Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a production equipment for superabsorbent polymer products, and more particularly to an artificial snow production device with a bidirectional heating structure. Background Technology

[0002] Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) artificial snow is a simulated snow material made by mixing superabsorbent polymer with water, widely used in decoration, film and television special effects, and educational experiments. The main raw material of this artificial snow material is superabsorbent polymer (such as sodium polyacrylate), which has an extremely strong water absorption capacity. It expands rapidly upon contact with water, increasing in volume hundreds of times to form a fluffy, snow-like substance. In the production process of colored artificial snow, water-based ink is applied to the surface of the sodium polyacrylate snow flakes to form a milky white coating, temporarily masking the color of the artificial snow. Upon contact with water, the milky white coating composed of water-based ink becomes transparent. Commonly used production equipment employs a rotary stirring structure, which makes the solution addition process inconvenient. Furthermore, the drying process requires a certain amount of time, easily causing the sodium polyacrylate material to clump, affecting the performance of the finished artificial snow. Therefore, it is necessary to design an artificial snow production device to overcome these shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an artificial snow production device with a bidirectional heating structure to improve production efficiency and enhance product quality.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] An artificial snow production device with a bidirectional heating structure, comprising:

[0006] A carrier assembly component having an assembly space;

[0007] The raw material holding component is installed in the bearing assembly component via a rotating structure and can rotate in the bearing assembly component. It has a holding space for placing artificial snow raw material, and the artificial snow raw material is stirred and mixed by the raw material holding component.

[0008] An ink application assembly is installed in a support assembly assembly. It is connected to an ink supply device via a pipeline and cooperates with a raw material receiving assembly. The ink supply device supplies ink to the ink application assembly, and the ink application assembly applies ink to the artificial snow raw material in the raw material receiving assembly, so that the ink and the artificial snow raw material are mixed together.

[0009] An inner heating component is installed in the supporting assembly and corresponds to the inner position of the raw material receiving component. The inner heating component heats the inner side of the raw material receiving component and the artificial snow raw material carried by the raw material receiving component.

[0010] An outer heating component is installed in the carrier assembly via a movable connection structure and corresponds to the outer position of the raw material receiving component. The relative position of the outer heating component and the raw material receiving component can be adjusted in the carrier assembly, and the artificial snow raw material carried by the outer heating component and the outer side of the raw material receiving component are heated.

[0011] Specifically, the load-bearing assembly components include:

[0012] A carrier substrate is arranged laterally, and its bottom is provided with adjustable support feet to adjust the height of the carrier substrate.

[0013] An assembly frame is formed by the enclosure of rods and plates. It is installed on the top of the support base plate and extends upwards from the support base plate.

The spindle passes through the assembly slope and extends into the assembly frame. It works with a drive motor through a transmission structure. The drive motor drives the container to rotate, and the container carries the artificial snow materials inside for mixing. Because the bottom of the container is arranged at an angle, the rotation can cause the artificial snow materials to be thrown up and then fall down, resulting in a better mixing effect.

[0016] The ink application assembly includes:

[0017] The application hose is provided in pairs, each of which is installed in the assembly frame. Its inner end is connected to the ink supply equipment through a pipeline, and its outer end extends into the inside of the container.

[0019] An inner air duct is installed in the assembly frame. Its inner end is connected to a hot air blower inside the assembly frame, and its outer end extends into the inner side of the container tank. The inner air duct heats the inner side of the container tank and the artificial snow material carried by the container tank.

[0020] The outer heating assembly includes:

[0021] A transverse beam is installed on the side of the assembly frame via connectors. It is located below the receiving tank and is arranged transversely. An assembly opening extending vertically is provided at the end of the transverse beam.

[0022] A vertical column is located between the receiving tank and the transverse beam, with its bottom extending into the assembly opening, and its position can be adjusted vertically within the assembly opening.

[0023] The locking pin is screwed into the side of the transverse beam frame through a threaded structure and abuts against the vertical column. The locking pin is used to position the vertical column.

[0024] The heating arc plate is located below the container tank and is attached to the top of the vertical column. Its installation position can be adjusted along with the vertical column. It is equipped with heating wires connected to the power supply. The heating arc plate heats the outside of the container tank and the artificial snow material carried by the container tank. The distance between the heating arc plate and the container tank can be adjusted as needed to achieve different heating effects.

[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, the ink application assembly further includes:

[0026] The drain valve is provided in pairs, with each drain valve installed at the joint between the application hose and the assembly frame. It is a manual valve, and the drain valve switches the on / off state of the application hose. The drain valve is generally in the normally open state during the artificial snow production process.

[0027] The liquid inlet valve is provided in pairs. Each liquid inlet valve is installed on the side of the assembly frame and located in the pipeline between the drain valve and the ink supply equipment. It is a solenoid valve. The liquid inlet valve switches the on / off state of the pipeline between the drain valve and the ink supply equipment. The liquid inlet valve can be in a normally closed state or a normally open state during the artificial snow production process.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the ink application assembly further includes:

[0029] The switching buttons are provided in pairs, each installed on the top of the assembly frame and connected to the liquid inlet valve via control lines. The switching buttons switch the on / off state of the liquid inlet valve. When the liquid inlet valve is normally closed, the switching buttons can be operated to randomly open the liquid inlet valve, allowing the application hose to apply ink to the artificial snow material in the container, so that the colored artificial snow is covered by a milky white coating composed of water-based ink.

[0030] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0031] The bidirectional heating structure of the inner and outer heating components of this artificial snow production device can simultaneously heat both the inner and outer sides of the raw material container, ensuring that the artificial snow raw material is heated evenly during the mixing process, thus improving production efficiency and product quality. The outer heating component can adjust the distance between the heating arc plate and the container tank through a movable connection structure to achieve different heating effects, further enhancing the flexibility and applicability of the device. The ink application component, through the cooperation of the application hose and ink supply equipment, can apply ink to the artificial snow raw material, so that the colored artificial snow is wrapped in a milky white coating composed of water-based ink. When it comes into contact with water, the milky white coating becomes transparent, allowing the color of the artificial snow to show through, which helps to enhance the visual appeal of the artificial snow.
