Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the plastic processing industry, extrusion blow molding process is widely used in the production of plastic products of various shapes and sizes. Its production process is to extrude the molten plastic through the extrusion die head, and then blow molding into the product of the required shape. The extrusion die head of the traditional extrusion blow molding machine usually adopts a straight line type runner structure, the raw material enters from the storage cavity, and is directly extruded through the material pressing device and the extrusion die. Although this runner structure is simple, in actual application, due to the limited flow guiding effect of the straight line type runner on the raw material, when the color of the plastic product needs to be switched, the residual raw material in the straight line type runner is difficult to drain, which leads to the mixing of the residual raw material with the new raw material, and further leads to the color deviation of the product.

[0003] In order to solve the problem of color deviation after color change, some manufacturers begin to try to improve the flow guiding effect of the raw material by designing more complex die head runner. By setting the complex runner to increase the tortuosity and change of the runner structure, the discharge of the residual raw material is promoted, so as to reduce the color pollution when the new and old raw materials are replaced. However, this way can improve the efficiency of raw material discharge to some extent, but the residual raw material in the complex runner is difficult to discharge in a short time, generally needs 2-3 hours, which has a great impact on the production efficiency.

Figure 1 , 2 The wall thickness control assembly 1 is arranged above the die body assembly 3, the die body assembly 3 comprises the die core 31, the core rod 32 and the die orifice 33, the die orifice 33 is arranged at the bottom of the die core 31, the core rod 32 is arranged in the die core 31, the lifting end of the wall thickness control assembly 1 is connected with the core rod 32, a plurality of groups of runner structures are arranged in the die core 31 in a circumferential direction, the feeding assembly 2 is communicated with the first ends of the groups of runner structures, the last ends of the groups of runner structures are communicated with the die orifice 33, and the runner structure is in a reverse Y shape.

[0027] Compared with the traditional linear runner, the reverse Y-shaped runner structure increases the flow path and changes of the raw material, so that the residual raw material is more easily flushed clean by the new raw material, and the color deviation phenomenon is avoided; compared with the complex runner, the residual old raw material can be discharged more quickly, so that the time required for color changing is greatly shortened, the production efficiency is improved, and the production stop caused by color changing is reduced. In the actual color changing process, the color changing time is shortened to 30 minutes, there is no residual color in the material blank convergence part, and there is no color mixing; and the extrusion pressures of the material blanks are balanced, so that the lengths of the material blanks are consistent. The wall thickness control assembly 1 is a prior art, which is used for adjusting the position of the core rod 32 according to different production requirements, so as to control the wall thickness of the plastic product.

[0028] Preferably, referring to the accompanying drawings, Figures 3-5The flow channel structure comprises a vertically arranged main flow channel 3122 and two obliquely arranged branch flow channels 3123. The first ends of the two branch flow channels 3123 are connected to the end of the main flow channel 3122, and the branch flow channels 3123 extend along the left and right sides of the main flow channel 3122 to form an inverted Y-shaped structure.

[0029] The vertically linear main flow channel 3122 ensures stable flow of the raw material when the raw material enters the mold assembly 3 from the feeding assembly 2, reduces the complexity of the flow channel structure, and shortens the time for removing the residual raw material during color changing. The two obliquely arranged branch flow channels 3123 are connected to the end of the main flow channel 3122 and extend along the left and right sides to form an inverted Y-shaped structure, which increases the tortuosity of the flow channel and promotes the discharge of residual raw material. Thus, the inverted Y-shaped flow channel structure formed by the connection of the main flow channel 3122 and the two branch flow channels 3123 can make the old raw material be flushed out of the flow channel by the new raw material more quickly, greatly shortening the time required for color changing.
