Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain paper bowl technology, and in particular to a paper chain folding device. Background Technology
[0002] Taking Chuxiong, Yunnan as an example, in fragmented tobacco-growing areas, the regions suitable for tobacco cultivation are characterized by wide overall distribution, small individual areas, and inconvenient transportation between areas. Tobacco transplanting is still mainly done manually, supplemented by small semi-automatic transplanting machines. This results in low transplanting efficiency, and it is difficult to achieve efficient transplanting using large-scale transplanting machinery. Furthermore, the operation of semi-automatic transplanting machines requires a large number of personnel to manually feed the tobacco seedlings one by one into the machine. Prolonged operation leads to worker fatigue, often resulting in missed seedlings. Moreover, due to limitations in human physiological reaction speed, the transplanting speed is low, only about 1 seedling per second, only 2-5 times that of manual planting. This severely restricts the widespread application of transplanting machines and increases the burden of transplanting tobacco seedlings.
[0003] Chain-type paper pots are seeding containers that improve the transplanting efficiency of semi-automatic transplanting machinery. Existing chain-type paper pots can be applied to the cultivation of vegetables, flowers, and other crops. Chain-type paper pots come in two forms: paper chain and paper book. In the paper chain form, multiple individual paper pots are arranged according to the required plant spacing for the crop, facilitating transplanting and planting. In the paper book form, the continuous paper strip is folded to arrange the individual paper pots in at least two rows, making storage and seedling cultivation more convenient and significantly reducing the space required for storage and seedling cultivation. However, manually folding the chain-type paper pots from the paper chain form to the paper book form is time-consuming and labor-intensive, greatly limiting the application of chain-type paper pots.
[0004] Based on the above, there is an urgent need for a paper chain folding device to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a paper chain folding device that can reduce the time and labor costs of folding chain paper bowls.

[0012] Preferably, the folding knife assembly includes two folding knife components, two first vertical drive components, a timing belt, and a first horizontal drive component. The first horizontal drive component drives the timing belt to rotate. The two first vertical drive components are mounted on the timing belt, and each first vertical drive component is connected to one folding knife component.
[0013] As the timing belt rotates, the two first vertical drive members synchronously approach or move away from each other along the width direction of the paper chain.

[0015] Preferably, the folding assembly includes a second vertical drive member, a second horizontal drive member, a mounting plate, and a suction member. The suction member is mounted on the mounting plate and used to suction the paper chain. The mounting plate, the second vertical drive member, and the second horizontal drive member are sequentially connected. The second horizontal drive member can move the suction member, the mounting plate, and the second vertical drive member along the length direction of the paper chain. The second vertical drive member can move the mounting plate and the suction member along the thickness direction of the paper chain.
[0016] Preferably, the folding assembly includes two suction members, each of which is capable of independently suctioning the paper chain. Along the length of the paper chain, the two suction members are spaced apart on the side of the mounting plate facing the folding plate.
[0017] Preferably, the folding assembly further includes an optical axis and a spring. The optical axis is fixedly disposed on one of the mounting plate and the suction member, and the other of the mounting plate and the suction member is slidably mounted on the optical axis. The axial direction of the optical axis is arranged along the thickness direction of the paper chain. The spring is connected to the suction member and can drive the suction member to move in a direction closer to the folding plate.
[0018] Preferably, the paper chain folding device further includes a pressing and shaping assembly, which includes a shaping plate, a pressing plate, and a third vertical drive member. The shaping plate is fixedly arranged, the pressing plate is arranged above the shaping plate, and the third vertical drive member is throttledly connected to the pressing plate and can drive the pressing plate to move in directions closer to and away from the shaping plate.

By controlling the movement distance of the folding blade assembly and the folding assembly, the paper chain can be folded according to various preset sizes. This allows for folding the paper chain using at least one folding method, achieving the effect of tightly arranging multiple individual paper pots and concealing the paper strip. This significantly reduces the volume of the chain-type paper pot in the paper booklet form, thereby helping to reduce seedling costs, storage costs, and transportation costs.

[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0041] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0042] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0043] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and "left," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0044] The following is based on the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 11 This invention introduces the paper chain folding device. It should be noted that, for ease of description, in this invention, the chain-type paper bowl in the paper chain form is defined as paper chain 10, while the chain-type paper bowl in the paper book form is defined as paper book.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the paper chain folding device mainly includes a folding plate 1, a folding assembly 3, and two folding blade assemblies 2. The folding plate 1 is positioned below the folding assembly 3 and the folding blade assemblies 2. The folding assembly 3 and the folding blade assemblies 2 each include a driving component to move their positions.
[0046] Specifically, the folding assembly 3 includes a suction member 31, which can be a suction cup or a structural component with suction holes. The suction member 31 is connected to a negative pressure supply pipe, which can suck up the paper chain 10 through negative pressure. After the folding assembly 3 sucks up the paper chain 10, it can move a part of the paper chain 10, thereby mimicking the manual folding method to achieve the folding of the paper chain 10.
