  • Patent number: 9016033
    Abstract: A film clamping and cutting device of a film wrapping machine is revealed. A connecting plate of a film clamping and cutting unit is located by a braking part. Moreover, by moment of a rotating machinery before stopping, a film clamping and cutting unit main body assembled on the rotating machinery is driven to continue moving. Under the movement of the unit main body, a pulling force is generated by a pull cord arranged between the connecting plate and a vertical-wheel of the unit main body. The pulling force rotates the vertical-wheel so that both a film clamping and cutting rod assembled with the vertical-wheel and a clamp fall toward a blade block to clamp and cut off a film. The film is also pulled and cut by an elastic recovery force of the film clamping and cutting rod. Therefore automatic film clamping and cutting is carried out.

  • Patent number: 8997439
    Abstract: A film clamping and cutting device of stretch wrapping machines is revealed. A film clamping and cutting unit and a drag set used as an auxiliary are disposed on a turntable. The drag set includes a rotatable block which is connected to an assembly wheel of the film clamping and cutting unit. The rotatable block is connected to a shaft clipped in a clip space formed between a drag plate and a clip. An elastic body is assembled between the drag plate and the clip. By way of the drag plate, the clip and the elastic body, the shaft connected to the rotatable block is not released from the clip space until a film clamping and cutting rod and a clamp reach certain positions. Thus a connection rod disposed on the rotatable block drives the clamp to clip film timely so as to clamp and cut the film precisely.

  • Patent number: 6381929
    Abstract: An automatic bagging machine using cool-shrinking film includes mainly a machine body, a bag conveying device, a bag sealing device, a bag sucking device, and a bag supporting device combined on the machine body. The bag conveying device sends continual bags to the bag sucking device to suck and stick to a lower opening of each bag to open it for a first stage. Then the four corners of the opening of the bag are respectively sucked to stick to suck drums fixed with air suckers by operation of position air pressure cylinders beside each air sucker. Then the bag is expanded out to a preset medium size, not falling down during expanding process. Next, the bag supporting device continually sends out a certain length of the bag to be positioned in the bag supporting device, which then expands the bag again to a preset maximum size. The bag together with the bag supporting device are lowered down by elevating frames to release the bag to cover and surround products (or cartons) together with the storing plate.
