Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straw production technology, specifically a water tank for cooling straws after extrusion. Background Technology

[0002] After being extruded by the extruder, the straw is in a softened state at high temperature and requires effective cooling in a cooling water tank. Generally, the cooling water tank is equipped with pressure rollers to prevent the straw from floating in the tank. However, most pressure rollers have a fixed structure and cannot be adjusted in height to accommodate straws of different diameters and wall thicknesses. Furthermore, the straw is easily displaced or twisted by the impact of the water flow during cooling. If the position of the pressure roller cannot be adjusted, it is difficult to ensure the correct contact point with the straw, leading to bending and deformation of the straw.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the fixed pressure roller structure inside the straw cooling water tank cannot adapt to straws of different diameters and wall thicknesses, it is necessary to propose a straw cooling water tank after extrusion. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cooling water tank after the straw is extruded. The internal pressure roller can be adjusted in position by sliding left and right on the slide rail to ensure that the contact point between the pressure roller and the straw is correct and to prevent the straw from shifting or twisting. The height of the pressure roller can also be adjusted vertically by the screw, and the distance between the two rollers can be adjusted left and right by the bidirectional screw to adapt to the production needs of straws of different specifications.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A cooling water tank for straw extrusion includes a tank body and a guide assembly. The tank body is supported by support legs. The guide assembly includes a sliding bracket and a pressure roller. The sliding bracket slides left and right on the upper end of the tank body via a slide rail. The pressure roller is vertically raised and lowered at the lower end of the sliding bracket via a one-way screw. The pressure roller is composed of two symmetrical wheels, and the distance between the two wheels can be adjusted according to the diameter of the straw.

[0007] Preferably, the trough has inlet ports for inlet and outlet suction tubes at both ends, and an overflow trough is installed at the lower end of the inlet port.

[0008] Preferably, the slide rail is divided into four sections by partitions, and each section of the slide rail is provided with a first slide groove and a second slide groove.

[0009] Preferably, the sliding bracket and the sliding groove form a sliding connection.

[0010] Preferably, a sliding rod is installed on the side end of the sliding bracket, and the sliding rod and the second sliding groove form a sliding connection.

[0011] Preferably, the slide rod has threads on its surface, and one end of it extends outside the slide groove. The end of the slide rod outside the slide groove is threaded with a locking nut.

[0012] Preferably, the screw is threadedly connected to the sliding bracket, and a handwheel is fixedly installed on its top.

[0013] Preferably, the pressure roller includes a mounting frame and a bidirectional screw, with the bottom of the unidirectional screw being movably connected to the mounting frame.

[0014] Preferably, the bidirectional screw is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket, and its shaft is threaded with wheels on the left and right sides. One end of the bidirectional screw passes through the mounting bracket and is fixedly connected to a torque.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. After the straw is extruded, it is cooled by the water tank. The position of the sliding bracket and the pressure roller is adjusted by pulling the slide rail left and right, and the sliding bracket is fixed in the required position with the lock nut to ensure that the straw remains stable during the cooling process and avoids displacement or twisting.

[0017] 2. The straw is cooled by a water tank after extrusion. The pressure roller is raised and lowered vertically by the rotation of the unidirectional screw, so that the height of the pressure roller can be flexibly adjusted according to the diameter and wall thickness of the straw. The distance between the two rollers can be adjusted by the rotation of the bidirectional screw to meet the production needs of straws of different specifications. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 A cooling water tank for straw extrusion includes a tank body 1 and a guide assembly 2. The tank body 1 is supported by a support leg 11. The guide assembly 2 includes a sliding bracket 21 and a pressure roller 24. The sliding bracket 21 slides left and right on the upper end of the tank body 1 via a slide rail 13. The pressure roller 24 is vertically raised and lowered at the lower end of the sliding bracket 21 via a one-way screw 22. The pressure roller 24 is composed of two symmetrical wheels 243 on the left and right sides. The distance between the two wheels 243 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the straw.

[0026] Among them, there are two slide rails 13, which are symmetrically arranged about the front and back of the groove 1. The two slide rails 13 are respectively connected to the two ends of the sliding bracket 21 to ensure the stability of the sliding bracket 21 when it slides left and right on the slide rails 13, and to avoid shaking or displacement when adjusting the position.

[0027] The surface of screw 22 is electroplated, covering a layer of metal, which can effectively prevent the surface of screw 22 from rusting, and has good durability and corrosion resistance to adapt to the humid environment in the sink.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-2 The tank body 1 has inlet and outlet pipettes 14 at both ends, and an overflow trough 12 is installed at the lower end of the inlet 14.

[0029] The upper end of the inlet 14 is open and extends to the top of the tank 1. This design provides a wider channel for the straw to enter and exit, allowing the straw to be smoothly introduced and exported, reducing the possibility of the straw bending, twisting or getting blocked when entering or leaving the tank. In addition, different specifications of straws have different diameters, so this design can better accommodate straws of various diameters.

