Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wet wipe production technology, specifically a folding device for wet wipe production. Background Technology
[0002] Wet wipes are moist tissues used to wipe the skin. Wet wipes on the market can be roughly divided into two categories. One type is disinfected itself but cannot disinfect other items. It contains skin care ingredients and can only be used for moisturizing and maintaining the skin. The other type is disinfecting wet wipes, which are not only disinfected themselves but can also disinfect other items. They can be used to disinfect or sterilize skin abrasions, scratches, etc. The disinfecting or sterilizing ingredients are usually indicated on the packaging.
[0003] In the production of wet wipes, the cut wet wipe sheets need to be folded and then packaged in packaging bags. However, the traditional wet wipe folding method relies entirely on manual labor, which wastes manpower and has low folding efficiency, making it unsuitable for large-scale production. Furthermore, the folded wet wipes are directly sent to the next process, and the folded wet wipe sheets are not effectively flattened, which easily leads to wrinkles and affects product quality. In view of this, a folding device for wet wipe production is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a new technical solution: a folding device for wet wipe production, including a workbench 1, and a groove 3 is provided on the upper surface of the workbench 1;
[0033] The workbench 1 is equipped with a folding mechanism, which includes a storage plate 2, an electric push rod 4, a rack 5, a gear 6, a transmission roller 7, a bearing seat 8, a folding plate 9, a moving guide rail 10, a moving block 11, a gantry frame 12, a fixed roller 13, a motor 14, a cam 15, a fixed plate 16, a sliding roller 17, a pulley 18, a spring 19, and a flattening roller 20.
[0034] Furthermore, the shelf 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1, and the electric push rod 4 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1.
[0035] Among them, the rack 5 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric push rod 4, and the rack 5 is slidably sleeved in the inner wall of the slide groove 3.
[0036] Furthermore, the gear 6 is meshed with the outer surface of the rack 5, and the transmission roller 7 is fixedly sleeved on the inner surface of the gear 6;
[0037] Two bearing seats 8 are fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the transmission roller 7, and both bearing seats 8 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the worktable 1.
[0038] The folding plate 9 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the transmission roller 7.
[0039] Furthermore, two movable guide rails 10 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the worktable 1, and two movable blocks 11 are slidably sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two movable guide rails 10 respectively.
[0040] The two uprights of the gantry frame 12 are fixedly installed on the upper surfaces of the two moving blocks 11.
[0041] Furthermore, the fixed roller 13 is rotatably connected to the opposite surfaces of the two vertical plates of the gantry frame 12, and the rear end of the fixed roller 13 passes through the rear surface of the gantry frame 12.
[0042] Among them, the motor 14 is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the gantry frame 12, and the motor 14 is fixedly connected to the fixed roller 13;
[0043] Two cams 15 are fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed roller 13.
[0044] Furthermore, two fixed plates 16 are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two vertical plates of the gantry frame 12, and two sliding rollers 17 are respectively slidably sleeved on the inner surfaces of the two fixed plates 16.
[0045] Furthermore, two springs 19 are respectively fixedly installed on the upper surfaces of two fixed plates 16, two pulleys 18 are respectively fixedly installed on the upper ends of two springs 19, and two pulleys 18 are respectively fixedly installed on the upper ends of two sliding rollers 17.
[0046] Among them, the flattening roller 20 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the two sliding rollers 17;
[0047] This wet wipe production folding device works as follows: When wet wipes need to be folded, they are placed on the placement plate 2, and the electric push rod 4 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 4 extends, driving the rack 5 to slide within the slide groove 3. Since the rack 5 meshes with the gear 6, the linear motion of the rack 5 is converted into the rotation of the gear 6. The rotation of the gear 6 drives the transmission roller 7 to rotate, which in turn causes the folding plate 9, which is fixedly mounted on the transmission roller 7, to rotate. When the folding plate 9 rotates to the appropriate position, the wet wipe is folded. At the same time, the motor 14 is activated, driving the fixed roller 13 to rotate. When the fixed roller 13 rotates, the two cams 15 mounted on its outer surface also rotate. During the rotation of the cams 15, they push the pulley 18 to move up and down. The pulley 18 is connected to the fixed plate 16 via the spring 19. When the pulley 18 is pushed downwards, it compresses the spring 19, simultaneously causing the sliding roller 17 to move downwards. This causes the flattening roller 20, fixedly mounted at the lower end of the sliding roller 17, to move downwards, flattening the folded wet wipes. When the cam 15 continues to rotate and no longer applies pressure to the pulley 18, the spring 19 returns to its elastic deformation, causing the pulley 18 and sliding roller 17 to move upwards, lifting the flattening roller 20. During this process, the gantry frame 12 can move within a certain range by sliding the moving block 11 on the moving guide rail 10 to adapt to the flattening requirements of wet wipes at different positions. The entire device, through the cooperation of its components, achieves the folding and flattening of wet wipes.
[0048] This wet wipe production folding device uses an electric push rod 4 to drive a rack 5, which in turn drives a gear 6 and a transmission roller 7 to rotate, causing the folding plate 9 to fold. This transmission method can accurately control the folding angle and force, ensuring the consistency and stability of wet wipe folding and improving folding efficiency. In this wet wipe production folding device, a motor 14 drives a fixed roller 13 and a cam 15 to rotate. The cam 15 pushes a pulley 18, a sliding roller 17, and a flattening roller 20 to move up and down, flattening the folded wet wipes. At the same time, the spring 19 can automatically adjust the pressure of the flattening roller 20 according to the thickness and material of the wet wipes, ensuring a uniform and stable flattening effect and avoiding damage to the wet wipes. The flattened wet wipes are less prone to wrinkles, making them smoother and more convenient to use.
