Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of floral foam vertical cutting machine, specifically a floral foam vertical cutting machine that is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] Floral foam, also known as floral spring or absorbent sponge, is a type of flower arrangement product made of phenolic plastic foam. It is typically shaped like a rectangular block, but can be cut into other shapes as needed. The foam is dark green in color and very lightweight. Its weight increases after absorbing sufficient water. Like flower vases, it is a specialized tool for fixing and supporting floral materials. Floral foam is indispensable for flower baskets and wide-mouthed, shallow vases. A floral foam vertical cutter is a device that vertically cuts floral foam, dividing a whole block into evenly sized smaller pieces. It can also be cut into various irregular shapes for easy placement in containers for flower arranging.

[0003] In the processing of floral foam, a floral foam cutting machine is required. Chinese utility model patent CN221391265U discloses a floral foam cutting machine that is easy to clean, including a mounting base plate. A dust collection component is installed on the top of the mounting base plate to clean the debris generated during the floral foam cutting process. This utility model, with its dust collection component and continuously operating fan, draws in the floral foam debris generated during cutting. The debris passes through a corrugated pipe into a dust collection tube and is then stored in a dust collection box. The distance between the dust collection port and the floral foam can be adjusted by extending and retracting an electric telescopic rod. When the electric telescopic rod extends, the fixing ring pulls the dust collection port downwards, causing the corrugated pipe to extend and shorten the distance between the dust collection port and the floral foam. This allows for quick and precise absorption of the floral foam debris generated during cutting, preventing the lightweight debris from being dispersed by airflow and inhaled by the user, thus protecting their health. The dust collection component effectively solves the problem of cleaning up the floral foam debris generated during the use of the cutting machine.

[0004] However, during the use of this utility model, since there is no structure on the workbench to press and fix the floral foam, the workers need to use their hands to position the floral foam during the cutting process, which may cause the floral foam to shift and fail to meet production requirements. Therefore, a vertical floral foam cutting machine that is easy to clean is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a vertical floral foam cutting machine that is easy to clean and has the advantage of easily pressing and fixing the floral foam. It solves the problem that because there is no structure on the worktable to press and fix the floral foam, workers have to use their hands to position the floral foam during the cutting process, which may cause the floral foam to shift and fail to meet production needs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a floral foam vertical cutting machine that is easy to clean, including a workbench and an installation box set at the bottom of the workbench. The top of the installation box is fixedly connected to a gantry extending to the top of the workbench. Two placement platforms are slidably connected to the upper surface of the workbench. The top of the placement platforms is provided with a pressing and positioning mechanism that can press and fix the floral foam.

[0007] The clamping and positioning mechanism includes two support plates fixedly connected to the top of the placement platform, a clamping plate rotatably connected between the two support plates, a first hinge fixedly connected to the top of the placement platform, a second hinge fixedly connected to the front of the clamping plate, and an electric push rod hinged between the first hinge and the second hinge.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two clamping and positioning mechanisms, which are symmetrically distributed on the front and back of the top of the placement platform.

[0009] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the mounting box, and a rotating wheel is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. A cutting saw extending into the gantry frame is provided inside the mounting box. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one end of the cutting saw near the rotating wheel, and a connecting rod is rotatably connected between the connecting block and the rotating wheel.

[0010] Furthermore, the cutting saw penetrates the workbench, is slidably connected to the workbench, and a return spring is fixedly connected between the top of the cutting saw and the gantry frame.

[0011] Furthermore, a collection box is installed inside the installation box, and a dust collection pipe extending into the gantry is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box. One end of the dust collection pipe extends directly above the workbench, and a dust collection fan that can connect to the collection box is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the installation box.

[0012] Furthermore, a servo motor is fixedly installed on the front of the worktable, and an adjusting screw extending into the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to it. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the external thread of the adjusting screw, and the placement table is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, and a telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate near the placement table. A push plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a floral foam vertical cutting machine that is easy to clean, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This easy-to-clean floral foam vertical cutter features two support plates and a pressing plate, allowing the pressing plate to rotate between the two support plates. Furthermore, the inclusion of a first hinge, a second hinge, and an electric push rod enables the electric push rod to rotate the pressing plate, facilitating the pressing and fixing of the floral foam on the platform. This improves the stability of the floral foam during cutting, eliminates the need for manual positioning by operators, and thus increases safety.

[0016] 2. This easy-to-clean floral foam vertical cutter uses a drive motor to rotate a rotating wheel. Connecting blocks and rods allow the rotating wheel to drive a cutting saw in a reciprocating motion, thus cutting the floral foam. This solves the problem of workers having to manually position the floral foam during cutting, which could lead to displacement and fail to meet production requirements, due to the lack of a structure on the worktable to clamp and fix it.
