Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bamboo softening devices, and in particular to a bamboo softening device for bamboo flooring processing. Background Technology
[0002] Bamboo plays an important role in the construction industry. Due to its lightweight yet strong properties, bamboo is widely used in building houses, bridges, and other structures. In modern architecture, bamboo is also used to construct high-rise buildings, stadiums, and other large structures, and as a material for temporary facilities such as scaffolding and fences.
[0003] When processing and softening bamboo, high temperature is usually used to humidify and heat the surface of the bamboo to soften it. However, this method alone has a limited softening effect and the bamboo is not soft enough. Therefore, a bamboo softening device for bamboo flooring processing is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a bamboo softening device for bamboo flooring processing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A bamboo softening device for bamboo flooring processing includes a steam cylinder, a cover plate rotatably connected to the upper surface of the steam cylinder, an air supply cylinder fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder, an air outlet cylinder fixedly connected to one end of the air supply cylinder, a plurality of steam holes opened on the surface of the air outlet cylinder, and a rotating softening mechanism fixedly connected to the surface of the steam cylinder.
[0007] The rotating softening mechanism includes a motor fixedly connected to the surface of the steam cylinder. The output end of the motor passes through the inner wall of the steam cylinder and is fixedly connected to a gear. A first rotating ring is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder. Multiple teeth are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first rotating ring, and the gear meshes with the teeth.
[0008] A placement plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the first rotating ring, and a second rotating ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate. A first fixed shaft and a second fixed shaft are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder, and the same arc plate is fixedly connected to the surfaces of the first fixed shaft and the second fixed shaft.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of U-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the first rotating ring and the second rotating ring, and an inclined plate is fixedly connected to the surface of each of the plurality of U-shaped plates, and a screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the inclined plate.
[0010] Preferably, a temperature controller is fixedly connected to the surface of the steam cylinder, and a heating rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, a transparent window is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder, and the surface of the transparent window is provided with water level scale lines.
[0012] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder, and a valve is fixedly connected to the surface of the drain pipe.
[0013] Preferably, the surface of the gas cylinder is covered with a protective sleeve, and a handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. The rotation of the first and second rotating rings causes the bamboo board to rotate continuously. High-temperature steam from multiple steam holes can adhere to its surface. After a period of time, water droplets condense on the surface of the cover plate, causing water to accumulate on the inner bottom wall of the steam cylinder. The heating rod heats the accumulated water. When the bamboo is immersed in hot water during rotation, the originally hard bamboo board becomes soft, accelerating the softening effect. During the rotation of the bamboo, its surface comes into contact with the surface of the curved plate, causing the bamboo to bend temporarily under the force of high temperature, further achieving the softening effect. This makes the softening effect of the bamboo more obvious. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 A bamboo softening device for bamboo flooring processing includes a steam cylinder 1, a cover plate 2 rotatably connected to the upper surface of the steam cylinder 1, an air supply cylinder 9 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder 1, an air outlet cylinder 11 fixedly connected to one end of the air supply cylinder 9, a plurality of steam holes 13 opened on the surface of the air outlet cylinder 11, and a rotating softening mechanism fixedly connected to the surface of the steam cylinder 1.
[0023] The rotating softening mechanism includes a motor 8 fixedly connected to the surface of the steam cylinder 1. The output end of the motor 8 passes through the inner wall of the steam cylinder 1 and is fixedly connected to a gear 16. The inner wall of the steam cylinder 1 is rotatably connected to a first rotating ring 14. The inner wall of the first rotating ring 14 is fixedly connected to a plurality of teeth 15. The gear 16 meshes with the teeth 15.
[0024] A placement plate 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first rotating ring 14, and a second rotating ring 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate 17. A first fixed shaft 18 and a second fixed shaft 24 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder 1, and the same arc plate 19 is fixedly connected to the surfaces of the first fixed shaft 18 and the second fixed shaft 24.
