Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of sterilization, in particular to a sterilization device for latex products and a sterilization method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Latex products (such as latex pillowcases, latex gloves, etc.) need to be sterilized during production to remove surface bacteria and microorganisms and ensure safety in use. The commonly used sterilization equipment for latex products in the industry relies on a conveyor belt to convey the products through a sterilization area and uses sterilization lamps to achieve sterilization.

[0003] However, the existing equipment has two major problems: first, the sterilization is not complete. Since latex products are soft, the side of the product that is in contact with the conveyor belt is blocked during the conveying process and cannot be exposed to sterilization light. The product needs to be turned over manually or by additional equipment for re-sterilization, which not only increases the operation steps but also reduces production efficiency. Second, the accumulation of impurities affects the sterilization environment. During the sterilization process, latex debris, threads and other impurities that fall off the surface of the latex product are easily adsorbed on the mesh plate inside the equipment. When the mesh holes of the mesh plate are blocked, it not only hinders the flow of air (affecting the stability of product conveying), but also causes the impurities to be unable to be effectively discharged, and even may contaminate the latex product being sterilized again, further reducing the sterilization quality.

[0004] To solve the above problems, there is an urgent need for a sterilization device that can achieve synchronous sterilization of both sides of the latex product and automatically clean the impurities to improve sterilization efficiency and quality and reduce manual intervention. SUMMARY

[0016] Step 2: Start the external air pump and servo motor of the blowing mechanism. The air pump supplies air to the air chamber of the blowing hood through the air inlet pipe.

[0034] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0035] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figures 1-9 As shown, the sterilization device for latex products according to the present invention includes a frame 1, on which multiple sterilization chambers 3 are arranged. Multiple first sterilization lamps 31 are provided inside each sterilization chamber 3. The first sterilization lamps 31 are used to kill bacteria on the latex products. A feeding mechanism 2 is provided on the frame 1, which conveys the latex products through the interior of the sterilization chambers 3. A blowing and floating mechanism 4 is provided inside the frame 1. The blowing and floating mechanism 4 includes second sterilization lamps 44, which are used to blow the latex products to a float position and sterilize the bottom of the latex products through the second sterilization lamps 44. A cleaning mechanism 5 is provided inside the frame 1, which is used to clean impurities inside the sterilization chambers 3.

[0036] The latex pillowcases inside the sterilization chamber 3 are sterilized. The latex pillowcases are blown up by the blowing mechanism 4, which can rotate to drive the latex pillowcases to move, so that the latex pillowcases are sterilized during the movement. After sterilization, the blowing mechanism 4 reduces the air volume, so that the latex pillowcases fall smoothly onto the feeding mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 2 sends the latex pillowcases out of the sterilization chamber. The cleaning mechanism 5 cleans the suspended impurities that have entered the frame 1, purifying the working space.

[0037] The blowing and floating mechanism 4 includes a blowing and floating component and an air supply component; the blowing and floating component is used to blow and float the latex product, and the air supply component delivers gas to the cleaning mechanism 5 to drive the cleaning mechanism 5 to clean the impurities.

[0038] Gas is directly introduced into the cleaning mechanism 5 through the air blowing component. The cleaning mechanism 5 starts to operate and cleans impurities. The latex pillowcase is blown up by the air blowing component. After the latex pillowcase floats up, the angle of the air blowing component can be adjusted so that the first sterilization lamp 31 and the second sterilization lamp 44 inside the sterilization chamber sterilize the upper and lower surfaces of the latex pillowcase.

[0039] The blowing assembly includes a stabilizing rod 41 mounted on a frame 1. An inner shaft 49 is located inside the stabilizing rod 41 and rotates within it. A servo motor 42 is located at the end of the inner shaft 49 and is mounted on the frame 1. A storage slot 45 is formed on the stabilizing rod 41, and a blowing hood 46 is located inside the storage slot 45 and rotates within it. Multiple second sterilization lamps 44 are located on both sides of the storage slot 45. The bottom of the blowing hood 46... An air chamber 412 is provided, and multiple air jet holes 413 are provided on the air chamber 412. The gas ejected from the air jet holes 413 passes through the feeding mechanism 2 and blows up the latex products inside the sterilization chamber 3. The stabilizer rod 41 has an inner groove 410 that corresponds one-to-one with the blower hood 46. A rotating rod 411 is provided inside the inner groove 410. One end of the rotating rod 411 is connected to the bottom of the blower hood 46, and the other end is connected to the inner shaft 49. The blower hood 46 rotates with the inner shaft 49. The servo motor 42 is provided with an angle adjuster.

