Compared with traditional manual production, it can greatly improve production efficiency. The hourly output of a single machine can reach 100-500 catties, which meets the needs of large-scale production.
[0003] Currently, existing continuous folding packaging machines for thousand sheets mainly use suction cup robotic arms to grasp and feed the thousand sheets to be folded. However, due to external environmental factors, the surface of the thousand sheets is prone to dryness. In subsequent continuous operations, this problem directly affects the stability of the suction cup robotic arms in grasping and feeding operations, increases the probability of grasping failure, and also easily leads to an increase in the breakage rate of the thousand sheets during grasping. Therefore, a continuous folding packaging machine for thousand sheets is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

A spray tee 7 is fixedly installed at the top center of the spray square tube 6. The top inlet is connected to a clean water delivery pipe 8. Both sides of the spray tee 7 are connected to diversion bends 10. A solenoid valve 9 is fixedly installed at the front end of the spray tee 7. The bottom of the spray square tube 6 is connected to an atomizing nozzle 11. The two auxiliary uprights 2 on opposite sides are provided with guide grooves 12. The inner side of the guide groove 12 is slidably connected to a slider 13 that is fixedly connected to the side buckle plate 5. The middle position of the slider 13 is slidably connected to a guide rod 14. A spring 15 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 14.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a movable block located at the bottom edge of the mobile tablet 3 is slidably connected to a guide rail located at the top of the auxiliary frame 2. A drag chain drive host 18 is fixedly installed on the upper left side of the top surface of the control main box 1. A traction drag chain 17 is located at the lower front end of the drag chain drive host 18. The traction drag chain 17 is slidably connected to the top of the control main box 1. The head end of the traction drag chain 17 is fixedly connected to the movable block located at the bottom left edge of the mobile tablet 3. Under the auxiliary traction of the drag chain drive host 18 and the traction drag chain 17, the mobile tablet 3 can move back and forth with the two lifting suction cup manipulators 16 on the left and right sides. The gap between the two push rods 4 is provided with the lifting suction cup manipulator 16, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mobile tablet 3. Two lifting suction cup robotic arms 16 are provided, and they are arranged adjacent to each other in front and behind the atomizing nozzles 11. A shelf 22 is fixedly installed at the front end of the control main box 1 directly below the atomizing nozzles 11. The corresponding vertical arrangement facilitates the packaging equipment to accurately replenish and humidify the tofu sheets through multiple atomizing nozzles 11. A conveyor belt 19 is located at the rear of the top of the control main box 1. An electric telescopic rod 21 is fixedly installed at the top of the control main box 1 in front of the conveyor belt 19. A folding flip plate 20 is located adjacent to the side of the conveyor belt 19 away from the middle of the control main box 1. There are two folding flip plates 20 in total. This structure allows the packaging equipment to perform efficient folding operations on two sets of tofu sheets at the same time during operation.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front and rear ends of the guide rod 14 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide groove 12, the front and rear ends of the spring 15 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide groove 12 and one end of the slider 13, one side of the side buckle plate 5 is tightly fitted to one side of the auxiliary frame 2, the liquid inlet end of the spray square tube 6 and the liquid outlet end of the diversion bend 10 are connected, and there are two sets of atomizing nozzles 11. After the spring 15 is deformed under pressure, it will generate rebound potential energy so that after the lifting suction cup robot 16 completes the gripping work, the water replenishment and humidification structure can use the rebound potential energy to achieve rapid reset work.
[0023] Workflow: The electrical energy required for the packaging equipment in this utility model to start and run is all from an external power source. When the equipment starts and runs, the movable end of the electric telescopic rod 21 is in a state of transmission connection with the rotating shaft of the folding and turning plate 20. In the process of automatic production of bean products, this continuous folding packaging machine for tofu sheets is required. When processing the tofu sheets to be processed, first place the tofu sheets to be processed flat on the shelf 22. Under the connection of the control main box 1 and the auxiliary upright frame 2, first open the solenoid valve 9, and send the water into the spray tee 7 through the clean water well conveying pipe 8. Then, the liquid is fed into the spray square tube 6 through the diversion bend 10. With the upper and lower positions relatively opposite, the packaging equipment will use the mist brought out by multiple atomizing nozzles 11 to replenish and humidify the tofu sheets placed on the shelf 22. Subsequently, under the automatic control of the PLC main control system, the drag chain drive host 18 moves the drag chain 17 back and forth. Under the guidance of the top guide rail, the moving plate 3 moves back and forth with the two lifting suction cup robotic arms 16 on the left and right. The push rod 4 presses the side buckle plate 5 forward, and the slider 13 moves the side... The mounting plate 5, spray square pipe 6, spray tee 7, clean water delivery pipe 8, solenoid valve 9, diversion bend 10, and atomizing nozzle 11 move forward, compressing spring 15. Once the water replenishment and humidification assembly has moved into position, the lifting suction cup robot 16 moves to a position directly above the shelf 22 and then suctions and grabs the tofu sheets placed on the shelf 22. After the grabbing is completed, the moving plate 3, along with the traction chain 17, moves backward with the lifting suction cup robot 16, and the water replenishment and humidification assembly resets. Once the moving plate 3 has moved backward to a certain position, the lifting suction cup robot 16... 6. Place the tofu sheets to be processed onto the conveyor belt 19, with half of the sheets falling onto the folding and turning plate 20. At this time, start the electric telescopic rod 21 to drive the folding and turning plate 20. The folding and turning plate 20 will be rotated by the transmission force, thus completing the folding of the other half of the tofu sheets. Then, start the conveyor belt 19 to transport the folded tofu sheets backward so that they can be sent out of the entire packaging equipment. The single folding operation of the tofu sheets can be completed. The entire packaging equipment can then be used to continuously fold and package multiple tofu sheets by repeating the same operation.
