TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to melamine paper processing technical field, concretely relates to a kind of melamine paper's softening equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Melamine paper, also known as "melamine paper", is a material widely used in furniture, decoration and other industries. It has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and decorative properties, and can provide a beautiful and durable surface for products. In actual production and processing, melamine paper often needs to be softened for better subsequent processing, such as lamination, bending and other processes.

[0003] Traditional melamine paper softening methods have many problems. In the past, some enterprises used chemical softening agents to soften melamine paper. However, this method not only has high cost, but also causes serious environmental pollution problems. These chemicals may be volatile in the air during production, causing harm to the health of operators, and during product use, chemical residues may pose a potential threat to users. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the increasing strictness of environmental protection regulations, this method of using chemical softening agents is gradually restricted.

[0034] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: A suitable amount of purified water is added to the water storage tank 4 through the steam outlet 41. When melamine paper needs to be softened, the electric heating iron 9 is activated by the controller 3. After being energized, the electric heating iron 9 heats the water in the water storage tank 4, generating steam that begins to escape. When the temperature sensor 8 detects that the water temperature has reached the set threshold, the controller 3 controls the electric heating iron 9 to temporarily cut off power or reduce its power to avoid wasting energy and water. When the water temperature drops to the preset lower limit, the electric heating iron 9 is energized again to ensure continuous and stable steam generation. The high-temperature steam generated after heating the water in the water storage tank 4 overflows through the steam outlet 41. At this time, the operator places the part of the melamine paper to be softened on the steam outlet 41 for a certain period of time, allowing the melamine paper to soften under the action of the high-temperature steam. Then, the operator removes the melamine paper and shapes the softened part. Because of the softening process… The melamine paper will not harden quickly after softening, so it can fully support subsequent work. Because steam softening is used, a lot of water will not accumulate on the surface of the melamine paper that is in contact with the steam. Also, since there is still some time before the next step, the residual water on the contact surface will be at a high temperature and will evaporate, without affecting the subsequent gluing process. Before softening, workers can use objects of appropriate length, such as wooden boards, to cover part of the steam outlet 41 according to the length of the melamine paper to be processed, to prevent a large amount of steam from overflowing directly without contacting the melamine paper and causing waste. When the water level in the water storage tank 4 drops below the float of the high-temperature resistant float level switch 7, the controller 3 receives and processes the electrical signal of the high-temperature resistant float level switch 7, controls the electric heating iron 9 to cut off the power, and emits a buzzer warning. When the water storage tank 4 is not used for a long time, the drain valve 10 can be opened to drain the water in the water storage tank 4 to prevent the water quality from deteriorating due to prolonged storage.
