Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extruder technology, specifically to a cooling structure for a straw extruder. Background Technology

[0002] A straw extruder is a type of plastic processing machinery specifically designed for producing plastic straws. The straw extruder heats plastic granules or other plastic materials to a molten state, then uses the rotation of a screw to extrude them through a die, and finally cools and solidifies them to form straws of a specific shape and size.

[0003] Existing straw extruders generally use water cooling to cool the straws. While water cooling can indeed cool the straws, in actual use, the temperature of the formed straws is too high, and water cooling alone may affect the cooling effect. Therefore, a cooling structure for straw extruders is proposed to improve the above-mentioned problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling structure for a straw extruder. After the straw has undergone a round of water cooling in the cooling box, the first rotating shaft is driven by an external motor. This causes the first rotating shaft to engage the drive gear and the first driven gear, which in turn engages the second driven gear, causing all three fan blades to rotate simultaneously and air-cool the straw. By combining water cooling and air cooling, a dual cooling effect is achieved. This solves the problem that existing straw extruders generally use water cooling to cool the straw. While water cooling can indeed cool the straw, in actual use, the temperature of the formed straw is too high, and relying solely on water cooling may affect the cooling effect.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a cooling structure for a straw extruder, comprising a working platform, an air-cooling component, a water-cooling component, an extrusion component, and a conveying component. The air-cooling component includes a support plate with a first circular groove and two second circular grooves. A first rotating shaft is fitted onto the first circular groove, and a drive gear is mounted on the first rotating shaft. A bearing is embedded in the second circular groove, and a second rotating shaft is fitted inside the bearing. A first driven gear is mounted on one of the second rotating shafts, and a second driven gear is mounted on the other second rotating shaft. The drive gear meshes with the first driven gear, and the first driven gear meshes with the second driven gear. Fan blades are mounted on the drive gear, the first driven gear, and the second driven gear. A first motor is connected to the end of the first rotating shaft away from the drive gear.

[0007] Furthermore, the water-cooling assembly includes a cooling box with a first through hole and a second through hole. A water pump is installed inside the cooling box, with an inlet pipe installed at the inlet end of the water pump and connected to the side wall of the cooling box. An outlet pipe is installed at the outlet end of the water pump and connected to the side wall of the cooling box.

[0008] Furthermore, the cooling box is mounted on the work platform, and the support plate is mounted on the cooling box.

[0009] Furthermore, the extrusion assembly includes a cylindrical tube and a cylindrical rod. A screw is installed at one end of the cylindrical rod, and the screw rotates with the inner cavity of the cylindrical tube. A feed hopper is installed on the cylindrical tube. An extrusion head is installed at the end of the cylindrical tube away from the cylindrical rod. The extrusion head is located in the cooling box through a first through hole. A second motor is connected to the other end of the cylindrical rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a support base, which is mounted on the work platform. There are three support bases, which are on the same horizontal plane. Two third circular grooves are opened on the support bases. The two ends of the transmission roller are respectively fitted into the two third circular grooves. A cylinder is connected to the central shaft of one of the transmission rollers, and a third motor is connected to the end of the cylinder away from the transmission roller.

[0011] Furthermore, an arc-shaped frame is installed on the work platform. There are two arc-shaped frames, which are on the same horizontal plane and cooperate with the round tube.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention incorporates a water-cooling component and an air-cooling component in the cooling structure of a straw extruder. After the straw undergoes a round of water cooling in the cooling box, an external motor drives the first rotating shaft to move, causing the first rotating shaft to engage the drive gear and the first driven gear. The first driven gear then engages the second driven gear, causing all three fan blades to rotate simultaneously, thus providing air cooling for the straw. This combination of water cooling and air cooling achieves a dual cooling effect, solving the problem that existing straw extruders generally use water cooling to cool the straw. While water cooling does indeed cool the straw, in actual use, the high temperature of the formed straw means that relying solely on water cooling may affect the cooling effect.

[0014] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
