Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plastic molding, in particular to a thermoplastic polyurethane material blow molding cooling device and blow molding equipment. Background Art

[0002] Plastic molding technology is an extremely important part of modern industry. It heats plastic materials to make them flow, then forms them through molds and cools them to set. It is widely used in medical equipment, automotive parts, aviation equipment parts and other fields. With the increasing attention paid to environmental issues around the world, the environmental problems faced by plastic products are becoming increasingly prominent. For example, thermoplastic polyurethane materials (TPU for short) are non-degradable, making them difficult to decompose in the natural environment, and gradually accumulate to cause "white pollution."

[0003] In order to deal with the environmental hazards of plastic waste, some improved technical solutions have been proposed in recent years, such as centralized recycling and treatment methods such as biodegradation, photodegradation, and chemical degradation. The above technical solutions require screening out plastic products from a large amount of garbage or sorting out plastic products through garbage sorting, and then these plastic products are centrally treated. However, these centralized treatment technologies face a fundamental problem, that is, they cannot completely cover all plastic products; many plastic products are widely distributed and small in size, making it difficult to completely treat them through centralized recycling, resulting in a considerable amount of plastic still remaining in the environment, thereby continuing to pollute the soil, water bodies and wildlife.

[0004] Based on this, those skilled in the art have also proposed some technical solutions for plastic products themselves, so that plastic products can be automatically degraded in the natural environment without complicated centralized treatment. For example, polylactic acid material (abbreviated as PLA) is more degradable than thermoplastic polyurethane material, but compared with thermoplastic polyurethane material, its heat resistance, toughness and other parameters are poor, and it is not suitable for use in high-intensity or harsh environments. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new plastic molding equipment to meet the performance requirements and environmental protection requirements of plastic products at the same time.

[0046] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0047] Embodiment 1:

[0048] The thermoplastic polyurethane material blow molding cooling device provided in the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for use in blow molding equipment for molding thermoplastic polyurethane products, which is equivalent to the mold itself. In this embodiment, by improving the structure of the thermoplastic polyurethane material blow molding cooling device, it is possible to add a substance for degradation during the molding process of the thermoplastic polyurethane product, so that the thermoplastic polyurethane product has the ability to degrade in the natural environment, thereby simultaneously meeting the performance requirements of plastic products and environmental protection requirements. In addition, the overall structure of the thermoplastic polyurethane material blow molding cooling device also has the requirements of compact structure and high stability, meeting various performance requirements in the blow molding process.

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the thermoplastic polyurethane material blow molding cooling device in this embodiment includes a blow molding mold 100 and a first air source part (not shown in the figure). The blow molding mold 100 is provided with a columnar blow molding cavity 101. The contour of the blow molding cavity 101 matches the contour of the thermoplastic polyurethane product, so that after the blank is blown up, gas can be injected through the blowing port 1011 at the top of the blow molding cavity 101, so that the blank expands into a corresponding shape.

[0050] The blow molding mold 100 also includes an airflow cavity 102 arranged outside the blow molding cavity 101, and a cavity wall portion 103 is arranged between the blow molding cavity 101 and the airflow cavity 102; the first air source portion is connected to the airflow cavity 102, and is used to input a first airflow containing microorganism capsules. In this embodiment, the first air source portion refers to an air source device for conveying airflow into the blow molding mold 100, and is used to provide an airflow containing microorganism capsules so that the microorganism capsules can be infiltrated into the thermoplastic polyurethane product during the molding process. The power of the first air source portion includes but is not limited to structures such as air pumps, compressors, and fans. The way in which the first air source portion is doped with microorganism capsules includes but is not limited to means such as spraying and aerosols, and it is sufficient to form a first airflow containing microorganism capsules, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0051] The cavity wall 103 is provided with a permeable channel 104 connecting the blow molding cavity 101 and the air flow cavity 102; the air flow cavity 102 is provided with a metal deformation part 200 whose curvature is positively correlated with the temperature, and the metal deformation part 200 is configured with at least a first curvature at a first temperature and a second curvature at a second temperature. Wherein, at the first temperature, the metal deformation part 200 is in contact with the cavity wall 103 with the first curvature, and at this time, the first air flow cannot enter the blow molding cavity 101; at the second temperature, the curvature of the metal deformation part 200 is reduced to the second curvature, so that the metal deformation part 200 is spaced apart from the cavity wall 103 with a first spacing, so that the first air source part can be connected with the air flow cavity 102, the permeable channel 104 and the blow molding cavity 101 in sequence; wherein, the second temperature is lower than the inactivation temperature of the microbial capsule.

