Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elastomer technology, specifically to a supercritical foamed elastomer drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Supercritical elastomers are hygroscopic, and residual moisture can lead to uneven bubble distribution or pore wall rupture during foaming under high temperature and pressure. Drying the matrix can enhance the dissolution and diffusion capacity of supercritical CO2 / N2 in the polymer and shorten the saturation impregnation time. However, if the raw materials of supercritical elastomers contain foreign matter or agglomerated particles, uneven heating or local degradation can easily occur without sieving, reducing the purity of the material. Uneven particle size can also lead to inconsistent heat transfer and escape efficiency during the drying process, reducing the drying effect. Utility Model Content

The raw material passes through the screen frame 4 and is stirred by the transmission structure and heated and dried by the electric heating wire layer, so that the heating is uniform. When the valve is opened, the discharge pipe 7 can be connected to a pipe. The screened raw material can be collected from the discharge pipe and arranged to enter the equipment for the subsequent foaming process. The motor is started, driving the bottom transmission shaft 61 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 62 to stir the screened raw material. At the same time, it drives the top rotating shaft 63 to rotate, causing the slider 32 to squeeze the spring 31. Thus, the slider 32 moves laterally within the fixed frame 34.

The main slider 65 squeezes the main spring 66 within the positioning frame 60. Within the positioning frame 60, the motor also moves left and right with the protective sleeve 64.
