Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yoga mat production equipment, specifically a device for cutting the outer contour of yoga mats. Background Technology

[0002] Yoga mats are used for yoga practice. Currently, yoga mats on the market come in various colors and patterns. The production process involves multiple steps, and the mats are typically cut into the desired shape. Manufacturers usually use a die-cutting machine for this purpose. The die-cutting machine works by placing the yoga mat on a cutting die, then activating a pressure device above the die. This pressure device drives a pressure plate downwards, cutting off the edges of the material to achieve the desired shape. However, in actual use, the following problems exist: the cutting die slides out of the die-cutting machine for loading and then slides back in to cut the material. Due to the high friction between the sliding plate and the support surface, and the weight of the sliding plate, workers need to apply significant pushing and pulling forces to move it, resulting in high labor intensity and reduced production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and provide a device for cutting the outer contour of a yoga mat.

[0018] See Figure 1-5This embodiment is a device for cutting the outer contour of a yoga mat, including a support platform 5. The support platform 5 has a horizontal table surface, and a vertical guide column 4 is provided at each of the four corners of the table surface. A support frame 1 is mounted on the top of all the guide columns 4. A lifting drive mechanism is mounted on the top of the support frame 1. The output end of the lifting drive mechanism has an output shaft that extends downward through the support frame 1. A horizontal pressure plate 3 is mounted at the bottom of the output shaft. The pressure plate 3 is slidably connected to each guide column 4. A sliding plate 7 is provided on the table surface. A cutting die 6 matching the outer contour shape of the yoga mat is mounted on the top surface of the sliding plate 7. Two horizontally arranged guide rods 9 are mounted on each side of the support platform 5. A slider 8 is mounted at each end of the sliding plate 7 corresponding to each guide rod 9. The slider 8 is slidably connected to the guide rod 9. A linear drive mechanism is mounted on one side of the support platform 5. The output end of the linear drive mechanism is connected to the sliding plate 7 to drive the sliding plate 7 to move along the guide rod 9.

[0019] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism adopts a hydraulic cylinder 2.

[0020] Furthermore, the linear drive mechanism employs a cylinder 12, with the piston rod end of the cylinder 12 fixedly connected to the slide plate 7.

[0021] Furthermore, one side of the support platform 5 is the operation side, and the cylinder 12 is located on the other side of the support platform 5. An operation button 10 is provided at the outer end of the guide rod 9 located on the operation side. The operation button 10 is electrically connected to the cylinder 12 to control the operation of the cylinder 12.

[0022] Furthermore, the support platform 5 has a mounting groove in the middle of its bottom surface, the main body of the cylinder 12 is installed in the mounting groove, the piston rod of the cylinder 12 extends outward and is equipped with a connecting plate 11, and the connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 7.

[0023] Furthermore, a sliding coating is provided between the tabletop and the sliding plate 7.

[0024] Furthermore, the sliding coating uses graphite powder.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The worker operates from the operating side. By controlling the piston rod of the cylinder 12 to retract through the operating button 10, the sliding plate 7 can slide out to the operating side. At this time, the worker can load the material, placing the yoga mat blank to be cut on the cutting mold 6. Then, by controlling the button, the piston rod of the cylinder 12 extends, thereby driving the sliding plate 7 to slide to the other side. After sliding into place, the cutting mold 6 is exactly below the pressure plate 3. Finally, the operating cylinder 2 presses down, and the pressure plate 3 squeezes the blank downward to achieve cutting and shaping. After cutting is completed, the operating button 10 is pressed again to make the sliding plate 7 slide out to the operating side to remove the finished material and replace it with the next blank to be cut. Throughout the process, both sides of the sliding plate 7 slide through the slider 8 and the corresponding guide rod 9. The friction between the bottom surface of the sliding plate 7 and the table surface of the support platform 5 is reduced due to the graphite powder, making the sliding process smoother.

[0026] The length of the sliding plate 7 in this invention is greater than the width of the support platform 5, ensuring that the sliding plate 7 remains slidably connected to the guide rod 9 via the slider 8 during sliding. As can be seen from the above working process, this invention significantly reduces the labor intensity of workers and helps improve production efficiency.
