Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of clay toy production equipment, and more particularly to a clay packaging machine. Background Technology
[0002] Packaging machines play a vital role in the production of clay toys. They are used to repackage the finished and cut clay, ensuring that each piece of clay has its own independent packaging for easy access by users. This also helps prevent moisture loss from the clay during storage or transportation, thus maintaining the clay's plasticity.
[0003] A clay packaging device includes a frame and a plastic film unwinding mechanism, an edge sealing mechanism, a melting and cutting mechanism, and a driving mechanism arranged sequentially on the frame. The driving mechanism transports the slit clay to the frame, and then the plastic film unwinding mechanism unwinds the clay toy to wrap it. After the clay toy is wrapped, the edge sealing mechanism seals the edges of the plastic film, and the melting and cutting mechanism cuts the plastic film so that each piece of clay has an independent package.
[0004] Due to user needs and product usage scenarios, users often require two or more colors of clay to be mixed together in a single use to achieve a variety of shapes and colors. However, when using the aforementioned clay packaging equipment to package different colors of clay, this type of equipment can only package one color of clay at a time, and it is not convenient to count the quantities. This results in discrepancies between the quantities of different colors of clay packaged, leading to a large inventory surplus. At the same time, due to the control of clay production costs, the production cost of this type of clay packaging equipment and the subsequent packaging cost of the packaged clay are relatively high, indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a clay packaging machine in order to improve the packaging efficiency of slit clay.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the clay packaging machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A clay packaging machine includes a frame and a first unwinding mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a second unwinding mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a cutting and sealing assembly sequentially arranged on the frame. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning guide plate, a first limiting assembly, and a second limiting assembly. The positioning guide plate has a first guiding area and a second guiding area arranged in the same direction along its length. The first guiding area and the second guiding area are parallel to each other. The first limiting assembly includes a reversing guide plate, which is mounted on the positioning guide plate along its width. The reversing guide plate is positioned parallel to the first guiding area and the second guiding area. A passage gap is preset between the two guide areas. The second limiting component is located on the positioning guide plate behind the changing guide plate. The second unwinding mechanism is located on the frame between the changing guide plate and the second limiting component. A first plastic sealing film is provided on the first unwinding mechanism, and a second plastic sealing film is provided on the second unwinding mechanism. When the first plastic sealing film and the second plastic sealing film reach the second limiting component, a cavity for accommodating clay is formed between the first plastic sealing film and the second plastic sealing film. Cut clay is placed in the first guide area and the second guide area respectively.
[0008] Preferably, the second limiting component includes a shaping plate and an integrating plate. The integrating plate and the shaping plate are sequentially disposed on the positioning guide plate behind the changing guide plate along the length direction of the positioning guide plate. The shaping plate is provided with a first shaping channel and a second shaping channel. An integrating channel is formed between the integrating plate and the positioning guide plate. The first plastic sealing film passes through the first shaping channel and reaches the integrating channel. The second plastic sealing film passes through the second shaping channel and reaches the integrating channel. After the first plastic sealing film and the second plastic sealing film reach the integrating channel, the first plastic sealing film and the second plastic sealing film abut against each other.
[0009] Preferably, the edge-cutting mechanism includes a support frame, a pressing roller rotatably supported on the support frame, and a heating plate located on the positioning guide plate. When the first plastic sealant and the second plastic sealant reach the heating plate, the pressing roller cooperates with the heating plate to weld the first plastic sealant and the second plastic sealant together.
[0010] Preferably, the edge-cutting mechanism further includes a welding cutter disposed behind the heating plate, the welding cutter being used to cut the first plastic sealant and the second plastic sealant after welding.
[0011] Preferably, a winding groove is provided on the positioning guide plate located behind the melting and cutting blade, and the scraps of the first and second plastic sealing films after being melted and cut by the melting and cutting blade are wound up along the winding groove.
