Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of negative pressure foaming production of extruded boards, in particular to a negative pressure cylinder joint mechanism and a negative pressure foaming production line for extruded boards. Background Art
[0002] At present, the production of polystyrene insulation boards is often carried out under normal pressure. The equipment on the production line is from front to back: extruder, mold, leveling device, drawing machine, conveyor rack, etc., all installed in the workshop under normal pressure for production. The extruder and the mold are connected by bolts through a blue plate. When the polystyrene material and the foaming agent come out of the mold, the polystyrene material has initially taken a flat shape due to foaming and expansion, and enters the leveling device to make it further flat, and then enters the drawing machine and conveyor rack in sequence. This device for producing polystyrene insulation boards, because the polystyrene insulation board is produced under normal pressure, its foaming is not sufficient, the specific gravity of the insulation board material is high, and a large amount of raw materials are wasted.
[0003] The foaming of the extruded board under negative pressure or vacuum conditions can make it foam more fully, and increase the thickness of the extruded board under the same feeding amount. This foaming method has become a new research and development direction for those skilled in the art. For example, the invention patent with publication number CN114161743A discloses a vacuum foaming production line for XPS extruded boards, which relates to the field of vacuum foaming. The production line utilizes the principle of vacuum foaming and improves the foaming rate of XPS raw materials through the design of negative pressure production, while effectively reducing production costs. Since the foaming mold at the rear end of the extruder needs to be frequently replaced, maintained, and maintained, a sufficient operating space is required to facilitate the disassembly of the foaming mold. In order to obtain the operating space, the patent technical solution records that the discharge port of the closed multi-roller tractor is connected to the closed conveyor frame through a floating joint. The floating joint includes a first square tube, the right end of the first square tube is slidably inserted into the second square tube, and a soft cloth sealing sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the first square tube. The left end of the soft cloth sealing sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first square tube through a throat clamp, and the right end of the soft cloth sealing sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the left port of the second square tube through a throat clamp. The closed shaping table and the closed multi-roller tractor behind the mold are designed to be movable structures. When working, the front end of the first square tube of the floating joint is connected to the closed multi-roller tractor, and the rear end is inserted into the second square tube, and then the rear end of the second square tube is connected to the closed conveyor frame behind. When overhauling, the first square tube moves backward with the closed multi-roller tractor, while the second square tube does not move, and the first square tube can slide in the second square tube. However, in the patented technical solution, no conveying rollers are provided in the first square tube and the second square tube, and the rolling conveying of the extruded board cannot be realized. The surface of the extruded board that has just been foamed is relatively soft. If it directly scrapes the inner wall of the square tube, it will cause irregular scratches on the surface.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a negative pressure cylinder joint mechanism comprises a telescopic cylinder 1, a ground guide rail 2, a linear drive unit, a movable conveying frame 4, a fixed cylinder 5 and a fixed conveying frame 6. The middle and rear part of the telescopic cylinder 1 is coaxially slidably inserted into the front end of the fixed cylinder 5, and a sealing component is arranged between the outer wall of the rear end of the telescopic cylinder 1 and the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 5 to seal the gap between the two. The front end of the telescopic cylinder 1 is provided with a docking flange plate 108 for sealingly connecting the front equipment, and a full circle of sealing gaskets are arranged on the docking flange plate 108. A bottom bracket 101 is arranged at the bottom of the front end of the telescopic cylinder 1, and the bottom bracket 101 is guided and slidably connected to the ground guide rail 2, and the guiding direction of the ground guide rail 2 is arranged parallel to the axis of the telescopic cylinder 1. The linear drive unit drives the telescopic cylinder 1 to telescope in the fixed cylinder 5. An inner slide rail frame 104 is horizontally arranged in the telescopic cylinder 1, and the movable conveying frame 4 is detachably slidably connected to the front section of the inner slide rail frame 104, and the rear end of the fixed conveying frame 6 is fixedly connected in the fixed cylinder 5, and the front end of the fixed conveying frame 6 is slidably overlapped on the rear section of the movable conveying frame 4. The fixed conveyor frame 6 is supported at the rear of the movable conveyor frame 4 . The tops of the fixed conveyor frame 6 and the movable conveyor frame 4 are both provided with a plurality of conveyor rollers 401 arranged in parallel and at intervals. The extruded plates to be conveyed roll through the conveyor rollers 401 .
