[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0031] The present application discloses a high-efficiency cooling casting machine for producing polypropylene film. Figure 1It includes a frame 1, a cooling roller 12, and a fan 2. A body 14 is provided on the frame 1. An extrusion die 11 is fixedly provided on the frame 1 at one end of the body 14. The cooling roller 12 is rotatably provided on the frame 1. The cooling roller 12 is located on the side of the extrusion die 11 facing away from the body 14. Cooling liquid flows inside the cooling roller 12. The cooling liquid is introduced into or out of the cooling roller 12 from the axis of the cooling roller 12 through a water pipe. A guide roller 13 for guiding the movement of the cast film is also rotatably provided on the frame 1. When in use, the molten cast film material is extruded through the frame 1, and the cast film material passes through the die of the extrusion die 11 to form a high-temperature cast film. The high-temperature cast film reaches the outer wall of the cooling roller 12. The cooling water cools the cooling roller 12, thereby performing preliminary and rapid cooling on the cast film, so that the cast film is initially shaped.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cooling hood 3 is also fixedly installed on the frame 1. The cooling hood 3 is located between the guide roller 13 and the cooling roller 12. A cooling port 35 is provided in the middle of the cooling hood 3 for the cast film to pass through. The cooling hood 3 includes an inner plate 31, an outer plate 32, and a side plate 33. The cooling port 35 is a hollow area formed by the inner plate 31 surrounding the cast film, specifically a flat gap adapted to the width of the cast film. The outer plate 32 is arranged around the inner plate 31, with a gap between the inner plate 31 and the outer plate 32. The side plate 33 is fixedly connected to both the inner plate 31 and the outer plate 32. The inner plate 31, the outer plate 32, and the side plate 33 together surround a closed space as a cooling bin 34, which contains a heat-absorbing liquid. An air inlet 343 and an air outlet 344 are provided on the outer plate 32. The air inlet 343 or the air outlet 344 is connected to the fan 2. If the air inlet 343 is connected to the fan 2, the fan 2 blows air into the cooling chamber 34 through the air inlet 343. If the air outlet 344 is connected to the fan 2, the fan 2 draws air into the cooling chamber 34 through the air outlet 344. The outer panels 32 and the side panels 33 are made of a heat-insulating material, such as bakelite, and the inner panel 31 is made of a heat-conducting material, such as an aluminum alloy. The heat-absorbing liquid can be water.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the cast film leaves the cooling roller 12, the guide roller guides the cast film into the cooling port 35 of the cooling cover 3, and the fan 2 guides the air flow from the air inlet 343 into the cooling bin 34 and then leaves from the air outlet 344, which not only discharges the heat in the cooling bin 34, but also accelerates the air flow in the cooling bin 34, speeds up the evaporation rate of the heat-absorbing liquid, and quickly cools the cooling bin 34, thereby quickly absorbing the heat in the cooling port 35 and further cooling the cast film passing through the cooling port 35.

[0034] In order to ensure sufficient supply of heat absorbing liquid and the sustainability of cooling work of cooling cover 3, refer to Figure 2The cooling chamber 34 is equipped with a first water trough 311 and a second water trough 321. The first water trough 311 is fixed to the top of the inner plate 31, and the second water trough 321 is fixed to the bottom of the outer plate 32. Both the first water trough 311 and the second water trough 321 are used to hold heat-absorbing liquid. The heat-absorbing liquid is layered within the cooling chamber 34: one layer in the first water trough 311, located on the top side of the cast film; the other layer in the second water trough 321, located on the bottom side of the cast film, improving the uniformity of heat absorption from the cooling holes.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 A first water supply pipe 36 and a second water supply pipe 37 are installed in the cooling chamber 34. Specifically, the first water supply pipe 36 and the second water supply pipe 37 extend through and are fixed to the outer plate 32. One end of each of the first water supply pipe 36 and the second water supply pipe 37 extends out of the cooling chamber 34, while the other end of the first water supply pipe 36 extends into the first water tank 311, and the other end of the second water supply pipe 37 extends into the second water tank 321. A liquid level sensor 38 is installed in each of the first water tank 311 and the second water tank 321. Two indicator lights 39 are installed on the outer plate 32, one of which is electrically connected to one of the indicator lights 39, and the other is electrically connected to the other indicator light 39. The liquid level sensors 38 are used to detect the liquid levels of the heat-absorbing liquid in the first water tank 311 and the second water tank 321. When the heat-absorbing liquid in the first water tank 311 and the second water tank 321 is insufficient, the corresponding liquid level sensor 38 will send a signal to the prompt light 39 electrically connected to it. The prompt light 39 lights up, reminding the staff to replenish the heat-absorbing liquid to the first water tank 311 through the first water replenishment pipe 36 in time, or to replenish the heat-absorbing liquid to the second water tank 321 through the second water replenishment pipe 37, so as to ensure sufficient supply of heat-absorbing liquid and ensure the sustainability of the cooling work of the cooling cover 3.

[0036] In order to enhance the structural strength of the cooling cover 3 and prevent the cooling cover 3 from bulging or sinking, Figure 2 A plurality of reinforcing ribs 341 are provided between the inner plate 31 and the outer plate 32 , one end of the reinforcing rib 341 is fixedly connected to the outer plate 32 , and the other end of the reinforcing rib 341 is fixedly connected to the inner plate 31 .

[0037] In order to prevent the flowing gas from entering the cooling chamber 34 from the air inlet 343 and then directly escaping from the air outlet 344, Figure 2A partition plate 342 is provided in the cooling chamber 34. The top of the partition plate 342 is fixedly connected to the outer plate 32, the bottom of the partition plate 342 is fixedly connected to the inner plate 31 through the bottom of the first water tank 311, and the end of the partition plate 342 is fixedly connected to the side plate 33. The air inlet 343 and the air outlet 344 are both provided near the partition plate 342. The air inlet 343 is located on one side of the partition plate 342, and the air outlet 344 is located on the other side of the partition plate 342. When the flowing gas enters the cooling chamber 34 from the air inlet 343, the flowing gas needs to fully circle the cooling chamber 34 before reaching the air outlet 344. During this process, the flowing gas fully contacts the surface of the heat-absorbing liquid, ensuring the cooling effect on the cooling holes.

[0038] The implementation principle of the high-efficiency cooling casting machine for producing polypropylene film in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: during the production process of polypropylene film, the frame 1 extrude molten polypropylene fluid, and a high-temperature cast film is formed through the die opening of the extrusion die 11, which is first subjected to preliminary rapid cooling and shaping at the cooling roller 12. Then, the cast film enters the cooling port 35 of the cooling hood 3 under the guidance of the guide roller 13. The fan 2 works to guide the gas to flow rapidly from the air inlet 343 to the air outlet 344 in the cooling bin 34. The flow of air accelerates the discharge of heat in the cooling bin 34, and accelerates the air flow rate on the surface of the heat-absorbing liquid in the first water tank 311 and the second water tank 321, prompting the heat-absorbing liquid to evaporate quickly, quickly reducing the temperature of the cooling bin 34, and further cooling the cast film passing through the cooling port 35. In this process, the flowing gas does not directly contact the cast film, and the problems of bulging, warping and deformation of the cast film are avoided as much as possible, thereby ensuring the flatness and product quality of the film after forming.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
