Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corrugated cardboard production and processing technology, and in particular to an integrated machine for flattening and drying corrugated paper cores. Background Technology

[0002] The corrugated core is the core structure of corrugated cardboard. Its corrugated core layer, combined with the top and bottom linerboards, forms a packaging material with high strength and cushioning properties, widely used in logistics and transportation. In the processing of the corrugated core, flattening and drying are two key steps: flattening smooths the corrugated core layer, facilitating subsequent bonding with the linerboard or further processing; drying removes moisture from the core, ensuring its physical strength and dimensional stability.

[0003] Currently, traditional corrugated paper core processing equipment typically separates the flattening and drying processes, requiring independent flattening and drying devices. This not only occupies a large space, consumes a lot of energy, and involves cumbersome procedures, but also makes it difficult to accurately control the pressure of a separate flattening device, easily resulting in poor flattening effect of the corrugated paper core. A single drying device cannot guarantee the uniformity of drying, leading to over-drying and under-drying of some parts of the corrugated paper core, affecting product quality. Therefore, we have proposed an integrated flattening and drying machine for corrugated paper cores to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings in the above-mentioned background technology and propose an integrated machine for flattening and drying corrugated paper cores.

A support plate is fixedly installed on the top of the processing platform, and a pressing and drying mechanism is provided on the support plate.

[0007] The pressing and drying mechanism includes a T-shaped rod fixedly installed on the top of the support plate. A lifting plate is slidably connected to the outer side wall of multiple T-shaped rods. A return spring is sleeved on the outer side wall of the T-shaped rod. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the gantry frame. The piston end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate. Fixing grooves are opened on the top of the processing platform and the bottom of the lifting plate.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 The corrugated paper core flattening and drying integrated machine includes a processing platform 1 and a gantry frame 2 fixedly installed on the top of the processing platform 1. A support plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the processing platform 1, and a pressing and drying mechanism is set on the support plate 3. The pressing and drying mechanism includes T-shaped rods 4 fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 3. Multiple T-shaped rods 4 are slidably connected to the same lifting plate 5 on their outer side walls. A return spring 6 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the T-shaped rods 4. A cylinder 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the gantry frame 2. The piston end of the cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 5. Fixed grooves 8 are opened on the top of the processing platform 1 and the bottom of the lifting plate 5. An upper corrugated flattening alloy template 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the upper fixed groove 8, and a lower corrugated flattening alloy template 10 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the lower fixed groove 8. An electric heating wire 11 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the fixed groove 8.

[0023] To further explain, by setting a fixing groove 8 at the top of the processing platform 1 and the bottom of the lifting plate 5, respectively equipped with an upper corrugated flattening alloy template 9 and a lower corrugated flattening alloy template 10, and by providing an electric heating wire 11 in the fixing groove 8, the drying operation can be achieved while the corrugated paper core is flattened.

[0024] To further explain, the design of the upper corrugated flattening alloy template 9 and the lower corrugated flattening alloy template 10 can precisely adapt to the waveform structure of the corrugated paper core. During the flattening process, it ensures that every part of the corrugated paper core receives uniform and appropriate pressure, guaranteeing a high standard of flatness and effectively avoiding localized deformation or incomplete flattening caused by uneven pressure.

[0025] To further explain, the structure of the T-shaped rod 4, the return spring 6, and the lifting plate 5 allows the lifting plate 5 to move flexibly under the drive of the cylinder 7, which facilitates precise adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower corrugated flattening alloy templates 10 when processing corrugated paper cores of different thicknesses. At the same time, the return spring 6 can assist the lifting plate 5 to quickly return to its original position after the flattening operation, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the gantry frame 2 has an inlet 12 and an outlet 13 on its outer side wall.

[0027] To further explain, this design allows corrugated paper cores to enter and exit the equipment conveniently and quickly. The feed port 12 can be smoothly connected to upstream production equipment or conveying devices to achieve automated feeding, while the discharge port 13 can efficiently output the processed corrugated paper cores to the downstream process. The entire production process can be carried out continuously, reducing manual intervention, improving the degree of automation and continuity of production, thereby improving overall production efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the top of the lifting plate 5 has multiple sliding holes, and the outer wall of the T-shaped rod 4 on the same side and the inner wall of the sliding hole are slidably connected.

[0029] To further explain, this design provides a stable guiding effect for the lifting movement of the lifting plate 5.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the return spring 6 are fixed to the top of the support plate 3 and the bottom of the lifting plate 5, respectively.

