[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN220298949U discloses a folding mechanism for a bath towel folding packaging machine, used for...
[0004] However, the above-mentioned publicly disclosed solutions have the following shortcomings: In actual use, the above-mentioned devices occupy a large area and have a relatively complex structure, making it difficult to combine and connect with existing packaging machines, thereby increasing the difficulty of combining the above-mentioned devices with existing packaging and processing production lines.
[0005] This utility model proposes a towel folding mechanism for a towel packaging machine to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to effectively improve the efficiency of combining and connecting existing packaging machines. This device adopts a conveyor belt structure, which facilitates combination and connection with upstream and downstream equipment, thereby overcoming the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] Based on the above technical concept, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A towel folding mechanism for a towel packaging machine includes a support column and a conveyor belt bracket connected to its top. A drive component is connected to the side of the conveyor belt bracket, a guide component is connected to the top of the conveyor belt bracket, a pressing component is connected to the top of the guide component, and a suction component is connected to the top of the conveyor belt bracket, which is used to fold the towel.
[0008] Further defining the above technical solution, the driving component includes a motor bracket connected to the outer side of the conveyor belt support, a rotating motor connected to the motor bracket, a pulley connected to the output end of the rotating motor, a conveyor belt rotatably connected to the conveyor belt support, and a transmission connection between the conveyor belt and the pulley. The rotating motor drives the pulley to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of transmission of the conveyor belt, thus realizing the effect of automated feeding and discharging.
[0009] Further defining the above technical solution, the guide component includes a threaded bracket connected to the top of the conveyor belt support. Two symmetrically distributed limiting telescopic rods are connected to the side of the threaded bracket. An inclined connector is connected to the telescopic end of the limiting telescopic rod. The position of the inclined connector can be adjusted by the combination of the threaded bracket and the threaded rod, thereby making adaptive adjustments according to different towel sizes.
[0010] Further defining the above technical solution, the threaded bracket is threadedly connected to a threaded rod, which is rotatably connected to the inclined connector. A guide is connected to one side of the inclined connector, and an inclined member is connected to the other side. The guide is sharp. There is a gap between the bottom of the inclined connector, the inclined member, and the guide and the top of the conveyor belt. The guide faces the feed end, and the width of the inclined member is greater than the width of the guide. The structure of the guide can lift up both sides of the towel, so that both sides of the towel contact the inclined surface of the inclined connector. Then, the folding effect is achieved by the increased inclination angle of the inclined member.
[0011] Further defining the above technical solution, the pressing component includes a connecting column connected to the top of the threaded bracket, a connecting plate connected to the top of the connecting column, a weight-reducing through groove on the connecting plate, an electric telescopic rod connected to the top of the connecting plate, and a lifting plate connected to the bottom telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod. The lifting plate and subsequent pressing rollers can press the center of the sweat towel, ensuring that the sweat towel moves stably with the conveyor belt and avoiding the situation where the sweat towel is blocked by the guide and stops moving forward.
[0012] Further defining the above technical solution, the bottom of the lifting plate is connected to a roller bracket, and the bottom of the roller bracket is rotatably connected to a pressing roller. The inclined connecting piece, the guide piece, and the inclined piece are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressing roller. The pressing roller at the center can flatten the center of the towel without affecting the folding on both sides, thus facilitating subsequent folding processing.
[0013] Further defining the above technical solution, the suction component includes a support assembly connected to the top of the conveyor belt bracket. The structure of the support assembly is the same as that of the connecting column, the connecting plate, the electric telescopic rod, and the lifting plate. A vacuum assembly is connected to the top of the support assembly. The vacuum assembly contains a vacuum pump and a battery. A display screen and control buttons are located on the top of the vacuum assembly. The control buttons are connected to the vacuum pump. A connecting pipe is connected to the vacuum pump's vacuum extraction end. By generating negative pressure through the vacuum pump, the suction head can lift one end of the sweat towel. Subsequently, the conveyor belt drives the sweat towel forward, thus achieving a folding effect.
[0014] Further defining the above technical solution, a telescopic tube is connected to one end of the connecting pipe away from the vacuum pump, and a conductor is connected to the other end of the telescopic tube. Several suction heads distributed linearly and equally spaced are connected through the conductor, with the suction heads facing the direction of the conveyor belt. The method of using suction heads for forward folding processing can avoid damage to the surface of the sweat towel.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Adaptive folding: This device can adaptively adjust to the width of the towel through a sliding and adjustable tilting connector structure. 2. Easy to connect: This device uses a conveyor belt structure for feeding and discharging, which reduces the difficulty of connecting this device with upstream and downstream equipment; 3. High degree of automation: This device adopts a fully automatic folding structure, which can achieve automated folding and packaging of sweat towels. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0020] Example 1: This example provides a towel folding mechanism for a towel packaging machine, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a support column 1 and a conveyor belt bracket 2 connected to its top. A drive component 3 is connected to the side of the conveyor belt bracket 2. A guide component 4 is connected to the top of the conveyor belt bracket 2. A pressing component 5 is connected to the top of the guide component 4. A suction component 6 is connected to the top of the conveyor belt bracket 2, which is used to fold the sweat towel.
