Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sponge production technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge automated production system and method. Background Technology

[0002] With my country's rapid economic development, people's lives have improved dramatically in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and sponges have become everyday necessities. A sponge is a porous material. Commonly used sponges are made from wood cellulose fibers or foamed plastic polymers, while natural sponges made from sponge animals also exist. Most natural sponges are used for body cleaning or painting. In addition, there are three other types of synthetic sponges made from materials such as low-density polyether, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyester. Due to its softness, sponges have a wide range of applications in daily life and production, such as furniture, mattresses, massage equipment manufacturing, decorative materials, automotive accessories, and packaging materials.

[0003] Patent document CN208484312U discloses a flame-retardant sponge, comprising a sponge layer, and further comprising a flame-retardant layer, a high-resilience layer, a moisture-absorbing sponge layer, and an anti-slip and wear-resistant layer sequentially disposed on the bottom end face of the sponge layer; anti-slip protrusions are fixedly provided on the bottom end face of the sponge layer; anti-slip grooves are formed on the top end faces of the flame-retardant layer, the high-resilience layer, and the moisture-absorbing sponge layer, and anti-slip protrusions are fixedly provided on the bottom end faces of the flame-retardant layer, the high-resilience layer, and the moisture-absorbing sponge layer; the anti-slip protrusions on the sponge layer cooperate with the anti-slip grooves on the flame-retardant layer, the anti-slip protrusions on the flame-retardant layer cooperate with the anti-slip grooves on the high-resilience layer, the anti-slip protrusions on the high-resilience layer cooperate with the anti-slip grooves on the moisture-absorbing sponge layer, and the anti-slip protrusions on the moisture-absorbing sponge layer cooperate with the anti-slip grooves on the top end face of the anti-slip and wear-resistant layer; the sponge layer, the flame-retardant layer, the high-resilience layer, the moisture-absorbing sponge layer, and the anti-slip and wear-resistant layer are sequentially fixed together by an adhesive.

[0004] However, in actual production and use, the inventors found that the existing flame-retardant sponge production process generates a lot of waste material, which is wasteful of materials and detrimental to environmental protection; the installation between the flame-retardant layer, the high-resilience layer, and the sponge bottom layer is difficult, resulting in low production efficiency and poor stability during use; the high-resilience layer has poor flame retardancy, which poses a safety hazard during use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by incorporating a conveying mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a coating mechanism, a filling mechanism, and an adhesive applicator to achieve automated production and assembly of environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponges. This results in high production efficiency. By filling the first sponge body with elastic tubes and flame-retardant materials, the first sponge body gains high resilience and flame retardancy, while also supporting the protrusions and locking the grooves, improving the stability of the environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge. The grooving component, in conjunction with the first conveying component, the second conveying component, the forming component, and the pressing component, automates the filling of the elastic tubes and flame-retardant materials, further improving production efficiency. The grooving component, in conjunction with the forming component, reprocesses the excavated waste material into caps. The cutting component directly cuts the first and second sponge bodies from the sponge raw material, avoiding the generation of excess waste and achieving environmentally friendly production.

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figure 1-18 As shown, an environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge automated production system includes:

[0052] The system includes: a conveying mechanism 1 for conveying sponge raw materials; a cutting mechanism 2 for cutting a first sponge body 61 and a second sponge body 62 from the sponge raw materials; a coating mechanism 3 for applying a flame-retardant layer 63 between the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62; a filling mechanism 4 for filling an elastic tube 64 and a flame-retardant material 66 into the first sponge body 61; and an adhesive coating mechanism 5 for applying adhesive between the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62 to bond them together into an environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge 6.

[0053] The filling mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 41 disposed outside the conveying mechanism 1, a grooving assembly 42 disposed on the mounting frame 41 for grooving a filling groove 612 in the first sponge 61, a first conveying assembly 43 disposed on the mounting frame 41 for conveying the elastic tube 64, a second conveying assembly 44 disposed on the mounting frame 41 for conveying the flame retardant material 66, a forming assembly 45 disposed on the grooving assembly 42 for forming the waste material grooved by the grooving assembly 42 into a cap 65, and a pressing assembly 46 disposed on the mounting frame 41 for pressing the elastic tube 64 and the cap 65 into the filling groove 612.

