The ribbon hot-cutting device 10 includes a hot-cutting heating blade and a power unit for driving the hot-cutting heating blade's movement. Driven by the power unit, the hot-cutting heating blade can quickly and accurately complete the cutting and heat-sealing of the ribbon, resulting in neat cut edges and effectively preventing the ribbon from fraying or having rough edges, thus improving the product's aesthetics and durability. The single-petal picking device 13 includes a picking clamping cylinder and a power unit for driving the picking clamping cylinder's movement.The pneumatic clamping cylinder, driven by a power unit, can quickly and stably grasp individual rose petals, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in petal handling.

[0047] Working principle: At the start of production, the automatic ribbon feeding device 9, controlled by a PLC and a floating wheel sensor, ensures that the ribbon is output evenly. The ribbon supply device 12 connects to the ribbon and sends it to the ribbon heat cutting device 10, which uses heated blades to cut the ribbon evenly and prevent the cuts from sticking together.
[0048] The single-petal feeding device 13 is responsible for gripping the end of the ribbon. In conjunction with the ribbon positioning device 7 (which provides support and cooling), the ribbon is first fed into the double-sided 45° folding device 11 to complete the 45° diagonal folding of both ends of the petal, forming a preliminary double fold. Subsequently, the petal enters the middle double-sided folding device 8 for preliminary shaping and secondary folding to solidify the basic shape of the single-petal flower.
[0049] The forming, pressing, and welding device 14 intervenes at this stage to assist in folding the petals and completing the welding, shaping, and cooling processes to prevent petal deformation. The petals that have completed single-petal forming are then transported by the single-petal picking device 13 and docked with the rear-end rotating conveying device 6. The rear-end rotating conveying device 6 is responsible for smoothly and sequentially stacking the single-petal flowers onto the disc, typically stacking 11-13 flowers per cluster.
[0050] The disc string positioning device 2 and the string disc positioning and welding device 3 work together to provide precise positioning for string welding. The string welding soldering iron assembly 5 performs the final string welding, ensuring that each petal is firmly connected into the string. The disc string positioning device 2 ensures that the string splicing is completed according to the set number.
[0051] Finally, the automatic feeding and unloading device 4 removes the finished flower string, which has been welded and shaped, from the disc and moves it to the feeding trough for final discharge, completing the entire production process. The entire process is coordinated by the control system, which integrates various power units to achieve automated, efficient, and consistent production.