[0021] The drive component 3 includes a motor bracket 301 connected to the outer side of the conveyor belt bracket 2. The motor bracket 301 is connected to a rotating motor 302. The output end of the rotating motor 302 is connected to a pulley. The conveyor belt bracket 2 is rotatably connected to a conveyor belt 303, and the conveyor belt 303 is connected to the pulley for transmission.
[0022] The guide component 4 includes a threaded bracket 401 connected to the top of the conveyor belt bracket 2. Two symmetrically distributed limiting telescopic rods 403 are connected to the side of the threaded bracket 401. The telescopic ends of the limiting telescopic rods 403 are connected to inclined connectors 405. The threaded bracket 401 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 402. The threaded rod 402 is rotatably connected to the inclined connector 405. One side of the inclined connector 405 is connected to a guide 404, and the other side of the inclined connector 405 is connected to an inclined member 406. The guide 404 is sharp. The sharp structure of the guide 404 makes it easy to lift the side of the towel, thereby facilitating the subsequent side folding process.
[0023] The pressing component 5 includes a connecting column 501 connected to the top of the threaded bracket 401. A connecting plate 502 is connected to the top of the connecting column 501. The connecting plate 502 is provided with a weight-reducing through groove. An electric telescopic rod 503 is connected to the top of the connecting plate 502. A lifting plate 504 is connected to the bottom telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 503.
[0024] The bottom of the lifting plate 504 is connected to a roller bracket 505, and the bottom of the roller bracket 505 is rotatably connected to a pressing roller 506. The inclined connector 405, the guide 404 and the inclined component 406 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressing roller 506.
[0025] The specific working principle is as follows: the transmission effect of the conveyor belt 303 can ensure the stability and accuracy of the feeding transmission of the sweat towel. Compared with the traditional device, this structure can be easily combined and connected with the existing packaging machine, reducing the difficulty of combining and using this device.
[0026] Example 2: This example provides a towel folding mechanism for a towel packaging machine, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, the suction component 6 includes a support assembly 601 connected to the top of the conveyor belt bracket 2. The structure of the support assembly 601 is the same as that of the connecting column 501, the connecting plate 502, the electric telescopic rod 503, and the lifting plate 504. A vacuum assembly 602 is connected to the top of the support assembly 601. The vacuum assembly 602 contains a vacuum pump and a battery. The top of the vacuum assembly 602 has a display screen and a control button. The control button is connected to the vacuum pump control. A connecting pipe 603 is connected through the vacuum pump's vacuum pump end. A telescopic pipe 604 is connected through the end of the connecting pipe 603 away from the vacuum pump. A guide is connected to the other end of the telescopic pipe 604. Several suction heads 605 are linearly and equally spaced through the guide. The suction heads 605 face the direction of the conveyor belt 303.
[0027] The specific working principle is as follows: This device can effectively improve the folding and packaging effect of sweat towels. When the device is in use, the sweat towel is placed on the conveyor belt 303 to achieve automated feeding. At this time, starting the rotating motor 302 can drive the conveyor belt 303 to achieve the feeding effect. When the sweat towel is driven by the conveyor belt 303 and comes into contact with the guide 404, the center of the sweat towel is in contact with the pressing roller 506. Under the inclined guiding action of the guide 404, the two sides of the sweat towel are lifted up. At this time, the center of the sweat towel is in close contact with the conveyor belt 303 under the pressing action of the pressing roller 506, ensuring that the sweat towel continues to be in close contact with the conveyor belt 303. Driven by the conveyor belt 303, the towel moves forward. As the inclination angle increases, the towel bends towards the center on both sides after contacting the inclined part 406, achieving a symmetrical folding effect on both sides. Then, when the towel moves below the suction head 605, the suction head 605 moves downward and contacts the side of the towel near the discharge end. The vacuum pump then generates negative pressure, causing the suction head 605 to lift the side of the towel near the discharge end. Subsequently, driven by the conveyor belt 303, the towel continues to move forward, thus achieving the folding effect. After the conveyor belt 303 has been running for a period of time, the suction head 605 releases the towel, thus achieving a folding effect in the forward direction.
[0028] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, which is intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and apply the present invention. However, it should not be assumed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions.
