Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of injection molding machinery, in particular to an injection molding machine. Background Art

[0002] Polypropylene foam material, referred to as PP material, has become a hot spot in the foam plastic industry for its unique and superior performance. When using polypropylene foam material for injection molding production, when using physical microporous foaming technology, supercritical fluid is often used as a foaming agent and mixed evenly with the melt. In order to ensure that the gas injection process can proceed smoothly, the existing micro-foam injection molding gas injection device needs to maintain a certain difference between the gas pressure in the gas injection device and the pressure of the melt to avoid a large amount of gas rushing into the barrel at the moment the gas injector is opened, causing gas surges. The existence of gas surges will make the gas injection process uneven and cause problems with the final product.

[0003] In the prior art, an elastic diaphragm is used. When the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the gas cylinder is large, the elastic diaphragm is deformed, thereby controlling the pressure valve through the transmission structure to reduce the flow path of the supercritical fluid and avoid gas surges. In this way, the bubbles formed by the gas introduced into the barrel are not effectively processed and the mixing effect with the melt is poor, thereby reducing the uniformity of mixing. A number of gas injection holes with different heights and a tapered structure are set on the side wall of the hollow screw, and foaming gas is introduced into the barrel through the gas injection holes. In this way, the mixing area space is too large, which can easily lead to uneven mixing, which is not conducive to rapid foaming molding. Summary of the invention

The end of the fixing ring 351 away from the connecting ring is coaxially fixedly connected with the rotating ventilation ring 352.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6-Figure 8 , a processing rod 37, the processing rod 37 is rotatably connected to one end of the main rotating shaft 32 extending into the air delivery sleeve 36, a transmission assembly is connected to the output end of the driving mechanism, the output end of the transmission assembly is connected to the processing rod 37, a cutting blade 375 is fixedly connected to the side of the processing rod 37, and the cutting blade 375 rotates with the processing rod 37 to seal the two second rectangular air passages 361 connected to the air connecting shaft 35, a torque sensor 325 is installed on the transmission assembly, and the torque sensor 325 is electrically connected to the air supply assembly.

[0048] The transmission assembly includes two transmission components, which are axially symmetrically distributed about the second gear 321. The transmission components include a second motor 322, a transmission shaft 324 and a sub-rotating shaft 372. The second motor 322 is installed on the second gear 321. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the main rotating shaft 32, and the transmission shaft 324 is rotatably connected to the connecting block. The output end of the second motor 322 and one end of the transmission shaft 324 are both coaxially fixedly connected with the first bevel gear 323, and the two first bevel gears 323 are meshed with each other. The sub-rotating shaft 372 is coaxially fixedly connected to the processing rod 37, and the other end of the transmission shaft 324 and the end of the sub-rotating shaft 372 away from the processing rod 37 are both coaxially fixedly connected with the second bevel gear 373, and the two second bevel gears 373 are meshed with each other. The torque sensor 325 is installed on the transmission shaft 324, and a sealing sleeve 326 is sealed and fixedly connected to the main rotating shaft 32. The sealing sleeve 326 is sealed with the inside of the air transmission sleeve 36, and a through hole for the transmission shaft 324 to pass through in a sealed manner is opened on the sealing sleeve 326.

[0049] When the second motor 322 is working, its output end drives the transmission shaft 324 to rotate through two vertically meshed first bevel gears 323. The transmission shaft 324 rotates through two vertically meshed second bevel gears 373 to drive the sub-rotating shaft 372 to rotate. The rotation of the two sub-rotating shafts 372 synchronously drives the processing rod 37 to rotate.

[0050] Multiple second rectangular air channels 361 are distributed in a circular array, and the distribution interval is equal to the width of the second rectangular air channel 361, so that when the cutting blade 375 is attached to the end face of the air delivery sleeve 36 and rotates, it continuously sweeps across multiple second rectangular air channel 361 ports, and the area of ​​the blocked second rectangular air channel 361 remains stable, so that the airflow pushing force it receives remains relatively stable, which is convenient for subsequent torque detection and control.

[0051] The end of the processing rod 37 away from the cutting blade 375 is fixedly connected with a counterweight block 371, which is fixed on the processing rod 37 for balancing to prevent the main shaft 32 from experiencing force changes due to centrifugal force during subsequent rotations, which affects the torque data collection of the torque sensor 325.

