Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example:

[0018] This utility model provides a folding box machine for automatic bending of cardboard boxes on an industrial production line. Compared with manual bending, it saves manpower, ensures the accuracy of the operation process, reduces the error rate, and improves product production efficiency and yield. To realize the structural function of the device, the device includes a machine base 1, on which a storage mechanism 2 for storing cardboard, a support frame 3, a folding mechanism, and a transfer module 13 are provided. The storage mechanism 2 is used to store cardboard to be folded. The support frame 3 is provided with a transport component 4 for placing the cardboard at the position of the storage mechanism 2 at the position of the folding mechanism. The transport component 4 may include corresponding action modules and suction cup structures for adsorbing and transporting the cardboard. In order to perform the bending action of the cardboard, the support frame 3 is also provided with a clamping component for pressing the cardboard onto the folding mechanism. When clamping, the corresponding suction cup should disconnect the adsorption action. Through the alternating action of the transport component 4 and the clamping component, the cardboard transport and loading actions can be efficiently realized. To achieve the bending of the cardboard, a folding mechanism is provided, including two parallel side baffles 8 arranged on the machine base 1. A lifting module 14 is fixedly installed at the output end of the transfer module 13, and a U-shaped groove frame 15 is fixedly installed at the output end of the lifting module 14. The U-shaped groove frame 15 can move between the two side baffles 8, forming a "U"-shaped groove between the two side baffles 8. This allows the pressing component to press the bottom plate of the cardboard into the "U"-shaped groove when pressing the cardboard, thereby achieving the bending of the cardboard. The bending of the side panels on all four sides achieves the initial bending action of the four walls of the cardboard. In order to ensure the stable formation of the cardboard box, a first side panel bending assembly and a second side panel bending assembly are arranged on the machine 1 along the extension direction of the side baffle 8. The first side panel bending assembly is used to fold the flange of the side wall of the U-shaped slot frame 15 inward, and the second side panel bending assembly is used to fold the top edge of the side wall of the side baffle 8 inward, thereby forming the corresponding flange structure after the cardboard box is folded, which is used to ensure the stability of the cardboard box folding and forming. With the above-described mechanism, the bottom of the U-shaped slot 15 is higher than the top of the side baffle 8 in its initial position. This allows the side walls of the cardboard box to be folded up after the pressing assembly presses down the cardboard. Then, the first side plate bending assembly bends the flanges of these two side walls inwards. As the pressing assembly continues to descend, the other two opposing side walls of the cardboard are released from the side baffle 8 and bent relative to each other. These two side walls then cover the flanges. Finally, the cardboard is conveyed by the transfer module 13 to the position of the second side plate bending assembly for bending, ultimately forming a stable contact surface structure between the boxes. This facilitates material unloading and subsequent manual gluing. With this mechanism, the device can achieve rapid cardboard box folding without manual intervention, improving work efficiency and the yield rate of cardboard box folding production.

[0019] This utility model provides a box folding machine, specifically a first side panel bending assembly. To fold the raised edges of the box body inwards, the first side panel bending assembly includes first folding units respectively disposed on both sides of two side baffles 8. Each first folding unit includes a first horizontal rail 9 and two folding plates 10 disposed on the first horizontal rail 9 that can move closer or further apart. Simultaneously, the first horizontal rail 9 is slidably disposed on a first vertical rail 11. This configuration allows the folding plates 10 to move in both the horizontal and vertical directions. After the fastening assembly fastens the cardboard into the U-shaped groove frame 15, the cardboard on both sides causes the raised edges of the cardboard to curl upwards. The folding plates 10 then fold inwards through the horizontal... The folding plate 10 is adjusted in both the horizontal and vertical directions to allow the raised edges to bend inwards. These edges are used to bond the other two sides without raised edges, thus forming a stable box structure. To control the movement of the corresponding folding plate 10, the first folding unit also includes several driving components for driving the folding plate 10 to move horizontally and vertically. The specific implementation of these driving components is not limited. After the folding plate 10 completes the inward bending of the edges, the clamping component continues to clamp so that the other two sides of the cardboard are acted upon by the side baffles 8, thereby achieving a pre-folding action on the other two sides of the cardboard, thus protecting the adhesive surface of the inwardly folded edges, facilitating subsequent transportation of the cardboard box and other processing actions. To prevent the folding plate 10 from tilting forward during operation, which would prevent the folding plate 10 from being bent independently, a stop block 12 is provided at the middle position of the first horizontal rail 9. The width of the stop block 12 is not greater than the width of the folded cardboard box. Thus, when bending and flanging, the stop block 12 is moved to the middle of the two side plates to abut against each other, and then the folding plates 10 on both sides move inward, thereby ensuring accurate force application for bending.

