Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of industrial cooling devices, and particularly relates to a cooling device for shaping plastic particles. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production processes such as molten material processing and high-temperature fluid cooling, cooling devices are one of the core supporting equipment. The internal flow channels of the cooling chamber continuously circulate high-temperature media or come into contact with molten materials. Some molten particles easily adhere to the inner walls of the flow channels and gradually solidify and adhere, forming particle deposits that are difficult to remove. These deposits reduce the cross-sectional area of ​​the cooling flow channels, increase the resistance to the flow of the cooling medium, and significantly reduce cooling efficiency. Simultaneously, the uneven distribution of these deposits can cause turbulence in the temperature and flow fields within the flow channels, affecting product processing accuracy and even leading to flow channel blockages and equipment downtime.

[0003] In existing technologies, the main method for cleaning particle adhesion in cooling channels is a single air knife cleaning method. Some technologies use high-pressure air knives to blow the channel. However, single air knives have limitations: ① For strongly adhered particles formed by molten residual particles, the impact force of airflow alone cannot break the molecular-level adhesion between the particles and the channel wall, resulting in poor cleaning effect; ② Traditional air knives are mostly unidirectional or localized, making it difficult to achieve 360° full coverage of the channel circumference, leaving cleaning dead zones; ③ The airflow after air knife blowing is directly discharged, and the residual heat carried by the airflow is not recovered, resulting in energy waste. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling device for shaping plastic particles, which aims to solve the technical problems of poor cleaning effect, dead cleaning corners, and energy waste in the existing traditional plastic particle cooling devices.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the cooling device for shaping plastic particles provided in this embodiment of the invention includes:

[0006] The cooling chamber has cooling channels inside for the flow of cooling medium.

[0007] An ultrasonic cleaning assembly includes multiple ultrasonic transducers distributed on the inner wall of a cooling channel to remove particle adhesions adhering to the cooling channel wall through ultrasonic cavitation effect.

[0008] The high-pressure air knife assembly includes several high-pressure air knives, which are evenly arranged 360° around the circumference of the cooling channel. The air outlets of the high-pressure air knives are adapted to form a spiral airflow to purge the cooling channel.

[0009] Waste heat recovery module, which is connected to the air outlet of high-pressure air knife assembly, is used to recover the airflow discharged from high-pressure air knife assembly;

[0010] The cleaning trigger module is electrically connected to the load detection unit, ultrasonic cleaning component, and high-pressure air knife component of the cooling cavity. The cleaning trigger module is configured to automatically start the ultrasonic cleaning component and / or high-pressure air knife component for cleaning when the cooling load of the cooling cavity is at a low load period, and the cleaning process does not interrupt the continuous production of the cooling cavity.

[0011] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, multiple ultrasonic transducers are arranged in an array according to the curvature of the cooling channel, with a spacing of 5-15cm between adjacent ultrasonic transducers, and the ultrasonic emission surface of the ultrasonic transducer is flush with the inner wall of the cooling channel to avoid forming cleaning dead corners.

[0012] As an optional solution of the present invention, the ultrasonic transducer operates at a frequency of 20-40kHz and is equipped with a power adjustment unit with a power adjustment range of 500-2000W to meet the requirements for breaking down residual particles in different viscous molten states.

[0013] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the outlet of the high-pressure air knife is provided with an oblique cut, the oblique cut being at an angle of 15-45° to the axis of the cooling channel, and the oblique cuts of several high-pressure air knives are oriented in the same direction to form a spiral blowing airflow in coordination.

[0014] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the high-pressure air knife assembly also includes an air compressor and an airflow regulating valve. The air compressor is connected to each high-pressure air knife through the airflow regulating valve. The outlet pressure of the high-pressure air knife is adjustable, with an adjustment range of 0.3-1.2 MPa.

[0015] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the waste heat recovery module includes a gas-liquid heat exchanger and a gas storage tank. The outlet of the high-pressure air knife assembly is connected to the inlet of the gas-liquid heat exchanger, the outlet of the gas-liquid heat exchanger is connected to the gas storage tank, and the gas storage tank is also connected to the inlet of the air compressor, so as to supply the recovered waste heat gas back to the air compressor.

