Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressed towel production, and more particularly to a 3D compressed granule production device. Background Technology

[0002] Compressed towels are a new type of cleaning tool. Their volume is reduced by 80% to 90% compared to ordinary disposable towels. When used, the compressed towel is placed in water and it will quickly expand and return to its original size without being damaged. Compressed towels greatly facilitate transportation, carrying and storage. In the production process, disposable towels need to be squeezed to the maximum extent so that they are fully compressed and their volume can remain unchanged.

[0003] When compressing disposable towels, operators need to insert the towels into a mold, and then the hydraulic mechanism squeezes the towels. However, after the operator inserts the towels into the mold, the towels will slightly expand due to their own elasticity, which may cause some towels to not be able to enter the mold completely. This will damage the integrity of the towels during subsequent compression, resulting in a low integrity rate of compressed disposable towels. Furthermore, after compression, the towels will adhere fully to the mold. Due to friction between the towels and the mold, the towels may not be able to separate from the mold in time, thus preventing continuous compression of disposable towels. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of some disposable towels not being able to enter the mold completely and the disposable towels not being able to separate from the mold in time during the compression process, the present invention provides a 3D compression granule device that can improve the integrity rate of compressed disposable towels and allow disposable towels to separate from the mold in time, facilitating continuous compression of disposable towels.

[0005] A 3D compression particle device includes a mounting plate, a servo motor, slide rails, a compression mechanism, and an opening and closing mechanism. The servo motor is fixed to one side of the mounting plate, and two slide rails are fixed to the other side of the mounting plate. The two slide rails are symmetrically arranged. The compression mechanism is located on the output shaft of the servo motor and is connected to the slide rails. The opening and closing mechanism is located on the compression mechanism.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the compression mechanism includes a large gear, an upper rack, a connecting frame, a lower rack, and a stamping rod. The large gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. The upper rack is slidably connected to one of the slide rails and meshes with the large gear. One end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper rack. The lower rack is slidably connected to the other slide rail and meshes with the large gear. The stamping rod is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame away from the upper rack.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the opening and closing mechanism includes a sliding block, a compression mold, a return spring, a mounting strip, a wedge block, and a limiting block. The sliding block is fixedly connected to the lower part of the lower rack. Two compression molds are slidably connected to the sliding block. The two compression molds are tightly fitted to form a cavity with an open upper end. A return spring is connected between each of the two compression molds and the sliding block. Two mounting strips are fixedly connected to the lower part of the mounting plate. The two mounting strips are symmetrically arranged. A wedge block is fixedly connected to each of the two mounting strips. Two limiting blocks are fixedly connected between the two mounting strips. The two compression molds are located between the two limiting blocks.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pressing mechanism is further included. The pressing mechanism is disposed on the stamping rod and includes a guide rod, a pressing rod, a vertical spring and a limiting ring. The guide rod is fixedly connected inside the stamping rod, the pressing rod is slidably connected to the guide rod, the pressing rod is tightly fitted to the inner sidewall of the stamping rod, a vertical spring is connected between the stamping rod and the pressing rod, and a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the middle of the guide rod.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pulley is further included, and a plurality of pulleys are rotatably connected inside the limiting block, and the pulleys will contact the compression mold.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a flipping mechanism is further included. The flipping mechanism is disposed within two compression molds. The flipping mechanism includes a mounting rod, a flipping plate, a pinion, a drive rod, a horizontal rack, and a horizontal spring. The mounting rod is rotatably connected to both compression molds. The flipping plate is fixedly connected to the mounting rod, and the pinion is fixedly connected to the mounting rod. The drive rod is slidably connected to both compression molds. A horizontal rack is fixedly connected to one end of the drive rod, and the horizontal rack meshes with the pinion. A horizontal spring connects the drive rod to the compression mold.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0012] 1. First, the operator inserts the processed disposable towel into the cavity between the two compression molds. Then, the operator starts the servo motor. The output shaft of the servo motor drives the large gear to rotate clockwise by 1 / 5 turn. The punching rod squeezes the disposable towel between the two compression molds, thus completing the compression of the disposable towel more quickly. Then, the output shaft of the servo motor drives the large gear to rotate counterclockwise by 2 / 5 turn. The wedge block squeezes the two compression molds to move away from each other. The compressed disposable towel between the two compression molds falls downward under the action of gravity, which facilitates continuous compression of disposable towels and improves the efficiency of compressing disposable towels.

[0013] 2. When the servo motor drives the large gear to rotate 1 / 5 turn clockwise, the stamping rod drives the extrusion rod and the vertical spring to move downwards. The extrusion rod continues to push the disposable towel downwards, and the extrusion rod pushes the disposable towel completely into the space between the two compression molds. This can prevent the disposable towel from stretching and causing some towels to no longer be located between the compression molds, resulting in incomplete compression of the disposable towel, thereby improving the stability of the compressed disposable towel.

