Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of injection molding, and in particular to an injection molding production line and process for a thermosetting elastomer rail bottom pad. Background Art
[0002] Thermosetting elastomer rail pads are made by polymerizing polyester and polyether high-strength macromolecular chain monomers in different proportions using the principles of polymer mechanics and structural reorganization. Under high temperature conditions, a variety of molecular monomers are polymerized into a macromolecular assembly with a three-dimensional network structure, and the molecules have a high bonding strength. Through the cross-linking density of molecular polymerization, small molecular chain monomers with organic chain segments are introduced during polymerization to polymerize into high-strength, high-elasticity thermosetting elastomer rail pads, which can meet the high-strength use requirements of rail pads in heavy-load railways, mixed passenger and freight transportation, and curved turns. While meeting the use conditions, it also extends the service life of the pads, and has better economic benefits than ordinary rubber pads that serve in harsh conditions.
[0003] Thermosetting elastomer rail pads can withstand 300 million tons of axle weight without crushing damage under normal operating conditions of the line after long-term use; they can be interchanged with existing rubber pads and are easy to install; thermosetting elastomer rail pads have the advantages of high strength, good resilience after compression, and small compression deformation.
[0004] However, in the actual production of thermosetting elastomer rail pads, the raw materials need to be mixed and then introduced into the corresponding mold for molding. For thermosetting materials, mold molding is often accompanied by the generation of bubbles, resulting in a low product yield. In addition, the corresponding molded products are difficult to demold after molding, resulting in a slow improvement in product production efficiency, which is not conducive to the efficient and automated production of thermosetting elastomer rail pads.

[0038] Another object of the present invention is to provide a thermosetting elastomer rail pad injection molding process in view of the deficiencies in the prior art. The production of the thermosetting elastomer rail pad is achieved by combining step one with step five. The produced thermosetting elastomer rail pad has the characteristics of high strength and appropriate stiffness, and can effectively ensure the geometric shape and position; it has good oil resistance and weather resistance, and can withstand long-term immersion in grease without swelling, deformation, crushing, etc.; and compared with traditional rubber pads, the service life of the thermosetting elastomer rail pad is greatly improved, which effectively reduces the replacement frequency and maintenance workload of the rail pad, saves maintenance costs, and has significant social and economic benefits.
[0039] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0040] Step 1: Mold assembly: The mold unit is closed by lifting the constraint frame and moved to the bottom of the mold filling unit for injection preparation;
[0041] Step 2: Material injection: the injection unit injects the mixed material into the molding cavity of the mold unit;
[0042] Step 3: Vibration for uniform debubbling: The upper triggering groove pushes the impact head to impact the vibrating mold unit, so that the bubbles inside the mold unit rise and are discharged by the suction unit whose top descends to perform synchronous motion suction;
[0043] Step 4: Thermosetting pressing: When the mold unit moves to the bottom of the pressing unit, the heated pressing unit moves downward to heat and press the material inside the mold unit to shape it;
[0044] Step 5: Rising demoulding: The demoulding track plate pulls and pushes the demoulding plate to rise, so that the lower pad rises from the inside of the mold unit to demould.
[0045] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0046] (1) The mold unit of the present invention can facilitate the molding of materials inside the molding cavity surrounded by the opening and closing plates and the stripping plate through the opening and closing plates that rotate and close together from the outside to the inside and the stripping plate that moves at the bottom. After molding, the opening and closing plates are expanded outward and the stripping plate is lifted upward to achieve rapid demolding of the lower pad.
[0047] (2) The present invention realizes synchronous operation of the rotary belt and the mobile power unit. When the constraint frame moves along the circulating rail to the first lifting rail under the drive of the mobile power unit, the constraint frame is slightly tilted and rises along the height direction of the mold unit. Under the elastic constraint of its inner rubber layer, when the mobile power unit reaches a flat state after passing the first lifting rail, the constraint frame elastically constrains the constraint block to close the opening and closing plate, so that the mold unit completes the closed assembly, which is convenient for the injection molding pipe head to inject the mixed raw materials into the molding cavity inside the mold unit.
[0048] (3) The present invention covers the surface of the mold unit by telescoping the exhaust chamber plate downward, and at this time, the impact head on the outside of the constraint frame will periodically contact the raised inner wall of the molding unit at that location, and under the reset of the upper trigger groove and the elastic member, the impact head will periodically impact the mold unit, thereby activating the bubbles inside the mold unit, making it easier for the exhaust chamber plate to remove the bubbles inside the mold unit, thereby achieving control of the molding quality of the lower pad and ensuring that the thermosetting elastomer rail lower pad has high strength.