[0016] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the load detection unit includes a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a PLC controller. The pressure sensor is located at the inlet end of the cooling channel, and the temperature sensor is located at the outlet end of the cooling channel. The PLC controller has built-in load threshold determination logic. When the channel pressure detected by the pressure sensor is lower than a preset pressure threshold, and / or the outlet temperature detected by the temperature sensor is lower than a preset temperature threshold, it is determined to be a low load period and a cleaning program is started. Both the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0017] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall surface of the cooling channel is coated with a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, the coating material being polytetrafluoroethylene or a ceramic coating, and the coating thickness being 0.1-0.5 mm.

[0018] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a particle collection module, which includes a dust collection chamber and a filter screen.

[0019] As an optional solution of the present invention, the cleaning trigger module is also equipped with a PLC controller. When the cleaning program is started, the ultrasonic cleaning component is first controlled to work for 1-5 minutes to break the particle adhesion on the flow channel wall, and then the high-pressure air knife component is controlled to work for 3-8 minutes to perform spiral blowing. The ultrasonic cleaning component and the high-pressure air knife component can work alternately in a cycle, with a cycle number of 1-3 times.

[0020] The above-mentioned technical solutions of the cooling device for shaping plastic particles provided in the embodiments of the present invention have at least one of the following technical effects:

[0021] 1. The distributed array of ultrasonic transducers allows the ultrasonic cavitation effect to cover all areas of the inner wall of the flow channel, breaking the strong adhesion between molten particles and the flow channel wall; the 360° circumferentially arranged high-pressure air knife forms a spiral airflow that sweeps along the flow channel axis and circumference in all directions, removing the broken particles without dead angles, solving the problems of "manual cleaning with many dead angles and a single air knife being unable to break molten adherents", and greatly improving cleaning efficiency;

[0022] 2. The waste heat recovery module recovers the purge airflow from the high-pressure air knife and uses the waste heat of the airflow to preheat the air compressor through a gas-liquid heat exchanger. The recovered waste heat airflow is then supplied back to the air compressor, which can reduce the heating energy consumption of the air compressor and is in line with the trend of green and energy-saving industrial development.

In this embodiment, the operating power is set to 1200 W for molten plastic adhesions.

[0038] The high-pressure air knife assembly 3 includes several high-pressure air knives 31, which are evenly arranged 360° around the cooling channel 11. The air outlets of the high-pressure air knives 31 are aligned to form a spiral airflow to purge the cooling channel 11. The air outlets of the high-pressure air knives 31 are provided with oblique cuts, which are at an angle of 30° to the axis of the cooling channel 11. All the oblique cuts of the high-pressure air knives 31 are aligned in the same direction (clockwise) to form a clockwise spiral purging airflow. The air compressor 32 is a screw air compressor 32.

[0041] In another embodiment of the present invention, multiple ultrasonic transducers 21 are arranged in an array according to the curvature of the cooling channel 11, the spacing between adjacent ultrasonic transducers 21 is 5-15cm, and the ultrasonic emitting surface of the ultrasonic transducer 21 is flush with the inner wall of the cooling channel 11 to avoid forming cleaning dead corners.

[0042] In another embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasonic transducer 21 operates at a frequency of 20-40kHz and is equipped with a power adjustment unit with a power adjustment range of 500-2000W to meet the requirements for breaking down residual particles with different viscous molten states.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present invention, the load detection unit 6 includes a pressure sensor 61, a temperature sensor 62, and a PLC controller 63.

[0047] In another embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall surface of the cooling channel 11 is coated with a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, the coating material being polytetrafluoroethylene or a ceramic coating, and the coating thickness being 0.1-0.5 mm.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present invention, a particle collection module 7 is further included. The particle collection module 7 includes a dust collection chamber 71 and a filter screen 72. The dust collection chamber 71 is connected to the bottom end of the cooling channel 11 and is used to collect particles that fall during blowing. The filter screen 72 is disposed at the connection between the dust collection chamber 71 and the waste heat recovery module 4 and is used to filter particle impurities in the blowing airflow. The filter screen 72 is a stainless steel sintered mesh filter element (5μm pore size) and is disposed at the connection between the dust collection chamber 71 and the waste heat recovery module 4 to filter plastic particle impurities in the blowing airflow and prevent impurities from entering the waste heat recovery module 4 and causing blockage.

