Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polyurethane foaming machine technology, and more specifically, to an automatic lubrication system for the mixing head of a foaming machine. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the application fields of polyurethane foam products produced by polyurethane foaming machines have become very wide. In the construction industry, polyurethane foaming machines can be used to produce thermal insulation materials, sound insulation materials, etc. In the automotive industry, they can be used to produce interior parts such as car seats and dashboards, improving comfort and safety. In the aerospace industry, they can be used to produce lightweight, high-strength sound insulation materials, thermal insulation materials, etc. The working principle of polyurethane foaming is to precisely measure and proportion two component liquids, A and B, and then use two high-precision metering pumps to separately deliver the A and B component liquids to the mixing head of the foaming machine. In the mixing head, the liquids are mixed under high pressure, resulting in a uniform mixture that is then sprayed out to form the desired polyurethane foam product. The mixing head, as the core part of the foaming machine, determines whether the machine can produce qualified products, and its smooth and efficient operation is also crucial for the normal production of products. Therefore, ensuring that the mixing head can work smoothly for a long time is particularly important throughout the entire polyurethane foam production process. To this end, we have proposed an automatic lubrication system for the mixing head of the foaming machine. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic lubrication system for the mixing head of a foaming machine.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An automatic lubrication system for a foaming machine mixing head includes a storage tank, an electrical control box, an external power supply, and a foaming machine mixing head body. The storage tank has a temperature control mechanism at its bottom. The foaming machine mixing head body has a grease inlet and a grease outlet. A grease circulation pump is fixedly installed inside the storage tank. A circulation grease inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the grease circulation pump, with its end extending to the outside of the storage tank and connected to the grease inlet. A circulation return grease pipe is fixedly connected to the grease outlet, with its end fixedly sleeved into the inner cavity of the storage tank. A filter mechanism is installed in the middle of the circulation return grease pipe. An air system pipe is fixedly connected to the grease circulation pump, and a control solenoid valve is installed in the middle of the air system pipe. A temperature sensor is fixedly installed inside the storage tank.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the filtration mechanism includes a filter box fixedly sleeved in the middle section of the circulating grease return pipeline, a sealing door hinged to the outside of the filter box, and a filter screen fixedly sleeved in the inner cavity of the filter box.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the temperature regulating mechanism includes a water storage tank fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the storage tank, a water pump fixedly installed on the top surface of the water storage tank, the input end of the water pump extending into the inner cavity of the water storage tank and fixedly connected to a suction pipe, the output end of the water pump fixedly connected to a distribution pipe, a plurality of heat exchange copper pipes fixedly connected to the side of the distribution pipe, the ends of the plurality of heat exchange copper pipes respectively penetrating the inner cavity of the storage tank and fixedly sleeved to the inner cavity of the water storage tank, a temperature-conducting fin fixedly sleeved on the side of the water storage tank, one end of the temperature-conducting fin extending into the inner cavity of the water storage tank, and a semiconductor cooling chip fixedly installed on the other end of the water storage tank, with heat dissipation fins fixedly connected to the heating surface of the semiconductor cooling chip.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the electrical control box is electrically connected to the control solenoid valve, the semiconductor cooling chip, the temperature sensor, and the water pump.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the external power supply is electrically connected to the control solenoid valve, the electrical control box, the semiconductor refrigeration chip, the temperature sensor, and the water pump.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner cavity of the storage tank is provided with a lubricating medium.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner cavity of the water storage tank is provided with cooling water.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0013] (1) In this utility model, gas is introduced into the grease circulation pump through the air system pipeline to drive the grease circulation pump. The grease circulation pump introduces the grease in the storage tank into the foaming machine mixing head body through the circulation grease inlet pipe. The grease lubricates the moving parts in the foaming machine mixing head body, ensuring the smooth movement of the foaming machine mixing head body, avoiding jamming during operation, and extending the service life of the foaming machine mixing head body. The lubricated grease flows back to the storage tank through the circulation return grease pipe. At the same time, the impurities mixed in the grease are filtered through the filter screen in the filter box to prevent impurities brought out during the lubrication of the foaming machine mixing head body from entering the storage tank, ensuring the lubrication effect of subsequent grease. The entire lubrication process is fully automatic, with high lubrication efficiency, saving time and effort.
[0014] (2) In this utility model, the temperature of the grease in the storage tank is detected in real time by a temperature sensor. When the temperature of the grease in the storage tank increases due to hot weather, the lubrication effect of the grease deteriorates. At this time, the water in the storage tank is cooled by the cooperation of the semiconductor cooling chip and the heat-conducting fins. The cooling water is pumped into the water distribution pipe by the water pump, and the cooling water in the water distribution pipe is diverted into the heat exchange copper pipe. The cooling water in the heat exchange copper pipe exchanges heat with the grease in the inner cavity of the storage tank, thereby cooling the grease in the storage tank and ensuring that the grease is at a suitable working temperature, thus improving the working quality of the automatic lubrication system of the foaming machine mixing head.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The temperature control mechanism 12 includes a water tank 17 fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1. A water pump 18 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the water tank 17. The input end of the water pump 18 extends into the inner cavity of the water tank 17 and is fixedly connected to a suction pipe 19. The output end of the water pump 18 is fixedly connected to a distribution pipe 20. Multiple heat exchange copper pipes 21 are fixedly connected to the side of the distribution pipe 20. The ends of the multiple heat exchange copper pipes 21 pass through the inner cavity of the storage tank 1 and are fixedly sleeved to the inner cavity of the water tank 17. A heat-conducting fin 22 is fixedly sleeved on the side of the water tank 17. One end of the heat-conducting fin 22 extends into the inner cavity of the water tank 17.

[0031] In this embodiment, the low temperature generated by the cooling surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 23 is conducted to the water in the inner cavity of the water storage tank 17 by the heat-conducting fins 22, thereby cooling the water in the water storage tank 17.

[0040] Working Principle: During operation, the solenoid valve 4 and electrical control box 5 control the intake of external gas into the grease circulation pump 2. This gas drives the pump, which in turn draws grease from the storage tank 1 through the grease inlet pipe 6 into the mixing head body 9 of the foaming machine. The grease then lubricates the moving parts within the mixing head body 9. After lubrication, the grease returns to the storage tank 1 through the grease return pipe 7. Furthermore, the filter screen 15 in the filter box 14 filters out impurities from the grease, preventing impurities carried out during lubrication of the mixing head body 9 from entering the storage tank 1 and ensuring effective lubrication. Finally, the temperature sensor 25 monitors the storage tank in real time. When the temperature of the grease in storage tank 1 rises due to hot weather, its lubricating effect deteriorates. At this time, the semiconductor cooling chip 23 is energized to generate a low temperature on its cooling surface. The low temperature is then conducted to the water in the inner cavity of the water tank 17 by the heat-conducting fins 22, thereby cooling the water in the inner cavity of the water tank 17. Finally, the water pump 18 is started to guide the cooling water from the suction pipe 19 to the distribution pipe 20, and the cooling water in the distribution pipe 20 is diverted to the heat exchange copper pipe 21. The cooling water in the heat exchange copper pipe 21 exchanges heat with the grease in the inner cavity of storage tank 1, thereby cooling the grease in storage tank 1 and ensuring that the grease is at a suitable working temperature. In addition, the cooling water in the heat exchange copper pipe 21 after heat exchange flows back to the inner cavity of the water tank 17.
