Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quantitative feeding technology, and more specifically to a quantitative feeding device for sponge raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] The production of sponges is a multi-step industrial process, mainly including the following stages: raw material preparation; mixing raw materials and additives evenly in a mixer to form a prepolymer; mixing the prepolymer with water, which acts as a foaming agent, causing the prepolymer to expand and form foam; curing the foam in a mold to form the basic shape of the sponge; and cutting the cured sponge blocks into different shapes and sizes as needed, trimming the edges, and removing excess material. The sponge production process requires precise control of chemical reactions and physical processes to ensure product quality and performance. Different types of sponges (such as high-density sponges, slow-rebound sponges, etc.) may have different production processes to meet specific application requirements.

[0003] The quantitative feeding structure of the feeding equipment used in the feeding and mixing stage of the sponge raw materials in the existing process has always had room for optimization in terms of reliability and accuracy. Specifically, in order to ensure precise material control, the complexity of the feeding structure design may be too high or too low, and the operability may not be timely or convenient. In addition, the material needs to maintain a suitable phase state during feeding to facilitate subsequent mixing; otherwise, the material may solidify prematurely, causing blockages in subsequent material feeding.

[0004] The existing feeding equipment structure may not adequately meet the above requirements, resulting in some equipment having high requirements for the operating environment. Therefore, in terms of optimizing the existing equipment structure, there is still room for improvement in the structural design of the feeding equipment involved in this process.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The quantitative feeding involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a quantitative feeding device for sponge raw materials, including a main body 1, a shaking component 2, a collecting component 3, a quantitative discharging component 4, and a picking component 5. The shaking component 2 and the quantitative discharging component 4 are installed in the inner cavity of the main body 1, the collecting component 3 is installed at the bottom of the shaking component 2, and the picking component 5 is snapped into the bottom of the inner cavity of the main body 1.

[0030] Specifically, in this utility model, "installation" refers to the process by which parts or components are connected by reasonable mechanical connectors or fasteners to form a complete functional equipment structure. The stable and reasonable cooperation at the connection points ensures that the parts can work together and move in unison. It is a general term for the overall connection method. For example, the shaking component 2 and the quantitative discharging component 4 are installed in the inner cavity of the main body 1. That is to say, the shaking component 2, the quantitative discharging component 4 and the inner cavity of the main body 1 are connected to each other by means of integral molding, snap-fit, bolt connection, lap joint, etc., so that the equipment can perform the corresponding functions without unnecessary interference or collision between the parts.

[0031] As an essential component, the quantitative dispensing assembly 4 includes a U-shaped clamping plate 401, a sliding plate 402, a quantitative storage bin 403, a base plate 404, a first fixing block 405, a second fixing block 406, an L-shaped movable rod 407, an electric push rod 408, and a U-shaped baffle 409. The U-shaped clamping plate 401 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer casing 101. The sliding plate 402 is movably engaged with a groove opened on the inner side of the U-shaped clamping plate 401. The quantitative storage bin 403 is fixedly inserted through the U-shaped clamping plate 401. The base plate 404 is movably engaged with the quantitative storage bin 409. At the bottom of the hopper 403, first fixing blocks 405 are symmetrically distributed and fixedly installed on the rear wall of the quantitative storage hopper 403, and second fixing blocks 406 are symmetrically distributed and fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 404. The connecting rod of the first fixing block 405 movably passes through one end of the L-shaped movable rod 407, and the connecting rod of the second fixing block 406 movably passes through the other end of the L-shaped movable rod 407. The electric push rod 408 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer casing 101, and the U-shaped baffle 409 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the U-shaped clamping plate 401. (Refer to...) Figures 2 to 4As shown, the above-mentioned structure of the quantitative discharging component 4 is simple and reliable. In the sponge production process of this utility model, the action execution efficiency is high. The control of materials is achieved by the movement of the sliding plate 402, which controls the falling speed and amount of materials falling into the quantitative storage bin 403. The control accuracy is high. Subsequently, the amount of material fed at one time is controlled by the switch of the base plate 404. The above structure does not use too many parts for combination. The overall system structure has good stability and is not prone to failure. It has low requirements for the stability of the production environment and is conducive to the uninterrupted quantitative feeding cycle of the device.

[0032] The main body 1 includes an outer shell 101, a support base 102, and a feed inlet 103. The support base 102 is matrix-distributed and fixedly installed around the outer wall of the outer shell 101. The feed inlet 103 is fixedly installed in a slot opened on the top of the outer shell 101. When arranging the outer shell 101 with the above structure, refer to... Figure 2 As shown, sufficient installation space is still provided inside. Preferably, the inner cavity of the outer shell 101 is filled with loose filler to stabilize the outer shells of the shaking component 2, the collecting component 3, the quantitative discharging component 4, and the picking component 5. Since the shaking component 2 and the quantitative discharging component 4 both have mechanical structures, the vibration generated during the operation of the equipment may be amplified due to the fatigue of the equipment itself after long-term operation. In order to improve the overall vibration resistance of the equipment and reduce the noise of the equipment operation, the above-mentioned filler can extend the downtime and maintenance cycle of the equipment to a certain extent.

