[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the automatic sponge feeding device for dishwashing cloth production includes a storage unit and a delivery unit. The storage unit is connected to a delivery channel through a discharge port 1. The delivery unit includes a delivery piece 2 that can move along the delivery channel to drive the sponge feeding. After the sponge enters the delivery channel from the storage unit through the discharge port 1, the delivery piece 2 pushes the sponge to move along the delivery channel to realize feeding.

[0028] By setting up a storage unit to store sponge blocks, after the sponge blocks enter the feed channel through the discharge port 1, the delivery member 2 in the delivery unit moves along the feed channel to push the sponge blocks in the feed channel toward the direction of the dishcloth processing device to realize sponge loading. The storage unit automatically adds sponge blocks to the feed channel, and the delivery unit automatically delivers materials to realize continuous feeding, thereby improving the efficiency of sponge feeding in the dishcloth processing process, thereby improving the production efficiency of dishcloths.

[0029] In the automatic sponge feeding device for producing dishwashing cloths of this embodiment, the storage unit includes a storage channel and a pushing assembly 3, the discharge port 1 is arranged on the storage channel, and the storage channel is arranged between the pushing assembly 3 and the feeding channel.

[0030] Specifically, the stacked sponge blocks are stored in the storage channel, and the pushing assembly 3 includes a cylinder and a pushing block fixed at the telescopic end of the cylinder. The extension of the cylinder drives the pushing block into the storage channel to push out the sponge blocks and enter the feeding channel through the discharge port 1, which is convenient for the delivery unit to deliver the materials.

[0031] In the automatic sponge feeding device for producing dishwashing cloths of this embodiment, the storage channel is located inside the barrel 4, the delivery channel is located inside the delivery pipe 5, the barrel 4 is vertically arranged on the workbench, and the delivery pipe 5 is located on one side of the barrel 4.

[0032] Specifically, the feed pipe 5 is fixed on the workbench along the sponge feeding direction, a connecting port is opened on the feed pipe 5 corresponding to the discharge port 1, and the barrel 4 is set vertically, and the sponge blocks are stacked and placed in the barrel 4, so as to store a large number of sponge blocks while saving the space occupied by the barrel 4, thereby reducing the overall adjustment volume of the dishcloth production equipment.

[0033] In the automatic sponge feeding device for producing dishwashing cloths of this embodiment, the barrel 4 includes two bending plates 6 that are arranged opposite to each other and have an adjustable spacing. A bending portion 7 is provided on one side of the bending plate 6 close to the feed pipe 5 to limit the sponge, and the bending portion 7 is located above the discharge port 1.

[0034] The bending plate 6 is provided to limit the sponge and reduce the material consumption of the barrel 4. At the same time, a gap is formed between the bending parts 7 to communicate with the storage channel, which makes it easy to observe the remaining sponge block in the storage channel and facilitate refilling.

[0035] Specifically, a connecting plate is provided at the bottom of the bending plate 6 to fix the bending plate 6 on the workbench. Parallel first waist-shaped holes are provided on the connecting plate along the sponge feeding direction. Fixing bolts are passed through the first waist-shaped holes. The spacing of the bending plate 6 can be adjusted by cooperating with the fixing bolts and the first waist-shaped holes at different positions, thereby adapting to sponge blocks of different lengths and improving practicality.

[0036] In the automatic sponge feeding device for producing dishwashing cloths of this embodiment, baffles 8 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the two bending plates 6. The baffles 8 and the bending plates 6 can be slid relative to each other, and the distance between the two baffles 8 is adjustable.

[0037] Specifically, the cross-section of the baffle 8 is T-shaped, and the short side of the baffle 8 is in contact with the inner wall of the bending plate 6. Correspondingly, a second waist-shaped hole is opened on the side of the bending plate 6, and a bolt is set in the second waist-shaped hole. Through the above structure, the baffle 8 can slide on the bending plate 6 to change the width of the storage channel and adapt to sponge blocks of different widths.

[0038] Preferably, the long sides of the two baffles 8 fit together, and a third waist-shaped hole is respectively opened on the two baffles 8 and fixed by bolts, which matches the adjustable spacing setting of the bending plate 6 to achieve distance adjustment between the two baffles 8.

[0039] In the automatic sponge feeding device for producing dishwashing cloths of this embodiment, a filling port 9 is provided on the barrel 4, and blocking bars 10 are provided on both sides of the filling port 9. The blocking bars 10 are rotatably connected to the barrel 4 and adjust the switching state of the filling port 9 by rotating.