[0012] Preferably, the second unwinding mechanism includes an unwinding roller and a fixing component. The fixing component includes a limiting seat and a handle bolt. The limiting seat has a limiting groove. A ball bearing is coaxially fixed to the roller shaft of the unwinding roller. When the unwinding roller is located on the limiting seat, the ball bearing is located in the limiting groove. The handle bolt is threaded through the limiting seat and extends into the limiting groove. When the handle bolt is located on the limiting seat, the handle bolt abuts against the surface of the ball bearing.
[0013] Preferably, a conveyor belt is rotatably supported on the frame located behind the melting and cutting blade, and the cutting and sealing assembly is mounted at the junction of the conveyor belt and the melting and cutting blade.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a clay packaging machine with the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The positioning guide plate has a first guide area and a second guide area along its length. After the first plastic sealing film is unwound by the first unwinding mechanism, the first plastic sealing film is reversed by the reversing guide plate. Through the limiting effect of the gap, the first plastic sealing film is made to adhere to the surfaces of the first and second guide areas. The slit clay can be placed on the first plastic sealing film located in the first guide area and the first plastic sealing film located in the second guide area, respectively. Then, the first plastic sealing film, carrying the clay in the first guide area and the clay in the second guide area, moves towards the second unwinding mechanism. At this time, the second unwinding mechanism unwinds the second plastic sealing film. The second limiting component shapes the first and second plastic sealing films, thereby making the second plastic sealing film adhere to the first guide area. The plastic sealing film is used for sealing. Then, the edge-cutting mechanism seals and cuts the edges of the first and second plastic sealing films along the length direction, so that the clay in the first guide area and the clay in the second guide area are transported independently along the first and second guide areas respectively. The edge-cutting and sealing assembly seals and cuts the two ends of the first and second plastic sealing films containing clay in the first and second guide areas along the width direction, so as to achieve the purpose of sealing two colors of clay at the same time. The synergy is high. The surface of the clay near the second plastic sealing film sealed in this way is flat, which helps to reduce the volume of the sealed clay, thereby reducing the size of the overall packaging box of clay toys.
[0016] 2. The first and second plastic sealant films located in the first and second guide areas are sealed by the cooperation of the edge pressing roller and the heating plate. After sealing, the first and second plastic sealant films will directly reach the melting and cutting knife. The melting and cutting knife will melt and cut the edges of the first and second plastic sealant films, so that the first and second plastic sealant films covered with clay are in a flat state along the length direction, and the cutting efficiency is high.
[0017] 3. When it is necessary to remove the unwinding roller along the frame, the handle bolt can be removed along the limit seat. Since the roller shaft of the unwinding roller is located in the limit groove through the ball bearing, the ball bearing can be separated from the limit groove simply by applying force to the inner unwinding roller. The operation is simple. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.
[0027] This application discloses a clay packaging machine. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 A clay packaging machine includes a frame 1 and a first unwinding mechanism 2, a positioning mechanism 3, a second unwinding mechanism 4, a cutting mechanism 5, and a cutting and sealing assembly 6 sequentially arranged on the frame 1. The positioning mechanism 3 includes a positioning guide plate 31, a first limiting assembly 32, and a second limiting assembly 33. The positioning guide plate 31 has a first guiding area 311 and a second guiding area 312 in the same direction along its length. The first guiding area 311 and the second guiding area 312 are arranged parallel to each other. The first limiting assembly 32 includes a changing guide plate 321, which is mounted on the positioning guide plate 31 along its width. A passage gap 7 is preset between 21 and the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312. The second limiting component 33 is located on the positioning guide plate 31 behind the changing guide plate 321. The second unwinding mechanism 4 is located on the frame 1 between the changing guide plate 321 and the second limiting component 33. The first unwinding mechanism 2 is provided with a first plastic sealing film, and the second unwinding mechanism 4 is provided with a second plastic sealing film. When the first plastic sealing film and the second plastic sealing film reach the second limiting component 33, a cavity for accommodating clay is formed between the first plastic sealing film and the second plastic sealing film. The first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312 are respectively filled with cut clay.
