Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of foam board manufacturing technology, specifically to a foam board processing device that improves cooling effect. Background Technology

[0002] Foam board is a lightweight board material made primarily of polystyrene. Its interior is filled with a honeycomb-like closed-cell structure, making it extremely lightweight, providing thermal insulation, moisture resistance, and shock absorption. Due to its excellent cushioning properties and low cost, it is widely used in building exterior wall insulation, cold storage insulation, product shockproof packaging, and advertising exhibition model making, making it a very common auxiliary material in daily life.

[0003] Patent application CN202010554793.7 discloses a foam board processing equipment for improving cooling effect, including a support frame, a hopper, a feeding plate, a cooling device, a spreading device, a feeding device, a motor, and a first air pump. The spreading device includes a feeding plate, a feeding mechanism, a rotating roller, a matching groove, a drive mechanism, and an inclined plate. The longitudinal section of the end of the rotating roller is semi-circular, and the matching groove is evenly opened at the end of the rotating roller along the circumference. There are three inclined plates, evenly arranged along the circumference of the rotating roller, and there is a gap between the inclined plates and the feeding plate. The cooling device stirs and blows air to cool the heated and foamed polystyrene foam particles accumulated in the hopper, thereby increasing the cooling speed. Then, the drive mechanism causes the foam particles, after being cooled for a period of time, to be automatically sprinkled onto the feeding device. The flow rate is controlled during the sprinkling process to cool them further, thus improving the cooling effect. The feeding device then conveys the foam particles to a mold for injection molding.

[0004] When the existing equipment is in use, the foam particles have poor fluidity during the cooling process and are prone to accumulating and sticking together, which prevents the internal heat from being dissipated in time and causes uneven heat dissipation. At the same time, some foam is prone to remain between the grid plates, which not only affects the smooth flow of subsequent materials, but also reduces the continuous operating efficiency of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a foam board processing device that improves cooling efficiency, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a foam board processing device for improving cooling effect, comprising a first outer shell, a top plate fixedly connected to the top of the first outer shell, a feed inlet fixedly connected to the top of the top plate, a first grid plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first outer shell, a second grid plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first outer shell, the outer wall of the second grid plate fixedly connected to the first grid plate, air guide components fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the first outer shell, and a bottom mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the first outer shell; by setting the first grid plate and the second grid plate, the foam particles are more easily dispersed under the action of gravity and airflow, and fully contact the cooling gas during the flow process, accelerating heat dissipation and effectively preventing particles from sticking together or accumulating; at the same time, the foam is guided to move directionally with the airflow in coordination with the air supply direction, further reducing the foam residue inside the equipment, improving cooling uniformity and processing continuity, and enhancing the overall cooling effect.

[0007] The bottom mechanism includes:

[0008] The second outer shell has its top fixedly connected to the first outer shell. A movable rod is movably connected to the top of the second outer shell, and a first movable plate is fixedly connected to the top of the movable rod. A third grid plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first movable plate, and a second movable plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the third grid plate. Both the first and second grid plates are connected to the first outer shell via connecting columns, while the third grid plate is fixedly connected to the first movable plate via connecting columns. The second movable plate moves between multiple first grid plates. By setting a bottom mechanism, the movable rod drives the third grid plate and the second movable plate to move up and down reciprocally, causing the foam particles between the grid plates to be disturbed and loosened, preventing material retention or blockage, ensuring that the foam particles fall smoothly to the discharge port, further improving the continuity of discharge and the operational reliability of the equipment, and enhancing the overall processing smoothness.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the inner wall of the first outer shell is provided with a slot, and the inner wall of the slot is movably connected to the first movable plate. The slot is used to limit the movement trajectory of the third grid plate and the second movable plate.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, mounting slots are provided on both the left and right sides of the first outer shell, and a fan is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting slot, wherein the fan is used to drive the flow of gas.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, an air guide plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first housing. The air guide plate is used to limit the direction of gas flow inside the first housing. By setting the air guide plate, the air ducts in different areas are effectively isolated, avoiding cross-flow and turbulence interference between adjacent airflow channels, ensuring that the air volume and air direction of each cooling section are stable and controllable, thereby improving the rationality of airflow and cooling efficiency, and enhancing the stability and controllability of the cooling process.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the air guiding component includes an outer frame, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the first outer shell, and a ventilation opening is provided on the outer wall of the outer frame. A cover plate is fixedly connected to the side of the outer frame away from the first outer shell. There are multiple ventilation openings, and the openings of the ventilation openings for air outlet and air inlet have different orientations. By setting the air guiding component with different opening orientations for the air outlet and air inlet, the hot air exhaust path and the fresh air introduction path can be effectively separated, preventing the exhaust high-temperature gas from being re-inhaled into the air duct, avoiding the cooling gas temperature from rising and reducing the heat exchange efficiency, thereby ensuring that the cooling gas is always at a low temperature, enhancing the utilization efficiency of the cooling medium and the long-term operational stability.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, the top of the second outer shell is provided with a discharge port, wherein the outlet of the discharge port is located on the left side of the second outer shell for discharging materials.

