Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sheet molding compound production, in particular to a glue tank liquid level measurement control device for continuous production of sheet molding compound. Background Art
[0002] Sheet molding compound (SMC) is a type of sheet molding material made of resin paste impregnated fiber or chopped fiber mat covered with polyethylene film on both sides. It has the properties of electrical insulation, heat resistance, flame retardancy, good mechanical strength, light weight, easy and flexible engineering design, etc. Its mechanical properties are comparable to those of some metal materials.
[0003] As the automation of molding becomes higher and higher, the consistency of SMC unit weight is also required to be higher and higher. SMC unit weight refers to the weight of SMC per unit area. An important factor affecting unit weight is the instability of the amount of resin paste scraped off. There are many reasons for instability, such as: viscosity of resin paste, temperature, and the level of resin paste in the glue tank.
[0004] The invention patent with announcement number CN110726371A discloses a SMC sheet thickness detection device. There is a hysteresis in measuring the thickness to adjust the unit weight of the SMC sheet. The thickness can only be detected after the sheet is soaked. The unit weight of this section cannot be controlled. In addition, the thickness of the glass fiber stacking in the SMC sheet is different, and the bubbles generated by the glass fiber stacking affect the detection value. The invention patent with announcement number CN109454896B discloses a method for controlling the mass flow rate in the continuous production of fluid materials. The scraper gap is adjusted by detecting the liquid level of the glue tank. When the flow rate entering the glue tank decreases, the amount entering the glue tank is less than the amount scraped out, and the liquid level of the glue tank decreases. At this time, the scraper will increase the gap between the scraper and the film, which will affect the unit weight and even cause SMC material shortages, production line shutdown, and unnecessary waste.
[0005] In this regard, we have found that when the liquid level in the glue tank is controlled within a certain range, the unit weight stability of the SMC sheet is improved by 50% compared with the existing unit weight stability. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a glue tank liquid level measurement and control device for continuous production of plastic molding materials. Through the automatic adjustment system, the amount of scraped resin paste can be accurately controlled in real time during the continuous production of SMC, thereby accurately controlling the unit weight of the SMC sheet without hysteresis and preventing material breakage.

The time recording submodule is used to judge the width time of the arc formed by the resin glue, and the logic judgment submodule is used to analyze the speed at which the resin glue flows out of the glue guide pipe 2.
[0041] The logic judgment submodule includes a position identification unit;
[0042] The processing module includes a lifting submodule, a warning submodule and an adjustment submodule. The lifting submodule is electrically connected to the second cylinder 12 and is used to control the limit plate 13 to move up and down at the outlet of the glue guide pipe 2. The warning submodule serves as an alarm. The adjustment submodule is electrically connected to the liquid delivery pump 1 20 and the liquid delivery pump 2 23. The adjustment submodule is used to adjust the state of the resin glue entering the glue guide pipe 2.
[0043] The flow control system includes the following specific operating steps:
[0044] Step 1: Before starting production, according to the product material requirements, move the marking block 9 to the appropriate position through the marking component to facilitate identification of whether the resin glue is in the marked position;
[0045] Specifically, the first air cylinder 8 is activated to extend and retract to drive the marking block 9 to slide on the fixed plate 7, thereby determining the positions of the two groups of marking blocks 9 and further determining the distance between the two groups of marking blocks 9.
[0046] Step 2: Start the liquid delivery pump 20 to transfer the resin glue liquid at the resin glue liquid source 21 to the glue guide pipe 2 and then flow it into the glue tank 6, and then start the external winding component to drive the film to move at high speed in the gap 25;
[0047] Step 3: Identify the width of the arc formed by the resin glue in the glue tank 6 through the visual unit 4, determine the flow rate of the resin glue entering the glue tank 6, and then control the amount entering the glue tank 6 through the current limiting component to control the stable range of the resin glue in the glue tank 6, accurately control the unit weight of the SMC sheet, without hysteresis, and prevent material breakage;
[0048] Step 4: When the amount of the resin glue in the glue tank 6 is controlled to be within a stable range, it is necessary to determine in real time the time for the amount of the resin glue to be stable to determine whether the resin glue is precipitated and solidified during the process of flowing out of the glue guide pipe 2 .
[0049] Step 3 includes the following specific steps:
[0050] Step 3-a: Since the distance between the two groups of marking blocks 9 is set, the distance between the arc boundary line formed by the resin glue and the two groups of marking blocks 9 is analyzed to determine the amount of resin glue in the glue tank 6;
[0051] Specifically, in the logic judgment submodule, the distance from the front group of marking blocks 9 to the edge of the fixed plate 7 is set to , set the distance from the rear set of marking blocks 9 to the edge of the fixed plate 7 to (like Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the boundary line of the arc formed by the resin glue is located at and The specific position of the resin glue arc is detected and the signal is transmitted to the image receiving submodule. The position recognition unit in the logic judgment submodule analyzes the boundary line of the resin glue arc in real time. and The distance is calculated as: , , where L is the constant distance between the two groups of marker blocks 9, is the distance between the boundary line of the resin glue arc and the edge of the fixing plate 7, is the ratio of the distance between the boundary line of the resin glue arc and the edge of the fixed plate 7 to the constant distance between the two groups of marking blocks 9. When it is, it indicates that the arc-shaped boundary line of the resin adhesive liquid is close to the front marker block 9, indicating that there is a large amount of resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6. When When it is, it indicates that the arc-shaped boundary line of the resin adhesive liquid is close to the rear marker block 9, indicating that there is a small amount of resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6. When When it is, it indicates that the resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6 is just right.
