Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cork production technology, and in particular to a cork chip assembly and forming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Cork leather is one of the most widely used and diverse types of vegan leather. Natural cork fabric, also known as cork leather, is made directly from the bark of the cork oak tree. The bark of the cork oak tree is renewable, and its harvesting does not affect the tree's growth. Cork leather better replicates the feel and visual characteristics of animal skin or vinyl synthetic leather, and it boasts advantages such as sustainability, washability, stain resistance, durability, antibacterial properties, hypoallergenicity, high plasticity, versatility, recyclability, and environmental safety. Furthermore, its flexibility and lightweight nature make it easy to cut. Moreover, cork leather is available in a variety of textures and colors to suit different design styles. This has led to its increasing popularity and use by brands in fashion jewelry and apparel, as well as in the automotive and construction industries.

[0003] Cork leather is typically shipped in the form of cork cylinders, which are then rotary-cut into various leather goods according to actual needs. In current technology, the forming of cork cylinders mostly relies on manual extrusion of cork granules and elastic adhesive into sheets in molds, followed by extrusion of the sheets into rolls in other molds, and finally shaping the rolls into cork cylinders, which is extremely inefficient.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cork sheet forming equipment that can automatically roll cork sheets into cork cylinders. Summary of the Invention

The third drive wheel is mounted on the sliding seat and can slide back and forth along the slide rail so that the pressure belt can automatically retract. The winding assembly continuously winds the material, and the pressure belt wound on the winding assembly is always in close contact with the cork roll.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting structure also includes a positioning component, which includes a positioning hydraulic cylinder mounted on the frame and whose output end is connected to a sliding seat. The positioning hydraulic cylinder can position the sliding seat on the slide rail so that the pressure belt can continuously squeeze the pressure belt. The action of the positioning hydraulic cylinder can drive the sliding seat and its third transmission wheel to slide along the slide rail so that the pressure belt can automatically retract.

[0012] Preferably, the pressing device further includes a clamping mechanism. Multiple clamping mechanisms are arranged on the outer periphery of the forming device. The clamping mechanism includes a pressing hydraulic cylinder and a pressing component. The pressing hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the frame, and the pressing component is mounted on the output end of the pressing hydraulic cylinder. The pressing hydraulic cylinder is actuated so that the pressing component can extend between the first forming component and the second forming component and roll on the pressing belt on the outer periphery of the roll component to enhance the compression of the cork roll by the pressing belt.

[0013] Preferably, the first molding component is fixed on the frame, and the second molding component is rotatably mounted on the frame, the second molding component rotating to move closer to or further away from the first molding component.

After a second forming assembly is locked to the frame, the other end of the shaft passes through the second forming assembly and is rotatably mounted on the frame. A pressing device acts on the core to make the core act on the shaft, and causes the shaft to drive the core to rotate and roll the material on the frame.

[0015] Preferably, a heating component is provided in the first forming component and / or the second forming component; the cork strips are pre-coated with adhesive before feeding, or the cork strips are coated with adhesive in the feeding device; the heating component melts the adhesive on the cork strips so that the cork strips can be rolled up and bonded into cork rolls.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the cork chip rolling forming equipment of the present invention is used to roll cork chips into rolls for subsequent processing. The cork chip rolling forming equipment includes a frame and a feeding device, a forming device, and a pressing device mounted on the frame. The feeding device is located on one side of the frame and is used to feed cork chips to the forming device. In some cases, the feeding device may also be equipped with an adhesive applicator to apply adhesive to the cork chips.

Simultaneously, the roll assembly rotates under the pressure of the pressure belt to roll the cork. A clamping mechanism is mounted on the frame and located on the outer periphery of the forming device. The clamping mechanism acts on the pressure belt on the outer periphery of the roll assembly to strengthen the pressure of the pressure belt on the cork roll. The cork sheet round forming equipment of this invention winds up cork sheets through the forming device. Heating components are provided in both the first and second forming components to heat-melt the adhesive on the cork sheets, thereby bonding the cork sheets into rolls. A pressure belt is provided on the outer periphery of the shaft assembly. Driven by a third drive wheel, the pressure belt can automatically wind up to accommodate cork rolls with continuously increasing outer diameters. Simultaneously, the pressure of the pressure belt on the cork roll automatically drives the roll assembly to rotate, enabling automatic winding. A clamping mechanism is also provided on the outer periphery of the pressure belt. The clamping mechanism acts on the pressure belt to better wrap the cork roll and make the cork roll more firmly bonded. Previously, assembling cork sheets into cylinders required more than ten cutting and assembly processes, which wasted valuable cork material and consumed a significant amount of manpower. Using the cork sheet assembly and forming equipment of this invention, cork sheets can be formed into cork cylinders in one step, saving 50% of cork material and increasing efficiency tenfold compared to traditional methods. This cork sheet assembly and forming equipment of the present invention has a simple structure and novel design, automatically rolling cork sheets into cork rolls, greatly reducing manual labor and improving production efficiency.