[0049] In another embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning trigger module is also equipped with a PLC controller 63. When the cleaning program is started, the ultrasonic cleaning component 2 is first controlled to work for 3 minutes to break the particle adhesion on the flow channel wall, and then the high-pressure air knife component 3 is controlled to work for 5 minutes to perform spiral blowing. The ultrasonic cleaning component 2 and the high-pressure air knife component 3 can work alternately in a cycle, with the number of cycles being 1-3 times.

[0050] The cooling device for shaping plastic particles provided in this application operates as follows:

[0051] During normal production: the cooling medium (high-temperature molten plastic) flows in the cooling channel 11, and the cooling chamber 1 cools the medium; the load detection unit 6 collects the channel pressure and liquid outlet temperature in real time and transmits the data to the cleaning trigger module.

[0052] Cleaning trigger determination: When production enters a low-load period (such as equipment standby or material replenishment stage), the flow channel pressure drops below 0.5MPa and the liquid outlet temperature drops below 60℃, the cleaning trigger module determines that the cleaning conditions are met and automatically starts the cleaning program.

[0053] Ultrasonic Destruction Stage: The cleaning trigger module controls the ultrasonic cleaning component 2 to start, and the ultrasonic transducer 21 emits 30kHz ultrasonic waves, which generate cavitation bubbles in the cooling channel 11. When the cavitation bubbles collapse, they form microjets and shock waves, which impact the molten plastic adhesive on the channel wall and break the adhesion between the particles and the channel wall.

[0054] Spiral blowing stage: After ultrasonic breaking for 3 minutes, the cleaning trigger module starts the high-pressure air knife assembly 3. The air compressor 32 outputs a high-pressure airflow of 0.8MPa, which is distributed to 12 high-pressure air knives 31 through the airflow regulating valve 33. The airflow forms a clockwise spiral airflow through the oblique cut, blowing along the channel axis and circumferentially, blowing the broken plastic particles into the dust collection chamber 71.

[0055] Alternating cycle phase: The ultrasound and air knife are alternated twice according to the logic of "ultrasound 2min → air knife 4min" to ensure that deep adhesions are completely broken up and blown away.

[0056] Waste heat recovery stage: After the high-pressure air knife assembly 3 completes spiral purging, the airflow carrying waste heat and particulate impurities first enters the dust collection chamber 71 of the particle collection module 7. Large particles settle to the bottom of the dust collection chamber 71 due to gravity. The remaining airflow flows through the filter screen 72 (stainless steel sintered mesh filter element) at the connection between the dust collection chamber 71 and the waste heat recovery module 4. The filter screen 72 traps micron-sized particulate impurities in the airflow, preventing impurities from entering the waste heat recovery module 4 and causing heat exchanger blockage and air source pollution. The filtered clean airflow enters the gas-liquid heat exchanger 41 of the waste heat recovery module 4 and exchanges heat with the cooling medium (such as cooling water) in the heat exchanger. The waste heat in the airflow is absorbed by the cooling medium and recovered. At the same time, the purging airflow itself is cooled down. The airflow that has completed heat exchange enters the gas storage chamber for temporary storage. The gas storage chamber returns the preheated clean airflow to the high-pressure air source inlet of the high-pressure air knife assembly 3 to replace part of the ambient temperature inlet air, reduce the energy consumption of high-pressure air source compression / heating airflow, and realize the recycling of waste heat of the purging airflow without impurity interference.

[0057] Cleaning complete: After the PLC controller 63 completes the cleaning, the cleaning trigger module shuts down the ultrasonic cleaning component 2 and the high-pressure air knife component 3, and the device returns to normal cooling operation. The particles in the dust collection chamber 71 can be cleaned periodically (e.g., monthly) by opening the drain port without affecting continuous production.

[0058] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
