Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 - Figure 7 The paper tray fully automatic folding machine specifically implemented therein includes a frame 1, a folding assembly 2, and several gripping assemblies 3 and feeding assemblies 4. The frame 1 is provided with a support platform 11, and the support platform 11 is provided with a forming mold 12 and a fixing claw 13. The folding assembly 2 includes a forming block 21 and several folding blocks 22 for cooperating with the forming mold 12. The forming block 21 and several folding blocks 22 are respectively mounted on the frame 1 by a driving component 23. The gripping assembly 3 includes a moving module 31 and a gripping claw 32 mounted on the output end of the moving module 31. The feeding assembly 4 includes a pusher plate 41 and an output component 42. The output component 42 is mounted on the frame 1, and the pusher plate 41 is mounted on the output end of the output component 42.

[0029] In operation, the cardboard and base plate to be processed are stacked on the pusher plate 41, and the pusher plate 41 is driven by the output component 42, moving the cardboard and base plate to achieve continuous feeding. Then, the moving module 31 drives the gripper 32 to move, gripping and transferring the base plate onto the support platform 11, and the base plate is secured by the fixing claw 13. Next, the gripper 32 grips and transfers the cardboard onto the base plate. Then, the drive component 23 drives the forming block 21 and folding block 22 to cooperate with the forming mold 12 to fold and form the cardboard. Then, the gripper 32 places another base plate on the folded cardboard and presses it in place, completing the automatic folding and assembly process of the entire paper tray. Finally, the gripper 32 grips and transfers the assembled paper tray to the next process, achieving a fully automated production process.

[0030] The forming mold 12 is slidably mounted on the support platform 11 via power drive components such as cylinders and hydraulic cylinders. In this embodiment, the forming mold 12 is slidably mounted on the support platform 11 by a cylinder drive, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the forming mold 12 on the support platform 11. During processing, the forming mold 12 extends out of the support platform 11 under the drive of the cylinder, thereby cooperating with components such as the folding block 22 and the forming block 21 to complete the folding and assembly of the paper tray. After assembly, the forming mold 12 retracts into the support platform 11 under the drive of the cylinder, so that the assembled paper tray can be smoothly detached from the forming mold 12, facilitating subsequent removal or conveying.

[0031] The output end of the output component 42 is provided with a connecting frame 43 that mates with the pusher plate 41. The pusher plate 41 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 43 by means of bolts or other connections. The connecting frame 43 can be connected to one or more pusher plates 41, thereby driving multiple pusher plates 41 to move synchronously, thus achieving stable conveying of the cardboard and the base plate. In this embodiment, the conveying component 42 is a screw drive module. The screw drive module drives the pusher plate 41 to reciprocate through the connecting frame 43, ensuring that the cardboard and the base plate can be accurately pushed to the designated position.

[0032] Both sides of the connecting frame 43 are equipped with sliders 44, and the frame 1 is equipped with linear guides 14 that cooperate with the sliders 44. Through the cooperation of the sliders 44 and the guides, the pusher plate 41 can be reciprocated in the horizontal direction. This ensures that the pusher plate 41 runs smoothly during movement and avoids inaccurate feeding due to vibration or deviation.

[0033] In this embodiment, two sets of gripping components 3 and feeding components 4 are provided. The two sets of feeding components 4 are used to transport cardboard and base plate respectively, while the two sets of gripping components 3 are responsible for gripping the cardboard and base plate respectively and transferring them sequentially to designated positions on the support platform 11. The cardboard feeding component 4 is horizontally arranged on the frame 1, so that the cardboard can be directly fed to the support platform 11 for subsequent processing without flipping. The base plate feeding component 4 is vertically arranged on one side of the frame 1, thereby realizing vertical feeding of the base plate. Through this dual-station collaborative operation design, production efficiency can be significantly improved, the need for manual intervention can be reduced, and the fully automated operation of paper tray folding can be further realized.

[0034] The frame 1 is provided with a limiting member 15 that cooperates with the pusher plate 41. The limiting member 15 is a limiting rod 151 or a limiting plate 152. The limiting member 15 is slidably installed on the frame 1, and the pusher plate 41 is provided with a limiting groove 411 that cooperates with the limiting member 15.

