[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 A frame body 1 is set up, and the EPE products are transported to the inside of the frame body 1 for processing. The frame body 1 is divided into two parts: a material transport part 2 and a transportation part 3. The transportation part 3 is responsible for displacing the material transport part 2 in the frame body 1, so as to perform multi-stage and multi-point processing. The material transport part 2 is responsible for processing the products transported to the inside of the frame body 1.

[0028] like Figure 1-4As shown, the material transport section 2 includes a material transport structure 21, and the material transport structure 21 includes a material transport connecting plate 212 and several adsorption elements 211 connected by the material transport connecting plate 212. The adsorption element 211 can adsorb the surface of the product and can be replaced by various elements capable of processing the surface of the product. The transportation section 3 includes a three-mode motion module, and a material transport track 11 is also arranged in the frame body 1. The product will move on the material transport track 11 and enter the interior of the frame body 1. The three-mode motion module adopts X, Y, and Z three-axis motion, so that the material transport connecting plate 212 can move along three directions on the frame body 1, which is convenient for adjusting the processing position. Several adsorption elements 211 can all contact with the surface of the material transport track 11, thereby ensuring that the material transport section 2 can process the products on the surface of the material transport track 11.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a feeding mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the frame body 1, and the feeding mechanism 4 is used for feeding the EPE product rolls, conveying the products to the surface of the material transport track 11, and entering the internal processing of the frame body 1. The feeding mechanism is divided into two parts: a feeding part 41 and a pressing part 42. The main function of the feeding part 41 is the transportation effect, and the main function of the pressing part 42 is the effect of controlling the processing of the products. The feeding end of the feeding mechanism 4 is aligned with the material transport track 11, so that the products will not be misplaced when transported to the material transport track 11. A pressing table is fixedly provided on the frame body 1, and two pressing cavities are fixedly connected to the pressing table. A pressing block 422 is fixedly connected to the output end of each pressing cylinder 421, and the pressing block 422 presses toward the surface of the product. Two pressing blocks that can be pressed with the pressing block extend from the surface of the pressing table. The protrusions 422 abut against each other. When the product passes through the protrusions, the pressing cylinder 421 will start and push the pressing block 422 to the surface of the protrusion, thereby applying pressure to the surface of the product to fix the product. There is a certain gap between the two pressing cylinders 421, and 5 transfer wheels 427 are arranged in the gap. The product extends from the gap between the pressing cylinder 421 at the feeding end and the protrusion, and passes through the 5 transfer wheels 427 in turn. The 5 transfer wheels 427 are regularly arranged in a manner of three on top and two on the bottom. The centers of the upper transfer wheels 427 and the lower transfer wheels 427 are colinear, so that the product can make multiple turns between the two cylinders, thereby increasing the buffer length at both ends of the product, and improving the surface tension of the product through the multi-stage turning design to ensure the surface flatness of the product.

[0030] like Figure 1-4As shown, a sliding plate slidably connected to the material transport rail is also provided on one side of the pressing part 42, a rotating cylinder 423 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate, and a linkage pressing structure 424 is provided at the output end of the rotating cylinder 423. The linkage pressing structure 424 can press the head of the EPE material extending from the protrusion close to it and the pressing cylinder 421, and clamp the product and stretch it by sliding. The linkage pressing structure 424 includes a fixed pressing shaft 4241 and a pressing shaft 4241 rotatably connected to the pressing shaft 4241. The product 4242, one end of the pressing piece 4242 is rotatably connected to the output end of the rotating cylinder 423. When the rotating cylinder 423 is started, it can drive the pressing piece 4242 to rotate around the pressing shaft 4241. A pressing auxiliary plate 425 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating cylinder 423. A pressing rotating groove 426 is provided on the surface of the pressing auxiliary plate 425. The pressing shaft 4241 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove. The pressing piece 4242 can cooperate with the pressing auxiliary plate 425 to clamp the product.

[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the loading part 41 includes a loading rack 411, on which a loading wheel 412 and a driving wheel 413 are rotatably connected, respectively, wherein the loading wheel 412 is close to a pressing cylinder 421 and a protrusion, and is pressed against the bottom end of a pressing member 4242 thereof, to ensure that the product will not be misaligned during the loading process, and the driving wheel 413 is located at the bottom end of the loading rack 411, and can drive the roller of the product to rotate, and drive the product into the frame body 1.

[0032] When using this mechanism, the EPE material roll and the driving wheel 413 are linked, the head end of the product is pulled out and placed on the feeding wheel, and the driving wheel 413 is started. The driving wheel 413 will push the roller of the product to rotate and push the product into the frame body 1. The head end of the product passes between the first cylinder and the protrusion, and under manual guidance, passes through the five transfer wheels 427 in sequence and extends out from between the second cylinder and the protrusion. At this time, the rotating cylinder 423 is started to suppress the head of the product extending over, and the driving frame of the motor on the frame body 1, The product is pulled and stretched along the material transport track 11 into the frame body 1. When processing is required, the driving wheel 413 is stopped and the pressing cylinder 421 is started to press the product. Driven by the three-axis motion module 31, the material transport part 2 will move to the top of the product and extend to the surface of the product to process the surface of the product. When the processing is completed, the pressing cylinder 421 retracts to release the pressing state, and the product continues to be transported to the next process, thereby completing the technical effect of automatically processing the EPE product in the machine body and ensuring the processing accuracy of the product.

[0033] The above embodiments are used to further illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these specific implementations. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be understood to be within the protection scope of the present invention.
