Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wet wipes, and in particular to a device and method for making instant wet wipes. Background technology:

[0002] Compared with dry paper towels, wet wipes have better cleaning properties and are popular in many occasions. The use of wet wipes in daily life is becoming more and more common. Existing wet wipes are provided through industrial production to form packaged products for consumers. There are two forms. One is that several sheets are stacked and packaged to form a pull-out wet wipe that can be drawn multiple times, which is suitable for home or public places; the other is a single sheet package, which is suitable for personal portable scenes; both forms of wet wipes face the same problem, that is, the prepared wet wipes are easy to deteriorate and cannot be stored for a long time. The liquid in the wet wipes will deteriorate and cannot be used after a certain period of time due to the influence of storage conditions. In particular, the pull-out wet wipes will volatilize or be contaminated by bacteria at the opening due to frequent opening and closing, which will cause the liquid in the wet wipes to dry or deteriorate due to bacterial contamination at the opening; the wet wipes currently sold on the market need to be used up within a short period of time as long as the package is opened and used once. The remaining wet wipes will quickly deteriorate and become ineffective due to reasons such as sealing and shelf life.

[0003] In order to solve the problem that wet wipes are easy to deteriorate and cannot be stored for a long time, although some instant wet wipes making devices have appeared on the market, that is, when the user needs to use wet wipes, the machine will immediately make brand new wet wipes according to the needs, so as to ensure the use effect of the wet wipes; for example, the Chinese invention patent with application number CN200710056311.X discloses a paper towel wetting mechanism, including a paper wetting power roller, a paper wetting driven roller, and a paper towel wetting belt. The paper wetting power roller and the paper wetting driven roller form a pair of friction transmission pairs through which the paper towel can pass. The paper wetting power roller is wound with a paper towel wetting belt, and the paper towel wetting belt is evenly spaced. A water-proof partition is provided, the distance between the partitions is 1 / 2 to 1 / 8 of the circumference of the paper towel soaking belt, and the width of the partition is 2 to 15 mm; the bottom of the paper towel soaking belt is soaked in the liquid in the liquid storage chamber, and the paper towel soaking belt carrying the wetting liquid intermittently wets the paper towel; its beneficial effect is: the paper towel can be immediately moistened once and for all, so as to achieve the effect of moistening the paper at any time; however, it is not only complex in structure and inconvenient for daily use, but also its soaking liquid and the paper towel to be soaked are not separated and stored, and the paper towel to be soaked is easy to absorb the volatile soaking liquid, so that the instantaneous production of the wet wipes cannot be achieved, which affects the use effect of the prepared wet wipes. Summary of the invention:

[0009] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the storage module is a storage barrel, which is inserted into the chassis in a detachable manner, and the storage barrel is formed with a storage cavity for storing compressed towel blocks, and a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the storage barrel, which is communicated with the storage cavity, and a stopper is provided at the discharge port; when the stopper is not pushed open, the stopper presses upward against the compressed towel block; when the stopper is pushed open, the stopper stops pressing upward against the compressed towel block, and the compressed towel block falls out from the discharge port.

[0010] A further improvement to the above solution is that a push-up member for pushing open the blocking member so that the compressed towel block in the material storage cavity can fall out is provided in the chassis.

[0015] A method for making instant wet wipes comprises the following steps:

[0016] A. Make compressed towel blocks and soak them in liquid;

[0017] B. Pre-separate and store compressed towels and soaked liquids;

[0018] C. When receiving a signal for making wet wipes, the compressed wipes block is immediately sent into the soaking area and the soaking liquid is sent into the soaking area;

[0019] D. The compressed wipes contact and absorb the soaking liquid to form wet wipes.

[0020] A further improvement to the above scheme is that, in step C, a certain amount of soaking liquid is fed into the soaking area each time.

[0021] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the quantitative size can be adjusted.

[0022] A further improvement to the above scheme is that in step C, the soaking liquid is heated or cooled.

[0025] A further improvement to the above solution is that in step A, when making the compressed towel block, text and / or pattern are printed on the compressed towel block.

[0026] A further improvement to the above scheme is that in step A, when making the compressed towel block, a greater compression amount is applied to the edges of the compressed towel block so that the edges of the compressed towel block form a high-density inhibitory portion that can be used to slow down the moisture absorption and expansion rate of the edges of the compressed towel block.

