Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building materials equipment technology, and in particular to a block bead forming machine. Background Technology
[0002] The existing blocks are basically made by a block forming machine. The block forming machine includes a press head, a base material cart, a fabric cart, a mold box, and a pallet. During operation, the base material cart moves forward to feed the base material into the mold box, and then the press head compacts it once. Next, the fabric cart fills the base material with fabric, and then the press head compacts it again. After completion, the mold box moves upward to demold, and then the pallet carries the semi-finished bricks out of the machine, completing one molding.
[0003] To fulfill more functions of the bricks, various processing can be performed on the fabric, such as printing and inlaying. To fulfill the function of nighttime warning, glass beads can be inlaid. To realize this process, a new type of block forming machine was designed. Utility Model Content
[0004] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a block bead forming machine.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a block bead forming machine, comprising a base, a pressure head, a mold box, a base material cart, and a fabric cart. The base material cart and the fabric cart are located at the front and rear ends of the mold box, respectively. The pressure head is located above the mold box. A bead-inserting cart and a bead storage box are provided on the side of the mold box. The bead-inserting cart travels on the base, and the bead storage box is slidably connected to the base. The base is provided with a lifting mechanism for driving the bead storage box to rise and fall, and the bead-inserting cart is provided with a gripping mechanism for gripping beads.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a bead-setting cart that can move on the base is added to the side of the mold box on the basis of the original block forming machine. After the feeding and compaction of the base material and the feeding of the fabric are completed, the bead storage box is lifted to the gripping mechanism on the bead-setting cart by the lifting mechanism and the glass beads are gripped in a certain arrangement. Then the bead-setting cart moves with the glass beads to the top of the mold box, releases the glass beads so that they fall on the fabric, and then the pressure head presses the glass beads into the fabric and completes the compaction of the fabric, so that they are embedded in the surface of the fabric. Then the bead-setting cart is reset, and the embedding process is completed.
[0008] Preferably, the gripping mechanism includes an air duct plate, which is fixedly connected to the bead-setting cart. The air duct plate has a vacuum suction channel and several suction holes, each of which communicates with the vacuum suction channel. The bead-setting cart has a vacuum suction port, which communicates with the vacuum suction channel. This invention allows for the connection of an air pump or similar device to the vacuum suction port to create a vacuum in the suction channel. When the bead storage box approaches, the glass beads are attracted to the suction holes. The bead-setting cart then transfers the glass beads to the top of the mold box. Releasing the vacuum allows the glass beads to fall onto the fabric. By specifically designing the position of the suction holes, the glass beads can be dropped onto the fabric in a fixed arrangement.
[0009] Preferably, the air duct plate includes a fixing plate and a template. The vacuum suction channel and the suction holes are both formed on the template. The fixing plate has a communication port connected to the vacuum suction port. The template and the fixing plate are detachably connected to each other. This design allows the template to be replaced, enabling different suction hole arrangements and allowing for customized glass bead arrangement designs.
[0010] Preferably, the vacuum suction channel includes suction chambers and distribution channels. Several suction chambers are provided, and suction holes are located at the suction chambers. The several suction chambers are interconnected through the distribution channels. In this invention, each suction chamber corresponds to one mold cavity on the mold box, thus enabling simultaneous beading of fabric in multiple mold cavities. The suction chamber supports are interconnected through the material distribution channels, thereby ensuring that each suction chamber forms a vacuum through the vacuum inlet.
[0011] Preferably, the fixing plate and the template are detachably connected by bolts, with the bolts threaded through the template and connected to the fixing plate. This invention utilizes the threaded connection between the bolts and the fixing plate to achieve the detachable connection of the template.
[0012] Preferably, each of the suction holes is provided with a suction nozzle. This invention utilizes the suction nozzles to make it easier to suck up glass beads when the bead storage box is close to the template.
[0013] Preferably, each of the suction nozzles is provided with a spherical groove that matches the shape of the glass bead. This invention utilizes the spherical groove to make the glass bead easier to be sucked up by the suction nozzle.
[0014] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the base, and the output rod of the lifting cylinder is drivenly connected to the bottom center of the bead storage box. This invention utilizes the extension and retraction of the output rod of the lifting cylinder to achieve the lifting and lowering of the bead storage box.
[0015] Preferably, the bead storage box is slidably connected to the base via guide rods. The guide rods are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom surface of the bead storage box and are slidably connected to the base. This invention utilizes guide rods to guide the movement direction of the bead storage box, preventing significant positional deviation and ensuring the bead storage box is aligned with the template.
[0016] Preferably, the press head, base material cart, fabric cart, and beading cart are all driven by cylinders.
[0017] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. Based on the original block forming machine, a bead-setting cart that can move on the base is added to the side of the mold box. After the base material is fed and compacted and the fabric is fed, the bead storage box is lifted to the gripping mechanism on the bead-setting cart by the lifting mechanism and the glass beads are gripped in a certain arrangement. Then the bead-setting cart moves with the glass beads to the top of the mold box, releases the glass beads so that they fall on the fabric, and then the pressure head presses the glass beads into the fabric so that they are embedded in the fabric surface. Then the bead-setting cart is reset to complete the embedding process.
