Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of composite material processing technology, and more specifically, to a kneading and tearing system and method. Background Technology

[0002] When processing fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials, it is often necessary to knead and mix the chopped fibers with the resin material, and then loosen them to facilitate subsequent textile manufacturing.

[0003] In related technologies, it is often necessary to use a kneader to knead the raw materials, then manually discharge the kneaded materials and transfer them to a shredder. Furthermore, the kneaded materials often cannot be directly fed into the shredder and need to be flattened, making the entire material processing process quite cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0007] A material feeding device is provided at the discharge port to flatten the material output from the discharge port.

[0008] A storage section, located below the discharge port on a side away from the discharge port, is used to store the material discharged from the discharge port; and

[0009] A tearing device is provided at the discharge port and below the feeding device, and is used to tear the material stored in the storage section after it has been flattened.

[0010] Optionally, the kneading device includes a housing, kneading rollers, a first drive unit, and an output screw. The feed inlet is located at the top of the housing, and the discharge outlet is located on one side of the housing. Multiple kneading rollers are provided and rotatably disposed within the housing along the length of the housing. There are gaps between the multiple kneading rollers for kneading the material. The output screw is rotatably disposed within the housing at a position corresponding to the discharge outlet for outputting the kneaded material from the discharge outlet. The first drive unit is located on the side of the housing away from the discharge outlet for driving the kneading rollers and the output screw to rotate.

[0011] Optionally, the material feeding device includes a comb needle and a second driving part. The second driving part includes a first directional driving member and a second directional driving member. The second directional driving member is used to drive the comb needle to perform longitudinal reciprocating motion to drive the comb needle to insert into or pull out the material. The first directional driving member is used to drive the comb needle to perform transverse reciprocating motion so that after the comb needle inserts into the material, the comb needle will spread the material to both sides and flatten it.

[0012] Optionally, the feeding device includes a guide rail, which is horizontally positioned above the discharge port. The first directional driving component is a first cylinder, which is vertically positioned and slidably connected to the guide rail. The comb needle is vertically positioned on the piston rod of the first cylinder. The second directional driving component is a second cylinder, which is horizontally positioned. The piston rods of the first cylinder and the second cylinder are connected.

[0013] Optionally, multiple sets of the first cylinder and the comb needle are provided, with multiple first cylinders arranged side by side, and the comb needles connected to multiple first cylinders respectively.

[0014] Optionally, the feeding device is provided in two sets, with the two sets of feeding devices respectively located on both sides of the discharge port.

[0015] Optionally, the storage section includes a conveyor belt and a drive mechanism for driving the conveyor belt, with one end of the conveyor belt disposed below the discharge port.

[0016] Optionally, the tearing device includes a first tearing roller and a third driving unit. The first tearing roller is rotatably disposed below the discharge port in a horizontal direction. Multiple levers are evenly distributed on the first tearing roller. The third driving unit is used to drive the first tearing roller to rotate.

[0017] Optionally, the shredding device further includes a discharge chamber, which is inclinedly disposed below the first shredding roller and the outlet of the discharge chamber faces downward. A second shredding roller and a third shredding roller are rotatably disposed on the discharge chamber, parallel to the first shredding roller. A fourth driving part for driving the second shredding roller and the third shredding roller to rotate is provided on the discharge chamber.

[0018] A second aspect of this application provides a kneading and tearing method, the method comprising:

[0019] The various materials to be mixed are fed into the outlet according to a preset ratio, and the kneading device is used to knead and mix the materials evenly.

[0020] The kneaded and mixed material is output from the feed port, and the material is spread out by the feeding device during the output process;

[0021] The leveled material is stored through the storage section;

[0022] After the material has been laid out, it is uniformly and completely conveyed to the storage section according to the production line speed, and then the loosening device loosens the material.

[0023] The kneading and tearing system and method provided in this application firstly conveys multiple materials to a kneading device through a feed port. The kneading device kneads the materials until they are evenly mixed. Then, the kneaded and mixed materials are output from the discharge port. As the materials pass through the discharge port, they form clumps due to the kneading and output process. Therefore, after the materials are output from the discharge port, a material spreading device flattens the clumps and simultaneously conveys the flattened materials to a storage section. After all the materials have been output from the discharge port and flattened, the tearing device begins to tear the flattened materials in the storage section, thus completing the material processing. The material spreading device facilitates direct tearing of the kneaded materials without manual processing, improving the yield of the loosened materials. Furthermore, by storing the kneaded and flattened materials before tearing, the problem of mismatch between the discharge speed and the tearing speed is solved. The entire process requires no manual intervention, improving material processing efficiency and making the material processing process more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] When processing fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials, it is often necessary to knead and mix the chopped fibers with the resin material, and then loosen them to facilitate subsequent textile manufacturing.

