[0001] The application relates to the field of helmets, in particular to a hollow injection molding machine for preparing an environmentally-friendly cycling helmet shell. BACKGROUND
[0002] A bicycle helmet is generally made of PP material, which is a recyclable material. After a series of crushing, cleaning, screening, modification and granulation processes, waste PC products are made into recycled particles, which are then extruded into a film or a plate, and are used in the production of bicycle helmets, and can pass the relevant cycling helmet physical property test and safety test.
[0003] The environmentally-friendly material (recycled PP material) cannot be used alone to make bicycle helmets, but needs to be mixed with part of new material (unused PP material) for making. If the two are simply mixed together to make a helmet, the appearance and strength cannot meet the relevant requirements.
[0004] Most solutions are to divide the helmet into three layers, with the outer layer and the inner layer being new material, and the middle layer being environmentally-friendly material. After being used together, the appearance and strength can meet the requirements. However, the production process of the helmet with this structure is a plastic suction process, that is, a three-layer plastic plate is prepared in advance, and then the excess plastic plate is cut off to complete the production.
[0005] The processing technology of plastic suction has some disadvantages. The middle layer of the cutting part is exposed outside, that is, the environmentally-friendly material is exposed outside. It cannot guarantee the integrity of the helmet, and the appearance is also affected to a certain extent. Therefore, further improvement is needed. SUMMARY
