[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a shaping fixture for a panel is provided, including a panel body 1 and a folding plate 2. The panel body 1 defines an internal space 3 for accommodating an item. The top of the panel body 1 is provided as a top opening 4 and the sides of the panel body 1 are provided as side openings 5. Both the top opening 4 and the side openings 5 ​​communicate with the internal space 3 to allow the panel to enter or exit from the top or side. The folding plate 2 is foldably connected to the panel body 1. The folding plate 2 is folded from the side openings toward the internal space 3 to change the shape of the internal space 3 and shape the panel into a specific box structure.

[0038] The shaping fixture provided by this utility model provides basic shaping for the board through the plate body 1, effectively improving the shaping efficiency. The plate body 1 structure, with openings on both the top and sides, allows the board to be quickly inserted or removed from multiple directions, enhancing operational convenience. The folding plate 2 can fold from the side opening 5 towards the internal space 3, reducing the opening degree of the internal space 3, thereby guiding and limiting the board, achieving precise shaping. It also replaces the traditional manual shaping method, saving labor costs and improving shaping consistency and packaging stability.

[0039] Specifically, the plate 1 includes a base plate 10 and side plates 6. The base plate 10 serves as a supporting foundation for supporting the plate; the side plates 6 are installed around the edge of the base plate 10 to define the internal space 3, with an unobstructed top opening forming the top of the side plates 6 and an unobstructed side opening forming one side of the side plates 6. A folding plate 2 is movably disposed within the side opening of the base plate 10, and the folding plate 2 folds from the side opening toward the internal space 3, cooperating with the side plates 6 to change the shape of the internal space 3, thereby extruding and shaping the plate.

[0040] Preferably, the side panel 6 includes at least one side plate 7, which is foldably connected to the bottom plate 10. This facilitates the unfolding and storage of the panel 1, improving space utilization. After the panel is folded, the fixture can be restored to a flat shape by unfolding not only the folding plate 2 but also the side plate 7, thus easily removing the formed box structure.

[0041] Specifically, adjacent side panels 7 are respectively designated as a first side block 8 and a second side block 9. The first side block 8 is provided with a fixing block 17, and the second side block 9 is provided with a locking slot 18 for engaging with the fixing block 17. This enables rapid assembly and disassembly of the side panels 7, effectively improving the flexibility and stability of the shaping fixture.

[0042] Preferably, the base plate 10 includes a first mounting plate 11 and a second mounting plate 12 arranged along its length, with the first mounting plate 11 detachably mounted on the side of the second mounting plate 12. This detachable design allows the two mounting plates to be stored independently or stacked, facilitating warehousing management and transportation. Furthermore, when a mounting plate is damaged, the damaged plate can be replaced directly without replacing the entire base plate 10, effectively reducing maintenance costs.

[0043] Specifically, the first mounting plate 11 has a positioning groove 13 on its mating surface facing the second mounting plate 12, and the second mounting plate 12 has a positioning protrusion 19 for fitting into the positioning groove 13 on its mating surface facing the first mounting plate 11. This achieves rapid alignment and stable connection between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12, improving the splicing effect of the base plate 10.

[0044] Preferably, a predetermined gap 14 is provided between the end of the folding stroke of the folding plate 2 and the edge of the side opening 5. The predetermined gap 14 prevents excessive compression from damaging the plate. The predetermined gap 14 provides sufficient room for the folding plate 2 to move, preventing the folding plate 2 from getting stuck with the side plate 6 during folding, ensuring smooth folding action, and thus further improving the shaping speed.

[0045] Preferably, the plate 1 is provided with a limiting plate 15 on the folding path of the corresponding folding plate 2. The limiting plate 15 is used to control the minimum folding angle of the folding plate 2. Through the function of the limiting plate 15, the plate 1 can be pre-folded at a certain angle before folding, thereby changing from a flat state to a pre-folded state, which facilitates the subsequent quick and stable completion of the folding action and avoids damage to the plate 1 caused by folding directly from the flat state.

[0046] In practical use, some panels may have hard materials at the corners, which can easily cause structural damage if folded quickly by machine. The setting of the limiting plate 15 can effectively alleviate this problem and improve the safety and reliability of the folding process.

[0047] The shaping fixture also includes a drive assembly 16 connected between the plate 1 and the folding plate 2. The drive assembly 16 is used to drive the folding plate 2 to fold.

[0048] Specifically, the drive assembly 16 consists of a drive source 161 (such as a cylinder), a pull rod 162, and at least one hinge 163, wherein the hinge 163 can also be replaced by a rotatable part such as a rotating shaft 165. The drive source 161 is fixed to the plate 1, the hinge 163 connects the plate 1 and the folding plate 2, and the two ends of the pull rod 162 are movably connected to the folding plate 2 and the output end of the drive source 161, respectively. This design uses the linear motion of the cylinder to precisely pull the folding plate 2 to complete automatic folding and resetting, which not only significantly improves operating efficiency and positioning effect, reduces manual intervention, and enhances the automation and stability of shaping operations, but also effectively saves working space and adapts to diverse production scenarios.

[0049] In this embodiment, a connecting block 164 can be installed at the output end of the drive source 161, and the pull rod 162 is directly connected to the connecting block 164 and the folding plate 2 through the rotating shaft 165.

[0050] The folding process of this utility model is as follows: The plate to be shaped is placed into the internal space 3 of the plate body 1 from the top or side. Under the action of the limiting plate 15, the folding plate 2 forms a pre-folding angle. Then, the drive source 161 is activated to push the pull rod 162, causing the folding plate 2 to rotate along the hinge 163 and fold from the side opening towards the internal space 3. As the folding action proceeds, the folding plate 2 and the side plate 6 work together to apply uniform pressure to the plate, guiding and assisting it to move towards the bottom plate 10, and gradually shaping it into the desired box structure. After shaping, the products to be boxed can be placed inside, and then the box is sealed. Afterwards, the shaped box can be quickly removed by unfolding the side plate 7 and the folding plate 2.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
