[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic folding machine with segmented temperature control, comprising a machine body 1. Two sets of guide rods a2 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the machine body 1. Three sets of electric push plates 6 are provided on the top surface of the machine body 1, enabling folding operations on three sides of a plastic packaging box. Three sets of temperature control switches 7 are provided on the surface of the machine body 1, allowing individual temperature adjustment of three heating plates 14. An electric telescopic rod 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the machine body 1. A connecting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 3. Two sets of sliding seats 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer wall of the connecting frame 4. The surface of the sliding seats 5 has a slot, and the inner wall of the slot of the sliding seat 5 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod a2. The guide rod a2 guides the downward movement of the sliding seats 5. When the electric telescopic rod 3 drives the connecting frame 4 to descend, the sliding seats 5 will move along the guide rod. The surface of a2 descends, thereby heating three sides of the plastic packaging. A placement plate 8 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the machine body 1. The plastic packaging can be placed on its surface by the placement plate 8. A guide rod b10 is fixedly connected between two sets of sliding seats 5. A sliding plate 11 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod b10. The two sets of guide rods b10 can guide the movement of the sliding plate 11. An inclined rod 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the sliding seat 5. Another set of sliding plates 11 and a heating plate 14 are set at the end of the inclined rod 13 away from the sliding seat 5, thereby heating the front end of the plastic packaging. The bottom end of the sliding plate 11 is fixedly connected to the heating plate 14. When the sliding plate 11 descends with the guide rod b10 and the sliding seat 5, it will drive the three sets of heating plates 14 to heat the three sides of the packaging, thereby enabling the electric push plate 6 to fold the edges. A cleaning component 12 is set on the inner wall of the sliding plate 11.

[0033] Reference Figures 2-4The cleaning component 12 includes a push block 121, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding plate 11. A connecting rod 123 passes through and is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the sliding plate 11. A guide groove is provided on the outer side wall of the sliding plate 11, allowing the connecting rod 123 to move up and down on the inner side of the sliding plate 11. The push block 121 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sliding plate 11 via a return spring 122. One end of the return spring 122 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer wall of the push block 121, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the sliding plate 11. The function of the return spring 122 is to automatically reset the position after the push block 121 drives the connecting rod 123 and the scraper 126 to descend. The connecting rod 123 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the push block 121, and the connecting rod 123 is located away from the push block 121. A mounting plate 124 is fixedly connected to the end of the heating plate 14. A slot is formed on the surface of the mounting plate 124. The outer wall of the bolt 125 contacts the inner wall of the slot in the mounting plate 124. A scraper 126 is detachably mounted on the bottom end of the mounting plate 124 by the bolt 125. The top end of the scraper 126 has an internal threaded groove. The bottom end of the bolt 125 is threaded to the inner wall of the scraper 126. By setting the bolt 125 to pass through the mounting plate 124 and threadedly connect with the scraper 126, the scraper 126 can be fixed. The outer wall of the scraper 126 contacts the surface of the heating plate 14. The contact between the two allows the scraper 126 to scrape off the material attached to the surface of the heating plate 14 when it descends, thereby avoiding affecting the next processing of the material. The temperature control switch 7 is electrically connected to the heating plate 14.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 Two sets of sliding seats 5 are rotatably connected by a bidirectional threaded rod 9. Three sets of sliding plates 11 are provided. The surfaces of the two sets of sliding plates 11 are provided with internal threaded grooves. The sliding plates 11 are threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 9. By providing the bidirectional threaded rod 9, the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 9 can make the two sets of sliding seats 5 move closer or further away from each other on their surfaces, thereby adjusting the position of the heating plate 14 to make fine adjustments according to the heating position of different packages.

[0035] Working principle: Place the plastic package on the placement plate 8, start the electric telescopic rod 3, the electric telescopic rod 3 drives the connecting frame 4 to descend, the connecting frame 4 then drives the sliding seat 5 to move downward along the guide rod a2, so that the heating plate 14 connected to the sliding seat 5 is close to the plastic package, in preparation for subsequent heating and folding. At the same time, by operating the temperature control switch 7, the temperature of the three sets of heating plates 14 can be adjusted separately to meet the folding temperature requirements of different plastic materials.

[0036] Two sets of sliding seats 5 are rotatably connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 9. Among the three sets of sliding plates 11, two sets of sliding plates 11 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 9 through internal thread grooves. When the bidirectional threaded rod 9 is rotated, due to the thread transmission principle, the two sets of sliding plates 11 will move closer or further apart on the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 9, thereby driving the heating plate 14 fixed at the bottom of the sliding plate 11 to move, so as to achieve fine adjustment of the position of the heating plate 14 to adapt to the heating requirements of different specifications of plastic packaging.

[0037] As the sliding plate 11 descends following the guide rod b10 and the sliding seat 5, it drives the three sets of heating plates 14 to heat the three sides of the plastic packaging. The heating plates 14 heat according to the temperature set by the temperature control switch 7, so that the part of the plastic packaging to be folded is softened by heat, making it easier for the electric push plate 6 to perform the folding operation.

[0038] When it is necessary to clean the material adhering to the surface of the heating plate 14, press down on the button 121. The button 121 moves downward against the elastic force of the return spring 122, causing the connecting rod 123 and the scraper 126 to descend synchronously. After the scraper 126 descends, it comes into close contact with the surface of the heating plate 14 and scrapes off the residual material adhering to the surface of the heating plate 14 through a scraping action, so as to avoid the residual material affecting the heating and folding quality of the next plastic packaging. After cleaning, release the button 121, and the return spring 122 pushes the button 121, the connecting rod 123 and the scraper 126 to reset and return to the initial position.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
