Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard box processing technology, and in particular to a device for edge grooving in cardboard box processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of cardboard box processing, edge slotting devices play a key role. Their main function is to precisely cut slots of a predetermined shape on the edge of the cardboard box to facilitate folding and locking, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the cardboard box.
[0003] Currently, slotting devices on the market can only perform slotting operations on specific carton models. Once production demands involve slots of different shapes or sizes, operators must select different sized slotting blades or completely replace the slotting device to accommodate the new carton model's slotting requirements. This not only reduces production efficiency but also increases production costs due to the additional time and manpower required to replace blades or equipment. Companies may need to configure multiple sets of specialized blades or invest in more slotting equipment to meet the slotting needs of different carton models. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a grooving device for processing the edges of cardboard boxes. The grooving device includes two grooving units for grooving the cardboard boxes and a moving unit for driving the two grooving units to move towards or away from each other. The two grooving units are connected to the moving unit.
[0005] Preferably, the moving unit includes two fixed plates, a bidirectional screw, a first motor, a limiting rod, and two sets of moving blocks. The two fixed plates are arranged on the left and right sides respectively. The two ends of the bidirectional screw are rotatably connected to the two fixed plates respectively. The first motor is fixedly mounted on one of the fixed plates, and the driving end of the first motor is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw. The limiting rod is fixedly mounted between the two fixed plates and is located on the rear side of the bidirectional screw. The two sets of moving blocks are movably connected to the screw and the limiting rod respectively, and the two sets of moving blocks are arranged on the left and right sides respectively. The two slotting units are respectively disposed at the bottom of the two sets of moving blocks.
[0006] Preferably, the grooving unit includes a second motor, a support plate, a rotating shaft, a support block, and grooving cutters. The second motor is fixedly mounted on the bottom of one of the moving blocks, and the support plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the other moving block. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the drive end of the second motor, and the other end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support plate. The support block is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft, and each of the four sides of the support block is provided with a grooving cutter, and the shape of the grooving cutter on each side is different.
[0007] Preferably, the bidirectional screw is connected to the fixed plate via a bearing, the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the fixed plate, and the inner ring of the bearing is interference-fitted with the bidirectional screw.
[0008] This invention provides an improved edge grooving device for carton processing, which, compared with existing technologies, offers the following improvements and advantages: By mounting grooving blades of various shapes on the rotating shaft of the grooving unit, the flexibility and adaptability of the grooving device are greatly enhanced. When faced with grooving requirements of different shaped slots, precise positioning of the corresponding grooving blade on the rotating shaft can be easily achieved through the precise drive of a second motor, allowing it to quickly rotate to the grooving position and prepare for grooving operations. Simultaneously, the device is equipped with a moving unit, which can adjust the distance between the two grooving units according to actual needs through opposite or reverse movements, thereby flexibly adjusting the grooving position and ensuring the grooving accuracy and consistency of different carton models. This improves production efficiency, reduces downtime caused by changing blades or equipment, significantly reduces production costs, and avoids the necessity of equipping multiple sets of grooving blades or purchasing multiple grooving machines for different carton models, achieving multi-purpose functionality for the grooving device.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a grooving device for processing the edge of a carton. The grooving device includes two grooving units 2 for grooving the carton and a moving unit 1 for driving the two grooving units 2 to move towards or away from each other. The two grooving units 2 are connected to the moving unit 1.
[0019] Specifically, the moving unit 1 includes two fixed plates 11, a bidirectional screw 12, a first motor 13, a limiting rod 14, and two sets of moving blocks 15. The two fixed plates 11 are arranged one on the left and one on the right. The two ends of the bidirectional screw 12 are rotatably connected to the two fixed plates 11 respectively. The first motor 13 is fixedly mounted on one of the fixed plates 11, and the driving end of the first motor 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 12. The limiting rod 14 is fixedly mounted between the two fixed plates 11, and the limiting rod 14 is located between the two fixed plates 11 and the bidirectional screw 12. On the rear side of 2, two sets of movable blocks 15 are movably connected to the screw and the limiting rod 14 respectively, and the two sets of movable blocks 15 are arranged one on the left and one on the right. There are two movable blocks 15 in each set, and the two movable blocks 15 are arranged one in front and one behind. One movable block 15 is threadedly connected to the thread of the bidirectional screw 12, and the other movable block 15 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 14. The two sets of movable blocks 15 are located at the bidirectional thread of the bidirectional screw 12 respectively, and the two slotted units 2 are respectively arranged at the bottom of the two sets of movable blocks 15.
[0020] Specifically, the grooving unit 2 includes a second motor 21, a support plate 22, a rotating shaft 23, a support block 24, and a grooving cutter 25. The second motor 21 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of one of the moving blocks 15, the support plate 22 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the other moving block 15, one end of the rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the second motor 21, and the other end of the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the support plate 22. The support block 24 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 23, and a grooving cutter 25 is provided on each of the four sides of the support block 24, and the grooving cutter 25 on each side has a different shape.
[0021] Specifically, the bidirectional screw 12 is connected to the fixed plate 11 via a bearing. The outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 11, and the inner ring of the bearing is interference-fitted with the bidirectional screw 12.
[0022] Working Principle: Before the slotting operation begins, the second motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate according to the required slot shape of the carton. This causes the slotting blades 25 of different shapes, fixed on the support block 24, to rotate to the slotting position, achieving precise positioning of the slotting blades 25. The second motor 21 rotates 90 degrees each time. Once the slotting blades 25 are positioned, the carton is fed into the slotting unit 2, ready for slotting. Subsequently, according to the specific model of the carton and the slotting requirements, the first motor 13 is started, driving the bidirectional screw 12 to rotate. Through the action of the screw, two sets of moving blocks 15 move along the screw, causing the two slotting units 2 to move towards or away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the two slotting units 2 to ensure that the slotting position meets the design requirements of the carton. Throughout the process, the selection of the slotting blade shape 25 and the adjustment of the distance between the slotting units 2 are controlled by motors, achieving automation and precision, improving the flexibility and efficiency of the slotting operation, and reducing downtime caused by changing blades or adjusting equipment.
