Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural latex mattress production technology, specifically a drying system for a latex mattress production line. Background Technology

[0002] Latex mattresses are made from the sap of rubber trees. Through sophisticated technology and modern equipment, processes such as molding, foaming, gelling, vulcanization, washing, drying, shaping, and packaging are used to produce modern, eco-friendly bedding products with various superior properties suitable for healthy and restful sleep. After production, latex mattresses often have a lot of residue and impurities adhering to their surface, therefore, they need to be cleaned.

[0003] Current cleaning methods involve manually washing latex mattresses in a water tank. After washing, the mattresses undergo multiple mechanical squeezes or large centrifugal dehydrators to remove a significant amount of surface moisture before entering the drying process. The existing drying process has the following drawbacks:

[0004] First, single-sided drying is inefficient. Existing technologies mostly use infrared drying or single-sided hot air jets, requiring the mattress to be flipped multiple times or relying on natural heat conduction, which is time-consuming. Second, single-sided hot air is easily lost from the edge of the mattress, and some hot air is expelled before it even touches the mattress, which is energy waste. In addition, single-sided heating can cause the latex on the side closer to the heat source to harden, while the other side retains moisture, affecting the consistency of the finished product's elasticity.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a drying system for latex mattress production lines to overcome the bottlenecks in existing technologies, such as low efficiency of single-sided drying, energy waste, and impact on finished product quality. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a drying device that enables simultaneous double-sided drying, shortens working time, and has high thermal energy utilization, thus solving the efficiency and quality problems caused by single-sided drying. This utility model provides the following technical solution, including:

[0007] A conveyor line consisting of several conveying rollers has a base frame at its end. The base frame has symmetrical grooves on both sides, and clamping and fixing components are slidably arranged in the grooves. A pull-out plate is slidably arranged above the base frame for placing a latex mattress. Drying components are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the pull-out plate.

[0008] By linking the pull-out plate with the clamping components, the latex mattress is kept in a fixed position during the drying process, avoiding uneven heating due to displacement. At the same time, by adjusting the spacing of the clamping components, it can be adapted to latex mattresses of different thicknesses, improving compatibility.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping and fixing component includes a housing, with rotating rods symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center of the housing cavity, and a rotating block rotatably arranged on the outer side of the rotating rod. One end of the rotating block is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the rotating block is rotatably connected to one end of the top block.

[0010] By using the lever structure of the rotating rod and the rotating block, the pull-out plate can be slid out horizontally, allowing the mattress to be quickly released and clamped, reducing manual operation time.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of a first support rod is symmetrically provided above both ends of the connecting rod, and the other end of the first support rod passes through the housing and is connected to the bottom end of the lower pressure plate. One end of a compression spring is symmetrically provided above both ends of the connecting rod, and the other end of the compression spring is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing.

[0012] By utilizing the elastic deformation of the compression spring, the pressure of the lower pressure plate on the latex mattress is adaptively adjusted to avoid damage to the latex structure due to excessive pressure, while ensuring clamping stability.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom end of the lower pressure plate is provided with one end of a second support rod, which passes through the housing and is connected to one end of a connecting rod. The housing has openings on both sides, and an L-shaped third support rod is slidably arranged in the openings. One end of the third support rod is connected to the middle of the second support rod, and the other end of the third support rod is connected to one end of the upper pressure plate.

[0014] By linking the second and third support rods, the upper and lower pressure plates are driven synchronously to press the latex mattress on both sides, preventing the mattress from deforming due to pressure on one side and improving the uniformity of drying.

[0015] Furthermore, both the upper and lower pressure plates are provided with anti-slip textures.

[0016] The anti-slip texture increases the friction between the pressure plate and the surface of the latex mattress, preventing the latex mattress from sliding or shifting during the drying process and ensuring effective penetration of hot air.

[0017] Furthermore, the drying component includes a fixed plate connected to the base frame, a cooling fan disposed in the middle of the fixed plate, and PTC heating plates disposed around the fixed plate.

[0018] The cooling fan accelerates the circulation of hot air generated by the PTC heating plate, allowing hot air from both sides to penetrate the internal pores of the latex mattress in a convection manner, thereby improving the efficiency of heat energy utilization.

[0019] Furthermore, the pull-out plate is equipped with a handle.

[0020] The pull-out panel can be quickly pushed and pulled by the handle, which facilitates the loading, unloading and maintenance of latex mattresses and improves the ease of operation on the production line.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0022] This invention utilizes a sliding groove clamping and fixing component to achieve adjustable spacing. A pull-out plate allows for quick release of the latex mattress, adapting to mattresses of different sizes and thicknesses. Simultaneously, the mattress's own weight clamps and fixes both sides. The elastic pressing design of compression springs and anti-slip textures ensures mattress fixation while preventing indentations or deformation. Furthermore, symmetrically distributed PTC heating plates and cooling fans ensure simultaneous heating and drying on both sides of the mattress, doubling drying efficiency and reducing heat waste.

