Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe processing, specifically a pretreatment device for raw materials in the production of PTFE pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known as Teflon, is a high molecular weight polymer polymerized from tetrafluoroethylene monomers. Its chemical formula is (C2F4)n. It exhibits excellent heat and cold resistance and can be used continuously at temperatures ranging from -180 to 260ºC. PTFE pipes are manufactured using PTFE as a raw material. Some PTFE pipes require coloring during manufacturing. Dry or liquid pigments can be mixed with the PTFE polymer and lubricant. Liquid pigments are pre-mixed dry color powders and lubricants. Liquid pigments offer good dispersibility during mixing, but not all applications require them. Dry pigments typically have a large surface area and are prone to moisture absorption. If necessary, they should be dried first, sieved before use, and then mixed with dry PTFE polymer powder, followed by the addition of lubricant.

[0003] Existing technologies typically use drying ovens to dry pigments. However, during use, the pigments are heated unevenly inside and out, resulting in poor overall drying and hindering rapid drying of raw materials, thus leading to low drying efficiency. Therefore, a pretreatment device for raw materials used in the production of PTFE pipes is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the problems of inconvenience in drying raw materials located below, difficulty in fully drying raw materials, and poor comprehensiveness of drying, this utility model proposes a pretreatment device for raw materials in the production of PTFE pipes.

[0019] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. This utility model introduces hot air into the cylinder through the air inlet pipe and support pipe to heat and dry the pigment inside the cylinder, so that the moisture in the pigment evaporates and is discharged from the exhaust pipe.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a pretreatment device for raw materials in the production of PTFE pipes includes:

[0032] Base plate 1;

[0033] Housing 2, which is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1;

[0034] Cylinder 7, which is installed inside shell 2, and through which pipe materials are loaded, and cylinder 7 is made of a breathable membrane;

[0035] The drying assembly includes a support tube 12, which is rotatably installed in the middle of the housing 2. The cylinder 7 is sleeved on the support tube 12. One end of the support tube 12 extends to the outside of the housing 2 and is provided with an air inlet pipe 15 at the end. The air inlet pipe 15 is connected to an external heat source, which can be composed of an electric heater and a blower.

[0036] Flip cover 4, which is hinged to the end of housing 2;

[0037] Exhaust pipe 5, which is fixedly installed in the middle of the flip cover 4;

[0038] During operation, the cylinder 7 is supported by the base plate 1 and the shell 2. The shell 2 and the flip cover 4 work together to prevent heat loss during the drying process. Before drying, the dry pigment used to color the PTFE pipe is placed inside the cylinder 7. Hot air is introduced into the cylinder 7 through the support pipe 12 via the air inlet pipe 15 to heat and dry the pigment inside the cylinder 7, so that the moisture in the pigment evaporates and is discharged from the exhaust pipe 5. The drying process can remove excess moisture and ensure that the pigment mixes better with other raw materials.

[0039] A heating tube 22 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the cylinder 7. Multiple air holes 21 are provided on the side wall of the heating tube 22. A connecting block 8 is fixed to the outer end of the cylinder 7. The connecting block 8 is slidably sleeved on the support tube 12. A slot 9 is provided in the middle of the side wall of the connecting block 8. A fixing block 10 is fixed to the inner wall of the shell 2. The fixing block 10 and the slot 9 are interlocked. During operation, by extending the path of the hot air through the heating tube 22, the hot air enters the heating tube 22 from the support tube 12 and is discharged to different positions in the cylinder 7 through the multiple air holes 21, allowing the hot air to quickly cover the inside of the cylinder 7, thereby increasing the drying rate. Furthermore, both the fixing block 10 and the slot 9 are square. The fixing block 10 is inserted into the slot 9 of the connecting block 8 to install the cylinder 7 inside the shell 2, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the cylinder 7, and thus facilitating the filling and emptying of the dried pigment.

