Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foam board technology, and in particular to an EPE foam board that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] EPE (expandable polyethylene) foam board is a lightweight, environmentally friendly polymer material with excellent cushioning properties. It is widely used in the packaging and transportation of electronic products, precision instruments, furniture, home appliances, handicrafts, and other products. Its soft and elastic texture, along with good shock absorption, heat insulation, sound insulation, and waterproofing properties, makes it irreplaceable in modern industry and logistics.

[0003] Specifically, existing EPE foam boards face prominent problems in practical applications, such as inconvenient installation, low unfolding efficiency, and easy curling and deformation. Taking a punching device for EPE pearl cotton foam boards disclosed in utility model patent CN215149761U as an example, the device includes components such as a worktable, electric push rod, limiting groove, limiting plate, electric rotating rod, fixing plate, support plate, connecting platform, and hydraulic cylinder. By adjusting the position of the positioning plate, multiple punching heads can be installed in the same translation groove, thereby realizing multi-hole synchronous processing and effectively improving punching efficiency.

[0004] However, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings in the installation and laying of foam boards: Traditional EPE foam boards are typically stored and transported in rolls, but lack convenient unfolding mechanisms or auxiliary installation structures in actual use. This necessitates repeated manual stretching and straightening before laying, fixing, or cutting, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to causing the foam board edges to curl, wrinkle, or even tear, severely affecting its flatness and performance. Furthermore, for large-area installation scenarios, such as warehouse floor protection or equipment bottom isolation, traditional foam boards are difficult to quickly unfold and stably adhere to the ground or support surface, further reducing construction efficiency and overall packaging quality. Therefore, to address these shortcomings of existing technologies, we urgently need an innovative EPE foam board structure to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 .

[0023] An easy-to-install EPE foam board includes a frame 1, and sliding frames 2 are slidably connected to both sides of the bottom of the frame 1, and a top frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1.

[0024] A bearing rod 20 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the top frame 5, and a roll material sleeve 16 is slidably connected to the bearing rod 20. A second motor 13 is bolted to one side of the outer wall of the top frame 5. One end of the bearing rod 20 passes through the side wall of the top frame 5 and is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 13 for transmission. A side frame 6 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the top frame 5, and a winding rod 7 is bolted to one side of the outer wall of the side frame 6. A first motor 9 is bolted to one side of the outer wall of the side frame 6, wherein one end of the winding rod 7 passes through the side frame 6. The side wall is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 9. Pull ropes 8 are wound around both ends of the winding rod 7, and fixed frames 10 are fixedly connected to the free ends of the two pull ropes 8. Clamping plates 12 are provided on the inner side of the two fixed frames 10. Cylinders 11 are fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the two fixed frames 10 by bolts. The output shaft of the cylinder 11 passes through one side of the fixed frame 10 and is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plate 12. A side groove 14 is opened on one side of the top frame 5, and a soft pad 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side groove 14.

[0025] First, the EPE foam board roll 16 is fitted onto the support rod 20 and initially positioned using a fixing structure. Then, the second motor 13 is started; its output shaft is connected to the support rod 20, causing it to rotate and thus unroll the foam board roll. When laying is required, the operator pulls one end of the EPE foam board from the side groove 14 on one side of the top frame 5 and passes it through the soft pad 15 to reduce friction damage. Next, the two fixing frames 10 are positioned on either side of the foam board, and the cylinder 11 is activated. Its output shaft pushes the clamping plate 12 inward, clamping the edge of the foam board to form... A sturdy limiting support is provided. Simultaneously, the winding rod 7 is driven to rotate by the first motor 9. One end of the pull rope 8 is fixed to the winding rod 7, and the other end is connected to the fixed frame 10. Under the control of the first motor 9, the pull rope 8 can realize the line release action, so that the fixed frame 10 slowly unfolds with the pull rope 8 and moves along the sliding frame 2. The sliding frame 2 is slidably connected to both sides of the bottom of the frame 1, providing guidance and support for the entire device. During this process, as the pull rope 8 is gradually released, the EPE foam board is stably laid on the target surface. After the installation is completed, the first motor 9 is restarted to rotate in the opposite direction, and the pull rope 8 is rewound and stored for easy use next time.

[0026] Furthermore, the tops of both sliding frames 2 are fixedly connected to sliders 3, and both sliders 3 are slidably connected to the bottom of the frame 1 through the sliding groove 4. During the entire process of moving and laying EPE foam boards, the sliding frame 2 drives the sliders 3 to slide along the direction of the sliding groove 4, providing good guidance and limiting function for the sliding frame 2. This structural design effectively improves the stability and accuracy of the sliding frame 2 during the movement process, preventing it from shifting or getting stuck due to uneven force, thereby ensuring that the foam board remains stable during the laying process, improving construction efficiency and material laying quality.

[0027] Furthermore, a fixing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame 1, and each of the two sliders 3 is provided with a rod 18 on one side. The sliders 3 and the fixing plate 17 are provided with slots 19 for use with the rods 18. The fixing plate 17 has several slots 19. After the EPE foam board of different widths is laid, the position of the slider 3 can be locked by adjusting the rods 18 to be inserted into the slots 19 at different positions, thereby adjusting the spacing between the sliding frames 2. This structural design realizes effective adaptation to foam boards of different specifications, enhances the versatility and adaptability of the device, and improves the flexibility and practicality of the equipment in diverse construction scenarios.

[0028] Furthermore, a sliding block 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the roll sleeve 16, and the sliding block 22 is slidably connected to one side of the support rod 20 through the sliding groove 23. During the process of the support rod 20 rotating and unfolding the foam board roll, the roll sleeve 16 can slide along the axial direction of the support rod 20 under the guidance of the sliding block 22, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the position of the foam board roll. This structural design not only improves the connection stability between the roll sleeve 16 and the support rod 20, but also facilitates the adjustment of the lead-out angle and direction of the foam board according to different laying requirements, improving the ease of operation and laying accuracy.

