Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foam molding machine technology, specifically to a foam molding machine with rapid cooling function. Background Technology

[0002] The pearl cotton foaming molding machine is a key piece of equipment used to produce polyethylene (EPE) foamed materials. It uses a physical foaming process to mix low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resin with a foaming agent (such as butane), and after heating, plasticizing, extrusion, and foaming, it forms pearl cotton material with lightweight, impact-resistant, and heat-insulating properties.

[0003] The main working process of the pearl cotton foam molding machine includes the addition, mixing, plasticizing and melting, foaming, and cooling and shaping of raw materials. During the production process, after the raw materials are mixed and plasticized and melted by the screw barrel, they are mixed with foaming agents such as butane injected under high pressure to form foam, which is then extruded through the die head. The extruded foam needs to be cooled in the cooling section to solidify and shape it.

[0004] Currently, many EPE foam molding machines use simple fans for cooling. However, fan cooling is slow and cannot meet the needs of high-efficiency production. Furthermore, the cooling effect of fans is not uniform enough, which may cause local overheating or undercooling of EPE products during the cooling process, affecting the consistency of product quality. Relying solely on fan cooling makes it difficult to accurately control the cooling temperature and cannot meet the production requirements of EPE with different thicknesses and specifications.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a foam molding machine with rapid cooling function includes a foam molding machine 1; a conveying roller 3 is provided on the side end of the foam molding machine 1; pearl cotton 2 is rotatably connected to the conveying roller 3; a water mist cooler 4 is provided on the side end of the conveying roller 3, and a water pump and a spray head are installed inside the water mist cooler 4; a frame plate 5 is provided on the side end of the water mist cooler 4; a first cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the frame plate 5; a heater 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first cylinder 6; a water-absorbing cotton block 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the heater 7; a heating wire 8 is fixedly connected inside the water-absorbing cotton block 9 at the bottom end of the heater 7; the water-absorbing cotton block 9 is located on the side close to the pearl cotton 2.

[0020] During operation, after the foaming molding machine 1 produces pearl cotton 2, the rotation of the conveying roller 3 transports the pearl cotton 2. The water mist cooler 4 stores water, which is atomized and sprayed onto the surface of the pearl cotton 2 by a water pump and spray head, which can improve the cooling effect of the pearl cotton 2. However, some water droplets will remain on the surface of the pearl cotton 2. The pearl cotton 2 is transported to the frame plate 5 by the conveying roller 3. The first cylinder 6 moves the water-absorbing cotton block 9 downward, so that the water-absorbing cotton block 9 comes into contact with the surface of the pearl cotton 2. The water-absorbing cotton block 9 can absorb the excess water of the pearl cotton 2. The heater 7 can heat the heating wire 8 at a high temperature. The high temperature of the heating wire 8 can evaporate the water in the water-absorbing cotton block 9, so that the water-absorbing cotton block 9 can always be kept in a dry state and can continuously absorb water from the pearl cotton 2.

[0021] The conveying roller 3 and the water mist cooler 4 are directly connected to a heat dissipation box 10; a motor 11 is fixedly connected inside the heat dissipation box 10; a first rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11; a fan blade 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the first rotating rod 12; a first belt 14 is rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 12; a second rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected inside the heat dissipation box 10, and the second rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected to the first belt 14; a second belt 16 is rotatably connected above the second rotating rod 15.

[0022] The pearl cotton 2 is conveyed to one side of the heat dissipation box 10 by the conveying roller 3. The motor 11 causes the first rotating rod 12 to rotate, which in turn causes the fan blade 13 to rotate. The rotation of the fan blade 13 generates airflow to cool the pearl cotton 2. With the help of the water mist cooler 4, the cooling speed of the pearl cotton 2 can be improved. The rotation of the first rotating rod 12 causes the first belt 14 to rotate, which in turn causes the second rotating rod 15 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating rod 15 causes the second belt 16 to rotate as well. The rotation of the second belt 16 can drive the other sets of first rotating rods 12 and fan blades 13 to rotate, which can cool the upper and lower ends of the pearl cotton 2 without the need for multiple motors to operate.

[0023] The side end of the water mist cooler 4 is fixedly connected to a second cylinder 17; the side end of the second cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to an electric clamp 18, which is located on the side close to the pearl cotton 2.

[0024] During the conveying process of the conveying roller 3, the position of the pearl cotton 2 may be offset. When the position of the pearl cotton 2 is offset, the electric clamp 18 clamps the pearl cotton 2, and then the second cylinder 17 corrects the position. After the position of the pearl cotton 2 is corrected, the electric clamp 18 releases the pearl cotton 2, which makes it convenient to perform the correction operation of the pearl cotton 2.

[0025] The bottom of the frame 5 is provided with multiple sets of absorbent cotton blocks 9; the top and bottom ends of the pearl cotton 2 are both provided with absorbent cotton blocks 9.

[0026] The absorbent cotton blocks 9 can absorb excess moisture from the surface of the pearl cotton 2. There is moisture on both the top and bottom surfaces of the pearl cotton 2, and absorbent cotton blocks 9 are provided at both the top and bottom surfaces of the pearl cotton 2. The absorbent cotton blocks 9 can absorb moisture from the pearl cotton 2. Multiple sets of absorbent cotton blocks 9 are provided at the bottom of the rack plate 5. After a set of absorbent cotton blocks 9 absorbs moisture for a period of time, the first set of absorbent cotton blocks 9 is moved away from the pearl cotton 2 by the first cylinder 6, and the second set of absorbent cotton blocks 9 is activated to carry out the drying process, so as to avoid the absorbent cotton blocks 9 absorbing moisture for a long time and affecting the drying effect.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During operation, after the foaming molding machine 1 produces pearl cotton 2, the rotation of the conveying roller 3 transports the pearl cotton 2. The water mist cooler 4 stores water, which is atomized and sprayed onto the surface of the pearl cotton 2 via a water pump and spray head, improving the cooling effect. However, some water droplets remain on the surface of the pearl cotton 2. The pearl cotton 2 is conveyed to the rack plate 5 by the conveying roller 3. The first cylinder 6 moves the absorbent cotton block 9 downwards, bringing it into contact with the surface of the pearl cotton 2. The absorbent cotton block 9 absorbs excess moisture from the pearl cotton 2. The heater 7 heats the heating wire 8 at a high temperature, which evaporates the moisture in the absorbent cotton block 9, keeping it dry and continuously absorbing moisture from the pearl cotton 2. The pearl cotton 2 is then transported to one side of the heat dissipation box 10 by the conveying roller 3. The motor 11 rotates the first rotating rod 12. The rotation of the fan blades 13 causes the fan blades 13 to rotate, which in turn generates airflow to cool the pearl cotton 2. Combined with the water mist cooler 4, this increases the cooling speed of the pearl cotton 2. The rotation of the first rotating rod 12 causes the first belt 14 to rotate, which in turn causes the second rotating rod 15 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating rod 15 causes the second belt 16 to rotate as well. The rotation of the second belt 16 drives the other sets of first rotating rods 12 and fan blades 13 to rotate, thus providing air cooling to both ends of the pearl cotton 2 without requiring multiple motors for output. During the conveying process of the pearl cotton 2 by the conveying roller 3, the pearl cotton 2 may experience positional deviation. When this happens, the pearl cotton 2 is clamped by the electric clamp 18, and then corrected by the second cylinder 17. After the position is corrected, the electric clamp 18 releases the pearl cotton 2, facilitating the correction operation.

[0028] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
