[0035] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a polyurethane foam spraying device includes: an A-material storage tank 1, a B-material storage tank 2, a cleaning fluid storage tank 3, an electrical control cabinet 4, an A-material pump 5, a B-material pump 6, an air pump 7, a diesel generator 8, a base 9, and a mounting frame 11. The mounting frame 11 is mounted on the base 9, and the A-material storage tank 1, B-material storage tank 2, cleaning fluid storage tank 3, and electrical control cabinet 4 are mounted on the mounting frame 11. The A-material pump 5, B-material pump 6, air pump 7, and diesel generator 8 are mounted on the base 9. An A-material pipeline 13 is connected to the A-material storage tank 1, and a ball valve 16, the A-material pump 5, and a check valve 17 are sequentially installed on the A-material pipeline 13. The B-material storage tank... The tank 2 is connected to a B material pipeline 14, which is equipped with a ball valve 16, a B material pump 6, and a check valve 17 in sequence. The cleaning fluid storage tank 3 is connected to the A material pipeline 13 and the B material pipeline 14 through the cleaning fluid pipeline 15. The cleaning fluid pipeline is connected between the ball valve and the A material pump, and between the ball valve and the B material pump. The cleaning fluid pipeline 15 is equipped with a cleaning fluid pump and a ball valve 16. The A material pipeline 13 and the B material pipeline 14 intersect to form a mixing pipeline 18. The air pump 7 is connected to the mixing pipeline 18, which is also connected to a foam gun 19. The diesel generator 8 provides power to the electrical control cabinet 4, the A material pump 5, the B material pump 6, and the air pump 7.
[0036] The mixing pipeline can also be connected to the cleaning fluid storage tank via the return pipeline, so that the cleaning fluid flows back to the cleaning fluid storage tank; if the viscosity of the liquid increases significantly, the cleaning fluid can be discharged directly and replaced.
[0037] For example, the side walls of the material A storage tank, material B storage tank, and cleaning fluid storage tank are all equipped with a thermal insulation system. The thermal insulation system includes an insulation layer and a heating layer arranged from the outside to the inside of the outer side wall of the tank. The side walls of the material A storage tank, material B storage tank, and cleaning fluid storage tank are also equipped with a temperature control system for controlling the heating temperature of the heating layer. The temperature control system is electrically connected to the diesel generator 8. The thermal insulation system is used to maintain a constant temperature for the stored liquids, preventing temperature changes from affecting the foaming effect.
[0038] The insulation layer uses high-efficiency, low-thermal-conductivity insulation material to wrap around the A material storage tank, B material storage tank and cleaning fluid storage tank, forming a complete thermal insulation layer to effectively isolate the influence of external temperature on A material, B material and cleaning fluid, and reduce heat loss.
[0039] Specifically, the heating layer consists of an electric heating strip or electric heating tube wrapped around the outer wall of the chamber. The temperature control system automatically adjusts the heating power of the heating device according to the actual temperatures of material A, material B, and the cleaning solution, ensuring that the temperature remains within the set storage range.
[0040] Specifically, the A material pipeline 13, the B material pipeline 14, and the cleaning fluid pipeline 15 are all equipped with pipeline heating mechanisms, which are connected to the temperature control system.
[0041] More specifically, pipeline heat tracing systems include electric heat tracing tapes wrapped around the various pipelines.
[0042] When the temperature of the liquid inside the pipe is lower than the preset value, the electric heating tape will automatically activate its heating function. Heat is transferred to the pipe via the heating tape to ensure the liquid or gas remains at the ideal flow temperature. If the temperature is too high, the system automatically adjusts its output power to prevent overheating. The temperature control system and sensors ensure precise control throughout the process, achieving optimal heating results.
[0043] For example, the lower surface of the base 9 is provided with a roller 12, and the base 9 is also provided with a pusher 10.
[0044] Specifically, the roller 12 is a universal roller 12 with a brake. The roller can easily move the device to the required position, and the handle can easily push the device.
[0045] Specifically, the A-material storage box is used to store the A-material required for polyurethane foaming, which is usually an isocyanate component. The storage box needs to have a suitable storage environment to ensure the stability of the A-material at a reasonable temperature.
[0046] The B-component storage box is used to store the B-component required for polyurethane foaming, which is usually a polyol component. The storage box also needs to be equipped with corresponding insulation and temperature control devices to maintain the stability of the B-component.
[0047] The cleaning fluid storage tank is used to store cleaning fluid for cleaning pipes, nozzles, and other components after use, preventing blockages and equipment damage.
[0048] The electrical control cabinet is used to control the operation of the entire unit, including the A-material insulation system, the B-material insulation system, the cleaning fluid insulation system, and the pipeline heat tracing mechanism. The cabinet contains an intelligent control system that can automatically adjust the system's operating status and perform functions such as temperature control and pressure regulation as needed.
[0049] When a liquid hazardous chemical leaks, the operator activates the device, and the system automatically adjusts the operating status of each component. Components A and B are delivered to the mixing pipeline via pumps A and B, and mixed with gas supplied by the air pump to form polyurethane foam. Under the action of the air pump, the mixture is sprayed onto the leak site through the nozzle of the foam gun, quickly forming a solid dam to contain the leaking liquid. The protective layer formed by the polyurethane foam effectively limits the flow and spread of the leaked liquid, reducing the extent of fire spread.
[0050] Working principle:
[0051] Normal spraying: Start the air pump. After the airflow stabilizes or the start-up time is greater than 2 minutes, start the A material pump and the B material pump at the same time. The A material and the B material are mixed with the air separately, and then they are combined and sprayed out.
[0052] Cleaning: Close the valves of material A storage tank and material B storage tank, start the cleaning fluid pump, and pump the cleaning fluid into material A pipeline and material B pipeline. After cleaning, the liquid flows back to the cleaning fluid storage tank. If the viscosity of the liquid increases significantly, drain the cleaning fluid and replace it.
[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