[0033] In related technologies, it is often necessary to use a kneader to knead the raw materials, then manually discharge the kneaded materials and transfer them to a shredder. Furthermore, the kneaded materials often cannot be directly fed into the shredder and need to be flattened, making the entire material processing process quite cumbersome.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] The first aspect of this application provides a kneading and tearing system, referring to... Figure 1 The kneading and tearing system includes:

[0036] Kneading device 1, which has a feed inlet 11 and a discharge outlet 12 on one side, is used to knead and mix the material input from the feed inlet 11 and then output it.

[0037] The kneading and loosening system also includes a support frame, which consists of a support platform and four legs. The support platform has a fence around its edge and a step on one side for easy operation. The kneading device 1 is located on the support platform near its edge. The feed inlet 11 is located on the top or other side of the kneading device 1 to facilitate the output of the kneaded material. The discharge outlet 12 is located near the edge or bottom of the support platform.

[0038] Material feeding device 2 is installed at the discharge port 12 and is used to flatten the material output from the discharge port 12.

[0039] An installation plate 23 is installed near the discharge port 12. The installation plate 23 has an opening identical to that of the discharge port 12. The material feeding device 2 is installed on the installation plate 23 and above the discharge port 12. When the material is output from the discharge port 12, the material after being kneaded by the kneading device 1 is often in a clump or strip shape. Therefore, the material feeding device 2 spreads the material to both sides to achieve the effect of flattening the output material, which is convenient for subsequent loosening.

[0040] The material storage section 3 is located below the discharge port 12 on the side away from the discharge port 12, and is used to store the material output from the discharge port 12.

[0041] The storage section 3 is a conveyor belt structure. One end of the storage section 3 is located below the discharge port 12, allowing the material to fall directly onto it after discharge. The other end extends away from the discharge port 12. During material output, the kneading device 1 directly outputs all the kneaded material, resulting in a faster output speed. However, the tearing process is slower. Therefore, the storage section 3 first stores the output material before sending it to the tearing device 4. This matches the efficiency of the kneading device 1 and the tearing device 4. The material is then conveyed by the conveyor, ensuring it enters the material distribution device at a uniform speed. This process tearing the material results in a more stable output speed and a more uniform distribution of the material after tearing, achieving a uniform and quantitative output.

[0042] The tearing device 4 is located at the discharge port 12 and below the feeding device 2. It is used to tear the material stored in the storage section 3 after it has been flattened.

[0043] After the material is flattened by the feeding device 2 and completely stored on the storage section 3, the storage section 3 feeds the flattened material into the loosening device 4, thereby completing the material processing process.

[0044] Multiple materials requiring mixing are conveyed to the kneading device 1 through the feed port. The kneading device 1 kneads the materials until they are evenly mixed. The kneaded and mixed materials are then output from the discharge port 12. The material spreading device 2 spreads the kneaded materials, making it easier to directly loosen them without manual processing. This improves the yield of the loosened materials. Furthermore, by storing the kneaded and spread materials before loosening them, the problem of mismatch between the discharge speed and the loosening speed is solved. The entire process requires no manual intervention, improving material processing efficiency and making the material processing process more convenient.

[0045] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The kneading device 1 includes a housing 13, kneading rollers 14, a first drive unit 15, and an output screw 16. The feed inlet 11 is located at the top of the housing 13, and the discharge outlet 12 is located on one side of the housing 13. Multiple kneading rollers 14 are provided and are rotatably arranged inside the housing 13 along the length direction of the housing 13. There are gaps between the multiple kneading rollers for kneading the material. The output screw 16 is rotatably arranged inside the housing 13 at a position corresponding to the discharge outlet 12 for outputting the kneaded material from the discharge outlet 12. The first drive unit 15 is located on the side of the housing 13 away from the discharge outlet 12 for driving the kneading rollers 14 and the output screw 16 to rotate.

[0046] The unit includes two kneading rollers 14, which are arranged side-by-side and rotatably within the housing 13 in a horizontal direction. A gap is provided between the two kneading rollers 14 for material to pass through. The output screw 16 is rotatably positioned below and parallel to the two kneading rollers 14. The first drive unit 15 includes three sets of motor assemblies, two of which are used to drive the kneading rollers 14 to rotate relative to each other. The ends of the two kneading rollers 14 away from the discharge port 12 extend out of the housing 13, and the two sets of motor assemblies are respectively connected to the kneading rollers 14 for transmission.

