Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corrugated cardboard production technology, and in particular to a single-wall steam spray box. Background Technology
[0002] Moisture control is a critical step in the production of cardboard. If moisture is lost, uneven drying can occur inside the cardboard, leading to warping and deformation, thus affecting product quality. While traditional cold water spraying can effectively replenish lost moisture and prevent warping, it also rapidly lowers the surface temperature of the cardboard, affecting the adhesive's bonding strength. This can result in a weak bond between the corrugated and linerboard, even causing delamination, and ultimately reducing the cardboard's strength and durability. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide a single-watt steam spray box. This invention replenishes the moisture of the cardboard by spraying steam, effectively solving the problem of cardboard warping caused by lack of water, while avoiding lowering the surface temperature of the cardboard and not affecting the gluing effect.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a single-watt steam spray box, comprising:
[0005] The steam injection box body has several independently operating steam chambers inside. Several first steam outlet holes communicating with the steam chambers are provided at the top of the steam injection box body. Water outlets communicating with the steam chambers are provided on the opposite sides of the steam injection box body.
[0006] A plurality of steam pipes, each steam pipe including an external connection and a steam outlet, the steam outlet being connected to the interior of the steam chamber, and a plurality of second steam outlet holes being provided on the steam outlet for providing steam input to the steam chamber.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes partitions inserted into the steam injection box body, dividing the steam injection box body into several independent steam chambers. The partitions create several independent steam chambers inside the steam injection box body, ensuring that the steam in each chamber is evenly distributed and does not interfere with each other. This allows for precise control of moisture replenishment in different areas of the cardboard, thereby effectively improving the overall quality and stability of the cardboard.
[0008] Furthermore, the partition is made of a high-temperature resistant material, and a first mounting groove for inserting the partition is provided inside the steam injection box. The partition's high-temperature resistant material ensures stable operation in high-temperature steam environments, resists deformation, extends service life, and improves equipment reliability. Simultaneously, it allows for flexible partition design, enabling adjustment of chamber size according to cardboard dimensions to adapt to different production needs. The partition is installed in the first mounting groove via an insert-in method. Preferably, a sealing element can be installed in the first mounting groove to strengthen the fixation of the partition, prevent steam leakage, ensure the independence and sealing of each chamber, further optimize the uniformity of steam distribution, and improve the accuracy of cardboard moisture replenishment.
[0009] Furthermore, the partition plate is provided with several first through holes for the steam pipes to pass through, and sealing rings are provided on the first through holes. The first through holes allow the steam pipes to pass through their respective matching steam chambers, ensuring that each steam pipe is dedicated to one steam chamber. This design allows each chamber to be evenly supplied with steam and supports independent operation, improving both moisture replenishment efficiency and operational flexibility. In addition, the position of the first through holes can be flexibly adjusted according to production needs to adapt to the processing requirements of different specifications of cardboard, further improving the applicability and production adaptability of the equipment.
[0010] Furthermore, each steam pipe is configured one-to-one with a steam chamber, and the second steam outlet of the steam pipe is located inside the corresponding steam chamber. This design, with one independent steam pipe per steam chamber, makes steam input more precise and controllable.
[0011] Furthermore, each steam chamber is equipped with a corresponding water outlet, all located at the lower end of the side of the steam jet box. The water outlet's location at the bottom of the steam jet box facilitates the concentrated discharge of condensate, preventing water accumulation from affecting steam distribution or causing the cardboard to become damp. The water outlet can be connected to an external drainage system to ensure smooth drainage and improve the stability and safety of equipment operation. Simultaneously, the water outlet design, combined with the independence of each chamber, allows for more precise moisture control in each area, further ensuring uniform heating and stable forming of the cardboard during processing, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0012] Furthermore, the outlet is equipped with an adjustable valve. The opening and closing of the outlet can be controlled by setting the valve, and the discharge rhythm of condensate can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the valve to avoid steam loss or affecting the steam pressure balance in the chamber.
