Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flattening machine technology, specifically a flattening machine. Background Technology
[0002] Slippers, a common type of footwear, feature a unique structure with no upper at the back and are typically worn indoors. Cotton slippers, a significant branch of slippers, are named for their key material: cotton. The addition of cotton gives cotton slippers their softness, warmth, and other excellent properties, making them popular with consumers. Cotton fabric is an indispensable component in the production and processing of cotton slippers. However, cotton fabric is prone to wrinkling, which negatively impacts subsequent processing and the final product quality. From a processing perspective, wrinkles lead to inaccurate dimensions during cutting, increasing cutting difficulty and waste rate. During sewing, wrinkles cause uneven stitching, affecting sewing quality and reducing production efficiency. While some equipment exists for flattening materials, the temperature distribution of the flattening components in some machines is uneven, resulting in uneven heating of the cotton fabric during flattening. Some areas are flattened well, while others are insufficiently flattened, failing to achieve the desired flattening effect. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a flattening machine, comprising: a support box 1; a support frame 2 bolted to the top of the support box 1; a belt conveyor 3 disposed inside the support frame 2; a fixed bracket 4 bolted to the top of the support box 1, a first cylinder 5 bolted to the top of the fixed bracket 4, and a bottom fixed support plate 6 fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 5; a bottom fixed support box 8 bolted to the bottom of the bottom fixed support plate 6, and a bottom fixed plate 9 bolted to the bottom of the bottom fixed support plate 6; water-conducting support pipes 12 rotatably disposed inside both the bottom fixed support box 8 and the bottom fixed plate 9; a heat-conducting pressure roller 14 fixedly connected between the two water-conducting support pipes 12; a uniform liquid guiding part disposed inside the heat-conducting pressure roller 14; a guide part disposed on the support frame 2; an inner baffle 27 bolted to the inner side of the support frame 2, the inner baffle 27 cooperating with the belt conveyor 3; and auxiliary pressure rollers 24 symmetrically disposed above the belt conveyor 3.
[0028] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the support frame 2 is bolted to the top of the support box 1, and the belt conveyor 3 is located inside the support frame 2. After the equipment is started, the belt conveyor 3 starts to run. The material to be flattened is placed on the belt conveyor 3, and the material is conveyed forward with the movement of the belt. The guide part is located on the support frame 2 and consists of a second cylinder 17, a guide plate 18, and a second limiting rod 19. The second cylinder 17 is bolted to both sides of the support frame 2. The output end of the second cylinder 17 is fixed to the guide plate 18. The second limiting rod 19 is symmetrically fixed to one side of the guide plate 18, and the second limiting rod 19 is slidably connected to the support frame 2. According to the width of the material, the second cylinder 17 drives the guide plate 18 to move and adjust the position of the guide plate 18 to guide the material, ensuring that the material is accurately conveyed along the predetermined path on the belt conveyor 3, preventing the material from deviating, and ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent flattening operation. The auxiliary pressure roller 24 is symmetrically placed above the belt conveyor 3, and fixed support rods 23 are rotatably set at both ends of the roller. The bottom of the fixed support rod 23 is fixedly connected to the limit slide rod 21, and the outer side of the limit slide rod 21 is slidably set with the adjustment bracket 20, which is slidably connected to the support frame 2. A spring 22 is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting slide rod 21. One end of the spring 22 is connected to the adjusting bracket 20, and the other end is connected to the limiting slide rod 21. Two movable openings are symmetrically opened inside the adjusting bracket 20. A clamping bolt 25 is provided on the inner side of the movable opening. The clamping bolt 25 is threadedly installed with the support frame 2, and a washer 26 is provided on the outer side of the clamping bolt 25. When the material thickness is different, the elasticity of the spring 22 allows the auxiliary pressure roller 24 to automatically adjust its height according to the thickness of the material being flattened. At the same time, the position of the adjusting bracket 20 can be finely adjusted by rotating the clamping bolt 25, thereby precisely adjusting the height of the auxiliary pressure roller 24 to achieve flexible flattening of materials of different thicknesses, avoiding damage to the material due to excessive pressure or poor flattening effect due to insufficient pressure. The fixed bracket 4 is installed on the top of the support box 1 by bolts. A cylinder 5 is installed on the top of the fixed bracket 4 by bolts. The output end of the cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom. A fixed support plate 6 and a bottom fixed support box 8 are bolted to the bottom of the bottom fixed support plate 6. A bottom fixed plate 9 is bolted to the bottom of the bottom fixed support plate 6. Water-passing support pipes 12 are rotatably installed inside both the bottom fixed support box 8 and the bottom fixed plate 9. A heat-conducting pressure roller 14 is fixedly connected between two water-passing support pipes 12. Four first-position limit rods 7 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the bottom fixed support plate 6, and the first-position limit rods 7 are slidably connected to the fixed bracket 4. When the first cylinder 5 is activated, it drives the bottom fixed support plate 6 to move downward, causing the heat-conducting pressure roller 14 to move downward and approach the material on the belt conveyor 3. The first-position limit rods 7 are slidably connected to the fixed bracket 4, which guides and limits the up and down movement of the bottom fixed support plate 6, ensuring that the bottom fixed support plate 6 can move smoothly and accurately in the vertical direction, and ensuring uniform pressure between the heat-conducting pressure roller 14 and the belt conveyor 3. Two interconnected water chambers 15 are symmetrically opened inside the heat-conducting pressure roller 14.Multiple branch water channels 16 are equidistantly arranged between two connected water chambers 15. A water-passing support pipe 12 is connected to the connected water chambers 15. A rotary joint 28 is installed at one end of the water-passing support pipe 12, and a water-passing pipe 29 is installed at the other end of the rotary joint 28. Hot water enters the water-passing support pipe 12 through the water-passing pipe 29 and the rotary joint 28, and then flows into the connected water chambers 15 and the branch water channels 16. This allows the hot water to be evenly distributed inside the heat-conducting pressure roller 14, ensuring a uniform surface temperature of the heat-conducting pressure roller 14, thereby improving the heating effect on the material and making the material more evenly heated during the flattening process, enhancing the flattening effect. A second pulley 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the water-passing support pipes 12, and a first pulley 10 is rotatably installed inside the bottom fixed support box 8. The first pulley 10 and the second pulley 13 are connected by a belt drive. A servo motor 11 is bolted to the bottom of the fixed support plate 6. The output end of the servo motor 11 is fixed to the first pulley 10. When the servo motor 11 starts, it drives the water-passing support pipe 12 to rotate via the first pulley 10, the belt, and the second pulley 13, thereby causing the heat-conducting pressure roller 14 to rotate. This rolls and flattens the material conveyed below the heat-conducting pressure roller 14. The servo motor 11 can precisely control the speed to meet the flattening requirements of different materials, improving the stability and reliability of the equipment operation. The inner baffle 27 is bolted to the inside of the support frame 2 and cooperates with the belt conveyor 3. The inner baffle 27 can block the material and prevent it from shifting during the flattening process. The auxiliary pressure roller 24 works together with the heat-conducting pressure roller 14 to assist in flattening the material, further improving the flattening quality. After being flattened by the heat-conducting pressure roller 14 and the auxiliary pressure roller 24, the material continues to be conveyed forward by the belt conveyor 3, completing the entire flattening process.
