[0031] The recycling device is composed of a receiving hopper 19 and a material 20; the material 20 is located in the receiving hopper 19;

[0032] The supporting structure is composed of an adjusting screw 23, a screw base 24 and a screw head 25; the screw base 24 is fixed on the main frame 1, the adjusting screw 23 is assembled on the screw base 24, and the screw head 25 is fixed on the top of the adjusting screw 23.

[0033] The main frame 1 is made of ordinary carbon steel, and the outer side of the frame is sealed with a transparent acrylic plate.

[0034] The upper surface of the molding die is inclined, and the inclination angle is 10°-15°, and gradually decreases from the proximal end 7 to the distal end 6.

[0035] The distal end 6 and the proximal end 7 are both baffle mechanisms.

[0036] The material 20 is made of silicone oil.

[0037] A ball valve 141 is disposed in the buffer hopper 14 .

[0038] The monitoring device is provided at three locations, all of which are high-definition monitoring devices 21, respectively located at the proximal end, the middle end and the distal end of the molding die.

[0039] The thickness measuring device adopts a liquid laser thickness gauge 22, which is slidably mounted on a track and driven by a servo motor.

[0040] The lead screw head 25 is butted against the distal end 6 of the forming die. The inclination angle of the forming die can be changed by adjusting the lead screw 23, and the inclination angle range is 0°-10°.

[0041] Working principle of the present invention:

[0042] The material 20 enters the molding die from the proximal end 7 , and under the action of the diversion weir 8 , the material 20 flows out from the distal end 6 . As the material 20 fills the diversion groove, the material 20 begins to flow out from both sides of the diversion weir 8 and merges into one stream at the die tip 9 .

[0043] Among them, the material is 10000Pa.s25℃ silicone oil for molding simulation test. Silicone oil is less affected by ambient temperature, and changes in ambient temperature will not cause changes in silicone oil viscosity.

[0044] 130 kg of silicone oil is pre-injected into the buffer hopper 14, the ball valve 141 is opened, and the silicone oil begins to be injected from the feed port. At this time, the monitoring device 21 is turned on to record the flow process of the silicone oil in real time. Under the action of the distal manifold 10, the silicone oil flows out from the distal end and converges to the proximal manifold tip and the mold tip 9.

[0045] By adjusting the lead screw 23 and raising the angle of the molding die, the silicone oil accelerates to move toward the proximal end due to the dual effects of increasing the amount of silicone oil injected into the mold and raising the angle. Under the blocking effect of the proximal manifold 11 and the guide weir 8, the silicone oil gradually fills the molding die.

[0046] After the mold is filled with silicone oil, it flows out from both sides of the diversion weir 8, merges into one stream at the mold tip 9, flows into the receiving hopper 19, and is recycled and reused, thus completing the wetting process of the molding mold.

[0047] Through on-site observation and video monitoring, possible problems in the wetting process can be discovered at any time and production line improvements can be proposed.

[0048] The ball valve 141 is adjusted to control the amount of silicone oil injected, and the angle of the molding die is adjusted to 0° by adjusting the lead screw 23 .

[0049] The feeding motor 15 is started, and the silicone oil flows from the receiving hopper 19 through the lifting pipe 16 and the lifting pipe 2 17 from the discharge port 18 into the buffer hopper 14, thereby realizing the circulation of the silicone oil.

[0050] By controlling the frequency of the feeding motor 15 and adjusting the amount of silicone oil injected, the influence of the flow rate increasing or decreasing and changing rapidly on the slope of the molding thickness is observed, which is recorded and saved through the monitoring device 21, and the silicone oil flow thickness is monitored through the liquid laser thickness gauge 22.

[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention.
