Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pelletizer technology, and specifically relates to a combined underwater pelletizer. Background Technology
[0002] The combined underwater pelletizer is an advanced plastic processing equipment, typically composed of several key components, including a material conveying system, an extrusion unit, a pelletizing system, and a separation and drying system. The material conveying system accurately delivers the plastic raw materials to the extrusion unit, which heats and plasticizes the raw materials and extrudes continuous plastic strips. The pelletizing system is located underwater; once the plastic strips enter the water, high-speed rotating cutters cut them into uniform pellets according to a set size. The advantages of underwater pelletizing are obvious: the cooling effect of the water allows the pellets to quickly solidify, preventing them from sticking together and ensuring their shape and quality. The separation and drying system separates the cut pellets from the water and dries them, ultimately yielding high-quality plastic pellets. These pellets are widely used in many industries, such as plastic product manufacturing, effectively improving the production efficiency and quality of plastic pellets.
[0003] Chinese patent CN218256094U discloses an underwater pelletizer, which includes a pelletizing box and an extrusion template installed on one side of the pelletizing box. Support rods are fixedly installed at the four corners inside the pelletizing box, and the extrusion template is slidably sleeved onto the support rods at the four corners. A screw is rotatably installed on the top of the inner wall of the pelletizing box, and the top of the extrusion template is threaded onto the screw. A motor is fixedly installed on the side of the pelletizing box away from the extrusion template, and a cutter shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. A blade is fixedly installed at the end of the cutter shaft near the extrusion template. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pelletizing box, and a collection box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge pipe. A filter screen is fixedly installed in the middle of the collection box. The support rods and screw facilitate the replacement of the extrusion template when different pellet sizes need to be produced, eliminating the need to replace the entire underwater pelletizer and reducing operating costs.
[0004] While the aforementioned combined underwater pelletizer achieves good pelletizing results in practical applications, it exhibits several significant shortcomings. After each processing cycle, the water must be drained and filtered before the pelletized material is removed. When processing resumes, water must be added again before production can resume. Clearly, repeating these steps prevents efficient, continuous, and uninterrupted production. This significantly impacts production efficiency, increases operational complexity and time costs. From a practical production perspective, the existing equipment does indeed have certain deficiencies and urgently needs improvement and optimization to meet the demands of modern industrial high-efficiency production.

The output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the end of a rotating shaft. A conveyor belt is drivenly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft. Filter screen frames are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer surface of the conveyor belt.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the guide assembly includes an installation cylinder, which is fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the pelletizing tank near the collection mechanism. A torsion spring is fixedly installed inside the installation cylinder, and a guide frame is fixedly installed inside the torsion spring. Support shafts are fixedly installed at both ends of the guide frame, and the outer ends of the support shafts are rotatably connected to the inside of the installation cylinder. The support shafts are located inside the torsion spring.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the collection mechanism includes a chute, which is opened at both ends of the mounting groove. A slide plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the chute, and a collection box is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide plate.

[0015] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0016] First, during production and processing, this equipment uses the connecting flange mounting holes and bolts to connect the feeding pipe and the extrusion device.

During molding, the extrusion device feeds the material into the feeding pipe, which is then assisted in molding by the molding disc and enters the water tank. The first motor is started to drive the synchronous wheel to rotate, and the synchronous belt causes the pelletizing blade to rotate at high speed to accurately pelletize the shaped material. The bolt connection method enables quick assembly and installation, which is convenient for inspection and maintenance and improves production efficiency and equipment reliability.
[0017] Secondly, by cooperating with the filter assembly and the guide assembly, the second motor is started to drive the rotating shaft and the conveyor belt to rotate. After the pelletized material falls into the water tank, it floats and is driven by the conveyor belt. The filter screen frame is repeatedly raised and flipped to the top of the collection mechanism, realizing non-stop filtration, saving time, improving production efficiency, reducing equipment wear and tear, and providing a guarantee for continuous production.
[0018] Third, a guiding component and a collection mechanism are set up. When the filter screen frame flips, the material automatically falls into the guide frame and enters the collection box through the inclined guide. When the filter screen frame touches the guide frame, it can be squeezed to rotate so that it can pass over. Afterwards, the torsion spring resets and drives the guide frame to reset, which improves the collection accuracy. After collection, the slide plate and collection box can be pulled out for quick disassembly and assembly, which is convenient for equipment use and brings convenience to production operation.

