Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of polyurethane foam feeding and metering technology, and particularly relates to a control device suitable for automatic feeding, metering and pretreatment of polyurethane foam. Background Technology
[0002] During the feeding process of polyurethane foam, the sheets are first crushed into foam particles smaller than 1 cm. Then, the crushed foam is added to the storage tank in bagged packaging. To prevent differences between foams, the crushed foam is currently put into the storage tank and then mixed. Only after the foam is mixed will it be put into the reactor for use. Some foams are pre-treated by drying before being put into the storage tank to ensure the dryness of the foam in the storage tank.
[0003] Current technology primarily involves manually feeding pre-weighed polyurethane foam, which can easily lead to measurement discrepancies and affect the overall product quality. Furthermore, most current storage tanks use a horizontal stirring method, which can cause the foam to agglomerate and compact within the tank, hindering discharge and impacting production efficiency. Additionally, existing feeding methods often fail to remove impurities such as iron from the foam before feeding, potentially affecting the quality of the foam after the reaction.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a control device suitable for automatic feeding, metering, and pretreatment of polyurethane foam to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0038] An exhaust pipe 23 is installed on the outer surface of the foam storage tank 15. An exhaust regulating valve 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the exhaust pipe 23. An exhaust buffer groove 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the exhaust regulating valve 13 through a connecting pipe.
[0039] Specifically, through the cooperation of the above-mentioned structures, the storage frame 2 containing the crushed polyurethane foam is placed on the electronic platform scale 1. Before adding material to the foam storage tank 15, the required amount is set on the controller 6. Then, the feed regulating valve 3 is opened, and under the suction of the blower 5, the crushed foam is transported to the foam storage tank 15 through the feed pipe 21. During the process of the foam entering the foam storage tank 15, the buffer filter box 4 filters out impurities such as iron in the foam under the action of the magnetic block, thereby achieving the filtration and cleaning of impurities in the foam. During the feeding process, the weighing-tank-discharge valve interlocking system 8, in cooperation with the weighing module 9, The system monitors the amount of foam fed online to ensure accuracy. After opening the exhaust regulating valve 13, the foam storage tank 15 automatically vents through the exhaust pipeline 23 and the exhaust buffer tank 14 during the feeding process to ensure normal feeding. After the foam mixing is completed, the discharge regulating valve 17 is opened to discharge the foam from the foam storage tank 15 and the conical barrel 12. After the foam reaches the required amount, the discharge regulating valve 17 is closed. After the discharge is completed, the purging regulating valve 10 is opened, and nitrogen is injected into the foam storage tank 15 and the conical barrel 12 through the purging pipeline 22 to purge the interior of the foam storage tank 15 and the conical barrel 12.

[0044] Specifically, through the cooperation between the above structures, after the foam storage tank 15 is filled, the weighing-tank-discharge valve interlocking system 8 will automatically stop feeding. Then, after the nitrogen purging regulating valve 7 is opened, nitrogen is injected into the suction line 19 to purge the suction line 19. Then, the stirring motor 16 is started. As the stirring motor 16 works, it will drive the stirring disperser 11 to rotate in the foam storage tank 15. Under the transmission of the toothed sprocket 26 and the toothed chain, it will drive another stirring disperser 11 to rotate in the conical barrel 12, thereby stirring the foam in the foam storage tank 15 and the conical barrel 12 evenly. The design of the longitudinal stirring disperser 11 and the conical barrel 12 can reduce the problem of foam residue on the inner wall and foam agglomeration, which leads to inaccurate feeding.
[0045] Working principle: Place the storage box 2 containing crushed polyurethane foam on the electronic platform scale 1. Before adding material to the foam storage tank 15, set the required amount on the controller 6. Then, open the feed regulating valve 3. Under the suction of the blower 5, the crushed foam is transported to the foam storage tank 15 through the feed pipe 21. During the process of the foam entering the foam storage tank 15, the buffer filter box 4 will filter impurities such as iron in the foam under the action of the magnetic block. During the feeding process, the weighing-tank-discharge valve interlocking system 8 will monitor the amount of foam fed online with the cooperation of the weighing module 9 to ensure the accuracy of feeding. After opening the exhaust regulating valve 13, the foam storage tank 15 will automatically exhaust through the exhaust pipe 23 and the exhaust buffer tank 14 during the feeding process to ensure the normal feeding process.
[0046] After the foam storage tank 15 is filled, the weighing-tank-discharge valve interlock system 8 will automatically stop feeding. Then, after the nitrogen purging regulating valve 7 is opened, nitrogen is injected into the suction line 19 to purge the suction line 19. Then, the stirring motor 16 is started. As the stirring motor 16 works, it will drive the stirring disperser 11 to rotate in the foam storage tank 15. Under the transmission of the toothed sprocket 26 and the toothed chain, it will drive another stirring disperser 11 to rotate in the conical barrel 12, thereby stirring the foam in the foam storage tank 15 and the conical barrel 12 evenly.
[0047] After the foam mixing is complete, open the discharge regulating valve 17 to discharge the foam from the foam storage tank 15 and the conical barrel 12. Once the required amount of foam has been discharged, close the discharge regulating valve 17. After the discharge is complete, open the purging regulating valve 10 and inject nitrogen into the foam storage tank 15 and the conical barrel 12 through the purging pipeline 22 to purge the interior of the foam storage tank 15 and the conical barrel 12.
[0048] 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.
