Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of IXPE foam technology, specifically a cooling and shaping device for the production of IXPE foam. Background Technology

[0002] IXPE foam has excellent comprehensive properties, such as heat insulation, waterproofing, shock absorption, environmental protection, and aging resistance. It is widely used in automobiles, air conditioning, electronics, and sports and cultural industries. In the production process, after IXPE foam is extruded into master sheets, it needs to undergo subsequent processing steps such as irradiation and foaming. After foaming, it needs to be cooled and shaped in time to ensure product quality.

[0003] However, traditional cooling and shaping devices are not effective in cooling and shaping. They mostly rely on air convection for heat dissipation and usually require several electric fans to cool the bottom of the IXPE foam. For thicker IXPE foam, it may take several minutes or even longer for the electric fans to reduce the surface temperature to a safe range, which is difficult to meet the requirements of efficient and uniform cooling, thereby reducing production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] In addition, during the production process, the bottom of IXPE foam is prone to dust and other impurities. Traditional cooling and shaping devices lack effective cleaning functions, and the residue of impurities will affect the appearance and subsequent performance of the foam, thereby reducing the product's competitiveness in the market and making it difficult to meet customer needs.

[0022] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, a cooling and shaping device for producing IXPE foam includes a support frame 1. First rollers 2 are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the support frame 1. A second roller 3 is rotatably connected to the center of the inner cavity of the support frame 1. The height of the second roller 3 is lower than that of the first roller 2. Under this action, the IXPE foam material can be guided to pass through the top of the first roller 2 on one side and then through the bottom of the second roller 3, before contacting the top of the first roller 2 on the other side, thus improving the stability of material transmission. A water tank 4 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the support frame 1. A condenser is installed inside the water tank 4 to cool the water stored inside. Water inlet grooves are opened on both sides of the surface of the water tank 4. A water spray mechanism 5 is provided on the side, which works in conjunction with the water tank 4. Under its action, the water spray mechanism 5 draws water from the inner cavity of the water tank 4 and sprays it onto the bottom of the IXPE foam, thereby cooling and shaping the IXPE foam. Due to the inclined structure design of the support frame 1, the water sprayed onto the bottom of the IXPE foam can slide back into the inner cavity of the water tank 4 under gravity, allowing the water to be recycled, reducing water consumption and lowering water costs. The water inlet groove on the surface of the water tank 4 allows water flow while intercepting debris, particles, and other impurities, reducing the possibility of clogging of the water spray mechanism 5 or contamination of the water in the water tank 4. A mounting shell 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the water tank 4. The inner cavity of the mounting housing 8 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 9, and a compression mechanism 10 is provided on the surface of the lifting mechanism 9. A cleaning roller 11 is provided on the surface of the compression mechanism 10. The cleaning roller 11 can effectively clean dust, water stains, and other impurities from the bottom of the IXPE foam. The cleaning roller 11 works in conjunction with the compression mechanism 10 and the second roller 3. Under this action, when the thickness of the IXPE foam transported by the device varies due to different batches, the operator can drive the lifting mechanism 9 to significantly adjust the height of the compression mechanism 10 and the cleaning roller 11, thereby moving the cleaning roller 11 to a suitable position. With the cooperation of the compression mechanism 10, the cleaning roller 11, and the second roller 3, the bottom of the IXPE foam can be fully contacted and cleaned. Applying appropriate pressure enhances the cleaning roller 11's ability to rub and remove dust, water stains, and other impurities from the bottom of the IXPE foam, ensuring even cleaning coverage of the entire bottom of the IXPE foam and improving the thoroughness of cleaning. An air pump 6 is located on the other side of the water tank 4, with its outlet connected to an air outlet shell 7. The surface of the air outlet shell 7 has air outlet grooves, which rapidly disperse and remove residual moisture from the bottom of the IXPE foam under the action of high-speed airflow, causing the moisture to slide into the inner cavity of the water tank 4. This accelerates moisture removal, allowing the IXPE foam to quickly set, reducing drying time, and enabling the IXPE foam to proceed to the next production process more quickly, thus improving production efficiency.

