Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bottle cap production, and in particular to a dust removal device for gasket machine production. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process of a gasket machine, because the gaskets are made of paper, they inevitably carry away debris and particulate matter as the machine runs. Furthermore, the stamping process also generates debris or particulate matter. This debris and particulate matter not only affects the cleanliness of the production environment but can also interfere with the normal operation of the equipment and even affect product quality. Therefore, effectively removing this debris and particulate matter is a crucial issue in the gasket machine production process.

[0003] Currently, common dust removal methods include mechanical dust collection, wet dust collection, and electrostatic dust collection. Mechanical dust collection mainly separates particulate matter through filters or centrifugal force. Its advantages are simple structure and low cost, but its disadvantages are low dust collection efficiency, especially poor capture effect on fine particles. Wet dust collection captures particulate matter through water mist or water film, with high dust collection efficiency, but it consumes a large amount of water resources and may cause secondary pollution. Electrostatic dust collection uses a high-voltage electric field to adsorb particulate matter, with high dust collection efficiency and low energy consumption, but the equipment is complex and maintenance costs are high. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a dust removal device for gasket machine production that is simple in structure and maintenance, highly efficient, and low in energy consumption.

[0005] The dust removal device for gasket machine production provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A dust removal device for a gasket machine includes a negative pressure fan installed below the gasket machine's workbench. One end of the negative pressure fan is connected to a dust collection component, which can perform dust collection on the bottle caps assembled inside the gasket machine. A detection component is provided on the dust collection component to detect the position of the bottle caps.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a negative pressure fan is installed below the gasket machine's workbench, and a dust collection component effectively removes debris and particulate matter generated during gasket production, improving the cleanliness of the production environment and preventing any impact on equipment operation and product quality. Simultaneously, a detection component monitors the position of the bottle caps, ensuring the accuracy of the dust collection operation and improving dust removal efficiency. The overall solution is simple in structure, easy to maintain, and boasts high dust removal efficiency and low energy consumption.

[0008] Preferably, the dust collection assembly includes a dust collection bend, a dust collection connecting pipe, and a dust collection trough. The dust collection connecting pipe is installed on the workbench of the gasket machine. One end of the dust collection connecting pipe passes through the workbench and is connected to a negative pressure fan. One end of the dust collection bend is connected to the end of the dust collection connecting pipe away from the negative pressure fan. The end of the dust collection bend away from the dust collection connecting pipe is connected to the dust collection trough. The opening of the dust collection trough is oriented towards the workbench.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the dust collection assembly includes a suction bend, a suction connecting pipe, and a suction trough. The suction connecting pipe is installed on the worktable of the gasket machine and connected to the negative pressure fan. The suction bend connects the suction connecting pipe to the suction trough, with the trough opening facing the worktable. This structure effectively forms an airflow channel from the worktable to the negative pressure fan, ensuring efficient dust collection of the bottle caps assembled inside the gasket machine, reducing the impact of debris and particulate matter on the production environment and equipment operation, while improving dust removal efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0010] Preferably, the dust collection tank is inclined toward the inner bottom wall of the workbench toward the dust collection bend.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner bottom wall of the dust collection tank is inclined towards the dust collection bend, which can effectively guide debris and particulate matter to concentrate towards the dust collection bend, reduce the possibility of debris remaining in the dust collection tank, thereby improving dust removal efficiency and reducing the workload of cleaning and maintenance.

[0012] Preferably, the dust collection tank extends towards the workbench, and a gap is formed between the dust collection tank and the workbench for the bottle cap to pass through.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the dust collection trough extends towards the workbench, forming a gap between them for bottle caps to pass through, allowing the dust collection trough to be closer to the workbench surface. This design effectively reduces the escape path of particles between the workbench and the dust collection trough, thereby improving dust removal efficiency. At the same time, due to the reasonable design of the gap, it does not obstruct the normal conveying of bottle caps, ensuring the smoothness of the production process.

