Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mask production equipment, and particularly relates to a mask stacking and folding integrated device. Background Art

[0002] A mask is formed by stamping a non-woven fabric into a film sheet, and then a spacer made of a plastic material is placed on the film sheet to form a mask assembly as shown in Figure 8 shown, and then the first pair of folding lines in Figure 8 is used to fold it 4 times to obtain the state shown in Figure 9 shown. After that, the second folding line 5 in Figure 9 is used to fold the mask assembly a second time to obtain the state shown in Figure 10 shown. Finally, the folded mask assembly is put into a packaging bag for filling and encapsulating the essence liquid.

[0003] In the prior art, manual operation is mostly adopted for mask stacking. At one end of the conveyor belt, a stack of film sheets and a stack of spacers are respectively placed. Workers smear liquid on their palms to make their palms sticky, and then pick up the film sheets and spacers respectively and stack them together to form a mask assembly, and then place it on the conveyor belt for output. Other workers sit on both sides at the other end of the conveyor belt respectively to fold the stacked mask assembly. In this process, workers need to maintain a high degree of concentration, and the actions are single and repetitive, which is easy to cause fatigue; and it is necessary to smear liquid on the palms irregularly to maintain the stickiness of the palms, resulting in low efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a mask stacking and folding integrated device, which can automatically stack the film sheets and spacers, and can automatically fold the formed mask assembly to replace manual labor and improve work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of the utility model, the following scheme is proposed:

[0006] A mask stacking and folding integrated device includes:

[0007] A film sheet stacking component, including a turntable, on which stacking areas are recessed in a circumferential array. A strip-shaped groove penetrates through the inner bottom of the stacking area. Along the rotation direction of the turntable, a film sheet temporary storage table and a spacer temporary storage table are successively arranged. First suction cup components and second suction cup components are respectively vertically arranged on the film sheet temporary storage table and the spacer temporary storage table, and the first suction cup components and the second suction cup components are arranged to move towards the center of the turntable, and are respectively used for successively placing film sheets and spacers into the stacking area to form a mask assembly, and the first folding line of the mask assembly corresponds to the strip-shaped groove;

[0008] The folding assembly includes a folding member disposed above the turntable for pushing the mask assembly out of the strip groove along the first folding line to achieve the folding of the mask assembly. An annular conveyor belt is provided below the folding member and below the turntable. The outer periphery of the annular conveyor belt is arrayed with U-shaped clamping plates for receiving the folded mask assembly. The length of the U-shaped clamping plate is consistent with the distance between the second folding lines. Baffles are respectively provided on both sides of the annular conveyor belt. One end of the baffle is provided with an arc-shaped plate disposed opposite to the conveying direction of the annular conveyor belt for folding the folded mask assembly by 90° along the second folding line. The other end of the baffle is provided with a pushing member telescopically disposed perpendicular to the conveying direction of the annular conveyor belt for pushing the two ends of the folded mask assembly with both ends folded by 90° to move relatively to complete the folding of the mask assembly.

[0009] Further, the length direction of the strip groove is perpendicular to the connection line between the midpoint of the strip groove and the center of the turntable. When the stacking area moves to directly below the folding member, the strip groove corresponds to the folding member.

[0010] Further, the film storage table and the spacer storage table are respectively located at both ends of the same diameter of the turntable. Cross beams are spaced on the turntable and are arranged parallel to the radial direction of the turntable directly above the turntable.

One end of the telescopic rod is provided with a slider slidably connected to the sliding groove. A cylinder is provided on one side of the slider, and the output direction of the cylinder is consistent with the length direction of the cross beam.

[0012] Further, retaining strips are circumferentially arrayed on the outer peripheries of the film storage table and the spacer storage table.

[0013] Further, a conveyor belt is provided below the end of the annular conveyor belt far from the turntable for outputting the folded mask assembly.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] The first suction cup assembly and the second suction cup assembly are respectively used to automatically suck the film and the spacer, and sequentially place them in the stacking area for automatic stacking. A strip groove is provided at the inner bottom of the stacking area. The folding member is used to fold the mask assembly in half, and the folded mask assembly enters the U-shaped clamping plate. With the movement of the annular conveyor belt, the two ends of the mask assembly are automatically bent under the action of the baffle, and are completed folding under the action of the pushing member, thereby realizing the automatic stacking and folding of the mask, with high efficiency.

Detailed implementation manners

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the following will describe the implementation manners of the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0029] As Figures 1-7 shown, this embodiment provides a device for stacking and folding facial masks integrally, which is used to fold the facial mask assembly into the state as Figure 10 shown. The device includes a film stacking assembly 10 and a folding assembly 20. The film stacking assembly 10 is used to stack the film 1 and the spacer 2 to form the facial mask assembly 3. The folding assembly 20 is used to fold the facial mask assembly 3 along the first folding line 4 and the second folding line 5 of the facial mask assembly 2 respectively, so as to facilitate the subsequent loading of the facial mask assembly 3 into the packaging bag.

