Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sponge technology, specifically a sponge cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] In many applications, sponges need to be processed into specific sizes and shapes to fit different products or equipment. Cutting can give sponges various complex shapes to meet different design requirements. Through cutting processes, raw sponge materials can be processed into products of uniform specifications, facilitating standardized and large-scale production. This not only improves production efficiency and reduces production costs but also ensures the stability and consistency of product quality. Existing sponge cutting setups mostly only achieve individual horizontal or vertical cuts, and cannot adjust the cutting direction as needed. If the cutting direction is fixed, multiple operations are required to complete a complex shape. For example, performing a horizontal cut first, followed by a vertical cut, requires more time and manual intervention. 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6, this utility model provides a technical solution: a sponge cutting device, comprising: a conveying mechanism, which includes a conveyor 1 and a conveyor 2, both of which are belt conveyors; a red line sensor for detecting the position of the sponge is fixedly connected to the top of both conveyors 1 and 2; a cutting slit is provided between the ends of conveyors 1 and 2; a support base 3 is placed below the cutting slit; two support columns 5 are slidably connected to the top of the support base 3; a power unit for driving the support columns 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the support base 3; a support frame 11 is raised and lowered inside the support columns 5; multiple pressure rollers 12 are rotatably connected to the middle of the support frame 11; and a heating wire 9 is raised and lowered to one side of the support column 5.
[0024] It should be noted that this embodiment includes a controller and a corresponding operation panel. When the sponge is cut laterally, the block of sponge is placed on top of conveyor 1. Conveyor 1 transports it forward to the junction of conveyor 1 and conveyor 2. The pressure roller 12 presses the sponge down. Under the action of conveyor 1 and conveyor 2, the sponge moves laterally below the pressure roller 12 and on conveyor 1 and conveyor 2. The heating wire 9 adjusts its height by raising and lowering to contact the laterally moving sponge and achieve lateral cutting. The cutting path is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, when vertical cutting of the sponge is required, the drive unit drives the support column 5 to move. Under the action of the limit switch, the heating wire 9 is aligned with the cutting seam. When the sponge is transported to the end by the conveyor 1, the pressure roller 12 moves downward to press the sponge. The conveyor 1 transports the sponge to the conveyor 2. The heating wire 9 moves up and down along the cutting seam. The heating wire 9 passes through the middle of the sponge from top to bottom, thus cooperating with the conveyor 1 to achieve vertical cutting.
[0025] In one embodiment, the power unit includes a guide rail 4 and a cylinder 6. The top of the support base 3 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 4, and a movable plate 14 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rail 4. One side of the movable plate 14 is fixedly connected to the support column 5. One side of the support base 3 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 6. The output end of the cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 14. One side of the movable plate 14 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 13, and the slide rod 13 is slidably connected to the end of the support base 3.
[0026] It should be noted that in this embodiment, during transverse cutting, the pressure roller 12 is placed above the cutting seam and is conveyed in the same direction as conveyor 1 and conveyor 2, so that the sponge can move laterally at the bottom of the pressure roller 12. When it is necessary to align the heating wire 9 with the cutting seam and cut the sponge into segments by moving the heating wire 9 up and down, cylinder 6 drives the moving plate 14 to move along guide rail 4. The moving plate 14 drives the support column 5 to slide along guide rail 4. During this period, the moving plate 14 drives the slide rod 13 to slide at the end of the support base 3, thereby adjusting the position of the support column 5. Under the action of the limit switch, the cylinder 6 drives the heating wire 9 to move to the top of the cutting seam through the support column 5. By raising and lowering the heating wire 9 along the cutting seam, the sponge can be cut vertically.
[0027] In one embodiment, guide rail 15 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two support columns 5, slide block 16 is slidably connected to the outer side of guide rail 15, support frame 11 is fixedly connected to slide block 16, cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to one side of support column 5, and the output end of cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to slide block 16.
[0028] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when adjusting the height of the pressure roller 12, the controller controls the solenoid valves of the two cylinders 10 and the corresponding synchronization valves. The synchronization valves balance the air pressure between the two cylinders to ensure that they rise and fall at the same rate. Cylinder 10 drives the slide 16 to slide on the outside of the guide rail 15. The slide 16 drives the pressure roller 12 through the support frame 11. Under the action of the limit switch, it moves to the designated position and then stops.
[0029] In one embodiment, a linear module 7 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two support columns 5, and a connecting block 8 is fixedly connected to the sliding table of each of the two linear modules 7. A heating wire 9 is fixedly connected between the two connecting blocks 8 through a power connection terminal.
[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the two linear modules 7 move the connecting block 8 up and down simultaneously via the moving slide, and the connecting block 8 drives the heating wire 9 to move vertically, thereby adjusting the cutting depth.
