Abstract

An extrusion head device in which fixed and movable head parts as a plurality of separate parts can be easily combined using compact fastening means. Fastening cylinder rods provided for the fixed head part of the extrusion head device including the fixed and movable head parts are expanded, whereby fore-end locking portions at tips of the fastening cylinder rods are inserted into through holes of engaging blocks provided for the movable head to be protruded from upper surfaces of the engaging blocks; stopper-operating cylinder rods provided for the movable head part are expanded, whereby U-shaped stoppers at tips of the stopper-operating cylinder rods are inserted into clearances between the locking portions and the engaging blocks; and then the fastening cylinder rods are contracted, whereby the movable and fixed head parts are brought into tight contact with each other and fastened together.

Claims (10)

1. An extrusion head device which comprises a fixed head part and a movable head part, the fixed and movable head parts being provided to separate an extrusion passage along a longitudinal direction, the movable head part being pivotally supported to the fixed head part to be rotationally movable, the extrusion passage being opened and closed by rotationally moving the movable head part, the fixed and movable head parts being brought into tight contact with each other by fastening means, the fastening means comprising a fastening rod which linearly moves forward from the fixed head part toward a movable head part side and linearly moves back toward the fixed head part and a stopper-operating cylinder rod which is provided for the movable head part and which moves forward and backward so as to intersect an extension line of the fastening rod, wherein the fastening rod has a fore-end locking portion that is locked and released by a stopper attached to the stopper-operating cylinder rod and has a rear-end locking portion, and wherein a jack fixing block is provided and fixed to the fixed head part at a position closer to the movable head part side than the rear-end locking portion, and the fastening rod is linearly moved forward and backward by expansion and contraction of a jack provided between the jack fixing block and the rear-end locking portion.

2. The extrusion head device according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening rod is moved forward and backward using fluid.

3. The extrusion head device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein an engaging block having a through hole portion into which the fore-end locking portion can be inserted is provided for the movable head part, and the fore-end locking portion can be locked on the engaging block by inserting the stopper into a clearance between the fore-end locking portion protruded to an outside of the through hole portion and the engaging block.

4. The extrusion head device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the stopper has a cutout portion which engages with the fastening rod.

5. The extrusion head device according to claim 3 , wherein the stopper has a cutout portion which engages with the fastening rod.

6. An extrusion head device which comprises a fixed head part and a movable head part, the fixed and movable head parts being provided to separate an extrusion passage along a longitudinal direction, the movable head part being pivotally supported to the fixed head part to be rotationally movable, the extrusion passage being opened and closed by rotationally moving the movable head part, the fixed and movable head parts being brought into tight contact with each other by fastening means, the fastening means comprising a fastening rod which linearly moves forward from the fixed head part toward a movable head part side and linearly moves back toward the fixed head part and a stopper-operating cylinder rod which is provided for the movable head part and which moves forward and backward so as to intersect an extension line of the fastening rod, wherein the fastening rod has a fore-end locking portion that is locked and released by a stopper attached to the stopper-operating cylinder rod and wherein an engaging block having a through hole portion into which the fore-end locking portion can be inserted is provided for the movable head part, and the fore-end locking portion can be locked on the engaging block by inserting the stopper into a clearance between the fore-end locking portion protruded to an outside of the through hole portion and the engaging block.

7. The extrusion head device according to claim 6 , wherein the fastening rod is moved forward and backward using fluid.

8. The extrusion head device according to claim 6 or 7 , wherein the stopper has a cutout portion which engages with the fastening rod.

9. An extrusion head device which comprises a fixed head part and a movable head part, the fixed and movable head parts being provided to separate an extrusion passage along a longitudinal direction, the movable head part being pivotally supported to the fixed head part to be rotationally movable, the extrusion passage being opened and closed by rotationally moving the movable head part, the fixed and movable head parts being brought into tight contact with each other by fastening means, the fastening means comprising a fastening rod which linearly moves forward from the fixed head part toward a movable head part side and linearly moves back toward the fixed head part and a stopper-operating cylinder rod which is provided for the movable head part and which moves forward and backward so as to intersect an extension line of the fastening rod, wherein the fastening rod has a fore-end locking portion that is locked and released by a stopper attached to the stopper-operating cylinder rod and wherein the stopper has a cutout portion which engages with the fastening rod.

10. The extrusion head device according to claim 9 , wherein the fastening rod is moved forward and backward using fluid.
