Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of straws, in particular to a straw water removal device. Background Art

[0002] Existing plastic straws or PLA straws are all prepared by an extrusion process. The extruded straw blanks are drawn through steps such as water cooling, water removal, and cutting to obtain finished straws. The straws coming out of the water cooling device have water on their surfaces and need to be removed before cutting. Existing straw manufacturers generally use compressed air blowing to remove the water on the straw surfaces, which requires a large amount of compressed air, high energy consumption, and poor economic benefits. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a straw water removal device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] A straw water removal device includes a cooling tank, in which at least one guiding component and at least one eccentric wheel component are provided; the guiding component is used to guide the straw through the cooling tank, and the eccentric wheel component is used to remove the water on the surface of the straw passing through the cooling tank by mechanical vibration.

[0006] The straws coming out of the water cooling device pass through the cooling tank under the action of the guiding component. During this process, the eccentric wheel component drives the straws to vibrate up and down at a high frequency, so that the water is separated from the straws, and the dried straws enter the cutting device.

[0007] Further, the eccentric wheel component includes a motor arranged on the outer side wall of the cooling tank, a wheel shaft coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and an eccentric wheel fixedly sleeved on the wheel shaft, and the outer contour line of the eccentric wheel contacts the surface of the straw.

[0008] The motor drives the eccentric wheel to rotate at a high speed, and the straws quickly vibrate up and down under the drive of the eccentric wheel, and the water on the surfaces of the straws is shaken off into the cooling tank and separated from the straws.

[0009] Further, the eccentric wheel is a peach-shaped cam, which intensifies the vibration of the straw and improves the water removal effect.

[0010] Further, the rotation speed of the motor is 3000 revolutions per minute. Within this range, the water removal effect and the safe operation of the motor can be taken into account.

[0011] Further, the guiding component includes a rotating shaft freely rotatably installed in the cooling tank, and two stoppers fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft at intervals; an annular U-shaped groove for passing the straw is formed between the two stoppers.

[0012] Further, the guiding assembly includes a rotating shaft freely rotatably mounted in the cooling tank, and a guiding wheel fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft; an annular U-shaped groove for passing the suction pipe is formed in the middle of the guiding wheel.

[0013] Further, the bottom of the cooling tank is V-shaped, and a water outlet pipe is connected to the lowest point of the V-shaped bottom wall. This facilitates the collection and separation of water.

[0014] Further, a cover plate is hinged to the top of the cooling tank, and the cover plate covers the cam vibration assembly and the guiding assembly. This prevents the separated water from splashing outside the cooling tank.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model: Compared with water removal by compressed air, this application can save 70% of energy consumption and has significant economic benefits.

[0016] The structure of the present utility model is simple, operates reliably, and has good water removal effect. Description of the Drawings

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings and a preferred embodiment.

[0021] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Embodiment 1 provides a straw water removal device, including a cooling tank 10 and a guiding assembly and an eccentric wheel assembly disposed in the cooling tank.

[0022] The cooling tank includes a long strip-shaped tank body and four legs for supporting the tank body. The tank body is provided with front, rear, left, and right side walls. The front side wall is provided with a U-shaped notch for passing the straw 100. The rear side wall is lower than the front side wall. The front sections of the left and right side walls are at the same height as the front side wall, and the rear sections are inclined towards the rear side wall. The top of the section at the same height as the front side wall is closed by a cover plate 11, and the top of the section inclined towards the rear side wall is open, facilitating the observation of the operation state of the straw. The cover plate 1 is hinged to the left side wall or the right side wall through a hinge. The bottom wall of the tank body is V-shaped, and the two ends of the V shape are connected to the front side wall and the rear side wall. A section of water outlet pipe 12 is connected to the lowest point of the bottom wall of the tank body.

[0023] In this embodiment, a guiding assembly 20 and an eccentric wheel assembly 30 are provided in the cooling tank 10. The guiding assembly 20 is arranged at the front end of the tank body and is used to guide the straw coming out of the water cooling tank into the cooling tank. The eccentric wheel assembly 30 is arranged at the rear side of the guiding assembly 20 and is used to remove the water on the surface of the straw by mechanical vibration. In other embodiments, multiple guiding assemblies and multiple eccentric wheel assemblies can also be provided. The multiple guiding assemblies are arranged at intervals, and the eccentric wheel assemblies are arranged between two adjacent guiding assemblies. When the water can be completely removed by using one eccentric wheel assembly 30, the number of guiding assemblies and eccentric wheel assemblies should be minimized as much as possible, so as to reduce the friction on the surface of the straw.

[0024] In this embodiment, the guiding assembly 20 includes a rotating shaft 22 freely rotatably installed in the cooling tank through a bearing seat 21, and two circular stoppers 23 fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 22 at intervals; an annular U-shaped groove for passing the straw is formed between the two stoppers 23. The two bearing seats 21 are respectively fixed on the outer sides of the left and right side walls of the cooling tank by screws, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 22 freely pass through the left and right side walls of the cooling tank and are rotatably arranged in the two bearing seats 21. The two stoppers 23 are respectively fixed on the middle part of the rotating shaft 22 by screws.

[0025] In another embodiment of the present application, the two stoppers 23 can be replaced by a guiding wheel. The guiding wheel is fixed on the middle part of the rotating shaft by screws, and an annular U-shaped groove for passing the straw is formed in the middle part of the outer circumferential surface of the guiding wheel.

[0026] In this embodiment, the guiding assembly 20 supports the lower side surface of the straw, and the straw coming out of the water cooling tank is slightly lifted and then enters the cooling tank, which can improve the tension of the straw and the water removal effect by vibration. It should be noted here that the straw passing through the cooling tank is usually in a tensioned state under the action of the traction device.

[0027] In other embodiments, when there are multiple guiding assemblies 20, except for the guiding assembly at the forefront, other guiding assemblies can also be set to be in contact with the upper surface and the lower surface of the straw respectively.

[0028] In this embodiment, the eccentric wheel assembly 30 includes a motor 31 arranged on the outer side wall of the cooling tank, a wheel shaft 32 coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and an eccentric wheel 33 fixedly sleeved on the wheel shaft. The outer contour line of the eccentric wheel contacts the surface of the straw. The eccentric wheel is a peach-shaped cam. The motor 31 is a 2-pole asynchronous motor.

[0029] The motor 31 is installed on the outer side of the left side wall or the right side wall of the tank body through a bracket. The motor shaft freely vertically passes through the side wall of the tank body. The wheel shaft 32 is arranged as a hollow structure, the rear end is sleeved on the motor shaft and fixed by screws, the front end is fixedly sleeved with a solid small shaft, and the peach-shaped cam is sleeved on the solid pin shaft and fastened by a locking nut.

[0030] When this application is in use:

[0031] In the installed state, the maximum rotation radius of the peach-shaped cam is vertically downward, and the top elevation of the eccentric wheel 33 is the same as the top elevation of the rotating shaft 22;

[0032] The straw enters from the U-shaped notch on the front side wall of the tank body and passes horizontally through the cooling tank. When the straw passes through the eccentric wheel assembly 30, the motor 31 drives the peach-shaped cam to rotate at a high speed, driving the straw to vibrate quickly up and down, so that the water on the surface of the straw is separated from the straw, collected at the bottom of the tank body, and flows out from the water outlet pipe 12.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can still be made, and these improvements and refinements are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
