Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of cotton bag processing, and in particular to a preliminary shaping device for cotton bag production. Background Technology

[0002] In the cotton bale production industry, with the continuous development of industrial technology, increasing emphasis is being placed on the initial shaping stage of the production process. The quality and efficiency of the initial shaping directly affect the performance of subsequent products and the overall production efficiency. Good initial shaping enables the cotton bale to maintain a stable shape and performance during subsequent processing and use, improving product qualification rates and market competitiveness. The development of this stage is of great significance for raising the overall level of the cotton bale production industry.

[0003] In the previous process of initial shaping of foam, some methods simply relied on high-temperature hot air for heating and shaping, using the heat of the hot air to bake the foam and make it initially solidify. However, although high-temperature hot air has a certain penetrating power, it is difficult to quickly and effectively solidify the surface of the foam, and the high temperature may damage the surface of the foam. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, this application provides a preliminary shaping device for cotton bag production.

[0005] This application provides a preliminary shaping device for cotton bag production, which adopts the following technical solution: A preliminary shaping device for cotton bag production includes a box body with a horizontally arranged conveyor belt running through it. Inside the box body, an ultraviolet curing component and a hot air shaping component are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction. The ultraviolet curing component includes several lamp tubes that can be horizontally pulled out along the width of the box body. The side wall of the box body has an opening for the lamp tubes to be pulled out of the box body, and the box body has a door for opening and closing the opening.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the foam bales are transported by a conveyor belt. The surface of the freshly output foam is initially cured by an ultraviolet curing component, which also provides a certain degree of sterilization and disinfection. Combined with a hot air setting component, the penetrating effect of the air further cures the interior of the foam. This combination of ultraviolet irradiation and hot air heating reduces the shortcomings of single heating methods and improves the quality and efficiency of the initial foam bale setting. The lamps can be pulled out horizontally, and the side walls of the enclosure have openings and doors, allowing the lamp holders to be pulled out horizontally along the width of the enclosure for inspection or replacement.

[0007] Preferably, the ultraviolet curing assembly further includes a slide rail installed inside the housing, a lamp holder slidably connected to the slide rail, and a limiting member for restricting the sliding of the lamp holder, wherein the lamp tube is installed on the lamp holder.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a slide rail installed inside the box, a lamp holder slidably connected to the slide rail, and a limiting component that restricts the sliding of the lamp holder are set in the cotton bag initial shaping device. The lamp tube is installed on the lamp holder, so that the lamp tube can be pulled horizontally along the width of the box, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the lamp tube.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting rod that slides through the slide rail, a limiting spring that is coaxially sleeved on the limiting rod, and a toggle block that is fixedly connected to the limiting rod. The lamp holder has a limiting hole for the limiting rod to be inserted into, and the limiting spring forces the limiting rod to move toward the limiting hole.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting rod of the limiting component is inserted into the limiting hole of the slide rail under the action of the limiting spring, which can limit the sliding of the lamp holder, ensure the stability of the lamp tube during operation, ensure the stability and reliability of ultraviolet irradiation, and thus improve the quality of the initial shaping of the cotton bag.

[0011] Preferably, the hot air shaping component includes an air inlet pipe for conveying hot air into the housing and a perforated air outlet plate disposed at the air outlet end of the air inlet pipe.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the air inlet pipe delivers hot air into the box, and the porous air outlet plate can make the hot air diffuse more evenly. In conjunction with the ultraviolet curing component, the initial shaping of the cotton bag is completed, so that the cotton bag maintains a stable shape and performance in subsequent processing and use.

[0013] Preferably, the hot air shaping component further includes a heat sink disposed on the side of the air outlet plate away from the air inlet pipe, wherein the end of the heat sink away from the air outlet plate is inclined toward the side wall of the housing.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat sink can assist in the diffusion of hot air. The end of the heat sink away from the air outlet plate is tilted towards the side wall of the box, which can guide the diffusion of hot air and make the hot air act more evenly on the cotton pack, further improving the curing effect inside the cotton pack and the overall shaping quality.

[0015] Preferably, the tilt angle of the heat sink increases toward the side wall of the housing.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the tilt angle of the heat sink increases towards the side wall closer to the box, which can make the hot air more evenly distributed inside the box, further improving the effect and quality of the initial shaping of the cotton pack.

