Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a coating machine and a coating method thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to a coating machine and method for use in the manufacture of cardboard boxes to coat heat-insulating cardboard with wax.
- Nowadays, marine products such as seafood are typically transported in cardboard boxes. As liquids are sure to be found on the surface of seafood, it is required that cardboard boxes for storing marine products be water-resistant to some extent so that boxed marine products can be transported over long distances.
- To waterproof a cardboard box, it is common practice to coat each of its cardboard components with liquid wax, which forms a wax layer capable of isolating the surface liquids of marine products from the cardboard itself. However, the existing coating machines can effectively coat only the surface, but not the edges, of cardboard with wax. The resulting cardboard boxes, therefore, are flawed in that they are permeable to water and hence prone to break when wet.
- To overcome the foregoing drawback, a novel coating machine for forming a wax layer on cardboard is needed.
- One objective of the present invention is to provide a coating machine that is structurally simple, highly automated, and capable of waxing not only the surface, but also the edges, of cardboard so that waterproofness of the entire cardboard is ensured.

- It is preferable that the cardboard body is 0.3 mm∼9 mm thick.
- It is preferable that the heat-insulating material is 1 mm∼6 mm thick.
- The coating machine and coating method of the present invention have the following features and advantages: The two wax dispensing rollers can wax two lateral edges of a sheet of cardboard respectively while the wax dispenser dispenses wax evenly over the upper surface and forward edge of the cardboard, and this effectively ensures that the coated cardboard is waterproofed as a whole.

Theconveyor body 4 has a front-end conveying wheel 41, a back-end conveying wheel 42, and aconveyor belt 43 looped around the front-end conveying wheel 41 and the back-end conveying wheel 42. Cardboard 10 can be placed on theconveyor belt 43 in order to be coated. Thecardboard 10 may be a single- or multi-ply composite cardboard having a thickness ranging from 0.3 mm to 9 mm; the present invention has no limitation in this regard. The pressure rollers 5 are provided above theconveyor body 4 in such a way that thecardboard 10 can be held between theconveyor belt 43 and the pressure rollers 5. - The
wax dispenser 2 is located above theback end 12 of thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 and has awax outlet 21 lying above the back-end conveying wheel 42 of thecardboard conveying mechanism 1. Thewax outlet 21 of thewax dispenser 2 is a slit whose length corresponds to the width of thecardboard 10. When thecardboard 10 is conveyed to the back-end conveying wheel 42 (i.e., when the forward edge of thecardboard 10 is vertically aligned with thewax outlet 21 of the wax dispenser 2), thewax dispenser 2 is turned on, allowing the liquid wax in thewax dispenser 2 to curtain-coat thecardboard 10 through thewax outlet 21. In the present invention, thewax dispenser 2 is connected to a wax reservoir 7 through a pump 6. The wax reservoir 7 contains liquid wax, and the pump 6 can pump the liquid wax in the wax reservoir 7 into thewax dispenser 2. - Once turned on, the front-
end conveying wheel 41 and the back-end conveying wheel 42 of thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 are rotated and thereby move thecardboard 10 from the front end 11 to theback end 12 of thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 via theconveyor belt 43. As the front end 11 is lower than the back end 12 (i.e., theconveyor belt 43 is inclined at a certain angle), thecardboard 10 is conveyed slantingly upward such that the liquid wax in thewax dispenser 2 above theback end 12 falls as a curtain on the forward edge of thecardboard 10. Meanwhile, constant-speed movement of thecardboard 10 along thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 allows the liquid wax falling from thewax dispenser 2 to curtain-coat the entire upper surface of thecardboard 10. As a result, the upper surface as well as the forward edge of thecardboard 10 is evenly coated with liquid wax. It is worth mentioning that, during the conveying process, the pressure rollers 5 hold thecardboard 10 against theconveyor belt 43 to prevent thecardboard 10 from sliding off theconveyor belt 43. - The two
wax dispensing rollers 3, which are provided on the two lateral sides of thewax dispenser 2 respectively, are spaced apart by a distance equivalent to the width of thecardboard 10 so as to contact two lateral edges of thecardboard 10 respectively. In the present invention, as shown inFIG. 2 , eachwax dispensing roller 3 includes aroller body 31 and a feltsleeve 32.

