Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cosmetic production equipment, in particular to an automatic ear folding device for an aluminum film. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of cosmetics and the increasing demand of beauty-conscious women, air cushion BB cream is becoming more and more popular and has become a popular trend. The fundamental reason is that the air cushion BB cream locks the BB cream in the sponge air cushion powder core with thousands of fine pores. The product design is easy to carry, which is convenient for users to quickly apply and touch up makeup anytime and anywhere. It also has the functions of skin care, skin color correction, sun protection and isolation. After the air cushion BB cream is filled, the filling part needs to be sealed to avoid leakage and microbial contamination. The sealing structure is mainly a plastic ring. First, the ring is heat-sealed with aluminum film, and then the ring is pressed on the air cushion BB cream box. In order to facilitate customers to tear off the aluminum film when using it, an easy-to-tear folding ear will be left on the edge of the aluminum film, and this folding ear needs to be folded to the inside of the air cushion BB cream box so as not to affect the closing of the air cushion BB cream box.

[0003] At present, the assembly of the air cushion BB cream sealing structure is usually done manually by placing a ring with an aluminum film on the air cushion BB cream box body, pressing it in after alignment, and then folding the aluminum film ears, and then closing the air cushion BB cream box cover. The aluminum film ears are generally folded by hand, and long-term operation will easily cause fatigue to the staff, the labor intensity is high, the production efficiency is low, and the consistency of manual ear folding is not high, and industrial mass production cannot be carried out. In view of the above defects, it is necessary to design an automatic aluminum film ear folding device. Utility Model Content
