Abstract
Description
Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a mold for molding styrofoam, and more specifically, to a mold for molding styrofoam in which a spray nozzle is inserted into a first discharge port of an outer mold and a fastening member is fastened and fixed to the end thereof, and one end of the spray nozzle is embedded and installed to correspond to the shape of the inner surface of the molding hole, thereby preventing the shape of the spray nozzle from being formed on the styrofoam being molded inside the outer mold. Background Technology
[0002] Generally, unlike other plastic moldings, styrofoam molding is performed by injecting steam and cooling water during the molding process. The sequence of producing a molded product using a styrofoam molding device is as follows: first, styrofoam raw material is fed into the molding device, then high-temperature steam is used to weld the styrofoam raw material, and after the welding is completed, cooling water is sprayed onto the molded product to cool it down, and then the product is discharged and dried to produce the molded product.
[0003] Accordingly, such a mold for molding styrofoam has a nozzle formed therein for injecting high-temperature steam or cooling water, and the process of injecting steam or cooling water into the mold through this nozzle to fuse and cool the styrofoam is performed to mold the styrofoam into a predetermined shape.
[0004] Patent Document 1 relates to a conventional styrofoam molding device, and with reference thereto, it comprises a fixed mold or a movable mold having a recessed groove of a predetermined shape formed inside, a casting having a hollow shape with one side open, a sealing cover that surrounds the fixed mold or the movable mold, and a plurality of nozzles formed on the inner wall surface for spraying steam or cooling water, a fluid supply frame embedded within the casting and communicating with the plurality of nozzles, and guiding the steam or cooling water to move inward to the nozzles, and a spray nozzle having one end exposed to the outside of the casting and the other end connected to the nozzles to spray steam or cooling water into the fixed mold or the movable mold.
[0005] Here, styrofoam material is filled into a movable mold or a fixed mold, and in that state, the movable mold or the fixed mold is sealed and covered with a casting, and steam is supplied through a fluid supply frame so that steam reaches each nozzle.
[0006] Then, steam is supplied through the inlet of the spray nozzle installed in the spray port, and then steam is sprayed through the outlet in the direction of the styrofoam raw material filled in the fixed mold or movable mold, so that the styrofoam raw material is heated and foamed and fused, and is molded to correspond to the shape of the space between the movable mold or fixed mold and the casting.
[0007] Afterwards, by spraying cooling water onto the molded styrofoam through a spray nozzle in the same manner as above, the styrofoam is maintained in a molded state.
[0008] However, the above-described patent document 1 has the inconvenience of requiring a separate operation to cut a portion of the styrofoam with the spray nozzle shape imprinted thereon after collecting the molded styrofoam, in which a spray nozzle is protruded and fastened to the inner wall of the casting, and an imprint corresponding to the shape of the spray nozzle is formed on the styrofoam molded by foam fusion between the movable mold or fixed mold and the casting, and the cutting operation of the spray nozzle imprinted portion causes a delay in work time and a rapid decrease in production efficiency. Furthermore, since the spray nozzle is simply fastened to the nozzle in a spiral manner, the fastening force of the spray nozzle decreases during the process of repeatedly spraying high-pressure steam or cooling water, causing the spray nozzle to easily detach from the nozzle. Due to this detachment of the spray nozzle, the foamed styrofoam gets stuck in the nozzle, causing a blockage of the nozzle. Additionally, the styrofoam molding operation is carried out while frequently checking the fastening status of multiple spray nozzles, making maintenance very inconvenient and consequently reducing the reliability of the product.

[0046] It is preferable that the above injection nozzle (300) has screw threads formed on the outer surface of the end of the leg portion (303).
[0047] The above injection holes (301) are formed in multiple numbers having the same diameter to guide steam or cooling water to be injected into the molding hole (101).
[0048] The fastening member (400) is fastened to the end of the injection nozzle (300) to force the injection nozzle (300) to remain in a state where it is fastened to the first discharge port (101a).
