Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supply folding equipment technology, and in particular to a fan-shaped folding machine for medical drapes. Background Technology

[0002] Medical sheets, as core consumable medical textiles in hospitals, nursing homes, and other medical and health institutions, require standardized processing procedures such as disinfection, folding, and packaging before use. Currently, some folding is done manually; however, this method has many unavoidable drawbacks: on the one hand, manual folding is extremely inefficient; on the other hand, the quality stability of manual folding is poor, as different operators have different folding techniques and strengths, easily leading to problems such as inconsistent folding sizes, wrinkles at the edges and corners, and disordered layers.

[0003] Automated folding equipment for strip-shaped sheets has appeared on the market. Existing equipment is mostly designed for towels, bed sheets, etc., and is packaged by rolling. The cylindrical shape of the material formed by this folding method does not match the size of the rectangular packaging bag, and the material is prone to jamming during packaging. Moreover, rolling and folding will cause the sheet to form tight spiral folds, which require additional handling when unfolding and using. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problems to be solved by this utility model are low efficiency of manual packaging and mismatch between rolled packaging and packaging bag size.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a fan-shaped folding machine for medical drapes, including a frame, a processing table horizontally arranged in the middle of the frame, and a first feeding belt and a second feeding belt connected to both ends of the processing table. A pressure claw is vertically slidably arranged above the processing table, and L-shaped folding rods are horizontally rotatably arranged on both sides below the processing table. The two folding rods are rotatably arranged relative to each other, and the folding rods can rotate to the middle of the top surface of the processing table.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of pressure claws are provided above the processing table, the pressure claws are stacked and respectively connected to the corresponding lifting cylinders.

[0007] Preferably, the pressure claw is arranged in a horizontal U-shape, and the middle part of the pressure claw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly installed on the back side of the frame, a drive motor is horizontally arranged on the mounting plate, a turntable is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the bottom end of the folding rod is fixed on the turntable and passes through the center of the turntable.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of drive motors are continuously arranged on the mounting plate. The drive motors are distributed below the processing table and arranged in two vertical rows. From bottom to top, the length of the drive motor connected to the folding rod increases.

[0010] Preferably, the processing table has a strip groove at one end away from the mounting plate, and the strip groove is located between the two ends of the pressure claw.

[0011] Preferably, both sides of the processing table are provided with strip-shaped receiving grooves for the folding rod to pass through, and both sides of the receiving grooves are provided with raised structures, the top of the raised structures being arc-shaped.

[0012] This utility model provides a fan-shaped folding machine for medical drapes, which has the following beneficial effects.

[0013] 1. The automatic conveying of medical drapes is achieved through feeding belt 1 and feeding belt 2. The mechanical linkage between the pressure claw and the folding rod completes the folding action, realizing the continuous multiple folding of medical drapes. Moreover, the folding process does not involve transfer, which greatly improves the folding efficiency.

[0014] 2. A U-shaped pressure claw precisely holds the center of the medical drape, while two L-shaped folding rods rotate relative to each other to achieve symmetrical folding. The pressure of the pressure claw and the rotation angle of the folding rods are precisely controlled by the mechanical structure, avoiding problems such as inconsistent dimensions and wrinkles at the edges caused by differences in technique and force during manual folding. The stacked pressure claws and folding rods of increasing length form a graded folding mechanism, enabling continuous fan-shaped folding of the medical drape, ultimately resulting in a folded product with clear layers and a regular shape.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model provides a fan-shaped folding machine for medical drapes, including a frame 1, a processing table 3 horizontally arranged in the middle of the frame 1, and a first feeding belt 2 and a second feeding belt 4 connected to both ends of the processing table 3. A pressure claw 9 is vertically slidably arranged above the processing table 3, and L-shaped folding rods 6 are horizontally rotatably arranged on both sides below the processing table 3. The two folding rods 6 are rotatably arranged relative to each other, and the folding rods 6 can rotate to the middle of the top surface of the processing table 3.

[0020] The strip material (medical drape) is transported via feed belt 2 or feed belt 4 to the processing table 3, ensuring the center of the strip material is in the center of the processing table 3. Then, the pressure claw 9 is controlled to move downwards, pressing down on the strip material to fix its center. Next, the folding rods 6 on both sides of the processing table 3 are controlled to rotate. As the folding rods 6 rotate upwards, they contact the strip material and push it to follow, until the folding rods 6 stop at the center of the top surface of the processing table 3. At this point, both sides of the strip material have been folded, achieving the desired effect. The strip material undergoes a first folding process. Then, the subsequent pressing claw 9 is controlled to continue moving downwards. The pressing claw 9, in conjunction with the previous pressing claw 9, presses the end of the folded strip material. Afterward, the subsequent folding rod 6 is controlled to rotate, and the folding rod 6 pushes the strip material again, causing the contact point of the strip material to move. The subsequent folding rod 6 rotates again to the top of the previous folding rod 6 and presses it in place, realizing the second folding process of the strip material. The number of folds is then set according to the length of the strip material. After the strip material is folded, the worker pulls the folded strip material out from the movable end of the folding rod 6 and the pressing claw 9.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, to achieve in-situ multiple folds of the strip material, several pressure claws 9 are arranged above the processing table 3. The pressure claws 9 are stacked and respectively connected to the corresponding lifting cylinders 8. The middle part of the strip material is pressed by the pressure claws 9. Therefore, when it is necessary to continuously fold the middle part of the strip material, the pressure claws 9 need to press the middle part of the strip material multiple times.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. The pressure claw 9 is arranged in a horizontal U-shape, and the middle part of the pressure claw 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 8. The pressure claw 9 is U-shaped, and when pressing the strip material, the pressure claw 9 presses the middle part of the strip material through both ends.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown. A mounting plate is fixedly installed on the back side of the frame 1. A drive motor is horizontally arranged on the mounting plate. A turntable 5 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The bottom end of the folding rod 6 is fixed on the turntable 5 and passes through the center of the turntable 5. The drive motor drives the turntable 5 to rotate, and the turntable 5 drives the folding rod 6 to rotate, thus compressing the strip material. A through hole is opened in the side wall of the turntable 5, passing through the axis of the turntable 5. The through hole is used for mounting the bottom end of the folding rod 6, and then the folding rod 6 is locked by bolts at the end of the turntable 5.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of drive motors are continuously arranged on the mounting plate. The drive motors are distributed below the processing table 3 and arranged in two vertical rows, from bottom to top, with the length of the folding rods 6 connected to the drive motors increasing progressively. The arrangement of the drive motors, in conjunction with the folding rods 6 of increasing length, ensures that the top of each folding rod 6 presses against the same position on the processing table 3.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown. The processing table 1 has a strip-shaped groove at one end away from the mounting plate, located between the two ends of the pressure claw 9. After the strip material is completely folded, the strip-shaped groove allows the operator to reach in and grip the edge of the strip material.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, to avoid interference between the folding rod 6 and the processing table 3, both sides of the processing table 3 are provided with strip-shaped receiving grooves 7 for the folding rod 6 to pass through. Both sides of the receiving grooves 7 are provided with raised structures, the tops of which are arc-shaped. The raised portions prevent strip-shaped materials conveyed to the processing table 3 by the first feeding belt 2 or the second feeding belt 4 from falling into the receiving grooves 7.
