Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper box production equipment technology, and specifically to an automated folding box machine. Background Technology
[0002] There are many existing cardboard box structures. However, because cardboard boxes are three-dimensional, they take up a lot of space during transportation, so not many cardboard boxes can be placed in a unit volume. Therefore, they are inconvenient to transport and will increase transportation costs.
[0003] Therefore, based on the aforementioned shortcomings of existing cardboard boxes, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated folding box machine to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. This automated folding box machine solves the defects of existing paper boxes, such as large space occupation and inconvenient transportation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.
[0006] An automated folding box machine includes a cardboard feeding section, a first glue spraying section, a small reinforcing plate bonding section, a first folding section, a second glue spraying and folding section, a turning section, a large reinforcing plate feeding section, a third glue spraying section, and a third folding section, all mounted on a frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the small reinforcing plate bonding part includes a small reinforcing plate material rack and a small reinforcing plate bonding mechanism. The small reinforcing plate material rack is inclined for feeding and bonding the small reinforcing plates.
[0008] Furthermore, the first glue spraying part includes a first glue spraying mechanism, which includes a glue spraying bracket installed above the frame. A glue spraying slide rail is horizontally arranged on the glue spraying bracket, and a glue spraying component is slidably mounted on the glue spraying slide rail to achieve glue spraying for pasting small reinforcing plates.
[0009] Furthermore, the small reinforcing plate attaching mechanism includes a side mounting plate, which is mounted on the side of the frame. A first motor is mounted on the side of the side mounting plate, and a suction nozzle slide rail is mounted on the top surface. The first motor drives a rotating shaft, which drives a belt. The belt fixes a suction nozzle seat, which slides on the suction nozzle slide rail. A second motor is mounted on the suction nozzle seat, which drives a rotating rod. The rotating rod fixes a suction nozzle fixing plate, and a cylinder is mounted on the suction nozzle fixing plate. The cylinder drives a suction nozzle to pick up the small reinforcing plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the second adhesive spraying and folding section includes an adhesive spraying mechanism and a folding mechanism to achieve the second folding.
[0011] Furthermore, the large reinforcing plate feeding section includes an inclined large reinforcing plate rack, and a clamping mechanism moving track is provided below the large reinforcing plate feeding section. A clamping mechanism is movably arranged in the clamping mechanism moving track and clamps the large reinforcing plate and cardboard.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer side of the third folded edge portion is provided with a folding mechanism, and the middle has a clamp mechanism moving track. The clamp mechanism is moved and arranged within the clamp mechanism moving track. After the clamp mechanism clamps the large reinforcing plate and the cardboard, the third fold is achieved.
[0013] Furthermore, a ring slide rail fixing plate is vertically installed below the frame. A third motor is installed on the side of the ring slide rail fixing plate. A ring slide rail is installed on the outer side of the ring slide rail fixing plate, and a ring chain is installed on the inner side. The third motor drives a sprocket, which drives the ring chain. Multiple clamping mechanisms are installed on the ring chain, and the clamping mechanisms move along the ring slide rail. A roller mating plate is installed on the ring slide rail fixing plate. The outer side of the roller mating plate has a slope. After the clamping mechanisms pass through the slope position, they change their opening and closing state. The clamping mechanisms are moved by the control of the third motor.
[0014] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping body, a first clamping arm fixedly mounted on the clamping body, a movable second clamping arm cooperating with the first clamping arm, a fixing block provided next to the clamping body, a roller pivotally mounted on the fixing block, a connecting rod connected between the lower part of the fixing plate and the second clamping arm, limit blocks respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the clamping body, the connecting rod passing through the limit blocks, a protrusion on the connecting rod, a spring sleeved on the connecting rod, and the spring located between the protrusion and the lower limit block.
[0015] Furthermore, the roller of the clamping mechanism makes movable contact with the outer edge of the roller mating plate, and the height position of the roller is changed by squeezing through the outer edge of the roller mating plate, thereby changing the opening and closing state of the clamping mechanism.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it enables paperboard feeding and the pasting of small and large reinforcing plates; at the same time, it enables the side folding of the box body, which can be unfolded simply when in use, resulting in a flat shape that occupies very little three-dimensional space, allowing more products to be loaded in a unit space, thus facilitating transportation and reducing transportation costs.

Then, pull the second side 03 outwards from the side. At this time, pull the first connecting part 06 up through the second connecting part 07. Fold the first connecting part 06 inwards along the fold line of the first connecting part 06 to make the second side 03 vertical. Bend the fourth side 05 vertically and then press the third side 04 inwards so that the front and rear ends of the large reinforcing plate 09 are close to the fourth side 05, and press the first connecting part 06 and the second connecting part 07. At the same time, press the middle part of the large reinforcing plate 09 into contact with the cardboard 01, thus completing the three-dimensional forming of the cardboard box.