[0029] The specific architecture and operating logic of the cylinder, servo motor 11, and belt conveyor 3 in this application, which are all controlled collaboratively by an external controller, are consistent with the existing technology in this field. The servo motor 11 used is equipped with an encoder, which can provide real-time feedback on the speed, position, and other information of the servo motor 11. This control method has been maturely applied in many similar industrial scenarios, so it will not be discussed in detail here.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, both ends of the auxiliary pressure roller 24 are rotatably equipped with fixed support rods 23. The bottom of the fixed support rods 23 is fixedly connected to a limiting slide rod 21. An adjusting bracket 20 is slidably arranged on the outside of the limiting slide rod 21. The adjusting bracket 20 is slidably connected to the support frame 2. A spring 22 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting slide rod 21. One end of the spring 22 is connected to the adjusting bracket 20, and the other end of the spring 22 is connected to the limiting slide rod 21. Two movable openings are symmetrically opened inside the adjusting bracket 20. A clamping bolt 25 is provided on the inside of the movable opening. The clamping bolt 25 is threadedly installed with the support frame 2. A washer 26 is provided on the outside of the clamping bolt 25.
[0031] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic action of the spring 22 enables the auxiliary pressure roller 24 to adjust its height according to the thickness of the material being flattened, thereby achieving flexible flattening of materials of different thicknesses and avoiding damage to the material due to excessive pressure or poor flattening effect due to insufficient pressure.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the uniform liquid guiding part includes a connecting water cavity 15 and a branch water channel 16. The heat-conducting pressure roller 14 has two symmetrically opened connecting water cavities 15. Multiple branch water channels 16 are equally spaced between the two connecting water cavities 15. The water supply support pipe 12 is connected to the connecting water cavity 15. A rotary joint 28 is installed at one end of the water supply support pipe 12, and a water supply pipe 29 is installed at the other end of the rotary joint 28.
[0033] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the design of the connecting water cavity 15 and the branch water channel 16 allows hot water to be evenly distributed inside the heat-conducting pressure roller 14, ensuring that the surface temperature of the heat-conducting pressure roller 14 is uniform, thereby improving the heating effect on the material and making the material more evenly heated during the flattening process, thus enhancing the flattening effect. The setting of the rotary joint 28 and the water pipe 29 facilitates the continuous supply of hot water when the heat-conducting pressure roller 14 rotates.
[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the guide part includes a second cylinder 17, a guide plate 18, and a second limiting rod 19. The second cylinder 17 is bolted to both sides of the support frame 2. The output end of the second cylinder 17 is fixed to the guide plate 18. The second limiting rod 19 is symmetrically fixed to one side of the guide plate 18. The second limiting rod 19 is slidably connected to the support frame 2.
[0035] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second cylinder 17 drives the guide plate 18 to move, and the position of the guide plate 18 can be adjusted according to the width of the material to guide the material, ensure that the material is accurately conveyed on the belt conveyor 3, prevent the material from running off-center, and ensure the accuracy of the flattening position.
[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a second pulley 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the water supply support pipes 12, and a first pulley 10 is rotatably installed inside the bottom fixed support box 8. The first pulley 10 and the second pulley 13 are connected by belt drive. A servo motor 11 is bolted to the bottom of the bottom fixed support plate 6, and the output end of the servo motor 11 is fixedly connected to the first pulley 10.
[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the servo motor 11 drives the water-passing support pipe 12 to rotate through the first pulley 10, the belt and the second pulley 13, thereby causing the heat-conducting pressure roller 14 to rotate and achieve rolling flattening of the material.
[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, four No. 1 limit rods 7 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the bottom fixed support plate 6, and the No. 1 limit rods 7 are slidably connected to the fixed bracket 4.
[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first limiting rod 7 is slidably connected to the fixed bracket 4, which guides and limits the up and down movement of the bottom fixed support plate 6. This ensures that when the first cylinder 5 drives the bottom fixed support plate 6 to move, the bottom fixed support plate 6 can move smoothly and accurately in the vertical direction, ensuring uniform pressure between the heat-conducting pressure roller 14 and the belt conveyor 3, improving the flattening effect, and enhancing the stability of the equipment structure.
