A first mounting plate is connected between the first support and the second support. A horizontal moving module is also installed on the first support. The output end of the horizontal moving module is fixedly provided with the second mounting plate. A fixed support is slidably provided on the second mounting plate in the vertical direction. The fixed support is provided with multiple suction cups. The second mounting plate is also provided with a first driving device for driving the fixed support to rise and fall. A second driving device is installed on the first mounting plate. An adsorption plate is fixedly provided at the output end of the second driving device. The second driving device is used to drive the adsorption plate to move in the vertical direction. The machine base is provided with a feeding section and a discharging section. The suction cups are used to transport cardboard located in the storage section to the position of the adsorption plate. The adsorption plate is used to press the cardboard adsorbed by the suction cups onto the position of the discharging section. The discharging section is provided with a groove for folding the cardboard box. The adsorption plate can be embedded in the inside of the groove.

[0006] Specifically, the storage section is provided with a storage plate for placing cardboard, and a number of limiting plates are provided around the storage plate. The machine base is also provided with a third driving device for driving the multiple limiting plates to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0007] Specifically, the storage unit also includes two sets of longitudinal moving modules and two sets of transverse moving modules. The two sets of longitudinal moving modules are slidably disposed on the two sets of transverse moving modules. The two sets of longitudinal moving modules and the two sets of transverse moving modules form a "well" shape with each other. Four limiting plates are provided. The four limiting plates are respectively disposed at the four intersection points of the "well" shape. Each limiting plate is slidably limited by at least one transverse moving module and one longitudinal moving module.

[0008] Specifically, the third driving device includes at least two sets of driving units, which are used to drive the two sets of longitudinal moving modules to move closer or further apart, and to drive the two sets of lateral moving modules to move closer or further apart.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a combination of suction cups and adsorption plates. The suction cups transport the cardboard to be folded to the vicinity of the feeding section, while the adsorption plates alternately press the cardboard down into the groove of the feeding section. The groove then forms the cardboard in one fold. The suction cups provide stable adsorption of the cardboard from multiple directions, while the adsorption plates push and form the cardboard. This allows for rapid folding of the cardboard during transport, improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example:

[0023] This utility model provides an automatic cardboard feeding device for automating the initial folding of cardboard boxes. It can perform a single bending process on the cardboard box while simultaneously handling it, achieving a high automation coverage rate and helping to ensure product yield and efficient cardboard box production. To realize the device's structural functions, the device includes a machine base 1, on which a first support 2 and a second support 3 are mounted. A first mounting plate 4 is connected between the first support 2 and the second support 3. A horizontal moving module 5 is also mounted on the first support 2. The output end of the horizontal moving module 5 is fixedly mounted with a second mounting plate 6, allowing the second mounting plate 6 to reciprocate along the moving direction of the horizontal moving module 5. To grip and move the cardboard, a fixed support 8 is slidably mounted vertically on the second mounting plate 6, and multiple suction cups 9 are mounted on the fixed support 8. These suction cups 9 should be adjustable according to the size of the cardboard to facilitate adsorption from different parts, preventing the cardboard from folding downwards due to gravity during handling. The second mounting plate 6 also has a first... A drive unit 7 is provided to facilitate vertical transport of the cardboard. To enable one-time forming of the cardboard during transport, a second drive unit 10 is mounted on the first mounting plate 4. The output end of the second drive unit 10 is fixedly equipped with an adsorption plate 11, configured to drive the adsorption plate 11 to move vertically. The machine base 1 is equipped with a feeding section and a discharging section for feeding and discharging the cardboard. The suction cup 9 transports the cardboard from the storage section to the position of the adsorption plate 11, and the adsorption plate 11 adsorbs the cardboard from the suction cup 9. The cardboard is pressed into the feeding section. At this time, the feeding section has a groove for folding the cardboard box, and the suction plate 11 can be embedded in the groove. With the above configuration, after the suction plate 11 adsorbs the cardboard, it can press the cardboard into the groove, thereby quickly realizing the forming action. At this time, the suction cup 9 is used to adsorb the cardboard to the position above the groove of the feeding section. The suction plate 11 is used to replace the adsorption function of the suction cup 9 and simultaneously press the cardboard. During the operation, the suction cup 9 can be reset to repeatedly pick up the cardboard. The coordinated actions of the two are highly efficient, which is conducive to high-speed production and ensures the finished product effect.

