[0033] This utility model provides a foam cutting machine. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a foam cutting machine is used to cut foam material 4 to improve the cutting efficiency of foam material 4 and avoid damage to foam material 4 during the cutting process. It includes a support assembly 1, a transmission assembly 2, and a cutting assembly 3. The foam material 4 is placed on the support assembly 1 to support the foam material 4 to be cut. The support assembly 1 supports the foam material 4, and the foam material 4 is cut on the support assembly 1. The transmission assembly 2 is mounted on the support assembly 1 and is used to drive the foam material 4 to move along a first direction on the support assembly 1. In this application, the first direction is specified as a direction from back to front in a plane, and the second direction is specified as a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The cutting assembly 3 is used to cut the foam material 4 along the second direction. The cutting assembly 3 includes a cutting element 31 and a lead screw portion 32, as shown... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the lead screw 32 is mounted on the support assembly 1 along the second direction, and the cutting element 31 is slidably mounted on the lead screw 32, thereby enabling the cutting element 31 to cut the foam material 4 and complete the cutting work of the foam material 4. Therefore, when it is necessary to cut the foam material 4, the foam material 4 is first placed on the support assembly 1, and the foam material 4 is driven to move along the first direction by the transmission assembly 2. When the foam material 4 moves to a certain position along the first direction, the lead screw 32 is rotated to drive the cutting element 31 to move along the second direction, and the cutting element 31 then cuts the foam material 4 along the second direction, thereby completing the cutting work of the foam material 4.

[0035] The support assembly 1 also includes a support plate 11 on which the foam material 4 is placed. In order to enable the foam material 4 to move along the first direction on the support plate 11, the transmission assembly 2 also includes a guide wheel set 21, which is mounted on the support plate 11 and is used to drive the foam material 4 to move along the first direction on the support plate 11. The rotation of the rollers in the guide wheel set 21 drives the foam material 4 to move along the first direction on the support plate 11, so that the foam material 4 can move to a certain position to be cut by the cutting member 31.

[0036] Specifically, to enable the cutting element 31 to slide along the second direction and cut the foam material 4, the cutting element 31 includes a heating wire 311 and a sliding seat 312. The sliding seat 312 is slidably mounted on the lead screw portion 32. The rotation of the lead screw portion 32 drives the sliding seat 312 to slide in the second direction, and the heating wire 311 is fixed on the sliding seat 312. Simultaneously, the support assembly 1 also includes a cutting bracket 12, which is mounted on the support plate 11 along the second direction. The lead screw portion 32 is also mounted on the cutting bracket 12 along the second direction, and the cutting bracket 12 has a gantry frame structure. The foam material 4 moves below the cutting bracket 12 and is thus cut by the cutting element 31. In this embodiment, the heating wire 311 is a nickel-chromium heating wire 311, which can rapidly heat up after being energized for cutting the foam material 4. Furthermore, no gas or liquid fuel is needed during the cutting process of the foam material 4, reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution. In this application, to prevent the heating wire 311 from shifting during cutting, two lead screws are installed. The two lead screws are located above and below the support plate 11, and are parallel to each other. They are the first lead screw and the second lead screw, respectively. The first lead screw is located above the support plate 11, and the second lead screw is located below the support plate 11. The sliding seat 312 is slidably installed on the first lead screw and the second lead screw, respectively. Therefore, the heating wire 311 is perpendicular to the support plate 11. In order to allow the heating wire 311 to move in the second direction and avoid being blocked by the support plate 11, a wire groove 111 is provided on the support plate 11. The wire groove 111 is set along the second direction to allow the heating wire 311 to move within the wire groove 111, so that the heating wire 311 can move in a direction perpendicular to the support plate 11, and cut the foam material 4 during the movement.

[0037] Since the widths of foam materials 4 vary depending on their specifications, and in order for the guide wheel assembly 21 to smoothly drive the foam materials 4 placed on the support plate 11, the guide wheel assembly 21 needs to be in close contact with the foam materials 4. The rotation of the guide wheel assembly 21 drives the foam materials 4 to move on the support plate 11, allowing the foam materials 4 to be cut by the cutting component 31. The guide wheel assembly 21 includes a first guide wheel 211 and a second guide wheel 212. The first guide wheel 211 is mounted on the support plate 11, and the second guide wheel 212 is slidably mounted in the guide wheel groove 112 of the support plate 11. The guide wheel groove 112 is arranged along a second direction. Specifically, the first guide wheel 211 is fixed in position, and the second guide wheel 212 adjusts the distance between the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 by sliding along the guide wheel groove 112, thereby accommodating foam materials 4 of different widths. When the width of the foam material 4 is relatively wide, the second guide wheel 212 slides away from the first guide wheel 211, thereby increasing the distance between the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212. The foam material 4 is then placed between the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212, so that the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 are respectively in contact with the foam material 4. The foam material 4 is driven to move along the first direction on the support plate 11 by rotating the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212. When the width of the foam material 4 is relatively narrow, the second guide wheel 212 slides towards the opposite direction of the first guide wheel 211, thereby shortening the distance between the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212, so that the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 are respectively in contact with the foam material 4, so that the guide wheel assembly can drive the foam material 4 to slide along the first direction on the support plate 11.

