Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of cable production, and particularly relates to a water tank for a wire and cable extruder. Background Art

[0002] During the cable production process, the extruder uses the pressure and shear force generated by the rotation of the screw to fully plasticize and uniformly mix the materials (such as plastic materials like polyvinyl chloride), and form them through the die. The formed cable sheath needs to be quickly cooled to maintain its shape and performance; the cooling water tank cools the high-temperature cable sheath through the cooling effect of water, ensuring that it maintains stable physical properties during subsequent processing and use.

[0003] However, water stains will adhere to the surface of the cable after cooling in the water tank. If not cleaned in time, it will cause inconvenience to the subsequent winding and packing of the cable and affect the ground environment at the packing site; for this reason, a water tank for a wire and cable extruder is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a water tank for a wire and cable extruder, which solves the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A water tank for a wire and cable extruder includes a water tank with an open upper end. One end of the cable is connected to the extruder, and the other end is connected to the winding machine. There are three support seats distributed along the cable conveying direction at the upper end of the water tank, and support wheels in contact with the cable are rotatably connected to the support seats; a pressing wheel assembly is arranged between the first two support wheels. The pressing wheel assembly includes a support frame fixed to the upper end of the water tank. A fixed seat capable of lifting is arranged on the support frame. A pressing wheel is rotatably connected to the lower end of the fixed seat, and the pressing wheel can press the cable into the water.

[0007] A wiping mechanism is arranged between the last two support wheels. The wiping mechanism includes a driven gear that can rotate and is coaxial with the cable. A connecting plate capable of adjusting the position is arranged on the driven gear. A sponge is fixed to the lower end of the connecting plate. The movement of the connecting plate can make the sponge contact the cable to remove the water stains on the surface of the cable after water cooling, and can be applicable to cables with different diameters to wipe the water stains.

[0008] Furthermore, the wiping mechanism includes a support plate fixed to the upper end of the water tank. The driven gear is rotatably connected to the support plate; a motor is fixed to the support plate, and a driving gear is fixed to the end of the driving shaft of the motor. The driving gear meshes with the driven gear.

[0009] Furthermore, through holes that are coaxial with each other are opened at the central position of the driven gear and the upper end of the support plate. The cable passes through the two through holes and is connected to the winding machine.

[0010] Furthermore, on one side of the driven gear, there is a first fixed plate, and a second cylinder is arranged on the first fixed plate. The end of the driving shaft of the second cylinder is fixedly connected with a connecting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a first annular clamping groove is formed on the outer circumference of the supporting wheel, and the cable is located in the first annular clamping groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a second annular clamping groove is formed on the outer circumference of the pressing wheel, and the cable is located in the second annular clamping groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a drying assembly is arranged on the side of the cable facing away from the sponge. The drying assembly includes a second fixed plate fixed on the driven gear. One side of the second fixed plate is fixed with a hair dryer, and one side of the hair dryer is connected with a blowing pipe, and the blowing pipe can blow air on the cable and the sponge.

[0014] Furthermore, a heater is arranged on the side of the second fixed plate facing away from the hair dryer. The air blown out by the hair dryer is heated by the heater and then blown onto the cable and the sponge.

[0015] Furthermore, a first cylinder is arranged on the support frame to drive the fixed seat to lift.

[0016] Advantages of the present invention:

[0017] 1. By arranging a pressing wheel assembly between the first two supporting wheels to press the cable into the water, and with the conveyance of the cable, cooling of the cable can be achieved; by arranging a wiping mechanism between the last two supporting wheels, a rotatable driven gear is arranged in the wiping mechanism, the cable passes through the through hole of the driven gear and is coaxial with it, and a wiping assembly is arranged in the driven gear.

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a water tank for a wire and cable extruder includes a water tank 1, the upper end of which is open to facilitate the cable to enter and exit the water tank 1; after the cable is extruded from the extruder, the end is pulled by a winding machine (for winding and packaging), so that the cable can be continuously transported and contacted with the cold water in the water tank 1, thereby cooling the cable;

[0028] Three support components 2 are arranged at the upper end of the water tank 1 along the moving direction of the cable to support the cable; Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly 2 includes a support seat 21 fixed to the upper end of the water tank 1, and a support wheel 22 is rotatably connected to the support seat 21. The cable can contact the support wheel 22. Under the rolling contact support of the support wheel 22 and the traction of the winding machine, the cable can be transported;

[0029] In this embodiment, a first annular groove 221 is provided on the outer circumference of the support wheel 22, and the cable is located in the first annular groove 221, thereby effectively preventing the cable from being separated from the support wheel 22 and improving the stability of cable transportation.

[0030] A pressure wheel assembly 3 is provided between the first two support wheels 22 (the first and second support wheels 22 viewed along the cable conveying direction), and the pressure wheel assembly 3 can press the cable into the water tank 1 and immerse it in water, thereby achieving cooling of the cable;

[0031] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the pressing wheel assembly 3 includes a support frame 31 fixed to the upper end of the water tank 1. A fixed seat 33 capable of lifting and adjusting is provided on the support frame 31. A pressing wheel 34 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the fixed seat 33. By controlling the lowering of the fixed seat 33, the pressing wheel 34 can press the cable into the water for cooling.

