Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of calenders, in particular to a calender for PVC artificial leather. Background Art
[0002] Calendering, also known as calendering, is the final step in heavy leather finishing. This process utilizes the plasticity of fibers under mixed heat conditions to flatten or create fine, parallel, diagonal lines on the surface of the fabric, enhancing its gloss. This process typically involves multiple sets of hard and soft rollers. The hard rollers are typically made of metal, with a highly polished surface or densely packed parallel grooves and a heater. The soft rollers are typically made of fiber or polyamide plastic. Calendering the artificial leather using different pressures and temperatures between the hard and soft rollers creates varying surface glosses.
[0003] The interior of the existing hard roller usually adopts a hollow structure, and the temperature of the hard roller is adjusted by a heating device to facilitate the processing of artificial leather. However, during the processing of artificial leather, the artificial leather is squeezed only through the meshing position of the hard roller and the soft roller, which causes the position where the hard roller does not contact the artificial leather to be in contact with the outside air, resulting in heat loss and energy waste. Secondly, the edges of the artificial leather usually have residual fragments and other impurities after trimming. After being squeezed by the hard roller, they will adhere to the surface of the hard roller (especially the hard roller with parallel inclined grooves). The attached fragments can easily squeeze the subsequent artificial leather, causing damage to the artificial leather and pits. Summary of the Invention

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to add the heat transfer oil, and the heat transfer oil is injected into the hard roller through the oil pump.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0032] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.
[0033] A calender for PVC artificial leather, such as Figures 1 to 7As shown, it includes two groups of support frames 1, a soft roller 2 and a hard roller 5 are connected between the two groups of support frames 1, a heating chamber 501 is provided inside the central shaft 6, a central shaft 6 is installed inside the hard roller 5, and both ends of the central shaft 6 extend to the outside of the hard roller 5, the top of the central shaft 6 is located on the inner wall of the hard roller 5 and a spraying groove 602 is provided, an extrusion plate 603 is provided at the edge of the spraying groove 602, and a heating layer 502 is formed between the extrusion plate 603 and the inner wall of the hard roller 5, the spraying groove 602 is aligned with the top of the central shaft 6, and a spraying groove 602 is provided at the edge of the spraying groove 602, both ends of the central shaft 6 are respectively connected to a connecting pipe 601 and a discharge pipe 7, a bottom end of the discharge pipe 7 is connected to a plurality of recovery pipes 701, and each recovery pipe 701 passes through the central shaft 6 and extends to the inside of the heating chamber 501, the heated heat transfer oil enters the central shaft 6 and is discharged through the spraying groove 602 at the top of the central shaft 6, and the spraying groove 602 is aligned with the top of the hard roller 5 Alignment allows the heated heat transfer oil to heat the artificial leather during the calendering process, and the heated heat transfer oil will then pass through the heating layer 502 formed by the inner wall of the hard roller 5 and the extrusion plate 603, reducing the flow of the heat transfer oil and fully increasing the contact area between the heat transfer oil and the inner wall of the hard roller 5, so that most of the heat of the heat transfer oil can pass through the top of the hard roller 5 to heat the artificial leather, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency of the heat transfer oil. A cleaning mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom end of the hard roller 5, and the cleaning mechanism 3 cleans impurities on the surface of the hard roller 5. A heating chamber 4 is installed below the cleaning mechanism 3, and a heating plate is installed inside the heating chamber 4, and the interior of the heating chamber 4 is filled with heat transfer oil. The heating pipe 401 and the return oil pipe 402 are both equipped with oil pumps, which provide a power source for the heat transfer oil. The side of the heating chamber 4 is connected to the heating pipe 401 and the return oil pipe 402, and the heating pipe 401 is connected to the heating pipe 401 and the connecting pipe 601, and the return oil pipe 402 is connected to the discharge pipe 7.
[0034] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 An anti-rolling rod 101 is connected between the two groups of support frames 1. The anti-rolling rod 101 is located outside the tangent position of the soft roller 2 and the hard roller 5. The bottom end of the support frame 1 is connected to the base 8, and the heating chamber 4 is installed on the top of the base 8. The hard roller 5 is rotatably connected to the base 8, which is convenient for limiting and fixing the calender.