[0035] To illustrate the technical content and structural features of the present invention in detail, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4This invention provides a cork chip forming apparatus 100 for winding cork chips into rolls. The cork chip forming apparatus 100 includes a frame 101 and a feeding device 10, a forming device 20, and a pressing device 30 disposed on the frame 101. The feeding device 10 is located on one side of the frame 101 and is used to feed adhesive-coated cork chip strips to the forming device 20. The cork chip strips can be coated with adhesive on the feeding device 10 or pre-coated on other devices before being conveyed to the forming device 20 via the feeding device 10. The forming device 20 includes a first forming component 21, a second forming component 22, and a winding component 23. The winding component 23 is rotatably disposed between the first forming component 21 and the second forming component 22, and is used to wind the cork chip strips. On the other hand, the pressing device 30 includes a drive mechanism 31, a pressing mechanism 33, a mounting structure 32, and a pressing belt 34. A pressure belt 34 is mounted on the mounting structure 32 and wraps around the outer periphery of the roll assembly 23. A drive mechanism 31 is connected to the mounting structure 32, and its operation causes the mounting structure 32 to move, thereby causing the pressure belt 34 to circulate on the mounting structure 32. This drives the pressure belt 34 to rotate around the cork roll on the roll assembly 23 and compress the cork roll. The roll assembly 23 rotates under the compression of the pressure belt 34 to roll the cork. The pressure belt 34 not only serves to secure the adhesion between cork strips but also drives the roll assembly 23 to rotate for continuous rolling. A clamping mechanism 33 is mounted on the frame 101 and located on the outer periphery of the forming device 20. The clamping mechanism 33 operates to act on the pressure belt 34 on the outer periphery of the roll assembly 23 to enhance the compression of the cork roll by the pressure belt 34. The cork chip forming equipment 100 of the present invention uses a drive mechanism 31 to drive a pressure belt 34 to circulate and compress the cork roll during the rolling process, making the cork roll structure more stable. Simultaneously, the conveying of the pressure belt 34 also compresses and drives the roll assembly 23 to rotate, enabling continuous rolling. The rotation of the roll assembly 23 does not require a separate drive structure; the overall design is reasonable, and the roll compression effect is good.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 8 and Figure 9In some optional embodiments, the mounting structure 32 includes a first drive wheel 321, a second drive wheel 322, a third drive wheel 323, and multiple sets of guide assemblies 324. The first drive wheel 321 and the second drive wheel 322 are mounted on the frame 101 on the side near the feeding device 10, and the third drive wheel 323 is located on the side of the frame 101 away from the feeding device 10, and the third drive wheel 323 is slidably mounted on the frame 101. The first drive wheel 321 and the second drive wheel 322 are located at the output end of the drive mechanism 31. The drive mechanism 31 actuates to simultaneously drive the first drive wheel 321 and the second drive wheel 322 to rotate. In this embodiment, a pressure belt 34 bypasses the forming device 20, with one end located on the first drive wheel 321 and the other end located on the second drive wheel 322. The pressure belt 34 covers most of the area of ​​the roll assembly 23, forming a feeding space for the feeding device 10 to feed only between the first drive wheel 321 and the second drive wheel 322. The first drive wheel 321 and the second drive wheel 322 rotate simultaneously, which can better drive the pressing belt 34 on the forming device 20 to convey and press the material. The guide assembly 324 is installed in multiple locations on the frame 101 to guide the conveying of the pressing belt 34. The guide assembly 324 includes a guide wheel 3241 and fixed seats 3242 disposed at both ends of the guide wheel 3241. The guide wheel 3241 is rotatably mounted on the frame 101 through the fixed seats 3242. Limiting portions 3243 are provided at both ends of the guide wheel 3241, and the pressing belt 34 is conveyed between the two limiting portions 3243. Limiting portions 3243 can also be provided at both ends of the first drive wheel 321, the second drive wheel 322, and the third drive wheel 323 used to convey the pressing belt 34, so that the pressing belt 34 can be conveyed more stably on the mounting structure 32. The first drive wheel 321, the second drive wheel 322, and the third drive wheel 323 are rotatably mounted on the frame 101 via mounting seats 3211 on both sides. On the other hand, since the third drive wheel 323 is slidably mounted on the frame 101, the pressure belt 34 wrapped around the third drive wheel 323 can automatically retract to cooperate with cork rolls of different outer diameters, so that the pressure belt 34 can better press the rolls on the roll assembly 23.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 8In some optional embodiments, the pressure belt 34 has a loop structure so that it can be circulated and conveyed on the mounting structure 32. The pressure belt 34 sequentially passes around the first drive wheel 321, the third drive wheel 323, the guide assembly 324, the second drive wheel 322, and the winding assembly 23, and is connected to the first drive wheel 321 from the winding assembly 23. The pressure belt 34 forms a feeding space for the feeding device 10 between the first drive wheel 321 and the second drive wheel 322. It can be understood that the pressure belt 34 is wound around the forming device 20 between the first drive wheel 321 and the second drive wheel 322 and avoids the feeding area of ​​the feeding device 10. The structure is reasonably set, which can not only better drive the winding assembly 23 to rotate, but also provide good feeding for the feeding device 10. At the same time, the first drive wheel 321 and the second drive wheel 322 on both sides of the forming device 20 are connected to the drive mechanism 31, so that the pressure belt 34 can be smoothly conveyed around the forming device 20.