TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of paper pulp production, in particular to a paper pulp molding automatic production system and working method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the existing system, each link of the paper tray production is manually processed. After the paper tray is molded by the molding machine, it needs to be processed by the drying system, the humidifying system and the hot pressing system. Due to the slight performance degradation of the equipment after long-term use, a slight deviation is generated. At the same time, due to the characteristics of the raw materials, the raw materials have slight differences in density and thickness, which will also cause deviations in the humidity of the processed products. Due to the accumulation of errors in each link, the humidity of each paper tray is different. Since the humidifying system cannot independently adapt to the humidity of each paper tray, the humidity of each independent paper tray is inconsistent. If the humidity does not reach the set value, it will affect the temperature distribution of the entire paper tray in the hot pressing system. The humidity of the paper tray is not enough to make it fully softened and deformed in the hot pressing system, resulting in that the strength and shape do not meet the requirements. At the same time, insufficient or excessive humidity may cause uneven temperature distribution of the paper tray during hot pressing, thereby affecting the forming quality of the product.
[0003] At the same time, after hot pressing is completed, the appearance of the paper tray needs to be checked in time to ensure that there is no obvious damage. Whether the surface is flat, whether there are scratches or depressions, etc. Labeling is needed after the detection is qualified. At present, quality inspection and labeling are manually performed in different production lines, which needs to be moved again in the middle, resulting in low work efficiency.