[0030] Specifically, as Figures 1-6 shown, the film stacking assembly 10 includes a turntable 11, a film temporary storage table 12, a spacer temporary storage table 13, a first suction cup assembly 14, and a second suction cup assembly 15. The bottom center of the turntable 11 is driven by a motor to rotate the turntable 11. The film temporary storage table 12 and the spacer temporary storage table 13 are arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the turntable 11 and are arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the turntable 11. The film temporary storage table 12 is used to temporarily store the film 1, and the spacer temporary storage table 13 is used to temporarily store the spacer 2. The first suction cup 14 and the second suction cup 15 are respectively arranged vertically above the corresponding film temporary storage table 12 and spacer temporary storage table 13, and the first suction cup assembly 14 and the second suction cup assembly 15 are respectively arranged to move towards the center of the turntable 11, and are used to sequentially place the film 1 and the spacer 2 into the stacking area 111 on the turntable 11 to form the facial mask assembly 3.

[0031] A strip-shaped groove 112 penetrates through the inner bottom surface of each stacking area 111, and the first folding line 4 of the facial mask assembly 3 corresponds to the strip-shaped groove 112.

[0032] The folding assembly 20 includes a folding member 21, an annular conveyor belt 22, a baffle 23, and a pushing member 24. The folding member 21 is arranged above the turntable 11, and the film temporary storage table 12, the spacer temporary storage table 13, and the folding member 21 are arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the turntable 11. Thus, the folding member 21 is used to move vertically along the first folding line 4 of the facial mask assembly 3 to push the facial mask assembly 3 out of the stacking area 111 along the strip-shaped groove 112, so as to achieve the folded state of the facial mask assembly 3 as Figure 9 shown.

[0033] The endless conveyor belt 22 is disposed below the turntable 11, and the conveying direction of the endless conveyor belt 22 is toward the end away from the center of the turntable 11. A U-shaped pallet 221 is provided in an array on the periphery of the endless conveyor belt 22. The projection of the folded member 21 on the U-shaped pallet 221 falls within the U-shaped pallet 221, so that the U-shaped pallet 221 is used to receive the stacked facial mask assembly 3, and the ends of the stacked facial mask assembly 3 extend outward on both sides of the endless conveyor belt 22. The length of the U-shaped pallet 221 is consistent with the distance between the second fold lines 5 of the facial mask assembly 3, so that the ends of the stacked facial mask assembly 3 entering the U-shaped pallet 221 extend outward on both sides of the endless conveyor belt 22.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, a group of baffles 23 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the circular conveyor belt 22, and an arc-shaped plate 231 is provided at the end of the baffle 23 opposite to the conveying direction of the circular conveyor belt 22. The arc-shaped plate 231 is bent outward in the direction away from the circular conveyor belt 22, and is used to fold the two ends of the stacked mask assemblies 3 90° along the second folding line 5 of the stacked mask assemblies 3 toward the direction of the turntable 11.

[0035] The pushers 24 are respectively located at one end of the baffle 23 facing the conveying direction of the endless conveyor belt 22, and are telescopically arranged along the conveying direction perpendicular to the endless conveyor belt 22, and are used to fold the two ends of the mask assembly 3 90 degrees perpendicular to the conveying direction of the endless conveyor belt 22 between the two adjacent U-shaped card plates 221 to form a Figure 10 The state shown in FIG3 completes the folding of the mask assembly 3, wherein the movement of the pusher 24 can be driven by a linear cylinder.

[0036] Specific operation process:

[0037] The first suction cup 14 is activated to place the film 1 in the corresponding stacking area 111, and then the turntable 11 is activated to rotate the stacking area 111 carrying the film 1 to one side of the spacer temporary storage table 13. The second suction cup 15 is activated to place the spacer 2 in the stacking area 111 carrying the film 1 to form the facial mask assembly 3, and this process is repeated.

[0038] When the stacking area 111 carrying the rear mask assembly 3 moves to the bottom of the folding piece 21, the folding piece 21 is started to move vertically downward. The vertical movement of the folding piece 21 can be achieved by a vertically arranged telescopic cylinder. The folding piece 21 pushes the mask assembly 3 vertically downward along the first folding line 4 and downward along the strip groove 112 to push the mask assembly 3 from the stacking area 111 to the corresponding U-shaped card plate 221, thereby completing the stacking of the mask assembly 3.