[0013] Furthermore, the first steam outlet holes are distributed in an equidistant array at the top of the steam injection box. This improves the uniformity of steam distribution, ensuring that the cardboard in each area can fully absorb moisture, thus improving the overall processing quality. This array distribution, combined with the independent control function of the steam chamber, makes steam release more stable and efficient. In addition, the equidistant arrangement helps reduce steam flow resistance, improve thermal energy utilization efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and achieve the goal of energy conservation and environmental protection.
[0014] Furthermore, the first steam outlet is a conical orifice. The conical orifice design increases the speed of steam ejection, allowing the steam to more evenly cover the surface of the cardboard, thereby enhancing the moisture penetration effect.
[0015] Furthermore, the outer portion is externally wrapped with a heat insulation layer, which is a component made of heat-insulating material. Made of high-temperature resistant material, it effectively reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] This utility model divides the steam injection box into four independent steam chambers using partitions. Each steam chamber has a first steam hole and is individually connected to a steam pipe. Each steam pipe has multiple evenly distributed second steam holes at its steam outlet within its respective steam chamber. This allows steam to fill the steam chamber. Once the entire steam chamber is filled, the steam is ejected through the first steam holes onto the cardboard, increasing its moisture content without lowering its temperature. During operation, condensate forms within the steam chambers and is discharged into an external drainage system through outlet holes. This allows for precise regulation of humidity and temperature in different areas of the cardboard. This structural design not only improves steam utilization efficiency but also significantly enhances the equipment's adaptability to different cardboard specifications, further meeting diverse production needs.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 The present invention discloses a single-watt steam spray box, comprising a steam spray box body 1, a partition 2, and a steam pipe 3;
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, several independently operating steam chambers 11 are formed inside the steam injection box 1. Specifically, partitions 2 are set inside the steam injection box 1 to divide the internal space of the steam injection box 1 into multiple independent steam chambers 11. Preferably, in this embodiment, a total of three partitions 2 are set to divide the internal space of the steam injection box 1 into four steam chambers 11. Each steam chamber 11 has the same length, thereby realizing that each steam chamber 11 acts on a different area, so as to accurately control the moisture replenishment of each area of the cardboard, thereby effectively improving the overall quality and stability of the cardboard.
[0031] For the partition 2, since the partition 2 needs to have good high temperature resistance and sealing performance to ensure effective isolation between the steam chambers 11, in this embodiment, the partition 2 is made of high temperature resistant silicone material, and by setting a first mounting groove (not shown in the figure) inside the steam injection box 1, the partition 2 is fixed inside the steam injection box 1 in an embedded installation manner to ensure that its structure is stable and not easily displaced; in addition, in order to further improve the sealing effect of the partition 2, a sealing element, such as an elastic sealing strip made of silicone material, can be filled in the first mounting groove to make the partition 2 fit tightly with the steam injection box 1, thereby preventing steam leakage and improving steam utilization.
[0032] A plurality of first steam outlet holes 12 communicating with steam chambers 11 are provided at the top of the steam injection box body 1. The first steam outlet holes 12 are distributed in an equidistant array at the top of the steam injection box body 1. Preferably, the area where the first steam outlet holes 12 are provided covers all steam chambers 11, thereby improving the uniformity of steam distribution and ensuring that the cardboard in each area can fully absorb moisture, thereby improving the overall processing quality. This array distribution method, combined with the independent control function of the steam chambers 11, makes the steam release more stable, efficient and controllable, thereby avoiding the problem of cardboard deformation or strength reduction caused by uneven steam distribution.
[0033] In some embodiments, the first steam outlet 12 is a tapered orifice. The tapered orifice configuration can increase the speed of steam ejection, allowing the steam to cover the cardboard surface more evenly, thereby enhancing the moisture penetration effect.
