Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lunch box production, and in particular to a system for automatically adjusting a feeding speed in lunch box production and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Different types of plastics have very different thermal processing properties such as melting point, thermal stability, and fluidity. For example, polyethylene (PE) and polycarbonate (PC) have different melting points, with PE having a relatively low melting point and PC having a higher melting point. If the same feed rate is maintained, for plastics with low melting points, fast heating and fast reaction speed in gradient heating, insufficient feed will cause the subsequent reaction to be "out of food", affecting production efficiency and product quality; for plastics with high melting point, temperature gradient comprehensive function and slow reaction speed, material accumulation may occur, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. In the gradient heating process, the temperature continues to rise and the reaction speed is accelerated and strengthened. If the feed rate is fixed, it cannot match the rapid reaction of the plastic at different temperature stages. In the stage where the temperature rises faster, the fixed feed rate will lead to insufficient material supply, so that the reaction cannot be fully carried out, reducing production efficiency; and in the cooling stage, there will be too much feed, causing the material to stay in the equipment for too long, affecting product quality, and even causing equipment failure. Each plastic has its own suitable processing temperature range and reaction conditions. When the feed rate is fixed, for some plastics that can react quickly at lower temperatures, the equipment needs to continue heating to maintain the reaction due to insufficient feed, resulting in ineffective energy consumption; for some plastics that require higher temperatures and longer reactions, a fixed feed rate will cause the material to stay in the equipment for an unreasonable amount of time, and the heating time will be too long, which will also lead to energy waste. If the feed rate cannot match the reaction rate, it will cause excessive energy loss, and the equipment will run idle without enough material for processing. Idling equipment will not only damage the equipment itself, but also consume a lot of energy. This part of energy is not used in the effective production process, resulting in energy waste.

[0003] In the production process of plastic caps, gradient heating technology is sometimes used to process plastics. However, during the gradient processing process, because the temperature increases, the reaction speed is accelerated and strengthened, and the feed rate of the material needs to be accelerated to keep up with the subsequent rapid reaction to prevent energy waste. If each different plastic is kept at the same feed rate for gradient heating, the material feed rate will be consistent and energy will be wasted. Summary of the invention

[0025] Particle size and shape: Particles of different sizes and shapes will affect the flowability and bulk density of the material.

[0026] Viscosity: The viscosity of the material and its ingredients after mixing directly affects the flow properties of the material.

[0027] Density: The density of the material affects the weight of the material per unit volume, which in turn affects the feed rate.

[0028] Weight w o Source and determination method: Experimental data: The fluidity and feed rate of materials under different conditions, such as temperature and humidity, are measured experimentally, and then the weight of each factor is determined based on the experimental results. If it is found that temperature has a particularly large impact on the fluidity of a certain material, a higher weight can be given to the temperature.

[0029] Historical data and experience: Based on historical data from past production runs and operator experience, determine which factors have the greatest impact on feed rate. Certain materials tend to clump in high humidity environments, so humidity will be weighted higher.

[0030] Physical and Chemical Property Analysis: Analyze the physical and chemical properties of the material to assess the specific impact of each factor on the material's behavior.

[0040] Humidity w2=-0.1: Increased humidity slows down the feed rate, so the weight is negative.

[0041] Particle size and shape w3=0.15: affects material fluidity and stacking characteristics.

[0042] Viscosity w4=-0.1: Increased viscosity slows down the feed rate, so the weight is negative.

[0043] Density w5=0.05: affects the weight of material per unit volume.

Results The final calculated initial feed rate F0 is about 100.095 kg / min. F0 reflects the optimal feed rate of the material under the current initial conditions, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the production process.

[0055] Comprehensive coefficient K p :The comprehensive coefficient of the influence of other factors on the feeding speed in addition to the temperature gradient is determined after the material is heated and reacted. Consider factors other than temperature such as humidity, viscosity changes, density, chemical reaction rate, etc. to ensure that the system for automatically adjusting the feeding speed in lunch box production can fully cope with changes in various non-temperature factors.

[0062] Temperature gradient comprehensive function f(T g ): Assume that it is a linear function f(T g)=0.01×T g .

[0063] Comprehensive coefficient K p =0.5: Set based on historical data and experience.

[0064] Calculate the actual feed rate F at different time points: Time t1: T c =40℃: F=100+0.5·(40-30)·0.01·40=100+0.5·10·0.4=102 kg / min.

[0065] Time t2: T c =60℃: F=100+0.5·(60-30)·0.01·60=100+0.5·30·0.6=109kg / min.

[0066] Time t3: T c =80℃: F=100+0.5·(80-30)·0.01·80=100+0.5·50·0.8=120kg / min.

[0067] As the temperature in the reactor increases, the actual feed rate F also gradually increases. This ensures that the material is processed evenly under suitable temperature conditions, improves production efficiency and product quality, and can reduce energy loss and improve energy utilization. By dynamically adjusting the feed rate, the system that automatically adjusts the feed rate in lunch box production can adapt to temperature changes and other factors and maintain optimal operating conditions.

The larger the particle or the irregular the shape, the worse the fluidity and the slower the feed rate.

[0090] The influence of material viscosity on flow properties: Weight w3: 0.25, viscosity has a significant effect on flow properties. Function g3(V): g3(V)=-0.01×V, which indicates the proportion of feed rate reduction for every unit increase in viscosity. Negative values ​​indicate that increased viscosity will slow down feed. The greater the viscosity, the harder it is for the material to flow, and the lower the feed rate.

[0091] The influence of material density on the weight of material per unit volume: Weight w4: 0.15, density has a certain influence on the weight of material per unit volume. Function g4(D): g4(D)=0.005×D, the change ratio of feed speed for each unit increase in density. The greater the density, the greater the weight of material per unit volume, and the slower the feed speed.