[0040] A fixing frame 6 is fixed to the outer wall of the end of the shell 2. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on the outside of the fixing frame 6. A drive rod 13 is fixed to the output end of the motor 3. The drive rod 13 is fixedly installed inside the support tube 12. The end of the drive rod 13 is inserted into the middle square hole at the end of the heating tube 22. The drive rod 13 is adapted to the square hole. Connecting tubes 16 are symmetrically fixed on the side wall of the heating tube 22. Horizontal tubes 17 are fixed to the ends of the connecting tubes 16 on both sides. The heating tube 22, connecting tubes 16, and horizontal tubes 17 are internally connected. During operation, the motor 3 is started, which drives the drive rod 13 to rotate. The drive rod 13 drives the heating tube 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting tubes 16 and horizontal tubes 17 to rotate. The connecting tubes 16 and horizontal tubes 17 agitate the pigment inside the cylinder 7, so that the hot air can fully contact the pigment and improve the drying effect. Furthermore, the hot air can enter between the connecting tubes 16 and horizontal tubes 17, and while agitating the pigment, it also dries the pigment simultaneously.

[0041] A connecting sleeve 14 is fixed inside the fixing frame 6. The connecting sleeve 14 is rotatably connected to the support tube 12 in a sealed manner. The air inlet pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 14. During operation, the end of the support tube 12 is sealed by the connecting sleeve 14 to prevent hot air leakage, and the air inlet pipe 15 can be rotatably connected to the support tube 12 to prevent the air inlet pipe 15 from getting tangled.

[0042] A filter cartridge 11 is fixed inside the cylinder 7 and is located outside the horizontal tube 17. During operation, dry pigment is added inside the filter cartridge 11. When the connecting tube 16 and the horizontal tube 17 agitate the dry pigment, the pigment is simultaneously sieved. This removes unqualified particles from the pigment, ensuring that the pigment has a consistent fineness and preventing large particles or impurities in the pigment powder from affecting the color uniformity and appearance of the pipe.

[0043] A cover plate 18 is installed at the end of the filter cartridge 11. The cover plate 18 is slidably sleeved on the heating tube 22. A magnetic block 23 is fixed on the inner wall of the end of the filter cartridge 11. The magnetic block 23 and the cover plate 18 attract each other. During operation, the cover plate 18 is attracted to the magnetic block 23, and the end of the filter cartridge 11 is sealed by the cover plate 18, which confines the pigment inside the filter cartridge 11, making it convenient to dry the pigment inside the filter cartridge 11. In addition, the cover plate 18 can be removed directly, so that the dried pigment can be poured out of the filter cartridge 11.

[0044] A cover plate 19 is installed between the ends of the cylinder 7 and the filter cartridge 11. The cover plate 19 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the filter cartridge 11. A magnetic block 24 is fixed between the ends of the cylinder 7 and the filter cartridge 11. The magnetic block 24 and the cover plate 19 attract each other. During operation, the cover plate 19 seals the gap between the cylinder 7 and the filter cartridge 11 to prevent pigment leakage. In addition, the cover plate 19 can be removed directly to facilitate the pouring of pigment from the filter cartridge 11.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Please see Figure 5 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of this utility model, protrusions 20 are fixed on the outer walls of both the first cover plate 18 and the second cover plate 19. During operation, by setting the protrusions 20, the force application points of the first cover plate 18 and the second cover plate 19 are increased, making it easier to remove the first cover plate 18 and the second cover plate 19.

[0047] The working principle is as follows: First, the pigment is loaded into the filter cartridge 11. Then, the cylinder 7 and the filter cartridge 11 are installed together inside the housing 2. Hot air is introduced into the cylinder 7 through the support pipe 12 via the air inlet pipe 15 to heat and dry the pigment inside the cylinder 7, causing the moisture in the pigment to evaporate and be discharged from the exhaust pipe 5. In addition, the motor 3 is started, which drives the drive rod 13 to rotate. The drive rod 13 drives the heating tube 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting pipe 16 and the horizontal pipe 17 to rotate. The connecting pipe 16 and the horizontal pipe 17 agitate the pigment inside the cylinder 7, so that the hot air can fully contact the pigment and improve the drying effect. The hot air can also enter between the connecting pipe 16 and the horizontal pipe 17, simultaneously drying the pigment while agitating it, further improving the drying effect. When the connecting pipe 16 and the horizontal pipe 17 agitate the pigment, the pigment is simultaneously sieved, which can remove unqualified particles in the pigment, ensure the uniformity of the pigment fineness, and prevent large particles or impurities in the pigment powder from affecting the color uniformity and appearance of the pipe.