[0054] The environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge 6 includes a first sponge body 61 with protrusions 611, a second sponge body 62 with grooves 621 adapted to the protrusions 611, a flame-retardant layer 63 disposed between the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62, an elastic tube 64 filled inside the first sponge body 61 and used to support the first sponge body 61 and the protrusions 611, and a flame-retardant material 66 filled inside the elastic tube 64.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting up a conveying mechanism 1 in conjunction with a cutting mechanism 2, a coating mechanism 3, a filling mechanism 4, and an adhesive applicator 5, the automated production and assembly of the environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge 6 is achieved, resulting in high production efficiency. By setting up a grooving component 42 in conjunction with a first conveying component 43, a second conveying component 44, a forming component 45, and a pressing component 46, the automated filling of the elastic tube 64 and the flame-retardant material 66 is achieved, further improving production efficiency. The grooving component 42, in conjunction with the forming component 45, reprocesses the excavated waste material into caps 65. The cutting component directly cuts out the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62 from the sponge raw material, avoiding the generation of excess waste and achieving environmentally friendly production.

[0056] In addition, by setting the elastic tube 64 to support the first sponge body 61 and the protrusion 611, the first sponge body 61 has high resilience, and the protrusion 611 is clamped in the groove 621, which improves the stability of the environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge 6. By filling the first sponge body 61 with flame-retardant material 66, its flame retardancy is improved.

[0057] In detail, during use, the cutting mechanism 2, together with the conveying mechanism 1, firstly cuts the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62 from the sponge raw material. Then, after the cutting mechanism 2 separates the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62, the coating mechanism 3 applies a flame-retardant layer 63 between the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62. Then, the grooving component 42 excavates the filling groove 612 and, together with the molding component 45, shapes the waste material into a cap 65. Then, together with the first conveying component 43, the second conveying component 44, and the pressing component 46, the elastic tube 64, the flame-retardant material 66, and the cap 65 are sequentially filled into the filling groove 612. Finally, after the flame-retardant layer 63 from the coating and filling processes dries, the gluing mechanism 5, together with the cutting mechanism 2, applies glue between the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62 to bond them together into an environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge 6.

[0058] It should be noted that there are multiple grooving components 42, first conveying components 43, forming components 45, and pressing components 46 to improve production efficiency.

[0059] Additionally, a drying structure (which is the same as the drying assembly 33 of the coating mechanism 3 and is existing technology, and is not shown in the attached drawings) can be moved on the mounting bracket 41.

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 4-8 As shown, the grooving assembly 42 includes a grooving blade 421 that is movably mounted on the mounting frame 41 for digging out the waste material, a gripping member 422 that is movably mounted on the mounting frame 41 in a direction close to or away from the conveying mechanism 1 for gripping the waste material, and a support plate 423 mounted on the mounting frame 41 for carrying the waste material.

[0061] In this embodiment, the grooving cutter 421 is used in conjunction with the gripper 422 to excavate the filling groove 612 and remove the waste material. The bearing plate 423 is used to support the waste material so that it can be used in conjunction with the molding component 45 for subsequent processing.

[0062] It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific structure of the gripper 422; the following is only one structure for reference, for example:

[0063] The gripper 422 includes two gripping plates 4221 that can open and close into an arc-shaped structure, thereby clamping and gripping the waste, the cap 65, and the elastic tube 64.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 4-10 As shown, the carrier plate 423 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 41, and a first positioning groove 4231 for positioning waste material is provided through the carrier plate 423;

[0065] The forming component 45 includes a first cutter 451 disposed below the support plate 423 and cooperating with the movement of the support plate 423 to cut short waste material to form a cap 65; two second cutters 452 movably disposed in the first positioning groove 4231 and cooperating with each other to cut annular cutting edges on the cap 65; and a third cutter 453 movably disposed on the support plate 423 and cooperating with the second cutters 452 to cut a locking block 651 on the cap 65, wherein the locking block 651 is engaged with the inner annular surface of the elastic tube 64.

[0066] In this embodiment, the cap 65 is formed by the movement of the first cutter 451 in conjunction with the support plate 423, the opening and closing block is formed by the second cutter 452 in conjunction with the third cutter 453, and the connection stability of the cap 65 is improved by the locking block 651 locking onto the elastic tube 64.

[0067] In detail, firstly, the gripper 422 grips the waste material into the first positioning groove 4231. Then, the carrier plate 423 moves, and the first cutter 451 cuts the waste material into a cap 65. Finally, the two second cutters 452 move and cooperate to cut annular cutting edges on the cap 65. Then, the third cutter 453 moves upward to cut the cap 65 until it comes into contact with the second cutters 452 and cuts out a locking block 651 on the cap 65.