[0049] The above fastening member (400) is fastened to the outer surface of the end of the leg portion (303) of the injection nozzle (300) and is fixed in close contact with the inner wall of the double-walled space opposite to the inner surface of the molding hole (101).
[0050] It is preferable that the above fastening member (400) be fastened in a spiral manner to the outer surface of the end of the leg portion (303).
[0051] The mold for molding styrofoam according to the first embodiment of the present invention, configured as described above, is used as follows.
[0052] First, a spray nozzle (300) is positioned at a first discharge port (101a) formed on the inner surface of a molding hole (101) of an outer mold (100), such that the end of the spray nozzle (300) is exposed through the first discharge port (101a) to the inner wall of a double-walled structure opposite to the inner surface of the molding hole (101).
[0053] At this time, the head portion (302) of the spray nozzle (300) is inserted into the first embedded groove (101b), and the leg portion (303) extending from the head portion (302) is connected through the first discharge port (101a), so that the end of the leg portion (303) is exposed to the wall surface of the inner space of the double-wall structure.
[0054] Here, the head portion (302) is fixedly installed while inserted into the first embedded groove (101b) so as to prevent the head portion (302) from being exposed to the inner surface of the molding hole (101). If a part of the head portion (302) is exposed to the inner surface of the molding hole (101), a part of the head portion (302) is cut with a cutting tool to prevent the head portion (302) from being exposed to the inner surface of the molding hole (101).
[0055] At this time, the head portion (302) cut by the cutting tool is formed to correspond to the shape of the inner surface of the molding hole (101).
[0056] Afterwards, a fastening member (400) is fastened in a spiral manner to the leg portion (303) exposed to the inner space wall surface of the double-wall structure of the outer frame (100), thereby fastening and fixing the spray nozzle (300) to the first discharge port (101a), so that the first discharge port (101a) is closed by the spray nozzle (300), and the spray nozzle (300) is fastened and fixed to a plurality of the first discharge ports (101a) in the same manner as above.
[0057] At this time, the head portion (302) of the spray nozzle (300) is fixedly installed in the first embedded groove (101b), thereby preventing the head portion (302) from rotating in place while fastening the fastening member (400), so that the fastening member (400) can be easily fastened and fixed to the leg portion (303).
[0058] Next, styrofoam raw material is supplied into the molding hole (101) through the open side to seal the molding hole (101), and in that state, steam is supplied through the first supply pipe (102) so that the steam reaches a plurality of first discharge ports (101a) through the internal space of the double-wall structure of the outer mold (100).
[0059] Then, steam is injected into the molding hole (101) through the injection hole (301) of the injection nozzle (300) installed in the first discharge port (101a), and at this time, the styrofoam raw material contained in the molding hole (101) is expanded and deformed by the high-temperature steam, and adheres to the inner surface of the molding hole (101) to be molded to correspond to the shape of the molding hole (101).
[0060] At this time, the steam that enters the injection hole (301) of the head portion (302) is collected within the collection hole (303a) of the leg portion (303) and then sprayed in the direction of the molding hole (101) through the collection hole (303a).
[0061] Here, the styrofoam raw material that expands and deforms within the molding hole (101) is blocked by the spray nozzle (300) that closes the first discharge port (101a), thereby preventing the styrofoam raw material from penetrating into the first discharge port (101a), and accordingly, the blockage of the first discharge port (101a) can be prevented.
[0062] Afterwards, when cooling water is supplied through the first supply pipe (102) while the styrofoam raw material is expanded and deformed within the molding hole (101), the cooling water is sprayed into the molding hole (101) through the spray hole (301) of the spray nozzle (300) installed in the first discharge port (101a), and the cooling water comes into contact with the molded styrofoam. At this time, the molded styrofoam is cooled by the cooling water and maintains a deformed state corresponding to the shape of the molding hole (101).
[0063] And, in the manner described above, the styrofoam raw material is expanded and deformed within the molding hole (101) to obtain the molded styrofoam.
[0064] Meanwhile, if the spray nozzle (300) installed in the first discharge port (101a) is damaged or defective, the fastening member (400) is detached from the leg portion (303) of the spray nozzle (300) in the direction of the inner space wall of the double-wall structure of the outer mold (100), and in that state, the spray nozzle (300) is detached through the first discharge port (101a) in the direction of the molding hole (101).
