[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings: like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a dual-station alternating label folding and gripping conveying integrated device includes a production platform 1, a first folding work platform 2 that can slide on the work platform, and a second folding work platform 3 that can slide on the surface of the production platform 1. The surface of the production platform 1 is provided with a plurality of first linear guide rails 11 and second linear guide rails 12. The first folding work platform 2 and the second folding work platform 3 are respectively connected to the surface of the sliders on the first linear guide rails 11 and the second linear guide rails 12.

[0018] With this configuration, the first folding work platform 2 and the second folding work platform 3 can slide relative to the production platform 1 via the first linear guide rail 11 and the second linear guide rail 12, respectively. This allows the first folding work platform 2 and the second folding work platform 3 to be in the first process when they receive tableware wrapped in paper towels, while the other work platform is in the other process, thus achieving uninterrupted execution of different processes and eliminating the process interval time during execution.

[0019] In this embodiment, both the first folding work platform 2 and the second folding work platform 3 are equipped with label folding components 4 capable of folding labels. The height of the second folding work platform 3 relative to the production platform 1 can be adjusted vertically. The label folding components 4 can fold labels onto the surface of tableware wrapped in paper towels. After folding the labels, tape is applied to the surface of the labels manually or mechanically to complete the label wrapping process.

[0020] In this process, either the first folding work platform 2 or the second folding work platform 3 can be in the label folding process while the other is in the tape sealing process. Compared to the working area required by traditional equipment, this structural design improves space utilization. Furthermore, operational efficiency is optimized, making full use of reset time and the coordinated utilization of process steps to achieve true continuous flow production. Moreover, because the height of the second folding work platform 3 relative to the production platform 1 can be adjusted vertically, interference and collision phenomena are reduced, energy consumption is lowered, resulting in a lower overall equipment failure rate and reduced maintenance costs.

[0021] In this embodiment, to further enable the sliding of the first folding work platform 2 and the second folding work platform 3 relative to the production platform 1, a first cylinder support plate 13 is provided on the surface of the production platform 1. A first cylinder element 21 is mounted on the first cylinder support plate 13, and the piston rod of the first cylinder element 21 is connected to the first folding work platform 2. A second cylinder support plate 31 is provided at the bottom of the second folding work platform 3, and a third cylinder support plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the production platform 1. The cylinder body of the second cylinder element 32 is connected to the second cylinder support plate 31, and the piston rod of the second cylinder element 32 is connected to the third cylinder support plate 14.

[0022] When the piston rod of the first cylinder element 21 begins to move, it can cause the first folding work platform 2 to slide relative to the production platform 1. When the piston rod of the second cylinder element 32 begins to move, under the traction force of the cylinder body and piston rod of the second cylinder element 32, the distance between the second cylinder support plate 31 and the third cylinder support plate 14 can change, thereby realizing the sliding of the second folding work platform 3 relative to the production platform 1.

[0023] To further achieve vertical height adjustment of the second folding work platform 3 relative to the production platform 1: the second folding work platform 3 includes a support base plate 33 and a lifting plate 34. The surface of the support base plate 33 is provided with a plurality of guide rod support sleeves 35 and a third cylinder element 36 is provided in the middle of the support base plate 33. Each guide rod support sleeve 35 has a slidable support guide rod 37 inside. The top of the support guide rod 37 and the top of the piston rod of the third cylinder element 36 are connected to the lifting plate 34. The label folding assembly 4 is disposed on the surface of the support base plate 33.

[0024] When changing the relative position between the second folding work platform 3 and the first folding work platform 2, and to avoid interference during sliding, the height of the second folding work platform 3 needs to be changed before moving, and then returned to the specified height after the displacement is completed. During the height change, the piston rod of the third cylinder element 36 changes, which can drive the height of the lifting plate 34 relative to the support base plate 33 to change. At this time, the support guide rod 37 slides inside the guide rod support sleeve 35, playing a supporting and guiding role.

[0025] In this embodiment, please refer to the mechanical reference. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown: The label folding assembly 4 includes a fourth cylinder support plate 41, a fourth cylinder element 42, a fifth cylinder element 43, a first folding sliding block 44, a second folding sliding block 45, a label placement block 46, a pressure plate rocker arm 47, a T-shaped pressure plate 48, and a U-shaped pressure plate 49. The surface of the first folding working platform 2 is provided with the fourth cylinder element 42 and the fifth cylinder element 43 connected by the fourth cylinder support plate 41. The surface of the first folding working platform 2 is also provided with a plurality of guide rails, and the surfaces of the plurality of guide rails are respectively provided with the first folding sliding blocks 44. The first folding sliding block 44 is provided with a label placement block 46 at the end of at least one guide rail. The label placement block 46 is provided with a rectangular groove 461 adapted to the tableware wrapped in paper towels and a U-shaped groove 462 in the middle of the rectangular groove 461 that allows the label to be bent. The first folding sliding block 44 is provided with a pressure plate rocker arm 47 that can rotate. The end of the pressure plate rocker arm 47 faces and is connected to a T-shaped pressure plate 48 facing the middle of the rectangular groove 461. The end of the second folding sliding block 45 faces the U-shaped pressure plates 49 on both sides of the rectangular groove 461.

