Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cutting technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly cutting device for vertical contours of sponges. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of sponges used in industrial production, including foamed cotton, molded cotton, rubber cotton, and memory foam. The main process of sponge manufacturing is cutting the vertical contour of the sponge to improve the use of the sponge and thus improve the manufacturing efficiency of sponge cutting equipment. This paper provides technical inspiration for sponge cutting equipment.

[0003] The study of sponge cutting devices revealed the following problems:

[0004] When a sponge cutting device cuts a sponge, it uses a cutting blade to cut the sponge. However, sponges vary in shape and have different required shapes, including curved outlines. During the cutting process, the cutting blade cannot cut the curved outlines of the sponge, which reduces the usability of the sponge and thus fails to achieve the goal of improving the cutting efficiency of the sponge cutting device.

[0005] Currently, the prior art CN109203033A discloses a device for cutting circular block sponges. This invention uses an arc-shaped cutting head and an annular cutting blade that can rotate around a fixed guide post to cut the sponge. This ensures that the sponge is cut into a perfect circle. At the same time, small saw teeth can cut the sponge along the moving trajectory of the annular cutting blade. The connection distance of the small saw teeth is long enough to cut the sponge to the end in one cut without having to start cutting again midway. This avoids unevenness in the cut surface and improves the processing quality.

[0006] This invention primarily addresses the problem that the curved contour of a sponge cannot be cut during the cutting process, thus preventing the sponge from meeting the requirements for improved performance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an environmentally friendly vertical contour cutting device for sponges, thereby resolving the issues described in the background section.

[0008] The purpose and effectiveness of the sponge vertical contour environmentally friendly cutting device of the present invention are achieved by the following specific technical means: The sponge vertical contour environmentally friendly cutting device includes a cutting blade. A drive assembly for circular motion is installed on the top of the cutting blade. The drive assembly includes a drive shaft, a slider, a vertical plate, a collar, a transmission disc, a motor housing, and a fixed rod. A collar is installed on the top of the drive shaft. A transmission disc is provided on the inner side of the collar. A motor housing is installed on one end of the transmission disc. A fixed rod is connected to the bottom of the motor housing. A vertical plate is connected to the end of the fixed rod away from the motor housing. A slider is provided on the inner side of the vertical plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a drive shaft is connected to the top center of the cutting blade, and sliders are connected to both the top left and top right sides of the cutting blade.

[0010] Furthermore, the vertical plate has a groove matching the slider on the side near the drive shaft, and the two vertical plates are symmetrically arranged at the center of the cutting blade, with the drive shaft located between the two vertical plates.

[0011] Furthermore, the transmission disc is U-shaped, with a collar nested at the bottom of the U-shape, and an actuating component for adjusting the angle is connected to the end of the transmission disc away from the motor housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the actuating assembly includes a housing, a drive rod, a sleeve, a throttle, a transmission rod, a cross claw, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a connecting shaft, a third bevel gear, a fourth bevel gear, and a lead screw. The housing contains a connecting shaft, one end of which is fitted with a second bevel gear. The outer side of the second bevel gear is fitted with a first bevel gear. The bottom of the first bevel gear is connected to a drive rod, the outer side of the drive rod is connected to a sleeve, the outer side of the sleeve is fitted with a throttle, one end of which is connected to a third bevel gear. The outer side of the third bevel gear is fitted with a fourth bevel gear, the bottom of the fourth bevel gear is connected to a lead screw, the outer side of the lead screw is fitted with a transmission rod, and the bottom of the transmission rod is fitted with a cross claw.

[0013] Furthermore, the sleeve is hollow, with a through hole on its outer side that matches the throttle, and the upper part of the inner wall of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer side of the drive rod.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the throttle is embedded inside the sleeve through a through hole on the outer side of the sleeve and connected to the third bevel gear. The third bevel gear and the fourth bevel gear are meshed, and the fourth bevel gear is located at the center inside the sleeve.

