Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slicing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a rubber slicing machine with a cutting blade positioning. Background Technology

[0002] In rubber compound processing, it is often necessary to cut the rubber compound into thin slices of specific sizes to meet the requirements of subsequent production processes. Traditional rubber compound slicing methods have many shortcomings, seriously affecting slicing efficiency and quality. For example, manual cutting not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of slice size, resulting in inconsistent product quality.

[0003] Some early slicing devices, such as the tire rubber sample slicing machine disclosed in patent publication number CN201881415U, while achieving a certain degree of automated slicing, had significant shortcomings in the accuracy and flexibility of cutter positioning. This device used a cylinder to push a ring-shaped blade downwards for cutting, which made it difficult to achieve precise positioning and cutting when dealing with rubber compounds of different shapes and sizes, easily leading to material waste and low slicing efficiency. With continuous technological advancements, higher demands are placed on the cutter positioning accuracy, slicing efficiency, and adaptability to different rubber compounds in rubber slicing machines. Therefore, developing a slicing machine capable of precise cutter positioning, high efficiency, and adaptability to various rubber compounds is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rubber slicing machine with a cutting blade positioning, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are difficult to accurately position and cut when facing rubber materials of different shapes and sizes, which easily leads to rubber material waste and low slicing efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rubber slicing machine with a cutting blade positioning, including a processing platform. A material trough is installed on the top of the processing platform, and an adsorption platform is installed on the inner bottom wall of the material trough. Material is adsorbed and fixed on the adsorption platform. An X-axis lead screw slide and a Y-axis lead screw slide are installed on the top of the material trough. The driving end of the X-axis lead screw slide drives the Y-axis lead screw slide to move in the X direction, and the driving end of the Y-axis lead screw slide drives the cutting component to move in the Y direction.

[0006] This setup utilizes the transmission principle of a lead screw slide. The X-axis lead screw slide is driven by a motor to rotate the lead screw, converting the motor's rotational motion into linear motion, which in turn drives the connected Y-axis lead screw slide to translate in the X direction. Similarly, the Y-axis lead screw slide uses the same principle to move the cutting component in the Y direction. The adsorption platform is based on the principle of negative pressure adsorption. A negative pressure pump draws air from the negative pressure chamber to create negative pressure, causing the material to be adsorbed and fixed on the adsorption platform under atmospheric pressure.

[0007] Preferably, the cutting component includes a movable seat, which is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the Y-axis lead screw slide. A cutter seat is mounted on the inner side of the movable seat, and a cutter is provided on the inner top wall of the cutter seat.

[0008] This configuration uses a movable base as the carrier of the cutting component, mounted on a Y-axis lead screw slide, and moves in tandem with the movement of the Y-axis lead screw slide. The cutter holder is mounted on the inner top wall of the movable base, providing a mounting position for the cutter. These three components form a collaboratively movable cutting assembly, positioned above the material by the drive of the Y-axis and X-axis lead screw slides.

[0009] Preferably, the inner side walls of the cutter holder are provided with sliding grooves, and the top of both sides of the cutter are equipped with sliders, which are respectively inserted into the two sliding grooves for sliding engagement.

[0010] This feature allows the slider to slide smoothly within the groove when the cutter is subjected to external force. This structure allows for a certain degree of vertical displacement adjustment of the cutter to adapt to different working conditions.

[0011] Preferably, a spring is installed on the top of the cutter, the top of the spring abuts against the inner top wall of the movable seat, and the bottom of the cutter is a cutting tip.

[0012] This feature involves a spring installed between the top of the cutter and the inner top wall of the moving base. When the cutter cuts the rubber material downwards, if it encounters significant resistance, the cutter compresses the spring upwards, generating a counter-force. When the resistance decreases, the spring releases its force, pushing the cutter back to its original position. The cutting tip design at the bottom of the cutter concentrates the cutting force within a smaller contact area, facilitating cutting into the rubber material.

[0013] Preferably, the adsorption platform includes an adsorption plate with a plurality of negative pressure holes on its top surface. A negative pressure chamber is provided at the bottom of the adsorption plate, and a negative pressure pump is installed on one outer wall of the negative pressure chamber. The negative pressure pump creates a negative pressure inside the negative pressure chamber, and the material is adsorbed through the negative pressure holes.

[0014] When the negative pressure pump is working, it extracts air from the negative pressure chamber, making the air pressure inside the chamber lower than the outside atmospheric pressure, thus creating a negative pressure environment. The negative pressure holes on the top surface of the adsorption plate are connected to the negative pressure chamber. Under the action of pressure difference, outside air flows into the negative pressure chamber through the negative pressure holes, thereby tightly adsorbing the material placed on the adsorption plate.

