Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of extruder technology, in particular to an extruder broken strip alarm device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the extrusion production link of modified plastic processing, the plastic extruder produces the required plastic particles through some procedures such as pulling strips, removing water, and cutting particles. The plastic particles are continuously extruded through a die. The extrusion process is not always smooth. Factors such as substandard raw material quality, die wear due to long-term use, or improper extruder parameter configuration may cause the material strip to break during extrusion. Unexpected breakage of the material strip not only directly weakens the efficiency of the production line and the stability of the quality of the output products, but also may cause potential damage to the structure of the extruder itself, increasing maintenance costs.

[0003] The traditional coping strategy highly depends on the direct visual monitoring of the operator. The operator needs to pay attention to the state of the material strip in the extruder at all times. Once a breakage is found, the operator needs to intervene quickly and manually rejoin the broken part. Although this method is direct, it has a significant problem of human consumption. Moreover, the attention and reaction speed of humans are limited, and it is difficult to ensure that all unexpected situations can be responded to in a timely manner. Therefore, the broken material strip that is not handled in a timely manner often leads to unnecessary waste of materials and further drags down the overall production efficiency of the extruder, becoming a key factor restricting the improvement of production efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, a roller is rotatably arranged on the support arm, and the roller is used to support the material strip.

[0013] By adopting the technical scheme, the design of the roller rotatably arranged on the support arm reduces the frictional resistance between the material strip and the support arm, is beneficial to the stable conveying of the material strip, reduces the damage of the material strip caused by friction, and improves the production quality.

[0014] Optionally, a groove is arranged on the outer circumferential wall of the roller.

[0015] By adopting the technical scheme, the groove arranged on the outer circumferential wall of the roller further enhances the fixing effect of the roller on the material strip, prevents the material strip from slipping or deviating during conveying, and ensures the accuracy and stability of the position of the material strip.

[0024] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-4 The application is further described in detail.

[0025] The embodiment of the application discloses an extruder broken strip alarm device. Figure 1 The extruder broken strip alarm device comprises a frame 1, the frame 1 is arranged on a die of an extruder or installed on a cooling water tank of extrusion, in the embodiment of the application, the frame 1 is installed on the cooling water tank. The frame 1 is used as a basic support component of the whole device, is made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant material, so as to ensure the stability and durability of the device.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the frame 1 is hinged with a support arm 11 through a rotating shaft 12, and is used for supporting a material strip continuously extruded from the extruder. An elastic member 2 is arranged between the frame 1 and the support arm 11, the elastic member 2 comprises a torsional spring 21 sleeved on the rotating shaft 12, one end of the torsional spring 21 is connected with the support arm 11, and the other end of the torsional spring 21 is connected with the frame 1. The elastic force of the torsional spring 21 makes the support arm 11 tend to turn to the direction of the conductive bracket 3 when not subjected to external force, and keeps the contact state with the conductive bracket 3.

[0027] The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the supporting arm 11, and the supporting arm 11 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The other end of the supporting arm 11 is used to place the material strip. The frame 1 is made of insulating material, and the supporting arm 11, the rotating shaft 12 and the conductive bracket 3 are made of conductive material. When the supporting arm 11 abuts against the conductive bracket 3, the rotating shaft 12 is in conduction with the conductive bracket 3. When the supporting arm 11 is separated from the conductive bracket 3 and abuts against the frame 1, the rotating shaft 12 is disconnected from the conductive bracket 3.

[0028] The alarm 32 is connected to the conductive bracket 3 and the rotating shaft 12 through the wire 33, and is used to send an alarm signal when the electric connection between the rotating shaft 12 and the conductive bracket 3 is in conduction. The alarm 32 can be set to sound alarm, light alarm or sound-light alarm, etc. to meet the needs of different scenes.

[0029] In addition, in order to facilitate the support of the material strip and reduce friction, the supporting arm 11 is further rotatably provided with a roller 34. A groove 35 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the roller 34 to reduce the situation that the material strip is separated from the roller 34.

[0030] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the extruder is working normally, the material strip is continuously extruded from the extruder and supported on the roller 34. The gravity of the material strip will make the supporting arm 11 turn down and be supported on the frame 1. At this time, the electric connection between the supporting arm 11 and the conductive bracket 3 is disconnected, and the alarm 32 is turned off. Once the material strip is broken, the material strip will be separated from the roller 34, and the supporting arm 11 will turn up and abut against the conductive bracket 3 under the elastic force of the torsional spring 21 to form an electric connection, so as to trigger the alarm 32 to start and send an alarm signal.

[0031] The supporting arm 11 and the conductive bracket 3 form a group of trigger switches in this embodiment, and a plurality of groups of such trigger switches are arranged in parallel on the wire 33. Even if part of the material strip is broken, as long as one group of trigger switches is activated, the alarm 32 will start.

[0032] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