[0015] Furthermore, the dimensions of the transmission rod are matched with those of the sleeve, and a threaded hole matching the lead screw is provided at one end of the transmission rod near the sleeve.

[0016] Furthermore, the cross claw is arranged in an "X" shape at the bottom of the transmission rod. Its initial state is located on one side of the cutting blade. The cross claw and the cutting blade are not on the same horizontal line, and the former's horizontal line is higher than the latter's horizontal line.

[0017] Furthermore, the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are meshed, and the second bevel gear is connected to one end of the transmission disk via a connecting shaft.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Rotating the throttle causes the third bevel gear to drive the fourth bevel gear to rotate, and the fourth bevel gear simultaneously drives the lead screw to rotate. When the lead screw rotates, a threaded hole matching the lead screw is opened at one end of the transmission rod. Thus, after the lead screw rotates, it drives the transmission rod to move downward. At this time, the transmission rod pushes the cross claw to be aligned with the horizontal line of the cutting blade.

[0020] 2. The transmission disc causes the connecting shaft to rotate the second bevel gear, which in turn drives the first bevel gear to rotate. The first bevel gear drives the sleeve to rotate via the drive rod, and the sleeve drives the cross claw to rotate via the transmission rod. During this process, the cutting blade follows the transmission disc in a vertical reciprocating motion to cut the sponge. As the cutting blade cuts the sponge, the cross claw slowly pushes the sponge to rotate. With the continuous vertical movement of the cutting blade, the sponge is cut, thus completing the arc-shaped cut required by the sponge and improving the performance of the sponge.

[0021] 3. The drive shaft drives the cutting blade to reciprocate within the two vertical plates via the sliders on the top left and right sides. This causes the cutting blade to be limited by the sliders and to reciprocate up and down via the transmission plate. During this process, the transmission plate also drives the actuating component to move, thereby enabling the cutting blade to cut the vertical contour of the sponge, thus improving the cutting efficiency of the sponge cutting device.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 As shown:

[0034] Example 1

[0035] The sponge vertical contour environmental protection cutting device includes a cutting blade 1. The top of the cutting blade 1 is equipped with a drive assembly for circular motion. The drive assembly includes a drive shaft 101, a slider 102, a vertical plate 103, a collar 104, a transmission disc 105, a motor box 160, and a fixing rod 107.

[0036] A collar 104 is mounted on the top of the drive shaft 101. A transmission disc 105 is provided on the inner side of the collar 104. A motor housing 106 is mounted on one end of the transmission disc 105. A fixing rod 107 is connected to the bottom of the motor housing 106. A vertical plate 103 is connected to the end of the fixing rod 107 away from the motor housing 106. A slider 102 is provided on the inner side of the vertical plate 103.

[0037] Among them, the cutting blade 1 has a drive shaft 101 connected to the top center of the cutting blade 1, and sliders 102 are connected to the top left and top right of the cutting blade 1.

[0038] The vertical plate 103 has a groove on the side of the vertical plate 103 that matches the slider 102. The two vertical plates 103 are symmetrically arranged at the center of the cutting blade 1, and the driving shaft 101 is arranged between the two vertical plates 103.

[0039] The transmission disc 105 is U-shaped, with a collar 104 nested at the bottom of the U-shape. The end of the transmission disc 105 away from the motor housing 106 is connected to a toggle assembly for adjusting the angle.

