Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cardboard processing equipment, and in particular to a transfer table for a cardboard slitting machine. Background Technology
[0002] As a core piece of equipment in the packaging, printing, and paper product processing industries, the cardboard slitting machine's function is to cut large-format raw cardboard into finished products according to preset dimensions and transfer them to stacking, packaging, or downstream processing stations. The cardboard transfer process after slitting directly affects production continuity and efficiency. Especially in a market environment where multi-variety, small-batch orders are the mainstream, the flexibility and adaptability of the transfer device have become key indicators for evaluating the overall performance of the equipment. Traditional slitting machines mostly use fixed conveyor belts for cardboard transfer, including simple single straight conveyor belts. While these can meet basic conveying needs, their unidirectional linear transport mode and rigid structural design lead to difficulties in directional adjustment and rigid layouts, making them unsuitable for the dynamic demands of modern production scenarios. Even multi-stage conveyor belt groups using multiple conveyor belts connected in series or parallel suffer from large footprints and high costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly flexible and simple cardboard transfer device that facilitates cardboard transfer. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transfer platform for a cardboard slitting machine, which solves the problem of insufficient flexibility in adjusting the transport direction of traditional transfer devices.
[0004] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a transfer platform for a cardboard slitting machine, comprising a transfer platform, a plurality of floating ball mechanisms distributed on the transfer platform, and an air blowing mechanism corresponding to the floating ball mechanisms. The floating ball mechanism includes movably disposed floating balls. The upper side of the transfer platform is provided with a table surface. The air blowing mechanism includes a plurality of air blowing pipes corresponding to the lower side of the floating balls. The air blowing pipes are used to blow air towards the lower side of the floating balls to keep the floating balls floating. When the cardboard passes the table surface in any horizontal direction, the floating balls abut against the lower side of the cardboard.
[0005] As described above, in a transfer table for a cardboard slitting machine, the floating ball mechanism further includes a sleeve. The sleeve has a movable cavity for accommodating the floating ball. The upper side of the movable cavity has a protruding outlet, and the lower side of the movable cavity has an air passage extending along the height direction of the sleeve. The floating ball is movably disposed in the movable cavity along the height direction of the sleeve, and the floating ball protrudes from the protruding outlet when it moves.
[0006] As described above, in a transfer table for a cardboard slitting machine, the sleeve has an inwardly facing annular abutment portion protruding from the periphery of the protruding outlet, such that the sleeve is inclined outward on the periphery plane of the protruding outlet, and the annular abutment portion is used to restrict the floating ball from moving upward out of the movable cavity.
[0007] As described above, in a transfer table for a cardboard slitting machine, the diameter of the air passage is smaller than the diameter of the movable cavity, so that the sleeve forms an annular receiving portion at the connection between the air passage and the movable cavity, and the annular receiving portion is used to restrict the floating ball from detaching downward from the movable cavity.
[0008] As described above, in a transfer table for a cardboard slitting machine, the movable cavity is arranged in an arc shape corresponding to the floating ball on the side near the annular abutment portion.
[0009] As described above, in a transfer table for a cardboard slitting machine, the movable cavity is arranged in an arc shape corresponding to the floating ball on the side near the annular receiving part.
[0010] As described above, a transfer table for a cardboard slitting machine has multiple mounting slots distributed on its surface. The sleeve is installed in the mounting slots, and the bottom of the mounting slots is connected to the air blowing pipe.
[0011] As described above, in a transfer platform for a cardboard slitting machine, the air blowing mechanism further includes multiple air supply pipes arranged in a row, with each air supply pipe simultaneously connected to multiple mounting slots located in a single row.
[0012] As described above, in a transfer table for a cardboard slitting machine, the air blowing mechanism further includes an air inlet pipe, and the two ends of adjacent air delivery pipes are interconnected, with the air inlet pipe being laterally connected to the air delivery pipe.
[0013] As described above, a transfer table for a cardboard slitting machine has a baffle at the edge of the table surface.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] This utility model discloses a transfer platform for a cardboard slitting machine. The platform utilizes a combination of a floating ball mechanism and an air blowing mechanism, providing highly efficient assistance for the movement of cardboard on the platform. The air blowing mechanism includes multiple air pipes corresponding to the floating balls. Continuous air blowing from these pipes onto the underside of the floating balls allows them to maintain a flexible floating state. In this state, when the cardboard passes the platform in any horizontal direction, the floating balls abut against the underside of the cardboard. The floating balls, abutting the cardboard, sink to a certain height under the weight of the cardboard. At this time, the airflow overflowing from the sides of the floating balls hits the underside of the cardboard, offsetting some of the pressure exerted by the cardboard on the floating balls. Simultaneously, the floating balls themselves have the characteristic of rolling in any direction, significantly improving the smoothness of the cardboard's movement on the platform. The operator only needs to manually adjust the direction of the cardboard's movement, allowing it to be flexibly and quickly transferred from the cardboard slitting machine's discharge point to the position corresponding to the next processing step.