[0014] 3. When the two compression molds move up and down, they will contact the pulleys on the two limit blocks respectively, reducing the wear of the compression molds during movement and preventing the two compression molds from not fitting tightly due to wear, thus avoiding errors in the shape and size of the disposable towel after compression. This allows for more complete compression of the disposable towel.

[0015] 4. The mounting rod and the flip plate are driven to rotate upward by the small gear. The rotation of the flip plate pushes the compressed disposable towels on it to fall downward. This can prevent the compressed disposable towels from sticking to the compression mold and causing them to not fall off in time. This makes it easier to continuously compress disposable towels and further improves the efficiency of compressing disposable towels. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] Although the invention may be described with respect to specific applications or industries, those skilled in the art will recognize its broader applicability. Those skilled in the art will understand that terms such as "above," "below," "upward," "downward," etc., are used to describe the drawings and not to indicate a limitation on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A compressed particle 3D device, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a mounting plate 1, a servo motor 2, a slide rail 3, a compression mechanism 4, and an opening and closing mechanism 5. The servo motor 2 is bolted to one side of the mounting plate 1. Two slide rails 3 are bolted to the other side of the mounting plate 1. The two slide rails 3 are arranged symmetrically and are both vertical. The compression mechanism 4 is located on the output shaft of the servo motor 2 and is connected to the slide rails 3. The opening and closing mechanism 5 is located on the compression mechanism 4.

[0032] The compression mechanism 4 includes a large gear 41, an upper rack 42, a connecting frame 43, a lower rack 44, and a stamping rod 45. The large gear 41 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 2. The upper rack 42 is slidably connected to one of the slide rails 3 and meshes with the large gear 41. One end of the connecting frame 43 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper rack 42. The lower rack 44 is slidably connected to the other slide rail 3 and meshes with the large gear 41. The stamping rod 45 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame 43 away from the upper rack 42.

[0033] The opening and closing mechanism 5 includes a sliding block 51, a compression mold 52, a return spring 53, a mounting strip 54, a wedge block 55, and a limiting block 56. The sliding block 51 is fixed to the lower part of the lower rack 44. Two compression molds 52 are slidably connected to the sliding block 51. The two compression molds 52 are tightly fitted to form a cavity with an open upper end. A return spring 53 is connected between each of the two compression molds 52 and the sliding block 51. Two mounting strips 54 are fixed to the lower part of the mounting plate 1. The two mounting strips 54 are symmetrically arranged. A wedge block 55 is fixed to each of the two mounting strips 54. Two limiting blocks 56 are fixed between the two mounting strips 54. The two compression molds 52 are located between the two limiting blocks 56.

[0034] First, the operator inserts the processed disposable towel into the cavity between the two compression molds 52. Then, the operator starts the servo motor 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 2 drives the large gear 41 to rotate clockwise by 1 / 5 turn. The clockwise rotation of the large gear 41 drives the upper rack 42 to slide downwards, and the clockwise rotation of the large gear 41 drives the lower rack 44 to slide upwards. The upper rack 42 drives the connecting frame 43 and the punch rod 45 to move downwards, and the lower rack 44 drives the sliding block 51, the compression mold 52, and the return spring 53 to move upwards. The two limit blocks 56 limit the sides of the two compression molds 52 respectively. The punch rod 45 squeezes the disposable towel between the two compression molds 52, thus completing the compression of the disposable towel more quickly. Then, the output shaft of the servo motor 2 drives the large gear 41 to rotate counterclockwise by 2 / 5 turn. The counterclockwise rotation of the large gear 41 drives the upper rack 42 to slide upwards, and the counterclockwise rotation of the large gear 41 drives the lower rack 44 to slide downwards. As the slides downward, the lower rack 44 drives the slide block 51, compression mold 52, and return spring 53 to move downward. The wedge block 55 squeezes the two compression molds 52 to move away from each other. The two return springs 53 are compressed. When the two compression molds 52 separate to a certain gap, the two compression molds 52 no longer support the compression of disposable towels. The compressed disposable towels between the two compression molds 52 fall downward under the action of gravity, which facilitates continuous compression of disposable towels and improves the efficiency of compression. Then, the output shaft of the servo motor 2 drives the large gear 41 to rotate clockwise 1 / 5 turn to reset. The clockwise rotation of the large gear 41 drives the upper rack 42 and lower rack 44 to reset. The reset of the lower rack 44 drives the slide block 51, compression mold 52, and return spring 53 to move upward. The two compression molds 52 gradually separate from the wedge block 55. The reset spring 53 resets and extends, driving the compression molds 52 to move and reset.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it also includes a pressing mechanism 6, which is mounted on the stamping rod 45. The pressing mechanism 6 includes a guide rod 61, a pressing rod 62, a vertical spring 63, and a limiting ring 64. The guide rod 61 is welded inside the stamping rod 45, and the pressing rod 62 is slidably connected to the guide rod 61. The pressing rod 62 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the stamping rod 45. The pressing rod 62 is used to push the disposable towel. The vertical spring 63 is connected between the stamping rod 45 and the pressing rod 62 through a hook. The limiting ring 64 is welded to the middle of the guide rod 61.

