Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of paper thickness detection technology, and in particular to a paper thickness detection device for use in a papermaking workshop. Background Technology

[0002] Paper thickness detection devices used in paper mills are specialized equipment for monitoring the uniformity of paper thickness. They come in contact and non-contact types. Contact types use a mechanical probe combined with a displacement sensor for measurement, offering high accuracy but requiring regular cleaning. Non-contact types include laser, infrared / microwave, and X-ray types, each suitable for specific applications. The use of paper thickness detection devices in the papermaking process is crucial for ensuring quality, stable production, and improved efficiency. It ensures that paper thickness meets standards, preventing uneven thickness from affecting physical properties and usability, preventing defective products from being released, optimizing raw material usage, reducing waste and downtime losses, adapting to the precision requirements of different types of paper, and meeting customized production needs. Furthermore, the recorded data can be used for traceability and process optimization, improving production stability and being vital to product competitiveness and economic efficiency.

[0003] Existing patent CN219064465U discloses a paper thickness detection device for a papermaking workshop. Its technical solution includes: a mounting plate, a sliding rod, and a fixing frame. A thickness detector is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate, a movable sleeve is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the sliding rod, and a detection rod extending into the movable sleeve is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the thickness detector. This invention, through the cooperation of the mounting plate, detection rod, thickness detector, and pressing roller, allows for convenient paper support via the mounting plate, easy paper conveying via the roller, and reduced error through the pressing roller's pressing action. The pressing spring causes the detection rod to move downwards, allowing the pressing roller to contact the paper. The thickness detector then measures the paper thickness, making the device more convenient and easier to operate.

[0004] Problems identified in existing technologies: However, existing technologies have some shortcomings. First, the number of detection axes is fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the number of detection points according to different paper widths. For wider paper, the detection points may not be fully covered, affecting the comprehensiveness of thickness distribution detection. For narrower paper, it will waste detection resources. In addition, the paper may carry detached debris, residual dust, and other impurities. If not handled in time, these impurities may adhere to the paper surface or mix into the detection area, affecting the accuracy of the thickness detection sensor. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a paper thickness detection device for papermaking workshops, characterized in that it includes a support structure, a pretreatment structure, and a detection structure, wherein the pretreatment structure and the detection structure are provided on one side of the support structure, and the support structure is connected to the pretreatment structure and the detection structure by bolts and nuts.

[0006] The support structure consists of fixed legs, a support platform, a conveying assembly, a support plate, a top plate, and a partition plate. The support platform is positioned above the fixed legs and connected to them by bolts and nuts. A conveying assembly is located on one side of the support platform and connected to it via a bracket. A support plate is positioned above the support platform and connected to it by welding. A top plate is positioned above the support plate and connected to it by welding. A partition plate is positioned between the top plate and the support platform, and both the top plate and the support platform are connected to the support plate by welding. A square opening is formed on one side of the partition plate, dividing the interior of the support structure into a pre-treatment area and a testing area. A telescopic gate is located at the square opening of the partition plate, and the gate extends and retracts via a telescopic cylinder A.

[0007] The pretreatment structure consists of a telescopic cylinder B, a pressure plate, a rubber protective sleeve, a paper scrap vacuum cleaner, and a collection box. The pressure plate is located below the telescopic cylinder B, and the telescopic cylinder B is connected to the pressure plate. A rubber protective sleeve is located on one side of the pressure plate, and the pressure plate and the rubber protective sleeve are connected by adhesive. The paper scrap vacuum cleaner is located on one side of the support plate, and the support plate and the paper scrap vacuum cleaner are connected by bolts and nuts. The paper scrap vacuum cleaner is connected to the collection box via a pipe. The paper scrap vacuum cleaner consists of a power system, a filtration system, a suction and conveying system, an operation control system, and auxiliary components. The power system includes a motor and a coaxial fan to provide suction. The filtration system includes a dust collection device and a filter. The suction and conveying system includes a nozzle, a connecting pipe, and an air duct. The operation control system includes a switch, a speed controller, and a power cord. The machine body includes a casing, rollers, etc. The nozzle is connected to the air duct via a connecting pipe, forming a closed airflow channel. The dust collection device is sealed to the air duct and the fan. The motor is rigidly connected to the fan, and the motor is connected to the switch and power supply via wires.

