Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of injection device technology, specifically to a solvent injection device for adhesive production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of adhesives, solvent mixing and dispensing are crucial steps. The performance of adhesives (such as tack, curing speed, corrosion resistance, etc.) largely depends on the uniformity of solvent mixing and the precise proportions of each component.

[0003] Currently, traditional adhesive solvent mixing and dispensing equipment has several significant drawbacks. Firstly, many devices employ a simplistic stirring method and poorly designed stirring structures, leading to uneven solvent mixing. For instance, some stirring devices have improperly distributed blades that fail to fully cover the entire mixing area, resulting in ineffective mixing of certain solvents and impacting the quality stability of the adhesive. Secondly, different solvents require specific temperatures for mixing; appropriate temperatures improve solvent flowability and mixing efficiency. However, some existing devices lack effective heating and insulation measures, or their heating methods are not precise enough to maintain the solvent within a suitable temperature range, further affecting the production quality of the adhesive.

[0004] On the other hand, accurate metering is crucial for ensuring the precise proportions of adhesive components during solvent feeding and dispensing. However, in traditional equipment, solvent feeding and metering are often not precise enough, and simple valve controls are insufficient to meet the stringent mixing requirements of different solvents, easily leading to fluctuations in adhesive product quality. Furthermore, existing feeding and dispensing devices also have shortcomings in continuous feeding, failing to achieve efficient and stable continuous dispensing, thus affecting adhesive production efficiency and increasing production costs.

[0005] In addition, existing adhesive solvent dispensing devices are usually complex in structure, with each functional module being independent of the others. The connection and layout between the devices are not compact enough, which not only occupies a large production space, but also increases the investment and maintenance costs of the equipment, and also increases the risk of leakage due to the connection of the equipment.

[0034] See attached document Figures 1-5 A solvent dispensing device for adhesive production includes a heat-insulating tank 1, a funnel-shaped stirring chamber 2 connected to the bottom of the heat-insulating tank 1, a plurality of solvent storage tanks 5 inside the heat-insulating tank 1, a conveying mechanism 3 connected to the bottom of the stirring chamber 2, a mixing mechanism 8 inside the stirring chamber 2, and a driving mechanism 4 on the heat-insulating tank 1. The output end of the driving mechanism 4 is connected to the mixing mechanism 8 and the conveying mechanism 3.

[0035] The heat preservation tank 1 is equipped with several heating mechanisms 7, which are located between two adjacent solvent storage tanks 5. A discharge port 6 is provided at the center of the lower end of the solvent storage tank 5, and a metering valve is provided at the lower end of the discharge port 6.

[0036] The drive mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 43 rotatably installed inside the insulated tank 1 and the mixing chamber 2. The upper end of the rotating shaft 43 is connected to the motor 41 via a reduction gear set 42. The lower part of the rotating shaft 43 is connected to the mixing mechanism 8, which includes several mixing units 81 arranged in a circular array. Each mixing unit 81 includes a mounting strip 82, on which several stirring rods 83 are mounted. The length of the stirring rods 83 decreases from top to bottom.

[0037] The material conveying mechanism 3 includes a material conveying pipe 31 and a connecting shaft 32. The material conveying pipe 31 is located at the lower end of the mixing chamber 2. The upper end of the connecting shaft 32 is connected to the thread 34 and installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 43. A feeding screw 33 is provided on the connecting shaft 32, and a material inlet 35 is provided at the lower end of the material conveying pipe 31.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] Before starting adhesive production, operators first inspect all components, including the insulation tank 1, mixing chamber 2, conveying mechanism 3, and drive mechanism 4, to ensure the equipment is in normal operating condition. Then, different types of solvents are injected into several solvent storage tanks 5 within the insulation tank 1 through their respective inlets for storage. These solvent storage tanks 5 are independently set up, effectively preventing unnecessary mixing between different solvents during storage. Simultaneously, the heating mechanism 7 located between adjacent solvent storage tanks 5 within the insulation tank 1 is in standby mode, capable of heating and maintaining the solvent at a suitable temperature to ensure its fluidity and chemical properties.

