[0020] Beneficial effects

[0021] This invention provides an automatic folding device for finished sanitary napkins. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0022] (1) The automatic folding equipment for finished sanitary napkins continuously conveys and processes sanitary napkins by setting a first conveyor belt. A folding edge piece for folding the side wings of the sanitary napkin is set above the first conveyor belt. A pressing edge mechanism is set to enhance the overlap between the sanitary napkin and its side wings. A pressing and folding mechanism is set above the tail end of the first conveyor belt to fold the sanitary napkin once. The sanitary napkin after the first fold moves down along the tail end of the first conveyor belt and is folded a second time by the pressing and folding mechanism set below the tail end of the first conveyor belt. Finally, the folded sanitary napkin is automatically output along the third conveyor belt. The entire process can be automatically processed without manual assistance, which improves the production efficiency of sanitary napkins.

[0023] (2) The automatic folding equipment for finished sanitary napkins allows the sanitary napkin to be briefly pressed by the pressure plate in the pressure mechanism before it enters the folding piece and is folded. At this time, the two side wings of the sanitary napkin are blown upward by the air blown by the blower mechanism, so that the main body of the sanitary napkin is close to the first conveyor belt and the two side wings are separated from the first conveyor belt, so that the side wings of the sanitary napkin can smoothly enter the baffle along the inclined plate to complete the folding, and avoid the sanitary napkin from being misaligned and piled up.

[0024] (3) The automatic folding equipment for sanitary napkins sets up a pressing mechanism after the side wings of the sanitary napkin are folded and before the whole folding. This allows the sanitary napkin with folded side wings to be continuously pressed and shaped by the pressing belt in the pressing mechanism during the conveying process, which helps to ensure the quality of the sanitary napkin when it is folded as a whole.

[0025] (4) The automatic folding equipment for finished sanitary napkins, by setting up vertical folding mechanism and horizontal folding mechanism respectively, enables the sanitary napkin to be folded vertically once and horizontally twice, so that the overall conveying direction of the sanitary napkin is horizontal, vertical and then horizontal, so that the conveying direction of the sanitary napkin before and after the processing production line is consistent, and provides space convenience for the use of the packaging equipment of the subsequent production line.

