Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wet wipe machine technology, and in particular to an upward feeding module for a wet wipe machine. Background technology:

[0002] To address the issue of wet wipes being prone to spoilage and not suitable for long-term storage, some instant wet wipe making devices have emerged on the market. For example, Chinese utility model patent application number CN202121508507.X discloses an instant wet wipe making device. While existing wet wipe machines can produce instant wet wipes, they generally suffer from the following problems: their storage cylinder opening faces downwards, and compressed wipes within the cylinder fall sequentially downwards by gravity for subsequent wet wipe production. This is because the compressed wipes may swell due to moisture, have dimensional errors, etc. Compressed wipes can clog the machine and affect the production of subsequent wet wipes. Users need to remove the clogged wipes to restore the machine's normal operation. However, because the storage cylinder's opening faces downwards and is located inside the machine, removing the clogged wipes requires removing the entire cylinder and all the wipes before the clogged wipe at the bottom can be removed. After removing the clogged wipe, the remaining wipes need to be reinstalled. This process is not only cumbersome, but the clogged wipes are also located deep inside the machine, making them difficult to handle and remove. Utility Model Content:

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an upward feeding module for a wet wipe machine to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Not only is the location of the blockage, namely the opening of the storage cylinder, closer to the top of the machine, making it easier to operate and remove, but also the blockage can be cleared simply by removing the compressed wipe block blocking the opening of the storage cylinder, without needing to operate other compressed wipe blocks or the storage cylinder, making the whole unit easier to maintain.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an upward feeding module for a wet wipe machine, including an upward-opening storage cylinder, a lifting spring disposed at the bottom of the storage cylinder, and a limiting block disposed above the opening of the storage cylinder.

[0005] A further improvement to the above solution is that the present invention also includes a telescopic adjustment component, wherein the limiting block is telescopically positioned above the opening of the storage cylinder via the telescopic adjustment component; when the limiting block is in the extended state, the limiting block protrudes above the opening of the storage cylinder; when the limiting block is in the retracted state, the limiting block does not protrude above the opening of the storage cylinder.

[0006] A further improvement to the above solution is that the telescopic adjustment assembly includes a telescopic adjustment seat, a compression spring, and a pressing push rod disposed on one side above the opening of the storage cylinder. A limiting block is slidably connected to the telescopic adjustment seat in the horizontal direction. One end of the compression spring abuts against the limiting block in the horizontal direction, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the telescopic adjustment seat in the horizontal direction. The pressing push rod is inserted into the limiting block in the vertical direction. The pressing push rod is formed with a pressing inclined surface, and the limiting block is formed with a pressure-receiving inclined surface that cooperates with the pressing inclined surface.

[0007] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the end of the limiting block protruding above the opening of the storage cylinder is a loading inclined surface with its top far away from the center of the storage cylinder opening and its bottom close to the center of the storage cylinder opening.

[0008] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the loading tilt surface is a concave tilted curved surface structure.

[0009] A further improvement to the above solution is that the present invention also includes a full material sensor module and / or a short material sensor module.

[0010] A further improvement to the above scheme is that a sliding cylinder is provided inside the storage cylinder, one end of the lifting spring faces downward and abuts against the bottom of the storage cylinder, and the other end of the lifting spring faces upward and abuts against the sliding cylinder.

[0011] A further improvement to the above scheme is that a discharge stop is provided on one side above the opening of the storage cylinder, the height difference between the discharge stop and the limiting stop is DH, the thickness of the compression block is T, and DH and T satisfy the following condition: T≤DH<2T.

[0012] A further improvement to the above solution is that the height of the discharge stop is adjustable.

[0013] A further improvement to the above solution is that the bottom of the storage cylinder is provided with a dredging hole.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an upward feeding module for a wet wipe machine, including an upward-opening storage cylinder, a lifting spring disposed at the bottom of the storage cylinder, and a limiting block disposed above the opening of the storage cylinder.

[0015] Compared to existing wet wipe machines where the storage cylinder opening faces downwards and is located inside the machine, making unclogging and maintenance more difficult when blockages occur, this invention uses an upward feeding method to supply compressed wipes. This not only brings the blockage point (the opening of the storage cylinder) closer to the top of the machine, making it easier to operate and remove, but also clarifies the issue by removing only the blocked compressed wipe at the storage cylinder opening, eliminating the need to operate on other compressed wipes or the storage cylinder itself, thus simplifying overall maintenance. Furthermore, compared to using a lifting mechanism with a motor, this invention uses a lifting mechanism... The spring is used to lift the compressed towel block, resulting in a simpler overall structure, easier maintenance, and lower cost. Compared to simply using a lifting spring, this invention combines the elastic force of the lifting spring with the gravity of the compressed towel block, ensuring that the top compressed towel block in the storage cylinder is always at the feeding height. By using a lifting spring in conjunction with a limiting block, the lifting spring can be designed to have greater elasticity. Even when there is some friction between the compressed towel block and the storage cylinder, the lifting spring can overcome this and prevent the compressed towel block from becoming clogged, making it more practical.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model includes an upward-opening storage cylinder 1, a lifting spring 2 located at the bottom of the storage cylinder 1, and a limiting block 3 located above the opening of the storage cylinder 1. Compared to existing wet wipe machines where the storage cylinder 1 has a downward-opening design and is located inside the machine, making unblocking and maintenance more troublesome when blockage occurs, this utility model uses an upward feeding method to feed compressed wipes. This not only makes the blockage location, i.e., the opening of the storage cylinder 1, closer to the top of the machine, easier to operate and remove, but also only requires removing the compressed wipe blocking the opening of the storage cylinder 1 to complete the unblocking process, without needing to operate other compressed wipes or the storage cylinder 1, making overall maintenance easier; in addition, Compared to using a lifting mechanism such as a motor, this invention uses a lifting spring 2 to lift the compressed towel block, resulting in a simpler overall structure, easier maintenance, and lower cost. Compared to using only a lifting spring 2, this invention combines the elastic force of the lifting spring 2 with the gravity of the compressed towel block, ensuring that the compressed towel block at the top of the storage cylinder 1 is always at the feeding height. By using a combination of the lifting spring 2 and the limiting block 3, the lifting spring 2 can be configured to have a large elastic force. Even when there is some friction between the compressed towel block and the storage cylinder 1, the lifting spring 2 can overcome this and prevent the compressed towel block from becoming clogged, making it more practical.