[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting member 15 used to cooperate with the cardboard is a limiting plate 152. The limiting plate 152 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 by bolts, and the position of the limiting plate 152 corresponds to the conveying path of the cardboard, thereby playing a limiting and guiding role in the cardboard conveying process, ensuring that the cardboard can be accurately conveyed to the designated position on the carrier platform 11.

[0036] The limiting component 15 that cooperates with the base plate is a limiting rod 151. The limiting rod 151 is slidably mounted on the frame 1 through the cooperation of the guide block and the guide rail. The push plate 41 for placing the base plate is provided with a limiting groove 411 that cooperates with the limiting rod 151, thereby controlling the movement range of the limiting rod 151. By adjusting the position of the limiting rod 151, it can adapt to the limiting requirements of base plates of different sizes and specifications, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0037] Both the fixed claw 13 and the gripping claw 32 are composed of a connecting plate 5 and several suction nozzles 6. The connecting plate 5 is fixedly installed on the support platform 11 and the output end of the moving module 31, respectively. The suction nozzles 6 are fixedly installed on the connecting plate 5 by means of bolts or other connections. One end of the suction nozzle 6 is connected to an external air source. By controlling the on and off of the air source, the adsorption and release of cardboard or base plate can be achieved.

[0038] The driving component 23 is either a linear cylinder 231 or a rotary cylinder 232. Driven by the linear cylinder 231 or rotary cylinder 232, the forming block 21 and the folding block 22 move linearly or rotary on the frame 1, thereby completing the folding and forming operations on the cardboard. In this embodiment, four folding blocks 22 are provided. Two folding blocks 22 are slidably mounted on both sides of the cardboard gripper 32 via the linear cylinder 231, and the other two folding blocks 22 are respectively mounted on both sides of the support platform 11 via the linear cylinder 231 and the rotary cylinder 232. The forming block 21 is slidably mounted on one side of the support platform 11 via the linear cylinder 231, opposite to the gripper 32.

[0039] In use, the moving module 31 drives the cardboard on the gripper 32 to adhere to the forming block 21. Then, the linear cylinders 231 on both sides of the gripper 32 drive the folding block 22 to move forward, so that the two ends of the cardboard are bent and abutted against the forming block 21 to form a U-shape. Then, the two ends of the cardboard are successively adhered to the forming block 21 by the sequential driving of the linear cylinder 231 and the rotary cylinder 232. Finally, the forming block 21 presses and shapes the cardboard to fix its shape, thus completing the automatic bending and forming operation of the cardboard.

[0040] The forming block 21 can be used to shape the cardboard through pressing or ultrasonic welding to enhance its structural strength. By replacing different forming blocks 21, cardboard of various shapes and specifications can be processed, thereby meeting the production needs of different products and improving the flexibility and applicability of the equipment.

[0041] The moving module 31 can be either a two-axis linear module 311 or a rotary lifting module 312. The two-axis linear module 311 consists of a lead screw guide mechanism and a telescopic cylinder mechanism. Through the cooperation of these two mechanisms, the gripper 32 achieves precise horizontal movement and positioning. The rotary lifting module 312 consists of a rotary motor mechanism and a lead screw guide mechanism. The rotary motor mechanism drives the gripper 32 to rotate horizontally, and the lead screw guide mechanism enables vertical lifting adjustment of the gripper 32.

[0042] In this embodiment, the rotary lifting module 312 enables precise vertical lifting and horizontal rotation positioning of the base plate gripper 32. The two-axis linear module 311 enables precise horizontal movement and positioning of the cardboard gripper 32. Through the coordinated operation of the rotary lifting module 312 and the two-axis linear module 311, precise alignment and assembly of the cardboard and the base plate are achieved.

[0043] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Automatic feeding of paper material is achieved through the cooperation of the pusher plate 41 and the output component 42. Subsequently, the paper material is folded and assembled through the coordinated operation of the forming mold 12, the fixing claw 13, the gripping component and the folding component 2, thereby effectively replacing traditional manual operation, realizing automated continuous production, and improving production efficiency and product consistency.
