Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of detergent block production technology, and in particular to an integrated equipment for detergent block forming and drying. Background Technology

[0002] Detergent blocks are cleaning products made by processing detergent into a fixed shape through a specific process. Their production process usually includes core steps such as raw material mixing, molding, and drying.

[0003] In traditional production models, molding and drying processes are typically carried out in separate stages using independent equipment. After molding, the wet wash blocks need to be transported to the drying equipment manually or mechanically. During the transfer process, due to the soft texture of the wet wash blocks, they are easily deformed by collisions and compression, resulting in a breakage rate as high as 10% to 15%, which seriously affects the product qualification rate and production efficiency.

[0004] In addition, during the traditional production process of printing and cutting the strip-shaped detergent blocks produced by the extruder, the printing rollers are in contact with the surface of the detergent blocks. Due to the high viscosity of the detergent components, the rollers are prone to sticking together, resulting in blurry and incomplete printed patterns. In the cutting process, the cutting blades are also affected by the adhesion of sticky materials, resulting in problems such as material sticking to the blade and increased cutting resistance. Ultimately, this leads to dimensional deviations and irregular edges in the cut detergent blocks, making it difficult for the product appearance and specifications to meet the standards. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an integrated washing block forming and drying equipment, which solves the technical problems of existing technology where washing block forming and drying are carried out in stages, which easily leads to breakage and deformation during the transfer of washing blocks, and the high viscosity during cutting and forming results in dimensional deviations and irregular edges of the cut washing blocks, making it difficult for the product appearance and specifications to meet the standards.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated washing block forming and drying equipment, including a base, an extruder mounted on the base, a discharge pipe mounted on the extruder, a microwave dryer mounted on the outside of the discharge pipe, a steam exhaust pipe mounted on the top of the discharge pipe, a printing mechanism to prevent printing sticking is provided on the base and at the discharge port of the discharge pipe, a U-shaped plate is mounted on the base and on one side of the printing mechanism, traction rollers are arrayed inside the U-shaped plate, a cutting and forming mechanism to prevent washing blocks from sticking during cutting and forming is mounted on the U-shaped plate, and a conveyor belt is installed inside the U-shaped plate.

[0007] A further improvement is that the printing mechanism includes a transmission box mounted on a base, with meshing transmission gears installed on both sides inside the transmission box, each transmission gear having a rotating shaft mounted on it, a support roller mounted on the outer end of the bottom rotating shaft, and a printing roller mounted on the outer end of the top rotating shaft. A drive motor for driving the transmission gears to rotate is mounted on the transmission box, and a cleaning component for cleaning the printing tank is provided on one side of the printing roller.

[0008] A further improvement is that the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning box mounted on the transmission box via a connecting rod, a cleaning roller brush rotatably connected inside the cleaning box, an injection pipe installed on the top of the cleaning box, a drain pipe penetrating the transmission box installed on the bottom side of the cleaning box, and a transmission assembly installed on one side of the cleaning roller brush.

[0009] A further improvement is that the cleaning box has an open structure on the side close to the printing roller and is tightly attached to the printing roller, and the bottom of the cleaning box has a sloping structure.

[0010] A further improvement is that the cutting and forming mechanism includes mounting frames symmetrically installed on both sides of the U-shaped plate, a rotating shaft rotatably connected between the two mounting frames, cross mounting frames symmetrically installed at both ends of the rotating shaft, a cutting wire installed between the ends of the two cross mounting frames, a cutting motor for driving the rotating shaft to rotate installed on the mounting frame, and a wiping component for wiping and cleaning the cutting wire between the ends of the two cross mounting frames.

[0011] A further improvement is that the wiping assembly includes an electric guide rail installed between two cross-shaped mounting brackets, an electric slide plate slidably connected to the electric guide rail, and a through hole at the top of the electric slide plate sleeved on the outside of the cutting wire, with a wiping cotton strip fitted to the cutting wire installed in the through hole.

[0012] A further improvement is that a laser emitter is mounted on the mounting bracket, a laser receiver plate adapted to the laser emitter is mounted on the cross mounting bracket, and the laser receiver plate is electrically connected to the electric sliding plate.

