Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of foaming moulds, in particular to a multi-chamber foaming mould based on supercritical fluid gradient regulation. Background Art

[0043] See also Figure 1 to Figure 10 , a multi-chamber foaming molding mold based on supercritical fluid gradient regulation of the present invention, compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment also includes: the heat exchange component 4 includes a heat exchange tube 41 fixedly arranged inside the metal wire mesh 22; a diverter box 42 for diversion is fixedly installed on the side of the heat exchange tube 41; a sensor 43 with data collection function is fixedly installed on the top of the diverter box 42 by bolts; a first diverter component 44 is fixedly installed on the side of the diverter box 42; a second diverter component 45 is fixedly installed on the side of the injection port component 3.

[0045] The working principle of the multi-chamber foaming molding mold based on supercritical fluid gradient control is:
[0046] First, when using this device, first place the device in the working area, and then connect the device to an external power source to provide the device with the power required for operation;
[0047] Second, before foaming, the staff first checks the installation and use of the heat-conducting metal 25, the heat-resistant rubber strip 26 and the joint plate 24 on the side of the heat-conducting metal 25, and then assembles the combined mold plate 27 and the joint plate 24 for molding and installs them in the groove on the side of the fixed mold 21, and then fixes the first nozzle piece 28 and the second nozzle piece 31 on the middle flow channel and the side flow channel of the fixed mold 21 respectively through external bolts, and here the control component 6 controls the liquid pump component 5 to perform preheating action;
[0048] Third, after completing the assembly process of the mold body 2, the control component 6 controls the adjustment workbench 1 to drive the two groups of mold bodies 2 to perform a trial mold closing action. Here, the upper and lower semi-ring bodies 281 of the first nozzle member 28 and the second nozzle member 31 are combined to form a reflux channel, and then the staff inserts the limiting material pipe 32 in the injection port assembly 3 into the high heat-resistant rubber 285 in the second nozzle member 31, and then guides the heat-conducting oil into the flow channel 286 inside the semi-ring body 281 through the liquid guide member 282 of the second nozzle member 31. Here, the heat-conducting oil heats the phase change material inside the flow channel 286 through the circulating flow channel formed by the two groups of semi-ring bodies 281 and the liquid guide member 282 and then guides it out;
[0049] Fourth, the temperature inside the flow channel groove 286 increases, causing the memory alloy 287 to deform and push up the high heat-resistant rubber 285. Here, due to the convex structure on the surface of the high heat-resistant rubber 285 in the second nozzle piece 31, the high heat-resistant rubber 285 clamps the limiting material pipe 32, and uses the coil ring 36 to be energized to make it magnetically cooperate with the limiting material pipe 32 to complete the installation of the injection port assembly 3 as a whole; then the staff connects the external gas pipeline with the limiting material pipe 32, and presses gas to increase the internal pressure of the mold body 2 for air tightness detection, and at the same time, the heat-conducting oil is introduced into the diverter box 42 through the connecting pipe and the first diverter valve 443 through the liquid pump assembly 5, and the heat-absorbing material 23 inside the mold body 2 is heated through the heat exchange pipe 41; here, by pressing the external gas pipeline into the limiting material pipe 32, the staff can directly install the injection port assembly 3 as shown in FIG. Part of the gas enters the pneumatic cylinder 444 through the second diverter valve 445 to adjust the diameter of the flow channel inside the relay box 442, thereby changing the flow efficiency of the heat-conducting oil; at this time, the heat-absorbing material 23 inside the mold body 2 is transformed from solid to liquid after being heated, and the fluidity of the heat-absorbing material 23 is low due to the separation and mesh structure of the metal wire mesh 22, thereby forming a plurality of relatively independent heat-absorbing material 23 areas in the space surrounded by the heat-conducting metal 25 and the fixed mold 21. Here, since the temperature of the heat-conducting oil on the side of the introduction is absorbed by the heat-absorbing material 23, the heat-conducting oil between the introduction area and the outlet area will form a gradient threshold with a gradually decreasing temperature, and form a corresponding temperature gradient under the partition of the heat-resistant rubber strip 26 and the thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting metal 25;
[0050] Fifth, after the trial mold closing process is completed, the staff will check whether the heat-absorbing material 23 appears on the surface of the heat-conducting metal 25 when the pressure drops suddenly after the mold is removed by adjusting the workbench 1, so as to judge the sealing condition of the heat-resistant rubber strip 26; then, the two groups of mold bodies 2 are driven to close the mold again by adjusting the workbench 1, and the foaming fluid is introduced into the multi-chamber structure formed by the closing of the multiple groups of combined templates 27 through the external pipeline. Here, the heat-conducting oil is repeatedly introduced into the semi-ring body 281 by the liquid guide 282, and the temperature of the introduced heat-conducting oil can be controlled to adjust whether the memory alloy 287 in the semi-ring body 281 is deformed. Adjusting the lifting degree of the high heat-resistant rubber 285 and heating the installed semi-ring body 281 at the same time can avoid the injection effect of the foaming fluid caused by the temperature difference of the injection port. The deformation state of the high heat-resistant rubber 285 here can also change the diameter of the flow channel between the multiple groups of combined templates 27, so that after the internal pressure of the combined template 27 close to the injection port component 3 is gradually increased, the foaming fluid enters the combined template 27 on the other side through the small-diameter flow channel inside the adjusted semi-ring body 281, so that different injection pressures are formed inside the front and rear groups of combined templates 27, and then a certain pressure gradient is formed inside the multi-chamber combined template 27;
[0051] Sixth, during the injection process, the liquid pump assembly 5 is synchronously controlled to introduce the heat transfer oil into the diverter box 42 through the connecting pipe and the first diverter valve 443, and the heat absorbing material 23 inside the mold body 2 is heated through the heat exchange pipe 41 to cooperate with the foaming process; during the injection process, the internal space of the mold body 2 in the mold closing state is squeezed by the material introduced by the limit material pipe 32, and the pressure gradually increases. Here, the airflow in the internal space of the mold body 2 is guided out or blocked by controlling the reversing action of the reversing valve 376. In the blocked state, the reversing valve 376 can keep the pressure at a certain value when the material enters the cavity of the combined template 27. In the guided state, the reversing valve 376 can quickly relieve the pressure of the internal cavity of the combined template 27, and at the same time, the heat exchanger 375 inside the sealed air box 373 provides heat recovery for the regulated guided airflow; the light sensor 372 and the air pressure sensor 374 provide foreign matter and air pressure detection actions for the inside of the detachable connecting pipe 371.
[0052] The present invention provides a multi-chamber foaming molding mold based on supercritical fluid gradient regulation through improvement. By arranging the mold body 2 and the injection port assembly 3 on the adjustment workbench 1, the heat-conducting oil heats the phase change material and then discharges it through the circulation channel formed by the first nozzle piece. At the same time, the semi-ring body 281 installed under the heating device can avoid the injection effect of the foaming fluid caused by the temperature difference of the injection port, and also change the diameter of the flow channel between the multiple groups of combined templates 27 to form a certain pressure gradient inside the multi-chamber combined template 27. By arranging the separation and wire mesh structure of the metal wire mesh 22, the heat-conducting metal 25 forms a corresponding temperature gradient under the thermal conductivity of the heat-absorbing material 23; by arranging the heat exchange component 4 to cooperate with the mold body 2 and the injection port assembly 3 to form a circulation channel between the heat exchange fluid, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
