Description

Gebrauchsmusterbeschreibung Vorrichtung zum kontinuierlichen Verschäumen eines thermoplastischen Kunststoffes.Utility model description Device for continuous foaming a thermoplastic plastic.

Die Neuerung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum kontinuierlichen Verschäumen eines thermoplastischen Kunststoffes, dem Treibmittel zugesetzt ist, bestehend aus einer Schneckenpresse, deren Schnecke für die Plastifizierungszone eine in Förderrichtung abnehmende Gangtiefe besitzt. The innovation relates to a device for continuous foaming a thermoplastic material to which a blowing agent has been added, consisting of a screw press, whose screw for the plasticizing zone is one in the conveying direction has decreasing thread depth.

Es ist bekannt, thermoplastischen Kunststoff in einem kontinuierlichen Verfahren in der Weise zu verarbeiten, dass ein Gemisch aus Kunststoff und Treibmittel in einen Extruder eingebracht wird und nach dem Schneckenpressverfahrsn zu einer Platte, einer Folie, einem Schlauch, einem Isoliermantel von elektrischen Leitungen oder dergleichen zu extrudieren. It is known to use thermoplastic material in a continuous Process in such a way that a mixture of plastic and propellant is introduced into an extruder and after the screw press process to one Plate, a foil, a hose, an insulating jacket for electrical cables or the like to extrude.

Es ist weiter bekannt, bei diskontinuierlicher Arbeitweise das Verschäumen des Kunststoffmateri. als in einer heiz-und kühlbaren Form auszuführen. Hierbei ist es auch bekannt, wenn in einem Druckgefäss gearbeitet wird, zusätzlich in die Schmelze ein Gas einzuleiten, um so die Treibfähigkeit des Materials nach seiner Entspannung zu erhöhen. It is also known that foaming occurs in a discontinuous manner of the plastic material. than to be executed in a heatable and coolable form. Here it is also known when working in a pressure vessel, in addition to the Introduce a gas in order to increase the propellability of the material according to its melt Increase relaxation.

Der Nachteil der bekannten kontinuierlichen Herstellung- verfahren besteht darin dass kein sehr guter Verschäumungsgrad CD erzielbar ist. Unter Verschäumungsgrad wird hier das Verhältnis der Dichte bezw. des spezifischen Gewichtes des geschäumten Erzeugnisses zu der des ungeschäumten Materials bezeichnet.The disadvantage of the known continuous production method consists in that not a very good degree of foaming CD is achievable. Under the degree of foaming, the ratio of the density is BEZW. the specific weight of the foamed product to that of the non-foamed material.

Es konnten bisher mit den bekannten kontinuierlichen Verfahren nur Verschäumungsgrade von über 0, 3 erzielt werden. bs war noch nicht möglich, Verschäumungsgrade unter 0, 3 wie bei dem diskontinuierlichen Verfahren auch mit hilfe eines kontinuierlichen Verfahrens zu erzielen.Up to now it has only been possible to achieve degrees of expansion of over 0.3 with the known continuous processes. bs was not yet possible, degrees of foaming below 0.3 like in the case of the discontinuous process, this can also be achieved with the aid of a continuous process.

Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der ein kontinuierliches Verfahren durchführbar ist, mit dem Verschäumungsgrade weit unter 0,3 erzielt werden können, um so im kontinuierlichen Verfahren Schaumkunetstofferzeugnisse herstellen zu können, die den- jenigen in Bezug auf die Verschäumungsgrade gleichwertig sind, die im diskontinuierlichen Verfahren hergestellt werden. The object of the innovation is to create a device with which a continuous process can be carried out, with which the degree of foaming far below 0.3 can be achieved in order to be able to produce foam plastic products in a continuous process that those are equivalent in terms of the degree of foaming, which are manufactured in a discontinuous process.

Die Neuerung besteht darin, dass bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs geschilderten Art die Schneckenpresse am Ende der Plastifizierungszone einen BegasungsstutsecL aufweist und in Förderrichtung der Schneckenpresse hieran anschliessend eine Mischzone vorgesehen ist. The innovation is that in a device of the initially the type described, the screw press at the end of the plasticizing zone has a gassing tube and in the conveying direction of the screw press a mixing zone adjoining this is provided.

Durch die neuerungsgemässe Vorrichtung wird erstmalig der beachtliche Vorteil erzielt, dass in einem kontinuierlichen Herstellungsprozess Schaumkunststoff-Produkte mit einem wesentlich besseren als bisher bei derartigen Verfahren üblichen Verschäumungsgrad erzeugt werden können, und zwar mit einem Verschäumungsgrad unter u, 3, vorzugsweise von etwa 0, o5 bis 0, 1. With the device according to the innovation, the remarkable Advantage achieved that in a continuous manufacturing process foam plastic products with a significantly better degree of foaming than has previously been the case with such processes can be generated, with a degree of expansion below u, 3, preferably from about 0.05 to 0.1.

