[0002] In industrial production, it is often necessary to process plastics into granules, which requires the use of plastic granulators. The emergence of plastic granulators has facilitated industrial production.

[0003] During the granulation process, the extruded plastic needs to be cut into granules by a cutting blade at the port of the device. In existing devices, the cutting blade continuously cuts, and because the plastic is newly formed and still has some stickiness in some areas, it is easy to adhere to the outside of the cutting blade, which will affect the plastic granulation effect. Over time, the machine needs to be stopped for cleaning, which affects the processing efficiency and the practical effect is not ideal. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses a linear cutting mechanism for a plastic granulator, aiming to solve the technical problem that when the cutting blade of the existing device is cutting continuously, the plastic is still sticky in some areas after it has just been formed, and it is easy to stick to the outside of the cutting blade, which will affect the plastic granulation effect and require the operator to stop the machine for cleaning after a long time.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A first slider is slidably connected inside the groove. The front end of the first slider is fixedly connected to a cutting blade. A moving mechanism is provided inside the first slider. Second sliders are slidably connected to both sides of the groove. A lead screw is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the second slider. The lower end of the lead screw passes through the lower second slider and is fixedly connected to a gear. Gear bars that mesh with the gear are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the support rod. A cleaning block is threaded onto the wall of the lead screw. A first spring is fixedly connected to one side of the second slider. Push blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the cutting blade. A rectangular opening is provided on the outer side of the support rod.

[0008] Preferably, the cutting blade is rectangular and the blades are located on both sides;

[0009] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the upper and lower second sliders, and the wall of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the inside of the cleaning block;

[0010] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a motor fixedly connected to the left side of the upper support rod, and a threaded rod fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, the wall of the threaded rod being threadedly connected to the inside of the first slider;

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 A linear cutting mechanism for a plastic granulator includes a feeding pipe 1, a feeding hopper 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding pipe 1, a feeding screw device 3 at the rear end of the feeding pipe 1, a plastic extrusion port 4 fixedly connected to the front end of the feeding pipe 1, a cutting blade 9 provided on the outside of the plastic extrusion port 4, and a cleaning component provided on the outside of the cutting blade 9.

[0024] The cleaning assembly includes support rods 5 fixedly connected to both sides of the plastic extrusion port 4. A groove 8 is fixedly provided at the front end of each support rod 5. A first slider 7 is slidably connected inside the groove 8, allowing it to move. The front end of the first slider 7 is fixedly connected to a cutting blade 9. When the first slider 7 moves, it drives the cutting blade 9 to move. A moving mechanism is provided inside the first slider 7, which drives it to move left and right. Second sliders 11 are slidably connected to both sides of the groove 8, allowing them to move. A lead screw 10 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of each second slider 11. When the second slider 11 moves, it drives the lead screw 10 to move. The lower end of the lead screw 10 passes through... The second slider 11 at the end is fixedly connected to a gear 6. The movement of the lead screw 10 drives the gear 6 to move. The lower end of the support rod 5 is fixedly connected to two sides of a toothed rod 13 that meshes with the gear 6. The movement of the gear 6 causes the lead screw 10 to rotate under the action of the toothed rod 13. The wall of the lead screw 10 is threadedly connected to a cleaning block 16. The rotation of the lead screw 10 causes the cleaning block 16 to move. A first spring 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the second slider 11. Push blocks 21 are fixedly connected to two sides of the lower end of the cutting blade 9. The push blocks 21 are used to push the second slider 11 to move. A rectangular opening 22 is provided on the outer side of the support rod 5 to allow the lead screw 10 to move. The cutting blade 9 is rectangular and the blade is located on both sides.