[0034] The steam injection box 1 has an outlet 13 on its opposite side that communicates with the steam chamber 11, specifically as follows: Figure 1 As shown, each steam chamber 11 is provided with a corresponding water outlet 13. The water outlet 13 is located at the lower end of the side of the steam injection box 1, which facilitates the centralized discharge of condensate and avoids water accumulation affecting the steam distribution or causing the cardboard to become damp. Preferably, the water outlet 13 can be connected to an external drainage system to ensure smooth drainage and improve the stability and safety of equipment operation.
[0035] In some embodiments, the outlet 13 is equipped with an adjustable valve, which can control the opening and closing of the outlet 13. By adjusting the valve, the discharge rhythm of condensate can be flexibly controlled to avoid steam loss or affecting the steam pressure balance in the chamber.
[0036] like Figure 2 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the steam pipe 3 includes an external connection 31 and a steam outlet 32. The steam outlet 32 passes through the interior of the steam chamber 11. Several second steam outlet holes 33 are provided on the steam outlet 32 to provide steam input to the steam chamber 11. Preferably, in this embodiment, a total of four steam pipes 3 are provided: a first steam pipe 34, a second steam pipe 35, a third steam pipe 36, and a fourth steam pipe 37. Several first through holes 21 for passing through the steam pipes 3 are provided on each partition 2, and the number of first through holes 21 matches the number of steam pipes 3. In this embodiment, each steam pipe 3 is configured one-to-one with a steam chamber 11. The second steam outlet holes 33 of the steam pipe 3 are located inside the corresponding steam chamber 11. As shown in the figure, the external connection 31 of the first steam pipe 34 is fixed to the left end of the steam injection box 1. The steam outlet 32 of the first steam pipe 34 passes through the interior of the first steam chamber 11. The end of the first steam pipe 34 is fixedly connected to the corresponding first through hole 21 of the first partition 2. The outer part 31 of the second steam pipe 35 is fixedly connected to the left end of the steam injection box 1, and the outer part 31 extends and passes through the first through hole 21 of the first partition 2, so that the steam outlet 32 of the second steam pipe 3 is placed inside the second steam chamber 11 and fixedly connected to the first through hole 21 of the second partition 2. Similarly, the third steam pipe 36 corresponds to the third steam chamber 11, and the fourth steam pipe 37 corresponds to the fourth steam chamber 11. Each steam pipe 3 is independent of each other, which makes it easy to control the steam input of each steam chamber 11 separately. Through this structural design, not only is the uniformity of steam distribution improved, but the stability and adjustability of the system are also enhanced to adapt to different processing requirements.
[0037] Preferably, the outer part 31 is wrapped with a heat insulation layer, which is a component made of heat insulation material. It is made of high temperature resistant material, which effectively reduces heat loss and improves energy utilization efficiency.
[0038] To prevent steam leakage at the connection between the first through hole 21 on the partition 2 and the steam pipe 3, a sealing ring is provided on the first through hole 21. Preferably, a high-temperature resistant elastic sealing ring is used, such as a sealing ring made of silicone material.
[0039] In summary, the working principle of this invention is as follows: During use, steam can be supplied to each steam pipe 3 via an external steam source. The steam is then evenly introduced into the corresponding steam chamber 11 through the second steam outlet 33 of each pipe, creating a stable steam environment in the steam chamber 11. After the steam chamber 11 is filled with steam, the steam is evenly sprayed out from the first steam outlet 12 onto the corresponding area of the paper, increasing the moisture content of the paperboard without lowering its temperature, preventing warping, and ensuring the proper adhesion of the adhesive inside the paper. During equipment operation, condensate is discharged through the drain outlet, and the discharge rhythm can be adjusted and controlled by the valve to ensure that the steam pressure in the chamber is balanced and does not fluctuate. The sealing structure on the partition 2 effectively prevents steam leakage from the through-holes, ensuring overall sealing performance, while the heat insulation layer reduces heat loss and improves thermal energy utilization efficiency.
[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
