[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sponge processing technology, specifically relating to a feeding mechanism for a sponge flat cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of technology, more and more fields are now using sponges as cushioning materials. Before these sponges are used, they need to be stably cut by a sponge flat cutter. The sponge to be processed is placed on the surface of the processing table, and the position of the sponge is locked by the structure and protrusions of the surface of the processing table. Then, the sponge is stably cut by a moving cutter. This is a commonly used technical equipment for sponge processing.
[0003] Current sponge flat cutting machines require operators to manually place and feed the sponges. While this method is stable, it has certain problems in actual use. Specifically, feeding the sponges relies heavily on manual placement by the operator, who needs to manually adjust the position and angle. This results in a significant amount of time being spent on sponge placement, affecting overall work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.
[0026] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the feeding mechanism of the sponge flat cutting machine in this embodiment. The feeding mechanism includes a collection bin 3 and a cover plate 4. The collection bin 3 is located above the processing table 1. The collection bin 3 slides parallel to the central axis of the processing table 1. The cover plate 4 is installed at the top opening of the collection bin 3. A cutting component 2 for cutting sponges is installed on the processing table 1. A material picking mechanism 5 for outputting sponges one by one is installed on the collection bin 3.
[0027] Workers open the cover plate 4 and place the sponges to be cut into the collection chamber 3. Then, under the action of the material handling mechanism 5, the sponges in the collection chamber 3 are discharged one by one, and the sponges are accurately and stably placed on the upper surface of the processing table 1, so that the subsequent cutting component 2 can stably cut and process the sponges.
[0028] From the appendix Figure 3 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the material-picking mechanism 5 in this embodiment. The material-picking mechanism 5 includes a transmission rod 51, a rotating end 52, a material-picking plate 53, and a rotating assembly 54. The collection bin 3 has symmetrically opened rotating grooves on both sides. The transmission rod 51 is rotatably installed in the rotating groove. The rotating end 52 is installed on the outside of the transmission rod 51. The material-picking plates 53 for limiting the sponge are installed at equal intervals on the rotating end 52. The rotating assembly 54 is installed on the side of the collection bin 3. There are four material-picking plates 53 in total. The distance between each group of material-picking plates 53 is greater than the thickness of a single sponge.
[0029] After the material on the surface of the processing table 1 is cut, the operation of the rotating component 54 drives the two sets of transmission rods 51 to rotate. At this time, the rotating end 52 installed outside the transmission rod 51 drives the material picking plate 53 to deflect as a whole. Utilizing the gap between each set of material picking plates 53, when one set of material picking plates 53 supports the bottom of the sponge, the other set of material picking plates 53 rotates into the gap between the sponges and squeezes the sponge. At this time, the sponge deforms, making it easier for the other set of material picking plates 53 to embed between the two sets of sponges, so that the two sets of material picking plates 53 can pick up the sponge separately. As the rotating end 52 rotates, the material picking plate 53 discharges the currently picked-up sponge, realizing the discharge of a single set of sponges.
[0030] From the appendix Figure 4As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the rotating assembly 54 in this embodiment. The rotating assembly 54 includes a housing 541, a linkage rod 542, a worm gear 543, a worm wheel 544, and a first motor 545. The housing 541 is mounted on the side of the collection chamber 3. The worm wheel 544 is symmetrically and rotatably mounted inside the housing 541. One end of the transmission rod 51 passes through the collection chamber 3 and the housing 541, and the end of the transmission rod 51 is connected to the worm wheel 544. The linkage rod 542 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 541. The worm gear 543 is symmetrically mounted on the linkage rod 542 and meshes with the worm wheel 544. The first motor 545 is mounted on the side of the housing 541, and the output end of the first motor 545 is connected to the end of the linkage rod 542.
[0031] During use, the first motor 545 is started, and the linkage rod 542 drives the two sets of worm gears 543 to rotate. The meshing of the worm gears 543 and the worm wheel 544 provides power for the rotation of the transmission rod 51. The threads of the two sets of worm gears 543 are opposite, so when the two sets of worm wheels 544 drive the material picking plate 53 to rotate, the material picking plates 53 on both sides will simultaneously squeeze towards the middle, which facilitates the subsequent material picking plate 53 to pick up the sponge.
[0032] From the appendix Figure 5 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the moving mechanism 6 in this embodiment. It also includes the moving mechanism 6, which includes a driving component 61, a connecting frame 62 and a guiding component 63. The connecting frame 62 is symmetrically installed on the side of the collection bin 3. The driving component 61 is installed on the side of the processing table 1. The guiding component 63 is installed on the other side of the processing table 1. The guiding component 63 consists of a housing, a guide rod and a slider. The housing is installed on the side of the processing table 1 away from the side housing 611. The guide rod is installed inside the housing. The slider is slidably installed outside the guide rod. The slider is connected to another set of connecting frames 62.
[0033] Before picking up the material, the collection bin 3 is moved along the central axis of the processing table 1 by the operation of the drive component 61. After the collection bin 3 is moved to the target position, the picking mechanism 5 will continue to operate and directly put the sponge into the center of the surface of the processing table 1, ensuring that the position and angle of the sponge are accurate without the need for manual adjustment and change by the operator, thus saving the overall working time.
[0034] From the appendix Figure 6As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the drive assembly 61 in this embodiment. The drive assembly 61 includes a side shell 611, a lead screw 612, a moving end 613, and a second motor 614. The side shell 611 is mounted on the side of the processing table 1. The lead screw 612 is rotatably mounted inside the side shell 611. The moving end 613 is threadedly mounted on the outside of the lead screw 612. The moving end 613 is connected to the end of one of the connecting frames 62. The second motor 614 is mounted on the end of the side shell 611. The output end of the second motor 614 is connected to the lead screw 612.
[0035] During use, driven by the second motor 614, the lead screw 612 rotates inside the side shell 611. At this time, the moving end 613 installed outside the lead screw 612 moves along the external thread direction of the lead screw 612. The moving end 613 drives the collection bin 3 to move horizontally as a whole, moving the collection bin 3 to the target position, so that the subsequent material handling mechanism 5 can dispose of the sponge.
[0036] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
