Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of polyurethane material packaging technology, specifically to an oxygen isolation structure used in the polyurethane packaging process. Background Technology
[0002] Polyurethane materials are widely used in the packaging of food, pharmaceutical, electronic, and industrial products due to their excellent thermal insulation properties, mechanical strength, and chemical stability. During the polyurethane foaming process, the presence of oxygen significantly affects the material's curing reaction.
[0003] Currently, when the polyurethane material mixed in the reactor is loaded into barrels, it is inevitable that the polyurethane material will come into contact with air, which will cause the polyurethane to oxidize, resulting in a darker color, abnormal viscosity, and decreased mechanical properties, thus affecting the material properties of the polyurethane material. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides an oxygen isolation structure for polyurethane packaging processes. This structure offers advantages such as synergistic protection with inert gases, ensuring oxygen-free contact of polyurethane materials throughout the entire process from the reactor to the packaging drum, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an oxygen isolation structure for polyurethane packaging processes, comprising a foundation, a reaction vessel body fixedly connected to the upper surface of the foundation, a conveying pipe fixedly installed on the outside of the reaction vessel body, a support fixedly connected to the upper surface of the foundation, a packaging barrel disposed inside the support, a fixing sleeve fixedly connected to the inner side of the support, a sliding tube slidably connected inside the fixing sleeve, a fixing pressure plate fixedly connected to one end of the sliding tube, an insert tube fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing pressure plate, and a first [missing information - likely a component or element] fixedly connected to the inner side of the support. The first hydraulic cylinder has a fixed plate fixedly connected to its output end. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding tube. A second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly embedded in the upper surface of the bracket. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to a mounting plate. An inert gas supply pipe is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting plate. A vacuum pump is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate. A suction pipe is fixedly connected to the suction end of the vacuum pump. The outer side of the suction pipe is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting plate. A pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the suction pipe. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to an external control.
[0006] The above solution establishes a sealed material delivery channel by setting up a delivery pipe and a fixed sleeve, ensuring that the polyurethane is delivered into the fixed sleeve and sliding pipe without oxygen contact. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder drives the fixed plate to move the fixed pressure plate, causing the insertion tube to be inserted into the packaging barrel, thus isolating the polyurethane material from the outside air during delivery. Simultaneously, the second hydraulic cylinder drives the mounting plate to move, forming an inert gas delivery pipe and a vacuum pump to create a coordinated inert gas delivery and negative pressure suction system, achieving an oxygen-free environment throughout the filling process and solving the problem of polyurethane oxidation and deterioration. In addition, the pressure sensor on the suction pipe monitors the changes in air pressure in the packaging barrel in real time. Then, the external controller, based on the pressure data from the pressure sensor, adjusts the suction power of the vacuum pump to ensure that the internal pressure of the packaging barrel remains stable and prevents deformation.
[0007] Furthermore, the material conveying pipe and the fixed sleeve are fixedly connected by a flange.
[0008] The above-mentioned flange-type rigid connection method strengthens the connection strength between the conveying pipe and the fixed sleeve, and avoids the decrease in airtightness caused by interface deformation during material conveying.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed sleeve, the inner side of the sealing ring is in contact with the outer side of the sliding tube, and a first sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed pressure plate.
[0010] The above solution creates a dynamic sealing layer by setting a sliding contact surface between the sealing ring and the sliding tube, which, together with the secondary sealing of the first sealing gasket at the fixed pressure plate, constructs a double airtight barrier to ensure the sealing of the connection between the two when the tube is inserted into the packaging barrel.
[0011] Furthermore, a second sealing gasket is fitted on the outer side of the inert gas transmission pipe, and a third sealing gasket is fitted on the outer side of the extraction pipe. The outer sides of both the second and third sealing gaskets are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate.
[0012] Through the above scheme, the second sealing gasket's wrap-around seal on the inert gas delivery pipe and the third sealing gasket's annular seal on the extraction pipe form a cross-protection, preventing external oxygen from entering the interior of the packaging barrel.
[0013] Furthermore, one end of the inert gas delivery pipe is fixedly connected to a gas delivery hose, and the outlet end of the vacuum pump is fixedly connected to an exhaust hose.
[0014] Through the above scheme, the air supply hose and exhaust hose connected to the second sealing gasket and the vacuum pump are made to ensure that they are always in close connection with the second sealing gasket and the vacuum pump when the second hydraulic cylinder pushes the mounting plate to move up and down.
[0015] Furthermore, a groove is formed on the upper surface of the foundation, and a trolley is installed inside the groove, with the bottom of the packaging barrel placed on the upper surface of the trolley.
[0016] The above-mentioned solution allows for easy movement of the packaging barrels, making it convenient for staff to adjust their positions.
[0017] Furthermore, two symmetrical guide grooves are formed on the inner side of the empty groove, and the outer surface of the trolley is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide grooves.
