Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PE board hot melt welding, specifically to a PE board hot melt butt welding machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, many injection molding manufacturers, in order to reduce investment and costs, adopt a split-type, multi-stage molding process for injection molded parts with relatively large overall dimensions, followed by further processing. While a one-piece molding process offers high production efficiency, it requires large injection molding machinery and matching large molds to complete the production. The investment in large equipment and molds is enormous, making it unaffordable for ordinary small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore, many companies choose to produce products by splitting the product into multiple injection molded parts and then hot-melting and assembling them.
[0003] The specific method involves disassembling the product into two or more parts along the axis of symmetry or other detachable components. Molds are then manufactured according to the product's disassembly, with a certain amount of heat-fusion allowance reserved on the split surfaces. Each disassembled part is injection molded individually and then butt-welded together to form a complete product. This method requires smaller injection molding equipment, especially for perfectly symmetrical products where the mold can be reduced by half, and the required injection molding equipment size can also be halved. A small hot-melt welding machine is then used for butt welding, significantly reducing initial equipment and mold investment.
[0004] Currently, there are many hot-melt butt welding machines for pipe fittings, such as the hot-melt butt welding machine for plastic pipes disclosed in CN202321701992.1 and the fully automatic hot-melt butt welding machine for plastic pipes disclosed in CN202322093991.X. However, there is still no simple and reliable hot-melt butt welding machine for sheet metal fittings. Therefore, there is a need to develop equipment for hot-melt butt welding of PE sheets to help solve the predicament of many small and medium-sized enterprises that cannot produce large-sized PE sheet products, and the market demand for this is significant. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of large equipment and mold investment in the production of large-sized PE sheet products in existing technology enterprises, which require the disassembly of multiple parts for injection molding and then hot melt welding, and the need for a simple and reliable hot melt butt welding machine. This utility model provides a hot melt butt welding machine for PE sheet products.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A PE sheet butt welding machine includes a chassis, a frame mounted on the top plate of the chassis, slide rails on both sides of the frame in the width direction, a mold frame tray slidably mounted in the slide rails, an electric hot knife that can be raised or lowered mounted in the middle of the frame in the length direction, and mold frame trays symmetrically arranged on both sides of the electric hot knife, a mold plate slidably mounted in each mold frame tray, and the ends of the mold frame trays and the ends of the mold plates are connected by elastic elements, the ends of the mold frame trays are equipped with push-pull mechanisms for sliding the mold frame trays and mold plates, PE partitions are placed in the mold plates, and partition pressure rods are mounted on the opposite sides of the two mold plates, one end of the partition pressure rods being hinged to the mold plates.
[0008] Furthermore, the push-pull mechanism consists of push-pull cylinders installed on both sides of the frame along its length, with the piston end of the push-pull cylinder fixed to the mold frame tray.
[0009] Furthermore, the top of the electric heating knife is equipped with a knife holder, one end of which is hinged to a knife post that is inclinedly mounted on the side of the chassis. The chassis is also equipped with a lifting cylinder, the piston end of which is hinged to the knife holder.
[0010] Furthermore, a first limiting arc plate is provided at both ends of the mold plate near the partition pressure rod, and a second limiting arc plate is installed in the middle of the side of the mold plate near the push-pull cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the two mold plates has a semi-circular arc opening on its opposite side that is adapted to the PE partition plate, and the partition plate pressure rod also has a corresponding pressure rod arc opening.
[0012] Furthermore, the elastic element includes a guide rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the mold plate, and the other end of which is movably connected to the mold frame tray, and a spring is fitted on the guide rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the chassis is also equipped with a cooling fan and a storage box.
[0014] Furthermore, the chassis is equipped with a control box for controlling the power supply, the heating of the electric hot knife, and the operation of the push-pull cylinder and the lifting cylinder.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0016] The mold plate of this invention is placed in a mold frame tray, and the mold frame tray and mold plate are elastically combined. The mold frame tray and mold plate move under the action of a push-pull cylinder, causing the two halves of the PE partition to be joined and pressed tightly together. With the help of the partition pressure rod, the surface of the PE partition is ensured to be flat and tightly against the heating plate during the hot melting and welding process. The mold frame tray supports the mold plate, allowing it to move left and right on the machine table, realizing the hot melting and neat joining process of the welded workpieces. The electric hot knife of this invention can be raised and lowered; when the partitions are joined and hot-melted, the electric hot knife descends; when welding is performed after the partitions have melted, the electric hot knife rises.
[0017] This utility model features a simple structure, ease of operation, strong practicality, low cost, and a certain degree of versatility. It achieves precise dimensional accuracy in hot-melt welding, ensuring stable and reliable product quality. The hot-melt welding speed is fast, resulting in high production efficiency and making it a valuable substitute for other products with significant potential for widespread adoption. It effectively solves the problem of high investment in large-scale equipment and molds required for integral one-piece molding of PE sheet components.
[0018] In addition, the mold plate of this utility model can be replaced according to the shape and size of different welded parts to determine the clamping position of the limiting arc plate.
[0019] The end of the mold frame tray and the end of the mold plate are connected by an elastic element, namely a guide rod and a spring. When the partition touches the heating plate or another hot melt partition, the position is limited. At this time, the mold frame tray compresses the spring to control the docking pressure and avoid physical collision. Attached Figure Description

The mold holder trays 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hot knife 9. Each mold holder tray 4 has a mold plate 5 slidably mounted inside it. The end of the mold holder tray 4 and the end of the mold plate 5 are connected by an elastic element 6. The elastic element 6 includes a guide rod 16. One end of the guide rod 16 is fixedly connected to the mold plate 5, and the other end of the guide rod 16 is movably connected to the mold holder tray 4 (to prevent the guide rod 16 from detaching from the mold holder tray 4, a pin can be inserted into the end of the guide rod 16 or a limit nut can be installed). A spring 21 is fitted on the guide rod 16.
[0031] The mold frame tray 4 is equipped with a push-pull mechanism at its end for sliding the mold frame tray 4 and the mold plate 5. The push-pull mechanism consists of push-pull cylinders 3 that are fastened to both sides of the frame 2 along its length, with the piston end of the push-pull cylinder 3 fixed to the mold frame tray 4. The mold plate 5 is used to place PE partitions 8. A partition pressure rod 10 is installed on one side of the two mold plates 5 facing each other, with one end of the partition pressure rod 10 hinged to the mold plate 5. First limiting arc plates 19 are fixedly installed at both ends of the mold plate 5 near the partition pressure rod 10, and a second limiting arc plate 12 is fixedly installed in the middle of the side of the mold plate 5 near the push-pull cylinder 3.
