Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of water-cooling equipment, and more specifically it relates to a thermoplastic elastomer water-cooling device. Background Technology
[0002] Thermoplastic elastomers, also known as synthetic rubber or artificial rubber, possess the high elasticity, aging resistance, and oil resistance of traditional cross-linked vulcanized rubber, while also offering the advantages of easy plastic processing and a wide range of processing methods. They can be produced using injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and other methods. Sprue scraps can be directly reused after being crushed, simplifying the processing and reducing costs. Therefore, thermoplastic elastomers have become the latest material to replace traditional rubber. They are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, comfortable to the touch, and aesthetically pleasing, allowing for more creative products. They are a new type of human-centered, high-quality synthetic material and a globally standardized environmentally friendly material.
[0003] Thermoplastic elastomers are processed by extrusion. The surface temperature of the extruded elastomer is high, so it needs to be cooled and shaped. Because the temperature of the freshly processed elastomer is high, the product needs to be cooled. The conventional cooling method on the market is to use cooling water.
[0004] Currently, Chinese patent CN207696870U discloses a water-cooling device for TPE production equipment, including a water tank. A heat dissipation plate is installed on the outer wall of the water tank, and a cooling water tank and a water pump are arranged inside the water tank. The water pump is located on one side of the cooling water tank. A spray pipe is fixed at the top of the cooling water tank, and six spray heads are installed at the bottom of the spray pipe. One end of the water pump is connected to an inlet pipe, and the other end of the water pump is connected to an outlet pipe. The end of the inlet pipe away from the water pump is connected to the cooling water tank, and the end of the outlet pipe away from the water pump is connected to a water-cooling pipeline, which is located above the water tank.
[0005] The above-mentioned utility model has multiple heat dissipation sleeves installed on the water cooling pipeline. During the cooling water circulation process, the heat absorbed by the cooling water through the heat conduction sleeves on the heat dissipation sleeves is directly transferred to the radiator, and then the heat is dissipated into the air through the heat dissipation fins on the radiator, which is conducive to the rapid dissipation of the heat acquired by the cooling water in a short period of time.
[0006] In existing water-cooling equipment similar to the one described above, impurities in the water may adhere to the inner wall of the pipes under high temperature, forming hard scale, which can cause pipe blockage and increase equipment operating costs. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a thermoplastic elastomer water cooling device, which has the advantages of effectively avoiding blockage and reducing the cost of use.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a thermoplastic elastomer water cooling device, including a water circulation mechanism, wherein a filter mechanism is provided at the end of the water inlet of the water circulation mechanism, and a filter element is provided inside the filter mechanism to filter the incoming water;
[0009] The water circulation mechanism includes multiple parallel circulation pipes, with the inlet and outlet of all circulation pipes symmetrically distributed on the left and right. A connecting plate is provided at the inlet and outlet of each circulation pipe, and a through hole is provided on the connecting plate that matches the position of the inlet and outlet of all circulation pipes.
[0010] The filtration mechanism includes a sealing cover, which is connected to a connecting plate and covers all through holes. The sealing cover is provided with two external pipes for water inlet and outlet, respectively, and the filter element is disposed inside the sealing cover.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooling water for cooling thermoplastic elastomer materials is drawn from the cooling water pool by the pump body and transported to the inside of the sealed cover through one of the external pipes. After being filtered by the filter element, the cooling water is circulated and dissipated through the circulation pipe before returning to the cooling water pool through the other external pipe. This reduces the amount of impurities in the water adhering to the inside of the circulation pipe and causing blockage, thus achieving the effect of saving maintenance costs.
