Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling equipment technology, specifically a rapid cooling device. Background Technology
[0002] Polystyrene is mainly used for foaming and molding, serving as insulation, heat insulation, shockproof, packaging materials, and floating products. Currently, after polystyrene plastic granules are processed and molded, cooling equipment is usually required to cool them down.
[0003] For example, a molding and cooling device for polystyrene plastic granules, with announcement number "CN214982392U," uses a conveyor belt and a blower to dry the plastic granules, improving their performance. The device incorporates a cooling tank, cooling water, and a serpentine bend, allowing for the recycling of cooling water resources without pollution or waste. The serpentine bend also provides thermal conductivity, increasing cooling efficiency. However, in this molding and cooling device, the polystyrene plastic granules do not come into contact with the cooling water; instead, they are transferred through the serpentine bend, requiring a considerable amount of time to cool, thus reducing work efficiency. Furthermore, the blower on the conveyor belt can cause some granules to fall off, making collection difficult for operators. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that polystyrene plastic granules do not come into contact with cooling water and are transported through a serpentine bend, requiring a long time to cool down, thus reducing work efficiency. In addition, the molding and cooling device for polystyrene plastic granules uses a blower to dry the polystyrene plastic granules on the conveyor belt, which easily causes some polystyrene plastic granules to fall off the conveyor belt, making it inconvenient for operators to collect them. Therefore, a rapid cooling device is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] Design a rapid cooling device, including a base plate, vertical plates, and horizontal plates. Vertical plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate, and the upper ends of the vertical plates are fixedly connected to the horizontal plates. A drying mechanism is provided inside the horizontal plates. A box is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper part of the base plate. Multiple nozzles are installed on both sides of the box. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the box. A filter frame is provided inside the box, and a sliding door is installed on the front side of the filter frame.
[0007] Preferably, a plurality of first motors are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical plate on the right, and a fan is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the first motor.
[0008] Preferably, the drying mechanism includes a second motor, with a first rotating rod fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the second motor. Both ends of the first rotating rod are rotatably connected to the horizontal plate via bearings. The outer walls of the first rotating rod are fixedly connected to the inner walls of two worm gears on both sides. The worm gears mesh with worm wheels. The upper ends of the worm wheel drive shafts are rotatably connected to the horizontal plate via bearings. The lower ends of the worm wheel drive shafts are fixedly connected to threaded rods. Both ends of the threaded rods are rotatably connected to the horizontal plate and the bottom plate respectively via bearings. The outer walls of the threaded rods are threadedly connected to a movable plate. Both sides of the movable plate are slidably connected to a vertical rod. The two ends of the vertical rod are fixedly connected to the bottom plate and the horizontal plate respectively.
[0009] Preferably, the end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate, two feed pipes are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the moving plate, and a filter frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving plate.
[0010] Preferably, the movable plate is provided with a cooling mechanism, which includes a third motor. The output shaft of the third motor is fixedly connected to a second rotating rod. The second rotating rod is rotatably connected to three gear transmission shafts through bearings. Adjacent gears are meshed with each other. Both sides of the gears are meshed with gear rings. The outer walls of the gear rings are fixedly connected to fixed plates. The outer walls of the fixed plates are fixedly connected to the movable plate. The lower ends of the gear transmission shafts are fixedly connected to stirring rollers.
[0011] Preferably, the end of the third motor is fixedly connected to the movable plate.
[0012] The rapid cooling device proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: through the cooperation of the nozzle and the cooling mechanism, the output shaft of the third motor rotates, which drives the second rotating rod to rotate, so that the gears on both sides roll along the inner side of the gear ring, thereby driving the gear in the middle to rotate. The rotation of the gear drives the stirring roller to rotate, so that the cooling water can directly contact the polystyrene plastic particles. The polystyrene plastic particles can be cooled in a shorter time, thereby improving the working efficiency.
[0013] With the cooperation of the fan and the drying mechanism, the output shaft of the second motor rotates, which drives the first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the two worm gears to rotate. The rotation of the worm gears drives the worm wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod drives the moving plate to slide along the outer wall of the vertical rod, so that the polystyrene plastic particles can be dried quickly during the drying process, and the polystyrene plastic particles will not fall outside, making it easy for operators to collect them.

