[0001] This invention belongs to the field of foam board preparation technology, specifically relating to an apparatus for preparing irregularly shaped foam boards and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Foam board, also known as EPS board or polystyrene foam board, is a white material made of expandable polystyrene beads containing volatile liquid foaming agents. After being pre-expanded by heating, the beads are formed in a mold. It has a micro-closed-cell structure and is widely used in building walls, roof insulation, composite board insulation, cold storage, air conditioning, vehicle and ship insulation, floor heating, decoration and carving, etc.

[0044] The second locking and sealing assembly 12, the first U-shaped locking and sealing assembly 16, and the second U-shaped locking and sealing assembly 21 have the same structure as the first locking and sealing assembly 9.
[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, the implementation method of this solution is as follows:
[0046] Step 1: Define the standard dimensions of the first substrate 7, the third substrate 11, the first U-shaped seal 15, the second U-shaped seal 20, the third U-shaped seal 30, and the fourth U-shaped seal 35, and carry out mass production;
[0047] Step 2: Obtain production orders, and according to the order dimensions, use a combination of the first substrate 7, the third substrate 11, the first U-shaped seal 15, the second U-shaped seal 20, the third U-shaped seal 30 and the fourth U-shaped seal 35 to assemble a sealed box.
[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, the implementation method of this solution is as follows: formulate the most economical size scheme according to the required irregular foam board to be produced, and determine the number of first U-shaped seals 15 and second U-shaped seals 20 to be used according to the size;
[0049] Fix the base plate 1 to the ground or select a position in the production site, install the first sliding member 3 and the second sliding member 4 on the base plate 1 along the first sliding groove 2, and install two cylinders 5 on the base plate 1. One cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the first sliding member 3, and the other cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the second sliding member 4. The upper height of the push plate of the cylinder 5 can block part of the first U-shaped seal and the second U-shaped seal, so as to make the first sliding member 3 and the second sliding member 4 move closer or further away from each other.
[0050] First, insert the first engaging and sealing component 9 of the first substrate 7 into the first engaging groove 13 of the third substrate 11, and select the corresponding third U-shaped seal 30. After the first substrate 7 and the third substrate 11 are assembled, the first U-shaped sealing groove 10 and the second engaging groove 14 are connected. Insert the third U-shaped engaging and sealing component 31 of the third U-shaped seal 30 into the first U-shaped sealing groove 10 and the second engaging groove 14 for assembly. Second, assemble the third U-shaped sealing groove 19 of the first U-shaped seal 15 with the fourth U-shaped engaging and sealing component 32 of the third U-shaped seal 30. Third, assemble the second engaging groove 14 of the second first U-shaped seal 15 with the first first U-shaped seal 15. The first U-shaped locking sealing component 16 of the U-shaped sealing component 15 engages and repeats sequentially until the minimum standard size of the produced irregular foam board is reached. Then, the second substrate 8 and the second third substrate 11 are assembled in the same way as the first substrate 7 and the first first substrate 7. After the second substrate 8 and the second third substrate 11 are combined, the first U-shaped sealing groove 10 and the second locking groove 14 engage with the first U-shaped locking sealing component of the first U-shaped sealing component to form a half-sealed box. The telescopic cylinder 26 pushes the concave and convex parts 28 of the U-shaped locking sealing component from the side of the first substrate 7 and the second substrate 8 towards the center, causing the concave and convex parts 28 of the U-shaped locking sealing component to deform and fit tightly with the sealing groove, thereby achieving a seal.
[0051] According to the above steps and connection method, the second first substrate 7, the second second substrate 8, the third third substrate 11, the fourth fourth substrate 11, the second U-shaped seal 20 and the fourth U-shaped seal 35 are combined to form a half-sealed box.
[0052] The cylinder 5 pushes the two half-boxes closer together. When they come into contact, the third sealing engagement component 17 and the fourth sealing engagement component 18 of the first U-shaped seal 15 engage with the fifth U-shaped sealing groove 23 and the sixth U-shaped sealing groove 24 of the second U-shaped seal 20. At the same time, the fifth sealing engagement component 33 and the sixth sealing engagement component 34 of the third U-shaped seal 30 engage with the seventh sealing groove 38 and the eighth sealing groove 39 of the fourth U-shaped seal 35 and seal them together with the compression.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