[0049] Structural Description:
[0050] Workbench 1: Serves as the basic support structure for the entire device, providing a platform for the installation and operation of other components.
[0051] Shelf 2: Used to place wet wipes to be folded, serving to position and support them, ensuring that the wet wipes have a stable starting position during the folding process.
[0052] Slide 3: Provides a sliding track for rack 5, ensuring that rack 5 can move smoothly along a specific direction, thereby precisely controlling the movement of associated components.
[0053] Electric push rod 4: As one of the power sources, it pushes the rack 5 to slide in the slide groove 3 through telescopic movement, thereby driving other components to complete the corresponding actions and realizing the power transmission of the folding process.
[0054] Rack 5: Connected to the output end of electric push rod 4, it converts the linear motion of electric push rod 4 into the rotational motion of gear 6, and slides in the slide groove 3, playing the role of transmission and guidance.
[0055] Gear 6 meshes with rack 5 and rotates under the push of rack 5, driving transmission roller 7 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of folding plate 9 and completing the folding action of wet wipes.
[0056] Transmission roller 7: It is fixedly sleeved on the inner surface of gear 6, and transmits the rotational motion of gear 6 to folding plate 9. At the same time, it is mounted on worktable 1 through bearing seats 8 at both ends to ensure the stability of rotation.
[0057] Bearing seat 8: It is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the transmission roller 7 and installed on the worktable 1. It is used to support the transmission roller 7, reduce friction and shaking during rotation, and enable the transmission roller 7 to rotate smoothly.
[0058] Folding plate 9: It is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the transmission roller 7 and rotates with the rotation of the transmission roller 7. It performs the folding operation on the wet wipes to be folded and is the key component to realize the folding function of wet wipes.
[0059] Moving guide rail 10: Fixedly installed on the workbench 1, it provides sliding guidance for the moving block 11, enabling the moving block 11 to move smoothly within a certain range, thereby driving the gantry frame 12 and related components to move.
[0060] Movable block 11: It is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the movable guide rail 10, connecting the gantry 12 and the movable guide rail 10. It moves on the movable guide rail 10, driving the gantry 12 to move as a whole, so as to adjust the position of the gantry 12 and the fixed roller 13, the flattening roller 20 and other components to adapt to the folding requirements of different specifications of wet wipes.
[0061] Gantry 12: Its two upright plates are respectively installed on the upper surface of the two moving blocks 11, forming a frame structure that supports components such as fixed roller 13, motor 14, cam 15, and fixed plate 16, ensuring the relative positional relationship of these components so that they can work together.
[0062] Fixed roller 13: Rotatably connected to the opposite surfaces of the two vertical plates of the gantry frame 12, with its rear end penetrating the rear surface of the gantry frame 12 and fixedly connected to the motor 14. It rotates under the drive of the motor 14, and at the same time drives the cam 15 fixedly sleeved on its outer surface to rotate, providing power and motion basis for the subsequent flattening action.
[0063] Motor 14: Fixedly installed on the rear surface of gantry 12, providing rotational power to fixed roller 13. By controlling the speed and direction of motor 14, the movement of fixed roller 13 and cam 15 can be precisely controlled, thereby affecting the operating frequency and amplitude of flattening roller 20.
[0064] Cam 15: It is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed roller 13 and rotates with the rotation of the fixed roller 13. Through its special contour shape, it pushes the sliding roller 17 in contact with it to move up and down reciprocally, thereby driving the flattening roller 20 to flatten the folded wet wipe.
[0065] Fixed plate 16: Fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two vertical plates of the gantry frame 12, used to install and fix the sliding roller 17, providing the sliding roller 17 with a track and support for its up and down sliding, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of its movement.
[0066] Sliding roller 17: It is slidably sleeved on the inner surface of the fixed plate 16 and moves up and down under the push of the cam 15. At the same time, it is connected to the fixed plate 16 through the spring 19 and the pulley 18, converting the rotational motion of the cam 15 into its own up and down linear motion, driving the flattening roller 20 to achieve the function of flattening the wet wipes.
[0067] Pulley 18: It is fixedly installed on the upper end of spring 19 and upper end of sliding roller 17. On the one hand, it is connected to fixed plate 16 through spring 19, which plays the role of buffering and resetting; on the other hand, when sliding roller 17 moves up and down, pulley 18 rolls on the upper surface of fixed plate 16, reducing friction and making the movement of sliding roller 17 smoother.
[0068] Spring 19: It is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed plate 16 and connects the pulley 18 and the fixed plate 16. It is compressed when the cam 15 pushes the sliding roller 17 to move downward and stores elastic potential energy. When the cam 15 rotates to a certain position and no longer applies pressure to the sliding roller 17, the spring 19 releases the elastic potential energy and pushes the sliding roller 17 to reset upward, realizing the reciprocating motion of the flattening roller 20.
[0069] Flattening roller 20: Fixedly installed at the lower end of two sliding rollers 17, it moves up and down under the drive of the sliding rollers 17 to flatten the folded wet wipes, making the folded parts of the wet wipes flatter and improving product quality.
[0070] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
