Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cotton swab processing technology, specifically relating to a cotton swab flattening device. Background Technology
[0002] Cotton swabs, also known as cleaning sticks, are small wooden or plastic sticks, slightly larger than a matchstick, wrapped with a small amount of sterilized cotton. They are mainly used in medical settings to apply medicine, absorb pus and blood, etc. In the production process of cotton swabs, a certain number of swabs need to be packed into packaging bags or boxes. During packaging, a nylon pressing column squeezes all the swabs in a single package to flatten one end, making it easier to seal them inside the packaging bag or box. In current cotton swab flattening devices, the nylon pressing column is equipped with a polishing ring to abrade the lint on its surface. Through friction with the polishing ring, the lint on the surface of the nylon pressing column is removed. However, this method leaves lint and other debris on the polishing ring, and some dust may be generated during the polishing process. This dust is carried to the surface of the cotton swab or inside the packaging box as the nylon pressing column moves, contaminating it. The polishing ring needs to be replaced and cleaned every once in a while, thus affecting the production efficiency of cotton swabs. Utility Model Content

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: including a cotton swab box guide frame 1 and a nylon pressing column 11, an electric telescopic rod 12 is provided at the top of the nylon pressing column 11, and a polishing ring 13 is connected to the outside of the nylon pressing column 11. The electric telescopic rod 12 is installed through a frame 14. A connecting frame 131 is provided on both sides of the polishing ring 13. Two lint cleaning frames 2 are provided on the outside of the nylon pressing column 11. A scraper 21 is provided on the inner wall of the lint cleaning frame 2, and a collection chamber 22 is provided inside the lint cleaning frame 2. Several through grooves 221 are opened on the inner wall of the lint cleaning frame 2, and a connecting bracket 23 is provided on one side of the lint cleaning frame 2. A movable frame 24 is slidably connected to the bottom of the polishing ring 13. A driver 25 is provided on one side of the movable frame 24. A suction tube 3 is connected to the top of one of the lint cleaning frames 2, and a pump body 31 is connected to one end of the suction tube 3.
[0020] In this embodiment: This novel device comprises a cotton swab packaging guide frame 1, a nylon pressing column 11, an electric telescopic rod 12, a polishing ring 13, and a frame 14. The electric telescopic rod 12 is installed at the top of the nylon pressing column 11. Connecting frames 131 are provided on both sides of the polishing ring 13, connecting the polishing ring 13 to the frame 14. Two lint removal frames 2 are provided on the outer side of the nylon pressing column 11. The two lint removal frames 2 are joined together to form a structure for cleaning the nylon pressing column 11. A scraper 21 is provided on the inner wall of the lint removal frame 2. When the two lint removal frames 2 are closed, the nylon pressing column 11 is cleaned by the scraper 21. The internal sliding mechanism uses a scraper 21 to clean the surface of the nylon pressing column 11. As the nylon pressing column 11 slides against the inner wall of the polishing ring 13, the polishing ring 13 further polishes and cleans the nylon pressing column 11. The lint cleaning frame 2 has a collection chamber 22 inside, with several through slots 221 on its inner wall, all communicating with the collection chamber 22. A suction pipe 3 is connected to the top of one of the lint cleaning frames 2, with one end connected to a pump body 31. The suction pipe 3 and pump body 31 work together to clean the lint inside the collection chamber 22. A connecting bracket is also provided on one side of the lint cleaning frame 2. 23. A movable frame 24 is slidably connected to the bottom of the polishing ring 13. A driver 25 is provided on one side of the movable frame 24. The driver 25 drives the connecting bracket 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the lint removal frame 2 to rotate. When the nylon pressing column 11 descends, the two lint removal frames 2 rotate downward, so that the nylon pressing column 11 does not contact the inner wall of the lint removal frame 2 when pushing the cotton swab. When the nylon pressing column 11 rises, the driver 25 drives the lint removal frame 2 to close again, so that the nylon pressing column 11 slides against the inner wall of the lint removal frame 2 when it moves upward. The scraper 21 on the inner wall of the lint removal frame 2 presses the nylon. The surface of the nylon pressing column 11 is cleaned, so that the cotton lint adhering to the surface of the nylon pressing column 11 is scraped off. At the same time, the suction pipe 3 and the pump body 31 suck up the cotton lint in the collection chamber 22. The suction force cleans the lint on the surface of the nylon pressing column 11 through the through groove 221, so that the surface of the nylon pressing column 11 is clean when the cotton swabs in the cotton swab box guide frame 1 are pressed next time. This keeps the surface of the nylon pressing column 11 clean during operation. The dust generated by the grinding ring 13 during the grinding of the nylon pressing column 11 is cleaned in time, thereby avoiding the cotton swabs from being contaminated by dust and other particles.
