Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foam production technology, and in particular to a raw material storage device for a foam molding machine. Background Technology
[0002] Foamed plastics are a type of polymer material formed by dispersing a large number of gas micropores in solid plastic. They have the characteristics of being lightweight, heat-insulating, sound-absorbing, and shock-absorbing, and their dielectric properties are superior to those of the matrix resin. They have a wide range of applications, and almost all kinds of plastics can be made into foamed plastics. Foaming molding has become an important field in plastic processing.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the Chinese patent publication number CN218615058U, a foam molding machine that facilitates rapid cleaning is disclosed. This machine includes a foam molding machine body with a cleaning component. The cleaning component includes a molding groove, and a cleaning plate is slidably connected inside the molding groove. The foam molding machine provided by this invention facilitates rapid cleaning by controlling the output end of a rotating motor via a control switch. The rotation of the rotating motor's output end drives a threaded rod to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating motor to move. The movement of the rotating motor drives the cleaning plate to move, allowing the cleaning plate to clean the inside of the molding groove. When the cleaning plate moves to the side of the scraping plate, the output end of an electric telescopic rod drives a transmission plate to move, causing the transmission plate to drive the scraping plate to scrape the cleaning plate and the inside of the molding groove, thus cleaning the inside of the molding groove. This avoids the inconvenience of cleaning the inside of the molding groove in existing foam molding machines.
[0004] During operation, foam molding machines need to continuously feed raw materials into the machine. However, the feed inlet of the foam molding machine is located at the top of the machine. When it is necessary to feed raw materials into the foam molding machine, the operator needs to manually feed the materials into the machine. This not only increases the workload but also results in poor feeding efficiency. Therefore, a raw material storage device for foam molding machines is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0036] Reference Figure 1-4A raw material storage device for a foam molding machine includes a storage box 1 and a raw material box 2. Both storage box 1 and raw material box 2 are fixedly connected to an inlet pipe 3. An air pump 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inlet pipe 3. A discharge ramp 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the storage box 1. A discharge pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 1. An extension pipe 7 is inserted into the discharge pipe 6. An outer ring 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the discharge pipe 6. An electric push rod 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer ring 8. Mounting blocks 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the extension pipe 7. The mounting blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 9. An exhaust plate 11 overlaps the top of the storage box 1. A first screw pin 12 is threadedly connected to the inside of the exhaust plate 11. A cavity is formed inside the exhaust plate 11. The cavity is fixed... A grid 13 is connected to the material box 2, which is placed on the base surface. The storage box 1 is positioned diagonally above the material box 2. The foam molding machine is installed below the storage box 1. When it is necessary to feed material into the foam molding machine, the air pump 4 is started, which draws the foam material from the material box 2 into the feed pipe 3, and then into the storage box 1 through the feed pipe 3. The exhaust plate 11 is installed on the top of the storage box 1 through the first screw 12. The air generated by the air pump 4 is discharged through the grid 13. When injecting material into the foam molding machine, the operator starts the electric push rod 9, which pushes the mounting block 10 to extend or retract. At this time, the extension pipe 7 will move inside the discharge pipe 6 and extend inside the discharge pipe 6. The extension pipe 7 extends into the feed inlet of the foam molding machine, thus preventing the foam raw material from overflowing during feeding. This device can both store foam raw materials and inject them into the foam molding machine, greatly improving the processing efficiency of foam. An air pump frame 14 is fixedly installed on the outside of the storage box 1, and an air pump 4 is fixedly connected inside the air pump frame 14. The air pump 4 is fixed to the outside of the storage box 1 through the air pump frame 14, thereby improving the stability of the air pump 4 during operation.

The foam raw materials enter the interior of the raw material box 2 through the inlet 17, and the sealing plate 18 closes the inlet 17. A cylinder 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the storage box 1, and a tamping roller 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 19. During the feeding process of the storage box 1, the cylinder 19 is activated, causing the cylinder 19 to drive the tamping roller 20 to extend and retract. The tamping roller 20 extends into the interior of the discharge pipe 6, thereby preventing the foam raw materials from clogging inside the discharge pipe 6. Machine bases 21 are fixedly installed on both sides of the discharge pipe 6, and a vibrator 22 is fixedly installed inside the machine base 21. Activating the vibrator 22 causes the vibrator 22 to generate excitation force.The vibration force causes the foam material inside the discharge pipe 6 to shake, thus preventing the foam material from clogging inside the discharge pipe 6. A positioning block 23 is fixedly connected to the edge of the storage box 1. A second screw 24 is threaded into the inside of the positioning block 23. The second screw 24 is threaded into the inside of the positioning block 23 and then extended into the wall, thus fixing the storage box 1 to the wall. Support rods 25 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both the storage box 1 and the raw material box 2, providing support for both. A sealing layer is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sealing plate 18, increasing the sealing effect and preventing the foam material from overflowing. There are four first screws 12, arranged in a rectangular array at the four corners inside the exhaust plate 11, improving installation stability.
[0037] In this invention, the raw material box 2 is placed on the base surface, and the storage box 1 is positioned diagonally above the raw material box 2. The foam molding machine is installed below the storage box 1. When it is necessary to feed material into the foam molding machine, the air pump 4 is started, which draws the foam raw material from the raw material box 2 into the feeding pipe 3, and then into the storage box 1 through the feeding pipe 3. The exhaust plate 11 is installed on the top of the storage box 1 through the first screw 12. The air generated by the air pump 4 is discharged through the grille 13. When injecting raw material into the foam molding machine, the operator starts the electric push rod 9, which pushes the mounting block 10 to extend or retract. At this time, the extension pipe 7 will move inside the discharge pipe 6. The material pipe 6 extends internally, and the extension pipe 7 extends into the feed inlet of the foam molding machine, thereby preventing the foam raw material from overflowing during the feeding process. This device can both store foam raw material and inject material into the foam molding machine, greatly improving the processing efficiency of foam. During the feeding process of the storage box 1, the cylinder 19 is activated, causing the cylinder 19 to drive the tamping roller 20 to extend and retract. The tamping roller 20 extends into the discharge pipe 6, thereby preventing the foam raw material from clogging inside the discharge pipe 6. The vibrator 22 is activated, causing the vibrator 22 to generate excitation force, which causes the foam raw material inside the discharge pipe 6 to shake, thereby again preventing the foam raw material from clogging inside the discharge pipe 6.