[0030] However, it should be noted that the water in the tank 1 will overflow from the inlet 14. An overflow tank 12 is designed to collect the cooling water overflowing from the inlet 14, which helps to maintain the stability of the water level in the tank, prevent water from overflowing onto external equipment, keep the production environment clean, and also allows the cooling water to be recycled or centrally treated, which meets the requirements of environmental protection and resource conservation.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 The slide rail 13 is divided into four sections by the partition 131, and each section of the slide rail 13 is provided with a first slide groove 132 and a second slide groove 133.

[0032] Among them, the first groove 132 is formed on the surface of the slide rail 13, and the second groove 133 is formed on the side end of the slide rail 13.

[0033] The segmented design of the slide rail 13 can better utilize the internal space of the tank 1, making the structure of the entire cooling tank more compact. It also increases the number of guide components 2, which facilitates the guidance of the suction pipe at different positions, improves the stability of the suction pipe in the water tank, and makes it easier for operators to quickly move the sliding bracket 21 to the required position, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0034] Please see Figure 4 The sliding bracket 21 and the first sliding groove 132 form a sliding connection. A sliding rod 25 is installed on the side end of the sliding bracket 21, and the sliding rod 25 and the second sliding groove 133 form a sliding connection.

[0035] The double sliding connection design between the sliding bracket 21 and the first sliding groove 132, and the sliding rod 25 and the second sliding groove 133, increases the stability of the sliding bracket 21 during the sliding process, preventing it from shaking or shifting when adjusting its position, thereby ensuring that the pressure roller 24 applies uniform and stable pressure to the suction tube.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 The slide rod 25 has threads on its surface, and one end of it extends outside the slide groove 133. The end of the slide rod 25 located outside the slide groove 133 is threaded with a locking nut 26.

[0037] Among them, the locking nut 26 can be used in conjunction with a washer to prevent loosening due to vibration during use;

[0038] The position of the sliding bracket 21 can be firmly fixed by the locking nut 26, ensuring that the sliding bracket 21 will not shift during the cooling process. The locking nut 26 is also designed to be convenient, allowing operators to quickly adjust the position of the sliding bracket 21.

[0039] Please see Figure 4 The screw 22 is threadedly connected to the sliding bracket 21, and a handwheel 23 is fixedly installed on the top.

[0040] The screw 22 adopts a thread form with self-locking function, such as a triangular thread or a trapezoidal thread. These threads increase the angle between the thread helix angle and the friction angle, so that the screw 22 can remain stationary by relying on friction when it stops rotating, preventing it from loosening on its own due to external force or vibration. Furthermore, the surface of the thread is treated, such as increasing the roughness or using a material with a high coefficient of friction, to increase the friction between the threads, thereby improving the self-locking performance of the screw 22.

[0041] Please see Figure 5 The pressure roller 24 includes a mounting frame 241 and a bidirectional screw 242. The bottom of the unidirectional screw 22 is movably connected to the mounting frame 241. The bidirectional screw 242 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 241, and wheel bodies 243 are threaded to the left and right sides of its rod. One end of the bidirectional screw 242 passes through the mounting frame 241 and is fixedly connected to a knob.

[0042] The purpose of the one-way screw 22 being movably connected to the mounting bracket 241 is that when the one-way screw 22 rotates, the mounting bracket 241 can remain stationary, thereby driving the two wheels 243 to remain stationary, thus realizing the adjustment of the height of the pressure wheel 24;

[0043] The wheel body 243 is symmetrically arranged about the center of the bidirectional screw 242, and the contact surface between the wheel body 243 and the straw remains smooth.

[0044] Working principle: The straw is cooled by a water tank after extrusion. When the pressure roller 24 needs adjustment:

[0045] According to the degree of bending and offset of the straw in the groove, the operator can slide the sliding bracket 21 left and right on the slide rail 13 to adjust the position of the pressure roller 24 in the groove 1 so that it is aligned with the part of the straw that is bent and offset. Then tighten the locking nut 26 on the slide rod 25 to fix the sliding bracket 21 in the required position, thereby ensuring that the contact point between the pressure roller 24 and the straw is correct, so that the straw remains stable during the cooling process and prevents deformation and bending.

[0046] When the height of the pressure roller 24 needs to be adjusted:

[0047] Rotating the handwheel 23 drives the one-way screw 22 to rotate. Since the one-way screw 22 is threadedly connected to the sliding bracket 21 and its bottom is movably connected to the mounting bracket 241 through a bearing, the rotation of the one-way screw 22 will cause the pressure roller 24 to move in the vertical direction, thereby achieving height adjustment. Rotating the handwheel 23 clockwise will lower the pressure roller 24; rotating the handwheel 23 counterclockwise will raise the pressure roller 24. In this way, the height of the pressure roller 24 can be precisely adjusted to accommodate straws of different diameters and wall thicknesses, meeting the production needs of straws of different specifications.

[0048] When the distance between wheel bodies 243 needs to be adjusted:

[0049] Rotating the knob drives the bidirectional screw 242 to rotate. Since the two wheels 243 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 242, the rotation of the bidirectional screw 242 will cause the wheels 243 to move in opposite directions or towards each other along the direction of the bidirectional screw 242, thereby achieving the adjustment of the spacing to meet the production needs of straws of different widths (diameters).
