The first grooved wheel 8 and the second grooved wheel 9 are connected by the belt 10. Several disturbance rods 12 are fixedly connected to the outer edge of the driven rod 11.
[0029] A cooling fan 13 is located near the center of the top of the housing 1. A first connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the rear of the cooling fan 13. A second connecting plate 15 is provided on both the left and right sides of the first connecting plate 14. A pin 16 is provided through the inner cavity of the first connecting plate 14. The first connecting plate 14 and the pin 16 are rotatably connected. The two ends of the pin 16 are fixedly connected through the adjacent second connecting plates 15. The second connecting plates 15 are fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. A connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the front of the cooling fan 13. The bottom end of the connecting rod 17 is in contact with the top of the housing 1. A vertical plate 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 17.

[0030] Two second fixing brackets 20 are provided on the right side of the inner cavity of the housing 1. Three second guide rollers 21 are provided between the two second fixing brackets 20.

[0031] Working principle: This utility model is a filament splitting device for a twin-screw extruder. During use, unscrew the first wing screw 19 to release the fixing of the connecting rod 17 and the vertical plate 18. Then, hold the connecting rod 17 to drive the cooling fan 13 to rotate upward. The cooling fan 13 rotates upward with the pin 16 as the center. Rotate the cooling fan 13 to the top away from the box 1. At this time, the filament arrangement is more convenient.
[0032] Afterwards, the ribbon will first exit from the extrusion port of the twin-thread extruder, and then be immersed in the housing 1 for cooling along the three second guide rollers 21. Afterwards, it will pass through one of the middle second guide rollers 21 and be conveyed to the splitting roller 5 along the pressure roller 7 and the first guide roller 6. Each filament will continue to travel in the splitting groove of the splitting roller 5.
[0033] After the ribbon is arranged, flip the cooling fan 13 to the top of the box 1, and then tighten the first wing screw 19 to fix the cooling fan 13. The fan 7 can blow air towards the water surface. During the ribbon conveying process, the first guide roller 6 will rotate. The first guide roller 6 drives the driven rod 11 to rotate through the first grooved wheel 8, the second grooved wheel 9 and the belt 10. The driven rod 11 drives the disturbance rod 12 to rotate. Under the stirring action of the disturbance rod 12, the water in the box 1 is cooled evenly.
[0034] When it is necessary to clean the second guide roller 21, first loosen the second wing screw 23 to release the fixation of the second fixing frame 20, and then flip the second fixing frame 20 clockwise. The second fixing frame 20 flips with the second guide roller 21 above it as the center. The second fixing frame 20 flips to the inner cavity away from the box 1. At this time, the horizontal plate 22 flips to the top of the other fixing plate 24. Then tighten the second wing screw 23 to fix the second fixing frame 20, and then clean the second guide roller 21.