[0052] The two second rectangular air passages 361 sealed by the cutting blade 375 after rotating with the processing rod 37 are located on the back side of the third second rectangular air passage 361 that is not sealed and rotates around the main rotating shaft 32 . A cutting net 374 is fixedly connected between the cutting blade 375 and the processing rod 37 .

[0053] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The output end of the electric-controlled air pump 1 is also connected to the first air pipe 11, and the end of the first air pipe 11 away from the electric-controlled air pump 1 is connected to a rotating air joint 34. A first air channel 327 is opened in the main rotating shaft 32, and the rotating air joint 34 is installed on the end of the main rotating shaft 32 away from the barrel 5, and the output end is connected to the first air channel 327. A second air channel 376 is opened in the processing rod 37. When the processing rod 37 and the main rotating shaft 32 are in a coaxial state, the first air channel 327 and the second air channel 376 are connected to each other, and the end of the second air channel 376 away from the first air channel 327 is connected to the barrel 5.

[0054] A material drop opening is provided at the bottom of the bottom plate 2 , and the bottom of the material drop opening is connected to a collecting box 24 . The collecting box 24 is located at the bottom of the nozzle 51 .

[0055] The screw sleeve 4, the gas delivery sleeve 36 and the main shaft 32 are all hollow structures.

[0056] Reference Figure 1A material storage box is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 2, a hopper 22 is connected to the top of the material storage box, and a barrel 5 is connected to the output end. A rotating port is opened at the end of the material storage box away from the barrel 5, and the end of the screw sleeve 4 away from the barrel 5 is sealed and rotatably matched with the rotating port, and is connected to the output end of the external gear drive device, and is arranged in an open manner. The air delivery sleeve 36 and the main rotating shaft 32 both extend into the screw sleeve 4 through the opening. A mold clamp 23 is installed on the bottom plate 2, and a mold is installed on the mold clamp 23. The output end of the nozzle 51 is connected to the injection molding feed port on the mold.

[0057] In the present invention, when working, PP material is first added into the storage box from the hopper 22, and the material enters the barrel 5 through the storage box. The external gear driving device drives the screw sleeve 4 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw sleeve 4 rotates and shears the material in the barrel 5 to melt the material and transport it to the vicinity of the nozzle 51 of the barrel 5. When the mold clamp 23 works, after the mold is closed, the mixed material is sprayed into the mold cavity of the mold through the nozzle 51 and the injection molding feed port of the mold to form an injection molding operation;

[0058] When the materials are mixed, the electric slider 3 drives the main shaft 32 and the gas delivery sleeve 36 to move synchronously to clear space at the front end of the barrel 5, thereby reserving space for subsequent inflation processing;

[0059] When inflating, the second motor 322 is started, and the output end of the second motor 322 drives the processing rod 37 to rotate through the first bevel gear 323, the transmission shaft 324, the second bevel gear 373 and the sub-rotating shaft 372 until the cutting blade 375 on the processing rod 37 is closely attached to the side end surface of the gas transmission sleeve 36 and covers the corresponding gas ports of the two second rectangular airways 361;

[0060] The second motor 322 is turned off, and the locker in the second motor 322 works to fix the output end of the second motor 322, thereby fixing the processing rod 37 connected by transmission along the axial direction of the sub-rotating shaft 372 and preventing it from rotating, so that when the processing rod 37 rotates along the main rotating shaft 32, the cutting blade 375 is always attached to the side end surface of the gas transmission sleeve 36;

[0061] The electric-controlled air pump 1 is started to work, and the second air pipe 12 at the output end of the electric-controlled air pump 1 transfers supercritical CO 2 That is, carbon dioxide is introduced into the rotating ventilation ring 352, and the rotating ventilation ring 352 is then introduced into the square hole on the fixed ring 351 through the internal annular groove, and is ventilated through the three first rectangular airways 353 on the connecting ring to supply air to the corresponding three second rectangular airways 361 on the air delivery sleeve 36. The size of the cutting blade 375 just covers two ventilated second rectangular airways 361, and there is another uncovered and ventilated second rectangular airway 361 that ejects gas outward during subsequent rotation, and the ejected gas is cut by the cutting blade 375.