[0027] A further improvement to the above scheme is that, in step C, the speed of delivering the soaking liquid into the soaking zone is controlled to be less than or equal to the speed at which the compressed towel block absorbs the soaking liquid.

[0028] A further improvement to the above scheme is that, in step C, the soaking liquid is fed into the soaking zone in several batches and intermittently.

[0029] A further improvement to the above scheme is that, in step C, the order of sending the compressed towel block into the soaking area and sending the soaking liquid into the soaking area is one of sending the compressed towel block into the soaking area first and then sending the soaking liquid into the soaking area, sending the soaking liquid into the soaking area first and then sending the compressed towel block into the soaking area, and sending the compressed towel block and the soaking liquid into the soaking area at the same time.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the instant wet wipes making device provided by the present invention comprises a chassis, a control module, a material storage module for storing compressed wipes to be soaked, a liquid storage module for storing liquid soaking the compressed wipes, a soaking area for soaking the compressed wipes, and a liquid delivery module for delivering the soaking liquid in the liquid storage module to the soaking area, wherein the compressed wipes and the soaking liquid are stored separately; the present invention has the following advantages:

[0031] 1. The compressed towel block of the present invention is stored separately from the soaking liquid. When wet towels need to be made, the compressed towel block is sent to the soaking area and the soaking liquid is sent to the soaking area through the liquid feeding module. The compressed towel block contacts and absorbs the soaking liquid. The compressed towel block is stored separately from the soaking liquid during the soaking process, which can prevent the compressed towel block from contacting and absorbing the volatile soaking liquid during the soaking process. The present invention is not only simple and reasonable in structure and suitable for daily use, but also can ensure the immediacy of wet towel production and the use effect of the prepared wet towel;

[0032] 2. Compared with ordinary wipes, the present invention uses compressed wipes to make wet wipes, which can make the device accommodate more wipes in a smaller volume, so there is no need to frequently add wipes to the device, which is more convenient to use. The wet wipes made with compressed wipes have better elasticity and strength, which can ensure the use effect of the wet wipes.

[0033] 3. The liquid delivery module of the present invention includes a liquid pump and a liquid output amount regulating module. By controlling the liquid pumping time of the liquid pump, the liquid pumping amount can be controlled. The liquid pump can deliver a quantitative amount of soaking liquid to the soaking area, so that the compressed towel block can be soaked quantitatively, and the use effect of the prepared wet towel can be guaranteed. The amount of soaking liquid delivered to the soaking area can be adjusted by the liquid output amount regulating module, so that wet towels with different humidity levels can be produced according to specific usage conditions, which has a wider range of use and stronger practicality.

[0034] 4. The material storage module of the present invention is a material storage barrel, which is detachably inserted into the chassis. The material storage barrel is plug-and-play. When replenishing the compressed towel block, it is only necessary to take out the original material storage barrel without the compressed towel block and insert the material storage barrel with the compressed towel block into the wet wipe making device to replenish the compressed towel block. The whole process is very simple and convenient. The wet wipe making device can be replenished with compressed towel blocks without touching the replenished compressed towel block by hand, so it is not easy to cause contamination to the replenished compressed towel block, and the prepared wet wipes can be cleaner and more hygienic.

[0035] 5. Since the compressed towel block cannot absorb the soaking liquid 100%, there will inevitably be residual soaking liquid in the soaking tank after one wet towel is made. The soaking tank of the towel discharging mechanism of the present invention is connected with an anti-soaking support plate in a vertical sliding direction. The anti-soaking support plate holds the compressed towel block to be soaked upward. By lifting and lowering the anti-soaking support plate, it is possible to control whether the compressed towel block contacts the bottom wall of the soaking tank, so that the compressed towel block will not contact the soaking liquid and will not absorb the soaking liquid during the soaking process, thereby ensuring the immediacy of wet towel production and thus ensuring the use effect of the prepared wet towel;

[0036] 6. The chassis of the present invention is provided with a heating module capable of heating the soaking liquid, a refrigeration module capable of cooling the soaking liquid, and a disinfection module capable of disinfecting the soaking liquid. The temperature of the prepared wet wipes can be adjusted by the heating module and the refrigeration module, so that wet wipes of the required temperature can be prepared according to the actual use of individuals, which is more practical. The soaking liquid can be disinfected by the disinfection module, so that the prepared wet wipes can be safer and more hygienic.

