Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fiber-reinforced material manufacturing equipment, and in particular relates to a production device for long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite materials. Background Technology

[0002] Long-fiber reinforced thermoplastic (LFT) is a type of thermoplastic characterized by its designability, low density, high specific strength, high specific modulus, and high impact resistance. The emergence of LFT thermoplastics has posed a significant challenge to aluminum alloys and fiber-reinforced thermosetting composites, and LFT thermoplastics are gradually becoming the mainstream material for manufacturing automotive parts.

At the same time, it is not convenient to stir the materials, and some dried and clumped materials are not easy to separate. Furthermore, the residual heat after the long fibers are processed may burn the workers. Therefore, we propose a production device for long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials.

[0008] Furthermore, a number of fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main body of the production machine, a fixing plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing blocks, and bolts are slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate.

[0009] The above technical solution allows for the replacement and maintenance of rollers by loosening the bolts, making it convenient for users to install or disassemble the equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, a roller is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bolt, a nut is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the end of the bolt away from the roller, a spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate, and the outer wall of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the spring can tighten the roller, keep it in close contact with the long fiber at all times, and fix long fibers of different sizes.

[0012] Furthermore, a number of heating plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body of the production machine, and an installation hole is opened on the outer wall of the main body of the production machine near the fixed block, and a fan is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation hole.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the long fibers will be baked and solidified when passing through the heating plate, and the fan can cool down the long fibers to prevent the user from being burned by excessive residual heat.

[0014] Furthermore, a drive shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the motor via a coupling, and several pulleys are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive shaft. Several stirring blades are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of the drive shaft away from the pulleys.

[0015] The above technical solution uses the rotating agitator blades to disrupt the materials inside the discharge box, thus homogenizing the materials.

[0016] Furthermore, a second belt is driven to the outer wall of the inner pulley, a belt is driven to the outer wall of the outer pulley, and a second pulley is driven to the inner wall of the end of the second belt away from the pulley.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the rotation of belt two drives the rotation of belt pulley, and the rotation of belt pulley drives the rotation of belt pulley two.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. This utility model features a feeding box. When the equipment is needed, the user injects the material into the feeding box. The filter plate can separate the clumps of material, and long fibers are inserted into the device from the left side opening. The rollers ensure that the long fibers enter the device in a straight line. At the same time, long fibers of different sizes can be fixed, which can adjust the long fibers and prevent them from getting tangled in the device. The long fibers can also be automatically transported into the device without manual operation, reducing the user's operating pressure.

[0024] 2. This utility model incorporates a second belt. During operation, the rotation of the second belt drives the rotation of the second pulley, which in turn rotates multiple transmission wheels. The rotation of these transmission wheels automatically feeds the long fibers into the device. The rotation of the belt drives the rotation of the second fixed shaft, which in turn drives the rotation of the third gear, causing the entire device to rotate and generating airflow. The material drips from the outlet onto the surface of the long fibers, thus achieving the goal of stirring the material and preventing uneven material distribution that could lead to low work efficiency. It also filters out dried and clump-forming materials and allows for cooling after the long fibers have solidified, preventing burns from excessive residual heat.

[0025] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
