Abstract
A box folding machine includes a base driving member, a pair of positioning units, and a base frame unit that has two opposite end portions. The base driving member is operable to drive the base frame unit to move between a first position, in which the end portions of the base frame unit are substantially arranged along a first direction, and a second position, in which the end portions of the base frame unit are substantially arranged along a second direction. Each of the positioning units includes a positioning seat. When the base frame unit is in the first position, the positioning seats of the positioning units are proximate to each other in the second direction and are misaligned from each other. When the base frame unit is in the second position, the positioning seats are distal from each other in the second direction.
Claims5
A box folding machine comprising:
- a machine frame;
- a base driving member mounted to the machine frame;
- a base frame unit rotatably mounted to the machine frame and having two opposite end portions, the base driving member being operable to drive the base frame unit to move between a first position, in which the end portions of the base frame unit are substantially arranged along a first direction, and a second position, in which the end portions of the base frame unit are substantially arranged along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction;
- a pair of positioning units respectively and rotatably disposed adjacent to the end portions of the base frame unit, each of the positioning units including a positioning seat, and at least one vacuum suction member that is disposed on the positioning seat, when the base frame unit is in the first position, the positioning seats of the positioning units being proximate to each other in the second direction and being misaligned from each other in the second direction, when the base frame unit is in the second position, the positioning seats being distal from each other in the second direction and being substantially aligned with each other in the second direction;
- a pair of pushing units mounted to the machine frame and spaced apart from each other in the first direction, each of the pushing units including a standing frame, a pushing member that is rotatably mounted to the standing frame, and a pushing driving member that is mounted to the standing frame and the pushing member, the pushing member of each of the pushing units having a frame-mounting end that is rotatably mounted to the standing frame, and a moving end opposite to the frame-mounting end, for each of the pushing units, the pushing driving member being operable to drive the pushing member to convert between an initial state, in which the moving end of the pushing member is proximate to the standing frame, and a pushing state, in which the moving end of the pushing member is distal from the standing frame;
- and
- a pair of guide frame units mounted to the machine frame, each of the guide frame units including a guide frame that is pivotably mounted to the machine frame, and at least one guide driving member that is mounted to the machine frame and the guide frame, the guide frame of each of the guide frame units having a pivot end that is pivotably mounted to the machine frame, and a guide rod that is opposite to the pivot end and that is located between the pushing units, the guide driving members of the guide frame units being operable to drive the guide frames of the guide frame units to convert between an open state, in which the guide rods of the guide frames are distal from each other, and a close state, in which the guide rods of the guide frames are proximate to each other.
