Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of the hairdressing industry, and in particular to an automatic foil folding and cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Foil perm is a technique that uses foil to curl hair by hand, creating individual strands of curl that are free-flowing yet not messy. It also makes the hair lighter, more airy, and dynamic, resulting in a stylish yet understated look.
[0003] The current foil perm procedure involves the stylist, based on their experience, pulling the foil roll to a certain length, cutting it into sheets, and then wrapping the hair with the sheets. Because this process is entirely manual, it prolongs the overall perming time. Similarly, during hair coloring or highlighting, the foil roll needs to be stretched to a certain length before the hair is laid on the foil, dye is applied, and then the foil is folded. This also prolongs the overall coloring and highlighting time.
[0004] Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem solved by the present invention is to address the deficiencies in the prior art by providing an automatic foil folding and cutting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] Furthermore, the downward protrusion of the first convex strip is greater than the downward protrusion of the second convex strip.
[0009] Furthermore, the lid is provided with a pressure strip, which is located on one side of the second folding forming strip. The pressure strip and the second folding forming strip are spaced apart to form a second channel. When the lid rotates toward the lower box body, the pressure strip presses down the foil, and the cutting serrations are placed in the second channel to cut the foil.
[0010] Furthermore, the panel is provided with rollers, which are disposed on one side of the outlet and are used to guide the tin foil.
[0011] Furthermore, the rolling assembly includes a roller shaft and clamps respectively installed at both ends of the roller shaft, the clamps being used to fix the two ends of the foil roll.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "several" or "more than" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

Moreover, "above," "over," and "on top" of a second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" of a second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0038] In view of the technical problems described in the background art, such as Figure 1-9As shown, an automatic foil folding and cutting device is provided, comprising: a lower box body 1 having a receiving space; a rolling assembly 2 disposed within the receiving space for mounting a foil roll; a panel 3 detachably connected to the lower box body 1, the panel 3 having an outlet 4 for pulling out the foil; and cutting serrations 5 disposed on one side of the outlet 4 for cutting the foil. A first folding forming strip 6 is disposed on one side of the cutting serration 5, and is used to bend the tin foil to form a folded edge; a box cover 7 is hinged on one side to one side of the lower box body 1, and the box body can rotate relative to the lower box body 1; a second folding forming strip 8 is provided on the box cover 7; wherein, when the box cover 7 rotates toward the lower box body 1 to fasten the box, the second folding forming strip 8 cooperates with the first folding forming strip 6 to bend the tin foil and the cutting serration 5 cuts the tin foil.
[0039] During use, the foil roll consists of a hollow paper tube and foil wrapped around it. The foil roll is fixed to the rolling assembly 2, which is then installed within the receiving space of the lower box 1. The foil roll is led out to the outlet 4 on the panel 3, which closes onto the lower box 1. When the hairstylist uses it, they pull the foil out to a suitable length from the outlet 4 and press the lid 7 onto the panel 3. The cutting serrations 5 on the panel 3 cut the foil. The first folding edge forming strip 6 on the panel 3 and the second folding edge forming strip 8 on the lid 7 work together to form a bent fold at the cut point.
[0040] Using the above technical solution, the hairstylist only needs to pull the foil to any length to cut it and create the required bends, facilitating the wrapping and wrapping of the client's hair, effectively shortening the perming time and improving efficiency. Alternatively, the hairstylist can automatically stretch and cut the foil according to the length of the client's hair, using a plate and bending mechanism to lay the client's hair on the foil and apply dye, shortening the cutting and bending time of the foil, effectively reducing the time for dyeing and highlighting. The fold width is typically 1 cm, but it can also be controlled according to the hairstylist's needs, adjusting the fold width formed by the first and second shaping strips.
[0041] like Figure 6-9 As shown, the first folding forming strip 6 protrudes upwards, and the thickness of the first folding forming strip 6 gradually decreases from bottom to top; the second folding forming strip 8 protrudes downwards, and the second folding forming strip 8 includes a first protrusion 9 and a second protrusion 10, and the first protrusion 9 and the second protrusion 10 are spaced apart to form a first groove 11 for folding the foil edge; wherein, when the box cover 7 rotates toward the lower box body 1, the first folding forming strip 6 is placed in the first groove 11.
[0042] The above specifically provides an implementable first folding forming strip 6 structure and a second folding forming strip 8 structure. In use, when the lid 7 is closed on the lower box body 1, the first folding forming strip 6 is placed within the first channel 11, and the first folding forming strip 6 adheres to the first protrusion 9 and the second protrusion 10 to form a folded edge. Simultaneously, the cutting serrations 5 cut the tin foil.
