Research And Development For "Sydney" Napkin Folding Machine

In western countries, the vast majority of luxury hotels will provide consumers with the napkin with rich colors and unique shape. These colorful and unique shape of the napkin is not only a beautifully decoration to the dining table, it can also enhance the consumers'dining atmosphere and leave them a better consumer experience. At present, the napkin with the unique shape has a great market demand in Europe. In China, with the improvement of people's living standards, catering industry is now in rapid development, these uniquely shaped napkins also appeared in many hotels and it's believed that the demand will be more and more. Because of the folding method of the napkin is very complex, these napkins are folded by hand with low efficiency and higher manpower costs. Therefore, to the napkin supplier it is very necessary to design and manufacture an automation napkin folding machine. "Sydney" napkin is one of the many types napkins, it gets the name because the shape resembles the world's famous building, the Sydney Opera, its beautiful and concise, and has great demand. This design is focus on folding the "Sydney" napkin.The main work and achievements of the paper are as follows,1. Analyze the present situation of napkin folding machine at home and abroad, combined with the results of the theoretical studies of related literature, according to the analysis of a certain kind of complex napkin shape, designed a complex shape napkin folding machine (including all functional bodies), to realize this kind of complex shapes napkin folding action.2. Identify the key factors to accurate the layer separate action and solve the key technique problem, separate the paper, during the folding, by the mathematical analysis of the napkin layers feature.3. Made a sub-structure design of the vacuum adsorption belt by analyzing the research status of different devices at home and abroad in the vacuum adsorption system, combined with the requirement of the napkin folding machine, and made a brief introduction to the vacuum adsorption circuits and components. 4. Set up an automatic control system based on the Mitsubishi FA platform according to the control needs of the napkin folding machine, create procedures and man-machine interface and complete automatic control system.
