AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing artificial leather softening machines can only blow air onto one side of the leather, resulting in inconsistent temperature differences and softening effects. Furthermore, the fixed position of the air outlet limits the softening effect.

Method used

An automated softening machine was designed to soften both sides of the leather by heating rollers and hot air blowers. The heating rollers are moved back and forth by lifting plates and reciprocating screws, and the height of the heating rollers is adjusted by gears and toothed plates to ensure uniform heating of the leather.

Benefits of technology

This ensures uniform heating on both sides of the leather, improving the softening effect, and by adjusting the tightness, it avoids the leather stretching after softening, which would reduce the effect.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated softening machine for artificial leather, including a base 1, the upper surface of which is welded and fixed to a housing 2, a rectangular through hole for moving a leather body 5 is opened on the outer side of the housing 2, a transparent observation window is opened on the side of the base 1, the upper surface of the base 1 is welded and fixed to a support frame 3, guide rollers 4 are arranged on the side of the support frame 3, the support frame 3 is located on both sides of the base 1, a heating roller 19 is located between the two guide rollers 4, a leather body 5 is arranged on the guide roller 4, the upper surface of the base 1 is welded and fixed to a fixing plate 6, a sliding groove 7 is opened on the side of the fixing plate 6, one end of a motor 8 is connected and fixed to the side of the fixing plate 6, the output end of the motor 8 is welded and fixed to a rotating shaft 9, the other end of the rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 6, and a gear 10 is connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 9. The fixed plate 6 is slidably connected to the outer side of the toothed plate 11 by welding. The toothed plate 11 is welded and fixed to the slide plate 12. The top of the toothed plate 11 is welded and fixed to the lifting plate 13. A limiting groove 14 is opened on the surface of the lifting plate 13. The side of the lifting plate 13 is connected and fixed to the second motor 15. The output end of the second motor 15 is welded and fixed to the reciprocating screw 16. The outer side of the reciprocating screw 16 is connected to the moving plate 17. The moving plate 17 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting shaft 18. The connecting shaft 18 is welded and fixed to the heating roller 19. The side of the moving plate 17 is connected and fixed to the hot air blower 20. The hot air blower 20 is welded and fixed to the air inlet pipe 21. One end of the heating roller 19 is welded and fixed to the connecting pipe 22. The side of the moving plate 17 is welded and fixed to the air supply pipe 23. A jet groove 24 is opened on the outer side of the air supply pipe 23.

[0022] The fixed plate 6 is slidably connected to the outer side of the slide plate 12 via the slide groove 7. The slide plate 12 is welded and fixed to the side of the toothed plate 11. The slide groove 7 is a smoke-type groove, and the slide plate 12 is adapted to the slide groove 7. The slide groove 7 and the slide plate 12 limit the up and down movement of the toothed plate 11 and the lifting plate 13, so as to avoid shaking when the lifting plate 13 drives the heating roller 19 to move up and down, thereby improving the actual use effect of the overall device.

[0023] Gear 10 and toothed plate 11 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of heating roller 19. Gear 10 meshes with toothed plate 11, and gear 10 causes toothed plate 11 to drive lifting plate 13 to move up and down. The sliding plate 12 slides inside the slide groove 7 to limit the movement, thereby realizing the height adjustment of heating roller 19 and thus the adjustment of the tightness of leather body 5.

[0024] One end of the reciprocating screw 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lifting plate 13. The bottom of the air inlet pipe 21 is welded and fixed to the moving block. The air inlet pipe 21 is connected to the outer side of the reciprocating screw 16 through the moving block. The connecting shaft 18 is hollow. The connecting shaft 18 and the connecting pipe 22 are respectively connected to the inside of the heating roller 19. The connecting shaft 18 and the connecting pipe 22 are located at both ends of the heating roller 19. The heating roller 19 is connected to the air supply pipe 23 through the connecting pipe 22. A single heat source, the hot air blower 20, can meet the heating and softening needs of both the upper and lower surfaces of the leather body 5, effectively improving the softening effect of the leather body 5 and reducing the overall cost of the device.

[0025] Working principle: In use, the leather body 5 is placed on the surface of the guide roller 4 and the heating roller 19. Hot air is introduced into the heating roller 19 through the air inlet pipe 21 and the connecting shaft 18 by the hot air blower 20. After heating the heating roller 19, the hot air enters the air supply pipe 23 through the connecting pipe 22, and then is sprayed onto the leather body 5 from the air jet 24. The heating roller 19 heats the upper surface of the leather body 5, and the hot air sprayed from the air jet 24 heats and softens the bottom surface of the leather body 5, achieving double-sided softening of the leather body 5. The reciprocating screw 16 is rotated by the motor 15, causing the moving block at the bottom of the moving plate 17 to move within the limit. The reciprocating sliding inside the groove 14 further drives the heating roller 19 to reciprocate on the surface of the leather body 5, thereby making the leather body 5 uniformly heated and softened. The reciprocating movement of the heating roller 19 enhances the heating and softening effect on the surface of the leather body 5, avoiding the situation where the softening effect is uniform due to the leather body 5 passing through the heating roller 19 only once. The motor 8 causes the rotating shaft 9 and gear 10 to rotate, and the gear 10 causes the toothed plate 11 to drive the lifting plate 13 to move up and down. The sliding plate 12 slides inside the groove 7 to limit the movement, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the heating roller 19 and thus realizing the adjustment of the tightness of the leather body 5.