[0040] Specifically, the filling port 9 is set in the middle of the barrel 4 at a height that is convenient for the staff to add sponge blocks. The bending part 7 is provided with a notch to form a filling port 9 that matches the length of the sponge block. The blocking bar 10 is rotatably connected to the bending part 7 through a rotating shaft. When feeding is needed, the blocking bar 10 is rotated toward both sides of the filling port 9 to open the filling port 9, and then the sponge blocks are added; after the feeding is completed, the blocking bar 10 is rotated inward and stuck into the inner side of the bending part 7 below to fix the blocking bar 10 while sealing the filling port 9.

[0041] Specifically, when there is still sponge block at the filling port 9 but additional material is needed, the sponge block in the storage channel is lifted upward, and the sponge block is added through the filling port 9. Repeat the above operation to add sponge to the upper part of the barrel 4 from the filling port 9.

[0042] In the automatic sponge feeding device for producing dishwashing cloths of this embodiment, the feeding unit also includes a driving component, and the driving component includes a driving wheel 11. The feeding piece 2 is transmission-connected to the driving wheel 11, and the driving wheel 11 drives the feeding piece 2 to reciprocate and cooperate with the storage unit to perform continuous feeding.

[0043] Specifically, the driving wheel 11 is installed at the output end of the asynchronous motor. The asynchronous motor drives the driving wheel 11 to rotate and drive the material transfer member 2 to slide back and forth in the material delivery channel to push the sponge block to feed and reset, thereby achieving continuous feeding.

[0044] Specifically, the initial position of the pushing end of the material delivery member 2 is located on the side of the discharge port 1 away from the dishcloth processing end. Preferably, a second photoelectric switch 16 is provided on the feed channel for detecting whether the material delivery member 2 is reset. The second photoelectric switch 16 is connected to the signal of the storage unit. Through the above setting, when the second photoelectric switch 16 detects that the material delivery member 2 returns to the initial position, it sends a signal to the cylinder in the pushing assembly 3 to control the cylinder to extend and push the new sponge block into the feed channel through the discharge port 1 for delivery.

[0045] Preferably, a first photoelectric switch 14 is provided on the feeding channel for detecting whether the sponge is out of material. The first photoelectric switch 14 is installed on the cover plate 15. The cover plate 15 is detachably connected to the feeding channel. The first photoelectric switch 14 is connected to the asynchronous motor signal. Through the above setting, when the first photoelectric switch 14 detects that the sponge block is in place, a signal is generated to the asynchronous motor to control the asynchronous motor to start and drive the driving wheel 11 to rotate, so that the material delivery piece 2 is extended to push the sponge block in place to realize feeding.

[0046] Preferably, an opening is provided above the feed pipe 5 at a position corresponding to the discharge port 1 to facilitate inspection of blockages and the like at the discharge port 1. A cover 15 is provided to facilitate installation of the first photoelectric switch 14 while blocking the inspection opening to prevent the sponge block from popping out of the feed channel.

[0047] Preferably, a threaded rod is provided at the bottom end of the bending portion 7, a vertical positioning plate is provided on the cover plate 15, a strip groove is provided on the positioning plate, and the cover plate 15 is fixed to the feed pipe 5 by the cooperation of the nut and the threaded rod, thereby realizing a detachable connection and adjustable height of the cover plate 15.

[0048] In the dishwashing sponge feeding device of this embodiment, a driven wheel 12 is connected to the upper part of the driving wheel 11, and a sliding groove 13 is provided on the side of the driven wheel 12 close to the storage unit. The delivery piece 2 is driven by the driving wheel 11 and slides in the sliding groove 13.

[0049] Specifically, the driving wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12 are both sprockets, and the material delivery member 2 is a chain, which is engaged with the sprocket. Through the above arrangement, the material delivery member 2 moves along the material conveying channel to drive the sponge to feed, while the chain is flexible and can bend, which facilitates changing the direction of the chain, thereby reducing the space occupied by the material delivery member 2.

[0050] Specifically, the driven wheel 12 is installed through the mounting frame, and the sliding groove 13 is fixed on the workbench through the fixing frame. When the driving wheel 11 rotates, the driven wheel 12 is driven to rotate synchronously through the auxiliary chain to achieve stable extension and retraction of the chain, so that the movement trajectory of the chain is C-shaped, reducing the length required to accommodate the chain.

[0051] Preferably, a limiting roller is provided above the driven wheel 12 to limit and guide the chain on the driven wheel 12 to prevent the chain from detaching from the driven wheel 12 due to gravity, thereby making the chain run more stably.

[0052] Preferably, the material transfer member 2 is a plastic chain, which can push the material and make less noise when sliding with the sliding groove 13.
