Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of PE pipe production equipment, and in particular to a device for cleaning precipitates produced during pipe production. Background Art

[0002] PE pipe generally refers to polyethylene pipe, which is widely used in municipal, water conservancy, gas and other fields. The color of PE pipe is mainly white and black, which is determined by the different masterbatch components added to the material. PE pipe is generally produced by extrusion molding, as shown in the attached figure of the manual. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the production of PE pipes, there will be a section of exposed pipe between the extruder die seat and the sizing sleeve (the pipe is extruded from the die seat and moves to the sizing sleeve). This exposed section is to form a stretching effect on the pipe and can naturally cool the newly extruded pipe so that the surface of the pipe can be initially hardened, which is convenient for the subsequent shaping process. Since there are inevitably some impurities in the production materials of PE pipes, when the PE pipe is extruded from the extruder die seat, the impurities will form a precipitation effect. The precipitation of impurities will form a circle of precipitate layer at the exit position of the extruder die seat. As the extrusion production proceeds, the precipitate layer will be accumulated thicker and thicker, and the area will gradually increase. At this time, the precipitate layer will form a hardening effect under natural cooling. After hardening, the precipitate layer will scratch the extruded pipe, causing quality problems on the surface of the pipe. Some hardened precipitates will even fall off naturally and adhere to the pipe wall, causing the pipe to be scrapped. The instruction manual is attached. Figure 1 It is the precipitation situation of the die seat position after the extruder has been in continuous production for 1-2 hours. Figure 2 It is the precipitation situation at the die seat position after the extruder has been in continuous production for 4-6 hours. After the extruder has been in continuous production for 4-6 hours, the precipitation layer has become larger. At present, the shutdown cleaning mode is adopted. After the extruder is shut down, the precipitation layer is manually cleaned. In this mode, the production continuity of the extruder is destroyed, the production efficiency is not high, and each time the extruder is started, a certain amount of waste will be generated. Frequent shutdown and startup will cause an increase in waste and a high material waste rate. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and provide a device for cleaning precipitates produced during pipe production.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The descriptions of "left" and "right" in the present invention are all based on Figure 1 For reference direction:

[0020] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, a device for cleaning precipitates from pipe production is installed between the extruder die base 100 and the sizing sleeve 200, and is used for cleaning precipitates at the outlet end of the extruder die base 100. The device comprises a cutter disc mechanism 1 and a cutter disc drive mechanism 2. The cutter disc mechanism 1 comprises an annular cutter disc body 11, which is sleeved on the outside of the extruded pipe. The cutter disc drive mechanism 2 is installed on the sizing sleeve 200, and the cutter disc drive mechanism 2 is connected to the annular cutter disc body 11 in a transmission manner. The cutter disc drive mechanism 2 can push the annular cutter disc body 11 toward the extruder die base 100. 00 direction movement to cut off the precipitates. The present invention is started once every 1 hour to quickly cut and clean up the precipitates at the outlet end of the extruder die base 100. After installing the present invention, there is no need to stop the machine for cleaning. With regular cleaning, there is no longer a large amount of precipitates accumulating to form a precipitate layer, and the extruder can work normally and continuously. Since the extruder can work continuously, its production efficiency is greatly improved, and the waste generated by stopping and restarting will be avoided, which helps to reduce the total waste rate of production and helps to reduce the production cost of pipes.

