[0031] Example 1, see Figure 1-2 :

[0032] A device for adjusting the hardness of foam glue includes an air supply, air replenishment and pressurization device 1, which is connected to a barrel 2. The air supply, air replenishment and pressurization device 1 includes an air pump, which is connected to the top of the barrel 2 through a compressed air pipeline 10. The air pump is used to input compressed air into the barrel 2. The compressed air pipeline 10 is provided with a switch valve and a pipeline pressure gauge 11. As an embodiment, the air supply, air replenishment and pressurization device 1 is also provided with a safety valve, which plays a safety protection role. When the pressure of the device exceeds the specified value, the safety valve opens to discharge part of the air in the system into the external environment, thereby avoiding accidents.

[0033] There are at least two barrels 2, and a heater 20 and a temperature detector are provided in the barrel 2. The temperature detector is used to detect the temperature condition in the barrel 2. The heater 20 is used to maintain the storage temperature environment in the barrel 2 to prevent the stored raw materials from solidifying. It is understandable that the heater 20 is more effective if it adopts a constant temperature heating device; a raw material agitator 21 is provided in at least one barrel 2.

[0034] As an embodiment, the number of the barrels 2 is two, namely a first barrel 22 for placing component A and a second barrel for placing component B. The raw material agitator 21 is arranged in the first barrel 22, and two compressed air pipelines 10 are arranged between the air pump and the first barrel 22. One compressed air pipeline 10 is used for pressurization, and the other compressed air pipeline 10 is used for air replenishment. The polyurethane of component A in the first barrel 22 is supplemented with air to adjust the density during the stirring process, so that component A remains homogeneous; while component B in the second barrel does not need to be stirred and the raw material agitator 21 is not arranged. A compressed air pipeline 10 is arranged between the air pump and the second barrel. It can be understood that the raw material agitator 21 is driven by the raw material stirring motor 23, and the raw material stirring motor 23 is installed on the top of the first barrel 22.

[0035] As an embodiment, the heater 20 includes two heating rods at different heights, a heating plate 24 is provided within the height range between the two heating rods, the raw material agitator 21 is vertically placed in the middle of the barrel 2, and the heating plate 24 is arranged outside the raw material agitator 21. Specifically, as an embodiment, a heating rod mounting hole is provided on the barrel 2, the heating part of the heating rod extends into the barrel 2 from the heating rod mounting hole, the heating plate 24 is a ring-shaped heating plate or an arc-shaped heating plate, and the heating plate 24 is installed on the inner wall of the barrel 2 through a fixing member.

[0036] As an embodiment, the barrel 2 is provided with a liquid level gauge, which is used to detect the liquid level of the raw material in the barrel 2. For example, a stainless steel glass tube liquid level gauge 3 is used, and the operator can visually observe the organic glass tube of the stainless steel glass tube liquid level gauge 3 to judge the liquid level in the barrel 2.

[0037] The bottom of the barrel 2 is connected to a mixer 5 through a glue outlet pipeline 4. The mixer 5 is used to stir the raw materials input from different barrels 2. A metering pump 40 is provided on the glue outlet pipeline 4. The metering pump 40 accurately adjusts the flow rate by changing the stroke size of the internal plunger to achieve precise adjustment of the flow rates of component A and component B, thereby avoiding improper control of the ratio of component A and component B, resulting in poor foaming and the hardness of the foamed glue failing to meet the requirements.

[0038] It is understandable that the material outlet at the bottom of the barrel 2 may be provided with an outlet valve 25 , and the opening and closing of the outlet valve 25 determines whether the raw materials flow into the glue outlet pipeline 4 .

[0039] An inlet pressure detection gauge 41 and an outlet pressure detection gauge 42 are respectively provided at both ends of the metering pump 40. The inlet pressure detection gauge 41 and the outlet pressure detection gauge 42 are used to detect the pressure conditions at both ends of the metering pump 40, and maintain the pressure stable when the metering pump 40 is running to suck the raw materials of component A / component B. When the pressure detected by the inlet pressure detection gauge 41 and the outlet pressure detection gauge 42 is stable, the flow rate of component A or component B is more accurate.

[0040] As an embodiment, the glue outlet pipeline 4 is provided with a filter 43, and the filter 43 is used to filter out the precipitated crystals and solidified materials. It can be understood that the filter 43 includes a filter net, and the filter 43 is arranged at one end close to the barrel 2. The raw materials flowing out of the glue outlet pipeline 4 are filtered by the filter 43 and then accurately controlled by the metering pump 40 to be transported to the mixing agitator 5.

