Thermoplastic elastomer rapid cooling and setting device

Abstract

This utility model discloses a rapid cooling and shaping device for thermoplastic elastomers, comprising: an operating table and a mold body. A water tank and a cooling pool are fixedly connected to the top of the operating table. A water pump and an inlet pipe are fixedly connected to the outside of the water tank, and an outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the water pump. In this utility model, the water pump draws water from the water tank through the outlet pipe, allowing the low-temperature water to enter the interior of a heat exchange tube. The heat exchange tube continuously absorbs heat from the mold body through heat transfer, and then the water flow inside the heat exchange tube carries away the heat, achieving the purpose of heat exchange and cooling. The cooled water can be continuously and repeatedly used during this process. The inlet pump transports coolant from the cooling pool through a connecting pipe to the interior of a ring pipe. The ring pipe carries away heat from the water tank through heat exchange, continuously cooling the water inside the tank and ensuring that the water inside the tank remains at a low temperature.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling and shaping technology, specifically to a rapid cooling and shaping device for thermoplastic elastomers. Background Technology

[0002] Thermoplastic elastomers, abbreviated as TPE or TPR, are a type of elastomer that exhibits the elasticity of rubber at room temperature and can be plasticized and molded at high temperatures. The structural characteristic of thermoplastic elastomers is that they consist of different resin and rubber segments composed of chemical bonds. The resin segments form physical cross-linking points through interchain forces, while the rubber segments are highly elastic segments that contribute to the elasticity. The physical cross-linking of the plastic segments changes reversibly with temperature, demonstrating the plastic processing characteristics of thermoplastic elastomers. They can be produced using injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and other processing methods, and the sprue scraps can be 100% directly reused after being crushed. This simplifies the processing process and reduces processing costs.

[0003] After the existing thermoplastic elastomers are shaped, a large amount of water is needed to rinse them to cool them down. This process easily wastes water resources and greatly increases the cooling cost. At the same time, the cooling efficiency is not high and the heat exchange cannot be circulated, which is not energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Therefore, it is necessary to provide new rapid cooling and shaping equipment for thermoplastic elastomers to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid cooling and shaping device for thermoplastic elastomers, which has the advantages of rapid cooling, recyclability, environmental protection, and water conservation, and solves the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rapid cooling and shaping device for thermoplastic elastomers, comprising: an operating table and a mold body; a water tank and a cooling pool are fixedly connected to the top of the operating table; a water pump and an inlet pipe are fixedly connected to the outside of the water tank; an outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the water pump; telescopic pipes are fixedly connected to the outside of both the outlet and inlet pipes; a heat exchange pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of both telescopic pipes; a ring pipe is fixedly connected to the inside of the water tank; a return pipe and a connecting pipe are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the ring pipe, respectively; and an inlet pump is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting pipe. During operation, injection molding can be performed through the mold body. Simultaneously, the water pump draws water from the tank through the outlet pipe, allowing the low-temperature water to enter the heat exchange tube. The heat exchange tube continuously absorbs heat from the mold body through heat transfer, and then the water flow inside the heat exchange tube carries away the heat, achieving the purpose of heat exchange and cooling. The cooled water can be reused continuously, ensuring cooling while saving water and being environmentally friendly. During the cooling operation, the coolant in the cooling pool is transported to the ring pipe through the connecting pipe by the inlet pump. The ring pipe carries away the heat from the tank through heat exchange, continuously cooling the water inside the tank and ensuring that the water inside the tank remains at a low temperature, continuously cooling the mold body.

[0006] Preferably, the heat exchange tube is embedded inside the mold body, and the mold body has an injection cavity inside, so that the heat exchange tube can continuously perform heat exchange and cooling operations on the inside of the mold body.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting pipe extends into the interior of the cooling pool, and the water inlet pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling pool. The connecting pipe allows the water inlet pump to transport the coolant from inside the cooling pool to the interior of the ring pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the annular pipe is embedded inside the water tank, the return pipe extends to the outside of the water tank, the return pipe is located at the top of the cooling pool, and the annular pipe, through its embedded interior, can continuously exchange heat and cool the water tank.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the operating table is fixedly connected to four base columns, and the bottom of each of the four base columns is fixedly connected to a rubber pad. The base columns can provide stable support for the entire device, and the rubber pads can improve friction and prevent slipping.

[0010] Preferably, the heat exchange tubes are U-shaped tubes evenly arranged inside the mold body, and the annular tubes are spring-shaped and embedded inside the water tank. The U-shaped arrangement can increase the contact surface with the inside of the mold body and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0011] Preferably, a vertical pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the return pipe, and heat sinks are uniformly fixedly connected to the outside of the vertical pipe. Heat sinks have uniformly opened heat dissipation holes inside. The heat sinks can allow the heat absorbed by the vertical pipe to exchange heat with the air and cool down, thereby further cooling the coolant inside the cooling pool.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] I. During the operation of this utility model, injection molding can be performed through the mold body. At the same time, the water pump can draw water from the water tank through the water outlet pipe, so that the low temperature water enters the interior of the heat exchange tube. The heat exchange tube continuously absorbs heat from the mold body through heat transfer. Then, the heat is carried away by the water flow inside the heat exchange tube to achieve the purpose of heat exchange and cooling. The cooled water can be reused continuously during the process, ensuring cooling while saving water and being environmentally friendly.

[0014] II. In the cooling process of this utility model, the coolant inside the cooling pool is transported to the inside of the ring pipe through the connecting pipe by the water inlet pump. The ring pipe can remove the heat inside the water tank through heat exchange, and can continuously cool the water inside the water tank, ensuring that the water inside the water tank always remains at a low temperature, and continuously exchange heat and cool the mold body.
