Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a yoga mat rolling device. Background Art

[0002] Yoga is suitable for all kinds of people. There are many kinds of yoga mats to accompany practitioners. Yoga mats are made of natural latex, natural rubber and other natural materials. Yoga mats are soft and elastic, so yoga mats need to be rolled and packed after production is completed.

[0003] The existing yoga mat winding device, such as a document with publication number CN204957894U and patent name "A Yoga Mat Automatic Winding Machine", states in its specification that "the winding roller 11 is also provided with a yoga mat slot, so that the yoga mat can be clamped on the winding roller for winding." When winding the yoga mat, the worker needs to press the yoga mat on the winding roller by hand to ensure that the yoga mat can be tightly wound. Such operation will greatly increase fatigue strength and reduce winding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a yoga mat rolling device, which reduces the fatigue efficiency of employees and enables employees to take the rolled yoga mat more quickly and efficiently, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0005] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A yoga mat winding device includes a winding frame, a sliding frame fixed to one side of the winding frame, the sliding frame is slidably connected to a motor, the motor is driven by a winding roller, the winding roller is provided with a card slot, the sliding frame is provided with a first cylinder that drives the motor to move back and forth toward the winding frame, the winding frame includes a side plate, the side plate is provided with a downward pressure rod pointing to the winding roller, the lower end of the downward pressure rod is provided with a ball, and the side plate is provided with a ball that drives the downward pressure rod to press against the elastic part of the yoga mat on the winding roller.

[0007] Preferably, the balls are arranged in two groups, and the two groups of balls are located on both sides of the winding roller.

[0008] Preferably, an upper baffle is fixed to the upper end of the side plate, a lower pressure rod is passed through the upper baffle, and a lower baffle is fixed to the lower end of the lower pressure rod; the elastic member is a spring sleeved on the lower pressure rod, the upper end of the spring abuts against the upper baffle, and the lower end of the spring abuts against the lower baffle; the upper end of the lower pressure rod extends out of the upper baffle, and the upper end of the lower pressure rod is fixed to a limiting plate; when the limiting plate abuts against the upper baffle, the vertical spacing range of the ball and the winding roller is 1mm-5mm.

[0009] Preferably, a storage rack for placing yoga mats is installed in front of the winding rack, and the storage rack is provided with a second slide rail, the second slide rail points to the winding rack, a vertical cylinder slides on the second slide rail, the lower end of the vertical cylinder faces the yoga mat on the storage rack, and a pneumatic suction cup is installed at the lower end of the vertical cylinder; the storage rack is provided with a second cylinder for pushing the vertical cylinder to slide back and forth.

[0010] Preferably, a contact switch is provided at the lower end of the vertical cylinder for starting the pneumatic suction cup and stopping the vertical cylinder from moving downward.

[0011] Preferably, the winding frame is equipped with a middle guide roller, and the middle guide roller and the winding roller are arranged in parallel.

[0012] Preferably, the winding frame is equipped with a lifting cylinder, the lifting cylinder is equipped with an outer guide roller, and the outer guide roller, the middle guide roller and the winding roller are arranged in parallel in sequence.

[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) This design uses elastic balls against the winding roller to press the yoga mat, so that the yoga mat can be stably rolled up due to the pressure during rolling. Compared with the traditional method of workers pressing the yoga mat with their hands, this design has the advantage of saving the workers the need to press with their hands, making the workers more relaxed and reducing their fatigue. It also allows employees to take the rolled yoga mat more quickly and efficiently, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0015] Secondly, the advantage of using balls in this design is that the balls can rotate at any angle in the horizontal direction. This design can make the friction between the yoga mat and the balls when rolling up be rolling friction. When the winding roller slides out from the rolled yoga mat, the friction between the balls and the yoga mat is still rolling friction. The advantage is that the rolled yoga mat will not split due to the friction of the balls. Splitting refers to the phenomenon that the ends of the rolled yoga mat cannot be aligned due to external friction and pulling, and the ends are often conical. If a round roller is used to die-cast the yoga mat, the winding roller is prone to splitting due to the large sliding friction when it slides out horizontally. The balls in this design have overcome this technical defect well.

[0016] (2) The minimum spacing between the ball and the winding roller is 1-5mm to ensure that there is always a gap between the two so that the winding roller will not collide with the ball when moving horizontally. The thickness of a single-layer yoga mat is 1cm, so when the yoga mat is rolled up on the winding roller, the ball can play a good pressing role on the yoga mat.

[0017] (3) The combination of the vertical cylinder and the pneumatic suction cup can quickly transport the yoga to the winding rack, improving the workers' winding efficiency.

[0018] (4) The contact switch is a common trigger that is quick-closed. When the contact switch collides with the yoga mat below, the pneumatic suction cup sucks air to pick up the yoga mat, and then the second cylinder transports the yoga mat to the winding rack.

[0019] (5) The guiding function of the middle guide roller and the middle guide roller enables the yoga mat to be rolled up stably. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 5 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0033] Embodiment, a yoga mat winding device, referring to Figure 1 , including a winding rack 1, a sliding rack 2 is fixed on the right side of the winding rack 1, a storage rack 3 is provided at the front end of the winding rack 1, and the storage rack 3 is used to stack yoga mats. Then the yoga mats are transported to the winding rack 1 one by one, and then the winding rack 1 rolls up the yoga mats.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 The winding frame 1 includes a machine base, on which two upright side panels 41 are fixed, and through holes are opened on the two side panels 41.