[0035] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional shapes of the telescopic cylinder 1 and the fixed cylinder 5 can be circular cylinders, square cylinders, elliptical cylinders, etc., without limitation, and all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0036] By arranging the inner slide rail frame 104 in the telescopic cylinder 1, the inner slide rail frame 104 supports the movable conveying frame 4, so that when the telescopic cylinder 1 is retracted into the fixed cylinder 5, the movable conveying frame 4 can be lifted out, thereby realizing the movable working distance between the telescopic cylinder 1 and the front equipment. The extruded board is rolled and supported by the conveying rollers 401 of the fixed conveying frame 6 and the movable conveying frame 4, thereby protecting the surface of the extruded board and improving the conveying quality of the extruded board.
[0037] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the floor guide rail 2 is specifically a linear guide rail, which is laid on the floor of the workshop. Two floor guide rails 2 are arranged in parallel on both sides below the telescopic cylinder 1, and two sliders 102 cooperating with the linear guide rails are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom bracket 101. A connecting seat 103 for connecting the linear drive unit is arranged in the middle of the bottom of the bottom bracket 101.
[0038] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the linear drive unit specifically adopts an acting cylinder 3, the middle part of which is installed on the ground below the telescopic cylinder 1 using a pin shaft seat, the swing plate of the connecting seat 103 is installed at the bottom of the bottom bracket 101 through the shaft heads at both ends, and the piston rod end of the acting cylinder 3 is installed on the swing plate.
[0039] The linear guide rail is provided to guide the telescopic movement of the telescopic cylinder 1, thereby ensuring the guiding accuracy; the action cylinder 3 installed on the pin shaft seat and the swinging plate are provided to ensure that the telescopic cylinder 1 will not get stuck with the fixed cylinder 5 during the telescopic process of the action cylinder 3.
[0040] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the movable conveyor frame 4 is a steel welded frame structure and two parallel guide surfaces are arranged on both sides of the top, and the outer sides of the guide surfaces are provided with retaining edges. Bottom wheels 402 rolling on the guide surfaces are arranged on both sides of the bottom surface of the movable conveyor frame 4, and the front end of the movable conveyor frame 4 protrudes out of the docking flange plate 108 and can be overlapped into the sealing cover of the front equipment. The front part of the fixed conveyor frame 6 is also provided with bottom wheels 402 that can roll on the guide surface.
[0041] By providing the guide rail surface and the bottom wheel 402 , the resistance exerted by the fixed conveying frame 6 and the movable conveying frame 4 on the telescopic cylinder 1 can be reduced during the telescopic movement of the telescopic cylinder 1 , thereby ensuring smooth opening and closing.
[0042] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sealing assembly includes a plurality of O-rings arranged at equal intervals, and a plurality of sealing ring grooves 105 are formed on the outer wall of the rear end of the telescopic cylinder 1 , and the O-rings are installed in the sealing ring grooves 105 .
[0043] Specifically, since the diameter of the sealing part is too large, the corresponding large-sized O-ring cannot be purchased, and a round rubber strip is used to fill the sealing ring groove 105 as a substitute. The interfaces in two adjacent sealing ring grooves 105 are bonded with elastic glue, and the interfaces are staggered to avoid being at the same angle.
[0044] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the negative pressure cylinder joint mechanism of the present invention also includes a guide ring. A guide ring groove is provided between two adjacent sealing ring grooves 105. The guide ring is installed in the guide ring groove and serves as a centering spacer for the telescopic cylinder 1 and the fixed cylinder 5.
[0045] Specifically, the guide belt ring is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material with good wear resistance and good self-lubricating performance.
[0046] By providing multiple parallel and spaced O-rings for sealing, multiple seals are formed to reduce the occurrence of leakage; by adding the guide belt ring between the telescopic cylinder 1 and the fixed cylinder 5 to assist in supporting the rear end of the telescopic cylinder 1, the excessive extrusion of the O-ring under the deadweight of the telescopic cylinder 1 is improved, and the wear of the O-ring is reduced.