[0013] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides an integrated equipment for forming and drying washing blocks, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses an extruder to mix and extrude various raw materials, forming strip-shaped washing blocks through a discharge pipe. During the discharge process, a microwave dryer is used to quickly and evenly dry the extruded strip-shaped washing blocks. Compared with traditional hot air drying methods, the microwave dryer can simultaneously heat and dry the inside and outside of the washing blocks, improving drying efficiency and avoiding the situation where the outside is dry but the inside is still moist.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses the rotation of the top rotating shaft, in conjunction with the transmission component, to drive the cleaning roller brush to rotate and clean the surface of the printing roller. In addition, the liquid injection pipe sprays cleaning liquid onto the cleaning roller brush, further improving the cleaning effect and thus avoiding the residue of washing blocks on the printing roller, which would cause the subsequent printed pattern to be blurry or incomplete.

[0016] 3. This utility model uses a cutting motor to drive a rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the cross mounting bracket on it to rotate. The cutting wire installed at the end of the cross mounting bracket cuts the strip-shaped washing block into shape. Since the cutting wire reduces the contact area with the washing block compared to a traditional cutter, it reduces adhesion and improves the finished quality of the washing block.

[0017] 4. As the cross mounting bracket rotates, the laser receiving plate also rotates and receives the laser emitted by the laser transmitter during this process. It sends an electrical signal to the electric sliding plate, which drives the electric sliding plate to slide along the electric guide rail. This causes the wiping cotton strip to wipe the detergent residue adhering to the surface of the cutting wire, thereby preventing adhesion during subsequent cutting and affecting the finished quality of the detergent.

[0035] 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.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Based on existing technologies for segmented washing block forming and drying, the washing blocks are prone to breakage and deformation during transport. Furthermore, due to their high viscosity, the cut washing blocks often exhibit dimensional deviations and irregular edges, resulting in products that fail to meet appearance and specifications. This embodiment provides an integrated washing block forming and drying device that simultaneously dries the washing blocks during extrusion forming, avoiding the time wasted on transporting them and the resulting breakage and deformation. It also continuously cleans the cutting wires to prevent washing block residue from adhering to their surface, which could cause adhesion between the wires and the washing blocks during cutting, leading to dimensional deviations and irregular edges in the cut blocks. Please refer to... Figures 1-8The washing block forming and drying integrated equipment includes a base 1, an extruder 2 installed on the base 1, a discharge pipe 3 installed on the extruder 2, a microwave dryer 4 installed on the outside of the discharge pipe 3, a steam exhaust pipe 5 installed on the top of the discharge pipe 3, a printing mechanism 6 to prevent printing sticking is provided on the base 1 and located at the discharge port of the discharge pipe 3, a U-shaped plate 7 is installed on the base 1 and located on one side of the printing mechanism 6, a traction roller 8 is arranged in an array inside the U-shaped plate 7, a cutting and forming mechanism 9 to prevent the washing blocks from sticking during cutting and forming is installed on the U-shaped plate 7, and a conveyor belt 10 is installed inside the U-shaped plate 7.

[0038] The raw materials are mixed and extruded through the extruder 2, and formed into strip-shaped washing blocks through the discharge pipe 3. During the discharge process, the extruded strip-shaped washing blocks are quickly and evenly dried through the microwave dryer 4. Compared with traditional hot air drying methods, the microwave dryer 4 can heat and dry the washing blocks inside and out at the same time, which improves the drying efficiency and avoids the situation where the outside is dry but the inside is still wet. The water vapor generated during the drying process is discharged through the exhaust pipe 5. Then, the strip-shaped washing blocks are printed through the printing mechanism 6. After being pulled by the traction roller 8, the strip-shaped washing blocks are cut and shaped by the cutting and forming mechanism 9. Finally, they are transported and packaged through the conveyor belt 10.

[0039] During the washing block forming process, the washing blocks need to be branded. Therefore, the device is also equipped with a printing mechanism 6. The printing mechanism 6 includes a transmission box 61 installed on the base 1. Transmission gears 62 that mesh with each other are installed on both sides of the transmission box 61. Rotating shafts 63 are installed on each of the transmission gears 62. A support roller 64 is installed on the outer end of the bottom rotating shaft 63, and a printing roller 65 is installed on the outer end of the top rotating shaft 63. A drive motor 66 that drives the transmission gears 62 to rotate is installed on the transmission box 61. A cleaning component 67 for cleaning the printing tank is provided on one side of the printing roller 65. When the drive motor 66 is started, the top transmission gear 62 is rotated, which in turn drives the bottom transmission gear 62 that meshes with it to rotate, thereby driving the two rotating shafts 63 to rotate relative to each other, and then driving the support roller 64 and the printing roller 65 to rotate. While conveying the strip-shaped washing blocks, the washing blocks are printed by the printing roller 65.