[0018] Through the above solution, the trolley in the empty slot and the guide slot work together to realize the movement and positioning of the packaging barrel, which facilitates the adjustment of the packaging barrel's position, reduces manual adjustment and improves work efficiency.
[0019] Furthermore, a steel structure frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the foundation, four circumferentially arrayed support blocks are fixedly connected to the outer side of the reactor body, and the outer side of the support blocks is fixedly connected to the outer side of the steel structure frame. The outer side of the reactor body is fixedly connected to the inner side of the steel structure frame, and a feed pipe is fixedly installed on the outer side of the reactor body.
[0020] The above scheme uses a space truss system constructed by setting up a steel frame and support blocks to ensure the stability of the main structure of the reactor.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] This oxygen isolation structure for polyurethane packaging processes forms a sealed conveying channel through a conveying pipe and a fixed sleeve, ensuring that the polyurethane is free from oxygen contact after being conveyed into the fixed sleeve and sliding pipe. Then, a first hydraulic cylinder drives a fixed plate to move a fixed pressure plate, inserting a tube into the packaging barrel to isolate the polyurethane material from external air during conveying. Simultaneously, a second hydraulic cylinder drives an installation plate to move, forming an inert gas conveying pipe and a vacuum pump, creating a coordinated inert gas conveying and negative pressure suction system. This achieves an oxygen-free environment throughout the filling process, solving the problem of polyurethane oxidation and deterioration. Furthermore, a pressure sensor on the suction pipe monitors real-time pressure changes in the packaging barrel. An external controller then uses the pressure data from the pressure sensor to adjust the vacuum pump's suction power, ensuring stable internal pressure and preventing deformation of the packaging barrel.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 By setting up a sealed conveying channel between the conveying pipe 3 and the fixed sleeve 6, it is ensured that the polyurethane is not exposed to oxygen after being conveyed into the fixed sleeve 6 and the sliding pipe 7. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 10 drives the fixed plate 11 to move the fixed pressure plate 8 so that the insertion tube 9 is inserted into the packaging barrel 5, thus isolating the polyurethane material from the outside air during conveying.

[0035] This embodiment provides an oxygen isolation structure for polyurethane packaging. By setting up a sealed conveying channel between the conveying pipe 3 and the fixed sleeve 6, it ensures that the polyurethane is not exposed to oxygen after being conveyed into the fixed sleeve 6 and the sliding pipe 7. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 10 drives the fixed plate 11 to move the fixed pressure plate 8 so that its insertion tube 9 is inserted into the packaging barrel 5, thus isolating the polyurethane material from the outside air during conveying. At the same time, the second hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the mounting plate 15 to move, so that its inert gas conveying pipe 16 and vacuum pump 18 form an inert gas conveying and negative pressure suction coordinated system, realizing an oxygen-free environment throughout the filling process and solving the problem of polyurethane oxidation and deterioration. In addition, the pressure sensor 20 on the suction pipe 19 monitors the pressure changes of the packaging barrel 5 in real time. Then, the external controller, based on the pressure data of the pressure sensor 20, adjusts the suction power of the vacuum pump 18 to ensure that the internal pressure of the packaging barrel 5 remains stable and avoids deformation.
[0036] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: First, the packaging barrel 5 is placed on the trolley 24. Then, the trolley 24 is pushed to move to the inside of the bracket 4, so that the insertion tube 9, the inert gas delivery tube 16, and the suction tube 19 are connected to the connection hole on the packaging barrel 5. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 10 drives the fixing plate 11 to drive the sliding tube 7 to drive the fixing pressure plate 8 to insert the insertion tube 9 into the inside of the packaging barrel 5. At the same time as insertion, the first sealing gasket 12 seals the connection between the packaging barrel 5 and the insertion tube 9. Then, the second hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the mounting plate 15 to insert the inert gas delivery tube 16 and the suction tube 19 into the inside of the packaging barrel 5. The second sealing gasket 17 and the third sealing gasket 21 compress and seal the connection with the packaging barrel 5. After sealing, the vacuum pump 18 is driven to remove oxygen from the inside of the packaging barrel 5. At the same time, inert gas is delivered to the inside of the packaging barrel 5 through the gas delivery hose to the inert gas delivery pipe 16, so that the inside of the packaging barrel 5 is filled with inert gas. Finally, when the polyurethane material is delivered to the inside of the packaging barrel 5 from the delivery pipe 3, the fixed sleeve 6, the sliding pipe 7, and the insertion pipe 9, the inert gas can protect the polyurethane material and prevent the material from contacting oxygen. At this time, the pressure inside the packaging barrel 5 changes while the material is being delivered. At this time, the pressure sensor 20 can monitor the pressure in real time. At this time, the vacuum pump 18 can extract the gas inside the packaging barrel 5 to keep the pressure inside the packaging barrel 5 at a constant normal pressure.
