Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pattern making and cutting machine technology, and more specifically, to a portable multi-functional pattern making and cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In packaging design, printing production, and handicraft art creation, designers often need to quickly test proofs of different paper sizes to verify folding structures, binding methods, or three-dimensional effects. Traditional processes rely on scattered tools (such as utility knives, steel rulers, and creasing tools), which are cumbersome, inaccurate, and inefficient, time-consuming, and difficult to complete multiple processes at once. While existing large-scale CNC equipment can automate processing, it is bulky, expensive, and space-consuming, making it unsuitable for teaching settings or small studios. Therefore, we propose a portable, multi-functional proofing and folding machine. Utility Model Content

The positioning mold box, combined with a special pressing mold, adopts a quick-release structure. Utilizing magnetic adsorption, it achieves rapid positioning of the packaging substrate between the pressing mold and the positioning mold box. Furthermore, the replaceable pressing mold allows for quick replacement of standard parts of different sizes and shapes, and is compatible with various paper materials. Based on a multi-axis linear motor linkage mechanism, it achieves precise path planning in three-dimensional space, ensuring the stability of continuous processing of complex fold lines.

[0005] 2. Technical Solution

[0006] This application provides a portable multi-functional sample cutting and folding machine, comprising: a base, the upper surface of which is provided with a placement slot and a touch display; a positioning mold box is detachably installed in the placement slot; a magnetic plate is fixed to the bottom surface of the positioning mold box by bolts; a pressing mold is magnetically connected to the inner bottom surface of the positioning mold box through the magnetic plate; packaging paper is sandwiched between the pressing mold and the inner bottom surface of the positioning mold box; a multi-axis track mechanism is fixed on the base, and a cutting and folding mechanism is installed on the multi-axis track mechanism for cutting, creasing, and folding the packaging paper; and an outer cover is detachably installed on the base outside the multi-axis track mechanism.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, this proofing and folding machine achieves a compact desktop design through the connection design of the base and outer cover, providing dust protection and portability. A touch screen on the base supports graphical interactive operation, allowing access to visual communication designs. It can import vector path files drawn by AI / CDR software, automatically generating the machine's motion trajectory through algorithmic analysis. The curved edges of gift boxes drawn by designers can be accurately converted into laser cutting paths, ensuring zero-error cutting of complex shapes. A high-precision placement slot is also included for installing replaceable positioning molds. A magnetic plate is installed at the bottom of the positioning mold, ensuring quick and convenient positioning and installation of molds of different specifications within the mold. The magnetic plate magnetically attracts the mold, achieving flat and tight compression of the packaging paper between the mold and the positioning mold. The multi-axis track mechanism integrated on the base, equipped with an intelligent cutting and folding mechanism, can automatically complete complex processes such as cutting, creasing, and folding. The overall design balances desktop-level space adaptability with industrial-grade processing precision, meeting the rapid proofing needs of the visual communication field.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, the silicone anti-slip pad provides good overall stability. The outer cover is made of composite board through in-mold injection molding, which ensures transparency for observation of the processing status and effectively blocks UV radiation from potentially harming the operator's eyes. The concave groove design allows the outer cover to better connect with the machine base, ensuring the connection strength between the outer cover and the machine base.

[0010] Optionally, the outer cover has a processing window at the front and a handle is fixed to the upper surface of the outer cover.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the ergonomic handle facilitates the portability of the entire device, and the processing window at the front of the outer cover facilitates the handling of packaging paper and the replacement of the molding die.

[0012] Optionally, the multi-axis track mechanism includes a vertical linear motor track, a horizontal transverse linear motor track sliding on the vertical track, and a horizontal longitudinal linear motor track sliding on the horizontal transverse track.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the slide is connected to the convex plate through the guide rod structure, and the laser cutting head and the creasing wheel are integrated on the convex plate. The slide is driven by the multi-axis track mechanism to perform three-axis linkage, so that the creasing wheel can elastically press the packaging paper, and the creasing wheel moves along a preset path along a specific die to form a precise creasing fold line, so as to facilitate the folding operation. The laser cutting head moves along the preset path to form a precise cutting process.

The slide block 51 is connected to the convex plate 55 through a guide rod structure, and the laser cutting head 56 and the creasing wheel 58 are integrated on the convex plate 55. The slide block 51 is driven by the multi-axis track mechanism 4 to perform three-axis linkage, so that the creasing wheel 58 can elastically press the packaging paper, and the creasing wheel 58 moves along a preset path along a specific pressing mold 7 to form a precise creasing fold line to facilitate the folding operation. The laser cutting head 56 moves along the preset path to form a precise cutting process.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The guide rod structure includes a slide rod 54 and a spring 541 sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 54.

The magnetic strip 73 is magnetically connected to the magnetic plate 63. Through the modular injection-molded structural design of the mold 7, the mold 7 can adopt special shapes and sizes to adapt to the cutting and processing of different packaging papers. The mold 7 also has grooves and screw holes at both ends for embedding and installing the magnetic strip 73, which are used to position and install the magnetic strip 73. The magnetic clamping mechanism allows for the rapid clamping of packaging paper.

[0042] Working principle: After the user sets the processing parameters via the touch screen 2, the equipment executes the following steps in sequence: First, the packaging paper is laid flat in the positioning mold box 6. The pressing mold 7 is magnetically connected to the magnetic plate 63 using the magnetic strip 73, so that the packaging paper is flat and confined between the positioning mold box 6 and the pressing mold 7. Next, the working origin is automatically calibrated according to the selected specifications of the positioning mold box 6. Then, the laser cutting head 56 performs high-speed cutting and separation of the irregular contour along the tangent groove 71 set on the edge of the pressing mold 7. Finally, the horizontal and transverse linear electric... The machine track 42 moves vertically along the vertical linear motor track 41, driving the slide 51 to move downwards. This causes the creasing wheel 58 installed at the bottom of the U-shaped seat 57 to elastically press the packaging paper under the action of the guide rod structure. The creasing wheel 58 moves along the folding creasing 74 on the specific pressing mold 7 to form a precise creasing fold line, which facilitates the folding operation. Finally, the pressing mold 7 is removed, and the cut packaging paper and waste are taken away. The entire process is ensured by the X / Y / Z three-axis coordinated motion of the multi-axis track mechanism 4 to achieve high-speed and stable processing.