[0065] Afterwards, the injection nozzle (300) is inserted and coupled through the first discharge port (101a) in the direction of the molding hole (101), so that the end of the leg portion (303) of the injection nozzle (300) is exposed to the wall surface of the inner space of the double-wall structure, and a fastening member (400) is fastened to the end of the leg portion (303) in a spiral manner so that the damaged or broken injection nozzle (300) can be partially repaired.

[0084] The head portion (302) is fixedly installed within the first buried groove (101b) and the second buried groove (201b) to prevent the leg portion (303) from rotating in place within the first discharge port (101a) and the second discharge port (201a).
[0085] When a part of the head portion (302) inserted into the first embedded groove (101b) is exposed to the inner surface of the molding hole (101) or a part of the head portion (302) inserted into the second embedded groove (201b) is exposed to the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201), the above injection nozzle (300) cuts the head portion (302) to correspond to the shape of the inner surface of the molding hole (101) and the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201), thereby preventing the head portion (302) from being exposed to the inner surface of the molding hole (101) and the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201).
[0086] The head portion (302) is cut to correspond to the shape of the inner surface of the molding hole (101) and the shape of the outer surface of the inner molding die (201), thereby preventing the shape of the head portion (302) from being imprinted on the styrofoam that has been expanded and deformed between the molding hole (101) and the inner molding die (201).
[0087] The above leg portion (303) is fixedly installed within the first discharge port (101a) and the second discharge port (201a) by allowing the fastening member (400) to be fastened to its end.
[0088] The gathering hole (303a) of the above leg portion (303) gathers steam or cooling water flowing into the plurality of injection holes (301) and sprays the steam or cooling water toward the molding hole (101).
[0089] The above injection nozzle (300) has screw threads formed on the outer surface of its end so that the fastening member (400) is fastened and fixed in a spiral manner.
[0090] It is preferable that the above injection nozzle (300) has screw threads formed on the outer surface of the end of the leg portion (303).
[0091] The above injection holes (301) are formed in multiple numbers having the same diameter to guide steam or cooling water to be injected into the molding hole (101).
[0092] The fastening member (400) is fastened to the end of the injection nozzle (300) to force the injection nozzle (300) to remain in a state where it is fastened to the first discharge port (101a) and the second discharge port (201a).
[0093] The above fastening member (400) is fastened to the outer surface of the end of the leg portion (303) of the injection nozzle (300) and is fixed in close contact with the inner wall of the double-walled structure opposite to the inner surface of the molding hole (101), or is fixed in close contact with the inner surface opposite to the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201).
[0094] It is preferable that the above fastening member (400) be fastened in a spiral manner to the outer surface of the end of the leg portion (303).
[0095] The mold for molding styrofoam according to the second embodiment of the present invention, configured as described above, is used as follows.
[0096] First, a spray nozzle (300) is positioned at a first discharge port (101a) formed on the inner surface of a molding hole (101) of an outer mold (100), such that the end of the spray nozzle (300) is exposed through the first discharge port (101a) to the inner wall of a double-walled structure opposite to the inner surface of the molding hole (101).
[0097] At this time, the head portion (302) of the spray nozzle (300) is inserted into the first embedded groove (101b), and the leg portion (303) extending from the head portion (302) is connected through the first discharge port (101a), so that the end of the leg portion (303) is exposed to the wall surface of the inner space of the double-wall structure.
[0098] Here, the head portion (302) is fixedly installed while inserted into the first embedded groove (101b) so as to prevent the head portion (302) from being exposed to the inner surface of the molding hole (101). If a part of the head portion (302) is exposed to the inner surface of the molding hole (101), a part of the head portion (302) is cut with a cutting tool to prevent the head portion (302) from being exposed to the inner surface of the molding hole (101).
[0099] At this time, the head portion (302) cut by the cutting tool is formed to correspond to the shape of the inner surface of the molding hole (101).