[0047] Two folding blade assemblies 2 are spaced apart along the length of the paper chain 10, and each folding blade assembly 2 can be adjusted in position along both the length and width of the paper chain 10. Either folding blade assembly 2 can press and fix a portion of the paper chain 10 to the folding plate 1, thereby cooperating with the folding assembly 3 to achieve bending of the paper chain 10.
[0048] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the paper chain 10 initially forms a straight line. At this point, both folding blade assemblies 2 are moved above the paper chain 10, and then a portion of the paper chain 10 is pressed against the folding plate 1 by one of the folding blade assemblies 2. Figure 4 As shown, move the folding component 3 outside the two folding blade components 2, pick up the other part of the paper chain 10 and move it. Figure 5 As shown, by moving the folding assembly 3 upwards and horizontally, the portion of the paper chain 10 that is being sucked up can be moved above the portion of the paper chain 10 that is being pressed, thus making the paper chain 10 appear in a "Z" shape (or an inverted "Z" shape). Figure 6 As shown, due to the force applied to the paper chain 10, two bends are formed (for ease of discussion, the bend closer to the folding plate 1 is defined as the lower bend, and the bend further away from the folding plate 1 is defined as the upper bend). By controlling the length of the paper chain 10 pressed by the folding knife assembly 2 and the distance moved by the folding assembly 3, the paper chain 10 can be folded to a preset length, thereby folding the paper strip between the two individual paper bowls on the paper chain 10. This achieves the effect of tightly arranging multiple individual paper bowls and hiding the paper strip, thus transforming the chain paper bowl from the form of the paper chain 10 into the form of a paper book, and also greatly reducing the volume of the chain paper bowl in the form of a paper book.
[0049] It should be noted that, in the two bends, the lower bend, due to the combined action of the folding assembly 3 and the folding blade assembly 2, allows its inner side to conform to the outer surface of the folding blade assembly 2, thus precisely controlling the folding direction. The upper bend, being farther from the folding blade assembly 2, is more prone to deviation in the folding direction. In this case, if... Figure 6As shown, the folding blade assembly 2, located away from the lower bend, can be moved to the inside of the upper bend and moved horizontally away from the other folding blade assembly 2. This allows the inside of the upper bend to also adhere to the outer surface of the folding blade assembly 2, tightening the paper chain 10 and precisely controlling the folding direction. Finally, by moving the folding assembly 3 vertically, the multiple layers of paper chains 10 can be pressed together and fixed with glue, thereby forming a paper booklet (such as...). Figure 7 (As shown).
[0050] The paper chain folding device described above can automatically fold the paper chain 10 to form a paper booklet, reducing the folding cost of the chain-type paper pot and facilitating its widespread application. By controlling the moving distance of the folding blade assembly 2 and the folding assembly 3, the paper chain 10 can be folded according to various preset sizes. This allows the paper chain 10 to be folded using at least one folding method, achieving the effect of tightly arranging multiple individual paper pots and hiding the paper strip. This significantly reduces the volume of the chain-type paper pot in the paper booklet form, thereby helping to reduce seedling costs, storage costs, and transportation costs.
[0051] It should be noted that, since the folding blade assembly 2 needs to move from one side of the paper chain 10 to the other side during the folding process, the folding blade assembly 2 also needs to be able to move along the width direction of the paper chain 10. For example... Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the folding knife assembly 2 includes a folding knife component 21, a first vertical drive component 22, and a first horizontal drive component 23. The folding knife component 21, the first vertical drive component 22, and the first horizontal drive component 23 are sequentially connected. The first horizontal drive component 23 can move the folding knife component 21 and the first vertical drive component 22 along the width direction of the paper chain 10, and the first vertical drive component 22 can move the folding knife component 21 along the thickness direction of the paper chain 10.
[0052] Preferably, to improve the speed at which the folding blade assembly 2 presses and releases the paper chain 10, each folding blade assembly 2 includes two folding blades 21, two first vertical drive members 22, a timing belt 24, and a first horizontal drive member 23. The output end of the first horizontal drive member 23 is connected to a timing pulley, and the timing belt 24 is fitted onto the timing pulley, enabling the first horizontal drive member 23 to drive the timing belt 24 to rotate. The two first vertical drive members 22 are mounted on the timing belt 24, and each first vertical drive member 22 is correspondingly connected to one folding blade 21. Furthermore, one first vertical drive member 22 is connected to a portion of the timing belt 24 located on one side of the timing pulley, and the other first vertical drive member 22 is connected to another portion of the timing belt 24 located on the other side of the timing pulley. Thus, when the timing belt 24 rotates, along the width direction of the paper chain 10, the two first vertical drive members 22 can synchronously approach or move away from each other, thereby allowing the distance between the two folding blades 21 to increase and decrease rapidly.