[0037] 7. Since the compressed towel block will expand after absorbing moisture, it will inevitably absorb the surrounding liquid vapor and expand a small amount during the soaking process even if it does not directly contact the soaking liquid. The edges of the compressed towel block are more likely to expand due to moisture absorption. After the edges of the compressed towel block absorb moisture and expand, they are easily stuck at the discharge port, which may cause the compressed towel block to fall unsmoothly, thereby affecting the subsequent production of wet wipes. When making the compressed towel block, the present invention applies a greater amount of compression to the edges of the compressed towel block, so that the edges of the compressed towel block form a higher density inhibition portion that can be used to slow down the moisture absorption and expansion speed of the edges of the compressed towel block. The inhibition portion can slow down the moisture absorption and expansion speed of the edges of the compressed towel block, so that the edges of the compressed towel block are not prone to moisture absorption and expansion during the soaking process, which can ensure smooth discharge of the compressed towel block and smooth production of wet wipes.

Specific implementation method:

[0052] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-7 As shown, an instant wet wipes making device comprises a chassis 2, a control module 3, a material storage module for storing a compressed wipe block 1 to be soaked, a liquid storage module for storing a wetting liquid for the compressed wipe block 1, a wetting area 82 for soaking the compressed wipe block 1, and a liquid delivery module for delivering the wetting liquid in the liquid storage module to the wetting area 82, wherein the compressed wipe block 1 and the wetting liquid are stored separately, and the liquid storage module in this embodiment is a liquid storage tank 4; the compressed wipe block 1 is located in the chassis 2, and a device is provided in the chassis 2 for delivering the compressed wipe block 1 to be soaked, the semi-soaked compressed wipe block 1, or the soaked compressed wipe block 1 to The towel discharging mechanism is outside the chassis 2; the compressed towel block 1 of the present invention is stored separately from the soaking liquid. When wet towels need to be made, the compressed towel block 1 is sent to the soaking area 82 and the soaking liquid is sent to the soaking area 82 through the liquid sending module. The compressed towel block 1 contacts and absorbs the soaking liquid. The compressed towel block 1 is stored separately from the soaking liquid during the soaking process, which can avoid the compressed towel block 1 from contacting and absorbing the volatile soaking liquid during the soaking process. The present invention is not only simple and reasonable in structure and suitable for daily use, but also can ensure the immediacy of wet towel production and the use effect of the prepared wet towels.

[0053] Compared with ordinary wipes, the present invention adopts compressed wipes 1 to make wet wipes, which can enable the device to accommodate more wipes in a smaller volume, thereby eliminating the need to frequently add wipes to the device, making it more convenient to use. The wet wipes made with the compressed wipes 1 have better elasticity and strength, and can ensure the use effect of the made wet wipes.

[0054] The material storage module is a material storage barrel 5, which is inserted into the chassis 2 in a detachable manner. The material storage barrel 5 is formed with a storage cavity 51 for storing the compressed towel block 1, and a discharge port 53 is provided at the bottom of the material storage barrel 5, and the discharge port 53 is communicated with the material storage cavity 51, and a stopper is provided at the discharge port 53; when the stopper is not pushed open, the stopper presses upward against the compressed towel block 1; when the stopper is pushed open, the stopper stops pressing upward against the compressed towel block 1, and the compressed towel block 1 falls out from the discharge port 53; a push-up member 6 for pushing open the stopper so that the compressed towel block 1 in the storage cavity 51 falls out is provided in the chassis 2; the material storage barrel 5 with no compressed towel block 1 remaining is taken out, and the material storage barrel 5 with the compressed towel block 1 inside is inserted downward into the wet wipes making device, and the stopper is pushed open. Part 6 pushes open the blocking part at the discharge port 53, and the compressed towel block 1 in the storage chamber 51 falls downward from the storage chamber 51 due to gravity, completing the replenishment of the compressed towel block 1; the storage module of the present invention is a storage barrel 5, and the storage barrel 5 is detachably inserted in the chassis 2, and the storage barrel 5 is plug-and-play. When replenishing the compressed towel block 1, it is only necessary to take out the storage barrel 5 that originally has no compressed towel block 1 remaining and insert the storage barrel 5 with the compressed towel block 1 into the wet wipes making device to replenish the compressed towel block 1. The whole process is very simple and convenient. The compressed towel block 1 can be replenished without touching the replenished compressed towel block 1 with hands, so it is not easy to cause pollution to the replenished compressed towel block 1, and the prepared wet wipes can be made cleaner and more hygienic.