[0025] In this invention, a cover plate 2 is used to seal the upper surface of the steam cylinder 1, ensuring a constant operating temperature inside the steam cylinder 1. A gas delivery cylinder 9 is used to deliver high-temperature steam to the outlet cylinder 11, and the steam is discharged through multiple steam holes 13 for heating. A motor 8 is used to start the motor, and the output end of the motor 8 drives the gear 16 to rotate. The gear 16 meshes with the teeth 15, and the rotation of the gear 16 drives the first rotating ring 14 to rotate through the teeth 15. A placement plate 17 is used, and when the first rotating ring 14 rotates, the placement plate 17 drives the second rotating ring 20 to rotate. A first fixed shaft 18 and a second fixed shaft 24 are used to install and fix the arc plate 19. When the surface of the arc plate 19 comes into contact with the heated and moistened bamboo, the bamboo is temporarily bent under the force at high temperature, further achieving a softening effect.
[0026] Multiple U-shaped plates 21 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the first rotating ring 14 and the second rotating ring 20. Each U-shaped plate 21 is fixedly connected to an inclined plate 22, and a screw 23 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the inclined plate 22.
[0027] In this utility model, by setting a U-shaped plate 21 and installing a fixed inclined plate 22, the installation of the screw 23 is kept stable by setting the inclined plate 22. By setting the screw 23, the operator can rotate the screw 23 to adjust the height, thereby pressing and fixing the plate placed in the U-shaped plate 21.
[0028] A temperature controller 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the steam cylinder 1, and a heating rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder 1.
[0029] In this invention, a temperature controller 7 is set to adjust the temperature of the heating rod 12. The heating rod 12 heats the condensate that collects on the bottom wall of the steam cylinder 1. When the bamboo is soaked in hot water, the originally hard bamboo becomes soft, thus accelerating the softening effect of the bamboo.
[0030] A transparent window 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder 1, and a water level scale line 6 is provided on the surface of the transparent window 5.
[0031] In this invention, a transparent window 5 is provided to observe the water level at the bottom of the steam cylinder 1, and a water level scale line 6 is provided for auxiliary reference and judgment. By controlling different water level heights, the soaking time of the bamboo board in hot water can be controlled.
[0032] A drain pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steam cylinder 1, and a valve 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the drain pipe 3.
[0033] In this invention, by setting up a drain pipe 3, after the bamboo board softening operation is completed, the valve 4 can be turned to drain the water accumulated inside the steam cylinder 1.
[0034] The surface of the gas cylinder 9 is covered with a protective sleeve 10, and a handle 25 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate 2.
[0035] In this utility model, a protective cover 10 is provided to prevent external personnel from accidentally touching the high-temperature gas cylinder 9 and causing burns. A handle 25 is provided so that the operator can easily turn the handle 25 to open the cover plate 2 for operation.
[0036] Working principle: First, rotate the cover plate 2 to open the steam cylinder 1. Then, place multiple bamboo pieces requiring softening into multiple U-shaped plates 21. Next, the operator rotates the screw 23, which presses down on the surface of the bamboo to maintain stable clamping. After securing the bamboo pieces, rotate the cover plate 2 to close the steam cylinder 1, start the motor 8, and simultaneously supply high-temperature gas into the air delivery cylinder 9. The high-temperature steam exits through multiple steam holes 13, raising the air temperature inside the steam cylinder 1 and softening the clamped bamboo with high-temperature humidification. The output of the motor 8 drives the gear 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the first rotating ring 14 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating ring 14, through the placement plate 17, drives the second... Rotating ring 20 rotates, and the rotation of the first rotating ring 14 and the second rotating ring 20 causes the bamboo board to rotate continuously. High-temperature steam ejected from multiple steam holes 13 can adhere to its surface. After a period of time, water droplets condense on the surface of the cover plate 2, causing water to accumulate on the inner bottom wall of the steam cylinder 1. The heating rod 12 heats the accumulated water. When the bamboo is immersed in hot water during rotation, the originally hard bamboo board becomes soft, accelerating the softening effect of the bamboo board. During the rotation of the bamboo, its surface comes into contact with the surface of the arc plate 19, causing the bamboo to bend temporarily under the force at high temperature, further achieving the softening effect. Through the above structure, the softening effect of the bamboo is more obvious.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
