Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of color masterbatch processing technology, specifically to a continuous cooling water tank for color stripes. Background Technology

[0002] Color masterbatch is a pre-dispersion composed of high-concentration pigments, carrier resins, and necessary additives. Its purpose is to facilitate the addition of color during the production of plastic products and ensure color consistency and stability. In the process of color masterbatch processing, the raw materials are melted in proportion and then extruded through the die of an extruder to form color strips.

[0003] After color strips are extruded through the die of an extruder to form color strips, they need to be cooled before being cut into color masterbatches. Currently, air cooling or liquid cooling is commonly used to cool the color strips. Liquid cooling requires a cooling water tank. In this process, coolant is placed in the tank, and the color strips extruded through the die pass through the coolant, allowing them to be cooled. Existing cooling water tanks often have limiting rollers with multiple grooves evenly spaced on their outer walls. During cooling, the color strips are wound around the bottom of the limiting rollers, with multiple strips positioned within the grooves. The limiting rollers restrict the strips, ensuring cooling and preventing adhesion between adjacent strips. However, existing cooling water tanks have the following drawbacks in practical use:

[0004] During the process of the color strip passing through the cooling water tank and being cooled by the cooling water tank, coolant will adhere to the surface of the color strip. When the color strip moves to the outside of the cooling water tank, the coolant adhering to the surface of the color strip may drip onto the outside of the cooling water tank, thus wasting coolant.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a color-bar continuous cooling water tank. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a color-bar continuous cooling water tank, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A color-striped continuous cooling water tank includes a cooling water tank body. Two sets of guide components are installed inside the cooling water tank body. The two sets of guide components are arranged along the length direction of the cooling water tank body. Each guide component includes vertical plates that are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the cooling water tank body. A guide shaft is rotatably installed between the opposite sides of the two vertical plates. The outer side wall of the guide shaft is provided with grooves arranged in an equidistant array along its axial direction.

[0009] A vertical mounting plate is fixedly installed on the cooling water tank body and on one side of the two sets of guide components. The top of the mounting plate extends above the cooling water tank body. Two mounting shafts are rotatably mounted on the mounting plate and above the cooling water tank body. The two mounting shafts are located on the same vertical plane. Sponge absorbent rollers are detachably mounted on both mounting shafts. A motor for driving the mounting shafts to rotate is fixedly installed on the mounting plate. The output shafts of the two motors rotate in opposite directions. The two sponge absorbent rollers are in contact with each other on their closest sides. A dehydration mechanism is installed on the cooling water tank body to dehydrate the two sponge absorbent rollers.

[0010] Furthermore: the dehydration mechanism includes two sets of dehydration components, each mounted on a mounting plate. The two sets of dehydration components are used to dehydrate the two sponge absorbent rollers. Each dehydration component includes a mounting frame fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. Guide members are mounted on both mounting frames. Supports are mounted on the other end of the two sets of guide members. Squeeze rollers are rotatably mounted on the supports. A driving member acting on the support is mounted on the mounting frame, which is used to move the support away from the mounting frame along the two sets of guide members, so that the squeeze rollers come into contact with the sponge absorbent rollers.

[0011] Furthermore: the guide component includes a guide shell fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, and a guide rod that is fixedly connected to the bracket is movably passed through the guide shell along the direction of the sponge absorbent roller.

[0012] Furthermore: the driving component includes a housing fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, a connecting rod that is movably passed through the housing and fixedly connected to the bracket along the direction of the sponge absorbent roller, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the housing, with the two ends of the spring connected to the mounting frame and the bracket respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, both mounting brackets are installed on the side of the mounting plate closest to the upright plate.

[0014] Furthermore: the sponge absorbent roller is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft. The mounting shaft has symmetrical slots on the side away from the mounting plate. The inner sidewall of the sponge absorbent roller has symmetrically inserted plates that can be inserted into the two slots respectively. When the two plates are inserted into the two slots respectively, the sponge absorbent roller is engaged with the mounting shaft. The mounting shaft is equipped with a limiting component that acts on the sponge absorbent roller, which is used to limit the sponge absorbent roller.

[0015] Furthermore: the limiting member includes a limiting pin that is horizontal and threaded through the end of the mounting shaft away from the mounting plate, and the limiting pin can abut against the two clamping plates.

[0016] Furthermore: a guide mechanism is installed inside the cooling water tank body and on the side of the mounting plate away from the vertical plate, which is used to guide the cooled color strips. The guide mechanism includes:

[0017] There are two fixing plates, both of which are vertical and symmetrically fixed in the cooling water tank body along the length direction of the cooling water tank body. The top of both fixing plates extends to the top of the cooling water tank body. Two guide rollers are rotatably installed between the opposite sides of the two fixing plates. The two guide rollers are located on the same vertical plane and there is a gap between the two guide rollers. The top of the lower guide roller is located above the cooling water tank body.