[0055] The bottom of the outer side surface of the storage barrel 5 is concavely formed with a tightening portion 52 for guiding the compressed towel block 1 to fall out. The tightening portion 52 can adjust and guide the compressed towel block 1 falling downward, so that the compressed towel block 1 can fall flatly and orderly, thereby facilitating the subsequent conveyance of the compressed towel block 1 by the wet wipes making device.

[0056] The blocking member is a barrel cover 54 with a stop claw 55, and the barrel cover 54 is sleeved on the bottom of the barrel; when the stop claw 55 is not pushed open, the top of the stop claw 55 protrudes in the discharge port 53 and presses upward against the compressed towel block 1; when the stop claw 55 is pushed open, the top of the stop claw 55 stops pressing upward against the compressed towel block 1, and the stop claw 55 is made of elastic material; when the storage barrel 5 is inserted into the wet wipes making device, the opening member 6 in the wet wipes making device pushes upward the stop claw 55 protruding in the discharge port 53, and the stop claw 55 is pushed open to the edge of the discharge port 53, and the stop claw 55 stops pressing upward against the compressed towel block 1, and the compressed towel block 1 falls out from the discharge port 53.

[0057] The storage barrel 5 is a cylindrical structure, which is not only beautiful but also easy to load and take out; the storage barrel 5 is made of transparent material, which is convenient for observing the remaining compressed towel blocks 1, so that the compressed towel blocks 1 can be replenished in time to prevent the situation where there are no compressed towel blocks 1 to be used, and it is highly practical.

[0058] The liquid delivery module includes a liquid pump 7, a liquid inlet pipe 71, and a liquid outlet pipe 72. One end of the liquid inlet pipe 71 is connected to the liquid storage module, the other end of the liquid inlet pipe 71 is connected to the input end of the liquid pump 7, one end of the liquid outlet pipe 72 is connected to the output end of the liquid pump 7, and the other end of the liquid outlet pipe 72 is connected to the soaking area 82. The liquid pump 7 is electrically connected to the control module 3; the liquid delivery module includes a liquid output amount regulating module 73 for controlling the amount of soaking liquid delivered to the soaking area 82, and the liquid output amount regulating module 73 is electrically connected to the control module 3; by controlling the liquid pumping time of the liquid pump 7, the liquid pumping amount of the liquid pump 7 can be controlled, and a quantitative soaking liquid can be delivered to the soaking area 82 by the liquid pump 7, so that the compressed towel block 1 can be quantitatively soaked, and the use effect of the prepared wet towel can be guaranteed. The amount of soaking liquid delivered to the soaking area 82 can be adjusted by the liquid output amount regulating module 73, so that wet towels with different humidity levels can be produced according to specific usage conditions, and the use range is wider and more practical.

