Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of paper tube cutting technology, and in particular to a fully automated paper tube cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the paper product processing industry, paper tubes are a common packaging and storage medium with a wide range of applications, covering many fields such as textiles, chemicals, food, and electronics. In order to meet the diverse needs for paper tube length in different scenarios, the paper tube cutting process has become a crucial part of the paper product production process.
[0003] Traditional paper tube cutting methods rely heavily on manual operation, with workers using hand-held cutting tools to cut the paper tubes. This is not only inefficient but also prone to producing uneven cuts, affecting subsequent use and product quality. Therefore, this invention proposes a fully automated paper tube cutting device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automated paper tube cutting device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a fully automated paper tube cutting device, including a work plate. Placement mechanisms for clamping and placing long paper tubes are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the work plate. An L-shaped plate is provided below the work plate. An electric cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped plate and is fixedly installed at the bottom of the work plate. A rotating motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the L-shaped plate. A drive wheel is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotating motor. The drive wheel is connected to a driven wheel via a belt. The driven wheel is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of a positioning tube. The positioning tube is fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped plate. A rotating rod is rotatably mounted inside the positioning tube. The end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the driven wheel. Several cutting wheels are fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod. Cutting grooves are provided on the top of the work plate corresponding to the cutting wheels.
[0006] Furthermore, the placement mechanism includes an angled plate, which is set on a work plate. A slide bar is fixedly provided on one side of the angled plate. A through groove is provided through the top of the slide bar. A slide rod is movably inserted in the through groove. The bottom end of the slide rod is fixedly set on the work plate.
[0007] Furthermore, a rubber pad is fixedly fitted onto the slide bar, the rubber pad being positioned above the slide bar and in contact with it. A limiting collar is fixedly fitted at the midpoint of the side of the angled plate away from the slide bar, and the end of the long paper tube is limited and fitted onto the limiting collar.
[0008] Furthermore, support legs are fixedly installed at the four bottom corners of the work plate, and a positioning block is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the support leg, with a positioning hole provided on the top of the positioning block.
[0009] Furthermore, a first reinforcing rod is fixedly installed between the two horizontally arranged outriggers, with the first reinforcing rod located at the upper end of the outrigger. A second reinforcing rod is fixedly installed between the two longitudinally arranged outriggers, with the second reinforcing rod located at the middle end of the outrigger.
[0010] Furthermore, a third reinforcing rod is fixedly installed between the two second reinforcing rods. A vertical plate is fixedly installed on the top of the third reinforcing rod. A groove is longitudinally provided on the inner wall of the vertical plate. A slider is slidably installed in the groove. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the slider.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0012] 1. This invention, by fixing several cutting wheels on a rotating rod, can cut a long paper tube into multiple short paper tubes at once. Compared with the traditional manual single-cutting method, the cutting efficiency is improved several times and the paper tube cutting operation time is greatly shortened. This invention uses a motor to drive the cutting wheels to rotate at high speed for cutting. The cutting force is uniform and stable, avoiding uneven cuts and many burrs caused by uneven force control and cutting direction deviation during manual cutting.
[0013] 2. The present invention can limit the end of the long paper tube by using a limiting collar in the placement mechanism to ensure that the paper tube will not shift during the cutting process; at the same time, the angle plate in the placement mechanism can slide on the slide rod through the slide bar, and the distance between the two angle plates can be flexibly adjusted according to the length of the long paper tube, so as to adapt to the cutting needs of long paper tubes of different lengths.
[0014] 3. The present invention has a stable support structure formed by setting support legs at the bottom of the working plate, and fixing a first reinforcing rod and a second reinforcing rod between the horizontal and vertical support legs respectively, and a third reinforcing rod between the two second reinforcing rods. This structure can effectively ensure the stability of the equipment during operation and reduce vibration and shaking. The rotating motor of the present invention is connected to the driven wheel through the driving wheel and belt, driving the rotating rod and the cutting wheel to rotate. The transmission method is stable and reliable. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4A fully automated paper tube cutting device includes a work plate 3. Placement mechanisms for clamping and placing long paper tubes are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the work plate 3. An L-shaped plate 11 is provided below the work plate 3. An electric cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped plate 11 and is fixedly installed at the bottom of the work plate 3. A rotary motor 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 11. A drive wheel 13 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary motor 12. The drive wheel 13 is connected to a driven wheel 15 via a belt 14. A rotating rod 18 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the positioning tube 16, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the L-shaped plate 11. A rotating rod 18 is rotatably mounted inside the positioning tube 16, with its end fixedly connected to the driven wheel 15. Several cutting wheels 17 are fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 18. A cutting groove 4 is provided on the top of the working plate 3 corresponding to the cutting wheels 17. Based on the length of the long paper tube, the sliding strip 22 on one side of the sliding angle plate 1 is moved on the sliding rod 24, adjusting the distance between the two angle plates 1 to match the length of the long paper tube. The two ends of the long paper tube are then fitted into the limiting collar 2, achieving initial positioning of the long paper tube. The rubber pad 23 on the slide bar 24 abuts against the slide bar 22 to increase friction and prevent the angle plate 1 from sliding arbitrarily, ensuring that the paper tube will not shift during the cutting process. The placement mechanism includes the angle plate 1, which is set on the working plate 3. A slide bar 22 is fixedly set on one side of the angle plate 1. A through groove 21 is provided through the top of the slide bar 22. A slide bar 24 is movably inserted in the through groove 21. The bottom end of the slide bar 24 is fixedly set on the working plate 3. A rubber pad 23 is fixedly sleeved on the slide bar 24. The rubber pad 23 is located above the slide bar 22 and abuts against the slide bar 22. A limiting collar 2 is fixedly set at the middle position of the side of the angle plate 1 away from the slide bar 22. The end of the long paper tube is limited and sleeved on the limiting collar 2. After the rotation motor 12 is started, its output end drives the drive wheel 13 to rotate. The drive wheel 13 transmits power to the driven wheel 15 through the belt 14, causing the driven wheel 15 to rotate accordingly. Driven wheel 15 is fixed to the end of rotating rod 18, thereby driving rotating rod 18 to rotate inside positioning tube 16. Cutting wheel 17 on rotating rod 18 rotates synchronously at high speed. Controlling electric cylinder 5, its telescopic end drives L-shaped plate 11 to move up and down, so that cutting wheel 17 passes through cutting groove 4 and contacts long paper tube to complete the cutting operation. Multiple cutting wheels 17 can cut long paper tube into multiple short paper tubes at one time, greatly improving cutting efficiency.
