The various embodiments listed in the present utility model are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Any obvious modification or change made to the present utility model does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present utility model.
[0019] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, a PU head for externally adding fine powder to generate foam includes a mixing chamber 200 and a hopper-shaped material bucket 100 for storing fine powder. A feeding mechanism 300 and at least one needle valve part 400 are provided on the side wall of the mixing chamber 200. The feeding mechanism 300 includes a feeding housing 310, a feeding port 320, a discharging port 330 and a fine powder feeding component. One end of the feeding housing 310 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mixing chamber 200, and the inside of the feeding housing 310 is communicated with the inside of the mixing chamber 200 through the discharging port 330; the top of the arc of the feeding housing 310 is provided with the feeding port 320, and the feeding port 320 is communicated with the bottom of the hopper-shaped material bucket 100; the fine powder feeding component is arranged inside the feeding housing 310, and one end of the fine powder feeding component is in a corresponding state with the discharging port 330; the fine powder feeding component is used to push the fine powder falling into the inside of the feeding housing 310 into the inside of the mixing chamber 200; the needle valve part 400 is arranged on one side wall of the mixing chamber 200, and the needle valve part 400 is used to extrude the PU liquid material into the inside of the mixing chamber 200 in a multi-component manner.
[0020] In the actual use process of the embodiment of the present utility model, the fine powder stored in the hopper-shaped material bucket 100 falls into the inside of the feeding housing 310 through the feeding port 320. Under the transportation of the fine powder feeding component, the fine powder enters the inside of the mixing chamber 200 through the discharging port 330. At the same time, the needle valve part 400 introduces the PU liquid material into the inside of the mixing chamber 200, and the fine powder material is mixed with the PU liquid material. And under the extrusion action of the needle valve part 400, the mixture in the mixing chamber 200 is ejected from the end; thus, the problem of fine powder accumulation in the traditional head can be solved, and the reduction of the feeding amount and the influence on the product quality are avoided; among them, the needle valve part 400 is driven by an externally connected cylinder, and the PU liquid material is stored in the material cylinder. This needle valve belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0021] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 - 3As shown, a feeding motor 500 is provided at the end of the feeding housing 310 away from the mixing chamber 200. The fine powder feeding component includes a feeding screw rod 350. One end of the feeding screw rod 350 corresponds to the discharge port 330, and the other end of the feeding screw rod 350 is rotatably connected to the end of the feeding housing 310. A pulley portion 370 is provided at the end of the feeding screw rod 350 away from the mixing chamber 200, and the pulley portion 370 is connected to the output end of the feeding motor 500 by a belt. In the actual application process of the embodiment of the present invention, the fine powder material entering the feeding housing 310 through the feeding port 320 is located between the feeding screw rod 350 and the inner wall of the feeding housing 310. The feeding motor 500 drives the feeding screw rod 350 to rotate through the transmission of the belt and the pulley portion 370. The spiral on the rotating feeding screw rod 350 pushes the fine powder material towards the feeding port 320 and enters the interior of the mixing chamber 200 through the feeding port 320.
[0022] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, the feeding screw rod 350 is hollow, and a central push rod 340 capable of axially moving relative to it is provided inside the feeding screw rod 350. A pushing portion is provided at the end of the central push rod 340 facing the discharge port 330. A mounting sleeve 380 is installed at the end of the central push rod 340 away from the discharge port 330, and the mounting sleeve 380 is connected to the step of the inner cavity of the feeding screw rod 350 by a spring member 390. A pushing cylinder 360 is further provided at the end of the feeding housing 310 away from the mixing chamber 200, and the telescopic end of the pushing cylinder 360 corresponds to the end of the central push rod 340 away from the discharge port 330. In the actual application process of the embodiment of the present invention, after the spiral on the feeding screw rod 350 pushes the fine powder material into the interior of the mixing chamber 200, the central push rod 340 is pushed by the pushing cylinder 360, and the pushing portion at its end pushes the fine powder material remaining at the discharge port 330 to prevent the fine powder material from accumulating at the discharge port 330. The pushing cylinder 360 resets, and the central push rod 340 resets under the action of the spring member 390 and waits for the next action.
[0023] In one embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, a feeding and mixing component is further disposed inside the mixing chamber 200. The feeding and mixing component includes a central shaft rod 210, stirring vanes 220, and a feeding spiral vane 230. The central shaft rod 210 is rotatably disposed along the axial direction of the mixing chamber 200. Both the stirring vanes 220 and the feeding spiral vane 230 are disposed on the outer wall of the central shaft rod 210. The stirring vanes 220 stir the fine powder material and the PU liquid material by rotation, and the spiral on the feeding spiral vane 230 pushes the mixed material composed of the fine powder material and the PU liquid material towards the port of the central shaft rod 210. In the actual application process of the embodiment of the present utility model, after the fine powder material and the PU liquid material enter the inside of the mixing chamber 200, the central shaft rod 210 rotates under the action of an external motor. The rotating stirring vanes 220 stir the fine powder material and the PU liquid material and make the two mix with each other. The mixed material flows out through the port of the mixing chamber 200 under the spiral push of the feeding spiral vane 230.
[0024] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the positions where the needle valve portion 400 is connected to the outer wall of the mixing chamber 200 and the position of the discharge port 330 are both correspondingly arranged relative to the stirring vanes 220. In the actual application of the embodiment of the present utility model, since the connection position between the needle valve portion 400 and the outer wall of the mixing chamber 200 corresponds to the stirring vanes 220, when the PU liquid material just enters the inside of the mixing chamber 200, it is under the rotational movement of the stirring vanes 220. And the fine powder material enters the inside of the mixing chamber 200 through the discharge port 330 and is also stirred by the stirring vanes 220 at the same time, thereby facilitating the mixing of the fine powder material and the PU liquid material.
[0025] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present disclosure can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
