Description

Automatic folding system

The present invention relates to an automatic carton folding system, and more particularly to a system that can greatly save manpower resources, thereby reducing the burden of manpower costs on businesses, and making the entire packaging line smoother, greatly increasing product packaging efficiency, and reducing the space occupied by empty cartons. At the same time, through labels attached to cartons, various data information on the product production and shipping process uploaded to a big data database stored in the cloud can be queried, thereby increasing the practicality and efficacy of the overall implementation and use.

There are many products on the market that are generally packaged in cartons when they are sold. Packaging products in cartons not only protects the integrity of the products, making them less likely to be damaged by external forces and ensuring the safety of the products, but also facilitates the movement, storage and transportation of the products.

Before such cartons are shipped out of the factory and not used, in order to effectively save the space occupied by empty cartons, they are generally stacked in a flat state without being unfolded; therefore, before using such cartons to package and seal various products, the cartons must first be manually unfolded and folded, and after the bottom of the carton is glued and sealed, the product is placed in the carton, and finally the top of the carton is sealed to complete the packing operation.

However, although the above-mentioned manual method of unfolding and folding cartons and packaging products can achieve the expected effect of facilitating product shipment, it has been found in its actual implementation that it has the following disadvantages:

1. The method of manually unfolding and folding cartons and packaging products not only consumes more manpower resources, but also increases the overall labor cost expenditure.

2. The empty cartons that are unfolded and folded manually take up a lot of space. Not only does it require a large space in the entire packaging site to push the unfolded empty cartons, but it also causes the unfolded and folded empty cartons to easily affect the product packaging flow, thereby reducing the efficiency of the packaging operation.

In addition, after various products are manually unfolded, folded and packaged in cartons, various data are generally recorded manually when the products are shipped, which easily causes various data to be fragmented and lost. This is not only not conducive to analysis and utilization, but also extremely inconvenient in overall management, resulting in room for improvement in the overall packaging and shipping step design.

Therefore, the inventor, in view of this, has adhered to the rich design development and actual manufacturing experience in the relevant industry for many years, and has further researched and improved it to provide an automatic folding box system in order to achieve the purpose of better practical value.