[0032] In this embodiment, a second annular card slot 341 is formed on the outer circle of the pressing wheel 34, and the cable is located in the second annular card slot 341, so as to prevent the cable from detaching from the pressing wheel 34 and causing the cable to fail to be pressed into the water for cooling.

[0033] In addition, in this embodiment, a first cylinder 32 is fixed to the upper end of the support frame 31. The end of the driving shaft of the first cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 33. Driven by the first cylinder 32, the fixed seat 33 can be lifted and lowered, thereby driving the pressing wheel 34 to be lifted and lowered.

[0034] Of course, the method of driving the pressing wheel 34 to be lifted and lowered includes but is not limited to the structure of the first cylinder 32 in this embodiment. In some embodiments, a hydraulic cylinder, a telescopic rod and other linear driving components can also be provided on the support frame 31 to directly drive the fixed seat 33 to be lifted and lowered, so as to drive the pressing wheel 34 to be lifted and lowered.

[0035] A wiping mechanism 4 is provided between the latter two support wheels 22 (the second and third support wheels 22 when viewed in the cable conveying direction). The wiping mechanism 4 can wipe the surface of the cable after water cooling to remove the water stains on the surface of the cable.

[0036] As Figure 4 shown, the wiping mechanism 4 includes a support plate 41 fixed to the upper end of the water tank 1. A driven gear 42 is rotatably connected to the support plate 41. Through holes that are coaxial with each other are formed at the central position of the driven gear 42 and the upper end of the support plate 41. The cable passes through the two through holes and is connected to the winding machine, and the cable is coaxial with the driven gear 42. A motor is fixed to the support plate 41, and a driving gear 43 is fixed to the end of the driving shaft of the motor. The driving gear 43 meshes with the driven gear 42. When the motor runs, it can drive the driven gear 42 to rotate.

[0037] A wiping assembly 44 is provided on one side of the driven gear 42. As Figure 5 shown, the wiping assembly 44 includes a first fixing plate 441 fixed to one side of the driven gear 42. A connecting plate 443 capable of adjusting the position is provided on the first fixing plate 441. A sponge 444 is fixed to the lower end of the connecting plate 443. By adjusting the position of the connecting plate 443, the sponge 444 can act on the surfaces of cables with different diameters, and with the rotation of the driven gear 42, the wiping effect can be fully improved.

[0038] In this embodiment, a second cylinder 442 is fixed on the first fixing plate 441, and a connecting plate 443 is fixedly connected to the end of the driving shaft of the second cylinder 442. Driven by the second cylinder 442, the sponge 44 can approach or move away from the cable. In other embodiments, a linear driving component such as a hydraulic cylinder and a telescopic rod can be arranged on the first fixing plate 441 to directly drive the displacement adjustment of the connecting plate 443.

[0039] On the side of the cable facing away from the wiping assembly 44, a drying assembly 5 is provided. The drying assembly 5 is installed on the driven gear 42 and rotates with the driven gear 42, capable of blowing air on the surface of the wiped cable to accelerate the removal of water stains. Moreover, the drying assembly 5 can also dry the sponge 444 to ensure the subsequent wiping and drying effect.

[0040] As Figure 6 shown, the drying assembly 5 includes a second fixing plate 51 fixed on the driven gear 42. On one side of the second fixing plate 51, a hair dryer 52 is fixed. On one side of the hair dryer 52, an air blowing pipe 53 is connected. The air blowing pipe 53 can blow air on the cable and the sponge 444.

[0041] Moreover, in this embodiment, on the side of the second fixing plate 51 facing away from the hair dryer 52, a heater 54 is provided. Multiple heating pipes are arranged on the heater 54. The air blown out by the hair dryer 52 is heated by the heater 54 and then blown onto the cable and the sponge 444 to further improve the drying effect.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] By arranging a pressing wheel assembly 3 between the first two support wheels 22, the cable is pressed into the water, and with the conveyance of the cable, the cooling of the cable can be achieved. By arranging a wiping mechanism 4 between the last two support wheels 22, a rotatable driven gear 42 is arranged in the wiping mechanism 4. The cable passes through the through hole of the driven gear 42 and is coaxial with it. A wiping assembly 44 is arranged in the driven gear 42. The position-adjustable sponge 444 in the wiping assembly 44 is used to wipe the surface of the cable to remove the water stains on the surface of the cable after water cooling, and it can be applicable to cables with different diameters to wipe the water stains. By arranging a drying assembly 5 on the side of the cable facing away from the wiping assembly 44, and the drying rotates with the driven gear 42, the surface of the wiped cable can be blown to accelerate the removal of water stains. In addition, the drying assembly 5 can also dry the sponge 444 to ensure the subsequent wiping and drying effect.
