Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sponge grinding, in particular to a full-automatic sponge head grinding machine. Background Art

[0002] As a makeup tool, sponges bring many advantages to the makeup process with their soft texture, good water absorption, moderate elasticity, easy shaping and durability. They can create natural and flawless makeup effects, improve concealer effects, and easily handle facial details. Therefore, sponges are very popular in the makeup process.

[0003] In the development of cosmetics and makeup tools, researchers often use sponges on certain products and tools due to their excellent compatibility with cosmetics, thereby providing users with better results. Typically, to accommodate the size of the product or tool, the sponge is polished to create a sponge tip, which is then attached to the cosmetics and tool. For example, sponge tips are used in eyeshadow pencils, concealer pencils, and many other makeup application tools.

[0004] The processing method of sponge heads is to grind and cut a whole sponge column to produce multiple sponge heads. Today's equipment for grinding sponge heads is mostly semi-automatic equipment, which requires manual feeding, grinding with a grinder, and then manual cutting. The sponge heads produced by this method are prone to defective products due to position deviations such as manual feeding and cutting, which is not conducive to mass production and cannot meet production needs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the defects of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a fully automatic sponge head grinder that can complete a series of processing processes of sponge rods in a fully automatic processing manner, thereby processing sponge heads with consistent size and precision, improving the yield rate, and meeting the needs of mass production.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a fully automatic sponge head grinder, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A fully automatic sponge head grinder includes a clamping mechanism, a grinding mechanism and a cutting mechanism. The grinding mechanism and the cutting mechanism are arranged on the same side of the clamping mechanism. The cutting mechanism includes a feeding device and a cutting head. The cutting head is fixedly connected to the feeding device and is arranged on a side of the feeding device close to the clamping mechanism. The cutting head includes a clamping member, a cutting member and a driving member. The cutting member is fixedly connected to the driving member. The clamping member is fixedly arranged on the outside of the cutting member. The clamping member and the cutting member move horizontally under the drive of the driving member.

[0008] By adopting this structure, the machine integrates the three major functions of clamping, grinding and cutting into one, and can automatically complete the entire processing process of the sponge head, significantly improving production efficiency. Compared with semi-automated production methods, fully automatic operation reduces manual intervention, improves the yield rate, and is conducive to mass production. During the processing, the sponge column to be processed is fixed in the clamping mechanism. When the grinding mechanism completes grinding, the feeding device controls the cutting head to advance. At the same time, the clamping piece located in front of the cutting head clamps the front end of the sponge head, and then the feeding device moves back a small range, thereby realizing the forward movement of the sponge rod. After that, the feeding device controls the feeding of the cutting head again, and then the cutting piece completes the cutting of the sponge head under the action of the driving piece. The design of the clamping piece helps the sponge rod move forward, thereby realizing automatic feeding, which is conducive to continuous processing and production. In addition, the clamping piece and the cutting piece can be set as two symmetrical pieces. The two workpieces exert the same inward force on the sponge rod, which can better ensure the stability and accuracy of clamping and cutting, thereby ensuring the consistent dimensional accuracy of the sponge head.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a chuck, a rotary drive, and a fixing member. The chuck is fixedly connected to the rotary drive, and the chuck is disposed on the side of the rotary drive close to the cutting mechanism. A through hole is provided in the center of the chuck, and the fixing member is disposed on the side of the rotary drive away from the cutting mechanism. With this design, the fixing member secures the sponge rod to be processed, and one end of the sponge rod extends through the through hole in the chuck. The rotary drive drives the chuck to rotate, thereby driving the sponge rod to rotate, which facilitates the cooperation of the grinding mechanism to complete fine processing.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing member includes a mounting plate and a sleeve, the sleeve being connected to the mounting plate and arranged in the feed direction of the cutting mechanism. Due to the long and flexible nature of the sponge rod, it is prone to bending during rotation, which can affect the processing and cutting accuracy. The sleeve is designed to fix the sponge rod therein, ensuring that it remains horizontal during rotation, thereby processing a product that meets the required precision.

[0011] Preferably, a horizontal movement device is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the clamping mechanism to control the lateral movement of the clamping mechanism. Because the machine employs a layout in which the grinding mechanism and the cutting mechanism are arranged on the same side of the clamping mechanism, the grinding mechanism cannot move during the grinding process. However, the horizontal movement device can control the movement of the clamping mechanism as a whole, thereby cooperating with the grinding mechanism to complete the grinding work.

[0012] Preferably, the grinding mechanism includes a drive motor and a cylindrical grinding wheel, which is fixedly connected to the drive motor's rotating shaft and positioned near the clamping mechanism. The cylindrical grinding wheel can round the end of the sponge stick, making the finished sponge more suitable for makeup applications. Directly rotating the cylindrical grinding wheel with the drive motor reduces energy losses during transfer, enabling the grinding wheel to operate at a higher speed and with more stable performance.

[0013] Preferably, the machine further comprises a discharge portion, which is an inclined body and has an upper end fixedly connected to the cutting head. The discharge portion allows the cut sponge head to slide from the discharge portion into the collection container under the action of gravity, thereby completing the discharge and collection work simply and quickly.

[0014] Preferably, the cleaning device further comprises a grinding wheel cover and an air supply pipe. The grinding wheel cover is provided with an opening, mounted on the outside of the cylindrical grinding wheel with the opening facing the chuck, and the air supply pipe is connected to the grinding wheel cover. The grinding wheel cover not only provides protection but also forms a simple cleaning device when combined with the air supply pipe. During the high-speed rotation of the cylindrical grinding wheel, the air around it forms an airflow, which is blown out of the air supply pipe. A worker can place the sponge head after grinding and cutting to blow away sponge debris on the sponge head surface.

