Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of foaming equipment, in particular to a polylactic acid and wood fiber foaming equipment. Background Art

[0002] Polylactic acid (PLA) is a polymer derived from lactic acid, a readily available and renewable raw material. The production process is pollution-free, and the product is biodegradable, allowing for recycling in nature. Therefore, it is an ideal green polymer material. When foaming polylactic acid with wood fiber, a blowing agent is required.

At the same time, the overall structure is relatively simple and very convenient to use, which improves the working efficiency of the device. The foaming agent can be poured into the tank body through the feed hopper, and the second motor can be started to drive the stirring roller to rotate. The rotation of the stirring roller can drive the stirring blade to rotate, and the rotation of the stirring blade can stir and mix the foaming agent.

[0004] In this patent, the vertical movement of the cleaning ring can scrape off the foaming agent attached to the inner wall of the tank body. However, during the foaming agent mixing process, the foaming agent will also adhere to the bottom wall of the tank body. This patent makes it difficult to remove the foaming agent attached to the bottom wall of the tank body, thereby reducing the tank cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

A high-pressure nozzle 7 is rotatably connected to the avoidance port 6 through a pin shaft, and a plurality of electric push rods 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the scraper ring 5, and the output ends of the plurality of electric push rods 8 are fixedly connected to a moving ring 9. A plurality of connecting rods 10 are hinged at the bottom of the moving ring 9, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 10 is hinged to the corresponding high-pressure nozzle 7. A spraying part 11 is provided above the high-pressure nozzle 7, and an adjusting part 12 is provided on the upper half of the shell 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the foaming agent enters the housing 1 through a feed pipe 4. Initially, the first valve 3 is closed. A discharge pipe is fixedly installed in the lower half of one side of the housing 1. A second valve is fixedly mounted on the outer periphery of the discharge pipe. The end of the discharge pipe away from the housing 1 is connected to the foaming device body. Initially, the second valve is closed. Once the foaming agent is mixed, the second valve opens, allowing the foaming agent to enter the foaming device body through the discharge pipe, thereby producing a microcellular foamed plastic product. The foaming agent contains polylactic acid and wood fiber material.

[0026] After the foaming agent is fully discharged from the shell 1 , the second valve is closed, the first valve 3 is opened, and the inner wall of the shell 1 is cleaned through the spraying part 11 and the regulating part 12 .

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting portion 12 includes an outer gear ring 121 rotatably connected to the top of the shell 1, and a plurality of screw sleeves 122 are rotatably penetrated on the upper half of the shell 1. The lower half of the screw sleeve 122 is threadedly connected to a screw rod 123, and the bottom end of the screw rod 123 is fixedly connected to the top of the scraper ring 5. A driven gear 124 is fixedly sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the screw sleeve 122, and the plurality of driven gears 124 are all engaged with the outer gear ring 121. A driving member 125 is provided on the top of the shell 1, and the driving member 125 drives the outer gear ring 121 to rotate.

[0028] The driving member 125 includes a motor 1 fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1 , and an output end of the motor 1 is transmission-connected to a driving gear, which is meshed with the outer gear ring 121 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the motor drives the driving gear to rotate, the driving gear drives the outer ring gear 121 to rotate, the outer ring gear 121 drives a number of driven gears 124 to rotate, the driven gear 124 drives the screw sleeve 122 to rotate, the rotation of the screw sleeve 122 drives the screw 123 to move downward, thereby driving the scraper ring 5 to move downward, and the scraper ring 5 drives the high-pressure nozzle 7, the electric push rod 8 and the moving ring 9 to move downward synchronously.

[0030] The spraying unit 11 operates to cause the high-pressure nozzle 7 to spray water toward the inner circumference of the shell 1. The driving member 125 operates to drive the high-pressure nozzle 7 and the scraper ring 5 downward. The scraper ring 5 can scrape off the foaming agent attached to the inner circumference of the shell 1, thereby cleaning the inner circumference of the shell 1. The wastewater and the scraped foaming agent are discharged from the shell 1 through the slag discharge pipe 2.

