TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of hot press, specifically relates to a continuous hot press. BACKGROUND
[0002] The continuous hot press is an important equipment for composite material forming and processing, such as wood processing, composite material manufacturing and plastic forming equipment. The continuous hot press processes materials into the required shape and performance through heating and pressing.
[0003] In the traditional hot press design, the equipment is usually composed of a base, a main frame, rotating rollers, a steel belt, a pressing plate and other core components. The rotating rollers drive the steel belt to move in a cycle, so that the materials pass through the heating and pressing area under the transmission of the steel belt, thereby realizing continuous processing.
[0004] When processing materials of different thicknesses, the pressing plate spacing needs to be adjusted to automatically adjust the processing thickness. However, the distance between the pressing plates of the current hot press is fixed and cannot be conveniently adjusted.
[0005] The traditional pressing machine needs to use auxiliary tools to move the pressing plate out of the pressing machine, and the pressing plate needs to be installed on the base through the auxiliary tools during installation. The pressing plate maintenance or steel belt replacement is inconvenient.
[0006] Since the pressing plate requires high temperature during work, temperature changes may cause deformation of the rack, affecting the accuracy of the whole machine.
[0007] The prior art CN116604918A discloses a continuous hot press, which relates to the technical field of composite material processing. The continuous hot press comprises an upper rack, a lower rack, a rotating pressing roller assembly and a pressing plate mechanism. The pressing plate mechanism comprises a first pressing plate and a second pressing plate. The rotating pressing roller assembly comprises a first tensioning mechanism and a first driven roller. The first tensioning mechanism is drivingly connected to the first driven roller. When the hot press is used for hot pressing operation, the first tensioning mechanism is used to drive the first driven roller to move towards the pressing plate mechanism. When transporting, the first tensioning mechanism is used to drive the first driven roller to move away from the pressing plate mechanism. The bottom of the second pressing plate is provided with a sliding block, and the second pressing plate is slidingly fitted on the guide rail of the lower rack based on the sliding block. The upper rack is provided with a lifting mechanism. One end of the lifting mechanism is fixed to the upper rack, and the other end is connected to the upper pressing plate. The lifting mechanism comprises a piston rod. The first pressing plate is connected to the upper rack based on the piston rod. The lifting mechanism of the prior art is lifted based on the principle of the piston rod. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0036] Example
[0037] Combination Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a continuous hot press, which consists of a base 10, an upper frame 20, a lower frame 30, a rotating pressure roller assembly 40, a pressure plate mechanism 50, and a lifting assembly 60.
[0038] The pressure plate mechanism 50 is located in the middle part of the rotating pressure roller assembly 40. The rotating pressure roller assembly 40 includes a first sub-rotating pressure roller assembly 41 disposed on the upper frame 20 and a second sub-rotating pressure roller assembly 42 disposed on the lower frame 30. The two work together to transport the workpiece to be processed to the pressure plate mechanism 50 for hot pressing.
[0039] The first sub-rotating pressure roller assembly 41 includes a first steel belt 411 and a first rotating roller 412, with the first rotating roller 412 slidably connected to the first steel belt 411; the first rotating roller 412 provides power to drive the first steel belt 411 to move.
[0040] The second rotating pressure roller assembly 42 includes a second steel belt 421 and a second rotating roller 422, with the second rotating roller 422 slidably connected to the second steel belt 421; the second rotating roller 422 provides power to drive the second steel belt 421 to move.
[0041] The first steel strip 411 and the second steel strip 421 move in opposite directions. Together, they transport the workpiece to be processed to the pressure plate mechanism 50. After hot pressing, they jointly transport the workpiece out.
[0042] The pressure plate mechanism 50 includes a first pressure plate 51 and a second pressure plate 52, with a preset gap between them. The first pressure plate 51 is positioned above the second pressure plate 52 and is used to hot-press the workpiece to be processed; its size can completely cover the workpiece.