[0068] It should be noted that the driving structure for the cutting movement of the first cutter 451 and the second cutter 452 is not limited. The following only provides the moving structure for reference, for example:

[0069] The drive structure includes a telescopic rod 454 disposed on the support plate 423 and used to push the third cutter 453 to move up and down, and a guide groove 455 disposed on the telescopic rod 454 and used to drive the two second cutters 452 to open and close as the telescopic rod 454 extends and retracts.

[0070] When the telescopic rod 454 pushes the guide groove 455 to force the two second cutters 452 to close and cut out annular cutting edges, the telescopic rod 454 pushes the third cutter 453 through the clearance groove 4511 on the first cutter 451 into the first positioning groove 4231 to cut out the locking block 651. When the telescopic rod 454 pushes the third cutter 453 to move downward and exit the first positioning groove 4231, the first cutter 451 is able to limit the residual material formed by cutting out the locking block 651 and move out with the third cutter 453 to avoid interfering with the next cutting.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 4-8 As shown, the first conveying assembly 43 includes a raw material roller 431 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 41 for storing the raw material of the elastic tube 64, a conveying roller 432 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 41 for conveying the raw material of the elastic tube 64 on the raw material roller 431 to the second positioning groove 4232 on the bearing plate 423, and a fourth cutter 433 movably mounted between the bearing plate 423 and the conveying roller 432 and positioned in conjunction with the second positioning groove 4232 for cutting out the elastic tube 64.

[0072] In this embodiment, by setting the raw material roller 431 in conjunction with the conveying roller 432 and the fourth cutter 433, the elastic tube 64 of equal length can be conveyed into the second positioning groove 4232, avoiding misaligned cutting that would cause material leakage at the lower end of the elastic tube 64, and facilitating the subsequent gripping by the gripper 422 and the filling of the elastic tube 64.

[0073] In detail, the raw material on the raw material roller 431 is conveyed into the second positioning groove 4232 by the conveying roller 432 until one end of the raw material abuts the bottom of the second positioning groove 4232. Then, the fourth cutter 433 cuts out elastic tubes 64 of equal length, which are then gripped by the gripper 422 and pressed into the filling groove 612 by the pressing component 46.

[0074] It should be noted that when the carrier plate 423 moves and cooperates with the first cutter 451 to cut out the cap 65, the second positioning groove 4232 is located directly below the conveyor roller 432 to receive the elastic tube 64. When the carrier plate 423 moves and resets, the elastic tube 64 moves out from below the conveyor roller along with the carrier plate 423, which facilitates the gripping of the gripper 422.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figure 4-8 As shown, the second conveying assembly 44 includes a hopper 441 disposed on the mounting frame 41 for storing flame retardant material 66, a cover plate 442 slidably disposed on the hopper 441 for controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port 4411 on the hopper 441, and a first elastic member 443 disposed on the hopper 441 for forcing the cover plate 442 to close the discharge port 4411.

[0076] The pressing assembly 46 includes a pressing post 461 that is movably disposed on the gripper 422 and pushes the cover plate 442 to open the discharge port 4411 as the gripper 422 moves; a receiving groove 462 formed on the pressing post 461 for receiving flame retardant material 66; an opening and closing plate 463 rotatably disposed below the pressing post 461 for controlling the opening and closing of the receiving groove 462; and a second elastic member disposed on the opening and closing plate 463 for forcing the opening and closing plate 463 to close the receiving groove 462.

[0077] In this embodiment, by setting a cover plate 442 in conjunction with the first elastic element 443 and the pressing column 461 to move as the gripping member 422 grips the elastic tube 64, the cover plate 442 is forced to control the opening and closing of the discharge port 4411, thereby filling the receiving groove 462 with flame-retardant material 66. By setting an opening and closing plate 463 in conjunction with the second elastic element and the pressing column 461 to move up and down, the opening and closing plate 463 is forced to control the opening and closing of the receiving groove 462, so that flame-retardant material 66 is quantitatively filled into the elastic tube 64 while pressing it. The whole process has high production continuity, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0078] In detail, during use, firstly, as the gripper 422 moves towards the bearing plate 423 to grip the elastic tube 64, the pressing column 461 moves with the gripper 422 and forces the cover plate 442 to open. The first elastic element 443 is compressed, allowing the outlet 4411 to fill the receiving groove 462 with flame-retardant material 66. Then, when the gripper 422 moves towards the conveying mechanism 1, the first elastic element 443 returns to its original shape and closes the cover plate 442. Then, when the gripper assembly 15 inserts one end of the elastic tube 64 into the filling groove 612, the pressing column 461 moves downward to press the elastic tube 64, forcing the opening and closing plate 463 to open. The second elastic element is compressed, allowing a certain amount of flame-retardant material 66 in the receiving groove 462 to fill the elastic tube 64. Finally, the pressing column 461 moves upward to reset and cooperates with the gripper 422 to cover the filling groove 612 with the cap 65. At this time, the second elastic element returns to its original shape, forcing the opening and closing plate 463 to close.

