[0001] This application relates to the field of color box packaging production technology, and more specifically, to a folding device for color box packaging production. Background Technology

[0002] Packaging boxes are boxes used to package products. They can be classified by material, such as cardboard boxes, tin boxes, wooden boxes, and leather boxes. They protect, display, and showcase products and are now widely used in industries such as electronics, food, beverages, wine, and tea, as well as in product packaging and related industries. It is an indispensable industry. Packaging boxes require folding tools during the production process, and packaging box production folding tools are usually used.

[0003] A search revealed that patent number CN206202813U discloses a packaging box folding device. This patent can replace manual labor to automatically fold packaging boxes, greatly reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving the folding efficiency of packaging boxes.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent achieves automatic folding of packaging boxes, manual operation is still required during loading and unloading. Since manual loading and unloading is slow, it is difficult to match the efficient operation of automatic folding, which will lengthen the entire packaging box production cycle, affect the increase in production capacity, and manual operation requires investment in labor costs. Moreover, the consistency of loading and unloading positions and times is poor due to factors such as worker condition, which can easily lead to unstable folding quality and increase the defect rate. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a folding device for the production of color box packaging.

[0006] The folding device for color box packaging production provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A folding device for producing color box packaging includes a workbench, a support column fixedly installed on the top of the workbench, multiple partitions fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support column, an operating cavity formed between every two partitions, and an automation component provided on the top of the support column. The automation components include a rotating ring with multiple suction cup holders on its outer side. The rotating ring drives the multiple suction cup holders to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic loading and unloading of color box packaging boxes.

[0007] Furthermore, a top plate is fixedly installed on the top of the support column, and the top of the top plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating ring. A cavity is opened inside the top plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly installed inside the cavity, and a gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. An internal gear ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring, and the gear meshes with the internal gear ring.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple support frames are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating ring. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of each support frame. The output end of the cylinder passes through the corresponding support frame and is fixedly connected to a connecting rod. The bottom end of each connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding suction cup frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a cardboard placement area is provided on one side of the top of the workbench, and the cardboard placement area is located inside the corresponding operating cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, a material feeding conveyor belt is provided on one side of the top of the workbench, and the material feeding conveyor belt is located inside the corresponding operating chamber.

[0012] The above technical solution enables automatic loading and unloading of color box packaging boxes by having three suction cup frames in the automation component rotate intermittently and synchronously with the rotation ring.

[0013] Furthermore, a folding plate is provided on one side of the top of the workbench. The folding plate is located inside the corresponding operating cavity, and multiple rotating plates are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the folding plate.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the multiple rotating plates is equipped with an electric push rod at its bottom. The bottom end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable. Each rotating plate has a limit groove on the side near the corresponding electric push rod. A slider is slidably connected inside each limit groove, and each slider is hinged to the output end of the corresponding electric push rod.

[0015] With the above technical solution, the automatic folding color box eliminates the need for manual folding throughout the process, reducing the labor intensity of manual operation and avoiding glue contamination or surface damage caused by manual contact with the coated cardboard.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-5 A folding device for producing color box packaging includes a workbench 1, a support column 20 fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1, a plurality of partitions 2 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support column 20, an operating cavity 3 is formed between every two partitions 2, and an automation component is provided on the top of the support column 20. The automation component includes a rotating ring 5, with multiple suction cup holders 11 on the outer side of the rotating ring 5. The rotating ring 5 drives the multiple suction cup holders 11 to rotate by rotating, thereby realizing the automatic loading and unloading of color box packaging boxes.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-5A top plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the support column 20. The top of the top plate 4 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating ring 5. A cavity is opened inside the top plate 4. A motor 7 is fixedly installed inside the cavity. A gear 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7. An internal gear ring 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring 5. The gear 8 meshes with the internal gear ring 6. Multiple support frames 9 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating ring 5. A cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the top of each support frame 9. The output end of the cylinder 10 passes through the corresponding support frame 9 and is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 19. The bottom end of each connecting rod 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding suction cup frame 11. A cardboard placement area 17 is provided on one side of the top of the workbench 1. The cardboard placement area 17 is located inside the corresponding operating cavity 3. A feeding conveyor belt 18 is provided on one side of the top of the workbench 1. The feeding conveyor belt 18 is located inside the corresponding operating cavity 3.

