Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button technology, specifically a button forming device. Background Technology

[0002] A button is a small fastener used to fasten or decorate the openings of clothing or other textiles, bags, shoes, hats, etc. It is usually made of rigid material and has a thread hole or a handle. It is fixed to the base material by means of sewing, riveting, snap fastening, etc., and can be used with corresponding buttonholes, button loops, snap caps, etc. to achieve the opening and closing function.

[0003] There are two main methods for button production. One method involves pouring molten resin into a metal tube, which solidifies to form a rod. This rod is then cut into multiple round plastic blocks using a cutting machine. Finally, the blocks are processed into buttons using a cutting and forming device and a grinding device. The other method involves pressing melamine powder into round button shapes using high-temperature and high-pressure equipment, then pressing them into button shapes using a press. Finally, the buttons are soaked, ground, and dyed depending on production requirements. The cutting and forming device, grinding device, and press used for plasticizing buttons in both methods can be referred to as a button forming device.

[0004] However, when using a press-type button forming device, the outer surface of the pressed button will have ring-shaped melamine nozzles formed by excess material. In the subsequent processing, these nozzles need to be cut off, which is a cumbersome process and affects the button production efficiency. Therefore, this does not meet the current requirements. To address this, we have proposed a button forming device. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] The button forming press 1 (model QM01), slider 4 (model HGM15) and spring 15 (model JX110) mentioned in this utility model can be obtained from the market or through private customization.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4An embodiment of this utility model provides a button forming device, including a button forming press 1. A slide rail 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the button forming press 1. A slider 4 is installed on one side of the outer surface of the slide rail 3. An L-shaped mounting bracket 5 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the slider 4. A push cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on both sides of the inner front end of the L-shaped mounting bracket 5. A lower pressing sleeve 7 is connected to the lower end face of the piston rod of the two push cylinders 6. A connecting groove 8 is provided on the lower end face of the lower pressing sleeve 7. A plurality of mounting grooves 9 are provided on the upper inner wall of the connecting groove 8. A cutting sleeve 10 is provided inside each mounting groove 9, and the lower end face of the cutting sleeve 10 is a cutting blade-shaped surface 11.

[0025] The cutting sleeve 10 contains an electro-adsorption head 12; a button placement platform 2 is mounted on the outer surface of the button forming press 1 on one side of the slide rail 3. A button positioning plate is placed on the upper surface of the button placement platform 2. The upper surface of the button positioning plate has multiple button placement slots. Each button placement slot contains a button blank. The position and number of the multiple button placement slots correspond to the position and number of the multiple mounting slots 9. A pressing cylinder is mounted on the outer surface of the button forming press 1 above the button placement platform 2. The lower end of the piston rod of the pressing cylinder is connected to the button forming plate. When the equipment is needed, the button positioning plate containing the button blank is placed on the upper surface of the button placement platform 2. Then, the pressing cylinder pushes the button forming plate downward to press and form the button blank.

[0026] The rear end face of the L-shaped mounting bracket 5 is equipped with a control panel, and both the slider 4 and the L-shaped mounting bracket 5 are electrically connected to the control panel. After the button blank is processed into a button through the pressing molding process, the slider 4 is activated through the control panel to move the pressing sleeve 7 above the button positioning plate. Then, the pressing sleeve 7 is pushed down by the pushing cylinder 6. As the pressing sleeve 7 descends, the cutting sleeve 10 located inside the pressing sleeve 7 will also move down. As the cutting sleeve 10 descends, the cutting blade-shaped surface 11 located on the lower end face of the cutting sleeve 10 will contact the annular melamine gate on the outer surface of the button to cut it. The above technical solution improves the automation level of the equipment, eliminating the need for manual processing of the gate remaining on the outer surface of the button, thereby improving the button production efficiency.

[0027] After the sprue is cut off, as the cutting sleeve 10 descends, the electro-adsorption head 12 inside the cutting sleeve 10 will contact the button. Once they come into contact, the electro-adsorption head 12 will fix the button in place. Then, the pushing cylinder 6 and the slider 4 will pull the pressing sleeve 7 back to its original position. As the pressing sleeve 7 moves back to its original position, the button that is fixed will move along with it. Once the pressing sleeve 7 returns to its original position, a collection basket will be placed under the pressing sleeve 7. Then, the fixation between the electro-adsorption head 12 and the button will be released. After the fixation is released, the button will fall into the collection basket under the force of gravity. This technical solution allows the cut buttons to be taken out and collected separately, thereby further improving the automation level of the equipment and eliminating the need for manual sorting of buttons and cut sprues.

[0028] Above the electro-adsorption head 12 is a spring groove 14 located inside the outer shell of the cutting sleeve 10. The spring groove 14 contains a spring 15, and a circular plate 16 is connected to the upper end face of the spring 15. A connecting rod 17 is connected to the axis of the circular plate 16, and the upper end face of the connecting rod 17 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove 9. Both the front and rear ends of the cutting sleeve 10 are provided with a strip-shaped through hole 13. The front and rear ends of the electro-adsorption head 12 located inside the cutting sleeve 10 are fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove 9 through two strip-shaped through holes 13 penetrating the outer surface of the cutting sleeve 10. When the water outlet has been cut off by the cutting sleeve 10, and the lower end face is already connected to... The upper surface of the button positioning plate is stuck to itself and cannot move further downward. However, because the button is thin, the electro-adsorption head 12 located inside the cutting sleeve 10 has not yet contacted the button. As the lower pressure sleeve 7 descends, the circular plate 16, which is fixed to the lower pressure sleeve 7 by the connecting rod 17, will move downward to squeeze the spring 15 located inside the cutting sleeve 10. At this time, the cutting sleeve 10 will stay in place, while the electro-adsorption head 12, which is directly fixed to the lower pressure sleeve 7, will continue to move downward. The above technical solution improves the flexibility of the equipment, enabling the equipment to adapt to buttons of different thicknesses.

[0029] A protective cover plate is provided above the two push cylinders 6 on the outer surface of the L-shaped mounting bracket 5, and the L-shaped mounting bracket 5 and the protective cover plate are fixed together by screws; the protective cover plate can protect the push cylinders 6, and when the push cylinders 6 malfunction, the protective cover plate can be removed to repair the push cylinders 6.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
