Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machine technology, and in particular to a bag unfolding mechanism with cushioning. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, packaging machines are divided into single-station and multi-station types. The bag unfolding station is a crucial station affecting packaging quality, especially for multi-station machines handling irregularly shaped bags. Often, the bags unfold to varying degrees, resulting in wrinkles and uneven edges at the seal. Furthermore, the bags do not move outwards from the center at the start of unfolding, causing misalignment at the seal. Wrinkles, uneven edges, and misalignment are all unacceptable to customers. Therefore, we propose a bag unfolding mechanism with cushioning to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a cushioned bag unfolding mechanism.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A buffered bag unfolding mechanism includes a servo motor, a reducer connected to one end of the servo motor, a fixed base mounted on the end of the reducer, a first swing block connected to the output end of the reducer, the first swing block being hinged to one end of a first pull rod, a second swing block hinged to the other end of the first pull rod, a second pull rod connected to the end of the second swing block via a rotating shaft, a connecting block fixedly connected above the second pull rod, a spring welded between the connecting block and the second pull rod, multiple sets of partitions sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft, the connecting block being connected to a fixed base via a third swing block, a swing rod mounted on the end of the fixed base, an upper slider fixed base mounted below the swing rod, a lower slider fixed base mounted below the upper slider fixed base, and a front bag unfolding clamp and a rear bag unfolding clamp mounted on the surface of the lower slider fixed base.

[0006] Preferably, the end of the second swing block is adjusted with a shaft, and four small swing blocks are sleeved on the surface of the shaft. The small swing blocks are hinged to the bottom end of the second pull rod.

[0007] Preferably, a disc is fitted onto the upper surface of the second pull rod, one end of the spring is welded to the connecting block, and the other end of the spring is welded to the disc.

[0008] Preferably, the third pendulum block is provided in two groups, and each group is provided with four blocks, with the two groups of the third pendulum block being arranged symmetrically.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the pull rod is connected to the second swing block by bolts, and the interior of the second swing block has a through groove that matches the bolts.

[0010] Preferably, the small swing block is connected to the second pull rod by bolts, and the small swing block has a through groove inside that matches the bolt.

[0011] Preferably, the reducer is connected to the fixed base by screws, and screws are installed at all four corners of the reducer.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] The device features an upper and lower slider fixing seat arranged vertically, resulting in a compact structure that saves space. A buffer mechanism consisting of a second pull rod, spring, connecting block, and third swing block addresses the issue of varying bag unfolding strokes. Furthermore, the relative rotation of the connecting block and third swing block allows for bag unfolding from the center point outwards, accommodating more bag types without requiring equipment adjustments, thus reducing human intervention and improving production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-3A buffered bag unfolding mechanism includes a servo motor 1, a reducer 2 connected to one end of the servo motor 1, a fixed base 3 mounted on one end of the reducer 2, a first swing block 4 connected to the output end of the reducer 2, the first swing block 4 being hinged to one end of a first pull rod 5, a second swing block 6 being hinged to the other end of the first pull rod 5, a second pull rod 8 connected to the end of the second swing block 6 via a rotating shaft, a connecting block 10 fixedly connected above the second pull rod 8, a spring 9 welded between the connecting block 10 and the second pull rod 8, multiple sets of partitions 7 sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft, the connecting block 10 being connected to a fixed base 12 via a third swing block 11, a swing rod 13 mounted on the end of the fixed base 12, an upper slider fixed base 14 mounted below the swing rod 13, a lower slider fixed base 15 mounted below the upper slider fixed base 14, and a front bag unfolding clip 16 and a rear bag unfolding clip 17 mounted on the surface of the lower slider fixed base 15.

[0020] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the end of the second swing block 6 is adjusted with a shaft, and four small swing blocks are sleeved on the surface of the shaft. The small swing blocks are hinged to the bottom of the second tie rod 8. Through the four small swing blocks, the power can be easily divided into four paths.

[0021] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that a disc is sleeved on the upper surface of the second pull rod 8, one end of the spring 9 is welded to the connecting block 10, and the other end of the spring 9 is welded to the disc. The disc facilitates the installation of the function of the spring 9, so that the second pull rod 8 and the spring 9 can play a buffering role.

[0022] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that there are two sets of the third pendulum block 11, and four blocks in each set. The two sets of the third pendulum block 11 are symmetrically arranged. By rotating the third pendulum block 11, the second pull rod 8, spring 9 and connecting block 10 can play a buffering role.

[0023] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the end of the first pull rod 5 is connected to the second swing block 6 by bolts, and the second swing block 6 has a through groove that matches the bolts. By sliding the bolts in the through grooves, the first pull rod 5 can drive the second swing block 6 to swing.

[0024] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the small pendulum block is connected to the second tie rod 8 by bolts, and the small pendulum block has a through groove that matches the bolts. By moving the bolts in the through grooves inside the small pendulum block, the third pendulum block 11 can be made to move up and down.

[0025] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the reducer 2 is connected to the fixed base 3 by screws, and screws are installed at all four corners of the reducer 2. The distribution of screws at the four corners can increase the installation stability and reduce vibration and noise.

[0026] Working principle: When using this utility model, according to the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 As shown, the staff powers on the servo motor 1, which drives the first swing block 4 to swing through the reducer 2. The first swing block 4 drives the second swing block 6 to swing through the first pull rod 5. The second swing block 6 drives the four small swing blocks to move through the shaft belt, thus dividing the power into four paths. The first path drives the swing rod 13 to swing, and the second path drives the front and rear sliders to move, thereby realizing the bag unfolding function. This is a bag unfolding mechanism that dispenses four bags at a time. The guide rail is installed on the upper and lower sides of the fixed position, and the slider fixing seat is one on the top and one on the bottom to save space.

[0027] The connecting block 10 and the third swing block 11 can rotate relative to each other. When the bag is unfolded, the swing block pushes upward, and the clamp head unfolds to achieve the bag unfolding function. Since the four sets of bags cannot be unfolded to the same size, some will unfold larger and some smaller. The buffer mechanism composed of the second pull rod 8, spring 9, connecting block 10, and third swing block 11 can effectively solve this problem. When the bag is unfolded to the desired position, the force of the second pull rod 8 is applied to the spring 9, which absorbs this force, allowing the bag to reach the desired state. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.

[0028] In this utility model, the installation, connection or setting methods of all the components mentioned above are common mechanical methods, and the specific structure, model and coefficient index of all the components are their own technologies. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented, so they will not be described in detail.