[0017] Preferably, the holes in the air outlet plate are tapered, with the hole diameter decreasing towards the heat sink.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the holes of the air outlet plate are conical and the diameter decreases towards the heat sink, which can accelerate the hot air when passing through the holes, increase the contact strength and uniformity between the hot air and the foam, and improve the curing effect and initial shaping quality inside the foam pack.

[0019] Preferably, the ultraviolet curing assembly further includes a lifting component for driving the slide rail to rise and fall, the air inlet pipe rises and falls with the lifting component, and the air inlet pipe is provided with a telescopic sleeve connected to the air outlet plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting component can drive the slide rail and air inlet pipe to rise and fall. The telescopic sleeve can cooperate with the air inlet pipe to rise and fall and ensure connection with the air outlet plate. This allows the device to flexibly adjust the height of the ultraviolet curing component and the hot air shaping component according to the actual situation of the foam, optimize the initial shaping effect, and adapt to foams of different thicknesses to improve the curing effect.

[0021] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: The interior of the chamber is equipped with a UV curing component and a hot air shaping component arranged sequentially along the conveying direction. This combines UV irradiation and hot air heating, allowing for rapid initial curing of the foam surface using UV light and deep curing of the foam interior using hot air, thus improving the overall shaping quality of the foam package.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0025] This application discloses a preliminary shaping device for cotton bag production.

[0026] Example 1: A preliminary shaping device for cotton bale production, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The system includes a housing 1, a conveyor belt 2, an ultraviolet curing component 3, and a hot air shaping component 4. The conveyor belt 2 is horizontally installed in the housing 1. The ultraviolet curing component 3 and the hot air shaping component 4 are arranged sequentially inside the housing 1 along the conveying direction. This arrangement allows the cotton bales to undergo the two steps of ultraviolet curing and hot air shaping in sequence during the conveying process, which effectively improves the quality and efficiency of the initial shaping of the cotton bales.

[0027] The ultraviolet curing component 3 includes a slide rail 31, a lamp holder 32, a lamp tube 33, a limiting component 34, and a lifting component 35. The slide rail 31 is installed inside the housing 1 via the lifting component 35. The length direction of the slide rail 31 is parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 2, and several slide rails 31 are provided. The lamp holder 32 is slidably connected to the slide rail 31. Specifically, the lower surface of the slide rail 31 has a groove 311, which extends along the entire length of the slide rail 31. The lamp holder 32 has a protruding sliding strip 321 that is slidably connected to the groove 311, allowing the lamp holder 32 to be horizontally pulled out. The lamp tube 33 is installed on the lamp holder 32. The lamp tube 33 can be a common ultraviolet lamp 33, which emits ultraviolet light to promote a chemical reaction on the foam surface, achieving preliminary curing. Alternatively, a mercury lamp or other light source that emits ultraviolet light can be used, depending on the specific requirements.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 The limiting member 34 is used to limit the sliding of the lamp holder 32. Specifically, it is a bolt 341. The bolt 341 passes through the outer surface of the slide groove 311. The sliding strip 321 has a threaded hole 322 for the bolt 341 to be threaded. There are at least two threaded holes 322 along the length of the sliding strip 321.

[0029] In order to allow the lamp tube 33 to be pulled out horizontally along the width of the housing 1, the side wall of the housing 1 is provided with an opening 11 for the lamp holder 32 to be pulled out of the housing 1, and the housing 1 is provided with a door 12 for opening and closing the opening 11.