[0015] Preferably, a support column is installed at the bottom of the adsorption plate, and the support column is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the material tank.

[0016] This feature involves installing support columns at the bottom of the adsorption plate, supporting the adsorption plate at a certain height inside the material tank. This ensures that there is space between the adsorption plate and the bottom of the material tank for arranging structures such as negative pressure chambers, while also providing stable support for the adsorption plate to prevent displacement or shaking during operation.

[0017] Preferably, a control panel is installed on the outer front side of the processing platform.

[0018] This control panel serves as the central control unit of the equipment, integrating various control buttons, displays, and other components. It is connected to the various actuators of the equipment (such as the X-axis lead screw slide, Y-axis lead screw slide, negative pressure pump, etc.) via circuitry. Operators can input commands through the control panel to control the operation of the equipment. Preferably, both the X-axis lead screw slide and the Y-axis lead screw slide are externally connected to the control panel, and the X-axis and Y-axis are driven by the control panel to drive the cutting component to perform slicing operation.

[0019] This setting connects the motor control circuits of the X-axis and Y-axis lead screw slides to the control panel. The control circuit in the control panel sends corresponding electrical signals to the motor driver according to the instructions input by the operator. The driver controls the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the motor, thereby driving the X-axis and Y-axis lead screw slides and moving the cutting parts.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This rubber compound slicing machine with cutter positioning employs a combined drive structure of X-axis and Y-axis lead screw slides. The control panel allows for precise control of the X and Y-axis movement of the cutting components in the horizontal plane, achieving accurate cutter positioning. Compared to the fixed-path cylinder-driven cutting method used in the tire rubber sample slicing machine (publication number CN201881415U), this equipment can flexibly adjust the cutting trajectory according to the rubber compound size and slicing requirements, effectively solving the problem of rubber compound waste caused by cutting position deviations in traditional equipment. It is particularly suitable for high-precision slicing of irregularly shaped or small-sized rubber compounds. The adsorption platform uses a negative pressure pump to create negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber, and utilizes the negative pressure holes on the top surface of the adsorption plate to uniformly adsorb and fix the adhesive material, avoiding the deformation or displacement of the adhesive material caused by traditional mechanical clamping methods. Even with soft and easily sticky adhesive materials, it can achieve stable clamping, ensuring that the adhesive material's posture remains unchanged during cutting. At the same time, the negative pressure adsorption method does not damage the surface of the adhesive material, effectively protecting the integrity of the material.

[0021] In the cutting component, the cutter slides into a groove on the cutter holder via a slider, and is cushioned by a spring. When the cutter contacts rubber materials of different hardness, the spring automatically adjusts the cutter pressure according to the cutting resistance, preventing the cutter from jamming or the slice from breaking due to differences in rubber hardness. For example, when cutting hard rubber, the spring compression increases to provide greater cutting force; when cutting soft rubber materials, the spring releases cushioning force to prevent over-cutting, significantly improving the equipment's adaptability to different types of rubber materials. This rubber slicing machine with cutter positioning integrates X-axis and Y-axis lead screw slide control via a control panel, enabling preset and automatic execution of the cutting path without manual adjustment of the cutting position. Simultaneously, the equipment eliminates the tedious steps of traditional manual positioning, reducing human error, ensuring consistency in continuous slicing, and lowering rework rates in subsequent processes.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] This utility model provides a rubber slicing machine with a cutting blade positioning function, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a processing platform 1, a material trough 2 installed on the top of the processing platform 1, an adsorption platform 6 installed on the inner bottom wall of the material trough 2, on which material is adsorbed and fixed. An X-axis lead screw slide 3 and a Y-axis lead screw slide 4 are installed on the top of the material trough 2. The driving end of the X-axis lead screw slide 3 drives the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 to move in the X direction, and the driving end of the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 drives the cutting component 5 to move in the Y direction.

[0025] In operation, utilizing the transmission principles of the X-axis lead screw slide 3 and the Y-axis lead screw slide 4, the X-axis lead screw slide 3 is driven by a motor to rotate the lead screw, converting the motor's rotational motion into linear motion, which in turn drives the connected Y-axis lead screw slide 4 to move in the X-axis direction; similarly, the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 drives the cutting component 5 to move in the Y-axis direction. The adsorption platform 6, based on the principle of negative pressure adsorption, uses related devices to adsorb and fix the material. This structural design enables precise movement of the cutting component 5 in a two-dimensional plane. Combined with the fixation of the material by the adsorption platform 6, the cutting path can be flexibly planned according to the size of the adhesive and the slicing requirements, significantly improving positioning accuracy and avoiding material waste caused by cutting position deviations. It is suitable for high-precision slicing of irregularly shaped or small-sized adhesives, while ensuring that the material does not shift during cutting, thus guaranteeing slice quality.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the cutting component 5 includes a movable seat 51, which is fixedly installed on the drive end of the Y-direction lead screw slide 4. A cutter seat 52 is installed on the inner top wall of the movable seat 51, and a cutter 53 is provided on the inner side of the cutter seat 52.

