Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sponge production equipment technology, specifically a drying device for sponge production. Background Technology
[0002] Sponges are soft materials with a porous structure, widely used for cleaning, absorption, sound insulation, and cushioning. To remove moisture absorbed during the production or storage of sponges, prevent mold, deterioration, or performance degradation caused by moisture, ensure the cleanliness and effectiveness of the sponges, and extend their service life, sponges are often dried.
[0003] An investigation revealed that a Chinese utility model patent (publication number: CN218270048U) discloses a drying device for sponge production, comprising a support mechanism, with a drying mechanism disposed outside the support mechanism; the support mechanism includes a support column, a transmission roller disposed at the upper end of the support column, a roller pressing box disposed at the upper part of the transmission roller, a feeding platform disposed at the front end of the transmission roller, a conveyor belt disposed on the upper surface of the feeding platform, and a drying box disposed at the rear end of the transmission roller; the drying mechanism includes an electric push rod, with a pressure sensor fixedly connected to the lower end of the electric push rod.
[0004] Although the aforementioned patent provides stable support for the bottom of the feeding platform with support columns and supports the conveyor belt on the upper surface of the feeding platform, allowing the produced sponge to be placed on the surface of the conveyor belt on the upper part of the feeding platform and transported to the inside of the roller press box for sponge production and drying, this structure offers stable support and facilitates sponge transport, thus making the sponge drying operation easier. However, when the rollers roll the sponge, they create a certain resistance, causing friction between the bottom of the sponge and the conveyor belt, which affects the quality of the sponge. Furthermore, because the extrusion process is dynamic and continuous with a short pressure application time, the extruded water is difficult to remove in time and is easily reabsorbed by the sponge after rebound, affecting the dehydration effect.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a drying device for sponge production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] 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.
[0031] This utility model provides a drying device for sponge production, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, a drying device for sponge production includes a mounting frame 1, a first upright 2 fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the mounting frame 1, a discharge assembly fixedly connected to the front surface of the first upright 2, an extrusion assembly fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first upright 2, a second upright 3 fixedly connected to the other side of the upper surface of the mounting frame 1, a fixing frame 4 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second upright 3, and a sealing assembly fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixing frame 4.
[0032] The unloading assembly includes a first motor 5, the back of which is fixedly mounted on the front surface of the first upright 2. A half gear 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 5. A gear 7 meshes with the outer surface of the half gear 6. A placement plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the gear 7. An inclined plate 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the placement plate 8. Starting the first motor 5 can drive the half gear 6 to rotate. When the teeth of the half gear 6 mesh with the gear 7, the placement plate 8 can be rotated to a certain angle via the gear 7. This allows the squeezed water to flow smoothly out of the placement plate 8, preventing the sponge from rebounding and absorbing the water back. This ensures the water squeezing effect and allows the sponge to be unloaded, moving it above the conveyor belt 28 for subsequent processes, ensuring the continuity of production.
[0033] The inner wall of the first upright 2 is fixedly connected to a force plate 10 below the placement plate 8. A feeding plate 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the force plate 10. The force plate 10 can bear the weight of the pressure plate 16, ensuring the effective squeezing out of the sponge. The feeding plate 11 can facilitate the sponge to be transported to the top of the placement plate 8 via the conveyor belt 28.
[0034] A water collection box 12 is fixedly connected to the other side of the load-bearing plate 10. A drain pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the water collection box 12. The water collection box 12 can collect the water squeezed out of the sponge and then discharge it through the drain pipe 13 to avoid production chaos on the conveyor belt 28.
[0035] A drainage groove is provided on the upper surface of the inclined plate 9, and the lower part of the drainage groove corresponds to the upper part of the water collection box 12. The drainage groove facilitates the effective entry of water into the water collection box 12.
[0036] The extrusion assembly includes a cylinder 14, the lower surface of which is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the first stand 2. The output end of the cylinder 14 is rotatably connected to a connecting block 15, and the lower surface of the connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 16. Springs 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the pressure plate 16. When the cylinder 14 is activated, it pushes the pressure plate 16 to press down vertically, which can squeeze out the water in the sponge. The static extrusion can reduce the friction caused to the sponge, thereby ensuring the production quality of the sponge. At the same time, the springs 17 can ensure the horizontal state of the pressure plate 16 when it is pressed down, ensuring the uniformity of the extrusion force. The connecting block 15 can make the pressure plate 16 tilt with the placement plate 8 to ensure the smooth discharge of water. The springs 17 can extend and retract according to its tilt state without causing interference.
[0037] The sealing assembly includes a second motor 18, the lower surface of which is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the fixed frame 4. A threaded rod 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 18. A drive frame 20 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 19. Sealing plates 21 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the drive frame 20. Starting the second motor 18 can drive the threaded rod 19 to rotate, causing the drive frame 20 to move on its surface, thereby driving the sealing plates 21 to move up and down. This facilitates the smooth entry of the sponge into the interior of the second upright frame 3, while effectively sealing both ends of the second upright frame 3. This reduces heat loss during the drying process, improves heat utilization, reduces energy consumption, and helps maintain the temperature stability inside the second upright frame 3, accelerating the drying speed of the sponge material and improving production efficiency.
[0038] Both sides of the sealing plate 21 are fixedly connected with sealing rings 22, and both sides of the drive frame 20 are fixedly connected with sliders 23. The sealing rings 22 can improve the sealing of the sealing plate 21 to the second support frame 3, and the sliders 23 can limit and guide the drive frame 20 to ensure that it moves up and down along the threaded rod 19.
[0039] Guide grooves are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 4, and the guide grooves are adapted to the slider 23.
[0040] Heating plates 24 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the second stand 3. An installation plate 25 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom heating plate 24. The heating plates 24 can heat and dry the upper and lower sides of the sponge at the same time to improve the drying efficiency. The installation plate 25 can seal the bottom of the second stand 3 to further reduce heat loss and ensure the drying rate.
[0041] A third motor 26 is fixedly mounted on one end of the front surface of the mounting frame 1. A roller 27 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 26. A conveyor belt 28 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the roller 27. When the third motor 26 is started, the conveyor belt 28 can be driven to rotate through the roller 27 to transport the sponge.
[0042] Working steps: First, starting the third motor 26 drives the conveyor belt 28 to rotate via roller 27, thus conveying the sponge. Next, the sponge moves above the placement plate 8 via the feeding plate 11. Then, starting the cylinder 14 pushes the pressure plate 16 vertically downward. The spring 17 ensures the horizontal state of the pressure plate 16 during downward pressure, thereby squeezing out the water from the sponge. Second, starting the first motor 5 drives the half gear 6 to rotate. When the teeth of the half gear 6 mesh with the gear 7, the placement plate 8 can be rotated to a certain angle via the gear 7, allowing the squeezed water to flow out smoothly. The sponge is placed on a plate 8, which enters the water collection box 12 through the drainage channel and is then discharged through the drain pipe 13. After the plate 8 is placed horizontally, the pressure plate 16 is moved upward and the plate 8 is tilted so that the sponge slides down the tilt plate 9 onto the conveyor belt 28 and is then transported into the second stand 3. Finally, the second motor 18 is started to drive the threaded rod 19 to rotate, which moves the drive frame 20 on its surface and drives the sealing plate 21 to move up and down to effectively seal both ends of the second stand 3. Then, the heating plate 24 is started to heat and dry the upper and lower sides of the sponge simultaneously.
[0043] 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.