[0079] It should be noted that the first elastic element 443 and the second elastic element (such as a coil spring, torsion spring, etc.) and their installation methods are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0080] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a rotating disk 11, a bearing chamber 12 disposed on the rotating disk 11 for carrying sponge raw materials, a chamber door 13 disposed on the bearing chamber 12 for controlling the opening and closing of the bearing chamber 12, and a pressing plate 14 movable inside the bearing chamber 12 and used to compress the sponge raw materials in conjunction with the closing of the chamber door 13.

[0081] In this embodiment, a rotating disk 11 is set up to cooperate with the bearing chamber 12 to position and convey the sponge raw material, which is convenient for processing with other mechanisms. A chamber door 13 is set up to cooperate with the extrusion plate 14 to extrude the sponge raw material, so as to avoid the sponge raw material from deforming and shifting during the cutting mechanism 2, which would affect subsequent processing and result in defective products.

[0082] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the automation of the device, the conveying mechanism 1 also includes a gripping component (which is prior art and is not shown in the attached drawings, so it will not be described in detail here) located on the outside of the rotating disk 11 for gripping and conveying the sponge raw material and the environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge 6. The carrying chamber 12 is provided with a baffle 122 that cooperates with the opening and positioning of the chamber door 13 and guides the sponge raw material into the carrying chamber 12, so that the gripping component can put the sponge raw material into the carrying chamber 12.

[0083] Furthermore, such as Figure 12-17 As shown, the cutting mechanism 2 includes a first cutting component 21 that is movably disposed within the cutting opening 121 on the bearing chamber 12 and used to cut out a first sponge body 61 from the sponge material, and a second cutting component 22 that is movably disposed within the cutting opening 121 below the first cutting component 21 and used to cut out a second sponge body 62 from the sponge material.

[0084] In this embodiment, by setting a movable first cutting component 21 in conjunction with a movable second cutting component 22, it is possible to directly cut the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62 from the sponge raw material, and also to control the separation and combination between the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62.

[0085] It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific structure of the coating mechanism 3; only one structure is provided below for reference, for example:

[0086] The bearing chamber 12 is provided with a coating door 123 that can be opened and closed and is used for the coating structure to enter and exit the bearing chamber 12. After the coating door 123 is opened, it cooperates with the chamber door 13 and the baffle 122 to position and guide the sponge raw material into the bearing chamber 12.

[0087] The coating mechanism 3 includes a paint tank 31 disposed outside the rotating disk, a spray pipe 32 movably disposed above the paint tank 31 for spraying paint onto the second sponge 62, and a drying assembly 33 disposed on the spray pipe 32 and moving with the spray pipe 32 for drying the flame retardant layer 63 (which is prior art and will not be described in detail here).

[0088] Furthermore, such as Figure 13-16As shown, the first cutting assembly 21 includes a first cutting blade 211 movably disposed within the cutting opening 121, a second cutting blade 212 movably disposed below the first cutting blade 211, and two third cutting blades 213, one end of which is rotatably connected to each other and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the first cutting blade 211 and the second cutting blade 212 respectively. The two third cutting blades 213 can rotate to a mutually perpendicular state or a parallel state as the first cutting blade 211 and / or the second cutting blade 212 move.

[0089] The second cutting assembly 22 includes a fourth cutting blade 221 that is movably disposed within the cutting opening 121 and a positioning plate 222 disposed on the fourth cutting blade 221 and used in conjunction with the bearing chamber 12 to position the second sponge body 62.