[0040] During the printing process, the printing roller 65 contacts the washing block for printing. During this process, some washing block may remain in the printing groove of the printing roller 65, causing the subsequent printed pattern to be blurry and incomplete. Therefore, the device is also equipped with a cleaning component 67. The cleaning component 67 includes a cleaning box 671 mounted on the transmission box 61 via a connecting rod. A cleaning roller brush 672 is rotatably connected inside the cleaning box 671. An injection pipe 673 is installed on the top of the cleaning box 671. A drain pipe 674 that penetrates the transmission box 61 is installed on the bottom side of the cleaning box 671. A transmission component 675 is installed on one side of the cleaning roller brush 672.

[0041] The cleaning box 671 has an open structure on the side close to the printing roller 65 and is tightly attached to the printing roller 65. The bottom of the cleaning box 671 has a sloping structure. The transmission component 675 includes a pulley installed on one side of the cleaning roller brush 672, and a belt groove is opened on the top rotating shaft 63. A transmission belt is connected to the pulley and the belt groove. Therefore, as the top rotating shaft 63 rotates, it drives the cleaning roller brush 672 to rotate and brush the surface of the printing roller 65. In conjunction with the liquid injection pipe 673, cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the cleaning roller brush 672 to further improve the brushing effect, thereby avoiding the residue of washing blocks on the printing roller 65, which would cause the subsequent printing pattern to be blurry or incomplete. The impurities washed off are discharged into the drain pipe 674 through the sloping bottom of the cleaning box 671.

[0042] Traditional detergent block cutting methods often use cutting blades, but due to the large contact area between the cutting blade and the detergent block, adhesion is easily generated, affecting the quality of the cut detergent blocks. Therefore, this device is equipped with a cutting and forming mechanism 9. The cutting and forming mechanism 9 includes mounting frames 91 symmetrically installed on both sides of a U-shaped plate 7. A rotating shaft 92 is rotatably connected between the two mounting frames 91. Cross mounting frames 93 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 92. Cutting wires 94 are installed between the ends of the two cross mounting frames 93. A cutting motor 95 is installed on the mounting frame 91 to drive the rotating shaft 92 to rotate. A wiping component 96 is provided between the ends of the two cross mounting frames 93 to wipe and clean the cutting wires 94. When the cutting motor 95 is started, it drives the rotating shaft 92 to rotate, which in turn drives the cross mounting frames 93 to rotate. The cutting wires 94 installed at the ends of the cross mounting frames 93 cut the strip-shaped detergent blocks into shape. Since the cutting wires 94 reduce the contact area with the detergent block compared to traditional cutting blades, adhesion is reduced, and the quality of the finished detergent blocks is improved.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Because the cutting wire 94 is also affected by the adhesion of sticky materials, resulting in material sticking, the dimensional deviation and irregular edges of the cut washing blocks are caused, making it difficult for the product appearance and specifications to meet the standards. Therefore, based on Example 1, as... Figures 1-8 As shown, the device is equipped with a wiping assembly 96, which includes an electric guide rail 961 installed between two cross mounting brackets 93. An electric slide plate 962 is slidably connected to the electric guide rail 961, and the top through hole of the electric slide plate 962 is sleeved on the outside of the cutting wire 94. A wiping cotton strip 963 that is attached to the cutting wire 94 is installed in the through hole.

[0045] A laser emitter 964 is mounted on the mounting bracket 91, and a laser receiver plate 965 adapted to the laser emitter 964 is mounted on the cross mounting bracket 93. The laser receiver plate 965 is electrically connected to the electric slide plate 962. As the cross mounting bracket 93 rotates, the laser receiver plate 965 mounted on it receives the laser emitted by the laser emitter 964 during the rotation. At this time, it sends an electrical signal to the electric slide plate 962, driving the electric slide plate 962 to slide along the electric guide rail 961. This causes the wiping cotton strip 963 to wipe the detergent residue adhering to the surface of the cutting wire 94, thereby preventing adhesion during subsequent cutting and affecting the finished quality of the detergent.