[0059] The towel discharging mechanism includes a towel feeding tray 8 slidably connected to the chassis 2 in the horizontal direction, and a power mechanism 81 for driving the towel feeding tray 8 to slide, the power mechanism 81 drives the towel feeding tray 8, and the power mechanism 81 is electrically connected to the control module 3; the soaking area 82 is a soaking tank recessed on the towel feeding tray 8, and the soaking tank is slidably connected to an anti-soaking support plate 83 in the vertical direction, and the anti-soaking support plate 83 upwardly supports the compressed towel block 1 to be soaked in the storage module, and the top of the side wall of the soaking tank is higher than the bottom of the side of the compressed towel block 1 to be soaked located at the bottom of the anti-soaking support plate 83; when the compressed towel block 1 is not delivered, the anti-soaking support plate 83 is convexly arranged on the bottom wall of the soaking tank, and the compressed towel block 1 does not contact the bottom wall of the soaking tank; when the compressed towel block When delivering the towel, the anti-soaking support plate 83 is recessed in the bottom wall of the soaking tank or flush with the bottom wall of the soaking tank, and the compressed towel block 1 contacts the bottom wall of the soaking tank; a slide rail 84 is provided at the bottom of the towel feeding tray 8, and a stepped hole 85 is opened in the vertical direction of the towel feeding tray 8. The small hole of the stepped hole 85 is located at the top of the large hole of the stepped hole 85, and the small hole of the stepped hole 85 is connected to the soaking tank. A sliding rod 86 is inserted into the small hole of the stepped hole 85. The top of the sliding rod 86 is vertically upward and connected to the anti-soaking support plate 83, and the bottom of the sliding rod 86 is vertically downward and contacts the sliding rail 84. A guide portion 87 is formed on one side of the sliding rail 84 in the towel feeding direction; a sliding sleeve 88 is sleeved at the bottom of the sliding rod 86, and the bottom of the sliding rod 86 passes through the sliding sleeve 88 The bottom of the slide bar 86 can contact the slide rail 84 more smoothly through the sliding sleeve 88, so that the slide bar 86 can be lifted and lowered in the stepped hole 85 more smoothly; the slide bar 86 is provided with a compression spring 89, one end of the compression spring 89 vertically presses against the top wall of the large hole of the stepped hole 85, and the other end of the compression spring 89 vertically presses against the top of the sliding sleeve 88; as the towel feeding tray 8 slides outward, the slide bar 86 gradually moves outward, and when the slide bar 86 moves to the guide portion 87 of the slide rail 84, the slide bar 86 gradually moves downward and drives the anti-soaking support plate 83 downward, compressing the towel block 1 and contacting the bottom wall of the soaking groove; as the towel feeding tray 8 slides back inward, the slide bar 86 gradually moves inward, and when the slide bar 86 moves from the slide rail 84, the anti-soaking support plate 83 is pressed downward, and the towel block 1 is pressed against the bottom wall of the soaking groove. When the guide portion 87 of the rail 84 slides back, the slide bar 86 gradually moves upward and drives the anti-soaking support plate 83 upward; since the compressed towel block 1 cannot absorb the soaking liquid 100%, there will inevitably be residual soaking liquid in the soaking tank after completing the production of a wet towel. The soaking tank of the towel discharging mechanism of the present invention is slidably connected with the anti-soaking support plate 83 in the vertical direction. The anti-soaking support plate 83 supports the compressed towel block 1 to be soaked upward. By lifting and lowering the anti-soaking support plate 83, it is possible to control whether the compressed towel block 1 is in contact with the bottom wall of the soaking tank, so that the compressed towel block 1 will not be in contact with the soaking liquid and will not absorb the soaking liquid during the soaking process, thereby ensuring the immediacy of the wet towel production and thus ensuring the use effect of the prepared wet towel.

[0061] By changing the position of the guide portion 87 in the slide rail 84, the compressed towel block 1 can be brought into contact with the bottom wall of the soaking tank before the entire towel delivery tray 8 slides out of the chassis 2, that is, the compressed towel block 1 is delivered out of the chassis 2 after it is soaked; the compressed towel block 1 can be brought into contact with the bottom wall of the soaking tank before the entire towel delivery tray 8 partially slides out of the chassis 2, that is, the compressed towel block 1 is delivered out of the chassis 2 while being soaked; the compressed towel block 1 can be brought into contact with the bottom wall of the soaking tank only after the entire towel delivery tray 8 slides out of the chassis 2, that is, the compressed towel block 1 is soaked only after it is delivered out of the chassis 2.

[0062] The present invention further comprises a towel dispensing module 9 for controlling the dispensing of towels, and a detection module 10 for detecting whether there is a compressed towel block 1 in the soaking area 82. The towel dispensing module 9 and the detection module 10 are electrically connected to the control module 3 respectively.