[0038] In order to drive the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 to rotate, the transmission assembly 2 also includes a transmission motor 22, which is respectively mounted on the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212, and is used to drive the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 to rotate respectively. By allowing the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 to rotate respectively, the foam material 4 is moved on the support plate 11 along the first direction.

[0039] When the foam material 4 moves on the support plate 11, it is necessary to keep the foam material 4 moving stably along the first direction to avoid the foam material 4 deviating during the movement, which would affect the cutting of the foam material 4 by the cutting element 31 and affect the quality of the final cut product. Therefore, in this application, the transmission assembly 2 also includes a guide plate 23, which is installed on the support plate 11 along the first direction and controls the movement direction of the foam material 4. That is, when the foam material 4 moves on the support plate 11, the guide plate 23 abuts against the foam material 4 to limit the foam material 4 from deviating, so that the foam material 4 only moves along the first direction, thereby allowing the foam material 4 to move to the designated position to be cut by the cutting element 31.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, to prevent the sliding seat 312 from shifting during sliding and to guide it to slide in the second direction, ensuring that the heating wire 311 can correctly cut the foam material 4, the cutting assembly 3 also includes a guide rail 33. The guide rail 33 is mounted on the support assembly 1 in the second direction. Specifically, the guide rail 33 is mounted on the cutting bracket 12, and the cutting element 31 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 33. Specifically, the sliding seat 312 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 33. By having the lead screw 32 drive the sliding seat 312 to slide in the second direction, and then the guide rail 33 guides the sliding seat 312 to slide in the second direction, the heating wire 311 moves with the sliding seat 312 in the second direction to cut the foam material 4. Further, the cutting assembly 3 also includes a guide rail seat 34, which is mounted on the cutting bracket 12, and then the guide rail 33 is mounted on the guide rail seat 34. This prevents the cutting bracket 12 from shaking when the sliding seat 312 slides on the guide rail 33, thus affecting the cutting of the foam material 4 by the cutting element 31.

[0041] Furthermore, to allow the sliding seat 312 to slide, the lead screw 32 needs to be rotated, thereby moving the sliding seat 312 in the second direction. This allows the sliding seat 312 to slide along the guide rail 33 and drive the heating wire 311 to cut the foam material 4. Therefore, in this application, the cutting assembly 3 also includes a driving member 35, which is mounted on the support assembly 1. Specifically, the driving member 35 is mounted on the cutting bracket 12 and is connected to the lead screw 32. The driving member 35 drives the lead screw 32 to rotate, allowing the sliding seat 312 to slide and drive the heating wire 311 to cut the foam material 4. Specifically, the driving member 35 includes a cutting motor 351 and a motor bracket 352. The motor bracket 352 is fixed on the cutting bracket 12, and the cutting motor 351 is mounted on the motor bracket 352. The cutting motor 351 is then connected to the lead screw 32. In addition, to prevent the lead screw 32 and guide rail 33 from being damaged during the operation of the foam cutter in this application, the cutting assembly also includes a cover plate 36. The cover plate 36 is installed above the lead screw 32 and guide rail 33 to cover the lead screw 32 and guide rail 33 and prevent them from being damaged.

[0042] Since the foam material 4 moves on the support plate 11, in order to prevent the support plate 11 from shaking or shifting its position when the foam material 4 moves, thus affecting the cutting of the foam material 4 by the cutting component 31, the support assembly 1 also includes a base plate 13 and an angle iron 14. The support plate 11 is mounted on the base plate 13, and the angle iron 14 is used to fix the base plate 13 and the support plate 11. The stability of the support plate 11 is enhanced by the base plate 13 and the angle iron 14, so as to prevent the support plate 11 from shifting when the foam material 4 moves, thus avoiding affecting the cutting of the foam material 4 by the cutting component 31.

[0043] In summary, when using the foam cutting machine of this application to cut foam material 4, first adjust the distance between the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 in the guide wheel assembly 21 to match the foam material 4 to be cut, ensuring that the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 can fit against the foam material 4. After adjusting the guide wheel assembly 21, place the foam material 4 on the support plate 11, and then start the transmission motor 22. The transmission motor 22 drives the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 to rotate, causing the foam material 4 to move along the first direction toward the cutting part 31. When the foam material 4 moves to the position where it needs to be cut, start the cutting motor 351 and energize the heating wire 311, causing the lead screw 32 to rotate and drive the sliding seat 312 to slide along the guide rail 33. The heating wire 311 cuts the foam material 4 during the sliding of the sliding seat 312, thus completing the cutting of the foam material 4.

[0044] It should be understood that the application of this utility model is not limited to the examples above.
