DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
(11) Specific embodiment I: please refer to
(12) It is noted that the slurry spraying groove is arranged in the slurry spraying area, a plurality of through holes are formed in the surface of the slurry spraying groove, the plurality of through holes are uniformly and intensively distributed in the slurry spraying groove. When the silicon slurry is added in the slurry spraying groove, the silicon slurry leaks to the lower side of the slurry spraying groove uniformly from the through holes. The slurry spraying grove is arranged just above the movement assembly line of the glove mold, so that when the glove mold enters the slurry spraying area along the assembly line, the silicon slurry is sprayed to the surface of the glove blank 1 below the slurry spraying groove from the through holes of the slurry spraying groove, thereby achieving the purpose of fully covering the outer surface of the glove blank 1 through the silicon slurry;
(13) A finger gap spraying port 21 is formed in one side of the slurry spraying groove, the finger gap spraying port 21 is a long opening and arranged at one side of the slurry spraying groove, the position of the finger gap spraying port 21 corresponds to that of the finger gap 12 between the little finger and the ring finger when the glove blank 1 enters the slurry spraying area, and the length of the finger gap spraying port 21 is equal to or greater than that of the finger area of the glove blank 1, so that the silicon slurry is sprayed on the surface of the glove blank 1 around the finger gap 12 from the finger gap spraying port 21 in a waterfall form when the palm 11 of the glove blank 1 enters the slurry spraying area upwards, and the silicon slurry is completely adhered to the surface near the finger gap 12 along the rotation of the glove blank 1, so as to ensure that the silicon slurry can be uniformly covered on the surface of the glove blank 1 near the finger gap 12, and no dead angle exists during spraying; the height of the finger gap 12 between the index finger and the middle finger on the glove blank 1 and the finger gap 12 between the middle finger and the ring finger is similar to that of the finger gap 12 between the little finger and the ring finger, and the silicon slurry sprayed out of the finger gap spraying port 21 can also perform all-around spraying on the outer surface of the glove blank 1 near the finger gap 12 between the index finger and the middle finger and the finger gap 12 between the middle finger and the ring finger; a tiger mouth spraying port 22 is formed in the other side of the slurry spraying groove, the tiger mouth spraying port 22 is a long opening and arranged at one side, away from the finger gap spraying port 21, of the slurry spraying groove, the position of the tiger mouth spraying port 22 corresponds to that of the tiger mouth finger gap 13 when the glove blank 1 leaves the slurry spraying area, and the length of the tiger mouth spraying port 22 is greater than or equal to that of the tiger mouth area of the glove blank 1. When the glove blank 1 enters the slurry spraying area, since the position of the tiger mouth finger gap 13 is lower than that of other finger gaps 12, all-around spraying cannot be performed on the surface of the glove blank 1 near the tiger mouth finger gap 13 when the finger gap spraying port 21 works. Therefore, the tiger mouth spraying port 22 needs to be set; when the glove blank 1 passes through the tiger mouth spraying port 22, the silicon slurry is sprayed on the surface of the glove blank 1 near the tiger mouth finger gap 13 from the tiger mouth spraying port 22 in a waterfall form, and the silicon slurry is completely adhered to the surface near the tiger mouth finger gap 13 along the rotation of the glove blank 1, so that the silicon slurry can be uniformly covered on the surface of the glove blank 1 near the tiger mouth finger gap 13
(14) Therefore, the specific slurry spraying steps are as follows: S51: the clamp controls the glove blank 1 to be set in parallel to the plane, and controls the glove blank 1 to rotate around its axial direction and to enter below the slurry spraying groove; the glove blank 1 is subjected to simultaneous spraying of the silicon slurry from the through holes of the slurry spraying groove and the finger gap spraying port 21; the silicon slurry passing through the through holes is sprayed to the palm and the back of the glove blank 1, the silicon slurry passing through the finger gap spraying port 21 is sprayed to the surface of the glove blank 1 near the finger gap 12 between the little finger and the ring finger in a form of waterfall spraying; with the continuous axial rotation of the glove blank 1, the silicon slurry in the waterfall form performs all-around spraying near the finger gap 12 between the little finger