Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding equipment technology, specifically to the M-shaped folding machine described in the specification. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial products, especially in the fields of electronics, medical devices, and home appliances, detailed instruction manuals or brochures are usually included inside the product packaging. To save packaging space, enhance the product's aesthetics, and facilitate user access, these manuals need to be precisely folded before being placed in the box.

[0003] Currently, instruction manual folding mainly relies on large-scale automated folding equipment. The common folding method is the "zigzag" (Z-shaped) fold, where the paper is folded alternately in both directions, eventually forming a rectangular structure with layers stacked on top of each other. However, Z-folded instruction manuals do not easily maintain their folded state after unfolding and are prone to loosening due to vibration during transportation and handling, appearing messy inside the packaging box and affecting the product unpacking experience. Therefore, we propose an M-shaped instruction manual folding machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an instruction manual for an M-shaped folding machine to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The instruction manual for the M-shaped folding machine is characterized by comprising:

[0006] support;

[0007] Cylinder, mounted on a bracket;

[0008] The extension plate is connected to the output end of the cylinder and is driven by the cylinder to lift and lower.

[0009] The second roller, of which there are two, is mounted on the extension plate;

[0010] A pair of mounting bases are disposed on the bracket and located below the extension plate;

[0011] A reverse-folding plate is attached to the side wall of each of the mounting bases and extends upward;

[0012] When the cylinder drives the extension plate to move downward, the second roller contacts and interacts with the folding plate to guide the paper to fold downward on both sides, forming an M-shaped fold.

[0013] Preferably, the extension plate is further equipped with a folding plate and a first roller, the first roller being located between the two second rollers.

[0014] Preferably, the gap between the mounting bases forms a channel for the folding plate and the first roller to move up and down.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a placement platform, which is mounted on the bracket and located on both sides of the pair of mounting seats.

[0016] Preferably, the placement platform is equipped with a positioning block for positioning the paper.

[0017] Preferably, the extension plate is adjustablely connected to the output end of the cylinder via a slot and bolt.

[0018] Preferably, the surface of the reverse fold plate is covered with a lubricating patch.

[0019] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0020] This utility model provides an instruction manual for an M-shaped folding machine. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. Unlike the traditional "zigzag" (Z-shaped) fold, the M-shaped fold forms a three-dimensional structure with self-locking and interlocking effects by folding in the middle and in the opposite direction on both sides. It is not easy to loosen due to vibration during transportation and handling and can always maintain a neat shape. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, what is described is only a part of this utility model, not all of it. Based on this utility model, all other inventions obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] See attached document Figure 1-3The instruction manual describes an M-shaped folding machine, including a support 1. The support 1 includes a base and an upright plate connected to the base. A cylinder 11 is also fixedly installed on the upright plate, and the direction of its output end corresponds to the base. An extension plate 2 is also connected to the output end of the cylinder 11. The extension plate 2 is away from the base and extends along the direction of the cylinder 11. A single first roller 22 and two second rollers 23 are connected to the extension end of the extension plate 2. The first roller 22 is located in the middle of the extension end of the extension plate 2, and the second rollers 23 are located on both sides of the first roller 22. The first roller 22 and the second rollers 23 are arranged vertically on the extension plate 2.

[0028] A folding plate 21 is also connected to the middle of the output end side of the cylinder 11. The first roller 22 and the folding plate 21 are distributed in parallel vertically and on the same axis.

[0029] A pair of mounting seats 3 are also connected to the base. The gap between the mounting seats 3 forms a channel for the folding plate 21 and the first roller 22 to rise and fall. The gap between the mounting seats 3 is consistent with the diameter of the cross section of the first roller 22. An upwardly extending reverse folding plate 31 is also connected to the side wall of the mounting seat 3. The outer side wall of the reverse folding plate 31 is in contact with the circumference of the second roller 23.

[0030] The placement platform 4 is connected to both sides of the base. The placement platform 4 is fixed to the base by the column, and the height of the placement platform 4 is between the folding plate 21 and the reverse folding plate 31.

[0031] Both the folding plate 21 and the reverse folding plate 31 are covered with lubricating patches to prevent paper damage.

[0032] A positioning block 41 is also connected to the placement platform 4. The positioning block 41 is installed on the placement platform 4 in a direction away from the cylinder 11.

[0033] A pair of strip grooves 24 are also provided on the extension plate 2, and a threaded hole is also provided on the output end side of the cylinder 11. The strip grooves 24 correspond to the threaded holes and the extension plate 2 is fixed by bolts.

[0034] Working principle: Before use, the instruction manual paper is folded multiple times by other equipment to form a long strip. The pre-folded instruction manual is placed flat on the placement table 4 and aligned and positioned by the positioning block 41. The cylinder 11 pushes the extension plate 2 downward, causing the folding plate 21, the first roller 22 and the second roller 23 to move downward together. The folding plate 21 presses down on the middle of the paper, so that it forms the first fold on the placement table 4. The first roller 22 follows the folding plate 21 down to help press the crease and ensure that the folding position is accurate and neat. When the folding plate 21 continues to descend, the folding plate 21 causes the paper to shrink into the mounting base 3. The two sides of the paper placed on the placement table 4 warp. The warped paper first contacts the second roller 23, and then the second roller 23 contacts the reverse folding plate 31, guiding the two sides of the paper to fold downward to form an M shape. After folding, the cylinder rises and all parts return to their initial positions.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0036] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and is not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the foregoing technical solutions, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
