Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to a PET film smoothing device, belonging to the field of PET film production technology. Background technology:

[0002] PET film is a comprehensive packaging film with good transparency, gloss, and airtightness. It also has excellent mechanical properties, high stiffness, dimensional stability, and good heat and cold resistance, as well as good chemical and oil resistance. During PET film production, dried raw materials are first fed into an extruder, where they are heated and melted. After passing through a pump, conveyor, and adapter, the material reaches the die head to form a sheet. The sheet is then stretched by a longitudinal stretching machine and then transversely stretched. Finally, it passes through a traction system to a winding system to form a film roll. Specialized equipment is then used to cut and process the rolled PET film.

[0003] During the production process, existing PET films often experience wrinkles and bends. If these wrinkles and bends are not removed before winding, they will not only affect subsequent production but also lead to defective products. To address these issues, the industry has developed corresponding solutions, such as the Chinese authorized utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN220219655U, entitled "A PET Film Smoothing Equipment." In this patent, the PET film body is pressed down from above by smoothing roller blocks, smoothing rollers, and pressure rollers, and the smoothing rollers smooth the PET film body to achieve the purpose of smoothing the PET film.

[0004] The above-mentioned patent has the following problems when used: Although the above-mentioned patent can achieve the smoothing of PET film, the existing extrusion smoothing is cold extrusion, which can only smooth some shallow creases.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 9 The illustrated PET film smoothing device includes a bottom support frame 1, a horizontal seat plate 2 on the bottom support frame 1, a portal frame 3 on the upper surface of the horizontal seat plate 2, a hot water tank 4 on the upper surface of the horizontal seat plate 2, the hot water tank 4 being located inside the portal frame 3, a lifting cylinder 5 on the top inner side of the portal frame 3, an intermediate transition plate 6 on the cylinder shaft of the lifting cylinder 5, multiple extrusion structures 7 on the intermediate transition plate 6, a winding structure 8 on the right outer side of the portal frame 3, multiple tensioning structures 9 on the left and right sides of the hot water tank 4, an inlet 301 and an outlet 302 on the left and right sides of the portal frame 3, a PET film 10 in the inlet 301, the PET film 10 passing through the portal frame 3 and connected to the winding structure 8.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to keep the temperature in the hot water tank 4 and the smoothing roller 701 consistent, the hot water tank 4 is further designed to be hollow inside. The hot water tank 4 is filled with hot water, and a water pump 401 is provided on the left outer side of the hot water tank 4. The hot water tank 4 is also provided with an inlet hole 402 and an outlet hole 403. The water pump 401 is provided with an inlet pipe 404 and a drain pipe 405. One end of the inlet pipe 404 is inserted into the inlet hole 402, and one end of the drain pipe 405 is connected to the extrusion structure 7.

[0028] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in order to achieve the effect of squeezing and smoothing, a squeezing structure 7 is further provided. The squeezing structure 7 includes a smoothing roller 701 with a cylindrical structure and a hollow interior. Side baffles 702 are respectively provided at both ends of the smoothing roller 701. An insertion hole 703 is provided on the side baffle 702, which extends from one side of the side baffle 702 to the other side. A bearing hole 704 is also provided on the side baffle 702. The bearing hole 704 is coaxial with the insertion hole 703. A bearing 705 is installed in the bearing hole 704. An insertion tube 11 is provided in the insertion hole 703. A leak-proof baffle 10 is provided on the inner side of the side baffle 702.

[0029] like Figure 7 As shown, the leak-proof baffle 10 is provided with a central through hole 1001, which extends from the left side to the right side of the leak-proof baffle 10. An inner sealing ring groove 1002 is provided in the central through hole 1001. A side sealing ring groove 1003 is also provided on the side of the leak-proof baffle 10. Sealing rings are respectively provided in the inner sealing ring groove 1002 and the side sealing ring groove 1003. The leak-proof baffle 10 is also provided with a plurality of fixing through holes 1004.

[0030] like Figure 8 As shown, the insertion tube 11 includes a hollow tube body 1101 with both ends open. The tube body 1101 is provided with a tube insertion hole 1102. A sealing plate 1103 is also provided on the side of the tube body 1101. An L-shaped bracket 1104 is also provided on the side of the sealing plate 1103. The L-shaped bracket 1104 is also fixed to the intermediate transition plate 6.

[0031] To achieve the purpose of winding, the winding structure 8 further includes a winding bracket 801 installed on the right outer side of the portal frame, a winding motor 802 is provided on the winding bracket 801, a winding drum 803 is provided on the motor shaft of the winding motor 802, and the PET film 10 is wound on the winding drum 803.

[0033] Before use, fix the leak-proof baffle 10 to the inside of the side baffle 702, place multiple sealing rings on the leak-proof baffle 10, and then fix the side baffle 702 to both sides of the smoothing roller 701. Then insert the insertion tube 11 into the insertion hole 703 and the middle through hole 1001. Since the insertion tube 11 is also equipped with an L-shaped bracket 1104, and the L-shaped bracket 1104 is fixed on the middle transition plate 6, the insertion tube 11 is fixed in place during actual use, while the smoothing roller 701 rotates through the bearing 705.

[0034] Add hot water to the hot water tank 4, insert one end of the inlet pipe 404 into the liquid inlet hole 402, connect the other end of the inlet pipe 404 to the water pump 401, connect one end of the drain pipe 405 to the water pump 401, connect the other end of the drain pipe 405 to one end of the smoothing roller 701 on the left, then connect multiple smoothing rollers 701 in series with each other using a connecting pipe, and then connect the connecting pipe to the liquid outlet hole 403. In this way, multiple smoothing rollers 701 are connected in series with each other.

[0035] In use, the PET film 12 to be smoothed is passed through the feed inlet 301, through multiple tension springs 902, and placed on the upper surface of the hot water tank 4. Finally, it passes through the discharge outlet 302 and is wound onto the take-up drum 803. At this time, the water pump 401 is activated, drawing hot water from the hot water tank 4 and delivering it through water pipes to each smoothing roller 701. This maintains a consistent temperature between the hot water in the hot water tank 4 and each smoothing roller 701. The lifting cylinder 5 is activated, causing the extrusion structure 7 to descend to a set position. At this point, the smoothing rollers 701 on the extrusion structure 7 press against the PET film 12. Then, the take-up motor 802 is activated, and the film is wound onto the take-up drum 803. Machine 802 drives the take-up drum 803 to rotate. At this time, the PET film 12 moves with the rotation of the take-up drum 803. During the movement of the PET film 12, the smoothing roller 701 also rolls. At this time, the lower surface of the PET film 12 is ironed by the hot water tank 4, and the upper surface of the PET film 12 is ironed by the smoothing roller 701. Thus, the upper and lower surfaces of the PET film 12 are ironed separately. At the same time, the smoothing roller 701 squeezes and smooths the PET film 12. In this way, the hot extrusion can squeeze and iron the deeper creases, thus solving the problem that the cold extrusion in the prior art can only smooth the shallow creases of the PET film, improving the efficiency and effect of smoothing.

[0036] It should be emphasized that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
