Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 In this embodiment of the present invention, a fork conveying device for paper packaging is provided. The conveying device includes a guide plate 1, and a material feeding device for agitating raw materials is provided at the lower end of the guide plate 1. A material conveying component 2 is provided on one side of the guide plate 1. The guide plate 1 is connected to the material conveying component 2 to form a conveying material with a rounded shape. A guide cover 3 is provided on the right end face of the material conveying component 2. A material plate 4 is provided inside the lower end of the guide cover 3. A first guide groove 11 is provided on the end face of the guide plate 1 near the material conveying component 2. The first guide groove 11 extends onto the material conveying component 2. A second guide groove 41 is provided on the material plate 4, and the second guide groove 41 corresponds to the first guide groove 11. The material feeding device includes a fork 6 and a first rotating motor 5. One end of the fork 6 is connected to the output end of the first rotating motor 5, so that the first rotating motor 5 drives the fork 6 to rotate, causing the other end of the fork 6 to move at the first guide groove 11 and the second guide groove 41. The other end of the fork 6 is movably connected to the first guide groove 11.

[0031] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The packaged small packages of tissues are continuously conveyed to the material plate 4 to form large packages of tissues to be repackaged. After the tissues are gradually stacked on the material plate 4 to a certain quantity, the first rotating motor 5 is energized to drive the lever 6 to rotate. During the rotation, the lever 6 will pass through the first guide groove 11 and the second guide groove 41. The initial position of the lever 6 is set to be below the material plate 4. When the first rotating motor 5 is running, it can drive the lever 6 to rotate from the material plate 4 towards the guide plate 1, so that the lever 6 carries the tissues to be repackaged under the guidance of the guide cover 3, through the conveying path formed between the guide plate 1 and the conveying component 2, and thus conveys them to the guide plate 1.

[0032] Further as Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, an inlet 7 is provided on one end face of the guide cover 3 near the material plate 4. A conveyor belt can be provided at the inlet 7 to transport the paper towels from the inlet 7 into the material plate 4 to form a stack.

[0033] Further as Figures 1-3 As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, a third guide groove 31 is provided on the right end face of the guide cover 3, and the material plate 4 is slidably installed in the third guide groove 31 such that one end of the material plate 4 near the second guide groove 41 is located inside the guide cover 3. Specifically, the connection method between the material plate 4 and the third guide groove 31 includes, but is not limited to, slider connection, screw thread connection, etc., and the height of the material plate 4 is not higher than the height of the feed inlet 7.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The longitudinal position of the material plate 4 is adjustable, which can control the number of paper towel stacking layers. When more paper towel stacking layers are required, the operator moves the material plate 4 downward to increase the height difference between the material plate 4 and the feed inlet 7, so that the paper towels can be stacked into more layers at the material plate 4. When fewer paper towel stacking layers are required, the operator can move the material plate 4 upward to decrease the height difference between the material plate 4 and the feed inlet 7, so that the number of paper towel stacking layers at the material plate 4 is less.

[0035] Further as Figures 1-4 As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, a first adjusting device is provided at the other end of the material plate 4. The first adjusting device includes a first connecting plate 42, a first guide rail 43, a first conveyor belt 44, and a second rotating motor 45. The upper end of the first connecting plate 42 is detachably connected to the other end of the material plate 4, the right end of the first connecting plate 42 is slidably connected to the guide rail, the front end of the first connecting plate 42 is mounted on the first conveyor belt 44, and the output end of the second rotating motor 45 is connected to the rotating end of the first conveyor belt 44 to drive the first conveyor belt 44 to move.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The second rotating motor 45 drives the first conveyor belt 44 to move the material plate 4, so that the position of the material plate 4 can be adjusted longitudinally, and the number of paper towels stacked on the material plate 4 can be adjusted. The greater the height difference between the material plate 4 and the feed port 7, the more paper towels are stacked on the material plate 4, and vice versa. The first guide rail 43 plays a guiding and positioning role for the movement of the material plate 4.

[0037] Further as Figures 1-5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the first rotating motor 5 is provided with a second adjusting device. The second adjusting device includes a second connecting plate 51, a second guide rail 52, a second conveyor belt 53, and a third rotating motor 54. The first rotating motor 5 is installed at the upper end of the second connecting plate 51, the lower end of the second connecting plate 51 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 52, the rear end of the second connecting plate 51 is installed on the second conveyor belt 53, and the output end of the third rotating motor 54 is connected to the rotating end of the second conveyor belt 53 to drive the second conveyor belt 53 to move.

[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the third rotating motor 54 is powered on, it drives the second conveyor belt 53 to move, thereby changing the position of the push block 6. This allows the push block 6 to move the tissues to be packaged a second time on the end face of the guide plate 1, and further transport the tissues to the left side of the guide plate 1.

[0039] Further as Figures 1-6 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the opening of the first guide groove 11 corresponds to the opening of the second guide groove 41. The guide plate 1 is evenly distributed with a plurality of first guide grooves 11, and the material plate 4 is evenly distributed with a plurality of second guide grooves 41. The other end of the push block 6 is provided with a plurality of push teeth 61. The first rotary motor 5 drives the push block 6 to rotate so that when the push teeth 61 rotate, they pass through the openings of the first guide groove 11 and the second guide groove 41. The push teeth 61 are inserted into the first guide groove 11 so that one end of the push teeth 61 protrudes from the upper end of the guide plate 1. The size of the push teeth 61 is not greater than the opening size of the first guide groove 11. The arrangement of a plurality of sets of first guide grooves 11 and second guide grooves 41 reduces the air resistance of the push block 6 when it drives the paper towel to the upper end surface of the guide plate 1 through the push teeth 61, while saving the output of the first rotary motor 5.

[0040] Further as Figures 1-6 As shown in the present invention, the material conveying component 2 can be a plurality of material conveying strips 21. When a plurality of first guide grooves 11 are provided at one end of the guide plate 1, a plurality of connecting strips 22 are formed. The material conveying strips 21 are respectively connected to the connecting strips 22 to form a track for conveying raw materials.

[0041] The material conveying component 2 can be connected to the guide plate 1 as several material conveying bars 21. The material conveying bars 21 are rounded and extend towards the lower end of the guide plate 1. The connection method between the material conveying bars 21 and the connecting bars 22 on the guide plate 1 includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection and plug-in connection.

[0042] Further as Figures 1-3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, one end of the guide cover 3 extends to the upper surface of the guide plate 1, and the guide cover 3 is rounded near the connection between the guide plate 1 and the material conveying component 2. The rounding of the guide cover 3 is used to guide and convey the tissues to be repackaged to the guide plate 1.

[0043] Further as Figures 1-2As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a counting sensor is provided at the feed inlet 7. The counting sensor includes a counting sensor 81 and a control board 82. The counting sensor 81 is electrically connected to the control board 82, the control board 82 is electrically connected to the first rotating motor 5, and the control board 82 is electrically connected to the second rotating motor 45.

[0044] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: A counting sensor is installed at the feed inlet 7 to detect the number of paper towels stacked. By setting the number of paper towel stacking layers, when the paper towels reach the set value, the control board 82 can send a signal to the first rotary motor 5 to drive the dial block 6 to rotate to complete the feeding of the paper towels to be packaged. The counting sensor can send a signal to the second rotary motor 45 to run, so as to adjust the longitudinal position of the material plate 4 to adapt to the set number of stacking layers.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
