Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plate feeding machine technology, specifically a plate feeding machine for foam brick machines. Background Technology
[0002] Foam bricks, as a lightweight, heat-insulating, and thermally insulating new type of wall building material, are widely used in construction projects, interior decoration, and other fields, with market demand continuing to increase. Correspondingly, automated foam brick molding equipment has become one of the core pieces of equipment in the building materials production field. Currently, the molding process of conventional foam brick machines is relatively traditional. In the mold molding process, a separate operation mode is generally adopted, where the pallet is transported separately and the foam core is placed manually. The specific operation process is as follows: the equipment first transports an empty pallet to the molding station directly below the mold. Then, the operator manually picks up the foam cores and places them one by one into the designated molding position on the pallet. After the foam cores are placed, the operator manually triggers the equipment's operating command, driving the mold to press down and precisely embed the foam cores into the mold, completing the initial molding of the foam brick.
[0003] While this traditional method can achieve basic foam brick molding, it reveals several significant drawbacks in actual industrial-scale mass production, severely restricting production efficiency and quality stability. Firstly, the process is cumbersome and lacks automation. The entire foam core feeding and positioning process relies entirely on manual operation, requiring continuous monitoring by dedicated personnel. This not only consumes a large amount of labor, increasing labor costs, but also prevents the manual material handling rhythm from matching the machine's operating rhythm, leading to frequent equipment downtime, poor production continuity, and a slow overall production pace, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale mass production. Secondly, the precision of manual placement is inconsistent. The operator's experience, focus, and operational status all affect the placement and flatness of the foam core, easily resulting in problems such as foam core misalignment, tilting, and misplacement. This leads to defective and scrap products during subsequent mold pressing, significantly increasing the product defect rate and reducing the stability of finished product quality. Third, prolonged repetitive manual labor can easily lead to fatigue, which not only further reduces work efficiency and placement accuracy, but also poses safety hazards such as hand bumps and crushing, resulting in low equipment safety and production reliability. Fourth, the separate conveying and manual feeding operation mode involves fragmented processes, with time-consuming connections between each operation, resulting in a fragmented overall production process. It is impossible to achieve integrated synchronous conveying of pallets and foam cores, which greatly limits the overall molding capacity of foam brick machines.
[0004] In summary, the existing foam brick forming process, which involves manually placing the foam core, suffers from numerous technical drawbacks, including low production efficiency, high labor costs, unstable product quality, poor production safety, and insufficient automation. These drawbacks make it difficult to meet the demands of modern, automated, and large-scale foam brick production. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a foam brick machine feeding machine that can effectively solve the aforementioned technical problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0013] This utility model provides a foam brick machine feeding machine. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model, through its dual-layer synchronous conveying structure of pallet conveying mechanism and foam board conveying mechanism, fundamentally changes the traditional separate operation mode of foam brick machines that manually place foam cores, significantly improving the automation level and operational efficiency of the foam brick forming process. The equipment can achieve layered and synchronous conveying of foam boards and pallets. Foam cores are pre-placed uniformly on the foam board and automatically delivered to the bottom of the mold by the mechanical structure, eliminating the need for manual placement of each piece at the workstation. This eliminates tedious steps such as manual material loading, positioning, waiting, and triggering, greatly improving the continuity of equipment operation, effectively shortening the production cycle, meeting the needs of large-scale and continuous production, and reducing labor intensity and labor costs.
[0015] 2. This utility model achieves precise conveying through a combination of mechanical transmission and guide rail guidance. Both the foam board traveling frame and the translation frame components utilize guide rails, rollers, and guide wheels for stable movement and accurate positioning. This ensures uniform and orderly placement of the foam cores, avoiding issues such as offset, tilting, and misalignment caused by manual placement. This effectively reduces the rate of defective and scrap products, improving the stability and consistency of foam brick quality. Simultaneously, the fully automated mechanical operation replaces close-range manual handling, eliminating safety hazards such as hand injuries and compression for operators, significantly improving equipment safety and production reliability.
[0016] 3. This utility model features a reasonable structural layout and stable and reliable operation. The double-layer conveyor mechanism operates independently yet collaboratively, with smooth connection between pallet pushing and foam board conveying. It can be quickly adapted to the forming station of existing foam brick machines, resulting in low modification and usage costs. The equipment has a high degree of overall automation, requiring no continuous on-site personnel. It effectively simplifies the production process, optimizes process connections, and comprehensively improves the overall forming capacity and production efficiency of the foam brick machine, better meeting the needs of modern, automated building materials production lines.

Next, the feeding cylinder 21 drives the translation frame 22 forward. As the translation frame 22 moves forward, the baffle plate 26 pushes the pallet inside the bamboo board box 11 forward and moves it under the foam board traveling frame 3, completing the pallet transport. Afterward, the mold presses down to fix the foam cores. The first motor 41 drives the drive shaft 43 to rotate, driving the chain 42 to pull the foam base plate 31 backward to reset it. The mold then continues to descend and move onto the pallet, preparing for the next pressing and molding process.
