Definitions
- Heads having a spiral distribution have some constructional difficulties due to the machining complexity and manufacturing difficulties for their surface treatments, i.e. chromium plating.
- the object of the present invention is to avoid the prior art drawbacks. Therefore the subject matter of the present invention is an extrusion head for tubular articles made of plastic material, which, articles, are of simple construction, and efficient operation, because by achieving a perfect flow distribution of the material an optimal mechanical quality of the final product is obtained.
- Figure 3 is a horizontally sectioned view of the extrusion head according to the present invention.
- Figure 4 is a schematic view of a plane development of the distribution channels machined on the extrusion head according to the present invention.
- Figure 5 is a partially sectioned lateral view of the extrusion head shown in
- conduits 6 communicate with the outside at the beginning of said central part 3 of the head 1 through corresponding holes 7.
- These holes 7 communicate in turn with a corresponding number of distribution channels 8 abutting to a cylindrical surface of the said part 3 through their own perimetrical curved lines, each channel consisting of two branches 12, which form an arc on said cylindrical surface of the part 3. More precisely the width and the depth of said branches 12 are at the maximum in proximity of each hole 7, gradually decreasing away from these branches and vanishing at their tip; the mathematical rule governing the development has been calculated by imposing particular physical conditions which will be better illustrated hereinafter.
- the number of distribution channels 8 and as a consequence of ducts 6 will increase with the diameter of head 1 , thus allowing the length of the head to be reduced.
- Individual thermoregulation devices of the ducts may optionally be provided in order to compensate the flow rate of each duct.
- the depth, width and the curvature of branches 12, hence their geometry, is determined as above indicated by means of computation, which imposes that the pressure distribution of the fluid along the curved lines 9 of separation between said distribution channels 8 and said cylindrical surface generates a plurality of fluidic threads, each one of the same flow rate.
- the computation is correlated to the diameter and the width of the instant head, hence there will be different kinds of geometry for each head in a head family.
- Such a pressure distribution finally, generates a tube with a substantially constant thickness at every single point on the terminal part 4 downstream to the central part 3.
- the terminal part 4 as already pointed out is associated to a spinneret 10, which can advantageously be of reduced size due to the optimal geometry of the tube obtained by said terminal part 4. Furthermore also said part 4 can be clearly shorter than the corresponding terminal parts of the prior art heads, because for the above mentioned reason this head does not serve to homogenize the melt.
- the present head l ean be made of any material and be subjected to various surface treatments e.g chromium plating.
- the plastic material in the molten state travels through the ducts 5,6 and flows into the distribution channels 8 through the holes 7.
- the pressure drop created by the geometry of the distribution channels generates a plurality of fluidic threads with the same flow rate on the perimetrical lines 9 of said channels 8 and these fluidic threads hence produce a perfectly homogeneous tubular article on the terminal part 4.
- the above illustrated technical solution can be used treating different plastic material such as polyolefins, PVC, polycarbonate, methacrylate, EVOH, polystyrene, nylon, PET achieving optimal results, because the results obtained with this head are independent from the used polymer.
- plastic material such as polyolefins, PVC, polycarbonate, methacrylate, EVOH, polystyrene, nylon, PET achieving optimal results, because the results obtained with this head are independent from the used polymer.
- the head 1 according to the present invention can also be advantageously used in order to produce multilayer tubes: this solution is becoming more and more requested by the market for enviromental reasons related to the declining use of materials which are not reusable and to the use of recycled materials. In such a case the component parts 2, 3, 4 of the head body are repeated once for each layer to be carried out.
- the first part 2 being a structure made of single channels, easily solves the main problem of the multilayer heads, i.e. the intersection of flows of different polymers.
- the central part 3 is repeated several times on the cylindrical bodies which will be mounted coaxially one inside the other, on the internal parts of which distribution channels calculated on basis of the desired final thickness will be carried out.
- the terminal part 4 allows the various layers to be overlapped and the dimensions of the final article to be obtained according to the desired diameters and thicknesses.
- An alternative use of the head for multilayer tubular articles consists of its application in the field of multifilament or short synthetic fibers: in this case such a multilayer head is used as to obtain single layers of constant thickness.
