Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of foam particle processing, specifically to a foam particle cooling and shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] Foamed plastics are a type of polymer material formed by dispersing a large number of gas micropores in solid plastic. They are 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. The production of foam particles requires processes such as pre-foaming and cooling and shaping. Among these, cooling is a very important step, and cooling is generally carried out in a cooling and shaping device.

[0003] The key technical features of the foam particle cooling and shaping device announced in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218535319U are as follows: it includes a device body, a refrigeration pipe, a cover plate, a support frame, and a storage basket. The refrigeration pipe is installed at the bottom of the device body, and the cover plate is located above the device body. First telescopic drive members are installed on both outer walls of the top of the device body, and the output end of the first telescopic drive member is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate. The support frame is fixed at the bottom of the cover plate. A drive cavity is provided at the top of the support frame, and second telescopic drive members are installed on both sides inside the drive cavity. A perforated pressure plate is installed at the output end of the second telescopic drive member. The storage basket is located inside the support frame, and handles are installed on both outer walls of the storage basket.

[0004] In the above scheme, after the foam particles are cooled by the main body of the device and the cooling pipe, the first telescopic drive component removes the storage basket and the foam particles inside from the water and allows them to dehydrate naturally. This results in the following disadvantage: the device cannot dry the foam particles during use and only allows them to dehydrate naturally. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foam particle cooling and shaping device to solve the problem that the device cannot dry the foam particles during use and only relies on natural dehydration.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution: a foam particle cooling and shaping device, including a cover plate, which is movably disposed above a water tank. Support frames are fixed to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the water tank, and a PLC controller is fixed to the front side of the outer wall of the water tank. Electric push rods are fixed to the inner bottom surfaces of both support frames, and the electric push rods are electrically connected to the PLC controller. One end of the telescopic rod of each of the two electric push rods is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cover plate. A drying chamber is disposed below the cover plate, and several connecting columns are fixed between the drying chamber and the cover plate. The drying chamber has a hollow structure, and several air outlets are opened on the inner bottom surface of the drying chamber. A heating tube is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the drying chamber and is electrically connected to the PLC controller. Two mounting holes are opened on the top surface of the drying chamber, and fans are fixed inside both mounting holes. The fans are electrically connected to the PLC controller. A support frame is fixed to the bottom surface of the drying chamber, and a storage basket is disposed inside the support frame.

[0007] Preferably, a cooling pipe is fixed inside the water tank, and the cooling pipe is electrically connected to the PLC controller. Two mounting frames are detachably installed on the top surface of the drying box, and dustproof nets are fixed inside the two mounting frames respectively.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of first magnets are fixed on the top surface of the drying oven, and second magnets are fixed on the front and rear sides of the outer walls of the two mounting frames, respectively, and the second magnets are magnetically attracted to the first magnets.

[0009] Preferably, the top surface of the water tank is provided with several limiting grooves, and the bottom surface of the cover plate is fixed with several limiting posts, and the several limiting posts are slidably inserted into the several limiting grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the storage basket is rotatably connected to a blocking frame via a hinge, the inside of the blocking frame is fixed with a blocking mesh, a third magnet is fixed to the right side of the outer wall of the blocking frame, and a fourth magnet is fixed to the right side of the outer wall of the storage basket, the fourth magnet being magnetically attracted to the third magnet.

[0011] Preferably, an observation hole is provided on the front side of the water tank, and glass is fixed inside the observation hole.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, a foam particle cooling and shaping device using the above-mentioned technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In use, through the coordinated use of cover plate, water tank, support frame, PLC controller, electric push rod, drying box, connecting column, air outlet, heating tube, mounting hole, fan, bearing frame and storage basket, the integrated operation of cooling and shaping foam particles and drying is realized. Compared with the method of relying on natural dehydration, this device can improve drying efficiency, shorten the production cycle, and at the same time ensure the cooling and shaping quality of foam particles and improve the quality of foam particles.

[0014] Second, during use, the dustproof net effectively blocks dust and impurities from the outside air from entering the drying chamber, preventing dust from adhering to the fan and affecting its normal operation and lifespan, thus effectively protecting the fan. The entire disassembly and assembly process is simple and convenient, requiring no complicated tools, saving operation time and labor costs, making the installation frame and dustproof net easy to disassemble and assemble, and facilitating timely cleaning and maintenance by staff. It can limit the position of the cover plate, ensuring that the cover plate will not shift or shake during lifting and lowering, improving stability;

[0015] Third, during use, the cooling and shaping process is ensured to proceed smoothly. Simultaneously, the third magnet on the blocking frame and the fourth magnet on the storage basket are magnetically attracted to each other, securing the blocking frame and preventing accidental opening during use. Workers do not need to open the cover; they can directly observe the internal conditions of the water tank through the observation hole on the front and the internal glass, such as observing changes in the water level and replenishing water as needed.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a foam particle cooling and shaping device includes a cover plate 1, which is movably disposed above a water tank 2. Support frames 3 are fixed to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the water tank 2, respectively. A PLC controller 4 (Siemens S7-200) is fixed to the front of the outer wall of the water tank 2. Electric push rods 5 are fixed to the inner bottom surfaces of both support frames 3, and are electrically connected to the PLC controller 4. One end of the telescopic rods of both electric push rods 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cover plate 1. A drying oven is located below the cover plate 1. The drying chamber 6 is fixed with several connecting posts 7 between itself and the cover plate 1. The drying chamber 6 has a hollow structure. Several air outlets 8 are opened on the bottom surface of the drying chamber 6. A heating tube 9 is fixed on the bottom surface of the drying chamber 6. The heating tube 9 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 4. Two mounting holes 10 are opened on the top surface of the drying chamber 6. A fan 11 is fixed inside each of the two mounting holes 10. The fan 11 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 4. A support frame 12 is fixed on the bottom surface of the drying chamber 6. A storage basket 13 is provided inside the support frame 12.