[0024] The drying mechanism 9 includes a second motor 901. A first rotating rod 902 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the second motor 901. Both ends of the first rotating rod 902 are rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 10 via bearings. The outer walls of the first rotating rod 902 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of two worm gears 903. Both worm gears 903 mesh with worm wheels 904. The upper ends of the drive shafts of the worm wheels 904 are rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 10 via bearings. The lower ends of the drive shafts of the worm wheels 904 are fixedly connected to threaded rods 905. Both ends of the threaded rods 905 are respectively connected to… The horizontal plate 10 and the base plate 1 are rotatably connected. The outer wall of the threaded rod 905 is threadedly connected to the moving plate 906. Both sides of the moving plate 906 are slidably connected to the vertical rod 907. The two ends of the vertical rod 907 are fixedly connected to the base plate 1 and the horizontal plate 10 respectively. The output shaft of the second motor 901 rotates, which drives the first rotating rod 902 to rotate, thereby driving the two worm gears 903 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gears 903 drives the worm wheel 904 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded rod 905 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 905 drives the moving plate 906 to slide along the outer wall of the vertical rod 907.
[0025] The movable plate 906 is equipped with a cooling mechanism 5, which includes a third motor 501. The output shaft of the third motor 501 is fixedly connected to a second rotating rod 502. The second rotating rod 502 is rotatably connected to the transmission shaft of three gears 503 through bearings. Adjacent gears 503 mesh with each other.

The outer wall of the fixed plate 505 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 906. The lower end of the transmission shaft of each gear 503 is fixedly connected to a stirring roller 506. The rotation of the output shaft of the third motor 501 drives the second rotating rod 502 to rotate, thereby causing the gears 503 on both sides to roll along the inner side of the gear ring 504, thereby driving the gear 503 in the middle to rotate. The rotation of the gear 503 drives the stirring roller 506 to rotate.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] When using rapid cooling equipment:
[0028] Cooling process:
[0029] The operator adds the polystyrene plastic granules that need to be cooled into the filter frame 3 through the feed pipes 11 on both sides. Then, the nozzle 12 is connected to the external pipe, and cooling water is sprayed out from the nozzle 12 by a water pump. Then, the power supply of the third motor 501 is turned on. The output shaft of the third motor 501 rotates, which drives the second rotating rod 502 to rotate. This causes the gears 503 on both sides to roll along the inner side of the gear ring 504, thereby driving the gear 503 in the middle to rotate. The rotation of the gear 503 drives the stirring roller 506 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring roller 506 can agitate the polystyrene plastic granules in the filter frame 3. At the same time, the cooling water sprayed from the nozzle 12 cools the polystyrene plastic granules. It takes a short time to cool the polystyrene plastic granules. The cooling water passes through the filter frame 3 and enters the box 4. When it is necessary to discharge, the valve on the drain pipe 2 is opened to allow the hot water to be discharged from the drain pipe 2.
[0030] Drying process:
[0031] Power is turned on to the second motor 901. The output shaft of the second motor 901 rotates forward, driving the first rotating rod 902 to rotate, which in turn drives the two worm gears 903 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gears 903 drives the worm wheel 904 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod 905 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 905 drives the moving plate 906 to slide upward along the outer wall of the vertical rod 907. The movement of the moving plate 906 drives the filter frame 3 to move. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the output shaft of the second motor 901, the filter frame 3 is driven to move back and forth. Then, the operator starts the first motor 7. The output shaft of the first motor 7 rotates, driving the fan 8 to rotate. The fan 8 dries the moisture on the polystyrene plastic granules. During the drying process, the filter frame can limit the polystyrene plastic particles to prevent them from falling outside, making it easier for operators to collect them. After the polystyrene plastic particles are dried, the power to the third motor 501 and the first motor 7 is turned off. Then, the operator places the collection box in front of the filter frame 3 and opens the sliding door 13 (when the sliding door 13 is closed, the screw can be turned clockwise to screw the end of the screw into the filter frame 3 to lock it; when the sliding door is open, the screw can be turned counterclockwise to screw the end of the screw out of the filter frame 3, so that the sliding door 13 can be separated from the filter frame 3). The operator then manually collects the polystyrene plastic particles.
