DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 2In this embodiment, an automatic injection mechanism for an EVA foam molding machine includes a box body 1. The top of the bottom wall of the box body 1 is provided with an anti-blocking pressurizing component 2 for transmitting EVA material, and the top of the anti-blocking pressurizing component 2 is provided with a pulley component 3 for transmitting power.

[0024] In addition, the anti-blocking pressurizing component 2 includes a vertical conveying pipe 201 fixed to the inner bottom wall of the box body 1. The top of the vertical conveying pipe 201 is rotatably connected to a driven rod 203 through a bearing. The bottom of the driven rod 203 is fixed with a spiral feeding rod 202.

The end of the driven rod 203 away from the vertical conveying pipe 201 is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the box body 1 through a bearing. The provision of the spiral feeding rod 202 can ensure the uniformity of feeding. At the same time, when a blockage occurs, the spiral feeding rod 202 will push the blockage to move downward, thereby solving the blockage problem.

[0025] It should be noted that the pulley assembly 3 is composed of a driven pulley 301, a driving pulley 302 and a conveyor belt 303. The driven pulley 301 is fixed to the outer surface of the driven rod 203, and the driving pulley 302 is fixed to the outer surface of the active rod 603. Power is transmitted between the driving pulley 302 and the driven pulley 301 through the conveyor belt 303. The pulley assembly 3 can synchronously transmit the power of the driving mechanism 6 to the anti-blocking pressurization assembly 2, thereby improving the injection efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment, the anti-blocking pressurizing component 2 cooperates with the pushing component 5 to continuously push the raw materials to the discharge port, and the synchronous movement of the anti-blocking pressurizing component 2 and the pushing component 5 is achieved through the pulley component 3, and finally cooperates with the driving mechanism 6 to realize automatic injection.

[0027] Please refer again Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 4 In order to achieve automatic injection smoothly, the pushing component 5 in this embodiment includes a support frame 502 fixed to the inner bottom wall of the box body 1, a fixed block is fixed on the top of the support frame 502, a horizontal feed pipe 501 is fixed on the top of the fixed block, and the interior of the horizontal feed pipe 501 is provided with an injection part 503 that can push the EVA material back and forth.

[0028] In addition, the injection part 503 includes a piston 5031 movably connected to the inner side of the horizontal feed pipe 501, a push rod 5032 is fixed to the right side of the piston 5031, a spring 5033 is fixed to the right side of the piston 5031 and on the outside of the push rod 5032, the side of the spring 5033 away from the piston 5031 is fixed to the horizontal feed pipe 501, the push rod 5032 passes through to the outside of the right side wall of the horizontal feed pipe 501, a baffle 5034 is fixed to the right side of the push rod 5032 and on the outside of the horizontal feed pipe 501, the spring 5033 can make the pushed out piston 5031 quickly restore, so as to facilitate the next material discharge of the solenoid valve, and the baffle 5034 can transmit the power of the cam 604.

[0029] It can be known that the driving mechanism 6 includes a servo motor 601 fixed to the top wall of the box body 1, the output shaft of the servo motor 601 is fixed with an active rod 603, the outer surface of the active rod 603 is fixed with a cam 604, the outer surface of the servo motor 601 is fixed with a controller 602, the output shaft of the servo motor 601 passes through the top wall of the box body 1, the outer surface of the active rod 603 and the bottom of the cam 604 are fixed with a limit plate, the horizontal conveying pipe 501 is fixedly connected to the vertical conveying pipe 201, the top of the horizontal conveying pipe 501 is fixedly connected to the funnel 4, the right side of the baffle 5034 is in contact with the cam 604, and the bottom of the funnel 4 is fixed with an electromagnetic valve. The communication relationship between the horizontal conveying pipe 501 and the vertical conveying pipe 201 can achieve rapid material delivery.

[0030] In this embodiment, the reciprocating motion of the piston 5031 is achieved through the cooperation of the driving mechanism 6 and the pushing assembly 5, which further promotes the smooth implementation of the automatic injection. Finally, the automatic injection is achieved through the cooperation of the controller 602 and the solenoid valve.

[0031] It can be understood that the synchronous transmission of power is achieved through the cooperation of the drive mechanism 6 and the pulley assembly 3, which enables the anti-blocking pressurizing assembly 2 and the pushing assembly 5 to run synchronously and continuously. Finally, efficient automatic injection is achieved through the drive mechanism 6, which can improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0032] The electrical components appearing in the text are all electrically connected to the controller and the power supply. The control method of the present invention is controlled by the controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field. The provision of power is also common knowledge in this field. In addition, the present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection are no longer explained in detail in the present invention.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0034] Put the EVA foam material into the funnel 4 and start the servo motor 601. At this time, the controller 602 will control the speed of the servo motor 601 and control the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve opens to allow the EVA material to enter the horizontal feeding pipe 501. When the EVA material in the horizontal feeding pipe 501 accumulates to a certain level, the solenoid valve is closed, and the servo motor 601 drives the cam 604 to rotate. During the rotation of the cam 604, the baffle 5034 is pushed, prompting the baffle 5034 to push the push rod 5032, thereby prompting the piston 5031 to move to the left. At the same time, the pulley assembly 3 transmits the motor power to the spiral feeding rod 202, prompting the spiral feeding rod 202 to rotate. At this time, the EVA material pushed by the piston 5031 will be conveyed to the bottom by the spiral feeding rod 202 and output from the discharge port. The cooperation of the spring 5033 and the cam 604 prompts the piston 5031 to reciprocate. The opening and closing of the solenoid valve is controlled by the controller 602 to realize automatic feeding. This method does not require manual continuous loading, can save labor costs, improve production efficiency, and has a long service life.
