DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0062] like Figures 2 to 11 The motor-driven circular sponge cutting device shown comprises a base 1, a feeding mechanism and two sets of first feeding rollers 2 are sequentially arranged between the inner walls of the base 1, and the feeding mechanism is used to intermittently convey the sponge to be cut;

[0063] The two sets of first feed rollers 2 are rotatably connected between the inner walls of the base 1 on both sides. Two sets of second feed rollers 3 are provided between the two sets of first feed rollers 2. The two sets of second feed rollers 3 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the base 1 at corresponding positions, and a gap is reserved between the opposite ends of the two sets of second feed rollers 3.

[0064] A connecting plate 4 is fixed to one side wall of the base 1, a controller 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the connecting plate 4 away from the base 1, a fixed card seat 6, a color camera 7 and a support plate 8 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 4 close to the base 1 from top to bottom, a first motor 9 is fixed to the top of the fixed card seat 6, an electric telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the first motor 9, a turntable 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 10, a distance meter 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the turntable 11, a cutting processing mechanism is provided on the top of the turntable 11, the cutting processing mechanism is used to cut the sponge and self-clean when the color camera 7 detects that the sponge has a black edge;

[0065] A pushing mechanism is provided on the top of the support plate 8. After the cutting mechanism completes cutting the sponge, the pushing mechanism is used to push the circular sponge upward for a certain distance and then drive the circular sponge to slowly rotate for one circle. During operation, in the prior art, an electric heating wire is generally used to cut the sponge, thereby cutting the sponge into a required shape. When the sponge needs to be cut into a circle, the electric heating wire is heated to a certain temperature before cutting the sponge. During a long period of operation, residual sponge may adhere to the outer wall of the electric heating wire, which may cause black edges on the outer wall of the sponge and uneven cuts during the process of cutting the sponge into a circle. If it is not discovered in time, it is easy to cause the sponge to be inconsistent with the shape after cutting the circle. The embodiment of the present invention can solve the above problems. The specific implementation method is as follows: first, the sponge to be cut is placed on the feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism is composed of a driving motor, a rotating shaft, a conveyor belt and other components. It is an existing mature technology and will not be elaborated here one by one. The feeding mechanism will drive the target sponge to move. The sponge passes through the first feeding roller 2 and the second feeding roller 3 and stops conveying after moving to the gap. The gap is located directly below the turntable 11. Then the cutting processing mechanism starts to cut the target sponge. After the cutting processing mechanism completes the cutting, the controller 5 first controls the cutting processing mechanism to start to make way for the rising sponge body. Then the controller 5 controls the pushing mechanism to start, and the pushing mechanism will cut The finished sponge is pushed upward for a certain distance, which helps to avoid the cutting processing mechanism from blocking the sponge body in the rising process, so that the cut sponge contacts the cutting processing mechanism during the upward movement, causing the surface of the cut sponge block to be melted and cut again. In the process of the sponge body moving upward, it will gradually separate from the sponge body. After the cut sponge body is completely separated from the sponge body, the distance tester 12 detects that the sponge has reached a predetermined height, and then the controller 5 controls the pushing mechanism to drive the circle-cut sponge body to rotate slowly. At this time, the color camera 7 will take a picture of the outer wall of the cut sponge for recognition. If no black edge is recognized on the outer wall of the sponge, it is cut by default. No problems occurred during the process, and then the controller 5 controlled the pushing mechanism to reset, and then the feeding mechanism continued to transport the sponge body, and repeated the above work process, which is conducive to improving work efficiency. If black edges are identified on the outer wall of the sponge, the controller 5 controls the cutting and cleaning mechanism to start self-cleaning. The cutting and cleaning mechanism will clean the sponge cutting attachments remaining on the cutting part, which is conducive to keeping the cutting part of the cutting and cleaning mechanism tidy, and is conducive to reducing the occurrence of black edges and unevenness during the cutting process. In addition, the cutting and cleaning mechanism will also synchronously straighten the cutting wire 27 during the process of cleaning the remaining sponge, which is conducive to avoiding the bending of the cutting and cleaning mechanism and causing uneven cutting of the sponge.