[0063] A heating module 11 for heating the soaking liquid, a refrigeration module 12 for cooling the soaking liquid, a disinfection module 13 for disinfecting the soaking liquid, and a temperature sensor 14 for detecting the temperature of the soaking liquid are provided in the chassis 2. The heating module 11, the refrigeration module 12, the disinfection module 13, and the temperature sensor 14 are electrically connected to the control module 3 respectively; the temperature of the prepared wet wipes can be adjusted by the heating module 11, the refrigeration module 12, and the temperature sensor 14, so that wet wipes of the required temperature can be prepared according to the actual use of the individual, which is more practical; the disinfection module in this embodiment is an electrolytic electrode, and an electrolyte with a disinfection function can be prepared by turning the electrolytic electrode on and off. The soaking liquid is disinfected by the disinfection module 13, so that the prepared wet wipes can be safer and more hygienic.

[0064] The compressed towel block 1 is adsorbed with functional additives, which are one or more of fragrances, whitening agents, bactericides and disinfectants, and mosquito repellents; before the compressed towel block 1 is compressed, one or more of the functional additives are added to the compressed towel block 1, and then the compressed towel block 1 is compressed and formed; the functional additives take effect only after the compressed towel block 1 is soaked, heated or cooled; compared with the existing functional wet wipes, the efficacy of the wet wipes will quickly decay with the storage date. The functional additives are added to the compressed towel block 1 in advance, and when the wet wipes are needed, the compressed towel block 1 is soaked to achieve the effect of immediate use, which can maximize the efficacy of the functional additives in the wet wipes, thereby achieving the best use effect of the wet wipes.

[0065] The compressed wipe block 1 is printed with text and / or patterns, and text and / or patterns can be added to the wet wipes according to actual usage conditions, which can bring people a pleasant usage experience; the text and / or pattern are printed on the compressed wipe block 1 before compression. In addition to ordinary ink, the printing ink can also be temperature-sensitive ink or moisture-sensitive ink, which will only be displayed after heating, cooling or humidification, which can bring people a sense of surprise.

[0066] A method for making instant wet wipes comprises the following steps:

[0067] A. Making compressed towel blocks 1. Soak in liquid;

[0068] B. Pre-separate and store compressed towel blocks 1. Soak in liquid;

[0069] C. When a signal for making wet wipes is received, the compressed wipe block 1 is immediately sent into the soaking area 82 and the soaking liquid is sent into the soaking area 82;

[0070] D. The compressed towel block 1 contacts and absorbs the soaking liquid to form a wet towel.

[0071] The compressed towel block 1 is stored in the material storage module, and the soaking liquid is stored in the liquid storage module, and the compressed towel block 1 and the soaking liquid are stored separately;

[0072] By controlling the amount of liquid pumped by the liquid pump 7, the amount of soaking liquid delivered to the soaking area 82 each time can be a certain amount, so that the compressed towel block can be soaked quantitatively and the use effect of the prepared wet towel can be guaranteed.

[0073] The quantitative size can be adjusted. The amount of soaking liquid sent to the soaking area 82 can be adjusted through the liquid output adjustment module 73, so that wet wipes with different humidity levels can be produced according to specific usage conditions, with a wider range of use and greater practicality.

[0074] In the step C, the wetting liquid is heated or cooled, and the temperature of the prepared wet wipes can be adjusted by the heating module 11 and the cooling module 12, so that wet wipes of the required temperature can be prepared according to the actual individual usage, which is more practical; by changing the installation position of the heating module 11 and the cooling module 12, the wetting liquid can be heated or cooled before being sent into the wetting area 82, or the wetting liquid can be heated or cooled after being sent into the wetting area 82, or the wetting liquid can be heated or cooled while being sent into the wetting area 82.

[0075] In the step C, the soaking liquid is disinfected. The soaking liquid is disinfected by the disinfection module 13, which can make the prepared wet wipes safer and more hygienic; by changing the installation position of the disinfection module 13, the soaking liquid can be disinfected before it is sent into the soaking area 82, or it can be disinfected after it is sent into the soaking area 82, or it can be disinfected while sending the soaking liquid into the soaking area 82.

