Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic processing technology, specifically to a cleaning device for a pelletizer used in plastic processing. Background Technology
[0002] A plastic pelletizer is a type of pelletizer mainly used for processing waste plastic film, industrial packaging film, agricultural mulch film, greenhouse film, beer bags, tote bags, woven bags, agricultural convenience bags, basins, buckets, beverage bottles, furniture, daily necessities, etc. It is suitable for most common waste plastics and is the most widely used, most popular, and most widely accepted plastic recycling processing machinery in the waste plastic recycling industry.
[0003] When waste plastics are recycled, they need to be heated and extruded into strips, cooled in a water tank, and then fed into a plastic pelletizer for pelletizing. However, existing plastic pelletizers lack drying and cleaning equipment around the feed inlet, failing to remove water stains from the plastic strips. This results in water droplets and impurities adhering to the surface of the plastic strips entering the pelletizer, typically dripping around the feed inlet. This hinders the feeding of the plastic strips and thus impedes pelletizing, reducing the pelletizer's processing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device for a plastic pelletizer, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a cleaning device for a plastic pelletizer, comprising: a cleaning box; the cleaning box is fixedly installed at the feed inlet of the pelletizer, and an inlet and an outlet are respectively opened on both sides of the cleaning box, the outlet being connected to the feed inlet of the pelletizer; a filter screen is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box near the inlet, one end of the filter screen extends into the outlet, and a spray pipe is provided inside the cleaning box above the filter screen, the bottom end of the spray pipe being connected to multiple nozzles;
[0006] A lifting assembly is located at the top of the inner wall of the cleaning box. The lifting assembly is connected to the nozzle and is used to drive the nozzle to move up and down.
[0007] A ventilation assembly is disposed on one side of the cleaning box and is connected to the nozzle for ventilating the nozzle.
[0008] A drive assembly is disposed on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank. The drive assembly is connected to the top of the filter screen and is used to drive the movement of the filter screen.
[0009] An elastic component is disposed on the other side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank. The elastic component is connected to the bottom end of the filter screen and is used to drive the elastic movement of the filter screen.
[0010] The water outlet is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank and is used for draining water.
[0011] In one example, the lifting assembly includes two lifting rods hinged to the top of the nozzle, each of the two lifting rods having a first slider hinged to its top. The top of the inner wall of the cleaning box has a first groove for the first slider to slide in. A bidirectional lead screw threaded to the first slider is rotatably connected in the first groove. A drive motor fixed to the bidirectional lead screw is fixed on one side of the cleaning box.
[0012] In one example, the ventilation assembly includes a fan fixedly mounted on one side of the cleaning box, the fan being connected to a nozzle via a hose.
[0013] In one example, the drive assembly includes a rotating rod rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank, one end of which is fixed with a cam that abuts against the water filter screen, and the rotating rod is connected to a bidirectional lead screw via a linkage assembly.
[0014] In one example, the elastic component includes a connecting rod hinged to the bottom end of the filter screen, the bottom end of the connecting rod being hinged to a second slider, and the inner wall of the cleaning box having a second groove for the second slider to slide in, the second groove being fixedly connected to the second slider by a spring.
[0015] In one example, the linkage assembly includes a first pulley sleeved on the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw, and a second pulley sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod, wherein the first pulley is connected to the second pulley via a belt.
[0016] The cleaning device for a plastic pelletizer proposed in this utility model can bring the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This plastic pelletizer cleaning device first feeds plastic strips into the cleaning box through the inlet. The plastic strips fall onto a filter screen and slide down to the outlet, then into the pelletizer's feed inlet, completing the feeding process. As the plastic strips slide down the filter screen, the lifting assembly moves the spray pipe and nozzle up and down, adjusting the distance between the nozzle and the plastic strip. With the assistance of the ventilation assembly, air is supplied to the spray pipe and then blown onto the surface of the plastic strip through the nozzle. The drive assembly and elastic assembly work together to cause continuous vibration of the plastic strip, shaking off water stains and simultaneously turning the strip over, thus facilitating thorough drying and easier feeding, thereby improving the pelletizer's processing efficiency.

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model proposes a cleaning device for a plastic pelletizer, including: a cleaning box 1; the cleaning box 1 is fixedly installed at the feed inlet of the pelletizer, and an inlet 2 and an outlet 3 are respectively opened on both sides of the cleaning box 1. The outlet 3 is connected to the feed inlet of the pelletizer. A filter screen 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box 1 near the inlet 2. One end of the filter screen 4 extends into the outlet 3. A spray pipe 5 is provided inside the cleaning box 1 above the filter screen 4. The bottom end of the spray pipe 5 is connected to multiple nozzles 6.
[0029] The lifting assembly 7 is located at the top of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1. The lifting assembly 7 is connected to the nozzle 5 and is used to drive the nozzle 5 to move up and down.
[0030] Ventilation component 8 is located on one side of cleaning box 1. Ventilation component 8 is connected to nozzle 5 and is used to ventilate into nozzle 5.
[0031] The drive assembly 9 is located on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1. The drive assembly 9 is connected to the top of the filter screen 4 and is used to drive the movement of the filter screen 4.
[0032] The elastic component 10 is disposed on the other side of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1. The elastic component 10 is connected to the bottom end of the filter screen 4 and is used to drive the elastic movement of the filter screen 4.
[0033] The water outlet 11 is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 and is used for water discharge.