[0035] The sliding frame 2 is provided with a slide rail, and the motor 21 slides on the slide rail. The sliding frame 2 is provided with a first cylinder 22 that drives the motor 21 to move back and forth toward the winding frame 1;

[0036] A winding roller 23 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 21, and the motor 21 drives the winding roller 23 to rotate around its own axis;

[0037] Driven by the first cylinder 22 , the winding roller 23 can smoothly move in and out of the side plate 41 .

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The winding roller 23 is provided with a snap-in slot 231 , which is a rectangular slot. The snap-in slot 231 is opened along the length direction of the winding roller 23 , and the end of the snap-in slot 231 away from the motor 21 passes through the end of the winding roller 23 .

[0039] Figure 3 The winding frame 1 is equipped with an intermediate guide roller 11, which is fixed to the winding frame 1 through a bearing. The intermediate guide roller 11 and the winding roller 23 are arranged in parallel.

[0040] The winding frame 1 is equipped with a lifting cylinder 13, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 13 is vertically upward, and a connecting rod is installed on the piston rod. Vertical grooves are opened on both sides of the winding frame 1, and the two ends of the connecting rod slide in the vertical grooves to ensure its stable vertical back and forth movement.

[0041] The connecting rod is equipped with an outer guide roller 12 via a bearing. The outer guide roller 12, the middle guide roller 11 and the winding roller 23 are arranged in parallel in sequence.

[0042] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The working principle of the winding roller 23 is that the employee inserts one end of the yoga mat into the card slot 231, and then the motor 21 drives the winding roller 23 to rotate to complete the winding of the yoga mat, and then the first cylinder 22 drives the winding roller 23 to pull out the yoga mat.

[0043] Figure 1 and Figure 2 An upper baffle 42 is fixed to the upper end of the side plate 41 of the winding frame 1, and a lower pressure rod 45 is passed through the upper baffle 42. The lower end of the lower pressure rod 45 is fixed to the lower baffle 43. The lower pressure rod 45 is sleeved with an elastic member 46. The elastic member 46 is a spring. The upper end of the spring abuts against the upper baffle 42, and the lower end of the spring abuts against the lower baffle 43.

[0044] Since the upper baffle 42 is fixed, the spring drives the pressing rod 45 to move downward.

[0045] The upper end of the lower pressure rod 45 extends out of the upper baffle 42, and the upper end of the lower pressure rod 45 is threadedly fixed to the limit plate 44; when the limit plate 44 contacts the upper baffle 42, the lower end of the lower pressure rod 45 is installed with a freely rotating ball 5; the lower pressure rod 45 is provided with a spherical groove, and the ball 5 can rotate freely in the spherical groove, and the lower end of the ball 5 is exposed from the spherical groove to ensure that the ball contacts the yoga mat.

[0046] When the limiting plate 44 contacts the upper baffle 42 , the vertical distance between the ball 5 and the winding roller 23 is 2 mm.

[0047] Figure 1 The balls 5 are arranged in two groups, and the two groups of balls 5 are located on both sides of the winding roller 23, so that there is enough space between the balls 5 for employees to take the yoga mat.

[0048] Figure 1 and Figure 5 A concave frame is fixed on the upper surface of the storage rack 3, and a second cylinder 32 is installed on the concave frame. The piston rod of the second cylinder 32 points to the winding rack 1, and the piston rod of the second cylinder 32 is fixed to the vertical cylinder 33; the storage rack 3 is provided with a second slide rail 31, and the second slide rail 31 points to the winding rack 1. A slide groove is provided on the side of the vertical cylinder 33, and the slide groove slides on the second slide rail 31;

[0049] Therefore, under the drive of the second cylinder 32, the vertical cylinder 33 moves back and forth toward the winding frame 1

[0050] The lower end of the vertical cylinder 33 faces the yoga mat on the shelf 3, and the lower end of the vertical cylinder 33 is installed with a pneumatic suction cup 34;

[0051] A contact switch 6 is provided at the lower end of the vertical cylinder 33 for starting the pneumatic suction cup 34 and stopping the vertical cylinder 33 from moving downward. The contact switch 6 is an elastic rod contact switch.

[0052] The working principle is:

[0053] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 The winding roller 23 is initially separated from the winding rack 1. At this time, the vertical cylinder 33 drives the pneumatic suction cup 34 to move downward. After the contact switch 6 touches the yoga mat, the pneumatic suction cup 34 sucks the yoga mat on the upper layer, and the vertical cylinder 33 stops; then the second cylinder 32 transports the yoga mat on the pneumatic suction cup 34 to the position of the winding rack 1, the pneumatic suction cup 34 releases the air, and then the yoga mat falls on the winding rack 1 for employees to pick up. The stroke of the second cylinder 32 is limited by a magnetic switch, and its back and forth stroke can be determined;

[0054] Then, behind the yoga mat winding rack 1, the winding roller 23 extends into the position of the two side plates 41, waiting for winding. The employee extends the yoga mat from the bottom of the winding roller 23 into the card slot 231. After that, the outer guide roller 12 rises, and the yoga mat passes between the outer guide roller 12 and the middle guide roller 11 to maintain the stability of the yoga mat winding;

[0055] Afterwards, the motor 21 rotates and the yoga mat is rolled up. Since the ball 5 elastically contacts the yoga mat during the rolling process, there is no need for employees to maintain manual pressure, which can reduce the fatigue intensity of employees. For piece-rate factories, employees can work longer and more efficiently when they are in good physical condition and in good health, which can greatly improve efficiency.

[0056] After the yoga mat is rolled up, the winding roller 23 returns to its initial position and pulls the yoga mat to move. Since the stable elastic pressure is maintained above the yoga mat, friction resistance is generated on the outer layer of the yoga mat. However, the ball 5 is used in this design, and its friction force is rolling friction, which will not cause peeling or splitting of the outer ring of the rolled yoga mat.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
