[0002] Thermoplastic elastomers, also known as artificial rubber or synthetic rubber, have the excellent properties of high elasticity, aging resistance, and oil resistance of traditional cross-linked vulcanized rubber, and at the same time have the characteristics of convenient processing and wide processing methods of ordinary plastics. Thermoplastic elastomers can be produced by extrusion processing. Usually, an injection molding machine is used to heat the thermoplastic elastomer to a temperature above its melting point to make it molten. The molten thermoplastic elastomer is extruded through an extruder and formed into strips through a molding die. The strips of thermoplastic elastomer need to be cooled in a cooling water tank. After passing through the cooling water tank, the surface of the thermoplastic elastomer needs to be dried. The dried thermoplastic elastomer can be pelletized.

The cloth absorbs more water after long-term use and needs to be replaced. Since the way of setting the cloth is inefficient, the pelletizing efficiency of the thermoplastic elastomer is affected, and this problem needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

Detailed implementation manners
[0031] The following further elaborates on the present application with reference to the Figures 1-5 drawings for a more detailed description.
[0032] Embodiment 1:
[0033] The present application discloses a thermoplastic elastomer air drying device. As shown in Figure 1 and 2 , it includes a base 1, on which a fan 2 is fixedly installed. The output end of the fan 2 is connected to an air outlet pipe 3, and the length direction of the air outlet pipe 3 is vertical. One end of the air outlet pipe 3 far from the fan 2 is fixedly connected to an air outlet hood 4, and the air outlet hood 4 is in communication with the air outlet pipe 3. Air outlet holes 41 are opened below the air outlet hood 4, and an auxiliary groove 42 is opened at the orifice of the air outlet holes 41. An operator can drive the fan 2, and the air of the fan 2 enters the air outlet hood 4 through the air outlet pipe 3 and is blown out through the air outlet holes 41. Due to the setting of the auxiliary groove 42, the air in the air outlet hood 4 can be pressurized and discharged, achieving the effect of an air knife and enhancing the wind force at the air outlet holes 41.
[0034] As shown in Figure 1 and 3As shown, a storage box 5 is fixedly connected to the air outlet pipe 3. The storage box 5 is located below the air outlet hood 4. Two rotating rollers 51 are rotatably connected to the storage box 5, and the thermoplastic elastomer is placed on the rotating rollers 51. A drain pipe 52 is connected below the storage box 5, and a control valve 521 is installed on the drain pipe 52. A support block 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 5. A filter screen 531 is provided in the storage box 5, and the filter screen 531 is placed on the support block 53. When the thermoplastic elastomer needs to be air-dried, the operator places the thermoplastic elastomer on the two rotating rollers 51. The rotating rollers 51 can support the thermoplastic elastomer. After the air from the fan 2 passes through the air outlet pipe 3 and the air outlet hood 4, it blows out from the air outlet holes 41, blowing off the water on the surface of the thermoplastic elastomer to air-dry the thermoplastic elastomer. The water on the thermoplastic elastomer is blown into the storage box 5. The storage box 5 can store the water, reducing the impact of water on the working environment. When it is necessary to drain the water in the storage box 5, the operator can open the control valve 521 to drain the water in the storage box 5 through the drain pipe 52, facilitating the subsequent water storage of the storage box 5. The operator can place the filter screen 531 on the support block 53. The support block 53 can support the filter screen 531 to realize the installation of the filter screen 531. The filter screen 531 can filter the particles on the thermoplastic elastomer, reducing the possibility of the drain pipe 52 being blocked by the particles flowing into the storage box 5, and further facilitating the water storage work of the storage box 5.