[0028] Specifically, the second limiting component 33 includes a shaping plate 331 and an integrating plate 332. The integrating plate 332 and the shaping plate 331 are sequentially arranged on the positioning guide plate 31 behind the changing guide plate 321 along the length direction of the positioning guide plate 31. The shaping plate 331 is provided with a first shaping channel 3311 and a second shaping channel 3312. The integrating plate 332 and the positioning guide plate 31 form an integrating channel 3321. The first plastic sealant passes through the first shaping channel 3311 and reaches the integrating channel 3321. The second plastic sealant passes through the second shaping channel 3312 and reaches the integrating channel 3321. After the first plastic sealant and the second plastic sealant reach the integrating channel 3321, the first plastic sealant and the second plastic sealant abut against each other.
[0029] Furthermore, the first limiting component 32 also includes a guide plate 322, which is installed on the positioning guide plate 31 between the changing guide plate 321 and the shaping plate 331. A limiting gap 3221 is preset between the guide plate 322 and the positioning guide plate 31. The width of the through gap 7 formed between the changing guide plate 321 and the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312 is greater than the thickness of the first plastic sealant, so that the first plastic sealant can pass smoothly along the through gap 7.
[0030] The purpose is that after the first plastic seal film is unwound by the first unwinding mechanism 2 and reversed by the reversing guide plate 321, the first plastic seal film is adhered to the surface of the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312 by relying on the characteristic that the plastic material generates static electricity after friction, so as to facilitate the sequential placement of the slit clay into the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312 where the first plastic seal film is placed.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The second unwinding mechanism 4 includes an unwinding roller 41 and a fixing component 42. The fixing component 42 includes a limiting seat 421 and a handle bolt 422. A limiting groove 4211 is provided on the limiting seat 421. A ball bearing 411 is coaxially fixed to the roller shaft of the unwinding roller 41. When the unwinding roller 41 is located on the limiting seat 421, the ball bearing 411 is located in the limiting groove 4211. The handle bolt 422 is threaded through the limiting seat 421 and extends into the limiting groove 4211. When the handle bolt 422 is located on the limiting seat 421, the handle bolt 422 abuts against the surface of the ball bearing 411.
[0032] Specifically, when it is necessary to remove the unwinding roller 41 along the frame 1, the handle bolt 422 can be removed along the limit seat 421. Since the roller shaft of the unwinding roller 41 is located in the limit groove 4211 through the ball bearing 411, the ball bearing 411 can be separated from the limit groove 4211 simply by applying force to the unwinding roller 41. The operation is simple.
[0033] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the components of the first unwinding mechanism 2 and the second unwinding mechanism 4 are the same as those of the frame 1. The difference is that the first unwinding mechanism 2 is located at the end of the frame 1 near the guide plate 321. The first unwinding mechanism 2 will not be described in further detail here.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The edge cutting mechanism 5 includes a support frame 51, a pressing roller 52 rotatably supported on the support frame 51, and a heating plate 53 located on the positioning guide plate 31. When the first plastic sealant and the second plastic sealant reach the heating plate 53, the pressing roller 52 cooperates with the heating plate 53 to weld the first plastic sealant and the second plastic sealant together.
[0035] Among them, the heating plate 53 is an electric heating component that can generate heat when energized. When the first and second plastic seal films pass through, the pressing roller 52 applies force to the first and second plastic seal films, so that the first and second plastic seal films are subjected to force. Through the cooperation of the pressing roller 52 and the heating plate 53, the sealing operation of the two ends of the first and second plastic seal films along the length direction is completed.
[0036] Meanwhile, the pressing rollers 52 are provided in three sets. The center line of the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312 along the width direction is the axis of symmetry. The three sets of pressing rollers 52 are respectively installed at the center line of the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312 and at the two edges of the positioning guide plate 31 along the width direction.
[0037] Furthermore, a heating plate 53 is installed on the positioning guide plate 31 below each pressing roller 52, thereby performing the purpose of cutting and shaping the first plastic sealant and the second plastic sealant located in the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312.
[0038] Furthermore, the edge-cutting mechanism 5 also includes a welding cutter 54 disposed behind the heating plate 53, which is used to cut the first and second plastic sealant films after welding.
