Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cardboard box processing technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency cardboard box folding device for cardboard box processing. Background Technology
[0002] Cardboard boxes are commonly used as wrapping materials for goods or as protective outer layers for items. As an indispensable part of modern logistics, cardboard boxes bear the important responsibility of containing and protecting products while maintaining their appearance. After being manufactured to the required dimensions, cardboard boxes need to be folded. A search revealed a patent document with authorization announcement number CN222495615U, which discloses a high-efficiency cardboard box folding device for cardboard box processing. The device includes a support rod with a folding platform fixedly connected to its top. A rotating folding mechanism is located on the top of the folding platform, and a pressing mechanism is located at the back end of the platform. The rotating folding mechanism includes a rotating component and a folding component. The rotating component is located in the middle of the top of the folding platform and on the front of the top of the platform. The rotating component includes a first motor fixedly connected to the top of the folding platform, and a first worm gear fixedly connected to its back end. A first worm wheel meshes with the left side of the first worm gear. When the cardboard box needs to be rotated, the pressing plate presses the box, activating the first motor. This causes the first motor to drive the first worm wheel to rotate via the first worm gear, which in turn drives the rotating plate to rotate via a linkage rod, thus rotating the cardboard box.
[0003] The above solution still has at least the following shortcomings in actual operation: when the carton is placed on the turntable for folding, it can only be folded in one direction, either the top or the bottom of the carton. It cannot achieve the function of folding the top and bottom of the carton at the same time, which reduces the folding efficiency of the carton.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a high-efficiency carton folding device for carton processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] See Figures 1-5 This application provides a high-efficiency carton folding device for carton processing, including a machine base 1. Two vertical plates 2 are fixedly installed on the top of the machine base 1. The same circular seat 3 is rotatably mounted on the two vertical plates 2. A carton placement cavity 4 is opened on one side of the circular seat 3, providing space for placing the carton. A clamping assembly is provided inside the carton placement cavity 4 for clamping and fixing the carton. The clamping assembly includes four electric push rods 5 and four clamping plates 6. The four electric push rods 5 are respectively fixedly installed on the inner walls of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the carton placement cavity 4. The four clamping plates 6 are respectively fixedly installed on the output shaft ends of the corresponding electric push rods 5. The clamping assembly can clamp and fix the carton from the outer walls of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the carton through the four electric push rods 5 and the four clamping plates 6. This all-round clamping method can ensure that the carton maintains a stable position during the folding process, avoiding inaccurate folding due to positional displacement, improving the accuracy and quality of carton folding, and also providing a basis for efficient folding, reducing the risk of carton displacement. To address the time wasted by readjusting the carton position after it falls, the machine 1 is equipped with a drive assembly to control the rotation of the circular base 3. The drive assembly includes an external gear ring 7, a motor 8, a drive shaft 9, and a gear 10. The external gear ring 7 is fixedly mounted on the outer circular wall of the circular base 3 and located between the two vertical plates 2. The motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the machine 1, and the drive shaft 9 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft end of the motor 8. The gear 10 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the drive shaft 9 and located between the two vertical plates 2. The gear 10 meshes with the external gear ring 7. The drive assembly uses the motor 8 to drive the drive shaft 9 and the gear 10 to rotate, meshing with the external gear ring 7 fixed on the outer circular wall of the circular base, thereby controlling the rotation of the circular base 3. This allows the clamped and fixed carton to rotate with the circular base 3. The motor 8 provides a stable and adjustable power output, which can accurately control the rotation angle and speed of the circular base 3, making the switching between different folding parts of the carton more precise and efficient, and meeting the requirements of different folding parts for changing the position of the carton.
[0025] In this embodiment, one of the two vertical plates 2 has a mounting hole on one side, and the drive shaft 9 is rotatably mounted in the mounting hole through a bearing, which can ensure that the drive shaft 9 rotates smoothly.
