Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of extrusion molding mechanism, and relates to a high-speed extrusion molding mechanism for polypropylene plastic used in automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] Polypropylene (PP) is a colorless, translucent, lightweight, general-purpose thermoplastic. It is a white, waxy material, transparent and lightweight, with a density of approximately 0.89-0.91 g / cm³. 3 Polypropylene (PP) is the lightest of commonly used plastics, but it is flammable and has a melting point between 164-170℃. It possesses chemical resistance, heat resistance, and electrical insulation properties. PP boasts high mechanical strength and good abrasion resistance, with higher tensile and impact strength than polyethylene (PE). It also exhibits high strength and rigidity, along with good toughness and impact resistance. It is primarily used in the manufacture of automotive interior parts (such as dashboards and door panels), body parts, and fuel tanks, thanks to its lightweight, heat resistance, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance.

[0003] Currently, polypropylene plastics require extrusion molding during the initial processing. However, existing plastics are difficult to extrude and become hard when the internal temperature of the extrusion section is low, while the plastic becomes too soft when the internal temperature of the extrusion section is too high, resulting in poor moldability and poor quality of the extruded plastic product. Therefore, a cooling device needs to be installed on the plastic extruder to maintain a moderate temperature during plastic production. For example, the patent announcement number CN220031129U, "A Circulating Water Cooling Mechanism for a Plastic Extrusion Molding Machine," simply uses a cylindrical water-cooling container fitted around the extrusion plate in the extruder and circulates water in the container to achieve a cooling effect. However, this cooling structure is not only inefficient but also has limited temperature regulation. Furthermore, because the cooling water requires time to dissipate heat, the manufacturing cost is high, requiring a large water tank, thus reducing its practicality. Utility Model Content
