Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of scooping and sorting mechanisms, and in particular to a scooping and sorting mechanism for a hot melt adhesive cooling water tank. Background Technology
[0002] Hot melt adhesives are characterized by high strength, aging resistance, non-toxicity, and excellent thermal stability. They are solid at room temperature and can melt when heated. They are widely used for bonding solid materials such as wood, fiber, plastic, furniture, and electronic components, and are commonly used in both factory production and daily household use. In the production process of hot melt adhesives, newly produced hot melt adhesives in packaging bags need to be cooled and set to facilitate subsequent packaging and transportation. Currently, the common cooling and setting method is to use cooling water tanks (i.e., cooling pools). This method uses flowing cooling water to cool the hot melt adhesive, while a plate chain conveyor belt transports the hot melt adhesive, thus facilitating the packaging operation after cooling. However, the above cooling solution still has certain drawbacks: To optimize space utilization, existing cooling water tanks typically feature multiple 180° bends in the flow channels. During the cooling process, the hot melt adhesive's orientation continuously changes with the water flow in different channels, resulting in varying orientations when output via a conveyor belt in the final straight-flow channel. This necessitates a dedicated manual sorting station before subsequent packaging, which is not only inconvenient but also detrimental to cost savings.
[0003] In view of this, the inventors specifically designed a scooping and sorting mechanism for a hot melt adhesive cooling water tank, which led to this invention. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A retrieval and sorting mechanism for a hot melt adhesive cooling water tank, comprising: Several dividing baffles are spaced at the upper end of the conveyor belt of the flow channel, parallel to the direction of cooling water flow, to divide the flow channel into several sorting channels. The scooping and sorting plate corresponds one-to-one with the dividing baffle and is located on its water-facing side. It has a guide slope that, when in its lowest position, at least partially penetrates below the cooling water surface. The guide slope extends downward at an angle in the opposite direction of the cooling water flow. The drive mechanism is used to drive the lifting and sorting plate to move vertically up and down along a direction perpendicular to the flow of cooling water.
[0005] Preferably, the scooping and sorting plates are staggered.
[0006] Preferably, the spacing between adjacent partitions is set to 1.5-2 times the width of the hot melt adhesive packaging bag.
[0007] Preferably, the guide ramp is straight or curved.
[0008] Preferably, the guide slope is composed of two symmetrically arranged guide surfaces in a figure-eight shape.
[0009] Preferably, the interior of the scooping and sorting plate is hollow to form a cavity, and the side of the plate near the dividing baffle and the bottom surface are hollowed out to form a clearance groove. The two sides of the dividing baffle are provided with guide limiting plates that extend obliquely into the cavity along the clearance groove.
[0010] Preferably, the two guide limiting plates are arranged in a figure-eight shape.
[0011] Preferably, the driving mechanism is a cylinder or a lead screw mechanism.
[0012] Preferably, the driving mechanism is a cylinder, the output shaft of the cylinder is fixed to the upper end of the scooping and sorting plate, and its output end is fixed with a connecting plate extending horizontally to one side. The connecting plate is provided with a linear bearing, and the upper end of the scooping and sorting plate is provided with a guide shaft that cooperates with the linear bearing.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a water flow device, which is located on the water-facing side of the lifting and sorting plate, and includes a water supply pipe, a water pump, a water outlet pipe, and a nozzle device. The water outlet pipe is arranged perpendicular to the flow channel and introduces circulating cooling water through the water pump and the water supply pipe. The nozzle device is located on the side of the water outlet pipe facing the lifting and sorting plate and is used to spray the circulating cooling water to drive the hot melt adhesive packaging bag forward along the flow channel.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention divides the flow channel into multiple sorting channels using partition baffles. When a hot melt adhesive bag arrives at the inlet of a sorting channel with the water flow, it may get stuck due to its posture. At this time, the drive mechanism drives the lifting and sorting plate to move vertically up and down. The guide slope of the lifting and sorting plate will help to sort the hot melt adhesive bag stuck at the inlet. The figure-eight shaped guide surface and guide limiting plate can effectively guide and limit the hot melt adhesive bag, allowing it to smoothly enter the sorting channel with a uniform posture. The circulating cooling water sprayed by the water flow device provides power for the forward movement of the hot melt adhesive bag, ensuring its orderly movement within the flow channel.
[0015] Through the above-described structural design, this utility model enables hot melt adhesive packaging bags to enter the sorting channel in a uniform manner, facilitating subsequent uniform packing without the need for additional manual assistance. This not only improves operational convenience but also helps save costs, demonstrating high practical value in the cooling and shaping stage of hot melt adhesive production.

