[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. 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.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a splicing chopstick embossing device, including a base plate 1, a support rod 7 installed at the upper corner of the base plate 1, a top plate 4 installed at the upper end of the support rod 7, a hydraulic cylinder 3 installed at the upper center of the top plate 4 by bolts, an upper mold base 5 provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 3, a lower mold base 2 provided at the upper center of the base plate 1, an embossing groove 10 provided at the upper end of the lower mold base 2 and the lower end of the upper mold base 5, a splicing chopstick top section 8 placed inside the embossing groove 10, an anti-accidental touch alarm mechanism 9 provided at the side corner of the base plate 1, and an embossing device testing mechanism 6 provided at the lower corner of the upper mold base 5.
[0024] Specifically, the embossing device testing mechanism 6 includes a positioning component 61, a red light 62, a green light 63, a power supply 64, and a main switch 65. The positioning component 61 is located at the lower corner of the upper mold base 5. A red light 62 is installed at the center of the side of the upper mold base 5, and a green light 63 is installed on the side of the upper mold base 5 near the red light 62. One end of the red light 62 is connected to the power supply 64 via a wire, and the positive terminal of the power supply 64 is connected to the main switch 65 via a wire.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, before embossing the spliced chopsticks, the main switch 65 is turned on first. At this time, the red light 62 will light up, and the green light 63 will not light up due to the open circuit. When the hydraulic cylinder 3 is turned on, the upper mold base 5 and the lower mold base 2 will come into contact. If all four sets of contact switches 611 are in the contact state, the green light 63 will be in the open state and light up, thereby ensuring that the upper mold base 5 and the lower mold base 2 are in a tight state.
[0026] Specifically, the positioning component 61 includes a contact switch 611, a connecting rod 612, a positioning groove 613, a positioning post 614, and a connecting groove 615. A positioning post 614 is installed at the lower corner of the upper mold base 5. A positioning groove 613 corresponding to the positioning post 614 is formed at the inner corner of the lower mold base 2. The connecting rod 612 is installed inside the positioning groove 613. A connecting groove 615 is formed inside the positioning post 614. A contact switch 611 is installed on the top of the connecting rod 612 and the top of the connecting groove 615.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when the upper mold base 5 descends, it will drive the positioning pin 614 to insert into the positioning groove 613 in the lower mold base 2, and at the same time, it will cause the connecting rod 612 to insert into the connecting groove 615, so that the two ends of the contact switch 611 can make contact.
[0028] Specifically, the four sets of contact switches 611 are electrically connected in series via wires, and one end of one set of contact switches 611 is electrically connected to the green light 63 via a wire.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure can ensure the smooth operation of the circuit.
[0030] In this embodiment, before embossing the spliced chopsticks, the main switch 65 is turned on. At this time, the red light 62 will light up, and the green light 63 will not light up due to the open circuit. By opening the hydraulic cylinder 3, when the upper mold base 5 descends, it will drive the positioning pin 614 to insert into the positioning groove 613 in the lower mold base 2. At the same time, the connecting rod 612 will be inserted into the connecting groove 615, so that the wires at both ends of the contact switch 611 can make contact. If all four sets of contact switches 611 are in the contact state, the green light 63 will be in the pass state and light up, thus ensuring that the upper mold base 5 and the lower mold base 2 are in a tight state.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the anti-accidental triggering alarm mechanism 9 includes an infrared transmitter 91, an alarm light 92, a control component 93, and an infrared receiving plate 94. The control component 93 is installed at the side corner of the base plate 1, the alarm light 92 is installed at the center of the side of the top plate 4, the infrared transmitter 91 is located at the center of the lower side of the top plate 4, and the infrared receiving plate 94 is located at the upper side edge of the base plate 1.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, when splicing chopsticks to make embossing, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is started by the PLC controller 931. When the hydraulic cylinder 3 is started, the infrared transmitter 91 will be turned on at the same time. If the worker's hand is above the infrared receiving plate 94, the infrared receiving plate 94 will block part of the infrared light, thereby converting the infrared signal into an electrical signal and transmitting it to the PLC controller 931. The PLC controller 931 issues a command to control the alarm light 92 to start, thereby serving the purpose of warning the worker.
[0034] Specifically, the control component 93 includes a PLC controller 931, a first mounting rod 932, a mounting plate 933, and a second mounting rod 934. The second mounting rod 934 is located at the side corner of the base plate 1. The mounting plate 933 is mounted on the other end of the second mounting rod 934. The first mounting rod 932 is mounted on the upper end of the mounting plate 933, and the PLC controller 931 is mounted on the upper end of the first mounting rod 932.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure can facilitate the installation and use of the PLC controller 931.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the splicing chopsticks are being embossed, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is started by the PLC controller 931. When the hydraulic cylinder 3 is started, the infrared transmitter 91 is also turned on. If the worker's hand is above the infrared receiving plate 94, the infrared receiving plate 94 will block part of the infrared light, thereby converting the infrared signal into an electrical signal and transmitting it to the PLC controller 931. The PLC controller 931 then issues a command to start the alarm light 92, thereby alerting the worker.
[0037] The infrared emitter 92 in this utility model is a publicly available technology, and the selected model is the Taiwan Everlight LEDPD638B.
[0038] The infrared receiving light plate 94 in this utility model is a publicly available technology, and the selected model is Everlight / IRM-2638A.
[0039] The PLC controller 931 in this utility model is a previously disclosed technology, and the selected model is Siemens S7-300.
[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Before embossing the spliced chopsticks, first turn on the main switch 65. At this time, the red light 62 will light up, and the green light 63 will not light up due to the open circuit state. By opening the hydraulic cylinder 3, when the upper mold base 5 descends, it will drive the positioning pin 614 to insert into the positioning groove 613 in the lower mold base 2, and at the same time, it will cause the connecting rod 612 to insert into the connecting groove 615, so that the two ends of the contact switch 611 can make contact. At this time, if all four sets of contact switches 611 are in the contact state, the green light 63 will be in the closed state. The upper mold base 5 and the lower mold base 2 are in a tight state when the splicing chopsticks are embossed. The hydraulic cylinder 3 is started by the PLC controller 931. When the hydraulic cylinder 3 is started, the infrared transmitter 91 is also turned on. If the worker's hand is above the infrared receiving plate 94, the infrared receiving plate 94 will block part of the infrared light, thus converting the infrared signal into an electrical signal and transmitting it to the PLC controller 931. The PLC controller 931 sends a command to control the alarm light 92 to start, thereby alerting the worker.