[0026] After the label is placed in the rectangular slot 461 inside the label placement block 46, the tableware wrapped in paper towels, held by the grippers, is then placed into the U-shaped slot 462 inside the label placement block 46. At this time, the label is pressed down by the weight of the tableware and paper towels, causing the label to produce a... Figure 2 The bending effect shown.

[0027] Then, the T-shaped pressure plate 48 rotates relative to the first folding sliding block 44 to adjust the angle. Then, the piston rod of the fourth cylinder element 42 pulls the first folding sliding block 44 toward the label placement block 46, while the piston rod of the fifth cylinder element 43 pulls the second folding sliding block 45 toward the label placement block 46.

[0028] Due to the relative movement of the first folding sliding block 44 and the second folding sliding block 45, the left side of the label is pressed against the T-shaped pressure plate 48. Furthermore, the T-shaped pressure plate 48 is tilted upwards at this time. Therefore, during the adjustment and resetting process of the T-shaped pressure plate 48 relative to the first folding sliding block 44, the label can be folded from left to center. Immediately afterwards, the U-shaped pressure plate 49 folds the right side of the label towards the center, thus completing the folding and pressing of the label. Finally, the first folding work platform 2 or the second folding work platform 3 can slide relative to the production platform 1 via the first linear guide rail 11 and the second linear guide rail 12, respectively, to facilitate the subsequent sealing of the folded label with tape.

[0029] The surface of the first folding sliding block 44 is provided with a rocker arm clearance groove 441 and the side wall of the first folding sliding block 44 is provided with a fifth cylinder support plate 442. The side wall of the fifth cylinder support plate 442 is connected to a sixth cylinder element 443. The end of the sixth cylinder element 443 is hinged to the end of the pressure plate rocker arm 47. The piston rod of the sixth cylinder element 443 can drive the pressure plate rocker arm 47 to rotate during the extension and retraction process.

[0030] When the T-shaped pressure plate 48 needs to rotate relative to the first folding sliding block 44, the piston rod of the sixth cylinder element 443 can drive the pressure plate rocker arm 47 to rotate during the extension and retraction process. The rocker arm clearance groove 441 can avoid the movement of the T-shaped pressure plate 48, and the pressure plate rocker arm 47 can drive the T-shaped pressure plate 48 to rotate during the rotation process.

[0031] In this embodiment, please refer to the mechanical reference. Figure 6 As shown, the surface of the production platform 1 is also provided with a first support frame 5. The top of the first support frame 5 is provided with a screw drive module 51. The slider of the screw drive module 51 is provided with a seventh cylinder element 52. The piston rod end of the seventh cylinder element 52 is provided with a double piston rod cylinder 53. The piston rod end of the double piston rod cylinder 53 is connected to a clamping claw 54. Each clamping claw 54 is provided with an annular notch 55.

[0032] When the label is folded onto the surface of the tableware wrapped in paper towels and sealed with tape, the slider on the screw drive module 51 controls the position of the seventh cylinder element 52 to change until it moves above the label placement block 46. Then the piston rod of the seventh cylinder element 52 extends, allowing the gripper 54 of the double piston rod cylinder 53 to grip the material. The annular notch 55 is designed to prevent the material from being flattened during the gripping process.

[0033] The surface of the production platform 1 is also provided with a second support frame 6. The top of the second support frame 6 is provided with a rotary cylinder 61. The rotating end of the rotary cylinder 61 is provided with a pneumatic gripper 62. Each gripper end of the pneumatic gripper 62 is connected to an annular clamping block 63.

[0034] After the gripper 54 of the double piston rod cylinder 53 completes its gripping, the slider on the lead screw drive module 51 continues to control the seventh cylinder element 52 to start moving until it moves to the end of the annular gripping block 63. At this time, the pneumatic gripper 62 controls the annular gripping block 63 to grip the material. Then, the gripper 54 of the double piston rod cylinder 53 releases the material, and the rotating end of the rotating cylinder 61 rotates to change the angle of the final material. Then, the gripper 54 of the double piston rod cylinder 53 re-grips the material, and the pneumatic gripper 62 controls the annular gripping block 63 to release the material. Finally, when the material is conveyed to the next process, it is convenient for the direction after subsequent packaging to be in the set position.

[0035] Working principle and usage of this utility model: When the piston rod of the first cylinder element 21 begins to move, it can cause the first folding work platform 2 to slide relative to the production platform 1. When the piston rod of the second cylinder element 32 begins to move, under the traction force of the cylinder body and piston rod of the second cylinder element 32, the distance between the second cylinder support plate 31 and the third cylinder support plate 14 can change, thereby realizing the sliding of the second folding work platform 3 relative to the production platform 1.

[0036] During the movement, to change the relative position between the second folding work platform 3 and the first folding work platform 2, and to avoid interference during sliding, the height of the second folding work platform 3 needs to be changed before moving, and it should return to the specified height after the displacement is completed. During the height change, the piston rod of the third cylinder element 36 changes, which can drive the height of the lifting plate 34 relative to the support base plate 33 to change. At this time, the support guide rod 37 slides inside the guide rod support sleeve 35, playing a supporting and guiding role, ultimately enabling either the first folding work platform 2 or the second folding work platform 3 to be in the label folding process while the other is in the tape sealing process.

[0037] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
