Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of simulated rattan processing equipment, and more specifically, to an automatic tube cutting and feeding device for simulated rattan. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the simulation industry, the advancement of technology, the development of simulation plants, preserved plants and the improvement of artistic reprocessing, more simulation plants will interpret the perfect harmony between man and nature. Through the unremitting efforts and diligent pursuit of practitioners, with the concept and attitude of "quality, innovation, quality, service", the simulation plant industry will win a more complete and rapid development space. The application of simulation plants in our country is not unfamiliar to people. Among them, simulation flowers and simulation rattan are the most widely used. The simulation rattan is processed by simulation rattan plastic extruder:

[0003] Similar extruders are used because simulated rattan is usually made of polymer materials such as plastic. These materials are in a molten state during the extrusion process, have a high temperature and good fluidity. After leaving the molding cavity of the extruder, they need to pass through the water pool at the discharge port for cooling. However, the temperature of the simulated rattan extruded by the extruder is relatively high. When the rattan enters the water, the heat of the rattan will be transferred to the cold water. In the continuous production process, high-temperature rattan continues to enter the cooling water. The continuous heat input will gradually increase the temperature of the cold water, resulting in insufficient cooling of the rattan and the internal material structure cannot be well fixed, which can easily cause quality problems in the rattan. In addition, the raw materials of simulated rattan usually contain some impurities when entering the extruder. When the rattan is cooled in the water, these impurities will gradually fall off and enter the water as the rattan surface contacts the water. As time accumulates, the content of impurities in the water will increase, causing them to adhere to the surface of the rattan, causing defects such as spots and stains on the rattan.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a simulated rattan automatic tube cutting and feeding device is proposed. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] As attached Figures 1 to 4The device is a simulated rattan automatic tube cutting and feeding device, comprising an extruder body 1, an extrusion screw 5, a cooling box 11, a water storage tank 13, and a water supply pipe 16. A feed port 2 is provided on the left side of the upper end of the extruder body 1, and a guide hopper 3 is mounted on the upper end of the feed port 2. A first motor 4 is mounted on the left side of the extruder body 1, and the extrusion screw 5 is mounted in the inner cavity of the extruder body 1. A heating plate 6 is mounted on the inner surface of the extruder body 1. An extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7 is provided on the right side of the extruder body 1. A molding cavity 8 is provided in the inner cavity of the extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7. A cylinder 9 is mounted on the upper end of the extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7, and a cutter 10 is provided above the molding cavity 8.

[0024] The cooling box 11 is arranged on the right side of the extrusion pipe cutting mechanism 7, and guide rollers 12 are installed at both ends of the inner cavity of the cooling box 11. The storage water tank 13 is arranged below the cooling box 11, and a water pump 14 is installed on the left side of the upper end of the storage water tank 13. A suction pipe 15 is installed at the input end of the water pump 14, and a water supply pipe 16 is installed at the output end of the water pump 14. A liquid level sensor 17 is installed on the left side of the inner cavity of the cooling box 11, and a temperature sensor 18 is installed below the liquid level sensor 17. A turbidity sensor 20 is installed on the right side of the inner cavity of the cooling box 11, and a drain valve 19 is opened on the left side of the bottom of the cooling box 11.

[0025] Among them: the guide hopper 3 facilitates the introduction of materials, so that the raw materials can enter the feed port 2 smoothly and concentratedly to avoid material scattering; the first motor 4 provides power for the extrusion screw 5 to rotate in the inner cavity of the extruder body 1; the extrusion screw 5 gradually compacts the raw materials entering the extruder body 1 and conveys them forward by stirring, extruding and propelling the materials, so that the raw materials are melted and extruded through the heating plate 6 during the extrusion process; the molding cavity 8 provides a specific shape and size limit for the material, so that the material plasticized by the extrusion screw 5 can be molded into the basic shape of the simulated rattan according to the design requirements; the cylinder 9 serves as the power source of the cutter 10, which can quickly and forcefully push the cutter 10 up and down to achieve precise segmented cutting of the rattan from the molding cavity 8, and the length of each rattan meets the requirements; the cooling box 11 provides a rapid cooling environment for the simulated rattan just extruded and cut, so that it can quickly solidify and maintain a stable shape and size;

[0026] The guide roller 12 guides the rattan to be transported in the water in the cooling box 11 in an orderly manner to ensure that the rattan will not be entangled, knotted or deformed during the cooling process. The storage water tank 13 is used to store cooling water to provide a continuous water source guarantee for the cooling process. The water pump 14 is used as the water delivery power to pump water out of the storage water tank 13 through the pumping pipe 15 and transport it to the cooling box 11 through the water supply pipe 16 to form automatic water replenishment. The liquid level sensor 17 monitors the water level in the cooling box 11 in real time. When the water level is lower than the set value, it can send out an alarm in time. The signal controls water pump 14 to start or adjust its operating state, ensuring that there is always sufficient water in cooling tank 11 for cooling. Temperature sensor 18 monitors the temperature of the cooling water in cooling tank 11. When the water temperature rises above the appropriate cooling range, the water is drained and fresh water is supplied to cooling tank 11 through water supply pipe 16, ensuring that the water temperature remains within the normal cooling range. Turbidity sensor 20 monitors the impurity content in the cooling water. When the turbidity reaches a certain level, it indicates excessive impurities in the water, which may affect the surface quality and cooling effect of the rattan. At this time, some of the wastewater is drained through drain valve 19 and fresh water is added to prevent impurities from adhering to the rattan surface.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 is further detailed in combination with the following specific working methods. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, see the following description for details:

