Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of EPDM sheet cutting technology, and in particular to a rotary edge cutting device for EPDM sheets. Background Technology
[0002] EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) sheets are a high-performance elastic material widely used in automotive, construction, and waterproofing projects due to their excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and temperature resistance. Its processing mainly includes key steps such as mixing, calendering or extrusion molding, and vulcanization. In the processing, EPDM raw rubber is first uniformly mixed with carbon black, plasticizers, vulcanizing agents, and other additives in an internal mixer to form a plastic compound. This compound is then rolled into the required thickness using a calender or extruded into sheets.
[0003] After EPDM material is processed into sheets, the sheets need to be trimmed to make them into a specified shape. Currently, small trimming devices generally cut the sheet by a cutting mechanism, and then the sheet is manually rotated to adjust the angle of the sheet, and the other side of the sheet is trimmed by the cutting mechanism. This kind of trimming device has relatively low working efficiency, so it needs to be further improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a rotary edge-cutting device for EPDM sheets.

The top of the vertical shaft passes through the through hole and is located inside the groove. The top surface of the vertical shaft is provided with an external thread, and a nut is rotatably connected to the external thread surface through the thread.

[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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an EPDM sheet rotary edge cutting device is disclosed, comprising a table 1, a servo motor 2 fixed in the middle of the lower surface of the table 1, a vertical shaft 3 fixed at the top output end of the servo motor 2, the vertical shaft 3 passing through the table 1 and rotatably connected to the table 1 via a bearing, a support plate 4 fixedly connected at the top of the vertical shaft 3, an L-shaped plate 5 fixed on the side of the upper surface of the table 1, a pressing component 6 fixed at the top of the L-shaped plate 5 and above the support plate 4, an opening 51 opened on the side of the top of the L-shaped plate 5, a second electric telescopic rod 7 vertically arranged inside the opening 51, a cutter 8 fixedly connected at the bottom telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 7, an adjustment component 9 jointly installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate 5 and on both sides of the opening 51, and support feet 11 fixed at the four corners of the lower surface of the table 1.
[0023] In this embodiment, a Siemens S7-200 programmable controller is used for control and operation.
[0024] A support plate 31 is fixed to the top surface of the vertical shaft 3. A groove 41 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the support plate 4, and a through hole 42 is provided at the bottom of the groove 41. The top of the vertical shaft 3 passes through the through hole 42 and is located inside the groove 41. The top surface of the vertical shaft 3 is provided with an external thread, and a nut 32 is connected to the external thread surface by the thread rotation. The upper surface of the support plate 31 is in contact with the lower surface of the support plate 4.
[0025] In this embodiment, the support plate 4 is detachable. During installation, the through hole 42 in the middle of the support plate 4 is passed through the top of the vertical shaft 3, and the support plate 31 is used to support the support plate 4. Then, the nut 32 is screwed on the top surface of the vertical shaft 3.
[0026] The pressing assembly 6 includes a first electric telescopic rod 61 fixed to the upper surface of the L-shaped plate 5. The bottom telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 61 is rotatably connected to a sleeve 62 via a bearing, and a pressure plate 63 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sleeve 62.
[0027] When an EPDM sheet is placed on the surface of the pallet 4, the first electric telescopic rod 61 is activated to drive the pressure plate 63 to descend. The pressure plate 63 is used to press and fix the EPDM sheet on the upper surface of the pallet 4. Since the sleeve 62 is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 61, the pressure plate 63 will not affect the EPDM sheet from rotating with the pallet 4.
[0028] The adjustment assembly 9 includes a first vertical plate 91 and a second vertical plate 92 fixed on both sides of the opening 51. A guide rod 93 is fixed between the first vertical plate 91 and the second vertical plate 92. A slider 94 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 93. A second electric telescopic rod 7 is fixed to the surface of the slider 94. A lead screw 95 is rotatably connected to the surface of the first vertical plate 91 through a bearing. The lead screw 95 passes through the slider 94 and is rotatably connected to the slider 94 through a thread. A through groove 97 is opened at the top of the second vertical plate 92. The lead screw 95 passes through the through groove 97 and is fixedly connected to a handle 96.
[0029] When the screw 95 is rotated by the handle 96, the screw 95 drives the slider 94 to move along the surface of the guide rod 93. The slider 94 then drives the second electric telescopic rod 7 to move laterally along the guide rod 93, thereby adjusting the position of the second electric telescopic rod 7 and the cutter 8, so that the cutter 8 moves closer to or further away from the support plate 4, thus adjusting the cutting position.
[0030] The surface of the lead screw 95 near the through groove 97 is smooth. The top of the through groove 97 is connected to a compression bolt 98 by a threaded rotation. The bottom end of the compression bolt 98 is in contact with the surface of the lead screw 95.
[0031] After adjusting the position of the cutter 8 by rotating the lead screw 95, tighten the clamping bolt 98 to clamp and fix the lead screw 95 to prevent it from loosening.
[0032] The table 1 has a discharge port 10 on one side below the cutter 8. After the EPDM sheet is cut by the cutter 8, the cut-off waste material can fall directly into the discharge port 10, which is convenient for collecting the cut-off waste material.
[0033] Working principle: First, place the EPDM sheet on the upper surface of the pallet 4. Then, start the first electric telescopic rod 61 to drive the pressure plate 63 to descend and press and fix the EPDM sheet. Next, according to the cutting requirements, rotate the lead screw 95 to drive the cutter 8 to move laterally. After adjusting the position of the cutter 8, tighten the extrusion bolt 98 to fix the lead screw 95. Then, start the second electric telescopic rod 7 to drive the cutter 8 to descend. Use the cutter 8 to cut the side of the EPDM sheet. After cutting one side, the second electric telescopic rod 7 drives the cutter 8 to move up and reset. Then, the servo motor 2 drives the pallet 4 to rotate at a specified angle so that the other side of the EPDM sheet rotates to below the cutter 8. Use the second electric telescopic rod 7 to drive the cutter 8 to descend and cut the other side.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it.