[0021] like Figure 5 As shown, the annular cutter disc body 11 is a hollow structure to accommodate the precipitate removed. The side end face of the annular cutter disc body 11 facing the extruder die base 100 is set to be open. A circle of blades 12 are connected to the inner wall edge of the open end of the annular cutter disc body 11. The blades 12 are used to remove precipitates. A circle of sealing seats 13 are connected to the outer wall edge of the open end of the annular cutter disc body 11. The sealing seat 13 is equipped with a sealing ring 14, which can prevent the removed precipitate from falling out of the annular cutter disc body 11, especially preventing the precipitate liquid from flowing out after melting. During the cutting operation, the blade 12 is in contact with the side wall of the extruder die base 100, and the sealing ring 14 is also in contact with the side wall of the extruder die base 100, ensuring that the cut precipitate can fall back into the annular cutter disc body 11 and be held. A gap should be left between the inner wall of the annular cutter disc body 11 and the outer wall of the extruded pipe so as not to affect the stretching and conveying of the pipe.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the cutter disc driving mechanism 2 includes a plurality of cutter disc pushing components 21, and the plurality of cutter disc pushing components 21 are evenly connected to the sizing sleeve 200 to form a uniform pushing effect.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the cutter disc pushing assembly 21 includes a push cylinder mounting frame 211 and a push cylinder 212. The push cylinder mounting frame 211 is connected obliquely to the sizing sleeve 200, and the push cylinder 212 is installed on the push cylinder mounting frame 211. Since the push cylinder mounting frame 211 is connected obliquely, an inclined pushing direction can be formed to match the tensile shape of the exposed section of the pipe between the extruder die base 100 and the sizing sleeve 200, so that the annular cutter disc body 11 can move along the outer wall of the pipe without touching the outer wall of the pipe. The cutter disc driving mechanism 2 It also includes a flexible connecting seat 22 and a linkage rod 23. The flexible connecting seat 22 is connected to the piston rod end of the push cylinder 212. One end of the linkage rod 23 is connected to the flexible connecting seat 22, and the other end is connected to the outer wall of the annular cutter disc body 11. When the push cylinder 212 is extended or retracted, the linkage rod 23 can drive the movement of the annular cutter disc body 11 to perform the precipitate removal operation. The flexible connecting seat 22 plays a role of flexible pressure to prevent the blade 12 from quickly colliding with the side wall of the extruder die base 100 and causing blade chipping.

[0024] like Figure 6 As shown, the flexible connecting seat 22 includes a seat body 221, a buffer spring 223 and a guide piston 224. A spring hole 222 is provided in the seat body 221, and the buffer spring 223 and the guide piston 224 are installed in the spring hole 222. The guide piston 224 is connected to a piston tail shaft 225, and the piston tail shaft 225 is also connected to the piston rod end of the push cylinder 212. The guide piston 224 plays a pushing and guiding role. When the blade 12 touches the side wall of the extruder die base 100, the buffer spring 223 will be compressed, so that the blade 12 is in a gradually pressurized process, which can not only meet the needs of cutting off precipitates, but also reduce the contact impact between the blade 12 and the side wall of the extruder die base 100, thereby protecting the blade 12.

[0025] like Figure 5As shown, a precipitate hot melt recovery component 3 is installed on the annular cutter head 11, and the precipitate hot melt recovery component 3 includes a heating plate 31, a heat-conducting column 32 and a waste liquid recovery pipe 33. Several heating plates 31 are evenly installed on the outer wall of the annular cutter head 11, and several heat-conducting columns 32 are fixedly connected to the annular cutter head 11. The heating plates 31 and the heat-conducting columns 32 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The heat-conducting columns 32 are installed close to the blade 12, and the waste liquid recovery pipe 33 is connected to the bottom low point of the annular cutter head 11. The precipitates removed by the annular cutter head 11 will accumulate on the blade 12. If they are not handled, the accumulation at the blade 12 position will increase, and there is a risk of them falling onto the extruded pipe. Therefore, the present invention designs a precipitate hot melt recovery component 31. The melting recovery component 3 is used to solve the above problem, so that the precipitate can be discharged quickly. After the blade 12 cuts off the precipitate, the heating plate 31 takes effect and can form a heating effect on the annular cutter disc body 11, especially through the heat conduction column 32 to the blade 12, so that a hot melting effect can be formed on the precipitate, turning it into a liquid. Due to the existence of the slope inside the annular cutter disc body 11, the liquid precipitate will flow back to the low point position in the annular cutter disc body 11, and then be promptly pumped out through the waste liquid recovery pipe 33. The above design can solve the problem of precipitate accumulation on the blade 12, so that the annular cutter disc body 11 can work continuously without frequent cleaning (just clean it at the end of each shift), which can greatly reduce the maintenance burden to maintain production continuity.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
