VOLUME PULSED DEFORMATION PLASTICATING AND CONVEYING METHOD AND DEVICE BY ECCENTRIC ROTOR

Abstract

The present invention relates to a volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying method and device by an eccentric rotor. The rotation of the eccentric rotor and the rolling of the rotor in the inner cavity of a stator during constant reverse revolutions cause the volume of the material between the eccentric rotor and the stator to periodically change alternatively along the axial direction and the radial direction of the stator, thereby enabling the volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying of the material. The volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying device consists of a stator, of which the inner cavity comprises multiple alternatingly disposed spiral segments and straight segments, and an eccentric rotor comprising multiple alternatingly disposed eccentric spiral segments and eccentric straight segments. The eccentric rotor is disposed in the inner cavity of the stator. The eccentric spiral segments and the eccentric straight segments of the eccentric rotor correspond one-to-one with the spiral segments and straight segments of the stator. The present invention can be used as the extruding system of an extruder or be combined with different plunger injection units to form a plasticating injection device of an injection molding machine. The present invention has a short thermo-mechanical distance for the materials, low energy consumption, and wide adaptability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] The present invention will be further described below in detail with reference to examples and drawings; however, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

Example 1

[0025] The plasticating and conveying device of this example by an eccentric rotor and having pulsed volume deformation is used as the extruding system of a plasticating extruder of the eccentric rotor.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, the plasticating extruder of the eccentric rotor mainly consists of a plasticating and conveying device by an eccentric rotor and having pulsed volume deformation, a transition sleeve 3, a die 4, and other parts; the plasticating and conveying device by an eccentric rotor and having pulsed volume deformation comprises a stator 1 and an eccentric rotor 2 disposed in the inner cavity of the stator 1; the transition sleeve 3 is connected to the stator 1, and the die 4 is connected to the transition sleeve 3. The eccentric rotor comprises multiple alternatingly disposed eccentric spiral segments and eccentric straight segments of the rotor; the inner cavity of the stator comprises multiple alternatingly disposed spiral segments and straight segments of the stator; and the eccentric spiral segments and the eccentric straight segments of the rotor correspond one-to-one with the spiral segments and straight segments of the stator. Wherein changes of different sections are as shown in FIG. 2, 3 or 4 when the eccentric spiral segments of the rotor are connected with the spiral segments of the stator. In the feeding direction of the materials, the pitch of the eccentric spiral segments of the rotor and the spiral segments of the stator are gradually reduced.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 5 or 6, the radial sections of the spiral segments and the straight segments of the inner cavity of the stator are long holes, and the eccentric rotor reciprocates in the long hole of the inner cavity of the stator, with the motion stroke being twice the maximum eccentricity of the eccentric rotor. The rotation of the eccentric rotor and the rolling of the rotor in the inner cavity of a stator during constant reverse revolutions cause the volume of the space between the eccentric rotor and the stator to periodically change alternatively along the axial direction and the radial direction of the stator, and the materials between the stator and the eccentric rotor receive the pulsed volume deformation when cyclically compressed and released, thus completing the plasticating and conveying process including solid compacting, exhausting, melt plasticating, mixing, and melt delivering.

[0028] This example can achieve a volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying method by an eccentric rotor through the above device, wherein the rotation of the eccentric rotor and the rolling of the rotor in the inner cavity of a stator during constant reverse revolutions cause the volume of the material between the eccentric rotor and the stator to periodically change alternatively along the axial direction and the radial direction of the stator, thereby enabling the volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying of the material. The material, after plasticated by the volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying device by an eccentric rotor, is extruded by a die 4 connected to the transition sleeve 3, cooled, and shaped to produce an article.

Example 2

[0029] The volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying device of this example by an eccentric rotor is combined with an injection unit to form a plasticating injection device of the eccentric rotor.

[0030] This example is different from Example 1 in the follow aspect: as shown in FIG. 7, the output end of the stator is connected to a cylinder 6 of the injection unit through an accumulator 5, and the inner cavity of the stator is communicated with the injection channel in the cylinder, with a plunger 7 provided in the injection channel.

[0031] While in use, this volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying device by an eccentric rotor plasticates and melts the material, and delivers it into the injection channel of the cylinder, with the plunger constantly moving backward. When the storage amount of the polymer material melt in the cylinder reaches the measured value required by the injection products, this volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying device by an eccentric rotor stops plasticating and melting, and the plasticating measuring process of the injection machine is ended. After the injection machine completes the processes of filling the die and retaining the pressure, the plasticating extruder of the eccentric rotor begins to plasticize in the cooling stage of the product, with the injection machine starting a new cycle of molding products.

[0032] The present invention can be well implemented as described above. The examples as described above are only the preferred examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention; that is, it is intended that variations and modifications consistent with the present invention be encompassed by the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
