[0002] This invention relates to a rubber processing apparatus, and more particularly to a highly efficient rubber mixing method. Background Technology

[0003] Currently, as rubber products become increasingly prevalent in people's lives, the number of manufacturers producing rubber products is also growing. In the manufacturing process of rubber products, plasticizing is an essential and crucial step. Most commonly used plasticizers can only process one piece of rubber at a time, and because they can only press one area, the plasticizing speed is slow and inefficient. Furthermore, the low heating efficiency of the pressure rollers also contributes to the slow plasticizing speed. Moreover, the heating temperature of the pressure rollers is difficult to control, easily causing the rubber to age, resulting in raw material waste and increased production costs.

[0004] Currently, no rubber plasticizing machine has been found on the market that can heat the pressure rollers quickly and accurately and process multiple pieces of colloid simultaneously, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency; such a machine is yet to be developed.

[0027] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of the present invention, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0028] The most crucial concept of this invention lies in the fact that by using a spiral rod with spiral blades symmetrically arranged around the central cross-section of the machine body, rubber can be extruded towards the center of the machine body, thereby replacing plasticizing with extrusion; and by using a controller, the rubber mixing mill can be automated, improving production efficiency.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 A rubber mixing machine includes a controller, a machine body 1, motors installed at both ends of the machine body 1, and a rubber mixing device 2 installed inside the machine body 1.

[0030] The rubber mixing device 2 is connected to the motors located at both ends of the machine body 1;

[0031] The machine body 1 is a cylinder with its axis horizontally arranged. A first feed port 11 and a second feed port 12 are provided at the top of both ends of the machine body 1. The first feed port 11 and the second feed port 12 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central cross-section of the machine body 1. A heating layer is provided on the inner surface of the machine body, and the heating layer is electrically connected to the controller. The machine body 1 is also provided with a feeding port 13 and a discharging port 14. The feeding port 13 is located between the first feed port 11 and the second feed port 12, and the discharging port 14 and the feeding port 13 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the machine body 1.

[0032] The rubber mixing device 2 is a spiral rod with both ends passing through the two end faces of the machine body 1, including a drive shaft 21 and spiral blades 22. The spiral blades 22 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central cross-section of the machine body 1. The spiral rod is in contact with the inner surface of the machine body 1. A temperature sensor is provided on the surface of the drive shaft 21, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0033] The surface of the portion of the spiral blade 22 located below the feed port 13 is provided with an opening 23. The two ends of the opening 23 are of different sizes, with the larger end facing the rotation direction of the spiral blade 22 during operation and the larger end of the opening 23 facing the axial direction of the feed port 13.

[0034] A viscosity sensor is also provided at the connection between the inner surface of the machine body 1 and the discharge port 14. The viscosity sensor is electrically connected to the controller; the controller is electrically connected to the motor.

[0035] A feeding solenoid valve is provided at the connection between the feeding port 13 and the machine body 1, and a discharging solenoid valve is provided at the connection between the discharging port 14 and the machine body 1. The feeding solenoid valve and the discharging solenoid valve are electrically connected to the controller.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the working process of the present invention is as follows: rubber is fed into the machine through the first feed port 11 and the second feed port 12, the motor is started, and the screw is driven to run. The movement of the screw conveys and extrudes the rubber towards the center of the machine body 1. The operation of the heating layer is controlled by the controller, and the temperature is controlled by the temperature sensor. When the rubber melts and passes through the opening 23 on the screw blade 22, it is processed. When it is necessary to add material, the material is added by controlling the feeding solenoid valve. After the viscosity sensor confirms that the processed rubber meets the viscosity requirements, the discharge solenoid valve is opened by the controller to discharge the material.

[0037] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by using a spiral rod with spiral blades 22 symmetrically arranged around the central cross-section of the machine body 1, rubber can be extruded towards the center of the machine body 1. Combined with a heating layer, the extrusion effect can be guaranteed, thereby replacing plasticizing with extrusion, saving time and reducing energy consumption; by setting the first feed port 11 and the second feed port 12, the operator can feed different quantities of rubber as needed, and the entire process can be carried out continuously without stopping the machine to change the rubber; by setting openings 23 on the spiral blades 22, the extrusion effect can be further improved; by using a controller, the rubber mixing machine can be automated, improving production efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, a molding device 3 is also provided at the discharge port 14, including a mold 31, a mold selector 32, a rotating blade 33, and a power gearbox; the mold 31 has various shaped holes for rubber to pass through, the rotating blade 33 is mounted on the surface of the mold 31 through the power gearbox, the mold selector 32 is located between the mold 31 and the rotating blade 33 and is connected to the power gearbox; the surfaces of the mold 31, the mold selector 32, and the rotating blade 33 are close to each other; the power gearbox is electrically connected to the controller.

[0039] As can be seen from the above description, the molding device 3 can select the shape and length of the rubber. When material comes out of the discharge port 14, the controller controls the power gearbox to adjust the mold selector 32, select the required hole, and make the rubber pass through the corresponding hole, thereby molding the rubber. The power gearbox controls the rotation speed of the rotating blade 33, which can control the length of the molded rubber.

[0040] Furthermore, a conveyor belt, which is a metal conveyor belt, is also provided below the discharge port 14.

[0041] As can be seen from the above description, by using a metal conveyor belt, the rubber can be conveyed while avoiding the high-temperature formed rubber blocks from sticking to the conveyor belt.

[0042] Furthermore, a heat insulation layer is also provided on the outside of the body 1.

[0043] As can be seen from the above description, by using a heat insulation layer, the heat loss inside the body 1 can be prevented, thereby achieving energy conservation and emission reduction, while also avoiding thermal pollution.

[0044] Furthermore, the heating layer consists of multiple heating plates, which are electrically connected to the controller.

[0045] As can be seen from the above description, by using multiple electric heating plates, the temperature of different areas can be controlled by a controller, thereby achieving the effect of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0046] Furthermore, the heating layer is a steam pipe, and a steam pipe valve is installed on the steam pipe, which is connected to the controller.

[0047] As can be seen from the above description, by using steam pipes and steam pipe valves, the temperature of different areas can be controlled by a controller, thereby achieving the effect of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0048] Furthermore, feed valves are provided at the first feed port 11 and the second feed port 12, and are connected to the controller.

[0049] As can be seen from the above description, by using the feed valve controlled by the controller, the rubber can be processed in the required amount, and when the rubber is discharged after processing, it can be automatically replenished without manual operation.

[0050] Furthermore, the feeding solenoid valve is a one-way valve.

[0051] As can be seen from the above description, by using a one-way feeding solenoid valve, the working pressure at the center section of the machine body 1 is high, which avoids the rubber from entering the feeding port 13 due to excessive pressure, thus preventing waste of raw materials.
