Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of spraying systems, in particular to a spray head device and a release agent spraying system thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of compression molding of various materials, there is a process of spraying release agent on the mold surface. The main function of this process is to make the demoulding operation easy and prevent damage to the product caused by forced removal. The isolation of the release agent depends on its surface properties. Its notable feature is that the critical surface tension is small and it is difficult to be wetted by liquid. Because of this, the demoulding effect can be achieved.

[0003] In the above process, it is indispensable to use a spraying system to realize the spraying of the release agent. There are many types of spraying systems for release agents on the market, but their main structures are a source for supplying release agent, a gas source for supplying gas, and a nozzle for mixing the release agent and gas and spraying them. The components of a system that can realize the spraying of release agent cannot escape the above three.

[0004] However, there is a problem with the spraying system of the release agent in the prior art, that is, after each use of the spraying system, there will inevitably be some release agent residue left at the nozzle, which will easily lead to the clogging of the nozzle over time. The existing nozzles on the market have a gas-liquid mixing part and a nozzle part for spraying, so when the nozzle is blocked, the entire nozzle must be replaced, which will lead to excessively high maintenance costs of the release agent. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art that the mold release agent spraying system needs to frequently replace the spray head and the replacement cost is relatively high, the utility model provides a spray head device and a mold release agent spraying system thereof.

[0006] The utility model solves the technical problem by providing a nozzle device comprising:

[0011] Furthermore, the infusion valve body is a three-way air-controlled valve, and a cleaning connector is also connected to the infusion valve body.

[0012] The utility model also includes a release agent spraying system, which includes the spray head device described in any one of the above items;

[0013] Also included are:

[0014] A reagent supply component, comprising a reagent source for supplying a release agent and a reagent tank for storing the release agent, wherein the reagent source is in communication with the reagent tank for supplying the release agent;

[0015] A gas supply assembly, comprising a gas source for supplying gas;

[0016] The agent supply connection is formed between the agent tank and the nozzle through the first pipeline, and the agent delivery valve body is located on the first pipeline and is used to control the opening and closing of the first pipeline;

[0017] The gas source and the nozzle are connected to each other through a second pipeline to form a gas supply connection.

[0018] Furthermore, a third pipeline is included; the gas source and the delivery valve body are connected to each other through the third pipeline, so that the residual release agent in the delivery valve body is cleaned by the gas provided by the third pipeline;

[0019] The third pipeline is provided with a self-cleaning valve body, and the opening and closing of the third pipeline is controlled by opening and closing the self-cleaning valve body.

[0020] Furthermore, a fourth pipeline is included; the gas source and the delivery valve body are connected to each other through the fourth pipeline, so that the opening and closing of the delivery valve body are pneumatically controlled by the gas provided by the fourth pipeline;

[0021] The fourth pipeline is also provided with a control valve body, and the on-off of the fourth pipeline is controlled by opening and closing the control valve body.

[0022] Furthermore, a fifth pipeline is included; the gas source is connected to the pressurizing port of the filling tank through the fifth pipeline to form a gas supply connection;

[0023] The agent supply assembly also includes an agent circuit pressure regulating valve and a hydraulic switch, and the agent circuit pressure regulating valve and the hydraulic switch are both arranged on the fifth passage;

[0024] The opening and closing of the hydraulic switch is used to control the connection or interruption of the fifth pipeline, and the pressure of the gas input into the agent tank is controlled by the agent circuit pressure regulating valve.

[0025] Furthermore, the dosage assembly further comprises a filter and a dosage switch, and the filter and the dosage switch are both located on the passage between the dosage source and the dosage tank;

[0026] The opening and closing of the dosing switch is used to control the connection or interruption of the passage between the agent source and the agent filling tank, and the filter is used to filter the release agent input into the agent filling tank.

[0027] Furthermore, the gas supply component also includes an air circuit pressure regulating valve, which is arranged on all pipelines connected to the gas source, and the air circuit pressure regulating valve controls the air pressure input from the gas source to each pipeline.

[0028] Furthermore, a gas delivery valve body is provided on the second pipeline, and the on-off of the second pipeline is controlled by opening and closing the gas delivery valve body.

[0029] The spraying process and self-cleaning process of the utility model:

[0030] Before spraying, first turn on the dosing switch, so that the mold release agent at the source flows into the liquid tank after being filtered by the filter, and then turn off the dosing switch after the mold release agent in the liquid tank is added. Then turn on the hydraulic switch, and after adjusting the gas pressure provided by the gas source through the agent line pressure regulating valve, the gas is filled into the liquid tank through the fifth pipeline.

[0031] During spraying, the control valve body and the gas delivery valve body are opened, the second pipeline and the fourth pipeline are connected, and the gas provided by the gas source is passed to the agent delivery valve body and the mixing joint. The agent delivery valve body will switch its state under the action of the gas to make the first pipeline pass through, and the release agent blocked at the agent delivery valve body can flow into the mixing joint and mix with the gas input into the mixing joint, and finally sprayed out through the nozzle;

[0032] After spraying is completed, first close the control valve body, so that the agent delivery valve body returns to its original state to block the first pipeline, ensuring that the release agent cannot reach the mixing joint, and then close the gas delivery valve body to interrupt the second pipeline, ensuring that the gas cannot reach the mixing joint;

In addition, the shape and area of ​​the release agent spray can be adjusted by replacing different types of nozzles.

[0036] 2. A cleaning joint is provided on the delivery valve body.