[0047] In this embodiment, both the feed inlet 11 and the discharge outlet 12 are circular. The feed inlet 11 is located at the top of the housing 13, in the center of the two kneading rollers 14, so that the material falls directly into the gap between the kneading rollers 14 during feeding. The discharge outlet 12 is located in the center below the two kneading rollers 14, so that the material is located at the discharge outlet 12 during discharge. A discharge pipe is coaxially welded to the discharge outlet 12. The output screw 16 is coaxially arranged with the discharge outlet 12 and the discharge pipe. One end extends into the discharge pipe, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the housing 13 from the end away from the discharge outlet 12 and extends out of the housing 13. The remaining set of motor assemblies is connected to the output screw 16 for transmission, and is used to drive the output screw 16 to rotate during discharge to output the material from the discharge outlet 12.

[0048] Depending on the structure of the housing 13 or the working conditions, the feed port 11 can be opened in other positions of the housing 13, or different opening methods can be used to meet the feeding of different types of materials.

[0049] In other embodiments, the discharge part of the kneading device 1 can be a tipping bucket in addition to the output screw 16. The tipping bucket is rotatably set at the discharge port below the kneading device. After the material is kneaded, it falls into the tipping bucket. The tipping bucket is flipped outward to turn the material out of the discharge port and complete the discharge.

[0050] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The material feeding device 2 includes a comb needle 21 and a second drive unit 22. The second drive unit 22 includes a first direction drive member and a second direction drive member. The second direction drive member is used to drive the comb needle 21 to make longitudinal reciprocating motion to drive the comb needle 21 to insert or pull out the material. The first direction drive member is used to drive the comb needle 21 to make transverse reciprocating motion so that after the comb needle 21 inserts into the material, the comb needle 21 will spread the material to both sides and flatten it.

[0051] Specifically, the first directional drive component drives the second directional drive component to move laterally on the horizontal plane, while the second directional drive component drives the comb needle 21 to move longitudinally in the vertical direction. The combination of these two movements achieves the following: when material is output, the first directional drive component drives the second directional drive component to be above the material, and the second directional drive component drives the comb needle 21 to move downward and penetrate into the material. At the same time, the first directional drive component drives the second directional drive component to move to one side, thereby driving the comb needle 21 to push the material to one side and spread it out laterally. After spreading it out laterally, the comb needle 21 is retracted and moved back to the initial position. As material is continuously output, the above actions are repeated to spread all the material out.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, the feeding device 2 includes a guide rail 223, which is arranged horizontally above the discharge port 12. The first directional driving component is a first cylinder 221, which is arranged vertically and slidably connected to the guide rail 223. The comb needle 21 is arranged vertically on the piston rod of the first cylinder 221. The second directional driving component is a second cylinder 222, which is arranged horizontally. The piston rods of the first cylinder 221 and the second cylinder 222 are connected.

[0053] A mounting plate 23 is bolted to the housing 13 at the discharge port 12. The mounting plate 23 is installed above the discharge port 12 and has through holes that fit the discharge port 12. A guide rail 223 is welded to the mounting plate 23 in the horizontal direction and is located above the discharge port 12. A slider 224 is slidably mounted on the guide rail. A first cylinder 221 is bolted to the slider 224 in the vertical direction and the piston rod is vertically downward. The comb needle 21 is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the first cylinder 221.

[0054] The second cylinder 222 is horizontally mounted on the mounting plate 23. The piston rod of the second cylinder 222 is fixedly connected to the slider 224 through a connecting plate. The extension and retraction of the second cylinder 222 can drive the slider 224 to slide, which in turn drives the first cylinder 221 to slide. Through the extension and retraction of the first cylinder 221 and the second cylinder 222, the comb needle 21 can move up and down and left and right, that is, the flattening action of the material.

[0055] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2Multiple sets of first cylinders 221 and comb needles 21 are provided, with multiple first cylinders 221 arranged side by side, and comb needles 21 connected to multiple first cylinders 221 respectively.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first cylinder 221 has two sets of comb needles 21, and the two sets of cylinders are arranged side by side on the slider 224. The two comb needles 21 are respectively connected to the piston rods of the two first cylinders 221 to improve the leveling ability of the comb needles 21. In other embodiments, the first cylinder 221 and comb needles 21 can also be arranged in multiple sets to meet different leveling ability requirements, and the leveling effect on the material can be improved by the different extension and retraction rates of the first cylinder 221.

