A Full-automatic method for manufacturing plant-fiber molding products and plant-fiber MARGIN trimming molding machine
Background of the invention
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method and device for making plant fiber (referred to as plant fiber hereinafter) products including pulps by pressing & molding; for manufacturing plant-fiber molding products (or pulp molding products, hereinafter collectively referred to as plant-fiber molding products), especially for manufacturing non-planar paper products; such as plant fiber tableware, plant fiber trays, industrial plant-fiber shock pads, packaging boxes and trays, non-planar three-dimensional decorative plant-fiber wall panels (or referred to as three-dimensional plant fiber wallpapers or three-dimensional pulp molding wallpapers) and all plant-fiber molding products.
Description of Related Art
The process for making plant-fiber molding products is as follows: plant fibers are made into wet semifinished products by means of a suck-filter forming device after suck-filter forming, which will be alternatively fed into hot-press molds of the left hot press mold solidifing device and the right hot press mold solidifing device on both sides of the suck-filter forming device after being heated to a certain temperature for clamping and hot-press mold drying and solidifying, thus making plant-fiber molding products in various shapes. This is the dual hot press mold solidifing device mode of the method for manufacturing plant-fiber molding products.
The present invention is explained by taking the dual hot press mold solidifing device mode of the method for manufacturing plant-fiber molding products as an example. There is a common three-station full-automatic plant-fiber molding machine, comprising a forming & solidifying top rack, a forming & solidifying low rack, a rod for connecting the forming & solidifying top rack and the forming & solidifying low rack, a suck-filter forming device (forming station) arranged between the forming & solidifying low rack, a left hot press mold solidifing device (or referred to as the left solidifying station) with the left hot-press top & low molds and a right hot press mold solidifing device (or referred to as the right solidifying station) with the right hot-press top and low molds on both sides of the suck-filter forming device, wherein a wet semifinished product transfer device is arranged above the suck-filter forming device and fixed on the forming & solidifying top rack with its transfer mold clamp moveable up and down; furthermore, the left and right hot-press low molds alternatively move below the transfer device respectively along the horizontal track of the hot-press low mold driven by power so as to receive the wet semifinished products transferred from such transfer device. After the wet semifinished products are transferred into the left or right hot-pressure low mold and return just below the left or right hot-pressure top mold from the transfer mold, the left hot-press top mold closes with the left hot-pressure low mold downward and implements the hot press mold solidifying for the wet semifinished products (or the right hot-press top mold closes with the right hot-pressure low mold downward and implements the hot press mold solidifying for the wet semifinished products driven by the external force, such as moving the tank or cylinder from the right hot-press top mold) driven by the external force (moving the tank or cylinder from the left hot-press top mold) until the wet semifinished products are dried and solidified to remove the product by mold opening. Repeat the above steps again and again. This is the full-automatic plant fiber (including pulp) molding machine by means of the dual hot press mold solidifing device mode, consisting of “the left hot press mold solidifing device, suck-filter forming device and the right hot press mold solidifing device”. For example, the plant fiber molding (including pulp molding) machine disclosed in CN patents 03209714.X, ZL201020283075.2, ZL 201010246235.0, ZL201020283085.6 and other related patents are such typical production units.
The wet semifinished products are dried and solidified to remove the products by mold opening in two ways: 1. the full-automatic pulp molding machine is connected with the left and right conveyor belts on the left hot-press low mold (including a mold mounting plate for mounting the left hot-press low mold) and the right hot-press low mold (including a mold mounting plate for mounting the right hot-press low mold). After the wet semifinished products are heated, dried and solidified, the left hot-press top mold opens and absorbs the products to move upward while the left hot-press low mold moves just below the transfer mold, the left conveyor belt is just below the left hot-press top mold as the left hot-press low mold moves to the right and the products absorbed by the left hot-press top mold fall onto the left conveyor belt; afterward, the left conveyor belt also returns to the original position and turns to deliver the products out of the machine with the left hot-press low mold returning to the original position. Similarly, the right hot-press top mold opens and absorbs the products to move upward while the left conveyor belt is just below the right hot-press top mold as the right hot-press low mold moves to the left just below the transfer mold clamp and the products absorbed by the right hot-press top mold fall onto the right conveyor belt; afterward, the right conveyor belt delivers the products out of the machine with the right hot-press low mold returning to the original position. Therefore, the left and right conveyor belts deliver the product out by wet semifinished product forming and hot press mold solidifying. 2. The left and right conveyor belts are replaced with the left plate and the right plate respectively, wherein the products absorbed by the left and right hot-press top molds are blown on the left and right plates respectively. The products are removed from the left and right plates by artificial collection; the left plate with products can be turned to the left at a certain angle so that the products slide out from the left plate or the right plate with products can be turned to the right at a certain angle so that the products slide out from the right plate.