[0035] As Figure 1 and 4As shown in the figure, a sliding rod 54 slides relatively on the storage box 5. The sliding direction of the sliding rod 54 is the vertical direction, and the length direction of the sliding rod 54 is the same as the length direction of the rotating roller 51. The rotating roller 51 is sleeved on the sliding rod 54, and the rotating roller 51 is rotatably connected to the sliding rod 54. A positioning component 6 is provided on the storage box 5. The positioning component 6 includes a support frame 61 and a first bolt 62. The support frame 61 is fixedly connected to the storage box 5. An oblong hole 611 is formed in the support frame 61. The first bolt 62 slides in the oblong hole 611, and the first bolt 62 is threadedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 54. When drying thermoplastic elastomers of different sizes is required, the operator needs to adjust the height of the rotating roller 51 so as to adjust the distance between the thermoplastic elastomer and the orifice of the air outlet hole 41. When the height of the rotating roller 51 needs to be adjusted, the operator can move the sliding rod 54. The movement of the sliding rod 54 can drive the movement of the rotating roller 51 and the first bolt 62, so that the first bolt 62 slides in the oblong hole 611. The oblong hole 611 can limit the sliding of the first bolt 62, thereby limiting the sliding of the sliding rod 54. After the sliding rod 54 moves to a suitable position, the operator can tighten the first bolt 62 so that the first bolt 62 rotates to abut against the orifice of the oblong hole 611. At this time, the first bolt 62 limits the sliding rod 54, so that the sliding rod 54 and the support frame 61 are positioned, thereby positioning the rotating roller 51 and the support frame 61, realizing the height adjustment of the rotating roller 51, and facilitating the rotating roller 51 to support thermoplastic elastomers of different sizes.
[0036] The implementation principle of a thermoplastic elastomer drying device according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0037] The operator moves the sliding rod 54 according to the size of the thermoplastic elastomer. When the sliding rod 54 moves to a suitable position, the first bolt 62 is tightened to position the sliding rod 54 and the support frame 61, thereby adjusting the height of the rotating roller 51. Then, the thermoplastic elastomer is placed on the rotating roller 51, and the blower 2 is driven. The blower 2 blows air into the air outlet cover 4 through the air outlet pipe 3 and blows it out through the air outlet holes 41, blowing the water on the thermoplastic elastomer into the storage box 5. The filter screen 531 can filter the particles on the thermoplastic elastomer. The storage box 5 can store water, and the water in the storage box 5 can be discharged through the drain pipe 52 by opening the control valve 521.
[0038] Embodiment 2:
[0039] As Figure 5As shown in the figure, the difference between the embodiment of the present application and Embodiment 1 is that the support frame 61 and the storage box 5 in the embodiment of the present application are detachably connected. A second bolt 63 is provided on the support frame 61, and the second bolt 63 passes through the support frame 61 and the storage box 5 and is threadedly connected. The operator can disassemble the support frame 61, thereby disassembling the sliding rod 54 and the rotating roller 51, facilitating the storage of the rotating roller 51, and reducing the possibility of damage to the surface of the rotating roller 51. When the support frame 61 needs to be installed, the operator can move the support frame 61 to a suitable position of the storage box 5, and then pass the second bolt 63 through the support frame 61 and the storage box 5 and threadedly connect them. And the second bolt 63 is rotated until it abuts against the support frame 61. At this time, the second bolt 63 can limit the support frame 61, so that the support frame 61 and the storage box 5 are fixed, thereby realizing the installation of the rotating roller 51 and facilitating the support of the thermoplastic elastomer by the rotating roller 51.
[0040] The implementation principle of a thermoplastic elastomer air-drying device in an embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0041] The operator can unscrew the second bolt 63 to release the limit of the second bolt 63 on the support frame 61, thereby disassembling the support frame 61 and the rotating roller 51, facilitating the cleaning or storage of the rotating roller 51; when the rotating roller 51 needs to be installed, the operator moves the support frame 61 onto the storage box 5. The movement of the support frame 61 can drive the movement of the rotating roller 51, and the support frame 61 and the storage box 5 are fixed by the second bolt 63, thereby realizing the installation of the rotating roller 51.
[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application. The protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
