[0002] Currently, the zipper opening mechanism on packaging machines is achieved by the coordinated movement of multiple cylinders and is independent of the bag opening mechanism. Therefore, its actions have a relatively strong logical relationship, resulting in limited bag opening speed and a large space occupation. Alternatively, although it is integrated with the bag opening mechanism, it is a guide channel mechanism, which has a large area of sliding friction and poses a risk of foreign objects.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a zipper opening device for packaging bags to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a zipper-opening device for packaging bags, including:
[0025] The power transmission module includes a front opening bag shaft 1 and a rear opening bag shaft 2 driven by a power source. The front opening bag shaft 1 and the rear opening bag shaft 2 achieve synchronous movement through gear 3 meshing.
[0026] The guide module includes a bracket 4 fixed to the front opening bag shaft 1 and the rear opening bag shaft 2 respectively. The bracket 4 has a front opening bag guide shaft 10 and a rear opening bag guide shaft 11 fixed on it to constrain the movement trajectory of the opening bag shaft.
[0027] The adsorption positioning module includes a bag-opening suction cup 5 mounted on a bracket 4, which fixes the opening of the packaging bag by vacuum adsorption.
[0028] The execution module includes a pull rod 6 hinged to the bracket 4, a gripper 7 connected to the pull rod 6, and a guide block 8 rotatably connected to the gripper 7 via a shaft 12;
[0029] The pneumatic control module includes a cylinder 9 that drives the guide block 8 to move. The cylinder 9 drives the guide block 8 to rotate the gripper 7 around the shaft 12, thereby realizing the clamping or releasing action of the gripper 7.
[0030] This invention includes a power transmission module, a guiding module, an adsorption and positioning module, a gripper 7 execution module, and a pneumatic control module. These modules work together to achieve the automatic zipper opening function of the packaging bag. The synchronous movement of the front opening shaft 1 and the rear opening shaft 2, driven by the power source, ensures the stability and accuracy of the bag opening process. This invention significantly reduces the installation space of the zipper opening mechanism, and the reduced drive source allows for increased zipper opening speed. The absence of significant sliding friction reduces the risk of foreign objects entering the bag.
[0031] The design was further optimized by using a spur gear of equal module 3. Gear slots that mesh with gear 3 are respectively provided on the front opening shaft 1 and the rear opening shaft 2, ensuring consistent movement speeds of the two shafts. This helps maintain synchronization and stability during the bag opening process, preventing opening failures or damage to the packaging bag due to inconsistent speeds.
[0032] The design is further optimized by arranging the front opening guide shaft 10 and the rear opening guide shaft 11 in parallel, and perpendicular to the axial directions of the front opening shaft 1 and the rear opening shaft 2, respectively, thus providing linear motion guidance for the support 4. This helps ensure the stable movement of the support 4 during the bag opening process, improving the accuracy and reliability of the bag opening.
[0033] The design has been further optimized, with the curved surface at the end of the gripper 7 preventing punctures to the packaging bag. This helps protect the integrity of the packaging bag and avoids material leakage or contamination caused by damage.
[0034] The design was further optimized by using a double-acting cylinder 9. The piston rod stroke and the opening / closing angle of the gripper 7 are controlled in conjunction with each other via a lever ratio of the guide block 8. This helps to precisely control the opening and closing action of the gripper 7, improving the automation and accuracy of the bag opening process.
[0035] The design was further optimized by connecting the bag-opening suction cup 5 to the vacuum device via a solenoid valve, and synchronizing the triggering of the vacuum suction action with the closing motion signals of the front bag-opening shaft 1 and the rear bag-opening shaft 2. This ensures that the packaging bag is stably held in place during the opening process, preventing opening failures caused by bag movement.
[0036] Further optimization involves installing a lower stopper 13 on the support 4. When clamped, the gripper 7 works in conjunction with the lower stopper 13 to grip the packaging bag. The synchronous, counter-clockwise movements of the front opening shaft 1 and the rear opening shaft 2, combined with the clamping force between the gripper 7 and the lower stopper 13, achieve zipper separation. This synchronized, counter-clockwise movement of the front and rear opening shafts, along with the clamping force between the gripper 7 and the lower stopper 13, helps to grip the packaging bag more stably and effectively separate the zipper, improving the success rate and efficiency of opening the bag.
[0037] The design has been further optimized by making the lower stopper 13 from a flexible silicone material. Its surface contacts the end of the gripper 7, enhancing clamping stability. This improves clamping stability and reduces opening failures caused by unstable clamping. Simultaneously, the flexible silicone material also provides cushioning, helping to protect the packaging bag from damage.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] The reciprocating motion of opening the bag is achieved by connecting the front opening shaft 1 and the rear opening shaft 2 through gear 3. The support 4 is fixed with an opening suction cup 5 and a pull rod 6. The opening suction cup 5 is connected to a vacuum tube, and the pull rod 6 is connected to a gripper 7. The pull rod 6 guides the gripper 7 to open at a specific angle and move down to clamp the packaging bag. After clamping the packaging bag, it cooperates with the lower leather plug 13 to clamp the packaging bag. The gripper 7 is controlled by the cylinder 9 to achieve the clamping and releasing operation. The support 4 is also connected to a guide rod to ensure the guidance of the opening shaft when the support 4 moves. The reciprocating motion of the opening shaft drives the opening suction cup 5. When the opening suction cups 5 on both sides contact the packaging bag, the vacuum tube is turned on to suck open the packaging bag. When the packaging bag opening is opened a certain distance, the cylinder 9 pushes the gripper 7. The gripper 7 on both sides clamps the packaging bag, and the opening shaft resets to open the packaging bag and zipper.
