Detailed Implementation

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 A spraying device for needle punching production includes a mounting frame 1, a housing 2, and a mounting base 3. The mounting frame 1 is mounted above the feeding conveyor belt of the needle punching machine. The mounting base 3 has a through groove 4, and a bolt 5 is threadedly connected to one side of the through groove 4. A rubber pad 6 is fixed inside the through groove 4 by the bolt 5. A knob 7 is fixed outside the through groove 4 by the bolt 5. A connecting plate 8 slides laterally on the mounting frame 1 and is provided with an angle adjustment mechanism. A nozzle 9 is hinged to the connecting plate 8 and is also provided with a sliding column 11. The sliding column 11 is slidably connected to a sliding seat 12. The mounting frame 1 is equipped with a cylinder 15. The output end of the cylinder 15 is provided with a connecting rod 13. The connecting rod 13 extends radially to a locking block 14 that is adapted to the sliding seat 12. The cylinder 15 is connected to an air pump. The nozzle 9 is provided with fan-shaped nozzles 10. The nozzles 9 are arranged in a circumferential array on the connecting plate 8, with the nozzles pointing towards the center. The nozzle 9 is connected to the storage tank 16 and the delivery pump 17 via a pipe. The storage tank contains formaldehyde removal agent. The air pump and the delivery pump 17 are connected to the PLC control system 18 via an electrical circuit.

[0027] A lead screw guide rail 19 is provided between the mounting bracket 1 and the connecting plate 8. The connecting plate 8 slides along the lead screw guide rail 19. The lead screw guide rail 19 is connected to the output end of the reciprocating motor 20. The reciprocating motor 20 is electrically connected to the PLC control system 18. Optical gratings 21 are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 1. The optical gratings 21 are connected to the PLC control system 18 through circuitry.

[0028] The housing 2 extends through the mounting bracket 1 and is further provided with an arc-shaped partition 22. Both ends of the arc-shaped partition 22 are connected to liquid collection tanks 23. The liquid collection tanks 23 are in clearance fit with the feeding conveyor belt of the needle punching machine. The liquid collection tanks 23 are inclined, with the lower end of the liquid collection tank 12 connected to the storage tank 16. The height of the liquid collection tank 23 is higher than that of the storage tank 16, and the liquid flows back to the storage tank 16 by its own weight. The feeding conveyor belt of the needle punching machine is connected to a conveyor belt motor, which is electrically connected to the PLC control system 18. The conveyor belt motor and the delivery pump 17 work synchronously.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] The mounting frame 1 is fixed above the feeding conveyor belt of the needle punching machine via the mounting base 3. The through slot 4 on the mounting base 3 engages with both sides of the conveyor belt, and the adjusting knob 7, through the rubber pad 6, forms a clamping force with the mounting base to fix the spraying device. This setup is adaptable to needle punching machine conveyor belts of different sizes. When the needle punching machine starts working, the PLC control system 18 receives a signal and controls the delivery pump and delivery pump 17 to work synchronously. The delivery pump provides pressure to the nozzles 9, delivering the formaldehyde remover from the storage tank 16 to the nozzles 9 through pipelines. The nozzles 9 are arranged in a circumferential array on the connecting plate 8, with the fan-shaped nozzles pointing towards the center, ensuring that the formaldehyde remover can be sprayed onto the material on the needle punching machine conveyor belt. The fan-shaped nozzles spray the formaldehyde remover in a fan shape, expanding the spraying area. The lead screw guide rail 19 is connected to the output end of the reciprocating motor 20, allowing the connecting plate 8 to reciprocate on the mounting frame 1, thereby changing the coverage area of ​​the nozzles 9 and ensuring that the entire conveyor belt can be sprayed evenly.

[0031] The connecting plate 8 is laterally slidably mounted on the mounting frame 1 and is equipped with an angle adjustment mechanism. The air pump pressure is adjusted by the PLC control system to make the connecting rod 13 reciprocate. The connecting rod 13 drives the locking block, sliding seat and hinged nozzle to rotate, so that the nozzle 9 can automatically adjust the spray angle as needed, avoiding uneven spraying of fibers in one place due to the reciprocating motion of the screw guide rail 19. The spray range and density can also be adjusted by the PLC control system according to actual needs. The formaldehyde removal agent that is not sprayed onto the inner surface of the arc-shaped partition 22 will splash onto the inner surface of the arc-shaped partition 22 and then drip down into the liquid collection tank 23. Since the liquid collection tank 23 is inclined and higher than the storage tank 16, the liquid can flow back to the storage tank 16 by gravity for recycling.

[0032] The grating 21 monitors the working status of the needle punching machine and feeds the information back to the PLC control system 18. If an abnormality is detected, such as no material on the conveyor belt or excessive material accumulation, the PLC control system 18 can adjust the working status of the spraying device or stop spraying in a timely manner.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