[0066] As an embodiment of the present invention, the pushing mechanism includes a first pushing cylinder 14, the first pushing cylinder 14 is fixed to the top of the support plate 8, the top of the telescopic end of the first pushing cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to a rectangular frame 15, the top of the rectangular frame 15 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 16, the bottom end of the rotating rod 16 extends to the inside of the rectangular frame 15, the top of the rotating rod 16 is fixedly connected to a support plate 17, and a driving mechanism is provided between the rotating rod 16 and the connecting plate 4, the driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating rod 16 to rotate slowly; when working, the rectangular frame 15 is driven upward by the telescopic movement of the first pushing cylinder 14 The rectangular frame 15 moves upward, driving the rotating rod 16 to move upward. The upward movement of the rotating rod 16 will drive the supporting plate 17 to move upward. The diameter of the supporting plate 17 is smaller than the diameter of the sponge after cutting the circle, which is conducive to pushing the sponge upward through the supporting plate 17 until it is separated from the sponge body. After the sponge moves upward for a certain distance, it stops moving. Then the controller 5 controls the driving mechanism to start, and the driving mechanism will drive the electric telescopic rod 10 to rotate slowly. The electric telescopic rod 10 will drive the supporting plate 17 and the sponge to rotate slowly, which is conducive to cooperating with the color camera 7 to detect and identify the outer wall of the sponge.

[0067] As an embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a second motor 18, a limiting rod 19 and a gear 20. The gear 20 is fixed to the bottom end of the rotating rod 16. The second motor 18 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting plate 4 close to the base 1 through a mounting seat 21. The output shaft end of the second motor 18 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 22. The outer wall of the threaded rod 22 is threadedly connected to a threaded seat 23. The limiting rod 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 4 close to the base 1. The limiting rod 19 is slidably connected to the threaded seat 23. The top of the threaded seat 23 is fixedly connected to a rack 24, and the rack 24 matches the gear 20. When working, the second motor 18 is started, and the second motor 18 rotates to drive The threaded rod 22 rotates, and the threaded seat 23 is limited by the limit rod 19, so that the threaded seat 23 can only move along the direction of the limit rod 19. The movement of the threaded seat 23 drives the rack 24 to move. Because the gear 20 is consistent with the height of the rack 24 after moving upward a certain distance, the rack 24 will drive the gear 20 to rotate itself after contacting with the gear 20 during the movement. The rotation of the gear 20 will drive the electric telescopic rod 10 to rotate slowly, and the electric telescopic rod 10 will drive the support plate 17 to rotate slowly. Therefore, during the rotation of the sponge, the outer wall of the sponge can be detected and identified by the color camera 7, which is conducive to all-round detection of the outer wall of the sponge.

[0068] As an embodiment of the present invention, the cutting processing mechanism includes a second pushing cylinder 25, the second pushing cylinder 25 is fixed to the top side of the turntable 11, the telescopic end of the second pushing cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to the heating element 26, the bottom of the heating element 26 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 13, the bottom of the connecting seat 13 is fixed with a cutting wire 27, and an impurity removal mechanism is provided on the side wall of the connecting seat 13; when working, after the cutting processing mechanism completes cutting, the controller 5 controls the second pushing cylinder 25 to start, and the second pushing cylinder 25 performs a telescopic movement to push the heating element 26 to move, and the movement of the heating element 26 drives the connecting seat 13 and the impurity removal mechanism to move, and the movement of the connecting seat 13 drives the cutting wire 27 to move, so that the cutting wire 27 and the impurity removal mechanism are connected. The impurity removal mechanism moves away from the cut sponge, and then drives the turntable 11 to move upward through the electric telescopic rod 10. The turntable 11 drives the cutting wire 27 to move upward through the second pushing cylinder 25, the heating element 26 and the connecting seat 13. The cutting wire 27 is driven to avoid in different directions by the second pushing cylinder 25 and the electric telescopic rod 10. On the one hand, it is beneficial to avoid damage to the sponge after contact with the cutting wire 27 during the upward movement of the sponge. On the other hand, when the color camera 7 recognizes that there are black edges on the sponge, after the impurity removal mechanism starts cleaning, it is beneficial to reduce the situation where impurities fly onto the cut sponge during the process of cleaning the sponge impurities remaining on the outer wall of the cutting wire 27.

