[0030] Figure 1 A front view of an injection molding machine 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown, and Figure 2 A perspective view of injection molding machine 1 is shown. Injection molding machine 1 is configured to encapsulate the joints of geocells. Figure 1 As shown, the injection molding machine 1 includes a base 10 and a support frame 20 fixedly mounted on the base 10. The base 10 includes a frame 11 and a lower support plate 12 fixedly mounted on the frame 11. The support frame 20 includes a column 21 and an upper support plate 22. One end of the column 21 is fixedly mounted on the lower support plate 12 of the base 10, and the upper support plate 22 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the column 21 and supported by the column 21. After the upper support plate 22 is installed in place relative to the column 21, it is fixed by a lock nut 23 to maintain the position of the upper support plate 22 relative to the column 21. In the example shown in the figure, the upper support plate 22 is rectangular, and its four corners are supported by four columns 21.
[0031] The injection molding machine 1 also includes a plurality of injection molding units mounted on and supported by a support frame 20. Specifically, the plurality of injection molding units are mounted on an upper support plate 22 of the support frame 20 and configured to move relative to the support frame 20 in a direction toward or away from the base 10. Preferably, the injection molding machine 1 is further provided with a plurality of guide rods for guiding the movement of the injection molding units relative to the support frame 20. In the example shown in the figure, the guide rods are mounted on the upper support plate 22 of the support frame 20 and configured to guide the movement of the injection molding units relative to the upper support plate 22.
[0032] In the example shown in the figure, the injection molding machine includes two sets of injection molding units, namely, a first set of injection molding units A1 and a second set of injection molding units A2, each of which includes multiple injection molding units. In the example shown in the figure, both the first set of injection molding units A1 and the second set of injection molding units A2 include 7 injection molding units. The first set of injection molding units A1 includes injection molding units 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, and 37, while the second set of injection molding units A2 includes injection molding units 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47. However, it should be noted that this utility model is not limited to this. In other examples according to this utility model, the first set of injection molding units A1 and the second set of injection molding units A2 can be configured with more or fewer injection molding units as needed.
[0033] Best place Figure 2 As shown, injection units 31-37 in the first group of injection units A1 are spaced apart from each other and arranged in a row on one side of the upper support plate 22 of the support frame 20, while injection units 41-47 in the second group of injection units A2 are spaced apart from each other and arranged in a row on the other side of the upper support plate 22 of the support frame 20. Furthermore, preferably as... Figure 1 As shown, injection units 31-37 in the first group of injection units A1 and injection units 41-47 in the second group of injection units A2 are aligned along the length of injection molding machine 1. Figure 1 They are arranged alternately on the left and right sides of the center.
[0034] The injection units in the first group of injection units A1 and the second group of injection units A2 have the same structure and can operate independently of each other. In the following text, the structure of the injection unit will be described using injection unit 31 in the first group of injection units A1 as an example.
[0035] The injection molding unit 31 is provided with a hopper 311, a barrel 312, and an injection nozzle 313. The hopper 311 is configured to store granules of plastic material, such as PP material granules. The granules in the barrel 312 can be filled by opening the cover 319 (in... Figure 2(As shown in the figure) and easily performed. A barrel 312 is connected to the outlet of a hopper 311 and configured to receive rubber particles from the hopper 311. A heating element (not shown) is provided inside the barrel 312, configured to heat and melt the rubber particles within the barrel 312 into a colloidal fluid. In the example shown, a screw (not shown) is also provided inside the barrel 312, and the heating element is a heating coil mounted inside the barrel. The screw has threaded grooves and is configured to be driven to rotate within the barrel 312 so that rubber particles from the hopper 311 are supplied into the barrel 312. However, the barrel 312, its screw, and the heating element are not limited to the types described above. In other examples according to the present invention, the barrel 312 and its heating element may be of any other suitable type as needed. An injection nozzle 313 is provided at the outlet of the barrel 312 and configured to supply the molten colloidal fluid from the barrel 312 to the injection mold of the injection molding machine 1.
[0036] The injection molding unit 31 is provided with a drive device 314, which is configured to drive the injection molding unit 31 to move relative to the support frame 20 toward or away from the base 10. Preferably, on both sides of the injection molding unit 31 (e.g., Figure 1 A drive unit 314 is provided on both the left and right sides of the injection molding unit 31 to make the movement of the injection molding unit 31 relative to the support frame 20 smoother. In one example, the drive unit 314 may be in the form of a hydraulic cylinder. Preferably, the drive unit 314 is also provided with a displacement sensor (not shown in the figure), which is configured to detect the distance the injection molding unit 31 moves relative to the support frame 20. In the example shown in the figure, the displacement sensor is a displacement electronic ruler. Preferably, the injection molding machine 1 is also provided with guide rods 317 for the injection molding unit 31 to guide the movement of the injection molding unit 31 relative to the support frame 20. In the example shown in the figure, the injection molding machine 1 is provided with two guide rods 317 for the injection molding unit 31, respectively on opposite sides of the injection molding unit 31 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The left and right sides of the injection unit 31 are mounted on the upper bearing plate 22 of the support frame 20, so that the injection unit 31 can be guided to move from both sides, making the movement of the injection unit 31 more stable.
