Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment, specifically to a bag opening mechanism for a packaging machine. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, there are situations where products cannot be used up in one go after the packaging is opened. If the product is exposed to air for a long time, it is prone to moisture and becomes unusable. In order to make it convenient for users to reseal the bag after opening and maintain the usability of the product, most existing packaging bags use blow-sealed bags. Blow-sealed bags have a bag opening from the bag mouth to the seal. During the product packaging process, the operator needs to pinch the two sides of the bag opening with their hands and apply force in opposite directions until the seal is opened for subsequent bagging and packaging, which results in high labor costs.
