Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of polyester foaming, in particular to a thermoplastic polyester foaming molding device. Background Art

[0002] Thermoplastic polyester foam has the advantages of good dimensional stability at high temperature, excellent mechanical properties and fatigue resistance, low smoke, flame retardancy, non-toxicity, low water absorption, good gas barrier properties and recyclability, and has broad application prospects in wind power generation, rail transportation, automotive industry and other fields. However, thermoplastic polyester has low melt viscosity, poor thermal stability, easy to absorb moisture and thermal degradation and hydrolysis, especially hydrolysis, which will cause a sharp drop in polyester molecular weight;

[0003] In order to overcome the disadvantage of thermoplastic polyester being easily hydrolyzed at high temperature, pre-drying technology is usually used to remove moisture from polyester chips. Pre-drying is commonly used in three forms: vacuum drum drying, rotary filling combined drying and fluidized bed. Continuous airflow drying is commonly used. The drying process is 140℃, 3-4h, and after drying, it must be kept warm at 100-110℃ or placed in a dry and sealed container for standby use. The feeding hopper must also be irradiated with infrared rays to maintain a dry state, or a N2-protected feeding device must be used. This pre-drying process has complex equipment, a long drying process, low efficiency and high energy consumption.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN203031914U discloses a PET twin-screw sheet extrusion device that does not require crystallization and drying, including a feeding device, a screw extruder and a sheet extrusion device, wherein the screw extruder is a co-directional parallel twin-screw extruder, on which a plurality of vacuum pumping devices are configured. In order to improve the dehydration efficiency, the vacuum absolute pressure provided by the vacuum pumping device of the patented technical solution is ≤0.5mbar, and the degassing capacity is greater than 1000l / s. This technical solution lacks adaptability for the need to add a variety of low-molecular additive components during the polyester reaction extrusion foaming process. Excessive vacuum and degassing will cause low-molecular additives (chain extenders, plasticizers, etc.) to be vacuum-extracted, thereby reducing the efficiency of the chain extension reaction, and the viscoelasticity of the polyester melt cannot meet the foaming requirements, and the integrated production of PET drying-free reaction extrusion foaming cannot be achieved.

[0005] US utility model patent US5958164 discloses a thermoplastic polyester foaming method, comprising: directly adding polyester and additives into a first-stage twin-screw extruder, removing moisture adsorbed by the polyester through a vacuum exhaust section on the twin-screw extruder, and then injecting a foaming agent, foaming in a downstream low-pressure zone to obtain a PET foamed product, in particular, adding fluoroplastics to the polyester, and the vacuum degassing pressure is lower than 20 Torr (2666 Pa). In this technical solution, the foaming agent (such as butane) is injected from a second-stage single-screw extruder, and the diameter of the single screw is equal to the diameter of the twin screw. In order to fully mix the foaming agent with the PET melt, the single screw has a high speed, and high shear heat is easily generated during processing. The temperature of the PET melt cannot be accurately controlled, resulting in an unstable extrusion process and low head pressure, and it is difficult to obtain a foaming density lower than 200 kg / m 3 And the thickness of PET foam board is greater than 30mm.

[0006] Chinese utility model patent CN 109435194 discloses a device for thermoplastic polyester foaming, comprising a twin-screw extruder, a melt pump, a single-screw extruder, a static mixer, a foaming die head and a forming and shaping device. The length-to-diameter ratio of the twin screws of the twin-screw extruder is between 35 and 45, and a natural exhaust port and at least one vacuum exhaust port are provided on the barrel of the twin-screw extruder. However, due to the limited blending shear force that the twin-screw extruder can provide, the radial or lateral blending effect of the thermoplastic material is not good in a short time. In a short time, the moisture in the thermoplastic material cannot be quickly and completely removed, and the drying level of the thermoplastic material does not meet the requirements, so it is difficult to obtain a foamed polyester material with performance that meets the standards.