Thus, the dried and solidified products alternatively fall from the left and right hot-pressure top molds and are delivered out from the left conveyor belt (the left plate) or the right conveyor belt (the right plate).
In the prior art, there is a single-side hot press mold solidifing production device arranged on the left or right (either) side of the suck-filter forming device with the same production process as described above. However, one suck-filter forming device is provided with one hot press mold solidifing device, which is known as the single hot press mold solidifing device mode of the method for manufacturing plant-fiber molding products. Moreover, there is a full-automatic plant fiber molding machine with a multi-function auxiliary device to eliminate the mold dripping of the automatic molding machine. Therefore, the process for making plant fiber molding products (including pulp molding products) includes two main processes and functions, namely wet semifinished product forming and hot press mold solidifying in the prior art.
For various reasons, the actual edge of the plant fiber molding products produced by forming and mold solidifying often fails to achieve the design requirements. In order to achieve the precise shape or profile of products, some margin trimming allowances are allowed for the edge of the pre-margin trimmed products and the excess is removed by margin trimming, thus realizing the required process and method by cutting the products into the required shapes. This process and method is known as margin trimming (processes such as removal of extra product edges, product cutting, slitting of single products in integrated products, product punching, product puncturing, cut marks or indentations left on products are all classified as margin trimming).
Until now, all international methods and devices for making and producing plant fiber molding products are designed so that wet semifinished product forming and hot press mold solidifying can be continuously performed on the same device; scattered products cannot be determined in a fixed position after they slide out from the conveyor belt or the left and right plates via hot press mold solidifying. The rim of plant fiber molding products produced has always some rough edges, with which the products are artificially collected and margin trimmed by a margin trimming machine. A method and device cannot be yet achieved to continuously perform the processes below: from wet semifinished product forming to hot press mold solidifying and to scrap removal. As a result, intact, margin trimmed and high-quality products cannot be produced on the same machine.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The purpose of the present invention is, by overcoming the above shortcomings in the prior art, to provide a full-automatic method for manufacturing plant-fiber molding products and full-automatic plant-fiber molding, mold solidifying and margin trimming machine; the method and the molding machine have three functions: wet semifinished product forming, hot press mold solidifying and automatic margin trimming, with the realization of advantages including high degree of automation, good quality of products and high production efficiency.
The present invention provides the following technical solutions: the full-automatic method for manufacturing plant-fiber molding products with the process is provided, wherein: pulps are continuously made into wet semifinished products by means of a suck-filter forming device, which will be alternatively fed into hot-press molds of the left hot press mold solidifing device and the right hot press mold solidifing device after being heated to a certain temperature for hot-press drying and solidifying, characterized in that: the dried and solidified products fall into the left positioning collection tray of the left positioning collection device and the right positioning collection tray of the right positioning collection device respectively from the left hot-press top mold and the right hot-press top mold, and are positioned therein, to achieve the purpose of fixing the products in a specific position for transfer and ensure the transfer accuracy of the products to be margin trimmed;
The left positioning collection device delivers the dried and solidified products to be margin trimmed to the left transition station and the right positioning collection device delivers the dried and solidified products to be margin trimmed to the right transition station; the products to be margin trimmed are transferred to the position to be margin trimmed of the margin trimming device by the transfer device positioned on the left transition station and the right transition station, and then the margin trimming device withdraws the products to be margin trimmed from the position to be margin trimmed, delivers them to the margin trimming position for margin trimming, and then delivers the margin trimmed products to the completion position and expels the margin trimmed scrap from the margin trimming position; thus the full-automatic process for manufacturing plant fiber molding products operates continuously starting from making pulps into wet semifinished products by suck-filter forming to delivering the products to the completion position after margin trimming.
The left discharge sucker kit in the transfer device withdraws and absorbs the products to be margin trimmed in the left positioning collection tray on the left transition station through vacuum absorption, delivers such products to the left product receiving station along the left discharge horizontal track, and then to the left storage flipper for realization of flipping the products to be margin trimmed or directly to the positioning tray to be margin trimmed in the left transport vehicle on the left product receiving station; the right discharge sucker kit in the transfer device withdraws and absorbs the products to be margin trimmed in the right positioning collection tray on the right transition station through vacuum absorption, delivers such products to the right product receiving station along the right discharge horizontal track, and then to the right storage flipper for realization of flipping the products to be margin trimmed or directly to the positioning tray to be margin trimmed in the right transport vehicle on the right product receiving station, so that the products to be margin trimmed are re-positioned in the positioning tray to be margin trimmed, thus achieving the transfer of the products to be margin trimmed from front to back.