[0034] In this embodiment, the cleaning box 1 is first installed at the feed inlet of the pelletizer, connecting the outlet 3 to the feed inlet. Then, plastic strips are fed into the cleaning box 1 through the inlet 2. The plastic strips first fall onto the filter screen 4, which is tilted, allowing the plastic strips to slide down to the outlet 3 and then back into the pelletizer feed inlet, completing the feeding process. As the plastic strips slide down the filter screen 4, the lifting assembly 7 moves the spray pipe 5 and nozzle 6 up and down, adjusting the distance between the nozzle 6 and the plastic strip. With the assistance of the ventilation assembly 8, air is supplied to the spray pipe 5 and then blown onto the surface of the plastic strip through the nozzle 6. With the assistance of the drive assembly 9 and the elastic assembly 10, the plastic strips vibrate continuously, shaking off water stains and simultaneously turning them over, facilitating thorough drying and feeding. This improves the processing efficiency of the pelletizer.
[0035] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 7 includes two lifting rods 71 hinged to the top of the nozzle 5. The top of each of the two lifting rods 71 is hinged to a first slider 72. The top of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1 is provided with a first groove 73 for the first slider 72 to slide. A bidirectional lead screw 74 threadedly connected to the first slider 72 is rotatably connected in the first groove 73. A drive motor 75 fixed to the bidirectional lead screw 74 is fixed on one side of the cleaning box 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the plastic strip slides down the filter screen 4, the drive motor 75 drives the bidirectional lead screw 74 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 74 drives the two first sliders 72 to move in opposite directions. The two first sliders 72 drive the two lifting rods 71 to swing in opposite directions, thereby driving the nozzle 5 to move up and down. The nozzle 5 drives the nozzle 6 to move up and down, adjusting the distance between the nozzle 6 and the plastic strip, so as to facilitate air drying of the plastic strip through the nozzle 6.
[0037] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ventilation assembly 8 includes a fan 81 fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning box 1, and the fan 81 is connected to the spray pipe 5 through a hose 82.
[0038] In this embodiment, with the fan 81 working, ventilation is supplied to the nozzle 5 through the hose 82, and then blown out through the nozzle 6 to dry the plastic strip.
[0039] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the drive assembly 9 includes a rotating rod 91 rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the cleaning box 1. One end of the rotating rod 91 is fixed with a cam 92 that abuts against the filter screen 4. The rotating rod 91 is connected to the bidirectional lead screw 74 through the linkage assembly 12. The elastic assembly 10 includes a connecting rod 101 hinged to the bottom end of the filter screen 4. The bottom end of the connecting rod 101 is hinged with a second slider 102. The inner wall of the cleaning box 1 is provided with a second slide groove 103 for the second slider 102 to slide. The second slide groove 103 is fixedly connected to the second slider 102 through a spring 104. The linkage assembly 12 includes a first pulley 121 sleeved on the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 74. The outer wall of the rotating rod 91 is sleeved with a second pulley 122. The first pulley 121 is connected to the second pulley 122 through a belt 123.
[0040] In this embodiment, when the bidirectional lead screw 74 rotates, it drives the first pulley 121 to rotate. The first pulley 121 drives the second pulley 122 to rotate via the belt 123. The second pulley 122 drives the rotating rod 91 to rotate, which in turn drives the cam 92 to rotate. The rotation of the cam 92 drives the movement of the filter screen 4, which in turn drives the movement of the connecting rod 101. The connecting rod 101 drives the movement of the second slider 102, which in turn compresses the spring 104. Thus, with the reciprocating rotation of the cam 92 and the elastic cooperation of the spring 104, the filter screen 4 can be driven to vibrate continuously. During the vibration of the filter screen 4, water stains on the surface of the plastic strip are shaken off, and the plastic strip is also vibrated and turned over, which facilitates the rapid drying of the plastic strip and improves the drying efficiency of the plastic strip.
[0041] The working principle of a cleaning device for a plastic pelletizer is as follows: First, the cleaning box 1 is installed at the feed inlet of the pelletizer, connecting the outlet 3 to the feed inlet. Then, plastic strips are conveyed into the cleaning box 1 through the inlet 2. The plastic strips fall onto the filter screen 4. Under the movement of the drive motor 75, the bidirectional lead screw 74 rotates. The bidirectional lead screw 74 drives the two first sliders 72 to move in opposite directions. The two first sliders 72 drive the two lifting rods 71 to swing in opposite directions, thereby driving the spray pipe 5 to move up and down. The spray pipe 5 drives the nozzle 6 to move up and down, adjusting the distance between the nozzle 6 and the plastic strip. At the same time, under the operation of the fan 81, ventilation is supplied to the spray pipe 5 through the hose 82, and then blown out through the nozzle 6, thus blowing air onto the plastic strip for easy drying. When the lead screw 74 rotates, it drives the first pulley 121 to rotate. The first pulley 121 drives the second pulley 122 to rotate via the belt 123. The second pulley 122 drives the rotating rod 91 to rotate, which in turn drives the cam 92 to rotate. The rotation of the cam 92 drives the movement of the filter screen 4, which in turn drives the movement of the connecting rod 101. The connecting rod 101 drives the movement of the second slider 102, which in turn compresses the spring 104. Thus, with the reciprocating rotation of the cam 92 and the elastic cooperation of the spring 104, the filter screen 4 can be driven to vibrate continuously. During the vibration of the filter screen 4, water stains on the surface of the plastic strip are thrown off, and the plastic strip is vibrated and turned over, which facilitates the rapid drying of the plastic strip and the feeding of the plastic strip, thereby facilitating the processing of the pelletizer and improving the processing efficiency of the pelletizer.

Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments. In particular, the system embodiments are basically similar to the method embodiments, so the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the descriptions in the method embodiments.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
