[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this is a feeding device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-3 The feeding device of this utility model embodiment includes a clamping plate assembly 10, a conveying frame 20, a height adjustment assembly 30, and a base frame 40. The clamping plate assembly 10 includes a first clamping plate 11, a second clamping plate 12, and a clamping plate adjustment mechanism 13. The first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are respectively disposed above the left and right sides of the conveying frame 20. The clamping plate adjustment mechanism 13 is disposed on the conveying frame 20. Either the first clamping plate 11 or the second clamping plate 12 is connected to the clamping plate adjustment mechanism 13, and the other is connected to the conveying frame 20. The clamping plate adjustment mechanism 13 is used to adjust the distance between the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12. The conveying frame 20 is connected to the height adjustment assembly 30. The height adjustment assembly 30 is mounted on the base frame 40 and is used to adjust the height of the conveying frame 20 relative to the base frame 40.

[0029] The feeding device of this utility model embodiment can handle sponges of different widths and heights, improving the adaptability and versatility of the equipment. Through the height adjustment component 30, the conveyor frame 20 can be height adjusted relative to the base frame 40, thereby adjusting its working height. This allows the feeding device to adapt to sponges of different thicknesses. Furthermore, by adjusting the distance between the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 in the clamping plate assembly 10, it is ensured that sponges of different widths can be stably clamped and conveyed, reducing the displacement of sponges during conveying and improving the stability and safety of conveying.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveyor frame 20 includes a support frame 21 and a plurality of conveyor rollers 22 rotatably disposed on the support frame 21. The arrangement of the conveyor rollers 22 reduces the friction between the material and the conveyor frame 20, thereby reducing wear and energy consumption.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, exemplarily, the clamping plate adjustment mechanism 13 includes a first lead screw 131, a connecting assembly 132, and a first adjusting handwheel 133. Extension portions 23 extend downwards from the left and right sides of the conveyor frame 20, respectively. The first lead screw 131 is rotatably mounted on the two extension portions 23. The connecting assembly 132 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 131 and passes through the conveyor frame 20 to connect with the first clamping plate 11. The second clamping plate 12 is connected to the conveyor frame 20. The first adjusting handwheel 133 is located at one end of the first lead screw 131 that extends out of the extension portion 23. The plate adjustment mechanism 13 converts rotational motion into linear motion through the cooperation of the lead screw and the connecting assembly 132, thereby adjusting the distance between the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12. Through the threaded connection between the first lead screw 131 and the connecting assembly 132, the distance between the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 can be precisely adjusted. Moreover, the setting of the first adjustment handwheel 133 makes the adjustment process simple and intuitive. The operator only needs to rotate the handwheel to move the clamping plate without complicated operations or tools. This design reduces the difficulty of operation and improves work efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 132 is connected to the first clamping plate 11. By rotating the first adjusting handwheel 133 clockwise, the first lead screw 131 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the connecting assembly 132 to move the first clamping plate 11 toward the second clamping plate 12, so as to reduce the gap between the first clamping plates, thus enabling the feeding device to adapt to sponges with a smaller width. By rotating the first adjusting handwheel 133 counterclockwise, the first lead screw 131 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the connecting assembly 132 to move the first clamping plate 11 away from the second clamping plate 12, so as to increase the gap between the first clamping plates, thus enabling the feeding device to adapt to sponges with a larger width.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 132 includes a connecting block 1321 and a connecting plate 1322. Two first lead screws 131 are provided, and a first adjusting handwheel 133 is installed on one of the first lead screws 131. The connecting plate 1322 passes through the two first lead screws 131 and is threadedly connected to the two first lead screws 131 respectively. Two connecting blocks 1321 are provided, and the two connecting blocks 1321 are respectively located at both ends of the connecting plate 1322. The end of the connecting block 1321 away from the connecting plate 1322 passes through the conveyor frame 20 and is connected to the first clamping plate 11.

