Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste material recycling technology, specifically a horizontal baler. Background Technology

[0002] As a highly efficient packaging equipment, baling machines are widely used in various industries such as waste recycling, textiles, clothing, and food. By compressing and baling materials, they can not only significantly reduce the volume of materials and improve warehousing and transportation efficiency, but also reduce logistics costs for enterprises and achieve efficient utilization of resources.

[0003] Currently, horizontal balers are frequently used for baling waste sponges, cotton, and other materials. Their main structure includes a feeding hopper, a compression chamber, and a pressure plate. During operation, the material is first placed in the feeding hopper, and then pushed from the feeding hopper into the compression chamber by the pressure plate for compression, ultimately completing the baling process.

[0004] However, in actual operation, it was found that due to the significant rebound force of materials such as sponge and cotton, when the pressure plate pushes the material from the feed hopper to the compression chamber inlet, the material easily surges upward under the rebound force and accumulates in the gap area between the pressure plate and the compression chamber inlet. As the material continues to be conveyed, blockage and jamming gradually form in this gap, leading to a sharp increase in the pressure plate's pushing resistance. This not only affects the normal operating efficiency of the baler but may also exacerbate the wear and tear on core components such as the pressure plate and transmission mechanism. Therefore, we propose a horizontal baler to effectively solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a horizontal baler to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where materials are easily pushed upwards by the rebound force and accumulate above the pressure plate and between the compression chamber inlet.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a horizontal baling machine, including a frame, in which a compression chamber and a feeding chamber are arranged sequentially along the horizontal direction, and the feeding chamber is connected to the compression chamber; a feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding chamber, and a compression component is arranged in the feeding chamber to compress the material into the compression chamber.

[0007] A positioning shaft capable of moving up and down is installed inside the feed hopper. Two baffles are rotatably connected to the positioning shaft, and the two baffles can be retracted or extended.

[0008] Optionally, the end of the compression chamber away from the feed chamber is hinged with a chamber door, and an opening cylinder for opening the chamber door is installed on the frame.

[0009] Optionally, a plurality of first wire-passing grooves are provided on the upper and lower sides of the compression chamber, and a plurality of second wire-passing grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the compression chamber.

[0010] Optionally, the compression assembly includes a pressure plate movably disposed within the feed hopper, and a main hydraulic cylinder mounted on the frame to move the pressure plate horizontally.

[0011] Optionally, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the top of the feed hopper, and a lifting cylinder is mounted on the mounting base. The output end of the lifting cylinder is connected to a positioning shaft.

[0012] Optionally, positioning slide rods are fixed on the front and rear sides of the baffle, and positioning slide grooves are provided on the inner wall of the feed hopper to slide and cooperate with each positioning slide rod.

[0013] The positioning slide includes an inclined slide and a vertical slide arranged sequentially from top to bottom; when the positioning slide is at the uppermost end of the inclined slide, the two baffles are in a retracted state; when the positioning slide is in the vertical slide, the two baffles are in an extended state.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a horizontal packing machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention utilizes a positioning shaft and two baffles. During the feeding phase, the two baffles are in a retracted state, ensuring smooth material entry into the feed hopper. After feeding, the two baffles rotate around the positioning shaft, expand relative to each other, and move downwards to seal the lower end of the feed hopper. This design creates a physical barrier when the compression assembly is operating, completely blocking the path of material rebounding upwards to the top of the compression assembly, thus fundamentally solving the material jamming problem and significantly improving the stability and efficiency of the baler.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A horizontal baling machine includes a frame 1, which provides support for other components in the device. A compression chamber 2 and a feeding chamber 3 are sequentially arranged horizontally within the frame 1. The feeding chamber 3 communicates with the compression chamber 2, allowing materials in the feeding chamber 3 to normally enter the compression chamber 2. A feeding hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding chamber 3 for feeding materials such as sponges and cotton into the feeding chamber 3. A compression assembly 5 is installed inside the feeding chamber 3 to compress the materials into the compression chamber 2.

[0024] It should be added that the end of the compression chamber 2 away from the feed chamber 3 is hinged with a door 8, and an opening cylinder 9 for opening the door 8 is installed on the frame 1. After the material is compressed and packaged, the door 8 can be opened using the opening cylinder 9, and then the packaged material can be pushed out using the compression assembly 5.