[0022] The suction cup frame 11 is existing technology, specifically the SMCZPT series vacuum suction cup assembly. During loading, when the rotating ring 5 drives the suction cup frame 11 to rotate above the cardboard placement area 17, the cylinder 10 connected to the suction cup frame 11 actuates, extending its piston rod. When the suction cup contacts the cardboard, the control system issues a command, activating the vacuum generator connected to the suction cup frame 11. This rapidly creates negative pressure within the suction cup, causing it to firmly adhere to the cardboard of the color box packaging. Subsequently, the piston rod of the cylinder 10 retracts, lifting the suction cup frame 11 via the connecting rod 19, thus raising the cardboard. Next, the rotating ring 5 continues to rotate, sending the suction cup frame 11 with the cardboard attached to it above the folding station within the operating chamber 3. The cylinder 10 actuates again, lowering the suction cup frame 11 to a suitable height. At this point, the vacuum generator stops working, the suction cup returns to normal pressure, releasing the cardboard and allowing it to fall onto the folding device for folding.

[0023] Furthermore, the multiple suction cup holders 11 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple operating chambers 3.

[0024] The automated components enable automatic loading and unloading of color box packaging boxes during folding. The specific operation method is as follows: First, after the motor 7 is powered on and started, its output end drives the gear 8 to rotate. Because the gear 8 meshes with the inner gear ring 6 on the inner wall of the rotating ring 5, the rotating ring 5 is driven to rotate intermittently on the top plate 4 at a pause once every 120 degrees. When the rotating ring 5 rotates, it drives the three suction cup frames 11 to move synchronously and work at the same time. When the rotating ring 5 stops, the first suction cup frame 11 is exactly above the folding position of the operating chamber 3. At this time, the cylinder 10 connected to it is activated, the piston rod extends and drives the suction cup frame 11 to descend, the vacuum generator stops working and the suction cup releases the folded cardboard box and places it on the feeding conveyor belt 18. The second suction cup holder 11 rotates synchronously to the top of the cardboard placement area 17, the piston rod of the cylinder 10 extends to allow the suction cup to contact the cardboard, the vacuum generator starts to form a negative pressure to adsorb the cardboard, and then the piston rod retracts to lift the cardboard; The third suction cup holder 11 rotates synchronously to the folding station of another operating chamber 3, ready for the next cycle of material feeding, and so on. Among them, the motor 7 provides stable power, and with the meshing transmission of the gear 8 and the internal gear ring 6, it can precisely control the 120-degree intermittent rotation of the rotating ring 5 to ensure positioning accuracy. The intermittent motion design of the rotating ring 5 makes the three suction cup holders 11 have clear division of labor (feeding, picking up, and waiting to be fed), which greatly improves the efficiency of loading and unloading, and further enhances the continuity of production and the degree of automation.

[0025] The three suction cup holders 11 in the automated components work synchronously with the rotating ring 5120 degrees, performing the actions of "discharging material to the unloading conveyor belt 18", "adsorbing cardboard for loading", and "waiting to discharge material to the folding station". With the cooperation of multiple operating chambers 3, each working in turn, the waiting time for manual loading and unloading is avoided, which significantly speeds up the overall production pace. Moreover, the lifting action driven by the cylinder 10 is stable and controllable, and no manual intervention is required throughout the process. This reduces labor costs and the defect rate caused by operational errors, and also reduces the impact of human contact on the appearance of the color box. Ultimately, it achieves a highly efficient, stable, and low-loss automated production process, improving overall production efficiency and product quality consistency.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 A folding plate 12 is provided on one side of the top of the workbench 1. The folding plate 12 is located inside the corresponding operating cavity 3. Multiple rotating plates 13 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the folding plate 12. Each rotating plate 13 is provided with an electric push rod 15 at its bottom. The bottom end of the electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. Each rotating plate 13 has a limit groove 14 on the side near the corresponding electric push rod 15. A slider 16 is slidably connected inside each limit groove 14. Each slider 16 is hinged to the output end of the corresponding electric push rod 15.