[0020] This utility model provides a box-folding machine, specifically a second side panel bending assembly. Specifically, the second side panel bending assembly includes second folding units respectively disposed on both sides of two side baffles 8. Each second folding unit includes a cylinder 22 and a driving assembly for driving the cylinder 22 closer to or further away from the side baffles 8. The cylinder 22 is slidably mounted on a second longitudinal rail 19, and a lifting and lowering pressure block 23 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the cylinder 22. Figure 4 As shown, after the cardboard box is moved to the position of the second side panel bending assembly, the cylinder 22 and the corresponding drive assembly drive the pressure block 23 to press the top panel with its side walls raised inward, thereby ensuring that both sides of the top panel can be folded to form a nearly complete box structure. To ensure the stability of the cardboard folding on both sides of the top edge, a second folding unit can also be provided, including a second horizontal rail 18, such as... Figure 4As shown, two auxiliary supports 20 are slidably arranged on the second horizontal rail 18, which can move closer or further apart from each other. Each auxiliary support 20 is equipped with a limiting claw 21. The second horizontal rail 18 is slidably arranged on the second vertical rail 19. The second folding unit also includes a driving mechanism for driving the two auxiliary supports 20 to move closer or further apart from each other. Through the configuration of the driving mechanism, the second vertical rail 19 and the second horizontal rail 18, the limiting claw 21 can also move in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Thus, when the pressure block 23 is in action, it can constrain and position the paper box, preventing the paper box from opening and causing the pressure block 23 to be inaccurate in its position, thereby improving the accuracy of the operation.

[0021] This utility model provides a box folding machine. To facilitate the U-shaped slot frame 15 adapting to different paper box sizes for constraint, the U-shaped slot frame 15 can be configured to include a base plate 1501 and a slidingly adjustable adjusting plate 1502 disposed on the base plate 1501. Figure 8 As shown, a limiting block 1503 can be set on the adjusting plate 1502 and the base plate 1501 respectively, with the two limiting blocks 1503 arranged opposite each other. When the required size of the cardboard box is different, the position of the two limiting blocks 1503 can be changed directly by adjusting the position of the adjusting plate 1502. Through the abutting action of the limiting blocks 1503, the initial folding action of the cardboard is achieved. In order to ensure that the cardboard can be positioned and conveyed by the U-shaped groove frame 15 after being pressed down by the clamping component, an air nozzle 16 for adsorbing the cardboard box can be set on the base plate 1501 between the two limiting blocks 1503. The negative pressure provided by the air nozzle 16 adsorbs the bottom surface of the cardboard box, ensuring that the cardboard box will not fall off the U-shaped groove frame 15 during the movement.

[0022] This utility model provides a box folding machine, specifically a fastening method for a fastening component. Specifically, the fastening component includes a fixed plate 5 fixedly installed on a support frame 3. A downward driving component 6 (such as a cylinder) is installed on the fixed plate 5. An adsorption plate 7 is fixedly installed at the output end of the downward driving component 6. A conveying component 4 is used to convey the cardboard to the position below the adsorption plate 7. Note the configuration of the adsorption plate 7's dimensions: its length should be less than the distance between the two side baffles 8, and its width should be less than the distance between the two limiting blocks 1503, ensuring that it only acts on the bottom of the box when in operation.

[0023] The present invention provides a box folding machine. In order to facilitate the removal of the folded pre-formed paper box from the equipment, a conveying mechanism 17 for adsorbing and transporting the paper box is provided on the machine base 1 and downstream of the side baffle 8. It can have a corresponding suction cup structure for gripping, and the specific form is not further limited here.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