[0027] In use, the movable seat 51, serving as the carrier of the cutting component 5, is mounted on the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 and moves with it. The cutter holder 52 is mounted on the inner top wall of the movable seat 51, providing a mounting position for the cutter 53. The three components form a collaboratively moving cutting assembly, positioned above the material under the drive of the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 and the X-axis lead screw slide 3. This structural design allows the cutter 53 to accurately follow the movement trajectory of the lead screw slide. With combined X-axis and Y-axis movements, it can cut the rubber material at different positions within the material tank 2, improving the flexibility and accuracy of the cutting operation and ensuring that the cut covers all parts of the material.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner side of the cutter holder 52 has two sliding grooves 521 on both sides, and the top of both sides of the cutter 53 is equipped with sliders 531, which are inserted into the two sliding grooves 521 respectively for sliding cooperation.

[0029] In use, when the cutter 53 is subjected to external force, the slider 531 can slide smoothly within the groove 521, allowing the cutter 53 to make certain displacement adjustments in the vertical direction to adapt to different working conditions. This structural design provides the cutter 53 with room to maneuver. When the cutter 53 contacts the rubber material, if the surface of the rubber material is uneven or the cutting resistance changes, the cutter 53 can adaptively fine-tune itself by sliding within the groove 521 through the slider 531, avoiding excessive local resistance that could damage the cutter 53 or reduce the quality of the slices, thus enhancing its working stability in complex cutting environments.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, a spring 54 is installed on the top of the cutter 53. The top of the spring 54 abuts against the inner top wall of the movable seat 51. The bottom of the cutter 53 extends to the outside of the bottom opening of the movable seat 51. The bottom of the cutter 53 is the cutting tip.

[0031] In operation, spring 54 is installed between the top of cutter 53 and the inner top wall of movable seat 51. When cutter 53 encounters significant resistance while cutting the rubber material downwards, it compresses spring 54 upwards, generating a counter-force. When the resistance decreases, spring 54 releases its force, pushing cutter 53 back to its original position. The cutting tip at the bottom of cutter 53 concentrates cutting force within a small contact area, facilitating cutting into the rubber material. The elastic buffer of spring 54 allows cutter 53 to automatically adjust cutting pressure when cutting rubber materials of different hardness. For example, when cutting hard rubber, spring 54 compresses more, providing greater cutting force; when cutting soft rubber materials, the buffering force prevents cutter 53 from over-cutting, protecting the integrity of the rubber material and improving the equipment's adaptability to different rubber materials. The cutting tip also improves cutting efficiency and quality.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adsorption platform 6 includes an adsorption plate 61. The top surface of the adsorption plate 61 is provided with several negative pressure holes 611. A negative pressure chamber 62 is provided at the bottom of the adsorption plate 61. A negative pressure pump 64 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the negative pressure chamber 62. The negative pressure pump 64 creates a negative pressure inside the negative pressure chamber 62, and the material is adsorbed through the negative pressure holes 611.

[0033] During operation, the negative pressure pump 64 extracts air from the negative pressure chamber 62, creating a negative pressure below the external atmospheric pressure. The negative pressure holes 611 on the top surface of the adsorption plate 61 connect to the negative pressure chamber 62. Under the pressure difference, outside air flows through the negative pressure holes 611 to the negative pressure chamber 62, tightly adsorbing the material on the adsorption plate 61. This structural design can stably adsorb and fix adhesives of various shapes and textures, avoiding deformation or damage to the adhesives caused by traditional mechanical clamping. It can also firmly adsorb soft and easily sticky adhesives, ensuring stable adhesive posture during cutting, improving slice thickness uniformity by more than 30%, and effectively improving slice quality.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a support column 63 is installed at the bottom of the adsorption plate 61, and the support column 63 is fixed on the inner bottom wall of the material tank 2.

[0035] In use, the support column 63 is installed at the bottom of the adsorption plate 61, supporting the adsorption plate 61 at a certain height inside the material tank 2. This ensures that there is space between the adsorption plate 61 and the bottom of the material tank 2 to arrange structures such as the negative pressure chamber 62, while also providing stable support for the adsorption plate 61 to prevent displacement or shaking during operation. This structural design maintains the stability of the adsorption platform 6, ensuring the normal operation of the negative pressure adsorption function. The stable adsorption platform 6 improves the stability of material fixation, thereby enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the cutting operation, enabling the equipment to continuously and stably produce high-quality slices.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a control panel 7 is installed on the outer front side of the processing platform 1.

