to move to the working positions of the first forming mechanism and the second forming mechanism. The first forming mechanism attaches the packaging paper to the left and right side plates, and the second forming mechanism attaches the packaging paper to the top and bottom cover, completely covering the top and bottom cover. The machine replaces manual operation in covering the top and bottom cover, which reduces manual operation and lowers labor costs. The machine is also highly error-proof, reducing mistakes and ensuring the quality of packaging paper application. The machine also has high fatigue resistance and strong continuous working capacity, resulting in high efficiency in mass production.
[0019] 2. The upper mold is lifted and lowered by the upper mold lifting drive assembly, and the lower mold is lifted and lowered by the lower mold lifting drive assembly. This allows the upper and lower molds to clamp and fix the top and bottom covers. The upper and lower molds are also lifted and lowered synchronously by the upper and lower mold lifting drive assemblies, which in turn lifts and lowers the top and bottom covers. The upper mold lifting drive assembly uses a first servo motor in conjunction with a gear and rack to achieve the first stage of displacement. The second stage of displacement is achieved by a second servo motor in conjunction with a lead screw and nut. The displacement stroke is long and the displacement accuracy is high. Furthermore, the servo drive facilitates automated control through a control program. The lower mold is lifted and lowered by a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic cylinder uses an electronically controlled valve to control the intake and exhaust of air to adjust the stroke, which facilitates coordination with the upper mold lifting drive assembly. This method is also relatively low in cost.
[0020] 3. The first forming mechanism uses two first rotating rollers to roll up the left and right sides of the packaging paper from the bottom of the top and bottom cover, respectively, during the process of the top and bottom cover being driven down by the clamping and lifting drive mechanism. This rolls the left and right sides of the packaging paper onto the outer surfaces of the left and right sides of the top and bottom cover, respectively. Then, the clamping and lifting drive mechanism drives the top surface of the top and bottom cover to the position of the alignment bending piece, while the side plates of the top and bottom cover align with the pressure plate. A cylinder drives the two pressure plates to move closer together to fix the top and bottom cover. The upper mold lifting drive assembly drives the upper mold to rise, causing the upper mold to detach from the top and bottom cover to avoid collision. A cylinder drives the bending piece, causing the two first bending pieces to move towards each other, so that the two first bending pieces respectively press against the left inner flap at the top of the left side piece and the right inner flap at the top of the right side piece. The right inner flap is bent at 90° and attached to the upper edge of the left and right sides of the top and bottom plates respectively. The upper mold is driven to descend by the upper mold lifting drive assembly, so that the upper mold presses the left and right inner flaps against the inner sides of the left and right sides of the top and bottom plates respectively. The second forming mechanism attaches the front and rear side pieces of the packaging paper to the outer sides of the front and rear sides of the top and bottom plates respectively, and attaches the front and rear inner flaps of the packaging paper to the inner sides of the front and rear sides of the top and bottom plates respectively. Its structure and principle are the same as the first forming mechanism. The first forming mechanism attaches the right front corner piece and right rear corner piece of the packaging paper to the outer sides of the front and rear sides of the top and bottom plates respectively, and attaches the left front corner piece and left rear corner piece to the outer sides of the front and rear sides of the top and bottom plates respectively. The corner wrapping is achieved by the corresponding pressing and attaching of the pressure blocks driven by the four fifth cylinders on the bottom sides of the two fourth mounting plates.
[0021] 4. The first transverse drive assembly drives the two first mounting plates to move away from each other or closer together. The fourth transverse drive assembly drives the two fourth mounting plates to move away from each other or closer together. The fifth transverse drive assembly drives the two fifth mounting plates to move away from each other or closer together. This achieves the matching of top and bottom covers of different sizes for material feeding and covering molding operations. All three transverse drive assemblies are formed by a combination of servo motors, lead screws and nut sleeves, which makes the mounting plate displacement accuracy high and facilitates automated coordination through molding control.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 A box forming machine includes a frame 1, on which a clamping and lifting drive mechanism 2 is provided for clamping and lifting a top and bottom cover 100. Along the drive path of the clamping and lifting drive mechanism 2, the frame 1 is sequentially equipped with an automatic feeding mechanism 3 for loading the top and bottom cover 100 onto the clamping and lifting drive mechanism 2; a first forming mechanism 4 for attaching packaging paper 200 to the left side plate 103 and the right side plate 104; and a second forming mechanism 5 for attaching packaging paper 200 to the front side plate 101 and the right side plate 104 of the top and bottom cover 100. The bottom plate of the top and bottom cover 100 is pre-attached to the bottom sheet 201 of the packaging paper 200. The automatic feeding mechanism 3 then loads the pre-attached top and bottom cover 100 onto the clamping and lifting drive mechanism 2. This facilitates the automatic flow of products on the production line and improves production efficiency. The automated process reduces manual material handling and improves production efficiency. A lifting drive mechanism moves the top and bottom covers 100 of the pre-applied packaging paper 200 to the first forming mechanism 4 and the second forming mechanism 5. The first forming mechanism 4 applies the packaging paper 200 to the left side plate 103 and the right side plate 104, and the second forming mechanism 5 applies it to the top and bottom covers 100, completely covering the packaging paper 200. This machine replaces manual labor in covering the top and bottom covers 100, reducing manual operations and labor costs. The machine also boasts high error prevention, minimizing mistakes and ensuring the quality of the packaging paper application. Furthermore, the machine has high fatigue resistance and strong continuous working capacity, resulting in high efficiency in mass production.