Abstract

This utility model provides a folding assembly capable of efficiently and effectively folding packaging boxes, effectively preventing the rebound of the inner folded paper, significantly improving the stability of the folding effect, and making the packaging box more neat in appearance. The folding assembly includes a support frame, a folding blade, and a first driving device. The first driving device is mounted on the support frame and configured to drive the folding blade to rise and fall in a first direction, and to move forward and backward in a second direction. When folding the inner folded paper of the packaging box, the first driving device first drives the folding blade forward in the second direction, causing the folding blade to basically flatten the inner folded paper. Subsequently, the first driving device drives the folding blade downward in the second direction, pressing the folding blade against the inner folded paper, thereby ensuring a tight fit between the inner folded paper and the box blank, effectively preventing rebound.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging box production equipment technology, and in particular to a folding assembly. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern industry, packaging boxes, as a common type of commodity packaging, are receiving increasing attention for their production efficiency and quality. The production process of packaging boxes includes multiple steps such as cutting, folding, gluing, and shaping, among which folding is a crucial step in ensuring the neat appearance and structural stability of the packaging box.

[0003] In the folding process of some packaging boxes, it is usually necessary to first fold the upright inner folding paper flat so that subsequent processes can smoothly fold the inner folding paper into the box body. Currently, related technologies often use a single cylinder to drive a scraper to flatten the inner folding paper. Although this method can achieve the flattening of the inner folding paper to a certain extent, the inner folding paper is prone to rebound after flattening. This not only leads to unstable folding results but also makes the appearance of the packaging box irregular (e.g., the inner folding paper is not well attached to the box blank), thus affecting its overall quality.

[0004] The content of the background section is merely the technology known to the inventor and does not necessarily represent the prior art in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address one or more deficiencies in the prior art, this utility model provides a folding assembly, comprising:

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0037] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a folding assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below, in conjunction with... Figure 1 Provide a detailed description.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the folding assembly 100 includes a support frame 110, a folding blade 120, and a first drive device 130. The folding blade 120 is horizontally disposed above the support frame 110, and the first drive device 130 is connected between the support frame 110 and the folding blade 120. The first drive device 130 is configured to drive the folding blade 120 to rise and fall in a first direction, and also to drive the folding blade 120 to move forward and backward in a second direction.

[0039] Figure 2 A schematic diagram illustrating a usage scenario of the hem assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 As shown, when using the folding assembly 100 to fold the inner folded paper of the packaging box, the first driving device 130 can first drive the folding blade 120 forward in the second direction, so that the folding blade 120 basically folds the inner folded paper of the packaging box flat (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown in the diagram); then, the first driving device 130 drives the folding edge scraper 120 to descend in the second direction, causing the folding edge scraper 120 to press the inner folded face paper of the packaging box, thereby making the inner folded face paper tightly adhere to the box blank and effectively preventing rebound. Those skilled in the art will understand that although the above description details the application of the folding edge assembly 100 in the process of flattening the inner folded face paper of the packaging box, the uses of the folding edge assembly 100 are not limited to this. The folding edge assembly 100 can also be widely used in other stages of the packaging box folding process, such as folding the box lid, flaps, and other parts of the packaging box.

[0040] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a folding scraper 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the folding edge scraper 120 includes a scraper plate 121 and a base plate 122. The scraper plate 121 is made of a relatively hard material such as metal to ensure the structural strength of the folding edge scraper 120 and to achieve a stable connection between the folding edge scraper 120 and the first driving device 130. The base plate 122 is made of a relatively soft material such as plastic, polyurethane, or silicone. The base plate 122 is attached to the underside of the scraper plate 121 and extends at least to the front end of the scraper plate 121. When the folding edge assembly 100 is used to fold the inner folding paper of the packaging box, the softer base plate 122 contacts the inner folding paper first, effectively preventing the inner folding paper from being scratched.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a mounting groove 121a is provided on the lower side of the shovel plate 121, extending to the front end of the shovel plate 121. The base plate 122 is disposed within the mounting groove 121a and detachably connected to the shovel plate 121, facilitating user replacement of the base plate 122. Preferably, a chamfer 122a is provided at the front end of the base plate 122 to further prevent scratches on the inner folded face paper.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first driving device 130 may include a first cylinder 131 and a second cylinder 132. The first cylinder 131 is positioned above the folding blade 120 along a second direction, and its output end (cylinder rod) is connected to the folding blade 120 (blade 121). By controlling the extension and retraction of the first cylinder 131, the folding blade 120 can be driven to move downward and upward along the first direction. The second cylinder 132 is positioned behind the folding blade 120 along the first direction, and its output end (cylinder rod) is connected to the first cylinder 131. By controlling the extension and retraction of the second cylinder 132, the first cylinder 131 and the folding blade 120 can be driven to move forward and backward along the second direction.

