Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard box folding and recycling, specifically to cardboard box folding and recycling equipment for boxed materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco processing industry, tobacco stems are typically packaged and transported using specialized cardboard boxes (stem boxes). After fulfilling their initial purpose of containing materials, these stem boxes retain good recycling value. However, unlike ordinary cardboard boxes, stem boxes usually have a separate, reinforcing, and protective inner cardboard lining. This inner cardboard lining must be removed before the stem box can be recycled and folded.

[0003] Currently, the process of removing the inner cardboard lining and subsequent folding is mainly done manually. Operators need to invert, flip, or otherwise adjust the position of the tobacco box to reach inside and retrieve the cardboard. This "flipping and retrieval" action has significant drawbacks: First, the operation is cumbersome, adding unnecessary labor steps and resulting in low board retrieval efficiency; second, the flipping and retrieval actions themselves are time-consuming and labor-intensive, severely slowing down the pace of the entire cardboard box recycling operation and becoming a bottleneck restricting the improvement of recycling efficiency; third, frequent flipping operations also make it difficult to standardize and automate the operation process.

[0004] In view of this, and to address the above problems, a cardboard box folding and recycling device for boxed materials is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cardboard box folding and recycling device for boxed materials, which solves the problems mentioned in the background technology above.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cardboard box folding and recycling device for boxed materials, comprising; frame; A horizontal moving mechanism is mounted on the frame; A lifting mechanism that is slidably connected to the horizontal moving mechanism; A clamping mechanism is installed at the lower part of the lifting mechanism for clamping the carton; The spreading mechanism is installed on the lifting mechanism and located in the middle of the clamping mechanism, and is used to extend into the inside of the clamped carton and push out the inner cardboard lining. A carton folding mechanism is installed on the frame and located beside the moving path of the clamping mechanism. It is used to fold and compact the carton that has been transported here by the clamping mechanism and opened by the spreading mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a fixed plate, a gripper assembly mounted thereon, and an adjusting plate and a clamping pad driven by a first drive cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the spreading mechanism includes a second cylinder located at the bottom of the lifting mechanism, and a spreading member located at the output end of the second cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the carton folding mechanism includes: Support beams fixed to the frame; The tilting frame is mounted on the support beam and is driven by a third drive cylinder. At least one pair of rotatable levers are disposed on the tilting frame, the levers being driven by a fourth drive cylinder; and The suction cups are mounted on the support beam.

[0010] Preferably, the horizontal moving mechanism includes a transmission assembly driven by a first motor, and the lifting mechanism includes a chain and gear assembly driven by a second motor.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a collection frame disposed below the carton folding mechanism.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This cardboard box folding and recycling equipment for boxed materials innovatively integrates the spreading mechanism into the lifting mechanism and positions it in the middle of the clamping mechanism. When the clamping mechanism holds the cardboard box and moves it to the folding station, the spreading mechanism can precisely extend into the box and directly and actively "push out" the inner cardboard lining. This completely overturns the outdated operation mode of relying on manual "flipping and scooping" in the existing technology. This design fundamentally solves the core bottleneck problem of difficult and inefficient removal of the inner cardboard lining, realizes the mechanization and automation of this process, and improves efficiency by orders of magnitude. This cardboard box folding and recycling equipment integrates multiple functional modules such as clamping, transfer, unfolding the inner lining, and folding and compacting into a single frame, forming a continuous and smooth integrated recycling production line. After a single clamping, the entire process from box retrieval and inner lining removal to final folding can be completed, avoiding the process interruptions and time waste caused by multiple handling, flipping, and workstation changes in existing technologies. This greatly shortens the processing cycle of a single cardboard box and significantly improves the overall recycling efficiency. This cardboard box folding and recycling equipment integrates functions and shares space by mounting the clamping mechanism and the opening mechanism on the same lifting mechanism. This makes the overall structure of the equipment more compact and saves floor space. At the same time, the actions of each actuator (such as cylinders and motors) are designed and programmed to ensure accurate sequence and precise coordination. This avoids the uncertainty and arbitrariness of manual operation and ensures that the entire recycling process is stable, reliable, and operates in a standardized and uniform manner.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a cardboard box folding and recycling device for boxed materials; including: Frame 1; Horizontal moving mechanism 2 mounted on frame 1; Lifting mechanism 3 slidably connected to horizontal moving mechanism 2; Among them, the horizontal movement mechanism Clamping mechanism 4 is installed at the lower part of lifting mechanism 3 and is used to clamp cartons; The spreading mechanism 5 is installed on the lifting mechanism 3 and located in the middle of the clamping mechanism 4. It is used to extend into the inside of the clamped carton and push out the inner cardboard lining. The carton folding mechanism 6 is mounted on the frame 1 and located beside the moving path of the clamping mechanism 4. It is used to fold and compact the carton that is transported here by the clamping mechanism 4 and opened by the spreading mechanism 5.