[0021] A sliding mechanism 26 is provided between the connecting frame 131 and the movable frame 24. The movable frame 24 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 131 through the sliding mechanism 26. By providing the sliding mechanism 26, the movable frame 24 can be driven to slide, thereby increasing the distance between the two lint cleaning frames 2, so that the nylon pressing column 11 will not contact the inner wall of the lint cleaning frame 2 when it moves upward.
[0022] Several through slots 221 are equally spaced on the inner wall of the lint cleaning rack 2, and the through slots 221 are connected to the inner cavity of the lint cleaning rack 2; the suction force cleans the lint on the surface of the nylon pressing column 11 through the through slots 221, and can suck away the lint and dust on the surface of the nylon pressing column 11 through the through slots 221.
[0023] Both lint removal racks 2 are designed as semi-circular structures, and the collection chambers 22 inside the two lint removal racks 2 are connected. The two lint removal racks 2 form a ring structure, surrounding the outside of the nylon pressing column 11. The two collection chambers 22 are connected, and all the collected lint and dust can be extracted through the suction tube 3, thereby cleaning the two lint removal racks 2 more thoroughly.
[0024] The driver 25 is installed on one side of the movable frame 24, and the output end of the driver 25 is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 23 on the adjacent side. The connecting bracket 23 is rotatably connected to the movable frame 24. The driver 25 drives the connecting bracket 23 to rotate, thereby driving the lint cleaning frame 2 to rotate.
[0025] One end of the suction tube 3 passes through the top of the lint cleaning rack 2 and extends into the inner cavity of the collection chamber 22. The top of the lint cleaning rack 2 is provided with a connecting groove that matches the suction tube 3. By providing the connecting groove, it is easy to limit one end of the suction tube 3, so that the suction tube 3 can be tightly connected to the lint cleaning rack 2.
[0026] The nylon pressing post 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the polishing ring 13. The polishing ring 13 is fixedly connected to the frame 14 through the connecting bracket 131. The nylon pressing post 11 is located directly above the cotton swab box guide frame 1 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cotton swab box guide frame 1. The nylon pressing post 11 is located directly above the cotton swab box guide frame 1 and squeezes the cotton swabs inside the cotton swab box guide frame 1 through the nylon pressing post 11, so that the top of the cotton swab is flat after entering the packaging box.
[0027] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, a certain number of cotton swabs enter the cotton swab box guide frame 1 through the feeding assembly. The electric telescopic rod 12 drives the nylon pressing column 11 to move downwards into the cotton swab box guide frame 1, flattening the cotton swabs inside and pushing them into the packaging box until the cotton swabs abut against the bottom of the inner cavity of the packaging box. The nylon pressing column 11 then flattens the top of the cotton swabs. Next, the electric telescopic rod 12 drives the nylon pressing column 11 to move upwards, and the driver 25 drives the lint removal frame 2 to close again. This causes the nylon pressing column 11 to slide against the inner wall of the lint removal frame 2 as it moves upwards, thus clearing the lint from the box. The scraper 21 on the inner wall cleans the surface of the nylon pressing column 11, scraping off the cotton lint adhering to the surface of the nylon pressing column 11. At the same time, the suction pipe 3 and the pump body 31 suck up the cotton lint in the collection chamber 22. The suction force cleans the lint on the surface of the nylon pressing column 11 through the through groove 221, so that the surface of the nylon pressing column 11 is clean when it is pressed down on the cotton swab box guide frame 1 next time. When the nylon pressing column 11 descends, the two lint cleaning frames 2 rotate downward, so that the nylon pressing column 11 does not contact the inner wall of the lint cleaning frame 2 when pushing the cotton swab, making way for the movement of the nylon pressing column 11.
