Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blow molding technology, specifically a follow-up adaptive plastic molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic molding machines are devices used for the production of plastic products. Common plastic production methods include blow molding, rotational molding, and vacuum forming. Blow molding, also known as hollow blow molding, is a plastic processing method in which a tubular plastic preform obtained by extrusion or injection molding of thermoplastic resin is placed in a split mold while hot or heated to a softened state. After the mold is closed, compressed air is immediately introduced into the preform, causing the plastic preform to inflate and adhere tightly to the inner wall of the mold. After cooling and demolding, various hollow plastic products are obtained.

[0003] Existing plastic molding machines often need to produce products with different wall thicknesses. Therefore, a preform wall thickness control mechanism is set on the die head of the blow molding machine to adjust the preform wall thickness at any time. However, when the preform wall thickness is changed, the extrusion speed of the extruder screw cannot be changed in time, which leads to unstable laminar flow of plastic in the gap between the die head and the die core, affecting the color quality of the extruded product and reducing the yield rate. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a follow-up adaptive plastic molding machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a follow-up adaptive plastic molding machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a follow-up adaptive plastic molding machine, comprising a base, a bracket fixedly installed on the rear side of the base, a reducer fixedly installed on the upper end of the bracket, a DC motor fixedly installed on the right side of the reducer, an extruder fixedly installed on the front side of the reducer, a storage bin fixedly installed on the upper end of the extruder, a frame provided on the outer side of the extruder, a PLC controller fixedly installed on the upper end of the base, a DC driver fixedly installed on the upper end of the base, a die head fixedly installed on the front side of the extruder, a discharge port provided on the lower end of the die head, a die core provided inside the die head, a piston rod fixedly installed on the upper end of the die core, a fixed platform provided on the upper end of the die head, a hydraulic cylinder fixedly installed on the upper end of the fixed platform, a rod sleeve fixedly installed on the outer side of the piston rod, a support plate fixedly installed on the outer side of the rod sleeve, a displacement sensor fixedly installed on the rear side of the fixed platform, a pull wire provided on the lower end of the displacement sensor, and a wire end holder fixedly installed on the lower end of the pull wire.

[0006] Preferably, the storage silo is connected to the interior of the extruder, and the storage silo is funnel-shaped.

[0007] Preferably, the frame is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base, and the frame is adapted to the extruder.

[0008] Preferably, the piston rod passes through the fixed platform and is connected to the hydraulic cylinder, and the piston rod is located between the mold core and the hydraulic cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the sleeve is adapted to the piston rod, and the support plate is fixedly installed on the outside of the sleeve and extends rearward to the outside of the fixed platform.

[0010] Preferably, the wire end holder is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate, and the pull wire is located between the displacement sensor and the wire end holder.

[0011] Preferably, the piston rod and the mold core are both located on the same vertical line, and the pull line and the support plate are perpendicular to each other.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This follow-up adaptive plastic molding machine uses the combined use of a mold core, piston rod, and hydraulic cylinder. When the hydraulic cylinder drives the piston rod and mold core to adjust the wall thickness of the mold core and the discharge port, the sleeve and support plate on the piston rod also move up and down with the piston rod, thereby driving the pull wire to move. This allows the displacement sensor to monitor the distance the piston rod moves, making it easy to accurately collect the displacement changes of the piston rod adjusting the mold core.

[0014] 2. This adaptive plastic molding machine, through the configuration of a DC motor, displacement sensor, PLC controller, and DC driver, can transmit the displacement signal to the analog module of the PLC controller when the displacement sensor detects a change in piston rod displacement. This controls the speed of the DC motor driven by the DC driver, enabling adaptive control of the extruder's extrusion speed based on the displacement changes of the displacement sensor. Consequently, the change in wall thickness gap size is matched with the extrusion speed, balancing the discharge speed and improving the quality of the preform. Attached Figure Description

Through the arrangement of the DC motor 4, the displacement sensor 18, the PLC controller 8 and the DC driver 9, when the displacement sensor 18 detects the displacement change of the piston rod 13, it can transmit the displacement signal to the analog module of the PLC controller 8 to control the DC driver 9 to drive the speed of the DC motor 4. This allows the extrusion speed of the extruder 5 to be adaptively controlled according to the displacement change of the displacement sensor 18, so that the change in the wall thickness gap is matched with the extrusion speed, the discharge speed is balanced, and the quality of the parison is improved.

[0022] Please see Figure 2-4In this embodiment, the storage silo 6 is internally connected to the extruder 5. The storage silo 6 is funnel-shaped. The frame 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base 1. The frame 7 is adapted to the extruder 5. The piston rod 13 passes through the fixed platform 14 and is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 15. The piston rod 13 is located between the die core 12 and the hydraulic cylinder 15. The hydraulic cylinder 15 can drive the piston rod 13 and the die core 12 to adjust the wall thickness of the die core 12 and the discharge port 11. The rod sleeve 16 is adapted to the piston rod 13. The support plate 17 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rod sleeve 16 and extends backward. Outside the fixed platform 14, the sleeve 16 and support plate 17 on the piston rod 13 also move up and down with the piston rod 13, thereby driving the pull wire 19 to move. The wire end seat 20 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate 17. The pull wire 19 is located between the displacement sensor 18 and the wire end seat 20. The displacement sensor 18 can monitor the distance of the piston rod 13's movement, which is convenient for accurately collecting the displacement changes of the piston rod 13 adjusting the mold core 12. The piston rod 13 and the mold core 12 are both located on the same vertical line, and the pull wire 19 and the support plate 17 are perpendicular to each other.

[0023] Working principle: Through the coordinated use of the mold core 12, piston rod 13 and hydraulic cylinder 15, when the hydraulic cylinder 15 drives the piston rod 13 and mold core 12 to adjust the wall thickness of the mold core 12 and the discharge port 11, the rod sleeve 16 and support plate 17 on the piston rod 13 also move up and down with the piston rod 13, thereby driving the pull wire 19 to move. This allows the displacement sensor 18 to monitor the distance of the piston rod 13's movement, making it easy to accurately collect the displacement changes of the piston rod 13 in adjusting the mold core 12. Then, through the setting of DC motor 4, displacement sensor 18, PLC controller 8 and DC driver 9, when the displacement sensor 18 detects the displacement change of the piston rod 13, it transmits the displacement signal to the analog module of PLC controller 8 to control the DC driver 9 to drive the speed of DC motor 4.
