It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0027] Since polyvinyl chloride has poor thermal stability, it begins to decompose hydrogen chloride gas when the heating temperature exceeds 150°C, and the plasticizing temperature of polyvinyl chloride is greater than 170°C. Therefore, when polyvinyl chloride is plasticized and blown into film, the gas produced by its own decomposition will work together with the compressed air to inflate the thin-walled tube, causing the amount of gas in the film bubble to exceed the predetermined amount, resulting in a change in the volume of the film bubble. In addition, because the amount of gas generated by polyvinyl chloride during the heating process is difficult to control, the amount of gas entering the film bubble is difficult to accurately control, resulting in unstable changes in the volume of the film bubble.

[0028] Based on this, the present application provides a device for controlling the diameter of a membrane bubble, including a membrane bubble stabilizing mechanism and a membrane bubble diameter adjusting mechanism, the membrane bubble stabilizing mechanism including a bubble stabilizing component and a membrane bubble flattening component, the membrane bubble diameter adjusting mechanism including a membrane sheet width measuring component and an exhaust component; the membrane bubble can be supported by the bubble stabilizing component to reduce the jitter of the membrane bubble; the membrane bubble is flattened by the membrane bubble flattening component to form a membrane sheet, so as to facilitate the subsequent measurement of the membrane sheet diameter; the width of the membrane sheet is measured by the membrane sheet width measuring component, and according to the measurement data, the exhaust component discharges excess gas to adjust the amount of gas entering the membrane bubble, thereby achieving precise control of the membrane bubble diameter and further controlling the shrinkage rate of the product.

[0029] Some specific implementation modes described below are intended to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the present embodiment, and the present embodiment is not limited to some specific implementation modes described below.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a device for controlling the diameter of a film bubble, including a film bubble stabilizing mechanism 1 and a film bubble diameter adjusting mechanism 2; the film bubble stabilizing mechanism 1 includes a film bubble stabilizing component 11 and a film bubble flattening component 12, the film bubble stabilizing component 11 is arranged at the outlet end of the film blowing machine 4 and is used to support the film bubble 5, and the film bubble flattening component 12 is arranged on the side of the film stabilizing component 11 away from the outlet end of the film blowing machine 4, and is used to flatten the film bubble 5 to form a film sheet 6; the film bubble diameter adjusting mechanism 2 includes a film sheet width measuring component 21 and an exhaust component 22, the film sheet width measuring component 21 is used to measure the width of the film sheet 6, and the exhaust component 22 is arranged at the outlet end of the film blowing machine 4 and is used to exhaust part of the gas that will enter the film bubble 5. Among them, the exhaust component 22 can adopt a manual valve, and the exhaust is operated by the operator; it can also adopt an electromagnetic valve, and the exhaust is automatically controlled by the circuit.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bubble 5 can be supported by the bubble stabilizing component 11 to reduce the shaking of the bubble 5; the bubble 5 is flattened by the bubble flattening component 12 to form a diaphragm 6, so as to facilitate the subsequent measurement of the diameter of the diaphragm 6; the width of the diaphragm 6 is measured by the diaphragm width measuring component 21, and according to the measurement data, the exhaust component 22 discharges excess gas to adjust the amount of gas entering the bubble 5, thereby achieving precise control of the diameter of the bubble 5 and further controlling the shrinkage rate of the product.

[0032] The device for controlling the diameter of the film bubble of this embodiment may further include a support frame (not shown) and a traction mechanism 3, wherein the film bubble stabilizing mechanism 1, the film bubble diameter adjusting mechanism 2 and the traction mechanism 3 are arranged on the support frame, and the support frame supports the film bubble stabilizing mechanism 1, the film bubble diameter adjusting mechanism 2 and the traction mechanism 3. After the film bubble 5 is formed into a film sheet 6 by the film bubble flattening assembly 12, it can be pulled by the traction mechanism 3.

[0033] In one embodiment, the bubble stabilizing component 11 includes two opposing supporting components, and the distance between the two supporting components gradually decreases along the direction approaching the membrane bubble flattening component 12 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the bubble stabilizing component 11 is located above the film blowing machine 4 and below the film bubble flattening component 12; the bubble stabilizing component 11 can support the film bubble 5 through two opposing supporting components to reduce the shaking of the film bubble 5. In the direction close to the film bubble flattening component 12, the distance between the two supporting components gradually decreases, so that the bubble stabilizing component 11 can adapt to film bubbles 5 of different volumes, so as to play a good supporting role for film bubbles 5 of different volumes.

[0035] In one embodiment, the supporting component includes a plurality of guide rollers 111 and a bracket 112 for supporting the plurality of guide rollers 111 , and the plurality of guide rollers 111 are arranged at intervals along the outlet end of the film blowing machine 4 toward the film bubble flattening assembly 12 .

[0036] In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of guide rollers 111, the film bubble 5 can be easily transferred to the film bubble flattening assembly 12. The bracket 112 supports the guide roller 111, and the bracket 112 can be fixed on the support frame. In order to increase the service life of the guide roller 111, the guide roller 111 can be made of stainless steel, and the guide roller 111 and the bracket 112 can be fixed by screws.

[0037] In one embodiment, the film bubble flattening assembly 12 includes a first pressing roller 121 and a second pressing roller 122 , and a channel 123 is left between the first pressing roller 121 and the second pressing roller 122 , and the channel 123 is used for the film bubble 5 to pass through to form a film sheet 6 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the bubble stabilizing component 11 supports the film bubble 5, and then the film bubble 5 passes through the gap between the two supporting components and moves to the channel 123 between the first pressing roller 121 and the second pressing roller 122. Under the pressure of the first pressing roller 121 and the second pressing roller 122, the gas of the film bubble 5 is squeezed out to form a membrane sheet 6.