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In some optional embodiments, the feeding device 10 has its own power mechanism to enable better feeding. The feeding device 10 may also be equipped with an adhesive applicator to pre-apply adhesive to the fed cork strips. Alternatively, the cork strips may be pre-applied adhesive to other mechanisms.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 In some optional embodiments, the drive mechanism 31 includes a power component 311 and a transmission component 312. The transmission component 312 is mounted on the output end of the power component 311 and is connected to the first transmission wheel 321 and the second transmission wheel 322. The power component 311 operates to synchronously drive the first transmission wheel 321 and the second transmission wheel 322 to rotate, so that the pressure belt 34 is circulated and conveyed on the mounting structure 32. Gears 3212 that cooperate with the transmission component 312 can be provided on both the first transmission wheel 321 and the second transmission wheel 322. The transmission component 312 can be a gear chain transmission structure. In this embodiment, the pressure belt 34 can be a steel belt, which is more stable and can better compress the cork roll material. Of course, the pressure belt 34 can also be a structure made of alloy material or other hard material, as long as the pressure belt 34 can act on the cork roll material to compress it.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 10In some optional embodiments, the mounting structure 32 further includes a sliding assembly 325, which includes a sliding seat 3251 and a slide rail 3252. Specifically, the slide rail 3252 is mounted on the frame 101, and the sliding seat 3251 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 3252. A third drive wheel 323 is mounted on the sliding seat 3251 and can slide back and forth along the slide rail 3252. The third drive wheel 323 slides along the slide rail 3252 via the sliding seat 3251 so that the pressure belt 34 can automatically retract. It can be understood that the pressure belt 34 cyclically conveys and compresses the roll assembly 23, so that the roll assembly 23 continuously rolls the material, thereby making the outer diameter of the cork roll wound on the roll assembly 23 continuously increase, while the pressure belt 34 always adheres to and wraps around the cork roll to compress the cork roll, that is, the cork roll is rolled up while the pressure belt 34 is compressing it. In order to accommodate the cork rolls with ever-increasing outer diameter, the third drive wheel 323 slides on the frame 101 to achieve automatic retraction of the pressure belt 34, thereby enabling it to work well with the cork rolls on the roll assembly 23.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 10 In some optional embodiments, the mounting structure 32 further includes a positioning component 326, which includes a positioning hydraulic cylinder 3261. Specifically, the positioning hydraulic cylinder 3261 is mounted on the frame 101, and its output end is connected to the sliding seat 3251. The positioning hydraulic cylinder 3261 positions the sliding seat 3251 on the slide rail 3252, allowing the pressure belt 34 to continuously compress and be pressed by the circumferential pressing mechanism 33. Simultaneously, the action of the positioning hydraulic cylinder 3261 also drives the sliding seat 3251 and its third drive wheel 323 to slide along the slide rail 3252, allowing the pressure belt 34 to automatically retract. It is understood that the positioning hydraulic cylinder 3261 can withstand greater pressure from the steel belt, better supporting the sliding seat 3251 and its third drive wheel 323, thereby allowing the steel belt to better wrap the cork roll on the pressing and securing assembly 23. The structure is robust and the design is reasonable.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 12In some optional embodiments, the pressing device 30 further includes a pressing mechanism 33. The specific number of pressing mechanisms 33 can be set according to the actual needs of pressing. Multiple pressing mechanisms 33 are arranged on the outer periphery of the forming device 20 to strengthen the pressing force of the pressing belt 34 on the cork roll. Specifically, the pressing mechanism 33 includes a compression hydraulic cylinder 331 and a compression assembly 332. The compression hydraulic cylinder 331 is mounted on the frame 101, and the compression assembly 332 is mounted on the output end of the compression hydraulic cylinder 331. The compression hydraulic cylinder 331 is activated so that the compression assembly 332 can extend between the first forming assembly 21 and the second forming assembly 22 and roll on the pressing belt 34 on the outer periphery of the roll assembly 23, thereby strengthening the compression of the cork roll by the pressing belt 34. The extrusion assembly 332 is equipped with at least one rolling element 3321. Through the cooperation of the rolling element 3321 and the pressure belt 34, a compressive force can be effectively applied to the pressure belt 34, allowing it to better compress the cork roll on the roll assembly 23. Simultaneously, the compression of the pressure belt 34 by the rolling element 3321 does not affect the cyclic conveying of the pressure belt 34 on the mounting structure 32. Furthermore, since the pressure belt 34 is made of steel, the cooperation between the steel belt and the rolling element 3321 allows for smoother cyclic conveying of the steel belt on the mounting structure 32. The structure is rationally designed, resulting in a good compressive effect.

