The typical type of plastic processing machine, such as the one widely used in PE product production lines, is the hollow blow molding machine.

[0003] Generally, a hollow blow molding machine includes an extrusion unit, a mold and a blowing unit. The extrusion unit extrude thermoplastic resin into the mold in the form of a tubular plastic preform, and then the blowing unit blows air into the plastic preform to make it fit tightly against the mold to obtain a bottle-shaped product. The extrusion unit and the blowing unit work together to mass-produce products.

The air source supplies air to one of the air flow openings so that the gas enters the plastic preform to be blown through the other air flow opening for blow molding. After the blow molding is completed and the product is formed, the blow molding overflow gas in the product returns to the original path.

[0007] However, sometimes users hope that the gas will not return to the original path. When there is dirt such as oil in the product, the gas returning to the original path will carry the dirt into the gas guide structure, and the dirt in the gas guide structure is usually difficult to clean.

[0032] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application discloses an air guide structure of a hollow blow molding machine, which is used to discharge and collect dirt in a product.

[0035] The flow channel 11 is used to allow air to enter the plastic mold, and the flow channel 2 12 is used to allow the gas in the plastic mold to be discharged. The air intake and exhaust are performed in different flow channels.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 In order to ensure the normal blow molding of the plastic preform, the flow channel 12 is provided with an opening and closing component 2 and a pressure detection component 3. The opening and closing component 2 is a valve, and the pressure detection component 3 is a pressure sensor. The connecting block 1 is provided with a control module. The control module controls the opening and closing component 2 to open or close the flow channel 12 in response to the detection signal of the pressure detection component 3.

[0037] When the gas source supplies gas to the flow channel 11, the gas enters the plastic mold to perform blow molding, and the opening and closing member 2 is in a normally closed state;

[0038] After the product is formed by blow molding, the air pressure in the flow channel 2 12 connected to the inside of the product will gradually increase. When the air pressure rises to a certain value, the pressure sensor sends a signal to the control module, and the control module controls the opening and closing part 2 to open the flow channel 2 12. The gas inside the product will reach the external environment through the flow channel 2 12, and the dirt that may exist inside the product will also be carried by the gas and flow out through the flow channel 2 12.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 In order to facilitate the collection of blown dirt, a collection groove 13 is provided at the upper end of the connection block 1. The port through which the flow channel 12 communicates with the external environment is an air outlet 121. The air outlet 121 is located on the inner bottom surface of the collection groove 13. Specifically, the inner bottom surface of the collection groove 13 is inclined downward from the air outlet 121 to the outer circumference. A blocking net 4 is provided on the notch of the collection groove 13 to prevent dirt from being blown out of the collection groove 13.

[0040] Therefore, the dirt carried by the gas will hit the baffle 4 through the gas outlet 121, and then the dirt will fall into the collection tank 13 and be collected. Liquid dirt such as oil may also hit and adhere to the baffle 4 and flow into the collection tank 13.

[0041] Reference Figure 1In order to facilitate opening the retaining net 4 to clean the collecting tank 13, a mounting seat 5 is provided on the connecting block 1, and the retaining net 4 is connected to the mounting seat 5 and the retaining net 4 and the mounting seat 5 are rotatably connected; Figure 3 The blocking net 4 is provided with a clamping member 6, and the connecting block 1 is provided with a deformable clamping member 7, the material of the clamping member 7 is plastic, and the clamping member 6 is clamped in the clamping member 7. Specifically, the clamping member 6 includes a clamping pin 61 at the right end, and the clamping pin 7 includes a clamping hole 71 formed on the upper end, and the clamping pin 61 can be clamped into the clamping hole 71 and the clamping pin 61 can also be separated from the clamping hole 71.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 A clay layer 8 is also provided on the inner wall of the second flow channel 12. The clay layer 8 can absorb sound to prevent loud noise during exhaust. The clay layer 8 is usually wear-resistant, temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant.

[0043] The implementation principle of the air guide structure of a hollow blow molding machine in the embodiment of the present application is:

[0044] First, ensure that the opening and closing member 2 closes the flow channel 2 12, and the air source supplies air to the flow channel 1 11, and the gas enters the plastic mold for blow molding; after the blow molding is completed and the product is formed, the air pressure in the flow channel 2 12 connected to the inside of the product gradually increases. When the air pressure rises to a certain value, the pressure sensor sends a signal to the control module, and the control module controls the opening and closing member 2 to open. The gas inside the product will reach the external environment through the flow channel 2 12, and the dirt that may exist inside the product will be carried by the gas through the flow channel 2 12 and flow out.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
