Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of plastic processing, and in particular to a rotational molding production line. Background Art

[0002] In the field of plastic processing and manufacturing, rotational molding is widely used in industries such as water tanks, containers, and amusement facilities because it can produce large, complex-shaped, and uniformly thick plastic products. In the early days, rotational molding production was mainly based on single-machine operation, and the production process was discrete. Workers had to manually complete mold loading, transport the mold to the heating furnace, and manually unload the mold after cooling. Each link relied on manpower to connect. Under this model, production efficiency was extremely low, and the daily output of a single device was limited, which could not meet the needs of large-scale orders. In addition, manual operation errors were large, and the mold loading amount and heating time were not accurately controlled, resulting in frequent quality problems such as uneven wall thickness and dimensional deviation of the product, and the defective rate remained high, increasing the company's production costs. At the same time, when the single machine is in operation, the equipment operates independently, energy consumption is dispersed, and the heating furnace is frequently started. Stopping causes energy waste; in order to break through the bottleneck of a single machine, technical personnel in this field try to build a simple rotational molding production line, but on the one hand, the process planning is unreasonable, the functional division of the heating section, cooling section, loading and unloading section is vague, the process connection is not smooth, the mold is easily waiting and congested when transporting in each section, the production rhythm is chaotic, and the production capacity is difficult to release; and there is a lack of a buffer zone, which leads to a short-term failure in a certain section and causes the entire line to stagnate, and the production stability is poor; on the other hand, the equipment linkage is insufficient, and the operation rhythm of the rotational molding trolley does not match the heating and cooling process time. For example, heating requires precise temperature control for 16 minutes to fully plasticize the material. If the trolley's running speed is not coordinated with the heating cycle, it will cause uneven heating of the mold or energy waste, which will not only affect the quality of the product, but also increase production energy consumption.

[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art are committed to providing a rotational molding line that can effectively solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The continuous closed-loop operation of the rotational molding trolley is achieved through the circular transfer track. Combined with the coordinated layout of the oven unit, cooling unit and loading and unloading sections, an automated process of loading, heating, cooling and unloading is formed. The workstation cycle can be flexibly adapted to meet the different needs of annual production of 50,000, 80,000 and 100,000 pieces by adjusting the workstation cycle (for example, 320 seconds per trolley for 100,000 pieces and 640 seconds for 50,000 pieces). The total cycle time is stably controlled at around 20 minutes, greatly improving time and production capacity and breaking the efficiency bottleneck of traditional single-machine operation. 2. The positioning assembly precisely secures the workpiece through an outer ring, a rectangular reinforcement frame, and an inner ring. Simultaneously, through the linkage of multiple sets of bevel gears (the first to fourth bevel gears) and the drive shaft, the installed die plate drives the workpiece to rotate synchronously, ensuring uniform heating and consistent molding during the heating and cooling processes. This reduces problems such as uneven wall thickness and dimensional deviation caused by manual operation, thereby reducing the defective rate. 3. The oven unit adopts a segmented oven structure, with isolation doors and oven doors to reduce heat loss. The burner and variable frequency circulating fan work together to achieve efficient circulation of hot air, and the heating time is precisely controlled to 20 minutes, avoiding energy waste. The cooling unit uses several groups of forced air cooling fans and exhaust systems to complete workpiece shaping within 20 minutes, balancing cooling efficiency and energy consumption. Compared with the traditional single-unit frequent start-stop mode, this significantly reduces energy waste. 4. Set up inbound and outbound buffer sections and circulation buffer sections to coordinate the rhythm of heating, cooling, and loading and unloading to avoid a temporary failure in a certain section causing a stagnation of the entire line. The loading and unloading sections are connected in an orderly manner through multiple stations (such as fixture removal, robot grasping, assembly, etc.), combined with the material flow design of the internal incoming material and external finished product conveyor lines, to reduce process waiting and congestion, and improve the smoothness of the overall process; 5. Several manipulators complete loading and unloading, fixture installation and removal, and other operations, and cooperate with the power unit to drive the automatic transfer of the rotomolding trolley, reducing manual intervention. The linkage design between the loading workshop and the conveyor line realizes the automatic flow of workpieces to be processed and finished products, reducing labor costs and preventing the impact of human operation errors on production progress. 6. The drying oven of the drying unit and the cooling room of the cooling unit both adopt a segmented assembly structure. The number of heating stations (e.g., 3 heating stations for a production of 100,000 tons and 2 heating stations for a production of 50,000 tons) and cooling stations can be flexibly adjusted according to production requirements, thereby improving the versatility and scalability of the equipment to meet the production needs of different scales.
