Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the production of cotton bales, internal curing is a crucial step, as its quality directly affects the final performance and quality of the bales. With the development of industrial production, the demands for production efficiency and quality of cotton bales are constantly increasing, and heat curing technology is also continuously improving. Effective heat curing can make the internal structure of cotton bales more stable, improve its physical properties, and meet the usage needs of different industries, showing significant application value in many fields such as furniture and automotive interiors.

[0003] In the internal curing process of latex pad production, steam heating is typically used. To improve heating efficiency, the common practice is to install steam jet assemblies on both the upper and lower surfaces of the latex pad. Simultaneously, the conveyor belt transporting the latex pad is made of a steam-permeable material, allowing for better contact between the steam and the latex pad, aiming for a more uniform heating effect.

[0004] However, existing technology has significant drawbacks. Because some of the water from the permeation conveyor belt is absorbed by the latex pad, water accumulates at the bottom of the pad, creating an overly wet zone. This overly wet zone forms a "thermal barrier," preventing sufficient heat transfer from the lower steam layer to the interior of the latex pad. This severely affects the heating and curing effect of the latex pad, consequently impacting the overall quality of the cotton pack. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the above problems, this application provides a steam device for cotton bag production.

[0006] This application provides a steam device for cotton bag production, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A steam device for producing cotton bales includes a housing, a conveying mechanism passing through the housing, and a steam mechanism disposed within the housing. The conveying mechanism is used to convey cotton bales and includes a frame, a conveyor belt wound around the frame, support rollers rotatably connected to the frame, and a drive assembly for driving the conveyor belt. The steam mechanism includes steam nozzle assemblies respectively disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the cotton bales. Several support rollers are spaced apart along the length of the frame, and moisture-absorbing components are disposed on the support rollers to absorb water condensed on the lower surface of the conveyor belt and water that has permeated into the cotton bales. A squeezing component is disposed on the frame to expel water from the moisture-absorbing components.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a box, conveying mechanism and steam mechanism are set up in the cotton bag production to convey and heat the cotton bag. The moisture absorption component on the support roller can absorb the water condensed on the lower surface of the conveyor belt and the water that has penetrated into the cotton bag. The extrusion component on the frame can squeeze out the water in the moisture absorption component, so as to reduce the water accumulation at the bottom of the latex pad to form an over-wet area and a "heat barrier", thereby improving the heating and curing effect of the cotton bag.

[0009] Preferably, the moisture-absorbing component includes a moisture-absorbing sleeve coaxially sleeved on the support roller, the moisture-absorbing sleeve being elastic, the extrusion component includes an extrusion plate pressed against the moisture-absorbing sleeve, and the frame is provided with a water receiving trough for receiving water guided by the arc-shaped guide plate, the water receiving trough being connected to a water outlet pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the moisture-absorbing sleeve absorbs the water condensed on the lower surface of the conveyor belt and the water that has seeped into the cotton bag. The elastic moisture-absorbing sleeve makes it easy for the squeezing plate to press against it to squeeze out the water. The water receiving tank receives the water guided by the arc-shaped guide plate and discharges it through the water outlet pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the frame is further provided with a guide plate that abuts against the lower surface of the conveyor belt.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a guide plate is set on the frame to abut against the lower surface of the conveyor belt, so that when the extrusion component presses against the moisture-absorbing component, the water attached to the lower surface of the conveyor belt is first guided, thereby improving the subsequent use effect of the moisture-absorbing sleeve.

[0013] Preferably, the lower end of the guide plate is inclined toward the moisture-absorbing sleeve, the guide plate is connected to the extrusion plate, and the extrusion plate and the guide plate are provided with through holes along their own thickness direction.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, in the steam device for cotton bag production, the inclined guide plate can guide the water on the lower surface of the conveyor belt to the moisture-absorbing sleeve. The guide plate is connected to the extrusion plate for easy structural design. The through holes on the extrusion plate and the guide plate facilitate water flow, thereby reducing the accumulation of water in the lower part of the latex pad to form an over-wet area and a "thermal barrier", improving the efficiency of steam heat transfer to the interior of the latex pad, and enhancing the heating and curing effect of the cotton bag.