[0029] Furthermore, a threaded rod 21 is provided on one side of the support rod 20, and the threaded rod 21 passes through the support rod 20 through the threaded groove. The threaded rod 21 is located on one side of the roll sleeve 16. After the foam board roll is sleeved on the support rod 20, the threaded rod 21 can be tightened to make it press against the outer wall of the roll sleeve 16, thereby achieving auxiliary fixation of the roll sleeve 16. This structural design effectively prevents the foam board roll from slipping or shifting during the unfolding process, improves the stability and continuity of the roll unfolding, and ensures the smooth progress of the laying process.

[0030] Furthermore, one end of the bearing rod 20 passes through the side wall of the top frame 5 through a bearing sleeve, and one end of the winding rod 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame 6 through a rotating shaft. The other end of the winding rod 7 passes through the side wall of the side frame 6 through a bearing sleeve, enabling the bearing rod 20 and the winding rod 7 to rotate flexibly and smoothly under the drive of the motor, while maintaining high transmission efficiency and operational stability. This structural design effectively reduces mechanical wear and transmission resistance, extends the service life of key components, and improves the reliability and safety of the entire device during long-term operation.

[0031] In summary:

[0032] First, the EPE foam board roll sleeve 16 is fitted onto the support rod 20, and initial positioning and axial adjustment are achieved through the sliding engagement between the sliding block 22 and the sliding groove 23. Then, the threaded rod 21 is tightened to press against the outer wall of the roll sleeve 16, achieving a stable clamping of the foam board roll. Next, the second motor 13 is started, and its output shaft drives the support rod 20 to rotate, thereby driving the roll sleeve 16 to rotate synchronously, achieving automatic unfolding of the foam board roll. The operator pulls out one end of the foam board from the side groove 14 on one side of the top frame 5, passing it through the soft pad 15 to reduce friction damage and protect the material surface quality. Simultaneously, the two fixing frames 10 are located on both sides of the foam board, and the cylinder 11 is activated, pushing the clamping plate 12 inward. The clamping plate 12 firmly holds the edge of the foam board, forming a stable limiting support structure. Then, the first motor 9 starts, driving the winding rod 7 to rotate. One end of the pull rope 8 is fixed to the winding rod 7, and the other end is connected to the fixed frame 10. Under the control of the motor, the rope is released, so that the fixed frame 10 slowly unfolds with the pull rope 8 and moves along the sliding frame 2. The bottom of the sliding frame 2 contacts the ground, and the top is slidably connected to the bottom sides of the frame 1 through the slider 3 and the slide groove 4, providing guidance and stable support for the entire device. During the laying process, as the pull rope 8 is gradually released, the EPE foam board is stably laid to the target surface. After the installation is completed, the first motor 9 is started again to rotate in the opposite direction, and the pull rope 8 is rewound and stored for the next use. Based on this, in order to adapt to EPE foam boards of different widths, the position of the slider 3 can be adjusted and locked by inserting the rod 18 into multiple slots 19 on the fixing plate 17, thereby adjusting the spacing between the sliding frames 2 and improving the versatility and flexibility of the device. At the same time, one end of the bearing rod 20 passes through the side wall of the top frame 5 through the bearing sleeve, and one end of the winding rod 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame 6 through the rotating shaft, while the other end also passes through the side wall of the side frame 6 through the bearing sleeve. This ensures that the bearing rod 20 and the winding rod 7 rotate smoothly under the drive of the motor, reduces mechanical wear and transmission resistance, and improves the overall operational stability and service life.To address the problems of difficult unfolding, high manual labor intensity, and easy wrinkling or tearing during the installation of traditional EPE foam boards in existing technologies, this solution uses an automatic unfolding mechanism consisting of a support rod 20, a second motor 13, and a roll sleeve 16 to achieve rapid unfolding of the foam board roll, avoiding edge lifting, wrinkling, or even tearing caused by repeated manual stretching, thus significantly improving laying efficiency and material integrity. Secondly, a limiting traction system consisting of a winding rod 7, a first motor 9, a pull rope 8, a fixing frame 10, a clamping plate 12, and a cylinder 11 can apply stable tension to the foam board during laying, preventing it from shifting or folding during unfolding and ensuring flatness and continuity during the laying process. Simultaneously, the sliding fit between the sliding frame 2 and the frame body 1... The structure provides excellent mobility and stability for the entire device, facilitating flexible position adjustments in large-area laying scenarios and further improving construction efficiency. Furthermore, the design of the adjustable structures, such as the slider 3 and slide groove 4, and the insertion rod 18 and slot 19, allows the device to adapt to EPE foam boards of different sizes, enhancing its versatility and practicality. The sliding block 22 and sliding groove 23 cooperation structure between the roll sleeve 16 and the bearing rod 20, along with the auxiliary fixing design of the threaded rod 21, effectively improves the stability and adjustability during the roll unfolding process, ensuring the quality of material laying. Finally, the design of the side groove 14 and soft pad 15 on the top frame 5 not only facilitates the extraction of the foam board but also effectively reduces surface scratches caused by friction during extraction, improving the material's appearance quality and performance. In summary, this easy-to-install EPE foam board, through the combination of a rationally laid-out mechanical structure and an intelligent control system, effectively overcomes many shortcomings of existing technologies. It has advantages such as compact structure, convenient operation, efficient laying, and strong material protection, which can significantly improve the practicality and adaptability of EPE foam board in logistics, packaging, and related engineering applications, and meet the multiple needs of modern production and construction for efficient, low-damage, and automated operation.