[0033] The shaking assembly 2 includes a perforated plate 201, perforations 202, a spring 203, a side fixing plate 204, a drive motor 205, and an eccentric disc 206. The perforated plate 201 is movably snapped into the interior of the outer shell 101. A matrix of perforations 202 are provided on the top of the perforated plate 201. One end of the spring 203 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 101, and the other end of the spring 203 is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the perforated plate 201. The side fixing plate 204 is fixedly installed on the front wall of the outer shell 101. The drive motor 205 is fixedly installed above the side fixing plate 204. The eccentric disc 206 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 205. The above structure of the shaking assembly 2 uses the eccentric disc as the power source for the shaking. The shaking principle generated by the above structure is simple, the structure is reliable, and the action is highly controllable. No matter what the equipment stops under what circumstances, restarting will not encounter any obvious obstacles. The good equipment response capability is conducive to the control of the material solidification inside the device, avoiding its impact on the accuracy of subsequent quantitative feeding.

[0034] The material collection assembly 3 includes a material collection funnel 301 and a material collection pipe 302. The material collection funnel 301 is installed at the bottom of the sluice plate 201, and the material collection pipe 302 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the material collection funnel 301. Preferably, the outer shell of the material collection funnel 301 and the material collection pipe 302 is wrapped with an insulation layer. Although the material collection assembly 3 is a very simple structure as a component of this equipment solution, considering that the raw material feeding state needs to be kept consistent throughout the equipment operation, it is obviously a reasonable technical choice to wrap it with insulation cotton or other materials as an insulation layer when passing through this structure, without increasing the equipment manufacturing cost too much.

[0035] The material handling component 5 includes a discharge funnel 501, a discharge bin 502, and a handle 503. The discharge funnel 501 is located inside the outer shell 101. The discharge bin 502 is movably engaged in a slot at the bottom of the outer shell 101. The handle 503 is fixedly installed on the front wall of the discharge bin 502. The above components can be set with reference to the structure of existing pull-out material boxes. If necessary, a slide rail structure can be set between the discharge bin 502 and the outer shell 101 to effectively reduce the difficulty of pulling out the material.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model can be roughly described as follows: all the drive structures of the executable actions in the device are connected to the control panel. The control panel is based on the basic principles of existing mechanical structures and is connected and controlled according to the requirements of the action mode described in this utility model, so as to ensure that the device of this utility model can meet the requirements of subsequent action execution.

[0037] The device is placed horizontally above the ground. The operator puts the material to be quantitatively fed into the interior of the outer casing 101 through the feed port 103. When the material reaches the top of the sprue plate 201, in order to prevent the material from solidifying inside the device, the drive motor 205 starts to work. The output end drives the eccentric disc 206 to start rotating. The eccentric rotation of the eccentric disc 206 continuously applies an inward periodic force to the sprue plate 201, thereby causing the sprue plate 201 to begin to retract in a regular manner. The above action structure is simple and controllable, and the machine can be stopped at any time to ensure quantitative control of material feeding.

[0038] At the same time, the spring 203 receives the backward elastic force and releases the forward thrust, so that the sluice plate 201 achieves the effect of vibrating material feeding. The material can quickly pass through the sluice plate 201 into the collecting component 3 and the quantitative discharging component 4 below, thereby effectively preventing the material from solidifying prematurely above the sluice plate 201. After passing through the collecting funnel 301 and the collecting pipe 302, the material reaches the interior of the quantitative storage bin 403. When passing through the collecting funnel 301 and the collecting pipe 302, necessary heat preservation structures can be set to prolong the physical state of the material and make it more passable.

[0039] When the quantitative storage hopper 403 is full of material, the output end of the electric actuator 408 pushes the quantitative storage hopper 403 to begin horizontal translation. When the quantitative storage hopper 403 moves past the position that can be blocked by the U-shaped baffle 409, the bottom plate 404 opens and moves in a fan shape along the L-shaped movable rod 407, thereby pouring the quantitatively stored material inside the quantitative storage hopper 403 into the discharge hopper 502 through the discharge funnel 501. When the quantitative storage hopper 403 is translating, the sliding plate 402 can effectively block the outlet of the collecting pipe 302 to prevent material from leaking out, ensuring that the amount of material falling meets the preset conditions. When the material enters the discharge hopper 502, the operator can pull the discharge hopper 502 out of the outer shell 101 through the handle 503 to remove the quantitatively dispensed material.

[0040] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections. "Up", "down", "left", "right", etc. are only used to indicate relative positional relationships.

Other structures can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