[0069] As an embodiment of the present invention, the impurity removing mechanism includes a third pushing cylinder 28, which is fixed to the side of the outer shell of the heating element 26 away from the turntable 11, and the telescopic end of the third pushing cylinder 28 is fixedly connected to a block seat 36, and the end of the block seat 36 close to the cutting wire 27 is fixedly connected to a hollow round seat 29; when working, after the color camera 7 recognizes that there is a black edge on the outer wall of the sponge body, the controller 5 controls the third pushing cylinder 28 to start, and the third pushing cylinder 28 performs a telescopic movement to push the block seat 36 to move downward, and the block seat 36 drives the hollow round seat 29 to move downward. Because the hollow round seat 29 is sleeved on the surface of the cutting wire 27, the hollow round seat 29 moves up and down, so that the attachments on the surface of the cutting wire 27 can be cleaned, which is beneficial to remove the sponge adhering to the outer wall of the cutting wire 27.

[0070] As an embodiment of the present invention, the interior of the hollow round seat 29 is provided with a plurality of grooves 30 in a circular array, and a plurality of elastic telescopic rods 31 are fixed in a linear array inside all the grooves 30. The telescopic ends of all the elastic telescopic rods 31 located in the same groove 30 are fixed with an arc-shaped clamping plate 32. A plurality of scrapers 33 are fixed in a linear array on the side of all the arc-shaped clamping plates 32 close to the cutting wire 27. A push rod 34 is fixed on the top of all the arc-shaped clamping plates 32. The bottom end of the connecting seat 13 is provided with a triangular groove 35 equal to the number of the push rods 34. , the push rod 34 cooperates with the triangular groove 35 at the corresponding position; when working, the sponge attachments adhered to the outer wall of the cutting wire 27 are cleaned through the hollow round seat 29. Although most of the sponge attachments can be removed, some impurities adhering to the outer wall of the cutting wire 27 that are more firmly adhered are difficult to clean, thereby affecting the cutting of the cutting wire 27. This embodiment of the present invention can solve the above problems. The specific implementation method is as follows: the movement of the hollow round seat 29 will drive the elastic telescopic rod 31 at the corresponding position to move downward, and the elastic telescopic rod 31 drives the arc clamp at the corresponding position The holding plate 32 moves downward, and the arc-shaped clamping plate 32 moves downward, driving the push rod 34 to move downward. After the push rod 34 disengages from the corresponding triangular groove 35, the elastic telescopic rod 31 releases the spring force to push the arc-shaped clamping plates 32 at the corresponding positions closer to each other. The arc-shaped clamping plates 32 drive the scrapers 33 at the corresponding positions to approach the cutting wire 27 and contact the outer wall of the cutting wire 27. As a result, the arc-shaped clamping plates 32 drive the scrapers 33 at the corresponding positions to move downward, and the sponge remaining on the outer wall of the cutting wire 27 is scraped off synchronously, which is conducive to keeping the outer wall of the cutting wire 27 clean. It is neat and tidy, which is beneficial to reducing the impact of sponge impurities remaining on the outer wall of the cutting wire 27 on the cutting effect and reducing the occurrence of black edges when the cutting wire 27 cuts the sponge. Moreover, because the arc-shaped clamping plates 32 form a complete circle when they are close to each other, the circular space formed by the arc-shaped clamping plates 32 can synchronously straighten the bent cutting wire 27 and straighten the cutting wire 27 during the downward movement of the arc-shaped clamping plates 32, which is beneficial to the subsequent cutting of the sponge by the cutting wire 27 and helps to avoid the uneven cutting of the sponge caused by the bending of the cutting wire 27.

[0071] As an embodiment of the present invention, a holder 38 is fixed to the top of the base 1, and the bottom of the holder 38 is rotatably connected to two rotating drums 37; during operation, if the top of the sponge body to be cut is not blocked and limited to restrict the movement of the sponge body, it may affect the support plate 17 to push the sponge after cutting into a circle upward, causing unnecessary trouble. This embodiment of the present invention can solve the above problems. The specific implementation method is as follows: when the sponge body is transported toward the cutting wire 27 by the feeding mechanism, when the sponge body passes through the rotating drum 37, the top of the sponge body is limited by the rotating drum 37, and the sliding friction is converted into rolling friction to reduce the friction force during the movement of the sponge body, which is beneficial for the feeding mechanism to transport the sponge body.