[0037] In use, the control panel 7 serves as the central control unit, integrating various control components. It is connected via circuitry to actuators such as the X-axis lead screw slide 3, Y-axis lead screw slide 4, and negative pressure pump 64. Operators can input commands to control the equipment's operation. This provides operators with a user-friendly human-machine interface, facilitating equipment start-up and shutdown, parameter settings, and control of the cutting component 5's movement trajectory. This improves the ease and operability of equipment operation, reducing the difficulty and workload for operators.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the X-axis lead screw slide 3 and the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 are both externally connected to the control panel 7. The X-axis and Y-axis are driven by the control panel 7, which drives the cutting component 5 to perform slicing operations.

[0039] In operation, the motor control circuits of the X-axis lead screw slide 3 and the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 are connected to the control panel 7. The control circuit within the control panel 7 sends electrical signals to the motor driver based on operator input commands. The driver controls the motor's forward and reverse rotation and speed, thereby driving the X-axis lead screw slide 3 and the Y-axis lead screw slide 4, which in turn move the cutting component 5. This structural design enables preset and automatic execution of the cutting path, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of the cutting position and significantly improving slicing efficiency. Single-batch slicing efficiency is increased by more than 50% compared to traditional equipment. Simultaneously, it reduces human error, ensures consistency in continuous slicing, lowers rework rates in subsequent processes, and improves overall production efficiency and product quality.

[0040] In operation, this rubber slicing machine with cutter positioning achieves slicing of the rubber material through the synergistic effect of mechanical transmission and negative pressure adsorption. The precise transmission of the X-axis lead screw slide 3 and Y-axis lead screw slide 4 converts the rotational motion of the motor into precise linear motion of the cutting component 5 in a two-dimensional plane, enabling flexible positioning of the cutter 53. Simultaneously, the negative pressure pump 64 creates negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 62, stably adsorbing and fixing the rubber material through the negative pressure holes 611 on the top surface of the adsorption plate 61. Combined with the elastic buffer structure of the cutter 53, it adapts to the cutting requirements of rubber materials with different hardnesses. Finally, the automated slicing operation is completed under the integrated control of the control panel 7. The operator places the adhesive material to be cut on the adsorption plate 61 of the adsorption platform 6 and starts the negative pressure pump 64 through the control panel 7. The negative pressure pump 64 draws air out of the negative pressure chamber 62, creating a negative pressure inside the chamber. The external atmospheric pressure then uses the negative pressure holes 611 on the adsorption plate 61 to firmly adhere the adhesive material to the top surface of the adsorption plate 61, ensuring that the adhesive material does not shift during the cutting process. The operator inputs cutting parameters, including slice size and cutting path, through the control panel 7 on the top outer side of the processing platform 1. The control panel 7 converts these parameters into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the motor drivers of the X-axis lead screw slide 3 and the Y-axis lead screw slide 4, respectively. Driven by a motor, the X-axis lead screw slide 3 rotates and drives the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 to translate along the X-axis, moving the cutting component 5 to the corresponding X-axis position of the area to be cut in the rubber material; then, the motor of the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 starts, driving the cutting component 5 to move along the Y-axis, so that the cutter 53 is precisely aligned with the cutting starting point. The cutting component 5 begins operation. Driven by the X-axis lead screw slide 3 and the Y-axis lead screw slide 4, the cutter 53 cuts along a preset path. When the cutter 53 contacts the rubber material, if the surface of the material is uneven or the cutting resistance changes, the slider 531 at the top of the cutter 53 will slide within the groove 521 on the inner wall of the cutter holder 52. Simultaneously, the spring 54 is compressed or extended, automatically adjusting the cutting pressure of the cutter 53 through elastic buffering. The cutting tip at the bottom of the cutter 53 concentrates the cutting force, smoothly cutting into the rubber material and completing the slicing action. Under the control of the control panel 7, the X-axis lead screw slide 3 and the Y-axis lead screw slide 4 continuously drive the cutting component 5 to move along the preset path, continuously cutting the adhesive material until all slicing operations are completed. After cutting, the operator turns off the negative pressure pump 64 through the control panel 7, the pressure in the negative pressure chamber 62 returns to normal, the adhesive material is no longer adsorbed, and the operator can remove the cut adhesive material, completing the entire slicing operation.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the electronic components in the control panel 7 and other components in this embodiment are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle part of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components are connected by wires. The specific connection method should refer to the working order of each electrical component in the above working principle to complete the electrical connection. All of these are technologies known in the art.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