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, a gantry 21 is provided on the right side of the cooling box 11, a feed roller 23 is installed in the inner cavity of the gantry 21, and a second motor 22 is installed on the upper end of the front end surface of the gantry 21; further, the gantry 21 provides a stable support structure for the feed roller 23, and the second motor 22 drives the feed roller 23 to rotate, and the cooled rattan can be transported through the two groups of feed rollers 23. Through the precise control of the second motor 22, the rotation speed of the feed roller 23 can be accurately adjusted, and the feeding speed can be flexibly adjusted.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the extrusion screw 5 abuts against the inner cavity of the extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7, and the first motor 4 is used to drive the extrusion screw 5 to rotate around its axis; further, the outer surface of the extrusion screw 5 abuts against the inner cavity of the extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7, and the tight fit makes the material subject to stable pressure during the extrusion process. When the first motor 4 drives the extrusion screw 5 to rotate, the screw can effectively push the material forward, and the material will not flow back from the gap between the screw and the extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the telescopic end of the cylinder 9 passes through the inner cavity of the extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7 and is connected to the cutter 10. The telescopic end of the cylinder 9 drives the cutter 10 to be inserted into the inner cavity of the molding cavity 8 for lifting movement; further, the power provided by the cylinder 9 is strong and stable, and can quickly drive the cutter 10 to lift and lower. This efficient driving method enables the cutting process to be completed in a short time, greatly improving the cutting efficiency. The cutter 10 is inserted into the molding cavity 8 for cutting under the drive of the cylinder 9. Due to the stable power and the accuracy of the movement direction, the incision of the rattan can be smooth.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, two groups of guide rollers 12 are symmetrically arranged, the end of the water suction pipe 15 away from the water pump 14 is inserted into the inner cavity of the water storage tank 13, and the end of the water supply pipe 16 away from the water pump 14 bypasses one side of the cooling box 11 and extends to the top; further, the two groups of symmetrically arranged guide rollers 12 can ensure that the simulated rattan passes through the cooling water in the cooling box 11 in a stable posture. After the rattan comes out of the extrusion and pipe cutting mechanism 7, it enters the cooling box 11. Under the guidance of the guide rollers 12, the rattan can remain in the cooling box 11 and enter the feed roller 23 through the water pool according to a predetermined path.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, two sets of feed rollers 23 are provided. The second motor 22 is used to drive one set of feed rollers 23 to rotate about its axis, leaving a gap between the two sets of feed rollers 23 for the rattan to pass through and abut. Furthermore, the provision of two sets of feed rollers 23 with a gap between them for the rattan to pass through and abut, such a design can effectively clamp the rattan from both the upper and lower directions. When the second motor 22 drives one set of feed rollers 23 to rotate, due to the combined effect of the upper and lower feed rollers 23 abutting the rattan, friction drives the rattan forward for transportation.

[0034] The working process of the present invention is as follows: first, the raw material enters the extruder body 1 through the guide hopper 3 and the feed port 2. At this time, the heating plate 6 installed in the inner cavity of the extruder body 1 starts to work, heating the raw material entering, so that it gradually heats up to a molten state. At the same time, the first motor 4 is started to drive the extrusion screw 5 to rotate around its axis. Since the outer surface of the extrusion screw 5 is in close contact with the inner cavity of the extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7, the screw not only pushes the material forward during the rotation process, but also shears, stirs and extrude the material through its spiral structure, and cooperates with the heating effect of the heating plate 6 to accelerate the melting and plasticizing process of the material, so that the material gradually fills the molding cavity 8 of the extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7 under the joint action of pressure and temperature. In this process, the material is further evenly mixed, plasticized and preliminarily formed to form a simulated rattan blank with a certain shape and structure;

[0035] Then the rattan is guided into the cooling box 11. The two sets of symmetrically arranged guide rollers 12 in the cooling box 11 guide the rattan to pass smoothly in the cooling box 11. The water in the storage tank 13 is extracted through the pumping pipe 15 under the action of the water pump 14, and then the water delivery pipe 16 bypasses one side of the cooling box 11 and extends to the top before entering the cooling box 11 to cool the rattan, so that the rattan is quickly solidified and shaped to ensure the stability of its shape and performance. The second motor 22 drives one set of feeding rollers 23 to rotate so that the cooled rattan is discharged by the two sets of feeding rollers 23 in the gantry 21. The liquid level sensor 17 monitors the water level in the cooling box 11 in real time. When the water level is lower than the set value, the control system can control the water pump 14 to replenish the water source according to its feedback signal. The temperature sensor 1 8 monitors the temperature of the cooling water. Once the water temperature exceeds the range suitable for cooling the rattan, the control opens the drain valve 19 and sends the water in the storage tank 13 to the cooling box 11 through the water supply pipe 16. The turbidity sensor 20 detects the content of impurities in the cooling water. When the impurities are too much and reach the set threshold, the drain valve 19 opens to discharge part of the sewage. At the same time, fresh water can be added to replace and replenish the water containing impurities in the cooling box 11. When it is necessary to cut the formed rattan, the telescopic end of the cylinder 9 receives the instruction and starts to move. It penetrates the inner cavity of the extrusion tube cutting mechanism 7 and drives the cutter 10 to insert into the inner cavity of the forming cavity 8 for lifting and lowering movement, thereby cutting the continuously extruded rattan according to the predetermined length. The above is the working principle of this simulated rattan automatic tube cutting and feeding device.
