Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of IXPE foam production extrusion equipment, and more particularly to an IXPE foam production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the plastics processing industry, IXPE foam is widely used in various sectors due to its unique properties. As a key piece of equipment in IXPE foam production, the performance and ease of operation of the extruder directly impact production efficiency and product quality. Currently, common IXPE foam extruders on the market have certain limitations in their structural design.
[0003] One prominent issue is the fixed feeding height. In actual production, workers of varying heights are responsible for feeding operations, but the existing extruder feeding port height cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the operator's height. For taller workers, adding raw materials to the fixed-height feeding port may require frequent bending over, which not only easily leads to operator fatigue but may also cause occupational injuries to the lower back and other parts of the body if maintained in this posture for a long time. For shorter workers, they may need to use stepping stones to barely complete the feeding operation, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but also poses certain safety hazards, such as the possibility of falls due to unstable stepping stones.
[0004] Furthermore, an inappropriate feeding height can also affect the feeding speed and accuracy. Operators in an uncomfortable posture will find it difficult to quickly and accurately feed raw materials into the inlet, potentially leading to spillage, waste, and environmental pollution. This also requires additional time for cleanup, reducing overall production efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the operator's experience, increase production efficiency, reduce safety hazards and material waste, it is of great practical significance to develop an IXPE foam extruder that can adjust the feeding height to accommodate workers of different heights. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an IXPE foam production device that addresses the issue that inappropriate feeding height can affect feeding speed and accuracy. Operators, in an uncomfortable posture, find it difficult to quickly and accurately feed raw materials into the inlet. This invention improves the operator's experience, increases production efficiency, and reduces safety hazards and material waste.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] An IXPE foam production device includes an extrusion equipment body and a height-compatible mechanism connected to the extrusion equipment body. The height-compatible mechanism includes a support base, a drive component disposed on the support base, a lifting component connected to the output end of the drive component, and a guide component for guiding. The lifting component is connected to the feeding part of the extrusion equipment body to adjust its height.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lifting component includes a sliding buckle connected to the output end of the drive component and a lifting plate connected to the sliding buckle, wherein the lifting plate is fixedly connected to the feeding part of the main body of the extrusion equipment.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide component includes a slide groove disposed on the support base, and the lifting plate is provided with a slider that cooperates with the slide groove.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support base is further provided with a positioning support plate, and a tension spring is provided between the lifting plate and the positioning support plate.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide component includes a guide support plate, which is connected to the support base and is used to provide guide support for the lifting process.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a labor-saving feeding mechanism, which is connected to the main body of the extrusion equipment. The labor-saving feeding mechanism includes a guide plate, a push groove disposed on the guide plate, and a material pick-up frame that cooperates with the push groove.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the material handling rack is provided with a slider, and the guide plate is provided with a track structure that cooperates with the slider.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the material receiving rack is provided with a placement position for placing foam containers, and the slider is provided with ball bearings inside.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0017] 1. This invention, by setting up a height-compatible mechanism including a support base, a drive component, a lifting component, and a guide component, and connecting the lifting component to the feeding section of the extrusion equipment body, allows for flexible adjustment of the feeding height according to the needs of workers of different heights. This enables workers to maintain a more comfortable posture during feeding operations, reducing the risk of physical fatigue and occupational injury caused by prolonged uncomfortable operation. By incorporating a sliding buckle connected to the output end of the drive component and a lifting plate connected to the sliding buckle and fixed to the feeding section, stable adjustment of the feeding section height is achieved. By setting a sliding groove on the support base and a corresponding slider on the lifting plate, precise guidance is provided for the lifting process, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of height adjustment. By setting a positioning support plate on the support base and a tension spring between the lifting plate and the positioning support plate, the stability and cushioning effect of the lifting process are further enhanced.
[0018] 2. This invention, by setting up a labor-saving feeding mechanism including a guide plate, a pusher, and a feeding rack, makes foam feeding operations more convenient and labor-saving, thereby improving overall production efficiency, reducing the damage to foam that may be caused by laborious feeding, and ensuring product quality.

[0030] The support base 21 is also provided with a positioning support plate 27, and a tension spring 26 is provided between the lifting plate 24 and the positioning support plate 27. The guide component includes a guide support plate 28, which is connected to the support base 21 and is used to provide guidance and support for the lifting process.
