Abstract

The invention presents a separation device for separating a plurality of cross-folding fiber products, and comprising a separation base located on a working bench, first to third separation units and a fixing unit that are respectively located on the separation base and driven by drive units. The first separation unit is movable to insert between two fiber products to form a gap. The second separation unit and the third separation unit are each extended/retracted to reach into the gap, and the third separation unit is moved horizontally to generate a gap between the two separation units. The fixing unit is extended to reach into the gap and moves horizontally. When the fixing unit is moved toward a downstream side of the working bench, and after the third separation unit is approaching the first separation unit, the third separation unit is caused to vibrate to separate the two fiber products. As such, when a plurality of cross-folding fiber products is separated, the fiber products are prevented from being damaged.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, when the fixing units 105 continue to move toward the downstream side 12, each of the third driving units 108 respectively drives the third separating units 104 to vibrate, so that the fiber product 1 and the fiber product are 2 the portions of the cross-folded connection are loosened to facilitate the gripping of the fibrous article 1 by the gripping elements, thereby preventing the gripping member from gripping the fibrous article 1 resulting in the fibrous article 1 or the fibrous article 2 damaged. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the fibrous product 1 and the fibrous product 2 are cross-folded in a V-fold manner, and the third separating unit 104 presses the fibrous product 2 while also pressing the fibrous product 1 a joint with the fibrous product 2; as shown in Fig. 8, by shaking the third separating unit 104, the joint of the fibrous product 1 is no longer pressed by the third separating unit 104 to facilitate the The gripping member grips the fibrous product 1 and effectively prevents the fibrous product 1 or the fibrous product 2 from being broken by pulling.

After the gripping elements grip the fibrous product 1, each of the third driving units 108 drives each of the third separating units 104 again to be contracted away from the working table 10, and each of the fourth driving units Each of the fixing units 105 is driven separately by 108 to move and contract back to the initial position. Thereafter, the fibrous product 3 continues to be transported by the work table 10, and after the fibrous product 3 reaches the specific position, each of the first separating unit 102, each of the second separating units 103, and each of the third separating units 104 and each of the fixing units 105 perform the above-described operation again, thereby repeatedly separating the plurality of cross-folded fiber products 2, 3.

In addition, it should be understood that the first driving units 106 are preferably synchronously rotated, and the second driving units 107 are preferably synchronously stretched, and the third driving units 108 are preferably synchronously telescoped or moved. The four driving units 109 are preferably synchronously expanded or moved, but are not limited thereto, and may be sequentially performed.

Furthermore, it should be understood that when the third separation unit 104 extends between the cross-folded fibrous articles 1, 2, the insertion portions of the third separation units 104 are preferably adjacent to the cross-folded The tops of the fibrous articles 1, 2, whereby the third separating unit 104 can be pressed by the third separating unit 104 without any slight vibration.

In summary, the separating device for separating a plurality of cross-folded fiber products of the present invention automatically and easily separates the repeated operations of the first separating unit to each of the third separating units and each of the fixed units. Cross-folding fiber products to facilitate the gripping of the fiber products by the gripping members, thereby avoiding damage to the fiber products when the fiber products are gripped, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and increasing manufacturing speed; The first separating unit to each of the third separating units and each of the fixed units effectively reduces the waiting time between the units by the time difference, thereby shortening the manufacturing time.
