Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material conveying technology, and specifically relates to an LFT-D recycled material granulation and drying equipment. Background Technology
[0002] LFT-D molding technology (Long-Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Direct) is a new process technology for long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, which is a process technology for the online direct production of products from long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites.
[0003] LFT-D technology uses thermoplastic materials as raw materials, and the parts can be recycled and reused after reaching their service life, without causing pollution to the environment, making it environmentally friendly and recyclable.
[0004] Currently, LFT-D recycled materials are generally used in two ways: one is to add the pulverized material online. However, because the particle size of the pulverized material varies, it is difficult to precisely control the amount added.
[0005] Secondly, the crushed material can be granulated before use. This method, due to the granulation and batch mixing, ensures uniform particle size and batch consistency, allowing for accurate dosage during use. Products made using this method also have a better surface finish.
[0006] Water-cooled extrusion strips are one of the most common methods in the production of modified plastics. After plastic is plasticized by a twin-screw extruder, it undergoes processes such as water cooling in a water tank, drying in an air dryer, and pelletizing in a pelletizer. The water tank is generally about 5 meters long and is connected to a circulating water pool through pipes. It requires a stable foundation and good load-bearing capacity.
[0007] When processing LFT-D pulverized material using a water-cooled wire drawing production line, the current granulation and drying equipment has the following problems:
[0008] (1) The characteristics of LFT-D recycled material are that it generally contains 30% glass fiber and a certain amount of powder filler. Therefore, the material strip is easy to break during granulation and needs to be driven forward by a conveyor belt. However, the current conveyor drying equipment is relatively complicated and requires the existing water tank to be moved away from the production line and the conveyor drying equipment to be installed, which is a lot of work.
[0009] (2) Since LFT-D crushed material is generally consumed by the user, the current conveying and drying equipment is expensive, and the input-output ratio is not appropriate.
[0010] (3) The matrix of LFT-D material is generally a high-flowability material. After crushing and granulation, the material strip needs to be cooled with cold water when it exits the die. Otherwise, it is difficult to process smoothly. The current conveying and drying equipment does not meet the requirements. Generally, it does not come with a water tank. The installation of the one with the water tank is more troublesome and the workload is also larger.
[0011] (4) Due to different formulations, the glass fiber content and powder filling amount of LFT-D materials are also different. Therefore, the strip pulling process needs to be adjusted for different crushed materials, including the water inlet distance, the spacing and number of fans, so as to carry out effective cooling and drying processing.
[0012] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a pelletizing and drying equipment suitable for LFT-D recycled materials by utilizing existing equipment. Summary of the Invention

The water-cooled conveyor support frame includes several height-adjustable water-cooled conveyor support rods on both sides. The upper ends of the water-cooled conveyor support rods are hinged together with the water-cooled conveyor belts and their angles are locked by a second hinge locking assembly.
[0016] Preferably, the first hinge locking assembly includes a first angle adjusting plate disposed on both sides of one of the water-cooled conveyor belts and a first bolt on both sides of the other water-cooled conveyor belt, wherein the first angle adjusting plate is provided with a first arc-shaped hole that mates with the first bolt.

The second hinge locking assembly includes a second bolt member disposed at the upper end of the water-cooled conveyor support rod and a second angle adjustment plate disposed below the water-cooled conveyor belt in a corresponding manner. The second angle adjustment plate is provided with a second arc-shaped hole that cooperates with the second bolt member.
[0018] Preferably, the main conveying support frame includes several height-adjustable main conveying support rods on both sides.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The following describes a specific embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment.
[0030] Example: Figure 1-3As shown in the figure, the LFT-D recycled material granulation and drying equipment provided in this utility model embodiment includes a water-cooled conveying unit 1 and a main conveying unit 2. The main conveying unit 2 includes a main conveying support frame 21, a main transmission belt 22 and a drying device 23 disposed above the main transmission belt 22. The water-cooled conveying unit 1 includes two water-cooled conveying belts 11 and water-cooled conveying support frames 12 that support the water-cooled conveying belts 11 respectively. The two water-cooled conveying belts are connected end to end to form a "∧" structure.
[0031] In some instances, two water-cooled conveyor belts 11 are hinged together and their angles are locked by a first hinge locking assembly, thereby adjusting the connection angle of the two water-cooled conveyor belts 11 as needed. The water-cooled conveyor support frame 12 includes several height-adjustable water-cooled conveyor support rods 121 on both sides. The upper ends of the water-cooled conveyor support rods 121 are hinged together with the water-cooled conveyor belts 11 and their angles are locked by a second hinge locking assembly.
[0032] Specifically, the first hinge locking assembly includes a first angle adjusting plate 31 disposed on both sides of one of the water-cooled conveyor belts 11 and a first bolt member 32 disposed on both sides of the other water-cooled conveyor belt 11. The first angle adjusting plate 31 is provided with a first arc-shaped hole 33 that mates with the first bolt member 32.
[0033] Specifically, the water-cooled conveyor support rod 121 is a water-cooled support telescopic rod, and its height is locked by the first locking bolt 122.

Both the main drive belt 22 and the water-cooled conveyor belt 11 are belt conveyors with a known structure, which will not be described in detail. The conveyor belts are made of canvas, which is wear-resistant and breathable. Since the surface of the LFT-D material strip is rough, the combination of the two makes it easier to drive the material strip forward. In addition, the drying device 23 is also conducive to drying.
[0036] Specifically, the drying device 23 is a dryer, which is fixed above the main drive belt 22 by a gantry frame 24.