[0100] Afterwards, a fastening member (400) is fastened in a spiral manner to the leg portion (303) exposed to the inner space wall surface of the double-wall structure of the outer frame (100), thereby fastening and fixing the spray nozzle (300) to the first discharge port (101a), so that the first discharge port (101a) is closed by the spray nozzle (300), and the spray nozzle (300) is fastened and fixed to a plurality of the first discharge ports (101a) in the same manner as above.
[0101] At this time, the head portion (302) of the spray nozzle (300) is fixedly installed in the first embedded groove (101b), thereby preventing the head portion (302) from rotating in place while fastening the fastening member (400), so that the fastening member (400) can be easily fastened and fixed to the leg portion (303).
[0102] Then, a spray nozzle (300) is positioned at a second discharge port (201a) formed on the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201) of the inner mold (200), such that the end of the spray nozzle (300) is exposed to the inner surface opposite to the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201) through the second discharge port (201a).
[0103] At this time, the head portion (302) of the injection nozzle (300) is inserted into the second embedded groove (201b), and the leg portion (303) extending from the head portion (302) is fastened through the second discharge port (201a), so that the end of the leg portion (303) is exposed to the inner surface of the inner molding mold (201).
[0104] Here, the head portion (302) is fixedly installed while in the state of being inserted into the second embedded groove (201b), thereby preventing the head portion (302) from being exposed to the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201). If a part of the head portion (302) is exposed to the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201), a part of the head portion (302) is cut with a cutting tool to prevent the head portion (302) from being exposed to the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201).
[0105] At this time, the head portion (302) cut by the cutting tool is formed to correspond to the shape of the outer surface of the inner molding die (201).
[0106] Afterwards, a fastening member (400) is fastened in a spiral manner to the leg portion (303) exposed to the inner surface of the inner molding die (201), thereby fastening and fixing the spray nozzle (300) to the second discharge port (201a), so that the second discharge port (201a) is closed by the spray nozzle (300), and the spray nozzle (300) is fastened and fixed to a plurality of the second discharge ports (201a) in the same manner as above.
[0107] At this time, the head portion (302) of the spray nozzle (300) is fixedly installed in the second embedded groove (201b), thereby preventing the head portion (302) from rotating in place while fastening the fastening member (400), so that the fastening member (400) can be easily fastened and fixed to the leg portion (303).
[0108] Next, the outer mold (100) wraps around and seals the outside of the inner mold (200) so that the inner mold (201) of the inner mold (200) is positioned within the molding hole (101) of the outer mold (100).
[0109] At this time, the inner molding mold (201) of the inner mold (200) is allowed to enter the molding hole (101) of the outer mold (100), thereby maintaining the inner molding mold (201) at a predetermined distance from the molding hole (101), so that a space is formed between the molding hole (101) and the inner molding mold (101), and styrofoam raw material is received into this space.
[0110] Subsequently, when the open side of the outer mold (100) is sealed with the inner mold (200), steam is supplied through the first supply pipe (102) and the second supply pipe (202a). The steam supplied through the first supply pipe (102) reaches a plurality of the first discharge ports (101a) through the internal space of the double-wall structure of the outer mold (100), and the steam supplied through the second supply pipe (202a) also reaches the second discharge ports (201a) through the supply chamber (202).
[0111] Then, steam is injected into the molding hole (101) through the injection hole (301) of the injection nozzle (300) installed in the first discharge port (101a), and steam is simultaneously injected into the molding hole (101) through the injection hole (301) of the injection nozzle (300) installed in the second discharge port (201a). At this time, the styrofoam raw material contained between the molding hole (101) and the inner molding mold (201) is expanded and deformed by the high-temperature steam, and is attached to the inner surface of the molding hole (101) and the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201), and is molded to correspond to the shape of the space between the molding hole (101) and the inner molding mold (201).
[0112] At this time, steam entering through the injection hole (301) of the head portion (302) is collected within the collection hole (303a) of the leg portion (303), and then sprayed through the collection hole (303a) into the space between the molding hole (101) and the inner molding mold (201).