[0014] Preferably, the detection component includes a first detector and a controller. The first detector is installed on the dust collection tank and located on the side of the dust collection bend near the material feeding side. The controller is electrically connected to the negative pressure fan. The first detector is used to detect bottle caps with gaskets on the workbench. If a foreign object exceeding a preset height is detected, an abnormal foreign object signal is sent to the controller. When the controller receives the abnormal foreign object signal sent by the first detector, it controls the negative pressure fan to increase its power.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the detection component can monitor the status of bottle caps with gaskets on the gasket machine's worktable in real time. When an abnormal foreign object is detected, the controller receives the abnormal foreign object signal and controls the negative pressure fan to increase its power, thereby increasing suction to remove the foreign object. This method not only enables timely detection and handling of foreign object problems but also avoids production failures caused by foreign objects during equipment operation, improving dust removal efficiency and production stability.

[0016] Preferably, the detection component further includes a second detector, which is installed on the dust collection tank and located on the side of the dust collection bend away from the first detector. The detection direction of the second detector is towards the workbench. The second detector is electrically connected to the controller. When the second detector detects that there are no bottle caps at a preset number of workstations on the workbench, it sends a stop signal to the controller. After receiving the stop signal, the controller controls the negative pressure fan to stop.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dust collection component is working, the second detector can detect whether there are bottle caps at a preset number of workstations on the worktable. If no bottle caps are detected at the preset number of workstations, the second detector will send a stop signal to the controller, which will then control the negative pressure fan to stop. This design effectively avoids the negative pressure fan from running continuously when there are no bottle caps to process, thereby reducing energy consumption and extending the service life of the equipment. The overall device achieves efficient removal of debris and particulate matter during the production process of the gasket machine, while simplifying the equipment structure and reducing maintenance costs.

[0018] Preferably, a sealing ring groove is provided at one end of the dust collection tank near the workbench, and a sealing ring plate is slidably disposed in the sealing ring groove. A magnetic element is provided at the end of the sealing ring plate away from the workbench, and an electromagnetic element is provided at the bottom of the sealing ring groove. The electromagnetic element can be magnetically attracted to the magnetic element. The electromagnetic element is electrically connected to the controller. A third detector is also provided on the dust collection tank, and the third detector is electrically connected to the controller. The third detector is located on the side of the first detector away from the second detector. After the third detector detects that a bottle cap has entered the coverage area of ​​the dust collection tank, it sends an arrival signal to the controller. The controller receives the arrival signal sent by the third detector and controls the electromagnetic element to demagnetize.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a sealing ring plate is installed at one end of the dust collection tank near the workbench, and the sealing ring plate automatically opens and closes through the cooperation of magnetic and electromagnetic components. When the third detector detects that a bottle cap has entered the coverage area of ​​the dust collection tank, the controller controls the electromagnetic component to demagnetize, causing the sealing ring plate to open, thereby creating a sealed environment as the bottle cap passes by, effectively preventing dust from escaping. The automatic opening and closing design of the sealing ring plate not only improves dust removal efficiency but also avoids manual operation, reducing equipment complexity and maintenance costs.

[0020] Preferably, an elastic pad is embedded in the bottom of the sealing ring plate, and the elastic pad can contact the workbench.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic pad effectively reduces the rigid contact between the sealing ring plate and the worktable, preventing wear on the worktable surface caused by long-term use. Simultaneously, the elastic pad has a certain degree of deformation capability, allowing it to better conform to the worktable surface, enhancing the sealing performance between the dust collection tank and the worktable, thereby improving dust removal efficiency.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. A negative pressure fan is installed below the gasket machine's workbench and uses a dust extraction component to vacuum the bottle caps, effectively removing debris and particulate matter generated during gasket production. This improves the cleanliness of the production environment and prevents impacts on equipment operation and product quality. Simultaneously, a detection component monitors the bottle cap's position, ensuring precise dust extraction and improving efficiency. The overall solution is simple in structure, easy to maintain, and boasts high dust extraction efficiency and low energy consumption.

