Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of machinery, in particular to a cutting device for the concave leak-proof bottom layer of a diaper. Background Art
[0002] Diapers are mainly made by bonding non-woven fabrics, superabsorbent resins, elastic spandex filaments and other materials with hot melt adhesives. Diapers are divided into surface non-woven fabrics, absorbent cores, breathable membranes, adhesives, magic tapes, waist patch non-woven fabrics, bottom non-woven fabrics, etc. according to the materials of different parts of the diaper; existing diapers all use the bottom layer and the surface layer to wrap the middle core layer. At present, most of the diapers produced in China are in the shape of "I". During production, both the bottom layer and the surface layer fabrics are cut from sheet fabrics. Therefore, when the middle core layer expands, it will cause the bottom layer and the surface layer to bulge at the same time, affecting the wearing comfort. Moreover, when cutting the leak-proof bottom layer, the fabric cannot be tensioned synchronously in the longitudinal and transverse directions, resulting in low precision during fabric cutting.
[0003] The prior art CN202310141061.9 discloses a positioning mechanism for diaper cutting, including a frame. A single-chip microcomputer is fixedly installed on the end face of the frame. A cloth feeding mechanism is installed at the feeding port of the frame. The tail end of the frame is connected to a tensioning frame through two symmetrically arranged tensioning adjustment components. An out-cloth mechanism is installed between the inner surfaces of the tensioning frame. A waste cloth roll roller driven by a winding motor is rotatably connected at a position adjacent to the out-cloth mechanism before the inner surface of the frame. A screw rod distance adjustment module is installed in the middle of the frame. Although this invention can tension the fabric during cutting, there are still the following problems:
[0004] 1. This solution adjusts the tension of the fabric by adjusting the distance between the conveying rollers at both ends of the cutting knife. However, relying solely on adjusting the distance between the conveying rollers to tension the fabric may cause inconsistent tension forces at different positions of the fabric. Especially in the case of wide fabrics or when complex-shaped cutting is required, the difference in tension forces between the edge and the center of the fabric may affect the cutting quality.
[0005] 2. The existing leak-proof fabric of the bottom layer after cutting still belongs to a flat sheet fabric, which means that after cutting, the fabric is still laid flat on the horizontal plane without forming the required concave structure. This not only affects the subsequent assembly process, but also causes it to expand towards the fabric side when the diaper absorbs liquid, affecting the wearing comfort. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a cutting device for the concave leak-proof bottom layer of a diaper. By setting corresponding protrusions and grooves on the shaping plate and the lower support plate, it solves the problems in the prior art that the leak-proof fabric of the bottom layer of the diaper is still in a flat sheet shape after cutting and cannot form the required concave structure, and the tension of the fabric is uneven during the cutting process.

[0013] Preferably, a pressure sensor is arranged inside the telescopic cylinder, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control system, and the telescopic distance of the telescopic cylinder can be controlled through the data of the pressure sensor.
[0014] It should be noted that the pressure sensor is installed inside the telescopic cylinder, which can real-time monitor the pressure change of the telescopic cylinder and is electrically connected to the control system. When the cylinder acts, the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor will be transmitted to the control system (such as a PLC controller). By real-time monitoring the pressure, the control system can ensure that the pressure when the shaping plate and the lower support plate clamp the cloth is consistent, thereby improving the cutting accuracy, ensuring that the cut cloth has better shape and size consistency, not only enhancing the automation degree of the equipment, but also ensuring uniform cloth tension during the cutting process, thus improving the quality and production efficiency of the final product.

The heating device can be an electric heating element, such as a resistance heating wire or a heating sheet, which can convert electrical energy into heat energy. The temperature sensor is also installed on the shaping plate and is used to monitor the temperature of the shaping plate in real time to ensure that the heating device always operates within the preset temperature range, avoiding overheating or overcooling.

[0020] It should be noted that the guiding roller is installed on the rack between the coiling device and the cutting assembly and is used to guide the cut waste to the coiling device. The guiding roller can be fixed or adjustable to adapt to the passage of waste with different thicknesses. The coiling device is usually a roller driven by a motor and is used to roll up and collect the waste. When the cutting is completed, the waste is guided by the guiding roller to the coiling device for coiling, while the cut leak-proof bottom layer continues to be conveyed along with the conveyor belt.

In this way, during the cutting process, the cutting knife can cut along the contour of the shaping plate. Through the close adhesion between the cutting knife and the shaping plate, it can ensure that the edge of the cut fabric is neater and smoother.
