Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning technology in pearl cotton production, specifically a positioning mechanism for pearl cotton production. Background Technology

[0002] Polyethylene foam, also known as EPE pearl cotton, is a new type of environmentally friendly packaging material. It is composed of countless independent air bubbles generated by the physical foaming of low-density polyethylene resin. It has many advantages such as water and moisture resistance, shock absorption, sound insulation, heat insulation, good plasticity, high toughness, recyclability, environmental protection, and strong impact resistance. It also has good chemical resistance. It is an ideal substitute for traditional packaging materials. When producing pearl cotton, a positioning mechanism is required to position the pearl cotton during the winding process to ensure the quality of the pearl cotton after winding.

[0003] A search revealed a patent, CN215248552U, which discloses a positioning mechanism for EPE foam production. The mechanism includes a frame, with rotating rollers movably mounted on the side of the frame and a power box fixedly mounted on the side of the frame. A positioning plate is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rollers. Threaded holes are formed on the side of the frame, and an adjusting rod is threaded onto the inner surface of the threaded holes. A spring is fixedly connected between the inner surface of the frame and the positioning plate. This positioning mechanism for EPE foam production, by creating threaded holes on the side of the frame and threading adjusting rods into these holes, and by sleeved positioning plates onto the outer surfaces of multiple sets of rotating rollers, connects the positioning plates to the inner surface of the frame with springs. Rotating the adjusting rods moves the positioning plates, adapting to different EPE foam sizes and achieving accurate positioning of both sides of the EPE foam, ensuring good winding results.

[0004] The aforementioned patents have significant beneficial effects, but in practical application, they still have the following shortcomings:

[0005] The aforementioned comparative document uses two side positioning plates to position and transport the EPE foam during the conveying process. However, in reality, due to the deformability of EPE foam, it may wrinkle during long-distance transport. The two positioning plates in the aforementioned comparative document can only position the two sides of the EPE foam. When wrinkles occur during transport, the edges of the EPE foam may not contact the sides of the positioning plates, thus reducing the positioning effect of the positioning structure. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to improve the positioning mechanism for EPE foam production to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 A positioning mechanism for EPE foam production includes a support base plate 1, a flattening seat 2 on the upper part of the support base plate 1, fixed seats 3 on opposite sides of the flattening seat 2, two guide rollers 4 for guiding and conveying EPE foam between the two fixed seats 3, a flattening frame 5 located between the two guide rollers 4 between the two fixed seats 3, the flattening frame 5 being horizontally V-shaped with its opening facing the EPE foam conveying direction, a plurality of support columns 6 located on opposite sides of the fixed seats 3 on the upper part of the support base plate 1, positioning rollers 7 rotatably connected to the sides of the support columns 6, a support side plate 8 adapted to the fixed seats 3 on the upper part of the support base plate 1, a winding reel 9 for winding on one side of the support side plate 8, a sliding block 14 fixedly installed at the lower end of the support column 6, a sliding groove 15 adapted to the sliding block 14 on the upper part of the support base plate 1, a drive screw 16 threadedly connected to the sliding block 14 rotatably connected in the sliding groove 15, and a first drive motor 17 for driving the drive screw 16 to rotate fixedly installed on one side of the support base plate 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the specific implementation method is as follows: When the EPE foam needs to be wound up, one end of the EPE foam is fed to the upper part of the flattening seat 2. The EPE foam passes through two guide rollers 4 and a flattening frame 5. The flattening frame 5 is horizontally V-shaped with its opening facing the conveying direction of the EPE foam. The flattening frame 5 is made of plastic material that will not damage the EPE foam. When the EPE foam forms wrinkles in the middle and passes through the flattening frame 5, it is squeezed downward by the flattening frame 5, and the flattening frame 5 exerts a force on the EPE foam to push it to both sides, achieving a flattening effect. In conjunction with the positioning rollers 7 located on the bearing columns 6 on both sides of the fixed seat 3, the EPE foam is positioned, improving the positioning effect during the production of EPE foam. The pearl cotton is then fed to the actively rotating take-up reel 9, which winds up the pearl cotton. When it is necessary to wind pearl cotton of different widths, the first drive motor 17 is started. The output end of the first drive motor 17 drives the drive screw 16 to rotate. The teeth of the drive screw 16 on the inner side of the sliding groove 15 are symmetrical and opposite. When the drive screw 16 rotates, it drives the sliding block 14 to move towards or away from each other in the sliding groove 15. The sliding block 14 drives the bearing column 6 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the two positioning rollers 7. This allows for the positioning of pearl cotton that is smaller than the width of the flattening seat 2, thus improving the applicability of pearl cotton positioning.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Please see Figure 3 This embodiment includes the above embodiment, and further includes: a fixed seat 3 is slidably connected to an adjusting seat 10 on its side, two guide rollers 4 are rotatably connected between the two adjusting seats 10, a flattening frame 5 is fixedly installed between the adjusting seats 10, an adjusting groove 11 adapted to the adjusting seat 10 is opened through the opposite side of the fixed seat 3, an adjusting threaded rod 12 threadedly connected to the adjusting seat 10 is passed through and rotatably connected to the upper part of the fixed seat 3, and a limit nut 13 is threadedly connected to the upper side of the adjusting threaded rod 12.

