Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cat bed processing equipment, and in particular to a horizontal double-station cat bed forming machine. Background Technology
[0002] As cats grow, their claws grow longer. To avoid hindering their walking and hunting, they often rub their claws against hard surfaces like wood or cardboard. To make cat beds serve this function, some cat beds are made using scratching posts, allowing cats to rest while also rubbing their claws. Scratch-post cat beds are manufactured by gluing the scratching posts together to create a basin-like shape.
[0003] Existing cat bed processing equipment, such as the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN116330749A, discloses a cat scratching board type cat bed processing and forming machine. This forming machine uses a connecting rod to rotate, which drives the pallet to move forward, drives the guide wheel to move forward, and thus pushes the cat scratching board forward, thereby applying glue to the cat scratching board. The connecting rod continues to rotate, and the pressure plate abuts against the rear side of the annular guide rail and pushes forward, causing the glue-applying wheel to move forward and become flush with the guide wheel again, applying glue to the entire surface of the cat scratching board again. This achieves the goal of applying glue to the cat scratching board for different parts of the cat bed. However, after the cat bed is formed, the guide component needs to be moved a certain distance away before the cat bed can be manually removed from the winding shaft, which increases the workload of workers and reduces production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
[0031] Example: Figure 1-5 As shown, a horizontal dual-station cat house forming machine includes a worktable 1, with a feeding roll mechanism 2, an adhesive coating mechanism 3, and a forming mechanism 4 distributed sequentially along the front and back sides of the worktable 1.
[0032] The unwinding mechanism 2 includes an unwinding shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the worktable 1 for mounting corrugated paper rolls.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the glue application mechanism 3 includes a glue tank 301, a glue application wheel 302, and a pressure roller 303. The glue tank 301 stores glue, and the glue application wheel 302 is rotatably installed inside the glue tank 301. The upper part of the glue application wheel 302 is located outside the glue tank 301, and the lower part is located inside the glue tank 301.
[0034] The glue-applying roller 302 has a grid pattern on its surface, and a scraper 311 is provided at the upper end of the glue tank 301. The scraper 311 is located on one side of the surface of the glue-applying roller 302. When the glue-applying roller 302 passes over the glue, a certain amount of glue is picked up by the grid pattern, and the excess glue is scraped off by the scraper 311, preventing the corrugated paper from sticking with too much glue.
[0035] The pressure roller 303 is located above the glue-applying roller 302, and a bracket 304 for mounting the pressure roller 303 is installed on the glue tank 301. The bracket 304 is provided with a fixed arm 305 and a swing arm 306. The fixed arm 305 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the bracket 304. The swing arm 306 is located below the fixed arm 305, with one end of the swing arm 306 rotating on the bracket 304, and the pressure roller 303 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the swing arm 306.
[0036] An adjusting screw 307 is connected between the fixed arm 305 and the swing arm 306. The upper end of the adjusting screw 307 is inserted into the long slot 309 of the fixed arm 305, and an adjusting nut 308 is screwed onto the upper end of the adjusting screw 307. The lower end of the adjusting screw 307 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 306.
[0037] A spring 310 is fitted on the adjusting screw 307, and the spring 310 is connected between the fixed arm 305 and the swing arm 306.
[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the forming mechanism 4 includes: a base plate 401, a movable seat 402, a main shaft 404, a movable shaft 406, and a baffle plate 410. The base plate 401 is fixed on the worktable 1. The movable seat 402 is installed on the base plate 401 through the first translation mechanism 403 and can move axially back and forth relative to the unloading mechanism 2.
[0039] The main shaft 404 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 402. A turntable 405 is mounted on one end of the main shaft, and a first drive mechanism 407 is provided at the other end to drive its rotation. The movable shaft 406 is inserted into the main shaft 404 and rotates coaxially with the main shaft 404. A clamping groove 4062 is provided at one end of the movable shaft 406 near the turntable 405, and a second translation mechanism 408 is provided at the other end to drive its axial movement.
[0040] The baffle 410 is located on one side of the turntable 405 and moves back and forth axially relative to the turntable 405 via the third translation mechanism 409.
[0041] Specifically, the first translation mechanism 403 includes a lead screw 4031 rotatably mounted on the base plate 401, a lead screw nut 4032 mounted on the lead screw 4031, and a second drive mechanism 4033 for driving the lead screw 4031 to rotate. The bottom of the movable seat 402 is mounted on the base plate 401 via a first linear track 4034, and the lead screw nut 4032 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable seat 402.
[0042] The first drive mechanism 407 and the second drive mechanism 4033 have the same structure, both consisting of a motor, a driving pulley, a driven pulley and a transmission belt. The motor drives the main shaft 404 and the lead screw 4031 to rotate through the driving pulley, the driven pulley and the transmission belt.
[0043] During the forming process, the first translation mechanism 403 drives the movable seat 402 to move away from the baffle 410 at a certain speed, so that each layer of corrugated paper is staggered by a certain distance when it is wound, thus forming a basin-shaped cat's nest.
[0044] The main spindle 404 has a central insertion hole 4041 for inserting the movable shaft 406. The insertion hole 4041 axially extends through the main spindle 404 and is a regular polygonal hole. The cross-sectional shape of the movable shaft 406 is a regular polygonal structure that matches the insertion hole 4041. In this embodiment, the insertion hole 4041 is a regular hexagonal hole, which allows the movable shaft 406 to rotate synchronously with the main spindle 404 and also to move relative to it axially.
[0045] The end of the movable shaft 406 is provided with a cylindrical winding shaft section 4061, and a clamping groove 4062 is provided on the winding shaft section 4061. During the forming process, the winding shaft section 4061 passes through the outside of the baffle 410, and the end of the corrugated paper is inserted into the clamping groove 4062. The main shaft 404 drives the movable shaft 406 to rotate, thereby forming the cat bed. After forming, the movable shaft 406 moves axially through the second translation mechanism 408, causing the winding shaft section 4061 to retract into the main shaft 404, so that the cat bed separates from the clamping groove 4062 and falls off, thus completing the automatic unloading action.
[0046] Specifically, the second translation mechanism 408 includes a mounting plate 4081 fixed on the movable seat 402, a first cylinder 4082 mounted on the mounting plate 4081, and a connecting seat 4083 connecting the first cylinder 4082 and the end of the movable shaft 406. A guide rod 4084 is provided on one side of the first cylinder 4082. The guide rod 4084 is fixed on the mounting plate 4081 and parallel to the main shaft 404. The connecting seat 4083 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 4084. The first cylinder 4082 drives the movable shaft 406 to move axially relative to the main shaft 404 through its telescopic movement.
[0047] The third translation mechanism 409 includes a translation frame 4091 and a second cylinder 4092. The upper end of the translation frame 4091 is mounted on the movable seat 402 via a second linear track 4093. The second cylinder 4092 connects the translation frame 4091 and the movable seat 402. A baffle 410 is mounted on the lower end of the translation frame 4091 via a rotating shaft 411. During the molding process, the cat bed is located between the baffle 410 and the turntable 405 to prevent the cat bed from falling off during rotation.