[0043] Lifting assembly 60, including lifting shaft 61, chain 62, hydraulic motor 63;
[0044] The upper rack 20 and the lower rack 30 are connected by the front and rear rows of the plurality of lifting shafts 61. In this embodiment, there are 8 lifting shafts 61. The 8 lifting shafts 61 are driven synchronously by the same chain 62.
[0045] As shown in Figure 4 The lifting shaft 61 is composed of the upper shaft body 611, the middle shaft body 612 and the lower shaft body 613.
[0046] The middle shaft body 612 is connected by two half shafts 614;
[0047] The lower shaft body 613 is a straight screw rod;
[0048] The upper shaft body 611 is a spline shaft.
[0049] The lifting shaft 61 further includes a sleeve 615, a clamping nut 616, a spline sleeve 617, a bearing 618 and a sprocket 619;
[0050] The bottom end of the middle shaft body 612 is connected to the top end of the lower shaft body 613 in sequence from top to bottom through the sleeve 615 and the clamping nut 616, and the thread connected between the lower shaft body 613 and the clamping nut 616 is left-handed thread;
[0051] The top end of the middle shaft body 612 is connected to the bottom end of the upper shaft body 611 in sequence from bottom to top through the sleeve 615 and the clamping nut 616, and the thread connected between the upper shaft body 611 and the clamping nut 616 is right-handed thread;
[0052] In another specific embodiment, the thread of the lower shaft body 613 and the thread of the upper shaft body 611 are opposite in rotation direction, and the thread connected between the lower shaft body 613 and the clamping nut 616 can also be right-handed thread (positive thread), and the thread connected between the upper shaft body 611 and the clamping nut 616 is left-handed thread (reverse thread);
[0053] The top end of the upper shaft body 611 is connected to the spline sleeve 617, the bearing 618 and the sprocket 619 in sequence from bottom to top. The top end of the upper shaft body 611 is matched with the spline sleeve 617 through spline to realize torque transmission. The bearing 618 is located above the spline sleeve 617 to support the sprocket 619 and reduce radial / axial load. The sprocket 619 is meshed with the chain 62, and the sprocket 619 is driven to rotate by the hydraulic motor 63. Through the cooperative design of the spline sleeve 617, the bearing 618 and the sprocket 619, combined with the driving of the hydraulic motor 63, efficient and stable power transmission is realized.
[0054] The shaft body part of the lower shaft body 613 is threadedly connected with the lower rack 30, and the shaft body part of the upper shaft body 611 is threadedly connected with the upper rack 20.
[0055] The sprockets 619 of the eight lifting shafts 61 are connected by the same chain 62. The chain 62 is connected to a drive device, which is a hydraulic motor 63. A sprocket is mounted on the output shaft of the hydraulic motor 63, and the chain 62 meshes with the sprocket, transmitting the rotational motion of the hydraulic motor 63 to the chain 62. The hydraulic motor 63 drives the chain 62 to move, causing the sprockets of the eight lifting shafts 61 to rotate synchronously, thus causing the eight lifting shafts 61 to rise and fall synchronously.
[0056] When chain 62 drives in the right (forward) direction, the distance between the upper frame 20 and the lower frame 30 increases under the screw drive of the lifting shaft 61, causing the first pressure plate 51 and the second pressure plate 52 to rise and fall, thus increasing the distance between them. Conversely, when the chain 62 drives in the opposite direction, the distance between the upper frame 20 and the lower frame 30 decreases under the screw drive of the lifting shaft 61, causing the first pressure plate 51 and the second pressure plate 52 to rise and fall, thus decreasing the distance between them. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the first pressure plate 51 and the second pressure plate 52, enabling the hot pressing of materials of different thicknesses.
[0057] With the upper frame 20 and lower frame 30 stable, loosen the ferrule 615 and tighten the nut 616, disassemble the two half-shafts 614 of the central shaft body 612, and directly remove the two half-shafts 614. This avoids space constraints and facilitates the entry, exit, or maintenance of the first pressure plate 51 and the second pressure plate 52.
[0058] The above technical features constitute the preferred embodiment of this utility model, which has strong adaptability and optimal implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
