Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of filter element production and processing equipment, and particularly relates to a filter element processing production line. Background Art
[0002] Air filters are mainly used to filter impurities in the air so that the air quality can meet corresponding standards, such as engine filters or air conditioner filters used in vehicles. The structure of an air filter includes corrugated filter paper for filtering air and bottom filter paper. The corrugated filter paper is stacked on the bottom filter paper and connected to the bottom filter paper. The gap between the corrugated filter paper and the bottom filter paper forms a filtering channel.
[0003] During the production process of air filters, generally two layers of filter paper need to be prepared. In a part of the first layer of filter paper, a corrugated area needs to be processed, and the rest is a flat area. Then the first layer of filter paper can be used as the corrugated filter paper, and the second layer of filter paper is used as the bottom filter paper. Then, the first layer of filter paper and the second layer of filter paper are connected by gluing or resistance welding to obtain a finished filter element. Since there are many processes involved in the production of air filters, the current production and processing efficiency is low and the quality is unstable, which cannot meet the requirements of mass production. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that there are many processes involved in the production of air filters in the prior art, resulting in low production and processing efficiency and unstable quality.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a filter element processing production line, including the following arranged in sequence:
[0006] An upper paper module, including a first feeding wheel for providing a first filter belt and a second feeding wheel for providing a second filter belt;
[0007] A corrugating module, including a toothed rolling wheel and a corrugating power member, the corrugating power member is used to drive the rotation of the toothed rolling wheel, and the toothed rolling wheel is used to roll the first filter belt provided by the first feeding wheel body into a corrugated shape;
[0008] A pre-traction module, including a traction wheel set and several pressure wheel sets, the traction wheel set is used to guide the second filter belt and the corrugated first filter belt to a superposed state, and the pressure wheel set is used to press the superposed first filter belt and second filter belt;
[0009] A welding module, used to weld the superposed first filter belt and second filter belt to obtain a finished filter belt;
[0010] A storage module, used to store the finished filter belt.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the above solution realizes the automatic feeding of the first filter belt and the second filter belt through the paper feeding module, realizes the rolling forming of the corrugated area of the first filter belt through the tile rolling module, realizes the automatic lamination of the first filter belt and the second filter belt through the pre-traction module, realizes the automatic welding of the first filter belt and the second filter belt through the welding module, and finally realizes the storage of the finished filter belt through the storage module, thereby realizing the fully automated production of the air filter element. This not only effectively improves the production efficiency, but also, since no human intervention is required, the quality of the produced products is stable, effectively reducing the processing cost.
[0012] Preferably, there are two toothed rolling wheels which are meshed with each other. The meshing area of the two toothed rolling wheels is used for rolling the first filter belt, so as to more effectively roll and form the corrugated area of the first filter belt.
[0013] Preferably, the pressing wheel group includes a pressing wheel and a supporting wheel. The pressing wheel is used to abut against the first filter belt, and the supporting wheel is used to abut against the second filter belt. The diameter of the pressing wheel is smaller than that of the supporting wheel. The pressing wheel with a smaller diameter can better fit the corrugated first filter belt, while the supporting wheel with a larger diameter can better support the second filter belt, ensuring that the first filter belt and the second filter belt can be pressed more stably.
[0014] Preferably, the traction wheel group includes two parallel guiding wheels which are opposite to each other on the side. A gap for the first filter belt and the second filter belt to pass through is left between the two guiding wheels, so as to realize the stable traction of the first filter belt and the second filter belt.