[0047] In summary, the negative pressure cylinder joint mechanism of the present invention, by arranging an inner slide rail frame 104 in the telescopic cylinder 1, the inner slide rail frame 104 supports the movable conveying frame 4, and can lift out the movable conveying frame 4 when the telescopic cylinder 1 is retracted into the fixed cylinder 5, thereby realizing the movable operation distance between the telescopic cylinder 1 and the front equipment. The extruded board is rolled and supported by the conveying rollers 401 of the fixed conveying frame 6 and the movable conveying frame 4, so that the surface of the extruded board is protected and the conveying quality of the extruded board is improved. In addition, by arranging the linear guide rail to guide the telescopic action of the telescopic cylinder 1, the guiding accuracy is guaranteed; by arranging the action cylinder 1 3 installed by the pin shaft seat and the swinging plate that can swing, it is guaranteed that the telescopic cylinder 1 will not get stuck with the fixed cylinder 5 during the telescopic process of the action cylinder 1. By arranging the guide surface and the bottom wheel 402, the resistance applied by the fixed conveying frame 6 and the movable conveying frame 4 to the telescopic cylinder 1 can be reduced during the telescopic action of the telescopic cylinder 1, ensuring smooth opening and closing. By providing multiple parallel and spaced O-rings for sealing, multiple seals are formed to reduce the occurrence of leakage; by adding the guide belt ring between the telescopic cylinder 1 and the fixed cylinder 5 to assist in supporting the rear end of the telescopic cylinder 1, the excessive extrusion of the O-ring under the deadweight of the telescopic cylinder 1 is improved, and the wear of the O-ring is reduced.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] Maintenance and repair needs require that when the telescopic cylinder 1 is opened, the negative pressure in the inner cavity often needs to be emptied and eliminated before it can be opened. In the actual operation process, due to negligence, sometimes the negative pressure in the conveying pipeline is forgotten to be emptied and the working cylinder 3 is directly started to open the telescopic cylinder 1. The negative pressure is suddenly released from the port of the telescopic cylinder 1, which will cause a strong airflow and produce a roaring noise, which will not only cause airflow impact damage to the extruded board and equipment in the inner cavity, but also may be pulled down by people around, causing safety accidents. At the same time, the water column drawn by the fixed cylinder 5 is rapidly discharged into the pool 13, forming a water hammer effect, which will impact and damage the extruded board transported by the pool 13 on the one hand, and will also aggravate the airflow at the port of the telescopic cylinder 1 on the other hand.
[0050] In order to avoid the above situation, the present invention is improved on the basis of the above embodiment 1 to form this embodiment. In this embodiment 2, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the negative pressure cylinder joint mechanism of the present invention further includes a vacuum lock assembly 9, which is arranged on the outer wall of the front end of the fixed cylinder 5, and the axis of the vacuum lock assembly 9 is in a horizontal position and perpendicular to the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 5. The telescopic cylinder 1 is provided with a locking hole 107 on the side wall behind the sealing assembly, and the working end of the vacuum lock assembly 9 can be inserted into the locking hole 107 for locking under the negative pressure state in the cavity.
[0051] By adding a vacuum lock assembly 9 to the outer wall of the front end of the fixed tube 5, the working end of the vacuum lock assembly 9 can be inserted into the locking hole 107 for locking, preventing the telescopic tube 1 from being forcibly opened under the negative pressure state in the cavity, thereby avoiding damage caused by the generation of strong pulling airflow.
[0052] Specifically, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the vacuum lock assembly 9 includes an outer sleeve, an inner guide cylinder 901, a support plate group, a lock pin 904, a compression spring 905, an elastic rubber plate 907 and a pressure ring 909. The fixed cylinder 5 is coaxially provided with a mounting hole at a position corresponding to the locking hole 107, and the diameter of the mounting hole is much larger. The inner end of the outer sleeve is welded on the mounting hole, and the sealing welding prevents air leakage. The inner guide cylinder 901 is coaxially installed in the outer sleeve through the support plate group, and a vent hole is provided on the support plate group. The lock pin 904 is slidably connected in the inner guide cylinder 901, and the inner end of the lock pin 904 can be inserted into the locking hole 107 inwardly, and the inner end of the lock pin 904 is set as a round head. The compression spring 905 is sleeved on the lock pin 904 and the two ends are abutted between the outer end of the lock pin 904 and the outer end surface of the inner guide cylinder 901. The elastic rubber plate 907 is sealed and crimped onto the folded edge 906 at the outer end of the outer sleeve through the pressure ring 909, and the inner side wall of the elastic rubber plate 907 elastically squeezes the outer end of the locking pin 904. When both the inner and outer sides of the elastic rubber plate 907 are in a normal pressure state, Figure 5 As shown, the compression spring 905 is reset, pushing the lock pin 904 outward, the outer end of the lock pin 904 protrudes outward to push the center of the elastic rubber plate 907, and the inner end of the lock pin 904 exits the locking hole 107. When the negative pressure chamber connected to the inner side of the elastic rubber plate 907 is in a negative pressure state, that is, a normal working state, the elastic rubber plate 907 is compressed inward, pushing the outer end of the lock pin 904, the compression spring 905 is compressed, and the inner end of the lock pin 904 is inserted into the locking hole 107 to form a lock.