[0014] According to the above technical solution, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second housing, and a rotating roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate via a bearing. A motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second housing, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating roller. A force-bearing rod is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating roller away from the motor. The motor is used to drive the rotating roller to rotate.

[0015] According to the above technical solution, the movable rod passes through the second outer shell and extends into the interior of the second outer shell. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable rod, and a sliding plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod. The outer wall of the force-bearing rod is movably connected to the connecting rod. A spring is sleeved on the bottom of the movable rod. The bottom of the spring is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and the top of the spring is fixedly connected to the second outer shell. The rotation of the rotating roller is used to control the reciprocating movement of the first movable plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a foam board processing device that improves the cooling effect, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By setting a first grid plate and a second grid plate, the foam particles are more easily dispersed under the action of gravity and airflow, and fully contact the cooling gas during the flow process, accelerating heat dissipation and effectively preventing particles from sticking together or accumulating. At the same time, the direction of air supply guides the foam to move in the direction of airflow, further reducing the foam residue inside the equipment, improving cooling uniformity and processing continuity, and enhancing the overall cooling effect.

[0018] 2. By setting up air guide plates, the present invention effectively isolates the air ducts in different areas, avoids cross-flow and turbulence interference between adjacent airflow channels, and ensures that the air volume and direction of each cooling section are stable and controllable, thereby improving the rationality of airflow and cooling efficiency, and enhancing the stability and controllability of the cooling process.

[0019] 3. By setting up an air guide component with different opening directions for the air outlet and air inlet, the present invention can effectively separate the hot air exhaust path and the fresh air introduction path, prevent the exhaust high-temperature gas from being re-inhaled into the air duct, avoid the cooling gas temperature from rising and reducing heat exchange efficiency, thereby ensuring that the cooling gas is always at a low temperature, and enhancing the utilization efficiency and long-term operational stability of the cooling medium.

[0020] 4. By setting up a bottom mechanism, the present invention uses a movable rod to drive the third grid plate and the second movable plate to move up and down reciprocally, so that the foam particles between each grid plate are disturbed and loosened and fall off, avoiding material retention or blockage, ensuring that the foam particles fall smoothly to the discharge port, further improving the continuity of discharge and the operational reliability of the equipment, and enhancing the overall processing smoothness.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0033] Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0034] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Example 1: See Figures 1-4The present invention provides a technical solution: a foam board processing device for improving cooling effect, comprising a first outer shell 1, a top plate 101 fixedly connected to the top of the first outer shell 1, an inlet 102 fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 101, a first grid plate 107 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first outer shell 1, a second grid plate 108 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first outer shell 1, the outer wall of the second grid plate 108 fixedly connected to the first grid plate 107, air guide assemblies 11 fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the first outer shell 1, and a bottom mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the first outer shell 1. The inner wall of the first outer shell 1 is provided with a slot 103, and the inner wall of the slot 103 is movably connected to the first movable plate 2010. The slot 103 is used to limit the movement trajectory of the third grid plate 2011 and the second movable plate 2012. The left and right sides of the first outer shell 1 are provided with mounting slots 104, and the inner wall of the mounting slot 104 is fixedly connected to a fan 106, which is used to drive the flow of gas. The inner wall of the first outer shell 1 is fixedly connected to a guide plate 105, which is used to limit the direction of gas flow inside the first outer shell 1.

