[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the utility model proposes an improved high-efficiency foaming device to improve the efficiency and quality of polystyrene particle foaming. The device uses a well-designed steam barrel structure to achieve rapid and uniform heating of polystyrene particles, thereby greatly improving the foaming effect and energy utilization.
[0024] The foaming device comprises a steam barrel 1, which is a heating container for containing and heating polystyrene particles. An isolation net 2 is arranged at the lower part of the inner cavity of the steam barrel 1, which not only supports the polystyrene particles to prevent them from directly touching the bottom, but also ensures that the high-temperature steam is evenly distributed and penetrates the particle layer.
[0025] A high-temperature steam inlet interface 3 is also provided at the lower part of the side wall of the steam barrel 1, which is an important part for connecting the entire device with an external high-temperature steam supply device. Through the interface 3, high-temperature steam can be introduced into the steam barrel 1, thereby heating the particles. The interface 3 is located between the isolation net 2 and the bottom of the steam barrel 1. This design is to provide a uniform high-temperature steam flow from bottom to top, ensuring that each part of the particle layer can be fully heated.
[0026] During use, the operator first puts the polystyrene particles to be foamed into the steam barrel 1. Under the stable support of the isolation net 2, these particles are evenly laid to avoid uneven heating caused by aggregation. Then, the high-temperature steam supply device is turned on, and the high-temperature steam is delivered to the steam barrel through the high-temperature steam inlet interface 3. Due to the high temperature nature of the steam, the foaming agent in the particles is quickly heated and expanded, so that the polystyrene particles achieve the effect of foaming.
[0027] The foaming device of the utility model has significant advantages over the traditional water boiling foaming method. It uses high-temperature steam for heating, and has the characteristics of high temperature, fast heating, high efficiency, etc., and can complete the foaming process in a shorter time. At the same time, due to the uniformity of steam heating, the foamed polystyrene particles show better consistency in density, strength, etc., which significantly improves the product quality. In addition, the energy consumption of the device is relatively low, because it only needs to use high-temperature steam as a direct heating medium, which reduces energy waste, and the steam recycling improves energy efficiency, which is more in line with the energy conservation and emission reduction requirements of modern industrial production.
[0028] Of course, in the design of the efficient foaming device of the utility model, in order to ensure the continuity and stability of the foaming process of the polystyrene particles, a drain pipe 4 is designed at the bottom of the steam barrel 1. This is a very important functional design, because during the heating and foaming process, condensed water may be formed. If these condensed water cannot be removed in time, they may lower the temperature inside the steam barrel, affect the foaming efficiency of the high-temperature steam, and may cause uneven foaming of the particles, affecting the quality of the final product.
[0029] The presence of the drain pipe 4 ensures that the waste water is effectively discharged from the steam drum. The design of the pipe is to use gravity to promote the drainage of water, and the isolation net 2 can prevent the foaming material from entering the drainage system. The drain pipe 4 also includes a regulating valve, namely the drain valve 41, so that the operator can control the speed and time of drainage as needed to maintain the best working conditions in the steam drum.
[0030] More specifically, a detachable connection structure is provided between the isolation net 2 and the inner wall of the steam barrel 1. In the design of the high-efficiency foaming device of the utility model, the detachable connection structure of the isolation net 2 provides great convenience for equipment maintenance and operation. The design of this structure allows the isolation net 2 to be easily removed from the inside of the steam barrel 1 when necessary, thereby making it possible to replace, clean or perform other necessary maintenance work. This flexibility is crucial to ensure the long-term operation and high efficiency of the equipment.
[0031] Specifically, the annular step 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the steam barrel 1 as part of the detachable connection structure. The outer diameter of the isolation net 2 should be larger than the inner diameter of the step 5, so that when the isolation net 2 is placed, it can be firmly placed on the step 5. The advantage of this design is that it simplifies the assembly process, allowing the operator to easily install or remove the isolation net.
[0032] Since the isolation net 2 is constantly exposed to high-temperature steam and polystyrene particles during the foaming process, it may accumulate residual substances or wear out over time. Therefore, the detachable design allows regular cleaning and quick replacement when necessary, which not only extends the service life of the isolation net itself, but also ensures that each foaming process can be carried out under optimal conditions, thereby maintaining the consistency of the quality of the foamed product.
[0033] In order to further improve the operational performance and safety of the high-efficiency foaming device of the utility model, the device includes a variety of carefully designed specific components, which improve the sealing, stability and convenience of connection of the device.
[0034] First, the barrel cover 6 on the top of the steam barrel 1 is a key component, which can be installed to seal the steam barrel to prevent the escape of high-temperature steam during the foaming process, thereby improving thermal efficiency and the safety of the working environment. The barrel cover 6 is designed to be detachably connected, so that it is convenient to open when filling polystyrene particles or cleaning, and quickly close and lock during the foaming process.
[0035] Secondly, the design of the isolation net 2 also includes detail optimization. It is surrounded by an upwardly extending annular side wall plate 21. This design can effectively confine the polystyrene particles within the area of the isolation net to prevent them from shifting or falling off during the foaming process, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the heating process and the consistency of the foaming quality.
[0036] In order to provide a convenient and quick external connection, a thread 31 is designed on the high temperature steam inlet interface 3. This threaded connection makes it simple and quick to install the steam supply pipeline, ensures a stable and sealed connection with the external steam supply equipment, and reduces the installation time and potential steam leakage risk.
[0037] Finally, the utility model also takes into account the applicability of the device in different environments, and a plurality of height-adjustable support feet 7 are designed at the bottom of the steam barrel 1. These support feet can be adjusted according to the site conditions to adapt to the uneven working surface, keep the device horizontal and stable, and further ensure the safety and reliability of the foaming process.