[0043] Preferably, the downward protrusion length of the first protrusion 9 is greater than the downward protrusion length of the second protrusion 10. Utilizing the longer first protrusion 9 to adhere to the first folding forming strip 6 makes it easier to form a folded edge.
[0044] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the box cover 7 is provided with a pressure strip 12, which is disposed on one side of the second folding forming strip 8. The pressure strip 12 and the second folding forming strip 8 are spaced apart to form a second channel 13. When the box cover 7 rotates toward the lower box body 1, the pressure strip 12 presses the foil, and the cutting serration 5 is placed in the second channel 13 to cut the foil.
[0045] To facilitate cutting the tin foil, a pressure strip 12 is provided on the second folding forming strip 8. When the box cover 7 is closed on the lower box body 1, the pressure strip 12 presses the tin foil tightly, making it easier for the cutting saw 5 to cut the tin foil, and the cutting is more convenient.
[0046] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the panel 3 is provided with a roller 14, which is located on one side of the outlet 4 and is used to guide the tin foil. Bearings are provided on both sides of the roller 14 and connected to the panel 3. During the process of pulling out the tin foil, the surface of the tin foil contacts the surface of the roller 14, which can guide the tin foil and reduce friction by rolling, making the pulling process smoother.
[0047] like Figure 10-11 As shown, the rolling assembly 2 includes a roller 15 and clamps 16 respectively installed at both ends of the roller 15. The clamps 16 are used to fix the two ends of the tin foil roll.
[0048] The above provides an implementable structure for the rolling assembly 2. In use, after the tin foil roll is loaded into the roller shaft 15, the tin foil roll is clamped and positioned by the clamps 16 at both ends to complete the installation operation.
[0049] The clip 16 includes an end piece 17 for contacting the end face of the foil roll and a fixing part 18 connected to the end piece 17. The fixing part 18 extends radially along the end piece 17 to accommodate foil rolls of different lengths. An elastic piece 19 is provided on the circumferential surface of the fixing part 18 to accommodate foil rolls with different apertures.
[0050] Specifically, due to the varying widths of tin foil rolls (typically around 19 cm wide and 100 meters long), the clip 16 is designed to accommodate rolls of different widths. A radially extending fixing part 18 is incorporated into the clip 16, which is embedded within the paper tube of the tin foil roll, accommodating rolls of a certain width. Furthermore, since the inner diameter of the paper tube varies, an elastic piece 19 is designed on the circumference of the fixing part 18. During installation, the elastic piece 19 contracts radially inward, fitting into the paper tube of the tin foil roll. The elastic piece 19 then returns to its original position, elastically fixing itself to the inner wall of the paper tube, thus adapting to tin foil rolls with a certain inner diameter range, such as 3cm-4cm. This structural design allows for the use of tin foil rolls of all sizes available for perming and dyeing, meeting various usage requirements.
[0051] Reference Figure 12-13 As shown, the lower box body 1 has receiving openings 20 on both sides for accommodating the roller shaft 15. The receiving openings 20 have upward openings and elastic cards 21 are provided at the positions of the receiving openings 20. The cards 21 are used to fix the roller shaft 15 in the receiving openings 20.
[0052] To facilitate the fixation of the rolling assembly 2 and make its rolling process smoother, the roller 15 of the rolling assembly 2 is positioned at the receiving opening 20. Under the action of applied force, the roller 15 is pressed against the bottom of the receiving opening 20. At the same time, the position card 21 at the receiving opening 20 provides elastic positioning for the roller 15, which facilitates the stable rolling of the tin foil roll.
[0053] refer to Figure 2-3 As shown, the lid 7 and the lower box body 1 are hinged by a torsion spring. Fasteners 22 are respectively hinged to both sides of the lower box body 1. The fasteners 22 rotate to fasten the lid 7. When the fasteners 22 are released from the lid 7, the lid 7 rotates and opens relative to the lower box body 1 under the force of the torsion spring.
[0054] To further facilitate use, the lid 7 and the lower box 1 are connected by a torsion spring. When in use, when the hairstylist opens the fasteners 22 on both sides, the lid 7 will automatically pop open under the force of the torsion spring, and the hairstylist can directly pull out the foil.
[0055] Preferably, the bottom surface of the lower box 1 is provided with suction cups for adsorption and fixation. The suction cups facilitate placement and allow hairstylists to fix it in a suitable position according to their needs. (The suction cups are not shown in the attached drawings.)
[0056] The above does not limit the technical scope of the present invention in any way. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the technical scope of the present invention.
