Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning products technology, specifically to a fully automatic molding machine for multi-functional toilet blocks. Background Technology

[0002] Toilet cleaner blocks on the market typically have only one function. Their production process involves either mixing all the materials and then pressing them into shape using a mold in one go, or mixing all the materials and then extruding and cutting them into blocks using an extruder in one go. Therefore, for toilet cleaner blocks with at least two functional layers, multiple pressing operations are required to combine at least two functional layers into a single shape. However, the current production process for toilet cleaner blocks with at least two functional layers is discontinuous. That is, adding a second functional layer after the first functional layer has been pressed into shape requires manual transfer of the first functional layer product to another machine for pressing the second functional layer, or manual resetting of the machine after the first functional layer has been pressed into shape before adding and pressing the second functional layer into shape. This results in low production efficiency and fails to meet market demand.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose further solutions to address the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, the multi-functional toilet block fully automatic molding machine of this invention includes a frame 1 and a bottom material feeding unit 2 for feeding bottom material, a core material feeding unit 4 for feeding core material, a top material feeding unit 5 for feeding top material, a demolding unit 7 for demolding the product, and a conveying unit, all mounted on the frame 1. The conveying unit includes a conveying guide rail 11, the first and last ends of which are connected. A template 12 is slidably connected to the conveying guide rail 11, and the template 12 can move along the length of the conveying guide rail 11. A mold cavity 121 for holding material is formed on the upper surface of the template 12. The bottom material feeding unit 2, the core material feeding unit 4, the top material feeding unit 5, and the demolding unit 7 are arranged sequentially on the conveying guide rail, wherein:

[0031] A flattening unit 3 is provided between the bottom material feeding unit 2 and the core material feeding unit 4 to press and form the bottom material in the mold cavity 121; a pressure forming unit 6 is provided between the top material feeding unit 5 and the unloading unit 7 to press and form the top material in the mold cavity 121; the template 12 can move along the material conveying guide rail 11 and enter the bottom material feeding unit 2, the flattening unit 3, the core material feeding unit 4, the top material feeding unit 5, the pressure forming unit 6 and the unloading unit 7 in sequence, so that the bottom material, core material and top material distributed in the mold cavity 121 are stacked from bottom to top and can be demolded and taken out after secondary pressing and forming.

[0032] It should be noted that the template 12 is driven to move along the length of the conveyor track by a conveyor belt assembly (not shown in the figure). The conveyor belt assembly (not shown in the figure) includes a conveyor belt, multiple drive shafts, and a drive motor mounted on the frame. The multiple shafts are rotatably connected to the frame, and the conveyor belt is tensioned on the multiple shafts. The power end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to any shaft and drives it to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt to rotate. The template 12 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt and moves along the length of the first slide rail 11 under the drive of the conveyor belt. Moreover, in this technical solution, the role of the drive motor and the drive belt assembly in this invention is only to provide power for the movement of the template. This is prior art, and the specific positioning of the drive motor and the drive belt assembly can be determined by the basic skills of those skilled in the art. Therefore, they will not be described in detail here.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, this application achieves the flattening of the bottom material, the addition of the core material, and the delivery of the top material through the sequential movement of the template 12 on the material conveying guide rail 11, followed by a one-time final pressing and molding. After two pressing processes, the material enters the automatic demolding process 2, realizing the automatic stacking and molding of the bottom material, core material, and top material from bottom to top. The automation level is high, which solves the problem of discontinuous production processes of multi-functional toilet cleaning blocks and the need for manual replacement of equipment for a second pressing and combination, thus significantly improving production efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottom material feeding unit 2 includes a hopper 10, the discharge port 101 of the hopper 10 is located above the material conveying guide rail 11.

A pressure rod 25 is vertically fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 24, and a pressure head 26 corresponding to the mold cavity 121 is provided at the bottom of the pressure rod 25. The pressing drive mechanism 22 is installed on the top plate 20, and its power end passes through the top plate 20 and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 24. After the pressing drive mechanism 22 drives the pressure plate 24 to move down to a preset height, the pressure head 26 is located in the mold cavity 121.

[0037] Furthermore, the pressing drive mechanism 22 can be any one of a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.

[0039] The material handling assembly includes a hopper (not shown) and a conveying mechanism 41 slidably connected to the frame 1. The hopper (not shown) is used to store core material, and the conveying mechanism 41 is connected to the hopper (not shown) and is used to convey the core material to a preset position.

