Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second", and the like can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0025] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, "connection" can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in the drawings, the embodiments of the present application provide a hollow blow molding equipment, which comprises:

[0027] The extrusion system 100 comprises three extruders 120 and a shared extruder head 110. The hollow blow molding equipment further has a high-altitude platform 510, and the extrusion system is installed on the high-altitude platform 510, so that the extruder head 110 is at a higher position, facilitating the subsequent mechanical hand to grab the blank below. A cutter is arranged below the extruder head 110. After the mechanical hand grabs the blank, the cutter cuts the continuous blank, and the mechanical hand grabs the upper part of the segmented blank and moves forward.

[0028] Referring to Figure 3As shown, four open-close mold forming mechanisms 200 are located in front of the extruder head 110. After the blank is sent into the open-close mold forming mechanism 200, it will be blow molded and shaped in the open-close mold forming mechanism to form a hollow blow molded product. Since the blow molding process includes actions such as mold closing, mold locking, and blow molding, the operation time is relatively long. In order to maximize the matching efficiency of blow molding and extrusion, four open-close mold forming mechanisms are used in the present application. After the blank is sent into one open-close mold forming mechanism by the manipulator, the manipulator can return to the extruder head to grab the next blank after the mold closing is completed.

[0029] The four open-close mold forming mechanisms 200 are symmetrically arranged in two rows and two columns on both sides of the central axis of the hollow blow molding device. This arrangement cooperates with the structure of the displacement mechanism to take and place the blanks and products in the shortest route and most convenient displacement mechanism. See Figure 4 、 5 .

[0030] The online flash removal mechanism 300 is located in front of the plurality of open-close mold forming mechanisms 200 and can remove excess waste from the blow molded product. The online flash removal mechanism 300 is connected to the product conveying line, and the blow molded product after flash removal enters the next station through the product conveying line.

[0031] The displacement mechanism 400 is arranged above the plurality of open-close mold forming mechanisms 200 and the online flash removal mechanism 300, and is used to grab the blank extruded by the extruder head 110 and send it into each open-close mold forming mechanism 200, and to take the blow molded product from each open-close mold forming mechanism 200 and send it into the online flash removal mechanism 300.

[0032] Referring to Figure 4 , the displacement mechanism 400 includes a pair of longitudinal rails 410 extending in the front-rear direction and parallel to the central axis of the hollow blow molding device, a first transverse rail 420 slidably arranged on the pair of longitudinal rails 410 and perpendicular to the central axis, a second transverse rail 430, and a blank manipulator 440 slidably arranged on the first transverse rail 420 and a product manipulator 450 slidably arranged on the second transverse rail 430. The blank manipulator 440 and the product manipulator 450 respectively have clamping jaws 460 that can move up and down relative to the longitudinal rails and the transverse rails.

[0033] The first transverse rail 420 is close to the extruder head 110, and the blank manipulator 440 is used to send the blank into each open-close mold forming mechanism 200. The second transverse rail 430 is close to the online flash removal mechanism 300, and is used to grab the blow molded product and send it into the online flash removal mechanism 300.

[0034] Since the online flash trimming mechanism 300 is located on the central axis of the hollow blow molding equipment, the front part of the pair of longitudinal rails 410 can further be provided with a fixed third transverse rail, and a mechanical hand is used to grab and place the hollow blow molded product after flash trimming on the product conveying assembly line.

[0035] Further, the displacement mechanism 400 is located in front of the high-altitude platform 510, and the height of the clamping jaw 460 does not exceed the high-altitude platform 510.

[0036] The hollow blow molding equipment further has a hydraulic and electrical control cabinet 500, and in order to make the overall structure of the equipment compact and beautiful, the hydraulic and electrical control cabinet 500 is arranged below the high-altitude platform 510.

[0037] The hollow blow molding equipment of the present application is provided with four sets of mold opening and closing molding mechanisms 200, which are respectively provided with molding molds (A\B\C\D). In the working process, the extrusion system extrudes a plastic tube blank 0 with a suitable length and weight, and the tube blank 0 is placed into any one of the mold opening and closing molding mechanisms molding molds (A\B\C\D) through X, Y, Z three-axis space movement by the displacement mechanism embryo material mechanical hand 440, and is blow molded into a predetermined shape, thereby forming a plastic product with residual temperature and flash. Then the A\B\C\D mold cavity containing the flash is taken out by the displacement mechanism product clamp and placed into the online flash trimming mechanism P, and the flash trimming treatment is performed at this station to form the final product.

[0038] The control system of the hollow blow molding equipment of the present application is shown in Figure 5 The control system of the hollow blow molding equipment of the present application is shown in

[0041] After the digital input module transmits the signal to the PLC host station, the PLC host station issues an instruction to the servo driver ASD-B3-0721-E, ASD-B3-1043-E and the pneumatic electromagnetic valve, the servo driver ASD-B3-0721-E, ASD-B3-1043-E produced by Delta Company drives the movement of the blank manipulator and the product manipulator on the displacement mechanism, and the pneumatic electromagnetic valve can control the clamping or loosening action of the clamping jaw under the blank manipulator and the product manipulator.

[0042] The slave module is used for receiving the instruction of the PLC host station and switching in the plurality of mold opening and closing forming mechanisms, after the PLC host station selects a mold opening and closing forming mechanism, the slave module switches to the station for control, the mold opening and closing forming mechanism is driven by the hydraulic servo system to perform the mold opening and closing action, and the pneumatic electromagnetic valve cooperates to complete the blowing, exhaust and other actions. A plurality of second proximity sensors are arranged on the plurality of mold opening and closing forming mechanisms, the second proximity sensor is a TLH-275 type linear displacement sensor of Novotechnik Company, which can be used to detect the mold plate opening and closing position of the mold opening and closing forming mechanism and feed back to the analog input module, and the analog input module selects a CTH3AIS-040S1 type analog input module of a CTH300 series of Haisi Company.