[0019] 2. The air duct plate includes a fixed plate and a template. Vacuum channels and suction holes are both formed on the template. The fixed plate has a connecting port that communicates with the vacuum suction port. The template and fixed plate are detachable and connectable to each other. This allows the template to be replaced, enabling different suction hole arrangements and allowing for the design of the glass bead arrangement according to requirements.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a block bead forming machine includes a base 1, a pressure head 2, a mold box 3, a base material cart 4, and a fabric cart 5. The base material cart 4 and the fabric cart 5 are located at the front and rear ends of the mold box 3, respectively. The pressure head 2 is located above the mold box 3. A bead inserting cart 6 and a bead storage box 7 are provided on the side of the mold box 3. The bead inserting cart 6 travels on the base 1, and the bead storage box 7 is slidably connected to the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a lifting mechanism for driving the bead storage box 7 to rise and fall, and the bead inserting cart 6 is provided with a gripping mechanism for gripping beads.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, a bead-setting cart 6 that can move on the base 1 is added to the side of the mold box 3 on the basis of the original block forming machine. After the feeding and compaction of the base material and the feeding of the fabric are completed, the bead storage box 7 is lifted to the gripping mechanism on the bead-setting cart 6 by the lifting mechanism and the glass beads are gripped in a certain arrangement. Then the bead-setting cart 6 moves with the glass beads to the top of the mold box 3, releases the glass beads so that they fall on the fabric, and then the pressure head 2 presses the glass beads into the fabric and completes the compaction of the fabric, so that they are embedded in the surface of the fabric. Then the bead-setting cart 6 is reset, and the embedding process is completed.
[0035] The gripping mechanism includes an air duct plate 8, which is fixedly connected to the bead-setting carriage 6. The air duct plate 8 has a vacuum suction channel 9 and several suction holes 10, each connected to the vacuum suction channel 9. The bead-setting carriage 6 has a vacuum suction port 11, which is also connected to the vacuum suction channel 9. A vacuum pump can be connected to the vacuum suction port 11 to create a vacuum in the vacuum suction channel 9. When the bead storage box 7 approaches, the glass beads will adhere to the suction holes 10. The bead-setting carriage 6 then transfers the glass beads to the top of the mold box 3. After the vacuum is released, the glass beads will fall onto the fabric. By specifically designing the positions of the suction holes 10, the glass beads can be arranged in a fixed pattern and fall onto the fabric.
[0036] The air duct plate 8 includes a fixing plate 12 and a template 13. Vacuum channels 9 and suction holes 10 are both formed on the template 13. The fixing plate 12 has a connecting port that communicates with the vacuum suction port 11. The template 13 and the fixing plate 12 are detachably connected to each other. This design allows the template 13 to be replaced, enabling different arrangements of the suction holes 10, thus allowing for the design of the glass bead arrangement according to requirements.
[0037] The vacuum suction channel 9 includes suction chambers 14 and distribution channels 15. Several suction chambers 14 are provided, with suction holes located at each chamber. The suction chambers 14 are interconnected via the distribution channels 15. Each suction chamber 14 corresponds to one mold cavity on the mold box 3, allowing for simultaneous beading of fabric within multiple mold cavities. The suction chamber 14 supports are interconnected via the distribution channels, enabling a vacuum to be formed in each suction chamber 14 through the vacuum suction port 11.
[0038] The fixing plate 12 and the template 13 are connected by bolts, which are threaded through the template 13 and the fixing plate 12. The template 13 can be disassembled and reassembled using the threaded connection between the bolts and the fixing plate 12.
[0039] Each suction hole 10 is equipped with a suction nozzle 16. The suction nozzle 16 makes it easier to pick up glass beads when the bead storage box 7 is close to the template 13.
[0040] Each nozzle 16 is provided with a ball groove 17 that matches the shape of the glass bead. The ball groove 17 makes it easy for the glass bead to be picked up by the nozzle 16.
[0041] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 18, which is fixedly connected to the base 1. The output rod of the lifting cylinder 18 is connected to the bottom center of the bead storage box 7 via a transmission connection. The lifting and lowering of the bead storage box 7 is achieved by extending and retracting the output rod of the lifting cylinder 18.
[0042] The bead storage box 7 is slidably connected to the base 1 via guide rods 19. The guide rods 19 are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom surface of the bead storage box 7 and are slidably connected to the base 1. The guide rods 19 guide the movement direction of the bead storage box 7, so that the position of the bead storage box 7 does not deviate too much and ensures that the bead storage box 7 can be aligned with the template 13.
[0043] The press head 2, base material cart 4, fabric cart 5, and beading cart 6 are all driven by cylinders.
[0044] It should be noted that many specific details have been set forth in the above description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
