Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermoplastic elastomer processing, in particular to a cooling device for thermoplastic elastomer. Background Art

[0002] Thermoplastic elastomer, also known as artificial rubber or synthetic rubber, has the high elasticity, aging resistance and oil resistance of traditional cross-linked vulcanized rubber. At the same time, it has the characteristics of easy plastic processing and a wide range of processing methods. It can be produced by injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and other processing methods. The edges and corners of the sprue can be directly reused after being crushed, which not only simplifies the processing process but also reduces the processing cost. Therefore, thermoplastic elastomer material has become the latest material to replace traditional rubber. It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, comfortable to the touch, and exquisite in appearance, making the product more creative. It is a new synthetic material with humanization and high grade, and it is also a world standard environmentally friendly material.

[0003] Thermoplastic elastomers are processed by extrusion. The surface temperature of the elastomer after extrusion is relatively high, and it needs to be cooled and shaped. Since the temperature of the newly processed elastomer is relatively high, water cooling cannot be used directly. The elastomer is first cooled by air cooling, and then the elastomer is cooled by water. After water cooling, the surface of the elastomer carries some water droplets or water stains, which will affect the work of the next process. Therefore, a cooling device for thermoplastic elastomer is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
