Is composed. In this case, each reference numeral is not related to the reference numeral of the present invention.

However, the simple method of controlling the speed of only the power transmission unit and the motor cannot accurately fold the surface according to the speed of the roller, and even if it is folded correctly, the folding speed must be changed according to the condition of the surface or the external environment and time. There was a problem that was impossible at all because the wealth could not be expanded.

The body (1) is a component that serves as the basic frame of the surface folding device of the present invention.

The surface 5 is transferred to the surface folding system by an instantaneous pushing force of the discharge conveyor and is moved through the roller 40. A rotation shaft 11 is installed on the side surface so as to rotate the roller 40 installed on the upper side of the face folding system, and includes a power unit 75 for transmitting power to the rotation shaft 11.

The first swing means 52 is a device in which the rotating part 143 is coupled to allow a predetermined angle swing movement so that the surface 5 moving along the roller 40 can be folded to a predetermined length, and the second swing means ( 54) is a device for swinging in the opposite direction after a predetermined angle swing movement of the first swing means 52. At this time, the swing order of the first swing means 52 and the second swing means 54 may be arbitrarily changed.

That is, the difference between the rotational speed of the roller 40 and the time when the noodle hair sensed through the sensor unit 72 is first sensed and the time sensed afterwards may be used.

In addition, the sensor unit 72 can be applied in various ways, from a simple sensor that counts the number of moving objects at a close distance to a camera that determines the appearance of an article.

Therefore, as the sensor unit 72, the vision camera is mounted and the surface to be transported is photographed, and then the photographing data is transmitted to the control unit, and the control unit analyzes the photographing data as an image to adjust the distance information of the surface. ), etc.

Alternatively, it may include an ultrasonic sensor that inspects the state of the roller 40 in direct contact with the surface 5.

For example, ultrasonic waves are transmitted through a medium, and reflection or diffraction is very high at the interface of the medium. Therefore, when the ultrasonic waves are scanned into the roller 40 serving as a medium, the surface or the inside of the broken or cracked roller 40 has a remarkably different reflection and diffraction pattern of the ultrasonic waves, so that it can be easily determined whether or not it is damaged.

When the position of the surface 5 moving along the roller 40 is detected by the sensor unit 72, the sensor unit 72 transmits the signal to the control unit 70, and the control unit 70 The speed of the noodles is calculated by using the difference between the first detected time point and the later detected time point.

The receiving unit 100 is a device that receives the surface 5 received by the force that the discharge conveyor momentarily pushes, and the roller 40 or the like rotates therein.

Since a plurality of sensors are attached to the outside or inside of the counting unit 200, the position of the surface 5 is sensed or the speed is sensed and transmitted to the control unit 70. Using this, the control unit 70 can count the surface supplied by the roller 40.

The swing unit 300 is a device that controls the first swing means 52 and the second swing means 54 to fold the surface.

The vision unit 400 is a device that detects an exact position or shape of a surface through a laser vision sensor and a camera.

With the method of detecting the exact position or shape of the surface, the laser band image detected by the laser vision sensor and the camera is compared with a pre-standardized image form to detect the swing starting point, and the swing is progressed from the swing starting point to make the surface twice. By making the folding line information (an image near the folded surface) detected at the same time while folding is compared again with the standardized image shape, the surface can be accurately folded in a short time.

In this case, the laser vision sensor includes a laser generator, a reflecting means for irradiating the generated laser to a predetermined position, and a camera for imaging the irradiated laser through a lens.

Therefore, the control unit 70 receives information that compares the laser band image detected through the laser vision sensor and the camera with a pre-standardized image form as a method of detecting the exact position or shape of the surface, and generates a warning alarm when there is an abnormality. If no abnormality occurs at the same time, the surface 5 can be folded twice within a predetermined length within the two swing movement times within the entry and exit time of the surface 5 The first swing movement time of the first swing means 52 and the second swing movement time of the second swing means 54 may be adjusted.

Finally, the side folded to a certain length becomes a finished product through alcohol and packaging work.