[0036] After the equipment is started, the foam particles to be cooled are fed into the first outer shell 1 through the inlet 102. The foam particles first fall onto the first grid plate 107. Due to the gaps between the grid plates, the foam particles flow downwards along the surface of the grid plate under the action of gravity. At the same time, the fans 106 installed on the left and right sides of the first outer shell 1 start to operate, driving external air into the first outer shell 1 through the air guide assembly 11. The air guide plate 105 guides the incoming airflow, so that the cooling gas flows through the foam particle layer of the first grid plate 107 along a predetermined path, carrying away the heat carried by the foam and completing the initial cooling. The hot air is discharged through the air guide assembly 11 on the other side. Among them, multiple first grid plates 107 form The multi-level, staggered cooling channels cause the foam particles to continuously change their direction of movement as they fall along the surface of the grating plates, thereby extending their residence time in the cooling area. This ensures that all surfaces of the foam particles can fully contact the cooling gas. Furthermore, since the first grating plate 107 and the second grating plate 108 are both fixedly connected to the first outer shell 1 via connecting columns, the spacing between each grating plate remains constant. This ensures both ventilation area and prevents foam particles from falling directly without cooling due to excessively large gaps. During continuous operation of the equipment, the fan 106 is always in working condition, ensuring a continuous ventilation environment inside the first outer shell 1 and effectively preventing backflow of external hot air, thereby maintaining a relatively stable cooling gas temperature.

[0037] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 5-9Based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: the air guide assembly 11 includes an outer frame 111, the outer wall of the outer frame 111 is fixedly connected to the first outer shell 1, the outer wall of the outer frame 111 is provided with a ventilation opening 112, and a cover plate 113 is fixedly connected to the side of the outer frame 111 away from the first outer shell 1. There are multiple ventilation openings 112, and the ventilation openings 112 used for air outlet and air inlet have different opening directions.

[0038] The bottom mechanism 2 includes: a second outer shell 2013, the top of the second outer shell 2013 being fixedly connected to the first outer shell 1, a movable rod 208 being movably connected to the top of the second outer shell 2013, a first movable plate 2010 being fixedly connected to the top of the movable rod 208, a third grid plate 2011 being fixedly connected to the inner side of the first movable plate 2010, and a second movable plate 2012 being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the third grid plate 2011. The first grid plate 107 and the second grid plate 108 are both connected to the first outer shell 1 through connecting columns, the third grid plate 2011 is fixedly connected to the first movable plate 2010 through connecting columns, and the second movable plate 2012 moves among the multiple first grid plates 107. The top of the second outer shell 2013 has a discharge port 202, the outlet of which is located on the left side of the second outer shell 2013 for material discharge. A connecting plate 203 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second outer shell 2013. A rotating roller 204 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 203 via bearings. A motor 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second outer shell 2013. The output end of the motor 201 is fixedly connected to the rotating roller 204. A force-bearing rod 205 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating roller 204 away from the motor 201. The motor 201 drives the rotating roller 204 to rotate. A movable rod 208 passes through the second outer shell 2013 and extends into the interior of the second outer shell 2013. A connecting rod 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable rod 208. A sliding groove plate 207 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 206. The outer wall of the force-bearing rod 205 is movably connected to the connecting rod 206. A sleeve is fitted at the bottom of the movable rod 208. Spring 209 is fixedly connected at its bottom to connecting rod 206 and at its top to second housing 2013. The rotation of rotating roller 204 controls the reciprocating movement of first movable plate 2010. During operation, motor 201 in bottom mechanism 2 drives rotating roller 204 to rotate, and force rod 205 rotates synchronously with rotating roller 204, pushing connecting rod 206 and slide plate 207 to move, thereby driving movable rod 208 to reciprocate up and down. This, in turn, drives the first movable plate 2010, third grid plate 2011, and second movable plate 2012 at the top of movable rod 208 to reciprocate up and down along the trajectory of slot 103, disturbing the foam particles between first grid plate 107 and second grid plate 108, preventing foam from getting stuck or accumulating, and ensuring smooth material flow. The cooled foam particles are finally discharged from the equipment through outlet 202, completing the entire cooling process.
