[0022] Example 1

[0023] As Figures 1-5 shown, a swing arm assembly for packaging bag conveying includes a side plate 1 and a plurality of swing arm units 2, the swing arm unit 2 includes a swing arm driving shaft 21 and at least one swing arm driven shaft 22 rotatably arranged on the side plate 1, both ends of the swing arm driving shaft 21 and the swing arm driven shaft 22 are fixedly provided with a swing arm rod 27, adjacent swing arm rods 27 at the same end are hingedly connected with a swing arm connecting plate 28, both ends of the swing arm connecting plate 28 are provided with a clamping jaw unit 3, and the swing arm driving shaft 21 is driven to rotate reciprocatingly to drive the clamping jaw unit 3 to convey the packaging bag.

[0024] The scheme is characterized in that the swing arm driving shaft 21 and the swing arm driven shaft 22 are arranged, and the swing arm driving shaft 21 and the swing arm driven shaft 22 are constrained by the connecting plate 28 to form a parallelogram, so that the clamping jaw units 3 on the swing arm driving shaft 21 and the swing arm driven shaft 22 of the same swing arm unit 2 move simultaneously, the control of the swing path is simpler, and only the swing arm driving shaft 21 needs to be driven, so that the required driving structure is less, and the space is optimized.

[0025] In the embodiment, the swing arm unit 2 has two, the swing arm driven shaft 22 of each swing arm unit 2 has one, each swing arm unit 2 has two pairs of clamping jaw units 3, two clamping jaw units 3 can be driven to operate simultaneously, and the two clamping jaw units 3 do not interfere with each other, a complex control program is not required to be designed, and a loading structure can be arranged in the gap between the two swing arm units 2, the loading structure has four pairs of clamping jaw units 3, and cooperates with the fixed structure in other structures to assist other devices to complete the steps of filling, sealing, cooling and the like in the conveying of the packaging bag.

[0026] The swing arm driving shaft 21 is driven by the driving element 26 arranged on the side plate 1, wherein the output end of the driving element 26 is provided with a swing arm crankshaft 23, the swing arm crankshaft 23 is hinged with a swing arm connecting rod 24, and the swing arm driving shaft 21 is fixedly provided with a driving arm 25 hinged with the swing arm connecting rod 24. The present scheme realizes the reciprocating rotation of the swing arm driving shaft 21 through the swing arm crankshaft 23, and further through the swing arm connecting rod 24 and the driving arm 25. It can be realized by continuous rotation of the driving element 26. The swing arm connecting rod 24 and the driving arm 25 can be arranged at the end of the swing arm driving shaft 21, which occupies small space and only needs to control the rotation period of the driving element 26.

[0029] An adjusting plate 33 is further arranged between the clamping jaw mechanism 31 and the swing arm connecting plate 28, so as to adjust the distance between each pair of clamping jaw mechanisms 31. The adjusting plate 33 needs to be provided with a fixing structure to fix the clamping jaw mechanism 31 after adjustment.

[0030] At least one pair of clamping jaw units 3 has a translation mechanism 32 for automatically driving the adjusting plate 33. The translation mechanism 32 automatically controls the adjusting plate 33, which helps to automatically adjust the distance between the two clamping jaw mechanisms 31 during clamping according to the needs.

[0031] The embodiment is specifically: in the FFS packaging machine, as shown in Figure 1 The first clamping jaw, the second clamping jaw, the third clamping jaw, and the fourth clamping jaw are sequentially numbered from right to left. The packaging bag is taken down by the first clamping jaw, then temporarily stored by the external transfer structure, taken down by the second clamping jaw, then temporarily stored by the third clamping jaw, and finally put into the conveying belt by the fourth clamping jaw.