[0025] As an improvement to the above technical solution, support legs 7 are fixedly installed at the four bottom corners of the working plate 3. A positioning block 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of each support leg 7, and a positioning hole is provided on the top of the positioning block 10. A first reinforcing rod 6 is fixedly installed between two horizontally positioned support legs 7, located at the upper end of the support leg 7. A second reinforcing rod 9 is fixedly installed between two vertically positioned support legs 7, located at the middle of the support leg 7. The support legs 7 provide support for the entire device, ensuring the working plate 3 maintains a stable working height. The positioning holes on the positioning blocks 10 can be used to fix the device to the ground or workbench, preventing the device from sliding during operation. The first reinforcing rod 6 and the second reinforcing rod 9 reinforce the support legs 7 horizontally and vertically, respectively, enhancing the stability of the support legs 7 and reducing vibration and shaking during device operation.
[0026] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a third reinforcing rod 8 is fixedly installed between the two second reinforcing rods 9. A vertical plate 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the third reinforcing rod 8. A groove 20 is longitudinally provided on the inner wall of the vertical plate 19. A slider is slidably installed in the groove 20. The rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected to the slider. The third reinforcing rod 8 further enhances the connection stability between the legs 7. The groove 20 and the slider on the inner wall of the vertical plate 19 provide support and guidance for the rotating rod 18, ensuring the stability of the rotating rod 18 during rotation and preventing it from deviating or wobbling, thus ensuring that the cutting wheel 17 can accurately and stably complete the cutting operation. At the same time, when the electric cylinder 5 drives the rotating rod 18 to move up and down, the slider can slide in the groove 20, providing guidance for the movement of the rotating rod 18.
[0027] Working principle and usage of this invention:
[0028] In use, first adjust the position of the placement mechanism according to the length of the long paper tube. Move the sliding strip 22 on one side of the sliding angle plate 1 onto the sliding rod 24, thereby moving the angle plate 1 until the distance between the two angle plates 1 matches the length of the long paper tube. Then, place both ends of the long paper tube into the limiting collars 2 on the two angle plates 1 respectively, completing the initial positioning of the long paper tube. The rubber pad 23 on the sliding rod 24 abuts against the sliding strip 22, increasing friction and preventing the angle plates 1 from sliding arbitrarily, ensuring the stability of the paper tube positioning. Start the rotating motor 12; the output of the rotating motor 12 drives the driving wheel 13 to rotate. The driving wheel 13 transmits power to the driven wheel 15 through the belt 14, causing the driven wheel 15 to rotate accordingly. The driven wheel 15 is fixed to the end of the rotating rod 18. When the driven wheel 15 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 18 to rotate within the positioning tube 16. Several cutting wheels 17 fixedly mounted on rod 18 will also rotate synchronously to prepare for the cutting operation; control electric cylinder 5, the telescopic end of electric cylinder 5 drives L-shaped plate 11 to move up and down, the movement of L-shaped plate 11 will drive rotating motor 12, positioning tube 16, rotating rod 18 and cutting wheels 17 to move up and down as a whole; when the cutting wheel 17 moves upward, it will pass through the cutting groove 4 on the working plate 3 and contact the long paper tube placed on the working plate 3, and use the high-speed rotating cutting wheel 17 to cut the long paper tube; since multiple cutting wheels 17 are set on rotating rod 18, the long paper tube can be cut into multiple short paper tubes at one time, greatly improving the cutting efficiency; after the cutting is completed, control electric cylinder 5 to drive cutting wheel 17 downward to return it to the initial position; finally, remove the cut short paper tubes from the limiting collar 2, and a complete paper tube cutting operation is completed.