[0053] By cleverly setting the elastic rubber plate 907 as both a negative pressure detection and actuating element, it is not only easy to observe, but also ensures that the locking hole 107 is always pinned under negative pressure. Compared with the electrical locking method using a sensor, it is more direct, stable and reliable.
[0054] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, a gasket 908 is bonded to the middle position of the inner wall of the elastic rubber plate 907 . The gasket 908 is a polytetrafluoroethylene round gasket and has a diameter slightly larger than the outer end of the locking pin 904 .
[0055] By adding the gasket 908 made of plastic material, the elastic rubber plate 907 is prevented from contacting the metal edge of the outer end of the locking pin 904 for a long time, thereby reducing impact wear and improving the service life of the elastic rubber plate 907.
[0056] Specifically, if Figure 5As shown, the support plate group includes support plate 1 902 and support plate 2 903. A plurality of ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the circumference of support plate 1 902 and support plate 2 903, and the diameter of the ventilation holes is not greater than 2 mm. Support plate 1 902 is a circular ring plate and is welded and supported between the inner wall of the outer sleeve and the inner end outer wall of the inner guide cylinder 901. Support plate 2 903 is a conical ring plate and is welded between the inner wall of the outer sleeve and the outer end outer wall of the inner guide cylinder 901. The large opening of support plate 2 903 faces the elastic rubber plate 907.
[0057] By setting the conical support plate 903, under normal working conditions, the elastic rubber plate 907 is compressed inwardly and attached to the outer conical surface of the support plate 903 to form an inner limit to prevent the elastic rubber plate 907 from being damaged due to excessive deformation.
[0058] The working principle of the negative pressure cylinder joint mechanism in this embodiment is as follows: when the production line is operating normally, the telescopic cylinder 1 is in a closed state, and the working end of the vacuum lock assembly 9 is aligned with the locking hole 107. It should be emphasized that the locking hole 107 is located on the inner side of the sealing assembly, i.e., the negative pressure side. Under the normal working state of the negative pressure foaming, due to the connection of the vent hole, the air pressure in the chamber between the support plate 2 903 and the elastic rubber plate 907 is consistent with that in the conveying pipeline. Under the action of the outer atmospheric pressure, the elastic rubber plate 907 is compressed inward, the gasket 908 pushes the outer end of the locking pin 904, the compression spring 905 is compressed, and the inner end of the locking pin 904 is inserted into the locking hole 107 to form a lock. If the negative pressure locking pin 904 in the conveying pipeline is not emptied, it will always be in a state of pinning the locking hole 107, thereby preventing misoperation. When the mold needs to be replaced or repaired, the operator first needs to operate the drain valve to slowly release the negative pressure. When both the inner and outer sides of the elastic rubber plate 907 are at normal pressure, the compression spring 905 is reset, pushing the lock pin 904 outward, and the outer end of the lock pin 904 protrudes outward to push the center of the elastic rubber plate 907. The inner end of the lock pin 904 exits the locking hole 107 and releases the lock. At this time, the action cylinder 1 3 can be operated to open the telescopic cylinder 1.
[0059] In summary, the negative pressure cylinder joint mechanism of the present invention, by adding a vacuum lock assembly 9 on the outer wall of the front end of the fixed cylinder 5, the working end of the vacuum lock assembly 9 can be inserted into the locking hole 107 for locking, so as to prevent the telescopic cylinder 1 from being forcibly opened under the negative pressure state in the cavity, and avoid the damage caused by the strong pulling airflow. By cleverly setting the elastic rubber plate 907 as a negative pressure detection and action element at the same time, it is not only convenient for observation, but also ensures that the locking hole 107 is always pinned under the negative pressure state. Compared with the electrical locking method using a sensor, it is more direct, stable and reliable. By adding a gasket 908 made of plastic material, the elastic rubber plate 907 is prevented from contacting the metal edge of the outer end of the lock pin 904 for a long time, the impact wear is reduced, and the service life of the elastic rubber plate 907 is increased. By setting the conical support plate 903, under normal working conditions, the elastic rubber plate 907 is compressed inward and attached to the outer cone surface of the support plate 903 to form an inner limit, so as to avoid the elastic rubber plate 907 from being damaged due to excessive deformation.
