Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of comb manufacturing technology, and particularly relates to a modular comb and its processing method. Background Technology

[0002] The traditional bamboo comb manufacturing process mainly consists of seven parts: bamboo processing, bamboo grooving, bamboo splicing and gluing, comb face and side polishing, rough shaping, comb back shaping, and varnishing and polishing. Traditional bamboo comb production suffers from high labor intensity, large land area requirements, and low mechanization levels, which have become significant bottlenecks hindering the healthy and sustainable development of the bamboo comb industry. Currently, many hotels and guesthouses provide guests with disposable plastic combs, but these combs are simply discarded after use, posing a serious plastic pollution problem. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a modular comb designed to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0004] This invention is achieved as follows: a detachable comb, comprising a handle and comb teeth, wherein the handle and comb teeth are detachably connected; the handle is made of bamboo, and the comb teeth are made of biodegradable plastic.

[0005] Preferably, the back of the comb teeth is provided with a groove for engaging with the comb handle.

[0006] This invention also provides a method for processing the above-mentioned split-type comb, comprising the following steps:

[0007] a. Making the comb handle:

[0008] 1) Cut the bamboo into the designed dimensions;

[0009] 2) The cut bamboo is shaped in one go using a milling cutter, and then polished to obtain the comb handle.

[0010] b. Making the comb teeth:

[0011] 1) Prepare biodegradable plastic raw materials;

[0012] 2) After mixing the raw materials, add them to the injection molding equipment and injection mold to obtain comb teeth.

[0013] Preferably, the polished comb handle undergoes an antibacterial treatment, which includes the following steps:

[0014] Clean the impurities from the polished comb handle with ethanol vacuum ultrasonic for 20-30 minutes.

[0015] Then, steam is introduced to expand the holes, and after cooling, the holes are dried at 40-45℃, and then exposed to ultraviolet light for 5-10 minutes.

[0016] After irradiating the comb handle with ultraviolet light, place it into a culture dish and inject Acetobacter xylinum cellulose fermentation broth. Wrap it up and incubate it at 28-30℃ for 2-4 days. Remove the comb handle and wash it with deionized water 2-3 times.

[0017] The cleaned comb handle is immersed in an antibacterial finishing solution, vacuumed to below 0.01 MPa, ultrasonically treated for 10-20 minutes, and soaked for 3-5 hours. The bamboo raw material is then removed and irradiated with a dose of 10-20 kGy. Finally, the surface impurities are cleaned with deionized water and dried at 50-60℃ to obtain the finished comb handle.

[0018] Through antibacterial treatment, the bamboo comb handle acquires excellent antibacterial properties, preventing mold growth in humid conditions. First, impurities are removed, followed by steam pore-expanding to make the bamboo more porous and increase its surface area. Then, during fermentation, bacterial cellulose grows into the bamboo fibers, forming an interwoven network that improves the comb handle's mechanical properties. It also features a large storage space for the antibacterial finishing solution, exhibiting excellent adsorption. Combined with vacuum and ultrasonic assistance, the antibacterial finishing solution penetrates more fully into the bamboo, enhancing its antibacterial properties. Electron beam irradiation treatment further densifies the antibacterial layer on the comb handle surface, improving its water resistance and ensuring a tight bond with the handle, thus enhancing its antibacterial efficacy.

[0019] Preferably, the antibacterial finishing solution is prepared as follows: by weight, take 10-20 parts of chitosan and 8-12 parts of soy protein isolate, add the soy protein isolate to 40-50 parts of deionized water, then add 20-30 parts of ethanol, stir for 30-40 minutes, then add chitosan, and stir for 30-50 minutes to obtain the antibacterial finishing solution.

[0020] By adding chitosan, it has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. By adding soy protein isolate and using ethanol to end-cap the soy protein isolate to reduce the hydrophilic groups in the protein and improve water resistance, a hydrophobic antibacterial layer is formed on the bamboo, improving the antibacterial and anti-mildew effects.

[0021] Preferably, the biodegradable plastic comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 80-100 parts of polypropylene resin, 30-40 parts of polylactic acid, 25-35 parts of modified starch, 6-10 parts of modified mannitol, 1-2 parts of lubricant, and 0.5-1.5 parts of antistatic agent.

[0022] Preferably, the modified starch is prepared as follows: 20-30 parts by weight of corn starch are spread to a thickness of 0.2-0.5 cm and treated with electron beam irradiation at a dose of 80-100 kGy. Then, 1-3 parts of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 60-70 parts of deionized water are added and stirred for 1.5-2 hours. Next, 6-10 parts of maleic anhydride are added and mixed evenly. The mixture is stirred in a constant temperature water bath at 60-70℃ for 60-80 minutes. After filtration, the modified starch is spray-dried to obtain the modified starch. The corn starch is first treated with irradiation to shear and modify the macromolecular chain structure. Then, sodium dodecyl sulfate is added to remove the protein, which makes it easier for the molecular chains to move and rearrange, promoting the optimization of the starch structure. Finally, maleic anhydride is added for grafting reaction to form a stable network system and improve mechanical properties.

[0023] Preferably, the modified mannitol is prepared as follows: 5-10 parts by weight of mannitol are dissolved in 70-80 parts of deionized water, and 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid aqueous solution is added dropwise under stirring until the pH is 3-5, and stirring is continued for 1-2 hours; then 3-5 parts of dopamine hydrochloride are added, and the reaction is carried out in the dark for 1-3 hours under nitrogen protection. The solution after the reaction is dialyzed in deionized water and freeze-dried to obtain modified mannitol. By introducing chemically bonded dopamine into the mannitol structure, the dopamine groups undergo polymerization to form strong chemical bonds, thereby improving mechanical properties.

[0024] Preferably, the lubricant comprises one or more combinations of pentaerythritol, butyl stearate, and stearyl alcohol.

[0025] Preferably, the antistatic agent includes at least one of stearyltrimethylammonium chloride and stearyldimethylpentylammonium chloride.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following main advantages:

[0027] The detachable comb provided by this invention features a comb handle and comb teeth that are detachably connected. The comb handle is made of bamboo, and the comb teeth are made of biodegradable plastic. The bamboo comb handle can be reused, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. The bamboo is cut into standard sizes and formed in one step using a milling cutter, reducing the number of processes and labor required, thus improving production efficiency. When the comb teeth need to be replaced, they can be removed and replaced directly. The biodegradable plastic comb teeth reduce environmental pollution. Attached Figure Description
