Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment, and in particular to a box folding machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of e-commerce, more and more goods are being transported via express delivery and other means. To protect goods during transportation and to enhance the aesthetics of product packaging, the demand for gift boxes, color boxes, and other packaging materials has increased dramatically. While automatic box folding machines already exist, most are suitable for folding straight-insertion box types. For example, the automatic box folding machine disclosed in Chinese patent document CN213972812U clearly shows in Figure 6 of its specification that it is suitable for straight-insertion box types. Furthermore, this folding machine requires moving the box blank a considerable distance during operation, making it prone to dropping or misalignment during this process. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.
[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0025] Example
[0026] This embodiment provides a box folding machine, including: a base 1, a material rack 2, an adsorption component, a drive component, and a box folding component;
[0027] Among them, a plurality of columns 13 are provided between the top end of the base 1 and the bottom end of the material rack 2, and the plurality of columns 13 surround to form a folding space for the folding box assembly to work; an air blowing assembly is provided at the top end of the base 1; a limiting plate 101 is provided at the top end of the base 1; a plate-shaped component parallel to the limiting plate 101 is provided between two columns 13, and the folding box cylinder 10 is provided on one side of the plate-shaped component. The folding box cylinder 10 cooperates with the limiting plate 101 to control the forming of the paper box blank.
[0028] The adsorption assembly is used to pick up the cardboard box blank from the material rack 2. The adsorption assembly is connected to a vacuum pump. The adsorption assembly includes: a plurality of suction cup fixing rods 3 and a plurality of suction cups 4 disposed at the top of the suction cup fixing rods 3.
[0029] The material rack 2 includes: a plurality of upright bars 201, which are arranged to form a paper box blank receiving part;
[0030] The driving assembly is used to drive the adsorption assembly to reciprocate up and down. The driving assembly includes: a slider 5, a slider guide rail 6 for sliding the slider 5, a slider connecting rod 7 connected to the slider 5, an eccentric wheel 8 connected to the slider connecting rod 7, and a driving motor 9 for driving the eccentric wheel 8. The slider 5 has several through holes, and the bottom ends of several suction cup fixing rods 3 pass through several through holes and are connected to the slider 5. The slider 5, the slider guide rail 6, the slider connecting rod 7, the eccentric wheel 8, and the driving motor 9 are all located inside the base 1.
[0031] The folding box assembly includes: a folding box cylinder 10, a lower push box cylinder, a left push box cylinder, a right push box cylinder, an upper push box cylinder 11, and a straight push box cylinder 12; the lower push box cylinder, the left push box cylinder, and the right push box cylinder are all located inside the base 1. The top end of the lower push box cylinder is provided with a lower push plate extending out of the base 1, the top end of the left push box cylinder is provided with a left push plate 14 extending out of the base 1, and the top end of the right push box cylinder is provided with a right push plate 15 extending out of the base 1; one end of the straight push box cylinder 12 is provided with a straight push plate.
[0032] The working principle is as follows: After the vacuum pump is started, the suction cup 4 generates negative pressure, driving the motor 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the eccentric wheel 8 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 8 drives the slider 5 to move up and down reciprocally through the slider connecting rod 7, thereby driving the adsorption component to move up and down reciprocally. After the adsorption component rises, the suction cup 4 picks up the cardboard box blank in the material rack 2. The rotation of the eccentric wheel 8 drives the adsorption component to descend, thereby causing the cardboard box blank to move to a lower position until the cardboard box blank is brought into the folding space. The folding cylinder 10 is activated, pushing the cardboard box blank towards the limiting plate 101. The folding cylinder 10 and the limiting plate 101 are then engaged. Plate 101 limits the side wall of the cardboard box to form the cardboard box. The lower push box cylinder is activated, and the lower push plate of the extended base 1 folds the bottom of the cardboard box. Then, the left push box cylinder and the right push box cylinder are activated, and the left push plate 14 and the right push plate 15 of the extended base 1 fold the bottom of the cardboard box. Then, the upper push box cylinder 11 is activated, pushing the bottom of the cardboard box diagonally downward. Finally, the straight push box cylinder 12 is activated to complete the insertion of the large tongue of the cardboard box, which completes one folding process. The air blowing component is activated to blow away the folded cardboard box and continue to the folding process of the next cardboard box.
[0033] In summary, this invention places the rack containing the cardboard box blank at the top of the base. After the adsorption component adsorbs the cardboard box blank, it only needs to move up and down for a short distance, without moving the cardboard box blank left and right, thus avoiding the situation where the cardboard box blank falls due to long movement distance. The folding component of this invention includes a direct-push box cylinder, which can perform the cardboard box tongue insertion after each bottom piece of the cardboard box is folded, and is suitable for quick-locking bottom box type cardboard boxes. When the folding machine of this invention is folding the box, the entire folding process is carried out within the folding space, without moving the cardboard box blank, thus avoiding the misalignment problem caused by the cardboard box blank not being moved into place.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