[0057] In other embodiments, the same first cylinder 221 can also be configured to cooperate with multiple sets of comb needles 21. For example, multiple comb needles 21 can be fixedly mounted on the same mounting block in the horizontal direction, and then the mounting block can be connected to the first cylinder 221 to improve the leveling effect.

[0058] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The feeding device 2 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of feeding devices 2 are respectively located on both sides of the discharge port 12.

[0059] Two guide rails 223 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting plate 23. The sliders 224, first cylinders 221, and comb needles 21 of the two sets of material feeding devices 2 are symmetrically arranged on the guide rails 223. Two second cylinders 222 are longitudinally staggered. One set of second cylinders 222 is positioned in front of the first cylinder 221 of the other set of material feeding devices 2. A connecting plate is bolted to each of the two sliders 224, one above and the other below, respectively, matching the positions of the two second cylinders 222. The first cylinders 221 of the two sets of material feeding devices 2 slide between the guide rails 223 and the second cylinders 222 of the other set, driven by the same set of second cylinders 222. By setting two sets of material feeding devices 2 to drive the two sets of comb needles 21 to flatten the material to both sides, the flattening efficiency of the material is effectively improved.

[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The storage section 3 includes a conveyor belt 33 and a drive mechanism 34 for driving the conveyor belt 33 to move. One end of the conveyor belt 33 is located below the discharge port 12, and the other end is horizontally arranged along the discharge direction of the discharge port 12.

[0061] The storage section 3 is a conveying device with a conveyor belt structure. The storage section 3 includes a support frame 31, on which several transmission rods 32 are rotatably mounted. A conveyor belt 33 is wound around the transmission rods 32. The upper plane of the conveyor belt 33 is horizontally arranged. The drive mechanism 34 includes a set of motor assemblies. Sprockets are coaxially mounted on the two transmission rods 32 at both ends of the storage section 3. The motor assembly drives the sprockets to rotate the transmission rods 32 through the transmission chain. By adjusting the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, the material can be driven to move in the forward and reverse directions.

[0062] One end of the storage section 3 is located below the discharge port 12, so that the material can fall directly onto the storage section 3 after discharge. The other end extends away from the discharge port 12. The drive mechanism 34 drives the rotating rod to rotate synchronously, so as to drive the conveyor belt 33 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction, thereby driving the material on the conveyor belt 33 to move. After the material falls onto the storage section 3, the conveyor belt 33 is driven to rotate away from the discharge port 12, so that the material can be stored on the conveyor belt 33. When the storage section 3 reverses, it can drive the material to move to the side of the tearing device 4, thereby tearing the material.

[0063] Except for the side closest to the discharge port 12, the storage section 3 is equipped with baffles 35 on its three other edges to prevent material from scattering at the storage point. An operating frame and steps are provided on one side of the storage section 3 to facilitate the operator's observation or operation of the material on the storage section 3.

[0064] In another embodiment, the storage section 3 is slidably arranged along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 33. During discharge, the entire storage section 3 is slid towards the side closer to the kneading device 1, so that the conveyor belt 33 is located below the feeding device 2 to receive the material. After the material is flattened by the feeding device 2 and falls completely onto the storage section 3, the storage section 3 is driven to slide away from the kneading device 1, so that a gap is exposed between the storage section 3 and the kneading device 1. Then, the conveyor belt 33 is driven to reverse, and the material is conveyed from the gap downwards to the tearing device 4 below. By sliding the storage section 3, it can adapt to different working conditions under different working conditions, avoid the material falling off during discharge, and allow the material to fall smoothly during tearing.

[0065] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The tearing device 4 includes a first tearing roller 41, which is rotatably disposed below the discharge port 12 in a horizontal direction. Multiple levers are evenly distributed on the first tearing roller 41, and a third drive unit 45 for driving the first tearing roller 41 to rotate is provided at one end of the first tearing roller 41.

[0066] The first tearing roller 41 is rotatably positioned above one end of the storage section 3, between the discharge port 12 and the storage section 3. A gap exists between the first tearing roller 41 and the upper surface of the storage section 3. The third drive unit 45 can be a set of motor components, thereby driving the first tearing roller 41 to rotate. When material is output from the discharge port 12, the first tearing roller 41 rotates above the first tearing roller 41, pushing the material onto the storage section 3. The movement of the storage section 3, in conjunction with the movement of the storage section 3, stores the material on the storage section 3. After the material has completely fallen onto the storage section 3, the reverse movement of the storage section 3 drives the material to pass under the first tearing roller 41, where it is torn apart. The first tearing roller 41 serves both as a material pusher during discharge and as a tearing action, effectively improving the applicability of the device.

