Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold equipment technology, specifically a molding die for preparing biomass fuel from straw. Background Technology

[0002] Biomass fuel refers to fuel produced by burning biomass materials, primarily agricultural and forestry waste (such as straw, sawdust, bagasse, and rice husks). Currently, the molding dies for preparing biomass fuel from straw face the following prominent problems in practical applications: Traditional mold cavities often have metal inner walls that directly contact the raw materials, resulting in strong surface adhesion. This causes the formed biomass fuel to easily stick to the mold cavity, requiring additional external force during demolding and leading to a high fuel breakage rate, severely impacting the yield. Some molds use external heating, but the heating element distribution is unreasonable, resulting in a large temperature difference between the mold cavity perimeter and bottom. This prevents the lignin in the straw from softening evenly, leading to insufficient bonding force in the formed fuel and causing problems such as cracking and uneven density. Furthermore, because straw raw materials contain hard particles such as silica, the mold cavity inlet and pressing contact area of ​​traditional molds are subjected to long-term compression and wear, resulting in decreased mold cavity dimensional accuracy. This necessitates complete mold replacement, leading to frequent downtime maintenance and high costs. To address these issues, we propose a straw-based biomass fuel forming mold.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a straw-to-biomass fuel molding die, including a lower mold body 13 mounted on a base 1, a mold cavity 14 opened at the top center of the lower mold body 13, a hardening layer 15 and an elastic demolding layer 16 arranged sequentially on the inner wall of the mold cavity 14, a mesh heating element 17 and a temperature sensor 31 embedded in the lower mold body 13, an upper mold body 18 arranged above the lower mold body 13, the upper mold body 18 is mounted below a lifting seat 19, a hydraulic cylinder 2 is connected to the top of the lifting seat 19, a pressing seat 22 is arranged at the bottom of the upper mold body 18, a wear-resistant bushing 24 is detachably installed in the clearance groove 23 on the outer ring of the pressing seat 22, an installation hole 26 is opened on the outer side of the wear-resistant bushing 24, and a bolt 27 is screwed into the installation hole 26.

[0018] The hardened layer 15 (such as a nitriding or laser cladding layer) on the inner wall of the mold cavity and the elastic release layer 16 on the surface of the hardened layer 15 work together to solve the problem of wear on the mold cavity by hard particles in the straw raw material. At the same time, the low adhesion characteristics of the innermost elastic release layer are used to reduce the adhesion between the fuel and the mold cavity, improve the demolding efficiency and reduce the breakage of the finished product.

[0019] The embedded mesh heating element 17 and temperature sensor 31 enable uniform heating of the mold cavity walls and bottom, precisely control the heating temperature, ensure that the straw lignin is fully softened, and improve the bonding strength of the molded fuel.

[0020] The removable wear-resistant bushing 24 on the outer ring of the pressing seat is fixed by bolts, which solves the problem that the traditional mold needs to be replaced as a whole in the easily worn areas, and realizes local quick replacement, reducing maintenance costs.

[0021] In the above scheme, a support column 11 is provided on the top of the base 1, and a top plate 12 is provided on the top of the support column 11. The top plate 12 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 2. The support column 11 and the top plate 12 form a stable support structure, ensuring that the hydraulic cylinder 2 is installed vertically, so that the upper mold body 18 is subjected to uniform force during the pressing process, avoiding uneven compaction of raw materials caused by tilting, and ensuring the consistency of the molding fuel density.

[0022] In the above scheme, the mesh heating element 17 is a resistance wire or a thermally conductive silicone sheet, and it is evenly distributed on the periphery and bottom of the mold cavity 14. By using a resistance wire or a thermally conductive silicone sheet as the heating element, combined with a uniform distribution design, the heating efficiency of the mold cavity is significantly improved compared with traditional external heating methods, temperature gradients are eliminated, and molding defects (such as cracking and loosening) caused by local overheating or insufficient heating are reduced.

[0023] In the above scheme, the temperature sensor 31 is connected to the display screen 3 via a wire, and the display screen 3 is electrically connected to the control switch 28 and the power supply 29. The temperature sensor 31 monitors the mold cavity temperature in real time and feeds it back to the display screen 3. The operator can adjust the heating power through the control switch 28 to achieve precise control of the mold cavity temperature (e.g., adjustable from 180-220℃), avoiding unstable molding quality caused by temperature fluctuations.

[0024] In the above scheme, the lifting seat 19 has a through hole, and a guide rod 21 is movably inserted into the through hole. The guide rod 21 and the through hole of the lifting seat 19 cooperate to form a guiding mechanism, ensuring that the upper mold body 18 is vertically lifted and lowered under the drive of the hydraulic cylinder, avoiding lateral displacement during the pressing process, ensuring that the pressing seat 22 and the mold cavity 14 are coaxially aligned, and improving the uniformity of raw material compaction.

[0025] In the above scheme, a sealing ring 25 is provided at the connection between the wear-resistant bushing 24 and the pressing seat 22. The sealing ring 25 prevents straw powder or lubricant from seeping into the connection gap between the wear-resistant bushing and the pressing seat, avoiding bushing jamming or accelerated wear due to impurity accumulation, and ensuring the long-term reliability of the detachable structure.

[0026] In the above scheme, the outer diameter of the pressing seat 22 is the same as the inner diameter of the mold cavity 14, and a threaded hole is provided on the outer side of the pressing seat 22. The outer diameter of the pressing seat is consistent with the inner diameter of the mold cavity to ensure that the raw material is compacted without gaps in the mold cavity during pressing, avoiding material leakage at the edges or insufficient compaction; the threaded hole on the outer side can be used to fix the wear-resistant bushing, improving structural compatibility.

[0027] Working principle: The working process of this straw-to-biomass fuel molding die is as follows: The crushed straw raw material is poured into the feeding device, and the power supply 29 is turned on by the control switch 28. The mesh heating element 17 preheats the mold cavity to the set temperature (such as 200℃). The temperature sensor 31 monitors the temperature in real time and displays the temperature data on the display screen 3 to ensure that the mold cavity is heated evenly.

[0028] The raw material falls into the mold cavity 14 through the feed port. The hydraulic cylinder 2 drives the lifting seat 19 and the upper mold body 18 to move downward. The pressing seat 22 enters the mold cavity along with the upper mold body 18. The pressing seat 22, whose outer diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the mold cavity, applies uniform pressure to the raw material. During the pressing process, the guide rod 21 ensures that the upper mold moves vertically and avoids uneven pressure caused by tilting; the mesh heating element continuously heats the straw, softening the lignin and bonding it with the fiber to form the shape.

[0029] After holding the pressure for 10-30 seconds, the hydraulic cylinder 2 drives the upper mold body 18 to rise and reset. The elastic release layer 16 reduces the friction between the fuel and the mold cavity due to its low adhesion properties. The molded fuel quickly leaves the mold cavity under the action of gravity or the release rod.

[0030] When the wear-resistant bushing 24 shows obvious wear, the old bushing can be removed by unscrewing the bolt 27 and replaced with a new wear-resistant bushing. The replacement time is short and there is no need to stop the machine to inspect the entire mold.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
