Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulator technology, specifically to a temperature-controlled water tank for a granulator. Background Technology

[0002] Color masterbatch is a new type of special colorant for polymer materials, also called color seed. It is a novel type of colorant for polymer materials with good dispersibility and chemical stability, and it keeps the environment clean during use, so it is widely used in the plastics industry. Currently, the color masterbatch processing process requires mixing resin, raw material color powder, dispersant, functional additives, etc., and then heating, mixing, and extruding through granulation extrusion equipment to finally produce spherical or cylindrical granules.

[0003] In the granulation process of color masterbatch, water tanks are usually used to cool, shape, cut, and package the particles. However, existing cooling water tanks have shortcomings: First, the ambient temperature (winter, summer, morning, and evening changes) affects the water temperature in the tank, causing large fluctuations within the same production cycle; second, monitoring the water temperature in the tank mainly relies on experience and touch, which has a standard deviation and low accuracy; third, directly injecting cold water for cooling makes it difficult to control the amount injected. All of these factors have a direct impact on the appearance, size, shape, and moisture content of the product particles. Unstable particle size and shape will lead to reduced production efficiency in subsequent molding and fluctuations in product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a temperature-controlled water tank for a granulator, which automatically monitors the water temperature and uses continuous water replacement for cooling, keeping the water temperature in the tank within a set range and preventing the particles from having inconsistent quality due to water temperature fluctuations.

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

[0006] A temperature-controlled water tank for a granulator includes a tank body, on which a temperature sensor and a controller are installed and connected. An mounting plate is laid on one side of the tank body, on which a heat exchanger and a water pump are installed. The heat exchanger, water pump, and tank body are interconnected by pipes. The water pump provides power to draw hot water from the tank body into the heat exchanger for cooling, and then discharges the cooled water from the heat exchanger back into the tank body, thus maintaining the water temperature in the tank body within a set temperature range. The controller is electrically connected to the water pump and is used to control the operation of the water pump.

[0007] Preferably, the water tank body includes a support and a water tank, with the water tank mounted on the support.

[0008] Preferably, the temperature sensor and controller are located on the side of the water tank, with the sensing end of the temperature sensor extending into the water tank.

[0009] Preferably, the controller is equipped with a display screen for showing the temperature.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effect of this utility model is that it automatically monitors the water temperature and uses continuous water replacement and cooling to keep the water temperature in the tank within the set temperature range, thus avoiding the uneven quality of particles caused by water temperature fluctuations.

[0016] Please see Figure 1As shown, a temperature-controlled water tank for a granulator includes a tank body 1, a temperature sensor 2 and a controller 3 mounted on the tank body 1, and the temperature sensor 2 and controller 3 are connected. The tank body 1 includes a support 11 and a water tank 12, with the water tank mounted on the support.

[0017] A mounting plate 4 is laid on one side of the water tank body 1. A heat exchanger 5 and a water pump 6 are installed on the mounting plate 4. The heat exchanger 5, water pump 6, and water tank body 1 are interconnected by pipes. The water pump 6 provides power to draw hot water from the water tank body 1 into the heat exchanger 5 for cooling, and then discharges the cooled water from the heat exchanger 5 back into the water tank body 1, maintaining the water temperature in the water tank body 1 within a set temperature range. The heat exchanger 5 is a plate heat exchanger, which is an existing technology product, and its pipe connections can be made according to the connection method of the actual plate heat exchanger.

[0018] The controller 3 is electrically connected to the water pump 6 and is used to control the operation of the water pump 6. In practice, the controller 3 can set a temperature value. When the temperature sensor 2 senses that the water temperature in the water tank 12 is lower or higher than the set temperature value, the controller 3 controls the water pump 6 to run or stop, thereby controlling the water temperature in the water tank 12 to be constant.

[0019] Temperature sensor 2 and controller 3 are mounted on the side of water tank 12, with the sensing end of temperature sensor 2 extending into the interior of water tank 12. Controller 3 is equipped with a display screen 31 for displaying the temperature.
