[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] First Embodiment

[0027] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of the automated folding fork folding device provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the support frame shown; Figure 3 for Figure 2 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A shown below; Figure 4 for Figure 3 The enlarged schematic diagram of section B is shown. The automated folding fork folding device includes: a support frame 1, a moving device 2, a lifting device 3, a limiting ring 4, a discharging device 5, and a collection box 6;

[0028] The mobile device 2 is fixedly installed on both sides of the support frame 1, the lifting device 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the support frame 1, the limiting ring 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the output end of the lifting device 3, and the collection box 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the support frame 1.

[0029] The discharge device 5 includes a moving groove 51, a moving plate 52, multiple reset components 53, and a discharge port 54. The moving groove 51 is opened inside the support frame 1. The moving plate 52 is slidably connected to the inside of the moving groove 51. The multiple reset components 53 are all arranged inside the moving groove 51. The discharge port 54 is opened inside the moving plate 52.

[0030] The support frame 1, together with the moving device 2 and the lifting device 3, constitutes a folding device conventionally used in the prior art. The moving device 2 includes a cylinder, a moving frame and a circular rod. The cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 1, and the output end of the cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the moving frame. The circular rod is fixedly installed on one side of the moving frame and is used to push the moving frame connected to the circular rod to one side after the cylinder is activated, thereby pushing and bending the folding fork transported by the robotic arm to one side.

[0031] The lifting device 3 includes a cylinder, a lifting plate, and multiple pressing rods. The cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 1, the lifting plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder, and one end of each of the multiple pressing rods is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate and slidably connected to the inside of the support frame 1. It is used to press the bent folding fork by moving the lifting plate connected to the multiple pressing rods first when the cylinder is activated, so that the folding fork is locked together.

[0032] The limiting ring 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressing rod. When the pressing rod moves downward, it causes the limiting ring 4 to move downward, thus pressing the moving plate 52.

[0033] The outer surface of the movable plate 52 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the movable groove 51.

[0034] The reset element 53 is a spring, which is disposed inside the moving groove 51.

[0035] The reset element 53 can also be a spring.

[0036] The discharge device 5 also includes a plurality of movable holes 55 and a plurality of movable rods 56. The plurality of movable holes 55 are all opened inside the support frame 1, and the plurality of movable rods 56 are slidably connected to the interior of the plurality of movable holes 55.

[0037] One end of each of the multiple moving rods 56 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the moving plate 52. When the reset member 53 is a spring, the multiple springs are respectively sleeved on the surface of the multiple moving rods 56. When the reset member 53 is a spring sheet, it is located at a certain position on one side of the multiple moving rods 56.

[0038] When the movable plate 52 moves, it drives the movable rod 56 to move inside the movable hole 55, increasing the stability of the movable plate 52 when it moves.

[0039] The working principle of the automated folding fork folding device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0040] In use, the folding fork is folded by the moving device 2 and the lifting device 3. When the lifting device 3 is moved upward, it drives multiple limiting rings 4 to move upward, thereby causing multiple reset pieces 53 to push the moving plate 52 to move upward and reset inside the moving groove 51. When the lifting device 3 drives the multiple limiting rings 4 to move downward and reset, it drives the moving plate 52 to move downward inside the moving groove 51, while squeezing the multiple reset pieces 53. Through the above steps, the moving plate 52 vibrates, causing the debris falling on the moving plate 52 to move to one side and be discharged into the collection box 6 through the discharge port 54 for storage.

[0041] Compared with related technologies, the automated folding fork folding device provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0042] This utility model provides an automated folding device for folding forks. The device 5 collects the debris that falls off the folding fork when it is folded by the moving device 2 and the lifting device 3, and discharges it into the collection box 6 for storage. This makes it easier for workers to clean up the debris quickly and increases work efficiency.