[0037] The injection unit 31 is also provided with an injection drive device 316. The injection drive device 316 is connected to the barrel 312 and configured to move relative to the barrel 312 to extrude the molten colloidal fluid within the barrel 312 to the injection nozzle 313, and then supply it to the injection mold of the injection molding machine 1 via the injection nozzle 313. The injection unit 31 is also provided with an injection sensor 318 (only in...). Figure 2(As indicated by the drawing), the injection sensor 318 is configured to detect the distance the injection drive 316 moves relative to the barrel 312, and thereby detect the amount of colloidal fluid extruded from the barrel 312. In the example shown in the figure, the injection sensor 318 is a displacement electronic ruler. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other examples according to the present invention, the injection sensor 318 may be other suitable types of sensors, as long as they are capable of measuring the amount of colloidal fluid extruded from the barrel 312.
[0038] The injection molding unit 31 is also provided with a feeding drive device (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the screw of the barrel 312 and configured to move relative to the barrel 312 to drive the screw to rotate, so that the rubber particles in the hopper 311 are supplied into the barrel 312 to be heated and melted by the heating element in the barrel 312. In one example, the feeding drive device is in the form of a hydraulic motor. Preferably, the feeding drive device (e.g., a hydraulic motor) can be mounted on the injection drive device 316 so that it can move with the injection drive device 316. It is also more preferably that the injection molding unit 31 is also provided with a feeding sensor (not shown in the figure), which is configured to detect the distance the feeding drive device moves relative to the barrel 312, thereby detecting the amount of rubber particles supplied to the barrel 312.
[0039] The other injection units 32-37 in the first group of injection units A1 and the injection units 41-47 in the second group of injection units A2 have similar structures to the above-mentioned injection unit 31, and will not be described again in this document.
[0040] The injection molding machine 1 also includes an injection mold, at least a portion of which is disposed on the base 10. The injection mold has multiple cavities configured to accommodate the joints of geocells. In the example shown in the figure, the injection mold includes multiple mold units, namely, mold units 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, and 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, and 67. Each mold unit 51-57 and each mold unit 61-67 has a cavity configured to accommodate the joints of geocells. Each mold unit has the same construction, including an upper mold and a lower mold configured to engage with each other, and the lower mold of each mold unit is disposed on the lower support plate 12 of the base 10.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, mold units 51-57 and mold units 61-67 are in the longitudinal direction of injection molding machine 1 ( Figure 1The mold units are arranged alternately in the left-right direction (as shown in the image). Mold units 51-57 correspond to the first group of injection molding units A1, and mold units 61-67 correspond to the second group of injection molding units A2. Taking mold unit 51 as an example, the structure of each mold unit will be described. Figure 1 As best shown in the figure, mold unit 51 includes an upper mold 511 and a lower mold 512. The lower mold 512 is disposed on the lower support plate 12 and is located directly below the injection nozzle 313 of the injection unit 31. In the example shown in the figure, the upper mold 511 is mounted on the injection nozzle 313 of the injection unit 31 and is configured to move with the injection nozzle 313 to engage with or disengage from the lower mold 512. Similarly, the lower molds 522, 532, 542, 552, 562, and 572 of mold units 52-57 and the lower molds 612, 622, 632, 642, 652, 662, and 672 of mold units 61-67 are also disposed on the lower support plate 12 of the base 10, respectively located directly below the injection nozzles of the corresponding injection units in injection units 32-27 and injection units 41-47. The lower molds 512-572 of mold units 51-57 are arranged in a row at intervals along the length of the injection molding machine 1, and the lower molds 612-672 of mold units 61-67 are arranged in a row at intervals along the length of the injection molding machine 1, and are staggered with the lower molds 512-517. The upper molds 521, 531, 541, 551, 561, and 571 of nozzle units 52-57 and the upper molds of nozzle units 61-67 (not shown in the figure) are respectively installed on the injection nozzles of the corresponding injection units, and can move together with the injection nozzles of the injection units toward the lower mold on the base 10 to engage with the lower mold, or move away from the lower mold on the base 10 to separate from the lower mold. Figure 3 A perspective view of the injection mold of injection molding machine 1 in a closed state is shown, wherein the upper and lower molds of each injection unit are engaged. It should be noted that in the embodiment shown in the figure, the injection mold of injection molding machine 1 is formed as multiple independent mold units, each having an upper and lower mold. Each injection unit is provided with a cavity configured to accommodate a geocell, thereby giving the injection mold multiple cavities. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other examples according to the present invention, the injection mold may also be a single injection unit forming multiple cavities.
