AI Technical Summary
[0002]海绵环切是海绵长方在环形轨道上连续运行过程中,在海绵长方上由上至下逐层切割制得海绵薄片卷材的过程,在海绵切割工位,运行的海绵需要有稳定的支撑,维持海绵孔隙均匀,以使切割后的海绵薄片厚度均匀,现有技术中,海绵环切的切割工位处,采用多棍支撑输送带的方式对海绵进行输送,海绵在经过该支撑位置时匀速移动以使固定不动的切割刀片能够对海绵长方的表面进行裁切,在海绵长方较厚时,这种多辊支撑的方式并不会对海绵切割厚度的均匀性造成明显影响,随着切割次数的增大,当海绵已然较薄时,多辊支撑的方式会因输送带的柔性和辊间间隙的存在而使切割厚度不均匀,也即海绵长方较薄时,在经过该输送带时因底部存在小幅度弯曲而使切割表面也存在不平整
[0007]本方案通过在链带外侧设置链条的方式,使链带与链条通过共同的转杆实现连接,即链条与链带同步,在链条上设置滚轮,使其受支架上的支撑台阶限位,维持链带在平直段处于平直状态以支撑其上方的海绵平稳通过,另外,在链带外包覆环形的胶片,消除了链带上相邻链板之间的缝隙,避免海绵进入链带时被链板间的间隙夹持和绞入,同时,在链带上方的切割刀片在压紧海绵进行切割时,海绵能够维持相对平稳和压缩程度的均匀,提高裁切精度。

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sponge processing technology, and in particular to a sponge support structure for the cutting station on a sponge ring cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Sponge ring cutting is a process in which a rectangular piece of sponge is continuously cut layer by layer from top to bottom on a circular track to produce a thin sheet roll of sponge material. At the sponge cutting station, the moving sponge needs stable support to maintain uniform sponge pores so that the cut sponge sheet has a uniform thickness. In the existing technology, a multi-roller support conveyor belt is used to transport the sponge at the cutting station. The sponge moves at a uniform speed when passing through the support position so that the stationary cutting blade can cut the surface of the rectangular sponge. When the rectangular sponge is relatively thick, this multi-roller support method does not have a significant impact on the uniformity of the sponge cutting thickness. However, as the number of cuts increases, when the sponge is already relatively thin, the multi-roller support method will cause uneven cutting thickness due to the flexibility of the conveyor belt and the gaps between the rollers. That is, when the rectangular sponge is relatively thin, the bottom of the conveyor belt bends slightly when passing through it, resulting in an uneven cut surface. Using chain plates as the conveyor belt can avoid longitudinal bending and fluctuation of the sponge during transportation compared to the combination of multi-roller and flexible conveyor belts. However, there is a possibility that the bottom surface of the sponge may be partially trapped in the gaps between the chain plates, causing the sponge to tear in the long direction, resulting in fluctuations during transportation and damage to the bottom surface of the sponge. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a cutting station material feeding platform that maintains stable support for the sponge during sponge ring cutting.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sponge support structure for the cutting station on a sponge ring cutting machine, characterized in that it includes a bracket, two rotating shafts rotatably connected to the bracket, an annular chain belt, and two annular chains. The two ends of the rotating shafts are respectively fixedly provided with sprockets that cooperate with the chains. The chains include several chain links, the chain belt includes chain plates corresponding to each chain link, and several rotating rods corresponding to each chain link. The rotating rods simultaneously connect adjacent chain links and adjacent chain plates. Several rollers are rotatably connected to the chains, and the bracket has support steps that cooperate with the rollers.
[0005] Furthermore, it also includes a ring-shaped film that covers the outside of the chain belt.
[0006] Furthermore, the inner side of the film has several clips, and the chain plate has positioning holes corresponding to the clips.
[0007] This solution connects the chain and the belt via a common rotating rod by installing a chain on the outside of the belt. The chain and belt move synchronously, and rollers on the chain are limited by support steps on the bracket, keeping the belt straight in straight sections to support the smooth passage of the sponge above. Additionally, a ring-shaped film covers the outside of the belt, eliminating gaps between adjacent chain plates and preventing the sponge from being caught or tangled in them when entering the belt. Simultaneously, the cutting blade above the belt compresses the sponge, ensuring relative stability and uniform compression, thus improving cutting accuracy.
[0008] The film and the chain are connected at multiple points, allowing the film to maintain a flat and close fit with each other through small deformations during the chain's rotation. The film not only eliminates the gaps between the chain plates, but also further improves the flatness of the sponge support surface. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0015] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device includes a bracket 1, two rotating shafts 2 rotatably connected to the bracket 1, an annular chain belt 3, and two annular chains 4. Each end of the rotating shaft 2 is fixedly equipped with a sprocket that cooperates with the chain 4. The chain 4 includes several chain links. The chain belt 3 includes chain plates corresponding to each chain link and several rotating rods 5 corresponding to each chain link. The rotating rods 5 connect adjacent chain links and adjacent chain plates. Several rollers 6 are rotatably connected to the chain 4. The bracket 1 has supporting steps 7 that cooperate with the rollers 6. It also includes an annular film 8, which covers the chain belt 3. The inner side of the film 8 has several clips, and the chain plates have positioning holes 9 corresponding to the clips.
[0016] This solution connects the chain belt 3 and the chain 4 via a common rotating rod 5 by setting a chain 4 on the outside of the chain belt 3. That is, the chain 4 and the chain belt 3 are synchronized. Rollers 6 are set on the chain 4 and are limited by the support steps 7 on the bracket 1 to keep the chain belt 3 in a straight state in the straight section to support the sponge above it to pass smoothly. In addition, the chain belt 3 is covered with an annular film 8 to eliminate the gaps between adjacent chain plates on the chain belt 3, so as to prevent the sponge from being pinched and tangled in the gaps between the chain plates when it enters the chain belt 3. At the same time, when the cutting blade above the chain belt 3 presses the sponge to cut, the sponge can maintain a relatively stable and uniform degree of compression, improving the cutting accuracy.
[0017] The film 8 and the chain belt 3 are connected at multiple points, allowing the film 8 to maintain a flat and close fit between the two through small deformations during the rotation of the chain belt 3. The film 8 not only eliminates the gap between the chain plates, but also further improves the flatness of the sponge support surface.
[0018] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of the invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