[0024] 2. The dust collection assembly includes a suction bend, a suction connecting pipe, and a suction trough. The suction connecting pipe is installed on the worktable of the gasket machine and connected to the negative pressure fan. The suction bend connects the suction connecting pipe to the suction trough, with the trough opening facing the worktable. This structure effectively forms an airflow channel from the worktable to the negative pressure fan, ensuring efficient dust collection of the bottle caps assembled inside the gasket machine, reducing the impact of debris and particulate matter on the production environment and equipment operation, while improving dust removal efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0025] 3. A sealing ring plate is installed at one end of the dust collection tank near the workbench, and its automatic opening and closing is achieved through the cooperation of magnetic and electromagnetic components. When the third detector detects a bottle cap entering the coverage area of ​​the dust collection tank, the controller demagnetizes the electromagnetic component, causing the sealing ring plate to open, thus creating a sealed environment as the bottle cap passes through, effectively preventing dust from escaping. The automatic opening and closing design of the sealing ring plate not only improves dust removal efficiency but also eliminates manual operation, reducing equipment complexity and maintenance costs.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application provides a dust removal device for gasket machine production, referring to... Figure 1 The system includes a negative pressure fan, a dust collection component 2, and a detection component 3. One end of the negative pressure fan is connected to the dust collection component 2, and the detection component 3 is installed on the dust collection component 2. The negative pressure fan is installed below the worktable 1 of the gasket machine. The dust collection component 2 can perform dust collection on the bottle caps assembled inside the gasket machine, and the detection component 3 is used to detect the position of the bottle caps. This achieves efficient removal of debris and particulate matter generated during the production process, thereby improving the cleanliness of the production environment and the stability of equipment operation.

[0034] A negative pressure fan is installed below the workbench 1 of the gasket machine, and a dust extraction component 2 removes dust from the bottle caps, effectively eliminating debris and particulate matter generated during gasket production, improving the cleanliness of the production environment and preventing any impact on equipment operation and product quality. Simultaneously, a detection component 3 detects the position of the bottle caps, ensuring the accuracy of the dust extraction operation and improving dust removal efficiency. The overall solution is simple in structure, easy to maintain, and boasts high dust removal efficiency and low energy consumption.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dust collection component 2 includes a dust collection pipe 22, which is installed on the workbench 1 of the pad machine. One end of the dust collection pipe 22 passes through the workbench 1 and is connected to the negative pressure fan. At the same time, a detachable dust collection bag is also pre-installed at the end of the dust collection pipe 22 near the negative pressure fan.

[0036] A suction pipe 21 is welded to the end of the suction pipe 22 away from the negative pressure fan. A suction trough 23 is welded to the end of the suction pipe 21 away from the suction pipe 22. The suction pipe, the suction pipe 21 and the suction trough 23 are connected. The opening of the suction trough 23 is set towards the workbench 1.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The dust collection trough 23 is inclined toward the inner bottom wall of the workbench 1 toward the dust collection bend 21. The dust collection trough 23 extends toward the workbench 1, and a gap is formed between the dust collection trough 23 and the workbench 1 for the bottle cap to pass through.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The dust collection tank 23 has a sealing ring groove 231 at one end near the workbench 1. A sealing ring plate 24 is slidably disposed in the sealing ring groove 231. An elastic soft pad 241 is embedded in the bottom of the end of the sealing ring plate 24 near the workbench 1. The elastic soft pad 241 is made of rubber and can contact the workbench 1.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A magnetic element 25 is provided at the end of the sealing ring plate 24 away from the worktable 1. In this embodiment, the magnetic element 25 is a metal part that can be magnetically attracted. An electromagnetic element 26 is provided at the bottom of the sealing ring groove 231. The electromagnetic element 26 is an electromagnet that is energized. The electromagnetic element 26 can be magnetically attracted to the magnetic element 25 when energized, and cannot be magnetically attracted to the magnetic element 25 when de-energized.

