Abstract:
1. A tissue paper winding and cutting machine, comprising: a first winding roller; at least one core support plate arranged in a vicinity of the first winding roller, such that a channel having a loading end and an output end is formed between the first winding roller and the at least one core support plate, allowing a long strip of a tissue paper to pass through the loading end to bear against a lower half circumferential surface of the first winding roller and be wound in a predetermined direction around a first core in a winding area near to the output end of the channel; and a pre-winding roller arranged below and in the vicinity of the first winding roller with a circumferential surface of the pre-winding roller facing toward the first winding roller and protruding into the channel formed between the first winding roller and the at least one core support plate, so that a narrowed passage is formed in the channel between the first winding roller and the protruded circumferential surface of the pre-winding roller; and the pre-winding roller having a shaft, about which the pre-winding roller rotates in a direction opposite to the predetermined moving direction of the tissue paper at a rotation speed slower than that of the first winding roller; whereby when a second core having a length of glue applied thereto is driven to move from the loading end into the channel and roll to the narrowed passage in the channel, the second core is temporarily held at the narrowed passage due to a difference between the rotation speeds of the first winding roller and the pre-winding roller, contacts the tissue paper which is attached to the glue on the second core and winds around the circumferential surface of the second core while being clamped by and between the first winding roller and the pre-winding roller, and a section of the tissue paper located between the first core and the second core is pulled broken by a pulling force produced by a rolled tissue wound around the first core that keeps rotating while the second core is held at the narrowed passage.