[0029] 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.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4The technical solution provided by this utility model is: a drying system for a latex mattress production line, comprising: a conveyor line 1 composed of several conveying rollers, a base frame 2 at the end of the conveyor line 1, symmetrically arranged sliding grooves 3 on both sides of the base frame 2, a clamping and fixing component 4 slidably arranged in the sliding grooves 3, a pull-out plate 5 slidably arranged above the base frame 2, the pull-out plate 5 being used to place a latex mattress 6, and drying components 7 symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the pull-out plate 5.

[0031] By linking the pull-out plate 5 with the clamping components, the latex mattress 6 is kept in a fixed position during the drying process to avoid uneven heating due to displacement. At the same time, by adjusting the spacing of the clamping and fixing components 4, it can be adapted to latex mattresses 6 of different thicknesses, thus improving compatibility.

[0032] In this preferred embodiment, the clamping and fixing component 4 includes a housing 401. Rotating rods 402 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the middle of the inner cavity of the housing 401. A rotating block 403 is rotatably arranged on the outer side of the rotating rod 402. One end of the rotating block 403 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 404, and the other end of the rotating block 403 is rotatably connected to one end of the top block 405. Through the lever structure of the rotating rod 402 and the rotating block 403, the pull-out plate 5 is slidably pulled away horizontally, thereby realizing the rapid release and clamping of the mattress and reducing manual operation time.

[0033] The connecting rod 404 has a first support rod 406 symmetrically arranged above both ends. The other end of the first support rod 406 passes through the housing 401 and is connected to the bottom end of the lower pressure plate 407. The connecting rod 404 has a compression spring 408 symmetrically arranged above both ends. The other end of the compression spring 408 is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 401. The elastic deformation of the compression spring 408 is used to adaptively adjust the pressing force of the lower pressure plate 407 on the latex mattress 6, so as to avoid damage to the latex structure due to excessive pressure, and at the same time ensure the clamping stability.

[0034] The bottom end of the lower pressure plate 407 is also provided with one end of the second support rod 409. The second support rod 409 passes through the housing 401 and is connected to one end of the connecting rod 404. The housing 401 has openings 410 on both sides. An L-shaped third support rod 411 is slidably arranged in the openings 410. One end of the third support rod 411 is connected to the middle of the second support rod 409, and the other end of the third support rod 411 is connected to one end of the upper pressure plate 412. Through the linkage of the second support rod 409 and the third support rod 411, the upper and lower pressure plates 407 are synchronously driven to press the latex mattress 6 on both sides, preventing the latex mattress 6 from deforming due to pressure on one side and improving the uniformity of drying.

[0035] Both the upper pressure plate 412 and the lower pressure plate 407 are provided with anti-slip textures; the anti-slip textures increase the friction between the pressure plate and the surface of the latex mattress 6, preventing the latex mattress 6 from sliding and shifting during the drying process, and ensuring effective penetration of hot air.

[0036] Preferably, the drying component 7 includes a fixed plate 71 connected to the base frame 2, a cooling fan 72 disposed in the middle of the fixed plate 71, and PTC heating plates 73 disposed around the fixed plate 71; the cooling fan 72 accelerates the circulation of hot air generated by the PTC heating plates 73, so that the hot air from both sides penetrates the internal pores of the latex mattress 6 in a convection manner, thereby improving the efficiency of heat energy utilization.

[0037] Preferably, the pull-out plate 5 is provided with a handle 51. The handle 51 enables quick pushing and pulling of the pull-out plate 5, facilitating the loading, unloading, and maintenance of the latex mattress 6, and improving the ease of operation on the production line.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] After dehydration, the latex mattress 6 is conveyed to the end of the conveyor line 1 via the conveyor rollers and moves above the pull-out plate 5. The operator slides the clamping and fixing component 4 to a suitable position through the slide groove 3 and pulls out the pull-out plate 5 through the handle 51. At this time, the latex mattress 6 falls directly onto the lower pressure plate 407, triggering the clamping and fixing component 4: the weight of the latex mattress 6 presses down, driving the first support rod 406 and the rotating rod 402 to move downwards, driving the rotating block 403 to rotate through the connecting rod 404, forming a lever force, driving the top block 405 to move upwards; at the same time, as the second support rod 409 and the third support rod 411 move downwards, they synchronously drive the upper pressure plate 412 to move downwards, so that the upper pressure plate 412 and the lower pressure plate 407 synchronously apply pressure to the latex mattress 6; the compression spring 408 adaptively adjusts the clamping force according to the thickness of the latex mattress 6, and the anti-slip texture increases the friction to prevent the latex mattress 6 from shifting.

[0040] After clamping, the PTC heating plates 73 on the upper and lower sides of the pull-out plate 5 are activated, and the cooling fan 72 drives hot air to penetrate the internal pores of the latex mattress 6; the hot air from the upper and lower sides forms forced convection, and heat penetrates from both sides of the latex mattress 6 simultaneously; after drying, the latex mattress 6 can be lifted upward by a small forklift or manually, and the upper pressure plate 412 and lower pressure plate 407 automatically release the latex mattress 6 and transport it to the next process.

[0041] The parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
