The printing
paper tape longitudinal folding device comprises a triangular plate which is obliquely arranged, and a plurality of vent holes are formed in the triangular plate; the back of the triangular plate is connected with a sealing plate, and a plurality of air chambers are formed between the sealing plate and the triangular plate and communicated with an external air source. An arc-shaped
nose plate is fixedly connected to the lowest tip end of the triangular plate. The air path ball valves correspond to the air chambers in a one-to-one mode, the state of the
paper tape can be finely adjusted, set-off is avoided, the paper feeding precision is improved, and the technical problem that paper is often set-off and wrinkled in the longitudinal folding process of an existing folding
machine is solved. The invention further discloses a printing
paper tape longitudinal folding method, the printing paper tape longitudinal folding device is adopted, the vortex
air pump is started, the corresponding air path
ball valve is adjusted according to the size of the
air chamber, high-pressure air is conveyed into the
air chamber and sprayed out along the vent holes to form an air film, and the paper tape is attached to the air film on the surface of the triangular plate through the circular shaft. The two sides of the paper tape slowly move towards the
nose plate along the conical shaft and then enter the paper touching roller, and longitudinal folding of the paper tape is completed.
