The two sets of detection rods 125 are slidably connected in the two sets of detection grooves 126.

[0027] The control motor 404 can rotate in both directions. Starting the control motor 404 drives the control screw 405 to rotate in the forward direction. The control screw 405 drives the two sets of control slide plates 406 to rotate. Both sets of control slide plates 406 are square plates and are slidably connected in the control groove 403. Under the limit of the control groove 403, the two sets of control slide plates 406 move closer to each other. The two sets of control slide plates 406 respectively drive the two sets of connecting motors 501 to move closer to each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of flat blocks 507 on the two sets of connecting mechanisms 5 to adapt to films of different widths. In use, the film is passed through the bottom of the two sets of flat blocks 507 set at the top of the second bracket 3. The two sets of flat blocks 507 are located at the front and rear ends of the top of the film. The film is passed through the first roller 602 set on the right side of the second bracket 3, then through the bottom of the second roller 702 set at the top of the first bracket 2, and then through the bottom of the two sets of flat blocks 507 set at the top of the first bracket 2.

[0028] Two sets of connecting motors 501 are installed on the top of the second bracket 3. The connecting motors 501 drive the connecting rod 502 to rotate, the connecting rod 502 drives the connecting plate 503 to rotate, the connecting plate 503 drives the connecting slide plate 506 to rotate, and the connecting slide plate 506 drives the flattening block 507 to rotate. During this process, the connecting slide plate 506 moves downward under the elastic force of the connecting spring 505. The connecting slide plate 506 drives the flattening block 507 to move downward, so that the flattening block 507 applies pressure to the film when it rotates. The flattening block 507 is cross-shaped. The two sets of flattening blocks 507 rotate on the front and rear sides of the top of the film respectively, pushing the folded position of the film back to its original position, thereby flattening one side of the film. The two sets of connecting motors 501 installed on the top of the first bracket 2 drive the two sets of flattening blocks 507 to flatten the other two sides of the film.

[0029] After passing through the first roller 602 located on the left side of the first support 2, the film passes through the bottom of the second roller 702 located on the top left side of the base plate 1 and the bottom of the pressing plate 903. After passing through the bottom of the detection roller 124, the film is connected to the winding device. The two sets of support slide plates 804 move downward under the elastic force of the two sets of support springs 805. The two sets of support slide plates 804 drive the pressing top plate 901 to move downward. The pressing top plate 901 drives the two sets of pressing rods 902 to move downward. The pressing rods 902 drive the pressing plate 903 to move downward. The pressing plate 903 matches the base plate 1. The film is pressed flat, and the distance sensor 122 is connected to the external controller. At the same time, the film passes through the detection roller 124. When the film thickness is inconsistent, the detection roller 124 will drive the two sets of detection rods 125 to slide up and down in the two sets of detection slots 126 respectively. The distance sensor 122 can measure the distance the detection roller 124 moves up and down. By setting multiple sets of distance sensors 122 to compare the data, the thickness of the plastic film can be determined to be within the required range. When the data is unqualified, the distance sensor 122 sends a signal to the controller for warning.

[0030] The input terminals of all electrical equipment in this device are electrically connected to an external power source.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
