Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the equipment or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides an extrusion molding apparatus, including a frame 110, an outer mold 120, a heating component, a discharge nozzle 130, an extruded part 140, and a cooling tank 150.

[0033] An outer mold 120 is mounted on a frame 110 and has a cavity 121 and a top opening 122 and a bottom opening 123 communicating with the cavity 121. The cavity 121 is used to hold materials. A heating component is mounted on the outer mold 120 and is used to heat the cavity 121 to heat the material in the cavity 121 to a molten or softened state. A discharge nozzle 130 is located at the bottom opening 123 of the outer mold 120, and a cooling tank 150 is located below the discharge nozzle 130. One end of the forming hole 131 communicates with the bottom opening 123, and the other end away from the bottom opening 123 faces the cooling tank 150, so that the molten or softened material is shaped when discharged through the forming hole 131 and then discharged to the cooling tank 150 for cooling and shaping. An extruder 140 is movably mounted on the frame 110, and during the movement of the extruder 140, it can enter the cavity 121 through the top opening 122 to extrude the material in the cavity 121 from the forming hole 131.

[0034] It should be explained that in the actual application of the extrusion molding apparatus described above, the operator places the material (usually metal) into the mold cavity 121, and then heats the material to a molten or softened state using a heating component. Subsequently, the extruder 140 enters the mold cavity 121 through the top opening 122, extruding the material from the mold cavity 121 through the forming hole 131. The extruded material enters the cooling tank 150 to cool and solidify into a finished product. It can be understood that this extrusion molding apparatus can control the size of the finished product by controlling the diameter of the forming hole 131, thereby enabling the preparation of metal wires.

[0035] Using the extrusion molding apparatus described above, the heating component heats the metal material in the mold cavity 121 to a molten or softened state. Then, the extruder 140 enters the mold cavity 121 through the top opening 122, extruding the metal material from the mold cavity 121 through the forming hole 131 to form a metal wire. The metal wire then enters the cooling tank 150 to cool and solidify. This extrusion molding apparatus has a simple structure and operation, low equipment cost, small footprint, and is easy to arrange.

[0036] The cooling groove 150 at the bottom facilitates the cooling of the metal wire, enabling the extrusion molding device to be applied to metals with low melting points. Simultaneously, the forming hole 131 restricts the size of the metal wire, ensuring dimensional stability and high precision. Furthermore, the simple structure and ease of cleaning of this extrusion molding device make it suitable for the preparation of valuable metal wires.

[0037] It should be noted that the extruder 140 enters the mold cavity 121 through the top opening 122 and extrudes the material. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the extruder 140 is similar to that of the mold cavity 121, and their dimensions are also close, to avoid most of the material being extruded through the gap between the extruder 140 and the inner wall of the mold cavity 121. Furthermore, when the material is metal, molten or softened metal has poor fluidity. This can also be prevented by controlling the gap between the extruder 140 and the inner wall of the mold cavity 121, as well as the extrusion speed of the extruder 140.

[0038] In addition, the finished product enters the cooling tank 150 to be cooled into metal wire. The cooling tank 150 may contain coolant, and the metal wire comes into contact with the coolant to achieve cooling and shaping. The cooling tank 150 can also serve as a storage structure for the finished metal wire.

[0039] In one embodiment, the heating assembly includes a heating sleeve 161 and a heating module 162. The heating sleeve 161 is disposed on the outer side of the outer mold 120 for heating the sidewalls of the outer mold 120. The heating module 162 is connected to the discharge nozzle 130 to heat the bottom of the mold cavity 121 through the discharge nozzle 130. In this way, the material in the mold cavity 121 can be uniformly heated by the heating sleeve 161, the heating module 162, and the discharge nozzle 130; at the same time, the material discharged through the discharge nozzle 130 can also be heated by the heating module 162, preventing the molding hole 131 from becoming blocked due to material cooling.

[0040] Furthermore, the discharge nozzle 130 has a heating chamber and an inlet and an outlet communicating with the heating chamber. The inlet and outlet are located on the side of the discharge nozzle 130. The forming hole 131 penetrates the discharge nozzle 130 vertically, and the forming hole 131 is offset from the heating chamber, the inlet, and the outlet. The heating module 162 includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, both of which are connected to the discharge nozzle 130. The inlet pipe communicates with the inlet, and the outlet pipe communicates with the outlet, so that the heating medium is input into the heating chamber through the inlet pipe and the heated medium after heat exchange in the heating chamber is output through the outlet pipe.

[0041] Understandable, Figure 2 The liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe are located on the same side of the discharge nozzle 130. In order to realize the circulation of the heating medium, the heating chamber can be set in the form of a channel, and preferably a channel evenly distributed inside the discharge nozzle 130. The two ends of the channel penetrate through the side wall of the discharge nozzle 130 to form the liquid inlet and liquid outlet mentioned above.

[0042] In one embodiment, the heating assembly further includes an insulation sleeve 163, which covers the outside of the heating sleeve 161 to ensure that the heat of the heating sleeve 161 is retained inside, preventing heat leakage and reducing energy consumption.

[0043] In one embodiment, the heating assembly further includes a temperature detector 164, which detects the temperature of the outer mold 120 and adjusts the heating power of the heating assembly on the material in the mold cavity 121 according to the temperature, ensuring that the material is in a molten or softened state while avoiding excessively high material temperature. Preferably, the temperature detector 164 is a temperature control probe, and the extrusion molding device is correspondingly provided with a control box 165, which is disposed on the frame 110 and connected to both the temperature detector 164 and the heating assembly, so as to control the operation of the heating assembly according to the detection result of the temperature detector 164.

