Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of box packaging machines, and in particular to a film dynamic tension control mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of box packaging machine technology, the film conveying device, as one of the core components, is responsible for ensuring the smooth transport and precise sealing of the film during the packaging process. Its performance directly affects packaging quality and production efficiency. With the rapid development of the packaging industry, especially the increasing demand for high-efficiency and high-quality packaging in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and daily chemicals, the technology of film conveying devices has been significantly improved. Early devices mainly achieved film transport and tension control through simple mechanical structures, such as fixed guide rollers and manual tension adjustment mechanisms. With the introduction of automation technology, modern packaging machines have begun to adopt more complex tension adjustment systems, such as spring-based semi-automatic devices or automatic control systems equipped with sensors. These technological advancements have significantly improved the stability of film transport, reduced the frequency of manual operation, and adapted to the needs of high-speed packaging to some extent. In addition, some high-end equipment has achieved more precise tension adjustment by integrating servo motors and electronic control modules, meeting the requirements of diverse film materials and complex packaging scenarios. However, the application of these technologies is still limited to specific scenarios and has not fully met the needs of small and medium-sized packaging equipment for cost and ease of maintenance.
[0003] Despite advancements in film tension control technology, traditional film conveying devices still suffer from significant shortcomings in dynamic tension adjustment. Taking traditional tension adjustment mechanisms based on springs or adjusting screws as an example, their main drawback lies in their inability to respond in real-time to dynamic changes in film tension during packaging. During high-speed packaging or changes in film material, fixed or semi-fixed tension settings cannot quickly adapt to tension fluctuations, leading to unstable film tension and subsequently problems such as film breakage, film wrinkling, or incomplete sealing. This deficiency not only reduces packaging quality but also increases defect rates and production costs. Furthermore, the complex mechanical structure of traditional devices, such as multiple sets of guide rollers and spring assemblies, increases manufacturing and maintenance costs. Maintenance requires frequent adjustments or replacements of parts, extending equipment downtime. In recent years, although some automatic tension adjustment devices have improved dynamic response capabilities through sensors and control systems, their high cost and maintenance complexity make them difficult to promote in small and medium-sized packaging equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a film conveying device with a simple structure, capable of dynamic tension adjustment and convenient maintenance, to ensure packaging quality while reducing production and maintenance costs and meeting the diverse needs of the modern packaging industry.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0022] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a film dynamic tension control mechanism, including a mounting plate 11, a resistance wheel 12, an eccentric wheel 13, a resistance belt 14, and a floating shaft 15. The resistance wheel 12 and the eccentric wheel 13 are rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 11. The resistance wheel 12 is connected to the eccentric wheel 13 through the resistance belt 14. The resistance belt 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11 through a fixing frame 24. The eccentric wheel 13 is connected to the floating shaft 15.
[0024] It should be noted that this mechanism utilizes the up-and-down movement of the floating shaft 15, which drives the eccentric wheel 13 to deflect when the film is pulled by an external force during transport. This causes the resistance belt 14 to tighten and contract, and the resistance of the resistance wheel 12 is adjusted by the resistance belt 14, thereby dynamically controlling the amount of film released from the film roll. Compared with traditional mechanisms, this design requires no screws or springs for adjustment, has a simple structure, is easy to maintain, and can effectively maintain stable film tension, avoiding problems such as film breakage or uneven film covering.
[0025] The eccentric wheel 13 is connected to the swing arm 17 via a connecting rod 16, and the swing arm 17 is connected to the floating shaft 15. A connecting cylinder 18 is provided on the mounting plate 11, and the connecting rod 16 passes through the connecting cylinder 18 into the mounting plate 11.
[0026] It should be noted that the eccentric wheel 13 is connected to the swing arm 17 via a connecting rod 16, and the swing arm 17 is further connected to the floating shaft 15. The connecting rod 16 passes through the connecting cylinder 18 on the mounting plate 11 to ensure the stability and guidance of the movement. When the diaphragm is pulled by an external force, the floating shaft 15 moves up and down under the action of the tension, causing the swing arm 17 to swing, which in turn causes the eccentric wheel 13 to deflect via the connecting rod 16.
[0027] The resistance wheel 12 is connected to the membrane roll 21 via a connecting rod 2 19. A connecting cylinder 20 is provided on the mounting plate 11, and the connecting rod 2 19 passes through the connecting cylinder 20 into the mounting plate 11.
[0028] It should be noted that this design allows the resistance wheel 12 to act directly on the membrane roll 21 through the connecting rod 2 19, and combined with the tension adjustment of the resistance wheel 12 by the resistance belt 14, the amount of film released from the membrane roll can be dynamically controlled.
[0029] The mounting plate 11 is provided with a film roll 21, a first fixed shaft 22, a floating shaft 15 and a second fixed shaft 23 in sequence along the transport direction of the film.
[0030] It should be noted that the mounting plate 11 is sequentially arranged with a film roll 21, a first fixed shaft 22, a floating shaft 15, and a second fixed shaft 23 along the film transport direction, forming an orderly film transport path. The film is output from the film roll 21, passes above the first fixed shaft 22 and below the floating shaft 15, and then winds around to the top of the second fixed shaft 23. The tension is dynamically adjusted by the up-and-down movement of the floating shaft 15. The film roll 21 is responsible for releasing the film, the first fixed shaft 22 and the second fixed shaft 23 provide stable guidance and support, and the floating shaft 15 drives the eccentric wheel 13 and the resistance belt 14 through its displacement, adjusting the resistance of the resistance wheel 12 on the film roll 21, thereby controlling the amount of film released.
[0031] The mounting plate 11 is provided with a baffle 25, which can constrain the rising position of the floating shaft 15, thereby helping to guide and constrain the movement trajectory of the film during the conveying process.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model:
[0033] The film is output from the film roll 21 and travels along the conveying path on the mounting plate 11, passing above the first fixed shaft 22, below the floating shaft 15, and then above the second fixed shaft 23. The stop shaft 25 on the mounting plate 11 helps constrain the film's trajectory to prevent deviation. When the film is subjected to external tension, the floating shaft 15 moves upward under the tension, causing the eccentric wheel 13 to deflect at an angle via the swing arm 17 and connecting rod 16 connected to it. The deflection of the eccentric wheel 13 loosens the resistance band 14, reducing the tension of the resistance band 14 on the resistance wheel 12. The resistance wheel 12 is connected to the film roll 21 via connecting rod 19, thereby reducing the rotational resistance of the film roll 21 and allowing the film roll 21 to rotate smoothly to release the film. When the external tension decreases or disappears, the floating shaft 15 descends under its own weight or film tension, driving the swing arm 17 and connecting rod 16 to deflect the eccentric wheel 13 in the opposite direction, tightening the resistance band 14, increasing the tension on the resistance wheel 12, and then increasing the rotational resistance of the film roll 21 through the connecting rod 19, slowing down or stopping the rotation of the film roll 21, and controlling the amount of film released. This dynamic adjustment mechanism does not require adjusting screws or springs, and automatically adapts to tension changes by relying on the displacement of the floating shaft 15 and the deflection of the eccentric wheel 13. It has a simple structure, low manufacturing and maintenance costs, and can maintain the film tension within the design range in real time, effectively solving problems such as film breakage and uneven film covering caused by improper tension, and significantly improving the stability and reliability of film conveying in box packaging machines.
[0034] The embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
