[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4 As shown, a feeding mechanism for a packaging machine includes a frame 1. A conveying line (not shown in the figure) parallel to the conveyor line 3 is provided on one side of the frame 1 for placing the wet wipe material 2 after handling. A control panel is provided on the frame 1 for controlling the electrical components and cylinder components to execute corresponding commands. The upper end of the frame 1 is provided with the conveyor line 3 for conveying the wet wipe material 2. The wet wipe material 2 moves on the conveyor line 3 towards the side closer to the conveying component. A guide component for clamping the wet wipe material 2 and preventing deviation is provided above the conveyor line 3. A conveying component for transferring the wet wipe material 2 is provided on the side of the guide component near the unloading end of the conveyor line 3. A positioning component for positioning the wet wipe material 2 is provided below the conveying component. Before the mechanism is used, it is checked whether the mechanism can be used normally. Then, the guide component is adjusted according to the size and specifications of the wet wipe material 2 so that the mechanism is ready for use.

[0025] The guiding assembly includes a first bracket 4 symmetrically arranged at both ends of the frame 1. A guide cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the first bracket 4 away from the frame 1 to facilitate fixing the position of the guide cylinder 5. A baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the guide cylinder 5 to facilitate adjusting the position of the baffle 6. The baffle 6 is arranged above the conveyor line 3. A traction component is also provided between the frame 1 and the baffle 6 to improve the smooth movement of the baffle 6.

[0026] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the conveying assembly includes a support plate 7, which is connected to the frame 1 via a connecting plate (not shown in the figure). The connecting plate serves to fix the position of the support plate 7. A drive motor 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the support plate 7 away from the conveyor line 3. The output end of the drive motor 8 passes through the support plate 7 and is fixedly connected to the first synchronous pulley 9. A second synchronous pulley 10 is provided above the first synchronous pulley 9. The second synchronous pulley 10 is rotatably connected to the support plate 7. The second synchronous pulley 10 and the first synchronous pulley 9 are connected by a synchronous belt 11. After the drive motor 8 starts, it drives the first synchronous pulley 9 to rotate, and then drives the second synchronous pulley 10 to rotate with the cooperation of the synchronous belt 11. At this time, the rotating plate 12 rotates with the corresponding synchronous pulley as the axis, thereby enabling the conveying assembly to move the conveyor belt 10. The wet wipe material 2 is transferred from the conveyor line 3 to the conveyor line on the other side to achieve the feeding effect. Then the drive motor 8 reverses so that the vacuum suction cup 14 can reach the top of the U-shaped placement groove again for the next handling operation. The second synchronous wheel 10 and the first synchronous wheel 9 are both fixedly connected to the side away from the support plate 7 with rotating plates 12. The two rotating plates 12 are parallel to each other. The other end of the rotating plate 12 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate 13. The lower end of the vertical plate 13 is fixedly provided with a vacuum suction cup 14. The vacuum suction cup 14 is connected to a vacuum device (such as a vacuum generator) through a pipe to facilitate the suction effect. The surface of the vacuum suction cup 14 is provided with several sets of suction cups. The number of suction cup sets is consistent with the number of wet wipe materials 2 that the component handles at one time.

[0027] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the positioning assembly includes several fixed frames fixedly mounted on the upper end of the frame 1. A positioning cylinder 15 is fixedly installed on the upper end of each fixed frame. A clamping plate 16 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the positioning cylinder 15 to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the clamping plate 16. A U-shaped placement groove is formed between the clamping plates 16 to stack several wet wipe materials 2, which facilitates the clamping and positioning operation of the wet wipe materials 2. After the several wet wipe materials 2 are aligned, the clamping plate 16 is released to facilitate the subsequent handling operation of the vacuum suction cup 14.

[0028] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the traction component includes a symmetrically arranged second bracket 17, which is located on the side of the baffle 6 away from the transport component. A guide rod 18 is slidably mounted on the second bracket 17. One end of the guide rod 18 is fixedly connected to the baffle 6, and a limit block is fixedly mounted on the other end of the guide rod 18. When the guide cylinder 5 drives the baffle 6 to move, the guide rod 18 moves with the baffle 6. The guide rod 18 can increase the stability of the baffle 6 when it moves.

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a position sensor 19 for monitoring the position of the wet wipe material 2 is provided on one side of the frame 1, which facilitates real-time monitoring of the position of the wet wipe material 2 and allows the control panel to control the drive motor 8 and cylinder components to execute corresponding commands.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vacuum suction cup 14 is positioned corresponding to the U-shaped placement groove, enabling the vacuum suction cup 14 to smoothly transfer the wet wipe material 2 to another conveyor line.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The difference from Example 1 is that, as in Example 2, ... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the baffle 6 are provided with guide folds 20 to facilitate the movement of the wet wipe material 2, which can straighten the wet wipe material 2 that has deviated, thereby improving the efficiency of the mechanism.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a groove is provided on the surface of the support plate 7, and an adjusting wheel 21 for adjusting the tension of the timing belt 11 is provided inside the groove. The adjusting wheel 21 is connected to the support plate 7 by bolts, which facilitates the movement of the adjusting wheel 21 and thus adjusts the friction effect between it and the timing belt 11, thereby achieving the adjustment effect of the timing belt 11.

[0034] In use, several wet wipes 2 move towards the conveying component via the conveyor line 3. When the position sensor 19 detects that the wet wipes 2 have reached the position of the positioning component, the positioning cylinder 15 is activated. The clamping plate 16 clamps the wet wipes 2 and then releases it, thus completing the positioning operation. At the same time, the guide cylinder 5 in the guide component drives the baffle 6 to clamp the wet wipes 2 that have not reached the position, preventing the material behind from pushing the material in front. At this time, the drive motor 8 drives the vacuum suction cup 14 to move, thus being able to move several wet wipes 2 to the conveying line on one side, so that several wet wipes 2 can smoothly enter the next station, realizing the feeding operation of several wet wipes 2.

[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
