Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a pneumatic tube extrusion mechanism, belonging to the technical field of pneumatic tube production equipment. Background Art
[0002] Pneumatic tubes are flexible tubing widely used in industries such as industrial automation, automotive, and medical equipment. Traditional pneumatic tube production methods typically include extrusion, drawing, and winding. Extrusion is a key step in the entire production process, directly impacting the quality, production efficiency, and cost of pneumatic tubes. Traditional extrusion mechanisms often lack efficient management of raw material delivery, which can lead to problems such as blockage, stratification, and air intrusion during transportation. These issues negatively impact the quality of the final product. A search revealed that Chinese patent publication number CN211307325U discloses a pneumatic tube extrusion mechanism. In this patent, the extrusion material is placed in an extrusion tube body and heated until it reaches the desired extrusion temperature. A drive motor is then activated, rotating the rotary shaft, which in turn drives the extrusion screw. The extrusion screw propels the heated and softened material forward and out through the extrusion port of the outer tube. A guide plate guides the extruded material smoothly toward the outer tube, where it forms the desired tubular product through the inner cavity of the outer tube. Furthermore, the collinear arrangement of the inner rod, connecting rod, and rotary shaft ensures linearity and stability during the extrusion process. However, in this patent, the raw materials are directly transported into the pipe body and kept warm by the heating pipe. The stirring operation and the extrusion operation before the raw materials are put into the pipe body are carried out separately, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0033] The driving mechanism is adapted to drive the rotating shaft 212 to rotate so that the extrusion screw rotates in the extrusion cavity 211 to push the raw material in the extrusion cavity 211 forward and extrude it from the extrusion die 22;
[0034] The extruded pneumatic tube is pulled by an external winding device and wound.
[0035] In this embodiment, the extrusion die 22 can refer to a similar structure disclosed in a plastic extrusion die disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN218171310U. The extrusion die 22 is suitable for extruding the raw material into the shape of the pneumatic tube required for production. This embodiment does not elaborate on its implementation principle and actual structure.
[0036] Specifically, if Figure 1-4 As shown, a feed hopper 213 is provided at the feed port of the extrusion tube, and the feed hopper 213 is provided with a feed slope suitable for guiding the raw materials into the extrusion cavity 211.
[0037] Specifically, a solenoid valve suitable for controlling the opening and closing of the first discharge port 32 is provided at the first discharge port 32 .
[0038] In this embodiment, the solenoid valve is controlled by an external control device. When the solenoid valve is opened, the raw material flows into the feed port of the extrusion tube through the first discharge port 32 and enters the extrusion cavity 211 along the feed slope of the feed hopper 213.
[0039] Specifically, if Figure 1-4As shown, a cover plate 311 is hinged at the first feed port 31, and a handle 312 for easy gripping is provided on the cover plate 311. The setting of the cover plate 311 can prevent dust or other impurities from entering the mixing silo 3 and keep the raw materials clean. The handle 312 makes it more convenient to open and close the cover plate 311, which is convenient for operators to add or clean raw materials.

The synchronization belt 55 is suitable for connecting the main synchronization wheel 53 and the slave synchronization wheel 54.
[0043] In this embodiment, the driving gear and the driven gear are bevel gears. The driving motor 51 drives the main synchronous wheel 53 to rotate counterclockwise, and drives the slave synchronous wheel 54 to rotate counterclockwise through the synchronous belt 55. Since the slave synchronous wheel 54 and the driving gear are coaxially arranged, the driving gear also rotates counterclockwise. The driving gear is engaged with the driven gear, and the driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate clockwise to drive the extrusion screw to rotate and move the raw material forward.
[0044] Specifically, if Figure 1-4 As shown, the pneumatic tube extrusion mechanism further includes a cutting mechanism, which includes a cutting cylinder 61, a cutting bracket 62 and a cutting knife 63. The cutting cylinder 61 is mounted on the cutting bracket 62, and the cutting bracket 62 is mounted on the frame 1. The cutting knife 63 is connected to the movable end of the cutting cylinder 61.
[0045] The cutting cylinder 61 is suitable for driving the cutting knife 63 downward to cut the pneumatic tube extruded by the extrusion die 22.
