[0006] Furthermore, the central control module determines the stability of the foam material preparation process according to the variance of the density of the finished foam material.

[0007] When the variance of the density of the finished foam material satisfies the preset first variance condition and the preset second variance condition, the central control module determines that the stability of the foam material preparation process is lower than the allowable range, wherein:

[0011] Furthermore, the central control module determines several adjustment methods for increasing the operating speed of the stirring component in the vertical direction according to the difference between the variance of the density of the finished foaming material and the preset first variance under the preset first variance condition, wherein each adjustment method has a different adjustment magnitude for increasing the operating speed of the stirring component in the vertical direction.

[0014] Wherein, the preset air pressure condition is that the air pressure inside the stirring tank is greater than the preset air pressure.

[0015] Furthermore, the central control module determines several adjustment methods for increasing the feed rate of the foaming raw material under preset air pressure conditions according to the difference between the air pressure inside the stirring tank and the preset air pressure, wherein each rate adjustment method has a different degree of adjustment for increasing the feed rate of the foaming raw material.

[0016] Further, when the initial adjustment of the vertical stirring component running speed is completed, the central control module determines whether the effectiveness of stirring is within the allowable range according to the average compression strength of the finished foaming material, wherein:

[0017] The central control module determines that the effectiveness of stirring is lower than the allowable range under the preset first compression strength condition and the preset second compression strength condition, wherein:

[0018] The central control module determines to perform secondary adjustment on the running speed of the stirring assembly in the vertical direction under the preset first compression strength condition;

[0022] Furthermore, the central control module performs a secondary determination on the stability of the stirring tank according to the fluctuation amplitude of the liquid mixed foaming raw material under the preset second compression strength condition, wherein:

[0023] The central control module determines that the stability of the mixing tank is below the allowable range under the preset amplitude condition;

[0024] Wherein, the preset amplitude condition is that the fluctuation amplitude of the liquid mixed foaming raw material is greater than the preset amplitude.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the present invention lies in that the method of the present invention detects the preparation process of the rigid foaming material and adjusts the relevant equipment by setting steps S1-S5, thereby improving the quality of the rigid foaming material, and the central control module increases the running speed of the stirring component in the vertical direction according to the variance of the density of the finished foaming material, thereby increasing the stirring degree and improving the reaction efficiency, or, according to the internal air pressure of the stirring tank, the feeding rate of the foaming raw material is adjusted, and the overflow of the raw material and the evaporation of water are reduced by increasing the feeding rate of the foaming raw material, thereby increasing the stirring vortex and reducing the reaction temperature, and completing the When the operating speed of the stirring component in the vertical direction is adjusted for the first time, due to the accelerated position change speed of the stirring component, the stirring degree at some positions is reduced, resulting in incomplete utilization of the raw materials.

[0028] Furthermore, the method of the present invention sets a preset first variance and a preset second variance, and the central control module determines the preparation stability of the foaming material according to the variance of the density of the finished foaming material. In the process of preparing the foaming material, incomplete reaction caused by insufficient stirring of the raw materials will reduce the preparation stability of the finished foaming material, which is specifically manifested in that the density between individual finished foaming materials has a large difference. By setting a preset variance difference, a preset first rate adjustment coefficient and a preset second rate adjustment coefficient, the central control module adjusts the vertical stirring component operation speed according to the difference between the variance of the density of the finished foaming material and the preset first variance. By increasing the vertical stirring component operation speed, the foaming raw materials are uniformly stirred to achieve uniform foaming of the liquid mixed foaming raw materials in the foaming mold, thereby further improving the preparation stability and preparation accuracy of the rigid foaming material.

[0029] Furthermore, the method of the present invention sets a preset air pressure under a preset second variance condition, and the central control module performs a secondary judgment on the degree of gas precipitation according to the air pressure inside the stirring tank. In the process of stirring the foaming raw materials, due to the occurrence of chemical reactions and the operation of the stirring component, the temperature and air pressure in the stirring tank will change accordingly. The increase in air pressure caused by the temperature will prompt the gas in the foaming raw materials to escape, causing the reaction to cause the loss of raw materials. By setting a preset air pressure difference, a preset first feed rate adjustment coefficient and a preset second feed rate adjustment coefficient, the central control module adjusts the feed rate of the foaming raw materials according to the difference between the air pressure inside the stirring tank and the preset air pressure. By increasing the feed rate of the foaming raw materials, the overall reaction time is shortened, thereby further improving the preparation stability and preparation accuracy of the rigid foaming material.