[0040] The servo motor inside the control motor box 106 is started to drive the transmission disk 105 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission disk 105 drives the collar 104 to move in a circular motion through its "U"-shaped bottom. The collar 104 simultaneously drives the outer side drive shaft 101 to move. During the rotation of the transmission disk 105, it is connected to the collar 104 through the "U"-shaped bottom, so that the drive shaft 101 keeps in a downward position. At the same time, the drive shaft 101 drives the cutting blade 1 to reciprocate inside the two vertical plates 103 through the sliders 102 on the top left and right sides. The cutting blade 1 is limited by the sliders 102 and moves up and down through the transmission disk 105. During this process, the transmission disk 105 will also drive the toggle component to move, so that the cutting blade 1 cuts the vertical contour of the sponge.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the actuating assembly includes a housing 2, a drive rod 201, a sleeve 202, a throttle 203, a transmission rod 204, a cross pawl 205, a first bevel gear 206, a second bevel gear 207, a connecting shaft 208, a third bevel gear 209, a fourth bevel gear 210, and a lead screw 211. The housing 2 contains the connecting shaft 208, one end of which is fitted with the second bevel gear 207. The outer surface of the second bevel gear 207 is fitted with the first bevel gear. 206, the bottom of the first bevel gear 206 is connected to a drive rod 201, the outer side of the drive rod 201 is connected to a sleeve 202, the outer side of the sleeve 202 is provided with a handle 203, one end of the handle 203 is connected to a third bevel gear 209, the outer side of the third bevel gear 209 is provided with a fourth bevel gear 210, the bottom of the fourth bevel gear 210 is connected to a lead screw 211, the outer side of the lead screw 211 is provided with a transmission rod 204, and the bottom of the transmission rod 204 is equipped with a cross claw 205;

[0043] Among them, the sleeve 202 is hollow, and its outer side is provided with a through hole that matches the handle 203. The upper part of the inner wall of the sleeve 202 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the drive rod 201.

[0044] The throttle 203 has one end inserted into the sleeve 202 through the through hole on the outer side and connected to the third bevel gear 209. The third bevel gear 209 is meshed with the fourth bevel gear 210, and the fourth bevel gear 210 is located at the center inside the sleeve 202.

[0045] The transmission rod 204 is matched with the internal dimensions of the sleeve 202. The end of the transmission rod 204 near the sleeve 202 has a threaded hole that matches the lead screw 211.

[0046] Cross claw 205 is arranged in an "X" shape at the bottom of transmission rod 204. Its initial state is located on one side of cutting blade 1. Cross claw 205 and cutting blade 1 are not on the same horizontal line, and the former's horizontal line is higher than the latter's horizontal line.

[0047] The first bevel gear 206 is meshed with the second bevel gear 207, and the second bevel gear 207 is connected to one end of the transmission disk 105 via the connecting shaft 208.

[0048] Before cutting the sponge, observe its shape for curvature. Rotate the handle 203 to drive the third bevel gear 209, which in turn drives the fourth bevel gear 210. The fourth bevel gear 210 simultaneously drives the lead screw 211. When the lead screw 211 rotates, a threaded hole matching the lead screw 211 is provided at one end of the transmission rod 204. As the lead screw 211 rotates, it drives the transmission rod 204 downwards. The transmission rod 204 then pushes the cross claw 205 until it aligns with the horizontal line of the cutting blade 1. Subsequently, the servo motor in the motor housing 106 drives the transmission disc 105, causing the connecting shaft 208 to drive the second bevel gear 207. The second bevel gear 207 then drives the first bevel gear 206. A bevel gear 206 drives the sleeve 202 to rotate via the drive rod 201. Simultaneously, the sleeve 202 drives the cross claw 205 to rotate via the transmission rod 204. During this process, the cutting blade 1 follows the transmission disc 105 in a vertical reciprocating motion to cut the sponge. As the cutting blade 1 cuts the sponge, the cross claw 205 slowly pushes the sponge to rotate. As the cutting blade 1 continues to move vertically to cut the sponge, the required arc-shaped cut is completed. When the arc is not needed, the handle 203 is rotated in the opposite direction. The handle 203 drives the third bevel gear 209, which causes the fourth bevel gear 210 to drive the lead screw 211 to reverse. As a result, the lead screw 211 drives the cross claw 205 to move upward via the transmission rod 204, thereby completing the vertical contour cutting of the sponge.

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical application of the invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention and to design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