[0040] The stabilizer bar 41, made of 6061 aluminum alloy, is bolted to the inner wall of the frame 1, serving as the load-bearing base for the blowing assembly. A through hole is formed along the length of the stabilizer bar 41, through which the inner shaft 49 passes, engaging with the stabilizer bar 41 via a sliding bearing for low-friction rotation. One end of the inner shaft 49 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 42 via a coupling, while the other end is fixed to the corresponding bearing seat on the frame 1 via a deep groove ball bearing. The servo motor 42 is fixed to the motor mounting plate of the frame 1 and receives commands from the PLC controller via pulse signals to drive the angular velocity adjustment of the inner shaft 49, meeting the blowing requirements of latex products of different weights. Five to eight storage slots 45 are spaced along the length of the stabilizer bar 41, with rounded edges at the opening of each slot 45 to prevent airflow turbulence. Each storage slot 45 contains a rotating blower hood 46, which is made of injection-molded plastic and is mounted on a rotating rod 411. Two to three second sterilization lamps 44 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the storage slot 45. The lamp body is fixed to the inner wall by a ceramic lamp holder, ensuring that the light can obliquely illuminate the lower surface of the suspended latex pillowcase, forming a "cross-irradiation" with the first sterilization lamp 31 at the top of the sterilization chamber 3, eliminating the dead corners and edges of traditional single-sided sterilization. The bottom of the blower hood 46 has an integrally formed air chamber 412, which is connected to the sliding tube 415 through an internal air passage, ensuring stable gas delivery. Multiple air jet holes 413 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the air chamber 412. The air jet holes 413 adopt a "conical outlet," changing the airflow from "direct" to "diffuse jet," which enhances buoyancy and avoids excessive local airflow that could cause tearing of the latex product. The axis of the jet nozzle 413 forms an adjustable angle with the surface of the conveyor belt. The angle is dynamically changed by the swing of the blower shroud 46: when the blower shroud 46 swings in the conveying direction, it enhances the forward thrust; when it swings in the opposite direction, the angle decreases to 30° to prevent the product from falling back, and finally the suspended latex product moves synchronously with the conveyor belt. The stabilizer bar 41 has an inner groove 410 corresponding to each storage slot 45. The inner groove 410 is connected to the storage slot 45 through a through hole. The rotating rod 411 passes through the through hole. One end is fixed to the connecting lug at the bottom of the blower shroud 46 by a set screw, and the other end is connected to the inner shaft 49 by a flat key, forming a transmission chain of "inner shaft 49 rotation → rotating rod 411 swing → blower shroud 46 swinging synchronously". The tail of the servo motor 42 integrates an angle adjuster, which collects the rotation angle of the inner shaft 49 in real time and feeds it back to the PLC controller to form a closed-loop control: when the latex product's suspension height deviates from the range of 5-10mm due to thickness differences, the PLC automatically adjusts the speed and direction of the servo motor 42, so that the swing angle of the blower shroud 46 is dynamically corrected within the range of 30°-60°, ensuring suspension stability.

[0041] The air supply assembly includes an air inlet pipe 416 located inside the stabilizer bar 41, which is connected to an external air pump. A sliding tube 415 is located inside the air inlet pipe 416, sliding within it. A sealing tube 414 is located on the sliding tube 415, with one end sealed to the end of the air inlet pipe 416 and the other end connected to and moving with the sliding tube 415. An inflation chamber 47 is located inside the storage slot 45; the inflation chamber 47 is an elastic cavity. An air outlet 48 is located on the stabilizer bar 41, connected to the inflation chamber 47 and also connected to a cleaning mechanism 5.

[0042] The innovation of the integrated air delivery component for both buoyancy and cleaning power lies in the "secondary utilization" of the power of the buoyancy gas. This power is converted into the driving force of the cleaning mechanism through a mechanical structure, eliminating the need for an additional motor or cylinder and achieving "dual-purpose blowing." Its structural details and gas transmission logic are as follows: 1. Sealed air supply structure of the inlet pipe and sliding pipe: An inlet pipe 416 is provided inside the stabilizing rod 41 along its length. One end of the inlet pipe 416 is connected to an external air pump via a quick-connect fitting, and the other end is sealed to the sliding pipe 415 via a sealing pipe 414. The sliding pipe 415 can slide axially along the inlet pipe 416, adapting to positional changes when the blower hood 46 swings. The sealing tube 414 is made of fluororubber and is corrugated. One end is fixed to the port of the air inlet tube 416 by a clamp, and the other end is connected to the end of the sliding tube 415 by a clamp. This ensures that the gas does not leak and can also generate elastic deformation as the sliding tube 415 slides, thus solving the problem of breakage of traditional rigid connections.