[0076] In step A, when making the compressed towel block 1, a functional additive is added to the compressed towel block 1, and the functional additive is one or more of a fragrance, a whitening agent, a bactericidal disinfectant, and a mosquito repellent; before the compressed towel block 1 is compressed, one or more of the functional additives such as a fragrance, a whitening agent, a bactericidal disinfectant, and a mosquito repellent are added to the compressed towel block 1, and then the compressed towel block 1 is compressed and formed; the functional additive takes effect only after the compressed towel block 1 is soaked, heated or cooled; compared with the existing functional wet wipes, the efficacy of the wet wipes will quickly decay with the storage date. The functional additive is added to the compressed towel block 1 in advance, and when the wet wipes are needed, the compressed towel block 1 is soaked to achieve the effect of immediate use, which can maximize the efficacy of the functional additives in the wet wipes, thereby achieving the best use effect of the wet wipes.

[0077] In step A, when making the compressed towel block 1, text and / or patterns are printed on the compressed towel block 1. Text and / or patterns can be added to the wet wipes according to actual usage conditions, which can bring people a pleasant usage experience; text and / or patterns are printed on the compressed towel block 1 before compression. In addition to ordinary ink, the printing ink can also be temperature-sensitive ink or moisture-sensitive ink, which will only be displayed after heating, cooling or humidification, which can bring people a sense of surprise.

[0078] Since the compressed towel block will expand after absorbing moisture, the compressed towel block will inevitably absorb the surrounding liquid vapor and expand a small amount during the soaking process even if it does not directly contact the soaking liquid. The edges of the compressed towel block are more likely to absorb moisture and expand. After absorbing moisture and expanding, the edges of the compressed towel block are easily stuck at the discharge port, which may cause the compressed towel block to fall unsmoothly, thereby affecting the subsequent production of wet wipes. In the step A, when making the compressed towel block 1, a greater compression amount is applied to the edges of the compressed towel block 1. For example, when the compressed towel block 1 is formed, the compressed towel block 1 is pressed. It can be very convenient to form a suppression part 15 around the edges of the compressed towel block 1 that is denser than the compressed towel block 1 and can be used to slow down the moisture absorption and expansion speed of the edges of the compressed towel block 1. The suppression part 15 can slow down the moisture absorption and expansion speed of the edges of the compressed towel block 1, so that the edges of the compressed towel block 1 are not easy to absorb moisture and expand during the soaking process, which can ensure that the compressed towel block 1 falls smoothly and the wet wipes production can proceed smoothly.

[0079] Since it takes a certain amount of time for the compressed towel block 1 to absorb the soaking liquid, if the soaking liquid is delivered to the soaking area 82 too quickly, the compressed towel block 1 will not have enough time to absorb the soaking liquid, and the soaking liquid will overflow from the soaking area 82 due to excessive accumulation. Therefore, in the step C, the speed of delivering the soaking liquid into the soaking area 82 is controlled to be less than or equal to the speed at which the compressed towel block 1 absorbs the soaking liquid, so that the compressed towel block 1 can fully absorb the soaking liquid and prevent the soaking liquid from accumulating too much and overflowing from the soaking area 82; the speed of delivering the soaking liquid into the soaking area 82 is controlled to be less than or equal to the speed at which the compressed towel block 1 absorbs the soaking liquid, which can be achieved in the following two ways: First, the soaking liquid is continuously pumped by the liquid pump 7, and the speed at which the liquid pump 7 continuously pumps the soaking liquid is controlled to be less than or equal to the speed at which the compressed towel block 1 contacts and absorbs the soaking liquid; second, the soaking liquid delivered to the soaking area 82 is delivered intermittently by the liquid pump 7 in several times.

[0080] In the step C, the order of sending the compressed towel block 1 into the soaking area 82 and sending the soaking liquid into the soaking area 82 is one of the following: first sending the compressed towel block 1 into the soaking area 82 and then sending the soaking liquid into the soaking area 82, first sending the soaking liquid into the soaking area 82 and then sending the compressed towel block 1 into the soaking area 82, or sending the compressed towel block 1 and the soaking liquid into the soaking area 82 at the same time.

[0081] The present invention can deliver the soaked compressed towel block 1 after the compressed towel block 1 is completely soaked, or can soak and deliver the compressed towel block 1 at the same time, or can soak the compressed towel block 1 after the compressed towel block 1 is delivered.

