Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline repair strip molds, in particular to a strip forming mold for pipeline repair and a forming process thereof. Background Art

[0002] After years of operation, pipelines will inevitably suffer from various damages and leaks due to corrosion, poor operation and management, causing serious economic losses. However, replacing new pipelines along the entire line is not only a huge project, but also costly. Therefore, pipelines need to be repaired. Currently, there are two ways to repair pipelines. One is excavation repair, which generally involves digging up the ground and then exposing the underground pipelines for repair. The other is trenchless repair, which generally involves using repair tape and mechanical equipment to mechanically spirally wrap the repair tape around the inner wall of the pipeline.

[0003] Existing repair strips are generally prefabricated special-shaped continuous PVC strip profiles in factories, and are usually produced by using a molding die and an extruder to cooperate with each other. However, the existing molding dies are generally fixed, and there are many types of special-shaped profiles. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a special-shaped mold for each special-shaped profile repair strip, which increases the cost of producing the repair strip. At the same time, it is necessary to continuously develop corresponding molds, which is troublesome and reduces the flexibility of using the molding mold. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a strip forming die and a forming process for pipeline repair, which solves the problem that traditional forming dies are fixed and cannot be changed, and avoids the need to develop corresponding forming dies for producing a repair strip, thereby reducing the cost of producing the repair strip, while reducing the trouble for staff and improving the flexibility of using the forming die.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a strip forming mold for pipeline repair, comprising a mold base, a slide groove is provided on the inner upper surface of the mold base, and the interior of the slide groove is connected to a symmetrically arranged main mold block through an adjustment mechanism, the adjustment mechanism comprises a positioning plate, and a screw is rotatably connected to the interior of the positioning plate, a slider is threadedly connected to the side surface of the screw, and the upper surface of the slider is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the main mold block, a forming hole is provided on one side surface of the main mold block, and an inner cavity is provided inside the main mold block, the inner cavity and the forming hole are connected, the inner surface of the main mold block is provided with a main connecting groove, and the rear side of the main mold block is opposite to the main mold block. The main connecting groove is provided with a connecting pin, a groove is opened inside the mold base, and the groove is located on the front side of the slide groove, a secondary mold block is provided inside the groove, and a through hole is opened inside the secondary mold block, the through hole corresponds to the inner cavity, and a secondary molding hole is opened on the front side surface of the secondary mold block, secondary connecting grooves are opened on both side surfaces of the secondary mold block, and the secondary connecting grooves correspond to the main connecting grooves, a pushing assembly is provided at the lower end of the secondary mold block, a heating pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity, and a feeding hole is provided on one side of the heating pipe, a connecting pipe is provided at one end of the feed hole, and one end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main mold block, and the other end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the extruder.

[0006] Preferably, the extruder comprises an extrusion cylinder, and a side surface of one end of the extrusion cylinder is fixedly connected to a feed port, a motor is fixedly mounted on one end of the extrusion cylinder, and one end of the motor passes through the extrusion cylinder and is connected to an auger.

[0007] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a base plate, and the base plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the auxiliary mold block, the base plate is located inside the groove, a spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate, and the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, and a limiting mechanism is provided on one side of the base plate.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting mechanism comprises a limiting groove, and the limiting groove is internally slidably connected to a limiting rod, the lower end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to a transverse plate, and the transverse plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.

[0009] Preferably, a cooling rack is fixedly connected to the front side surface of the mold base, and a water tank is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cooling rack, a nozzle is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the water tank, and a water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water tank.

[0010] A strip forming process for pipeline repair, the specific steps are as follows:

[0011] Step 1: When processing the initial repair strip profile, the staff first rotates the screw in the adjustment mechanism in the positive direction, so that the screw will drive the sliders to move closer to each other, and then the sliders drive the main mold blocks to move closer to each other. When the main mold blocks are fitted together, the staff fixes the symmetrically arranged main mold blocks together through the connecting pins and the main connecting grooves on the inner surfaces of the main mold blocks;

