Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of punching equipment, in particular to an automatic screen changing device for a granulator without stopping the machine. Background Art

[0002] During polymer extrusion production, the melt undergoes long periods of plasticization and heating, which can produce residue. This residue, combined with impurities and unplasticized particles in the raw materials, can cause flow blockage or product defects once it enters the extrusion die, hindering normal production. Therefore, in plastic extrusion production, a filter is installed between the pelletizer and the die to remove impurities and obtain high-quality products. However, during waste plastic recycling, the high impurity content in the waste plastic can clog the filter during discharge, disrupting normal production and discharging. Therefore, the filter needs to be replaced regularly.

[0003] The existing filter structure of the existing granulator, such as the plastic granulator with replaceable filter disclosed in Chinese Patent Authorization Announcement No. CN202964970U, has two filters installed on the filter seat. The filter seat is connected to a drive device. When the filter needs to be replaced, the drive device drives the filter seat to move, pushing the new filter to the working position and pushing out the old filter. However, when replacing the old filter, the filter needs to be manually replaced. First, the staff needs to remove the blockage, then tear off the filter and replace it with a new one. Due to the high temperature required by the granulator when plasticizing the material, there is a risk of burns when manually cleaning. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0034] In the embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the automatic screen changing device for the granulator without stopping includes a frame, a filter seat 1 is installed on the frame, at least two filter seats 2 are provided in the filter seat 1, the filter seat 2 is provided with a mounting groove 3 for placing the filter, the frame is provided with a first power element 4 for driving the filter seat 2 to move back and forth, and further includes:

[0035] The scraper assembly is arranged in the filter seat 1 and has a first position for contacting the filter screen and a second position for leaving the filter screen;

[0036] A through hole 5 is provided in the mounting groove 3;

[0037] A push rod 6 is arranged in the through hole 5;

[0038] The ejector assembly 7 is arranged below the filter seat 2 and is used to push the ejector rod 6 upward;

[0039] The first net taking mechanism is arranged on one side of the ejector assembly 7;

[0040] The second net taking mechanism is arranged on the other side of the ejector assembly 7.

[0041] The No. 1 power element is a 4-position cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, and a pressure sensor is installed in the filter seat 1. When the pressure of the blockage in the filter seat 1 reaches a certain value, the pressure sensor transmits a signal to the control center. The control center controls the No. 1 power element 4 to push out the filter seat 2. During the pushing process of the filter seat 2, the scraper assembly scrapes off the blockage on the filter screen, and then the ejector assembly 7 ejects the ejector rod 6. The ejector rod 6 pushes the filter screen away from the installation slot 3, and the No. 2 net removal mechanism removes the old filter screen, and the No. 1 net removal mechanism places the new filter screen in the installation slot 3. Finally, the filter seat 2 is reset; thereby realizing automatic screen replacement, which not only saves the company's production costs, but also improves work efficiency.

[0042] In the first embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the scraper assembly includes a rotating shaft 8 and a first scraper 9 mounted on the rotating shaft 8. The rotating shaft 8 is provided with a feed port 10, and one end of the rotating shaft 8 is provided with a discharge hole 11 for communicating with the feed port 10. When the filter screen needs to be replaced and the filter seat 2 is moved outward, the rotating shaft 8 is driven by the motor to rotate, allowing the first scraper 9 to contact the filter screen. The first scraper 9 scrapes away the blocked material, which enters the discharge hole 11 through the feed port 10 and is then discharged.

[0043] In the second embodiment, Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, the scraper assembly includes a No. 2 scraper 12 and a No. 2 power element 13 for driving the No. 2 scraper 12 to rise and fall. The filter seat 2 is provided with a storage chamber 14 for communicating with the rear end of the mounting slot 3. The frame is installed with a baffle plate 15 for cooperating with the storage chamber 14. The No. 2 power element 13 is a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. When the filter needs to be replaced and the filter seat 2 moves outward, the No. 2 power element 13 drives the No. 2 scraper 12 to descend and contact the filter, and the blocked material on the filter enters the storage chamber 14. When the filter is replaced, the filter seat 2 is reset. Since the baffle plate 15 does not move, the material in the storage chamber 14 will be pushed onto the new filter for re-filtration, so that there is no waste of molten material.

[0044] In the second embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the filter seat 2 is provided with guide grooves 16 for cooperating with both sides of the second scraper 12. The straightness of the lifting and lowering of the second scraper 12 is ensured, thereby ensuring the cooperation between the second scraper 12 and the filter screen.

[0045] In the second embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 6 As shown, the ejector assembly 7 includes an ejector 71 and a lifting device 72 for driving the ejector 71 to rise and fall. A first mounting plate 73 is provided between the ejector 71 and the lifting device 72. The lifting device 72 is a screw lifter for driving the ejector 71 to extend into the through hole 5 and eject the ejector rod 6, thereby allowing the filter to be separated from the mounting slot 3.

[0046] Connecting plates 74 are provided on either side of the first mounting plate 73. A second mounting plate 75 is located at the top of the connecting plates 74. The ejector pin 71 is also located on the bottom of the second mounting plate 75. The connecting plates 74 are equipped with a guide rail mechanism 76. The guide rail mechanism 76 ensures the straightness of the ejector pin 71 during its ascent and descent. Once a new filter is placed in the mounting slot 3, the second mounting plate 75 descends, fully resetting the ejector pin 6 and ensuring a smooth and even installation of the new filter.

[0047] In the embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple push rods 6, and the multiple push rods 6 are arranged in a square array. The circumference of the old filter screen can be evenly lifted up to facilitate the grabbing of the second net-taking mechanism.

[0048] In the embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 7As shown, the No. 1 and No. 2 net removal mechanisms each include a horizontal moving device 17 and a vertical moving device 18 that cooperate with each other. The No. 1 net removal mechanism also includes an electromagnet 19 disposed on the vertical moving device 18. The No. 2 net removal mechanism also includes a No. 1 clamping plate 20 and a No. 2 clamping plate 21 disposed on the vertical moving device 18. The No. 1 clamping plate 20 is equipped with a No. 3 power element 22. The horizontal moving device 17 and the vertical moving device 18 both include a gear rack assembly, which achieves horizontal and vertical movement by rotating the gears driven by a motor. The electromagnet 19 is used to absorb the stacked new filter screens, and the No. 3 power element 22 is a cylinder that drives the No. 1 clamping plate 20 and the No. 2 clamping plate 21 to cooperate and clamp the old filter screen on the filter screen holder 2.

[0049] In the embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a coarse filter is provided at the feed inlet of the filter seat 1. The molten material is coarsely filtered to reduce the number of filter screen replacements.

[0050] In the embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the coarse filter includes a barrel 23, a filter cartridge 24 is provided in the barrel 23, a gap is provided between the outer wall of the filter cartridge 24 and the inner wall of the barrel 23, a screw 25 is provided in the filter cartridge 24, and the barrel 23 is provided with a feed channel 26 for communicating with the filter cartridge 24, a No. 1 discharge port 27 for communicating with the filter cartridge 24, and a No. 2 discharge port 28 for communicating with the feed port of the filter seat 1. The melt enters the filter cartridge 24, then flows out from the circumference of the filter cartridge 24, enters the filter seat 1 through the No. 2 discharge port 28, and some large particles of impurities remain in the filter cartridge 24 and are discharged from the No. 1 discharge port 27 through the screw 25, achieving coarse filtration of the melt, and then reaches the filter screen in the filter screen seat 2 for high-mesh filtration.

[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible.