The left transport vehicle in the transfer device receives the products to be margin trimmed on the left product receiving station and delivers them to the position to be margin trimmed; the right transport vehicle in the transfer device receives the products to be margin trimmed on the right product receiving station and delivers them to the position to be margin trimmed, namely the left and right transport vehicles alternatively deliver the received products to be margin trimmed to the position to be margin trimmed.

The margin trimming device performs the process as below:
1) the front-row margin trimming sucker kit (on top of the position to be margin trimmed) moves down to absorb the products to be margin trimmed and moves up to return its original position, while the back-row margin trimming sucker kit (on top of the positioning block of the margin trimming low mold) moves down to absorb the margin trimmed products and moves up to return its original position;
2) the front-row margin trimming sucker kit and the back-row margin trimming sucker kit move backward horizontally with the products withdrawn, the scrap removal mechanism expels the margin trimmed scrap from the margin trimming position;
3) after moving backward horizontally to some distance, the front-row margin trimming sucker kit and the back-row margin trimming sucker kit release the products withdrawn respectively, making the products to be margin trimmed fall onto the margin trimming position while the margin trimmed products onto the completion position; the front-row margin trimming sucker kit and the back-row margin trimming sucker kit move forward horizontally & simultaneously, and then stop horizontal movement when the spaced front-row margin trimming sucker kit and the back-row margin trimming sucker kit are in a position on the front and back side of the margin trimming mold respectively;
4) the margin trimming top mold moves downward from the margin trimming mold to clamp with the margin trimming low mold and remove the rough edges of the products to be margin trimmed; and then the margin trimming top mold moves upward from the margin trimming mold to open the mold;
5) the front-row margin trimming sucker kit and the back-row margin trimming sucker kit continue to move forward horizontally until the front-row margin trimming sucker kit and the back-row margin trimming sucker kit reach to the top of the position to be margin trimmed and the margin trimming position respectively;
6) the front-row margin trimming sucker kit and the back-row margin trimming sucker kit moves down respectively or simultaneously to absorb the products to be margin trimmed and the margin trimmed products and then moves up to return its original position;
then repeat steps 2) to 6) again and again.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiment 1
As shown in FIGs 1, 2 and 3, the full-automatic plant-fiber molding, mold solidifying and margin trimming machine includes a forming and solidifying device A, a transfer device C and a margin trimming device B.
The forming and solidifying device (as shown in FIG. 4) includes a rack A1 composed of a rod A1c, a forming & solidifying low rack A1a and a forming & solidifying top rack A1b; a suck-filter forming device A2 arranged between the forming & solidifying low rack, a left hot press mold solidifing device A3 with a left hot-press top mold A3a and a left hot-press top mold A3c on the left side of the device, a right hot press mold solidifing device A4 with a right hot-press top mold A4a and a right hot-press top mold A4c on the right side of the device. The mounting plate A3e of the left hot-press low mold and the mounting plate A4e of the right hot-press low mold are connected to a left positioning collection device A5 and a right positioning collection device A6 respectively; the left positioning collection device is fixed on the left side of the mounting plate of the left hot-press low mold, wherein the device can move horizontally to the left and right together with the mounting plate and the left hot-press low mold along the horizontal track A8 of the hot-press low mold; the right positioning collection device A6 is fixed on the right side of the mounting plate of the right hot-press low mold, wherein the device can move horizontally to the left and right together with the mounting plate and the right hot-press low mold along the horizontal track A8 of the hot-press low mold (the mounting plate of the left hot-press low mold can slide to the left and right through a slider to position on the horizontal track A8 of the hot-press low mold; the mounting plate of the right hot-press low mold can slide to the left and right through a slider to position on the horizontal track A8 of the hot-press low mold). The left positioning collection device is mounted with a left positioning collection tray A5.1; the right positioning collection device is mounted with a right positioning collection tray A6.1.
The suck-filter forming device A2 comprises a suck-filter forming molds A2c and a suck-filter forming pulp tank. The mixture (referred to as the pulp) of plant fibers with water evenly or roughly distributed in water with an appropriate concentration is intermittently or continuously injected into the suck-filter forming pulp tank; the suck-filter forming molds penetrates into the pulp of the suck-filter forming pulp tank or is fixed at the bottom of the pulp tank for suction. When the suck-filter forming molds absorbs a number of plant fibers, the mold will be exposed above the level and made into wet semifinished products. The wet semifinished products are alternatively fed into hot-press molds of the left hot press mold solidifing device A3 and the right hot press mold solidifing device A4 on the left and right sides of the suck-filter forming device after being heated to a certain temperature for clamping and hot-press drying and solidifying.
