Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum insulation panel folding technology, and in particular to a leaf folding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum insulation panels are a new type of high-efficiency insulation material based on the principle of vacuum insulation. They achieve heat insulation by maximizing the vacuum level within the panel and filling it with a core layer of insulation material, thus achieving ideal insulation effects and purposes such as heat preservation and energy saving. Compared to traditional insulation materials such as polyurethane foam or fiberglass, vacuum insulation panels do not use ODS substances in their production and application, offering the dual advantages of environmental protection and energy saving.

[0003] After the vacuum insulation panel is encapsulated, its edges need to be folded to make the panel neat and easy to use. Traditionally, the folding process for vacuum insulation panels is done manually. Specifically, hot melt adhesive is applied to the folded edges, or double-sided tape is applied and the release liner is removed. Then, the long sides are folded towards the adhesive or tape-coated side. The drawbacks of this method are: it requires a large amount of manpower and resources, resulting in high production costs and inconsistent quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the aforementioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a folding machine that automatically folds the edge blades of a vacuum insulation panel by setting a bottom frame, a conveying mechanism, and a folding mechanism, achieving high folding efficiency.

[0006] The conveying mechanism is mounted on the base frame, and the folding mechanism includes a folding seat, a folding mounting plate, and a folding plate. The folding seat is movably mounted on the base frame to be close to or away from the conveying mechanism. The folding mounting plate is liftable and height-mounted on the folding seat, and the folding plate is rotatably mounted on the folding mounting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the folding mechanism includes a left folding mechanism and a right folding mechanism. The left folding mechanism is located on one side of the conveying mechanism, and the right folding mechanism is located on the other side of the conveying mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a transverse movement mechanism that drives the folding mechanism to move laterally. The transverse movement mechanism includes a transverse movement motor, a transverse movement gear, and a transverse movement rack. The transverse movement motor is mounted on the folding connecting plate. The transverse movement gear is connected to the transverse movement motor and is driven to rotate by the transverse movement motor. The transverse movement rack is mounted on the bottom frame base and is meshed with the transverse movement gear.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a rotating mechanism that drives the folding plate to rotate. The rotating mechanism includes a rotary motor, a first gear, and a second gear. The rotary motor is mounted on the folding plate. The first gear is connected to the rotary motor and is driven to rotate by the rotary motor. The second gear is rotatably mounted on the folding plate and meshes with the first gear. The second gear is connected to the folding plate and drives the folding plate to rotate synchronously.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt, which are arranged side by side.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a spacing adjustment mechanism, which includes an adjustment motor and an adjustment belt.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: When folding the vacuum insulation panel, placing the vacuum insulation panel on the conveying mechanism guides and positions it, facilitating its transport to a designated position and stopping. Then, the folding vane seat moves closer to the conveying mechanism, the folding vane mounting plate rises along the folding vane seat, and the folding plate rotates, thereby folding the edge of the vacuum insulation panel upwards.

[0021] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown,

[0023] The present invention relates to a leaf folding machine, comprising a base frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, and a leaf folding mechanism 3; the conveying mechanism 2 is disposed on the base frame 1, and the leaf folding mechanism 3 comprises a leaf folding seat 31, a leaf folding mounting plate 32, and a folding plate 33. The leaf folding seat 31 is movably disposed on the base frame 1 to be close to or away from the conveying mechanism 2, the leaf folding mounting plate 32 is vertically and vertically disposed on the leaf folding seat 31, and the folding plate 33 is rotatably disposed on the leaf folding mounting plate 32.

[0024] Thus, the folding machine of this utility model, when folding the edge of a vacuum insulation panel, places the vacuum insulation panel on the conveying mechanism 2, which guides and positions the panel, facilitating its transport to a designated position and stopping. Then, the folding seat 31 moves closer to the conveying mechanism 2, the folding mounting plate 32 rises along the folding seat 31, and the folding plate 33 rotates, thereby folding the edge of the vacuum insulation panel upwards. Since the folding seat 31 is movably mounted on the base frame 1, the folding mounting plate 32 is vertically and vertically mounted on the folding seat 31, and the folding plate 33 is rotatably mounted on the folding mounting plate 32, the movement trajectory of the folding plate 33 can be controlled from multiple angles, enabling the folding plate 33 to fold vacuum insulation panels of different widths and thicknesses.

[0025] Optionally, the folding mechanism 3 includes a left folding mechanism 3a and a right folding mechanism 3b. The left folding mechanism 3a is located on one side of the conveying mechanism 2, and the right folding mechanism 3b is located on the other side of the conveying mechanism 2, with the right folding mechanism 3b facing the left folding mechanism 3a. By setting the left folding mechanism 3a and the right folding mechanism 3b, when folding the vacuum insulation panel, the left folding mechanism 3a folds the left side edge of the vacuum insulation panel, and the right folding mechanism 3b folds the right side edge of the vacuum insulation panel.