[0024] This utility model provides an automatic cardboard feeding device. To ensure the stability of the cardboard position when the suction cup 9 adsorbs the cardboard, a storage plate 14 is provided in the storage section for placing the cardboard and providing support for it. Several limiting plates 15 are provided around the storage plate 14 to limit the edge of the cardboard, thereby ensuring the position of the cardboard base being adsorbed. In order to adjust the limiting plates 15 so that different sizes of limiting plates 15 can be placed on the storage plate 14, a third driving device 18 is also provided on the machine base 1 to drive the multiple limiting plates 15 to move closer or further apart. The specific driving method and setting of the third driving device 18 are not limited here, as long as it can realize the position adjustment between the limiting plates 15. In one preferred embodiment, the storage section may further include two sets of longitudinal moving modules 16 and two sets of transverse moving modules 17. The two sets of longitudinal moving modules 16 are slidably mounted on the two sets of transverse moving modules 17, forming a grid-like structure. Four limiting plates 15 are provided, positioned at the four intersections of the grid. Each limiting plate 15 is slidably limited by at least one transverse moving module 17 and one longitudinal moving module 16. That is, through this configuration, each limiting plate 15 is confined to its corresponding longitudinal direction. At the corner where the moving module 16 and the lateral moving module 17 intersect, the positions of the lateral moving module 17 and the longitudinal moving module 16 can be changed. The lateral moving modules 17 should be able to move closer or further apart simultaneously, facilitating adjustment of the lateral distance of the limiting plate 15. The third driving device 18 includes at least two driving units, used to drive the two longitudinal moving modules 16 closer or further apart, and to drive the two lateral moving modules 17 closer or further apart. The driving method can use two motors in conjunction with a bidirectional threaded rod. Note that the slide rail position configuration should meet actual usage requirements. Preferably, the horizontal cross-section of the limiting plate 15 is "L"-shaped, with the acute angles of the four limiting plates 15 arranged opposite each other, facilitating accurate positioning of the cardboard. To avoid the structure of the storage plate 14 affecting the movement of the four limiting plates 15, the storage plate 14 can be shaped like a cross or have movable openings for the limiting plates 15 to move. Figure 2 As shown.

[0025] This utility model provides an automatic feeding device for folding cardboard, specifically providing a groove structure for the feeding section. To facilitate the initial forming of the cardboard, the feeding section can be configured to include two parallel folding plates 12 set on the machine base 1, and the length of the suction plate 11 is set to be less than the distance between the two folding plates 12. At this time, the two folding plates 12 should be able to act on the outside of the folding line of the cardboard, and bend the cardboard to each other through the action of the contact force, thereby realizing the pre-forming folding of the two sides of the cardboard. The suction plate 11 is positioned directly above the position between the two folding plates 12, so that when the suction plate 11 descends, it can directly match the groove between the folding plates 12.

[0026] This utility model provides an automatic feeding device for folding cardboard. Considering the pre-folding of the other two sides of the cardboard and its conveying and feeding out of the equipment, two folding plates 12 are set to extend along the direction of the machine base 1. A conveying assembly 13 with the conveying direction parallel to the extension direction of the folding plates 12 is provided below the machine base 1. At the same time, a U-shaped frame 19 is installed on the conveying assembly 13. The U-shaped frame 19 is positioned between the two folding plates 12 and is initially aligned with the position of the suction plate 11. Thus, when the suction plate 11 descends, it can simultaneously apply an upward folding force to all four sides of the cardboard, realizing the pre-folding action in each direction. The distance between the grooves inside the U-shaped frame 19 is greater than the width of the suction plate 11 to avoid the suction plate 11 being unable to press down the cardboard. After the cardboard is pressed down and pre-formed, it is conveyed forward through the conveying assembly 13, thereby realizing the downstream process of the cardboard and the corresponding discharge action.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