The specific structure (as shown in FIG. 4) is: the suck-filter forming molds A2c is fixed at the bottom of the suck-filter forming pulp tank; the mold is provided with one or more cavities (the mold cavity has the consistent shape with the product, wherein the suck-filter forming molds and the wet semifinished products transfer mold A7a are mutually fitting concave and convex molds, namely, the cavities of the former are concave molds while those of the latter are convex molds; vice versa) for pre-making wet semifinished products, a number of drainage holes are arranged in such cavities, and wire meshes are attached onto the cavity surface with the shape fitting the shape of the cavity surface, the drainage hole, wherein such drainage holes are connected to negative-pressure devices (such as vacuum pumps) by means of pipes mounted with control valves, the forming and solidifying device is also mounted with a control switch to open and close the control valve so as to generate negative pressure during suck-filter forming and relieve negative pressure at the end of suck-filter forming. The pulp is injected into the suck-filter forming pulp tank to a fixed amount in the suck-filter forming device; during suck-filter forming, the negative pressure is connected to the drainage hole in the suck-filter forming molds cavity, wherein pulp water is discharged from the drainage hole of the suck-filter forming molds under the action of the negative pressure, fibers are absorbed onto the wire mesh of the cavity; the level decreases continuously as the pulp reduces, when the wet semifinished products and the suck-filter forming molds expose above the level. Fibers absorbed onto the wire mesh of the cavity form into the shape of products and are pre-made into wet semifinished products with an expected thickness; the wet semifinished products are further removed with excess water and left in the cavity at the end of suck-filter forming after appropriate moisture content is achieved. During making of wet semifinished products, it is known as the “pulp injection method” for suck-filter forming (conventional method) as the suck-filter forming molds and the pulp tank are fixed.
Alternatively, three ways may also be employed to achieve suck-filter forming: 1. during circulation, pulps continuously flow into the suck-filter forming pulp tank externally and continuously overflow into the external pulp pool, wherein the pulp level keeps essentially unchanged in the suck-filter forming pulp tank, the suck-filter forming molds can move up and down relative to the suck-filter forming pulp tank. During suck-filter forming, the suck-filter forming molds is arranged below the level, pulp water is discharged and pumped from the cavity drainage hole of the suck-filter forming molds under the action of the negative pressure, and fibers are absorbed onto the wire mesh of the cavity and begin to form wet semifinished products; at the end of suck-filter forming, the suck-filter forming molds sucks filtration while rising in the pulp until it is exposed above the level; the suck-filter forming molds exposed leaves wet semifinished products in the cavity and water are further removed; such wet semifinished products are formed at the end of suck-filter forming after appropriate moisture content is achieved. With this approach, the suck-filter forming pulp tank is fixed and the suck-filter forming molds sucks filtration while rising until the wet semifinished products and the suck-filter forming molds expose above the level to reach a certain position, which is known as the “pulp collection method” for suck-filter forming by means of which the suck-filter forming molds can move up and down while the suck-filter forming pulp tank is fixed. 2. During circulation, pulps continuously flow into the suck-filter forming pulp tank externally and continuously overflow into the external pulp pool, wherein the pulp level keeps essentially unchanged in the suck-filter forming pulp tank, the suck-filter forming pulp tank can move up and down relative to the suck-filter forming molds fixed. During suck-filter forming, the suck-filter forming molds is arranged below the pulp level, partial pulp water is discharged and pumped from the cavity drainage hole of the suck-filter forming molds under the action of the negative pressure, and fibers are absorbed onto the wire mesh of the cavity and begin to form the wet semifinished products; at the end of suck-filter forming, the suck-filter forming pulp tank declines while the level also declines relative to the suck-filter forming molds until the suck-filter forming molds exposes above the level; the suck-filter forming molds exposed leaves wet semifinished products in the cavity and the cavity water are further removed, wherein such wet semifinished products are formed at the end of suck-filter forming after appropriate moisture content is achieved. With this approach, the suck-filter forming molds is fixed while the suck-filter forming pulp tank moves up and down relative to the suck-filter forming molds, which is known as the “pulp collection method” for suck-filter forming by means of which the suck-filter forming pulp tank moves while the suck-filter forming molds is fixed. 