AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the two layers of corrugated paper with flute tip to flute tip are prone to deformation when laminated with the face paper, resulting in poor paperboard quality and low production efficiency, especially since it is difficult to effectively fix the paper before the paste is fully gelatinized.
A pre-gelatinization device is used to heat the coating surface of the corrugated tip with high-temperature steam. The adhesive applicator is placed in front of the bonding and pressing mechanism. The coating surface is pre-gelatinized by spraying high-temperature steam to ensure good adhesion between the corrugated tip and the face paper before curing.
It improves the bonding quality and efficiency between the corrugated tip and the face paper, shortens the glue gelatinization time, avoids cardboard deformation, and increases production speed and product quality.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a corrugated cardboard machine with tip-to-tip bonding, and more particularly to a corrugated cardboard machine that can improve the quality and efficiency of tip bonding. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, a new type of corrugated cardboard with flute-to-flute construction is emerging in the market. Taking four-layer corrugated cardboard as an example, it consists of a face paper, a liner paper, and two layers of corrugated paper located between the face paper and the liner paper with their flute tips touching. Because the flute tips of the two middle layers of cardboard are opposite each other, they provide good support. Therefore, it can replace the traditional five-layer cardboard.
[0003] However, in the production process of two layers of corrugated paper with the flute tips touching, it is necessary to first process two layers of corrugated paper with the flute tips touching (in this state, the paperboard is prone to expansion and contraction), and then attach the face paper to form three layers of corrugated paper with the flute tips touching. Among these, it is particularly crucial that the two layers of corrugated paper with the flute tips touching can be attached to the face paper in the shortest path and at the fastest speed; because only after being fixedly attached to the face paper will the two layers of corrugated paper with the flute tips touching not deform.
[0004] Chinese Patent No. CN202323046881.4, published on September 17, 2024, discloses a multi-functional corrugating machine for producing tip-to-tip corrugated cardboard. The machine includes a corrugating roller for processing a first core paper and a second core paper into a corrugated shape, a gluing mechanism for applying glue to the first and second core papers, and a pressing mechanism for bonding the two layers of tip-to-tip core paper to the face paper. The first and second core papers are processed by the gluing mechanism and the corrugating roller to form two layers of tip-to-tip core paper. The pressing mechanism is equipped with a power unit that drives the pressing mechanism to rotate synchronously with the corrugating roller, causing the two layers of core paper located between the pressing mechanism and the corrugating roller to move synchronously and be pressed together with the face paper. In this structure, the pressing mechanism is positioned close to the tip-to-tip core paper, resulting in a short bonding path and requiring high heating efficiency. Otherwise, insufficient time for the glue to gelatinize and dry will lead to weak bonding between the face paper and the tip-to-tip core paper, causing deformation of the cardboard. Therefore, the above structure needs further optimization. Utility Model Content

[0036] The corrugating machine is a corrugated tip-to-corrugated cardboard machine, which includes a first corrugated roll group, a second corrugated roll group and a corrugated paper gluing assembly 6;
[0037] The first corrugated roll group includes a first lower corrugated roll 12 and a first upper corrugated roll 1, and a first wave-forming channel is formed between the first lower corrugated roll 12 and the first upper corrugated roll 1 to heat press the first core paper 910 into a wave shape.
[0038] The second corrugated roll assembly includes a second lower corrugated roll 25 and a second upper corrugated roll 2, with a second corrugated forming channel formed between the second lower corrugated roll 25 and the second upper corrugated roll 2 to heat press the second core paper 920 into a corrugated shape.
[0039] The corrugated paper gluing assembly 6 is located beside the second upper corrugated roll 2 or the first upper corrugated roll 1 and is used to apply glue to the corrugated tips of the corrugated second core paper 920 or the first core paper 910.
[0040] The first upper corrugated roller 1 and the second upper corrugated roller 2 have their flute tips facing each other and form a corrugated paper forming channel 10, so as to bond the two corrugated core paper flute tips together after the flute tips are coated with glue, and then output them.
[0041] The bonding and pressing mechanism 8 includes a traction belt 81, a power roller 82, and a heating roller 83. The traction belt 81 is wound around the power roller 82 and the heating roller 83, and at least a section of it is close to the first upper corrugated roller 1. The bonding and pressing channel is formed between the traction belt 81 and the first upper corrugated roller 1. The pre-gelatinization device 20 and the face paper bonding and gluing assembly are sequentially arranged between the input port of the bonding and pressing channel and the output port of the corrugated paper forming channel 10.
[0042] The adhesive pressing mechanism 8 also includes a corner pressure roller 84, and the traction belt 81 is also wrapped around the corner pressure roller 84. The heating roller 83 and the corner pressure roller 84 are distributed around the outer periphery of the first upper corrugated roller 1.

[0043] As a further embodiment, the angle α at which the traction belt 81 wraps around the first upper corrugated roller 1 is 90 degrees to 120 degrees.
[0044] The heating roller 83 is located at the inlet of the adhesive channel.
[0045] Its working principle is: See Figure 1As shown, the first upper corrugated roller 1 rotates in the direction of arrow R1, the second upper corrugated roller 2 rotates in the direction of arrow R2, and the power roller 82 of the adhesive pressing mechanism 8 rotates in the direction of arrow R3. The direction of arrow R1 is opposite to the direction of arrow R2, and the direction of arrow R3 is opposite to the direction of arrow R1. The first core paper 910 enters between the first lower corrugated roll 12 and the first upper corrugated roll 1 in the direction of arrow A to form the first single-layer corrugated paper 91. The second core paper 920 enters between the second lower corrugated roll 25 and the second upper corrugated roll 2 in the direction of arrow B to form the second single-layer corrugated paper 92. The first single-layer corrugated paper 91 directly enters between the first upper corrugated roll 1 and the second upper corrugated roll 2 around the first upper corrugated roll 1. While the outer corner of the second single-layer corrugated paper 92 is being sized by the corrugated paper gluing assembly 6, it enters between the first upper corrugated roll 1 and the second upper corrugated roll 2 around the second upper corrugated roll 2. Under the heating of the first upper corrugated roll 1 and the second upper corrugated roll 2 and the joint extrusion of the corners, the corners of the first single-layer corrugated paper 91 and the second single-layer corrugated paper 92 are brought together to form a corrugated paper with corners facing each other.
[0046] The corrugated paper, tip to tip, continues to wrap around the first upper corrugating roller 1, and then sequentially passes through the second gluing assembly 7 (the glue applied is raw glue, which needs to be heated and gelatinized before bonding) and the pre-gelatinization device 20 before entering the bonding channel. The second gluing assembly 7 applies sizing to the other side of the corrugated paper 92 of the second single-layer corrugated paper before it enters the bonding channel; then, the pre-gelatinization device 20 sprays high-temperature steam into the glue (paste) G at the corrugated tips (see... Figure 2 As indicated by arrow F in the middle, this allows the adhesive to gelatinize before entering the traction belt, without significantly altering its moisture content, thus preserving the penetration of subsequent adhesives, shortening the gelatinization time, and ultimately increasing production speed.
[0047] The face paper 93 is conveyed along the direction of arrow C and enters the bonding channel with the corrugated paper tip to tip coated with paste-coated glue. During this process, the glue will penetrate into the paper and then be heated, squeezed, bonded and cured to form the corrugated three-layer corrugated cardboard 9. The corrugated three-layer corrugated cardboard 9 is output along the direction of arrow D.