[0044] Please see Figures 4 to 6 In some optional embodiments, the first forming component 21 is fixed to the frame 101, and the second forming component 22 is rotatably mounted on the frame 101. The second forming component 22 rotates to move closer to or away from the first forming component 21. The second forming component 22 can move closer to the first forming component 21 to secure the roll assembly 23. The second forming component 22 can move away from the first forming component 21 to detach the roll assembly 23 or the cork sheet on the roll assembly 23. The movement of the second forming component 22 makes the detachment of the roll assembly 23 and the cork sheet more convenient. Specifically, a rotating frame 222 is provided on the frame 101. The second forming component 22 is mounted on the rotating frame 222, and a reinforcing member is provided on the rotating frame 222. Both the rotating frame 222 and the reinforcing member are connected to the second forming component 22, and the reinforcing member makes the connection between the second forming component 22 and the rotating frame 222 more stable. One end of the rotating frame 222 is provided with a rotating component 224 connected to the frame 101. The rotating component 224 enables the second molding component 22 to rotate on the frame 101 to move closer to or further away from the first molding component 21.

[0045] Please see Figures 4 to 6In some optional embodiments, the frame 101 is further provided with a locking component 24 that allows the second forming assembly 22 to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. The locking component 24 includes a first locking part 241 disposed at one end of the rotating frame 222 and a second locking part 242 located on the frame 101. The locking component 24 also includes a detachable locking member 243. The first locking part 241 cooperates with the second locking part 242, and the locking member 243 is installed within the first locking part 241 and the second locking part 242 to lock the second forming assembly 22 onto the frame 101. Removing the locking member 243 releases the locking component 24, allowing the second forming assembly 22 to rotate on the frame 101. The locking component 24 allows the second forming assembly 22 to be locked onto the frame 101, thereby enabling the roll assembly 23 to rotate between the first forming assembly 21 and the second forming assembly 22.

[0046] Please see Figures 4 to 6 In some optional embodiments, the first forming component 21 has a first through hole 211 through which the roll assembly 23 passes, and the frame 101 is provided with a first fixing component 212 for mounting the roll assembly 23 near the first through hole 211. On the other hand, the second forming component 22 has a second through hole 221 through which the roll assembly 23 passes, and the frame 101 is provided with a second fixing component 223 for mounting the roll assembly 23 near the second through hole 221. In this embodiment, the second fixing component 223 is disposed on the rotating frame 222. One end of the roll assembly 23 is rotatably mounted in the first fixing component 212, and the other end of the roll assembly 23 is rotatably mounted in the second fixing component 223.

[0047] Please see Figures 4 to 7In some optional embodiments, the roll assembly 23 includes a shaft core 231 and a core 232. The core 232 is detachably mounted on the shaft core 231, and both ends of the shaft core 231 are provided with rotating shaft portions 2312. One end of the shaft core 231 passes through the first forming assembly 21, and the rotating shaft portion 2312 at one end is rotatably mounted in the first fixing assembly 212 on the frame 101. The other end of the shaft core 231 can pass through the second forming assembly 22. When the second forming assembly 22 is locked to the frame 101 by the locking assembly 24, the other end of the shaft core 231 passes through the second forming assembly 22. The rotating shaft portion 2312 at the other end of the shaft core 231 is rotatably mounted in the second fixing assembly 223 on the frame 101. Specifically, the core 232 has a groove 2321 that mates with the shaft core 231, and the groove 2321 has an irregular shape. The shaft core 231 is provided with a mounting portion 2311 that mates with the groove 2321, and the mounting portion 2311 of the shaft core 231 is engaged within the groove 2321. The irregularly shaped groove 2321 restricts relative rotation between the shaft core 231 and the material core 232 in the circumferential direction, meaning that relative rotation between the shaft core 231 and the material core 232 does not occur. The material core 232 is subjected to force acting on the shaft core 231, thereby causing the shaft core 231 and the material core 232 to rotate integrally on the frame 101. In this embodiment, the pressing device 30 acts on the material core 232 so that the material core 232 acts on the shaft core 231, and the shaft core 231 drives the material core 232 to rotate and wind up the material on the frame 101.