[0035] See also Figures 5 to 7The top of the cleaning mechanism 3 is connected to a scraper 301, and the scraper 301 is in contact with the outer wall of the hard roller 5, and the bottom end of the cleaning mechanism 3 is provided with a discharge chute 302, and a recovery box 304 is provided below the cleaning mechanism 3, and the recovery box 304 is located below the scraper 301 and the discharge chute 302, and the recovery box 304 recovers impurities. A plurality of pairs of nozzles 303 are installed inside the side of the cleaning mechanism 3 away from the scraper 301, and each pair of nozzles 303 is arranged on the inner wall of the nozzle head 303 from top to bottom, and the spacing between each pair of nozzles 303 also gradually increases from bottom to top. The outer side of the bottom end of the cleaning mechanism 3 is connected to an air distribution pipe 306, and the air distribution pipe 306 is connected to each pair of nozzles 303. The side of the air distribution pipe 306 is connected to an air inlet pipe 305, and the air inlet pipe 305 is connected to an external high-pressure air source, which can conveniently clean the hard roller, and the temperature of the hard roller will not be reduced too much during the cleaning process.
[0036] See also Figure 4 Through holes are provided on both sides of the recovery pipe 701, and the heat transfer oil inside the heating chamber 501 enters the interior of the recovery pipe 701 through the through holes.
[0037] When using the calender, first connect the calender to an external power source (such as a motor or other structure), then insert the artificial leather to be processed between the soft roller 2 and the hard roller 5, and drive the soft roller 2 and the hard roller 5 to rotate through the power source to calender the artificial leather. At the same time, start the multiple sets of heating plates in the heating chamber 4 to heat the heat-conducting oil in the heating chamber 4, and then start the oil pump on one side of the heating chamber 4 to inject the heat-conducting oil into the connecting pipe 601 through the heating pipe 401. The connecting pipe 601 is connected to the inside of the central shaft 6, so that the heated heat-conducting oil enters the central shaft 6 and is discharged through the ejection groove 602 at the top of the central shaft 6. The ejection groove 602 is aligned with the top of the hard roller 5 (or is at a position where the calendered material and the hard roller 5 are in contact. The present invention uses the hard roller 5 top position for example), so that the heated heat-conducting oil can heat the artificial leather in the calendering process, and then the heated heat-conducting oil will pass through the heating layer 502 formed by the inner wall of the hard roller 5 and the extrusion plate 603, so that the flow of the heat-conducting oil is reduced, and the contact area between the heat-conducting oil and the inner wall of the hard roller 5 is fully increased, so that most of the heat of the heat-conducting oil can be used to heat the artificial leather through the top of the hard roller 5, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency of the heat-conducting oil and reducing heat waste. The remaining heat-conducting oil enters the heating chamber 501, continuously keeping the hard roller 5 warm, and then the heat-conducting oil is collected into the discharge pipe 7 through the recovery pipe 701. The discharge pipe 7 is connected to the return oil pipe 402, so that the cooled heat-conducting oil returns to the heating chamber 4 for heating, thereby realizing a heating cycle;
[0038] In the process of calendering the artificial leather, some impurities will remain on the outer surface of the hard roller 5. The hard roller 5 with impurities rotates to the side of the cleaning mechanism 3, and the impurities on the surface of the hard roller 5 are scraped off by the scraper 301. The impurities fall into the recovery box 304. If parallel inclined grooves are opened on the surface of the hard roller 5, some impurities will remain inside the parallel inclined grooves. At this time, the hard roller 5 continues to rotate, and the impurities are brought to the position of the multiple groups of nozzles 303. A sufficient amount of high-pressure gas is increased in the air distribution pipe 306 through the air inlet pipe 305. The high-pressure gas will be ejected through the nozzle 303, and the multiple groups of nozzles 303 will be discharged from the cleaning mechanism 3. The bottom end to the top end of the processing mechanism 3 are tilted in sequence, and multiple groups of nozzles 303 are arranged in parallel, and the spacing between the nozzles 303 at higher positions gradually increases. When the hard roller 5 is aligned with the nozzle head 303 at the lowest end, the nozzle head 303 blows and cleans the parallel inclined grooves in the middle part of the hard roller 5. Then the hard roller 5 continues to rotate and aligns with the multiple groups of nozzles 303 with increasing spacing in sequence. The multiple groups of nozzles 303 also blow and clean the parallel inclined grooves of the hard roller 5, so that impurities are discharged from the parallel inclined grooves and finally enter the recovery box 304 through the discharge chute 302, which is convenient for cleaning the hard roller 5.
[0039] And when the cleaning mechanism 3 is installed above the heating chamber 4, the air flow enters the multi-component air pipe 306, and the air flow can be heated by the waste heat generated by the heating chamber 4, so that the temperature of the air flow sprayed on the outside of the hard roller 5 will not be too low, reducing the cooling of the hard roller 5, and no additional heating energy is needed, which plays a role in energy saving.