[0021] This utility model also includes a telescopic adjustment component 4. The limiting block 3 is telescopically mounted above the opening of the storage cylinder 1 via the telescopic adjustment component 4. When the limiting block 3 is in the extended state, it protrudes above the opening of the storage cylinder 1. When the limiting block 3 is in the retracted state, it does not protrude above the opening of the storage cylinder 1. Compared to the limiting block 3, which cannot move and can only be loaded and unloaded from the side above the opening of the storage cylinder 1, the limiting block 3 of this utility model can telescopically move. By setting the limiting block 3 as a telescopic structure, it is not only easier to load compressed towels, but also easier to remove compressed towels that have become clogged.

[0022] The telescopic adjustment assembly 4 includes a telescopic adjustment seat 41, a compression spring 42, and a pressing push rod 43, all located on one side above the opening of the storage cylinder 1. A limiting block 3 is slidably connected to the telescopic adjustment seat 41 in the horizontal direction. One end of the compression spring 42 abuts against the limiting block 3 in the horizontal direction, and the other end of the compression spring 42 abuts against the telescopic adjustment seat 41 in the horizontal direction. The pressing push rod 43 is inserted vertically into the limiting block 3. The pressing push rod 43 has a pressing inclined surface 431, and the limiting block 3 has a pressing inclined surface 31 that cooperates with the pressing inclined surface 431. By pressing the pressing push rod 43 downward, the pressing push rod 43 pushes the limiting block 3 and causes the limiting block 3 to move away from the limiting block 3. The material storage cylinder 1 slides at the center of its opening and releases the compression block in the material storage cylinder 1. The compression block in the material storage cylinder 1 is pushed upward by the lifting spring 2. The pressure on the pressing push rod 43 is released, and the limiting block 3 will reset under the elastic force of the compression spring 42 and re-limit the compression block in the material storage cylinder 1. This utility model controls the extension and retraction of the limiting block 3 by pressing the pressing push rod 43 downward, i.e., by pressing up and down, which is easier to operate. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting block 3 and the pressing push rod 43 can be integrated, and the extension and retraction of the limiting block 3 can be controlled by pulling the pressing push rod 43 horizontally.

[0023] The end of the limiting block 3 protruding above the opening of the storage cylinder 1 is a loading inclined surface 32 with its top far away from the center of the opening of the storage cylinder 1 and its bottom close to the center of the opening of the storage cylinder 1. With this structural design, the compressed cloth can be directly pressed down and filled into the storage cylinder 1, making it easier to load the compressed cloth.

[0024] The loading inclined surface 32 has a concave inclined curved surface structure, which can better match the cylindrical compression cloth block and is more suitable for loading cylindrical compression cloth blocks.

[0025] This utility model also includes a full-material sensor module and / or a low-material sensor module; the full-material sensor module can prevent too many compressed towels from being loaded at once, thereby better ensuring a continuous and stable upward feeding of compressed towels. In this embodiment, full-material detection is achieved by setting a protrusion on the slide cylinder 5 and setting a limit switch at the bottom of the storage cylinder 1. Of course, in other embodiments, full-material detection can also be achieved by infrared sensors, weight sensors, etc.; the low-material sensor module can prevent the inability to make wet wipes normally due to no compressed towels remaining in the storage cylinder 1. Low-material detection can be achieved by limit switches, infrared sensors, weight sensors, etc.

[0026] The storage cylinder 1 is equipped with a sliding cylinder 5. One end of the lifting spring 2 faces downward and abuts against the bottom of the storage cylinder 1, while the other end of the lifting spring 2 faces upward and abuts against the sliding cylinder 5. The sliding cylinder 5 can shield the lifting spring 2, which not only helps to improve the appearance of the product, but also prevents the lifting spring 2 from directly contacting the hand and avoids hand injury, making it more practical.

[0027] A discharge baffle 6 is provided on one side above the opening of the storage cylinder 1. The height difference between the discharge baffle 6 and the limiting block 3 is DH, and the thickness of the compressed cloth block is T. The following condition is satisfied between DH and T: T≤DH<2T. By blocking the other compressed cloth blocks except those located at the top of the storage cylinder 1 through the discharge baffle 6, it can be ensured that only one compressed cloth block can be pushed into the soaking area at a time, thereby better ensuring the soaking of the compressed cloth block.

[0028] The height of the discharge stop 6 is adjustable. By adjusting the height of the discharge stop 6, it can be used to limit and stop compressed towels of different thicknesses, making it more flexible and practical. The height of the discharge stop 6 can be changed by setting a strip hole in the vertical direction and changing the installation position of the screw of the discharge stop 6.

[0029] To prevent situations where the blockage is so severe that the compressed towel cannot be removed, the storage cylinder 1 of this invention is provided with a clearing hole 11 at the bottom. By inserting objects such as chopsticks into the clearing hole 11 at the bottom of the storage cylinder 1 and clearing the blockage, even if the blockage is very severe, the compressed towel can be removed and cleared.

[0030] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