[0043] Figure 4 An exploded view of a portion of the structure of a folded edge assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the first driving device 130 may further include a connecting plate 133, which connects the first cylinder 131 and the second cylinder 132. The height of the first cylinder 131 on the connecting plate 133 is adjustable, thereby enabling the folding assembly 100 to adapt to packaging boxes of different sizes, significantly improving the versatility and flexibility of the folding assembly 100. Preferably, two oblong holes 133a are provided on the connecting plate 133, both of which extend along a first direction. The connecting plate 133 is connected to the cylinder body of the first cylinder 131 by bolts, which pass through the elongated hole 111 on the connecting plate 133 and are fixed to the cylinder body of the first cylinder 131. When the bolts are loosened, the height of the first cylinder 131 can be freely adjusted; while when the bolts are tightened, the position of the first cylinder 131 is firmly locked, ensuring stability during operation.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the position of the first drive device 130 on the support frame 110 is adjustable to further improve the versatility and flexibility of the folding assembly 100. Preferably, two elongated holes 111 are provided on the support frame 110, both of which extend along a second direction. The support frame 110 is connected to the cylinder body of the second cylinder 132 by bolts passing through the elongated holes 111 on the support frame 110 and fixed to the cylinder body of the second cylinder 132. When the bolts are loosened, the position of the first drive device 130 on the support frame 110 can be freely adjusted; while when the bolts are tightened, the position of the first drive device 130 is firmly locked to ensure stability during operation.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the folding assembly 100 may further include a second drive device 140. This second drive device 140 is connected to the support frame 110 and configured to drive the support frame 110 forward and backward in a second direction, facilitating the replacement of the packaging box at the folding station by other equipment. Preferably, the drive stroke of the second drive device 140 in the second direction is greater than the drive stroke of the first drive device 130 in the second direction.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second drive device 140 may include a base 141, a guide rail 142, a slider 143, and a linear actuator 144. The guide rail 142 is disposed on the base 141 along a second direction to provide stable guidance. The slider 143 is mounted on the bottom of the support frame 110 and slides in cooperation with the guide rail 142, thereby allowing the support frame 110 to move smoothly in the second direction. The linear actuator 144 is connected to the support frame 110 and configured to drive the support frame 110 forward and backward along the second direction to meet different operational requirements. The linear actuator 144 may be, for example, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric actuator.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the folding assembly 100 may further include a side pressure plate 150, which is disposed on the front side of the support frame 110. During the folding process, the side pressure plate 150 can abut against the side of the packaging box, thereby fixing and limiting the packaging box, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the folding operation, and further improving the folding quality of the packaging box.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model provide a folding assembly 100, which can perform efficient and high-quality folding of packaging boxes, effectively avoid the rebound phenomenon of the inner folded paper, significantly improve the stability of the folding effect, and make the appearance of the packaging box more regular. Specifically, when folding the inner folded paper of the packaging box, the first driving device 130 drives the folding blade 120 to move forward in the second direction, so that the folding blade 120 folds the inner folded paper of the packaging box basically flat; then, the first driving device 130 drives the folding blade 120 to descend in the second direction, so that the folding blade 120 presses the inner folded paper of the packaging box, thereby making the inner folded paper fit tightly with the box blank and effectively preventing rebound.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