[0025] During operation, the molten plastic is pushed towards the plastic extrusion port 4 by the feeding screw device 3. At this time, the moving mechanism drives the cutting blade 9 to move left and right, thereby cutting the extruded plastic. When the cutting blade 9 moves, it drives the pushing block 21 to move. The pushing block 21 contacts the second slider 11, thereby causing the second slider 11 to move. It should be noted that when the pushing block 21 contacts the second slider 11, the cleaning block 16 is already in contact with the corresponding cutting blade 9. At this time, the cutting blade 9 continues to move with the pushing block 21, thereby causing the second slider 11 to move. At the same time, the first spring 15 is compressed. The movement of the second slider 11 drives the lead screw 10 to move, and the lead screw 10 drives the gear 6 to move. The gear 6, under the action of the rack 13, The rotation of gear 6 causes lead screw 10 to rotate, and the movement of lead screw 10 causes cleaning block 16 to move on the blade of cutting knife 9. When cutting knife 9 moves in the opposite direction, the second slider 11 is reset under the action of the first spring 15, and then lead screw 10 flips, and cleaning block 16 resets and moves on the blade of cutting knife 9. This left-right movement allows cleaning block 16 to move up and down on the blade of cutting knife 9. Thus, during operation, while cutting knife 9 moves left and right, the movement of second slider 11 causes gear 6 to drive lead screw 10 to rotate, allowing cleaning block 16 to continuously move up and down on the blade of cutting knife 9, thereby cleaning away the plastic adhering to cutting knife 9, ensuring the working effect of cutting knife 9, and thus ensuring the quality of granulation.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the upper and lower second sliders 11. The rod wall of the connecting rod 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the cleaning block 16. The connecting rod 14 enables the two second sliders 11 to move stably and synchronously, while also providing a limiting effect on the cleaning block 16 to ensure the stable movement of the cleaning block 16.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The moving mechanism includes a motor 12 fixedly connected to the left side of the upper support rod 5. A threaded rod 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12. The rod wall of the threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the inside of the first slider 7. The two sides of the rod wall of the threaded rod 17 are in contact with the inside of the second slider 11. A circular hole with a diameter larger than that of the threaded rod 17 is opened inside the second slider 11. The output end of the motor 12 drives the threaded rod 17 to rotate, causing the first slider 7 to move. The first slider 7 causes the cutting blade 9 to move.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3A first cleaning plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning block 16, and a second cleaning plate 18 is slidably connected inside the cleaning block 16. A second spring 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the second cleaning plate 18. One side of the first cleaning plate 20 and the second cleaning plate 18 are arc-shaped, and the arc shape has a certain guiding effect, so that the blade can better enter the interior of the first cleaning plate 20 and the second cleaning plate 18. Through the second spring 19, the effect is better when scraping plastic.

[0029] Working principle: During operation, the molten plastic is pushed towards the plastic extrusion port 4 by the feeding screw device 3. At this time, the moving mechanism drives the cutting blade 9 to move left and right, thereby cutting the extruded plastic. When the cutting blade 9 moves, it drives the pushing block 21 to move. The pushing block 21 contacts the second slider 11, thereby causing the second slider 11 to move. It should be noted that when the pushing block 21 contacts the second slider 11, the cleaning block 16 is already in contact with the corresponding cutting blade 9. At this time, the cutting blade 9 continues to move with the pushing block 21, thereby causing the second slider 11 to move. At the same time, the first spring 15 is compressed. The movement of the second slider 11 drives the lead screw 10 to move, and the lead screw 10 drives the gear 6 to move. The gear 6 is in the gear rack 13. Under the action of the gear 6, the gear 6 rotates, causing the lead screw 10 to rotate. The movement of the lead screw 10 causes the cleaning block 16 to move on the blade of the cutting knife 9. When the cutting knife 9 moves in the opposite direction, the second slider 11 is reset under the action of the first spring 15, and the lead screw 10 flips. The cleaning block 16 resets and moves on the blade of the cutting knife 9. This left-right movement allows the cleaning block 16 to move up and down on the blade of the cutting knife 9. Thus, during operation, while the cutting knife 9 moves left and right, the movement of the second slider 11 causes the gear 6 to drive the lead screw 10 to rotate, allowing the cleaning block 16 to continuously move up and down on the blade of the cutting knife 9, thereby cleaning off the plastic adhering to the cutting knife 9, ensuring the working effect of the cutting knife 9, and thus ensuring the quality of the granules.
