Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of preform processing technology, and in particular to a PET preform cooling and shaping device. Background Technology
[0002] Preforms are intermediate semi-finished products in the preform manufacturing process, typically made from plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) through injection molding. Their appearance resembles a test tube. In preform processing, the cooling and setting step is crucial. During injection molding, the preform must cool from a molten state to a predetermined demolding temperature to obtain sufficient mechanical strength and prevent deformation due to material softening upon demolding. The preform cooling efficiency directly determines the setting cycle and product performance; however, existing technologies have the following significant drawbacks:
[0003] Existing cooling solutions mostly employ single heat exchange methods such as immersion cooling and mold cooling. These methods are inefficient and cannot quickly achieve the desired cooling and shaping effect, thus affecting production efficiency and product quality. Immersion cooling requires manual immersion of the mold in water, which is only suitable for small-batch manual production and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Mold cooling uses cooling water to circulate through cooling pipes inside the mold to remove heat, but these pipes are prone to scaling or blockage and require regular cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0009] In one embodiment, a recessed storage space is formed at the top of the frame, and the sealing box is placed in the storage space; a notch is formed on one side of the frame, and the sealing plate is directly opposite the notch.
[0010] In one embodiment, the input pipeline of the self-priming pump passes through the interior of the frame, and the input end of the self-priming pump is fixedly connected to the interior of the sealed box.
[0011] In one embodiment, the shaping mold is located at the bottom of the inner wall of the sealed box; the shaping mold includes a bottom mold, a top mold, and two built-in cylinders.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-6As shown, a PET preform cooling and shaping device includes a frame 1, wherein a sealed box 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the frame 1, and a shaping mold 4 for PET preforms is provided inside the sealed box 2. A cooling component 24 is also fixedly installed at the top of the sealed box 2, and a self-priming pump 3 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1. The input end of the self-priming pump 3 extends through the interior of the frame 1 and is used to perform negative pressure treatment inside the sealed box 2. A cooling pipe 242 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the sealed box 2, and the cooling component 24 is used to transport cold energy to the interior of the sealed box 2 through the cooling pipe 242.
[0024] This embodiment of the invention adds a self-priming pump 3 to the bottom of the frame 1. The suction effect of the self-priming pump 3 effectively enhances the heat transfer efficiency within the shaping mold 4 located in the sealed box 2, thereby accelerating heat removal during the preform shaping process. Simultaneously, a cooling pipe 242 is installed inside the sealed box 2, through which the cooling component 24 transfers cold energy to the sealed box 2, achieving a combined cooling function of suction and convection heat exchange. This effectively improves the cooling efficiency and shaping effect of the PET preform. In a specific implementation, the sealed box 2 can also be connected to an air supply pipe for supplying fresh air to the sealed box 2.
[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the output end of the refrigeration component 24 is fixedly connected to a bent conduit 241, and the output end of the bent conduit 241 is fixedly connected to the input end of the cooling pipe 242. In this embodiment, the refrigeration component 24 is fixed to the top plate of the sealed box 2, and the output end is connected to the cooling pipe 242 through the bent conduit 241. The bent conduit 241 can adapt to the connection requirements of cooling pipes 242 of different shapes and sizes, facilitating the transfer of cold energy.
[0026] In one embodiment, combined Figure 5 As shown, the cooling pipe 242 is made of copper and is bent and distributed at the top of the inner wall of the sealed box 2. Aluminum heat-conducting fins are also welded to the surface of the cooling pipe 242. In this embodiment, the cooling pipe 242 is made of copper and is bent and arranged at the top of the inner wall of the sealed box 2. Aluminum heat-conducting fins are welded to the surface of the cooling pipe 242 to increase the area for cold energy conduction, enabling efficient cold energy conduction to the interior of the sealed box 2 and effectively reducing the temperature inside the sealed box 2.
[0027] In specific implementation, the cooling component 24 is selected as a semiconductor cooling module. After being powered on, it generates low-temperature energy, which is then connected to the cooling pipe 242 through the elbow conduit 241. The energy is transferred to the interior of the sealed box 2 through the outer wall of the bent cooling pipe 242. The aluminum heat-conducting fins on the outside of the cooling pipe 242 can further improve the heat transfer efficiency.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sealed box 2 has a set of embedded grooves 21 pre-set inside. Embedded blocks 22 are movably embedded between the inner walls of the set of embedded grooves 21, and a sealing plate 23 is fixedly connected between the outer walls of the set of embedded blocks 22. In this embodiment, the embedded grooves 21 are arranged in a ring on the inner wall of the sealed box 2, and the embedded blocks 22 are fitted with the embedded grooves 21 with a clearance fit. In specific implementations, the sealing plate 23 is made of stainless steel with a rust-proof coating, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the cooling pipes 242, and also facilitating the maintenance of the internal molding 4. In specific implementations, a sealing ring is also wrapped around the outer edge of the sealing plate 23 to improve sealing performance.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a recessed storage space 10 is formed at the top of the frame 1, and the sealing box 2 is placed in the storage space 10. A notch 11 is formed on one side of the frame 1, and the sealing plate 23 is directly opposite the notch 11. In this embodiment, by providing a recessed storage space 10 at the top of the frame 1, it is convenient to position and install the sealing box 2, and the overall structure of the device is more compact. In addition, a notch is provided on one side of the frame 1 to facilitate the easy installation and removal of the sealing plate 23.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the input pipeline of the self-priming pump 3 passes through the interior of the frame 1, and the input end of the self-priming pump 3 is fixedly connected to the interior of the sealed box 2. In this embodiment, the self-priming pump 3 is a rotary vane self-priming pump, and the input pipeline is made of stainless steel. The input pipeline passes through one side plate of the frame 1 and is welded to the corresponding interface on the back of the sealed box 2. In specific implementation, a one-way valve can be installed at the interface to prevent air backflow when the machine stops.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the shaping mold 4 is located at the bottom of the inner wall of the sealed box 2; the shaping mold 4 includes a bottom mold 43, a top mold 44 and two built-in cylinders 41. The bottom mold 43 is disposed on the sealed box 2. Several telescopic rods 45 are fixedly installed on the top of the bottom mold 43. The telescopic end of each telescopic rod 45 is fixedly connected to the top mold 44. The telescopic ends of the two built-in cylinders 41 are fixedly connected to linkage plates 42. One side of the outer wall of the two linkage plates 42 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top mold 44. In this embodiment, the linkage plate 42 is fixed to the side wall of the top mold 44 by bolts. When the built-in cylinder 41 is working, the built-in cylinder 41 causes the linkage plate 42 to drive the top mold 44 to press down along the telescopic rod 45 and close with the bottom mold 43 to perform shaping pressure treatment on the PET preform. Then the PET preform is cooled. After the PET preform has completely cooled and shaped, the built-in cylinder 41 causes the two linkage plates 42 to rise and act on the top mold 44, thereby pulling out the top mold 44 for demolding.
