Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carton binding technology, specifically a folding tool for carton binding. Background Technology

[0002] Cardboard boxes are the most widely used packaging products. Depending on the materials used, there are corrugated cardboard boxes, single-layer cardboard boxes, etc., and they come in various specifications and models. Cardboard boxes commonly have three or five layers, while seven-layer boxes are less common. Each layer consists of linerboard, corrugated paper, core paper, and face paper. Linerboard and face paper can be made of kraft paper or kraft paper, while the core paper is made of corrugated paper. The colors and textures of various types of paper are different, and the paper produced by different manufacturers also varies in color and texture.

[0003] In the production process of cardboard boxes, the crease is used for creasing and then the boxes are stapled to complete the shaping. Before stapled, the boxes need to be folded according to the creases. The folding process is mostly done manually. The production efficiency of this method depends on the speed of manual folding. The utilization rate of the assembly machine is low, which is not conducive to efficient production. By setting up auxiliary tooling, the production efficiency can be effectively improved. Therefore, we propose a folding tooling for cardboard box binding. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a folding fixture for carton binding, including a support frame 1, a platform 2 supported on the inner side of the support frame 1, a support plate 8 supported inside the support frame 1, and a flipping plate 3 provided on the outer side of the platform 2. The flipping plate 3 enables the folding of the carton during use. During operation, after the carton is fed under the rotating wheel 9, it is first folded into an obtuse angle, then passes through the rotating wheel 9 and is fully folded. Connecting shafts 5 are movably fitted inside the platform 2 and the flipping plate 3, and connecting blocks 4 located outside the platform 2 and the flipping plate 3 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the two connecting shafts 5. A servo motor 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the platform 2, and linkage gears 6 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 7 and the outer side of the connecting blocks 4. The connecting shafts 5 inside the flipping plate 3 can drive the flipping plate 3 to rotate around the connecting shafts 5 inside the platform 2.

[0021] Platform 2 is supported by a support frame 15. A second support spring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the support frame 15. A rotating block 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the output shaft of the second support spring 14. The rotating block 13 is designed to support the rotating wheel 9 and the correction spring 12, thereby limiting the rotation wheel 9. The rotating wheel 9 is movably fitted inside the rotating block 13. A support sleeve 10 is fixedly fitted outside the rotating wheel 9. A first support spring 11 is connected to both ends of the support sleeve 10. A correction spring 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first support spring 11. The first support spring 11 can effectively correct the carton during the conveying process and prevent the carton from going astray.

[0022] The vertical cross-section of the connecting shaft 5 inside the inner cavity of the flip plate 3 is not circular, while the vertical cross-section of the connecting shaft 5 inside the inner cavity of the platform 2 is circular. The linkage gear 6 on the outer side of the connecting block 4 and the connecting shaft 5 inside the inner cavity of the platform 2 are located on the same axis. Through the cooperation of the connecting block 4 and the connecting shaft 5, the flip plate 3 can be controlled to rotate around the connecting shaft 5 inside the inner cavity of the platform 2, ensuring the stability of the rotation.

[0023] The two linkage gears 6 mesh externally, and their top surfaces are located below the top surfaces of the platform 2 and the flipping plate 3. The engagement of the linkage gears 6 enables the rotation of the flipping plate 3, thereby achieving the folding of the carton.

[0024] The flip plate 3 has a slot for the adapter support 15 near the rear side. The support plate 8 is located above the platform 2, and the flip plate 3 is located outside the platform 2.

[0025] The corrective spring 12 is movably mounted inside the rotating block 13, and the bottom end of the rotating wheel 9 extends downward to the bottom of the support plate 8.

[0026] In summary, this carton binding folding fixture works by first feeding the carton from the rear between platform 2 and support plate 8. The carton then enters below rotating wheel 9, which helps to clamp it, allowing it to move forward continuously. If the carton shifts during its movement, one of the first support springs 11 is compressed, and the other is stretched. The first support spring 11 then has a corrective rebound force, flattening the carton. Simultaneously, the two first support springs 11 ensure the stability of the conveying process. The second support spring 14 works to apply downward pressure to rotating wheel 9, ensuring the bottom of the carton adheres to the top surface of platform 2. After the carton is conveyed to the front of platform 2, the output shaft of servo motor 7, through the engagement of two linkage gears 6, controls the rotation of connecting block 4. This, in turn, drives the flipping plate 3 to flip via connecting shaft 5, thus flipping the carton.