[0052] Specifically, the working principle of the thermoplastic polyurethane material molding process is as follows: the thermoplastic polyurethane material is pre-injection molded at a temperature higher than the first temperature, and is blown into shape after entering the blow molding cavity 101. During the cooling process, the temperature gradually decreases. When the temperature is lower than the second temperature, the curvature of the metal deformation part 200 decreases, and it is separated from the annular cavity wall part 103 and arranged at intervals, so that the first air source part can be connected with the air flow cavity 102, the permeation channel 104 and the blow molding cavity 101 in sequence, so that during the cooling process of the thermoplastic polyurethane material, the microbial capsules can be infiltrated into it in the form of heat penetration, thereby obtaining a thermoplastic polyurethane product with a composite microbial capsule, so that the thermoplastic polyurethane product can be naturally degraded when it is landfilled in the later stage. On the one hand, the thermoplastic polyurethane product meets the performance requirements, and on the other hand, the added microbial capsules enable the product to be naturally degraded. Therefore, the thermoplastic polyurethane material blow molding cooling device and blow molding equipment simultaneously meet the performance requirements and environmental protection requirements of plastic products. In addition, it should be noted that the metal deformation part 200 whose curvature is affected by temperature is used to stably achieve the penetration of the microbial capsule at the second temperature, effectively avoiding the inactivation of the microbial capsule at high temperature, thereby ensuring that the microbial capsule is not inactivated, thereby ensuring the stability of production.

[0053] On the basis of the above embodiment, the metal deformation part 200 includes two layers of metal plates, the thermal expansion coefficient of the inner metal plate close to the cavity wall part 103 is smaller than the thermal expansion coefficient of the outer metal plate away from the cavity wall part 103, and when the temperature rises, the deformation of the outer metal plate is greater than the deformation of the inner metal plate, so that the metal deformation part 200 bends toward the cavity wall part 103 and fits with the cavity wall part 103 at the first temperature. Accordingly, after the temperature drops, the thermoplastic polyurethane product is gradually formed, and the metal deformation part 200 is gradually separated from the cavity wall part 103, so that the first airflow can enter the blow molding cavity 101 to complete the penetration of the microbial capsule.

[0054] On the basis of the above embodiment, the microbial capsule can be Bacillus subtilis, and gelatin or other materials can be optionally wrapped around the outside of Bacillus subtilis. Among them, the inactivation temperature of Bacillus subtilis is close to 135 degrees, and the processing temperature of thermoplastic polyurethane is about 160 degrees. The first temperature can be set to 160 degrees and the second temperature can be set to 130 degrees. Then at 160 degrees, the thermoplastic polyurethane product begins to cool and set. At this time, Bacillus subtilis is not infiltrated into the thermoplastic polyurethane product to avoid inactivation of Bacillus subtilis; when the temperature drops to 130 degrees, the curvature of the metal deformation part 200 is reduced to the second curvature, so that the metal deformation part 200 is spaced from the cavity wall part 103 at a first spacing, so that the first air source part can be connected with the airflow cavity 102, the permeation channel 104 and the blow molding cavity 101 in sequence, which can ensure the activity of Bacillus subtilis infiltrated into the thermoplastic polyurethane product, thereby ensuring the quality of the thermoplastic polyurethane product.

[0055] Furthermore, if Figures 5 to 9 As shown, a first positioning block 310 and a second positioning block 320 are provided at the position corresponding to the metal deformation part 200 in the blow molding cavity 101, and the first positioning block 310 and the second positioning block 320 are both provided on the side of the metal deformation part 200 away from the cavity wall part 103; at a first temperature, the first positioning block 310, the second positioning block 320 and the blow molding cavity 101 form a trapezoidal groove 301, and the metal deformation part 200 is at least partially located between the trapezoidal groove 301 and the cavity wall part 103; at a second temperature, the first positioning block 310 and the second positioning block 320 are squeezed and deformed or squeezed and displaced by the metal deformation part 200 of the second curvature, so as to leave a gap of a second spacing between them and the cavity wall part 103, and the second spacing is greater than the first spacing, and the second spacing is the sum of the first spacing and the thickness of the metal deformation part 200.