[0053] When the distance between the two folding blades 21 is reduced to less than the width of the paper chain 10, both folding blades 21 can abut against the paper chain 10, thereby stably pressing the paper chain 10 against the folding plate 1. When the distance between the two folding blades 21 is increased to greater than the width of the paper chain 10, the folding blade assembly 2 can be easily moved from one side of the paper chain 10 to the other side (e.g., from below the paper chain 10 to above the paper chain 10) without interfering with the paper chain 10. It is understandable that compared to moving only one folding blade 21, moving both folding blades 21 simultaneously can greatly shorten the time required for the distance change, thereby improving the folding efficiency.
[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 8 As shown, the folding assembly 3 includes a second vertical drive member 32, a second horizontal drive member 33, a mounting plate 34, and a suction member 31. The suction member 31 is mounted on the mounting plate 34 and is used to suction the paper chain 10. The mounting plate 34, the second vertical drive member 32, and the second horizontal drive member 33 are sequentially connected. The second horizontal drive member 33 can move the suction member 31, the mounting plate 34, and the second vertical drive member 32 along the length direction of the paper chain 10. The second vertical drive member 32 can move the mounting plate 34 and the suction member 31 along the thickness direction of the paper chain 10.
[0055] Specifically, the suction member 31 adopts a structural component with suction holes or suction grooves, which, compared to a suction cup, can achieve suction with a larger area and enable stable movement of the paper chain 10. Preferably, in this embodiment, as Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the folding assembly 3 includes two suction members 31, each capable of independently suctioning the paper chain 10. Along the length of the paper chain 10, the two suction members 31 are spaced apart on the side of the mounting plate 34 facing the folding plate 1. The two suction members 31 can suction and move the paper chain 10 independently, or they can suction together. When suctioning independently, the distance the second horizontal drive member 33 needs to move is reduced, thereby shortening the movement time required for the mounting plate 34 and accelerating the folding efficiency. When suctioning together, it is suitable for heavier paper chains 10.
[0056] More preferably, the folding assembly 3 further includes an optical axis 35 and a spring. The optical axis 35 is fixedly disposed on one of the mounting plate 34 and the suction member 31, and the other of the mounting plate 34 and the suction member 31 is slidably mounted on the optical axis 35. The axial direction of the optical axis 35 is arranged along the thickness direction of the paper chain 10. The spring is drivenly connected to the suction member 31 and can drive the suction member 31 to move in a direction closer to the folding plate 1. When the suction member 31 presses the paper chain 10 against the folding plate 1, or when the suction member 31 abuts against the paper chain 10 for suction, the spring can be compressed and deformed, thereby avoiding excessive pressure between the suction member 31 and the paper chain 10 and protecting the structural integrity of the suction member 31 and the paper chain 10.
[0057] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the folding blade component 21 includes a first part 211 and a second part 212. One end of the first part 211 is connected to the first vertical drive component 22, and the other end of the first part 211 is connected to the second part 212. The first part 211 extends along the length direction of the paper chain 10, and the second part 212 extends along the width direction of the paper chain 10. The second part 212 is used to abut against the paper chain 10, and when the distance between the second parts 212 is at its minimum, the distance between the first parts 211 is still greater than the width of the paper chain 10. This arrangement allows for a uniform tension to be applied to the paper chain 10 when the two folding blade assemblies 2 tighten the two bent portions of the paper chain 10, thereby preventing deviation.
[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the paper chain folding device further includes a pressing and shaping assembly 4. The pressing and shaping assembly 4 includes a shaping plate 41, a pressing plate 42, and a third vertical drive member 43. The shaping plate 41 is fixedly disposed, and the pressing plate 42 is disposed above the shaping plate 41. The third vertical drive member 43 is tractively connected to the pressing plate 42 and can drive the pressing plate 42 to move towards and away from the shaping plate 41. When the paper chain 10 reaches the pressing and shaping assembly 4 in a bent posture, its shape can be stabilized by pressing.
[0059] Optionally, in some embodiments, adhesive is applied to the surface of the paper chain 10 manually or automatically before folding. The paper chain folding device further includes a hot-pressing assembly 5, which comprises a heating element, a first plate 51, a second plate 52, and a fourth vertical drive element 53. The heating element heats at least one of the first plate 51 and the second plate 52. The fourth vertical drive element 53 is drively connected to at least one of the first plate 51 and the second plate 52 and can drive the first plate 51 and the second plate 52 to approach and move away from each other. By heating and pressing, the time required for adhesive curing can be greatly shortened, thereby further improving folding efficiency.
[0060] It should be noted that, in any of the above embodiments, the paper chain folding device further includes a paper feeding assembly, which includes structures such as a transmission roller, and is capable of transmitting the paper chain 10 through the folding plate 1, thereby folding the paper chain 10.