[0052] Step three-b: Control the movement of the flow-limiting component according to the amount of resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6, and control the size of the outlet of the glue guiding pipeline 2, so as to control the amount of resin adhesive liquid flowing out, and ensure that the amount of resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6 remains in a normal state;
[0053] Specifically, when there is a large amount of resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6, a signal is transmitted to the lifting sub-module to control the lowering of the limit plate 13, so that the outlet of the glue guiding pipeline 2 becomes the smallest, reducing the amount of resin adhesive liquid flowing out. When there is a small amount of resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6, control the limit plate 13 to be raised to control the outlet of the glue guiding pipeline 2 to become medium, increasing the amount of resin adhesive liquid flowing out. Through this step, the amount of resin adhesive liquid entering the glue tank 6 can be adjusted in real time, always ensuring that the resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6 remains in a normal state, thereby accurately controlling the single weight of the SMC sheet, overcoming the problem of hysteresis in the prior art, and preventing material breakage.
[0054] It should be added that the levels for setting the adjustment of the size of the outlet of the glue guiding pipeline 2 are high, medium, and low. High means the outlet of the glue guiding pipeline 2 is the largest, medium means the size of the outlet of the glue guiding pipeline 2 is medium, and low means the size of the outlet of the glue guiding pipeline 2 is the smallest.
[0055] Step four also includes the following specific steps:
[0056] Step four-a: When the resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6 remains in a normal state, start the time recording sub-module to start timing, and pause timing until the amount of resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6 is abnormal, and judge the flowing speed of the resin adhesive liquid;
[0057] Specifically, the staff sets the conventional time from normal to abnormal of the resin adhesive liquid as T in the time recording sub-module. When the resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6 remains in a normal state, start timing in the time recording sub-module, and set the time as until the timing ends when the amount of resin adhesive liquid in the glue tank 6 is abnormal, and set the time as The calculation formula for the flowing speed of the resin adhesive liquid is: where t is the real-time detected time from normal to abnormal of the resin adhesive liquid. When t>T, it indicates that the flowing speed of the resin adhesive liquid is normal. When t<T, it indicates that the flowing speed of the resin adhesive liquid is slow, indicating that the resin adhesive liquid precipitates and solidifies during the process of flowing out of the glue guiding pipeline 2;
[0058] Step 4-b: adjusting the state of the resin glue entering the glue guide pipe 2 in real time according to the speed of the resin glue flowing down, so as to improve the quality of the resin glue flowing down;
[0059] Specifically, when the resin glue liquid precipitates and solidifies during the process of flowing out of the glue guiding pipe 2, it indicates that the resin glue liquid in the resin glue liquid source 1 21 is in a poor state. At this time, a signal is transmitted to the adjustment submodule to control the liquid delivery pump 1 20 to turn off and then turn on the liquid delivery pump 2 23, so as to suspend the resin glue liquid in the resin glue liquid source 1 21 from entering the glue guiding pipe 2, thereby allowing the resin glue liquid in the resin glue liquid source 2 22 to enter the glue guiding pipe 2, thereby improving the quality of the resin glue liquid;
[0060] Step 4-c: While improving the quality of the resin glue flowing down, it is also necessary to determine the amount of resin glue in the glue tank 6, and then adjust the size of the outlet of the glue guide pipe 2 in combination with the quality of the resin glue entering the glue guide pipe 2, so as to further ensure the amount of resin glue flowing into the glue tank 6 without being affected by the quality of the resin glue in the glue guide pipe 2;
[0061] Specifically, when the amount of resin glue in the glue groove 6 is small, and the resin glue precipitates and solidifies in the process of flowing out of the glue guiding pipe 2, in order to avoid the resin glue flowing down the glue guiding pipe 2 too slowly when switching to the resin glue source 22, the current limiting component is controlled to drive the limit plate 13 to lift, and the outlet of the glue guiding pipe 2 is opened and closed to the maximum position, so as to facilitate a large amount of resin glue to fall into the glue groove 6. When the amount of resin glue in the glue groove 6 is large, and the resin glue precipitates and solidifies in the process of flowing out of the glue guiding pipe 2, the limit plate 13 is still controlled to be in the intermediate state, and the outlet of the glue guiding pipe 2 is not controlled to become smaller, so as to avoid the resin glue on the glue guiding pipe 2 from solidifying and affecting the stability of the resin glue flowing into the glue groove 6 normally.
[0062] Through the above steps, when the resin glue source 22 is switched, the size of the outlet of the glue guiding pipe 2 can be adjusted in real time according to the amount of resin glue in the glue tank 6, so that the stability in the glue tank 6 can be better controlled.