[0056] It should be noted that the metal deformation part 200 with the first curvature is semi-circular, and the metal deformation part 200 with the second curvature is expanded relative to the metal deformation part 200 with the first curvature. Then, during the expansion of the metal deformation part 200, pressure will be applied to the first positioning block 310 and the second positioning block 320, forcing the first positioning block 310 and the second positioning block 320 to be squeezed and deformed or squeezed and displaced to leave deformation space for the metal deformation part 200, and finally a gap of the second spacing will be left between the positioning block and the cavity wall part 103.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the first positioning block 310 and the second positioning block 320 can be squeezed and displaced. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a first movable groove 105 is provided on the cavity wall of the airflow cavity 102 at a position corresponding to the first positioning block 310, and a second movable groove 106 is provided at a position corresponding to the second positioning block 320. The first positioning block 310 is slidably connected to the first movable groove 105 along a direction away from or close to the cavity wall portion 103, and the second positioning block 320 is slidably connected to the second movable groove 106 along a direction away from or close to the cavity wall portion 103; a first spring 330 is provided in the first movable groove 105, one end of the first spring 330 abuts against the bottom wall of the first movable groove 105, and the other end of the first spring 330 abuts against the first positioning block 310; a second spring 340 is provided in the second movable groove 106, one end of the second spring 340 abuts against the bottom wall of the second movable groove 106, and the other end of the second spring 340 abuts against the second positioning block 320. Through the above arrangement, the positioning block can be squeezed by the extended metal deformation part 200 , thereby overcoming the elastic force of the spring and being partially received in the movable groove to leave a gap of the second spacing between the positioning block and the cavity wall part 103 .

[0058] As other optional implementations, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, one of the first positioning block 310 and the second positioning block 320 can be squeezed and deformed, and can also be squeezed by the extended metal deformation part 200 to leave a gap of the second spacing between the first positioning block 310 and the cavity wall part 103 .

[0059] On the basis of the preferred implementation mode, further, as Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the metal deformation part 200 includes a deformation middle part 201 arranged at the bottom wall of the groove corresponding to the trapezoidal groove 301, and the deformation middle part 201 is connected with a deformation transition part 202 corresponding to the groove side wall of the trapezoidal groove 301, and the end of the deformation transition part 202 is connected with a deformation end part 203; a magnetic attraction part 400 is arranged in the air flow cavity 102, and the magnetic attraction part 400 is used to magnetically attract the deformation end part 203 at the second temperature; at the first temperature, the deformation middle part 201, the deformation transition part 202 and the deformation end part 203 are all in contact with the cavity wall part 103, and the magnetic attraction part 400 is separated from the deformation end part 203; at the second temperature, the deformation middle part 201, the deformation transition part 202 and the deformation end part 203 are all spaced from the cavity wall part 103, and the gap gradually increases; the potential energy of the first spring 330 and the second spring 340 increases, and the magnetic attraction part 400 is magnetically connected to the deformation end part 203.

[0060] Exemplarily, at the second temperature, the metal deformation part 200 is close to a flat plate shape, and the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction part 400 overcomes the elastic force of the spring, so that the deformation end 203 of the metal deformation part 200 can be attracted, thereby leaving a gap of the second spacing between the metal deformation part 200 and the cavity wall part 103; at the first temperature, as the temperature rises, the curvature of the metal deformation part 200 continues to rise, and since the deformation middle part 201 is limited by the trapezoidal groove 301 and the cavity wall part 103, its deformation end 203 continues to rise. As the distance increases, the magnetic force decreases, causing the spring to release potential energy, so that the deformation middle part 201, the deformation transition part 202 and the deformation end 203 are all in contact with the cavity wall part 103.

