Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sponge cutting machine technology, and in particular to a workbench for a sponge cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the furniture manufacturing industry, sponge is a commonly used filling material. Its processing requires multiple cutting steps: first, large pieces of sponge are cut into sponge sheets with a preset thickness, and then the sponge sheets are transferred to a subsequent cutting device to be further cut into sponge blocks of specific width and length that meet the filling requirements of furniture.

[0003] Currently, most sponge cutting machines on the market include: a fixed worktable (for supporting the sponge to be cut), a lifting mechanism that can reciprocate along the length of the worktable, a gantry frame located at the output end of the lifting mechanism, and a ring cutter assembly fixed to the gantry frame. During operation, after the large piece of sponge to be cut is placed on the fixed worktable, the lifting mechanism moves the ring cutter assembly to the preset cutting height. Then, the gantry frame reciprocates along the worktable with the lifting mechanism. Through the combined translational and lifting motion of the ring cutter assembly, the large piece of sponge is horizontally cut into multiple sponge sheets of equal thickness. However, the existing sponge cutting machine has a single fixed worktable. After each cut, all the cut sponge pieces on the worktable must be transferred to the next process and the worktable must be emptied before a new large piece of sponge to be cut can be placed. During this process, the cutting machine needs to be stopped to wait for loading and unloading operations, resulting in long equipment downtime and low overall processing efficiency. At the same time, the cut sponge pieces are stacked, and operators cannot move all the sponge pieces as a whole. They can only move them one by one or in several pieces, which not only prolongs the transfer time but also increases the labor intensity of the operators. It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a worktable for a sponge cutting machine, which aims to solve the technical problems of long loading and unloading time and difficulty in transporting the cut sponge as a whole due to the use of a single worktable in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A worktable for a sponge cutting machine includes: The translation mechanism has two parallel worktables at its output end, and each worktable is equipped with a support component; A support plate for supporting the sponge to be cut, one support plate being placed on a support assembly of a workbench; the support plate is rectangular in shape, with hooks at both ends of each of its four sides, and hanging ropes connecting the hooks at adjacent ends of the sides; and Positioning components, one positioning component is set on one worktable to define the position of the support plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the translation mechanism includes two parallel tracks, two sets of wheels slidably connected to the tracks, a rack arranged parallel to the tracks, and two drive motors respectively mounted on the worktable. One set of wheels is correspondingly mounted on the bottom of a worktable, and each drive motor has a gear at its output end. The gear meshes with the rack to drive the worktable to move along the tracks.

[0007] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a fixed bar fixed in the middle of the worktable, and two movable bars that can move closer to or further away from the fixed bar, respectively; both the fixed bar and the movable bars extend along the translational direction of the worktable.

[0008] Furthermore, the worktable is provided with first threaded holes arranged in a matrix, and the movable bar is connected to any of the first threaded holes by a first screw to lock the position of the movable bar on the worktable.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning component includes several limiting strips respectively disposed around the bottom of the support plate, and several pushing devices corresponding to the positions of the limiting strips. The pushing device includes a base detachably connected to the worktable, a pushing mechanism disposed on the base, and a pushing plate disposed at the output end of the pushing mechanism. The pushing plate abuts against the limiting strips.

[0010] Furthermore, the ejection mechanism includes a guide rod slidably connected to the base and an adjusting screw threadedly connected to the base. One end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the push plate, one end of the adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the push plate, and the other end is provided with a handle.

[0011] Furthermore, the support plate also includes a mounting base on its side, the mounting base having a U-shaped structure, the hook having a rectangular frame structure, the two sides of the hook being vertically slidably connected to the two sides of the mounting base respectively, and the end of the hanging rope being installed on the top of the hook.

[0012] Furthermore, a profile is embedded on the outer side of the limiting strip, and a T-shaped groove extending along its length is provided in the profile. The mounting base is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove. The profile is provided with a plurality of second threaded holes arranged at intervals along its length. The mounting base is connected to any of the second threaded holes by a second screw.

