Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging paper boxes, and in particular to a folding mechanism for liquor packaging paper boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Packaging paper boxes refer to packaging containers made primarily of paper materials such as linerboard and corrugated cardboard. They include types such as cartons, paper cups, and paper boxes. These materials can be combined with other raw materials and are widely used in product protection, transportation, and sales. They are characterized by being lightweight, easy to print, and low in cost.

[0003] The folding mechanism for liquor packaging boxes is the core device used to automatically fold the boxes.

[0004] The existing folding mechanism for liquor packaging boxes has the following shortcomings:

[0005] Baijiu packaging requires cardboard boxes for protection and sealing, and the folding of these boxes is a crucial step that needs to be completed using a folding mechanism. However, in current technology, most folding relies on manual operation of each side, which limits both quality stability and production efficiency due to human factors. When folding manually, it is difficult to control the force and angle consistently, which can easily cause problems such as crease deviations and misaligned seams, directly affecting the packaging's aesthetics and sealing performance. At the same time, the inefficient method of folding each side cannot meet the needs of modern mass production, especially in large-scale scenarios where the contradiction between high labor costs and production capacity bottlenecks becomes prominent. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention avoids crease deviations and seam misalignments caused by uneven manual force and angle, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a folding mechanism for a liquor packaging box, comprising a folding assembly, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to a support mechanism; the folding assembly includes a placement plate, the inner wall of which is rotatably connected to a set of rotating rods, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to a set of movable plates, a servo motor fixedly installed on the front of the placement plate at the position of the rotating rods, a bracket fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate, an electric push rod fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bracket, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the shaft end of the electric push rod, a set of fixed plates fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate, and a set of movable rods slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plates. Through the above components, automated right-angle folding can be achieved, which is more precise and efficient than manual operation.

[0008] Preferably, the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod, so that the servo motor can drive the rotating rod to rotate, so that the subsequent right-angle folding operation can be carried out normally.

[0009] Preferably, a set of springs is sleeved on the outer wall of the movable rod, and a set of anti-slip pads is fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the movable rod. The anti-slip pads can increase the friction with the cardboard blank and prevent it from shifting during operation.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the anti-slip pad, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate, so that both ends of the spring are connected and can be used normally in the future.

[0011] Preferably, a set of limiting rods is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, and the outer wall of the limiting rods is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bracket. By setting the limiting rods, the stability of the connecting plate during up and down movement is improved.

[0012] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a base, and the bottom of the base is fixedly connected to support legs, and the bottom of the support legs is fixedly connected to rubber pads. By setting support legs and rubber pads, the overall stability during use can be improved.

[0013] Preferably, a PLC controller is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base, and a storage box is fixedly connected to the top of the base. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the components to control the opening and closing of the components, thereby improving the overall efficiency. The storage box makes it convenient for users to store cardboard box blanks.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the rotating rod and movable plate driven by the servo motor can realize the automatic right-angle folding of the two sides of the cardboard. Compared with manual folding, it is more precise and has a smaller angle control error. It avoids problems such as crease deviation and seam misalignment caused by uneven manual force and angle. At the same time, it is suitable for the needs of large-scale production, reduces manual intervention, significantly improves folding efficiency, and can match the pace of modern mass production. The setting of the box makes it easy to store cardboard box blanks, optimizes the feeding process, reduces manual picking and placing time, and improves production continuity.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the connecting plate, the fixed plate and the movable rod are driven by the electric push rod. With the buffering effect of the spring, the anti-slip pad is pressed against the cardboard box blank with appropriate pressure. The anti-slip pad is made of soft material with high friction, which can increase the gripping force, prevent slippage and displacement during folding, avoid damage to the surface of the cardboard box, and improve the stability and safety of the folding process.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a folding mechanism for a liquor packaging box, including a folding component 1, with a support mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the folding component 1; the folding component 1 includes a placement plate 101, a set of rotating rods 103 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the placement plate 101, a set of movable plates 102 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rods 103, a servo motor 105 fixedly installed on the front of the placement plate 101 at the position of the rotating rods 103, a bracket 104 fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate 101, an electric push rod 106 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bracket 104, a connecting plate 112 fixedly connected to the shaft end of the electric push rod 106, a set of fixed plates 108 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 112, and a set of movable rods 110 slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 108. Through the above components, automated right-angle folding can be achieved, which is more precise and efficient than manual operation.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, the output end of the servo motor 105 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 103, so that the servo motor 105 can drive the rotating rod 103 to rotate, so that the subsequent right-angle folding operation can be carried out normally.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, a set of springs 111 are sleeved on the outer wall of the movable rod 110, and a set of anti-slip pads 109 are fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the movable rod 110. The anti-slip pads 109 can increase the friction with the cardboard blank and prevent it from shifting during operation.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the spring 111 is fixedly connected to the top of the anti-slip pad 109, and the other end of the spring 111 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 108, so that both ends of the spring 111 are connected and can be used normally in the future.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a set of limiting rods 107 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 112. The outer wall of the limiting rods 107 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bracket 104. The stability of the connecting plate 112 during vertical movement is improved by setting the limiting rods 107.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the support mechanism 2 includes a base 201, and each base 201 has a support leg 203 fixedly connected to its bottom. Each support leg 203 has a rubber pad 204 fixedly connected to its bottom. By using the support legs 203 and the rubber pad 204, the overall stability during use can be improved.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, a PLC controller 205 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base 201, and a placement box 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 201. The PLC controller 205 is electrically connected to the components to control the opening and closing of the components and improve the overall efficiency. The placement box 202 makes it convenient for users to store cardboard box blanks.

[0031] The operating method and working principle of this device are as follows: The flat cardboard box blank is laid flat on the placement plate 101. The operator issues a command through the control panel of the PLC controller 205, causing the electric push rod 106 to extend and push the connecting plate 112 downwards. This causes the fixed plate 108, spring 111, movable rod 110, and anti-slip pad 109 to simultaneously press against the cardboard surface. The anti-slip pad 109 is made of a flexible material with a high coefficient of friction. After contacting the top of the cardboard box blank, the spring 111 on the outer wall of the movable rod 110 buffers the force, thus stabilizing and fixing the blank, preventing displacement during subsequent folding, and preventing damage to the cardboard surface from hard compression. After fixing, the servo motor 105 starts, driving the rotating rod 103 to rotate the movable plate 102 from a horizontal position to a vertical position. At 0 degrees, the smooth inner surface of the movable plate 102 pushes the two sides of the cardboard upwards simultaneously, forming a right-angle crease. After folding, the electric push rod 106 retracts, causing the anti-slip pad 109 to rise. The movable plate 102 rotates in the opposite direction with the servo motor 105 and falls back to the initial position, completing a single cycle operation. Through the preset program of the PLC controller 205, the action sequence of the servo motor 105 and the electric push rod 106 can be precisely coordinated. For cardboard blanks that need to be folded front and back, the operator only needs to manually rotate the blank to adjust its position, and repeat the above process to complete multi-sided folding. It is suitable for folding the two sides or the front and back uprights of a rectangular cardboard box. The whole process has a high degree of automation, which can significantly reduce manual intervention. It also has high folding accuracy and strong stability, and is suitable for large-scale production needs.

[0032] The servo motor 105, electric actuator 106, and PLC controller 205 used in this application are all common equipment on the market and are well known to those skilled in the art. In this application, the above equipment is used in a conventional manner without any improvement to its structure and function. As for their settings, installation, and electrical connection methods, those skilled in the art can debug and operate them according to the corresponding product instruction manuals, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