[0020] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3This embodiment provides a transfer platform for a cardboard slitting machine, including a transfer platform 1, a plurality of floating ball mechanisms 2 distributed on the transfer platform 1, and an air blowing mechanism 3 corresponding to the floating ball mechanisms 2. The floating ball mechanism 2 includes a floating ball 21 that is movably arranged. The upper side of the transfer platform 1 is provided with a table surface 11. The air blowing mechanism 3 includes a plurality of air blowing pipes 31 corresponding to the lower side of the floating ball 21. The air blowing pipes 31 are used to blow air towards the lower side of the floating ball 21 so that the floating ball 21 keeps floating. When the cardboard passes the table surface 11 in any horizontal direction, the floating ball 21 abuts against the lower side of the cardboard. The transfer platform for the cardboard slitting machine in this embodiment employs a combination of a floating ball mechanism 2 and an air blowing mechanism 3 on the transfer platform 1. This provides highly efficient assistance for the movement of the cardboard on the platform 11. The air blowing mechanism 3 includes multiple air blowing pipes 31 corresponding to the floating balls 21. Under the continuous air blowing action of the air blowing pipes 31 on the lower side of the floating balls 21, the floating balls 21 can maintain a flexible floating state. In this state, when the cardboard passes over the platform 11 in any horizontal direction, the multiple floating balls 21 will... The floating ball 21, which is in contact with the cardboard, will sink to a certain height under the gravity of the cardboard. At this time, the airflow overflowing from the side of the floating ball 21 will hit the underside of the cardboard, which can offset part of the pressure of the cardboard on the floating ball. At the same time, the floating ball 21 itself has the characteristic of rolling in any direction, which greatly improves the smoothness of the cardboard's movement on the table 11. The operator only needs to manually adjust the direction of the cardboard's movement, and the cardboard can be flexibly and quickly transferred from the discharge point of the cardboard slitting machine to the position corresponding to the next processing step.
[0022] The floating ball mechanism 2 also includes a sleeve 22, which has a movable cavity 221 for accommodating the floating ball 21. The upper side of the movable cavity 221 has a protrusion 222, and the lower side of the movable cavity 221 has an air passage 223 extending along the height direction of the sleeve 22. The floating ball 21 is movably disposed in the movable cavity 221 along the height direction of the sleeve 22. When the floating ball 21 moves, it protrudes out of the protrusion 222. This arrangement ensures that the floating ball 21 can protrude out of the protrusion 222 whether it moves to the highest point or the lowest point in the movable cavity 221, thus maintaining contact with the cardboard and preventing the cardboard from directly contacting the table surface 11 and causing friction.
[0023] The sleeve 22 has an inwardly facing annular abutment portion 224 protruding from the periphery of the protrusion 222, so that the sleeve 22 is inclined outward on the periphery plane of the protrusion 222. The annular abutment portion 224 is used to restrict the floating ball 21 from detaching from the movable cavity 221. The arrangement of the annular abutment portion 224 limits the maximum height that the floating ball 21 can float.
[0024] The diameter of the air passage 223 is smaller than the diameter of the movable cavity 221, so that the sleeve 22 forms an annular receiving part 225 at the connection between the air passage 223 and the movable cavity 221. The annular receiving part 225 is used to restrict the floating ball 21 from detaching downward from the movable cavity 221. The setting of the annular receiving part 225 limits the minimum height that the floating ball 21 can move and sink.
[0025] The movable cavity 221 is arranged in an arc shape corresponding to the floating ball 21 on the side near the annular abutment part 224, which reduces the friction between the floating ball and the floating ball 21 when the floating ball abuts the annular abutment part 224 and protects the smoothness of the surface of the floating ball 21.
[0026] The movable cavity 221 is arranged in an arc shape corresponding to the floating ball 21 on the side near the annular receiving part 225, which reduces the friction between the floating ball and the floating ball 21 when the floating ball comes into contact with the annular receiving part 225 and protects the smoothness of the surface of the floating ball 21.
[0027] Multiple mounting slots 12 are distributed on the tabletop 11. The sleeve 22 is installed in the mounting slot 12. The bottom of the mounting slot 12 is connected to the air blowing pipe 31. The mounting slot 12 is used to make the floating ball mechanism 2 easier to maintain individually.
[0028] The air blowing mechanism 3 also includes multiple air supply pipes 32 arranged in a row, each air supply pipe 32 being simultaneously connected to multiple mounting slots 12 located in a single row. The air blowing mechanism 3 also includes an air inlet pipe 33, with both ends of adjacent air supply pipes 32 interconnected, and the air inlet pipe 33 being laterally connected to the air supply pipes 32. The air inlet pipe 33 is used to connect to an external air pump device to supply air to all the air blowing pipes 31 through the air supply pipes 32.
[0029] A baffle 13 is provided at the edge of the tabletop 11, which can be used to abut against cardboard moving on the tabletop 11 to prevent the cardboard from falling off the tabletop 11 to the side away from the operator.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