[0015] Preferably, the welding module includes a welding base, a welding edge component, and a welding pattern component. The welding edge component includes a first welding edge wheel and a second welding edge wheel both rotatably connected to the welding base, and a welding edge motor for driving the first welding edge wheel and the second welding edge wheel to rotate in opposite directions simultaneously. The first welding edge wheel is located on the side of the first filter belt, and the second welding edge wheel is located on the side of the second filter belt. The first welding edge wheel and the second welding edge wheel are used to weld the flat areas of the first filter belt and the second filter belt. The welding pattern component includes a welding pattern wheel and a conveying wheel both rotatably connected to the welding base, and a welding pattern motor for driving the welding pattern wheel to rotate. The welding pattern wheel is provided with teeth distributed circumferentially. The welding pattern wheel is located on the side of the first filter belt, and the conveying wheel is located on the side of the second filter belt. The welding pattern wheel and the conveying wheel are used to weld the corrugated areas of the first filter belt and the second filter belt. By energizing the first welding edge wheel or the second welding edge wheel, the flat area of the first filter plate can be welded to the second filter plate. And due to the driving effect of the welding edge motor on the first welding edge wheel and the second welding edge wheel, the workpiece can continuously move driven by the first welding edge wheel and the second welding edge wheel, realizing automatic conveying. At the same time, since the side of the welding pattern wheel is provided with teeth, driven by the welding pattern motor, the teeth can engage with the corrugated area of the first filter plate. When the welding pattern wheel is energized, the trough positions in the corrugated area of the first filter plate are welded to the second filter plate, finally realizing a firm connection between the first filter plate and the second filter plate.
[0016] Preferably, it further includes a rear traction module located between the welding module and the storage module. The structure of the rear traction module is the same as that of the pre-traction module, so that the welded finished filter belt can be trimmed by the rear traction module and then conveyed to the storage module.
[0017] Preferably, it further includes a slitting module located between the welding module and the storage module. The slitting module includes a cutting wheel located in the moving path of the finished filter belt. The cutting wheel is used to cut the finished filter belt, so that the finished filter belt can be cut or trimmed according to customer needs.
[0018] Preferably, the slitting module further includes a sliding member for driving the cutting wheel to slide along the width direction of the finished filter belt. Thus, the position of the cutting wheel can be adjusted by controlling the sliding member, and the adjustment is simple and convenient.
[0019] Preferably, the finished filter belt between the welding module and the storage module is transmitted horizontally. There is also a suspension roller module between the welding module and the storage module. The suspension roller module includes a suspension, a roller, and a sensor. The roller is slidably connected to the suspension vertically, and the roller abuts against the upper part of the finished filter belt. The sensor is installed on the suspension and used to detect the height of the roller. Considering that there may be a difference between the storage speed of the finished filter belt by the storage module and the welding speed of the welding module, the suspension roller module is provided to buffer the finished filter belt.
[0020] Preferably, the storage module includes a storage rack, a winding wheel, and a lifting hook. The winding wheel is rotatably connected to the lower part of the storage rack and is used for winding the finished filter belt. The lifting hook is installed on the upper part of the storage rack. The winding wheel can quickly store the finished filter belt, and the lifting hook realizes the transportation and replacement of the winding wheel, further improving the automation level.

[0031] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description will be given to the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-8 , a filter element processing production line provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes the following components arranged in sequence:
[0033] The upper paper module 1 includes a first feeding wheel 110 for providing a first filter belt and a second feeding wheel 120 for providing a second filter belt;
[0034] The tile rolling module 2 includes a toothed rolling wheel 220 and a tile rolling power component 210. The tile rolling power component 210 is preferably a motor and is used to drive the rotation of the toothed rolling wheel 220. The toothed rolling wheel 220 is used to roll the first filter belt provided by the first feeding wheel 110 into a corrugated shape;
[0035] The pre-traction module 3 includes a traction wheel set 310 and a pressure wheel set 320. The traction wheel set 310 is used to guide the second filter belt and the corrugated first filter belt into a superposed state, and the pressure wheel set 320 is used to press the superposed first filter belt and second filter belt;
[0036] The welding module 4 is used to weld the superposed first filter belt and second filter belt to obtain a finished filter belt;
[0037] The storage module 5 is used to store the finished filter belt.
[0038] The above solution realizes the automatic feeding of the first filter belt and the second filter belt through the paper feeding module 1, realizes the rolling forming of the corrugated area of the first filter belt through the corrugating module 2, realizes the automatic superposition of the first filter belt and the second filter belt through the pre-traction module 3, realizes the automatic welding of the first filter belt and the second filter belt through the welding module 4, and finally realizes the storage of the finished filter belt through the storage module 5, thereby realizing the full-automatic production of the air filter element. This not only effectively improves the production efficiency, but also, since no manual intervention is required, the quality of the produced products is stable, effectively reducing the processing cost.