[0012] Meanwhile, multiple parallel circulation pipes are installed, each connected to the interior of the sealing cover. During use, if any circulation pipe becomes blocked, it will not significantly affect the water circulation in the remaining circulation pipes. Compared to traditional coils, where blockage can cause overall blockage, this design improves heat dissipation performance.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment: a detachable fastening sealing ring is provided at the connection between the connecting plate and the sealing cover, the fastening sealing ring tightly connecting the connecting plate and the sealing cover together.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing cover can be easily removed from the connecting plate for cleaning and replacement of the filter element. Furthermore, during use, tightening the sealing ring effectively increases the sealing performance at the connection between the connecting plate and the sealing cover.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment: the interior of the sealing cover is further provided with a partition plate, which is located between the two outer pipes to divide the interior of the sealing cover into two chambers, and the end of the partition plate abuts against the connecting plate to separate the through holes on both sides;
[0016] The filter element is located in one of the chambers of the sealed cover.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, cooling water enters the chamber equipped with a filter element through the external pipe, where the filter element filters impurities from the cooling water. The filtered cooling water then enters the interior of the circulation pipe through the through-holes for heat dissipation. After heat dissipation, the cooling water exits through another chamber to prevent the filtered and unfiltered cooling water from mixing. Furthermore, because the filter element only covers the inlet of the circulation pipe, the cooling water is not obstructed during discharge. Therefore, this method achieves better circulation efficiency compared to covering all through-holes.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment: heat dissipation fins are provided between all the circulation pipes to connect the circulation pipes;
[0019] The number of heat dissipation fins is several, and the several heat dissipation fins are distributed in parallel and at equal intervals.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, all circulation pipes are connected through heat dissipation fins, making them a unified whole and increasing the stability between them. Furthermore, the addition of multiple heat dissipation fins increases the heat dissipation area. After heat is absorbed through the circulation pipes, it is conducted to the heat dissipation fins, and then rapidly transferred to the air, thus improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment: an auxiliary heat dissipation device mounting slot is provided in the middle of a plurality of heat dissipation fins, and an auxiliary heat dissipation mechanism is provided inside the auxiliary heat dissipation device mounting slot.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, an auxiliary heat dissipation mechanism is set up to increase airflow and allow air to circulate through the gaps between the heat dissipation fins. The rapidly flowing air can accelerate the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation fins.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment: the auxiliary heat dissipation mechanism includes a fan blade support cylinder, a drive shaft is provided at the axis of the fan blade support cylinder, and a heat dissipation fan blade is provided at the end of the drive shaft. The drive shaft can rotate under the drive of power.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drive shaft is driven to rotate, the rotating drive shaft will drive the cooling fan blades to rotate at high speed, thereby driving airflow like an electric fan. The airflow increases the heat dissipation effect of the device.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment: a hydraulic drive chamber is provided inside the fan blade support cylinder, one end of the drive shaft extends into the interior of the hydraulic drive chamber, and a plurality of resistance blades are equidistantly arranged on the outer surface of the drive shaft located in the interior area of the hydraulic drive chamber.
[0026] The outer surface of the fan blade support cylinder is provided with two water pipes. One end of the two water pipes is connected to the interior of the hydraulic drive chamber, and the other end of the two water pipes is connected to the interior of the same circulation pipe.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, a portion of the cooling water circulating in the circulation pipe enters the interior of the fan blade support cylinder through one of the water pipes, and then returns to the circulation pipe through the other water pipe for further circulation. At this time, the power of the cooling water flow in the hydraulic drive chamber drives the drive shaft to rotate by pushing the resistance blades, thereby driving the cooling fan blades to rotate to increase airflow, achieving the effect of driving the cooling fan blades to rotate without additional power.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] By installing a filter element in the sealed cover, the cooling water for cooling thermoplastic elastomer materials is drawn from the cooling water pool by the pump body and delivered to the inside of the sealed cover through one of the external pipes. After being filtered by the filter element, the cooling water is circulated through the circulation pipe to dissipate heat and then returned to the cooling water pool through the other external pipe. This reduces the amount of impurities in the water that adhere to the inside of the circulation pipe and cause blockage, thus achieving the effect of saving maintenance costs.