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-9 This invention provides a technical solution: an automatic folding device for finished sanitary napkins, including a main frame 1 and an auxiliary frame 12 fixedly installed as one unit. A first conveyor belt 11 is provided on the main frame 1, and a sanitary napkin 111 is placed at the top of the first conveyor belt 11. A gap is provided between the main frame 1 and the auxiliary frame 12. From left to right, the main frame 1 is provided with a pressure mechanism 2 for pressing the sanitary napkin 111, a folding edge piece 4 for folding the side wings of the sanitary napkin 111, a pressing edge mechanism 5 for enhancing the overlap between the sanitary napkin 111 and its side wings, and two folding mechanisms 6 for folding the sanitary napkin 111 as a whole. The pressure mechanism 2, the folding edge piece 4, the pressing edge mechanism 5 and the folding mechanism 6 located above the first conveyor belt 11 are close together front to back, and the two folding mechanisms 6 are arranged vertically between each other.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first conveyor belt 11 has several slots 112. The pressure mechanism 2 includes a mounting frame 21 fixedly mounted on the main frame 1. A toothed ring plate 22 is movably inserted through the top of the mounting frame 21. A pressure plate 23 is vertically fixedly connected to the bottom of the toothed ring plate 22. Several pulleys 231 are provided at the bottom of the pressure plate 23. The toothed ring plate 22 is a detachable structure. A half gear 24 is meshed in the rack of the toothed ring plate 22. A first motor 25 is mounted on the rear side of the mounting frame 21 to drive the half gear 24 to rotate. The first motor 25 drives the half gear 24 to rotate in the same direction. The continuous rotation of the direction, according to the structure of the half gear 24 and its positional relationship with the toothed ring plate 22, can drive the toothed ring plate 22 to move up and down in a circular motion during the continuous rotation of the half gear 24. The top of the half gear 24 is an arc-shaped structure and the arc-shaped part and the part below it can be disassembled and reassembled, which makes it easy to install and remove it from the mounting bracket 21. Several pulleys 231 are provided at the bottom of the pressure plate 23 to avoid inhibiting the horizontal conveying of the sanitary napkin 111. When the pressure plate 23 presses the sanitary napkin 111, the blower mechanism 3 located directly below the pressure plate 23 blows the side wings of the sanitary napkin 111 upward.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the folding piece 4 includes an inclined plate 41 fixedly connected to the top of the main frame 1. The left end of the inclined plate 41 corresponds vertically to the right end of the pressure plate 23. A baffle 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the inclined plate 41. A baffle 43 is also provided inside the baffle 42. When the two side wings of the sanitary napkin 111 are blown upward by the air blown by the blower mechanism 3, the main body of the sanitary napkin 111 is pressed against the first conveyor belt 11 and the two side wings are separated from the first conveyor belt 11, so that the side wings of the sanitary napkin 111 can smoothly enter the baffle 42 along the inclined plate 41 to complete the folding, and avoid the sanitary napkin from being misaligned and piled up.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the front surface of the main frame 1 is also provided with a blower mechanism 3 located directly in front of the pressure mechanism 2, which is used to blow the side wings of the sanitary napkin 111 upward. The blower mechanism 3 includes a mounting bracket 31 installed on the front side of the main frame 1. A fan 32 is installed on the mounting bracket 31. The air outlet of the fan 32 is fixedly connected to an air duct 33. The other end of the air duct 33 is fixedly connected to an air intake pipe 34. The air intake pipe 34 is located in the interlayer of the first conveyor belt 11, and several exhaust holes 341 are opened on the upper surface of the air intake pipe 34. Since the air intake pipe 34 is located directly below the pressure plate 23, only the sanitary napkin 111 located below the pressure plate 23 will be blown upward by the wind, and will not affect the sanitary napkin 111 in other positions.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the pressing mechanism 5 includes a mounting frame 3 51 installed on the rear side of the main frame 1. The mounting frame 3 51 is respectively equipped with a first roller 52 located in the middle, a second roller 53 located to the lower left of the first roller 52, and a third roller 54 located to the lower right of the first roller 52. The second roller 53 and the third roller 54 are at the same height. Three pressing strips 55 are sleeved on the first roller 52, the second roller 53, and the third roller 54. A second motor 56 is installed on the rear side of the mounting frame 3 51 to drive the first roller 52 to rotate. The second motor 56 drives the first roller 52 to rotate. The roller 52 then drives the second roller 53 and the third roller 54 to rotate via the pressure belt 55. The first roller 52, the second roller 53 and the third roller 54 are arranged in a triangle. The second roller 53 and the third roller 54 are fixed in position to ensure that they are close to the folding edge 4 and the pressing mechanism 6, while the position of the first roller 52 is adjustable to change the tension of the pressure belt 55. When the sanitary napkin 111 with the side wings folded is output to the right along the folding edge 4, it is continuously pressed and shaped by the pressure belt 55 in the pressing mechanism 5, which helps to ensure the quality of the sanitary napkin when it is folded as a whole.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the two folding mechanisms 6 have the same structure and are located at the top and bottom of the first conveyor belt 11, respectively. The folding mechanism 6 located at the top of the first conveyor belt 11 is perpendicular to it and is used to fold the sanitary napkin 111 once. The folding mechanism 6 located at the bottom of the first conveyor belt 11 is parallel to it and is used to fold the sanitary napkin 111 twice. The folding mechanism 6 includes a mounting frame 4 61 mounted on the main frame 1. A cylinder 62 is mounted on the top of the mounting frame 4 61. A fixing plate 63 is fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting frame 4 61. The output axis of the cylinder 62 is downward and movably connected to a lifting rod 64. The lifting rod 64 movably passes through the fixing plate 63 and is fixedly connected to a folding plate 65 at its bottom end. The folding plate 65 is located in the gap between the main frame 1 and the auxiliary frame 12. When the sanitary napkin 111 is conveyed to the right and simultaneously crosses the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 121, the cylinder 62 is activated and drives the lifting rod 64 and the folding plate 65 to move downward once, so that the folding plate 65 presses down the sanitary napkin 111 at this point and folds it once.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the main frame 1 is also equipped with a roller group 7 for conveying the sanitary napkin 111 downwards, and the auxiliary frame 12 is equipped with a third conveyor belt 8 for outputting the folded sanitary napkin 111 horizontally outwards. The roller group 7 consists of two identical rollers, and each of the two rollers is equipped with a first pulley 71 at one end. A vertical belt is sleeved on the two first pulleys 71 to ensure that the two rollers rotate at the same speed and in the same direction. Only one roller needs to be driven externally. The pressing mechanism 6 located below the first conveyor belt 11 has a pressing plate 65 between the two rollers. When the sanitary napkin 111 falls between the roller group 7 after this folding, the cylinder 62 in the horizontal pressing mechanism 6 is activated and drives the lifting rod 64 and the pressing plate 65 to move to the right once, so that the pressing plate 65 presses the sanitary napkin 111 to the right for a second fold.

