Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiberglass processing technology, specifically a resin impregnation tank for fiberglass tank production. Background Technology
[0002] Fiberglass tanks are non-metallic composite material tanks made of resin and glass fiber wound together using a microcomputer-controlled machine. They possess advantages such as corrosion resistance, high strength, long service life, flexible design, and strong processability. These characteristics have led to their widespread use in industries such as chemical, environmental protection, food, pharmaceutical, and printing and dyeing, gradually replacing carbon steel and stainless steel in most market sectors. The raw materials used in the production of fiberglass tanks are glass fiber yarn, epoxy resin, and a curing agent. Typically, the glass fiber yarn is passed through a resin tank for resin impregnation and then wound onto a fiberglass tank processing mold, ultimately curing to form the fiberglass tank. Existing resin impregnation tanks are typically simple tanks that can move on tracks. Epoxy resin and curing agent need to be pre-mixed before being poured into the impregnation tank, which cannot ensure the uniformity of epoxy resin impregnation during fiberglass yarn impregnation. Furthermore, during the impregnation process, multiple fiberglass yarns can become entangled, leading to insufficient resin impregnation in some areas and affecting product quality. Due to the presence of the curing agent, the epoxy resin will gradually harden over time, requiring strict control over the amount of raw materials used during preparation. Over-preparation results in material waste, a problem that traditional methods clearly cannot overcome. Therefore, there is a need to develop a resin impregnation tank for fiberglass tank production that can maintain uniform epoxy resin distribution and ensure sufficient impregnation of fiberglass yarn.

[0005] Furthermore, mounting plates are fixedly connected to the upper parts of both sides of the immersion tank, and telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the mounting plates.

[0016] like Figure 1 The resin impregnation tank for producing fiberglass tanks shown includes an impregnation tank 1. A support leg 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the impregnation tank 1, and a caster wheel 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support leg 2. The fiberglass tank production equipment is equipped with a matching guide rail. The caster wheel 3 is rotatably mounted on the guide rail, which has a guide groove. The lower part of the caster wheel 3 is rotatably embedded in the guide groove. A stirring motor 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the impregnation tank 1 via a connecting frame and bolts. The output shaft of the stirring motor 4 extends upward through the impregnation tank 1 into its interior and is fixedly connected to the bottom of a pulsator turntable 5. Fixed supports are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the impregnation tank 1. The fixed plate 10 has a first raw material box 12 fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 10 via a weighing module 11, and a second raw material box 13 fixedly connected to the other side of the fixed plate 10 via a weighing module 11. Both the first raw material box 12 and the second raw material box 13 have a discharge pipe 15 fixedly connected to their inner sides, extending into the impregnation tank 1. A solenoid valve 16 is connected to the discharge pipe 15. A dividing roller 6 is rotatably connected to the impregnation tank 1 via a bearing. Several wire grooves 7 are spaced apart on the dividing roller 6. The weighing module 11 is communicatively connected to the controller. The solenoid valve 16 and the stirring motor 4 are both controlled by the controller.
[0017] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a drive motor is also provided to drive the moving wheel 3 to rotate. In order to facilitate centralized control, the drive motor is controlled by the controller. The bottom of the first raw material box 12 and the second raw material box 13 are inclined downwards towards the discharge pipe 15. The impeller turntable 5 is an existing component, and its specific structure will not be described in detail in this article.
[0018] To use different liquid levels, the dividing roller 6 is driven to rise and fall. Mounting plates 19 are fixedly connected to the upper part of both sides of the inner wall of the immersion tank 1. Telescopic rods 9 are fixedly connected to the mounting plates 19 by bolts. The output end of the telescopic rod 9 passes through the mounting plate 19 downward and is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 8. The two ends of the dividing roller 6 are rotatably connected to the rotating frame 8 through bearings. The telescopic rod 9 is controlled by the controller.
[0019] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in order to simplify the structure and make it easy to use, the telescopic rod 9 is an electric telescopic rod; at the same time, the telescopic rod 9 can also be a hydraulic telescopic rod or a pneumatic telescopic rod. When a hydraulic telescopic rod or a pneumatic telescopic rod is used, a corresponding hydraulic source or air pressure source is required.
[0020] In order to make the resin impregnated in the glass fiber yarn more uniform, support frames 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the impregnation tank 1, and a brush roller 18 is rotatably connected between the two support frames 17 through a bearing.
[0021] In order to maintain a relatively stable temperature, the outside of the immersion tank 1 is connected to a jacket, and the jacket is filled with heat insulation cotton.
[0022] To facilitate observation of the material quantity in the first raw material box 12 and the second raw material box 13, a transparent observation window is provided on one side of both the first raw material box 12 and the second raw material box 13.
[0023] To facilitate material feeding, the first raw material box 12 and the second raw material box 13 are provided with feeding ports at the top. To prevent debris from falling in, end caps are detachably connected to the feeding ports.
[0024] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0025] During the production of fiberglass tanks, epoxy resin and curing agent are first added to the first raw material tank 12 and the second raw material tank 13 through the feeding port, respectively. Then, according to the production situation, the amount of material added at one time is set in the controller. The controller controls the solenoid valve 16 to open for material feeding. The weighing module 11 weighs the materials in the first raw material tank 12 and the second raw material tank 13 in real time. When the amount of epoxy resin and curing agent added reaches the set value, the solenoid valve 16 is closed. The stirring motor 4 is started and runs. The stirring motor 4 drives the impeller turntable 5 to continuously stir the raw materials in the impregnation tank 1. After stirring for a period of time, the fiberglass yarn is passed through the guide groove 7, then around the brush roller 18 and fixed to the fiberglass tank production mold. During the production process, the height of the dividing roller 6 is adjusted by controlling the operation of the telescopic rod 9 according to the resin liquid level, so that the fiberglass yarn can fully contact the epoxy resin. The fiberglass tank production mold is started and runs continuously, pulling the fiberglass yarn to process the fiberglass tank.
