[0002] Corrugated boxes are packaging containers made of corrugated cardboard through processes such as die-cutting, creasing, stapling, or gluing. They are widely used in the transportation, storage, and sales of goods.
[0003] In the production of corrugated cardboard boxes, the boxes are usually first cut into the required shape using a cutting device, and then folded to shape them, which makes it easier to fold the corrugated cardboard boxes into the shape of a box later. However, some cardboard is too dry, and its folding endurance drops sharply. Problems such as bursting lines are easily generated when folding the edges, which seriously affects the quality and pass rate of the cardboard box forming.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a corrugated cardboard box folding and shaping device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the technical problem that excessively dry cardboard leads to a sharp decrease in folding endurance and the tendency for cracks to form during folding, this utility model provides a corrugated cardboard box folding and shaping device.

The outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outlet end of the suction pump, and the outlet end of the outlet pipe extends into the mounting frame. Multiple atomizing nozzles are all located on the outlet end of the outlet pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the folded edge plate has a mounting groove, and a heating plate is fixedly installed in the mounting groove.
[0010] Preferably, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the mounting frame, and the output rod of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the limiting plate.
[0011] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench, a guide groove is provided on one side of the threaded cylinder, and one end of the guide rod is slidably connected to the guide groove.
[0012] Preferably, the workbench has an opening for the threaded cylinder and the support rod to move.
[0013] Compared with related technologies, the corrugated cardboard box folding and shaping device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This utility model provides a corrugated cardboard box folding and shaping device:
[0015] 1. The placement plate and limiting plate can stably place the cardboard, ensuring accurate folding position and improving folding accuracy.

[0027] The folding plate 4 is provided with an installation groove 15, and a heating plate 16 is fixedly installed in the installation groove 15. The heating of the heating plate 16 can reduce the brittleness of the cardboard, further reduce the possibility of cracking during folding, improve the folding quality, and make the edges of the folded cardboard neater and more beautiful.
[0028] An electric telescopic rod 17 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 2. The output rod of the electric telescopic rod 17 is connected to the limiting plate 5.

[0031] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.
[0032] The working principle of the corrugated cardboard box folding and shaping device provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0033] When in use, place the cardboard to be folded on the placement plate 3, start the electric telescopic rod 17, the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 17 extends, driving the limiting plate 5 to move down until the limiting plate 5 contacts the cardboard, which plays a limiting role in the cardboard and ensures that the folding position is accurate.
[0034] Before starting the folding operation, a humidification operation is performed. An appropriate amount of water is injected into the water storage tank 10 to ensure that the water volume is sufficient to complete one or more humidification operations before the cardboard folding. The suction pump 11 fixedly installed on the water storage tank 10 is started. After the suction pump 11 is started, water is sucked from the water storage tank 10 through the water inlet pipe 12. After the sucked water is pressurized by the suction pump 11, it is transported to the mounting frame 2 through the water outlet pipe 13. Multiple atomizing nozzles 14 set at the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 13 atomize the water and spray it out, evenly spraying it on the surface of the cardboard to achieve spray humidification of the cardboard.
[0035] During folding, the heating plate 16 inside the folding plate 4 is turned on. After the heating plate 16 is powered on, it starts to heat up, raising the temperature of the folding plate 4. The heat is transferred to the cardboard, which softens the cardboard locally. The drive motor 6 is started and starts to run. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate through the coupling. The threaded cylinder 8 is threaded onto the threaded rod 7. Under the rotation of the threaded rod 7, the threaded cylinder 8 will move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 7. The support rod 9, which is hinged to the top of the threaded cylinder 8, moves accordingly. The top of the support rod 9 is hinged to the folding plate 4. The movement of the support rod 9 will cause the folding plate 4 to rotate around its hinge point with the placement plate 3 until the folding plate 4 rotates to ninety degrees and contacts the side of the limiting plate 5, so that the cardboard is located between the folding plate 4 and the limiting plate 5, thereby realizing the folding operation of the cardboard.
[0036] Compared with related technologies, the corrugated cardboard box folding and shaping device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0037] This invention provides a corrugated cardboard box folding and shaping device.

The entire mechanism is automatically driven by a drive motor 6, eliminating the need for manual folding, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity. Automatic folding also ensures consistent and stable folding quality. The suction pump 11 enables automatic humidification, further improving production efficiency. Multiple atomizing nozzles 14 evenly spray water onto the cardboard surface, ensuring sufficient humidification of all parts of the cardboard and avoiding insufficient or excessive humidification in certain areas. This effectively solves the problems of decreased folding endurance and bursting caused by cardboard drying. Heating by the heating plate 16 reduces the brittleness of the cardboard, further reducing the possibility of bursting during folding, improving folding quality, and making the edges of the folded cardboard neater and more aesthetically pleasing. The electric telescopic rod 17 controls the extension distance of the output rod, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting plate 5 and achieving automatic adjustment of the limiting plate 5. The sliding connection between the guide rod 18 and the guide groove 19 provides stable guidance for the movement of the threaded cylinder 8, preventing the threaded cylinder 8 from rotating or deviating during the rotation of the threaded rod 7, ensuring that the threaded cylinder 8 can only move in a straight line along the axis of the threaded rod 7, thus ensuring the accurate movement trajectory of the folding plate 4. The opening allows the threaded cylinder 8 and the support rod 9 to move freely between the bottom and top of the worktable 1 without being obstructed by the worktable 1 during movement, ensuring that the automatic folding mechanism can operate normally and achieve accurate folding action of the folding plate 4.
