Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foam processing technology, and in particular to a foam forming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Foam is a material made by foaming plastic particles. Due to its advantages such as elasticity, light weight, quick pressure-sensitive fixing, ease of use, flexibility, ultra-thin thickness, and reliable performance, it can be widely used in industries such as sofas, mattresses, clothing, and soft packaging.

[0003] Driven by conservation and environmental protection requirements, some manufacturers collect substandard materials and defective products from foam production. This collected foam is then crushed, mixed with adhesive, and molded again using molding equipment to produce compliant foam, thus achieving recycling. However, the expansion of the material within the mold cavity of the molding equipment often results in inconsistent heights at the top. After demolding, the uneven material requires further cutting at the top, impacting efficiency and generating additional waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a foam forming device to solve the above problems.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model first provides a foam forming equipment, which includes a mounting base, a forming barrel, a fixing frame, a barrel cover, a connecting plate and a floating plate.

[0007] The forming barrel is placed inside the mounting base; the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base, and a first lifting cylinder and a second lifting cylinder are installed inside the fixing frame. The first lifting cylinder is connected to a first output shaft facing downward toward the forming barrel, and the second lifting cylinder is connected to a second output shaft facing downward; the barrel lid is connected to the end of the first output shaft and is used to seal the forming barrel; the connecting plate is connected to the end of the second output shaft, and the second output shaft passes through the barrel lid, so that the connecting plate is arranged parallel to the bottom of the barrel lid; the float plate is vertically connected to the bottom of the connecting plate through a connecting rod that penetrates the connecting plate, and a spring is sleeved on the connecting rod, so that the spring is clamped between the float plate and the connecting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the number of connecting rods is four, and the four connecting rods are symmetrically arranged around the center of the float.

[0009] Preferably, a pressure sensor is provided on the float plate.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting plate and the float plate are of equal size, and the connecting plate and the float plate are circular plates smaller than the area of ​​the bucket lid.

[0011] Preferably, the outer periphery of the bucket lid is provided with an elastic washer, and the connecting plate is provided with a through hole.

[0012] Preferably, the top end of the connecting rod extends outward, and the top end is larger than the size of the through hole through the connecting plate.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with a lifting slide rail, a drive motor for driving the lifting slide rail, and a lifting platform connected to the lifting slide rail, and the forming barrel is placed on the lifting platform.

[0014] The technical effects achieved by this utility model include:

[0015] Based on the above-mentioned foam forming equipment, the float plate can float on top of the material in the forming barrel and press the material under the elastic action of the spring between it and the connecting plate. The second lifting cylinder can drive the connecting plate through the second output shaft, thereby adjusting the overall height of the connecting plate and the float plate, ensuring that the float plate is located at the top of the material and can press the material by compressing the spring. This allows the top of the material to remain flat after forming, reducing the amount of leftover material after subsequent cutting by the foam cutting equipment, saving costs, eliminating the need for secondary recycling of the leftover material after forming and cutting, saving processes, and improving work efficiency.

[0016] This foam forming equipment has a simple structure and low overall cost, making it suitable for many small foam processing enterprises. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Examples of these preferred embodiments are illustrated in the drawings. The embodiments of this utility model shown in and described with reference to the drawings are merely exemplary, and this utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0028] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution according to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related are omitted.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a foam forming device, which includes a mounting base 1, a forming barrel 2, a fixing frame 3, a barrel cover 4, a connecting plate 5, and a floating plate 6.

[0030] The molding barrel 2 is placed inside the mounting base 1; the fixing frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 1, and a first lifting cylinder 31 and a second lifting cylinder 32 are installed inside the fixing frame 3. The first lifting cylinder 31 is connected to a first output shaft facing downward toward the molding barrel 1, and the second lifting cylinder 32 is connected to a second output shaft facing downward; the barrel cover 4 is connected to the end of the first output shaft and is used to cover the molding barrel 2; the connecting plate 5 is connected to the end of the second output shaft, and the second output shaft passes through the barrel cover 4, so that the connecting plate 5 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the barrel cover 4; the float 6 is movably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 5 through the connecting rod 61 that penetrates the connecting plate 5, and a spring 62 is sleeved on the connecting rod 61, so that the spring 62 is clamped between the float 6 and the connecting plate 5.