[0027] The automatic folding of the color box can be achieved through the folding plate 12. The specific operation is as follows: when the automated component conveys the color box cardboard to be folded (the color box cardboard is cardboard coated with glue) to the folding plate 12 in the operating cavity 3 and places it stably, the control system commands the electric push rod 15 at the bottom of the corresponding rotating plate 13 to start according to the color box folding requirements. The output end of the electric push rod 15 extends upward and pushes the slider 16, which is hinged to it, to slide in the limiting groove 14 of the rotating plate 13. The limiting groove 14 plays a precise guiding role for the sliding trajectory of the slider 16, avoiding the slider 16 from deviating and causing uneven force on the rotating plate 13. At the same time, the pushing force of the electric push rod 15 is transmitted to the rotating plate 13 through the slider 16, causing the rotating plate 13 to rotate upward around the hinge point with the folding plate 12. Multiple rotating plates 13 complete the flipping action synchronously or stepwise according to the color box folding edge design, folding up and sticking the corresponding side of the cardboard, and finally forming a complete color box structure.

[0028] With the automatic folding box setup, no manual folding is required throughout the process. This not only reduces the labor intensity of manual operation and avoids glue contamination or surface damage caused by manual contact with coated cardboard, but also allows the controllability of the electric push rod 15 to flexibly adjust the folding speed according to the production rhythm, adapting to the intermittent operation mode of the automated loading and unloading components, further shortening the production cycle.

[0029] Working principle: First, stack the coated cardboard boxes to be folded on the cardboard placement area 17 of the workbench 1. After starting the device, the motor 7 in the cavity of the top plate 4 is powered on and runs. Its output end drives the gear 8 to rotate. Because the gear 8 meshes with the internal gear ring 6 on the inner wall of the rotating ring 5, it drives the rotating ring 5 to rotate intermittently on the top of the top plate 4, stopping once every 120 degrees. The rotating ring 5 synchronously drives the three suction cup frames 11 connected to the outer wall through the support frame 9, cylinder 10, and connecting rod 19 to move. The three suction cup frames 11 correspond one-to-one with multiple operating chambers 3.

[0030] When the rotating ring 5 stops, the first suction cup frame 11 is located above the folding station of the operating chamber 3. The piston rod of the cylinder 10 connected to it extends, driving the suction cup frame 11 to descend. The vacuum generator stops working, and the suction cup releases the folded color box to the unloading conveyor belt 18, which is then sent away by the conveyor belt. The second suction cup holder 11 rotates synchronously to the top of the cardboard placement area 17, the piston rod of the cylinder 10 extends to make the suction cup contact the cardboard, the vacuum generator starts to form a negative pressure to adsorb the cardboard, and then the piston rod retracts to lift the cardboard. The third suction cup holder 11 rotates to the folding station of another operating chamber 3 to prepare for material loading, and so on to achieve automatic loading and unloading.

[0031] When the suction cup frame 11, which holds the cardboard, delivers the cardboard to the folding plate 12 at the folding station, the cylinder 10 drives the suction cup frame 11 to descend, the vacuum generator stops working and releases the cardboard, which is then placed stably on the folding plate 12. At this time, the control system commands the electric push rod 15 at the bottom of the rotating plate 13 to start, and its output end extends upward, pushing the hinged slider 16 to slide within the limiting groove 14 of the rotating plate 13. The slider 16 transmits the thrust to the rotating plate 13, causing the rotating plate 13 to rotate upward around the hinge point with the folding plate 12. Multiple rotating plates 13 rotate synchronously or in stages according to the color box folding design, folding up and attaching the sides of the cardboard (the glued area is then bonded) to form a complete color box body. After folding, the electric push rod 15 retracts and drives the rotating plate 13 to reset, waiting for the next folding. The entire process realizes continuous automated production of color boxes from automatic feeding, automatic folding to automatic unloading.

[0032] The control system and vacuum generator described above are common technologies in this field, and are not shown in the figure, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0033] All parts not covered in this device are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies.

[0034] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