[0044] In one embodiment, the discharge nozzle 130 is detachably disposed at the bottom opening 123 of the outer mold 120. This allows the discharge nozzle 130 to be replaced as needed, and different discharge nozzles 130 can have different forming holes 131 sizes, thereby enabling the production of metal wires or other products of different sizes. Furthermore, the detachable discharge nozzle 130 facilitates cleaning of the device. Preferably, the discharge nozzle 130 has multiple forming holes 131 to improve production efficiency.

[0045] In one embodiment, the extrusion molding apparatus further includes a valve assembly 170, which is disposed on the frame 110 and located below the discharge nozzle 130. The valve assembly 170 is used to open and close the forming orifice 131, thereby controlling the operation of the extrusion molding apparatus. It should be explained that without the valve assembly 170, during operation, the material in the mold cavity 121 is first heated by the heating assembly until it reaches a molten or softened state. Then, the extruder 140 extrudes the material from the mold cavity 121. However, before the extruder 140 extrudes, some material may flow out of the forming orifice 131. The outflow rate is slow and the amount is small, causing the material to easily agglomerate and cool, affecting the quality of the finished product. By using the valve assembly 170, the forming orifice 131 is opened when the extruder 140 begins extrusion. The material extrusion rate is more stable, preventing agglomeration. Furthermore, the material cools and solidifies rapidly after entering the cooling tank 150, ensuring better quality of the finished product.

[0046] Furthermore, the valve assembly 170 includes a valve seat 171 and a gate 172. The valve seat 171 is disposed on the frame 110, and the gate 172 is movably disposed on the valve seat 171 and located below the discharge port. During its movement, the gate 172 can open and close the forming orifice 131. Specifically... Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the gate 172 is slidably disposed on the valve seat 171, and the gate 172 opens and closes the forming hole 131 by pushing and pulling.

[0047] It should be noted that the valve seat 171 can also serve as a structure supporting the discharge nozzle 130 and the outer mold 120. To prevent heat from the valve seat 171 from being transferred to the frame 110, a heat insulation pad 173 can be provided at the connection between the valve seat 171 and the frame 110.

[0048] In one embodiment, the extrusion molding apparatus further includes an extrusion drive 180, which is disposed on the frame 110 and connected to the extruder 140 to drive the extruder 140 to move relative to the frame 110, thereby inserting it into the mold cavity 121 through the top opening 122 during the movement. Specifically... Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the extrusion drive 180 is a hydraulic cylinder to generate a large extrusion force; and the extrusion drive 180 drives the extrusion member 140 to reciprocate in the vertical direction.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the extrusion molding apparatus further includes a connector 191 and an anti-detachment component 192. The extrusion drive component 180 is connected to the connector 191, and the connector 191 and the extruder 140 are in contact via a spherical joint. One end of the anti-detachment component 192 is fixedly connected to one of the connector 191 and the extruder 140, and the other end is movably connected to the other of the connector 191 and the extruder 140. Thus, the spherical joint allows the extruder 140 to swing relative to the connector 191. When there is a positional deviation in the outer mold 120, the extruder 140 can adjust its position to ensure that it can be inserted into the mold cavity 121. It is understood that the deviation of the outer mold 120 is usually small, so the insertion of the extruder 140 into the mold cavity 121 can be ensured by the swinging of the extruder 140.

[0050] In practical applications, the anti-detachment component 192 is a bolt. One end of the bolt is threaded to the extrusion component 140, and the other end passes through the connection hole provided in the connector 191. The diameter of the connection hole is larger than the diameter of the bolt shank but smaller than the size of the bolt head, so that the extrusion component 140 can swing relative to the connector 191 while preventing the extrusion component 140 from falling off.

[0051] The structure of the extrusion molding apparatus has been described. To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, it is combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working process of the extrusion molding apparatus in the above embodiments is described as follows:

[0052] First, the forming hole 131 is closed by the gate 172. Then, metal material is placed in the mold cavity 121. The metal in the mold cavity 121 is heated to a molten state by the heating jacket 161 and the heating module 162. Then, the extrusion drive 180 drives the extruder 140 to descend and insert into the mold cavity 121. At the same time, the gate 172 is pulled out, opening the forming hole 131. Under the action of the extruder 140, the material is output from the forming hole 131. After output, the filamentous material enters the cooling tank 150 to cool and solidify, forming the finished metal wire. After a batch of metal wires is processed, the extrusion drive 180 drives the extruder 140 to rise, and then pushes the gate 172 to close the forming hole 131. The above actions are then repeated.

[0053] In summary, the extrusion molding apparatus provided in this application has at least the following advantages:

[0054] 1. Because a cooling tank 150 is provided below, the molten metal wire can be cooled rapidly, thereby enabling the preparation of metal wire with a low melting point;

[0055] 2. It has a simple structure, low equipment cost, small footprint, and is easy to operate and clean, making it suitable for the preparation of precious metal wires;

[0056] 3. The 130 discharge nozzle is detachable, which can be used to prepare metal wires of different sizes, and the metal wires are dimensionally stable and highly accurate.

[0057] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