[0031] When using the above-mentioned foam forming equipment, the first output shaft of the first lifting cylinder 31 drives the barrel cover 4 to move upward, and the second output shaft of the second lifting cylinder 32 drives the connecting plate 5 and the float 6 to move upward, making room for the opening of the forming barrel 2. The foam material to be formed, which has been fully mixed with the adhesive, is then put into the forming barrel 2. Then, the second lifting cylinder 32 drives the connecting plate 5 to move downward through the second output shaft, thereby adjusting the overall height of the connecting plate 5 and the float 6 so that the float 6 contacts the top of the material. Then, the first output shaft of the first lifting cylinder 31 drives the barrel cover 4 to move downward to seal the opening of the forming barrel 2 and wait for forming. Since the float 6 remains floating on the top of the material and can be pressed down by the elastic reaction of the spring 62, the top of the material can remain flat after forming, reducing the excess material after subsequent cutting by the foam cutting equipment and saving costs.

[0032] After the foam is formed, the first output shaft of the first lifting cylinder 31 drives the barrel cover 4 to move upward again, and the second output shaft of the second lifting cylinder 32 drives the connecting plate 5 and the floating plate 6 to move upward, so as to expose the barrel opening of the forming barrel 2, and the formed foam in the forming barrel 2 can be demolded and discharged.

[0033] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, there are four connecting rods 61. The four connecting rods 61 are symmetrically arranged around the center of the float 6. The arrangement of the four connecting rods 61 enables the float 6 to maintain balance on the horizontal plane and obtain sufficient support from the springs 62. Selecting an appropriate number of connecting rods 61 and their springs 62 helps to simplify the structure of the foam forming equipment.

[0034] Furthermore, a pressure sensor 63 is provided on the float plate 6. The operator can more accurately determine the current height position of the float plate 6 based on the reading of the pressure sensor 63, so that the spring 62 is compressed and the float plate 6 floats stably on the top of the material, ensuring that the top of the material is pressed tightly by the float plate 6.

[0035] To prevent the float plate 6 and the connecting plate 5 from blocking the airflow inside the forming barrel 2, the connecting plate 5 and the float plate 6 are of equal size, and the connecting plate 5 and the float plate 6 are circular plates with an area smaller than that of the barrel cover 4.

[0036] Before the foam forming equipment is put into operation, the barrel cover 4 needs to be pressed against the top feed port of the forming barrel 2 under the drive of the first lifting cylinder 31. An elastic washer 41 is provided on the outer periphery of the barrel cover 4, and a perforation is provided on the connecting plate 5 so that airflow can pass through the perforation.

[0037] As another embodiment of the spring 62, one end of the spring 62 can be connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 5 and the other end of the spring 62 can be connected to the top surface of the float 6. The connecting rod 61 plays the role of restricting the vertical movement of the float 6. Specifically, the top end 611 of the connecting rod 61 extends outward and the top end 611 is larger than the size of the through hole through the connecting plate 5. When the connecting rod 61 moves down to the bottom, the top end 611 abuts against the top surface of the float 6, preventing the connecting rod 61 from coming off the connecting plate 5.

[0038] The mounting base 1 is provided with a lifting slide rail 11, a drive motor 12 that drives the lifting slide rail 11, and a lifting platform 13 connected to the lifting slide rail 11. The forming barrel 2 is placed on the lifting platform 13, and the lifting platform 13 can drive the forming barrel 2 to move up and down, so that the forming barrel 2 and the material can be moved from the mounting base 1 to the position of the barrel cover 4 by a transport vehicle.

[0040] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this application.
