[0047] In application, the loading platform 5 is preferably equipped with a feeding limit guide rail 51, which is beneficial to guide the orderly output of the cut sponge and to increase the stability of the work.

[0048] In one embodiment, the overall structural composition is as follows:

[0049] The cubic sponge cutting machine of this embodiment includes a worktable 4, an automatic feeding device 1, a cutting device 2, a material carrier 5, and a control device 3. The components work together to achieve automatic feeding, continuous cutting, and orderly discharge of cubic sponges. The specific structure is as follows:

[0050] Workbench 4: Made of 40mm thick steel plate welded together, with dimensions of 2000mm×800mm×700mm, serving as the base for the entire machine installation to ensure the stability of the equipment operation.

[0051] Automatic feeding device 1:

[0052] First feeding rack 11: Fixed to the front end of workbench 4, constructed with aluminum alloy profile (section size 50mm×50mm), with 4 limiting holes (diameter 20mm, spacing 300mm) opened on the top along the length direction, and the first rotating mechanism 111 is installed thereon - 2 sets of active conveying rollers (rubber material, diameter 80mm, length 600mm), the active rollers are driven by servo motor (power 0.75kW) through chain transmission.

[0053] The second feeding rack 12 is mounted above the first feeding rack 11. Four limiting rods 121 (diameter 18mm, length 300mm) are provided at the corresponding limiting hole positions. The limiting rods 121 and the limiting holes are fitted together to achieve up and down sliding. The bottom of the second feeding rack 12 is equipped with a second rotating mechanism 122 - two sets of driven conveying rollers (rubber material, diameter 80mm, length 600mm), which are parallel to the active conveying rollers and correspond in height.

[0054] The active and passive conveying rollers can be configured as conveyor belts according to the needs of the work, which helps to increase the contact area with the cubic sponge, thereby increasing the contact friction and thus ensuring the continuous and stable feeding of the cubic sponge.

[0055] Elastomer 13: A compression spring (diameter 25mm, free length 100mm) is used. Each set of limiting rods 121 is fitted with a spring. The upper end of the spring abuts against the bottom of the second feeding frame 12, and the lower end abuts against the top of the first feeding frame 11. The elastic force causes the driven roller to adaptively press cubic sponges of different thicknesses (50-200mm).

[0056] Transmission relationship: The active conveying roller and the driven roller are controlled by PLC to achieve synchronous rotation in opposite directions (the active roller rotates clockwise and the driven roller rotates counterclockwise, with a linear speed adjustable from 0.5 to 2 m / min), and the sponge is conveyed to the cutting device 2 by friction.

[0057] Cutting device 2:

[0058] Cutting mechanism 21: Two independent cutting mechanisms 21 (500mm apart) are set up. The core of each group is a malleable heating wire (0.5mm diameter nickel-chromium alloy wire, working temperature adjustable from 200-300℃). The two ends of the heating wire are fixed by insulating clamps. The clamps are connected to a manual adjustment component (knob + screw) which can shape the heating wire into a straight line, a wavy line (wavelength 100mm) or an arc (radius 200mm).

[0059] Air blower 212: Each cutting mechanism 21 has 4 air blowers 212 (10mm diameter stainless steel pipes) evenly arranged around its circumference. The pipe openings are angled towards the heating wire (45° angle) and connected to a centrifugal fan (500Pa air pressure) to continuously blow out clean air to remove sponge debris generated during cutting and prevent it from sticking to the heating wire.

[0060] Material carrier 5: Made of stainless steel plate (3mm thick), 1500mm long, and the same width as worktable 4, it is connected to the discharge end of cutting device 2; the table surface is equipped with discharge limit guide rail 51 (aluminum alloy profiles on both sides, adjustable spacing of 600mm) to guide the orderly output of sponge after cutting.

[0061] Control device 3: It adopts a PLC controller (with touch screen) and is integrated into the control cabinet on the 4th side of the workbench. It is electrically connected to the servo motor, heating wire power supply and fan. It can set the conveying speed, cutting temperature and single cutting length (50-1000mm) and supports continuous cutting mode.

[0062] II. Work Process

[0063] Material preparation: Place a cubic sponge blank with a thickness of 80mm and a side length of 600mm between the active conveyor roller and the driven roller. The spring force makes the driven roller press the top surface of the sponge to accommodate the thickness error of the blank.

[0064] Parameter settings: The conveying speed is set to 1m / min, the heating wire temperature is set to 250℃, the heating wire of the first cutting mechanism 21 is set to a straight line (for cutting a 50mm thick plate), the second cutting mechanism 21 is set to a wavy line (for cutting a wavy curved surface), and the blowing intensity is set to 50%.

[0065] Automatic cutting: After the equipment is started, the active roller and the driven roller rotate synchronously in opposite directions, conveying the sponge to the cutting device 2 at a speed of 1m / min; the sponge first contacts the first set of heating wires and is cut into a 50mm thick flat plate, and then continues to be conveyed to the second set of heating wires, where it is cut into a wavy curved surface; the blowing pipe 212 blows air continuously to remove debris from the surface of the heating wires; or the first set of heating wires and the second set of heating wires cut different sides of the cubic sponge respectively, which can be flexibly set according to the actual work needs.

[0066] Material collection: The cut sponges are guided by the limiting guide rail of the loading platform 5 and neatly output to the downstream collection area to achieve continuous production.

[0067] III. Technical Effects

[0068] Increased production efficiency: Compared to manual single-piece feeding (approximately 50 pieces / hour), this embodiment achieves automatic continuous feeding, increasing the production capacity to 200 pieces / hour and saving the cost of 2 operators.

[0069] Diverse shapes: The heating wire shaping component allows for quick switching between straight lines, wavy lines, arcs, and other cutting shapes to meet the needs of various scenarios such as home furnishing and packaging.

[0070] Highly adaptable: The second feeding rack 12 is height-adjustable via a spring, and can accommodate cubic sponges with a thickness of 50-200mm without the need to change tooling.

[0071] Stable cutting quality: The blower tube 212 effectively removes debris and avoids cutting burrs caused by the heating wire sticking together, increasing the product qualification rate to 99%.

[0072] In addition, if a cutting blade is used as the cutting structure 211, the heating wire can be replaced with a high-speed steel blade, the temperature control can be eliminated, and the blower tube 212 can be retained. This is suitable for scenarios where there is no requirement for heat to affect the cutting surface, and multi-shape cutting can also be achieved.

[0073] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
