Description

A kind of thermoplastic granulates foaming materials device
Technical field
The utility model belongs to field of mechanical technique, relates to a kind of thermoplastic granulates foaming materials device, particularly a kind of foam device being applicable to the thermoplastic granulates materials such as TPU particle.
Background technology
TPU is as a kind of novel polymer material, TPUE rubber by name, it is a kind of thermoplastic granulates material, the plurality of advantages such as TPU has good springiness, intensity is high, wearability good, nontoxic, resistance to oxidation, processing mode are various, applicability is extensive, therefore reduce at technical development, application, cost, under the promotion of the environmental protection concept multiple factors such as deeply, TPU industry is following will keep the situation increased fast, and TPU foaming technique also becomes the problem received much concern in recent years.
In prior art, most TPU granule foaming equipment or the technological design of TPU granule foaming unreasonable, often there is the problems such as the not good and production efficiency of foaming effect is lower in it, is unfavorable for producing in enormous quantities, and often can only produce TPU particle, and limitation is strong.TPU granule foaming equipment or the TPU granule foaming technique of now enumerating several prior art are as follows:
One, in the market, the technique that great majority prepare foamed thermoplastic polyurethane particle (TPU particle) is mainly batch (-type) still foam.To this, someone devises a kind of foam based on thermoplastic polyurethane, wherein, this technique adopts autoclave to be dispersed in water by TPU particle, dispersant, surfactant and normal butane blowing agent, the regular hour is kept under being warming up to assigned temperature, then particle is unloaded rapidly and be depressed into atmospheric pressure and obtain foamed thermoplastic polyurethane bead, then through process such as washing and drying, obtain the raw material of water vapour pressing.This batch (-type) still foam technique is more complicated, and the cost realizing automation is high, and environmental pollution is serious and equipment must through special technological processing for explosion protection feature.
People two, is had to disclose with physical blowing agent, to be pressed by still or moulded from foam technique prepares the method (patent publication No. is CN103642200A, CN103951965A) of TPU expanded material, these class methods do not use crosslinking agent, and prepared expanded material has the advantage that melting reclaims processing.But the method is batch-foamed process, there is the low and properties of product batch unstable problem of working (machining) efficiency.Further, in the method, TPU resin relates to long-time boiling water treating, easily causes TPU resin generation chemical degradation and xanthochromia problem, have impact on the performance of TPU expanded material and follow-up use.
Three, also someone discloses with supercritical CO 2for blowing agent, moulded from foam technique is adopted to prepare the method (patent publication No. is CN102229709A) of TPU expanded material.The pressure of the supercritical fluid that the method is used is 5MPa-25MPa, and the temperature of supercritical fluid is 100 DEG C-250 DEG C, and the processing time of supercritical fluid is 1 minute-60 minutes.But the hypertonia required for this technology, causes the high and production safety problem of equipment cost.Further, this technology does not use decentralized medium, and TPU particle is easily out of shape under high temperature, high pressure, appearance becomes sticky, and preparation appearance is bright and clean, shape is spherical or the TPU expanded particle of elliposoidal to cause this technology to be unsuitable for.
Four, have people to have also been devised the preparation method of thermoplastic urethane elastomer composition foam, it mainly comprises gas dissolution step, cooling step and foaming rate-determining steps.During work, TPU is mixed with other resin melting, passes into supercritical CO 2, allow CO 2be dissolved in (dissolving step) in composition melt, then cooling is containing CO 2melt (cooling step), the space being finally injected into pressure ratio cooling step low is carried out foam (foaming rate-determining steps), and this technical process can by being used in conjunction extruder and injector or being realized by two rank single screw extrusion machine.Such TPU foaming method layout is more complicated, is unfavorable for realizing TPU mass production.
Five, somebody devises a kind of method (patent publication No. is CN104385479A) that continuous extrusion foaming prepares TPU expanded beads, add the barrel of the first extruder after its TPU particle mixes with the inorganic nanoparticles of organic decoration, make TPU particle be melt into polymer melt through screw rod heating; Supercritical fluid is injected at the end of the first extruder, mixed polymer/high-pressure fluid melt is injected the second extruder through Melt Pump, and reduce the temperature of the second extruder thermal treatment zone gradually, obtain polymer/supercritical fluid melt that cool, that mix; Polymer/supercritical fluid melt is extruded from the second extruding dies, obtains TPU expanded particle through ring cutting under water; Finally TPU expanded particle is obtained the TPU expanded beads of dimensionally stable through the air-dry process of fluid bed.This kind of method will be extruded continuously through twice and add multiple inorganic nanoparticles, also increases complexity and the cost of technique while enhancing TPU expanded beads intensity.In addition, inject high-pressure supercritical fluid at the first extruder end, this pressure-bearing for extruder and sealing property require very high, realization degree relative difficult.
In sum, need to design a kind of reasonable in design, foaming effect is good, production efficiency is high thermoplastic granulates foaming materials device.