[0030] By setting a partition plate inside the sealing cover, the interior of the sealing cover is divided into two chambers. Cooling water enters the chamber with a filter element through the external pipe. The filter element filters the impurities in the cooling water. The filtered cooling water enters the interior of the circulation pipe through the through hole for heat dissipation. The cooled water is discharged through the other chamber to avoid the filtration of the cooled water and the unfiltered cooling water from mixing.
[0031] 3. By setting two water pipes on the outer surface of the fan blade support cylinder and connecting them to the circulation pipe, and setting resistance blades on the outer surface of the drive shaft, part of the cooling water circulating in the circulation pipe enters the interior of the fan blade support cylinder through one of the water pipes, and then returns to the circulation pipe through the other water pipe for circulation. At this time, the power of the cooling water flow in the hydraulic drive chamber will drive the drive shaft to rotate by pushing the resistance blades, thereby driving the cooling fan blades to rotate to increase air flow, achieving the effect of driving the cooling fan blades to rotate without additional power.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the disclosed product is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. They are used only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.
[0046] A thermoplastic elastomer water-cooling device, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the system includes a water circulation mechanism 1, in which liquid circulates, enhancing heat dissipation. A filter mechanism 2 is installed at the end of the water inlet of the water circulation mechanism 1, and a filter element 3 is installed inside the filter mechanism 2 to filter the incoming water. This prevents impurities in the cooling water used to cool the thermoplastic elastomer from adhering to the inner wall of the water circulation mechanism 1 pipe, thus avoiding a reduction in the flow cross-section or blockage.
[0047] Based on the above embodiments, the water circulation mechanism 1 includes multiple parallel circulation pipes 11, with the inlet and outlet ports of all circulation pipes 11 symmetrically distributed left and right. During use, if any circulation pipe 11 becomes blocked, it will not significantly affect the water circulation of the remaining circulation pipes 11. Compared to traditional coils where blockage causes overall blockage, this improves heat dissipation performance. A connecting plate 12 is provided at the inlet and outlet ports of the circulation pipes 11, allowing all circulation pipes 11 to be connected as a whole. The connecting plate 12 has through holes 13 that match the positions of the inlet and outlet ports of all circulation pipes 11, allowing the circulating liquid to flow smoothly inside the circulation pipes 11 through the through holes 13.
[0048] The filtration mechanism 2 includes a sealing cover 21, which is connected to the connecting plate 12 and covers all the through holes 13. Two external connecting pipes 22 are provided on the sealing cover 21 for water inlet and outlet, respectively. The circulating liquid enters the interior of the sealing cover 21 through one of the external connecting pipes 22 and then enters the circulation pipe 11. The liquid then exits the device through the other external connecting pipe 22. A filter element 3 is disposed inside the sealing cover 21. After the liquid enters the sealing cover 21, the filter element 3 filters the liquid to reduce impurities entering the circulation pipe 11.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, heat dissipation fins 14 are provided between all circulation pipes 11 to connect them. After all circulation pipes 11 are connected by heat dissipation fins 14, they become a whole, increasing the stability between circulation pipes 11.
[0050] The number of heat dissipation fins 14 is several, and the heat dissipation fins 14 are distributed in parallel and at equal intervals. The number of heat dissipation fins 14 increases the heat dissipation area. After heat is absorbed by the circulation pipe 11, the heat can be conducted to the heat dissipation fins 14, and then the heat can be quickly conducted to the air through the heat dissipation fins 14, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0051] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an auxiliary heat dissipation device mounting slot 15 is provided in the middle of several heat dissipation fins 14, and an auxiliary heat dissipation mechanism 5 is provided inside the auxiliary heat dissipation device mounting slot 15. The auxiliary heat dissipation mechanism 5 is provided to increase airflow and allow air to flow through the gaps between the heat dissipation fins 14. The rapidly flowing air can accelerate the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation fins 14.