[0013] Beneficial effects: This utility model provides a workbench for a sponge cutting machine. By setting up two workbenches to work alternately, cutting and loading / unloading can be carried out simultaneously, greatly reducing the downtime of the equipment. At the same time, a support plate is set up to support the sponge, and with the help of hooks, ropes and lifting devices, the sponge can be transferred as a whole, eliminating the tedious operation of manually carrying each piece. In addition, the support components and positioning components on the workbench work together to place the support plate stably on the workbench, effectively preventing the support plate from shifting during operation.

[0016] This utility model provides a workbench for a sponge cutting machine. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model provides a worktable for a sponge cutting machine, which is applied to the sponge cutting machine; as Figure 8 As shown, the sponge cutting machine includes a reciprocating moving mechanism 101, a lifting mechanism 102 located at the output end of the reciprocating moving mechanism 101, a gantry frame 103 located at the output end of the lifting mechanism 102, and a ring cutter assembly 104 located on the gantry frame 103, with the worktable 2 located below the gantry frame 103. The ring cutter assembly 104 is used to cut the sponge. The reciprocating moving mechanism 101 can drive the ring cutter assembly 104 to move back and forth, and the lifting mechanism 102 can drive the ring cutter assembly 104 to move up and down, thereby cutting the sponge into multiple sponge sheets. It should be noted that the reciprocating moving mechanism 101, the lifting mechanism 102, the gantry frame 103, and the ring cutter assembly 104 are all existing technologies. For specific structures, please refer to the HB-8 ring cutter high-speed slitting machine.

[0019] The worktable of the sponge cutting machine includes: a translation mechanism 1, a support plate 4, and a positioning component 6; the output end of the translation mechanism 1 is provided with two parallel worktables 2, each worktable 2 is provided with a support component 3; the support plate 4 is used to support the sponge to be cut, and one support plate 4 is placed on the support component 3 of one worktable 2; the support plate 4 has a rectangular structure, and hooks 5 are provided at both ends of the four sides of the support plate 4, and hanging ropes 51 are connected between the hooks 5 located at the ends of adjacent two sides; two positioning components 6 are provided, one positioning component 6 is correspondingly set on one worktable 2, and is used to limit the position of the support plate 4.

[0020] When feeding materials, such as Figure 6 As shown, the operator places the large piece of sponge to be cut on the support plate 4. At this time, the operator hooks the multiple hanging ropes 51 on the support plate 4 with the hook of the lifting device, and uses the lifting device to transfer the support plate 4 carrying the large piece of sponge to the workbench 2 where no sponge is placed. The support component 3 of the workbench 2 supports the support plate 4, and at the same time the positioning component 6 locks the support plate 4 on the workbench 2. The hanging ropes 51 on the support plate 4 then naturally hang down on the workbench 2, so as to avoid the hanging ropes 51 interfering with the subsequent cutting operation of the ring cutter cutting component 104. After the large piece of sponge on the other workbench 2 is cut, the translation mechanism 1 drives the two parallel workbench 2 to move, pushing the workbench 2 that has completed loading and positioning to the cutting station. The operator can immediately start the next round of cutting operations without waiting for the unloading operation of the previous workbench 2. At the same time, the workbench 2 with the cut sponge is pushed to the side unloading station, ready for sponge unloading. The operator hooks the hanging rope 51 of the support plate 4 on the workbench 2 to the hook of the lifting device, and the support plate 4 and the cut sponge are transferred as a whole by the lifting device. Through the above settings, the cutting and loading / unloading operations can be carried out simultaneously, which greatly shortens the equipment idle time and greatly improves the overall processing efficiency. Moreover, the support plate 4 supports the entire sponge sheet, and together with the lifting device and hanging rope 51, the sponge sheet can be transferred as a whole, saving the operator the tedious steps of carrying each piece one by one, and effectively reducing labor intensity.

