Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleanroom cloth cotton swab processing technology, and more specifically, to a cutting device for cotton swab processing. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the swab handles of cleanroom wipes are mass-produced using injection molding. After the swab handles are produced, they are hot-pressed with polyester cleanroom wipes at a temperature of 180-220℃. This ensures a strong connection between the swab handles and the cleanroom wipes while maintaining high cleanliness, eliminating the need for adhesive bonding.
[0003] After the batch hot-pressing of the cleanroom cloth and the swab stick is completed, the swab stick needs to be separated from the scrap material at the end. Currently, this is done manually by cutting with tools to separate them one by one. This is labor-intensive, and the swabs are prone to shifting during the cutting process, resulting in large cutting errors. In summary, the cutting process of swabs needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to propose a cutting device for cotton swab processing.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0006] A cutting device for cotton swab processing includes a processing table, a placement table, a placement groove, a mounting frame, a telescopic cylinder, a mounting plate, a rubber block, a laser cutting component, and a waste bin.
[0007] The placement table and mounting frame are both set on the processing table, and the placement table has placement slots that correspond one-to-one with several cotton swabs after the heat-pressed dust-free cloth, and the length of the swab rod accommodating area of the placement slot is less than the length of the cotton swab rod.
[0008] The telescopic cylinder is fixed on the mounting frame and is connected to a mounting plate;
[0009] Several rubber blocks, each corresponding to a placement slot and capable of entering the placement slot, are fixed on the mounting plate.
[0010] A laser cutting component capable of reciprocating motion is mounted on a mounting bracket;
[0011] The waste bin is placed on the processing table.
[0012] Furthermore, the laser cutting assembly includes a lead screw structure, a mounting rod, and a fiber laser.
[0013] The lead screw structure is mounted on the mounting bracket;
[0014] The mounting rod is connected to the lead screw structure, and a fiber laser is installed on the mounting rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is provided with a ceramic plate located below the laser cutting area of the cotton swab.
[0016] Furthermore, a rotating roller is rotatably connected to the processing table, the rotating roller is connected to a frustum and the rotating roller is connected to a gear transmission assembly fixed on the processing table, and four placement tables are fixed on the processing table.
[0017] Furthermore, the ceramic plate is provided with an electric push rod initially away from the laser reciprocating cutting area, and the electric push rod is connected to a pusher plate to transfer the scrap material accumulated on the ceramic plate to the waste bin.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] Compared to existing technologies, this application only requires manual material handling to automatically complete the automatic cutting and separation process of batch cotton swab sticks and scraps after hot pressing. At the same time, the position of the cotton swabs is limited during the cutting process to prevent deviation. Consequently, the length and effect of the cut sticks tend to be consistent without significant deviation, thus improving the cotton swab cutting process. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a cutting device for cotton swab processing includes a processing table 1, a placement table 2, a placement groove 3, a mounting frame 4, a telescopic cylinder 5, a mounting plate 6, a rubber block 7, a laser cutting component, and a waste bin 8.
[0029] The placement table 2 and the mounting frame 4 are both set on the processing table 1, and the placement table 2 has a placement groove 3 that corresponds to a number of cotton swabs after the heat-pressed dust-free cloth. The length of the swab rod accommodating area of the placement groove 3 is less than the length of the cotton swab rod.
[0030] The telescopic cylinder 5 is fixed on the mounting bracket 4, and the telescopic cylinder 5 is connected to the mounting plate 6;
[0031] Several rubber blocks 7, which correspond one-to-one with the placement slots 3 and can enter the placement slots 3, are fixed on the mounting plate 6;
[0032] A laser cutting component capable of reciprocating motion is mounted on mounting bracket 4;
[0033] Waste bin 8 is placed on processing table 1.
[0034] Specific implementation of the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the laser cutting assembly includes a lead screw structure 9, a mounting rod 10, and a fiber laser 11.
[0035] The lead screw structure 9 is mounted on the mounting bracket 4 (the lead screw structure 9 is based on existing technology and will not be described in detail);
[0036] The mounting rod 10 is connected to the lead screw structure 9, and a fiber laser 11 is mounted on the mounting rod 10 (the fiber laser 11 is based on existing technology and will not be described in detail).
[0037] To avoid damage to the processing table 1 and waste bin 8 during the reciprocating laser cutting process, further optimizations to the above embodiments are made, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 4 is equipped with a ceramic plate 12 located below the laser cutting area of the cotton swab.
[0038] The working process of this utility model:
[0039] First, place the cotton swabs that have been hot-pressed in batches and whose swab sticks have not been separated from the scraps into the placement groove 3. During the placement process, one end of the lint-free cloth of the cotton swab is attached to one end of the placement groove 3, and the scrap end of the cotton swab extends beyond the placement groove 3.
[0040] Then, the telescopic cylinder 5 is controlled by the controller to move the mounting plate 6 downward (the downward movement distance is preset in the controller). Then, several rubber blocks 7 are simultaneously placed into several placement slots 3 to limit the position of the cotton swabs and prevent subsequent positional deviation. Then, the fiber laser 11 and the lead screw structure 9 are controlled by the controller to move the fiber laser 11 back and forth (the movement distance range of the lead screw structure 9 is preset). In this way, the sticks of several cotton swabs are separated from the injection molding scraps one by one. Then, the scraps fall onto the ceramic plate 12. The ceramic plate 12 acts as a sacrificial layer to intercept the reflected laser and splashes, reducing the probability of other objects being damaged by the laser.
[0041] After the cutting process of a batch of cotton swabs is completed, the scraps on the ceramic plate 12 are manually unloaded and transferred to the waste bin 8 for collection. After collection, a new round of cotton swab cutting process can begin so that the cotton swab sticks formed by hot pressing are automatically cut and separated from the scraps.
[0042] To reduce the safety risks of manually approaching the laser-cutting area to handle cotton swabs, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a rotating roller 13 is rotatably connected to the processing table 1 via bearings. The rotating roller 13 is connected to a frustum 14 and is connected to a gear transmission assembly 15 fixed on the processing table 1 (the gear transmission assembly 15 is a prior art and its working principle will not be described; it specifically includes a servo motor, a main gear, and a secondary gear). Four placement platforms 2 are fixed on the processing table 1. In this embodiment, each time the gear transmission assembly 15 operates, one of the placement platforms 2, along with a batch of cotton swabs, moves to the position directly below the mounting plate 6 (the rotation is performed at a uniform speed, so the cotton swabs will not move after being placed). Then, a laser cutting process can be carried out. The loading and unloading of cotton swabs can be carried out at other workstations far away from the laser cutting area, thus significantly reducing the safety hazards during the loading and unloading process.
[0043] Based on this, in order to automatically transfer and collect the scrap material accumulated on the ceramic plate 12 into the waste bin 8, such as... Figure 5 As shown, an electric push rod 16 is initially positioned away from the laser reciprocating cutting area on the ceramic plate 12, and the electric push rod 16 is connected to a pusher plate 17.
[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
