[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] Please see attached Figure 1 As shown: a glove folding device for folding TPE gloves and then packaging them. The glove folding device includes a frame 10, a carrying and conveying platform 20, a first folding mechanism 30, a pressure folding mechanism and a tape packaging mechanism 40.

[0025] The frame 10 is a common rectangular frame 10 structure with sheet metal on the outside and moving wheels on the bottom. A control device is provided inside the frame 10 to control the operation of folding and packaging gloves. The automatic control part of the control device can be specifically set by a person skilled in the art according to the requirements of the glove folding process, the structure and working process of the glove folding device described below, and will not be described in detail here. The frame 10 mainly plays a supporting role, and is used to support the components such as the carrying conveying platform 20, the first folding mechanism 30, the pressure folding mechanism and the belt making and packaging mechanism 40.

[0026] The carrying and conveying platform 20 is mainly used to carry and convey TPE gloves. The carrying and conveying platform 20 includes a carrying and receiving element that is slidably arranged on the frame 10 and is provided with a through slot and a driving linear module arranged on the inner side of the frame 10; the driving linear module can drive the carrying and receiving element to move back and forth, so as to achieve docking with the glove forming equipment to transport the formed gloves to the first folding mechanism 30 for folding. Of course, in other embodiments, the carrying and conveying platform 20 can also be an assembly line in the form of a belt or a plate chain. In the working state, the driving linear module drives the carrying and receiving element to move to the station of the glove forming equipment, receives the formed gloves A and gloves B, and then reverses the action to transport them to the bottom of the feed port of the first folding mechanism 30. Specifically, in this embodiment, gloves A and gloves B are both TPE gloves. The TPE gloves are folded multiple times into a square shape by the first folding mechanism 30 and the pressure folding mechanism, and then pushed into the tape packaging mechanism 40 for packaging and forming. Of course, in other embodiments, gloves A and gloves B can also be structures such as film gloves.

[0027] The first folding mechanism 30 is used to fold the gloves for the first, second, fourth and fifth times, so that the gloves become a square shape for subsequent packaging. The first folding mechanism 30 in this example is a prior art and is well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Please also read Figure 2 As shown, a pressure-type folding mechanism is used for folding the gloves for the third time, and the pressure-type folding mechanism includes a folding slide 1 and a pressure belt assembly 2 which is retractably inserted on the folding slide 1; the two sides of the folding slide 1 are provided with a first pushing assembly 3 and a second pushing assembly 4 which can move closer to or away from each other; specifically, when folding for the third time, the first pushing assembly 3 and the second pushing assembly 4 move closer to each other at the entrance of the folding slide 1 and clamp the gloves, and then because the thrust of the first pushing assembly 3 is greater than that of the second pushing assembly 4, the first pushing assembly 3 continues to push the second pushing assembly 4 to move the gloves into the inner side of the folding slide 1 while always keeping the gloves pressed, thereby effectively ensuring the folding quality.

[0029] Specifically: when the gloves enter the feeding port of the folding slide, the first pushing assembly 3 and the second pushing assembly 4 are pushed out at the same time to clamp the gloves. Then, because the thrust of the first pushing assembly 3 is greater than that of the second pushing assembly 4, the first pushing assembly 3 continues to squeeze the second pushing assembly 4 to retract it. During the retraction process, the gloves are driven by the first pushing assembly 3 to slide from the entrance of the folding slide to the other end to go out. In addition, the folding of the gloves is completed. The whole process is convenient and fast to operate, and the cost is low. Moreover, the gloves are always tightly clamped when pushing and folding, which effectively avoids the problems caused by gravity and smooth surface.

[0030] Based on the above embodiment, the first pushing assembly 3 includes a pushing cylinder 31; a pushing plate 32 is provided at the output end of the pushing cylinder 31; the pushing plate 32 is movably inserted into the folding slide 1 through a fixture 33; the pushing cylinder 31 can drive the pushing plate 32 to reciprocate back and forth to support the output end of the second pushing assembly 4.

[0031] Based on the above embodiment, the push plate 32 is provided with a U-shaped groove;

[0032] The second pushing assembly 4 includes a second pushing bracket 41; the second pushing bracket 41 is provided with a second pushing cylinder 42 which can reciprocate and extend in the horizontal direction; the output end of the second pushing cylinder 42 is connected to a top plate 43; the second pushing cylinder 42 can drive the top plate 43 to be inserted back and forth in the folding slide 1.

[0033] Based on the above embodiment, the thickness of the push plate 32 is much smaller than that of the top plate 43, so as to ensure accurate surface contact each time of pressing, and avoid misalignment and quality degradation;

[0034] The top plate 43 is provided with a second recessed groove in the middle.

[0035] On the basis of the above embodiment, the folding slide 1 includes a first guide plate 11 and a second guide plate 12 arranged in parallel, and the adjacent first guide plates 11 and second guide plates 12 are connected by a support plate 13, so that when folding gloves of the same type but different thicknesses, the overall structure can be used almost without changing, especially when the product is updated quickly. For example, when changing a film glove to a TPE glove, it is sufficient to adjust the distance between the second guide plate 12 and the first guide plate 11, so that gloves of different thicknesses can be folded; the first guide plate 11 and the second guide plate 12 are arranged on one side of an arc near the first pusher assembly 3.

[0036] Based on the above embodiment, a through rectangular hole is provided on the first guide plate 11; second guide blocks are symmetrically provided on both sides of the rectangular hole;

[0037] The belt pressing assembly 2 includes a Z-shaped bracket; a pen-shaped cylinder is fixedly mounted on the Z-shaped bracket; and a rubber pressure block is provided at the output end of the pen-shaped cylinder. Of course, in other embodiments, the belt pressing assembly 2 can also be an electric or cylinder type or a reciprocating linear moving mechanical structure, which is not specifically limited here.

[0038] The strip packaging mechanism 40 is used to fold the bag film in half to form a packaging bag and then transport it to the output end of the first folding mechanism 30 to receive the folded gloves and perform heat sealing. The strip packaging mechanism 40 includes a bag film unwinding component 401, an outer band shaping component 402, a color code installation component 403, a bending component 404, a capping component 405, an entrainment movable component 406, a rear sealing component 407 and a traction and cutting mechanism 408 arranged in an L shape. Specifically, after the bag film is released by the bag film unwinding component 401, it is first folded into a packaging bag style by the outer band shaping component 402, and then passes through the color code installation component 403, the bending component 404, and the capping component 405 in sequence to complete the bag body production, and then the bag mouth is opened by the entrainment movable component 406 to introduce the folded TPE gloves, and finally it is formed and packaged by the rear sealing component 407 and the traction and cutting mechanism 408, and then cut into individual packages. In this embodiment, the bag film unwinding component 401, the outer tape shaping component 402, the color code mounting component 403, the bending component 404, the capping component 405, the rear sealing component 407 and the pulling and cutting mechanism 408 are all prior arts and will not be described in detail here.
