Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of double-wall corrugated pipes, and in particular to a production device and a production method for an MPP double-wall corrugated pipe. Background Art

[0002] MPP double-wall corrugated pipe is a special pipe with smooth inner wall, corrugated outer wall and hollow inner and outer walls, which is made of polypropylene as the main raw material and added with processing additives that are beneficial to the performance of the pipe. It is suitable for buried protection of power, cables and communication optical and cable, and has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and good flexibility. When the double-wall corrugated pipe is produced, the raw material of the double-wall corrugated pipe is extruded from the extruder, and then extruded and shaped by the die to form a ring structure on the outer wall of the double-wall corrugated pipe.

[0003] The production device of MMP double-wall corrugated pipe includes an extruder, an extrusion die, a corrugated pipe forming machine, a cooling water tank and a cutting machine. The raw materials are extruded by the extruder, enter the corrugated pipe forming machine after the extrusion die, and arrive at the cooling water tank for cooling after being formed by the corrugated pipe forming machine. Finally, they are cut by the cutting machine to obtain segmented MPP double-wall corrugated pipes. MPP double-wall corrugated pipes have different specifications and sizes, and the shapes of the annular protrusions on the corrugated pipes are also different. If different types of double-wall corrugated pipes are to be produced, a corrugated pipe forming machine of corresponding specifications is required. At present, a production device has been disclosed in the prior art, in which the molds are sequentially set and connected according to the size, and the mold blocks can be replaced when used. However, in actual applications, since the mold is divided into several blocks, the installation will bring about the problem of installation accuracy. When the installation accuracy is not enough, there will be gaps between the molds, resulting in flash on the products produced. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a production device and a production method for an MPP double-wall corrugated pipe, aiming to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] The molding module includes a plurality of mold blocks, each of which is formed with a molding surface, and each of the mold blocks is sequentially sleeved on the molding surface of another mold block according to the size relationship, and a preliminary connection component and an extrusion positioning component are arranged between adjacent mold blocks;

[0008] The preliminary connection assembly is used to connect adjacent mold blocks, and the extrusion positioning assembly provides radial extrusion force when adjacent molding modules are assembled together.

[0009] Furthermore, the preliminary connection assembly includes a resistance rod and a slider, the resistance rod is threadedly connected to the mold block, a first slide groove is opened on the mold block, the first slide groove is connected to the molding surface, the slider is slidably installed in the slide groove, and the slider can close the slide groove, when the resistance rod rotates, the end of the resistance rod resists the slider and pushes the slider to slide in the first direction into the connecting groove of the adjacent mold block, the connecting groove can accommodate the adjacent slider to slide in the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the resistance rod and the first direction, and the position of the first slide groove is adapted to the position of the connecting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the extrusion positioning assembly includes two arc-shaped elastic sheets, which are installed in the connecting grooves. The elastic sheets are relatively arranged and squeeze the slider. When the slider squeezes one of the elastic sheets, the elastic sheets can be relatively deformed to allow the slide groove to slide in a direction close to the corresponding elastic sheet.

[0011] Furthermore, a tension spring is connected between the slider and the first slide groove, and the tension spring is used to provide an elastic force for the slider to slide into the first slide groove.

[0012] A method for producing an MPP double-wall corrugated pipe, characterized in that: a production device for an MPP double-wall corrugated pipe is provided, comprising an extruder and a molding machine, wherein the molding machine comprises a driving mechanism and a plurality of component molding modules, each of which comprises two molding modules, and the two molding modules are assembled to form a molding die for the corrugated pipe, and the driving mechanism cyclically drives the component molding modules to assemble or separate from each other to continuously mold the corrugated pipe;

[0013] The molding module includes a plurality of mold blocks, each of which is formed with a molding surface, and each of the mold blocks is sequentially sleeved on the molding surface of another mold block according to the size relationship, and a preliminary connection component and an extrusion positioning component are arranged between adjacent mold blocks;

[0014] The preliminary connection assembly is used to connect adjacent mold blocks, and the extrusion positioning assembly provides radial extrusion force when adjacent molding modules are assembled together.

[0015] The production method comprises the following steps:

[0016] S1. Select the mold block of corresponding size according to the shape of MPP double-wall corrugated pipe in advance, and pre-install it using the preliminary connection assembly;

[0017] S2. The installed mold block rotates in a driving cycle along with the driving mechanism. When it rotates to the molding position, the adjacent previous molding module squeezes the mold block of the current molding module so that the mold block automatically moves and positions along the second direction.

[0021] Furthermore, the production method is configured with a production status scoring strategy, which includes obtaining the average of production speed, material extrusion temperature, and surface extrusion pressure and calculating the production status score according to a preset scoring model. The production status score reflects the quality of the currently produced corrugated pipe, and the quality of the currently produced corrugated pipe is positively correlated with the production status score. When the calculated production status score does not reach the preset scoring threshold, a parameter adjustment suggestion is generated.

[0022] Furthermore, the pressure verification step also includes randomly obtaining the surface extrusion pressure at different parts to determine whether the surface extrusion pressure meets the pipeline production pressure conditions. If not, the pressure abnormality is recorded. The pipeline production pressure conditions are specifically that the surface extrusion pressure tends to decrease along the direction of production material transmission.

Therefore, this characteristic is used to automatically adjust the position and assemble the mold blocks to eliminate the errors caused by the installation. While the positioning effect is good, the generation of defects such as flash is also reduced;

[0025] 2. The present invention sets a pressure verification step and monitors the surface extrusion pressure to determine whether a connection error occurs, whether a pressure mutation, excessive pressure or insufficient pressure occurs, and combines actual abnormal conditions to assist in determining the quality of the current molding, with a high degree of automation.

[0051] Working principle:

[0052] Each group of molding modules includes two molding modules 1, and the two molding modules 1 are assembled together to form a molding mold for the corrugated pipe.

If the installation position of one of the mold blocks is offset, defects such as flash will be generated at the changed position, which also results in a long installation time. In the present application, an extrusion positioning component is added to provide radial extrusion force when adjacent molding modules 1 are assembled together, thereby making the molding surface continuous.