[0060] Example 3
[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also discloses an extruded board negative pressure foaming production line, comprising an automatic feeder, an extruder 10, a mold, a leveling device 11, a tractor 8, a negative pressure cylinder joint mechanism as described in the above embodiment, a water tank 13, a rear conveying frame 14 and a post-processing equipment group 15, which are connected in sequence from the front. The mold, the leveling device 11 and the tractor 8 are all provided with a sealed cover.
[0062] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the butt flange plate 108 is detachably sealed and connected to the sealing housing of the tractor 8. When the telescopic cylinder 1 is a cylindrical structure, a transfer housing with a round mouth to a square mouth is arranged between the butt flange plate 108 and the housing of the tractor 8. The transfer housing and the butt flange plate 108 are connected by flange bolts. The air extraction device for extracting air to form negative pressure is connected to the sealing housing of the tractor 8 through a pipe joint, and the sealing housing of the tractor 8 is also connected to an exhaust valve.
[0063] The rear end of the fixed cylinder 5 is bent downward into the pool 13 and immersed below the liquid level. When the negative pressure is working, part of the water in the pool 13 climbs up a distance along the inclined section of the sealing cylinder 16. The front end of the rear conveying frame 14 is connected to the lower port of the fixed cylinder 5 to convey the extruded board, and the rear section of the rear conveying frame 14 outputs the extruded board upward and backward to the post-processing equipment group 15. The rear conveying frame 14 adopts the method of pressing the conveyor belt up and down, and the two parallel conveyor belts clamp and convey the extruded board to avoid automatic floating under the action of water buoyancy and unable to continue to convey backward. An air-drying device is also provided at a high place obliquely upwardly from the rear end of the rear conveying frame 14, and the air-drying device blows the water stains on the upper and lower sides of the extruded board dry.
[0064] The post-processing equipment group 15 includes a trimming device, a roughening and grooving device and a cutting device. The air extraction device includes a combination of a negative pressure fan and a vacuum pump.
[0065] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a second cylinder 12, and the leveling device 11 and the tractor 8 are arranged side by side and the frames are connected together by bolts. The bottom of the frames of the leveling device 11 and the tractor 8 are both slidably connected to the guide rail 2 through the slider guide, and the second cylinder 12 is installed on the ground below the leveling device 11 through the end plate support, and the piston rod end of the second cylinder 12 is connected to the connecting plate at the bottom of the frame of the tractor 8.
[0066] By adding the second action cylinder 12, when the mold is maintained or replaced, the push-up and leveling device 11 and the traction machine 8 move backward on the ground guide rail 2, which can make room behind the mold for operators to operate.
[0067] When the negative pressure foaming production line of the extruded board of the present invention is working: the production process of the foaming molding of the polystyrene insulation board is carried out under a negative pressure state, and the negative pressure is controlled at 0.02-0.04MPa. In this way, the polystyrene insulation board can be foamed very fully when discharged from the extrusion port of the mold, so that the specific gravity of the insulation board is reduced, which can reduce the consumption of raw materials and correspondingly reduce the production cost. Since the foaming is particularly sufficient, the quality of the insulation board is also significantly improved. Under the pulling of the traction roller of the traction machine 8, the extruded board is transported backward. When passing through the negative pressure cylinder joint mechanism of the present invention, the extruded board passes on the movable conveying frame 4 and the fixed conveying frame 6 and is supported by the conveying roller 401. When the mold needs to be replaced or maintenance and overhaul is required, the production line is first shut down, and the emptying valve is operated to discharge the negative pressure of the entire sealed pipeline cavity. At the end of the emptying, it is observed that the elastic rubber plate 907 of the vacuum lock assembly 9 is ejected and the lock pin 904 is unlocked. The operator removes the bolts on the docking flange plate 108, and then operates the cylinder 1 3 to open the telescopic cylinder 1, and the telescopic cylinder 1 is inserted into the fixed cylinder 5. The movable conveyor frame 4 is lifted out from the opening by the overhead crane, so that an operating space for maintenance and repair is formed between the traction machine 8 and the docking flange plate 108. When the mold needs to be replaced, the bolts between the leveling device 11 and the mold cover are removed, and the operating cylinder 2 12 is operated to start, and the operating cylinder 2 12 is ejected, so that the leveling device 11 and the traction machine 8 move backward along the ground guide rail 2 as a whole, and a new operating space is formed behind the mold to facilitate mold replacement.
