Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of phase change material processing equipment, and in particular to an integrated equipment for continuous processing and forming of phase change materials. Background Technology
[0002] The integrated continuous processing and molding equipment for phase change materials is a specialized device for the efficient and continuous production of phase change material products. This equipment integrates multiple processes from raw material handling to the final product, enabling large-scale, automated production. It is widely used in fields such as building energy conservation, cold chain logistics, and smart textiles.
[0003] When mixing materials, they need to be fed into the mixing chamber. Segmented feeding is an effective strategy, especially when handling powdery phase change materials or in scenarios requiring precise control of the mixing process. The core of segmented feeding is to add materials gradually, rather than putting all the material into the mixing chamber at once. The benefits of segmented feeding include reduced dust emissions, improved mixing uniformity, reduced equipment load, enhanced process control, reduced material waste, and improved safety.
[0004] Segmented feeding requires adjusting the amount of material fed per batch based on actual production conditions. For example, for powdery materials, the amount added per batch should be smaller to reduce dust dispersion and compression issues. For materials with poor flowability, the amount added per batch should also be appropriately reduced to ensure uniform mixing. The amount added per batch should be adjusted according to the power and mixing efficiency of the mixing equipment to avoid overloading the equipment or insufficient mixing. Existing segmented feeding systems typically have notches on the disc, with the notch capacity equal to the mass of material fed per batch. However, the size of these notches cannot be flexibly adjusted, making it inconvenient to adjust the mass of material fed per batch. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.
[0025] The components of the present invention embodiments described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.
[0026] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the integrated continuous processing and molding equipment for phase change materials proposed in this utility model includes a raw material supply system, a mixing system, a heating and melting system, a molding system, a cooling system, a cutting system, and a conveying system connected in sequence. The raw material supply system is used to store and accurately convey the phase change material and its additives (such as reinforcing agents, stabilizers, etc.). The mixing system uniformly mixes the phase change material and additives to ensure consistent material properties. The heating and melting system heats the mixed material to a molten state, facilitating subsequent molding. The molding system shapes the molten phase change material into the desired shape (such as sheets, granules, fibers, etc.) using molds. The cooling system rapidly cools the molded product, solidifying it and maintaining its shape. The cutting system cuts the cooled product into standard sizes or specific shapes. The conveying system automatically transports materials between processes, achieving continuous production.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the mixing system includes a material bin 1, and a stirring mechanism is installed inside the material bin 1. The stirring mechanism includes a second motor 4 fixedly installed on the material bin 1 and a rotating shaft 401 rotatably installed inside the material bin 1. A lifting spiral blade 402 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 401. The rotating shaft 401 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 4. The second motor can drive the lifting spiral blade 402 to rotate, and the rotating lifting spiral blade 402 can stir the material inside the material bin 1.
[0031] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, this embodiment also includes a feed pipe 101 fixedly installed on the material hopper 1. A material distribution module 2 is installed on the feed pipe 101. The material distribution module 2 separates the continuously conveyed materials and controls the mass of the materials entering the material hopper 1 each time. The material entering the material hopper 1 each time is adjusted according to the flowability of the materials and the stirring requirements. The material distribution module 2 includes a rotatable separator box with a notch. The separator box blocks the materials, but the materials can enter the notch. The mass of the materials entering the notch is the mass of the materials entering the material hopper 1 each time. The material distribution module 2 includes a housing 201 fixedly installed on the feed pipe 101. A conveying hole 202 is provided through the housing 201, and a separation hole 203 communicating with the conveying hole 202 is provided inside the housing 201.
[0032] Furthermore, the separator includes a circular tube 204 rotatably mounted within the separation hole 203. Two support plates 205 are rotatably mounted on the circular tube 204. A first elastic sheet 206 and a second elastic sheet 207 are respectively fixedly installed between the bottom and top of the two support plates 205. The notch is located between the two support plates 205, and the first elastic sheet 206 seals the bottom of the two support plates 205. By rotating the two support plates 205, the angle between the two support plates 205 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the size of the gap between the two support plates 205, and thus adjusting the size of the notch, thereby changing the quality of a single material feed.
[0033] When the two support plates 205 move closer or further apart, they will cause the second elastic plate 207 to retract, thus preventing the second elastic plate 207 from forming an effective seal with the separation hole 203. The two ends of the second elastic plate 207 are equipped with elastic sealing plates, forming a sealed space between the second elastic plate 207 and the round tube 204. By making the internal air pressure of the sealed space between the second elastic plate 207 and the round tube 204 greater than the atmospheric pressure, the second elastic plate 207 can always be pressed against the inside of the separation hole 203 under the action of the internal air pressure, thereby forming an effective seal and preventing materials from entering the material bin 1 through any path other than the notch.
[0034] In this embodiment, the material distribution module 2 further includes an adjustment component for controlling the size of the notch. The adjustment component includes a connecting plate 208 fixedly mounted on the support plate 205, the connecting plate 208 being rotatably connected to the circular tube 204, a slider 209 slidably mounted on the connecting plate 208, a connecting rod 210 rotatably mounted on the slider 209, a connecting block 211 rotatably mounted between the two connecting rods 210, and a push rod motor 212 fixedly mounted on the circular tube 204. The output shaft of the push rod motor 212 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 211. The push rod motor 212 can drive the connecting block 211 to move, and the moving connecting block 211 can push the connecting rod 210 to rotate. The rotating connecting rod 210 will push or pull the connecting plate 208 to rotate, thereby causing the two support plates 205 to rotate synchronously.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a first motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the casing 201, and a drive shaft 301 is rotatably mounted inside the casing 201. The drive shaft 301 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the circular tube 204 and coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 3. Through the transmission of the first motor 3 and the drive shaft 301, the circular tube 204 can be driven to rotate, thereby causing the separator box and the notch to rotate. By controlling the rotation speed of the first motor 3, the time interval of feeding from both sides can be controlled.
[0036] The chassis 201 is equipped with a flexible hose 6 that communicates with the conveying port 202. The flexible hose 6 is connected to the raw material supply system, and a good sealing connection can be achieved through the flexible hose 6 to achieve the effect of sealed material conveying. The material hopper 1 is equipped with a filter 5, which is connected to the interior of the material hopper 1. The filter 5 can prevent dust flying inside the material hopper 1 from being emitted into the industrial area.
[0037] Working principle: The push rod motor 212 can drive the connecting block 211 to move. The moving connecting block 211 can push the connecting rod 210 to rotate. The rotating connecting rod 210 will push or pull the connecting plate 208 to rotate, thereby driving the two support plates 205 to rotate synchronously.
[0038] The angle between the two support plates 205 can be adjusted by rotating them, thereby adjusting the gap between the two support plates 205 and the size of the notch, which in turn can change the quality of a single material feed.
[0039] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
