[0074] The automatic box folding machine of this utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0075] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the automatic box folding machine includes: a machine body 10, a suction mechanism 20, a conveying mechanism 30, a pressing component 40, and a box folding component 50. The suction mechanism 20 is disposed inside the machine body 10 and is used to suction the board 70 to be folded. The conveying mechanism 30 is movably disposed below the suction mechanism 20 and is used to receive the board 70 to be folded by the suction mechanism 20 and to convey the board 70 to be folded from the initial position to the folding position. The pressing component 40 is disposed above the folding position and is used to press and fix the board 70 to be folded when it is conveyed to the folding position. The box folding component 50 is disposed on the side of the folding position and is used to flip and fold the side of the board 70 to be folded when the pressing component 40 presses and fixes the board 70 to be folded.

[0076] The board to be folded 70 can be a flat cardboard with folding patterns embossed on its surface, so that the board to be folded 70 can be folded along the folding patterns. After the board to be folded 70 is folded into shape, it can be formed into a packaging box or packaging carton, etc. The initial position can be directly below the suction mechanism 20, and the folding position can be directly below the pressing component 40. By moving the board to be folded 70 from the initial position to the folding position, the board to be folded 70 can complete the folding operation at the folding position.

[0077] The automatic box folding machine provided by this utility model can pick up the board 70 to be folded through the suction mechanism 20 and place it on the conveying mechanism 30, so that the conveying mechanism 30 can transport the board 70 to be folded from the initial position to the folding position, so that the board 70 can be pressed and fixed in the folding position by the pressing component 40. At the same time, the box folding component 50 flips and folds the side of the board 70 to fold it into a finished packaging box. This can avoid damage to the packaging box, improve the yield and folding efficiency, and increase the degree of automation.

[0078] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the suction mechanism 20 includes: a support 21, a sliding module 22, a sliding frame 23, a first cylinder 24, and a suction cup 25. The support 21 is fixed inside the machine body 10; the sliding module 22 is disposed on the support 21; the sliding frame 23 is disposed on the sliding module 22; one end of the first cylinder 24 is fixed to the support 21, and the other end is fixed to the sliding frame 23; the suction cup 25 is disposed on the sliding frame 23 so as to move together with the sliding frame 23; further, it also includes a material rack 60, which is disposed above the suction mechanism 20 and is surrounded by multiple vertically arranged limiting baffles to form a receiving space for accommodating stacked folding plates.

[0079] In this embodiment, the sliding module 22 can be a combination of a sliding block and a slide rail. The first cylinder 24 can drive the sliding frame 23 to slide on the sliding module 22, so that the suction cup 25 can rise or fall with the sliding frame 23. Multiple foldable plates 70 can be placed in the material rack 60 so that multiple foldable plates 70 are stacked in the material rack 60. When the suction cup 25 rises with the sliding frame 23, the suction cup 25 can stick tightly to the bottom foldable plate 70, thereby adsorbing and fixing the bottom foldable plate 70. It is then driven to fall by the first cylinder 24 to remove the foldable plate 70 from the material rack 60 and place it on the conveying mechanism 30. It can be understood that the suction cup 25 can be connected to a vacuuming device through an air pipe. The vacuuming device can be an air compressor, etc., so that the suction cup 25 can be vacuumed by the vacuuming device to form a negative pressure, thereby completing the adsorption action of the foldable plate 70.

[0080] The material rack 60 includes a bottom support block 61 and a vertically extending limiting baffle 62. The support block 61 supports the edge of the plate to be folded 70. Specifically, the support plate 61 can be an L-shaped structure, with its vertical position connected to the limiting baffle 62 and its horizontal position extending into the accommodating space. The horizontal extension length can be set according to actual needs. That is, in actual production, it is necessary to ensure that the support supports the plate to be folded while allowing it to detach with a small deformation when it descends. For example, the horizontal extension length can be 2-4cm. The above dimensions are only an example and are not limited here. The limiting baffle 62 can... The suction cup 25 guides and limits the folding plate 70 when it is placed in the conveying mechanism 30. When the suction cup 25 picks up the folding plate 70 and performs the descent operation, it can cause the edge of the folding plate 70 to deform to a certain extent so that it can detach from the support block 61 and enter the initial position of the conveying mechanism 30 to place the folding plate 70. It can be understood that after the bottom folding plate 70 is removed, the multiple folding plates 70 stacked on the support block 61 can descend under their own weight. Since the folding plates 70 that are not picked up deform less under their own weight, the multiple folding plates 70 that are not picked up can be supported and fixed by the support block 61, making the picking and placing of the folding plates 70 simpler and more automated.

