Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0022] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention proposes a quantitative feeding device for polyurethane foam processing, which mainly consists of a mounting frame 1, support rods 11, a feeding assembly 2, a transparent metering tube 3, a drive assembly 4, and a feeding hand-held assembly 5. The mounting frame 1 serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the device, and four support rods 11 are vertically welded to the four corners of its top to support the feeding assembly 2.
[0023] The loading assembly 2 is located at the top of the support rod 11, and specifically includes a storage bucket 20. A first one-way pressure valve 21 is provided at the center of the bottom of the storage bucket 20. This valve only allows the raw material to flow downwards to prevent backflow.
[0024] The transparent metering tube 3 is cylindrical and is sealed at the bottom of the storage bucket 20, covering the first one-way pressure valve 21 inside. The bottom of the transparent metering tube 3 is provided with a sealing sliding sleeve 32, which is fitted onto the bottom end of the transparent metering tube 3 by a tight fit. This ensures that the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 41 can slide freely and prevents raw material leakage. The outer wall of the front of the transparent metering tube 3 is provided with a scale mark 30, which makes it easy for operators to observe the raw material measurement. A second one-way pressure valve 31 is provided on one side of the transparent metering tube 3 for outputting the measured raw material.
[0025] The drive assembly 4 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1 and is mainly composed of a telescopic cylinder 41. The telescopic cylinder 41 is fixed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1. Its telescopic rod passes vertically upward through the sealing sleeve 32 at the bottom of the transparent metering tube 3 and extends into the tube. The top of the telescopic rod is connected to a piston head 40. The outer diameter of the piston head 40 is matched with the inner diameter of the transparent metering tube 3 to ensure sealed pushing during the telescopic process.
[0026] The feeding handheld assembly 5 is distributed on one side of the transparent metering tube 3. The outlet tube 50 is fixed to the side wall of the transparent metering tube 3 and covers the second one-way pressure valve nozzle 31 inside for receiving the output raw materials. The other side of the outlet tube 50 is connected to the hose 51, and the other end of the hose 51 is connected to the feeding pen 52, which makes it convenient for the operator to hold and control the feeding.
[0027] In addition, a mounting plate 10 is welded to one side of the top of the mounting frame 1. The air pump 53 is mounted on the mounting plate 10. The output end of the air pump 53 is connected to an L-shaped conveying pipe 54. A third one-way pressure valve 55 is provided at the end of the L-shaped conveying pipe 54 away from the air pump 53. The valve is inserted into the outlet pipe 50 to ensure one-way gas input and push the raw material out of the outlet grip 52.
[0028] When in use, firstly, the polyurethane raw materials prepared according to the formula are injected into the equipment through the sealed feeding port at the top of the storage bucket 20. The operator sets the target feeding amount through the human-machine interface according to the fixed amount of the product to be produced. The system automatically converts it into the extension stroke parameters of the telescopic cylinder 41 and completes the initial position calibration of the piston head 40.
[0029] When the feeding command is initiated, the controller drives the telescopic cylinder 41 to move the piston head 40 downwards inside the transparent metering tube 3, creating a negative pressure environment. At this time, the first one-way pressure valve 21 automatically opens due to the internal and external pressure difference, and the raw material flows quickly from the storage bucket 20 into the metering tube. The first one-way pressure valve 21 remains closed due to the non-return structure to prevent the raw material from flowing back. The operator can observe the real-time feeding amount through the transparent window and the scale 30.
[0030] After the raw material is drawn to the set volume, the telescopic cylinder 41 switches to the forward pushing mode, the telescopic rod pushes out, and the piston head 40 pushes the raw material in the metering tube to the second one-way pressure valve 31. The valve opens under pressure, and the raw material is delivered to the outlet pipe 50 and the hose 51.
[0031] Next, the operator holds the discharge pen 52 and aligns it with the processing mold. Then, the air pump 53 is started through the controller. The high-pressure gas generated by the air pump 53 enters the pen through the air guide tube, and a certain amount of raw material is extruded at a constant flow rate. By adjusting the air pressure parameters and air supply time of the air pump 53, the discharge speed and flow rate can be finely adjusted to adapt to different mold filling requirements.
[0032] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