[0049] (4) The present invention presses down the pressing plate in the pressing unit so that the material inside the mold unit is solidified and formed during the heating and pressing. After the solidification is completed, the mobile power unit will fall along the second lifting rail and return to the circulation rail, driving the constraint frame to move down to the bottom of the constraint block, so that the constraint of the opening and closing plate is released. After the constraint of the opening and closing plate is released, the bending plate moves to the lifting plate, so that the bending plate, under the guidance of the lifting plate, drives the stripping plate to rise, so that the formed lower pad is removed from the inside of the mold unit, thereby achieving efficient demolding; after the demolding is completed, the suction unit that extends and retracts at the bottom of the mold removal unit will remove the lower pad from the mold, and when the constraint frame moves to the lower trigger groove, the impact head continues to impact the mold unit, so that the remaining molding residues in the mold unit are vibrated and removed, which is convenient for subsequent automated cyclic production.
[0050] (5) The thermosetting elastomer rail pad of the present invention has the characteristics of high strength and appropriate rigidity, and can effectively ensure the geometric shape and position; it has good oil resistance and weather resistance, and can be soaked in oil for a long time without swelling, deformation, crushing and the like; compared with the traditional rubber pad, the service life of the thermosetting elastomer rail pad is greatly improved, which effectively reduces the replacement frequency and maintenance workload of the rail pad, saves maintenance costs, and has significant social and economic benefits.
[0051] In summary, the present invention has the advantages of high efficiency and good defoaming effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0104] The pressing unit 4 comprises a pressing frame 401, a pressing driving unit 402 is arranged in the middle of the pressing frame 401, the pressing driving unit 402 is preferably an oil cylinder, a pressing plate 403 is arranged at the bottom of the pressing driving unit 402, a heat setting cavity 4031 is arranged inside the pressing plate 403, the heat setting cavity 4031 is connected to the heat setting unit 404 through a conduit 4041, and the heat setting unit 404 is preferably a Prade air duct heater or a Beichen Yike high-frequency electromagnetic induction heater, which is convenient for heating the pressed pressing plate 403.
[0105] The mold taking unit 6 comprises a mold taking frame 601, and the mold taking frame 601 is arranged on the top of the mounting plate 103.
[0106] A mobile mold taking unit 602 is arranged in the middle of the mold taking frame 601, and a suction unit 603 is arranged at the bottom of the mobile mold taking unit 602. The mobile mold taking unit 602 is preferably a cylinder, and the suction unit 603 is preferably a robot or a suction cup driven by an air source. At the same time, a synchronous camera 3041 is required to be arranged at the bottom of the pressing frame 401, the mold taking frame 601, and the mold filling bracket 201 to improve the accuracy of docking.
[0107] The mold unit 505 can facilitate the molding of the material inside the molding cavity 5051 surrounded by the opening and closing plates 5053 and the stripping plates 5056 through the opening and closing plates 5053 that rotate and close to each other from the outside to the inside, and the stripping plates 5056 that move at the bottom. After molding, the opening and closing plates 5053 are expanded outwards and the stripping plates 5056 are lifted upwards, so that the lower pad can be quickly demoulded.
