Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of environmentally friendly bamboo chopsticks production technology, specifically to a high-efficiency compactor for environmentally friendly bamboo chopsticks. Background Technology

[0002] Disposable chopsticks are chopsticks that are discarded after a single use, also known as "convenient chopsticks." They are a product of the fast pace of modern life. They are mainly made of wood and bamboo. Disposable wooden chopsticks cause significant deforestation; moreover, inferior wooden chopsticks are not clean, offering only a false sense of hygiene. Disposable bamboo chopsticks, made from renewable bamboo, are economical and environmentally friendly, and are increasingly widely used. my country also utilizes export tax rebates to encourage the export of disposable bamboo chopsticks instead of wooden chopsticks, reducing timber consumption and protecting forests. However, the production process of bamboo chopsticks often involves compaction.

[0003] Currently, in existing compaction devices used for bamboo chopstick production, after the chopsticks are compacted, workers need to repeatedly turn them over to increase the compaction effect. This increases manual labor and makes them impractical. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an environmentally friendly, high-efficiency bamboo chopstick compaction machine, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This application provides an environmentally friendly, high-efficiency bamboo chopstick compactor, comprising two symmetrically arranged vertical plates, a top plate fixedly connected between the two vertical plates, and a movable plate slidably connected between the two vertical plates. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate via two support rods. A lifting assembly for driving the movable plate to move vertically is installed on the top plate. Rotating rods are rotatably connected to the sidewalls of the two vertical plates on opposite sides via bearings. A compaction box with an open top is fixedly connected to the other end of each of the two rotating rods, and the compaction box is located directly below the pressure plate. A sealing assembly is installed at the opening of the compaction box. Gears are fixedly sleeved on the rod walls of the rotating rods. Two toothed plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate, and the toothed plates correspond to the positions of the corresponding gears.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the sealing assembly is opened, and the chopsticks to be compacted are placed into the compaction box. The lifting assembly moves the movable plate downwards, which in turn moves the pressure plate downwards, allowing it to enter the compaction box and compact the chopsticks. After compaction, the pressure plate moves upwards. When the pressure plate disengages from the compaction box, the lifting assembly continues to move the movable plate upwards. At this point, the teeth of the toothed plate mesh with the gears, and the upward movement of the toothed plate drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod then drives the compaction box to rotate, thus compacting the chopsticks. The rotation of the compaction box causes the chopsticks inside to tumble. When the opening of the compaction box faces downwards, the toothed blocks on the toothed plate separate from the gear. At this point, the movable plate moves downwards again, and after the toothed plate contacts the gear, it rotates again. When the compaction box rotates to the point where the opening faces upwards, the toothed plate separates from the gear. As the movable plate drives the pressure plate to continue moving downwards, the compaction box stops rotating, and the pressure plate enters the compaction box to compact the chopsticks again. This process is repeated. Through this structure, the chopsticks can be automatically flipped while being compacted, eliminating the need for manual flipping and reducing labor costs, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0008] Optionally, the lifting assembly includes a cylinder fixedly mounted on the upper end of the top plate, the piston end of the cylinder penetrating the side wall of the top plate and extending downward and fixedly connected to the movable plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder is activated, which in turn drives the movable plate to move vertically.

[0010] Optionally, the sealing assembly includes two baffles symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner wall of the compaction box, and the two baffles are located at the opening of the compaction box. Springs are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the compaction box, and the other end of the springs is fixedly connected to the corresponding baffles.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the baffle is subjected to a vertical force, the baffle will move downward. The movement of the baffle will compress the spring, and the spring will deform under the force. When the force on the baffle disappears, the spring will reset, causing the baffle to rotate upward until it returns to its original position.

[0012] Optionally, limit blocks are fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls of both sides of the compaction box, and the limit blocks abut against the upper end of the corresponding baffle.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation range of the baffle is limited.

[0014] Optionally, a sliding groove is provided on the side wall of each of the two vertical plates facing each other, and a slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove, with one end of the slider fixedly connected to the movable plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the moving plate is improved.

[0016] Optionally, a slide rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chute, the slide rod passes through the slider, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider is prevented from detaching from the groove.

[0018] Optionally, the bottom of the compaction box is provided with a number of water-permeable holes at equal intervals.

[0019] The above technical solution is used to remove the water squeezed out when the chopsticks are pressed.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:

[0021] (1) The technical solution of this application can automatically flip the chopsticks when they are pressed by setting up vertical plates, top plates, movable plates, pressure plates, rotating rods, compaction boxes, gears, toothed plates and cylinders, so that no staff need to flip them, reducing manual labor and thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0022] (2) The technical solution of this application sets up a baffle, spring and limit block and other structures. When the baffle is subjected to a vertical force, the baffle will move downward. The movement of the baffle will squeeze the spring. The spring will deform under the force. When the force on the baffle disappears, the spring will reset, so that the baffle will rotate upward until it is reset. This can seal the opening of the compaction box and prevent chopsticks from falling out of the opening of the compaction box. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 This application provides a technical solution: an environmentally friendly high-efficiency bamboo chopstick compactor, comprising two symmetrically arranged vertical plates 1, a top plate 2 fixedly connected between the two vertical plates 1, a movable plate 3 slidably connected between the two vertical plates 1, a pressure plate 4 fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate 3 by two support rods, a lifting assembly for driving the movable plate 3 to move vertically installed on the top plate 2, rotating rods 5 rotatably connected to the side walls of the two vertical plates 1 on opposite sides by bearings, a compaction box 6 with an open upper end fixedly connected to the other end of the two rotating rods 5, and the compaction box 6 is located directly below the pressure plate 4, a sealing assembly is installed at the opening of the compaction box 6, a gear 7 is fixedly sleeved on the rod wall of the rotating rod 5, and two toothed plates 8 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate 3, and the toothed plates 8 correspond to the positions of the corresponding gears 7.

