Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cartoning machine technology, and in particular to a box internal structure folding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Cartoning machines generally refer to mechanical equipment used to automatically or semi-automatically pack products into boxes or packaging cartons. The name "cartoning machine" means to open the box, put the contents into the box, and then fold and seal the box. Currently, most cartoning machines on the market simply fold the outer box flaps and tabs, and it is difficult to automatically fold the internal box mechanism.
[0003] Special mechanisms inside boxes are also frequently needed, and therefore, the internal mechanisms of boxes are basically folded manually. Manual folding is inefficient and difficult to manage. Increasing the number of people can improve efficiency, but it also generates more labor and management costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the technical problems in existing patents where the internal structure of the box is basically manually folded, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in managing personnel, and where increasing the number of people to improve efficiency also leads to higher labor and management costs, this utility model provides a box internal structure folding mechanism.

[0010] A flip-up pre-folding inner card mechanism is installed on one side of the second pre-folding inner card mechanism. The flip-up pre-folding inner card mechanism is used to flip the pre-folded inner card to the correct direction.
[0011] An inner card forming mechanism is installed on the top of the frame mechanism and is used to form the inner card.
[0012] An inner card straightening mechanism is installed on one side of the inner card forming structure and is used to straighten the inner card.
[0013] An in-box guiding mechanism is installed at the top of the middle section of the frame mechanism and is used to guide products inside the box.
[0014] A pushing mechanism is installed on the top of the moving platform of the frame mechanism, and the pushing mechanism is used to push the product into the box;
[0015] Tail frame mechanism, which is installed at the top end of the frame mechanism, is used to carry the product to be loaded;
[0016] A folding tongue mechanism is installed at the end of the frame mechanism. The folding tongue mechanism is used to fold the box flap to complete the sealing action.
[0017] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided on the top of the support, and the lower box mechanism is bolted to one side of the top of the mounting base.

[0039] The box-down mechanism 2 is installed on the top of one end of the frame mechanism 1. The box-down mechanism 2 is used to ensure smooth box supply.
[0040] The ear-supporting mechanism 3 is installed on one side of the lower box mechanism 2, and the ear-supporting mechanism 3 is used to open the ear part of the box.
[0041] The pre-folding inner card group 4 includes a first pre-folding inner card mechanism 401 and a second pre-folding inner card mechanism 402 installed on the top of the frame mechanism 1. The pre-folding inner card group 4 is used to complete the first and second pre-folding actions of the inner card.
[0042] The flip-and-fold inner card mechanism 5 is installed on one side of the second pre-fold inner card mechanism 402. The flip-and-fold inner card mechanism 5 is used to flip the pre-folded inner card to the correct direction.
[0043] The inner card forming mechanism 6 is installed on the top of the frame mechanism 1, and the inner card forming mechanism 6 is used to form the inner card;
[0044] The inner card straightening mechanism 7 is installed on one side of the inner card forming structure and is used to straighten the inner card.
[0045] The box guide mechanism 8 is installed at the top of the middle end of the frame mechanism 1. The box guide mechanism 8 is used to guide the product inside the box.
[0046] The pushing mechanism 9 is installed on the top of the moving platform of the frame mechanism 1. The pushing mechanism 9 is used to push the product into the box.
[0047] Tail frame mechanism 10 is installed at the top end of frame mechanism 1, and tail frame mechanism 10 is used to carry the product to be loaded.
[0048] The folding tongue mechanism 11 is installed at the end of the frame mechanism 1. The folding tongue mechanism 11 is used to fold the box flap to complete the sealing action.
[0049] Furthermore, a mounting base is installed on the top of the support part 101, the lower box mechanism 2 is installed on one side of the top of the mounting base by bolts, and the support lug mechanism 3 is installed on the top of the support part 101 by slide rails and connectors.
[0050] Furthermore, the first pre-folding inner card mechanism 401 is installed on one side of the support ear mechanism 3, and the second pre-folding inner card mechanism 402 is installed on one side of the first pre-folding inner card mechanism 401.
[0051] Furthermore, both the inner card forming mechanism 6 and the inner card straightening mechanism 7 are mounted on one side of the flipping pre-folding inner card mechanism 5 via mounting plates.
[0052] Furthermore, the control box mechanism 103 is mounted on the top of the mounting part 102 via a bracket, and the control box mechanism 103 is equipped with a PLC module and a drive module.
[0053] Working principle: During use, the operator places the unformed box on the box frame mechanism and arranges the products to be boxed neatly on the tail frame mechanism 10. The equipment is started through the control box mechanism 103 to perform system self-check. The box unloading mechanism 2 removes the box from the box frame and places it in the working position. The ear support mechanism 3 opens the two sides of the box. The first pre-folding inner card mechanism 401 and the second pre-folding inner card mechanism 402 complete the first and second steps of inner card pre-folding in sequence. The flipping inner card mechanism performs the inner card folding action. At the same time, if the flipping pre-folding inner card mechanism 5 is not reset, the inner card forming mechanism 6 ensures that the inner card is formed in place. After the inner card forming is completed, the inner card straightening mechanism 7 corrects the position of the inner card.
[0054] Previously, the tailstock mechanism 10 operated simultaneously, with the contents of the box on the tailstock. Following the steps of the box, the corresponding product in the tailstock corresponds to each box. The internal clamping and straightening mechanism 7 remained in the state, while the box guiding mechanism 8 operated simultaneously. The box guiding mechanism 8 guided the product into the path, and the pushing mechanism 9 pushed the product on the tailstock into the box. The tailstock mechanism 10 kept synchronized with the box movement to ensure accurate product correspondence. The equipment transported the box to the folding tongue station, where the folding tongue mechanism 11 completed the folding and insertion of the box's tongue. The finished product was output to the designated position, and the work ended.
[0055] By coordinating the work of the frame mechanism 1, control box mechanism 103, box lowering mechanism 2, ear support mechanism 3, first pre-folding inner card mechanism 401, second pre-folding inner card mechanism 402, flipping pre-folding inner card mechanism 5, inner card forming mechanism 6, inner card straightening mechanism 7, box inner guiding mechanism 8, material pushing mechanism 9, tail frame mechanism 10, and tongue folding mechanism 11, a series of complex processes from the box supply point are automated, including box lowering, ear support, pre-folding inner card, flipping, forming, straightening, guiding, material pushing, tail frame, and tongue folding. This significantly improves production efficiency and packaging quality. Compared with the slow speed of traditional manual box packing, it can greatly increase production capacity, reduce labor costs, and improve work efficiency.
