The specific embodiment
The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with embodiment and with reference to accompanying drawing: the extrusion molding of solid silicone nowadays, in baking oven, carry out sulfidization molding with air as medium, temperature sensor is contact product directly, can only contact oven body, product contacts with hot-air, and the thermal efficiency is low, the temperature control error is big, causes the over cure of product easily and consumes energy and increase waste product.If use said method, when then liquid silica gel is made raw material and made the product of sebific duct and so on, behind the liquid silica gel extrusion mould-outlet, in air dielectric,, very easily break, be out of shape even can not moulding because of being subjected to gravity effect.
The present invention adopts liquid to make heat transfer medium, make simultaneously in goods gravity and buoyancy in the liquid medium environment in a basic balance and vulcanize, overcome gravity effect on the one hand, make product indeformable, on the other hand when improving heat conduction efficiency, also can directly and accurately control the product curing temperature by liquid medium, thus energy-conservation, efficient, the raising percentage of A-class goods.Therefore, this molding sulfuration device needs to install the sulfuration tube 12 of outer medium 13 usefulness of holding liquid on head 10, and during the sebific duct product 14 of tube chamber, the core pipe 21 of mould 19 also is connected with interior medium connecting leg 20 and interior medium fills cylinder 18 in production has.Generally speaking, inside and outside medium 13 and 17 can be with a kind of liquid, requires closely with the proportion of liquid silica gel, and boiling point is higher than the liquid of the curing temperature of silica gel, and also considerations in the lump of condition such as nontoxic, low-cost, easily acquisition, easy cleaning are suitable as glycerine etc.Though it is that liquid silica gel is a raw material that the application indicates, other liquid rubber in fact, method and apparatus can be general, and just liquid medium is still needed and is elected in addition.If the very tiny product of tube chamber in producing, then interior medium is not necessarily used liquid, can consider to use air.
Another key of the present invention is to design a kind of interlocked injection machine and supporting control program, and continuous, accurate, the smooth injection feed of capacity only in this way could really successfully be realized the extruding, forming and vulcanization production of liquid silica gel greatly.
In the interlocked injection machine, tentatively a material cylinder 7, one cover hydraulic system 6 and hydraulic cylinder 5 thereof, a range arm 4, corresponding part conveying pipeline 8 and valve are called a cover groundwork unit (hereinafter to be referred as single cylinder), the present invention at least two cover groundwork unit are (hereinafter to be referred as twin-tub, the rest may be inferred by analogy), now be that example illustrates with the twin-tub, twin-tub promptly must be stored the A that is mixed by static mixer in two material cylinders 7, B liquid silica gel compound, at automaton, hydraulic system and hydraulic cylinder thereof, under the effect of range arm charging/discharging valve, two material cylinders wheel turns over alternate cycles bin stock and injection, injected until setting value, capacity is continuous greatly, accurately, the smooth injection feed meets the feed requirement of liquid-state silicon gel extrusion molding.The material cylinder also can be three cylinders, and A, B material wheel in three cylinders turns over alternate cycles bin stock and injection.Four cylinders that can also match in twos, two material cylinders are adorned A, B compound, take turns and turn over alternately bin stock and injection, two cylinders are adorned pigment paste in addition, take turns to turn over to replace and store and injection, and AB compound and pigment paste are sneaked into back injection mould, produce colored sebific duct with another static mixer.Produce some colours, maybe need add additive, need to adopt multi-cylinder.If, when the multiple liquid glue proportioning of need is mixed and property-modifying additive is arranged, can be a plurality of material cylinders and the hydraulic system supporting etc. with it as a groundwork unit, carry out the combination of multi-cylinder and multi-cylinder.This method and accompanying drawing all are that example illustrates with the two-cylinder type, and the common scientific and technical personnel that go together can pass through the two-cylinder type technical information, know three cylinders, four cylinders, the more method of operating and the device structure of multi-cylinder by inference with drawing inferences about other cases from one instance, carefully do not state for this reason.Traction wrap-up 15 and conventional method, structure are identical.The key of automaton 16 is program composition, the automaticity difference, and programming is different, groundwork element number difference, programming is also different, and this belongs to the copyright protection of computer program, no longer narration.
But the sulfuration tube 12 profile tubulars in the molding sulfuration device, but flute profile, dark dish type etc.; Heater 11 has multiple, can be heating collar, electrical bar or other; Raw material can comprise that also low viscosity is the various rubber of viscosity below 3000Pa.S (r=0.9s-1), all is suitable for doing raw material of the present invention except that liquid silica gel.Because of proportion, the curing temperature difference of raw material, liquid medium will be selected else, and programming will be adjusted to some extent because of the process conditions difference.