[0021] In the above, the lifting device can be an electric hoist, which can transfer the sponge to a designated location.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 1 , 2 The translation mechanism 1 includes two parallel tracks 11, two sets of wheel sets 12 slidably connected to the tracks 11, a rack 13 parallel to the tracks 11, and two drive motors 14 respectively mounted on the worktables 2. One set of wheel sets 12 is correspondingly mounted on the bottom of one worktable 2. Each drive motor 14 has a gear 15 at its output end, which meshes with the rack 13 to drive the worktable 2 to move along the tracks 11. In actual operation, the two drive motors 14 can independently control the movement of their respective worktables 2. When one worktable 2 completes sponge loading and positioning and needs to be moved to the cutting station, the drive motor 14 at the bottom of that worktable 2 starts, and through the meshing transmission of the gear 15 and the rack 13, drives the wheel set 12 to slide smoothly along the tracks 11, thereby pushing the worktable 2 to the cutting station. At the same time, the other worktable 2, which has placed the cut sponge, can move along the tracks 11 from the cutting station to the loading and unloading station on the side under the independent control of its corresponding drive motor 14, realizing the synchronous and unidirectional movement of the two worktables 2.

[0023] Preferably, the track 11 has a triangular cross-section, and the wheel assembly 12 includes several rollers rotatably connected to the worktable 2. The rollers have V-shaped grooves adapted to the track 11. This configuration effectively limits the horizontal displacement of the worktable 2 during translation and prevents dust particles from accumulating on the surface of the track 11, thus avoiding the worktable 2 from jamming while moving along the track 11.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 2 , 3 The support assembly 3 includes a fixed strip 31 fixed in the middle of the workbench 2, and two movable strips 32 that can move closer to or further away from the fixed strip 31; both the fixed strip 31 and the movable strips 32 extend along the translational direction of the workbench 2. By adjusting the position of the movable strips 32, different sizes of support plates 4 can be flexibly accommodated. When the width of the support plate 4 varies, the operator can adjust the distance between the two movable strips 32 and the fixed strip 31 to ensure that the bottom of the support plate 4 can form a stable contact with the fixed strip 31 and the movable strips 32, preventing the support plate 4 from tilting or wobbling due to insufficient support points. At the same time, the fixed strip 31 and the movable strips 32 extend along the translational direction of the workbench 2, which can accommodate support plates 4 of different lengths.

[0025] In the above, the fixing strip 31 is fixedly connected to the workbench 2 by screws.

[0026] Further, see Figure 3 The workbench 2 is provided with first threaded holes 21 arranged in a matrix. The movable strip 32 is connected to any of the first threaded holes 21 by first screws 33 to lock the position of the movable strip 32 on the workbench 2. During adjustment, the installation position of the movable strip 32 is determined according to the width of the support plate 4 to be adapted. Then, the first threaded holes 21 on the movable strip 32 are aligned with the corresponding positions on the workbench 2, and the first screws 33 are screwed into the first threaded holes 21 to lock the position of the movable strip 32.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 4 The positioning component 6 includes several limiting strips 61 respectively disposed around the bottom perimeter of the support plate 4, and several pushing devices 62 corresponding to the positions of the limiting strips 61; the pushing devices 62 are configured to be at least four, each corresponding to one of the perimeters of the support plate 4. By cooperating with the limiting strips 61, the pushing devices 62 form multi-directional limiting for the support plate 4, preventing the support plate 4 from shifting or shaking during the translation of the worktable 2.

[0028] It should be noted that the limiting strip 61, which is perpendicular to the fixing strip 31 on the support plate 4, is a non-continuous strip structure. The cut-off part of the limiting strip 61 is used to avoid the fixing strip 31 and the movable strip 32, thereby ensuring that the bottom of the support plate 4 has sufficient contact area with the fixing strip 31 and the movable strip 32, and ensuring the stability of the support plate 4 when it is placed.

[0029] See Figure 5 The pushing device 62 includes a base 621 detachably connected to the worktable 2, a pushing mechanism 622 disposed on the base 621, and a push plate 623 disposed at the output end of the pushing mechanism 622. The push plate 623 abuts against the limiting strip 61. Specifically, the worktable 2 has a third threaded hole 22 arranged in a matrix. The base 621 of the pushing device 62, which is used to limit the position of the limiting strip 61 parallel to the movable strip 32, is connected to the matrix-arranged first threaded hole 21 by a third screw 624. The base 621 of the pushing device 62, which is used to limit the position of the limiting strip 61 perpendicular to the movable strip 32, is connected to the matrix-arranged third threaded hole 22 by a third screw 624, so as to flexibly adjust the installation position of the pushing device 62 according to the position of the limiting strip 61 on the support plate 4.

