Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for foam box applications, and in particular to a rotating structure for foam boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Foam boxes are widely used in planting, fruit and fresh produce transportation, and goods packaging due to their advantages such as low cost, light weight, and good insulation. In planting, traditional foam boxes, when used for planting plants, are difficult to adjust due to long-term fixed placement, resulting in plants receiving light on one side only, affecting photosynthetic efficiency, causing uneven plant growth, and reducing yield. In packaging, when sealing foam boxes, such as applying tape, the traditional method is mostly manual wrapping, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee the uniformity and firmness of the tape application. If automatic sealing equipment is used, the existing equipment has a relatively simple method for fixing and rotating foam boxes, which is difficult to adapt to the needs of foam boxes of different sizes, and the equipment structure is complex and costly.

[0003] Regarding the above and existing related technologies, the inventor believes that the following defects often exist: Since the angle of the traditional foam box body is adjusted manually, that is, by manually moving or flipping the foam box one by one to change the orientation of the plants, this method not only consumes a lot of time and energy when planting a large number of plants, but also makes it difficult to achieve frequent and timely angle adjustments. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantage that the angle of the traditional foam box body is adjusted manually, that is, it relies on manual movement or flipping of the foam box to change the orientation of the plants. To this end, we propose a foam box rotating structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a rotating structure for a foam box, comprising a base, an adjustment device on the surface of the base, the adjustment device comprising two fixing plates, both fixing plates being fixedly connected to the surface of the base, a round rod slidably inserted into each of the two fixing plates, a connecting plate fixedly connected to one end of the round rod, a rotating plate fixedly connected to the end of the round rod away from the connecting plate, a screw threadedly inserted into the connecting plate, a clamping plate rotatably connected to one end of the screw, a hexagonal plate fixedly connected to the end of the screw away from the clamping plate, a square plate fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate, a threaded groove on the surface of the square plate, a threaded rod threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove of the square plate, a semi-circular frame fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod, the inner surface of the semi-circular frame abutting against the round rod.

[0006] Preferably, a limiting rod is slidably inserted into the connecting plate, and one end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the clamping plate.

[0007] Preferably, a placement plate is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate away from the connecting plate, and the size of the threaded rod is adapted to the size of the threaded groove of the square plate.

[0008] Preferably, a flat hook and loop fastener is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate away from the connecting plate, and the flat hook and loop fastener is adhered with a rough hook and loop fastener.

[0009] Preferably, a sponge is fixedly connected to the side of the hook and loop fastener away from the flat hook and loop fastener, and the sponge is made of natural sponge material.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the base has two sliding grooves, and the inner wall of the sliding groove is provided with a clamping device. The clamping device includes four sliding blocks, all of which are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. The four sliding blocks are arranged in pairs, and a movable plate is fixedly connected to the surface of each pair of sliding blocks.

[0011] Preferably, a friction pad is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate, and the size of the setting rod is adapted to the size of the setting groove of the base.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1.

[0021] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a foam box rotating structure, including a base 1. The surface of the base 1 is provided with an adjustment device 2. By setting the adjustment device 2, the angle of the foam box can be quickly adjusted, avoiding the traditional method of manually adjusting the angle of the foam box body, that is, relying on manual movement or flipping of the foam box to change the orientation of the plants. When planting a large number of plants, this method not only consumes a lot of time and energy, but also makes it difficult to achieve frequent and timely angle adjustments. The surface of the base 1 has two sliding grooves, and the inner wall of the sliding groove of the base 1 is provided with a clamping device 3. By setting the clamping device 3, the stability of the base 1 is increased. The installation of counterweights can effectively balance the center of gravity of the base 1 as the center of gravity of the foam box changes, and ensure that the base 1 always remains stable.