[0090] In this embodiment, by setting the first cutting blade 211 in conjunction with the second cutting blade 212, the two second cutting blades 212 are controlled to rotate to a mutually perpendicular state or a parallel state. In the perpendicular state, the two third cutting blades 213, together with the first cutting blade 211 and the second cutting blade 212, can cut out the protrusion 611. In the parallel state, the two second cutting blades 212 form a guide structure, which facilitates insertion into the groove 621, thereby facilitating the installation between the first sponge 61 and the second sponge 62.

[0091] By providing a positioning plate 222 on the fourth cutting blade 221, the second sponge 62 is prevented from being pushed out of the cutting opening 121 when the first cutting assembly 21 and the coating mechanism 3 move.

[0092] In detail, when cutting the sponge material, the first cutting blade 211, in conjunction with the second cutting blade 212, controls the two third cutting blades 213 to rotate to a mutually perpendicular state, and then, in conjunction with the fourth cutting blade 433, cuts out the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62 with protrusions 611. When the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62 are connected, the first cutting blade 211, in conjunction with the second cutting blade 212, controls the two third cutting blades 213 to rotate to a mutually parallel state. The second cutting blade 212 acts as a guide, making it easy to insert into the groove 621, thereby facilitating the connection between the protrusion 611 and the groove 621.

[0093] It should be noted that during the process of the grooving blade 421 removing waste material, the second cutting blade 212, in conjunction with the closing of the chamber door 13, squeezes the first sponge body 61. When the grooving blade 421 moves downward and enters the bearing chamber 12 through the notch 131 on the chamber door 13 until it comes into contact with the second cutting blade 212 and removes the waste material, the waste material rebounds and extends from the upper end of the grooving blade 421, so that the gripper 422 can grab it. In addition, the process of the second cutting blade 212, in conjunction with the closing of the chamber door 13, squeezing the first sponge body 61 can also check whether the installed cap 65 is secure, thus improving the product yield.

[0094] Furthermore, such as Figure 18 As shown, the glue application mechanism 5 includes a glue dispensing component 51 disposed outside the conveying mechanism 1, a first glue dispensing pipe 52 with one end connected to the glue dispensing component 51 and the other end connected to the first glue dispensing port 424 on the grooving component 42, and a second glue dispensing pipe 53 with one end connected to the glue dispensing component 51 and the other end detachably connected to the second glue dispensing port 23 on the cutting mechanism 2.

[0095] In this embodiment, by setting up the glue dispensing assembly 51 in conjunction with the first glue dispensing tube 52 and the second glue dispensing tube 53, glue can be applied between the filling groove 612 and between the first sponge 61 and the second sponge 62, so that the cap 65 is bonded to the filling groove 612 and between the first sponge 61 and the second sponge 62.

[0096] In detail, the first adhesive outlet 424 is formed on the grooving blade 421. When the grooving blade 421 exits the filling groove 612, the first adhesive outlet 424 simultaneously applies adhesive to the inner wall of the filling groove 612 to adhere the cap 65. The second adhesive outlet 23 is formed on the first cutting blade 211 and the second cutting blade 212. When the first cutting blade 211 and the second cutting blade 212 exit the cutting opening 121, the second adhesive outlet 23 simultaneously applies adhesive between the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62 and between the protrusion 611 and the groove 621.

[0097] It should be noted that the dispensing component 51 and its installation method are existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0098] Example 2

[0099] like Figure 1-18 As shown, a production method for an automated production system for environmentally friendly flame-retardant sponge 6 includes the following steps:

[0100] Step 1: Cutting process, the cutting mechanism 2, together with the conveying mechanism 1, cuts the first sponge body 61 and the second sponge body 62 from the sponge raw material;

[0101] Step 2: Coating process. After the cutting mechanism 2 separates the first sponge 61 and the second sponge 62, the coating mechanism 3 applies a flame retardant layer 63 between the first sponge 61 and the second sponge 62.

[0102] Step 3: Filling process. After the grooving component 42 excavates the filling groove 612 and the molding component 45 shapes the waste material into a cap 65, the elastic tube 64, flame retardant material 66 and cap 65 are sequentially filled into the filling groove 612 in sequence with the first conveying component 43, the second conveying component 44 and the pressing component 46.

[0103] Step 4: Glue application process. After the flame retardant layer 63 has dried through the coating and filling processes, the glue application mechanism 5, in conjunction with the cutting mechanism 2, applies glue between the first sponge 61 and the second sponge 62 to bond them together into an environmentally friendly flame retardant sponge 6.
