[0050] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0051] This application discloses a cutting mechanism for an underwater pelletizer pelletizing device.

[0052] The main shaft of the underwater pelletizer is a hollow shaft with a central hole along the axial direction. A sliding working shaft 1 passes through the central hole of the main shaft. Both ends of the sliding working shaft 1 extend from both ends of the main shaft. A cutter disc is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding working shaft 1.

[0053] An underwater pelletizer pelletizing device is provided with a feed mechanism and a sliding working shaft 1 on the main shaft, which is used to move the sliding working shaft 1 axially to complete the feed and retraction actions.

[0054] An underwater pelletizer pelletizing device includes a feed mechanism comprising a protective cylinder 2, a threaded sleeve 3, a threaded rod 4, an adjusting cylinder 5, and a drive motor 6. The protective cylinder 2 is mounted on the end of the main shaft motor and coaxially sleeved outside the sliding working shaft 1. The threaded sleeve 3 is coaxially mounted on the end of the protective cylinder 2. The threaded rod 4 passes through the threaded sleeve 3 and is threadedly connected to it. One end of the threaded rod 4 is coaxial with the sliding working shaft 1 and rotatably engages with it via an adapter 7. An adjusting cylinder 5 is coaxially mounted on the end of the protective cylinder 2 near the threaded sleeve 3, and is coaxially sleeved outside the threaded rod 4. The drive motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the end of the adjusting cylinder 5 away from the protective cylinder 2. The motor shaft of the drive motor 6 is coaxial with the adjusting cylinder 5, passes through the adjusting cylinder 5, and engages with the threaded rod 4. The axial distance between the motor shaft of the drive motor 6 and the threaded rod 4 is adjustable.

[0055] When the sliding working shaft 1 needs to move axially to complete the feed and retraction actions, the drive motor 6 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 4 and the threaded sleeve 3 are threadedly connected, and the threaded sleeve 3 is fixed to the end of the protective cylinder 2, the threaded rod 4 moves axially with the threaded sleeve 3 when it rotates. By controlling the rotation direction of the threaded rod 4, the direction of its axial movement is controlled, thereby causing the threaded rod 4 to drive the sliding working shaft 1 to move, thus completing the feed and retraction actions. Since both the threaded rod 4 and the sliding working shaft 1 are rotatably engaged with the adapter 7, the possibility of the sliding working shaft 1 affecting the operation of the threaded rod 4 when it rotates is reduced.

[0056] To facilitate the axial movement of the motor shaft of the drive motor 6 and the threaded rod 4 along the threaded rod 4, the motor shaft of the drive motor 6 and the threaded rod 4 are connected by a movable part 8.

[0057] The movable component 8 includes a mounting sleeve 81. One end of the mounting sleeve 81 is coaxially sleeved on the end of the motor shaft of the drive motor 6 and fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 6. The other end of the mounting sleeve 81 is coaxially sleeved on the end of the threaded rod 4 and fixed to the end of the threaded rod 4.

[0058] The end of the mounting cylinder 81 furthest from the drive motor 6 has a guide groove 82 along its axial direction. The threaded rod 4 has a guide bar, and the guide bar and the guide groove 82 are in sliding engagement. The motor shaft of the drive motor 6 drives the mounting cylinder 81 to rotate. The inner wall of the guide groove 82 on the mounting cylinder 81 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate through the guide bar. When the threaded rod 4 moves along its own axial direction, the guide bar moves inside the guide groove 82.

[0059] Since the rotation of the threaded rod 4 around its own axis and its movement along its own axis are synchronous, when the threaded rod 4 moves, one end of the guide bar is likely to come into close contact with one side of the guide groove 82, which can easily cause friction between the guide bar and the inner wall of the guide groove 82. After a long period of contact between the guide bar and the groove wall of the guide groove 82, the guide bar and the inner wall of the guide groove 82 will experience some wear, thus affecting the working accuracy of the threaded rod 4.

[0060] In order to reduce friction between the guide bar and the guide groove 82 and extend the service life of the threaded rod 4 and the mounting sleeve 81, a lubrication unit 9 is provided between the guide groove 82 and the guide bar. When the threaded rod 4 is working, the lubrication unit 9 lubricates the contact surface between the guide bar and the groove wall of the guide groove 82.

[0061] The lubrication unit 9 includes a sliding bar 91, a mounting bracket 92, and an oil-soaked sponge 93. There is a pair of mounting brackets 92, which are respectively installed at both ends of the sliding bar 91. The sliding bar 91 and the mounting brackets 92 are arranged in a U-shape. The oil-soaked sponge 93 is installed on the side of the mounting brackets 92 that are close to each other.

[0062] The sliding bar 91 is installed on the inner wall of the guide groove 82 on the side close to the drive motor 6. The sliding bar 91 and the inner wall of the guide groove 82 move in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the drive motor 6.

