The right-angle die head of existing supercritical fluid blow molding machines is prone to causing bubble cell rupture during production, affecting product quality.
A single-layer foaming die head for a supercritical fluid foaming blow molding machine was designed. It adopts a structure combining an inner mandrel and an outer mandrel. By setting a V-shaped guide groove and an arc-shaped guide groove on the outer circumference of the inner mandrel, the rotational shear flow of the spiral flow channel is transformed into axial laminar flow. Furthermore, the shear stress is reduced by the limited flow channel cross-section design, forming a unidirectional pressure gradient.
It effectively reduces foam cell rupture, improves product quality and yield, and ensures the stability of the foaming process and the high quality of the product.

The feeding system is located in the feeding section of the twin-screw extruder. The air inlet valve is connected to the pressure pump and the melting section of the twin-screw extruder via a gas delivery pipe.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the following embodiments, so that the public can better understand the implementation method of this utility model. The specific implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows:
[0030] The supercritical fluid foaming blow molding machine single-layer foaming head includes a mounting plate 1. An outer mold body 2 is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the mounting plate 1. A lower mold nozzle 3 is located at the lower part of the outer mold body 2. An inner mold body 4 is located inside the lower mold nozzle 3. The inner mold body 4 is connected to a core-lifting rod 5 to drive the inner mold body 4 to move vertically. The core-lifting rod 5 is connected to a first power component 6. An inner core rod 7, a middle core rod 8, and an outer core rod 9 are sequentially fitted between the core-lifting rod 5 and the outer mold body 2 from the inside out. The upper ends of the inner core rod 7 and the middle core rod 8 are respectively connected to the mounting plate 1. The outer core rod 9 is fixedly connected to the second power component 10 so that it can slide vertically; the outer periphery of the inner core rod 7 is symmetrically provided with two V-shaped guide grooves 11, and the two ends of the two V-shaped guide grooves 11 are connected to each other, which transforms the rotational shear flow of the spiral flow channel into axial laminar flow, reduces bubble rupture, and improves product quality; the outer periphery of the inner core rod 7 above the V-shaped guide groove 11 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 12, which is connected to the end of the V-shaped guide groove 11, and is also provided with a feed port 13 connected to the arc-shaped guide groove 12.
[0031] Specifically, the arc-shaped guide channel 12 is deeper than the V-shaped guide channel 11. The bottom of the arc-shaped guide channel 12 has a sloping structure that transitions to the bottom of the V-shaped guide channel 11. By limiting the shape and size of the arc-shaped guide channel 12 and the V-shaped guide channel 11, a sudden change in the flow channel cross section is formed, which reduces shear stress and improves the quality of foaming.
[0032] It should be noted that the width of the arc-shaped guide groove 12 is greater than the width of the V-shaped guide groove 11. The depth of the V-shaped guide groove 11 gradually decreases to 0 from top to bottom. It adopts a cross-sectional design that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and deeper at the top and shallower at the bottom, to form a unidirectional pressure gradient and improve the product yield.
[0033] It should be noted that a sleeve 14 is fixedly arranged between the mounting plate 1 and the outer mold body 2. The sleeve 14 is fitted outside the intermediate core rod 8, and the outer core rod 9 is located at the lower part of the sleeve 14. The feed port 13 passes through the sleeve 14, the intermediate core rod 8 and is connected to the middle part of the arc-shaped guide groove 12. The molten material mixed with supercritical gas enters the arc-shaped guide groove 12 through the feed port 13.
[0034] Specifically, a fixed rod 15 connected to the second power component 10 is provided above the mounting plate 1. The second power component 10 is a discharge cylinder. A push rod 16 is fixedly provided on the output shaft of the discharge cylinder. The push rod 16 passes through the sleeve 14 and is connected to the outer core rod 9. The discharge cylinder is fixedly connected to the first power component 6, which is a wall thickness adjustment cylinder.
[0035] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows:
[0036] The molten material mixed with supercritical gas enters the arc-shaped guide channel 12 through the feed port 13. The molten material enters the V-shaped guide channel 11 through the arc-shaped guide channel 12, and then enters the storage bin. The wall thickness adjustment cylinder 6 is activated. The wall thickness adjustment cylinder 6 drives the inner mold body 4 to move through the core lifting rod. The material outlet between the inner mold body 4 and the lower mold nozzle 3 is opened. The discharge cylinder 10 is activated. The discharge cylinder 10 drives the outer core rod 9 through the push rod 16 to extrude the foamed molten material through the material outlet into the mold.