[0018] This invention provides a continuous cooling water tank with color stripes. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. As the color strip passes through the cooling water tank body, when the cooled color strip moves between the two sponge water-absorbing rollers, the two sponge water-absorbing rollers can dry and absorb the coolant adhering to the surface of the color strip, thereby effectively preventing the coolant adhering to the surface of the color strip from dripping onto the outside of the cooling water tank body, and effectively preventing the waste of coolant.

[0020] 2. By setting up a dehydration mechanism, the two sponge absorbent rollers are dehydrated, which helps to dry and absorb the coolant adhering to the surface of the color strip, thus improving the drying and absorption effect of the coolant adhering to the surface of the color strip.

[0021] 3. By setting two mounting brackets, both installed on the side of the mounting plate closest to the upright plate, the coolant on the upper sponge absorbent roller is effectively prevented from falling down and adhering to the color strip after dehydration when the sponge absorbent roller is squeezed and dehydrated by the two squeeze rollers, thus improving practicality.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] To address the technical problems in the background section, a continuous cooling water tank with color bars is provided as follows:

[0031] Combination Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a color strip continuous cooling water tank, including a cooling water tank body 1. Two sets of guide components 2 are installed inside the cooling water tank body 1. The two sets of guide components 2 are arranged along the length direction of the cooling water tank body 1. The guide component 2 includes a vertical plate 21 symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the cooling water tank body 1. A guide shaft 22 is rotatably installed between the opposite sides of the two vertical plates 21. The outer side wall of the guide shaft 22 is provided with grooves 221 equidistantly arranged along its axial direction.

[0032] A vertical mounting plate 3 is fixedly installed on the cooling water tank body 1 and on one side of the two sets of guide components 2. The top of the mounting plate 3 extends above the cooling water tank body 1. Two mounting shafts 31 are rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 3 and above the cooling water tank body 1. The two mounting shafts 31 are located on the same vertical plane. Sponge absorbent rollers 32 are detachably mounted on both mounting shafts 31. A motor 33 for driving the mounting shafts 31 to rotate is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 3. The motor 33 is powered by an external power source. The output shafts of the two motors 33 rotate in opposite directions. The two sponge absorbent rollers 32 are in contact with each other on their closest sides. A dehydration mechanism 4 is installed on the cooling water tank body 1 to dehydrate the two sponge absorbent rollers 32. When cooling the color strips extruded through the die of the extruder, coolant is added to the cooling water tank body 1 so that the coolant level is above the vertical plate 21, so that the color strips are wrapped around the bottom of the guide shaft 22 and then pass through... The strips pass between two sponge absorbent rollers 32. During this process, multiple color strips are located in multiple grooves 221. Two guide shafts 22 limit the color strips, ensuring cooling and preventing adhesion between adjacent strips. Two motors 33 are activated, driving two mounting shafts 31 to rotate, which in turn rotates the two sponge absorbent rollers 32. As the color strips pass through the cooling water tank body 1 and move with it, the cooled strips move between the two sponge absorbent rollers 32. The two sponge absorbent rollers 32 then dry and absorb the coolant adhering to the surface of the color strips, effectively preventing coolant dripping onto the outside of the cooling water tank body 1 and avoiding coolant waste. A descaling mechanism 4 is provided to descal the two sponge absorbent rollers 32, which facilitates the drying and absorption of coolant adhering to the surface of the color strips, improving the drying and absorption effect.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:

[0035] In this embodiment, the desiccation mechanism 4 includes two sets of desiccation components, each mounted on the mounting plate 3. The two sets of desiccation components are used to desiccate the two sponge absorbent rollers 32. Each desiccation component includes a mounting frame 41 fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 3. Guide members 42 are mounted on both mounting frames 41. A bracket 43 is mounted on the other end of the two sets of guide members 42. A squeezing roller 44 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 43. A driving member 45 is mounted on the mounting frame 41 and acts on the bracket 43. The driving member 45 is used to move the bracket 43 away from the mounting frame 41 along the two sets of guide members 42, so that the squeezing roller 44 comes into contact with the sponge absorbent roller 32. In use, the two motors 33 work to drive the two mounting shafts 31 to rotate, so that the two sponge absorbent rollers 32 rotate. Under the action of the driving member 45, the squeezing roller 44 comes into contact with the sponge absorbent roller 32, so that the squeezing roller 44 rotates on the bracket 43. Thus, the squeezing roller 44 can achieve the squeezing and desiccation effect on the sponge absorbent roller 32.

[0036] In this embodiment, the guide member 42 includes a guide shell 421 fixedly installed on the mounting frame 41. A guide rod 422, which is fixedly connected to the bracket 43, is movably passed through the guide shell 421 along the direction of the sponge absorbent roller 32. The bracket 43 is displaced away from the mounting frame 41 along the two sets of guide members 42 by the driving member 45, so that when the squeezing roller 44 abuts against the sponge absorbent roller 32, the guide rod 422 slides outward from the guide shell 421, thereby achieving the guiding effect on the bracket 43.