[0024] The water spraying mechanism 5 includes a water pump 51 located on one side of the water tank 4. The inlet of the water pump 51 is connected to the inner cavity of the water tank 4, and the outlet of the water pump 51 is connected to a connecting pipe 52. Several atomizing nozzles 53 are connected to the surface of the connecting pipe 52 and work together. When the water pump 51 is started, water in the water tank 4 can be drawn into the connecting pipe 52 and sprayed onto the bottom of the IXPE foam through the atomizing nozzles 53, thereby cooling the IXPE foam and providing good preconditions for subsequent processing.

[0025] The lifting mechanism 9 includes a worm gear 91 rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the mounting housing 8. A worm wheel 92 meshes with one side of the worm gear 91, and a threaded rod 93 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the worm wheel 92. A sleeve 94 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 93, and the surface of the sleeve 94 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing 8. A knob 95 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear 91. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the cleaning roller 11, the operator can turn the knob 95 to drive the worm gear 91, the worm wheel 92 meshing with it, and the threaded rod 93 to rotate, thereby driving the sleeve 94, the compression mechanism 10, and the cleaning roller 11 to move, thus adjusting the position of the cleaning roller 11 to a suitable position. This allows for cleaning of IXPE foam of different thicknesses, improving the adaptability of the device. Limiting grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the 4. Limiting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the mounting shell 8. The surface of the limiting block 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 12. With the cooperation of the limiting block 13 and the limiting groove 12, the sleeve 94 can be guided when moving, so as to make the sleeve 94 more stable when moving. The other end of the worm 91 and the bottom of the threaded rod 93 are rotatably connected to the bearing seat 14. One side of the bearing seat 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 8. Under this action, the worm 91 and the threaded rod 93 can cooperate with the bearing seat 14, making the worm 91 and the threaded rod 93 more stable when rotating, reducing the situation where the worm 91 and the threaded rod 93 are not stable enough when rotating, which affects the meshing between the worm wheel 92 and the threaded connection between the sleeves 94.

[0026] The compression mechanism 10 includes a mounting plate 101 fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve 94. Support columns 102 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 101. There are four support columns 102, evenly distributed on the surface of the mounting plate 101. A connecting plate 104 is fixedly connected to the top of each support column 102. The inner walls on both sides of the connecting plate 104 are rotatably connected to both ends of the cleaning roller 11. A spring 103 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 101. One end of the spring 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 104. Under this action, when the cleaning roller 11 contacts the bottom of the IXPE foam, it will drive the connecting plate 104 to move downwards. Under the elastic force of the spring 103, the cleaning roller 11 can always maintain close contact with the bottom of the IXPE foam, improving the stability of the cleaning roller 11 during the cleaning process and thus ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning roller 11.

[0027] Working principle: First, the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the support frame 1 work together to guide the IXPE foam material to be stably transported along a preset path. At this time, the operator turns the knob 95 to drive the worm gear 91 and the worm wheel 92 and threaded rod 93 meshing with it to rotate, thereby driving the sleeve 94, the compression mechanism 10 and the cleaning roller 11 to move to the appropriate position. Then, the water pump 51 is turned on to draw water from the water tank 4 to the connecting pipe 52 and spray it to the bottom of the IXPE foam through the atomizing nozzle 53, thereby cooling the IXPE foam and assisting in shaping. Under its inclined shape, most of the water can slide into the interior of the water tank 4, realizing water... The recycling of the flow reduces water waste. When the IXPE foam passes over the surface of the cleaning roller 11, it can drive the connecting plate 104 and the support column 102 to move downward. Under the elastic force of the spring 103, the cleaning roller 11 is kept in close contact with the bottom of the IXPE foam, thereby effectively cleaning the dust, water stains and other impurities on the bottom of the IXPE foam. Finally, the air pump 6 is started, and air is blown into the bottom of the IXPE foam in the form of a high-speed airflow through the air outlet groove on the surface of the air outlet shell 7. The air quickly disperses and carries away the residual moisture, which slides into the water tank 4, thereby accelerating the removal of moisture and enabling the IXPE foam to be quickly shaped, reducing the drying waiting time and improving production efficiency.
