Description

Pulp mold manufacturing equipment {APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING PULP MOLD}

The present invention relates to a pulp mold manufacturing apparatus.

In general, molded pulp products are manufactured using pulp as a raw material and are mainly used in various fields such as packaging materials and cases for shock relief, and are being widely used due to their environmental friendliness.

Looking at the method of manufacturing the pulp molding, when deinked pulp and water are mixed at an appropriate ratio, such as 1:9, to form a pulp solution and then sucked into a mold, the pulp raw materials in the form of dry matter in the pulp solution are adsorbed and fine pulp is formed. The raw materials or water are sucked in and recovered in a separate storage tank, and the rough pulp molded product adsorbed to the mold is dried of moisture using a drying furnace or a separate heat source to complete the molded pulp product.

In addition, equipment for producing the above-mentioned pulp moldings is largely divided into dry pulp molding equipment and wet pulp molding equipment. The former dry pulp molding device is used to manufacture high-precision packaging materials such as cell phone casings and packaging materials in boxes, etc., and the manufacturing cost is high, while the latter wet pulp molding device is used to manufacture egg cartons that seat multiple eggs. It is used to manufacture low-precision packaging materials such as, and the manufacturing cost is low.

Here, precision refers to the surface roughness of the pulp molded product. Pulp molded products manufactured with high precision have a smooth surface to prevent the surface of the electronic products from being damaged when packaging expensive electronic products, and pulp manufactured with low precision has a smooth surface. The purpose of molding is to package products regardless of surface roughness and to reduce manufacturing costs due to mass production.

Meanwhile, the latter pulp mold forming device includes a molding unit for forming a rough pulp molding from a pulp solution, a conveyor means provided on one side of the molding section to take over and transport the rough pulp molding formed in the molding section, and a molding device on one side of the conveyor means. It consists of a drying furnace that dries the moisture contained in the rough pulp molding material provided and handed over to the conveyor means.

And the molding part includes a storage tank that stores the pulp solution, a lower mold that receives water from the storage tank, a cylinder installed at the bottom of the lower mold to raise and lower the lower mold, and a cylinder that is provided on the top of the upper mold and slides back and forth. It consists of an upper mold.

Looking at the operating state of the conventional wet pulp mold forming device configured as described above, first, the lower mold of the molding part is immersed in the storage tank and the pulp solution is sucked, and the pulp raw material is adsorbed to the surface of the lower mold to form a rough pulp molding. do.

In addition, the lower mold to which the rough pulp molding is adsorbed is raised by the upward movement of the cylinder and meshes with the upper mold provided at the top.

And when the upper and lower molds are joined, suction force is blocked in the lower mold and suction force is generated in the upper mold, so that the rough pulp molding is transferred from the lower mold to the upper mold.

Afterwards, the upper and lower molds are separated, and at this time, the lower mold is lowered and submerged in the storage tank, and the upper mold is moved backwards and placed on the upper part of the conveyor means. The upper mold blocks the suction force and the rough pulp molding is thrown into the conveyor means.

Thereafter, the crude pulp molding is transferred to a drying furnace along the conveyor means, and the moisture contained in the crude pulp molding is dried by the drying furnace to complete the pulp molding.

However, since the pulp mold manufacturing apparatus according to the prior art requires the lower mold placed in the storage tank to be moved in the vertical direction, the structure that must move the lower mold must be placed to penetrate the storage tank, and the lower mold must be repeatedly moved over a long period of time. As it was used, there was a problem that the pulp solution stored in the water storage tank leaked from the pierced part.

A step (S130) of lowering the mold 300 to a first height 401 in close contact with the upper side 301, and after a predetermined time has elapsed after step S130, the main body 410 is A step (S140) of raising the molded product to the second height 402 while adsorbing and fixing it, and horizontally moving the second middle body 610 to the lower part of the main body 410 after step S140 ( S150) and, after step S150, lowering the main body 410 to the third height 403 so that the main body 410 is in close contact with the upper side of the second middle body 610 (S160). And, after the step S160, a step of releasing the adsorption fixation of the rough pulp molding adsorbed and fixed to the main body 410 (S170), and after the step S170, the main body 410 is adjusted to the second height. A step of raising to (402) (S180), and after step S180, a step of returning the second middle body 610, which has been moved to the lower part of the main body 410, to its original position (S190), and the step S190. Thereafter, lowering the second side body 910 disposed on the upper part of the second middle body 610, which has taken over the rough pulp molding, to the third height 403 (S200), and S200 It includes a step (S210) of returning the second side body 910, which was lowered after the step, to its original position.

Through this control method, the control method of the pulp mold manufacturing apparatus according to this embodiment can minimize the stop time of the main mold 400 and the lower mold 300, thereby improving the production yield of finished products. There is a characteristic.

Figure 4 is a schematic configuration diagram of a pulp mold manufacturing apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The pulp mold manufacturing apparatus according to this embodiment includes a bypass pipe 156 connecting the fourth pipe 154 and the first pipe 151, and an opening/closing valve 157 that opens and closes the bypass pipe 156. ) is disposed, so that even in the event of a failure of the first supply pump 110, it can continue to operate for the time that the pulp solution stored in the storage tank 100 is consumed.

The pulp mold manufacturing apparatus according to the first embodiment provides the pulp solution discharged from the recovery pump 130 to the inlet side of the first supply pump 110, so that when the first supply pump 110 fails, the pulp solution is immediately manufactured. There is a problem where the entire device stops working.

When the first supply pump 110 is normal, the opening/closing valve 157 is kept closed.

In the pulp mold manufacturing apparatus according to this embodiment, when the first supply pump 110 malfunctions, the opening/closing valve 157 is opened, and the pulp solution discharged from the recovery pump 130 flows into the bypass pipe 156. It can be recovered to the storage tank 100 through .

The pulp mold manufacturing device according to this embodiment can continue to operate the device until the pulp solution stored in the storage tank 100 is consumed, and through this, time for repair or replacement of the first supply pump 110 can be secured. there is.

When repairing or replacing the first supply pump 110, a check valve 158 is further disposed to prevent the pulp solution supplied through the bypass pipe 156 from flowing into the first supply pump 110. It can be.

One end (156a) of the bypass pipe 156 is connected to the fourth pipe 154, and the other end (156b) is connected to the first pipe 151.

The check valve 158 is disposed between the other end 156b and the first supply pump 110, and prevents the pulp solution from being discharged toward the first supply pump 110 even when the on-off valve 157 is opened. This can prevent the entire device from being downed for repair or replacement of the first supply pump 110.

Hereinafter, since the remaining configuration is similar to the first embodiment, detailed description will be omitted.

In the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but of course, various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the scope of the patent claims described later, but also by the scope of this patent claim and equivalents.