[0019] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0020] As the basis of this utility model, the partial structure of the cooling water tank 100 is defined as follows: like Figure 1 , 2As shown, a flow channel 110 is formed inside the cooling water tank 100. The flow channel 110 is enclosed by baffle plates 111 on both sides and a bottom plate (not shown in the figure). Both baffle plates 111 and bottom plate are made of stainless steel. A plate-shaped top is also included on the upper side of the flow channel 110 (generally, the flow channel 110 is enclosed by a frame design, and the top is set inside the frame) for installation and use.
[0021] As a driving force, a plate chain conveyor 200 is designed along the straight line inside the flow channel 110. The hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag is continuously moved forward by the conveyor belt of the plate chain conveyor 200.
[0022] In this embodiment, some bottom support structures 210 for supporting the conveyor belt can also be fixed inside the flow channel 110 so that the conveyor belt maintains a certain conveying posture.
[0023] In addition, cooling water 112 continuously flows in the flow channel 110. The cooling water 112 flows continuously along the extension direction of the flow channel 110 and is circulated and cooled by an external cooling tower.
[0024] To facilitate the flow and transfer of hot melt adhesive 700, a deeper water level is generally designed in the front section of the flow channel 110 so that the packaging bag of hot melt adhesive 700 floats on the surface of cooling water 112 and flows with the cooling water 112. At the same time, in the rear section of the flow channel 110, in order to cooperate with the conveyor belt of the plate chain conveyor 200 to transport hot melt adhesive 700, a shallower water level is generally designed so that the bottom of hot melt adhesive 700 can contact the conveyor belt and thus be transported backward with the conveyor belt. The above design is generally achieved by tilting and fixing the rear section of the plate chain conveyor 200.
[0025] Based on this, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a retrieval and sorting mechanism for a hot melt adhesive cooling water tank, comprising a plurality of partition baffles 300, a retrieval and sorting plate 400, and a drive mechanism 500, wherein: Several dividing baffles 300 are spaced apart on the upper end of the conveyor belt of the flow channel 110 in a manner parallel to the flow direction of the cooling water 112, for dividing the flow channel 110 into several sorting channels 120.
[0026] In this embodiment, several fixing rods 130 are horizontally placed between the two baffle plates 111, and several partition baffles 300 are welded and fixed to the lower side of the fixing rods 130, so that they can be suspended on the upper side of the conveyor belt of the plate chain conveyor 200 without affecting the conveying of the conveyor belt.
[0027] The scooping and sorting plate 400 corresponds to the partition baffle 300 and is located on its water-facing side. It has a guide slope 410 that, when in its lowest position, at least partially penetrates below the surface of the cooling water 112. The guide slope 410 extends downward at an angle in the opposite direction to the flow direction of the cooling water 112.
[0028] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide ramp 410 is a straight line that extends downwards at an angle from the side close to the partition baffle 300 toward the side away from the partition baffle 300. Therefore, when the scooping and sorting plate 400 is at its lowest position, its bottom contacts the end face of the conveyor belt. At this time, part of the guide ramp 410 is inserted below the surface of the cooling water 112, and part is above the surface of the cooling water 112. Thus, when the floating hot melt adhesive 700 moves to the entrance of the sorting channel 120, if it is accidentally blocked by the scooping and sorting plate 400, the packaging bag of the hot melt adhesive 700 will move to the position where the guide ramp 410 is exposed above the water surface. Driven by the water flow, with the contact position between the guide ramp 410 and the packaging bag of the hot melt adhesive 700 as the fulcrum, the packaging bag of the hot melt adhesive 700 will deflect toward one side of the scooping and sorting plate 400 and enter the sorting channel 120 on that side in a roughly vertical posture.
[0029] The drive mechanism 500 is used to drive the lifting and sorting plate 400 to move vertically up and down along the direction perpendicular to the flow of cooling water 112.
[0030] Therefore, if multiple hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bags are congested at the entrance of the sorting channel 120, the drive mechanism 500 will move the lifting and sorting plate 400 at that position upward to disperse the congested hot melt adhesive 700 and rearrange it. The hot melt adhesive 700 in the middle will enter the sorting channel 120 first after losing its limit. The hot melt adhesive 700 on both sides will also continue to enter after being lifted and sorted, thereby achieving the purpose of lifting and sorting so that it enters the sorting channel 120 in an orderly manner.
[0031] In this embodiment, five partition baffles 300 are designed to evenly divide the entire flow channel 110 into six smaller sorting channels 120.
[0032] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in this embodiment, five scooping and sorting plates 400 are arranged in a staggered manner to form scooping and sorting at different positions.
[0033] The staggered design increases the diagonal distance of the entrance, reduces the probability of hot melt adhesive 700 becoming congested in adjacent sorting channels 120, and allows hot melt adhesive 700 to smoothly enter the sorting channel 120 at the corresponding position.