[0052] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a removable fastening sealing ring 4 is provided at the connection between the connecting plate 12 and the sealing cover 21. By removing the fastening sealing ring 4, the sealing cover 21 can be separated from the connecting plate 12, making it convenient to clean and replace the filter element 3 in the sealing cover 21. This maintenance method is more convenient than cleaning the inner wall of the pipeline. The fastening sealing ring 4 tightly connects the connecting plate 12 and the sealing cover 21 together, and by wrapping the fastening sealing ring 4 around the connection between the connecting plate 12 and the sealing cover 21, the sealing performance at the connection between the connecting plate 12 and the sealing cover 21 can be improved, preventing leakage.
[0053] It should be noted that, as Figure 4 As shown, a partition plate 23 is also provided inside the sealing cover 21. The partition plate 23 is located between the two external pipes 22, dividing the interior of the sealing cover 21 into two chambers. The end of the partition plate 23 abuts against the connecting plate 12, separating the through holes 13 on both sides. The filter element 3 is located in one of the chambers of the sealing cover 21. Cooling water enters the chamber with the filter element 3 through the external pipe 22. The filter element 3 filters impurities in the cooling water. The filtered cooling water enters the interior of the circulation pipe 11 through the through hole 13 for circulation and heat dissipation. The cooled water after heat dissipation is discharged through the other chamber to avoid the merging of filtered and unfiltered cooling water.
[0054] Meanwhile, because the filter element 3 only covers the inlet of the circulation pipe 11, the cooling water will not be blocked during the discharge process. Therefore, it has better circulation efficiency than covering all the through holes 13.
[0055] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary heat dissipation mechanism 5 includes a fan blade support cylinder 51, which is supported by a heat dissipation fin plate 14. A drive shaft 52 is mounted on the axis of the fan blade support cylinder 51. A heat dissipation fan blade 53 is mounted at the end of the drive shaft 52, which can rotate under power. When the drive shaft 52 is driven to rotate, the rotating drive shaft 52 will drive the heat dissipation fan blade 53 to rotate at high speed, thereby driving airflow like an electric fan. The heat dissipation effect of the device is increased by the airflow.
[0056] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, a hydraulic drive chamber 511 is provided inside the fan blade support cylinder 51. One end of the drive shaft 52 extends into the interior of the hydraulic drive chamber 511, and several resistance blades 521 are equidistantly arranged on the outer surface of the area inside the hydraulic drive chamber 511.
[0057] Two water pipes 54 are provided on the outer surface of the fan blade support cylinder 51. One end of the two water pipes 54 is connected to the inside of the hydraulic drive chamber 511, and the other end of the two water pipes 54 is connected to the inside of the same circulation pipe 11.
[0058] When a portion of the cooling water circulating in the circulation pipe 11 enters the interior of the fan blade support cylinder 51 through one of the water pipes 54, and then returns to the circulation pipe 11 through the other water pipe 54 for further circulation, the power of the cooling water flow in the hydraulic drive chamber 511 drives the drive shaft 52 to rotate by pushing the resistance blades 521. This, in turn, drives the cooling fan blades 53 to rotate, increasing airflow and achieving the effect of driving the cooling fan blades 53 to rotate without additional power.
[0059] The working process and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Cooling water for cooling thermoplastic elastomer materials is drawn from the cooling water pool by the pump body and transported to the inside of the sealing cover 21 through one of the external pipes 22. After being filtered by the filter element 3, the cooling water circulates through the circulation pipe 11 to dissipate heat and then returns to the cooling water pool through the other external pipe 22. This reduces the amount of impurities in the water adhering to the inside of the circulation pipe 11 and causing blockage, thus saving maintenance costs. At the same time, part of the cooling water circulating in the circulation pipe 11 enters the inside of the fan blade support cylinder 51 through one of the water pipes 54, and then returns to the circulation pipe 11 through the other water pipe 54 for circulation. At this time, the power of the cooling water flow in the hydraulic drive chamber 511 drives the drive shaft 52 to rotate by pushing the resistance blades 521, thereby driving the cooling fan blades 53 to rotate to increase air flow. This achieves the effect of driving the cooling fan blades 53 to rotate without additional power, thus improving heat dissipation.
[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
