Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of floor heating devices, in particular to a continuous laminating method for LVT floors. Background Art

[0002] The traditional LVT floor production process is mixing the base material and the middle layer material, hot pressing, roller coating and tempering, punching, edge cutting, slotting and packaging. The vinyl chloride resin powder, plasticizer, stabilizer and carbon black with a good proportion are added to the mixer, and then the plasticizer and stone powder are added in turn. They are put into the internal mixer, rolled and formed by rollers, cooled and cut into blocks. Canvas, embossed plate, soft film, base material, middle material, frosted sheet, color film and soft film are laid between two steel plates in turn. After being fully pressed, they are put into the hot press. During the period, the temperature and pressure are continuously increased. After about 40 minutes, the soft film can be torn off and the floor is finally formed. After the UV coating is applied by the roller, it is directly baked and cured in the oven under ultraviolet irradiation, cooled in cold water and blown dry. Use a punching machine to cut 5 to 6 pieces, place them regularly on the tray, and finally package them. However, the co-printing process is cumbersome and requires multiple processes to complete. Therefore, a continuous laminating device was developed, in which the laminating and UV of the floor are completed on the same production line, saving process flow, equipment costs and labor costs, and is currently a popular production process.

[0003] However, in the process of continuous lamination, it was found that the traditional equipment base only heats the upper layer for lamination with the wear-resistant layer and printed film, while the lower layer is not heated. The two layers are heated at uneven temperatures, resulting in bulging of the produced floors and a low rate of authenticity. This is a shortcoming of the continuous lamination process. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a continuous bonding method for LVT floors, which effectively improves the quality of finished products, saves production costs and rework costs, and realizes fully automatic continuous bonding.

[0006] Furthermore, a UV coating device is provided at the rear end of the laminating production line. The laminated floor is transmitted through a transmission line to the UV coating device at the rear end, and UV coating is directly performed on the surface of the floor without the need to be transported to other UV coating lines for coating.

[0007] Furthermore, the air pressure and speed of the multiple heating wheels arranged below the bottom layer are different.

[0008] Furthermore, four heating wheels with different air pressures and speeds are arranged below the bottom layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the air pressure of the first heating wheel is 0.3-1.0 MPa, and the operating speed is 11-18 m / min.

[0011] Furthermore, the air pressure of the third heating wheel is 0.3-0.7 MPa, the operating speed is 11-15 m / min, the temperature of the electric heating box is 200-300°C, and the conveying wheel speed is 13-18 m / min.

[0012] Furthermore, the air pressure of the fourth heating wheel is 0.3-0.7 MPa, the operating speed is 11-15 m / min, the temperature of the electric heating box is 160-300° C., and the conveying wheel speed is 11-18 m / min.

[0014] Furthermore, the laminated floor is cooled by a cold water tank, and the speed of the conveyor belt in the tank is adjusted according to the laminating speed, with a processing speed of 7 to 9 m / min.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) The bottom of the floor is equipped with multiple heating wheels. The bottom surface of the bottom layer is heated by the heating wheels before bonding, achieving simultaneous heating of the upper and lower surfaces. This not only enables continuous bonding of the LVT floor, but also avoids problems such as floor bubbling and loose bonding caused by uneven temperatures on the upper and lower surfaces of the bottom layer.

[0017] (2) The setting of multiple heating wheels with different parameters further enhances the quality of the laminating process, increasing the qualified product rate of the continuous laminating line floor from 80% to 96%, saving production costs and rework costs, and truly realizing fully automatic continuous laminating.