[0034] Preferably, the spacing L between adjacent dividing baffles 300 is set to 1.5-2 times the width of the hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag.
[0035] In this embodiment, the spacing between adjacent partitions 300 is 1.5 times the width of the hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag. Thus, by limiting the width, the sorting channel 120 can only accommodate one hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag at the same position. If two are accidentally stacked, they can be tilted during the transmission process to make the stacked hot melt adhesive 700 fall off, thus always forming a stable posture for conveying a single hot melt adhesive 700.
[0036] Preferred, such as Figure 4 As shown, the guide slope 410 is composed of two symmetrically arranged guide surfaces 411 in a figure-eight shape.
[0037] Therefore, the figure-eight shaped guide surface 411 and the guide limiting plate 310 can play a good guiding and limiting role for the hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag, so that it can smoothly enter the sorting channel 120 in a uniform posture.
[0038] Preferably, the interior of the sorting plate 400 is hollow to form a cavity 420, and the side of the plate close to the partition baffle 300 and the bottom surface are hollowed out to form a clearance slot 430. The partition baffle 300 is provided with guide limiting plates 310 on both sides, which extend obliquely along the clearance slot 430 into the cavity 420. In this embodiment, the two guide limiting plates 310 are distributed in a figure-eight shape.
[0039] Thus, the guide limiting plate 310 extending into the cavity 420 can form a guide limiting with the lifting and sorting plate 400, so that the guide limiting plate 310 can be further stabilized in the vertical direction.
[0040] Preferably, the driving mechanism 500 is a cylinder 510 or a lead screw mechanism. In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 500 is a cylinder 510. The output shaft 511 of the cylinder 510 is fixed to the upper end of the lifting and sorting plate 400, and its output end is fixed with a connecting plate 520 extending horizontally to one side. The connecting plate 520 is provided with a linear bearing 530, and the upper end of the lifting and sorting plate 400 is provided with a guide shaft 540 that cooperates with the linear bearing 530.
[0041] The guide shaft 540 and linear bearing 530 can further guide the lifting and lowering process of the retrieval and sorting plate 400, making the retrieval work smoother.
[0042] Preferred, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown, it also includes a water flow device 600, which is located on the water-facing side of the lifting and sorting plate 400 and includes a water supply pipe 610, a water pump 620, a water outlet pipe 630, and a nozzle device 640. The water outlet pipe 630 is arranged perpendicular to the flow channel 110 and introduces circulating cooling water 112 through the water pump 620 and the water supply pipe 610. The nozzle device 640 is located on the side of the water outlet pipe 630 facing the lifting and sorting plate 400 and is used to spray the circulating cooling water 112 to drive the hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag forward along the flow channel 110.
[0043] In this embodiment, the nozzle device 640 is a brush-type nozzle, which forms several straight water jets at its front water outlet position. In conjunction with slightly tilting the nozzle device 640 downwards, it forms an attitude of spraying towards the surface of the cooling water 112, so that the cooling water 112 sprayed by the nozzle device 640 can be used to further drive the hot melt adhesive 700, so that it can smoothly enter the lifting and sorting range of the lifting and sorting plate 400.
[0044] In particular, in order to prevent the cooling water 112 from splashing up and affecting the normal operation of the cylinder 510, a baffle plate 800 extending downward along the top of the flow channel 110 is provided between the lifting and sorting plate 400 and the water flow device 600. In this embodiment, the baffle plate 800 is an acrylic plate or other transparent plate, which facilitates water blocking and observation.
[0045] In addition, the guide ramp 410 can also be curved, as long as it can contact and guide the hot melt adhesive 700, there is no limitation here.
[0046] The working principle, process, and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During operation, the dividing baffle 300 subdivides the flow channel 110 into multiple sorting channels 120. When the hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag reaches the inlet of the sorting channel 120 with the water flow, it may get stuck at the inlet due to its posture. At this time, the drive mechanism 500 drives the lifting and sorting plate 400 to move vertically up and down. The guide slope 410 of the lifting and sorting plate 400 will help to sort the hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag stuck at the inlet. The figure-eight shaped guide surface 411 and the guide limiting plate 310 can play a good guiding and limiting role for the hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag, so that it can smoothly enter the sorting channel 120 with a uniform posture. The circulating cooling water 112 sprayed by the water flow device 600 provides power for the forward movement of the hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bag, ensuring that it moves in an orderly manner within the flow channel 110.
[0047] In summary, through the above structural design, this utility model enables hot melt adhesive 700 packaging bags to enter the sorting channel 120 in a uniform manner, facilitating subsequent uniform packing without the need for additional manual assistance. This not only improves operational convenience but also helps save costs, demonstrating high practical value in the cooling and shaping stage of hot melt adhesive 700 production.
[0048] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