[0072] like Figure 1 A method for using a motor-driven circular sponge cutting device is shown, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0073] Obtaining first request information, where the first request information is generated by the cutting processing mechanism after the sponge cutting is completed;

[0074] generating first control information;

[0075] Sending first control information to the cutting processing mechanism to control the cutting processing mechanism to start lifting;

[0076] Obtaining second request information, where the second request information is generated after the distance tester 12 obtains the sponge elevation information;

[0077] generating second control information;

[0078] sending the second control information to the pushing mechanism to control the pushing mechanism to start pushing out;

[0079] Obtaining third request information, where the third request information is generated after the color camera 7 obtains the identification information;

[0080] generating third control information;

[0081] sending third control information to the cutting processing mechanism to control the cutting processing mechanism to start cleaning;

[0082] Obtaining fourth request information, where the fourth request information is generated after the pushing mechanism rotates one full circle;

[0083] generating fourth control information;

[0084] sending fourth control information to the pushing mechanism to control the pushing mechanism to return to its original position;

[0085] Among them, the cutting processing mechanism generates a first request information after the cutting is completed, and the first request information is sent by the cutting processing mechanism to the controller 5. Then the controller 5 generates a first control information and sends the first control information to the cutting processing mechanism to control the cutting processing mechanism to start moving away from the cutting line. When the distance tester 12 detects that the cut sponge moves upward to a predetermined height, the sponge lifting information is generated. Then the distance tester 12 generates a second request information. The second request information is sent by the distance tester 12 to the controller 5. Then the controller 5 controls the pushing mechanism to start pushing out. When the color camera 7 detects and identifies that the cut sponge has a black edge, a third request information is generated. The third request information is sent by the color camera 7 to the controller 5. Then the controller 5 controls the cutting cleaning mechanism to start cleaning. After the pushing mechanism rotates three hundred and sixty degrees, a fourth request information is generated. The fourth request information is sent to the controller 5 by the pushing mechanism. Then the controller 5 controls the pushing mechanism to start resetting.

[0096] Working principle of the present invention:

[0097] In the prior art, electric heating wires are generally used to cut sponges, thereby cutting the sponges into the required shapes. When the sponges need to be cut into circles, the electric heating wires are heated to a certain temperature before cutting the sponges. During a long period of operation, residual sponges may adhere to the outer wall of the electric heating wires, which may cause black edges on the outer wall of the sponges and uneven cuts during the process of cutting the sponges into circles. If not discovered in time, the sponges after cutting into circles may not meet the requirements. This embodiment of the present invention can solve the above problems. The specific implementation method is as follows: first, the sponges to be cut are placed on the feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism The structure is composed of a driving motor, a rotating shaft, a conveyor belt and other components. It is an existing mature technology and will not be elaborated here one by one. The feeding mechanism will drive the target sponge to move. The sponge stops conveying after passing through the first feeding roller 2 and the second feeding roller 3 to the gap. The gap is located just below the turntable 11. Then the cutting mechanism starts to cut the target sponge. After the cutting mechanism is completed, the controller 5 first controls the cutting mechanism to start to make way for the rising sponge. Then the controller 5 controls the pushing mechanism to start. The pushing mechanism pushes the sponge after cutting upward for a certain distance, which is conducive to avoiding the cutting mechanism from cutting the sponge during the rising process. The sponge body is blocked, so that the cut sponge contacts the cutting processing mechanism during the upward movement, causing the surface of the cut sponge block to be melted and cut again. In the process of the sponge body moving upward, it will gradually separate from the sponge body. After the cut sponge body is completely separated from the sponge body, the distance tester 12 detects that the sponge has reached a predetermined height, and then the controller 5 controls the pushing mechanism to drive the circle-cut sponge to rotate slowly. At this time, the color camera 7 will take a picture of the outer wall of the cut sponge for recognition. If no black edge is identified on the outer wall of the sponge, it is assumed that there is no problem in the cutting process, and then the controller 5 controls the pushing mechanism to drive the circle-cut sponge to rotate slowly. The moving mechanism is reset, and then the feeding mechanism continues to transport the sponge body, and the above work process is repeated, which is beneficial to improving work efficiency. If black edges are identified on the outer wall of the sponge, the controller 5 controls the cutting and cleaning mechanism to start self-cleaning. The cutting and cleaning mechanism will clean the sponge cutting attachments remaining on the cutting part, which is beneficial to keeping the cutting part of the cutting and cleaning mechanism tidy, and is beneficial to reducing the occurrence of black edges and unevenness during the cutting process. The cutting and cleaning mechanism will also synchronously straighten the cutting wire 27 during the process of cleaning the remaining sponge, which is beneficial to avoid the bending of the cutting and cleaning mechanism causing uneven cutting of the sponge.