[0015] To sum up, this fully automatic sponge head grinding mechanism integrates the three functions of clamping, grinding and cutting into one, and can automatically complete the entire processing process of the sponge head. Compared with the semi-automatic production method, the fully automatic operation reduces manual intervention, improves the yield rate, and is conducive to mass production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fully automatic sponge head grinder includes a clamping mechanism 1, a grinding mechanism 2 and a cutting mechanism 3. The grinding mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3 are arranged on the same side of the clamping mechanism 1. The cutting mechanism 3 includes a feeding device 31 and a cutting head 32. The cutting head 32 is fixedly connected to the feeding device 31. The cutting head 32 is arranged on the side of the feeding device 31 close to the clamping mechanism 1. The cutting head 32 includes a clamping member 321, a cutting member 322 and a driving member 323. The cutting member 322 is fixedly connected to the driving member 323. The clamping member 321 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the cutting member 322. The clamping member 321 and the cutting member 322 move horizontally under the drive of the driving member 323.

[0024] With this structure, by integrating the three functions of clamping, grinding and cutting into one, the machine can automatically complete the entire processing process of the sponge head, significantly improving production efficiency. Compared with the semi-automatic production method, the fully automatic operation reduces manual intervention, improves the yield rate, and is conducive to mass production. During the processing, the sponge column to be processed is fixed in the clamping mechanism 1. When the grinding mechanism 2 completes the grinding, the feeding device 31 controls the cutting head 32 to advance. At the same time, the clamping member 321 located in front of the cutting head 32 clamps the front end of the sponge head, and then the feeding device 31 moves back a small range, thereby realizing the forward movement of the sponge rod. After that, the feeding device 31 controls the feeding of the cutting head 32 again, and then the cutting member 322 completes the cutting of the sponge head under the action of the driving member 323. The design of the clamping member 321 helps the sponge rod move forward, thereby realizing automatic feeding, which is conducive to continuous processing and production. In addition, the clamping piece 321 and the cutting piece 322 can be set as two symmetrical pieces. The two workpieces apply the same inward force to the sponge rod, which can better ensure the stability and accuracy of clamping and cutting, thereby ensuring the consistent dimensional accuracy of the sponge head.

[0025] Further, such as Figure 4As shown, the clamping mechanism 1 includes a chuck 11, a rotary drive device 12, and a fixing member 13. The chuck 11 is fixedly connected to the rotary drive device 12. The chuck 11 is arranged on the side of the rotary drive device 12 close to the cutting mechanism 3. A through hole 111 is provided at the center of the chuck 11. The fixing member 13 is arranged on the side of the rotary drive device 12 away from the cutting mechanism 3. With this design, the fixing member 13 fixes the sponge rod to be processed, and one end of the sponge rod passes through the through hole 111 of the chuck 11. The rotary drive device 12 drives the chuck 11 to rotate, thereby driving the sponge rod to rotate, which is conducive to the cooperation of the grinding mechanism 2 to complete the fine processing.

[0026] As a preference, Figure 4 As shown, the fixing member 13 includes a mounting plate 131 and a sleeve 132. The sleeve 132 is connected to the mounting plate 131 and is arranged in the feed direction of the cutting mechanism 3. Since the sponge rod is long and flexible, it is easy to bend during rotation, which affects the processing and cutting accuracy. The design of the sleeve 132 fixes the sponge rod therein, so that it always remains horizontal during rotation, thereby processing a product that meets the precision.

[0027] As a preference, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a horizontal movement device 14 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the clamping mechanism 1. This device controls the lateral movement of the clamping mechanism 1. Because the machine employs a layout in which the grinding mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3 are located on the same side of the clamping mechanism 1, the grinding mechanism 2 cannot move during the grinding process. However, the horizontal movement device 14 controls the movement of the entire clamping mechanism 1, thereby cooperating with the grinding mechanism 2 to complete the grinding process.

[0028] As a preference, Figure 3 As shown, the grinding mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 21 and a cylindrical grinding wheel 22. The cylindrical grinding wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the drive motor 21 and is positioned near the clamping mechanism 1. The cylindrical grinding wheel 22 can be used to round the end of the sponge stick, making the finished sponge tip more suitable for the makeup application. The drive motor 21 directly drives the cylindrical grinding wheel 22 to rotate, reducing energy losses during transmission. This allows the grinding wheel to grind at a higher speed and with more stable performance.

[0029] As a preference, Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a discharge part 4, which is an inclined body, and the upper end of the discharge part 4 is fixedly connected to the cutting head 32. The discharge part 4 is provided, and the cut sponge head can slide from the discharge part 4 into the collection container under the action of gravity, so that the discharge and collection work can be completed simply and quickly.

[0030] As a preference, Figure 3As shown, the cleaning device 5 also includes a grinding wheel cover 51 and an air supply pipe 52. The grinding wheel cover 51 is provided with an opening 511. The grinding wheel cover 51 is installed outside the cylindrical grinding wheel 22, with the opening 511 facing the chuck 11. The air supply pipe 52 is connected to the grinding wheel cover 51. The grinding wheel cover 51 not only provides protection but also forms a simple cleaning device 5 together with the air supply pipe 52. During the high-speed rotation of the cylindrical grinding wheel 22, the air around it forms an airflow, which is blown out of the air supply pipe 52. The operator can place the sponge head after grinding and cutting here to blow away sponge debris on the sponge head surface.

[0031] To sum up, this fully automatic sponge head grinding mechanism 2 can automatically complete the entire processing process of the sponge head by integrating the three functions of clamping, grinding and cutting. Compared with the semi-automatic production method, the fully automatic operation reduces manual intervention, improves the yield rate, and is conducive to mass production.

[0032] In short, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
