Key Application Scenarios in Concrete Block Molding Machines

1. Vibration Mechanism Support and Shock Absorption

The vibration mechanism is the core component of the block molding machine, and its operational stability directly determines the material compaction effect. Installing industrial air springs between the vibrating motor and the frame effectively isolates the high-frequency vibration generated by the motor from being transmitted to the machine body, preventing frame deformation and resonance of other components. Simultaneously, the elastic support of the air springs allows vibration energy to be more concentratedly transferred to the material within the mold, improving compaction efficiency and reducing energy consumption. In large molding machines, multiple sets of air springs are typically arranged symmetrically to ensure uniform force distribution on the vibration mechanism, further enhancing operational stability.

2. Mold Lifting and Buffering

During the block demolding process, the mold needs to be lifted and lowered rapidly, with smooth buffering at the end of its stroke to prevent impact from causing block breakage or mold deformation. Industrial air springs can serve as auxiliary buffer elements in mold lifting mechanisms, working in conjunction with the hydraulic system: when the mold descends, the air spring is compressed, achieving flexible buffering through pressure changes in the air chamber, reducing the impact of contact between the mold and the material; when the mold rises, the air spring releases pressure, assisting the hydraulic system in improving operating efficiency, while reducing pressure fluctuations and extending the life of hydraulic components.

3. Machine Body Leveling and Support

During long-term operation, concrete block molding machines are prone to tilting due to factors such as foundation settlement and uneven load, leading to uneven molding pressure distribution and affecting the dimensional accuracy of the blocks. Using industrial air springs as machine body support elements allows for precise correction of the machine body's level by independently adjusting the inflation pressure of each set of air springs. For example, when one side of the machine body sinks, increasing the pressure of the corresponding air spring generates greater support force, adjusting the machine body to a level state, ensuring the parallelism of the mold and the press head during molding, and improving product dimensional consistency.

4. Vibration Buffering of the Feeding System

When feeding materials into the mold, the screw conveyor or belt conveyor in the feeding system is prone to vibration due to material impact, leading to uneven feeding and affecting the block density. Installing industrial air springs between the conveyor support and the machine body can absorb the impact vibration during the feeding process, ensuring that the material falls evenly into the mold cavity. This also prevents problems such as conveyor deviation and loosening of parts caused by vibration, improving the operational stability of the feeding system.
