Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plastic film molding, and more specifically to an air knife auxiliary cooling device used for PETG heat shrinkable film casting molding. Background Art

[0002] PETG heat shrinkable film is mainly used as heat shrinkable label, and basically adopts casting + electrostatic adsorption casting method. When casting, the high-temperature melt is cast onto the smooth, low-temperature, high-speed rotating cold drum surface, and then adheres to the cold drum surface by electrostatic adsorption force, and is cooled to form a uniform thick sheet that meets the requirements of subsequent stretching process. However, some special varieties of PETG heat shrinkable film, such as wine bottle sleeve label film and other products, are thicker, at 70-80μm. When using the single drum-electrostatic adsorption casting method to produce such products, it is easy to produce the problem of uneven performance inside and outside the film. This is because during the casting process, the inner layer of the thin film is close to the cold drum (low temperature), while the outer layer is in contact with the air. The thermal conductivity of the PETG material is poor, resulting in inconsistent cooling rates inside and outside the thin film, which in turn causes certain performance differences in the longitudinal direction of the final formed film.

[0003] The utility model patent with patent publication number CN201921560182.2 discloses an air knife assisted cooling device for PETG heat shrink film casting and forming. By adding a set of equipment with cooling and pressurizing attached sheet functions on the basis of the original single drum-electrostatic adsorption casting and forming device, it can well assist in cooling and pressurizing the thin film cooled on the cold drum, and effectively improve the quality of the final formed film.

[0004] However, when this structure is actually used, the auxiliary cooling of the sheet is only achieved by cooling it with an air knife, so that only the outer surface of the sheet can be cooled, but the surface on the side where the sheet is in contact with the cold drum cannot be cooled, which results in uneven heating on both sides of the sheet and poor cooling effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above defects of the prior art, the utility model provides an air knife auxiliary cooling device for PETG heat shrinkable film casting to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0008] Through the above scheme, it can be seen that the annular protrusion is connected with the internal movable clamp of the cold drum, and then the air inlet pipe is connected with the annular protrusion, the fan is started, and air is introduced into the air inlet pipe through the fan, and then the gas passes through the refrigerator before entering the inside of the annular protrusion. The refrigerator cools the gas, and then the cooled gas enters the interlayer inside the cold drum, and the interlayer is connected to the connecting port, and then the surface of the connecting port radiates low-temperature gas to cool the surface of the sheet close to the cold drum, thereby improving the practicability of the device.

[0010] Through the above scheme, it can be seen that the motor is used to drive the rack to rise and fall inside the air knife body, so as to control the air knife wind speed, and avoid the sheet being blown off from the outer surface of the cold drum due to excessive wind speed. When the bottom of the rack seals the internal space of the air knife body, closing the air knife body can realize dust prevention for the interior of the air knife body by the bottom end of the rack, and prevent large particles from entering the air knife body and then being blown onto the sheet on the surface of the cold drum, thereby improving the practicability of the device.

By setting a rack and a rotating gear, the motor is used to drive the rack to rise and fall inside the air knife body, so as to control the wind speed of the air knife and prevent the sheet from being blown off the outer surface of the cold drum due to excessive wind speed.
