The platform 30 is fixed on the top surface of the base 20 and located below the welding head 162 of the ultrasonic welding machine 16 and has a first side 32 and a second side 34 opposite to the first side of the platform 30. 32 engages the discharge opening 142 of the paper folding machine 14, and the second side 34 of the platform 30 has two perforations 36.

The conveying unit 40 has two rotating shafts 41, 42, four mutually parallel conveying belts 43, a motor 44, a pulley 45, and a transmission belt 46. The two rotating shafts 41, 42 are rotatably disposed on the base 20 and respectively correspond to the first and second side edges 32, 34 of the platform 30; each of the conveyor belts 43 are disposed around the two rotating shafts 41, 42 and surround the platform 30; The motor 44 is fixed to the base 20 and has a drive shaft 442. The pulley 45 is fixed to the drive shaft 442 of the motor 44. The drive belt 46 is disposed around the pulley 45 and the rotating shaft 42. Therefore, when the motor 44 is started by the start of a control box 47, the drive shaft 442 of the motor 44 drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate through the pulley 45 and the transmission belt 46, and then the rotating shaft 42 drives the conveyor belts 43 around the platform. 30 is actuated to drive the folder 80 to be welded, and then rotates the rotating shaft 41 during the operation. It should be additionally noted here that the number of the conveyor belts 43 does not have to be four, and at least one of them can achieve the conveying effect.

In order to ensure that the direction of movement of the folder 80 on the conveyor belt 43 is not produced The transfer unit 40 further has a plurality of guide wheels 48. The plurality of guide wheels 48 are rotatably disposed on the base 20 and are located side by side between the first and second side edges 32, 34 of the platform 30. The moving direction of the folder 80 is guided by the timely pushing of the folder 80 as shown in the third to fifth figures.

The pressure roller unit 50 has a fixed shaft 52, a first axle 54, a third axle 56, and a four pressure roller 58. The fixed shaft 52 is fixed to the base 20 and spans over the first side 32 of the platform 30; each of the first axles 54 is connected at one end thereof to the fixed shaft 52 and extends away from the discharge opening 142 of the folding machine 14; The second axle 56 is connected at one end thereof to the fixed shaft 52 and extends in the direction of the discharge opening 142 of the folding machine 14; each of the pressure rollers 58 is rotatably provided at the other end of the first and second axles 54, 56 and is abutted A belt 43 is provided to press against the folder 80 to increase the flatness during the transport process. It should be additionally noted that the number of the second axles 56 does not have to be three, as long as at least one, in this case, the number of the pressure rollers 58 is only two and is respectively installed on the first and second axles. 54, 56 can be.

Each of the stop cylinders 60 has a cylinder 62 and a stop rod 64 extending from the cylinder 62. The cylinder block 62 is fixed to the base 20 and located below the platform 30. The stop lever 64 can be extended or shortened under the control of a control system 18, and protrudes from the platform 30 via the through holes 36 of the platform 30 when the stop lever 64 is extended. The surface is used to block the folder 80 from moving with the conveyor belt 43. It should be additionally noted that the number of the perforations 36 and the stop cylinders 60 of the platform 30 need not be two, and at least one of them can cooperate with each other to achieve the desired effect.

On the other hand, in order to ensure that the manufactured folder 80 has good The flatness of the automatic transfer mechanism 12 of the present invention further provides a pressurizing unit 70 having a fixed plate 72, two weight members 74, and four pressurizing wheels 76. The fixing plate 72 is fixed to the base 20 and spans over the second side 34 of the platform 30; each weighting member 74 (here, a weight is taken as an example) is disposed on the top surface of the fixing plate 72 by its own weight. The downward pressure is provided, and the weight can be adjusted according to actual needs; each of the pressing wheels 76 is rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the fixing plate 72 and abuts against each of the conveying belts 43. Thereby, each of the pressure rollers 76 is pressed against the folder 80 by the weight from each weight member 74. It should be additionally noted here that the number of the weight members 74 does not have to be two, and the number of the pressure rollers 76 does not have to be four, and both of them need only at least one to achieve the effect of pressurization.

The above is the detailed structure of the automatic transfer mechanism 12 of the present invention, and the operation flow and features of the present invention will be described below.

When the folder 80 for completing the folding operation is sent out from the discharge port 142 of the paper folding machine 14 to the platform 30, the folder 80 is driven by the respective conveyor belts 43 toward the welding head 162 of the ultrasonic welding machine 16, during the movement process. In the middle, the folder 80 will be pressed by the pressure rollers 58 to have a good flatness, and will also be pushed in time by the plurality of guide wheels 48 to ensure that the moving direction does not shift until the folder 80 When blocked by the stop lever 64 of the stop cylinder 60, as shown in the third to fifth figures, the portion to be welded of the folder 80 just stays below the horn 162 of the ultrasonic fusion splicer 16, but at this time The conveyor belt 43 is still rotating, and then the welding head 162 of the ultrasonic welding machine 16 is controlled by the control system 18 to weld the folder 80 to be welded, and the folder is completed once the welding operation is completed. At the time of manufacture 80, the stop lever 64 of the stop cylinder 60 is contracted by the control system 18 to release the blocking effect of the stop lever 64 on the folder 80, and then the folder 80 will follow the conveyor belt. Through the respective pressure rollers 76, as shown in the sixth figure, the finished folder 80 has a good flatness, and finally the folder 80 will slide down the guide plate 22 as the conveyor belt 43 leaves the platform 30. At the bottom of the base 20, after the folder 80 to be manufactured leaves the platform 30, the stop lever 64 of the stop cylinder 60 is again extended by the control of the control system 18 to block the next folder 80 for the next time. Welding operation.

In summary, the automatic transfer mechanism 12 of the present invention can effectively replace the manual transport mode, so that the folder 80 that has been folded in half can be automatically transferred to the ultrasonic fusion splicer 16 for manufacturing, so that the paper can be effectively saved from the paper folding machine 14 The manpower and time of carrying the ultrasonic fusion splicer 16 are used to improve the efficiency and productivity of the automated operation to achieve the object of the present invention.
