Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine packaging production technology, and more specifically, to a folding and forming device for washing machine packaging production. Background Technology
[0002] As an important protective carrier for washing machines before they leave the factory, the packaging of washing machine packages includes outer cardboard boxes, which are mostly made of five-layer corrugated cardboard and are sized to fit the washing machine. During the production process, the edges of the packaging of washing machine packages need to be folded and formed, such as the folded edges of the top and bottom flaps of the cardboard box and the folded edges of the moisture-proof cardboard. The quality of the folding and forming directly determines the structural stability of the packaging. If the folded edges of the cardboard box are not firm, the box may fall apart during transportation. Traditional edge-folding and forming processes rely heavily on manual feeding. Workers need to move packaging materials, such as cardboard, to the edge-folding station piece by piece, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and susceptible to fatigue. The feeding speed fluctuates greatly, affecting production efficiency. Furthermore, the dimensions of traditional edge-folding mechanisms are fixed, while the packaging dimensions and edge-folding positions of different washing machine models vary greatly, making it impossible to adjust them according to the thickness of the packaging. This results in low adaptability. Therefore, a new edge-folding and forming device for washing machine packaging production is proposed. Utility Model Content
