Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment proposes an automated foaming molding device for rubber and plastic insulation materials, including a molding mold 1 and a mold cover 4 mounted on top of the molding mold 1. The molding mold 1 has a molding cavity 101 inside. A base 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the molding mold 1. A slide rod 301 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the base 3. A slide seat 302 connected to the back of the mold cover 4 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the slide rod 301. A raw material pipe 401 is fixedly installed on the front side of the top of the mold cover 4. A closing column 8 is slidably installed inside the raw material pipe 401. An air extraction hole 402 is opened on the rear side of the bottom of the mold cover 4. An air extraction pipe 602 communicating with the air extraction hole 402 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the interior of the mold cover 4. An electric push rod 5 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the mold cover 4. A closing ring plate 501 extending into the interior of the mold cover 4 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric push rod 5.

[0027] In use, the molding cavity 101 inside the molding mold 1 can foam and mold the rubber and plastic insulation material. The mold cover 4 is slidably installed above the molding mold 1 via the slide block 302 and the slide rod 301. Lowering the mold cover 4 can close the top of the molding mold 1. The raw material pipe 401 installed on the front side of the top of the mold cover 4 is connected to the external conveying pipe, which facilitates the entry of raw material into the molding cavity 101. When the raw material pipe 401 is disconnected from the external conveying pipe, the raw material pipe 401 can be closed by inserting the closing post 8, thus preventing the opening at the bottom of the raw material pipe 401 from affecting the foaming and molding of the material. The mold cover 4 is installed on the rear side. The installed vacuum pipe 602 is connected to an external vacuum device, and can be used to vacuum the inside of the molding cavity 101 through the vacuum hole 402 at the bottom of the mold cover 4. Vacuuming the inside of the molding cavity 101 increases the speed at which the raw material enters it, and also avoids the situation where residual air in the molding cavity 101 causes air holes in the plastic insulation material. After the vacuuming of the inside of the molding cavity 101 is completed, the electric push rod 5 extends and lowers the closing ring plate 501. The closing ring plate 501 can close the bottom of the vacuum hole 402, preventing the vacuum hole 402 from affecting the molding of the rubber and plastic insulation material.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, a transmission pipe 7 is fixedly installed in the center of the mold cover 4. Exhaust micropipes 701 extending to the bottom of the mold cover 4 are fixedly installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the transmission pipe 7. One-way air valves 702 are fixedly installed at equal intervals at the top of the transmission pipe 7. Filter covers 703 extending to the top of the mold cover 4 are fixedly installed at the top of each one-way air valve 702.

[0030] During use, after the raw material is quantitatively injected into the molding cavity 101, the mold cover 4 is lowered to compact the raw material inside the molding cavity 101. When the mold cover 4 is lowered, the air that enters the molding cavity 101 along with the raw material enters the exhaust microtube 701 and is discharged to the outside of the mold through the conduction tube 7. This completely removes the air from the molding cavity 101, preventing the air that enters the molding cavity 101 along with the raw material from interfering with the foaming process. This increases the stability of the device during the foaming of rubber and plastic insulation materials. The one-way air valve 702 allows for one-way gas flow, preventing air from outside the mold from entering the molding cavity 101 through the conduction tube 7. The filter cover 703 protects the top of the conduction tube 7, preventing dust and foreign objects in the air from accumulating and causing blockages.

[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a heating chamber 102 is provided on the inner wall of the molding mold 1. An air inlet pipe 2 extending into the heating chamber 102 is fixedly installed on one side of the molding mold 1, and an exhaust pipe 201 extending into the heating chamber 102 is fixedly installed on the other side of the molding mold 1.

[0032] In use, the air inlet pipe 2 is connected to an external high-temperature steam pipe, so that high-temperature steam can be injected into the heating chamber 102 through the air inlet pipe 2. The high-temperature steam inside the heating chamber 102 can heat the raw material inside the molding chamber 101, so that the raw material inside the molding chamber 101 can be rapidly foamed and molded. The discharge pipe 201 is connected to an external recovery pipe, so that the steam used during use can be discharged.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, a flange 403 is fixedly installed on the top of the raw material pipe 401, a limit plate 801 is fixedly installed on the top of the closing column 8, and a locking rod 802 that works with the flange 403 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the limit plate 801.

[0034] In use, flange 403 facilitates the connection of raw material pipe 401 to external conveying pipe, and also facilitates contact with the limiting plate 801 at the top of the closing column 8. By rotating the limiting plate 801, the locking rod 802 can be rotated into the slot opened on flange 403, thereby limiting and locking the closing column 8 and the limiting plate 801.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, a vacuum tube 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the suction pipe 602, and a quick connector 601 is fixedly installed at one end of the vacuum tube 6.

[0036] In use, the vacuum tube 6 and the quick connector 601 can be connected to a vacuum device, thereby facilitating the external vacuum device to perform vacuuming operations inside the forming cavity 101.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a top plate 304 is fixedly installed on the top of the slide bar 301, and a hydraulic cylinder 305 whose output end is connected to the slide block 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 304.

[0038] In use, the top plate 304 can be supported and fixed on the top of the two sets of slide rods 301, and the hydraulic cylinder 305 installed on the top of the top plate 304 can raise and lower the drive slide 302 and the mold cover 4 by extending and retracting, which improves the convenience for the staff to adjust the height of the mold cover 4.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, two sets of reinforcing plates 303 are fixedly installed on the top of the front of the slide block 302, and the bottom of the reinforcing plates 303 are fixedly connected to the mold cover 4.

[0040] In use, the reinforcing plate 303 can reinforce the connection between the mold cover 4 and the slide 302, and ensure the stability of the slide 302 when driving the mold cover 4 up and down.

[0041] Working principle: The molding cavity 101 inside the molding mold 1 can perform foaming molding of rubber and plastic insulation material. The mold cover 4 can close the top of the molding cavity 101. The air extraction hole 402 and the air extraction pipe 602 can perform vacuuming treatment before injecting raw material into the molding cavity 101. By vacuuming the inside of the molding cavity 101, the speed of raw material entry can be accelerated, and the air inside the molding cavity 101 can be prevented from causing air bubbles and pores during the molding of rubber and plastic insulation material. In addition, the exhaust micro-pipe 701 and the conduction pipe 7 can squeeze out the air that enters the molding cavity 101 along with the raw material, avoiding the situation of residual air inside the device during the foaming molding of rubber and plastic insulation material, and increasing the stability of the device during the foaming molding of rubber and plastic insulation material.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