[0030] Further, see Figure 5 The ejection mechanism 622 includes a guide rod 6221 slidably connected to the base 621 and an adjusting screw 6222 threadedly connected to the base 621. One end of the guide rod 6221 is fixedly connected to the push plate 623, and one end of the adjusting screw 6222 is rotatably connected to the push plate 623. The other end of the adjusting screw 6222 is provided with a handle 6223. The guide rod 6221 serves a guiding function. When the position of the support plate 4 is limited, the operator rotates the handle 6223, and the adjusting screw 6222, in its threaded engagement with the base 621, generates axial displacement, thereby pushing the push plate 623 closer to the limiting strip 61 and abutting against the limiting strip 61.

[0031] The manual adjustment method is not only intuitive to operate, but also makes it easy to adjust the installation position of the pusher 62 and control the movement distance of the pusher 623 according to the actual working conditions, ensuring that the pusher 623 can abut against the limit strip 61. It also eliminates the need for electric drive, reducing the risk of equipment failure, and is especially suitable for the complex environment of the sponge cutting workshop.

[0032] In the alternative, the ejection mechanism 622 can be driven by a cylinder or electric push rod to move the push plate 623, which is beneficial for the positioning component 6 to quickly position and release the support plate 4.

[0033] In addition, after removing the fixed strip 31, the movable strip 32, and the pushing device 62, the workbench 2 can be restored to a flat surface to adapt to other types of sponge cutting operations, thereby improving the functionality and flexibility of the workbench 2.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 7 The support plate 4 also includes a mounting base 41 on its side. The mounting base 41 has a U-shaped structure, and the hook 5 has a rectangular frame structure. The two sides of the hook 5 are vertically slidably connected to the two sides of the mounting base 41, and the end of the hanging rope 51 is installed on the top of the hook 5. During non-lifting operations, the hook 5 slides vertically downward along the mounting base 41 under its own weight, and its top can be hidden below the plane where the top surface of the support plate 4 is located. This effectively avoids positional interference between the hook 5 and the ring cutter assembly 104 of the sponge cutter during the cutting operation, ensuring that the ring cutter assembly 104 can smoothly cut the sponge on the support plate 4.

[0035] In the above, the connection method between the hanging rope 51 and the hook ring 5 can be flexibly selected: it can be fixed to the top of the hook ring 5 by binding, or it can be detached by a snap hook structure. When using the snap hook connection (the snap hook is not shown in the attached figure), the hanging rope 51 can always remain on the hook of the lifting device. When lifting, the operator only needs to fasten the snap hook on the hanging rope 51 with the corresponding hook ring 5 on the side of the support plate 4 to complete the connection. There is no need to repeatedly disassemble or install the hanging rope 51, which greatly simplifies the preparation operation before lifting and further improves the convenience and efficiency of the sponge loading and unloading process.

[0036] Further, see Figure 7 A profile 42 is embedded on the outer side of the limiting strip 61. The profile 42 has a T-shaped groove 421 extending along its length. The mounting base 41 is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove 421. The profile 42 has several second threaded holes 422 spaced apart along its length. The mounting base 41 is connected to any of the second threaded holes 422 by a second screw 43. The mounting base 41 slides along the T-shaped groove 421 of the profile 42 and is connected to the second threaded holes 422 at different positions by the second screw 43, thereby adjusting the position of the hook 5 on the side of the support plate 4. When multiple support plates 4 are stacked for storage, the position of the hooks 5 can be adjusted to avoid misalignment and interference between the hooks 5 on adjacent support plates 4, thereby reducing storage space occupation and preventing deformation of the hooks 5. In addition, the distribution position of the hooks 5 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and center of gravity distribution of the sponge to be lifted, so that the hook of the lifting device and the hanging rope 51 can form a more reasonable connection point, ensuring that the support plates 4 and the sponge are subjected to balanced force and maintain horizontal stability during the lifting process, further improving the safety and reliability of the lifting operation.