[0026] In this embodiment, a carton folding mechanism 11 is provided at the top of the vertical plate 2. The carton folding mechanism 11 is used to fold and process cartons. The carton folding mechanism 11 includes a crossbeam 1101, two connecting plates 1102, a bidirectional lead screw 1103, two moving seats 1104, two electric push rods 1105, two mounting seats 1106, two electric push rods 1107, two folding plates 1108, and a motor 1109. The crossbeam 1101 is fixedly installed at the top of the two vertical plates 2, and the two connecting plates 1102 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the crossbeam 1101. The screw 1103 is rotatably mounted between two connecting plates 1102. Two movable seats 1104 are threaded onto the bidirectional screw 1103 and are symmetrically distributed. Two electric actuators 1105 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of their respective movable seats 1104. Two mounting seats 1106 are fixedly mounted on the output shaft ends of their respective electric actuators 1105. Two electric actuators 1107 are fixedly mounted on their respective mounting seats 1106. Two folding plates 1108 are fixedly mounted on the output shaft ends of their respective electric actuators 1107. A circular seat 3... Located between two folding plates 1108, motor 2 1109 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of one of the connecting plates 1102. The output shaft of motor 2 1109 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 1103. The crossbeam 1101 and the two connecting plates 1102 in the carton folding mechanism 11 form a stable support structure. Motor 2 1109 drives the bidirectional lead screw 1103 to rotate, causing the two moving seats 1104 to move symmetrically on the bidirectional lead screw 1103, thereby driving the electric push rod 2 1105, the mounting seat 1106, the electric push rod 3 1107, and the... The folding board 1108 moves in two ways. On the one hand, the distance between the two folding boards 1108 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the carton through the threaded connection between the two-way lead screw 1103 and the moving seat 1104, so as to meet the folding requirements of different carton sizes. On the other hand, the electric actuator 1105 can control the height of the folding board 1108, and the electric actuator 1107 can control the horizontal linear movement of the folding board. The combination of multiple adjustment methods greatly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the folding mechanism, and can fold the top and bottom of the carton at the same time, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0027] In this embodiment, guide rods 1110 are fixedly installed on the sides of the two connecting plates 1102 that are close to each other. The ends of the two guide rods 1110 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the sides of the two vertical plates 2 that are far from each other. The two movable seats 1104 are slidably sleeved on the corresponding guide rods 1110. The setting of the guide rods 1110 provides stable guidance for the movable seats 1104 during the sliding process, avoiding shaking or deviation of the movable seats 1104 during the movement, ensuring the smooth movement of the folding cardboard 1108, and further improving the accuracy of the carton folding.
[0028] In this embodiment, clearance holes are provided on one side of both vertical plates 2, and the bidirectional lead screw 1103 passes through the two clearance holes. The clearance holes provide space for the installation and rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 1103, ensuring that the bidirectional lead screw 1103 rotates smoothly.
[0029] In this embodiment, it should be noted that electric actuator 5, motor 8, electric actuator 2 1105, electric actuator 3 1107 and motor 2 1109 can all be purchased on the market. Motor 8 and motor 2 1109 are both reversible motors. Their wiring connection and control methods are mature technologies in the field and will be fully disclosed. Therefore, they will not be described in detail here.
[0030] With the above structure, the working principle of the high-efficiency carton folding device for carton processing provided in this application is as follows:
[0031] First, place the cardboard box horizontally into the cardboard box placement cavity 4, so that the top opening and the bottom opening of the cardboard box that need to be folded are located on both sides of the circular base 3. Start the four electric push rods 5 to extend and run, which can push the clamping plates 6 from the front, back, left and right sides. The four clamping plates 6 can firmly fix the cardboard box and ensure that the cardboard box will not shift during the subsequent folding process.
[0032] Next, the second motor 1109 is started to rotate forward. Its output shaft drives the bidirectional lead screw 1103 to rotate forward. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 1103 causes the two moving seats 1104 to move towards each other simultaneously, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two folding cardboard pieces 1108 to fit the width dimensions of the top and bottom of the carton. At the same time, the two electric actuators 1105 are controlled to extend and adjust the vertical position of the folding cardboard pieces 1108 according to the height of the carton, ensuring that the folding cardboard pieces 1108 can accurately align with the top and bottom of the carton. At the bottom part that needs to be folded, control the two electric push rods 1107 to extend and move, pushing the folding plate 1108 towards the carton. At this time, the two folding plates 1108 fold the top and bottom of the carton simultaneously. After the folding of this part of the carton is completed, control the two electric push rods 1105 and 1107 to retract and reset, and control the motor 1109 to rotate in the opposite direction, which will cause the two moving seats 1104 to return to their original positions in a direction away from each other, and the two folding plates 1108 will also return to their original positions.
[0033] Then, control the motor 8 to rotate forward or reverse, drive the drive shaft 9 to rotate, and then make the gear 10 fixed on the drive shaft 9 rotate. By using the meshing transmission between the gear 10 and the external gear ring 7, the circular seat 3 is rotated. The carton clamped and fixed in the carton placement cavity 4 will rotate with the circular seat 3. By precisely controlling the speed and direction of the motor 8, the carton is adjusted to a suitable angle (so that the other folded part of the carton is facing upward). Then, following the above operation steps, the other side of the top and the other side of the bottom of the carton can be folded simultaneously until the folding task of the entire top and bottom of the carton is completed.
[0034] Once the top four sides and bottom four sides of the cardboard box are folded, the folding of the cardboard box is complete. Then, control the four electric push rods to retract and reset, and the folded cardboard box can be removed. Follow the above steps to fold the next cardboard box.