[0017] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a fixed plate 41, a gripper assembly 42 mounted thereon, and an adjusting plate 44 and a clamping pad 45 driven by a first driving cylinder 43. The opening mechanism 5 includes a second cylinder 51 located at the bottom of the lifting mechanism 3, and an opening member 52 located at the output end of the second cylinder 51.

[0018] The carton folding mechanism 6 includes: a support beam 61 fixed to the frame 1; a flipping frame 62 mounted on the support beam 61, the flipping frame 62 being driven by a third drive cylinder 63; at least one pair of rotatable levers 64 disposed on the flipping frame 62, the levers 64 being driven by a fourth drive cylinder; and a suction cup 65 disposed on the support beam 61.

[0019] The horizontal moving mechanism 2 includes a transmission assembly 22 driven by a first motor 21, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a chain gear assembly 32 driven by a second motor 31, and also includes a collection frame 7 disposed below the carton folding mechanism 6.

[0020] Below the clamping mechanism 4 is a conveyor line (not shown in the figure). A lifting device is provided at the conveyor line to lift the carton to a specified height, so that it can move laterally after being clamped by the clamping mechanism 4. The lifting device includes a lifting bracket and a cylinder (not shown in the figure) for driving the lifting bracket to move vertically up and down.

[0021] A station for collecting inner lining cardboard is provided on the right side of the conveyor line, which facilitates the collection and storage of the inner lining cardboard pushed out by the spreading mechanism 4.

[0022] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.

[0023] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows: When in use, empty cardboard boxes to be recycled (such as cigarette stem boxes) are transported by the conveyor line to the initial station below the clamping mechanism 4. The cylinder of the lifting device is activated, driving the lifting bracket to rise and lifting the cardboard box from the conveyor line to the predetermined height. The second motor 31 of the lifting mechanism 3 operates, driving the clamping mechanism 4 to descend to the appropriate position. Subsequently, the first drive cylinder 43 of the clamping mechanism 4 actuates, driving the gripper assemblies 42 on both sides to close, firmly clamping the lifted carton through the clamping pads 45; After the clamping is secure, the lifting device descends and resets, and the first motor 21 of the horizontal moving mechanism 2 starts. Through the transmission component 22, it drives the entire lifting mechanism 3, the clamping mechanism 4 and the cardboard box it clamps, and the spreading mechanism 5 to move horizontally together until the cardboard box is transported to the inner lining collection station. The second cylinder 51 of the spreading mechanism 5 is activated, driving the spreading member 52 at its front end to move forward horizontally, accurately inserting into the inside of the clamped cardboard box, and pushing the inner cardboard back out of the box completely. The pushed-out inner cardboard falls to the collection station below under the action of gravity, completing the separate recycling of the inner cardboard. After the inner lining cardboard is collected, the horizontal moving mechanism 2 is started again, driving the clamping mechanism 4 to hold the empty carton that no longer has an inner lining and continue to move horizontally to the folding station, which is directly in front of the carton folding mechanism 6. First, the vacuum suction cup 65 of the carton folding mechanism 6 is connected to a vacuum, adsorbing one outer side of the carton. Then, the fourth drive cylinder of the drive lever 64 is activated, causing a pair of levers 64 to rotate inward, folding the other two opposite sides of the carton inward. Next, the third drive cylinder 63 is activated, driving the flipping frame 62 to flip downward, using its flat surface to completely flatten and compact the carton that has been initially folded. Finally, the vacuum suction cup 65 is released from the vacuum, and the folded and compacted empty carton falls into the collection frame 7 below under the action of gravity. After folding is completed, the third drive cylinder 63 drives the flipping frame 62 to reset, and the lever 64 rotates outward to reset under the drive of the fourth drive cylinder. The horizontal moving mechanism 2 drives the lifting mechanism 3 and its clamping mechanism 4 and spreading mechanism 5 to move horizontally and return to the initial position. The lifting mechanism 3 also rises to the standby height to prepare for the next work cycle.
