The supercritical carbon dioxide injection device 4 is used to accurately inject the foaming agent into the twin-screw extruder, and the excellent plasticizing and mixing capabilities of the twin screw are used to evenly mix a trace amount of the foaming agent with the material. Through the temperature control adjustment of the single-screw extruders 2 and 3, the material reaches the strength required for foaming, and then extrude it through the die head 5 to form a micro-foam sheet with uniform pores, and then pass through the three-roll calender 6 and the cooling roller device 7 in sequence to cool and shape the sheet, and finally pass through the traction trimming device 8, and then collect the sheet into a roll through the three-station automatic winder 9.

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the implementation of the utility model clearer, the utility model will now be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the following examples so that the public can better understand the implementation method of the utility model. The specific implementation scheme of the utility model is as follows:
[0028] A TPU micro-foam sheet production equipment includes a frame 10, on which a feed bin 11, a drying bin 12 and a storage bin 13 connected in sequence are fixedly arranged, and a frame 14 is fixedly arranged in the feed bin 11, and the frame 14 is a cylindrical structure with upper and lower openings; one end of a conveyor A15 is connected to the feed bin 11, and the other end extends to the storage bin 13 through the drying bin 12, and the frame 14 is located above the conveyor A15; a conveyor B16 is located above the conveyor A15, and the distance between the lower end surface of the conveyor B16 and the upper end surface of the conveyor A15 is 3 mm in this embodiment, and in other embodiments In the embodiment, the discharge thickness can be adjusted according to the moisture content of the TPU particles. The lower the moisture content, the thicker the thickness, such as 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, and one end of the conveyor B16 is arranged on the side of the drying bin 12 close to the feed bin 11, and the other end extends to the storage bin 13; the conveyor belts of the conveyor A15 and the conveyor B16 are both nylon drying mesh belts. Through the air permeability of the nylon drying mesh belts, the hot air can penetrate it and directly act on the TPU particles to dry them, with high working efficiency, and the cooperation of the two conveyors can prevent the TPU particles from being blown away.
[0029] It should be noted that the horizontal cross-sectional width of the frame 14 is smaller than the width of the conveyor A15 to prevent the TPU particles from escaping from the outside of the conveyor; a discharge port is provided at the lower part of the frame 14 close to the drying bin 12, and the height of the discharge port is the same as the distance between the lower end face of the conveyor B16 and the upper end face of the conveyor A15. Except for the discharge port, the lower part of the frame 14 has a certain gap with the upper end face of the conveyor A15 to avoid contact and friction between the lower part of the frame 14 and the conveyor A15, and to ensure that the TPU particles do not leak out.
[0030] Specifically, conveyor A15 and conveyor B16 both include a driven roller, a driving roller, a support roller 17 and a reduction motor. The driven roller is arranged between the driving roller and the support roller 17. The driven roller is connected to the driving roller through a nylon drying mesh belt, and the driving roller is connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor.
[0031] The hot air blower is located at the lower part of the drying bin 12, and the air outlet of the hot air blower is connected to the drying bin 12 and is located at the lower part of the conveyor A15. The hot air blower includes a centrifugal fan 19, and a cover body 20 is arranged at the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 19 in a fixed structure manner. A heating pipe 21 is arranged in the cover body 20, and the other end of the cover body 20 is connected to the drying bin 12, and the TPU particles are dried by the hot air blower.
[0032] One end of the heating tube 21 extends to the outside of the cover body 20 , and a protective cover 22 for protecting the heating tube 21 is provided on the outside of the cover body 20 to prevent people from being injured by accidental contact.
[0033] It should be noted that a bracket 23 is fixedly provided at the lower part of the centrifugal fan 19 to increase the height and avoid dust inhalation caused by the air inlet of the centrifugal fan 19 being close to the ground.
[0034] The drying bin 12 includes a main body and a bin cover fixed on the upper end surface of the main body. The bin cover is connected to the main body and has a trapezoidal structure. The air outlet is arranged on the upper end surface of the bin cover, and an exhaust fan 18 is arranged at the air outlet. The air inlet of the exhaust fan 18 is connected to the air outlet to accelerate the discharge of water vapor.
[0035] It should be noted that each bin is separately arranged, and there is a passage between adjacent bins for the conveyor to pass through. Under the dual action of the centrifugal fan 19 and the exhaust fan 18, the water vapor entering the feed bin 11 and the storage bin 13 through the passage can be ignored.
[0036] The working principle and working process of the utility model are as follows: TPU particle raw materials are placed in the frame 14, and the conveyor A15, conveyor B16 and hot air blower are started. The TPU particles are taken out from the discharge port by the friction force of the nylon drying mesh belt. The TPU particles are conveyed into between the conveyor A15 and the conveyor B16. The centrifugal fan 19 blows the external air to the heating tube to form hot air to dehumidify the TPU particles in the conveyor. The dehumidified TPU particles are conveyed to the storage bin 13 and conveyed to the primary twin-screw extruder 2 through the vacuum feeder 1 to continue the subsequent work.
