Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of automatic boxing of instructions, and in particular relates to a self-folding folding machine for long instructions. Background Art

[0002] Automation refers to the process by which machines, systems or processes (production and management processes) achieve the desired goals through automatic detection, information processing, analysis and judgment, and manipulation and control without or with little direct human involvement. Automation technology is widely used in industry, agriculture, military, scientific research, transportation, commerce, medical treatment, services and families.

[0003] The protective packaging for contact lenses is all PP cups. Each of these PP cups contains a contact lens protected by a care solution. Therefore, the PP cups are arranged in a horizontal quick-break separation style. Therefore, the outer packaging of these PP cups is also based on the number of PP cups that need to be placed inside the box. The length of the packaging box is selected according to the number of PP cups that need to be placed inside the box, which can facilitate layout, production, packing and logistics.

[0004] Since contact lenses are medical supplies, according to relevant regulations, each contact lens packaged in a paper shell needs to be packed with instructions. Therefore, in order to place the instructions in a small packaging box, the instructions need to be folded into a suitable size before being placed. However, if the entire page of instructions needs to be placed in a small packaging box, the instructions need to be folded multiple times before being placed in the packaging box. However, although the area of ​​the instructions will become smaller after being folded multiple times, it will also make it very easy to rebound and recover. Therefore, the instructions cannot be folded in advance by the machine before entering the packaging machine.

[0005] However, most of the existing packaging machines can only put the folded instruction manual together with the PP cup into the packaging box. Therefore, in order to improve the folding efficiency of the instruction manual, many instruction manual folding devices have appeared on the market. Although the existing instruction manual folding devices have improved the folding efficiency of the instruction manual to a certain extent, the existing instruction manual folding devices are relatively complex in structure and have low practicality. The existing instruction manual folding devices can only perform a one-way folding operation on the instruction manual, so that the folding and conveying of the instruction manual are operated separately, which increases the work procedures, is not simple enough, and cannot be better adapted to the fully automatic packaging machine. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, this paper proposes a self-folding folding machine for long instruction manuals. The folding machine is arranged above the push feed port of the contact lens packaging machine through a main bracket. The main bracket is a vertical bracket. A material rack is obliquely arranged on the upper left side of the main bracket. A material picking arm is arranged below the right outlet end of the material rack. The material picking arm is axially connected to the main bracket. A combined conveyor belt is arranged on the right side of the material picking arm. The combined conveyor belt includes an upper conveyor belt and a lower conveyor belt. There is a conveying gap between the upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt. One end of the conveying gap facing the material picking arm is a primary folding inlet end. A secondary folding component is arranged on the outside of the other end of the conveying gap. The secondary folding component includes a secondary folding feed roller and a folding discharge arm. The secondary folding feed roller The other end is parallel and flush with the conveying gap, a folding limit frame is provided on the rear side of the secondary folding feed roller, a folding discharge arm is provided above the folding limit frame, and a pushing feed port of the contact lens packaging machine is provided below the folding discharge arm. By using a double-layer combined conveyor belt, not only can the instructions be conveyed one by one, but also they can be folded directly in the conveying gap between the combined conveyor belts and pressed, thereby realizing a quick one-time folding, and the secondary folding component can quickly reinforce and flatten the previous crease again through the secondary folding feed roller, and can also convey it continuously, thereby realizing the purpose of folding the instruction manual multiple times through the folding discharge arm, and directly pushing it into the packaging box after folding to prevent it from spreading.

[0007] The front shape of the main bracket is a horizontal T-plate, and a longitudinal support plate is provided in the middle of the main bracket, a conveyor belt shaft frame is provided above the longitudinal support plate, a folding vertical frame is provided on the left side of the conveyor belt shaft frame, a conveyor belt rotating shaft is provided on the inner side of the conveyor belt shaft frame, and a combined conveyor belt is provided on the inner side of the conveyor belt shaft frame. The main bracket is provided with a secondary folding component from the rear side of the right end, a material rack and a material picking arm are provided on the left end surface of the main bracket, and a conveyor belt rotating shaft is provided on the right end surface of the main bracket.

[0008] The material rack is a rectangular disc-type material rack, which is higher on the left and lower on the right and is obliquely arranged on the surface of the main bracket. There are openings on both ends of the left and right sides of the material rack. There are several tooth-shaped folding instructions inside the material rack. The disc-type material rack can be conveniently and quickly filled, and the oblique design can also enable self-service unloading.