[0015] Preferably, the extrusion plate is rotatably connected to the guide plate, the frame is provided with a limiting member to restrict the rotation of the extrusion plate, and the moisture-absorbing sleeve is detachably connected to the support roller.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the extrusion plate is rotatably connected to the guide plate, and the frame is equipped with a limiting component to restrict the rotation of the extrusion plate, which can fix the extrusion plate in a suitable position and ensure the extrusion effect on the moisture-absorbing sleeve; as the moisture-absorbing sleeve is detachably connected to the support roller, the extrusion plate can be rotated, thereby facilitating the replacement or maintenance of the moisture-absorbing sleeve.

[0017] Preferably, the frame is rotatably connected to a rotating rod, the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the extrusion plate, and the limiting member includes a fixed plate fixed to the frame, a limiting plate fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and a limiting bolt passing through the limiting plate. The limiting plate has a plurality of through holes for the limiting bolt to pass through, the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, and the fixed plate has threaded holes for the limiting bolt to be threadedly connected.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the extrusion plate is rotatably connected to the frame via a rotating rod. The rotation of the extrusion plate is restricted by a limiting component, which consists of a fixed plate, a limiting plate, and a limiting bolt. The limiting plate has a through hole, and the fixed plate has a threaded hole, which allows for flexible adjustment of the position and angle of the extrusion plate to facilitate the replacement of the moisture-absorbing sleeve.

[0019] Preferably, the lower surface of the conveyor belt is coated with a hydrophobic layer that allows steam to pass through.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, a hydrophobic layer that allows steam to pass through is coated on the lower surface of the conveyor belt, which can prevent water that permeates the conveyor belt from being absorbed by the cotton bag, reduce the possibility of water accumulation at the bottom of the cotton bag forming an overly wet area and a "thermal barrier", so that the steam heat at the bottom can be effectively conducted to the inside of the cotton bag, and improve the heating and curing effect of the cotton bag.

[0021] Preferably, the conveyor belt has a plurality of micro-holes.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveyor belt is opened with micropores to allow steam to pass through, thereby increasing the amount of steam passing through and enabling the steam to heat the cotton bag.

[0023] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The moisture-absorbing component on the support roller can absorb the water condensed on the lower surface of the conveyor belt and the water that has penetrated into the cotton bale. The extrusion component on the frame can squeeze out the water from the moisture-absorbing component, reducing water accumulation at the bottom of the cotton bale, reducing the formation of a "heat barrier", improving the efficiency of steam heat transfer, and enhancing the heating and curing effect of the cotton bale.

[0025] 2. The hydrophobic layer coated on the lower surface of the conveyor belt allows steam to pass through and reduces water adhesion on the conveyor belt, further reducing the possibility of water accumulation at the bottom of the cotton bag;

[0026] 3. The numerous micro-holes on the conveyor belt allow steam to come into better contact with the cotton pack, which helps to improve the uniformity of heating. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0034] This application discloses a steam device for cotton bag production.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] A steam device for cotton bale production, referenced Figure 1 , Figure 2 The system includes a housing 1, a conveying mechanism 2 passing through the housing 1, and a steam mechanism 3 disposed within the housing 1. The conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey cotton bales and specifically includes a frame 21, a conveyor belt 22 wound around the frame 21, a support roller 23 rotatably connected to the frame 21, and a drive assembly (not shown) for driving the conveyor belt 22. In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 22 can be made of a material that allows steam to permeate, such as a fabric material with a microporous structure. The micropores can increase the contact area between the steam and the cotton bales, improving the heating effect.

[0037] The drive assembly is used to drive the conveyor belt 22. A common drive assembly can be a motor, which drives the conveyor belt 22 to rotate through transmission methods such as the conveyor belt 22, chain, or gears. The support rollers 23 are rotatably connected to the frame 21 and are arranged at intervals along the length of the frame 21. The support rollers 23 support the conveyor belt 22 and ensure that the conveyor belt 22 runs smoothly.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 A moisture-absorbing component 4 is installed on the support roller 23 to absorb water condensed on the lower surface of the conveyor belt 22 and water that has seeped into the cotton pouch. The moisture-absorbing component 4 can take various forms, such as sponge, absorbent fibers, or other materials with good water absorption properties. Specifically, it is a moisture-absorbing sleeve made of sponge, possessing a certain degree of elasticity and a rich porous structure, capable of absorbing a large amount of moisture. The moisture-absorbing sleeve is coaxially fitted onto the outer surface of the support roller 23.