and the ring finger, the finger gap 12 between the middle finger and the ring finger and the finger gap 12 between the index finger and the middle finger in turn, so that the silicon slurry is uniformly covered on the outer surface of the glove blank 1 near the finger gap 12. Since the position of the tiger mouth finger gap 13 is lower than that of other finger gaps 12, the part that is not sprayed also exists on the outer surface of the glove blank 1 near the tiger mouth finger gap 13; S52: the glove blank 1 leaves the spraying area of the finger gap spraying port 21, the glove blank 1 moves uniformly below the slurry spraying groove, and the glove blank 1 keeps the axial rotation; the silicon slurry in the slurry spraying groove is sprayed to the glove blank 1 through the through holes on the surface of the slurry spraying groove and uniformly covers the whole anti-permeation surface on the surface of the glove blank 1; at this time, the part that is not sprayed also exists on the outer surface of the glove blank 1 near the tiger mouth finger gap 13; S53: when the glove blank 1 is transported below the tiger mouth spraying port 22, the glove blank 1 is subjected to simultaneous spraying of the silicon slurry from the through holes of the slurry spraying groove and the tiger mouth finger spraying port 22; the silicon slurry passing through the through holes is sprayed to the palm and the back of the glove blank 1, the silicon slurry passing through the tiger mouth finger spraying port 22 is sprayed to the surface of the glove blank 1 near the tiger mouth finger gap 13 in a form of waterfall spraying; with the rotation of the glove blank 1, the silicon slurry in the waterfall form performs all-around spraying on the surface near the tiger mouth finger gap 13, so that the silicon slurry is uniformly covered on the surface of the glove blank 1 near the tiger mouth finger gap 13.
(15) It is noted that a moving gear is arranged on the support rod of the clamp for clamping the glove mold, the moving gear is horizontally arranged and fixedly connected to the support rod, the moving gear is coaxial with the support rod, and the moving gear rotates and drives the support rod to rotate in the same direction; stationary gears are uniformly arranged on the assembly line conveyor belt, during work, the moving gear is in meshing drive with the stationary gears, and when the moving gear controls the glove mold to be transported on the assembly line conveyor belt, the moving gear drives the glove mold and the stationary gears to rotate in the same axial direction;
(16) For example, in the silicon dripping step, the moving gear on the support rod of the clamp for clamping the glove mold is in meshing drive with the stationary gears on the conveyor belt, so as to keep the axial rotation of the glove mold when controlling the glove mold to be transported in the silicon dripping area, to ensure that all directions of the glove blank 1 can be blown by the compressed air, thereby ensuring the finish surface of the glove blank 1 and more uniform glove thickness.
(17) It is noted that: in the silicon drying step, before the glove mold enters the drying oven, the glove mold needs to rotate at least one round around the axial direction, so that the silicon slurry on the surface of the glove blank 1 is uniformly distributed, and the silicon slurry liquid globules on the surface of the glove blank 1 are avoided to be dried by the drying oven directly after the glove mold enters the drying oven directly, thereby resulting in uneven shape defects on the glove surface.
(18) It is noted that the steps of slurry spraying, silicon blowing and silicon dripping are all carried out in the thermostat, and the temperature in the thermostat is kept at 15 C.-20 C., so as to prevent more sizing material consumption due to quick or slow drying of the silicon slurry in a climate of high temperature or low temperature, resulting in the waste of the silicon slurry; and the silicon slurry keeps the undried state in a constant temperature environment, so that the silicon slurry is easy to be blown uniformly in the steps of silicon blowing and silicon dripping, thereby ensuring the yield of the product.
(19) It is noted that an inlet and an outlet of the drying oven are all provided with heat insulation plates, which have the ability of heat preservation and heat insulation, and the heat insulation plates can seal the drying oven, to keep the high temperature in the drying oven, so that the glove blank 1 in the drying oven can be baked continuously; the heat insulation plates can prevent the heat in the drying oven from being delivered outside, prevent a high temperature in the drying oven from being delivered to the cooling area, thereby affecting the cooling effect of the cooling area on the glove blank 1; and the cooling efficiency is improved.
