Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to material processing technology, specifically to a semi-automatic embossing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In modern construction engineering, the quality and stability of building exterior walls are directly related to the service life and safety of the entire building. Galvanized steel wire mesh, as an important auxiliary material for building exterior walls, provides a rough interface through its mesh structure. When mortar or paint is applied to the exterior wall, this rough interface increases the contact area between the mortar or paint and the wall surface, thereby enhancing their adhesion. This strong adhesion can effectively prevent the exterior wall from becoming hollow. Galvanized steel wire mesh can also disperse the stress borne by the exterior wall. When the exterior wall is subjected to stress due to external factors (such as temperature changes, earthquakes, etc.), the wire mesh can evenly disperse the stress, avoiding local stress concentration that could lead to cracking of the plaster layer. To better utilize galvanized wire mesh in building exterior wall construction, it typically undergoes an embossing process before use. Embossing involves pressing indentations into the mesh surface and then painting the indentations with a bright, visible paint. These indentations serve a crucial purpose: they provide a clear marker for workers to accurately nail the wire mesh to the wall. During construction, workers can use the position and spacing of the indentations to position and secure the mesh, ensuring its flatness and stability. The paint further enhances the visibility of the indentations, especially in low-light or complex environments, helping workers quickly and accurately identify their location, thus improving construction efficiency and quality.

[0003] Currently, there are some devices on the market for embossing wire mesh. These devices can achieve the functions of embossing and painting wire mesh to a certain extent. However, in the existing embossing machine operation process, after the wire mesh is embossed and painted, it is wound up on the take-up roller. After a roll of wire mesh is embossed, it needs to be manually removed from the embossing machine. This process not only requires a lot of effort, but also has cumbersome operation steps. Manual unloading will also seriously affect production efficiency. In large-scale building exterior wall material production enterprises, a large number of galvanized wire meshes need to be processed every day. If each roll of wire mesh needs to be unloaded manually, a lot of time will be spent on the unloading process, resulting in a reduction in the overall operating time of the equipment and a decrease in production capacity. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a semi-automatic embossing machine, comprising:

[0006] A workbench is provided, with a raw material rack connected to one side. A raw material roller is movably mounted on the raw material rack to carry untreated wire mesh. An embossing roller No. 1 and an embossing roller No. 2 are movably mounted on the other side of the workbench. A collection trough is provided on one side of the workbench, with a paint tank fixedly mounted at the top of the collection trough. The paint tank is used to store paint, and a paint roller is movably mounted on one side of the paint tank. A drive frame is provided on one side of the collection trough, and a winding roller is movably mounted on one side of the drive frame to wind up the treated wire mesh.

[0007] The feeding mechanism is located on one side of the drive frame. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame that is movably installed on one side of the drive frame. A second drive component is provided at the bottom of the feeding frame. A gear is movably connected to the second drive component. A rack is provided on one side of the feeding frame. The gear meshes with the rack. A feeding frame is fixedly installed at the top of the feeding frame. The feeding frame is located outside the take-up roller.

[0008] Furthermore, a No. 1 rotating shaft is movably mounted on the side of the workbench near the raw material rack via a bearing, a No. 2 rotating shaft is movably mounted on the top of the workbench via a bearing, a No. 3 rotating shaft is movably mounted on the top of the workbench away from the No. 1 rotating shaft via a bearing, and two support plates are fixedly mounted on the side of the workbench near the No. 3 rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, both the No. 1 embossing roller and the No. 2 embossing roller are movably mounted between two support plates via bearings. The No. 1 embossing roller has several grooves on its outer side, and the No. 2 embossing roller has several protrusions on its outer side. The protrusions are positioned corresponding to the grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the collection trough is located on the side of the workbench near the second embossing roller, the paint roller is movably mounted on the top of the paint trough via bearings, and several paint trays are fixedly installed on the outside of the paint roller, with the paint trays corresponding to the convex discs.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive frame is fixedly installed on the ground by bolts, and two supports are fixedly installed on the top of the drive frame. A drive shaft is movably installed between the two supports. The take-up roller is movably installed on the side of the support away from the drive shaft through a bearing. The take-up roller is shaft-driven connected to the drive shaft. A driven sprocket is fixedly installed at one end of the drive shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, a first driving component is provided at the bottom of the drive frame. The first driving component is mounted on the ground via a fixed base. The output end of the first driving component is connected to a drive sprocket via a coupling. The positions of the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket are correspondingly arranged, and a chain is meshed between the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket.