[0039] The frame 21 is equipped with an extrusion assembly 5, which is used to expel water from the moisture-absorbing assembly 4. Specifically, it can be as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the extrusion assembly 5 may include an extrusion roller 51 rotatably connected to the frame 21 and a drive component 52 for driving the extrusion roller 51 to rotate. The extrusion roller 51 is located below the support roller 23 and abuts against the moisture-absorbing sleeve. The drive component 52 may be a motor to drive the extrusion roller 51 to rotate, or a chain or gear drive, depending on the requirements. The frame 21 is provided with a water receiving tank 211 to collect the water after extrusion by the extrusion roller 51. The water receiving tank 211 is connected to a water outlet pipe 212. The inner bottom wall of the water receiving tank 211 is inclined towards the direction of the water outlet pipe 212 so that the water moves towards the direction of the water outlet pipe 212. Or as... Figure 4 As shown, the extrusion assembly 5 includes an extrusion plate 53 that abuts against the moisture-absorbing sleeve, and the specific configuration is determined according to requirements.

[0040] The steam mechanism 3 includes a steam nozzle assembly 31 disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the cotton bag, a conveying pipe 32 connected to the steam nozzle assembly 31, and a conveying pump 33 disposed on the conveying pipe 32. The steam nozzle assembly 31 includes a plurality of steam nozzles arranged in a staggered manner along the height direction. In this embodiment, the steam nozzles can be circular, square pipes or S-shaped coils, depending on the requirements. The steam nozzles have a plurality of jet holes, through which steam is ejected to heat the cotton bag.

[0041] In another embodiment, the direction of the jet nozzles on the steam nozzle can be inclined. During the steam jetting process, the water condensed on the lower surface of the conveyor belt 22 can be blown away, thereby reducing the accumulation of water droplets on the lower surface of the conveyor belt 22.

[0042] Furthermore, a guide plate 213 is also provided on the frame 21, which abuts against the lower surface of the conveyor belt 22. The guide plate 213 is fixedly connected to the frame 21, and the lower end of the guide plate 213 is inclined away from the moisture-absorbing sleeve. As the drive assembly drives the conveyor belt 22 to move, it scrapes the water droplets condensed on the lower surface of the conveyor belt 22, thereby improving the absorption effect of the subsequent moisture-absorbing sleeve on the water that has penetrated into the conveyor belt 22 and the latex pad, thereby further reducing the possibility of water accumulation at the bottom of the latex pad forming an over-wet area.

[0043] Furthermore, the lower surface of the conveyor belt 22 is coated with a hydrophobic layer that allows steam to pass through. The hydrophobic layer can be made of a hydrophobic coating, such as a fluoride coating, which can prevent water from accumulating on the lower surface of the conveyor belt 22 without affecting the permeation of steam.

[0044] The implementation principle of the steam device for cotton pad production in this application embodiment is as follows: This steam device effectively solves the problem of water accumulation at the bottom of the latex pad in the prior art by setting a moisture-absorbing element on the support roller 23 of the conveying mechanism 2 and an extrusion element on the frame 21. The moisture-absorbing element absorbs moisture from the lower surface of the conveyor belt 22 and inside the cotton pad, while the extrusion element squeezes out the water from the moisture-absorbing element, reducing the formation of excessively wet areas and ensuring that the steam heat can be smoothly conducted to the inside of the cotton pad, thus improving the heating and curing effect. Compared with the prior art, this device significantly improves the heating and curing effect of the cotton pad, thereby improving the production quality of the cotton pad.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] Reference Figure 5 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the extrusion plate 53 is rotatably connected to the guide plate 213. Specifically, the frame 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 214, which is rotatably connected to the guide plate 213 and fixedly connected to the extrusion plate 53. The frame 21 is provided with a limiting member 6 to restrict the rotation of the extrusion plate 53. The moisture-absorbing sleeve is detachably connected to the support roller 23.

[0047] The limiting component 6 specifically includes a fixed plate 61 fixed to the frame 21, a limiting plate 62 fixedly connected to the rotating rod 214, and a limiting bolt 63 passing through the limiting plate 62. The limiting plate 62 has several through holes 621 for the limiting bolt 63 to pass through. Several through holes 621 are spaced around the axis of the limiting plate 62. The rotating rod 214 is rotatably passed through the fixed plate 61. The fixed plate 61 has threaded holes for the limiting bolt 63 to be threadedly connected.

[0048] To reduce water retention between the extrusion plate 53 and the guide plate 213, the extrusion plate 53 and the guide plate 213 are provided with through holes along their thickness direction. The function of the through holes is to allow the extruded water to flow smoothly into the water receiving tank 211.

[0049] 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.
