Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of embossing machine technology, and in particular to an embossing machine feeding structure. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as packaging and printing, the aesthetics and uniqueness of products are paramount. Embossing, as a processing method that imbues products with unique texture and visual effects, has seen widespread application in recent years. Embossing machines can press various exquisite patterns onto the surfaces of materials such as paper and plastic film, significantly enhancing the added value of products. With the continuous growth in market demand for embossed products, high-efficiency production of embossing machines has become a goal pursued by the industry. As the initial step in the embossing production process, the efficiency and stability of the feeding stage have a significant impact on overall production. A well-designed feeding structure ensures that materials enter the embossing machine smoothly and accurately, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality, and driving the development of the entire packaging and printing industry.

[0003] The related technology discloses a feeding device, including a material storage structure and an embossing machine. The material storage structure includes a material storage box and a picking wheel located above the material storage box. The picking wheel can feed the material in the material storage box from top to bottom into the feeding port of the embossing machine for processing.

[0004] However, since the materials enter the feed inlet sequentially from top to bottom, it is difficult to add materials to the storage bin from the top in the middle. The material in the storage bin must be emptied before subsequent feeding can be carried out, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a feeding structure for an embossing machine to solve the problem that the material in the current embossing machine feeding device enters the feed inlet sequentially from top to bottom, making it difficult to feed the material.

[0006] An embossing machine feeding structure, comprising:

[0007] Base;

[0008] The embossing machine body is located at one end of the base along the length direction and includes a feed inlet, which is located on one side of the embossing machine body along the length direction.

[0009] A feeding assembly is disposed on the base and close to the feeding port. Material is placed on the base and the feeding assembly is capable of transferring the bottom material to the feeding port.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the base, the embossing machine body, and the feeding component, materials can be conveyed from bottom to top into the embossing machine for embossing. This structure allows operators to continuously add materials from top to bottom, or to place appropriate amounts of materials in batches on the base and bring them into contact with the feeding component. The feeding component can then feed the bottommost material into the inlet for embossing, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and making it suitable for continuous production needs.

[0011] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly includes a movable member disposed on the base and capable of contacting the material, the movable member being capable of moving the material toward the feed inlet.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this design ensures that the material can be stably transported to the feed inlet, avoiding stagnation or deviation of the material during the transport process, improving the stability and reliability of the feed, and providing a good foundation for the subsequent embossing process.

[0013] In one embodiment, the moving component includes a conveyor belt and a motor. The conveyor belt is disposed within the base and protrudes from the upper surface of the base. One end of the conveyor belt extends to the feed inlet. The motor is disposed within the base and is capable of controlling the transmission of the conveyor belt. Material is disposed on the base and abuts against the conveyor belt.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this structure not only realizes the automated transfer of materials, but also ensures that the materials can move smoothly through direct contact between the conveyor belt and the materials.

[0015] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt surface is provided with anti-slip texture and multiple ventilation holes.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the anti-slip texture ensures that the material can move with the conveyor belt, preventing slippage or deviation during transmission and guaranteeing feeding accuracy. The ventilation holes allow the heat generated by the motor to dissipate, preheating the material and benefiting subsequent embossing processes, thus improving embossing quality and production efficiency.

[0017] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly further includes an abutment disposed at the upper end of the movable member, through which material can pass.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the abutment component is added, which serves to limit the amount of material. This prevents multiple materials from entering the feed inlet simultaneously during the feeding process, avoiding material overlap or paper jams. It ensures that only one sheet of material enters the embossing machine at a time, improving the accuracy and quality of embossing and reducing the risk of embossing failure or equipment damage caused by material overlap.

[0019] In one embodiment, the base is provided with a fixing block, there are two fixing blocks located on both sides of the moving member in the width direction, the abutting member includes a fixing plate and a moving block, the fixing plate extends in the width direction and is fixed to the fixing block at both ends, the moving block is provided on the fixing plate and located on the upper side of the moving member, and the moving block is movable in the height direction.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, this adjustable design can adjust the position of the moving block according to the thickness of the material, thereby adapting to materials of different thicknesses, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment, expanding the scope of application of the equipment, and enabling it to process a variety of materials of different specifications.

[0021] In one embodiment, the abutment further includes a bolt, the movable block has a limiting groove along the height direction, and the bolt passes through the fixing plate and extends into the limiting groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the bolt and limiting groove design in the abutment component makes the adjustment of the moving block more convenient and precise. Operators can loosen the bolts, move the moving block up and down, and then tighten the bolts to fix it. This simple adjustment method allows the equipment to quickly adapt to materials of different thicknesses, improving the equipment's adjustment efficiency and operational convenience, and further enhancing its versatility and practicality.

[0023] In one embodiment, the abutting member further includes two abutting plates, both extending along the length direction, and the abutting plates are located on both sides of the movable member along the width direction and are fixed to the fixed plate.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, this design can not only limit the material and ensure that the material maintains the correct position during the conveying process, preventing the incorrect placement of the material from affecting the embossing result, but also further stabilize the material transmission and improve the accuracy of feeding through the fixing effect of the abutment plate, thereby ensuring the consistency and stability of the embossing quality.