[0040] When the adhesive production process starts, the operator sets the discharge rate of each solvent according to the required adhesive formula through the control system. A discharge port 6 is located at the center of the lower end of the solvent storage tank 5. A metering valve installed below the discharge port 6 precisely controls the solvent flow rate according to the set parameters. The metering valve employs high-precision control technology, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustment of the solvent flow rate to ensure that each solvent flows into the mixing chamber 2 below in a precise ratio. For example, for a specific adhesive formula, solvents A, B, and C need to be mixed in a certain mass ratio. The metering valve will control the discharge speed and time of solvents A, B, and C respectively to achieve accurate mixing requirements.

[0041] As the solvent flows from the solvent storage tank 5 into the mixing chamber 2, the heating mechanism 7 begins operation. The heating mechanism 7 heats the solvent using a specific heating method (such as electric heating or heat conduction) and monitors the solvent temperature in real time via a temperature sensor. When the temperature reaches the set range, the heating mechanism 7 automatically adjusts the heating power to maintain a stable solvent temperature. This precise temperature control helps improve the solvent's fluidity, allowing for better mixing within the mixing chamber 2. It also helps ensure the chemical stability of the solvent during adhesive production, preventing performance changes caused by improper temperature.

[0042] The motor 41 in the drive mechanism 4 starts, and the high-speed power output by the motor 41 is reduced and amplified by the reduction gear set 42. The reduction gear set 42 transmits the appropriate speed and torque to the rotating shaft 43, so that the rotating shaft 43 rotates stably within the insulation tank 1 and the stirring chamber 2. The mixing mechanism 8 is connected below the rotating shaft 43. The mixing mechanism 8 consists of several mixing units 81 arranged in a circular array. Several stirring rods 83 are mounted on the mounting strip 82 of each mixing unit 81, and the length of the stirring rods 83 decreases from top to bottom. When the rotating shaft 43 rotates, the mixing unit 81 rotates accordingly, and the stirring rods 83 form different stirring zones and flow fields within the stirring chamber 2. The longer stirring rods 83 can perform large-scale stirring in the upper region of the stirring chamber 2, so that the solvent that has just flowed in is initially mixed; while the shorter stirring rods 83 perform more fine stirring in the lower region of the stirring chamber 2, further improving the uniformity of solvent mixing. Through this special stirring structure design, different solvents can be fully and uniformly mixed in the stirring chamber 2, ensuring the consistency of solvent composition after mixing.

[0043] While the solvent is thoroughly mixed in the mixing mechanism 8, the rotation of the rotating shaft 43 also drives the conveying mechanism 3. A connecting shaft 32 is installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 43 via a connecting thread 34, and a feeding screw 33 is mounted on the connecting shaft 32. When the rotating shaft 43 rotates, the connecting shaft 32 and the feeding screw 33 rotate accordingly. The well-mixed solvent in the mixing chamber 2 is continuously conveyed to the conveying pipe 31 under the action of the feeding screw 33. The spiral blades of the feeding screw 33 ensure a stable and uniform flow of the solvent within the conveying pipe 31, preventing blockages or poor conveying. A filling port 35 is provided at the lower end of the conveying pipe 31. The well-mixed solvent is injected from the filling port 35 into subsequent adhesive production equipment or containers, completing the filling operation. Throughout the conveying and filling process, the operator can adjust the speed of the motor 41 through the control system according to production needs, thereby controlling the rotation speed of the feeding screw 33 to achieve precise control of the filling speed to meet different production rhythms and process requirements.

[0044] After the adhesive production task is completed, the operator stops the motor 41 and closes the metering valve at the discharge port 6 of the solvent storage tank 5 to stop the solvent delivery. Then, the insulation tank 1, mixing chamber 2, and conveying pipe 31 are cleaned to remove residual solvent and impurities, ensuring the equipment is clean and ready for the next production run. During cleaning, specific cleaning solutions and tools can be used to thoroughly clean the inside of the equipment, and the cleaning waste liquid is discharged through the drain outlet.

[0045] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