[0031] When the scraper ring 5 moves close to the inner bottom wall of the shell 1, the driving member 125 stops, the electric push rod 8 works, driving the moving ring 9 to move upward, the moving ring 9 drives the connecting rod 10 to move, and the connecting rod 10 drives the high-pressure nozzle 7 to rotate, so that the injection position of the high-pressure nozzle 7 moves to the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 and gradually moves toward the slag discharge pipe 2, flushing the foaming agent attached to the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 and discharging it from the shell 1 through the slag discharge pipe 2. Finally, the water pump 112 stops, the motor rotates in the reverse direction, driving the scraper ring 5 to move to the initial position, and the electric push rod 8 moves in the reverse direction to drive the high-pressure nozzle 7 to return to its initial state.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the spraying portion 11 includes a water tank 111 fixedly connected to the top of the shell 1, a water pump 112 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the shell 1, the input end of the water pump 112 is communicated with the water tank 111, an annular cavity 113 is opened in the moving ring 9, the output end of the water pump 112 is communicated with the annular cavity 113 through a hose, and the lower half of the annular cavity 113 is connected to several high-pressure nozzles 7 through a hose.

[0033] In this embodiment, the water pump 112 operates to transfer water from the water tank 111 to the annular cavity 113, and then the water is sprayed out through the various high-pressure nozzles 7. Because the pipe between the water pump 112 and the movement ring 9 is a hose, the movement ring 9 can move vertically relative to the water pump 112. Because the pipe between the movement ring 9 and the high-pressure nozzles 7 is a hose, the high-pressure nozzles 7 can rotate relative to the movement ring 9.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, a motor 2 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the shell 1, and a rotating rod 14 is transmission-connected to the output end of the motor 2 13. The rotating rod 14 rotates through the top wall of the shell 1 and extends into the shell 1. The outer peripheral surface of the rotating rod 14 is located inside the shell 1 and is fixedly sleeved with several stirring rods 15. The stirring rods 15 are located below the feed pipe 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, the motor 2 13 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate, and the rotating rod 14 drives the stirring rod 15 to rotate, thereby stirring the raw materials entering the housing 1. The scraper ring 5 and the moving ring 9 will not contact the rotating rod 14 during the downward movement.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 is arranged to be inclined downward on the side close to the slag discharge pipe 2 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the sewage falling onto the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 and the scraped and washed foaming agent residues can fully move toward the slag discharge pipe 2 under the action of gravity and be discharged through the slag discharge pipe 2.

[0038] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is:

[0039] In the initial state, the first valve 3 and the second valve are both closed, and raw materials are added to the shell 1 through the feed pipe 4. The motor 2 13 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod 14 drives the stirring rod 15 to rotate, thereby stirring the raw materials entering the shell 1.

[0040] When the foaming agent is stirred, the second valve is opened, and the foaming agent enters the foaming equipment body through the discharge pipe, thereby producing microporous foamed plastic products.

[0041] After the foaming agent has been fully discharged from the housing 1, the second valve is closed and the first valve 3 is opened. The driving member 125 rotates the outer ring gear 121, which in turn rotates the plurality of driven gears 124. The driven gears 124 rotate the screw sleeve 122, which in turn rotates the screw sleeve 122, which in turn drives the screw 123 downward, thereby driving the scraper ring 5 downward. The scraper ring 5 then drives the high-pressure nozzle 7, the electric push rod 8, and the moving ring 9 to move downward synchronously. At the same time, the water pump 112 operates, transferring water from the water tank 111 into the annular cavity 113, where it is then sprayed through the various high-pressure nozzles 7 onto the inner circumference of the housing 1. With the cooperation of the high-pressure nozzles 7 and the scraper ring 5, the foaming agent adhering to the inner wall of the housing 1 is scraped off.

[0042] When the scraper ring 5 moves close to the inner bottom wall of the shell 1, the driving part 125 stops, the electric push rod 8 works, and drives the moving ring 9 to move upward. The moving ring 9 drives the connecting rod 10 to move, and the connecting rod 10 drives the high-pressure nozzle 7 to rotate, so that the injection position of the high-pressure nozzle 7 moves to the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 and gradually moves toward the slag discharge pipe 2, flushing down the foaming agent attached to the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 and discharging it from the shell 1 through the slag discharge pipe 2.

[0043] Finally, the water pump 112 stops, the motor rotates in the reverse direction, driving the scraper ring 5 to move to the initial position, the electric push rod 8 moves in the reverse direction to drive the high-pressure nozzle 7 to return to the initial state, and the first valve 3 is closed. At this time, the foaming agent raw material can continue to be added to the shell 1, and the above steps are repeated.

[0044] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