[0025] It is worth noting that, due to the high rebound characteristics of materials such as sponge and cotton, traditional horizontal balers often use a two-sided binding method, resulting in a high loft of the finished bale. In this application, several first threading grooves 10 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the compression chamber 2, allowing for threading from top to bottom to bind materials such as sponge and cotton. Several second threading grooves 11 are provided on the front and rear sides of the compression chamber 2, allowing for threading from front to back to bind materials such as sponge and cotton. This design effectively compresses the material's loft space through multi-directional constraint, significantly reducing the loft rate of the finished product. In addition, to further optimize the top and bottom threading operation, the frame 1 can be fixedly mounted at a height such as a staircase (e.g., Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this creates a suspended space below the compression chamber 2, providing ample space for operators to thread wires and greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of wire bundling.

[0026] In this embodiment, the compression assembly 5 includes a pressure plate 501 movably disposed within the feed hopper 3, and a main hydraulic cylinder 502 mounted on the frame 1 to move the pressure plate 501 horizontally. After material is fed into the feed hopper 3 via the feed hopper 4, the main hydraulic cylinder 502 is activated to drive the pressure plate 501 to move towards the compression chamber 2, thereby pushing the material into the compression chamber 2 and compressing the material within the compression chamber 2.

[0027] Because materials such as sponge and cotton have significant rebound force, when the pressure plate 501 pushes the material from the feed hopper 3 to the inlet of the compression chamber 2, the material is prone to rising upwards under the action of the rebound force and accumulating in the gap area between the pressure plate 501 and the inlet of the compression chamber 2. To solve this problem, the following design is proposed:

[0028] A positioning shaft 6, capable of vertical movement, is movably installed inside the feed hopper 4. Two baffles 7 are rotatably connected to the positioning shaft 6, and the two baffles 7 can retract or expand towards each other. When material is fed into the feed hopper 4, the two baffles 7 are in the retracted state (e.g., when material is fed into the feed hopper 4). Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, it is not easy to cause too much interference to the feeding. After the feeding is completed, the two baffles 7 are spread out and moved downward to block the lower port of the feed hopper 4; then the pressure plate 501 is moved towards the compression chamber 2, and the upper end of the pressure plate 501 can be attached to the baffle 7, thereby completely blocking the path of the material rebounding and rising to the top of the pressure plate 501, solving the problem of material jamming from the root, and significantly improving the stability and efficiency of the baler.

[0029] The following describes how the positioning axis 6 moves up and down:

[0030] A mounting base 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the feed hopper 4. A lifting cylinder 13 is mounted on the mounting base 12, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 13 is connected to the positioning shaft 6. The positioning shaft 6 is moved up and down by the lifting cylinder 13.

[0031] Additionally, it should be noted that positioning slide rods 14 are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the baffle 7, and positioning grooves 15 are provided on the inner wall of the feed hopper 4 to slide and engage with each positioning slide rod 14. The positioning grooves 15 include inclined grooves 151 and vertical grooves 152 arranged sequentially from top to bottom; when the positioning slide rod 14 is located at the uppermost end of the inclined groove 151, the two baffles 7 are in a retracted state; when the positioning slide rod 14 is located in the vertical groove 152, the two baffles 7 are in an extended state.

[0032] With the above design, in the initial working state, the positioning slide rod 14 is located at the top of the inclined chute 151, keeping the two baffles 7 in a retracted state. At this time, when materials such as sponges and cotton are fed into the feed hopper 4, the baffles 7 will not obstruct the feeding operation. After feeding is completed, the lifting cylinder 13 is activated, driving the positioning shaft 6 to move vertically downwards, thereby causing the two baffles 7 to descend synchronously. During the descent, the positioning slide rod 14 slides along the inclined chute 151 into the vertical chute 152. As the trajectory of the positioning slide rod 14 changes, the baffles 7 rotate and unfold to a horizontal position around the positioning shaft 6. The fully unfolded baffles 7 continue to move downwards along the vertical chute 152, blocking the lower end of the feed hopper 4 and forming a stable blocking structure.

[0033] Subsequently, the main hydraulic cylinder 502 is activated to drive the pressure plate 501 towards the compression chamber 2. Because the upper surface of the pressure plate 501 is tightly fitted with the horizontal baffle 7, forming a complete material pushing surface, the material, when compressed, cannot rebound upwards above the pressure plate 501 due to the obstruction of the baffle 7. Under the continuous pushing of the pressure plate 501, the material is smoothly and completely pushed into the compression chamber 2 for compression processing. After the compression process is completed, the first threading grooves 10 on the upper and lower sides and the second threading grooves 11 on the front and rear sides of the compression chamber 2 are used for multi-dimensional binding operations, effectively reducing the bulkiness of the finished material and completing the packaging process.