[0025] In one embodiment, the fixing plate is provided with two through holes, both of which extend along the width direction and are spaced apart along the width direction. The abutment plate is disposed in the corresponding through hole and is movable.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, this structure can adjust the position of the contact plate according to materials of different sizes, thereby adapting to a wider range of material sizes and expanding the scope of equipment application. At the same time, this adjustable contact plate design also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment, enabling it to better meet different production needs.

[0027] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly further includes a support member disposed on the side of the corresponding abutment plate near the movable member and spaced apart from the base, the support member being movable in the width direction and supporting the material.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, this design allows some materials to directly contact the base while others are supported by the support components, thereby reducing the weight of the bottom material and making it easier for the moving components to convey it. Simultaneously, the mobility of the support components allows the material to fall smoothly and continue to be conveyed to the embossing machine for embossing, further improving the smoothness and reliability of feeding, reducing material jamming or blockage during the feeding process, and increasing production efficiency.

[0029] In summary, this application includes at least one beneficial effect:

[0030] 1. Through the cooperation of the base, the embossing machine body, and the feeding component, materials can be fed into the embossing machine from bottom to top for embossing. This structure allows operators to continuously add materials from top to bottom, or to place appropriate amounts of material in batches on the base and bring them into contact with the feeding component. The feeding component can then feed the bottommost material into the inlet for embossing, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and making it suitable for continuous production needs.

[0031] 2. The anti-slip texture ensures that the material moves with the conveyor belt, preventing slippage or deviation during transport and guaranteeing accurate feeding. The ventilation holes allow heat generated by the motor to dissipate, preheating the material and improving subsequent embossing processes, thus enhancing embossing quality and production efficiency.

[0032] 3. This design allows some material to directly contact the base while others are supported by the support components, thus reducing the weight of the bottom material and making it easier for the moving parts to convey it. Simultaneously, the mobility of the support components allows the material to fall smoothly and continue to be conveyed to the embossing machine for embossing, further improving the smoothness and reliability of feeding, reducing material jamming or blockage during the feeding process, and increasing production efficiency.

[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The feeding structure of the embossing machine provided in this application will be described in further detail.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Please see Figure 1-4 The present application provides a feeding structure for an embossing machine, including a base 1, an embossing machine body 2, and a feeding component 3.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the base 1, as the basic support component of the entire feeding structure, is usually made of metal, such as stainless steel or carbon steel. This is because metal has high strength and stability, capable of bearing the weight of the embossing machine body 2 and the material. The base 1 can be a one-piece structure or a modular structure assembled by welding, bolts, etc. In practical applications, high-strength engineering plastics can also be considered for making the base 1. Engineering plastics have advantages such as light weight and corrosion resistance, which can reduce costs and maintenance difficulty to a certain extent.

[0042] The embossing machine body 2 is located at one end of the base 1 along its length. The embossing machine body 2 includes a feed inlet 21, which is located on one side along its length. Specifically, the embossing machine body 2 contains embossing-related mechanisms, such as embossing rollers, which are common components in existing embossing machines used for embossing materials. The feed inlet 21 receives the material from the feeding assembly 3. Its structure can be a large-opening rectangular channel to facilitate smooth material entry. The edges of the feed inlet 21 can be smoothly designed to reduce frictional resistance when the material enters. An outlet and an outlet plate 22 can be provided on the side of the embossing machine body 2 away from the feed inlet 21 for easy material collection.

[0043] The feeding assembly 3 is mounted on the base 1 and close to the feed inlet 21 of the embossing machine body 2. Material is placed on the base 1, and the feeding assembly 3 can transfer the bottommost material to the feed inlet 21. Specifically, the feeding assembly 3 includes a moving part 31, which is mounted on the base 1 and can contact the bottommost material. The moving part 31 can carry the material towards the feed inlet 21. The moving part 31 includes a conveyor belt 311 and a motor. The conveyor belt 311 is mounted on the base 1 and extends beyond the upper surface of the base 1, ensuring that the material moves on the conveyor belt 311. One end of the conveyor belt 311 extends to the feed inlet 21, allowing the material to be directly conveyed to the feed inlet 21. The motor is located inside the base 1 and can control the transmission of the conveyor belt 311. The conveyor belt 311 can be made of rubber, which has a certain degree of flexibility and friction. Rubber conveyor belts 311 have good wear resistance and a long service life. Alternatively, polyurethane conveyor belts 311 can be used, which have higher strength and corrosion resistance. The surface of the conveyor belt 311 is provided with anti-slip textures, which can be horizontal stripes or a grid pattern. The purpose is to increase the friction between the material and the conveyor belt 311, ensuring the material moves with the belt. The surface of the conveyor belt 311 also has multiple ventilation holes 3111, which can be circular, square, or other shapes. These ventilation holes allow the heat generated by the motor running within the base 1 to dissipate, thus preheating the material and facilitating subsequent embossing processes. The motor can be an AC motor, which offers advantages such as stable operation and convenient speed adjustment. A DC motor can also be used, offering better starting and braking performance. The material is primarily paper products such as paper, but can also be plastic sheets, etc.