[0037] When the servo motor 2 drives the large gear 41 to rotate clockwise by 1 / 5 turn, the stamping rod 45 moves downward. The stamping rod 45 drives the extrusion rod 62 and the vertical spring 63 to move downward. The extrusion rod 62 contacts the disposable towel. The stamping rod 45 continues to move downward, and the extrusion rod 62 continues to push the disposable towel downward. The extrusion rod 62 pushes the disposable towel completely between the two compression molds 52. This prevents the disposable towel from being partially out of place between the compression molds 52 due to its expansion, thus preventing incomplete compression and improving the stability of the compressed disposable towel. The stamping rod 45 continues to move downward, and the extrusion rod 62 cannot move downward further due to the obstruction of the disposable towel. The vertical spring 63 compresses... The two compression molds 52 together push the disposable towel and the extrusion rod 62 upward. The stamping rod 45 and the two compression molds 52 extrude pressure on the disposable towel. When the large gear 41 rotates clockwise by 1 / 5 of a turn, the limiting ring 64 contacts the top surface of the extrusion rod 62, and the bottom surface of the extrusion rod 62 is flush with the bottom of the stamping rod 45. In this way, the compression of the disposable towel is completed more quickly. Then, the servo motor 2 drives the large gear 41 to rotate counterclockwise by 2 / 5 of a turn, and the extrusion rod 62 gradually separates from the compressed disposable towel. The vertical spring 63 returns to its original position and extends, causing the extrusion rod 62 to return to its original position. Then, the servo motor 2 drives the large gear 41 to rotate clockwise by 1 / 5 of a turn to return to its original position, and the guide rod 61, the extrusion rod 62 and the vertical spring 63 also return to their original positions.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] Based on Example 2, such as Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, it also includes pulleys 8. Several pulleys 8 are rotatably connected inside the limiting block 56. The pulleys 8 will contact the compression mold 52 and are used to limit the compression mold 52.

[0040] When the two compression molds 52 move up and down, they will contact the pulleys 8 on the two limit blocks 56 respectively, reducing the wear of the compression molds 52 during movement and preventing the two compression molds 52 from not fitting tightly due to wear, which would cause errors in the shape and size of the disposable towel after compression, thus allowing for more complete compression of the disposable towel.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] Based on Example 3, such as Figures 6-11As shown, it also includes a flipping mechanism 9, which is disposed within the two compression molds 52. The flipping mechanism 9 includes a mounting rod 91, a flipping plate 92, a pinion 93, a drive rod 94, a horizontal rack 95, and a horizontal spring 96. The mounting rod 91 is rotatably connected to both compression molds 52. The flipping plate 92 is bolted to the mounting rod 91. The pinion 93 is connected to the mounting rod 91 via a flat key. The drive rod 94 is slidably connected to both compression molds 52. One end of the drive rod 94 is bolted to the horizontal rack 95, which meshes with the pinion 93. The horizontal spring 96 is connected to the drive rod 94 and the compression mold 52 via a hook.

[0043] Initially, the operator inserts a processed disposable towel into the cavity between two compression molds 52, with the towel positioned above the flipping plate 92. When the servo motor 2 drives the large gear 41 to rotate 2 / 5 of a turn in reverse, the wedge block 55 compresses the two compression molds 52, causing them to move away from each other. The compression molds 52 then move the mounting rod 91, flipping plate 92, pinion 93, drive rod 94, horizontal rack 95, and horizontal spring 96. The drive rod 94 contacts the limit block 56, and the drive rod 94 and horizontal rack 95 stop moving. The two compression molds 52 continue to move away from each other, the horizontal spring 96 compresses, and the horizontal rack 95 compresses the pinion 93 to rotate. The pinion 93 drives the mounting rod 91 and flipping plate 92 to rotate upwards. The rotation of the flipping plate 92 pushes the compressed disposable towels on it downwards. This prevents the compressed disposable towels from sticking inside the compression molds 52, thus avoiding the situation where the compressed disposable towels cannot fall off in time. This makes it easier to continuously compress disposable towels and further improves the efficiency of compressing disposable towels.

[0044] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