[0042] Preferably, the injection molding machine 1 may also be provided with a fixing device (not shown in the figure) for fixing the geocell in place on the base 10. For example, a fixing device in the form of a positioning post may be provided on the lower support plate 12 of the base 10. The geocell can be held in place on the lower support plate 12 by hooking onto the positioning post at multiple locations (e.g., at multiple joints), thereby making it easy for the joints of the geocell to be coated to be held in place in the cavity of the corresponding mold unit for coating.
[0043] Preferably, the injection molding machine 1 may also be equipped with a cooling device (not shown in the figure) configured to cool the colloid within the cavity of the injection mold. For example, in one example, the injection molding machine 1 may be equipped with a water-cooled cooling device that can be connected to each mold unit of the injection mold to supply cooling water to each mold unit, thereby rapidly cooling and solidifying the colloid in the cavity of each mold unit. This helps to increase the encapsulation speed at each joint of the geocell and further improves the manufacturing efficiency of the geocell.
[0044] More preferably, the injection molding machine 1 may also be provided with a conveying device (not shown in the figure) configured to convey the geocells to the injection mold.
[0045] The above describes the structure of an injection molding machine 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The injection molding machine according to the present invention can simultaneously inject colloid into multiple cavities, thereby automatically encapsulating multiple joints of geocells simultaneously, improving the manufacturing efficiency and automation level of geocells. Furthermore, the injection molding units and mold units of the injection molding machine according to the present invention can operate independently, allowing for encapsulation of geocell joints not limited to joints corresponding to the arrangement of injection molding units 31-37, 41-47, and mold units 51-57 and 61-67. It also allows for the operation of certain injection molding units and mold units to encapsulate joints in a specific arrangement as needed, thus providing further flexibility.
[0046] The following describes a method for manufacturing geocells by using an injection molding machine 1 according to the present invention to coat geocells with adhesive. Figure 4 A flowchart of a geocell manufacturing method according to the present invention is shown.
[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, firstly, in step S1, the joints of the geocells where multiple reinforcing strips connect to each other at the joints are placed in the cavities of each injection unit of the injection molding machine 1. Figure 5 An example of a geocell is shown. Figure 5 As shown, multiple reinforcing strips in geocell M are connected to each other at joints. For example, multiple reinforcing strips are interlocked at each joint. Figure 5Taking the geocell M shown as an example, in step S1, the contacts L11-L17 of the geocell M are placed in the cavities of mold units 61-67 of the injection molding machine 1, and the contacts L21-L27 of the geocell M are placed in the cavities of mold units 51-57 of the injection molding machine 1. Preferably, when the injection molding machine 1 is equipped with a fixing device, after placing each contact in the corresponding cavity, the geocell can be fixed to the fixing device, which helps to maintain the positioning of contacts L11-L17 in mold units 61-67 and the positioning of contacts L21-L27 in mold units 51-57.
[0048] In step S2, the rubber particles in the hopper of each injection molding unit are supplied to the barrel, and the barrel is activated for heating. Taking injection molding unit 31 as an example, the rubber particles in hopper 311 are supplied to barrel 312 as the screw of barrel 312 is driven to rotate by the feeding drive device, and the heating element in barrel 312 is activated for heating to melt the rubber particles in barrel 312 into a colloidal fluid.
[0049] In step S3, the drive unit of each injection molding unit is activated, causing each injection molding unit to move relative to the support frame 20 toward the base 10, so that the upper mold mounted on the injection nozzle of each injection molding unit engages with the upper mold on the lower support plate 12 of the base 10, thereby closing each mold unit and maintaining each mold unit in a closed mold state. Figure 3 As shown. For example, when the drive device 314 of the injection unit 31 is activated, the injection unit 31 moves relative to the support frame 20 along the guide rod 317 toward the base 10. The upper mold 511 mounted on the injection nozzle 313 also moves toward the base 10 along with the injection unit 31, so that the upper mold 511 engages with the lower mold 512 on the lower support plate 12 of the base 10, the mold unit 51 closes and remains in the closed mold state.
