A width-adjustable packaging bag shaper, a bag maker, a packaging machine, and a method. The packaging machine including the bag maker, a traction device and a heat sealing device are respectively arranged above the bag maker, and a width adjustment device adjusts the distances between different sub bottom plates in a front bottom plate and a rear bottom plate by using a leadscrew and slide block mechanism, and then adjusts the width of a bottom plate. The leadscrew and slide block mechanism is used as the width adjustment device of the automatic width-adjustable noodle packaging bag shaper system, and four bottom plates are respectively fixed to the width adjustment device, so the leadscrew and slide block mechanism in operation is accurate in range of adjustment, is suitable for various widths of packaging bags, and has very important significance for the three-dimensional shaping effect of the packaging bags.

The power generation module group 1 includes a sheet 10 and power generation panels 21 to 24. First lines L1 and L1′ are present between the panels 21 and 22 adjacent to each other in the lateral direction, the first lines crossing neither the panels 21 nor 22 and coming in contact with both the panels 21 and 22. The second line L2 is present on the bottom side of the panel 21 and on the bottom side of the panel 22, crosses neither the panels 21 nor 22 and is parallel in the lateral direction. An angle θ1 that is the largest angle on the panel 22 side of angles formed by the second line L2 and the first lines L1 and L1′ is an acute angle. The panels 23 and 24 are disposed in line symmetry with the panels 21 and 22, respectively, with respect to the lateral direction.
