Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of granulators, and more particularly to a granulator suitable for continuous photopolymerization apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] Photopolymerization is a modern technology for preparing polymer materials. It is a process in which liquid monomers and / or oligomers cross-link and polymerize to form solid products under the irradiation of light (visible light or ultraviolet light) or high-energy rays. It has the advantages of high production efficiency, low energy consumption, solvent-free, environmentally friendly, controllable time and space, and room temperature operation, and is widely used in various industrial fields.
[0003] In existing technologies, photopolymerization systems are often used in oilfield production to treat post-hydrolyzed polymers for use in oilfield production. This treatment solidifies the polymers, facilitating their subsequent granulation. The photopolymerization system primarily consists of a polymerization chamber and a polymerization bed. The polymerization chamber is fixedly mounted above the polymerization bed's frame, and the polymerization irradiation mechanism within the chamber is positioned above the bed. A conveyor belt is installed on the polymerization bed. In actual production, operators place raw material bags into a basin-type trough and fill the bags with raw materials using a filling mechanism. The trough is then transported to the photopolymerization chamber via the conveyor belt for photopolymerization. After polymerization, the operator starts the conveyor belt to remove the material from the polymerization chamber. The polymerized material is then manually unloaded from the basin-type trough and transferred to a cutting mechanism for cutting the highly elastic colloidal polymer into blocks. Finally, the blocks are manually transferred to a granulator for granulation.
[0004] However, manually transferring the rubber blocks to the granulator requires a lot of manpower and time and is inefficient, so there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to achieve the technical effect of automatically conveying block polymers and improve the efficiency of granulation production, this application provides a granulator suitable for continuous photopolymerization equipment.
[0006] The granulator for continuous photopolymerization equipment provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A granulator suitable for a continuous photopolymerization device includes a conveying mechanism, a feeding mechanism, and a granulator. The inlet end of the conveying mechanism is located below the cutting mechanism, the outlet end of the conveying mechanism is connected to the inlet end of the feeding mechanism, and the outlet end of the feeding mechanism is connected to the inlet end of the granulator.
[0008] A fall prevention mechanism is provided below the cutting mechanism, and the fall prevention mechanism is mounted above the conveying mechanism.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during the actual production process, the conveying mechanism transports the block polymer falling from the cutting mechanism to the feeding mechanism, which then transports the block polymer to the granulator. This automatic conveying and transfer of the block polymer eliminates the need for manual handling, saving manpower and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the anti-drop mechanism prevents the block polymer from falling out of the conveying mechanism during its journey.
[0010] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a conveying screw, the conveying screw includes a conveying chamber, the top of the conveying chamber has a first hatch located directly below the discharge end of the cutting mechanism, and the bottom of the conveying chamber has a second hatch for feeding out block polymer.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the block polymer can be conveyed to the feeding mechanism via the conveying screw.
[0012] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a bucket screw feeder, which includes a hopper and a feeding screw. The opening of the hopper is located directly below the second hatch. The feed end of the feeding screw is connected to the hopper, and the discharge end of the feeding screw is connected to the granulator.

[0015] Preferably, the anti-fall mechanism includes a frame, on which two blocking members are slidably mounted, and a channel for the block polymer to pass through is formed between the two blocking members; and:
[0016] The control panel is fixedly mounted on the rack.
[0017] Two telescopic cylinders are fixedly installed on the frame. The drive end is connected to the two blocking components respectively and is connected to the signal output end of the control panel. They are used to drive the two blocking components to slide in a direction that moves closer to or further away from each other.
[0018] A contact pressure detection module is installed between the two blocking members. Its signal input terminal is connected to the signal output terminal of the control panel, and its signal output terminal is connected to the signal output terminals of the two telescopic cylinders. It is used to control the two telescopic cylinders to stop driving when the contact pressure between the two blocking members reaches a set value.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, before using the granulator, the operator first inputs a start signal through the control panel. After receiving the start signal, the two telescopic cylinders drive the two blocking parts to approach each other and press against each other. The contact pressure detection module can control the two telescopic cylinders to stop extending the cylinder shaft when the contact pressure between the two blocking parts reaches the set value, thus achieving the technical effect of automatic control of the drive distance.
[0020] Preferably, the contact pressure detection module includes:
[0021] A thin-film pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the side wall of any of the blocking members near the other blocking member. Its signal input terminal is connected to the signal output terminal of the control panel. It is used to detect the contact pressure between the two blocking members and output a contact pressure signal.
[0022] The comparator chip is connected to the signal output terminal of the thin-film pressure sensor to receive the contact pressure signal and output a stop control signal when the contact pressure reaches a set value.
[0023] The signal input terminals of the two telescopic cylinders are connected to the signal output terminal of the comparator chip, and the two telescopic cylinders receive the stop control signal and stop driving.

[0025] Two parallel sliding rods are fixedly installed on the frame, and four connecting arms are respectively provided with sliding holes that are adapted to the sliding rods. The four connecting arms are slidably installed on the two sliding rods.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding connection between the two blocking components and the frame can be achieved through the setting of connecting arms on both sides of the blocking component and the sliding connection between the two slide rods.

An anti-falling mechanism 2 is provided below the cutting mechanism and is mounted above the conveying mechanism.
[0037] During actual production and processing, the conveying mechanism transports the lumpy polymer falling from the cutting mechanism to the feeding mechanism, which then transports the lumpy polymer to the granulator 1. This automatic conveying and transfer of the lumpy polymer eliminates the need for manual handling, saving manpower and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the anti-drop mechanism 2 prevents the lumpy polymer from falling out of the conveying mechanism during its journey.

After receiving the start signal, the two telescopic cylinders 23 drive the two blocking parts 21 to approach each other and press against each other. The contact pressure detection module can control the two telescopic cylinders 23 to stop extending the cylinder shaft when the contact pressure between the two blocking parts 21 reaches the set value, which can achieve the technical effect of automatic control of the drive distance.
