In the box cover folding mechanism positioned on one side of the upper side edge of the paper box, the box cover folding component is positioned above the sealing station, the output end of the box cover folding component faces downwards, and the output end of the box cover folding component downwards presses the box cover to enable the box cover to be downwards turned. in the box cover folding mechanism positioned on one side of the lower side edge of the paper box, the box cover folding component is positioned below the sealing station, the output end of the box cover folding component faces upwards, and the output end of the box cover folding component presses the box cover upwards to enable the box cover to be turned upwards. The lid folding mechanism on one side of the lower side edge of the carton will be described below as an example, i.e., the lid folding assembly is located below the sealing station, and the lid folding mechanism on the other side will not be described. In the box cover folding mechanism, a box cover folding component comprises a box cover folding cylinder 64 and a box cover folding push rod 65 arranged at the output end of the box cover folding cylinder 64, wherein the output end of the box cover folding push rod 65 faces to a steel needle 66, a positioning step 651 is arranged at the end part of the output end of the box cover folding push rod 65 and is used for being matched with the steel needle 66, when the paper box is conveyed to a sealing station, the box cover is positioned below the steel needle 66, when the box cover folding cylinder 64 drives the box cover folding push rod 65 to output upwards, the box cover folding push rod 65 pushes the box cover to turn upwards, the axial direction of the steel needle 66 is consistent with the track direction of a linear through hole slideway 13, the position of the steel needle 66 is consistent with the folding line of the box cover, and a cover tongue 74 is arranged at the front side of the folding line of the box cover, and after the box cover contacts the steel needle 66, the box cover folding push rod 65 is matched with the steel needle 66 to enable the cover tongue 74 at the end of the box cover to be folded towards the opening of the paper box. Further, the lid press assembly movement presses the lid into the carton opening, and in the embodiment shown, the lid press assembly includes a lid press block 67, and a lid press cylinder 68 that drives the lid press block 67. The cap press-fitting cylinder 68 drives the cap press-fitting block 67 toward or away from the carton opening. As described above, in the lid folding step, the position of the steel needle 66 is consistent with the folding line of the lid, so that the steel needle 66 is far away from the opening of the carton at this time, and the steel needle 66 is located inside the lid, for example, the constant position of the steel needle 66 cannot press the lid into the opening of the carton, so that the steel needle 66 needs to be movably disposed to be able to approach or separate from the opening of the carton. In the illustrated version, the steel needle 66 is provided on a press-fit assist slider 661, the press-fit assist slider 661 being driven by a press-fit assist cylinder 662 so that the steel needle 66 can be moved closer to or farther from the carton opening. As shown, the front wing guide stopper 62 is also provided on the press-fit auxiliary slider 661. Further, since the lid press-fitting block 67 needs to pass through the lid press-fitting push rod 65, the lid press-fitting block 67 is provided with a notch 671 adapted to the lid press-fitting push rod 65, and the lid press-fitting block 67 is matched with the steel needle 66 to clamp the lid after passing through the lid press-fitting push rod 65 during operation, and the lid press-fitting block 67 and the steel needle 66 operate synchronously to press-fit the lid into the paper box. in order to ensure that the end of the box cover always turns over towards the opening of the paper box, the box cover press-fitting block 67 is provided with a notch 672 matched with the steel needle 66.
After the box cover is pressed, although the end part of the box cover is positioned in the paper box, the steel needle 66 is also penetrated into the box cover, so that the box cover cannot be completely pressed into the paper box to finish boxing by the structure, and the box cover needs to be further subjected to fine pressing. As described above, after the completion of the processing of the above-mentioned sealing station, the positioning mechanism is released from the positioning, the front push plate 51 pushes the carton on the sealing station to the coining station, and since the axial direction of the steel needle 66 coincides with the track direction of the straight through hole slideway 13, the steel needle 66 is withdrawn from the inside of the carton cover during the pushing of the carton to the coining station, and the coining mechanism coines the carton on the coining station, completing all the boxing steps. The coining mechanism as shown includes a coining cylinder 691, and a coining block 692 disposed on the output end of the coining cylinder 691.