[0050] It should be noted that the order of steps S2 and S3 can be interchanged. For example, in one example, each injection unit can be moved toward the base 10 first so that the mold unit is closed and in a closed state. Then, the feeding drive device of each injection unit is started so that the rubber particles in the hopper 311 are supplied into the barrel 312 so that they are heated and melted into a colloidal fluid by the heating element.
[0051] In step S4, the injection drive device of each injection molding unit is activated to extrude a predetermined amount of molten colloidal fluid from the corresponding barrel into the injection nozzle and inject it into the cavity of the corresponding mold unit to cover the contact point L21 of the geocell M placed in the cavity. After the predetermined amount of colloidal fluid has been injected into the cavity, the injection drive device of each injection molding unit stops injection. For example, the injection drive device 316 of injection molding unit 31 is activated and moves relative to barrel 312 in the direction toward base 10, extruding a predetermined amount of molten colloidal fluid from barrel 312 of injection molding unit 31 into injection nozzle 313 and injecting it into the cavity of mold unit 51 to cover the contact point L21 of the geocell M placed in the cavity of mold unit 51. After the predetermined amount of colloidal fluid has been injected, the injection drive device 316 stops injection. Subsequently, the injection drive device 316 moves relative to the barrel 312 in a direction away from the base 10, and the feeding drive device mounted on the injection drive device 316 also moves along with the injection drive device 316 in a direction away from the base 10, stopping the drive of the screw in the barrel 312, thereby stopping the feeding of material into the barrel 312.
[0052] In step S5, the colloid injected into the cavity of the mold unit and covering the joints of the geocell is cooled and solidified. Preferably, each mold unit can be cooled by a cooling device.
[0053] After the colloid covering the joint cools and solidifies, in step S7, the drive unit of each injection molding unit is activated, causing each injection molding unit to move in the opposite direction, i.e., away from the base 10. The upper mold mounted on the injection nozzle of each injection molding unit separates from the lower mold on the lower support plate 12 of the base 10 as the injection molding unit moves, thereby opening the mold unit and removing the coated joint from the cavity of the injection molding unit. For example, the drive unit 314 of injection molding unit 31 is activated, causing injection molding unit 31 to move relative to the support frame 20 along the guide rod 317 away from the base 10. The upper mold 511 mounted on the injection nozzle 313 separates from the lower mold 512 on the lower support plate 12 as the injection molding unit 31 moves, thus opening the mold unit 51. Then, the coated joint L21 of the geocell M is removed from the cavity of the mold unit 51. Thus, the coating of joint L21 is completed. Similarly, the sealing of joints L22-L27 and L11-L17 was also completed. That is, the sealing of all 14 joints of geocell M was completed simultaneously.
[0054] Then, in step S8, it is determined whether all joints of the geocell have been coated with adhesive. If there are still uncoated joints, the uncoated joints are placed into the corresponding cavities of the injection mold of the injection molding machine 1, and the above process is repeated. For example, after joints L11-L17 and L21-L27 of the geocell M are coated, the next two rows of joints of the geocell M can be placed into the cavities of the injection molding machine 1, and the next two rows of joints are coated. The above process is repeated until all joints of the geocell M are coated. If the injection molding machine 1 is equipped with a conveying device, after coating a portion of the joints, for example, after coating joints L11-L17 and L21-L27 of the geocell M, the geocell M can be conveyed by the conveying device to transport the next two rows of joints of the geocell M to the vicinity of the corresponding mold unit, so as to facilitate coating the next two rows of joints.
[0055] According to this invention, each injection unit and each mold unit of the injection molding machine 1 can operate independently of each other. Therefore, even if the number and position of the uncoated joints in the geocell M do not correspond to the number and position of all injection units and mold units of the injection molding machine 1, the corresponding injection units and mold units in the injection molding machine 1 can be controlled as needed to complete the coating of these joints.
[0056] After all joints of the geocell are coated with adhesive, the geocell is completed in step S9, and the geocell can be packaged and stored.
[0057] The injection molding machine 1 according to this invention can be integrated into a geocell manufacturing system and used in conjunction with other equipment for manufacturing geocells. For example, in one embodiment, the geocell system may include the injection molding machine 1 according to this invention, and may also include one or more of the following: a device for stretching the geocell strips, a tape-laying device, a joint connection device, a joint angle setting device, etc.
[0058] The above describes an injection molding machine and geocell manufacturing system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The injection molding machine and geocell manufacturing system according to the present invention can simultaneously encapsulate multiple joints of a geocell, significantly improving manufacturing efficiency and the degree of automation in geocell manufacturing.

However, it should be understood that this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described and shown above. Various modifications and variations can be made to this invention by those skilled in the art without departing from its spirit and scope. All such modifications and variations fall within the scope of this invention. Moreover, all components described herein can be replaced by other technically equivalent components.