[0034] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 132 includes a connecting block 1321 and a connecting plate 1322, and two first lead screws 131 are provided. This design enhances the stability of the structure. The connecting plate 1322 passes through the two first lead screws 131 and is threadedly connected to them, ensuring that the movement of the first clamping plate 11 is smooth and not prone to deviation. At the same time, the two connecting blocks 1321 are respectively located at both ends of the connecting plate 1322, further enhancing the firmness of the connection.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the conveyor frame 20 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 24, and the first lead screw 131 is rotatably connected to the first reinforcing rib 24.

[0036] Please refer to the figure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, for example, the front ends of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are inclined outward relative to each other. This design can play a guiding role and facilitate the feeding of sponge.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first clamping plate 11 is an L-shaped plate, and the second clamping plate 12 is an L-shaped plate.

[0038] Please refer to the figure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, exemplarily, the base frame 40 includes two horizontal bars 41, two vertical bars 42, and four legs 43. The two horizontal bars 41 and two vertical bars 42 enclose a base frame, and the four legs 43 are respectively located at the four corners of the base frame. The height adjustment component 30 is installed on the base frame. The base frame 40 is composed of two horizontal bars 41, two vertical bars 42, and four legs 43, forming a stable quadrilateral structure, which ensures the stability and load-bearing capacity of the base frame 40.

[0039] In this embodiment, a second reinforcing rib 44 is provided between each pair of the support legs 43.

[0040] Please see Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the height adjustment assembly 30, exemplarily, includes a second lead screw 31, a driving wheel 32, a driven wheel 33, a transmission component 34, a connecting shaft 35, a second adjustment handwheel 36, a rotating shaft 37, and a commutator 38. Four second lead screws 31 are provided, each located at one of the four corners of the base frame. The two ends of each second lead screw 31 are connected to the crossbar 41 and the conveyor frame 20, respectively. Four driven wheels 33 are provided, each threadedly connected to one of the four second lead screws 31, and are rotatably mounted on the crossbar 41. The commutator 38 is mounted on the crossbar 41. The rotating shaft 37 is rotatably mounted on the vertical bar 42, with one end connected to the commutator 38 and the other end passing through the vertical bar 42 and connected to the second adjustment handwheel 36. The driving wheel 32 is connected to the commutator 38 via the connecting shaft 35.

[0041] Rotating the second adjusting handwheel 36 drives the rotating shaft 37 to rotate, and the direction is reversed through the reversing device 38, which drives the driving wheel 32 to rotate. The driving wheel 32 meshes with the transmission component 34 to drive the four driven wheels 33 to rotate. The second lead screw 31, which cooperates with the transmission wheel, performs lifting and lowering movements, thereby adjusting the height of the conveyor frame 20 relative to the base frame 40.

[0042] In this embodiment, both the driving wheel 32 and the driven wheel 33 are gears, and the transmission component 34 is a chain. In other embodiments, both the driving wheel 32 and the driven wheel 33 are pulleys, and the transmission component 34 is a conveyor belt.

[0043] In this embodiment, the height adjustment component 30 adopts a lead screw drive, which has the advantages of high transmission efficiency, accurate transmission ratio, and smooth transmission. First, four second lead screws 31 are respectively set at the four corners of the conveyor frame 20 to ensure the smoothness and uniformity of lifting. Second, through the cooperation of the commutator 38 and the transmission component 34, the effective transmission and conversion of power is realized, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of height adjustment. Finally, the driven wheel 33 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 31, so that when the driven wheel 33 is rotated, the second lead screw 31 can move up and down along its axis, thereby realizing precise height adjustment.

[0044] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a sponge embossing device, including a feeding device, an embossing device, and a winding device. The feeding device adopts the feeding device described above. The embossing device is used to perform embossing operations on the sponge conveyed by the feeding device. The winding device is used to wind up the sponge after the embossing operation is completed.

[0045] The embossing device uses existing embossing devices, which generally include two embossing rollers and an embossing bracket. The two embossing rollers are rotatably mounted on the embossing bracket, and the two embossing rollers rotate in opposite directions. The height of the two embossing rollers can be adjusted individually to accommodate sponges of different thicknesses.

[0046] The winding device adopts an existing winding device, which generally includes a winding support and a winding roller, with the winding roller rotatably mounted on the winding support.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model.
