[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "provided with," "connected," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention is a blade changing mechanism of a pelletizer, comprising a blade shaft 1 and a blade 2. A plurality of equally spaced mounting grooves 3 are arranged around the circumferential side wall of the blade shaft 1. A plurality of mounting holes 4 are opened on both planar side walls of the blade shaft 1, each of which is in one-to-one communication with the mounting grooves 3. A screw 5 is provided in each mounting hole 4.
[0028] The blade 2 includes a blade head 6 and a blade seat 7. The shape and structure of the blade seat 7 are matched with the shape and structure of the mounting groove 3, so that the blade seat 7 can be inserted into the mounting groove 3. The two side walls of the blade seat 7 along the width direction are provided with screw holes 8 corresponding to the screw rod 5.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cutter shaft 1 and blades 2 of the present invention are installed in the pelletizing chamber 16 of a pelletizer 15. This installation is achieved through a rotational connection between a rotating shaft provided in the pelletizing chamber 16 and a through-hole 14 drilled in the center of the cutter shaft 1. During operation, the motor in the pelletizer 15 drives the rotating shaft and cutter shaft, ultimately driving the multiple blades 2 to cut the plastic strips or sheets extruded by the extruder and fed into the pelletizing chamber into pellets. The principles of the rotating shaft, extruder, pelletizer 15, and pelletizing chamber 16, as well as their interconnections, are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be further elaborated here.
[0030] In this embodiment, the biggest difference compared with the prior art is that the mounting groove 3 of the blade 2 does not completely penetrate the circumferential side wall of the cutter shaft 1, and there is no need to add a mounting plate to fix the blade 2 from both sides. Instead, the mounting groove 3 is set in the middle of the circumferential side wall of the cutter shaft 1. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are 24 corresponding mounting slots 3 and blades 2, and mounting holes 4 that can communicate with the mounting slots 3 are provided on both flat side walls of the blade shaft 1. At the same time, screw holes 8 are provided on both side walls of the blade seat 7 along the width direction, so that screws 5 can be passed through the mounting holes 4 and fixedly connected to the screw holes 8 from both sides to achieve the installation of the blade 2; when disassembling and replacing, it is only necessary to loosen the screws 5 on both sides, then remove the blade 2 from the mounting slot 3, then put a new blade 2 into the mounting slot 3, and finally tighten the screws 5 on both sides to achieve the replacement of the blade 2. Therefore, the utility model can facilitate the disassembly, assembly and replacement of a single blade 2. Furthermore, an electric device can be provided to automatically control the electric screwdriver to tighten or loosen the screws 5 on both sides of the blade 2 to be replaced, which can further save the effort and time of replacing the blade 2, and is conducive to further improving the convenience and efficiency of replacing the blade 2.
[0031] At the same time, the present invention secures the blade 2 by fixing the blade 2 with the screws 5 on both sides, ensuring that the blade 2 is securely mounted. Compared to the prior art, the present invention has a simple structure and does not require additional auxiliary devices, which is beneficial for saving design and installation costs. The screws 5 can be connected to washers, which can increase friction and provide a buffering and protective effect, thereby preventing significant damage to components such as the blade shaft 1 and the screws 5, thereby increasing the service life of the components such as the screws 5.
[0032] Among them, in the present application, the mounting groove 3 can be obtained by cutting the circumferential side wall of the cutter shaft 1 by a milling cutter of a machine tool, and the mounting hole 4 and the screw hole 8 can be obtained by drilling the two planar side walls of the cutter shaft 1 on both sides and the two side walls of the cutter seat 7 along the width direction by a drill bit. The cutter shaft 1 and its through hole 14 can be made by injection molding or die casting in combination with a special mold, and the cutter head 6 and the cutter seat 7 can be fixedly connected by welding or the like, or can be die-cast or injection molded as a whole by a special mold.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the mounting groove 3 is a convex groove having a bent portion 13 .
[0034] Specifically, by setting the mounting slot 3 as follows Figure 7 The "convex"-shaped groove shown has a bending portion 13, which can play a certain fixing and limiting role on the knife holder 7 when the knife holder 7 is fully inserted and installed, facilitating the subsequent installation and fixation of the screw rod 5 to ensure that the blade 2 can be installed smoothly.
[0035] In an optional embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, a first protrusion 9 is provided at the bottom of the knife seat 7, and a first groove 10 is correspondingly provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 3.
[0036] Specifically, by setting the first protrusion 9 and the first groove 10 that match each other, when the blade 2 is installed, the first protrusion 9 and the first groove 10 can be aligned and assembled to play a certain limiting and fixing role on the knife seat 7, thereby facilitating the alignment of the screw 5 with the screw hole 8 for tightening, thereby facilitating the installation of the blade 2.
[0037] Furthermore, a plurality of first protrusions 9 and first grooves 10 are provided at equal intervals. By providing a plurality of first protrusions 9 and first grooves 10, the limiting and fixing function of the blade holder 7 during installation can be further enhanced, which is conducive to further facilitating the installation of the blade 2.
[0038] In an optional embodiment, as Figure 9 As shown, a second protrusion 11 is provided at the upper end of the side wall of the knife seat 7 along the length direction, and a second groove 12 is correspondingly provided on the inner side wall of the installation groove 3.
[0039] Specifically, the second protrusion 11 and the second groove 12 have the same function as the above-mentioned first protrusion 9 and the first groove 10. They can also play a certain role in limiting and fixing the knife seat 7, and also help to ensure that the screw hole 8 is stable and does not get misaligned with the screw rod 5 during installation, thereby ensuring that the blade 2 can be installed smoothly and quickly.
[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention.