[0013] Furthermore, a track is provided on one side of the unloading rack, and there are two tracks in total. The tracks are fixedly installed on the ground.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] This utility model provides a semi-automatic embossing machine, comprising:

[0028] A workbench 1 is provided. A raw material rack 11 is connected to one side of the workbench 1. A raw material roller 12 is movably installed on the raw material rack 11. The raw material roller 12 is used to carry untreated wire mesh. A first embossing roller 17 and a second embossing roller 18 are movably installed on the other side of the workbench 1. A collection trough 111 is provided on one side of the workbench 1. A paint trough 112 is fixedly installed at the top of the collection trough 111. The paint trough 112 is used to store paint. A paint roller 113 is movably installed on one side of the paint trough 112. A drive frame 115 is provided on one side of the collection trough 111. A winding roller 118 is movably installed on one side of the drive frame 115. The winding roller 118 is used to wind up the treated wire mesh.

[0029] The feeding mechanism 2 is located on one side of the drive frame 115. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding frame 21 that is movably installed on one side of the drive frame 115. A second drive component 26 is provided at the bottom of the feeding frame 21. A gear 27 is movably connected to the second drive component 26. A rack 24 is provided on one side of the feeding frame 21. The gear 27 meshes with the rack 24. A feeding frame 29 is fixedly installed at the top of the feeding frame 21. The feeding frame 29 is located outside the winding roller 118.

[0030] Specifically, a first rotating shaft 13 is movably mounted on the side of the workbench 1 near the raw material rack 11 via a bearing. A second rotating shaft 14 is movably mounted on the top of the workbench 1 via a bearing. A third rotating shaft 15 is movably mounted on the top of the workbench 1 away from the first rotating shaft 13 via a bearing. Two support plates 16 are fixedly mounted on the side of the workbench 1 near the third rotating shaft 15. The first embossing roller 17 and the second embossing roller 18 are both movably mounted between the two support plates 16 via bearings. Several grooves 19 are opened on the outer side of the first embossing roller 17. Several convex plates 110 are provided on the outer side of the second embossing roller 18. The convex plates 110 are positioned corresponding to the grooves 19. A collection trough 111 is located on the side of the workbench 1 near the second embossing roller 18. A paint roller 113 is movably mounted on the top of the paint tank 112 via a bearing. Several paint trays 114 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the paint roller 113. The paint trays 114 are positioned corresponding to the convex plates 110.

[0031] As can be seen from the above, the raw material roller 12 is equipped with a limiting mechanism on the raw material rack 11, so that the raw material roller 12 can only rotate on the raw material rack 11 and will not detach. When the equipment is started, the traction force of the take-up roller 118 drives the wire mesh to unfold from the raw material roller 12, realizing continuous feeding. The first rotating shaft 13 and the second rotating shaft 14 are in contact with the bottom of the wire mesh, and their function is to support the wire mesh. The third rotating shaft 15 is in contact with the top of the wire mesh. The purpose of the three rotating shafts is to reduce the bending deformation of the wire mesh during long-distance transportation and ensure that the wire mesh enters smoothly between the two embossing rollers. The first embossing roller 17 has an annular groove 19 on its outer circumference, and the second embossing roller 18 has a corresponding convex plate 110. When the two embossing rollers rotate relative to each other, the convex plate 110 is embedded in the groove 19, and the convex plate 110 is inserted into the gap between them. Local pressure is applied to the wire mesh to create grooves (i.e., indentations). The spacing between the embossing rollers can be finely adjusted by adjusting the screw (not shown in the figure) to accommodate wire meshes of different thicknesses, ensuring clear indentations without damaging the mesh. The collection trough 111 is installed on the ground to prevent the wire mesh passing above from dripping paint onto the ground. The paint trough 112 contains paint, and the paint roller 113 is partially immersed in the paint. As it rotates with the drive motor (used to drive the paint roller 113 to rotate, not shown in the figure), the paint adheres to its outer circumference. The paint tray 114 is fixed on the paint roller 113, and its position corresponds one-to-one with the indentations of the embossing rollers. When the wire mesh passes over the paint tray 114, the paint tray 114 contacts the indentation area, transferring the paint into the indentation to achieve precise coloring.

