Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor platform technology, specifically a conveyor platform for sponge foaming. Background Technology

[0002] Sponge foaming is a very common manufacturing process for materials such as sponges, foam boards, and granular foam. The process involves expanding the raw materials under high temperature and pressure to form a bubble structure, and then cooling and assembling them into products. It has excellent softness, elasticity, water absorption, and water resistance.

[0003] According to the patent titled "A Conveyor for Sponge Foaming" (Patent Publication No.: CN221560775U, Patent Publication Date: 2024-08-20), it includes a frame and a roller conveyor. One end of the roller conveyor passes through the frame and extends outward. The frame is respectively equipped with a first processing mechanism and a second processing mechanism. A third processing mechanism cooperating with the second processing mechanism is also provided at the bottom of the frame. By integrating the first processing mechanism, the second processing mechanism, and a fourth motor on the frame and the roller conveyor, instant edge correction of the sponge blocks during the conveying process is achieved, avoiding subsequent independent grinding or trimming steps, significantly shortening the production cycle, and improving overall production efficiency. At the same time, since the grinding process is carried out simultaneously with the conveying process, equipment idle time and energy consumption are reduced, further reducing production costs.

[0004] Based on the aforementioned existing technology, the existing sponge foaming conveyor platform still has the following problems: the existing sponge foaming conveyor platform does not have a centering mechanism, and the sponge material may shift due to inertia, vibration or insufficient equipment precision during the conveying process, resulting in uneven foaming. Therefore, this utility model provides a sponge foaming conveyor platform. Utility Model Content

[0012] Preferably, the drive unit includes a third rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate, wherein a drive gear and a worm gear are fixedly mounted on the surface of the third rotating shaft, and the drive gear meshes with the linkage gear.

[0013] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate, and a worm gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor. A bearing seat is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate, and one end of the worm gear rotates inside the bearing seat, with the worm gear meshing with a worm wheel.

The linked gears, via a second shaft, drive a second wheel, which, via a belt, drives a first wheel. The first wheel, via a first shaft, drives a transmission gear, which in turn moves a rack. The rack moves a baffle assembly synchronously, thus achieving centered movement of the sponge during foaming. This prevents the sponge material from shifting due to inertia, vibration, or insufficient equipment precision during transport, which could lead to uneven foaming.

[0017] 2. The conveyor platform for sponge foaming uses T-shaped blocks that slide into the interior of fixed rods and are fixed to the fixed rods with bolts, thereby enabling the disassembly and installation of the baffles. This avoids the need to replace the entire part when the baffles are damaged, reducing resource waste. Attached Figure Description