[0026] Furthermore, the folding blade seat 31 includes a first folding blade seat 311 and a second folding blade seat 312, which are connected together by a folding blade connecting plate 313. A first folding blade mounting plate 321 is movably mounted on the first folding blade seat 311, and a second folding blade mounting plate 322 is movably mounted on the second folding blade seat 312. One end of the folding plate 33 is rotatably mounted on the first folding blade mounting plate 321, and the other end of the folding plate 33 is rotatably mounted on the second folding blade mounting plate 322.

[0027] By setting the folding blade connecting plate 313, the first folding blade seat 311 and the second folding blade seat 312 are connected together, thereby facilitating the synchronous movement of the first folding blade seat 311 and the second folding blade seat 312. By setting the first folding blade mounting plate 321 and the second folding blade mounting plate 322, the folding plate 33 is connected to the first folding blade mounting plate 321 and the second folding blade mounting plate 322, making the rotation process of the folding plate 33 smoother.

[0028] In this embodiment, a transverse mechanism 4 is also included to drive the folding mechanism 3 to move laterally. Specifically, the transverse mechanism 4 includes a transverse motor 41, a transverse gear and a transverse rack. The transverse motor 41 is mounted on the folding connecting plate 313. The transverse gear is connected to the transverse motor 41 and is driven to rotate by the transverse motor 41. The transverse rack is mounted on the bottom frame 1 and is meshed with the transverse gear.

[0029] When the folding mechanism 3 needs to move laterally, the lateral motor 41 drives the lateral gear to rotate. Since the lateral rack is meshed with the lateral gear and is mounted on the bottom frame 1, the rotating lateral gear drives the folding mechanism 3 to move laterally.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rotating mechanism 5 is further included to drive the folding plate 33 to rotate, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating mechanism 5 includes a rotary motor 51, a first gear 52, and a second gear 53. The rotary motor 51 is mounted on the folding blade mounting plate 32. The first gear 52 is connected to the rotary motor 51 and is driven to rotate by the rotary motor 51. The second gear 53 is rotatably mounted on the folding blade mounting plate 32 and meshes with the first gear 52. The second gear 53 is connected to the folding plate 33 and drives the folding plate 33 to rotate synchronously. When the folding plate 33 needs to rotate, the rotary motor 51 drives the first gear 52 to rotate, the first gear 52 drives the second gear 53 to rotate, and the second gear 53 drives the folding plate 33 to rotate synchronously.

[0031] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a first conveyor belt 21 and a second conveyor belt 22, which are arranged side by side. It also includes a spacing adjustment mechanism 6, which includes an adjustment motor 61 and an adjustment belt 62. The adjustment motor 61 is mounted on the base frame 1, and the adjustment belt 62 is connected to the adjustment motor 61 and driven to rotate by the adjustment motor 61. The adjustment belt 62 is connected to the frame of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22.

[0032] The first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 rotate to transport the vacuum insulation panels. A spacing adjustment mechanism 6 is provided, and the adjusting motor 61 drives the adjusting belt 62 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting belt 62 moves either the first conveyor belt 21 or the second conveyor belt 22, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two conveyor belts. This allows vacuum insulation panels of different widths to be transported stably. Specifically, the upper part of the adjusting belt 62 can be connected to the frame of the first conveyor belt 21, and the upper part of the adjusting belt 62 can be connected to the frame of the second conveyor belt 22. This allows the rotating adjusting belt to move the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 closer together or further apart.

[0033] In this embodiment, a pressing mechanism 7 is also included. The pressing mechanism 7 includes a pressing frame 71, a pressing movable seat 72, a pressing cylinder 73, and a pressing plate 74. The pressing frame 71 is mounted on the base frame 1. The pressing movable seat 72 is laterally movable on the pressing frame 71. The pressing cylinder 73 is mounted on the pressing movable seat 72. The pressing plate 74 is connected to the pressing cylinder 73 and is driven to rise and fall by the pressing cylinder 73. The pressing plate 74 is located above the conveying mechanism 2. After the vacuum insulation panel is conveyed to the designated position by the conveying mechanism 2, the pressing cylinder 73 drives the pressing plate 74 to move downward, so that the pressing plate 74 presses against the vacuum insulation panel, thereby preventing displacement of the vacuum insulation panel during folding. Since the pressing movable seat 72 is laterally movable on the pressing frame 71, the position of the pressing plate 74 can be adjusted, making it suitable for vacuum insulation panels of different widths.

[0034] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