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 The frame 1 includes a bottom support frame 11, and a bottom support plate 12 is provided on the top of the bottom support frame 11. Two first fixing plates 13 are arranged at intervals on opposite sides of the top surface of the bottom support plate 12. Two second fixing plates 14 are arranged at intervals on the other opposite sides of the top surface of the bottom support plate 12. The height of the second fixing plates 14 is lower than the height of the first fixing plates 13. The two first fixing plates 13 on one side of the bottom support plate 12 are aligned with the two first fixing plates 13 on the opposite side, and the top ends of the two aligned first fixing plates 13 are connected to a top support plate 15.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clamping and lifting drive mechanism 2 includes an upper mold lifting drive assembly 21 and a lower mold lifting drive assembly 22. The upper mold lifting drive assembly 21 is located at the top of the frame 1 and is driven by an upper mold 23 whose size and shape match the internal shape and size of the top and bottom cover 100. Specifically, the upper mold 23 drive assembly includes a motor mounting base 211, a first servo motor 212, a movable plate 213, a second servo motor 214, a first lead screw 215, and a pull rail 216. The motor mounting base 211 is fixed to the top surface of a top support plate 15. The motor mounting base 211 is provided with a sliding groove and is vertically arranged in the sliding groove to mount the motor. The mounting base 211 is movably connected. A first servo motor 212 is fixed to the mounting base and located on the back of the movable plate 213. A rack 2131 (not shown in the figure) extending along the length of the movable plate 213 is provided on the back of the movable plate 213. The drive shaft of the first servo motor 212 is equipped with a gear 2121 that meshes with the rack 2131. The first servo motor 212 drives the gear 2121 to rotate in both directions, thereby driving the rack 2131 to rise and fall, thus raising and lowering the movable plate 213. A second servo motor 214 is fixedly mounted on the front of the movable plate 213 with its drive shaft facing downwards. The first lead screw... The first lead screw 215 is vertically arranged, and a bearing seat 2132 is provided at the bottom of the front of the movable plate 213. The bottom end of the first lead screw 215 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 2132 via a bearing. The top end of the first lead screw 215 is connected to the drive shaft of the second servo motor 214. The first lead screw 215 is a one-way threaded lead screw. The body of the first lead screw 215 is provided with a first nut sleeve 2151. There are two pull rails 216, which are vertically arranged and respectively arranged on opposite sides of the first lead screw 215. The top ends of the two pull rails 216 are connected and fixed to the first nut sleeve 2151. The bottom ends of the two pull rails 216 are connected to the upper mold 23. The upper mold 23 is fixed in place. The first nut sleeve 2151 is driven to rise and fall by the forward and reverse rotation of the lead screw driven by the second servo motor 214, which in turn drives the pull rail 216 and the upper mold 23 to rise and fall. The combination of gear 2121 and rack 2131 driven by the first servo motor 212 forms the first lifting stroke of the upper mold 23. The combination of the first lead screw 215 and the first nut sleeve 2151 driven by the second servo motor 214 forms the second lifting stroke of the upper mold 23. The upper mold 23 has two lifting strokes, which makes its stroke displacement relatively long. Each stroke is driven separately, which makes the movement efficiency high. In addition, the lead screw drive makes the movement of the upper mold 23 precise.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The lower mold lifting drive assembly 22 is located at the bottom of the frame 1, and its drive connection is used to support the lower mold 24, which is placed with the opening of the top and bottom cover 100 facing upwards. The size of the lower mold 24 is smaller than the size of the bottom plate of the top and bottom cover 100. The lower mold lifting drive assembly 22 includes a lifting cylinder 221 and a cylinder mounting base 222. The cylinder mounting base 222 is fixed on the bottom support plate 12. The lifting cylinder 221 is vertically arranged on the cylinder mounting base 222 and its extension axis is arranged upwards. The extension axis of the lifting cylinder 221 is connected and fixed to the lower mold 24, and the upper mold 23 and the lower mold 24 are vertically aligned. Position setting: The lifting cylinder 221 controls the intake and exhaust through an electronically controlled valve to adjust the movement of the telescopic shaft, thereby controlling the movement stroke of the lower mold 24 and the upper mold 23 to move in tandem. The automatic loading mechanism loads the top and bottom covers 100, which are located outside the frame 1, onto the lower mold. The upper mold 23 lifting drive mechanism drives the upper mold 23 to descend and enter the groove of the top and bottom covers 100 to clamp the top and bottom covers 100. Furthermore, the upper mold lifting drive assembly 21 and the lower mold drive assembly drive the upper mold 23 and the lower mold to lift and lower synchronously, thereby driving the top and bottom covers 100 to lift and lower.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The automatic feeding mechanism 3 includes two first mounting plates 31 arranged horizontally on opposite sides of a movable plate 213, and a first transverse drive assembly 32 for connecting the two first mounting plates 31 and driving them to move away from or towards each other.