[0043] The power conversion structure between the inflation chamber and the air outlet: Each receiving slot 45 has an inflation chamber 47 attached to its bottom. The inflation chamber 47 is a nitrile rubber elastic chamber with an integrated one-way air inlet valve to ensure that gas can only be drawn in from the outside and cannot leak back. One side of the inflation chamber 47 is connected to the sliding tube 415 through a silicone tube to receive the diversion of the blowing gas, and the other side is connected to the telescopic rod 54 of the cleaning mechanism 5 through the air outlet 48. When the blower hood 46 swings into the receiving slot 45 under the action of the rotating rod 411, the bottom of the blower hood 46 squeezes the inflation chamber 47, and the compressed gas quickly enters the air chamber of the telescopic rod 54 through the air outlet 48, driving the cleaning rod 55 to move along the mesh plate 51; when the blower hood 46 swings back to its original position, the inflation chamber 47 expands under its own elasticity, and gas is drawn in from the sliding tube 415 through the one-way air inlet valve to replenish it, while the telescopic rod 54 contracts and resets under the tension of the elastic element 53, forming a cycle of "swinging, squeezing, inflation and reset" power output.

[0044] The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a telescopic rod 54 connected to the air outlet 48. When gas enters the telescopic rod 54, the telescopic rod 54 extends. A mesh plate 51 is installed inside the frame 1. The mesh plate 51 has a rectangular cross-section. A cleaning rod 55 is attached to the surface of the mesh plate 51. Elastic members 53 are provided on both sides of the cleaning rod 55. The elastic members 53 are located on the frame 1. The telescopic rod 54 is connected to the cleaning rod 55. When gas enters the telescopic rod 54, the telescopic rod 54 extends and drives the cleaning rod 55 to move on the mesh plate 51 to clean the mesh plate 51.

[0045] The blowing mechanism 4 does not operate independently, but works closely in coordination with the feeding mechanism 2, sterilization chamber 3, and cleaning mechanism 5. The positions of the air holes on the conveyor belt 22 correspond one-to-one with the air jet holes 413, ensuring that the airflow from the air jet holes can penetrate the air holes and blow onto the lower surface of the latex products. At the same time, the air holes also provide a channel for the light from the second sterilization lamp 44. The swing angle of the blowing hood 46 is adapted to the length of the sterilization chamber 3, ensuring that the latex products stay in the chamber for a certain period of time, and that both the upper and lower surfaces are irradiated by the sterilization lamp 3-4 times. The gas pressure of the air outlet 48 is matched with the effective stroke of the telescopic rod 54, and the moving speed of the cleaning rod 55 is proportional to the speed of the conveyor belt, ensuring that impurities on the mesh plate 51 can be cleaned in real time without accumulating and clogging.

[0046] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a drive shaft 21 mounted on the frame 1, a drive motor mounted on the drive shaft 21, a conveyor belt 22 mounted on the drive shaft 21, and a plurality of air holes mounted on the conveyor belt 22; the air holes allow air and light to pass through in order to blow and sterilize the latex products.

[0047] A collection box 23 is provided on the frame 1 below the conveyor belt 22. The collection box 23 is used to collect impurities cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 5.

[0048] The inflation chamber 47 is equipped with a one-way valve, which only allows gas to flow from the inflation chamber 47 to the air outlet 48.

[0049] A sterilization method for latex products includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 1: Place the latex product on the conveyor belt 22 of the feeding mechanism 2, start the drive motor of the drive shaft 21, and transport the latex product into the sterilization chamber 3 through the conveyor belt 22.

[0051] Step 2: Start the external air pump and servo motor 42 of the blowing mechanism 4. The air pump supplies air to the air chamber 412 of the blowing hood 46 through the air inlet pipe 416. The air is ejected through the air jet hole 413 and, together with the air holes of the conveyor belt 22, blows the latex products to float. At the same time, the servo motor 42 drives the inner shaft 49 to rotate and adjusts the angle of the blowing hood 46 through the rotating rod 411, so that the floated latex products move stably in the sterilization box 3.

[0052] Step 3: Turn on the first sterilization lamp 31 and the second sterilization lamp 44 inside the sterilization chamber 3 to simultaneously sterilize the upper and lower surfaces of the floating latex products.

[0053] Step 4: When the blower hood 46 rotates, it squeezes the air chamber 47 in the storage slot 45. The gas in the air chamber 47 enters the telescopic rod 54 of the cleaning mechanism 5 through the air outlet 48, driving the telescopic rod 54 to extend and push the cleaning rod 55 to move on the mesh plate 51, cleaning the impurities on the surface of the mesh plate 51. The impurities fall into the collection box 23 below through the air holes of the conveyor belt 22.