[0039] As the folded mask component 3 moves along with the movement of the annular conveyor belt 22 and passes through the area where the baffles 23 are located on both sides of the annular conveyor belt 22, under the action of the baffles 23, both ends of the folded mask component 3 are folded 90° towards both sides of the annular conveyor belt 22. When the mask component 3 passes through the baffle 23, the pushing members 24 on both sides are activated, and the pushing members 24 fold the two ends of the mask component 3 that have been folded 90° by 90° in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the annular conveyor belt 22, thus completing the folding of the mask component 3. After that, the folded mask component 3 moves along with the annular conveyor belt 22 to the lower part of the annular conveyor belt 22 and automatically disengages from the annular conveyor belt 22 under the action of gravity and falls onto the conveyor belt 25 arranged below one end of the annular conveyor belt 22 away from the turntable 11, and the conveyor belt 25 is used to output the folded mask component 3.

[0040] As Figure 6 shown, the length direction of the strip groove 112 is perpendicular to the direction of the line connecting the midpoint of the strip groove 112 and the center of the turntable 11. When the stacking area 111 moves to directly below the folding member 21, the strip groove 112 corresponds to the folding member 21, so that when the folding member 21 moves vertically downward, the mask component 3 can be folded in half along the first folding line 4.

[0041] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4 shown, the film sheet temporary storage table 12 and the spacer temporary storage table 13 are respectively arranged at both ends of the same diameter of the turntable 11, and a cross beam 16 is spanned above the center of the top of the turntable 11. The cross beam 16 is arranged parallel to the radial direction of the turntable 11 directly above the turntable 11. The first suction cup assembly 14 and the second suction cup assembly 15 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the cross beam 16. The cross beam 16 for installing the first suction cup assembly 14 and the second suction cup 15 has a simple structure and low cost. The upper end of the telescopic cylinder corresponding to the folding member 21 is provided with a connecting rod, and the output end is vertically downward connected to the upper end of the folding member 21, and the connecting rod is vertically connected to the cross beam 16.

[0042] Specifically, sliding grooves 161 are symmetrically arranged on the cross beam 16 for limiting the first suction cup assembly 14 and the second suction cup assembly 15 respectively. Both the first suction cup assembly 14 and the second suction cup assembly 15 include suction cups 141, and suction nozzles 142 are arranged in a circumferential array on the bottom surface of the suction cups 141. Thus, the suction nozzles 142 of the first suction cup assembly 14 act on the periphery of the film sheet 1, so that the force on the film sheet 1 is uniform, which is convenient for smoothly taking out the film sheet 1 from the film sheet temporary storage table 12 and smoothly placing it in the corresponding stacking area 111. The suction nozzles 142 corresponding to the second suction cup assembly 15 can also smoothly take out the spacer 2 from the spacer temporary storage table 13 and smoothly place the taken-out spacer 2 in the corresponding stacking area 111 carrying the film sheet 2 and align it with the film sheet 1 to complete the stacking of the mask component 3.

[0043] The top surface of the suction cup 141 is provided with a telescopic rod 143. The telescopic rod 143 is vertically arranged and can be telescoped along its own axis. The upper end of the telescopic rod 143 is provided with a slider 144. The slider 144 is slidably matched with the chute 161, and the upper end of the slider 144 passes through the chute 161 and is connected to the output end of the cylinder 145. When the slider 144 moves to the end of the chute 161 close to the cylinder 145, the suction cup 141 corresponding to the first suction cup assembly 14 is concentric with the diaphragm storage table 12, and the diaphragm 1 is lifted. The suction cup 141 corresponding to the second suction cup assembly 15 is concentric with the spacer storage table 13, and the spacer 2 is lifted. When the slider 144 moves to the end of the chute 161 far from the cylinder 145, the suction cup 141 corresponding to the first suction cup assembly 14 places the diaphragm 1 into the stacking area 111. When the stacking area 111 carrying the diaphragm 1 moves to one side of the spacer storage table 13, the suction cup 141 corresponding to the second suction cup assembly 15 places the spacer 2 into the stacking area 111 carrying the diaphragm 1, thereby completing the stacking of the facial mask assembly 3. During this process, the chute 161 can limit the two ends of the reciprocating movement of the slider 144 to ensure that the suction cup 141 accurately acts on the unperforated area of the diaphragm 1 or the spacer 2 when picking up materials as shown in Figure 3 shown, and at the same time, it can also ensure the accurate position during discharging to avoid deviation from the stacking area 111.

[0044] Specifically, in order to prevent the lower diaphragm 1 or spacer 2 from shifting when the suction nozzle 141 picks up materials, retaining bars 121 are arranged in a circumferential array on the outer peripheries of the diaphragm storage table 12 and the spacer storage table 13.

[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent that they are the only ones or limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that without departing from the scope of the present invention, various changes or equivalent substitutions made to the present invention all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