[0081] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the conveying mechanism 30 includes: a fixed plate 31, a guide plate 32, a lead screw module 33, a slider 34, and a pusher plate 35. The fixed plate 31 is located inside the machine body 10; the guide plate 32 is located on the fixed plate 31; the lead screw module 33 is located between the fixed plate 31 and the guide plate 32; the slider 34 is threadedly connected to the lead screw module 33 and is fixedly connected to the guide plate 32; the pusher plate 35 is located on the slider 34 so as to move along the length direction of the guide plate 32 with the slider 34.

[0082] In this embodiment, the slider 34 may be provided with a connecting block 36, which can be slidably accommodated in the guide hole 321, so that the connecting block 36 can protrude on the guide plate 32 to connect and fix the slider 34 and the push plate 35. Optionally, the connecting block 36 can be integrally set with the slider 34, or it can be detachably set. The fixing plate 31 may be provided with a support column 37 to connect with the guide plate 32 through the support column 37, so that a space for installing the lead screw module 33 can be formed between the guide plate 32 and the fixing plate 31. The guide plate 32 has a guide hole 321. Extending along the length of the guide plate 32, the lead screw module 33 can drive the slider 34 to move along the length of the guide hole 321, and restrict the movement position of the slider 34 through the cooperation of the connecting block 36 and the guide hole 321, so that the push plate 35 moves with the slider 34 to the initial position or the folded position; when the plate to be folded 70 is picked up by the suction cup 25 and placed on the push plate 35, the push plate 35 can move from the initial position to the folded position, so that the push plate 35 can push the plate to be folded 70 to the folded position, thereby making the handling of the plate to be folded 70 simpler and the handling efficiency higher.

[0083] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the pressing assembly 40 includes: a fixed frame 41, a second cylinder 42, a guide rod 43, and a pressure plate 44. The fixed frame 41 is mounted on the body 10; the second cylinder 42 is mounted on the fixed frame 41; the guide rod 43 slidably passes through the fixed frame 41; the pressure plate 44 is located at the bottom of the fixed frame 41 and is fixed to the second cylinder 42 and the guide rod 43, and is driven by the second cylinder 42 to approach or move away from the folding position.

[0084] In this embodiment, when the plate to be folded 70 is pushed to the folding position by the push plate 35, the second cylinder 42 can drive the pressure plate 44 to descend, so that the pressure plate 44 can press down the plate to be folded 70, so that the plate to be folded 70 can be embedded into the folding box assembly 50 to complete the folding operation, ensuring that the plate to be folded 70 is folded into shape faster and more efficient during the folding process.

[0085] Reference Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the folding box assembly 50 includes: a base plate 51, a contouring component 52, and a folding mechanism 53. The base plate 51 is fixed inside the body 10. The contouring component 52 is disposed on the base plate 51 and forms a cavity for the plate to be folded 70 to be embedded. The contouring component 52 is located on both sides in the width direction of the cavity. The folding mechanism 53 is movably disposed on both sides in the length direction of the cavity and is used to approach the cavity to work together with the contouring component 52 to flip and fold the side of the plate to be folded 70.

[0086] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 9As shown, the folding plate 70 includes a box bottom 71, a cover plate 72, a front side plate 73, a left side plate 74, and a right side plate 75. The cover plate 72 and the front side plate 73 are arranged opposite each other, and the left side plate 74 and the right side plate 75 are arranged opposite each other. The size of the pressure plate 44 can be adapted to the box bottom 71, so that after the folding plate 70 is pressed into the cavity, the contouring component 52 can exert a force on the cover plate 72 and the front side plate 73 to deform and fold inward. This allows the cover plate 72 and the front side plate 73 of the folding plate 70 to complete the initial folding operation. After the initial folding operation is completed, the folding mechanism 53 can perform the folding operation on the side of the folding plate 70 in the length direction, ensuring that the folding operation of the folding plate 70 is simpler.