[0009] The picking arm is a suction cup type picking arm, and two picking arms are arranged parallel to each other in front and behind. One end of the two picking arms is connected to the main bracket through a rotating shaft. The two picking arms are arranged on both sides of the folding vertical frame. The suction cup end of the picking arm is higher than the top of the folding vertical frame. The suction cup type picking arm can quickly take out a single instruction manual, thereby realizing accurate material transfer. In addition, it is arranged on both sides of the folding vertical frame, so that when it is placed at a folding entrance end, it can directly achieve a half-folded arc effect, and can be naturally flattened up and down after entering the conveyor belt, thereby realizing an efficient folding.

[0010] The upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt are combined conveyor belts that fit each other. The lower bottom surface of the upper conveyor belt and the upper top surface of the lower conveyor belt fit each other. The left and right ends of the upper conveyor belt are both single-axis conveyor belt rotating shafts. The middle inner side and upper side of the upper conveyor belt are both provided with lower pressure shafts. The lower pressure shaft on the middle inner side of the upper conveyor belt is simultaneously pressed down by the upper side of the lower conveyor belt. The left end of the lower conveyor belt is provided with two sets of horizontal conveyor belt rotating shafts, the middle inner side of the lower conveyor belt is provided with a lower pressure shaft, the conveyor belt rotating shaft at the right end of the lower conveyor belt is vertically flush and tangent to the conveyor belt rotating shaft at the right end of the upper conveyor belt, and the lower conveyor belt The conveyor belt shaft on the inner left end is vertically flush with the conveyor belt shaft at the left end of the upper conveyor belt. The upper and lower combined conveyor belts can not only realize the transportation of manuals, but also realize that the feeding arm can be tightly compressed after one folding during feeding, thereby realizing efficient transportation. The lower pressure shaft arranged in the middle can not only tighten the conveyor belt, but also compress the folded manuals in the middle section. The tangency of the conveyor belt shaft at the right end can not only further compress the manuals, but also prevent them from leaking out from the right end, thereby ensuring the stability of the sorting operation.

[0011] The folding limit frame is in the shape of a U-shaped frame, the opening of the folding limit frame is connected to the rear surface of the main bracket, a feed slot is provided at the position where the main bracket is connected to the folding limit frame, a secondary folding feed roller is provided on the inner side of the opening of the folding limit frame, the secondary folding feed roller is an overlapping movable roller, the length between the rear outlet end of the secondary folding feed roller and the inner side of the folding limit frame is one-third of the width of the combined conveyor belt, the folding discharge arm is an electric push rod type reciprocating discharge arm, a downward pressing folding plate is provided at the bottom movable end of the folding discharge arm, the transversely folded instruction manual is folded again in multiple sections longitudinally through the secondary folding component, so as to further reduce the instruction manual, and directly arranging it at the upper end of the box loading port can realize that the folded instruction manual can be directly pressed into the packaging box together with the PP cup of the contact lens.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] By using a double-layer combined conveyor belt, not only can the instructions be conveyed one by one, but they can also be folded directly in the conveying gap between the combined conveyor belts and pressed, thereby achieving a quick first fold. The secondary folding component can quickly reinforce and flatten the previous crease again through the secondary folding feed roller, and can also continuously convey it, thereby achieving the purpose of folding the instruction manual multiple times through the folding discharge arm, and after folding, it is directly pushed into the packaging box to prevent it from spreading.

[0014] The vertical plate-type main support can realize a conveying movement from high to low on the same horizontal plane, thereby ensuring that materials such as instructions that need to be folded multiple times can be folded at multiple angles and in multiple directions, so that a large instruction manual can be folded into the required small portion.

[0015] The disc-type material rack allows for quick filling, and the oblique design also allows for self-service unloading.

[0016] The suction cup-type material picking arm can quickly take out a single instruction manual, thereby achieving accurate material transfer. It is also arranged on both sides of the folding vertical frame, so that it can directly achieve a half-folded arc effect when placed at the folding entrance. After entering the conveyor belt, it can be naturally flattened up and down, thereby achieving an efficient folding.

[0017] The upper and lower combined conveyor belts can not only transport the instructions, but also enable the feeding arm to be tightly compressed after folding once during feeding, thereby achieving efficient transportation. The lower pressure shaft arranged in the middle can not only tighten the conveyor belt, but also compress the folded instructions in the middle section. The tangency of the conveyor belt shaft at the right end can not only further compress the instructions, but also prevent them from leaking out from the right end, thereby ensuring the stability of the sorting operation.

[0018] The instruction manual, which has been folded horizontally, is folded again vertically in multiple sections through the secondary folding component, so that the instruction manual can be further reduced in size. By directly arranging it at the upper end of the box loading opening, the folded instruction manual can be directly pressed into the packaging box together with the PP cup of the contact lens.
