Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of plastic granulation equipment, and relates to a cooling tank with a wire break alarm function. Background Art
[0002] During the plastic granulation process, the raw materials need to be stirred evenly and then introduced into an extruder to be extruded into long and thin strips after heating. In order to quickly cool and solidify the extruded plastic wire, it generally needs to pass through a cooling water tank and be quickly cooled under the action of cold water, and then the long and thin strip-shaped plastic is pulled into a cutting machine to be cut into particles. The material extruded by the extruder will continuously move forward under the traction of the granulator. In actual production, the strip-shaped plastic extruded and formed sometimes breaks, resulting in the granulator being unable to play a continuous traction role, and then causing a large amount of material to accumulate at the front end of the cooling water tank. Moreover, due to a large number of materials and mostly multiple production lines producing simultaneously, it is always difficult to be discovered by manual labor in a short time, resulting in a large amount of waste, reducing production efficiency and wasting materials. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a cooling tank with a wire break alarm function for the above problems existing in the prior art, so that it can emit an alarm in time when the extruded and formed material breaks, remind the staff to eliminate the fault in time, and ensure the continuous and smooth progress of production.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by the following technical solutions: A cooling tank with a wire break alarm function includes a frame. A water cooling tank and a draining tank are fixed on the top of the frame, and the draining tank is fixed at the tail end of the water cooling tank. It is characterized in that an installation frame and an audible and visual alarm are fixed at the top end of the draining tank. A plurality of guide rollers are rotatably connected to the installation frame. Each guide roller straddles the top end of the draining tank, and guide grooves are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the guide rollers. An installation plate is detachably installed on the top of the installation frame. The installation plate is located between two of the guide rollers, and a plurality of proximity switches are fixed on the installation plate.
[0005] The advantages of the utility model are as follows:
[0006] This cooling tank has a wire break alarm function, so that when a wire break occurs, it can timely remind the staff to eliminate the fault, ensure the continuity of production, improve production efficiency, and avoid material waste. Brief Description of the Drawings
[0007] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of this cooling tank.
[0008] Figure 2 It is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the installation frame.
[0009] In the figure, 1 is the frame; 2 is the water cooling tank; 3 is the water draining tank; 4 is the mounting bracket; 5 is the sound and light alarm; 6 is the guide roller; 7 is the mounting plate; 8 is the proximity switch. Specific embodiments
[0010] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further describe the technical solutions of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0011] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a cooling tank with a wire break alarm function includes a frame 1. A water cooling tank 2 and a water draining tank 3 are fixed to the top of the frame 1, and the water draining tank 3 is fixed to the tail end of the water cooling tank 2; a mounting bracket 4 and a sound and light alarm 5 are fixed to the top end of the water draining tank 3. A plurality of guide rollers 6 are rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 4, and each guide roller 6 straddles the top end of the water draining tank 3, and guide grooves are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the guide rollers 6; a mounting plate 7 is detachably mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 4. The mounting plate 7 is located between two of the guide rollers 6, and a plurality of proximity switches 8 are fixed to the mounting plate 7.
[0012] Working principle: The material extruded and formed by the extruder is cooled by the water cooling tank 2 and then pulled into the water draining tank 3, and then wound in the guide grooves of the guide rollers 6 and continuously advances under the traction of the granulator. Each proximity switch 8 on the mounting plate 7 is exactly aligned with each slender strip of material. In this way, when the material does not break, each proximity switch 8 can always obtain a signal. When a material breaks, under the traction of the granulator, the pulled end will eventually be completely pulled out of this cooling tank, and the un-pulled end cannot move forward due to the lack of traction force. Therefore, when a wire break occurs, at least one proximity switch 8 will lose the signal. We can set a controller in this cooling water tank. When a wire break occurs, the signal received by the controller will definitely change. At this time, the controller can control the sound and light alarm 5 to issue an alarm, reminding the staff to troubleshoot in time, ensuring the smooth and continuous production, and thus improving the production efficiency.
[0013] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art of the present invention can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