[0039] The first and second plastic sealant films located in the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312 are sealed by the cooperation of the edge pressing roller 52 and the heating plate 53. After sealing, the first and second plastic sealant films will directly reach the melting and cutting blade 54. The melting and cutting blade 54 melts and trims the edges of the first and second plastic sealant films, so that the first and second plastic sealant films covered with clay are in a flat state along the length direction, and the cutting efficiency is high.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 A winding groove 313 is provided on the positioning guide plate 31 located behind the melting and cutting blade 54. The scraps of the first and second plastic sealing films after being melted and cut by the melting and cutting blade 54 are wound up along the winding groove 313.
[0041] Specifically, a winding assembly (a component used to wind up the scraps of the first and second plastic sealant films after being cut by the melt cutter 54, not shown in the figure) is installed on the frame 1 located below the winding groove 313. The scraps of the first and second plastic sealant films after being cut by the melt cutter 54 reach the winding assembly through the winding groove 313. The winding assembly winds up the scraps to facilitate uniform winding of the scraps and to provide power for the movement of the first and second plastic sealant films along the positioning guide plate 31, so that the clay after being sealed by the first and second plastic sealant films can smoothly reach the cutting and sealing assembly 6.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 The conveyor belt 8 is rotatably supported on the frame 1 located behind the melting and cutting blade 54, and the cutting and sealing assembly 6 is mounted at the junction of the conveyor belt 8 and the melting and cutting blade 54.
[0043] Specifically, a power transmission assembly 9 is installed on the frame 1 located between the melting and cutting blade 54 and the conveyor belt 8. The power transmission assembly 9 includes a drive motor 91 and a brush roller 92. The drive motor 91 is installed on the frame 1 between the cutting and sealing assembly 6 and the support frame 51. The brush roller 92 is coaxially fixed with the output shaft of the drive motor 91. When the drive motor 91 is working, the output shaft of the drive motor 91 drives the brush roller 92 to rotate along the frame 1, thereby shaping the surface of the clay toy after sealing in the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312, and providing power for conveying the clay covered with the first and second plastic seals after the sealing and cutting to the cutting and sealing assembly 6.
[0044] Furthermore, the cutting and sealing assembly 6 includes a heating roller 61 and a servo motor 62. The servo motor 62 is mounted on the frame 1 behind the drive motor 91. The heating roller 61 is coaxially fixed with the output shaft of the servo motor 62. The output shaft of the servo motor 62 drives the heating roller 61 to rotate along the frame 1. The heating roller 61 has two sets of heating cutters symmetrically mounted along the axial direction, so that the heating roller 61 can perform two cuts for each rotation along the frame 1, resulting in high cutting efficiency.
[0045] The implementation principle of a clay packaging machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: A positioning guide plate 31 has a first guide area 311 and a second guide area 312 along its length. After the first plastic sealing film is unwound by the first unwinding mechanism 2, the first plastic sealing film is redirected by the reversing guide plate 321. Through the limiting action of the passage gap 7, the first plastic sealing film adheres to the surfaces of the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312. The slit clay can be placed on the first plastic sealing film located in the first guide area 311 and the first plastic sealing film located in the second guide area 312, respectively. Subsequently, the first plastic sealing film, carrying the clay in the first guide area 311 and the clay in the second guide area 312, moves towards the second unwinding mechanism 4. At this time, the second unwinding mechanism 4 unwinds the second plastic sealing film, and the second limiting component 33 controls the movement of the first and second plastic sealing films. The film is shaped so that the second sealing film covers the first sealing film. Then, the edge-cutting mechanism 5 performs edge-sealing and edge-cutting operations along the length direction of the first and second sealing films, so that the clay in the first guide area 311 and the clay in the second guide area 312 are transported independently along the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312, respectively. The edge-cutting and sealing assembly 6 seals and cuts the two ends of the first and second sealing films containing clay in the first guide area 311 and the second guide area 312 along the width direction, so as to achieve the purpose of simultaneously sealing two colors of clay in one go. The synergy is high, and the surface of the clay sealed in this way is flat near the second sealing film, which helps to reduce the volume of the sealed clay, thereby helping to reduce the size of the overall packaging box of clay toys.
[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