[0034] The specific implementation method in this embodiment is as follows: By synchronously rotating several adjusting threaded rods 12, the adjusting seat 10 is driven to move in the adjusting groove 11 when the several adjusting threaded rods 12 rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the two guide rollers 4 and the flattening frame 5 and the flattening seat 2. Then, the position of the adjusting seat 10 is limited and fixed by tightening the limiting nut 13. This method can convey and flatten pearl cotton of different thicknesses, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6This embodiment includes all the above embodiments, and further includes: a rotating groove 19 extending through one side of the bearing side plate 8; a rotating disk 18 rotatably connected within the rotating groove 19; two rotating disks rotatably connected to a fixed shaft 21 on one side of the rotating disk 18; a winding reel 9 sleeved on the side of the fixed shaft 21; a third drive motor 22 for driving the fixed shaft 21 to rotate fixedly installed on one side of the rotating disk 18; a second drive motor 20 for driving the rotating disk 18 to rotate fixedly installed on one side of the bearing side plate 8; and a toothed ring 26 extending beyond the side of the bearing side plate 8 fixedly installed on one side of the rotating disk 18. The output end of the second drive motor 20 is fixedly mounted with a gear 27 that meshes with the gear ring 26. A fixing ring 28 is fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the gear ring 26. The fixing ring 28 is fixedly mounted on one side of the rotating disk 18 with fasteners. The fixed shaft 21 has a polygonal cross section and is adapted to the winding disk 9. A matching sliding ring 29 is sleeved on the side of the fixed shaft 21. A T-shaped limiting rod 23 passes through the sliding ring 29. A spring 24 is fixedly mounted between one side of the limiting rod 23 and the side of the sliding ring 29. Several limiting holes 25 adapted to the ends of the limiting rod 23 are opened on the side of the fixed shaft 21.

[0037] In this embodiment, the specific implementation is as follows: When the take-up reel 9 needs to be replaced, the second drive motor 20 is started. The output end of the second drive motor 20 drives the gear 27 to rotate. When the gear 27 rotates, it drives the gear ring 26 to rotate. The gear ring 26 drives the rotating disk 18 to rotate in the rotating groove 19, replacing the positions of the two take-up reels 9. The second drive motor 20 can rotate in both directions. Then, the third drive motor 22 drives a fixed shaft 21 near the flattening seat 2 to rotate, continuing to wind up the pearl cotton. During the winding process, the finished take-up reel 9 is removed without delaying the winding of the pearl cotton, improving the efficiency of the device in the pearl cotton winding process. The efficiency of winding during cotton production is improved, thereby increasing the production efficiency of pearl cotton. The toothed ring 26 is installed and fixed by the cooperation of the fixing ring 28 and the fastener. When installing the winding reel 9, the winding reel 9 is sleeved on the side of the fixing shaft 21, and the limiting rod 23 is pulled away from the fixing shaft 21. At this time, the spring 24 is stretched, and the two sliding rings 29 are moved. The position of the limiting rod 23 is matched with the position of the two limiting holes 25 of the pearl cotton. The limiting rod 23 is released, and the end of the limiting rod 23 is inserted into the limiting hole 25 of the matching position, which completes the limiting of the winding reel 9, making it easy to remove or install the winding reel 9.
