Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field related to cosmetic production, in particular to a facial mask folding and bagging mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the number of cosmetic brands and types has increased rapidly. With the development of the cosmetics industry, facial masks have gradually become an everyday cosmetic item, with sales increasing annually. Consequently, various facial masks have emerged on the market, with folding methods also evolving according to different usage scenarios. Given the enormous demand for facial mask production and packaging, semi-automatic and manual production methods are completely unable to meet market demand.

[0003] Traditionally, facial masks are folded and bagged using a single machine. Because each process flow is relatively independent, manual transfer between different production sites is required. This results in a high labor load and low productivity per worker. Furthermore, the low capacity of the original equipment limits production capacity, making traditional production methods inefficient, labor-intensive, and unable to meet the needs of mass production.

[0004] Using a single machine to fold and bag facial masks requires manual placement of the masks on the machine for folding and bagging. This manual handling of the masks involves touching each piece, causing secondary contamination. Consumers are increasingly demanding quality in the facial mask market, and this secondary contamination caused by direct manual contact with the masks is unacceptable.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of mask folding and bagging mechanism to effectively make up for the domestic demand for this function, which can not only improve production efficiency, but also be convenient to connect to the downstream production line and be compatible with a variety of mask folding forms. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the contents of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the present application.

[0039] This embodiment provides a facial mask folding and bagging mechanism, which is mainly used for folding and bagging facial masks.

[0040] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The mask folding and bagging mechanism provided in this embodiment mainly includes the following seven parts:

[0041] Facial mask conveying part 1, facial mask one-folding part 2, facial mask one-folding conveying part 3, facial mask two-folding part 4, facial mask clamping and conveying part 5, facial mask three-folding part 6 and facial mask bagging part 7.

[0042] The structure and functional principles of each part are as follows.

[0043] The main function of the mask conveying part 1 is to receive the cut mask face shape and convey it forward to the mask folding part 2. Specifically, the mask falls flat onto the output belt of the mask conveying part 1 and is conveyed by the conveyor belt to the bottom of the folding knife 8 of the mask folding part 2.

[0044] The main functions of the mask folding part 2 are: the mask folding part 2 is the place where the mask face shape is folded for the first time. After the mask face shape is conveyed by the previous mask conveying part 1, the folding knife 8 moves back and forth up and down to fold the mask face shape in half once. At the same time, under the downward force of the folding knife 8, the mask enters the mask folding conveying part 3.

[0045] The main function of the mask folding conveying part 3 is: after the face shape of the mask is folded once, the folded face shape is inserted into the belt of the mask folding conveying part 3, and the belt of the mask folding conveying part 3 conveys the face shape of the mask downward, and the mask moving downward passes through the corresponding position of the mask folding part 4 in turn.

[0046] The main functions of the mask two-fold part 4 are: the mask two-fold part 4 consists of three two-fold knives 9 at the top, middle and bottom. When the mask is moved downward through the corresponding positions of the mask two-fold part 4 in sequence, the three two-fold knives 9 of the mask two-fold part 4 will move respectively, inserting the mask forward in sequence into the mask clamping part 5, and completing the second folding of the mask at the same time.

[0047] The main functions of the mask feeding section 5 are as follows: the mask feeding section 5 is composed of three layers of belts: upper, middle, and lower. Each layer of belts corresponds to the two-fold inserts 9 of the mask two-fold section 4. The two-fold inserts 9 insert the mask into the corresponding belt. The mask feeding belts on each layer transport the two-folded mask to the mask three-fold section 6. To ensure the compactness of the structure of this mechanism, the belts of the mask feeding section 5 are arranged in an L-shape as a whole, so that the mask is transported forward and to the right. The three mask outlets corresponding to the three belt ends are staggered to facilitate the third folding of the mask.

[0048] The main function of the mask trifold section 6 is as follows: the mask trifold section 6 is also divided into three groups of trifold blades 10: upper, middle and lower. The face mask is transported by the mask clamping and conveying section 5 to the mask trifold section 6. The three side trifold blades 10 of the mask trifold section 6 insert the face mask into the mask bag section 7 in an orderly manner, completing the third fold of the mask.

[0049] The main functions of the mask bagging part 7 are as follows: the mask bagging part 7 is composed of three groups of splints 11 of different lengths, and the three groups of splints 11 are driven up and down by three servo motors respectively. When the face shape of the mask is inserted into the splints 11, the three groups of splints 11 move downward respectively. After the splints 11 clamp the mask and put it into the bag, the splints 11 are released, and the three-folded mask is placed into the bag. The up and down movement of the splints 11 is controlled by a private servo motor, and the clamping and releasing movements can be controlled by a cylinder or other mechanical clamping means.

[0050] In this embodiment, the main working process of the mask folding and bagging mechanism is as follows:

[0051] The facial mask is cut by a rolling cutter and conveyed backward through the mask conveyor section 1 to the mask folding section 2. The folding blades 8 of the mask folding section 2 sequentially fold the mask and insert it into the belt of the mask folding conveyor section 3. The belt of the mask folding conveyor section 3 then moves downward with the once-folded mask. The three folding blades 9 of the mask folding section 4 sequentially fold the mask a second time and insert it into the mask clamping section 5. The mask clamping section 5 compacts the twice-folded mask and conveys it backward. The conveyed mask undergoes a third fold at the exit of the mask clamping section 5. The folding blades 10 of the mask folding section 6 insert the mask output from the mask clamping section 5 sideways into the mask bagging section 7. The mask bagging section 7 moves downward and places the triple-folded mask into the mask bag, completing the entire production process.

[0052] The mask folding and bagging mechanism provided in this embodiment can realize the fully automatic folding and bagging of the mask, which can greatly improve the mask production efficiency. Figure 3 , the mask folding into the bag mechanism can realize a variety of folding methods, such as Figure 4 (a) shows the three-fold form, Figure 4(b) The envelope folding form shown, etc.