[0113] Here, the styrofoam raw material that expands and deforms within the molding hole (101) and the inner molding die (201) is blocked by the spray nozzle (300) that closes the first discharge port (101a) and the second discharge port (201a), thereby preventing the styrofoam raw material from penetrating into the first discharge port (101a) and the second discharge port (201a), and accordingly, blockage of the first discharge port (101a) and the second discharge port (201a) can be prevented.
[0114] Afterwards, when cooling water is supplied through the first supply pipe (102) and the second supply pipe (202a) while the styrofoam raw material is expanded and deformed between the molding hole (101) and the inner molding mold (201), the cooling water is sprayed into the molding hole (101) through the spray hole (301) of the spray nozzle (300) installed in the first discharge port (101a) and the second discharge port (201a), and the cooling water comes into contact with the molded styrofoam. At this time, the molded styrofoam is cooled by the cooling water and maintains a deformed state corresponding to the shape of the space between the molding hole (101) and the inner molding mold (201).
[0115] And, in the manner described above, the styrofoam raw material is expanded and deformed between the molding hole (101) and the inner molding mold (201) to obtain the molded styrofoam.
[0116] Meanwhile, if the injection nozzle (300) installed in the first discharge port (101a) is damaged or defective, the fastening member (400) is detached from the leg portion (303) of the injection nozzle (300) in the direction of the inner space wall of the double-wall structure of the outer mold (100), and in that state, the injection nozzle (300) is detached through the first discharge port (101a) in the direction of the molding hole (101).
[0117] Additionally, if the spray nozzle (300) installed in the second discharge port (201a) is damaged or defective, the fastening member (400) is detached from the leg portion (303) of the spray nozzle (300) in the direction of the inner surface of the inner molding mold (201), and in that state, the spray nozzle (300) is detached through the second discharge port (201a) in the direction of the outer surface of the inner molding mold (201).
[0118] Afterwards, the injection nozzle (300) is inserted and coupled through the first discharge port (101a) in the direction of the molding hole (101), so that the end of the leg portion (303) of the injection nozzle (300) is exposed to the wall surface of the inner space of the double-wall structure, and a fastening member (400) is fastened to the end of the leg portion (303) in a spiral manner so that the injection nozzle (300) of the outer mold (100) that is damaged or broken can be partially repaired.
[0119] And, the injection nozzle (300) is inserted and coupled through the second discharge port (201a) in the direction of the outer surface of the inner mold (201), so that the end of the leg portion (303) of the injection nozzle (300) is exposed to the inner surface of the inner mold (201), and a fastening member (400) is fastened to the end of the leg portion (303) in a spiral manner so that the injection nozzle (300) of the inner mold (200) that is damaged or broken can be partially repaired.
[0120] As described above, the structure in which one end of a spray nozzle (300), which is fixed by a fastening member (400) to the first discharge port (101a) of the outer mold (100) by the fastening member (400), is embedded to correspond to the shape of the inner surface of the molding hole (101) to prevent the shape of the spray nozzle (300) from being imprinted on the molded styrofoam when the styrofoam raw material expands and deforms, is such that the one end of the spray nozzle (300) is embedded to correspond to the shape of the inner surface of the molding hole (101), thereby preventing the spray nozzle (300) from being exposed to the inner surface of the molding hole (101). This prevention of exposure of the spray nozzle (300) prevents the shape of the spray nozzle (300) from being imprinted on the styrofoam molded inside the molding hole (101). Due to the prevention of the imprinting of the spray nozzle (300) shape, the styrofoam molded inside the outer mold (100) can be used as is, thereby shortening the working time. Due to the shortening of the working time Work efficiency and production efficiency are improved simultaneously. In particular, the injection nozzle (300) is fixed to the first discharge port (101a) by a fastening member (400), so that the fastening force is always maintained firmly regardless of repeated steam or cooling water operations.
[0121] The styrofoam molding die according to the present invention described above is not limited to the embodiments described above, and its technical spirit extends to the scope in which any person with ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs can make various modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the following claims.