[0039] In this embodiment, the first filter belt provided by the first feeding wheel 110 is located above the second filter belt provided by the second feeding wheel 120, and both the first filter belt and the second filter belt are conveyed horizontally. It should be understood that, according to needs, the first filter belt can also be on the left side or optimized of the second filter belt, or both the first filter belt and the second filter belt are conveyed vertically. This design does not make any limitations in this regard.
[0040] In this embodiment, there are two toothed rolling wheels 220 which are meshed with each other. The meshing area of the two toothed rolling wheels 220 is used to roll the first filter belt, so as to more effectively roll and form the corrugated area of the first filter belt. Further, the corrugating module 2 further includes two pairs of corrugating guide wheels 230 and two guide rolling motors 240. The toothed rolling wheels 220 are arranged between the corrugating guide wheels 230 and the pre-traction module 3. Each pair of corrugating guide wheels 230 is actively rotated by a guide rolling motor 240, and the two pairs of corrugating guide wheels 230 drive the first filter belt and the second filter belt respectively, so as to ensure that the first filter belt and the second filter belt can pass through the corrugating module 2 more stably.
[0041] In this embodiment, the pre-traction module 3 further includes a traction frame 330, and both the pressure wheel set 320 and the traction wheel set 310 are rotatably connected to the traction frame 330. Of course, it should be understood that in other embodiments, the pressure wheel set 320 and the traction wheel set 310 can also be directly rotatably connected to the ground. The pressure wheel set 320 includes a pressing wheel 321 and a supporting wheel 322. The pressing wheel 321 is used to abut against the first filter belt, and the supporting wheel 322 is used to abut against the second filter belt. The diameter of the pressing wheel 321 is smaller than that of the supporting wheel 322. The pressing wheel 321 with a smaller diameter can better fit the corrugated first filter belt, while the supporting wheel 322 with a larger diameter can better support the second filter belt, ensuring that the first filter belt and the second filter belt can be pressed more stably. Further, a plurality of vertical grooves 331 distributed transversely are provided on the traction frame 330. The vertical grooves 331 are arc-shaped, and each vertical groove 331 corresponds to a pressing wheel 321. The axle of the pressing wheel 321 is slidably connected to the vertical groove 331. Thus, during the conveying process of the first filter belt, the pressing wheel 321 will maintain a good fitting state with the first filter belt due to gravity, preventing the pressing wheel 321 from breaking the first filter belt.
[0042] The traction wheel set 310 includes two guiding wheels 311 arranged in parallel and facing each other on the side. A gap for the first filter belt and the second filter belt to pass through is left between the two guiding wheels 311, thereby realizing the stable traction of the first filter belt and the second filter belt. Further, there are two traction wheel sets 310, which are respectively located on both sides of the pressure wheel set 320, thereby achieving a better traction effect on the first filter belt and the second filter belt.
[0043] In this embodiment, the welding module 4 includes a welding base, a welding edge component 420, and a welding pattern component 430. The welding edge component 420 includes a first welding edge wheel 421 and a second welding edge wheel 422 that are both rotatably connected to the welding base, and a welding edge motor 423 for driving the first welding edge wheel 421 and the second welding edge wheel 422 to rotate in opposite directions simultaneously. The first welding edge wheel 421 is located on the side of the first filter belt, and the second welding edge wheel 422 is located on the side of the second filter belt. The first welding edge wheel 421 and the second welding edge wheel 422 are used to weld the flat areas of the first filter belt and the second filter belt. The welding pattern component 430 includes a welding pattern wheel 431 and a conveying wheel 432 that are both rotatably connected to the welding base, and a welding pattern motor 433 for driving the welding pattern wheel 431 to rotate. The welding pattern wheel 431 is provided with teeth distributed along the circumferential direction. The welding pattern wheel 431 is located on the side of the first filter belt, and the conveying wheel 432 is located on the side of the second filter belt. The welding pattern wheel 431 and the conveying wheel 432 are used to weld the corrugated areas of the first filter belt and the second filter belt. By energizing the first welding edge wheel 421 or the second welding edge wheel 422, the flat area of the first filter plate can be welded to the second filter plate. Due to the driving effect of the welding edge motor 423 on the first welding edge wheel 421 and the second welding edge wheel 422, the workpiece can continuously move under the drive of the first welding edge wheel 421 and the second welding edge wheel 422, realizing automatic conveying. At the same time, since the side of the welding pattern wheel 431 is provided with teeth, under the drive of the welding pattern motor 433, the teeth can engage with the corrugated area of the first filter plate. When the welding pattern wheel 431 is energized, the trough position of the corrugated area of the first filter plate is welded to the second filter plate, finally realizing a firm connection between the first filter plate and the second filter plate.
