Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of yoga mat production equipment, and in particular to a yoga mat brushing device. Background Technology
[0002] After existing yoga mats are foamed and molded, their surfaces are usually treated to obtain special patterns or textures to improve their aesthetics, anti-slip properties, or give them special functions. Since yoga mats come into contact with human skin during use, yoga mats with a textile-like texture are more popular with consumers. In existing technology, to obtain a textile-like texture, a layer of suede is usually attached to the surface of the mat. During manufacturing, the suede is typically attached by gluing after the mat is molded. However, this method is not only cumbersome but also prone to peeling and delamination during use, failing to meet user needs.
[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a yoga mat brushing device, which aims to solve the problem of interlayer peeling in yoga mats with suede composites.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A yoga mat brushing device includes a conveyor belt, a first traction mechanism, a brushing mechanism, and a second traction mechanism arranged sequentially along the movement direction of the yoga mat. The conveyor belt is used to transport the yoga mat to be brushed. The first and second traction mechanisms are used to pull the yoga mat forward and keep the yoga mat in a taut state during brushing. The brushing mechanism includes a brushing roller group and a polishing roller group. The brushing roller group is used to brush the surface of the yoga mat, and the polishing roller group is used to polish the brushed yoga mat.
[0007] In the yoga mat brushing device, the brushing roller group includes a first pressure roller, a brushing roller, and a first drive mechanism for driving the brushing roller to rotate. The surface of the brushing roller is provided with multiple rows of conical needle tips.
[0008] In the yoga mat brushing device, the conical needle tips of two adjacent rows are misaligned.
[0009] In the yoga mat brushing device, the brushing roller group includes a second pressure roller, a grinding wheel roller, and a second drive mechanism for driving the grinding wheel roller to rotate.
[0010] In the yoga mat brushing device, an air guide pipe is provided on one side of the brushing roller or / and the grinding wheel roller. The air guide pipe is connected to an external blower. Multiple nozzles are provided along the length of the air guide pipe, and the multiple nozzles face the surface of the brushing roller or the grinding wheel roller to blow the surface of the brushing roller or the grinding wheel roller with airflow.
[0011] The yoga mat brushing device also includes a collection trough located below the brushing roller group and the abrasive roller group. A conveying pipe is connected to the bottom of the collection trough, which is connected to an external exhaust fan and a bag filter dust collector.
[0012] Beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention provides a yoga mat brushing device. By incorporating a brushing mechanism, a brushing roller assembly brushes the surface of the yoga mat, creating rough scratches. Then, a polishing roller assembly smooths the surface, refining the rough scratches and creating a fine velvet texture, similar to suede. Yoga mats treated with this device achieve a suede-like texture without the need for additional suede lamination, and they do not experience interlayer peeling, resulting in a longer lifespan.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] This utility model provides a yoga mat brushing device. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1This utility model provides a yoga mat brushing device for post-processing yoga mats or similar foamed materials after foaming to form a suede-like texture and feel on their surface. The device includes a frame and a conveyor belt, a first traction mechanism, a brushing mechanism, and a second traction mechanism mounted on the frame. The conveyor belt is located at the beginning of the frame, and its conveying direction is from the beginning to the end of the frame. It is used to transport the yoga mat to be brushed to the first traction mechanism. The first traction mechanism is located after the conveyor belt, and the second traction mechanism is located after the brushing mechanism. That is, the brushing mechanism is located between the first traction mechanism and the second traction mechanism. Both the first traction mechanism and the second traction mechanism include two rollers arranged vertically and vertically, and a third drive mechanism for driving the two rollers to rotate. Through the traction action of the first traction mechanism and the second traction mechanism, the yoga mat to be brushed can be moved forward. By controlling the rotation speed of the two third drive mechanisms, the rotation speed of the rollers of the first traction mechanism is made less than the rotation speed of the rollers of the second traction mechanism, thereby keeping the yoga mat in a taut state. The brushing mechanism includes a brushing roller group and a brushing roller group. The brushing roller group is used to brush the surface of the yoga mat to form a brushed texture similar to textile texture, while the brushing roller group is used to brush the brushed texture to make the brushed texture more delicate and comfortable, with a suede-like texture.
[0019] In this embodiment, a brushing mechanism is used to brush the surface of the yoga mat with brushing rollers, creating rough scratches. Then, a polishing roller group refines the scratches, forming a fine velvet texture. Yoga mats treated with this device do not require additional suede lamination to achieve a suede-like texture, and they do not experience interlayer delamination, resulting in a longer lifespan.
[0020] Specifically, the brush-grabbing roller assembly includes a first pressure roller and a brush-grabbing roller arranged vertically, and a first drive mechanism for driving the brush-grabbing roller to rotate, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the brush roller is provided with multiple rows of conical needle tips. The yoga mat to be brushed passes between the first pressure roller and the brush roller. Under the action of the first drive mechanism, the brush roller rotates, and the conical needle tips scratch across the surface of the yoga mat during the rotation, forming rough scratches on the surface of the yoga mat.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the tapered needles in the two adjacent rows of the brush roller are misaligned, thus creating irregular and dense scratches on the surface of the yoga mat.
[0022] Specifically, the abrasive roller assembly includes a second pressure roller and a grinding wheel roller arranged vertically, and a second drive mechanism for driving the grinding wheel roller to rotate. After the yoga mat is abraded by the abrasive roller assembly, it passes between the second pressure roller and the grinding wheel roller. The second drive mechanism drives the grinding wheel roller to rotate, abrading the lower surface of the yoga mat, making the abrasion marks finer and giving it a suede-like texture.
[0023] Preferably, both the first and second pressure rollers are rubber rollers or rollers with a rubber or plastic layer on their surface.
[0024] When the brushing roller and grinding wheel are working, some debris generated from brushing or grinding may adhere to the conical needle tip or the surface of the grinding wheel, resulting in a decrease in the brushing or grinding effect. To address this, in a preferred embodiment, one side of the brushing roller and / or grinding wheel is provided with an air guide pipe parallel to it. This air guide pipe is connected to an external blower, and multiple nozzles are provided along the length of the air guide pipe. These nozzles are connected to the air guide pipe and face the surface of the brushing roller or grinding wheel. In the air-ventilated state, the multiple nozzles blow airflow onto the surface of the brushing roller or grinding wheel to remove the debris adhering to the brushing roller needle tip or the surface of the grinding wheel, ensuring that the brushing roller and grinding wheel can better brush and grind the yoga mat bottom.
[0025] Since debris is generated during both brushing and abrasion, and this debris is easily scattered by the blowing nozzles, polluting the workshop environment, a preferred embodiment includes a collection trough below the brushing and abrasion rollers. This collection trough has an inverted trapezoidal cross-section or an inverted conical bottom, and a conveying pipe is connected to the bottom of the trough. This conveying pipe connects to an external exhaust fan and a bag filter. Therefore, the exhaust fan creates a negative pressure within the collection trough, drawing away the debris generated during brushing and abrasion, and the bag filter separates the debris from the air.
[0026] In summary, the yoga mat brushing device disclosed in this utility model, by setting up a conveyor belt, a first traction mechanism, a brushing mechanism, and a second traction mechanism, utilizes the brushing roller group and the abrasive roller group of the brushing mechanism to form scratches on the surface of the yoga mat and abrade it to achieve a suede-like texture. Therefore, it is not necessary to laminate a suede layer onto the surface of the yoga mat to obtain a suede-like texture. Furthermore, the yoga mat will not experience delamination or peeling and has a longer service life.
