Background technology
In plastic membrane blowing technique, between extruder and film-blowing die head, add that melt metering pump can improve longitudinal thickness uniformity of film product effectively, the thickness uniformity that still how to improve film product is but a technical barrier always.Compared with tape-casting technique, although film-blowing process equipment investment is supported, the feed back producing in production process is few, and product strength is high, and product thickness lack of homogeneity but has usually become to enter the major obstacle of high-end market application.
In tape-casting technique, plastic melt in mould after horizontal shunting, from die lip gap longitudinally flow out, make film product through supercooling.Die lip configuration die lip lash adjusting device, the measured value that can distribute according to the horizontal thickness of product, is adjusted accordingly the die lip gap at each position, therefore the horizontal thickness good uniformity of product.
In film-blowing process, die lip is made up of the gap between columned plug and rigidity cylindraceous outer ring or flexible outer ring.Although outer ring is furnished with the device of adjusting die lip gap, the set screw or the regulating rod that for example circumferentially arrange along the outer wall of outer ring, plastic film blowing machine as disclosed in CN201195392Y, CN1939700A is die head especially used, but applicant finds any one position on die lip circumference and does the adjustment of die lip gap, the die lip gap of other position is impacted all unavoidablely, be especially separated by the position of 180 °.So, for existing blown film mould, adjusting die lip gap very limited to improving the inhomogeneity effect of the horizontal thickness of product, cannot effectively overcome or compensating mold machining precision error.And more seriously, applicant also finds in film-blowing process, the inhomogeneities of the each position of die lip flow, can be exaggerated along with the increase of blow-up ratio and draw ratio.Because the little position of melt flow is propelled the price of more greatly compared with thin being subject to because of film embryo, the large position of melt flow is subject to less propelling the price of compared with thick because of film embryo.Therefore, for film-blowing process, domestic inflation film manufacturing machine is also difficult in the thickness relative standard deviation that laterally reaches 10% at optimal operational condition, and in winding process, also may produce the phenomenon of " sudden and violent muscle ".In the prior art, in order to improve its film thickness uniformity, and in order to guarantee the apparent smooth of film product rolling, usually by rotating die head or rotary winding device, the thickness offset of film product is assigned to equably to each position of Scroll.But the angle of using from product, rotating die head or rotation rolling cannot fundamentally solve the problem of blown film goods transverse gage lack of homogeneity.
In addition, in order to solve the film thickness uniformity problem of blown film product, the technical scheme that uses intelligent vane is also provided on market, its effect is the thickness measuring value according to film product, thereby the intelligent blowing amount of controlling the each position of vane is controlled the local blow-up ratio at the each position of film product, have effect to a certain degree, but the investment of whole device is larger, improve film-blowing process equipment investment, improved the cost of product.

Hauling speed: adjust hauling speed and make film product thickness approach 22 microns.
In the time doing the test of the 1st blown film, the adjustment screw of every section of block ring is tightened clockwise, and hypothesis screw position is now 0 ° film product laterally cut short, the 23.33mm of being often separated by does a mark, makes it the center of corresponding each block ring segmentation.Thickness test value is summarised in table 1.The in the situation that of 21.7 microns of average film thickness, relative standard deviation is 16.3%.There is respectively 27 microns of 14 microns of minimum of a values and maximums 210 ° and 320 ° of positions.Thickness at position, 210 ° of opposites (30 °) is 21 microns.Subaverage; Thickness at position, 320 ° of opposites (140 °) is 23 microns, higher than mean value.As can be seen here, adjustment position, die orifice outer ring is very limited to reducing film thickness error effect.In the 2nd test, it is motionless that position, die orifice outer ring keeps, and thickness is done to the adjustment that reduces gap, melt canal higher than the block ring segmentation of mean value, and its corresponding set screw anglec of rotation is calculated as follows:
Adjust angle=(average film thickness/corresponding points thickness-1) × 250 ° (rounding numerical value)
Table 1 is listed adjusted value, and "-" represents to be rotated counterclockwise.To sub-average block ring segmentation, because corresponding set screw is tightened clockwise, therefore cannot do to increase the adjustment in gap, melt canal, still remain on " 0 " position.Done after corresponding block ring adjustment, the film that the 2nd test obtains improves significantly on uniform film thickness degree, and its relative standard deviation is reduced to 10.5%.Inventor is by the test comparison of doing to domestic inflation film manufacturing machine blown film product.Such blown film uniform film thickness degree has been in domestic good level.According to the thickness test value of the 2nd test, before the 3rd test, the gap, melt canal of the each segmentation of block ring is done to similar adjustment again, the relative standard deviation of result blown film product is further down to 3.8%, reaches the inhomogeneity higher level of thickness of international blown film product.The screw position that it should be noted that the 3rd test in table 1 is accumulated value, rather than the adjusted value of the 3rd time.
