This allows for quick and convenient replacement of the color paste. Attached Figure Description
[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the quick-change color paste supply device for the foaming line described in this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0012] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0013] like Figure 1 As shown, the quick-change color paste supply device for a foaming line includes: a frame 1, on which a metering pump 2 and a geared motor 3 are mounted. The metering pump 2 is driven by the geared motor 3, and its outlet is connected to the inlet of a color paste supply pipeline 4. A pressure gauge 5, a color paste filter 6, and a color paste flow meter 7 are mounted on the color paste supply pipeline 4. The outlet of the color paste supply pipeline 4 is connected to the mixing head of a foaming machine. Three moving units 8 are also provided. Each moving unit 8 includes: a pushable trolley 9, on which a color paste tank 10 is mounted. A manual feeding funnel 11, a safety valve 12, a temperature probe 13, and a motor 14 are mounted on the top of the color paste tank 10. A [missing information - likely a device name or component] is installed inside the color paste tank 10. A stirring shaft 15 with stirring blades is driven to rotate by a motor 14. A manual feeding funnel 11 is connected to a color paste tank 10 through a pipe with a manual valve. A discharge pipe 16 with a manual valve is provided at the bottom of the color paste tank 10 for discharging color paste. One end of the discharge pipe 16 is fixedly connected to one end of a hose 17. The other end of the hose 17 is equipped with part A of a quick connector. Part B of a quick connector is installed on the inlet of the metering pump 2. The hose 17 in each moving unit 8 can be connected to the inlet of the metering pump 2 by plugging in parts A and B of the quick connector. The quick connector is a common quick-plug connector, usually composed of parts A and B.
[0014] In this embodiment, a plurality of vertical baffles 18 are provided on the inner sidewall of the color paste tank 10, and each baffle 18 is arranged around the axis of the color paste tank 10. The baffles 18 can make the color paste be stirred more evenly.
[0015] Motor 14 is a pneumatic motor. It was changed from an electric motor because electric motors operate at higher voltages, and frequent disconnection and reconnection of the power supply poses a risk of electric shock. The casters of the trolley 9 are equipped with brakes. When the stirring shaft in the color paste tank 10 rotates, it generates vibration; the brakes stop the trolley. An air inlet 19 for introducing high-pressure air into the color paste tank 10 is also provided at the top.
[0016] During operation, the required pigment paste is manually fed into the pigment paste tank 10 of a moving unit 8 via the feeding funnel 11. The moving unit 8 is then moved to the side of the frame 1. The air inlet 19 and motor 14 on the moving unit 8 are then connected to the corresponding air source next to the frame 1. The hose 17 on the pigment paste tank 10 is connected to the inlet of the metering pump 2 on the frame 1 via quick-connect fittings (parts A and B). After the motor 14 is connected to the air source, it drives the stirring shaft 15 with stirring blades to stir the pigment paste in the pigment paste tank 10. Connecting the air inlet 19 to the air source creates a high-pressure environment in the pigment paste tank, allowing... The metering pump can more easily extract the color paste. When the pressure in the color paste tank 10 is too high, it can be discharged through the safety valve 12. The metering pump 2, driven by the geared motor 3, can extract the color paste in the color paste tank 10 and then supply it to the mixing head of the foaming machine through the color paste supply pipeline 4. When the color paste needs to be replaced, there is no need to clean the original color paste. Just pre-load the new color paste into the color paste tank 10 of another moving unit 8, and then replace the moving unit 8 containing the old color paste with the moving unit 8 containing the new color paste to complete the color paste replacement. After adopting the foaming line quick-change color paste supply device, the color paste can be replaced quickly and conveniently.