[0067] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 The shredding device 4 also includes a discharge chamber 44, which is inclinedly disposed below the first shredding roller 41, and the outlet of the discharge chamber 44 faces downward away from the housing 13. A second shredding roller 42 and a third shredding roller 43 are rotatably disposed on the discharge chamber 44, parallel to the first shredding roller 41. A fourth drive unit 46 is provided on the discharge chamber 44 for driving the second shredding roller 42 and the third shredding roller 43 to rotate.

[0068] The second tearing roller 42 and the third tearing roller 43 have different diameters, which can be adapted to meet different tearing effect requirements. The second and third tearing rollers 42 and 43 are horizontally arranged and parallel to each other within the discharge chamber 44, with their rotation axes on the same horizontal plane. Multiple comb needles are evenly distributed on both rollers. The top opening of the discharge chamber 44 faces the gap between the first tearing roller 41 and the storage section 3, and is directly opposite the gap between the second and third tearing rollers 42 and 43. When material enters from the opening of the discharge chamber 44, it falls between the second and third tearing rollers 42 and 43, thus loosening the material.

[0069] The fourth drive unit 46 includes a set of motor assemblies and is bolted to the side wall of the discharge chamber 44. The power output end of the motor assembly is connected to one end of the second tearing roller 42 via a pulley drive. The other end of the second tearing roller 42 is connected to one end of the third tearing roller 43 via a pulley and a reduction gear set. Depending on the tearing effect, the second tearing roller 42 and the third tearing roller 43 are driven to rotate synchronously by the same set of motor assemblies. Depending on the different diameters of the second tearing roller 42 and the third tearing roller 43, the transmission ratio of each pulley and the reduction gear set can be adjusted to achieve different tearing effects.

[0070] In other embodiments, the tearing device 4 can also be located at the end of the storage section 3 away from the discharge port 12. After the material is output from the discharge port 12 to the storage section 3, the material can be directly input into the tearing device 4 by adjusting the conveying speed of the storage section 3.

[0071] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The kneading and tearing system also includes a control unit 5, which can be a computer. The control unit 5 is electrically connected to the kneading device 1, the feeding device 2, the storage unit 3, and the tearing device 4. The control unit 5 controls the opening and closing of each part of the device and the movement speed, so that the various devices cooperate with each other to realize the assembly line processing of materials.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] Based on the same inventive concept, another embodiment of this application provides a kneading and tearing method, the method comprising:

[0074] S1, the various materials to be mixed are fed into the outlet and kneaded and mixed evenly by the kneading device;

[0075] In this embodiment, after the fiber material and resin material are input into the kneading device according to the preset ratio, the kneading device is started, and the kneading time is determined according to the amount of material to knead the material. After the kneading is completed, the output screw in the kneading device is started to output the material from the discharge port.

[0076] S2, the kneaded and mixed material is output from the conveyor, and the material is spread out by the feeding device during the output process;

[0077] After being kneaded and output, the material is in an irregular clump or strip shape. Therefore, the material is flattened at the same time as it is output by the feeding device. At the same time, the flattening speed of the feeding device is adjusted according to the output speed of the material, so that the material is completely flattened after it is completely output.

[0078] S3, the leveled material is stored through the storage section;

[0079] While the material is being output, the storage section is driven to move the leveled material away from the discharge port, so that the leveled material is distributed on the storage section. After the material is completely output, the storage section moves to prepare for the loosening process.

[0080] S4, after the flattened material is completely output to the storage section, the flattened material is loosened by the loosening device.

[0081] Once the material is completely on the storage section, the storage section is driven to move in the opposite direction, causing the material to move toward the tearing device and begin to tear the material until it is completely torn apart.

[0082] While the material is being loosened, the next batch of material can be fed into the kneading device at the corresponding time point. After the material is loosened, the next batch of kneaded material is output and the above steps are repeated.

[0083] The material is flattened by the feeding device, which makes it easier to tear the material directly, thus improving the yield of the loosened material. Furthermore, by storing the kneaded and flattened material before tearing it, the problem of mismatch between the discharge speed and the tearing speed is solved. The whole process does not require manual intervention, which improves the material processing efficiency and makes the material processing process more convenient.

[0084] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0085] Although preferred embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0086] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or terminal device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or terminal device.