[0023] In operation, the operator first places the foam granules to be cooled and solidified into the storage basket 13. Then, the storage basket 13 containing the foam granules is placed inside the support frame 12. Next, the operator controls two electric push rods 5 via the PLC controller 4, causing their telescopic rods to extend and retract synchronously and smoothly. During this process, the cover plate 1 moves downwards under the action of the electric push rods 5 until it closes with the water tank 2. At this point, the storage basket 13, along with the foam granules inside, is completely immersed in the water inside the water tank 2, allowing the foam granules to cool and solidify. After the foam granules have cooled and solidified, the operator again controls the electric push rods 5 via the PLC controller 4, causing the cover plate 1 to slowly move upwards. As the cover plate 1 rises, the storage basket 13 and the foam granules inside gradually detach from the water inside the water tank 2. Once the storage basket 13 is completely out of the water, the operator... Simultaneously, the LC controller 4 activates the two fans 11 inside the drying chamber 6. The fans 11 blow a strong airflow downwards, which passes through several air outlets 8 on the bottom of the drying chamber 6 and blows onto the foam particles for initial drying. At this time, since the drying chamber 6 and the cover plate 1 are fixedly connected by several connecting posts 7, a certain distance is created between them, forming an air circulation channel. This allows external air to smoothly enter the drying chamber 6 through the mounting holes 10, providing a continuous airflow to the fans 11. At the same time, the operator activates the heating element 9 through the PLC controller 4. The heating element 9 quickly heats up, heating the inside of the drying chamber 6. The heated air combines with the airflow blown out by the fans 11 to form hot air, effectively drying the foam particles. After drying, the operator only needs to remove the storage basket 13. By using the cover plate 1, water tank 2, support frame 3, PLC controller 4, electric push rod 5, drying box 6, connecting column 7, air outlet 8, heating tube 9, mounting hole 10, fan 11, bearing frame 12 and storage basket 13 together, the integrated operation of cooling and shaping foam particles and drying is realized. Compared with the method of relying on natural dehydration, this device can improve drying efficiency, shorten the production cycle, and at the same time ensure the cooling and shaping quality of foam particles, thus improving the quality of foam particles.

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a cooling pipe 14 is fixed inside the water tank 2. The cooling pipe 14 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 4. Two mounting frames 15 are detachably installed on the top surface of the drying oven 6. Dustproof nets 16 are fixed inside the two mounting frames 15 respectively.

[0025] During use, the staff can start the cooling pipe 14 through the PLC controller 4 to cool the water inside the water tank 2, further improving the cooling and shaping effect of the foam particles. The dustproof net 16 fixed inside the mounting frame 15 can effectively block dust and impurities in the outside air from entering the drying oven 6, preventing dust from adhering to the fan 11 and affecting the normal operation and service life of the fan 11, thus effectively protecting the fan 11.

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, several first magnets 17 are fixed on the top surface of the drying oven 6, and second magnets 18 are fixed on the front and rear sides of the outer walls of the two mounting frames 15 respectively. The second magnets 18 are magnetically attracted to the first magnets 17. Several limiting grooves 19 are opened on the top surface of the water tank 2, and several limiting posts 20 are fixed on the bottom surface of the cover plate 1. The several limiting posts 20 are slidably inserted into the several limiting grooves 19 respectively.

[0027] During use, when the dustproof net 16 needs to be cleaned or replaced, the operator only needs to apply external force to overcome the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 17 and the second magnet 18 to quickly remove the mounting frame 15 from the top surface of the drying oven 6. After cleaning or replacement, the mounting frame 15 is aligned with the corresponding position on the top surface of the drying oven 6 and placed down. The first magnet 17 and the second magnet 18 will automatically attract each other, fixing the mounting frame 15 to the top surface of the drying oven 6. The entire disassembly and assembly process is simple and convenient, requiring no complicated tools, saving operation time and labor costs, and making the disassembly and assembly of the mounting frame 15 and the dustproof net 16 convenient for operators to clean and maintain the dustproof net 16 in a timely manner. When the cover plate 1 is raised and lowered by the electric push rod 5, the limiting post 20 slides in the limiting groove 19, which can limit the cover plate 1 and ensure that the cover plate 1 will not deviate or shake during raising and lowering, thus improving stability.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the top surface of the storage basket 13 is rotatably connected to a blocking frame 21 via a hinge. A blocking net 22 is fixed inside the blocking frame 21. A third magnet 23 is fixed to the right side of the outer wall of the blocking frame 21. A fourth magnet 24 is fixed to the right side of the outer wall of the storage basket 13. The fourth magnet 24 and the third magnet 23 are magnetically attracted to each other. An observation hole 25 is opened on the front side of the water tank 2. A glass 26 is fixed inside the observation hole 25.

[0029] During use, after the staff places the foam particles into the storage basket 13, they rotate the blocking frame 21 via the hinge to close it on the top surface of the storage basket 13. The blocking net 22 effectively blocks the foam particles, preventing them from floating out of the storage basket 13 due to buoyancy when the storage basket 13 and the foam particles are inside the water tank 2. This ensures that the foam particles remain inside the storage basket 13, guaranteeing the smooth progress of the cooling and shaping process. Simultaneously, the third magnet 23 on the blocking frame 21 and the fourth magnet 24 on the storage basket 13 are magnetically attracted, fixing the blocking frame 21 in place and preventing it from accidentally opening during use. The staff does not need to open the cover 1; they can directly observe the internal conditions of the water tank 2 through the observation hole 25 on the front of the water tank 2 and the internal glass 26. For example, they can observe changes in the water level inside the water tank 2 and replenish water as needed.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
