[0002] A gift box is a cardboard box, a three-dimensional shape, composed of a multifaceted form created by moving, stacking, folding, and enclosing several facets. In a three-dimensional composition, facets play a role in dividing space; cutting, rotating, and folding different parts of the facets result in different emotional expressions.
[0003] In the production process, automatic folding mechanisms are required. Currently, common automatic folding mechanisms can only fold paper boxes within a specified size range. It is not convenient to replace the placement board, which makes it difficult to process paper boxes of different sizes.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. This utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an adjustable automatic gift box folding device includes: a workbench 100, a mounting frame 200, a placement mechanism, a first drive mechanism, a second drive mechanism, and a bending mechanism; a placement slot 101 is provided on one side of the workbench 100, the placement mechanism is disposed in the placement slot 101, the mounting frame 200 is disposed on one side of the workbench 100, and part of the mounting frame 200 is located above the placement mechanism; the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism are both disposed on the mounting frame 200, and the first drive mechanism is used to drive the bending mechanism.
[0024] Specifically, the placement mechanism includes a plurality of lifting devices 310, which form a matrix. Each lifting device 310 is connected to a placement seat 311, and each placement seat 311 is detachably connected to a lifting device 310. The first driving mechanism includes a first driving cylinder 410 and a mounting base 420. The first driving cylinder 410 is disposed on the mounting frame 200, and the air rod of the first driving cylinder 410 is connected to the mounting base 420. The bending mechanism includes four adjusting cylinders 610 and four bending plates 620. Each adjusting cylinder 610 is disposed on one side of the mounting base 420, and the air rod of each adjusting cylinder 610 is connected to a bending plate 620. Each bending plate 620 is parallel to one side of the mounting base 420. The second drive mechanism includes two second drive cylinders 510 and two push plates 520. The two second drive cylinders 510 are both mounted on the mounting bracket 200, and the air rod of each second drive cylinder 510 is connected to one of the push plates 520.
[0025] In the above embodiments, the easily adjustable automatic gift box folding device further includes a robotic arm 700 and a detector 800. The detector 800 is mounted on the robotic arm 700, and the robotic arm 700 is equipped with a first suction cup 710 for adsorbing cardboard. A second suction cup 900 is mounted on the mounting base 420. Both the first suction cup 710 and the second suction cup 900 are electric suction cups. It is worth mentioning that the easily adjustable automatic gift box folding device also includes a control system, which is a PLC control system. Several lifting devices 310, the first drive cylinder 410, four adjusting cylinders 610, two second drive cylinders 510, the robotic arm 700, the detector 800, the first suction cup 710, and the second suction cup 900 are all electrically connected to the control system.
[0026] When using this easily adjustable automatic gift box folding device, the operator first places the cardboard to be processed within the reach of the robotic arm 700, with the center position of each cardboard marked for easy identification by the detector 800. The entire automatic folding device is activated via the control system, and the operator has pre-entered information about the cardboard to be folded into the control system, such as the cardboard's dimensions and the desired folding position. During use, the robotic arm 700 rotates above the cardboard, the detector 800 detects the marked position, and then sends a signal to the control system. The control system then instructs the robotic arm 700 to contact the marked position. At this point, the first suction cup 710 is activated, adsorbing the cardboard, and the robotic arm 700 transports it to the center of the placement mechanism. Since the corresponding dimensions have been preset, after placement on the placement mechanism, the control system controls the corresponding placement seat 311, i.e., the corresponding lifter 310, to lift the cardboard. At this point, the portion of the cardboard that does not need to be folded is above the corresponding placement seats 311, while the portion that needs to be folded is suspended in the air. By activating the first drive cylinder 410, the air rod of the first drive cylinder 410 drives the mounting base 420 to move closer to the cardboard. At the same time, the four first adjustment cylinders 610 also drive the bending plates 620 accordingly. That is, as the mounting base 420 falls, each first adjustment cylinder 610 adjusts the bending plates 620 to the appropriate position, meaning each bending plate 620 will align with the position to be folded. In other words, by driving the mounting base 420 downwards through the first drive cylinder 410, the second suction cup 900 abuts against and adheres to the cardboard. Simultaneously, each bending plate 620 abuts against the position of the cardboard to be bent. As the mounting base 420 continues to move downwards, the cardboard can be bent effectively. Furthermore, due to the action of the second suction cup 900, it is ensured that the cardboard will not shift during the bending process. After folding, the second suction cup 900 no longer holds the cardboard. At this point, the pneumatic rods of the two second drive cylinders 510 drive the push plates 520, causing them to abut against the folded portion of the cardboard from both sides, ensuring the folded cardboard remains stable. Then, the robotic arm 700 rotates above the cardboard, and the first suction cup 710 holds it. At this point, the two push plates 520 no longer abut against the cardboard, meaning the two second drive cylinders 510 drive them to move away from the cardboard. The robotic arm 700 then removes the processed cardboard. After removal, all placement seats 311 return to their initial positions. After placing the processed cardboard, the robotic arm 700 picks up another cardboard piece to be folded and places it in the center of the placement mechanism, continuing the folding process.
[0027] In summary, the above embodiments are not limiting embodiments of this utility model. Any modifications or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art based on the substantive content of this utility model are within the technical scope of this utility model.