[0031] It also includes a labor-saving feeding mechanism 3, which is connected to the main body 1 of the extrusion equipment. The labor-saving feeding mechanism 3 includes a guide plate 31, a push groove 32 disposed on the guide plate 31, and a material picker 33 that cooperates with the push groove 32. A slider 34 is disposed on the material picker 33, and a track structure that cooperates with the slider 34 is disposed on the guide plate 31.
[0032] The material handling rack 33 is provided with a placement position for placing foam containers, and the slider 34 is provided with ball bearings 35 inside.
[0033] This embodiment details an IXPE foam extruder with adjustable feeding height and labor-saving feeding function. The extruder mainly consists of an extrusion equipment body 1, a height-compatible mechanism 2, and a labor-saving feeding mechanism 3.
[0034] Equipment assembly
[0035] Installation of extrusion equipment body 1: Fix the extrusion equipment body 1 in a suitable working position according to the conventional installation method to ensure its stability. It is the core part of the entire equipment to realize IXPE foam extrusion.
[0036] Height Compatibility Mechanism 2 Installation
[0037] First, place the support base 21 stably on the ground as the basic support for the entire height-compatible mechanism 2.
[0038] Install the drive unit 22 at the designated position on the support base 21, ensuring that it is securely installed.
[0039] Next, connect the sliding buckle 23 to the output end of the drive component 22, then connect the lifting plate 24 to the sliding buckle 23, and fix the lifting plate 24 to the feeding part of the extrusion equipment body 1.
[0040] A groove 25 is made on the support base 21, and a slider 29 that cooperates with it is installed on the lifting plate 24 to ensure that the slider 29 can slide smoothly in the groove 25.
[0041] A positioning support plate 27 is installed on the support base 21, and a tension spring 26 is installed between the lifting plate 24 and the positioning support plate 27.
[0042] Finally, the guide plate 28 is connected to the support base 21 to provide additional guiding support for the lifting process.
[0043] Installation of the labor-saving material feeding mechanism 3
[0044] Install the guide plate 31 in a suitable position on the body 1 of the extrusion equipment, ensuring that its position is accurate and stable.
[0045] A push groove 32 is provided on the guide plate 31, and the material picker 33 is installed in conjunction with the push groove 32.
[0046] A slider 34 is installed on the pick-up rack 33, and a track structure that cooperates with the slider 34 is provided on the guide plate 31. Meanwhile, ball bearings 35 are installed inside the slider 34 to reduce sliding friction. A placement position for placing foam containers is provided on the pick-up rack 33.
[0047] Operational preparation
[0048] Check the power supply and control circuit of the drive unit 22 to ensure that it is working properly.
[0049] Check whether each component in the labor-saving feeding mechanism 3 is securely installed and whether the slider 34 can slide flexibly within the track structure.
[0050] In summary, the principle of adjusting the feeding height
[0051] When the feeding height needs to be adjusted, the drive unit 22 is activated, and the output end of the drive unit 22 begins to move, driving the sliding buckle 23 connected to it to move.
[0052] The movement of the sliding latch 23 will push the lifting plate 24 to move up or down. Since the lifting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the feeding part of the extrusion equipment body 1, the height of the feeding part can be adjusted.
[0053] During the lifting process of the lifting plate 24, the slider 29 on it moves along the groove 25 on the support base 21, ensuring the smoothness and directional accuracy of the lifting process. Simultaneously, the tension spring 26 plays a buffering and stabilizing role during the lifting process. When the lifting plate 24 rises, the tension spring 26 is stretched, providing a certain pulling force; when the lifting plate 24 descends, the elastic force of the tension spring 26 assists in its smooth descent. The guide plate 28 further provides reliable guiding support for the lifting process, ensuring that there is no deviation during the entire lifting process.
[0054] Labor-saving material feeding principle
[0055] When unloading IXPE foam after production is complete, the operator only needs to gently push the material picker 33.
[0056] The slider 34 on the pick-up rack 33 moves along the track structure on the guide plate 31. Since the slider 34 is equipped with ball bearings 35, the friction between the slider 34 and the track structure is greatly reduced, so that the pick-up rack 33 can be easily moved to the appropriate position.
[0057] The operator places the produced IXPE foam in the placement position of the picking rack 33, and then easily pushes the picking rack 33 again to move it to the unloading area, completing the labor-saving unloading process.
