TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to TPU cutting separation technical field, concretely relates to circulating water cooling granulation separation system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the existing TPU underwater cutting production line, the material is cut into particles in the underwater cutting area of the cutting machine after being melted and extruded by the extruder, and then enters the water cavity for preliminary cooling, and then completes the preparation of finished products through processes such as centrifugal dewatering and vibration screening. The existing process generally has the following technical pain points: first, a large amount of fine powder and too small particles are still entrained in the TPU particles after centrifugal dewatering, which easily causes screen mesh blockage after directly entering the vibration screen, not only reducing the screening efficiency, but also greatly shortening the service life of the screen mesh and increasing the maintenance cost. Secondly, the material impact is large, and the equipment is easy to damage. The material falls at high speed from the discharge port of the centrifugal machine, directly impacting the screen surface of the vibration screen, which easily leads to screen mesh damage and uneven material distribution, affecting the screening accuracy. At the same time, the TPU particles are easy to agglomerate due to static electricity during the conveying process, forming a material mass, which further aggravates the burden of the screen mesh. Finally, the conveying chute is a square flow channel, which is easy to stick and accumulate at the corner, causing poor feeding, even causing blockage, and affecting the continuous and stable operation of the production line.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system that is compact in structure, does not require additional external devices, and can simultaneously complete pre-screening, buffer material, and waste heat recovery during material conveying, to solve the defects in the prior art. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0012] Further, the oscillator is arranged on the top of the protruding section cavity. The protruding section cavity is an enlarged cavity, so that the TPU particle flow rate is instantaneously reduced, sufficient residence and screening space is provided for the fine powder and small particles, and the incomplete screening caused by the too fast flow rate is avoided. The small particles pass through the filter screen and are discharged from the pre-screening pipeline below and collected, the high-frequency vibration of the oscillator prevents the fine powder from adhering to the wall, ensures the continuous and stable pre-screening process, and also avoids the particles from adhering to the corner of the chute as much as possible, so that the particles in the whole chute can smoothly slide to the vibrating screen.
[0013] The fine powder and small particles collected by the pre-screening pipeline can be recycled, and after drying and removing water, the TPU particles can be re-put into the extruder for melting and granulation, so that the raw material loss is significantly reduced, and the economy of the production line is improved.
[0014] The sealing plate is arranged on the top of the chute, and the sealing plate can be opened to disassemble and replace the filter screen and clean the whole chute pipeline.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The utility model can be understood by the following combining with examples.

[0028] Further, a temperature sensor 401 is provided on the water cavity 4, which is used for monitoring the temperature of the cooling water in real time, so as to accurately adjust the operation power of the refrigerating machine 12 and realize energy-saving cooling.
[0029] Further, the circulating water tank 6 is connected with the refrigerating machine 12 through a first transmission pump 11 and a pipeline, so as to realize the circulating cooling of the backwater.
[0030] Further, the refrigerating machine 12 is connected with a cooling water inlet pipeline 14, which is used for supplementing the cooling water of the system.
[0031] Further, the bottom area of the buffer cylinder 9 is greater than the bottom area of the chute 7. The principle of sudden change of flow passage cross-sectional area is used to make the flow speed of the TPU particles suddenly decrease and realize the kinetic energy dissipation. At the same time, a sufficient radial space is provided for the radial spreading of the TPU particles by the large-diameter cavity, and the TPU particles are diffused to the surrounding under the action of inertia. At the same time, the discharge end of the conveying chute 7 is a square transition section, which is smoothly connected with the cylindrical buffer cylinder 9 through a circular arc surface, so that there is no dead angle in the inside.
[0032] Further, the flow splitting mechanism 901 is two semicircular arc-shaped support frames, and the semicircular arc protrusions are directly opposite to the bottom surface of the chute 7. The semicircular arc-shaped support frames are fixed on the side wall of the buffer cylinder 9. The flow splitting and guiding effect of the semicircular arc-shaped support frames can scatter the material lumps and uniformly distribute the materials, so that the TPU particles originally concentrated in the center of the screen can be uniformly spread, and the entire screen surface of the vibrating screen 10 can be fully utilized.
[0033] Further, the outer top of the convex section cavity 701 is provided with an oscillator 702. The convex section cavity 701 is an expanded cavity, which makes the TPU particle flow rate instantaneously decrease, provides sufficient residence and screening space for fine powder and small particles, and avoids incomplete screening due to too fast flow rate. Small particles pass through the filter screen 801 and are discharged from the pre-screening pipeline 8 below and collected, and the high-frequency vibration of the oscillator 702 prevents fine powder from sticking to the wall, ensures the continuous and stable pre-screening process, and also avoids particles sticking to the corners of the chute 7 as much as possible, so as to ensure that the particles in the entire chute 7 can smoothly slide to the vibrating screen 10.
[0034] The fine powder and small particles collected by the pre-screening pipeline 8 can be recycled, and after drying and removing water, they can be re-put into the extruder 1 for melting and granulation, which significantly reduces the loss of raw materials and improves the economy of the production line.
[0035] A sealing plate is provided at the top of the chute 7, which can be opened to disassemble and replace the filter screen 801 and clean the entire chute 7 pipeline.
[0036] Working principle:
[0037] The TPU molten material is extruded by the extruder 1 and cut into particles in the underwater cutting area of the pelletizer 2, and then falls directly into the cooling water in the water cavity 4. The low-temperature cooling water delivered by the circulating water pipeline 3 continuously flows in and fully mixes with the particles to achieve rapid cooling. The temperature sensor 401 on the water cavity 4 monitors the water temperature in real time to provide data for subsequent cooling control. The cooling water mixed with TPU particles flows out of the water cavity 4 and enters the centrifuge 5 for dehydration. After dehydration, the particles enter the chute 7 arranged at an inclination, and the cooling water flows into the circulating water tank 6. The TPU particles slide down along the chute 7 and enter the convex section cavity 701. The expanded volume of the convex section cavity 701 makes the material flow rate instantaneously decrease, providing sufficient residence and screening space for fine powder and small particles. Fine powder with a particle size smaller than the pore size of the filter screen 801 passes through the screen holes, is discharged from the pre-screening pipeline 8 below and collected, and can be recycled. At the same time, the oscillator 702 at the outer top of the convex section cavity 701 produces high-frequency vibration to prevent fine powder from sticking to the wall and to avoid particles accumulating at the corners of the chute, ensuring smooth sliding of the material. Qualified TPU particles enter the cylindrical buffer cylinder 9 with a larger bottom area from the square discharge end of the chute 7. The material flow rate suddenly decreases due to the sudden change in cross-sectional area, achieving kinetic energy dissipation and avoiding high-speed impact. Subsequently, the particles hit the semicircular arc-shaped support frame in the buffer cylinder 9, the material mass is broken up, and under the guiding action, it is evenly spread to all directions. Finally, it is evenly and stably spread on the entire screen surface of the vibrating screen 10 for final screening. The backwater in the circulating water tank 6 is sent to the refrigerating machine 12 by the first transfer pump 11, and the refrigerating machine 12 adjusts the cooling power according to the feedback of the temperature sensor 401. The low-temperature water after cooling is sent back to the pelletizer 2 by the second transfer pump 13, completing the entire water circulation.