[0037] In this embodiment, the driving member 45 includes a housing 451 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 41. A connecting rod 452, which is fixedly connected to the bracket 43, is movably passed through the housing 451 along the direction of the sponge absorbent roller 32. A spring 453 is sleeved on the outside of the housing 451. The two ends of the spring 453 are respectively connected to the mounting frame 41 and the bracket 43. In use, when the sponge absorbent roller 32 needs to be replaced, a force is applied to the bracket 43 to make it move closer to the mounting frame 41, which can cause the squeezing roller 44 to move away from the sponge absorbent roller 32. At this time, the connecting rod 452 slides into the housing 451, and the spring 453 deforms under force. After the sponge absorbent roller 32 is replaced, the force on the bracket 43 is released, and the spring 453 returns to its natural state, which can cause the bracket 43 to move away from the mounting frame 41 along the two sets of guide members 42, so that the squeezing roller 44 abuts against the sponge absorbent roller 32.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:

[0040] In this embodiment, both mounting brackets 41 are installed on the side of the mounting plate 3 near the upright plate 21. By installing both mounting brackets 41 on the side of the mounting plate 3 near the upright plate 21, the situation where the coolant on the upper sponge absorbent roller 32 falls down and adheres to the color strip after dehydration is effectively avoided when the sponge absorbent roller 32 is squeezed and dehydrated by the two squeezing rollers 44, thus improving practicality.

[0041] In this embodiment, the sponge absorbent roller 32 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 31. The mounting shaft 31 has symmetrically arranged slots 311 on the side away from the mounting plate 3. The inner wall of the sponge absorbent roller 32 has symmetrically arranged locking plates 321 that can be inserted into the two slots 311 respectively. When the two locking plates 321 are inserted into the two slots 311 respectively, the sponge absorbent roller 32 is engaged with the mounting shaft 31. A limiting member 5 is installed on the mounting shaft 31, which limits the movement of the sponge absorbent roller 32. By setting the sponge absorbent roller 32 to be sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 31, the limiting member can be removed when the sponge absorbent roller 32 needs to be replaced. The five limiting members 5 allow the sponge absorbent roller 32 to be pulled out from the outside of the mounting shaft 31 for easy disassembly and replacement. When installing the sponge absorbent roller 32, it is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 31, with the two clamping plates 321 inserted into the two slots 311 respectively. The limiting members 5 limit the sponge absorbent roller 32, thus completing the installation. When the two clamping plates 321 are inserted into the two slots 311 respectively, the sponge absorbent roller 32 is engaged with the mounting shaft 31, thereby achieving the positioning effect between the sponge absorbent roller 32 and the mounting shaft 31.

[0042] In this embodiment, the limiting member 5 includes a limiting pin 51 that is horizontal and threaded through the end of the mounting shaft 31 away from the mounting plate 3. The limiting pin 51 can abut against the two clamping plates 321. In use, when installing the sponge absorbent roller 32, the sponge absorbent roller 32 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 31, and the two clamping plates 321 are respectively inserted into the two clamping slots 311. Then, the limiting pin 51 is rotated to make it threadedly connected to the mounting shaft 31, so that the limiting pin 51 abuts against the two clamping plates 321. The sponge absorbent roller 32 can be limited by the limiting pin 51. Conversely, when disassembling the sponge absorbent roller 32, the limiting pin 51 is rotated in the opposite direction to disassemble it, and the limitation on the sponge absorbent roller 32 can be canceled. The operation is simple.

[0043] In this embodiment, a guide mechanism 6 is installed inside the cooling water tank body 1 on the side of the mounting plate 3 away from the vertical plate 21. This guide mechanism guides the cooled color strips. The guide mechanism 6 includes:

[0044] Two fixing plates 61 are provided, both vertical and symmetrically fixed within the cooling water tank body 1 along its length. The tops of both fixing plates 61 extend above the cooling water tank body 1. Two guide rollers 62 are rotatably mounted between the opposite sides of the two fixing plates 61. The two guide rollers 62 are located on the same vertical plane with a gap between them. The top of the lower guide roller 62 is located above the cooling water tank body 1. Through the design of the guide mechanism 6, during the cooling of the color strip, the color strip passes through the opposite sides of the two sponge absorbent rollers 32. After the two sponge absorbent rollers 32 remove the coolant adhering to the surface of the color strip, the color strip passes between the opposite sides of the two guide rollers 62. This achieves the cooling effect of the color strip through the two guide rollers 62, effectively preventing friction between the color strip and the cooling water tank body 1, which could lead to wear on the surface of the color strip.

[0045] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
