[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0028] See also Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a cooling device for polyester film with high elongation at break, comprising a pre-cooling tank 1, a cold water tank 2 and an air drying box 3 arranged in sequence from bottom to top, four support columns 4 are fixedly connected between the pre-cooling tank 1, the cold water tank 2 and the air drying box 3, a drainage pipe 11 is fixedly embedded in the side wall of the pre-cooling tank 1, and an extension plate 12 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the pre-cooling tank 1;

[0029] Specifically, the extension plate 12 is used to expand the bottom area of ​​the pre-cooling tank 1, which can improve the stability of the equipment. The main function of the drain pipe 11 is to discharge the cooling water in the pre-cooling tank 1, so that the cooling water can be replaced as needed during the production process to maintain a suitable cooling temperature. It is also convenient to drain the water in the pre-cooling tank 1 after production is completed, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of the equipment.

[0030] Furthermore, a first guide assembly 5 is installed in the pre-cooling tank 1, and the first guide assembly 5 includes an inlet groove 51 located on the side wall of the pre-cooling tank 1 and a first turning roller 52, a pressure roller 53 and a second turning roller 54 rotating between the inner walls on both sides of the pre-cooling tank 1, and the height of the pressure roller 53 is lower than the liquid level in the pre-cooling tank 1;

[0031] Specifically, the function of the pressure roller 53 is to press the film into the cooling liquid to ensure that the film is in full contact with the cooling liquid to achieve heat exchange, which is crucial for improving the elongation at break of the film. The film is initially cooled in the pre-cooling tank 1 to avoid the rapid change of the cooling temperature and the impact on the quality of the film.

[0032] Furthermore, a second guide assembly 6 is installed in the air drying box 3. The second guide assembly 6 includes a wire outlet groove 61 located on the side wall of the air drying box 3 and a plurality of first guide rollers 62 and a plurality of second guide rollers 63 rotatably connected between the inner walls of both sides of the air drying box 3. The first guide rollers 62 and the second guide rollers 63 are staggered so that a serpentine film is formed between the first guide rollers 62 and the second guide rollers 63.

[0033] Specifically, in the air drying box 3, the film passes around the first guide roller 62 and the second guide roller 63 in sequence, so that the film is arranged in a serpentine shape. By increasing the path length of the film in the air drying box 3, it is ensured that each part of the film can get sufficient hot air contact, achieving a more uniform drying effect.

[0034] Furthermore, a film transmission path is formed between the first guide assembly 5 and the second guide assembly 6. A water inlet pipe 21 is fixedly embedded on the side wall of the cold water trough 2. A cooling trough 22 is opened on the bottom wall of the cold water trough 2, and the cooling trough 22 is located on the film transmission path. The wire passing port 31, the cooling trough 22 and the second turning roller 54 are all located in the same vertical plane, so that the film between the first guide assembly 5 and the second guide assembly 6 is in a vertical state.

[0035] Specifically, when the film passes through the cooling trough 22 in a vertical state, the cooling water can contact the film more evenly, which helps to improve the uniformity of cooling, thereby improving the cooling effect of the film.

[0036] Furthermore, a wire passing opening 31 is provided on the lower side of the air drying box 3, and a positioning plate 32 is fixedly connected to both sides of the wire passing opening 31 and located on the lower side of the air drying box 3, and two guide rods 33 are slidably embedded on the positioning plate 32, and an extrusion bar 34 is fixedly connected between two adjacent guide rods 33, and a spring 35 is sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod 33 and located between the extrusion bar 34 and the positioning plate 32, so that a film is clamped between the two extrusion bars 34;

[0037] Specifically, the function of the spring 35 is to provide the necessary elastic force for the extrusion strip 34, so that the extrusion strip 34 can be tightly attached to the film and apply pressure evenly, so that the water droplets on the surface of the film can be squeezed off, preventing excessive moisture residue on the surface of the film from affecting the air-drying effect. It is worth noting that a sponge layer can be adhered to the surface of the extrusion strip 34 to absorb and block water droplets and avoid damage to the film.

[0038] Furthermore, two fans 36 are fixedly embedded on one side of the air drying box 3, and an exhaust frame 37 is fixedly embedded on the other side of the air drying box 3. A dustproof net 38 is fixed in the exhaust frame 37.

[0039] Specifically, the main function of the fan 36 is to generate wind to blow across the surface of the film, accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the film, and thus achieve rapid drying of the film. The main function of the dustproof net 38 is to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the air drying box 3, thereby keeping the environment inside the box clean.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] During use, under the traction of the winding device, the film passes through the wire feed slot 51 and bypasses the first turning roller 52, the pressure roller 53 and the second turning roller 54 in turn, so that the film can be cooled in the pre-cooling slot 1. After that, the film passes through the cooling slot 22 and the wire port 31 from bottom to top and enters the air-drying box 3, and the cold water in the cold water slot 2 flows downward into the pre-cooling slot 1 through the gap between the cooling slot 22 and the film, increasing the heat exchange area and time between the cold water and the film, and improving the cooling efficiency of the film. During this process, the spring 35 pushes the extrusion bar 34 to stick to the film, so that water droplets on the surface of the film can be squeezed off, preventing excessive moisture residue on the surface of the film from affecting the air-drying effect. In the air-drying box 3, the film bypasses the first guide roller 62 and the second guide roller 63 in turn, so that the film is arranged in a serpentine shape. The hot air blown out by the fan 36 passes through the tortuous area of ​​the film, which can quickly take away the moisture on the surface of the film, thereby drying the film.