[0029] refer to Figures 2-4The filter assembly 63 includes two rotating shafts 631 and a second motor 632.

The collection mechanism 5 includes a chute 51, which is formed at both ends of the mounting groove 4. A sliding plate 52 is slidably connected to the inner side of the chute 51. The bottom of the sliding plate 52 is fixed... A collection box 53 is fixedly installed below the guide frame 663. In the filter assembly 63, two rotating shafts 631 are rotatably connected inside the pelletizing water tank 61.

The filter frames 634 fixed at equal intervals on the conveyor belt 633 can achieve automated filtration during equipment operation without stopping the machine, saving time and improving production efficiency. The mounting cylinder 661 of the guide assembly 66 is equipped with a torsion spring 662 and a guide... When the filter screen frame 634 flips and touches the guide frame 663, the guide frame 663 can be squeezed and rotated to facilitate the filter screen frame 634 passing over. Afterwards, the torsion spring 662 resets and drives the guide frame 663 to reset, which improves the guiding effect and ensures that the material enters the collection box 53 stably. The slide groove 51 of the collection mechanism 5 cooperates with the slide plate 52 to make the collection box 53 easy to disassemble and assemble. The collection box 53 is located directly below the guide frame 663 and can accurately collect materials.

[0030] Operating principle and advantages: During the production and processing of this equipment, the mounting holes 65 on the connecting flange 64 can be fully utilized, and the feeding pipe 621 of this equipment can be connected to the external extrusion device with bolts. At the same time, the collecting mechanism 5 is installed inside the slide 51 of the mounting groove 4, which can realize the rapid assembly and installation of this equipment. When the molding process is carried out, the extrusion device is started and the material enters the feeding pipe 621 under the action of conveying pressure. The feeding pipe 621 guides the material, and then the molding hole 624 on the molding disc 623 assists in molding, so that the material can smoothly enter the water tank. At this time, the first motor 627 is started and runs. The first motor 627 can drive the synchronous pulley 628 to rotate. The synchronous pulley 628 drives the pelletizing blade 626 located at the bottom to rotate rapidly through the synchronous belt 629. The high-speed rotation of the pelletizing blade 626 can accurately pelletize the material formed at the molding hole 624. It can be seen that this equipment adopts the bolt connection method to realize rapid assembly and installation, which not only facilitates maintenance work, but also realizes rapid and automated pelletizing, greatly improving production efficiency and equipment reliability.
[0031] By carefully designing the filter assembly 63 in conjunction with the guide assembly 66, this equipment offers significant advantages during use. The second motor 632 can be started, driving the rotating shaft 631 to rotate. The rotating shaft 631, in turn, drives the conveyor belt 633 on its outer surface to rotate. During this process, the granulated material falls into the water inside the tank and floats to the surface. As the conveyor belt 633 moves, the filter screen 634 moves forward along the conveyor belt's direction, repeatedly rising from the water and flipping to the top of the collection mechanism 5. This design allows the equipment to filter without stopping production, achieving automated filtration throughout the entire production process. This effectively saves production time and significantly improves the overall production efficiency of the equipment. Simultaneously, it reduces equipment wear and time wastage caused by frequent filtration shutdowns, providing strong support for continuous production.
[0032] By incorporating the guiding component 66 and the collecting mechanism 5, this device performs excellently during use. As the filter frame 634 rotates along the conveyor belt 633, when the filter frame 634 flips to face down, the material automatically falls into the guide frame 663. The inclined guiding action of the guide frame 663 causes the material to automatically fall into the collecting box 53. As the filter frame 634 rotates further, when it contacts the guide frame 663, the filter frame 634 can squeeze the guide frame 663. After being squeezed, the guide frame 663 can adaptively rotate, facilitating the rotation of the filter frame 634. 4. The guide frame 663 greatly improves the guiding effect, ensuring that the material can stably enter the collection box 53. When the filter screen frame 634 passes the guide frame 663, the torsion spring 662 in the mounting cylinder 661 resets and automatically drives the guide frame 663 to reset. It can be seen that this equipment can achieve automated and efficient processing, improve the accuracy of material collection, and after the material collection is completed, the slide plate 52 and collection box 53 inside the slide groove 51 can be pulled out to assist in the quick disassembly and assembly of the collection box 53, which facilitates the use of this equipment and brings great convenience to production operations.