[0108] Through the synchronous operation of the revolving belt 502 and the mobile power unit 5041, when the constraint frame 507 is driven by the mobile power unit 5041 to move along the circulating rail 501 to the first lifting rail 5011, the constraint frame 507 is slightly tilted and rises along the height direction of the mold unit 505. Under the elastic constraint of the inner rubber layer, when the mobile power unit 5041 reaches the plane state after passing the first lifting rail 5011, the constraint frame 507 elastically constrains the constraint block 50531 to close the opening and closing plate 5053, so that the mold unit 505 completes the closed assembly, which is convenient for the injection molding pipe head 205 to inject the mixed raw materials into the molding cavity 5051 inside the mold unit 505;
[0109] After the injection molding is completed, the exhaust chamber plate 305 is telescopically moved downward to cover the surface of the mold unit 505, and at this time, the impact head 5044 on the outside of the constraint frame 507 will periodically contact the inner wall of the molding unit 1 protruding there, and under the reset of the upper trigger groove 107 and the elastic member 50442, the impact head 5044 will periodically impact the mold unit 505, thereby activating the bubbles inside the mold unit 505, so that the exhaust chamber plate 305 can remove the bubbles inside the mold unit 505, thereby realizing the control of the molding quality of the lower pad, and ensuring that the thermosetting elastomer rail lower pad has high strength;
[0110] After the suction is completed, the suction chamber plate 305 is reset. When the mold unit 505 moves to the pressing unit 4, the pressing plate 403 in the pressing unit 4 is pressed down, so that the material inside the mold unit 505 is solidified and formed during the heating and pressing. After the solidification is completed, the mobile power unit 5041 will fall along the second lifting rail 5011 and return to the circulation rail 501, driving the constraint frame 507 to move down to the bottom of the constraint block 50531, so that the constraint of the opening and closing plate 5053 is released. After the constraint of the opening and closing plate 5053 is released, the bending plate 5058 moves to the top plate At 5062, the bending plate 5058, under the guidance of the lifting plate 5062, drives the stripping plate 5056 to rise, so that the formed lower pad is removed from the inside of the mold unit 505, thereby achieving efficient demolding; after the demolding is completed, the suction unit 603 that is telescoped at the bottom of the mold unit 6 will remove the lower pad from the mold, and when the constraint frame 507 moves to the lower trigger groove 108, the impact head 5044 continues to impact the mold unit 505, so that the remaining molding residues in the mold unit 505 are vibrated and removed, which is convenient for subsequent automated cycle production.
[0111] Embodiment 2
[0112] like Fig.13 As shown, this embodiment provides a thermosetting elastomer rail bottom pad injection molding production process, comprising the following steps:
[0113] Step 1: mold assembly: by lifting the constraint frame 507, the mold unit 505 is closed and moved to the bottom of the mold filling unit 2 for injection preparation;
[0114] Step 2: Injection: The injection unit 2 injects the mixed material into the molding cavity 5051 of the mold unit 505;
[0115] Step 3: Uniformly remove bubbles by vibration: The upper triggering groove 107 pushes the impact head 5044 to impact the vibrating mold unit 505, so that the bubbles inside the mold unit 505 rise and are discharged by the suction unit 3 whose top descends to perform synchronous suction;
[0116] Step 4: Thermosetting pressing: When the mold unit 505 moves to the bottom of the pressing unit 4, the heated pressing unit 4 moves downward to heat and press the material inside the mold unit 505 to shape it;
[0117] Step 5: Rising and demoulding: The demoulding track plate 506 pulls and pushes the demoulding plate 5056 to rise, so that the lower pad rises from the inside of the mold unit 505 and is demoulded.
[0118] Embodiment 2
[0119] The performance test steps for the elastomeric rail underpad product produced in Example 2 are as follows:
[0120] 1. Tensile strength and elongation at break

Their standard lengths and thicknesses are shown in Table 1. The specimens are symmetrically clamped on the upper and lower clamps of the tensile testing machine to evenly distribute the tensile force on the cross section. The moving speed of Type 1, 2, and 1A specimens is 500mm / min±50mm / min, and the moving speed of Type 3 and Type 4 specimens is 200mm / min±20mm / min. The tensile strength is detected to be 40.68MPa and the elongation at break is 385.66%

[0124] 2. Static stiffness
[0125] The constant compression permanent deformation test was carried out according to the provisions of TB / T2626-1995. The sample was a pad product. The load was uniformly loaded at a speed of 2-3KN per second. The measured result was 162KN / mm.
[0126] 3. Constant compression permanent deformation test
[0127] The constant compression permanent deformation test is carried out according to the provisions of TB / T2626-1995. The specimen is a circular specimen with a center diameter of 30mm on the pad and the thickness of three points without grooves in the center of the specimen is tested. The average value is taken as the thickness before compression. The specimen is then compressed using a specimen machine and placed in an air aging tester.
[0128] 4. Test on compression deformation recovery of rail pad
[0129] A vertical load is applied to the pad by the testing machine, so that the pad surface is compressed and deformed, and the deformation is uniformly 1-3 mm, which is maintained for 10 minutes. Then the load is unloaded. After maintaining for 5 minutes, a digital vernier caliper is used to read the thickness of the pad near the four foot points of the pad and the midpoint of the two corresponding foot points in the horizontal direction. The average of the corresponding readings at the 6 points is the recovery value of the pad.
[0130] Through the above test method, multiple groups of product performance parameters are obtained as shown in Table 2:
