[0005] When the foam is accumulated on the front side of the baffle, a portion of the foam will remain on one side of the baffle, so that the residue will be mixed with the new foam during the next production, resulting in impure sponge sheets. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to facilitate the cleaning of residues on one side of the baffle, the present application provides a sponge foaming machine.

[0007] The sponge foaming machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A sponge foaming machine includes a frame, a baffle and a cleaning component. A gantry is mounted above the frame, and the baffle is installed on one side of the gantry; the cleaning component includes a roller, a positioning piece and a film. The roller is rotatably mounted on the gantry, one end of the film is fixed to the roller, and the other end of the film is passed through the bottom of the baffle and connected to the top wall of the baffle. The positioning piece is used to fix the film to the top wall of the baffle.

[0009] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, one end of the film is passed through the bottom of the baffle and connected to the top wall of the baffle, so that the film can cover the surface of one side of the baffle; when making the sponge sheet, the spraying device is accumulated on the side of the baffle with the film, that is, the residues are all attached to the surface of the film; therefore, when cleaning the residues on the baffle surface, it is only necessary to cancel the connection between the film and the baffle and tear off the film with the residues, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning the residues on the baffle surface, reducing the need to remove the baffle from the gantry for cleaning, and improving work efficiency.

[0010] Optionally, the positioning member includes a plug-in plate, the plug-in plate is provided with a plug-in slot matching the top wall of the baffle, and the film is clamped between the baffle and the inner wall of the plug-in slot.

The support plate further supports and stabilizes the cutting blade during this process, ensuring accurate and smooth cutting.

[0016] Optionally, a pressing plate is provided in the movable groove, and the pressing plate is used to abut against one side of the film; a first spring is provided between the pressing plate and the inner wall of the movable groove, and the elastic force of the first spring is used to drive the pressing plate to move toward one side of the film.

[0017] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the pressing plate maintains a tight contact with the film under the elastic force of the first spring, so that when the film is connected to the baffle, it effectively prevents the film from loosening, ensuring that the film always maintains a certain tension; and after the cutting knife cuts the film, it reduces the situation of the film detaching from the movable groove, so that the new film can be re-covered on one side of the baffle.

[0018] Optionally, the cutting board is slidably mounted with a mounting seat, and the sliding direction of the mounting seat is staggered with the extension direction of the cutting board; the mounting seat is provided with a movable hole, the cutting knife is movably mounted in the movable hole, and the support plate is provided with a positioning groove for the cutting knife to be inserted.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the cutting knife is inserted into the positioning groove, which reduces the situation where the cutting knife cuts the film during the process of making the sponge sheet, and increases the stability of the cutting knife on the cutting board.

[0020] Optionally, a second spring is provided between the cutting knife and the mounting seat, and the elastic force of the second spring drives the cutting knife to be inserted into the positioning groove under normal conditions.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic force of the second spring can drive the cutting knife to be inserted into the positioning groove under normal conditions, further reducing the possibility of the cutting knife being detached from the positioning groove during the operation of the device.

[0022] Optionally, a spray assembly is also included, which includes a spray head, a spray tube and a linear module. The linear module is installed on the gantry, and the spray head is installed on the slide of the linear module; one end of the spray tube is connected to the spray head, and the other end of the spray tube is connected to an external feeding device.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the linear module can drive the spray head to move back and forth, so that the spray head sprays the foam in the feeding device evenly above the frame, so that the foam forms a sheet.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. By providing a cleaning component, when making sponge sheets, the spray device accumulates on the side of the baffle with the film, that is, the residue is attached to the surface of the film. Therefore, when cleaning the residue on the baffle surface, it is only necessary to disconnect the film from the baffle and tear off the film with the residue. This improves the convenience of cleaning the residue on the baffle surface, reduces the need to remove the baffle from the gantry for cleaning, and improves work efficiency.

[0026] 2. By setting a pressing plate, the pressing plate maintains a tight contact with the film under the elastic force of the first spring, so that when the film is connected to the baffle, it can effectively prevent the film from loosening, ensuring that the film always maintains a certain tension; and after the cutting knife cuts the film, it reduces the situation where the film escapes from the movable groove, so that a new film can be re-covered on one side of the baffle.