[0023] The specific settings and functions of the adjustment device 2 and the clamping device 3 will be described in detail below.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in this embodiment: the adjusting device 2 includes two fixing plates 201, both of which are fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1. A round rod 202 is slidably inserted into each of the two fixing plates 201. One end of the round rod 202 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 203, and the end of the round rod 202 away from the connecting plate 203 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 204. A screw 205 is threaded into the connecting plate 203. One end of the screw 205 is rotatably connected to a clamping plate 206, and the end of the screw 205 away from the clamping plate 206 is fixedly connected to... A hexagonal plate 207 is attached, and a square plate 208 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 201. The surface of the square plate 208 has a threaded groove, and a threaded rod 209 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove. One end of the threaded rod 209 is fixedly connected to a semi-circular frame 210, and the inner surface of the semi-circular frame 210 abuts against the round rod 202. A limiting rod 211 is slidably inserted into the connecting plate 203, and one end of the limiting rod 211 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 206. The purpose of installing the limiting rod 211 is to prevent the clamping plate 206 from moving... The rotation of screw 205 makes the movement path of clamping plate 206 more stable. A placement plate 212 is fixedly connected to the side of clamping plate 206 away from connecting plate 203. The dimensions of threaded rod 209 are adapted to the dimensions of the threaded groove of square plate 208. The placement plate 212 not only provides stable support for workers to place the foam box to be clamped, but also allows for quick positioning of the foam box's clamping position, reducing alignment and adjustment time. A flat Velcro strap 2 is fixedly connected to the side of clamping plate 206 away from connecting plate 203. 13. Flat hook and loop fastener 213 is attached to a rough hook and loop fastener 214. The hook and loop fasteners can be attached to both sides, making it convenient for users to remove and replace them. The operation is extremely simple and can be completed easily without the need for complicated tools. On the side of the rough hook and loop fastener 214 away from the flat hook and loop fastener 213, a sponge 215 is fixedly connected. The sponge 215 is made of natural sponge 215 material. The sponge 215 itself has the characteristic of elastic deformation, which can transform the concentrated force applied by the clamping plate 206 into a uniformly distributed surface force, effectively dispersing the clamping pressure on the foam box.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the clamping device 3 includes four sliding blocks 31, all of which are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove of the base 1. The four sliding blocks 31 are arranged in pairs, and a moving plate 32 is fixedly connected to the surface of each pair of sliding blocks 31. A long plate 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving plate 32. A setting rod 34 is threaded into the long plate 33. A handle 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the setting rod 34. Several setting grooves are opened on the surface of the base 1. The setting rod 34 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the setting groove. A friction pad 36 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving plate 32. The size of the setting rod 34 is adapted to the size of the setting groove of the base 1. The friction pad 36 has a rough surface and is elastic, which can significantly increase the friction between the moving plate 32 and the counterweight.

[0026] Working principle: When the operator needs to adjust the angle of the foam box, first place the foam box on the left and right placement plates 212, then rotate the hexagonal plates 207 on both sides forward. The hexagonal plates 207 will drive the screw 205 to rotate forward, and the screw 205 will drive the clamping plate 206 to rotate forward until it is clamped. Then rotate the rotating plate 204, which will drive the round rod 202 to rotate. The round rod 202 will drive the connecting plate 203 to rotate, and the connecting plate 203 will drive the screw 205 and the limiting rod 211 to rotate. The screw 205 and the limiting rod 211 will drive the clamping plate 206 to rotate. 6. Rotate the clamping plate 206 to rotate the foam box until it is adjusted to the angle required by the staff. Then rotate the threaded rod 209 downward. The threaded rod 209 drives the semi-circular frame 210 to move downward and abut against the round rod 202 to limit it. By setting the adjustment device 2, the effect of quickly adjusting the angle of the foam box is achieved. This avoids the problem that the angle of the traditional foam box body is adjusted manually, that is, relying on manual movement or flipping of the foam box to change the orientation of the plant. When planting a large number of plants, this method not only consumes a lot of time and energy, but also makes it difficult to achieve frequent and timely angle adjustments.

[0027] When the staff needs to clamp the counterweight, they first place the counterweight on the surface of the base 1, and then push the moving plates 32 on the left and right sides forward. The moving plates 32 drive the sliding block 31, the elongated plate 33, the setting rod 34, the handle 35 and the friction pad 36 forward until they contact the counterweight and clamp it. Then, they rotate the handle 35 downward, which drives the setting rod 34 to rotate downward until it enters the setting groove of the base 1, limiting the moving plate 32. By setting the clamping device 3, the stability of the base 1 is increased. Installing the counterweight can effectively balance the center of gravity of the base 1 as the center of gravity of the foam box changes, and ensure that the base 1 always remains stable.

[0028] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