[0039] In one embodiment, the bubble flattening assembly 12 also includes a first support plate 124 and a second support plate 125, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the first pressure roller 121 and the second pressure roller 122; the first pressure roller 121 is rotatably connected to the first support plate 124 and the second support plate 125, and the second pressure roller 122 is rotatably connected to the first support plate 124 and the second support plate 125.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first support plate 124 and the second support plate 125 can support the first pressure roller 121 and the second pressure roller 122 , and the first support plate 124 and the second support plate 125 can be fixed on the support frame.

[0041] Among them, bearing seats can be installed at both ends of the first pressure roller 121 and the second pressure roller 122, and the bearing seats are fixed to the first support plate 124 and the second support plate 125 by screws; the first pressure roller 121 and the second pressure roller 122 are rotatably connected to the first support plate 124 and the second support plate 125 through the bearing seats, which can reduce the wear of the first pressure roller 121 and the second pressure roller 122 to increase their service life.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first pressing roller 121 is a chrome-plated steel roller, and the second pressing roller 122 is a rubber roller.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first pressure roller 121 adopts a chrome-plated steel roller to provide the required extrusion hardness so that it has a long service life. The second pressure roller 122 adopts a rubber roller to provide elastic extrusion. Through the cooperation of the chrome-plated steel roller and the rubber roller, the membrane bubble 5 can be squeezed to form a membrane sheet 6 without causing damage to the surface of the membrane bubble 5.

[0044] In one embodiment, the diaphragm width measuring component 21 includes a light source board 211, a camera 212 and a width measuring device 213. The light source board 211 is arranged on one side of the diaphragm 6 and is in contact with the diaphragm 6. The width of the light source board 211 is greater than the width of the diaphragm 6. The camera 212 is arranged on the other side of the diaphragm 6 and corresponds to the light source board 211, and is used to collect the projection formed by the diaphragm 6 on the light source board 211. The width measuring device 213 is electrically connected to the camera 212, and is used to measure the width of the projection collected by the camera 212.

[0045] In this embodiment, the light source plate 211 can be set below the diaphragm 6 and close to the surface of the diaphragm 6, and the camera 212 is set above the diaphragm 6. When the diaphragm 6 passes through the diaphragm width measuring component 21, the projection of the diaphragm 6 on the light source plate 211 is collected by the camera 212 and uploaded to the width measuring device 213. The width measuring device 213 can analyze and process the image collected by the camera 212; when the width measuring device 213 analyzes that the diameter of the membrane bubble (that is, the diaphragm width) is too large, the excess gas is discharged through the exhaust component 22.

[0046] In one embodiment, the device further comprises a heat preservation component (not shown in the figure) arranged outside the screw sleeve of the film blowing machine 4 .

[0047] Since polyvinyl chloride resin has relatively poor thermal stability, it is more likely to decompose and release gas when the heating temperature fluctuates. In addition, the heat released by the resin raw material during the extrusion process and its own excessive heating can easily cause overheating. Therefore, in this embodiment, a heat preservation component is provided outside the screw sleeve of the film blowing machine 4 to reduce the temperature fluctuation of the screw to maintain the stability of the polyvinyl chloride heating.

[0048] In one embodiment, the thermal insulation component includes a thermal insulation pipe, and heat transfer oil is arranged in the thermal insulation pipe.

[0049] In this embodiment, the insulation component can be configured as an insulation tube, which can be arranged around the outside of the screw sleeve to insulate the screw. Heat transfer oil is arranged in the insulation tube, which has a better insulation effect and a small temperature fluctuation, and can play a better role in reducing the temperature fluctuation of the screw.

[0050] In one embodiment, the device includes a bubble stabilizing mechanism 1, a bubble diameter adjusting mechanism 2 and a control device, wherein the bubble stabilizing mechanism 1 includes a bubble stabilizing component 11 and a bubble flattening component 12, and the bubble diameter adjusting mechanism 2 includes a diaphragm width measuring component 21 and an exhaust component 22, and the control device is electrically connected to the diaphragm width measuring component 21 and the exhaust component 22. Among them, the structures of the bubble stabilizing mechanism 1 and the bubble diameter adjusting mechanism 2 are the same as those in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0051] In this embodiment, after the film bubble 5 is blown out by the film blowing machine 4, it is supported by the bubble stabilizing component 11, and then the film bubble 5 is flattened by the film bubble flattening component 12 to form a film sheet 6. When the film sheet 6 passes through the film sheet width measuring component 21, the projection formed by the film sheet 6 on the light source board 211 is collected by the camera 212 and uploaded to the width measuring device 213. The width measuring device 213 can analyze and process the image collected by the camera 212; when the width measuring device 213 analyzes that the film bubble diameter (that is, the film sheet width) is too large, the control device controls the solenoid valve of the exhaust component 22 to automatically open the exhaust. After the excess gas is discharged, the solenoid valve of the exhaust component 22 is automatically closed to complete the precise control of the film bubble diameter.

[0052] In summary, the bubble diameter adjustment mechanism 2 of the present application can adjust the amount of gas that will enter the bubble 5 in real time to accurately control the diameter of the bubble 5, thereby controlling the shrinkage rate of the product to improve product quality.