[0044] The auxiliary frame 12 is equipped with a second conveyor belt 121 at the same height as the top surface of the first conveyor belt 11. The second conveyor belt 121 is used to receive a portion of the sanitary napkins 111 conveyed to the right along the first conveyor belt 11. Each of the two conveyor wheels of the third conveyor belt 8 has a second pulley 81 at one end, and a horizontal belt 82 is fitted onto the two second pulleys 81. One of the conveyor wheels of the third conveyor belt 8 also has a first gear 83 at one end. The top of the first gear 83 meshes with a second gear 84 of the same type. A guide roller located coaxially above the third conveyor belt 8 is mounted on the second gear 84. Below 121, the guide roller and the two rollers of the roller group 7 are the same, and the guide roller and the upper roller of the roller group 7 are corresponding left and right. The first gear 83 and the second gear 84 are the same size and mesh with each other, so that the conveying wheel on the first gear 83 and the guide roller on the second gear 84 rotate at the same speed but in opposite directions. When the sanitary napkin 111 is pressed to the right and folded twice, it is pushed into the middle position of the guide roller on the third conveyor belt 8 and the second gear 84. Finally, it resumes horizontal conveying to the right along the top surface of the third conveyor belt 8, so that the conveying direction of the sanitary napkin processing line before and after is consistent, and provides space convenience for the use of the packaging equipment of the subsequent production line.

[0045] Working principle: The sanitary napkin 111 is conveyed horizontally to the right along the first conveyor belt 11. When the sanitary napkin 111 is conveyed to the area below the pressure plate 23, the first motor 25 is started to drive the half gear 24 to rotate continuously in the same direction. During the continuous rotation of the half gear 24, the toothed ring plate 22 can be driven to move up and down in a cyclical manner. When the pressure plate 23 presses down on the sanitary napkin 111, the blower mechanism 3 located directly below the pressure plate 23 blows the side wings of the sanitary napkin 111 upward, so that the main body of the sanitary napkin 111 is in close contact with the first conveyor belt 11 and the side wings are separated from the first conveyor belt 11. This allows the side wings of the sanitary napkin 111 to smoothly enter the baffle 42 along the inclined plate 41 and complete the folding. When the sanitary napkin 111 with the side wings folded is output to the right along the folding edge 4, it is continuously pressed by the pressure belt 55 in the pressing mechanism 5. The shaping process helps ensure the quality of the sanitary napkin during overall folding. When the sanitary napkin 111 is conveyed to the right and simultaneously crosses the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 121, the cylinder 62 is activated and drives the lifting rod 64 and the pressing plate 65 to move downward once, so that the pressing plate 65 presses down and folds the sanitary napkin 111 at this point. When the sanitary napkin 111 falls between the roller group 7 after being folded in this way, the cylinder 62 in the horizontal pressing mechanism 6 is activated and drives the lifting rod 64 and the pressing plate 65 to move to the right once, so that the pressing plate 65 presses down and folds the sanitary napkin 111 at this point a second time. After the sanitary napkin 111 is pressed down and folded a second time, it is pushed into the middle position of the guide roller on the third conveyor belt 8 and the second gear 84, and finally resumes horizontal conveying to the right along the top surface of the third conveyor belt 8.