[0092] Effect of chemical reaction rate on material properties and feed rate: Weight w5: 0.1, chemical reaction rate has a certain influence on material properties and feed rate. Function g5(R): g5(R)=0.003×R, the change ratio of feed rate for each unit increase in reaction rate. The faster reaction rate will change the material properties, which in turn affects the feed rate.

[0093] The specific values ​​are as follows: Effect of humidity on viscosity and bulk density: weight w1=0.3, function g1(H)=0.01×H, current humidity H=60%.

[0094] Effect of particle size and shape on fluidity and stacking properties: weight w2=0.2, function g2(G)=0.02×G, current particle size and shape factor G=0.8.

[0095] The influence of material viscosity on flow properties: weight w3=0.25, function g3(V)=-0.01×V, current viscosity factor V=0.7.

[0096] The influence of material density on the weight of material per unit volume: weight w4=0.15, function g4(D)=0.005×D, current density factor D=0.9.

[0097] The influence of chemical reaction rate on material properties and feed rate: weight w5=0.1, function g5(R)=0.003×R, current reaction rate R=50%.

[0098] Calculate the comprehensive coefficient K p : K p =w1·g1(H)+w2·g2(G)+w3·g3(V)+w4·g4(D)+w5·g5(R); The specific calculation is as follows: Effect of humidity on viscosity and bulk density: w1·g1(H)=0.18; Effect of particle size and shape on flowability and packing properties: w2·g2(G)=0.0032; The influence of material viscosity on flow properties: w3·g3(V)=-0.00175; The influence of material density on the weight of material per unit volume: w4·g4(D)=0.000675; Effect of chemical reaction rate on material properties and feed rate: w5·g5(R)=0.015; Sum all items: K p=0.18+0.0032-0.00175+0.000675+0.015≈0.197125; The final calculated comprehensive coefficient K p It is about 0.197125. This value reflects the comprehensive influence of other factors on the feeding speed besides the temperature gradient. The system that automatically adjusts the feeding speed in the production of lunch boxes can dynamically adjust the feeding speed according to a variety of non-temperature factors to ensure the stability and efficiency of the production process.

[0099] As an embodiment, the reaction furnace includes an upper heating furnace and a lower heating furnace, and the two heating furnaces are temperature-controlled separately, wherein T c : ; w upper : The weight of the upper heating furnace related to temperature, indicating the upper heating furnace's effect on the current temperature T c The impact of w lowerr : The weight of the lower heating furnace related to temperature, indicating the effect of the lower heating furnace on the current temperature T c The impact of T upper : The actual heating temperature of the upper heating furnace; T lowerr : The actual heating temperature of the lower heating furnace; Among them, w upper and w lowerr : ; k upper : Thermal conductivity of the upper heating furnace; k lower : Thermal conductivity of the lower heating furnace; V upper : The volume of the heating area of ​​the upper heating furnace; V lower : The volume of the heating area of ​​the lower heating furnace; Among them, w upper +w lower =1.

[0100] w upper +w lower =1 is to ensure that the upper heating furnace and the lower heating furnace have a comprehensive temperature T c The sum of their contributions is 100%, that is, their weights are relative proportions, which jointly determine the current temperature of the entire reactor. This ensures that the calculated comprehensive temperature T c It is a weighted average of the temperatures of the two heating zones, not a simple addition or any combination.

[0101] The benefits of using two heating furnaces in segmented heating: Each heating furnace can independently control the temperature to ensure that the materials in different areas are processed under the most suitable temperature conditions. For example, some plastic materials require different temperatures at different stages, and segmented heating can better meet these needs. By setting the different temperatures of the upper and lower heating furnaces, an ideal temperature gradient can be formed, so that the material gradually transitions from the low temperature zone to the high temperature zone, avoiding the impact of sudden temperature changes on the material properties. Segmented heating can heat the material to the required temperature in a short time, reducing the overall heating time, thereby improving production efficiency. For plastics with low melting points, fast heating and fast reaction speeds, the upper heating furnace can provide rapid preheating; while for plastics with high melting points and slow reaction speeds, the lower heating furnace can provide continuous and stable heating to ensure that the reaction is fully carried out. Segmented heating can ensure that the material is heated evenly throughout the reaction process, avoiding local overheating or insufficient heating, thereby improving the quality and consistency of the product. By accurately controlling the temperature of each section, product defects such as bubbles and cracks caused by uneven temperature can be effectively prevented.

[0102] However, because the temperature of each section of the segmented heating is different, including the different conduction coefficients of each section of the furnace and the volume of the heating area, this system sets a comprehensive calculation formula to calculate the comprehensive temperature of the two current reactors, and calculates the actual speed F of the material entering the reactor based on the comprehensive temperature.

[0103] Example 5: There are the following specific values:

[0104] Upper heating furnace: actual heating temperature Tupper = 200 °C, thermal conductivity kupper = 0.5 W / m·K, heating area volume Vupper = 0.8 m 3 .

[0105] Lower heating furnace: actual heating temperature T lower =150℃, thermal conductivity k lower =0.3 W / m·K, heating area volume V lower =1.2 m 3 .

[0106] Calculate weights: w upper =0.5 0.80.5 0.8+0.3 1.2=0.40.4+0.36=0.40.76≈0.526; w lower =0.3·1.20.5·0.8+0.3·1.2=0.360.4+0.36=0.360.76≈0.474.

[0107] Calculate the integrated temperature T c : T c=0.526·200+0.474·150=176.3℃.

[0108] The final calculated comprehensive temperature T c It is 176.3°C. This value reflects the actual temperatures of the upper heating furnace and the lower heating furnace and their respective effects on the comprehensive temperature.