[0082] like Figure 8 As shown, the positional relationship between the compressed towel block 1, the soaking area 82 and the chassis 2 can be: the compressed towel block 1 is located outside the chassis 2, and the soaking area 82 is located outside the chassis 2;

[0083] like Fig. 9 As shown, the positional relationship between the compressed towel block 1, the soaking area 82 and the chassis 2 can be: the compressed towel block 1 is located in the chassis 2, the soaking area 82 is located in the chassis 2, and the towel delivery mechanism delivers the compressed towel block 1 and the soaking area 82 to the outside of the chassis 2;

[0084] like Fig.10 As shown, the positional relationship between the compressed towel block 1, the soaking area 82 and the chassis 2 can be: the compressed towel block 1 is located inside the chassis 2, the soaking area 82 is located outside the chassis 2, and the towel delivery mechanism delivers the compressed towel block 1 to the soaking area 82 outside the chassis 2;

[0085] like Fig.11 As shown, the positional relationship between the compressed towel block 1, the soaking area 82 and the chassis 2 can be: the compressed towel block 1 is located in the chassis 2, the soaking area 82 is located on the top of the chassis 2, and the towel delivery mechanism delivers the compressed towel block 1 to the soaking area 82;

[0086] like Fig.12 As shown, the positional relationship between the compressed towel block 1 , the soaking area 82 and the chassis 2 can be: the compressed towel block 1 is located outside the chassis 2 , and the soaking area 82 is located on the top of the chassis 2 .

[0087] Embodiment 2, as Fig.13As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the instant wet wipes making device of this embodiment does not have a towel discharging mechanism, and the material storage module may not be arranged on the chassis 2. The material storage module is any item that can be used to store the compressed towel block 1, such as a packaging bag, a packaging box, etc. for storing the compressed towel block 1. The compressed towel block 1 is arranged outside the chassis 2, and the soaking area 82 is located outside the chassis 2; the compressed towel block 1 to be soaked is placed in the soaking area 82, and the soaking liquid in the liquid storage module is transported to the soaking area 82 through the liquid delivery module. After the compressed towel block 1 is soaked, the soaked compressed towel block 1 can be directly taken out from the soaking area 82 without the need for a towel discharging mechanism. The rest is the same as embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0088] Working principle:

[0089] The compressed towel block 1 and the soaking liquid are stored separately in the device; the sensing area of ​​the towel discharging module 9 is touched, and the power mechanism 81 drives the towel feeding tray 8 to slide outward; as the towel feeding tray 8 slides outward, the side wall of the soaking tank pushes the side of the compressed towel block 1 at the bottom outward, and the slide bar 86 gradually moves outward. When the slide bar 86 moves to the guide part 87 of the slide rail 84, the slide bar 86 gradually moves downward and drives the anti-soaking support plate 83 downward, and the compressed towel block 1 at the bottom contacts the bottom wall of the soaking tank; the liquid pump 7 transports the soaking liquid of the liquid storage module to the soaking tank, and the compressed towel block 1 contacts and absorbs the soaking liquid to form a wet towel; after the soaked wet towel is taken away, the power mechanism 81 drives the towel feeding tray 8 to slide back inward; as the towel feeding tray 8 slides back inward, the slide bar 86 gradually moves inward, and when the slide bar 86 moves from the guide part 87 of the slide rail 84 When the part 87 slides back, the sliding rod 86 gradually moves upward and drives the anti-soaking support plate 83 upward, and the compressed towel block 1 originally located at the second to last bottom on the anti-soaking support plate 83 falls to the bottommost part on the anti-soaking support plate 83, completing the whole process of making an instant wet towel; the compressed towel block 1 of the present invention is stored separately from the soaking liquid, and when wet towels need to be made, the compressed towel block 1 is sent into the soaking area 82 and the soaking liquid is sent into the soaking area 82 through the liquid sending module, the compressed towel block 1 contacts and absorbs the soaking liquid, and the compressed towel block 1 is stored separately from the soaking liquid during the soaking process, which can prevent the compressed towel block 1 from contacting and absorbing the volatile soaking liquid during the soaking process. The present invention is not only simple and reasonable in structure, suitable for daily use, but also can ensure the immediacy of wet towel production and the use effect of the prepared wet towel.

[0090] Of course, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, so all equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, characteristics and principles described in the scope of the patent application of the present invention are included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