[0030] The lifting component 35 is used to drive the slide rail 31 to rise and fall, thus adjusting the height of the UV curing component 3 according to the different thicknesses of the cotton pack or production needs. Figure 2 As shown, the system specifically includes a mounting bracket 351 connected to the inner top wall of the housing 1, a screw 352 threaded through the mounting bracket 351, a handwheel 353 threadedly connected to the screw 352, and a mounting plate 354 rotatably connected to the lower end of the screw 352. Several slide rails 31 are mounted on the lower surface of the mounting plate 354. Alternatively, it may include a cylinder mounted on the mounting bracket 351, with the piston rod of the cylinder passing through the mounting bracket 351. Since cylinders are existing technology, they will not be described in detail here. Compared to manually rotating the screw 352 to change the height of the ultraviolet light, the adjustment rate is relatively faster.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 The hot air shaping component 4 includes an air inlet pipe 41, an air outlet plate 42, and a heat sink 43. The air inlet pipe 41 is used to deliver hot air into the housing 1 and can generally be connected to an external hot air source, such as a hot air furnace. The air outlet plate 42 is located at the air outlet end of the air inlet pipe 41 and has several air outlet holes 421. The air outlet holes 421 are tapered, with the diameter decreasing towards the heat sink 43. This design allows the hot air velocity to gradually increase as it passes through the air outlet plate 42, improving the diffusion effect of the hot air. This allows the hot air to be evenly distributed within the housing 1, enabling the cotton pack to be heated more uniformly.

[0032] The heat sink 43 is disposed on the surface of the air outlet plate 42 away from the air inlet pipe 41. The end of the heat sink 43 away from the air outlet plate 42 is inclined towards the side wall of the housing 1, and the inclination angle of the heat sink 43 increases towards the side wall of the housing 1. This inclined heat sink 43 can increase the contact area and contact time between the hot air and the cotton pack, allowing the hot air to penetrate deeper into the cotton pack and improve the curing effect inside the cotton pack. At the same time, the heat sink 43 can also play a certain role in heat dissipation, preventing the cotton pack from being damaged by excessive temperature.

[0033] The air inlet pipe 41 delivers hot air into the housing 1, the perforated air outlet plate 42 disperses the hot air evenly, and the heat sink 43 further optimizes the effect of the hot air.

[0034] The air inlet pipe 41 moves up and down with the lifting component 35. The air inlet pipe 41 is equipped with a telescopic sleeve 44 that is connected to the air outlet plate 42. The telescopic sleeve 44 can ensure smooth air intake during the lifting process and can flexibly adapt to changes in height.

[0035] The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with an opening 11 for the lamp tube 33 to be pulled out of the housing 1, and the housing 1 is provided with a door 12 for opening and closing the opening 11. When the lamp tube 33 needs to be replaced or repaired, the door 12 can be opened and the lamp tube 33 can be pulled out of the housing 1 horizontally along the width direction of the housing 1, which is convenient and quick.

[0036] The components that make up the UV curing assembly 3 work together. The sliding structure of the slide rail 31 and the lamp holder 32 facilitates the adjustment and maintenance of the lamp tube 33's position; the limiting component 34 ensures the stability of the lamp tube 33 during operation; and the lifting component 35 improves the applicability of the device. This combination logic enables the UV curing assembly 3 to better complete the UV curing task on the cotton pack, improving the initial curing effect on the cotton pack's surface.

[0037] The implementation principle of the initial shaping device for cotton bag production in this application embodiment is as follows: the ultraviolet curing component 3 and the hot air shaping component 4 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction inside the box 1. It combines ultraviolet irradiation and hot air heating, which can not only use ultraviolet light to quickly pre-cur the surface of the foam, but also use hot air to penetrate into the interior of the foam for curing, thereby improving the overall shaping quality of the cotton bag.

[0038] Example 2: Reference Figure 6 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that, in another embodiment, as shown in the figure, it may specifically include a limiting rod 342, a limiting spring 343, and a toggle block 344. The limiting rod 342 slides through the slide rail 31, the limiting spring 343 is coaxially sleeved on the limiting rod 342, and the toggle block 344 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 342. A limiting hole is provided on the sliding bar 321 for the limiting rod 342 to be inserted, and the limiting spring 343 forces the limiting rod 342 to move towards the limiting hole. When it is necessary to move the lamp holder 32, by toggling the toggle block 344, the limiting spring 343 is compressed, causing the limiting rod 342 to be pulled out of the limiting hole, and the lamp holder 32 can slide on the slide rail 31; when the lamp holder 32 moves to the appropriate position, the toggle block 344 is released, the limiting spring 343 returns to its deformation, pushes the limiting rod 342 into the limiting hole, thereby fixing the position of the lamp holder 32. This limiting method is simple and reliable, and can effectively ensure the stability of lamp 33 during operation.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