[0031] To further explain, the return spring 6 plays a dual role of buffering and assisting in the reset. When the cylinder 7 drives the lifting plate 5 to press down for the flattening operation, the return spring 6 can buffer part of the pressure to prevent damage to the equipment and corrugated paper core caused by excessive pressure at one moment. After the flattening operation is completed, the return spring 6 releases its elastic potential energy to assist the lifting plate 5 to quickly reset upward, reducing the time of a single working cycle of the equipment and improving the working efficiency of the equipment.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple heating holes 14 are provided on the outer walls of both the upper corrugated flattening alloy template 9 and the lower corrugated flattening alloy template 10.

[0033] To further explain, this design increases the contact area between the heat generated by the electric heating wire 11 and the template, allowing the template to be heated more quickly and evenly, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the corrugated paper core. On the other hand, the presence of the heating hole 14 allows the heat to be transferred more precisely to all parts of the corrugated paper core, especially the surface of the corrugated paper core near the template, ensuring the uniformity of the drying effect and reducing drying quality problems caused by uneven local heating.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper corrugated flattening alloy template 9 and the lower corrugated flattening alloy template 10 are engaged.

[0035] To further explain, during the flattening process, the two can work together closely like gears meshing. When the corrugated paper core is placed between the two, the meshing structure can apply more precise and detailed squeezing force to the wave portion of the corrugated paper core, further improving the flattening accuracy of the corrugated paper core. This makes the peaks and troughs of the corrugated paper core more neat and uniform after flattening, thus improving the flatness of the corrugated paper core and the product quality.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a limiting mechanism is provided on the top of the lifting plate 5. The limiting mechanism includes two limiting rods 15 fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate 5. Two limiting holes 16 are opened on the top of the gantry frame 2. The outer side wall of the limiting rod 15 on the same side and the inner side wall of the limiting hole 16 are slidably connected.

[0037] To further explain, the limiting mechanism can precisely limit the lifting stroke of the lifting plate 5, preventing the lifting plate 5 from rising or falling excessively due to cylinder 7 malfunction or other reasons, which could damage the equipment. At the same time, the cooperation between the limiting rod 15 and the limiting hole 16 further enhances the stability of the lifting plate 5 during movement, ensuring the accuracy of the flattening operation and the safety of the equipment operation.

[0038] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0039] Turn on the power to the equipment: Connect the power supply to cylinder 7 and electric heating wire 11 to ensure that all components of the equipment are powered on and ready to operate.

[0040] Adjust equipment parameters: Based on the material, thickness and other characteristics of the corrugated paper core to be processed, set appropriate parameters such as temperature, pressure and cylinder 7 lifting stroke on the control panel. For example, for thicker corrugated paper cores, appropriately increase the heating temperature of the electric heating wire 11 to ensure the drying effect; at the same time, increase the downward pressure of cylinder 7 to ensure effective flattening.

[0041] Start the device: The status of the device is as follows Figure 1 As shown, first turn on the power of the electric heating wire 11 to preheat the upper corrugated flattening alloy template 9 and the lower corrugated flattening alloy template 10. Then, start the piston end extension of the cylinder 7, and the cylinder 7 at the top of the gantry 2 will start working, driving the lifting plate 5 to move downward along the T-shaped rod 4.

[0042] Placing the corrugated paper core: When the lifting plate 5 descends to a suitable height, that is, when the distance between the upper corrugated flattening alloy template 9 and the lower corrugated flattening alloy template 10 is slightly greater than the thickness of the corrugated paper core, the corrugated paper core to be processed is placed smoothly on the lower corrugated flattening alloy template 10 through the feed port 12 on the outer wall of the gantry frame 2. When placing it, attention should be paid to the position of the corrugated paper core to ensure that its center is roughly aligned with the center of the template to avoid displacement during the flattening process.

[0043] Flattening and drying operations: After the corrugated paper core is placed, the cylinder 7 continues to drive the lifting plate 5 downward, so that the upper corrugated flattening alloy template 9 gradually approaches and presses the corrugated paper core. At the same time as flattening, the electric heating wire 11 on the inner wall of the fixing groove 8 starts to work, heating and drying the corrugated paper core. Throughout the process, the equipment will continue to operate according to the preset temperature and pressure parameters to ensure that the corrugated paper core is fully flattened and dried.

[0044] Complete the operation and remove the finished product: When the equipment runs for the preset time and completes the flattening and drying operations, the cylinder 7 drives the lifting plate 5 to rise and reset. At this time, the processed corrugated paper core is removed from the equipment through the discharge port 13 on the outer wall of the gantry frame 2. During the removal process, handle with care to avoid scalding or damaging the finished product.

[0045] Shutting down the equipment: After completing all processing tasks for the day, press the stop button on the control panel to turn off the equipment power. If the equipment will not be used for a long time, the main power switch should also be turned off, and the equipment should be cleaned and maintained as necessary to ensure that the equipment is in good standby condition.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