[0031] In the technical solution of this application, during use, the sealing assembly is opened, and the chopsticks to be compacted are placed into the compaction box 6. The lifting assembly moves the movable plate 3 downward, which in turn moves the pressure plate 4 downward, allowing the pressure plate 4 to enter the compaction box 6 and compact the chopsticks inside. After compaction, the pressure plate 4 moves upward. When the pressure plate 4 disengages from the compaction box 6, the lifting assembly continues to move the movable plate 3 upward. At this point, the teeth of the toothed plate 8 mesh with the gear 7. The upward movement of the toothed plate 8 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate via the gear 7, and the rotation of the rotating rod 5 causes the compaction box 6 to rotate. The rotation of the compaction box 6 causes the chopsticks inside to flip. When the opening of the compaction box 6 faces downward, the toothed block on the toothed plate 8 separates from the gear 7. At this time, the movable plate 3 moves downward again, and after the toothed plate 8 contacts the gear 7, it rotates again. When the compaction box 6 rotates to the point where the opening faces upward, the toothed plate 8 separates from the gear 7. When the movable plate 3 drives the pressure plate 4 to continue moving downward, the compaction box 6 will stop rotating, and the pressure plate 4 will enter the compaction box 6 to compact the chopsticks again. This process is repeated. Through the above structure, the chopsticks can be automatically flipped while being compacted, eliminating the need for manual flipping and reducing labor costs, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0032] In the technical solution of this application, the lifting assembly includes a cylinder 9 fixedly installed on the upper end of the top plate 2. The piston end of the cylinder 9 penetrates through the side wall of the top plate 2 and extends downward and is fixedly connected to the movable plate 3. When the cylinder 9 is activated, the cylinder 9 will drive the movable plate 3 to move vertically.

[0033] In the technical solution of this application, the sealing assembly includes two baffles 10 symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner sidewall of the compaction box 6, and the two baffles 10 are located at the opening of the compaction box 6. Springs 11 are fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls of both sides of the compaction box 6, and the other end of the springs 11 is fixedly connected to the corresponding baffles 10. When the baffles 10 are subjected to a vertical force, the baffles 10 will move downward. The movement of the baffles 10 will squeeze the springs 11, and the springs 11 will deform under the force. When the force on the baffles 10 disappears, the springs 11 will reset, so that the baffles 10 rotate upward until they are reset.

[0034] In the technical solution of this application, limit blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls of both sides of the compaction box 6, and the limit blocks 12 abut against the upper position of the corresponding baffle 10 to limit the rotation range of the baffle 10.

[0035] In the technical solution of this application, a sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the two vertical plates 1 facing each other, and a slider 13 is slidably connected in the sliding groove. One end of the slider 13 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 3 to improve the stability of the movement of the movable plate 3.

[0036] In the technical solution of this application, a slide rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chute, the slide rod 14 passes through the slider 13, and the slider 13 is slidably connected to the slide rod 14 to prevent the slider 13 from detaching from the chute.

[0037] In the technical solution of this application, the bottom of the compaction box 6 is provided with a number of water-permeable holes evenly spaced to drain the water squeezed out when the chopsticks are pressed.

[0038] In use, open the sealing assembly and place the chopsticks to be compacted into the compaction box 6. The cylinder 9 moves the movable plate 3 downwards, which in turn moves the pressure plate 4 downwards, allowing it to enter the compaction box 6 and compact the chopsticks. After compaction, the pressure plate 4 moves upwards. When the pressure plate 4 disengages from the compaction box 6, the cylinder 9 continues to move the movable plate 3 upwards. At this point, the teeth of the toothed plate 8 mesh with the gear 7, and the upward movement of the toothed plate 8, through the gear 7, drives the rotating rod 5. The rotation of the rotating rod 5 will cause the compaction box 6 to rotate, which will cause the chopsticks inside to tumble. When the opening of the compaction box 6 faces downward, the toothed block on the toothed plate 8 separates from the gear 7. At this time, the movable plate 3 moves downward again, and after the toothed plate 8 contacts the gear 7, it rotates again. When the compaction box 6 rotates to the point where the opening faces upward, the toothed plate 8 separates from the gear 7. When the movable plate 3 drives the pressure plate 4 to continue to move downward, the compaction box 6 will stop rotating, and the pressure plate 4 will enter the compaction box 6 to compact the chopsticks again. This process is repeated.