[0063] Each guide groove 82 has a placement groove 83 on one side that is close to the other. A lubrication plate 84 is provided at the opening of the placement groove 83, and the lubrication plate 84 has multiple oil leakage holes 86. An oil baffle ring 85 is provided on the side of the placement groove 83 that is close to the drive motor 6. An oil immersion cavity is formed between the guide groove 82, the oil baffle ring 85 and the lubrication plate 84.

[0064] Both the placement rack 92 and the oil-soaked sponge 93 are placed inside the oil-soaking cavity. The placement rack 92 is placed inside and passes through the oil-blocking ring 85. When the sliding strip 91 slides, it drives the placement rack 92 to move inside the oil-blocking ring 85. The oil content of the oil-soaked sponge 93 is maintained by injecting lubricating oil into the oil-soaking cavity.

[0065] As the oil-impregnated sponge 93 moves toward the lubrication plate 84, the sponge 93 and the lubrication plate 84 press against each other. The pressed sponge 93 squeezes out the lubricating oil, which seeps out through the oil drain hole 86 on the lubrication plate 84. This lubricates the contact surface between the lubrication plate 84 and the guide strip, reducing friction loss and extending the service life of the lubrication plate 84 and the mounting cylinder 81. The excess lubricating oil squeezed out is blocked by the lubrication plate 84 and flows into the oil-impregnation cavity, allowing the sponge 93 to reabsorb the lubricating oil, thereby reducing lubricating oil consumption.

[0066] When the drive motor 6 drives the mounting cylinder 81 to move, the sliding bar 91 is thrown in the opposite direction of the rotation of the mounting cylinder 81. At this time, the oil-impregnated sponge 93 close to the contact surface between the guide bar and the lubrication plate 84 moves toward the lubrication plate 84 to specifically lubricate the guide bar, thereby improving the lubrication effect and reducing the consumption of lubricating oil.

[0067] The oil-impregnated sponge 93 is fixed to the placement rack 92 with screws, thereby improving the convenience and stability of installing the oil-impregnated sponge 93 on the placement rack 92.

[0068] The sliding bar 91 has a mounting hole, and the mounting bracket 92 has a mounting rod that is inserted into the mounting hole. The mounting rod is detachably connected to the inside of the mounting hole. The inner wall of the mounting hole has an axial insertion hole 94, and the inner wall of the mounting hole has a circumferential limiting groove. The mounting rod has a limiting strip 95 that slides into the insertion hole 94.

[0069] After placing the sliding strip 91 inside the guide groove 82, place the placement bracket 92 in the placement groove 83 and pass the placement bracket 92 through the oil baffle ring 85 so that the placement bracket 92 is inserted into the insertion hole 94. Then, rotate the placement bracket 92 so that the limiting strip 95 is placed in the limiting groove and the limiting strip 95 is limited by the groove wall of the limiting groove, thereby completing the installation of the placement bracket 92.

[0070] Elastic pads 96 are provided at both ends of the sliding strip 91 to buffer the force of the sliding strip 91 impacting the mounting cylinder 81, extend the service life of the sliding strip 91 and the mounting cylinder 81, and reduce noise. Depending on the rotation speed, the elastic pads 96 are compressed to different degrees, and thus the oil-impregnated sponge 93 is compressed to different degrees, thereby controlling the oil output.

[0071] The implementation principle of the feeding mechanism for an underwater pelletizer pelletizing device according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When the feeding mechanism is working, the drive motor 6 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate. The threaded rod 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 3 fixed at the end of the protective cylinder 2. Therefore, it moves axially during rotation, thereby driving the sliding working shaft 1 to move and complete the feeding and retraction actions. The motor shaft of the drive motor 6 is connected to the threaded rod 4 through a movable part 8. One end of the mounting cylinder 81 is fixed to the end of the motor shaft, and the other end is fixed to the end of the threaded rod 4. The end of the mounting cylinder 81 away from the motor is provided with a guide groove 82 along the axis. The guide strip on the threaded rod 4 slides in cooperation with the guide groove 82. In order to reduce the friction between the guide strip and the inner wall of the guide groove 82 and extend the service life, a lubrication unit 9 is provided between the guide groove 82 and the guide strip. When the threaded rod 4 is working, the lubrication unit 9 lubricates the contact surface. The sliding strip 91 in the lubrication unit 9 is installed on the inner wall of the guide groove 82 near the motor. The placement brackets 92 at both ends are U-shaped, and the oil-soaked sponge 93 is installed on the side of the placement brackets 92 that are close to each other. The placement rack 92 and the oil-soaked sponge 93 are located in the oil-soaking cavity formed by the guide groove 82, the oil-blocking ring 85, and the lubrication plate 84. The oil content of the oil-soaked sponge 93 is maintained by injecting lubricating oil into this cavity. When the oil-soaked sponge 93 moves toward the lubrication plate 84 and is squeezed, the lubricating oil seeps out from the oil leakage hole 86 to lubricate the contact surface. Excess lubricating oil flows back to the oil-soaking cavity for the oil-soaked sponge 93 to absorb again, reducing wear.

[0072] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