[0044] Furthermore, a first slide rail 440 and a second slide rail 450 are respectively provided at the front and rear sides of the welding base, which are arranged in parallel horizontally. Two first sliding platforms 441 are slidably connected to the first slide rail 440, and two second sliding platforms 451 are slidably connected to the second slide rail 450. Each first sliding platform 441 is provided with a welding edge component 420, and each second sliding platform 451 is provided with a welding pattern component 430. A first lead screw 442 is provided parallel to the side of the first slide rail 440, and a second lead screw 452 is provided parallel to the side of the second sliding platform 451. The two first sliding platforms 441 are reversely screwed to the first lead screw 442, and the two second sliding platforms 451 are reversely screwed to the second lead screw 452. Thus, by rotating the first lead screw 442, the distance between the two welding edge components 420 can be adjusted, and by rotating the second lead screw 452, the distance between the two welding pattern components 430 can be adjusted. The adjustment is simple and convenient, and the versatility is good.
[0045] As an extension of the above embodiments, it further includes a post-traction module 6 located between the welding module 4 and the storage module 5. The structure of the post-traction module 6 is the same as that of the pre-traction module 3, that is, the post-traction module 6 also includes a traction frame 330, a pressure wheel group 320 and a traction wheel group 310, so that the welded finished filter belt can be trimmed by the post-traction module 6 and then conveyed to the storage module 5.
[0046] As an extension of the above embodiments, it further includes a slitting module 7 located between the welding module 4 and the storage module 5. The slitting module 7 includes a cutting wheel 710 located in the moving path of the finished filter belt. The cutting wheel 710 can be fixed or driven by a slitting motor (not shown in the figure) to rotate actively. The cutting wheel 710 is used to cut the finished filter belt, so that the finished filter belt can be cut or trimmed according to customer needs. Further, the slitting module 7 further includes a sliding member 720. The sliding member 720 is preferably a screw motor pair and a nut table that cooperate with each other. The screw motor pair is arranged along the width direction of the finished filter belt, and the cutting wheel 710 is connected to the nut table. Thus, when the screw rotates, the cutting wheel 710 can slide along the width direction of the finished filter belt along with the nut table, so that the position of the cutting wheel 710 can be adjusted by controlling the sliding member 720, and the adjustment is simple and convenient. Of course, the sliding member 720 can also be a cylinder or a similar device arranged along the width direction of the finished filter belt, and the present design is not limited.
[0047] As an extension of the above embodiments, a suspension roller module 8 is further provided between the welding module 4 and the storage module 5. The suspension roller module 8 includes a suspension 810, roller wheels 820 and a sensor 830. There are three roller wheels 820, and they are all slidably connected to the suspension 810 in the vertical direction, and the roller wheels 820 are all abutted against the upper part of the finished filter belt. The sensor 830 is preferably a photoelectric type, and the sensor 830 is installed on the suspension 810 and used to detect the height of the roller wheels 820. Considering that there may be a difference between the storage speed of the finished filter belt by the storage module 5 and the welding speed of the welding module 4, the suspension roller module 8 is provided to play a buffering role for the finished filter belt.
[0048] In this embodiment, the storage module 5 includes a storage frame 510, a winding wheel 520 and a lifting hook 530. The winding wheel 520 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the storage frame 510 and is driven by a winding motor 521 to rotate actively. The winding wheel 520 is used for the finished filter belt to be wound around. The lifting hook 530 is installed on the upper part of the storage frame 510 and is driven by a lifting motor 531 to lift automatically. The winding wheel 520 can realize the rapid storage of the finished filter belt, and the lifting hook 530 realizes the transportation and replacement of the winding wheel 520, further improving the automation level.