[0041] A return rubber pipeline 6 is arranged between the metering pump 40 and the barrel 2, and the other end of the return rubber pipeline 6 is connected to the barrel 2, so that the remaining raw materials in the return rubber pipeline 6 that have not been transported by the metering pump 40 are returned to the corresponding barrel 2 through the return rubber pipeline 6 for recycling, thereby increasing fluidity and helping to reduce the deposition of raw materials in the return rubber pipeline 6. At the same time, the heater 20 arranged in the barrel 2 can maintain the storage temperature environment in the barrel 2 to prevent the stored raw materials from solidifying.

[0042] As an implementation mode, a four-way 44 is provided at the front end of the metering pump 40, and four pipeline interfaces of the four-way 44 are respectively connected to the rubber outlet pipeline 4, the metering pump 40, the inlet pressure detection gauge 41, and the rubber return pipeline 6.

[0043] As an embodiment, the mixing agitator 5 includes a mixing chamber, in which a stirring head 50 is arranged, and the stirring head 50 is driven by a stirring motor 51 for stirring the raw materials of component A and component B. The stirring motor 51 is arranged at the top of the mixing chamber, and a nozzle 51 is arranged at the bottom of the mixing chamber. The stirred two-component foaming glue is sprayed out through the nozzle 51 for extrusion molding; preferably, a protrusion 52 is connected to the lower part of the mixing chamber, the head of the stirring head 50 is arranged in the protrusion 52, the nozzle 51 is arranged at the bottom of the protrusion 52, and a gap is left between the nozzle 51 and the inner side wall of the protrusion 52. The outer surface of the head of the stirring head 50 is provided with a plurality of columns of inclined vertical grooves and a plurality of rows of transverse grooves, and the inclined vertical grooves pass through the transverse grooves, which is beneficial to improving the mixing and stirring effect.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Repeat Example 1, but the mixing stirrer 5 is installed on the bridge-type three-coordinate moving assembly. The bridge-type three-coordinate moving assembly adopts the common bridge-type three-coordinate moving equipment on the market, which is used to move the mixing stirrer 5 in the three coordinate directions of X, Y, and Z, so that the two-component foaming glue is squeezed through the nozzle 51 of the mixing stirrer 5 to complete the required graphics. It can be understood that an industrial control computer is also provided, and the bridge-type three-coordinate moving assembly, the mixing stirrer 5, the air supply and air replenishment pressurization device 1, and the metering pump 40 are respectively electrically connected to the industrial control computer. During production and processing, the A component and the B component sucked by the metering pump 40 enter the mixing stirrer 5 according to the weight ratio under the control of the industrial control computer, and the stirring motor drives the stirring head 50 to stir and mix the A component and the B component entering the mixing chamber, and sprays out through the nozzle 51 for extrusion molding before solidification during the two-component mixing foaming time. Under the action of the bridge-type three-coordinate moving assembly, the foaming glue is coated and extruded on the workpiece that needs to be sealed according to the set processing size range, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0046] Example 3, see Figure 3-4 :

[0047] Example 2 is repeated, but a glue coating station base is provided below the mixing agitator 5, and the glue coating station base is used to place the workpiece to be extruded and coated with glue.

[0048] As an embodiment, the gluing station base includes an upper slide 74 and a lower slide 75, which are respectively installed on the guide rails of the base 70. The lower slide 75 is arranged on the inner side of the upper slide 74, and the bottom of the upper slide 74 is slidably installed on the outer track 73 of the guide rail of the base 70. The lower slide 75 includes a lifting platform, and a bottom slider is arranged at the bottom of the lifting platform, and the bottom slider is slidably installed on the inner track 72 of the guide rail of the base 70.

[0049] Specifically, the lifting platform adopts the common electric scissor-type lifting platform on the market. The base 70 guide rail includes two bases 70 arranged in parallel and four slide rails 71 arranged in parallel. Two slide rails 71 are arranged on each base 70. The slide rails 71 on the adjacent side of the two bases 70 are arranged as inner rails 72, and the slide rails 71 on the other side are arranged as outer rails 73.

[0050] When in use, the upper slide 74 and the lower slide 75 are used alternately, and the upper slide 74 moves to the gluing station 7 below the mixing agitator 5. The operator first places the workpiece on the upper slide 74 for foam glue coating, and then under the action of the outer track 73, the operator moves the upper slide 74 out, and the operator first places another workpiece on the lifting platform, and the lower slide 75 moves to the gluing station 7 below the mixing agitator 5. The lower slide 75 uses a lifting platform, and the lifting platform is lifted to the same level as the upper slide 74 for foam glue coating, and then the lifting platform descends and moves the lower slide 75 out along the inner track 72. The upper slide 74 is used alternately, and the cycle is repeated until all workpieces are glued.

[0051] The description of the above specification and embodiments is used to explain the protection scope of the utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Through the enlightenment of the utility model or the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field can obtain modifications, equivalent replacements or other improvements to the embodiments of the utility model or part of the technical features thereof through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