[0054] Step 5: After sterilization is completed, turn off the power and air pump of each component, and transport the sterilized latex products out of the sterilization chamber 3 via conveyor belt 22.

[0055] During use, lay the latex pillowcase to be sterilized flat on the conveyor belt 22, ensuring the pillowcase is wrinkle-free and does not block the sterilization light; start the drive motor of the drive shaft 21, and set the speed of the conveyor belt 22, which can be adjusted according to the sterilization requirements. The pillowcase moves towards the sterilization chamber 3 with the conveyor belt 22; when the pillowcase enters the first set of sterilization chambers 3, start the external air pump, which supplies air to the air chamber 412 of the blower hood 46 through the air inlet pipe 416. The air is sprayed out through the air jet hole 413, which, together with the air holes of the conveyor belt 22, blows the pillowcase off the surface of the conveyor belt; at the same time, start the servo motor 42, and adjust the angle of the blower hood 46 to 30° according to the size of the pillowcase, so that the floating pillowcase moves stably along the direction of the conveyor belt and avoids deviation; turn on the first sterilization lamp 31 and the second sterilization lamp 44. The first sterilization lamp 31 irradiates the upper surface of the pillowcase from above, and the second sterilization lamp 44 irradiates the lower surface of the pillowcase from both sides. Because the pillowcase is floating, the lower surface is unobstructed, and the irradiation time is about 15 minutes. The speed of the conveyor belt can be adjusted to achieve simultaneous sterilization of the upper and lower surfaces. When the blower hood 46 rotates under the drive of the servo motor 42, its edge squeezes the air chamber 47 in the collection groove 45. The gas in the air chamber 47 enters the air outlet 48 through the one-way valve to prevent backflow, and then flows into the telescopic rod 54. The telescopic rod 54 extends under the action of gas pressure, pushing the cleaning rod 55 to move laterally along the surface of the mesh plate 51 to clean the latex debris, filaments and other impurities adsorbed on the mesh plate 51. After the impurities are cleaned, they fall into the collection box 23 below through the air holes of the conveyor belt 22 to achieve real-time collection of impurities. After the pillowcase is sterilized by two sets of sterilization chambers 3, it is transported out of the equipment with the conveyor belt 22 to complete the sterilization. After the air pump and the power of each motor are turned off, the telescopic rod 54 is reset under the action of the elastic element 53, and the cleaning rod 55 returns to the initial position to wait for the next batch of sterilization operations.

4. The sterilization device for latex products according to claim 3, characterized in that: A collection box (23) is provided on the frame (1) below the conveyor belt (22), and the collection box (23) is used to collect the impurities cleaned by the cleaning mechanism (5).

5. A sterilization device for latex products according to claim 4, characterized in that: The inflation chamber (47) is equipped with a one-way valve, which only allows gas to flow from the inflation chamber (47) to the air outlet (48).

6. A method for sterilizing latex products based on the apparatus according to any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: Place the latex product on the conveyor belt (22) of the feeding mechanism (2), start the drive motor of the drive shaft (21), and transport the latex product to the sterilization chamber (3) through the conveyor belt (22); Step 2: Start the external air pump and servo motor (42) of the blowing mechanism (4). The air pump supplies air to the air chamber (412) of the blowing hood (46) through the air inlet pipe (416). The gas is ejected through the jet hole (413) and, together with the air hole of the conveyor belt (22), blows the latex products into the air. At the same time, the servo motor (42) drives the inner shaft (49) to rotate. The angle of the blowing hood (46) is adjusted by the rotating rod (411) so that the floating latex products move stably in the sterilization box (3). Step 3: Turn on the first sterilization lamp (31) and the second sterilization lamp (44) in the sterilization chamber (3) to sterilize the upper and lower surfaces of the floating latex products simultaneously through the first sterilization lamp (31) and the second sterilization lamp (44); Step 4: When the blower hood (46) rotates, it squeezes the air chamber (47) in the collection slot (45). The gas in the air chamber (47) enters the telescopic rod (54) of the cleaning mechanism (5) through the air outlet (48), driving the telescopic rod (54) to extend and push the cleaning rod (55) to move on the mesh plate (51) to clean the impurities on the surface of the mesh plate (51). The impurities fall into the collection box (23) below through the air holes of the conveyor belt (22). Step 5: After sterilization is completed, turn off the power supply and air pump of each component, and transport the sterilized latex products out of the sterilization box (3) via the conveyor belt (22).