[0040] The detection component 3 includes a third detector 34 and a controller 32. In this embodiment, the third detector 34 is an infrared detector, and the controller 32 is a PLC controller 32. Both the third detector 34 and the controller 32 are installed on the dust collection tank 23. The third detector 34 is installed on the side of the dust collection bend 21 near the material feeding side. The third detector 34 and the electromagnetic component 26 are both electrically connected to the controller 32. After the third detector 34 detects that a bottle cap has entered the coverage area of ​​the dust collection tank 23, it sends an arrival signal to the controller 32. Upon receiving the arrival signal from the third detector 34, the controller 32 controls the electromagnetic component 26 to demagnetize. At this time, under the action of gravity, the sealing ring plate 24 descends and contacts the workbench 1 to reduce the large-scale airflow between the internal and external spaces of the dust collection tank 23.

[0041] The detection component 3 also includes a first detector 31. In this embodiment, the first detector 31 can be a non-contact detection element such as a photoelectric sensor or an ultrasonic sensor to avoid interfering with the normal movement of the bottle cap. The first detector 31 is installed on the suction tank 23 and located on the side of the suction bend 21 near the feeding side. Specifically, the first detector 31 is located between the third detector 34 and the suction bend 21. The first detector 31 is electrically connected to the controller 32, and the controller 32 is electrically connected to the negative pressure fan. The first detector 31 is used to detect the bottle caps with gaskets on the workbench 1. If a foreign object exceeding a preset height is detected, an abnormal foreign object signal is sent to the controller 32. After receiving the abnormal foreign object signal, the controller 32 controls the negative pressure fan to increase its power.

[0042] The detection assembly 3 also includes a second detector 33, which is mounted on the dust collection tank 23 and located on the side of the dust collection bend 21 away from the first detector 31, with its detection direction facing the workbench 1. The second detector 33 is electrically connected to the controller 32 and is used to send a stop signal to the controller 32 when there are no bottle caps at a preset number of workstations on the workbench 1. Upon receiving the stop signal, the controller 32 controls the negative pressure fan to stop. The second detector 33 can also be a photoelectric sensor or an ultrasonic sensor, and its detection range can be adjusted according to the number and layout of workstations to ensure detection accuracy. If the second detector 33 detects a bottle cap passing by, it sends a dust collection completion signal to the controller 32. Upon receiving the dust collection completion signal, the controller 32 controls the electromagnetic component 26 to be energized, so that the magnetic component 25 is attracted upward, lifting the sealing ring plate 24 to allow the bottle cap of the next workstation to enter the dust collection area of ​​the dust collection tank 23.

[0043] The implementation principle of a dust removal device for a gasket machine production according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: After the bottle cap is fed by the feeding device, it enters the workbench 1. The workbench 1 rotates intermittently to change the position of the bottle cap. When the gasket is placed inside the bottle cap, the bottle cap moves towards the dust collection tank 23. After the third detector 34 detects that a bottle cap has entered the coverage area of ​​the dust collection tank 23, it sends an arrival signal to the controller 32. Upon receiving the arrival signal from the third detector 34, the controller 32 controls the electromagnetic component 26 to demagnetize. At this time, under the action of gravity, the sealing ring plate 24 descends and contacts the workbench 1; the dust inside the bottle cap is sucked away. When the bottle cap passes the detection position detected by the second detector 33, the second detector 33 sends a dust collection completion signal to the controller 32. Upon receiving the dust collection completion signal, the controller 32 controls the electromagnetic component 26 to turn on the magnet to attract the magnetic component 25 upward, lifting the sealing ring plate 24 so that the bottle cap of the next work station can enter the dust collection area of ​​the dust collection tank 23.

[0044] If the second detector 33 continuously detects that there are no bottle caps at a preset number of workstations, it sends a stop signal to the controller 32. After receiving the stop signal, the controller 32 controls the negative pressure fan to stop.

[0045] If the first detector 31 detects a foreign object exceeding a preset height, it sends an abnormal foreign object signal to the controller 32. Upon receiving the abnormal foreign object signal, the controller 32 controls the negative pressure fan to increase its power.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