[0044] The feeding assembly 3 also includes an abutment 32, which is located at the upper end of the moving part 31, allowing material to pass between the moving part 31 and the abutment 32. The abutment 32 limits the amount of material, preventing multiple materials from entering the feed inlet 21 simultaneously and affecting the embossing process when the moving part 31 controls the material to enter. Specifically, the base 1 has two fixing blocks 11 located on both sides of the moving part 31 along its width. One fixing block 11 may have a switch for controlling the motor to turn on or off; the other fixing block 11 may have a touch screen for controlling the embossing machine, used to adjust various parameters of the internal structure of the embossing machine. The abutment 32 includes a fixing plate 321 and a moving block 322. The fixing plate 321 extends along its width and is fixed to the fixing blocks 11 at both ends. The fixing plate 321 may be a long strip of metal plate, and its connection to the fixing blocks 11 may be welding or bolted with bolts 323 for easy disassembly and installation. The movable block 322 is disposed on the fixed plate 321 and located above the movable component 31. The movable block 322 can move along the height direction. The movable block 322 can be a block-shaped metal body, and its movement along the height direction can be achieved with the fixed plate 321 through the cooperation of guide rails and sliders. In this embodiment, the abutment component 32 also includes a bolt 323. The movable block 322 is provided with a limiting groove along the height direction. The bolt 323 passes through the fixed plate 321 and extends into the limiting groove. By loosening the bolt 323, then moving the movable block 322 up and down, and finally tightening the bolt 323 for fixation, it is convenient to adjust the position of the movable block 322 according to the thickness of the material.

[0045] The abutment member 32 may further include abutment plates 324. Two abutment plates 324 are provided, both extending along the length direction. The abutment plates 324 are disposed on both sides of the moving member 31 along the width direction and are fixed to the fixed plate 321. Specifically, one end of the abutment plate 324 is not only fixed to the fixed plate 321 but also extends to the feed inlet 21. The abutment plate 324 can be a thin metal plate, its function being to limit the material and maintain its correct position during conveying. In this embodiment, the fixed plate 321 is provided with two through holes 3211, both extending along the width direction. The two through holes 3211 are spaced apart along the width direction. Screws pass through the abutment plate 324 and extend into the through holes 3211, allowing the abutment plate 324 to move along the width direction, facilitating size adjustment to accommodate materials of different sizes and expanding its application range. The abutment plate 324 and the through hole 3211 can be fitted with a clearance to ensure that the abutment plate 324 can move flexibly while ensuring a certain degree of stability.

[0046] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The conveyor belt 311 in the moving part 31 rotates under the drive of the motor, and uses the anti-slip texture on the surface to move the material at the bottom towards the feed port 21, which facilitates continuous addition at the top and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the vent 3111 dissipates heat and preheats the material. The moving block 322 in the abutment part 32 can be adjusted in height to adapt to the material thickness, and the abutment plate 324 can be adjusted in width to adapt to materials of different sizes, thereby accurately limiting the quantity and position of materials, avoiding multiple materials from entering the feed port 21 at the same time, effectively improving the efficiency and accuracy of the embossing machine's feeding, reducing manpower input, and showing a significant improvement compared to the traditional feeding method, meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the feeding assembly 3 also includes a support member 33. The support member 33 is disposed on the side of the corresponding abutment plate 324 near the moving member 31 and spaced apart from the base 1. The support member 33 can move along the width direction and support the material.

[0049] Specifically, the support member 33 is used to support excess material, allowing some material to directly contact the base 1 while others are supported by the support member 33. This reduces the overall weight of the bottom material, making it easier for the moving member 31 to convey it. Additionally, the support member 33 can also move away from the moving member 31, causing the material above to fall and continue to be conveyed to the embossing machine for embossing. In this embodiment, the support member 33 includes a support plate 331, a stator 332, and a mover 333. Each abutment plate 324 has two corresponding support plates 331, which are spaced apart along the length direction. Both support plates 331 pass through the abutment plate 324 along the width direction and are located on the side of the abutment plate 324 closest to the mover 31. The stator 332 and the mover 333 are located on the side of the abutment plate 324 away from the mover 31. The stator 332 extends along the width direction, and the mover 333 is mounted on the stator 332 and fixed to the support plate 331. The mover 333 can move the support plate 331 along the width direction to support materials or cause materials to fall. The mover 333 and the stator 332 can also be other structures capable of moving the support plate 331. At this time, the feeding structure can also include a sensor, a controller and an alarm. The sensor can detect whether the material on the base 1 has been fully fed, and then transmit a signal to the controller, which will send a signal to the actuator 332 and the mover 333, which will then move the support plate 331 so that the material falls on the base 1, thus realizing the automation of feeding. At the same time, the controller can also control the alarm to sound an alarm, reminding personnel to replenish the material in time.

[0050] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: multiple stacks of materials can be placed sequentially on the moving part 31 by the support member 33 for feeding, which reduces the manual feeding operation of the user, helps to reduce the operating burden of the staff, and improves the working efficiency of the device.

[0051] 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.