Each of the two first mounting plates 31 has a first slide rail 311 extending along its length on its facing side, and a first slider 312 slidably mounted on the first slide rail 311. The first slider 312 is connected to a second mounting plate 33, and each first mounting plate 31 is also equipped with a second transverse drive assembly 313 for driving the second mounting plate 33 to reciprocate along the length of the first slide rail 311.

In the structure of the above-mentioned automatic feeding component, the bottom sheet 201 of the packaging paper 200 is first pre-attached to the bottom plate of the top and bottom cover 100. By placing the top and bottom cover 100 with the pre-attached packaging paper 200 on one side outside the frame 1, the first transverse drive component 32 drives the two first mounting plates 31 to move towards each other so that the distance between the two first mounting plates 31 matches the size of the top and bottom cover 100. Then, the second transverse drive component 313 drives the second mounting plate 33 to move out of the frame 1, thereby moving the third mounting plate 34 out of the frame 1, so that the two third mounting plates 34 are respectively aligned with the front side plate 101 and the rear side plate 102 of the top and bottom cover 100, and the two clamping blocks on the third mounting plate 34 are engaged. The clamping blocks 35 are aligned with the left side plate 103 and right side plate 104 of the top and bottom cover 100. The two clamping blocks 35 are brought closer together by the third transverse drive assembly 343 to clamp and fix the top and bottom cover 100. The second mounting plate 33 is moved to the other side of the frame 1 by the second transverse drive assembly 313 so that the top and bottom cover 100 is grabbed and moved above the alignment lower mold. The third mounting plate 34 is lowered by the mounting plate lifting drive assembly 333 to lower the clamping blocks 35 and place the top and bottom cover 100 on the lower mold. The clamping blocks 35 are released by the third transverse drive assembly 343 to move away from each other, so that the top and bottom cover 100 is loaded into the clamping lifting drive mechanism 2.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The operating principle of the first forming mechanism 4 is as follows: During the process of the top and bottom cover 100, pre-attached with packaging paper 200, being driven downwards by the clamping and lifting drive mechanism 2, the two first rotating rollers 432 respectively roll upwards from the bottom of the packaging paper 200 onto the left side sheet 204 and right side sheet 205 of the packaging paper 200, thus rolling and attaching the left side sheet 204 and right side sheet 205 to the outer surfaces of the left side plate 103 and right side plate 104 of the top and bottom cover 100. Then, the clamping and lifting drive mechanism 2 drives the top surface of the top and bottom cover 100 downwards. The bending pieces are lowered to the position of the alignment bending pieces, and the side plates of the top and bottom covers 100 are aligned with the pressure plates. A cylinder drives the two pressure plates to move closer together to fix the top and bottom covers 100. The upper mold lifting drive assembly 21 drives the upper mold 23 to rise, causing the upper mold 23 to detach from the top and bottom covers 100 to avoid obstruction. The bending pieces are driven by the cylinder, causing the two first bending pieces to move towards each other. The two first bending pieces respectively press against the left inner flap 2041 at the top of the left piece 204 and the right inner flap 2051 at the top of the right piece 205, causing the left inner flap 2041 and the right inner flap 2051 to bend at 90° and respectively adhere to the upper mold. The upper edge of the left side plate 103 and the upper edge of the right side plate 104 of the top and bottom cover 100 are joined together. Then, the upper mold 23 is driven to descend by the upper mold lifting drive assembly 21, so that the upper mold 23 presses the left inner flap 2041 and the right inner flap 2051 against the inner side of the left side plate 103 and the right side plate 104 of the top and bottom cover 100 respectively. The second forming mechanism 5 attaches the front side piece 202 and the rear side piece 203 of the packaging paper 200 to the outer side of the front side plate 101 and the rear side plate 102 of the top and bottom cover 100 respectively, and attaches the front inner flap 2021 and the rear inner flap 2031 of the packaging paper 200 respectively. The inner sides of the front side plate 101 and rear side plate 102 attached to the top and bottom cover 100 have the same structure and principle as the first forming mechanism 4. The first forming mechanism 4 attaches the right front corner piece 2052 and right rear corner piece 2053 of the packaging paper 200 to the outer sides of the front side plate 101 and rear side plate 102 respectively, and attaches the left front corner piece 2042 and left rear corner piece 2043 (not shown in the figure) to the outer sides of the front side plate 101 and rear side plate 102 respectively to wrap the corners. This is achieved by the four fifth cylinders 48 on the bottom side of the two fourth mounting plates 41 driving the pressure blocks 49 to press and adhere accordingly.
