Soft Roll Material Translation Device for Dual Film Packing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Pillow type automatic packing machines are inefficient as they can only pack one series of goods using a single roll of film, leading to low work efficiency and increased operational costs due to the need for multiple independent machines.
Innovation Solution
A soft roll material-translation device with a frame, left and right rotating devices, and folding rod pairs that adjust the angle and spacing of the film rolls to allow for parallel alignment and efficient feeding, enabling the use of two rolls of film in a single machine to pack two series of goods simultaneously.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If two independent pillow type automatic packing machines are combined back-to-back to improve packing speed and decrease occupied space, then the occupied space is decreased a little, but the cost of manufacture and the number of operators is nearly the same as that of two separate machines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two pillow type automatic packing machines into a single integrated device where one roll of film serves both packing lines. The film rolling device is shared between the two packing machines, allowing simultaneous operation with reduced space occupation while maintaining independent control of each packing line.
Solution Approach 2:
The film rolling device performs multiple functions by serving both packing lines simultaneously. A single roll of film is divided into two film strips that feed into two separate packing machines, making the film rolling mechanism universal for both packing operations rather than dedicated to one line.
2Productivity
If one roll of film is used to package one series of packing goods in a pillow type automatic packing machine, then the device structure is simple, but the work efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments a single roll of film into two separate film strips through a dividing mechanism. This allows one packing machine to simultaneously package two series of goods using the divided film strips, effectively doubling the productivity without requiring two complete independent machines.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a single-film configuration to a multi-film configuration by utilizing the width dimension of the film roll. Instead of using the film sequentially in one direction, the film is divided laterally to create parallel packing operations, adding a spatial dimension to the packing process.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a soft roll material-translating device for the mechanical apparatus of machining and cutting after severing. The existing pillow type of automatic packing machine can only pack produces using one single roll of film, so the work efficiency is low. Consequently, the present invention aims at improving the work efficiency and it adopts following technical solutions: the soft roll material-translating device includes a frame (1), a right rotating unit (3) with right folding rod pair (5) and a left rotating unit (2) with left folding rod pair (4) are mounted on the frame (1), the right rotating unit (3) and the left rotating unit (2) can both rotate around a rotating center. By adding a few of mechanisms, the work efficiency of the device can be multiplied one times.