Obgleich es bisher bereits bei diskontinuierlichen Verfahren bekannt war, in die Kunststoffschmelze in dem Druckgefäss zusätzlich ein Gas zur Erhöhung der 1'reibfähigkeit einzu- leiten, war es trotzdem nicht möglich, diese Maßnahme auch bei den kontinuierlichen Verfahren anzuwenden. rst die Neuerung gibt die Möglichkeit, dass der Zusatz von Gas auch bei einem kontinuierlichen Verfahren erfolgen kann, und zwar in der Weise, dass zunächst das Gemisch von Kunststoff und Treibmittel plastifiziert wird, sodann das Gas unter Druck in dieses Gemisch eingepresse wird, und hieran anschließend eine Durchmischung des plastifizierten Gemisches mit dem Gas vorgenommen wird, worauf erst die Verschäumung erfolgt.Although it was already known in the case of discontinuous processes, into the plastic melt in the pressure vessel add a gas to increase the frictional ability lead, it was still not possible to apply this measure to the continuous process. Only the innovation gives the possibility that the addition of gas can also take place in a continuous process, namely in such a way that first the mixture of plastic and propellant is plasticized, then the gas is injected under pressure into this mixture, and then the plasticized mixture is then mixed with the gas, after which the foaming takes place.

In Weiterentwicklung der Neuerung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Schnecke im Bereich des Begasungestutzene eine sprungartig vergrösserte Gangtiefe besitzt, und die Gangtiefe der Schnecke in Förderrichtung hinter dem Begasungsstutzen wiederum abnimmt. In a further development of the innovation, it is proposed that the screw has an abruptly increased passage depth in the area of the gassing nozzle, and the thread depth of the screw in the conveying direction behind the gassing nozzle decreases.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der neuerungsgemässen Vorrichtung besteht darin, dass bekannte Schneckenpressen (Extruder) mit verhältnismässig geringen Abänderungen Verwendung finden können. Another advantage of the device according to the innovation is that that known screw presses (extruders) with relatively minor modifications Can be used.

Die Neuerung kann in verschiedener Weise durchgeführt werden. In der Zeichnung ist beispielsweise eine Ausführungsform dargestellt. The innovation can be carried out in various ways. In the drawing shows, for example, an embodiment.

Durch den Trichter 1 gelangt das Gemisch von Kunststoff und Treibmittel in den Zylinder 2, in dem sich als Fördereinrichtung eine Schnecke 3 befindet. Der Zylinder 2 wird durch die Heizung 5 beheizt. In der Plastifizierungszone 4 wird das Material plastifiziert. In ihr nimmt die Gangtiefe der Schnecke 3 vom Einfülltrichter 1 aus in Richtung Preesenkopf 8 kontinuierlich ab bis zu der Stelle, an der neuerungsgemäß ein Begaeungeetutzen 6 vorgesehen ist. The mixture of plastic and propellant passes through the funnel 1 into the cylinder 2, in which a screw 3 is located as a conveyor device. Of the Cylinder 2 is heated by the heater 5. In the plasticizing zone 4 is the material is plasticized. In it takes the thread depth of the screw 3 from the feed hopper 1 from in the direction of Preesenkopf 8 continuously from up to the point at which according to the innovation a Begaeungeetutzen 6 is provided.

Durch diesen Begasungsstutzen 6 wird ein Gas unter Druck in den plastifizierten Kunststoff eingepreßt. A gas under pressure is injected into the plasticized through this gassing nozzle 6 Pressed in plastic.

Vorzugsweise wird zur Vermeidung von unerwünschten Nebenreaktionen ein inertes Gas verwendet. Die Gangtiefe der Schnecke 3 im Bereich des Begasungsstutzens 6 muss so gross sein, dass das am Ende der Plastifizierungszone 4 gestaute Material expandieren kann. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass die plastische Masse in den Bagaaungaetutzen 6 eintritt.It is preferred to avoid undesirable side reactions an inert gas is used. The thread depth of the screw 3 in the area of the gassing nozzle 6 must be so large that the material jammed at the end of the plasticizing zone 4 can expand. This prevents the plastic mass in the Bagaaungaetutzen 6 entry.

Eine erneute Abnahme der Schneckengangtiefe in der Mischzone 7 gewährleistet eine gute Durchmischung der plastischen Massen mit dem durch den Begasungsstutzen 6 eingepreßten inerten Gas, bevor die Masse aus der Düse 9 im Pressenkopf 8 austritt. A renewed decrease in the screw thread depth in the mixing zone 7 is guaranteed a good mixing of the plastic masses with that through the gassing nozzle 6 injected inert gas before the mass emerges from the nozzle 9 in the press head 8.