[0012] Step 2: Then the staff connects the main mold block to the extruder through the connecting pipe on the rear surface of the main mold block, and then puts the PVC material into the extrusion barrel through the feed port, and starts the motor at one end of the extrusion barrel. At this time, the motor drives the auger inside the extrusion barrel to transport the PVC material and heat the PVC material. Then the heated and melted PVC material enters the inner cavity, and the heating pipe inside the inner cavity further heats the PVC material. When the PVC material fills the inner cavity, it will be discharged from the inside of the forming hole, so that the initial repair strip is formed;

[0013] Step 3: After the repair strip is extruded from the forming hole, the staff will then transport water to the inside of the water tank through the water supply pipe. The water inside the water tank will be sprayed onto the repair strip extruded from the forming hole through the nozzle, thereby cooling and shaping the repair strip, and preventing the repair strip just extruded from the forming hole from deforming after touching something.

[0014] Step 4: When the initial repair strip needs to be changed, the staff first rotates the screw in the adjustment mechanism in the reverse direction. At this time, the screw will drive the main mold block to move relatively away. When the spacing of the symmetrically arranged main mold blocks is greater than the length of the auxiliary mold block inside the groove, the auxiliary mold block will rise due to the elastic force of the spring in the push-up assembly. When it rises to a certain height, the staff will slightly manually adjust the auxiliary mold block to align with the main mold block, and then the staff will rotate the screw in the adjustment mechanism in the forward direction. At this time, the main mold block will clamp the auxiliary mold block, and then the staff will connect the auxiliary mold block and the main mold block together through two sets of connecting pins, and then repeat the contents of steps 2 and 3, so that a new repair strip can be processed and formed.

[0015] The present invention provides a strip forming die for pipeline repair. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The auxiliary mold block inside the groove and the through hole opened inside the auxiliary mold block, the auxiliary molding hole cooperate with the push-up component at the lower end of the auxiliary mold block and the slider and screw in the adjustment mechanism, thereby solving the problem that traditional molding molds are fixed and cannot be changed, and avoiding the need to develop corresponding molding molds for producing a repair strip, thereby reducing the cost of producing the repair strip, reducing the trouble of the staff, and improving the flexibility of the use of the molding mold.

[0017] 2. Secondly, the limiting groove on the rear side surface of the bottom plate fixedly connected to the lower surface of the auxiliary mold block and the limiting rod inside the limiting groove cooperate with the cross plate at the lower end of the limiting rod, and can limit the auxiliary mold block, thereby improving the stability of the auxiliary mold block, and improving the splicing accuracy between the auxiliary mold block and the main mold block, while further improving the production quality of the repair strip.

[0018] 3. The formed holes installed inside the inner cavity can facilitate further heating of the melted PVC material, and prevent the PVC material inside the inner cavity from cooling and solidifying inside the inner cavity, making it inconvenient for the staff to clean the inner cavity.

[0031] A strip forming process for pipeline repair, the specific steps are as follows:

When the main mold blocks 8 are fitted together, the staff fixes the symmetrically arranged main mold blocks 8 together through the connecting pins 6 and the main connecting grooves 803 on the inner surfaces of the main mold blocks 8;

[0033] Step 2: Then the staff connects the main mold block 8 with the extruder 7 through the connecting pipe 10 on the rear surface of the main mold block 8, and then puts the PVC material into the extrusion cylinder through the feed port, and starts the motor at one end of the extrusion cylinder.

[0035] Step 4: When the initial repair strip needs to be changed, the staff first rotates the screw 902 in the adjustment mechanism in the reverse direction. At this time, the screw 902 will drive the main mold block 8 to move relatively away. When the spacing of the symmetrically arranged main mold blocks 8 is greater than the length of the auxiliary mold block 4 inside the groove 2, the auxiliary mold block 4 will be lifted by the elastic force of the spring 404 in the push-up assembly. After rising to a certain height, the staff will manually adjust the auxiliary mold block 4 slightly to align it with the main mold block 8, and then the staff will rotate the screw 902 in the adjustment mechanism in the forward direction. At this time, the main mold block 8 will clamp the auxiliary mold block 4, and then the staff will connect the auxiliary mold block 4 and the main mold block 8 together through two sets of connecting pins 6, and then repeat the contents of steps 2 and 3, so that a new repair strip can be processed and formed.
