[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] Example: Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic packaging machine for small tea cakes, including a mounting platform 1, and an automatic packaging mechanism 2 is provided on the top of the mounting platform 1;

[0026] The automatic packaging mechanism 2 includes a U-shaped plate 14. A horizontal cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner top wall of the U-shaped plate 14. When the horizontal cylinder 15 operates, it causes the connecting block 16 to move left and right, adjusting the position of the vertical cylinder 17. The output end of the horizontal cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 16, and the bottom of the connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the vertical cylinder 17. When the vertical cylinder 17 operates, it causes the suction cup 18 to move up and down, enabling it to pick up and put down the tea cake 20. The output end of the vertical cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the suction cup 18, which is located at the top of the belt conveyor 19. The suction cup 18 is the output end of the negative pressure component. When the negative pressure component operates, the bottom of the suction cup 18 generates negative pressure to suction the tea cake 20. The suction cup 18 is a commonly used material picking component in the packaging of tea cake 20. Since the technology is publicly available, it will not be described in detail. The top wall of the mounting platform 1 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends and the left and right sides of the top wall. The front two sets of connecting plates 3 are rotatably connected to the take-up roller 4, and the rear two sets of connecting plates 3 are rotatably connected to the feed roller 6. The feed roller 6 and the take-up roller 4 are connected by the feed belt 7. During the rotation of the take-up roller 4, it can pull and wind the feed belt 7, so that the feed belt 7 can contact the winding state and convey the unused packaging paper 8 to the positioning plate 9 and the packaging shell 11. Multiple sets of evenly distributed packaging paper 8 are arranged in the middle of the feed belt 7. The left side wall of the front left connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 5. The output end of the drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to the take-up roller 4. The drive motor 5 works to make the take-up roller 4 rotate.

[0027] The belt conveyor 19 is installed on the right side wall of the mounting platform 1. Multiple tea cakes 20 are evenly distributed on the top of the belt conveyor 19. A fixing rod 26 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top wall of the U-shaped plate 14. A positioning plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rod 26. A positioning groove 10 is provided in the middle of the positioning plate 9. The positioning groove 10 is set to determine the packaging position of the tea cake 20.

[0028] All packaging paper 8 are circular in shape, and the diameter of each packaging paper 8 is larger than that of the tea cake 20. A servo cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the middle of the left side wall of the U-shaped plate 14. The output end of the servo cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the packaging shell 11. During the operation of the servo cylinder 21, the packaging shell 11 can be moved left and right, which facilitates the subsequent feeding operation.

[0029] A lifting hole 12 is provided in the middle of the bottom wall of the packaging shell 11. A lifting block 24 is slidably connected through the inner side of the lifting hole 12. The top of the lifting block 24 is inclined. The lifting block 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 23. The lifting cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top wall of the base plate 22. The base plate 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the left inner wall of the U-shaped plate 14. Support rods 13 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom wall of the mounting platform 1. A receiving box 25 is provided at the rear left side of the mounting platform 1. The top of the lifting block 24 is inclined so that after the lifting block 24 pushes out the tea cake 20, the tea cake 20 will roll into the receiving box 25 along the inclined surface.

[0030] Working principle: When packaging tea cake 20 is required, the vertical cylinder 17 and the horizontal cylinder 15 are activated. The output end of the vertical cylinder 17 extends, causing the suction cup 18 to move downward. After the suction cup 18 contacts the tea cake 20 on the surface of the belt conveyor 19, it performs negative pressure to pick up the material. Then, under the action of the horizontal cylinder 15, it moves to the left to the inside of the positioning groove 10. After that, the vertical cylinder 17 works to push the tea cake 20 into the packaging shell 11. During the process of the tea cake 20 entering, the packaging paper 8 in the middle of the feeding belt 7 is separated from the feeding belt 7, and the tea cake 20 is packaged inside the packaging shell 11. After the packaging is completed, the servo cylinder 21 is activated. The output end of the servo cylinder 21 retracts, causing the packaging shell 11 to move to the left. Then, the lifting cylinder 23 is activated. The lifting cylinder 23 works to move the lifting block 24 upward, pushing out the internally packaged tea cake 20 and rolling it into the receiving box 25 for collection, thus completing the automatic unloading operation.