[0062] The first motor 31 is started, and the output end of the first motor 31 rotates through the first gear 311 and the second gear 321 to drive the main shaft 32 to rotate, and the fixing ring 351 rotates with the main shaft 32, so that the plurality of second rectangular airways 361 are connected in sequence, and the cutting blade 375 rotates with the main shaft 32 through the processing rod 37, always covering the latter two of the three second rectangular airways 361 to be ventilated, so that the supercritical CO 2 The gas is discharged through the second rectangular air channel 361 not covered by the cutting blade 375, and is cut by the cutting blade 375 to form bubbles of uniform size during the rotation of the processing rod 37, and is further divided into smaller bubbles by the cutting net 374 fixed on both sides of the processing rod 37, thereby improving the mechanical, thermal insulation and energy absorption properties of the material;

[0063] At the same time, when the processing rod 37 is in a non-coaxial state with the main rotating shaft 32, the processing rod 37 rotates with the main rotating shaft 32 to form a contact between the PP material and the supercritical CO in the space near the nozzle 51 of the barrel 5. 2 The blend acts as a stirrer, making the CO 2 The gas core can be more evenly distributed in the PP melt to improve the processing performance of the material and the yield rate of the product;

[0064] At the same time, the faster the processing rod 37 rotates, the more times the cutting blade 375 divides the bubbles, the finer the CO2 bubbles are, and the lighter the material is, thereby achieving the effect of improving the material performance by controlling the rotation of the processing rod 37;

[0065] The PP material and supercritical CO are mixed in a small space near the nozzle 51. 2 The mixing also avoids the problem of uneven mixing caused by excessive mixing area in large injection molded parts;

[0066] During the ventilation process, the gas introduced into the portion of the second rectangular air channel 361 covered by the cutting blade 375 exerts a pushing force on the cutting blade 375. Usually, the combined force of the pressure of the PP melt on the cutting blade 375 and the torque applied by the rotation locking of the sub-rotating shaft 372 by the output end of the second motor 322 will form a balance with the force.

[0067] When the pressure of the PP melt changes, the force balance of the cutting blade 375 will be changed. However, since the rotation of the sub-rotating shaft 372 is locked, the object will change the torque applied by the rotation lock of the sub-rotating shaft 372 to maintain the original state, and then transmit it back to the transmission shaft 324 through the two second bevel gears 373. The torque applied to the transmission shaft 324 changes, resulting in a change in the torque value detected by the torque sensor 325 connected to the transmission shaft 324. The controller receives the electrical signal of the torque sensor 325 and controls the electronically controlled air pump 1 to change the ejection of supercritical CO. 2The pressure of the cutting blade 375 is balanced again, and finally the dynamic balance between the pressure of the PP melt and the ejected supercritical CO2 gas is controlled by the electronically controlled air pump 1, so as to prevent the gas surge caused by the pressure change or the problem that the gas cannot be ejected because the PP pressure is higher;

[0068] At the same time, during the rotation process, the screw sleeve 4 works to continuously feed the mixture to the nozzle 51 to complete the injection molding step;

[0069] When the injection molding process is completed, the second motor 322 is started to drive the processing rod 37 back to its original position and to be coaxial with the main shaft 32, so that the first air channel 327 and the second air channel 376 are connected. At the same time, the electric slider 3 works to drive the main shaft 32 and the gas delivery sleeve 36 to move, so that the processing rod 37 is pushed forward until the head of the processing rod 37 is completely stuck in the nozzle 51 of the barrel 5. At this time, the electronically controlled air pump 1 works to spray high-pressure gas into the first air channel 327 through the first air pipe 11 and into the first air channel 327 through the rotating air joint 34, and then spray it into the nozzle 51 of the barrel 5 through the second air channel 376 connected thereto, so that the residual material inside the nozzle 51 is ejected and falls into the collection box 24. After completing one injection molding process and cleaning of the nozzle 51, the process of producing the next product can be started. This method allows the entire production process to be able to clean the nozzle blockage problem without stopping the machine, thereby improving production efficiency.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