[0032] Specifically, the drive frame 115 is fixedly installed on the ground by bolts. Two supports 116 are fixedly installed on the top of the drive frame 115. A drive shaft 117 is movably installed between the two supports 116. The take-up roller 118 is movably installed on the support 116 away from the drive shaft 117 via bearings. The take-up roller 118 is shaft-driven connected to the drive shaft 117. A driven sprocket 119 is fixedly installed at one end of the drive shaft 117. A first drive component 120 is provided at the bottom of the drive frame 115. The first drive component 120 is installed on the ground by a fixed seat. The output end of the first drive component 120 is driven by a coupling and connected to a drive sprocket 121. The positions of the drive sprocket 121 and the driven sprocket 119 are correspondingly set. A chain 122 is meshed between the drive sprocket 121 and the driven sprocket 119.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, the drive frame 115 is installed on the ground, and a support 116 is set at its top. The drive shaft 117 is movably installed between the supports 116. The drive shaft 117 is used to drive the take-up roller 118 to rotate, so as to evenly wind the processed wire mesh into a roll. One end of the drive shaft 117 is connected to the driven sprocket 119. A first drive component 120 is set on the ground. In this embodiment, the first drive component 120 is a servo motor. The first drive component 120 drives the driven sprocket 119 to rotate through the active sprocket 121 and the chain 122, thereby driving the take-up roller 118 to rotate.

[0034] Working principle: The un-indented wire mesh is placed on the raw material roller 12. The grooves 19 of the first embossing roller 17 and the second embossing roller 18 are checked to ensure they correspond to the convex disc 110. The distance between them is adjusted to a suitable position to ensure effective indentation of the wire mesh. An appropriate amount of paint is added to the paint tank 112, ensuring that the paint roller 113 and paint tray 114 can properly pick up the paint. The wire mesh is pulled out and pressed onto the rotating shaft on the worktable 1. Then, it is passed between the first embossing roller 17 and the second embossing roller 18, so that the end of the wire mesh is inserted into the groove of the take-up roller 118. The first drive unit 120 is activated, driving the take-up roller 118 to rotate. Due to the rotation and compression of the two embossing rollers, a distinct indentation is formed on the surface of the wire mesh. After passing through the embossing roller, the wire mesh crosses the top of the paint trough 112. At this time, the paint roller 113 rotates automatically under the action of the drive motor, driving the paint tray 114 to rotate and apply paint to the wire mesh. Since the paint tray 114 is set to correspond to the embossing groove of the wire mesh, the paint tray 114 accurately brushes the paint onto the embossing groove during the movement of the wire mesh, completing the painting operation. The painted wire mesh continues to move and reaches the position of the take-up roller 118. The take-up roller 118 rotates under the drive of the first drive component 120, wrapping the embossed and painted wire mesh around the outside of the take-up roller 118 to realize the take-up operation. During the take-up process, the equipment continuously embosses and paints the wire mesh to ensure the continuity and stability of the entire take-up process.

[0035] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 and appendix Figure 4 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] A track 22 is provided on one side of the unloading rack 21. There are two tracks 22. The track 22 is fixedly installed on the ground. Track wheels 23 are movably installed at the bottom of the unloading rack 21. Track wheels 23 roll with the track 22. A rack 24 is fixedly installed on the ground. A partition 25 is fixedly installed inside the unloading rack 21. The second drive component 26 is installed on one side of the partition 25 through a fixed seat. The output end of the second drive component 26 is connected to a gear 27 through a coupling.

[0038] Specifically, a baffle strip 28 is fixedly installed inside the unloading rack 21, and a positioning plate 210 is fixedly installed on the top of the unloading rack 21 away from the unloading frame 29. A positioning hole 211 is opened at the center of the positioning plate 210, and a positioning shaft 212 is fixedly installed at one end of the winding roller 118. The positioning shaft 212 is inserted into the positioning hole 211.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, the unloading frame 21 moves above the track 22 via the bottom track wheel 23. In this embodiment, the second drive component 26 is a dual-axis motor with gears 27 connected to both sides. Since the gears 27 mesh with the rack 24, when the second drive component 26 drives the gears 27 to rotate, the overall structure will move along the direction of the track 22, realizing the movement of the overall structure. The unloading frame 29 is set on the outside of the winding roller 118. When the unloading frame 29 moves with the unloading frame 21, it will push the wound wire roll off the outside of the winding roller 118 to complete the automatic unloading. The pushed-off wire roll will fall above the stop bar 28. The positioning plate 210 has a positioning hole 211. During normal winding, the positioning shaft 212 on one side of the winding roller 118 will be inserted into the positioning hole 211 to provide radial support for the winding roller 118 and ensure its rotational stability.

[0040] Working principle: After winding is completed, the equipment stops running and the second drive unit 26 is started. The second drive unit 26 drives the gears 27 on both sides to rotate. The gears 27 mesh with the rack 24 on the ground, which drives the unloading frame 21 to move forward along the track 22. During the movement, the positioning plate 210 gradually disengages from the positioning shaft 212 at the end of the winding roller 118. When the unloading frame 29 moves to the appropriate position, the unloading frame 29 pulls the wound wire mesh down axially from the outside of the winding roller 118. The rolled wire mesh falls into the unloading frame 21, completing the automatic unloading operation.

[0041] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