[0008] The detection structure consists of a telescopic rod, a mounting frame, and a detection component. The mounting frame is positioned above the telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod is connected to the mounting frame via bolts and nuts. The detection component is mounted on the mounting frame. The telescopic rod is electrically operated. The detection component consists of upper / lower probes, a position sensor, and a signal processing module. The upper probe is connected to the mounting frame, and the lower probe is fixed to the support platform and coaxial with the upper probe. The position sensor is connected to the signal processing module.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] This invention improves the support structure, which consists of fixed legs, a support platform, a conveying assembly, a support plate, a top plate, and a partition plate. The bolted connection between the fixed legs and the support platform ensures the stability of the support platform, reduces errors caused by vibration during testing, and facilitates later maintenance or component replacement. The partition plate divides the interior of the support structure into a pre-treatment area and a testing area, enabling the orderly separation of paper preparations such as cleaning and flattening with formal testing. This avoids impurities and operational interference during pre-treatment affecting the test results, improving testing efficiency. The square holes and telescopic gate design on the partition plate, controlled by a telescopic cylinder A, ensures that the pre-treated paper can smoothly enter the testing area and closes the holes during testing, forming a relatively independent testing space. This reduces interference from the external environment and facilitates integration with automated control processes. The conveying assembly can be directly integrated into the support structure, enabling automatic paper transfer between the pre-treatment and testing areas without the need for additional conveying supports. This saves space while ensuring the stability of the paper conveying path and avoiding testing position deviations caused by conveying offsets, making it suitable for automated production processes in paper mills.

[0011] This invention improves the pretreatment structure, which consists of a telescopic cylinder B, a pressure plate, a rubber protective sleeve, a paper scrap vacuum cleaner, and a collection box. The telescopic cylinder B drives the pressure plate to achieve precise up-and-down movement, applying stable pressure to flatten the paper. A pressure sensor is embedded in the pressure plate to prevent paper deformation due to excessive pressure, which could affect detection accuracy, and to prevent errors due to insufficient contact caused by insufficient pressure. It effectively eliminates problems such as wrinkles and curling caused by paper transportation and stacking. The flattened paper has a more uniform thickness distribution, avoiding deviations in thickness detection data caused by irregular paper shape, and providing a more reliable basis for subsequent detection. The rubber protective sleeve, which is attached to one side of the pressure plate by adhesive, is soft and elastic, and can buffer pressure when in contact with the paper, preventing damage, indentation, or tearing of the paper edges due to direct contact with the hard pressure plate. It is especially suitable for processing thin and easily damaged paper, reducing material loss during the detection process and lowering production costs. The paper scrap vacuum cleaner fixed on the support plate can promptly absorb the paper scraps and dust residue that fall off during the paper pretreatment process, preventing paper scraps from adhering to the paper surface or mixing into the detection area, thus preventing impurities from affecting the accuracy of the thickness detection sensor. The vacuum cleaner is connected to the collection box, which can collect the absorbed paper scraps and dust in a concentrated manner, making it easy to clean regularly.

[0012] This invention improves the detection structure, which consists of a telescopic rod, a mounting frame, and detection components. The telescopic rod can freely extend and retract in length, and combined with the multiple installation functions of the mounting frame, it can easily adapt to papers of different widths and thicknesses. Whether it is narrow specialty paper or wide packaging paper, the detection components can be accurately aligned with any detection point on the paper, such as the edge or the center, avoiding the failure of the detection device due to changes in paper specifications.
