[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-3As shown, the support frame 1 is adjustable and can be mounted on the frame of the packaging machine. The horizontal height of the support frame 1 on the frame of the packaging machine can be adjusted by adjusting the components to adapt to the assembly of frames of different heights. The overall structure is stable and adopts an integrated heat sealing and cutting design, which can effectively improve production and processing efficiency. The overall structure of the mechanism is compact and occupies a small area.

[0023] Further, the drive module 4 includes: a drive motor 41, a reducer 42, at least one first connecting rod 43, at least one transmission rocker arm 44 adapted to the first connecting rod 43, two crossbars 45, a first connecting plate 46, a second connecting plate 47, two second connecting rods 48, and two third connecting rods 49; the two crossbars 45 are slidably mounted on the support frame 1 from top to bottom; the drive motor 41 and the reducer 42 are both mounted on the bottom of the support frame 1; the output end of the drive motor 41 is connected to the output end of the reducer 42; the output end of the reducer 42 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rocker arm 44; the other end of the transmission rocker arm 44 is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod 43; the other end of the first connecting rod 43 is hinged to a crossbar 45 located below; the first connecting plate 46... The middle end of 6 is rotatably connected to one side of the support frame 1 via a pivot; one end of a second connecting rod 48 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting plate 46, and the other end is hinged to one end of the lower crossbar 45; one end of another second connecting rod 48 is hinged to the other end of the first connecting plate 46, and the other end is hinged to one end of the upper crossbar 45; the middle end of the second connecting plate 47 is rotatably connected to the other side of the support frame 1 via a pivot; one end of a third connecting rod 49 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting plate 47, and the other end is hinged to the other end of the lower crossbar 45; one end of another third connecting rod 49 is hinged to the other end of the second connecting plate 47, and the other end is hinged to the other end of the upper crossbar 45; the drive motor 41 is electrically connected to the control module 5.

In this embodiment, the number of the transmission rocker arm 44 and the first connecting rod 43 are both 2. The drive motor 41 and the reducer 42 adopt mature technology products on the market, which belong to the prior art and will not be described in detail here. During operation, the control module 5 controls the drive motor 41 to start, and the drive motor 41 works, driving the reducer 42 to work. During the operation of the reducer 42, it drives the transmission rocker arm 44 at its output end to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting rod 43 to perform lifting and pulling movements. When the transmission rocker arm 44 drives the first connecting rod 43 to perform lifting movements, the first connecting rod 43 pushes the crossbar 45 located below along the two The guide rod slides upward. During the sliding process, it drives the second connecting rod 48 and the third connecting rod 49 connected to its two ends to move upward, thereby driving the first connecting plate 46 and the second connecting plate 47 to flip. During the flipping of the first connecting plate 46 and the second connecting plate 47, the second connecting rod 48 and the third connecting rod 49 connected to the other end of the two connecting plates to pull downward, thereby driving the upper crossbar 45 to slide downward along the two guide rods. This allows the two crossbars 45 to move relative to each other synchronously, so as to cooperate in realizing the clamping, heat sealing and cutting operation of the heat sealing and cutting assembly. When the rocker arm 44 drives the first connecting rod 43 to pull downward, it drives the two crossbars 45 to move in opposite directions synchronously, so as to release the heat sealing and cutting assembly in the clamped state. The overall structure is stable and easy to install.

[0025] Further, the heat-sealing and cutting module 3 includes: a first heat-sealing strip 31, a second heat-sealing strip 32, a fixing plate 33, a blade 34, a first cylinder 35, several heat-insulating pads 36, several spring screws 37, and two fixing seats 38; the first heat-sealing strip 31 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the lower crossbar 45 through several heat-insulating pads 36; both ends of the fixing plate 33 are fixedly connected to the lower end face of the upper crossbar through the two fixing seats 38; the second heat-sealing strip 32 is fixedly installed on the lower end face of the fixing plate 33; the first heat-sealing strip 31 and the second heat-sealing strip 32 are arranged opposite to each other; the spring screws 37 pass through the upper crossbar 45 and are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 33. The compression spring screw 37 is located in the gap between the two fixed seats 38; a sliding groove 8 adapted to the blade 34 is provided on the opposing surfaces of the first heat sealing strip 31 and the second heat sealing strip 32; the cutting end of the blade 34 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 8; the mounting end of the blade 34 passes through the second heat sealing strip 32 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 35; the first cylinder 35 is fixedly installed on the upper crossbar 45; the first cylinder 35, the first heat sealing strip 31 and the second heat sealing strip 32 are respectively electrically connected to the control module 5; a temperature sensor is provided on both the first heat sealing strip 31 and the second heat sealing strip 32; the temperature sensor is respectively electrically connected to the control module 5.

The first heat-sealing strip 31 and the second heat-sealing strip 32 are installed in a relative state in the gap between the two crossbars 45. During the heat-sealing and cutting operation, the two crossbars 45 move relative to each other so that the first heat-sealing strip 31 and the second heat-sealing strip 32 can work together to clamp and heat-seal the packaging bag. After the heat-sealing is completed, the first cylinder 35 drives the blade 34 to perform a downward cutting operation to cut the packaging bag, thus realizing the heat-sealing and cutting operation of the packaging bag.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, when the user needs to adjust the assembly height of the support frame 1, he / she can manually rotate the hand crank 21. The hand crank 21 drives the transmission shaft 23 to lift or lower through the magnetic powder clutch 22, thereby driving the support frame 1 to lift or lower, so as to achieve the horizontal assembly height of the support frame 1.

[0031] Furthermore, a second cylinder 6 is provided on each side of the support frame 1; the output ends of the two second cylinders 6 are provided with corner inserts 7 for inserting corners into the packaging bag; the two corner inserts 7 are arranged opposite to each other.