[0087] Furthermore, the contouring component 52 includes: a support plate 521, a first forming plate 522, a second forming plate 523, and a third cylinder 524. The support plate 521 is fixed on the base plate 51; the first forming plate 522 is disposed on the support plate 521; the second forming plate 523 is movably disposed on the base plate 51 and is disposed opposite to the first forming plate 522; the third cylinder 524 is disposed at the bottom of the base plate 51 and is connected to the second forming plate 523.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the folding plate 70 enters the cavity, the second forming plate 523 remains opposite to the first forming plate 522 and is on the same horizontal plane. This allows the folding plate 70 to be folded by the first forming plate 522 and the second forming plate 523 pressing the cover plate 72 and the front side plate 73 when it is pressed into the cavity by the pressure plate 44. After folding, the second forming plate 523 can be driven to descend by the third cylinder 524 to move the folded packaging box out of the cavity, thus making the folding efficiency of the folding plate 70 higher.

[0089] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the folding mechanism 53 includes: a sliding cylinder 531, a sliding seat 532, and a pushing seat 533. The sliding cylinder 531 is fixed on the base plate 51; the sliding seat 532 is disposed on the sliding cylinder 531 and connected to the sliding cylinder 531; the pushing seat 533 is disposed on the sliding seat 532 and is used to move closer to or further away from the cavity with the sliding seat 532 when the sliding cylinder 531 drives the sliding seat 532 to move.

[0090] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 9As shown, the folding mechanism 53 can have two sets to fold the left side plate 74 and the right side plate 75 respectively. The cover plate 72 and the front side plate 73 are respectively provided with plug-in plates 76 at both ends. When folding the left side plate 74 and the right side plate 75, the sliding cylinder 531 can drive the sliding seat 532 to move, so that the two push seats 533 can move together towards the left side plate 74 and the right side plate 75. This allows the two push seats 533 to push and fold multiple plug-in plates 76, the left side plate 74 and the right side plate 75 at the same time. It can be understood that the width of the push seat can be set according to the length of the plug-in plates 76 and the left side plate 74, or according to the length of the plug-in plates 76 and the left side plate 74, to ensure that the push seat can push and fold the left side plate 74 and the two adjacent plug-in plates 76 together, and push and fold the right side plate 75 and the two adjacent plug-in plates 76 together. This makes the plate to be folded 70 close and form a shape, with higher folding efficiency and quality.

[0091] In a preferred embodiment, the folding mechanism 53 further includes: a motor 534, a first transmission wheel 535, a second transmission wheel 536, and a hook member 537. The motor 534 is located at the bottom of the base plate 51; the first transmission wheel 535 is located on the motor shaft of the motor 534; the second transmission wheel 536 is connected to the first transmission wheel 535 in a driving connection; and the hook member 537 is pivotally located on the sliding seat 532 and is connected to the second transmission wheel 536 in a driving connection.

[0092] In this embodiment, in order to engage and limit the insertion plate 76, a flipping part 77 is formed on both the left side plate 74 and the right side plate 75. By driving the first transmission wheel 535 to rotate by the motor 534, the first transmission wheel 535 can drive the second transmission wheel 536 to rotate, so that the hook 537 can flip and fold the flipping part 77 to the inside, thereby completing the folding operation of the plate to be folded 70, so as to obtain a packaging box with the cover plate 72 in the open state. The folding efficiency is higher and the forming quality is better.

[0093] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fourth cylinder 54 is also provided on the base plate 51. A stop plate 55 is provided on the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 54, and the fourth cylinder 54 is used to drive the stop plate 55 into or out of the moving direction of the plate to be folded 70.

[0094] In this embodiment, an output module 56 is provided on the base plate 51. The output module 56 can use a lead screw module 33 to push the folded packaging box out of the folded position. When the packaging box is pushed out to the folded position, the second forming plate 523 can be driven down by the third cylinder 524, and the stop plate 55 can be driven down by the fourth cylinder 54. This allows the folded packaging box to be pushed out towards the conveyor belt 80 through the output module 56, so that the folded packaging box can be transported to the production line for product packaging by the conveyor belt 80, thereby improving production efficiency.