3. During circulation as shown in FIG. 4.1, pulps continuously flow into the fixed suck-filter forming pulp tank externally and continuously overflow into the external pulp pool, wherein the suck-filter forming molds can rotate 180-degrees around the flipping axis A9 of the suck-filter forming molds on which two working surfaces can be provided at an angle of 180-degrees; when a working surface moves downward to absorb pulps, the other working surface delivers the wet semifinished products above the level after suck-filter forming, wherein the two working surfaces alternatively move downward to absorb pulps and make wet semifinished products, and deliver such pulps out of the level until such working surfaces are upward vertically. During suck-filter forming, the suck-filter forming molds flips down into the pulp until the suck-filter forming molds faces downward underneath the pulp level, partial pulp water is discharged and pumped from the cavity drainage hole of the suck-filter forming molds under the action of the negative pressure, and fibers are absorbed onto the wire mesh of the cavity and begin to form the wet semifinished products; at the end of suck-filter forming, the suck-filter forming molds flips upward from the pulp and exposes above the surface gradually until it faces upward and exposes above the level completely; the suck-filter forming molds exposed leaves wet semifinished products in the cavity and water therein is further removed, wherein such wet semifinished products are formed at the end of suck-filter forming after appropriate moisture content is achieved, the wet semifinished products expose above the level from the suck-filter forming molds A2c until the working surface is upward vertically; With this approach, the suck-filter forming molds flips up and down around the axis, which is known as the flipping “pulp collection method” for suck-filter forming, which can also be the suck-filter forming molds of the single working surface.
The “pulp injection method” for suck-filter forming and various “pulp collection method” for suck-filter forming (the “pulp collection method” for suck-filter forming by means of which the suck-filter forming molds moves while the suck-filter forming pulp tank is fixed, the “pulp collection method” for suck-filter forming by means of which the suck-filter forming pulp tank moves while the suck-filter forming molds is fixed, the flipping “pulp collection method” for suck-filter forming) are methods for the forming and solidifying device to make wet semifinished products. Plant fibers or pulps are first made into wet semifinished products by suck-filter forming, which will be then alternatively fed into hot-press molds of the left hot press mold solidifing device A3 and the right hot press mold solidifing device A4 for clamping and hot-press drying and solidifying. It is explained by taking the “pulp injection method” for suck-filter forming and the dual hot press mold solidifing device mode as an example. The specific working principle is: after forming of the wet semifinished products, the wet semifinished products transfer mold A7a moves downward vertically to the suck-filter forming molds A2c for absorbing the wet semifinished products that will be lifted upward in place, and then the left hot-press low mold (or the right hot-press low mold) moves horizontally just below the wet semifinished products transfer mold; the wet semifinished products transfer mold moves downward to transfer such product onto the left hot-press low mold A3c (or the right hot-press low mold A4c) and rises after completion of transfer; the left hot-press low mold (or the right hot-press low mold) returns to its original position horizontally, the left hot-press top mold A3a moves downward to clamp with the left hot-press low mold (or the right hot-press top mold moves downward to clamp with the right hot-press low mold) for hot-press drying and solidifying of the wet semifinished products so as to make dried products, namely products to be margin trimmed.
After the wet semifinished products are heated, dried and solidified in the hot-press mold of the left hot-pressure molding device A3, the left hot-press top mold A3a opens and absorbs products to move upward; then the left hot-press low mold moves to the right and the left positioning collection tray A5.1 also moves to the right with such mold. When the left hot-press low mold A3c moves just beneath the wet semifinished products transfer mold, it stops moving and receives the wet semifinished products transferred from the wet semifinished products transfer mold while the left positioning collection tray A5.1 just reaches below the left hot-press top mold A3a, and products on the left hot-press top mold fall on the left positioning collection tray A5.1 correspondingly; subsequently, the left positioning collection tray A5.1 moves to the left to its original position (the left transition station) as the left hot-press low mold moves to the left to its original position. Similarly, the right hot-press top mold A4a opens and absorbs products to move upward; then the right hot-press low mold A4c moves to the left and the right positioning collection tray A6.1 also moves to the left with such mold; when the right hot-press low mold reaches just beneath the wet semifinished products transfer mold, it stops moving and receives the wet semifinished products transferred from the wet semifinished products transfer mold while the right positioning collection tray just reaches below the right hot-press top mold, and products on the right hot-press top mold fall on the right positioning collection tray correspondingly; subsequently, the right positioning collection tray moves to the right to its original position (the right transition station) as the right hot-press low mold moves to the right to its original position.