[0061] On the basis of the preferred embodiment, as a supplementary embodiment, the metal deformation part 200 includes a deformation middle part 201 arranged corresponding to the bottom wall of the trapezoidal groove 301, the deformation middle part 201 is connected with a deformation transition part 202 corresponding to the groove side walls of the trapezoidal groove 301, and the end of the deformation transition part 202 is connected with a deformation end part 203; an air guide groove is opened on the surface of the deformation middle part 201 facing the cavity wall part 103.

[0062] Exemplarily, at a first temperature, the deformation middle portion 201, the deformation transition portion 202 and the deformation end portion 203 are all in contact with the cavity wall portion 103; the air guide groove is closed by the cavity wall portion 103; at a second temperature, the end of the deformation middle portion 201, the deformation transition portion 202 and the deformation end portion 203 have gaps with the cavity wall portion 103, and the gaps gradually increase; one end of the air guide groove is connected to the gap between one deformation transition portion 202 and the cavity wall portion 103, and the other end of the air guide groove is connected to the gap between another deformation transition portion 202 and the cavity wall portion 103.

[0063] Additionally, a filling column 204 may be protruding from the deformed end 203. At the first temperature, the filling column 204 can be inserted into the permeation channel 104, which can play a positioning role on the one hand, and maintain the contour of the blow molding cavity 101 on the other hand, thereby ensuring the quality of the thermoplastic polyurethane product.

[0068] Embodiment 2:

[0069] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides a blow molding device, including a mold base forming device 700, a blowing device 800, a translation device 900 and a thermoplastic polyurethane material blow molding cooling device as in the first embodiment, and the thermoplastic polyurethane material blow molding cooling device moves between the mold base forming device 700 and the blowing device 800 through the translation device 900. The mold base forming device 700, the blowing device 800, and the translation device 900 are all devices well known to those skilled in the art, and are not specifically expanded in this embodiment. For example, the mold base forming device 700 is a screw extrusion device, the blowing device 800 is a blowing device, and the translation device 900 is a cylinder.

[0070] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the principle of the blow molding equipment, the overall principle is explained;

[0071] The blank is formed in the blow mold 100 by the mold base forming device 700 (screw extruder), and the blow mold 100 is driven by the translation device 900 to move to the bottom of the blowing device 800, and the blank is blown by the blowing device 800 to obtain a preliminary thermoplastic polyurethane product. At this time, the permeation channel 104 is filled with the filling column 204. After the preliminary thermoplastic polyurethane product is obtained, the temperature of the blow molding cavity 101 is the first temperature. At this time, the first positioning block 310 and the second positioning block 320, under the action of the corresponding spring, push the metal deformation part 200 of the first curvature toward the cavity wall part 103;

[0072] In the process of the temperature dropping from the first temperature to the second temperature, since the third channel 1081 is connected with the fourth channel 1082, the second air flow is continuously provided by the second air source part, and takes away the heat of the mold through the second air inlet channel 108, the air flow cavity 102 and the exhaust channel 109, so as to accelerate the cooling efficiency and realize the rapid preliminary shaping of the thermoplastic polyurethane product.

[0073] When the temperature reaches the second temperature, the metal deformation part 200 is in the second curvature. At this time, the metal deformation part 200 is partially unfolded, and as the critical point of the magnetic attraction part 400, it is just magnetically attracted to the deformation end 203, and the magnetic force is greater than the elastic force of the spring, so that the two ends of the metal deformation part 200 overcome the elastic force under the action of the magnetic force and move away from the cavity wall part 103. On the one hand, when the metal deformation part 200 is away from the cavity wall part 103, the valve plate is driven to move by squeezing the positioning block and the connecting rod, so that the first air inlet channel 107 is connected and the second air inlet channel 108 is blocked, so as to maintain the matching of the airflow inlet amount and the airflow discharge amount. On the other hand, the first air source part can be connected with the airflow cavity 102, the penetration channel 104, the blow molding cavity 101, and the exhaust channel 109 in sequence, so that during the cooling process of the thermoplastic polyurethane material, the microbial capsule can be infiltrated into it in the form of heat penetration, thereby obtaining a thermoplastic polyurethane product of composite microbial capsules, and it can also take away the heat of the mold to accelerate the cooling efficiency.

[0074] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features thereof may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