wax dispensing roller 3 has a fixingframe 34. Theroller body 31 is rotatably connected to the fixingframe 34 via bearings provided respectively at two ends of theroller body 31. Theroller body 31 is generally cylindrical and has its upper end connected to thewax dispenser 2 through the connectingtube 33 in order for the liquid wax in thewax dispenser 2 to flow through the connectingtube 33 into the hollow chamber of theroller body 31. The throughholes 311 are provided in the peripheral wall of theroller body 31 and are in communication with the hollow chamber so that the liquid wax flowing into the hollow chamber of theroller body 31 can flow through the throughholes 311 to the outer surface of theroller body 31. - The felt
sleeve 32 is generally cylindrical, has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of theroller body 31, and is mounted around the outer surface of theroller body 31 so as to rotate along with theroller body 31. While theroller body 31 is rotated, the feltsleeve 32 is in contact with the outer surface of theroller body 31 and can also contact the corresponding lateral edge of thecardboard 10, thereby dispensing the liquid wax on the outer surface of theroller body 31 to (i.e., waxing) the corresponding lateral edge of thecardboard 10. - The coating machine further includes a wax trough 8 below the
wax dispenser 2 and the twowax dispensing rollers 3 in order to collect excess liquid wax flowing out of thewax dispenser 2 and thewax dispensing rollers 3. The wax trough 8 lies above the wax reservoir 7, and the liquid wax in the wax trough 8 can flow into the wax reservoir 7 through an outlet at the bottom of the wax trough 8. - In this embodiment of the present invention, the front end 11 of the
cardboard conveying mechanism 1 is provided with acardboard holder 13. Thecardboard holder 13 has an inclined cardboard-supporting table 131 on which to place thecardboard 10 to be waxed and that facilitates conveyance of thecardboard 10 by giving thecardboard 10 the same inclination angle as theconveyor belt 43 before thecardboard 10 is fed into thecardboard conveying mechanism 1. - Moreover, the
back end 12 of thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 is provided with a transport mechanism 9. The transport mechanism 9 includes a front-end transport wheel 91, amiddle transport wheel 92, and a rear-end transport wheel 93. Both the front-end transport wheel 91 and the rear-end transport wheel 93 are lower than themiddle transport wheel 92. Afirst transport belt 94 is looped around the front-end transport wheel 91 and themiddle transport wheel 92 while asecond transport belt 95 is looped around themiddle transport wheel 92 and the rear-end transport wheel 93. In this embodiment, the rear-end transport wheel 93 is lower than the front-end transport wheel 91. - Once turned on, the front-
end transport wheel 91, themiddle transport wheel 92, and the rear-end transport wheel 93 of the transport mechanism 9 are rotated such that thefirst transport belt 94 receives the curtain-coatedcardboard 10 from thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 and transports thecardboard 10 to thesecond transport belt 95, which further transports thecardboard 10 to acardboard collector 96 near the rear-end transport wheel 93 to complete collection of the waxedcardboard 10. - The coating machine of the present invention is so designed that not only can the
wax dispenser 2 coat the upper surface and forward edge of thecardboard 10 evenly with wax, but also the twowax dispensing rollers 3 can wax the two lateral edges of thecardboard 10 respectively to ensure that thecardboard 10 is waterproofed as a whole. In addition to the ability to wax theentire cardboard 10, the coating machine features a simple structure and a high degree of automation. - With continued reference to

cardboard 10 with thewax dispensing rollers 3 on the two lateral sides of thewax dispenser 2 respectively while thecardboard 10 is moved from the front end 11 of thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 to theback end 12 of thecardboard conveying mechanism 1. - More specifically, the
cardboard conveying mechanism 1 is inclined at a certain angle such that thecardboard 10 placed thereon is inclined at the same angle. - Once turned on, the front-
end conveying wheel 41 and the back-end conveying wheel 42 of thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 are rotated and thereby move thecardboard 10 from the front end 11 to theback end 12 of thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 via theconveyor belt 43. As thecardboard 10 is conveyed slantingly upward, the liquid wax in thewax dispenser 2 above theback end 12 falls as a curtain on the forward edge of thecardboard 10, and constant-speed movement of thecardboard 10 along thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 allows the liquid wax falling from thewax dispenser 2 to also curtain-coat the entire upper surface of thecardboard 10. Consequently, the upper surface as well as the forward edge of thecardboard 10 is evenly coated with liquid wax. It is worth mentioning that, during the conveying process, the pressure rollers 5 above thecardboard conveying mechanism 1 hold thecardboard 10 against theconveyor belt 43 to prevent thecardboard 10 from sliding off theconveyor belt 43. - In the present invention, the
cardboard 10 is heat-insulating cardboard that includes a cardboard body and a heat-insulating material adhesively bonded to each other. The liquid wax falling from thewax dispenser 2 can curtain-coat the outer surface of the cardboard body and the forward edge of the heat-insulating cardboard, and each of the two lateral edges of the heat-insulating cardboard can be coated by thewax dispensing roller 3 on one of the two lateral sides of thewax dispenser 2. In the present invention, the cardboard body has a thickness of 0.3 mm∼9 mm, and the heat-insulating material has a thickness of 1 mm∼6 mm. - The coating method of the present invention not only dispenses wax to the upper surface and forward edge of the
cardboard 10, but also waxes the two lateral edges of thecardboard 10 to effectively ensure waterproofness of theentire cardboard 10. Aside from being capable of waxing thewhole cardboard 10, the coating method is easy to perform and features a high degree of automation. - The foregoing is only a couple of embodiments of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may modify or change the disclosed embodiments in many ways according to the disclosure of the present specification without departing from the scope of the invention.