[0040] The material handling drive assembly 42 that drives the material handling assembly to move includes a material handling cylinder. The power end of the material handling cylinder is connected to the material handling assembly to drive the material handling assembly to reciprocate in the horizontal direction.

[0041] The material feeding assembly distributes the core material onto the upper surface of the bottom material inside the mold cavity 121, wherein the mold cavity 121 consists of multiple molding cavities arranged in parallel.

[0042] The material feeding component distributes the core material at a preset interval to the upper surface of the bottom material in each molding cavity at a preset position above the mold cavity 121.

[0043] Preferably, the material-grabbing component is either a clamp for gripping the material into the mold cavity 121 or a suction cup for adsorbing the core material. It should be noted that the core material in this application is a solid preformed block.

[0044] In another embodiment of the present invention, the stripping unit 7 includes a bracket 71 fixedly connected to the frame 1. The bracket 71 has slide rails 72 on both sides. A demolding base 73 is slidably connected to the slide rails 72. A demolding clamping mechanism 74 corresponding to the mold cavity 121 is suspended on the demolding base 73. The demolding clamping mechanism 74 can move up and down relative to the template 12. After the demolding clamping mechanism 74 descends to a preset height, it is located inside the mold cavity 121. The demolding clamping mechanism 74 includes a clamping part for extending into the mold cavity and a clamping drive mechanism. The clamping drive mechanism is disposed on the demolding base 73, and its power end is connected to the clamping part for driving the clamping part to clamp or release the molded product in the mold cavity. The clamping part includes at least a pair of oppositely arranged clamping blocks. The clamping blocks can move relative to each other to clamp or release the molded product.

[0045] Preferably, the demolding clamping mechanism 74 is any one of a mechanical gripper, a finger cylinder, or a vacuum suction cup;

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a demolding drive cylinder 75 is vertically arranged at the center of the demolding base 73. A demolding frame 77 is fixedly connected to the output end of the demolding drive cylinder 75 to drive the demolding frame 77 to move up and down. A demolding base plate 78 is movably connected to the bottom of the demolding frame 77. A demolding clamping mechanism 74 is arranged at the bottom of the demolding base plate 78. The demolding drive cylinder 75 drives the demolding frame 77 to descend and drives the demolding clamping mechanism 74 to extend into the mold cavity 121 to clamp the product.

[0047] Furthermore, a demolding drive motor 79 is fixedly connected to the demolding frame 77. The output end of the demolding drive motor 79 passes through the demolding frame 77 and is fixedly connected to the demolding base plate 78. The demolding drive motor 79 drives the demolding base plate 78 to rotate, thereby driving the demolding clamping mechanism 74 to rotate and demold.

[0048] The process of this invention uses the aforementioned fully automatic multi-functional toilet block molding machine, and specifically involves the following steps:

[0049] Step S1: Mold cavity positioning: Three feeding points are set on the feeding guide rail 11, and a template 12 that moves along the feeding guide rail 11 is set so that a mold cavity 121 is opened on the template 12, and the template 12 moves along the feeding guide rail 11 to the three feeding points in sequence.

[0050] Step S2: Bottom material feeding: Move the template 12 along the feeding guide rail 11 to the first feeding point, place the bottom material at the bottom of the mold cavity 121, and then press it with the flattening device 3.

[0051] Step S3: Core material feeding, causing the template 12 with bottom material to move along the feeding guide 12 to the second feeding point, and placing the core material on the upper surface of the bottom material in the mold cavity 121;

[0052] Step S4: Top material feeding, moving the template 12 with bottom material and core material to the third feeding point, placing the top material on the upper surface of the bottom material in the mold cavity 121 and covering the outer surface of the core material, and then pressing the top material, core material and bottom material together by the pressure molding device 6 to obtain the pressed product.

[0053] Step S5: Product demolding: The pressed product is removed from the mold cavity 121 by the stripping device 7.

[0054] In summary, this application achieves automatic stacking and forming of bottom material, core material, and top material from bottom to top through the sequential processes of bottom material feeding, flattening, core material feeding, top material feeding, pressure forming, and demolding via the annular material conveying guide rail 11 and the linkage template 12. This solves the problem of discontinuous production processes in multi-functional toilet cleaning blocks and significantly improves production efficiency.

[0055] Moreover, this technical solution breaks through the technical bottleneck of non-continuous production of multi-functional toilet cleaning blocks through the collaborative design of the annular material conveying guide rail 11 and the multi-layer material feeding unit 2. At the same time, relying on the modular structure and automated demolding module, it achieves the production goals of high efficiency, low manual dependence and high product consistency, effectively meeting market demand.
